In short

The episode is a Part of My Take live-from-Big-Cedar episode. It mixes Coach Jon Gruden’s football talk, “Mount Rushmore of things we don’t get the hype about,” and “Fyre Fest of the Week” (their group hang). Between segments they also trade national sports podcast headlines and discuss recent sports news (NFL training camp fights, NBA/TV rights costs, MLB streaks, etc.).

Guests

Coach Jon Gruden appears in person as the main guest. The rest of the episode is the usual Part of My Take crew (Barstool’s PFT, Big Cat, Hank, Max, Memes, and Zach are referenced throughout).

Guest backgrounds

Coach Jon Gruden is a football coach/football personality (called “Coach Gruden,” brought on to talk football and get listeners pumped for the season).

Key claims

  1. “Mega bed” (pushing two queen beds together) is credited as a trip highlight and a social-media hit after Taylor Swift appeared on New Heights; they joke it “won” the night.
  2. Ownership/league coverage is too expensive and fragmented; they argue sports fans pay massive money for multiple subscriptions.
  3. They argue several popular cultural items are overhyped (e.g., Stanley Cup tumblers, caviar, LaBouba, soccer, lip fillers, Taylor Swift easter eggs, sports cards, Marvel movies, cold plunges, daily vitamins, and “butt stuff”).

Notable examples

  • Mike Vrabel breaks up a training-camp fight.
  • Landon Dickerson brings/shared beer during joint practice.
  • Minnesota Twins ownership issues a “we heard you” statement and says they won’t sell.
  • Brewers’ 12-game win streak and a restaurant’s free-burger promotion leading to a 9-1-1 call.
  • Mount Rushmore picks include Stanley Cup drinkware, caviar, LaBouba, soccer, lip fillers, Taylor Swift easter eggs, sports cards, Marvel movies, cold plunges, daily vitamins, and butt stuff.

Yeah, but does he still have hype? I don't know. I think some, I think if he has one good game, he's going to get hype. That is true. You know what? But he does have hype because they're going to talk about him all the time. Yeah, absolutely. Did you see Jerry Jones? I think Sportico came out with the most valuable franchises in all sports. Cowboys,$12.8 billion. That's pretty good. Damn, dude. It's pretty good. The other notable NFL franchises, Cowboys,$12.8.

12:10PFT Commenter:Rams,$10.43. Giants,$10.25. Bill. uh patriots 8.76 and the 49ers 8.6 billion that's a lot of money that's a lot of money

12:22Big Cat:yeah i wonder who's what's going to happen you know hopefully it's a long time from now but when jerry jones does pass away steven you think he's gonna is he gonna be able to pay the taxes all that shit yeah because he bought he bought the cowboys for like for nothing yeah if they were

12:39PFT Commenter:for sale though who's gonna buy them the shefter had a tweet which was kind of weird because he was basically being like look how rich jerry jones is but he bought what did he end up buying the the cowboys for it was it was it was nothing in in like the grand scheme of how crazy all of these

12:57Big Cat:franchises have blown up probably a couple hundred mil yeah probably like a yeah and like a box of

13:02PFT Commenter:strawberries or something he's like here you go i got a big oil well up in norman i'll sell that

13:07Big Cat:to you pennies on the dollar give me give me them cowboys give me that all right i'm gonna try to

13:11PFT Commenter:find it but the glazing was crazy on this also he was glazing the cow what was up with that they're not i guess kelsey jason kelsey works for espn a little bit right but still he has like first take was talking about it all right here it is i got it jerry's world uh 12.8 billion dollars is the current valuation of the dallas cowboys jerry jones when he bought the cowboys was for 140 million dollars in 1989 that's crazy that is insane 140 million dollars to 12.8 billion dollars good for him good for him good for him good things happen to bad people he was just talking about how

13:51Big Cat:he still thinks all press is good press no matter what about the cowboys he threw in a little dig at the nfl he was like i do all this i i bring eyes not only to my team but i do it for the nfl

14:02PFT Commenter:free of charge to the NFL yeah you should thank me more often Roger which I agree yeah I'd like

14:08Big Cat:to see Roger Goodell like publicly humiliated by his own ownership group more frequently yeah

14:13PFT Commenter:absolutely like bend the knee to them yeah just little slight digs here and there yeah um do you guys the uh the NBA uh rights thing has kind of settled where we got the schedule this this sucks I'm just gonna say this right now I mean this is not news it's not breaking news it's not novel it sucks what they're doing to us as sports fans overall where we have to have every subscription a million different channels all this stuff to watch sports i saw there was something that was like the average nfl fan has to pay like 1300 this year to watch every nfl game because you have to have netflix you have to have amazon you have to have cable you have to sunday ticket all this

14:52Big Cat:shit it's absurd it's absurd if you want to be a sports fan in america you are paying a shitload of money way more than you're capable every ever was way more than direct tv satellite ever was you have to get all these streaming packages i think the government is going to try to break them up yeah i are force them to merge bundle into a bundle that's a cable i guess that's the opposite of breaking they're going to set them up yeah no we're going back to cable we have to go back yeah they're going to bundle them hopefully that happens soon because it is fucking expensive

15:20PFT Commenter:Yeah. So Mondays are Peacock. Tuesdays are NBC and Peacock. Wednesdays are ESPN. Thursdays are Amazon Prime. Fridays are Amazon Prime and ESPN. Saturdays are Amazon Prime and ABC. Sundays are ABC, NBC and Peacock. There should be a bundle.

15:37Big Cat:So stupid. There should be a bundle. Maybe within these different apps like Peacock. You only get Peacock Sports. yeah you only get paramount sports and then you bundle all those different sports ones together

15:48PFT Commenter:and you get the sports megabed yeah the megabed of sports fucking love that uh also shout out pft our two teams uh you're you're last i'm second to last in least amount of prime time games so the wizards have two prime time games the bulls have three that's two too many that's yeah there's a lot of teams tied i'd like to apologize for the two prime time games that the wizards do have this year did you guys see um i this is not really a big story but tim dundon the guy from the carolina hurricanes he bought the portland trailblazers is that the weirdest combination of teams you can own yeah probably what's weirder if you owned like if you

16:29Big Cat:owned the orlando magic and the uh new england revolution what about yeah or like oh let's think

16:41PFT Commenter:the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Ottawa Senators. That'd be a pretty weird one. That'd be really strange. The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Seattle Sounders. Is that what... Is it Sounders? I think it's Sounders. Sounders.

16:57Big Cat:The team that always plays against Portland. Yeah.

16:59PFT Commenter:Carolina and Portland. In basketball and hockey. That's very strange.

17:06Big Cat:Good for Tim Dundon. Great job. I think that dude's like a... same colors payday loan king what same colors true do you think he bought the blazers because

17:15PFT Commenter:their logo is kind of like a hurricane he's trying to make it like a mini like pittsburgh

17:20Big Cat:but it's all across the country yeah he gets to save money on his merch sales because i just need the hurricane shape i need to i need that mass produced for me oh shit so is he gonna so he's gonna buy the arizona cardinals the colors yeah but yeah it like the blazers i don't know what Why are the Portland Blazers, why is their logo the hurricane sign from the Weather Channel?

17:41PFT Commenter:Okay.

17:41Big Cat:Do you want me to look it up? Yeah, yeah. I'd like to know.

17:43PFT Commenter:You guys got a filibuster.

17:44Big Cat:These are the things that chat my ass day in, day out. Can I gas Hank up real quick? No. I'd like to gas, permission to gas you.

17:52PFT Commenter:No. Granted.

17:54Big Cat:Hank is really good at golf. He's too shy to say it on the podcast. Too shy to say it on the podcast. My man Hank came back this morning. He shot a 37 on the front line. 38 on the front nine with a seven on the first hole yeah made an eagle i played well i mean it was it was i got it doesn't really matter we were playing for fun me and me and grinnell malsex some of the producers memes but you know let's say it was it was a it's a beautiful beautiful beautiful place shout out to big cedar three of the nicest courses i've ever seen unbelievable par three course this place is magical once again you didn't do it on camera i just enjoy being out there with the boys i'm you know i'm happy to post a good score didn't go as well in the back

18:37PFT Commenter:but it was it was a great day 37 so what you'd have to shoot 40 i shot 84 so hank texted me

18:45Big Cat:there's rattlesnake so i was too scared to go he he texted me an update he said i just shot 38 on the front and i said if you break 80 i'm gonna wipe your deck clean eight thousand dollars wow unfortunately that got in my head yeah sorry i definitely didn't do that just to mess with you

19:00PFT Commenter:Okay, filibuster over. The Portland Trailblazers logo is a pinwheel design because it visually represents two basketball teams, five players on each side coming together at center court. The intersecting lines with their curved nature also symbolize the speed and motion of the game. It's a fucking hurricane. That's so stupid. Yeah, just say it's a hurricane. You know what? That makes me think that they came up. At some point, this logo was the most state-of-the-art logo that's ever been done yeah they were like watch this there's it's five five motion of the game

19:35Big Cat:you've never seen a logo like this 1970s we are living in the future yeah all right so that guy

19:41PFT Commenter:uh yeah that guy owns both teams tim dundon good for him good for him uh do you want to talk a little baseball i don't know if we have any baseball the cubs stink brewers never lose

19:51Big Cat:don't lose crazy crazy well there is a brewer's story out there what the brewers had i believe a 12 game win streak yeah and there's a local restaurant that gives away free hamburgers whenever the brewers have a 12 game win streak they've only done it three times they've done it like four times this year yeah since it started in like i want to say the 60s they've only had three times where they've given away these hamburgers and one guy in wisconsin got so mad he went to the he went to the restaurant tried to claim his free burger and they're like hey man we have to give out free burgers to everybody in the state so it's going to take a couple days you'll get your burger and he called 9-1-1 what yeah he caroned out on the free burger damn yeah called the cops that's crazy and then they're i mean they're gonna do it he's gonna have another shot

20:36PFT Commenter:at it they've won like uh oh no they're on the 12 game win streak yeah they don't lose they do not lose i i got a question for you guys because would you say the cubs were up like i can't remember what our biggest lead was but at what point is a blown lead like it's too early for a blown lead right like and also the brewers are up eight games now it happened in like two seconds yeah still august it's not like like a blown lead in the division has to happen in september right yeah would you guys agree yeah okay that this is by the way the ultimate loser talk that i'm just trying to find solace and being like we didn't blow the lead yeah it's way too early yeah i think you guys just got out to a hot start yeah it's crazy dude to eight they're up eight games in central it's like it happened in last like three like two and a half weeks it's fucking nuts um i'm excited they'll play up the wild card race is gonna be awesome really really good the phillies how are they doing uh they just lost a series to the reds but you know it's nothing worse than we we've been winning most of our series recently so it's it's okay yeah we haven't scored in the past two zero runs in the past two games is troubling though you gotta score and our two Two of our best pitchers have not looked great, but we're, you know, we're talking that up.

21:55We got, we got some time before October.

21:57Big Cat:We were talking some ball last night. We were talking some, some positional numbers. When Hank was trying to figure out what, what order Shohei Otani's triple play went. Do you remember what it was?

22:10Big Cat:It's like the four aces all over again. It was just six, three. No, you, you said six, five, four, three. No, that's what I said. but with the actual triple play, it was just shortstop. I think it was second. I think it was 4-3. 4-3. May have been 6-3. I don't know. That got me wondering if there's ever been a play in Major League Baseball where every player on the field has touched the ball. I feel like no. It would have to be the craziest pickle of all time. Well, it would be like Little League. Yes.

22:36PFT Commenter:It would be a pickle. It would probably be like a – Double pickle. A crazy error in the outfield. I feel like it could happen. If you get a ball hit to right field, the guy misses it, and then the center fielder has to back him up and then there's a pickle between second and third. Yeah. So then you get the left fielder in there and it's got to go for a while. A position to Gami. Maybe a throw to home, misses the catcher, pitcher backing him up.

23:03Big Cat:It was long enough. Yeah, center, left field, catcher could all get involved. Yeah. Let's see, somebody asked that question.

23:09PFT Commenter:Also, shout out the Padres. They took the lead in the NL West. A couple of those. Podheads.

23:14Big Cat:I like the pods. I said it last year, but I fell in love with the Padres again this year for the exact same reason. So I'll probably end up regretting it. They've been hot. They've got an awesome bullpen. They've got fun players to root for.

23:28PFT Commenter:You got it? You got the answer?

23:30Big Cat:This is just a bunch of people talking about the possibilities. One guy said, you, Darvish, once hit three people with the same pitch. That's pretty good. I'd like to see that. I found a 6-2-5-1-5-4-5-6-5-7 triple play. But you're still missing three guys with that. Yeah. I don't think it's ever happened. Yeah, probably not. That's when Peter Gamage just ascends to heaven. Yeah. Not in like a death way, just in like I've reached my final form. He's just in nirvana. Baseball nirvana.

24:02PFT Commenter:Yeah, absolutely. Okay. I don't really have much else. Is there anything else going on in the sports world? Jake Fromm's an insurance agent. You think? Yeah, that was kind of funny just seeing that. I mean, he's probably doing pretty well, but it was kind of crazy seeing him. Is he selling? Wait. He's a client advisor. Is he selling car insurance? Sterling Seacrest Pritchard, client advisor for an insurance brokerage in Atlanta. I bet you he did. Do you know, like everyone jokes about a guy like Jake Fromm, who was quarterback in Georgia. Yeah, he was drafted in the NFL by the Bills. Yep. And then like, oh, look, he's doing insurance.

24:44PFT Commenter:dude he's probably living the best life all he's doing is just playing golf he's just playing golf with clients he's playing golf with big georgia fans and bringing in deals he's probably making

24:55Big Cat:a lot of money doing it yeah like he's their closer if you're gonna if you're gonna buy insurance from somebody you might as well buy insurance from the guy that you used to be like i fucking love you dude thank you for making my life so much i guarantee you his schedule is just

25:07PFT Commenter:oh you got to go golf with these georgia fans and they'll give us millions of dollars of business

25:11Big Cat:What if you sold auto insurance to the current University of Georgia football team?

25:16PFT Commenter:That would be a high premium. That would be a very lucrative contract.

25:19Big Cat:Very, very high premium. That's probably why they recruited him. Yeah, probably.

25:23PFT Commenter:Okay, let's get to our Mount Rushmore. We have a great Mount Rushmore. Then we have Coach Gruden, and you're definitely going to want to listen to Fyre Fest because we've all been together all week. Hey, it's Rhea from Chicks in the Office.

26:36Big Cat:You guys won the last one, so you're at 38. me and max are at 36 we won the last one no no we came in last oh me and max at 36 you guys at 34 yeah uh okay memes something you want to share with class max just sent a absolute banger

26:53PFT Commenter:oh he sent a banger of a pick yeah i just thought it okay so here's what we're gonna do agent by the way uh shout out our guy this day in barstool because he counted it up we were i tweeted out asking for submissions got a lot of submissions we're going to put them in a database it'll help for next summer as well uh we've done this will be our 283rd mount rushmore that's crazy so we've done every topic a lot of people who submit topics uh i appreciate you submitting topics and a lot of people like why aren't you doing this one there's a good chance we've done it so we're and we don't want to do repeats we sometimes we accidentally repeat but if we do we try not to do any ones that we've done the last four years yeah we'd prefer not to repeat uh so I'm excited for this one.

27:35PFT Commenter:We like doing the open-ended ones because it gets a lot of discussion going. This Mount Rushmore is going to be the Mount Rushmore of things we don't understand the hype about. That's it. A little different than overrated things. It's things we don't get the hype. We don't get the hype.

27:53Big Cat:But there is hype.

27:54PFT Commenter:There's a lot of hype.

27:55Big Cat:All these things should get people mad because there should be a lot of people who do get the hype about it. It could be good things.

28:03PFT Commenter:These will be basically just hot takes or people being like, how do you not get this?

28:07Big Cat:It's probably an us problem. Correct. Yeah, this is more of a discussion. It's hard to win this one because you're just talking about things that people will - Are popular. Yes.

28:17PFT Commenter:You don't get the hype. Correct. Okay, so we're up first, Zach. For our first pick, we are going to, and we would love for you guys to allow us to put a parentheses on this one because there's something that's very confusing about it. We're going to take Stanley Cup's drinkware. The big fucking Stanley Cups that everyone goes crazy about. All the women love it. Don't understand the hype. Literally. Yeah, see how it's confusing? Not the Stanley Cup. Got it. The things that people wait in lines for, and every mom in America has it. It's literally just a cup.

28:55Big Cat:I think it's even moved on from Stanley. I feel like there's a new cup every month. Zach has the new one. What's the new one? There's quite a few. The new one I'm seeing everywhere is the O 'Walu. What is it called? I do have an O 'Walu.

29:09PFT Commenter:What are they called? So should we say what they're called? What's it called? It's a metal tumbler. Metal drinkware. But I feel like people recognize the Stanley Cups. Stanley. Stanley is one that made it popular. Yeah. No, that's good. Stanley Cups drinkware.

29:23Big Cat:People that like cold drinks. Yeah. Or hot drinks. I guess. But there's a new one. They rotate. For some reason, there's a new fad of one every few months. Yeah. And also, it's just a cup. And I lose those cups, so I've never understood the hype. Right. If I buy one, it's going to be gone. They're very, very popular. Yeah. No, I know. They resell on StockX. Yeah. Or eBay, all these.

29:46PFT Commenter:Yeah, because they're almost like Beanie Babies, the newer version of Beanie Babies, where people collect different colors and shit.

29:53Big Cat:Whatever new hot girl is doing a selfie TikTok video with her new cup, That's when all the girls are like, oh, I have to get that cup. Right. But why is it only – like, it's a girl thing too. I know. Like, if I see a guy walking around with a Stanley Cup – I think finance bros love a nice – I don't think so. I think it's – I assume that man is gay if they're walking around with a Stanley Cup. Yeah. If they ever know. I do. Wow. What if it's – If you have a reasonable cup – Yeah. Like, it's like a fashion – it's like a fashion thing. Can you imagine, like, washing out a cup and then using that same cup the next day?

30:26Big Cat:you probably like guys Max what about tumbler cups in the house like metal I think it's more of the Stanley cups I think you have a problem with straws like a blue Stanley cup putting your mouth all up on that straw

30:43PFT Commenter:is that a hot take yeah kind of do you guys like to pick I don't get the hype I don't agree

30:50Big Cat:I don't know if Max is ever going to be putting on that headset again

30:56PFT Commenter:i know i think oh now he's rattled he's rattled all right you guys who's up next

31:02Big Cat:you guys all right hank you got the ball hank we had a great discussion earlier we had a great discussion probably the most efficient meeting we've ever had love that uh we're gonna go with caviar head on the list caviar quick pick hank expensive not good i like caviar of course you do that's i judge that a little bit you're eating fish cum yeah no i think it tastes i think it tastes good like i think i might just like potato chips and cream and creme creme fresh you like having something that you eat before an appetizer yeah yeah it's nice it is nice i've only had it like a handful of times but i'm like this is the the bite of the potato chip the cream for the creme fresh and the caviar is good i don't know if the caviar is needed it could just be you just like chips yeah but it's good i've never had a bite of caviar and be like that is delicious I haven't really eaten that much.

31:51Big Cat:I've probably had it like four times in my life. One time me and Hank actually went to a Super Bowl party. It was a pretty swanky party. And they had this food truck that was parked there. And they were giving out caviar bumps. You remember that? And they put them on your hands. Oh, yeah. And then Hank looked at it. And he acted like he thought he was supposed to snort it. Yeah. I mean, I shouldn't have stopped him.

32:09PFT Commenter:I'm not a guy who turns down appetizer passed around. I will always turn down caviar. like when the woman or man walks around and they're just like hey you want this caviar on like a little toasted baguette or something like no thank you yeah it's like

32:23Big Cat:synonymous with like super super nice like yeah the most luxurious places you're serving caviar

32:28PFT Commenter:it's like i would rather get served anything else yep yep yep good pick good pick um okay we're gonna go with r11 if we're talking strictly things that we don't understand the hype about labubu yeah don't know it don't get it don't understand it it's a good pick i don't i i'm not very familiar with labubus oh it is hot in the streets yeah i know what they are but i'm not i i can't say i've seen many labubus they are oh no they are very much do you think it's partially because it's a fun word to say maybe labubu is fun maybe it's fun but babubu That's when LeBron knows his team's about to lose.

33:11PFT Commenter:He gets a little boo-boo.

33:13Big Cat:Is that guys and girls or just girls? I don't know.

33:17PFT Commenter:Who does do? I don't know. But I know that it's like a recent thing. French children? Where are you seeing the boo-boo? TikTok. It's all over TikTok. Got it. Like, people are obsessed with getting the boo-boo and then, like, unboxing the la boo-boo that they get and, like, getting super excited.

33:33Big Cat:I think it's just a great name. Oh, yeah, that's what I'm saying. I can't stop saying LaBouba. Yeah, I think no one really understands what it is. I think part of it can also be like the chase of them because it's like blind boxes. So like you're trying to find the rare ones. Yeah. So that they're like chasing maybe. I guess. LaBouba. Next one, you're going to get people angry. I think the people in this room are – most of the people in this room are going to agree with it. Soccer. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Don't understand. It's the most popular sport in the world by far. Yep. and i watch a game and it seems so fucking boring like i get the moment that you get the goal is very fun but every other moment in between it is like when are they going to fucking do something yeah no soccer has it's yeah it's probably going to lose us lose us the draft because so many people you got to be fucking love soccer it's because yeah to ourselves it's because it's it's the easiest sport to play so the most people play it the most people watch all you need is a ball and you can play.

34:32Big Cat:It's the people's sport. I agree. It's most of the time not that fun to watch. I only care about the World Cup. I only care about the internationals. I can't get into club soccer if it's MLS, if it's EPL. I've tried. It's hard. You have to have a passion for that team.

34:48PFT Commenter:No, soccer's the one sport that I confidently can say I've never watched a soccer game that I didn't have money on. I've watched every other sport without gambling. I have to gamble to watch soccer. It is fun to play.

35:00Big Cat:COVID happened. It was like the first sport that came back, and I was like, this is, thank God. Like Ukrainian soccer. And I was watching, I was like, I still don't care. Yeah. If it's not going to happen now, it's never happened. Max, do you like penalties? PKs? Yeah, I mean, that's fun, but that's like so rare. World Cup final was one of the best sporting events I've watched in the last few years. That was electric. I can't wait for the World Cup in the United States, but I agree that soccer, I can't dedicate myself to watching a full season of 90-minute soccer games. Can't do it. Nope. Good pick.

35:34Big Cat:Us next. Yeah. We are going to go with lip fillers. I like that. Yeah. Very popular. I feel like it's one of those things. Like, it's like a lot of girls look better before they get lip fillers. No, they look. I think it looks weird. I'd say the vast majority look better before. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I've never. And it's like one of those things you get at once and you just have to keep getting them. Yeah. The good way to put it is, like, I've never looked at a girl and be like, oh, those lips are way too skinny. And then I have plenty of times looked at a girl and be like, that is way too much lip filler.

36:03So it's like, why even do it if the only thing that people are going to realize is when it's too big?

36:09Big Cat:What do you think about a man with lip filler? Strong, confident man.

36:16PFT Commenter:What about a man with lip fillers and their lips are just wrapped around a straw going into a Stanley Cup? Nah, yeah, that dude's probably gay.

36:28PFT Commenter:Zach, I feel like we should go 2-4. We can just piss off both sides.

36:36PFT Commenter:What were you looking at? We're in the middle of Mount Rushmore.

36:39Big Cat:I had the numbers list swapped. I was a previous number list to the newest number list. But we won one on those. You like 2-4?

36:45PFT Commenter:We just piss off everyone. Yeah, that's... Okay, we can go 2-4. All right, we're going to piss off pretty much, I'd say 100 % of the world right now with these next two picks. our first our next pick is going to be uh taylor swift easter eggs not taylor swift the music we understand the music understand the hype and that i for the life of me do not understand when taylor swift just like matches a couple numbers and she wears a color that she wore four years ago and everyone fucking goes full investigative journalism mode and they're like this is this oh my god she said this and then she had a boy she had a high school boyfriend named Dylan and the the the if you add up all the numbers of the letters that might equal this for her new album it's fucking stupid I think it's just a fun puzzle I I don't understand the hype about it I don't understand the hype does she like she likes the number 13 cool I think also just like liking a number that much is weird because liking Taylor Swift is a hobby that

37:42Big Cat:it's a hobby again and then it becomes like three but you know what I mean like I totally

37:48PFT Commenter:understand the hype of her music she's a great like her music is good uh i listened to some of it not by my own volitions because my kids like to listen to it the easter egg part i don't get

37:59Big Cat:i do not i don't get the hype about the music but that's that's just me what i like the music i

38:05PFT Commenter:think but you but you at least understand the hype about the music sure like i music she's a talented musician music is subjective if if someone's popular in music i'm not gonna be like oh like just because i don't like it i don't get it but the easter egg part i've never gotten

38:19Big Cat:the gap between her and like number two though is so insane like that's where it's like i it it blows my mind the that much hype i think she's she's a very talented songwriter talented singer good very good performer but i don't think that she's like the most electric performer singer to ever walk the face of the earth yeah i think that that's that's where you lose me a little bit right

38:42PFT Commenter:But you guys obviously know what I'm talking about, the Easter eggs. Yeah, no. Crazy. It's a good way of like, I don't understand it. Yeah. I don't know. And it's so popular. It's so popular. You have to decode stuff. Basically, from now until her album drops, every single thing that comes out that's even adjacent to Taylor Swift, they're going to think is a hidden message. What she was wearing on the Kelsey podcast will be broken down as a hidden message that some things are just not hidden messages. I think it's like true crime, but for asshole former boyfriends. Yeah, but there's no, you can't find the murder.

39:14Big Cat:Yeah, but you like to find them, and then you like to do podcasts about them.

39:17PFT Commenter:All right, and then this one is going to piss off another group of people, so I think we just pissed off all women. Good, I like this. Now we're going to piss off a lot of men. We don't get the hype on sports cards. We had it. We had it. Don't get it.

39:34Big Cat:Don't fucking get it. Never really got it. I liked, I had a bunch of baseball cards when I was growing up. When I was like six to ten, I collected them, and I learned like every mid-90s baseball player. That was fun. And then I just kind of stopped caring about baseball cards.

39:48PFT Commenter:Just don't get it. You just get them and then you put them in your – You hold them and then you someday sell them and then you buy more of them.

39:55Big Cat:I don't get it. I like having a binder. Yeah, when I was like 10 years old, I had a binder. Correct. Yeah, but you can't even display it. Getting them now makes no sense.

40:02PFT Commenter:Do you know what I did as a kid, which I obviously – they probably were worth nothing anyway, but I took all my good cards, good players, and I put them in a separate binder and then I lost that one. So I found my old binder, I don't know, maybe like 10 years ago and I was going through it and it was like, you remember the actual binders that had like the six sleeves? Yeah. So it was full, but there was like gaps in every single page and it was just dog shit players that I had. The whole binder was dog shit players.

40:33Big Cat:What do you think about a guy that's got a book filled with pictures of dudes, Max?

40:38PFT Commenter:That's chill. Yeah, that's chill. that's true but yeah you guys you guys agree you i don't really i don't think none of us i don't think any of us are yeah no but there are people that are oh so mad so mad but i feel good we pissed off men and women we have yeah equal opportunity pissing off right now we're gonna have the most people pissed off after this mount rush around i'm excited for it i will say that when uh zach and i were game planning this in the mega bed last night um he wanted to make sure that it was sports cards because he says pokemon cards do have utility and you can actually play the game Yep.

41:08PFT Commenter:Magic gathering. Very important distinction. One piece.

41:12Big Cat:I'll have utility. There's a game to be played. They're no different than like a nice set of tools.

41:16PFT Commenter:I wanted to say card collecting. So I guess it's sports card collecting would be our graphic. But I wanted to say just card collecting. And Zach was like, no. Pokemon, you can play. So sports card collecting is our pick. All right.

41:29Big Cat:We're going to go something in the same vein where it's like it was fun when you were a little kid. But I don't understand the hype as an adult is Marvel movies.

41:37PFT Commenter:Oh, wow. The old Marvel movie, up until Avengers, I did like Marvel movies. I thought we were going to go one, two, Kale, punch a Brandon Walker, and you were going to say wrestling. That's a great pick. That's not a bad pick. I still understand the hype of wrestling. It's not a bad pick. But that literally would have killed Brandon. I like that Hank. Good pick. Marvel movies.

42:01Big Cat:That's one I kind of understand. I like good movies, but it's the same thing as Taylor Swift. It's like, she's great. She's a huge artist. there's a lot of fans but like it's they had a million people watching a podcast like the marvel movies being like you know people like camping out for marvel or superhero movies it's like yeah i like good movies but the hype being as big as it was never never made sense to me when they're like cheesy superhero movies yeah i don't know the event like the end game like in theaters was an awesome like watching experience like it was super super cool i i kind of got into it at one point.

42:34PFT Commenter:I love this Mount Rushmore. People are going to be so mad. We're not saying it sucks.

42:38Big Cat:We just don't get the hype. Our hype level is not commensurate with the national hype level. I had it on my list. I had my honorable mentions. You do have to be dedicated to knowing everything about this to follow the entire storyline. And the new phase does suck.

42:54PFT Commenter:And if there was an alternate universe where part of my take was an all-female podcast and they did this exact Mount Rushmore, I think one-one would be sports. Yep. And we would, our entire lives okay um okay this is where we're gonna we're gonna join the health and fitness oh part part of part of uh be careful max this is always tough the first one i know the first one i'm gonna say is very popular with one person of this podcast oh and it's cold plunges yeah i used to do it all the time in college and it was a punishment who cold plunges hang cold plunge i frequently yeah go to the bathhouse i was uh so good pick i was uh we had it on our list i'm i'm building a cold punch in my house so correct i'm gonna i'm gonna try it but

43:44Big Cat:well you had to do it after practice though i like get super hot sauna and then cold plunge

43:49PFT Commenter:after it feels good it's so good i've been saying yeah but it hurts so nice no i don't know i have

43:53Big Cat:never if you get super super hot yeah you get the tingles yeah it's good like i've never good your body feels good there's great utility to it it's like shock to the system yeah all i know is that i used to do it all the time before it was like everyone said how good it is and it was like widely considered like one of the worst parts of our week when like everyone on our team had to do a cold plunge and then out of nowhere it has just become widely known as like the best thing that people are like paying to go do for luxury yeah and i just i've never i haven't done it since like the the post hype thing of cold plunges and i still look at it like i fucking used to dread doing the cold plunges and it was not enjoyable before during or after well there's

44:40PFT Commenter:one part that's enjoyable about the cold punch you don't look as fat when you get out yes that oh yeah i used to say that tight i always am like oh my god i'm not that yeah i i that was another thing with me and my friends of what that was the one thing i was like i'm gonna go tighten up get I get some really cold water and it just tightens up your body.

44:56Big Cat:I think the narrative around cold plunge has changed when super wealthy, powerful people started doing them. Yeah. And it's the same thing when they do the water fasts. Their life is so easy that they like to do something that makes them feel pain or uncomfortable. And they're like, look what I overcame today. I spent seven minutes in a cold plunge.

45:14PFT Commenter:Correct.

45:14Big Cat:And then they start talking about it. And then people that want to become super powerful are like, I'm going to start doing that because I have a growth mindset. I heard about this on a podcast. Yeah. and I think that's how they get, but it does feel good. Tank's point. If you do a sauna, then cold plunge. That's a good feel. I would not do a cold plunge without the sauna. Yeah, I agree. That's a, that's a, yeah, I've never, I've never done that. Okay. Should we go with the funny pick? The pick that made you laugh? Yeah. Yeah. It's not, it's not a good pick. It's not a good one. Well, I think the other one is just a better pick, but the other one that made me laugh is very funny.

45:49PFT Commenter:Make us laugh. There's there. make us laugh okay this one there isn't even that much hype around oh don't do it i think i think we

46:01Big Cat:got to do it i think we got it yeah toothpaste out of the yeah uh daily vitamins don't get it don't get it people are like oh yeah i gotta i before i do anything i gotta make sure i take my zinc and yep wobble this i'm like what does that do yeah like it doesn't they're not even like weight loss pills they're just the the best thing it does it makes your pee like neon orange yeah i just don't get it if we're truly talking about things that like people need to do for their daily routine that i don't get a lot of people but people some people actually get like prescribed well that's no no no i'm talking about like the daily like the multi like the daily multi some women take a vitamin every day to not have a baby is that is that a vitamin do you think like

46:45PFT Commenter:hey do you think like someone who has like cancer taking like chemo pills like that's a daily

46:51Big Cat:vitamin no no no but i think there's utility like i think that's another pick definitely with proven utility so you do that you know i don't really you i bought i've definitely gone to like i have a lot of daily vitamins oh we've all dabbled i don't take them daily but what do they do i don't understand what they actually do i don't truly talk talking about things that i don't understand don't get don't understand i think your body uses like maybe fish oil the amount of times i've bought fish oil what does fish oil mean yeah yeah i think that's i think that's good for your heart maybe great for your skin or something but even if you're like a professional bodybuilder you take that big like the ones that come in the big pouch that have 12 pills in them your body probably only uses five percent of those vitamins and the rest is just

47:34PFT Commenter:you're gonna piss it out yeah okay good pick finish uh you guys have a pick and then i'm We won't save PFT. I don't want to save PFT. No, come on. You can't go save. We won't go save PFT.

47:44Big Cat:We had such a safe pick that we could have gone. We won't go save PFT. Yeah. Got it.

47:48PFT Commenter:All right, I got the ball. We'll all go crazy. Butt stuff. Oh.

47:54Big Cat:Don't get it. I don't get that. That's where you poop. Yeah. No. I mean, it's similar to titty fucking. I don't want to get my hands. It is.

48:03PFT Commenter:Not even close. It's not titty fucking. Titty fucking. It's not where you poop.

48:09Big Cat:Don't lump that in with titty fucking. I will lump it in. You poop out of your butt. I don't want to put my fingers or anything else in there. I don't want you putting your stuff where my poop is.

48:21PFT Commenter:I agree. I feel like half of the people who. There's a perfectly good hold next door. Yeah. That's the exact argument I have. No, it's not. You don't poop out of your chest. Fair. I think like a lot of the dudes that say like, oh, I'm getting. I'm going to get anal tonight. They're just saying that because they think it's like what was established as the crazy thing. It's like, why? Just fuck the pussy, dude. Just have sex. Just put it in the pussy. You know what's really good? Sex. Yeah. Normal sex is great. It works. You an anal guy? No. Okay. That would have been so funny if you were. That would have been so good if you said yes.

48:58PFT Commenter:Yeah. It would have been like, yeah, I can only come anal.

49:07PFT Commenter:All right. I think we go with our fourth rounder that we said that it's not really. We're having fun. We're having fun. We're having fun. I mean, you know which one we were talking about? Yes. Where did it go? What number?

49:21Big Cat:Also, on butt stuff real quick, remember when ass eating was like the super popular thing? Yeah, that was insane. That's weird. I feel like that was just people trying to trick us to do it.

49:29PFT Commenter:Yeah.

49:29Big Cat:Like, do you like to put your tongue in somebody else's butthole where their poop is?

49:34PFT Commenter:I don't get it. I really don't get it. No, I don't either. I get that. I agree. I don't either. I'm sure there'll be some people who are going to tell us like we don't understand the importance of this thing. And there's all this deep shit that we don't get. And it was the first of its kind. We don't understand the hype of the Mona Lisa whatsoever. It's a fucking chick. And she's ugly. I don't get it. And people line up for hours to see it. It's a fucking painting. It's so dumb. It's so hyped. Why is it the Mona Lisa? Everyone's like, oh, it's the Mona Lisa. That's like the number one painting.

50:09PFT Commenter:It sucks. It's a shitty painting.

50:11Big Cat:She's got a smile. Dude, it's a shitty painting. I'm sorry.

50:14PFT Commenter:By the numbers paint by numbers. It's perfect. It's it's the shittiest painting. If you put that up in my house, it'd be like, take it down. She's ugly. I don't understand. And people hype it like I mean, they say like, oh, that's like the modal. Have you seen it? No, I haven't seen it. I mean, I've seen a picture of it. I've seen it. And it kind of sucks.

50:32Big Cat:You wait. No, it's like it's a tiny ass picture. We're in a giant room with like 400 other people that are trying to get close to it. Some people are crying because they're looking at it. It's crazy. Yeah, it's weird.

50:45PFT Commenter:It's so weird. And it's like, I mean, I went to Paris and I saw the line at the Louvre and I was like, no, I'm not going to wait in line because I just don't get the hype of it. What is the it's a fucking stupid ass pain. I honestly think all going waiting in line to see any like waiting in line to see. I don't know. People wait in line to see the Liberty Bell. I don't give a fuck about that. It's a fucking bell. you don't have to wait in line i hate the bean whenever whenever anyone comes to visit chicago they always want to visit the visit the bean and i yell at them every time i'm like it's a fucking bean you yell at them oh yeah i i legit i get angry i'm like we're not going that are lined

51:21Big Cat:up outside the bean no no no there's no line for the way home from work no i hate the bean i think i was just talking to one of them about how much i hate the bean i hate because it's the one thing that everyone wants to do when they visit and and it's so annoying to get to you have to go to like They're like the worst part of the city. And it just sucks. It's a fucking bean. You go look at the bean and then you turn around. It's like, all right. We're talking about the Mona Lisa still?

51:42PFT Commenter:Yeah. All right. This is when we can really piss people off because we got a lot. I hijacked that. I like the passion, Max. I just forgot. We got a lot of honorable mentions. Let's piss some people off. Okay. Who wants to start? We only have a few. Oh, really? We have so many.

51:56Big Cat:Las Vegas. Having kids. Feathered eyebrows. Okay. Pickleball. Having kids would have really pissed people off. Having kids would have made a lot of people angry.

52:06PFT Commenter:Pickleball we had as well. All right, we'll piss some people off. I mean, the royal family never got the hype, ever. Yeah. Don't get the hype on Elon Musk's rockets. Yeah. I just don't get it. They're impressive. I don't get the hype, though.

52:22Big Cat:The one that they caught, that they re-caught, that was kind of cool.

52:26PFT Commenter:Along those lines, I don't get the hype of the Cybertruck. Yeah, I agree with that. I don't get the hype. This one was Zach's last night, and I agree. it's very funny zach go ahead why don't you sit here i'll tell you the number uh eight nine oh yeah conditioner i don't get conditioner he doesn't get the hype of conditioner probably don't need it yeah for short hair i i used to think that and now that you have long hair like

52:49Big Cat:conditioner is very important yeah okay so i'm just out of the loop on that yeah okay what do

52:52PFT Commenter:you guys think about uh we were we were clowning in the mega bed last night uh we don't get the hype on scooters you look like a fucking idiot on a scooter yeah it's just marginally faster than walking yeah but it's just like you look stupid i don't know an adult man on a scooter looks dumb to me yeah it definitely looks dumb i do i i do use scooters often if i you do if i like want to get somewhere quicker than walking yeah i don't know a scooter than a bike if it's close yeah

53:16Big Cat:matcha yeah never understood that i've recently started coming out of matcha yeah i don't i i've never had it i don't understand it boba tea yeah i feel like that's not as hyped as you just like

53:45PFT Commenter:necessarily means anything uh disney world was one that did zach yeah i don't understand the

53:50Big Cat:hype of disney world it's like people go it's through like no kids uh 30 40 50 years old they They're like, we're doing one vacation a year. It's Disney World every year. This is what we're going to do. I don't understand. Yeah, I think there's - Those same people are like, Marvel movies. This is going to be the biggest night of my life. It's like year 40. Yeah. There's some people that go to Disney World and they like going there because the food's good and the accommodations are good. Okay. And they know they're going to have a good time. But then there's the Disney adults, which I think you're talking about, which is like, this is the only place I go.

54:21Big Cat:Yeah. And I love it. And it's immersive. It's transformative. And I'm just going to be a Disney guy. That's what I do. I get mad. If you get mad about Disney making changes to some of their ride, like it's ruining your childhood or whatever it is that. Yeah, that's I don't get the hype on that.

54:37PFT Commenter:Champagne. Yeah, that's a good one. I just don't think it's like the fact that champagne is the be all like we just did something awesome. Let's get a glass of champagne. There's just so many better drinks. Yeah, I just don't get the hype on it. It's fun to pop.

54:49Big Cat:Yeah, I guess. Probably the only reason. If you poured me a bottle of Cristal or a glass of Cristal and then you poured me a glass of Andre, I don't think I'd be able to tell it apart.

54:58PFT Commenter:Yeah. Or if you're like, hey, do you want a Cristal or do you want a beer or a Truly Unruly or like a mixed drink? I'd take the others all day. Seafood Towers. Oh, I like Seafood Towers. Terrible pick. Yeah, sad pick. Bad pick. I always think it's too much. I always think it's too much.

55:17Big Cat:It's too much? It's never enough. All right. You want another one? You want another one?

55:20PFT Commenter:Another one off that terrible pick. Lobster. I'm with that. I just I kind of agree on that one. I don't I don't really get the hype like lobster rolls are good, but like the actual like getting a lobster after cracking all that shit. Don't really get in the right setting.

55:36Big Cat:It's an elite though. Yeah, I like some time lobster. I would say lobster might be the weakest part of the seafood tower. Yeah, seafood towers. The seafood there is. If you're at a dinner much and someone is like, yeah, I get the seafood tower. Or you're going to be an awesome dude.

55:50PFT Commenter:I have more ones that are going to piss people off, including in this room. This one I couldn't pick because I used it last night, but mouth tape. I only used it because I thought I was getting a sore throat. I didn't want to breathe out of my mouth, but I don't get the hype of mouth tape. I like mouth tape.

56:04Big Cat:Never used it. Never will.

56:05PFT Commenter:Yeah. I use it because I think that it helps with my snoring.

56:08Big Cat:I don't think it does.

56:09PFT Commenter:Zach, why don't you say 19 and 24 because those were yours. 19 was scary movies.

56:14Big Cat:I don't understand showing up somewhere or paying to get scared. Great call. Yeah, that's a good one. I like that one. Did you get scared, Hank? Yeah. I just don't get the hype because they don't really scare me. I don't like being on that tense. Yeah. On edge the entire time for hours at a time. Yeah.

56:30PFT Commenter:All right. This one was good.

56:31Big Cat:I also don't understand the hype of the Kardashians very much.

56:33PFT Commenter:No, that wasn't the one.

56:35Big Cat:That one was a good pick. We had it on our list. Good pick, but the 24. Oh, being an adult, I don't understand the hype. I'm like being an adult. Growing up, everyone was like, I can't wait to get older, get older, get older. and I'm like why are we rushing these things like everyone just always wants to jump ahead to getting older and it's like let's just slow it down let's go day by day I don't get the hype on everyone wanting to age so quickly so when you were a kid you would get like upset that you you were getting a year older no no I would just ask the other kids like why do you guys want to be 25 so or like 20 whatever age it is they're like I can't wait to get to this age do this I'm like why don't we just get through like right now like right everyone's trying to jump so far ahead to being an adult so quick.

57:13Big Cat:I don't get it.

57:14PFT Commenter:Facts. Why this made me laugh was this was said to me last night in a mega bed in skeleton pajamas by the guy who just told us that he has his own skeleton pajamas and was embarrassed throwing out the trash because he spilled his Dr. Pepper while gaming with his friends. You're not an adult. Which is why I don't like the hype. I don't like the hype either. I'm not. It's fair. Yeah, it's more. it's not even that you didn't get the hype when you were a kid you don't get the hype right now like you don't like being an adult I don't get the hype fuck it oh David Goggins don't get the hype I just don't get the hype of listening to a podcast and being like, now I'm motivated to be alpha.

58:02Big Cat:Not a podcast, but the hype videos, a David Goggins hype video. Not for me. Fire me up. What does it make you fired up to do? Anything. Like the possibilities? Yeah. Go to the gym. Go shoot a great run of golf. Can you do one? I don't think I've ever watched one.

58:17PFT Commenter:Or in the boats.

58:18Big Cat:I can't do one.

58:20PFT Commenter:What does he say?

58:21Big Cat:He's like, I couldn't walk.

58:22PFT Commenter:Yeah.

58:23Big Cat:I said I was never going to walk again.

58:24PFT Commenter:He's just always running in like 110.

58:26Big Cat:525 miles in a row. And there's crazy music and like a bunch of, it's great.

58:30PFT Commenter:What about tasting menus? Don't get the hype. I hate them. I hate people like, I like those. Sometimes you want to be told what to eat. I want, but I just want a meal. I don't like having little bites. I want the full meal. No, but it's good because they, if you go to a really good one, they like space it out perfectly that like you're hungry enough for every bite and you never get like, it's like the perfect amount of full. I also don't get the hype of Michelin star rated restaurants. Well, that's like the same thing. Yeah, I know. Every time I go, I'm just like, I love that. I love that stuff.

59:02PFT Commenter:You're a foodie?

59:03Big Cat:Oh, yeah. Really? I've been to like five chefs tasting menus in Chicago. They're really good. Kusama is my favorite one so far.

59:12PFT Commenter:He's answering this, honestly.

59:14Big Cat:Yeah, I know. Max loves food. What can I say? Oh, got it. You're fat. No, I'm saying you're a little gourmand. Well, those are gourmand. I don't know what a gourmand is. A man with fancy taste. I like good meals. Yeah.

59:30PFT Commenter:I don't get the hype of Lucas diet. He's just going to get fat again. I don't. I don't get the hype. He is. You know, like he's 27 years old. He is what he is. He's going to get fat again.

59:42Big Cat:Yeah. I mean, if he doesn't have the entire internet shaming him all at once, he's going to get real comfortable. Yeah. He's going to be by February.

59:50PFT Commenter:He's going to gain the weight back. I'll do a milkshake. It's someone who yo-yos. Like, it's just what it happens. I don't get the hype of Ibiza but I've also never been I'm pretty sure Ibiza is fucking awesome

1:00:03Big Cat:I've never been if you're in your early 20s it is just like you party all night all the time in the most beautiful place in the world I feel like that is probably an awesome experience

1:00:15PFT Commenter:I don't get the hype of mom jeans that trend that girls are wearing those I don't get the hype it's like why would you wear jeans that are like kind of uglier looking yeah forced frumpiness yeah all right i got my two really controversial ones you want them one's a person one's a thing which one you want first person this is gonna i will change my opinion on this because i think he's very talented but as it stands right now he's been in like one movie I don't fully get the hype of Chalamet He's been in so many movies He's been in so many movies I have only seen one What other ones? I saw the Bob Dylan one, he was good Dune, part one Call Me By Your Name Never seen it Interstellar He was in Interstellar?

1:01:06PFT Commenter:What was he? He was his son Not memorable Lady Bird Also Chalamet was like he's an all-time guy. He's an all-time sports guy. He's very hyped. Jenner. I said it was controversial. We were trying very hard to get him on this show. I'd say to his head, I don't really understand the hype. And then the other one is going to get a lot of hate. I don't understand the hype of waffle fries. I think they're by far the most inferior fry. I agree with that. And I don't get when people go crazy about waffles. Steak fries is the worst fry. Who goes crazy about waffle fries? People love waffle fries. I like waffle fries.

1:01:46PFT Commenter:I like waffle fries Chef filet fries are average And people will say That they're like The best fries ever Best they're average I think they're below average

1:01:53Big Cat:Sweet potato waffle fries Oh no They're so good Why do I get to bring Sweet potato into everything Because they're great Yeah No I mean if I had to choose I would go crinkle cut And then I would probably go Shoestring Then I'd go waffle Then I'd go regular And then way Way way Dead dead last Steak fry Curly fries Curly is up there too I was waiting for you I was I forgot about curly I was ready to explode if you were going to say way, way, way. Yeah. He's great.

1:02:21PFT Commenter:I also don't get the hype of cowboy boots. They're just uncomfortable. Never worn them. Yeah.

1:02:26Big Cat:They can be useful. Yeah.

1:02:28PFT Commenter:Do you guys have any others?

1:02:30Big Cat:The one one pick I think would have been TikTok influencers or celebrity relationships. I had murder on there. Just don't understand it. What do you mean?

1:02:41PFT Commenter:Like being like, hey, why is it so bad?

1:02:42Big Cat:You've done it and you're like, I don't get it.

1:02:44PFT Commenter:No. I was so hyped up about this. It wasn't that great. Oh, like people killing people? Don't get it. Pumpkin spice. Actually, that's a pretty good pick because you're right. Why are you so mad you'd murder someone? Yeah, just like walking down the street. It's just like, bang.

1:03:00Big Cat:That's crazy. It's like, who cares? It's one game.

1:03:03PFT Commenter:Filtered selfies. He's just got a fucking stubbed toe, dude. You don't need to murder anyone. NFTs.

1:03:12Big Cat:Yeah. Okay. K-pop Yup Good pick Max had preseason football Okay I like preseason football for teams who suck Taylor Swift on New Heights Oh like that And Game of Thrones Oh

1:03:30PFT Commenter:Damn

1:03:31Big Cat:Game of Thrones is a good one Game of Thrones just isn't hot right now You can't really I fucking It ended so bad I wouldn't really like sell it to someone But But when it was going the hype was so So real I tell people that I watched two seasons and never watched it again so many times, and they just never understand. I got two shows that piss some people off. Yeah. Go for it. No, Sopranos is great. Worth every hype. The Bear. Yeah. People are turning on The Bear now. The Bear, season one, pretty good. Everything else? Yeah, no, I think this is a popular take. Okay, all right. My other is Ted Lasso.

1:04:09Big Cat:Yeah. Oh, I like Ted Lasso. I don't understand the hype. Don't understand the hype. It's so cheesy. It's too heartwarming. My cynical brain is not ready to watch a show. It's that pure. It is a perfect show to watch right before bed to get you in a good mindset before bed. So for that reason, Ted Lasso is fantastic. But for it to be like, I get what you're saying of Emmy Award, this, this, and that. Yeah. It's not that. It's just a feel good. It's basically, it's like a sitcom. It's a feel good sitcom.

1:04:37PFT Commenter:And it should be treated as such. Friends. yeah i don't get the hype on that i don't get the hype on ai i feel like at best it's gonna just like ruin everyone's life except for like a few people who will make all the money yep that's what i don't so and i don't get i don't get why anyone

1:04:56Big Cat:is like pro ai the people that are making ai are like hey we need to slow down with ai this is gonna be really bad right and it's like dude you run the company that makes ai right you you just

1:05:07PFT Commenter:stop doing right so i don't like i don't understand like anyone who's like saying this is incredible what they're doing the work they're doing with ai i feel like this could be really bad for everyone

1:05:20Big Cat:there i think their mindset is like well i have to do it because if i don't do it someone else is going to yeah yeah okay nobody do it yeah just everyone stop doing it running like running yeah You love doing that. No, miles. Miles. You just texted me two days ago. You're like, I just ran three miles. It sucks. Meme runs a lot, and then for some reason, every time he finishes a run, he's just like, I just ran this many miles.

1:05:44PFT Commenter:I did because it sucks. It's the worst. It is the worst. I think anything over a mile is overhyped.

1:05:50Big Cat:Yeah. Maybe even like 100 yards.

1:05:52PFT Commenter:Do you have any others, Zach?

1:05:53Big Cat:Running is bad. Running is very bad. Yeah. Overhyped. Something else I think that might be overhyped is I'm going to go with

1:06:01PFT Commenter:Zach had Korean barbecue. I am overhyped. I don't understand. I like food.

1:06:05Big Cat:Yeah, I do too.

1:06:05PFT Commenter:I said no because I do understand the hype because I like it. I almost took it after you said it. That would have been. That would have been. I was giving you. I was literally. That would have been fucked up. Helping you understand how to do. It's an excellent pick because cooking your own food when you're at a restaurant. Why? I don't understand it.

1:06:19Big Cat:I kind of like it better than hibachi. Definitely. Yeah. Good Korean barbecue. Well. It's so good. I don't know, man. Hibachi is so good. Well, if you go to a good Korean barbecue place, the guy will come to your table and cook it for you. Yeah. That I'm in on. I'm just out on cooking my own food at a restaurant. So they've got Korean barbecue where you don't cook it and you eat it? Yes. That's like upscale Korean barbecue. I was unaware of those places. I've only seen the ones where you craft your own meal. Remember banchan? Banchan was so good. So good. What about dressing fashionably? Might be a personal one.

1:06:53PFT Commenter:I don't know. Yeah, I think. I don't get it Oh you want to look nice Yeah I get the hype Why? I get the hype on that one I can't do it but I get the hype I wish I could do it

1:07:07Big Cat:Yeah I wish I could pull it off Like spending minutes at a time thinking about what you're going to wear that day Why? Why don't you just go into your closet when it's dark And then grab the two things that are closest to you And put those on I don't get the hype on like super expensive clothes

1:07:21PFT Commenter:Like when someone's like oh he's got like a$3 ,000 like bomber jacket on it's like what why you could go to the gap right and just get one for

1:07:29Big Cat:like forever 21 it's the same take you to salvation army yeah uh okay good mount rush war yeah i feel

1:07:36PFT Commenter:like that was good gonna piss some people off but that's fun open-ended definitely there's gonna be some upset people for sure being an adult is so funny you just hate being an adult i just i just

1:07:46Big Cat:don't get the hype on it you're like roofie but i understand being an adult i just don't understand

1:07:50PFT Commenter:why everyone wanted to rush there so quickly. Yeah. But that's what I'm saying. Like, you don't... It wasn't like you rushing there to get quickly. You're just mad that you're an adult now. I'm not mad at... Not all the aspects are the best.

1:08:02Big Cat:Yeah. What would you say is, like, the perfect age? If you were to freeze yourself at one age?

1:08:10Big Cat:I like 27. Yeah, I like 27 so far.

1:08:13PFT Commenter:What? 27 is cool. Wait, no, but what about... But you're an adult. Like, I think... 9. Russian is an adult. nine is a pretty good age i think nine might be the perfect age where you're still having figured out like girls and it's just you and your boys and you're playing doing fun shit you're not like there's like bullying doesn't really exist you're not like self-conscious that much nine i would say i think 17 17 though like you you're not legally responsible for anything yeah

1:08:42Big Cat:but there's like you can get away with fun shit like a little reckless illegal activities 19 because you're like an adult. College. That's anything out of you for at least two to three years. Yeah. Yeah. This would be a good Rushmore. Yeah. Rushmore. Best ages. Best ages.

1:10:34PFT Commenter:okay we now welcome on many time recurring guests our good good friend colleague it is coach john gruden and it's about to be football season and coach we figured we're all here down in missouri together let's get you on let's get us pumped for football uh let's start with right now this is the time do you do you have a little bit of an itch do you are you feeling an itch i saw some quotes you want to go coach in the sec is this the time of year where you're like man hell yeah man i want to get back out there this is the best time of year for your coach i mean you practice twice a day you meet all night everybody's undefeated all the players are competing for jobs you got a new nucleus of players you got new free agents draft picks it's just exciting putting your team together and taking the next step and i've had a chance to visit some really cool camps I can't wait till we kick it off.

1:11:29Big Cat:So Don at the FFCA, the Fired Football Coaches Association, I know that you guys have, you've got your film rooms, you've got your grease boards, you've got everything there. Do you have whistles? Do you still blow a whistle every now and again? No. Do you miss it? I never really used a whistle. You know, I was a quality control coach. I was the guy that had the whistle, that blew the whistle for the play to end or quit fighting or whatever, or the horn blows for the next period. I was the horn guy. But now when you become the head coach that's one of the good things you just say hey blow the whistle yeah hit the horn i like that did you ever accidentally hit the horn oh shit i've made a lot of mistakes probably yeah did you ever uh jump into a pile to stop a fight like no i never did that we did have a quarterback kind of get involved one day and i got involved there but nothing stupid no

1:12:14PFT Commenter:all right so from our perspective the fans perspective how much stock should we take in preseason both reports from camp and also the actual game should we should we be staying calm like if i'm reading something and it's like oh caleb was overwhelmed or this guy's not looking good how much how much do you actually take stock in what the reports are out of camp yeah not very much okay good no i really don't i think you you're you're in the teaching phase um you're looking at different lineups different combinations it's hard i remember the indianapolis colts might have been the worst preseason team I have ever seen.

1:12:53And Peyton Manning and the Colts would come out of the chute and win five straight. So I don't put a lot of stock in the preseason games, but you go see practice like I did. I went to Baltimore. I went to Detroit. I saw Tampa, Scrimmage, Tennessee live. You get a better indication.

1:13:10PFT Commenter:Who was the most impressive out of all the camps you've been to? Well, Baltimore and Detroit are really good teams. Baltimore is the real deal. Hardball has established a culture, a winning edge of an environment. And they have this sign that says, play like a Raven. They play their asses off, man. They prepare really good. And I love Dan Campbell, man. I don't like this guy. I love him. The Lions have exactly what you're looking for when it comes to attitude, work ethic, and Gruden grinders. This might be a dumb question. When you're taking over a program, how long would you say it takes to change the culture well you got to change the coaching staff you got to make changes on the roster you got to have your leaders on your team be the best players that's when you have a great culture yeah when you go through the locker room and your best players are the best workers and the leaders on the team those are the cultures at work is there a sign when you can feel like all right the culture's changed maybe not from a win but just like the vibe in the locker room can you feel it like hey we've done it we've we've we've changed this we've molded this in the John Gruden culture yeah I I can feel it no doubt you have a moment that you remember whether I mean our Raiders well we had to establish the culture really two different times right with the Raiders the first time there were four players in the offseason program no one wanted to even be in the building I remember Chester McLaughlin came into me says you better trade me because I'm going to kick down every block you build we had a bad thing going there but when we got rich gannon he came in with this glass eating barbed wire attitude man he was he was a really game-changing locker room playmaking presence badass and when you get that and you get another one um it starts to gravitate that way right and really that it all starts if you have the quarterback the signal caller on defense the head coach everybody's speaking and breathe in the same fire, you got a chance.

1:15:06I remember Bill Parcells said, like, change

1:15:08Big Cat:everything about the building. Change the carpets out. Did you ever do that? Did you, like, redecorate? You're like, we got to do something. Maybe get a new receptionist right up front. First person you see, have it be different. Well, to a degree. You know, I don't think that wins you games. I'm not going to argue with the great Bill Parcells, but I remember Ray Perkins, when he got the Tampa Bay job, he put the bucks on the different side of the field. And people said, don't do that. That's the sun side, man. The sun sets on the visitors. Sometimes you make changes for the sake of making changes.

1:15:38It may backfire on you, but you have to make changes, but you got to fix the roster. You got to fix the system of football that you're running and how we practice and prepare.

1:15:49Big Cat:So I want to know more about Detroit because they're fascinating to me. They lost both their coordinators this offseason. Dan Cable is an offensive guy. Let's not forget, he appears to be a defensive guy because he's jacked and he's aggressive. The guy's an offensive guy. What are they doing to replace Ben Johnson and what do you see in their offense for this year? Well, John Morton was there with Ben Johnson putting the offense in. John Morton was with us. He was with Sean Payton with the Broncos. He's a hell of a coach. Morton has been in Detroit with Dan Campbell laying the foundation of the offense that Ben Johnson called.

1:16:20What Detroit has is, like you said, Dan Campbell. A lot of people don't realize I was there. He sits in the offensive of meetings. He's calling the plays. He's all over the execution of the entire offense, run game, pass protection, the routes. But John Morton, Mark Brunel, they got Montgomery still there, Tashard Choice. All the other coaches are still there. The big thing the Lions have to address, I think, is Ragnow is gone at center. They moved Glasgow into center and they got two new guards, Mahogany at left guard and a rookie potentially at right guard. That's a challenge, man.

1:16:57PFT Commenter:Yeah, because that's the strength of their team. Yes, it is. Quarterback's a drop-back passer. You know Big Cat. Right. He ain't running around dodging and dipping and ducking. He needs a firm pocket. Taylor Decker's had injuries at left tackle. You know, the right tackle's one of the best in the business, but they have some issues on the offensive line. They have to prove that they can handle for 17 weeks. NFL MVP this year. Shit, after seeing Jamar Gibbs, man. I mean, Saquon Barkley, how are you going to not say that name? But I just love Joe Burrow. I voted for Burrow last year. You vote Burrow.

1:17:28Well, I sit there. I've been saying this is going to be the year. I met him with you at the Super Bowl. I got nervous meeting him. I felt like I was meeting, you know, one of my favorite celebrities in life. I wanted to ask for his autograph. That's how good his film is, man. I think he should have won the MVP last year, and I know everybody's going to go, ah. I mean, this guy's close to winning the triple crown, man. Pass completion percentage, yards, touchdowns, and he gets out of trouble. he is tough as hell and he's such a cool guy man if they get a good defense i'm not saying great if they get a good defense and get off to a good start which they've never done but they do open with cleveland and jacksonville i think if they win those two games look out for burrow into

1:18:09PFT Commenter:bangles and speaking of we said that you know you don't take a lot of stock in training camp but the bangles are changing it up this year they're playing joe burrow and the starters in preseason now because they've started so slow yeah which probably should help don't get burrow hurt in the preseason or there'll be a lot of changes in cincinnati i don't know how much action i'd put him through but they look great against philly i mean they went right down the field jamar chase looks good how much do you really need to see from them i hope their defense plays the whole game in a couple of these preseasons yeah they have to fix that side of the ball al golden the ex-notre dame coordinator is there that's going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds rate this take of how dumb it is someone in sports media said we should just not have training camp or preseason they should just go into week one so that way no one gets injured yeah that's really smart yeah i mean that's look you're an idiot right yeah well that's a moron let's go play the masters nobody hits a ball i mean you gotta practice this this is hard he's not even listening right now.

1:19:12Yeah, no, I, uh, who said that? Who would you think? Max said that. I'm not going to argue with Max. He'll kick my ass. He's a Super Bowl champion. Max said that. You know, I, I just, I think once you minimize reps, the repetition is the mother of learning. You know, you got a whole new nucleus of players. You got new free agents. You got to look at the Minnesota Vikings. Here's a team that won 14 games last year. If you put them on paper, they're going to have 15 10 15 new starters yeah i mean it's a it's a circus yeah minnesota and if you're just going to show up and play uh well i wouldn't be surprised based on what's happening in football does aaron rogers have anything left i never doubt a guy i grew up with bill walsh and bill walsh used to say if the guys played great before there's a chance he could play great again let's

1:19:59PFT Commenter:bring him in bill walsh that sounds like a gambler bill walsh would bring him in he would bring him Reynolds, Matt Millen. A lot of players would come in towards the end of their career and light it up one more time. I just don't know about the Steelers' offensive line, man. Yeah. I mean, they're going to move their right tackle to left tackle. The right tackle is going to be the first-round pick from two years ago. They've got a young center, a young right guard. I don't know who the running back is. And let's see. Hayward wants a new contract. T.J. Watt's not getting younger. And they've got Slay and they've got Ramsey.

1:20:33They've got some guys. do they still have that shutdown mentality? They got a lot to prove, but they got the coach. That's your guy. If they can get off to a good start, it would be huge in Pittsburgh.

1:20:46Big Cat:I always feel like with defensive players in Pittsburgh, you just put the jersey on them and they become better. They're just instantly a better player.

1:20:52PFT Commenter:Yeah. Have you seen Mike Tomlin since you were sitting next to Jersey Jerry in the gambling cave and he said Mike Tomlin has a pussy for a dick? Well, no. I try not to. when jersey jerry's around man i think i get i get a free pass i think people understand you know i tried to tell him i remember the moment i was just like jerry coach and mike tomlin are like good good friends and he just was like oh my bad i guess but he didn't really care yeah no i like the steelers i think the afc north is going to be interesting i think the bengals I love the Ravens you know and I think the Steelers with the crowd they have the veteran crowd they have if they can start off good and get some mojo going it could be interesting what about a surprise team

1:21:39Big Cat:a team that wasn't great last year but you think that you would buy stock if they're on the stock market a team on the rise I think is Carolina yeah we got them in the Super Bowl yep we're pounding the drum I got to meet Bryce Young with Barstool Sports at the Super Bowl and I did not know I liked him as much as I did and when you look at his last three or four games, five games, it was impressive. Yeah. I love the additions they've made to their team on defense. They get Brown back who was injured. They get Patrick Jones who can rush the passer from the Vikings. They added this big Brown nose tackle, Bobby Brown from the Rams.

1:22:13Their linebacking core is a concern because Josie Jewell just got hurt, but they can score. They got some guys on their offensive line that will knock your ass off, man. Yeah. They got 2 ,000-yard backs, Hubbard, and they get this kid from Dallas he had 1 ,100 yards. No one knows his name. So they got 2 ,000-yard backs, and they got some big-time receivers. What about the 49ers?

1:22:34Big Cat:I feel like we haven't talked at all about the 49ers this offseason because they've lost some guys. It's kind of a team that's evolving from the teams that we saw making it, you know, deep runs in the playoffs for the past five years. But would you still think that they're going to be a contender? They will. They'll be a contender because Purdy, even though he's polarizing to some people, the guy makes plays, man. He's tough as hell. They got him signed for the long term. They got to get Iook back, I think. Yeah. You know, Trent Williams has to be healthy. McCaffrey. I mean, their best players all get hurt at the same time.

1:23:05Now, they lost seven out of eight games. Their defense wasn't very good last year. Right. And getting those kids that they drafted, the big defensive lineman from Georgia in the first round should be a start. Getting Salah back as the defensive coordinator. We'll see. But they lost Sofunga. They lose Dre Greenlaw. They're in transition a little bit on defense.

1:23:27Big Cat:I also want to talk to you about the Rams in that division. So the Rams are really interesting to me because I feel like they played great football at the end of the season last year. They give the Eagles probably the best test that they had in the playoffs.

1:23:37PFT Commenter:They're on a pinky team. Yeah, they're on a pinky team.

1:23:40Big Cat:And they seem to be primed and ready to go. Obviously, McVay is a great coach. But now Matt Stafford is spending all of his time in a hyperbaric chamber, not getting on the field. And I feel like, obviously, without him, they're not going to be able to do that much this year. Have you ever gone into a situation where in training camp you've got your quarterback and he just hasn't taken a single rep because of injury concerns, and then you roll him out there and you say, okay, we're good? No, you just said it. I mean, Stafford, he's the key to all the coaches. I mean, you're a great coach when Matt Stafford's healthy.

1:24:10Yeah. I saw the Rams without Stafford a couple years ago. They're last in the league on third down. They can't make a yard. Yeah. The Rams are not very good at all without Stafford. I mean, let's just face it. That guy's a hell of a talent throwing the ball. That's a real concern, man. Real concern. No one really knows the exact nature of his health, but he's not even going through individual drills yet.

1:24:31Big Cat:Did you see the chamber they got him staying in? No, I don't pay attention. No, it's bad. He's like an egoistic. It's like a glass coffin. Are you going to go with Stetson Bennett? I mean, no disrespect. No, Jimmy G.

1:24:40PFT Commenter:Vontae Adams got Jimmy G again thrown. There you go. They're not going to be the same without Matt Stafford. He's that good. He is awesome, man. There's a step down, big step down if he's not there. Do I have to be concerned at all about Caleb Williams? Well. Did you see anything you liked last year? I saw some things I liked, saw some things I didn't like. I liked it. I mean, his deep ball passing, if you just look at the statistics, I've really gotten into these PFF stats. His deep ball accuracy, his overall accuracy was not good. Yeah. His accuracy was not good. The clock in his head has to speed up, man.

1:25:17He held the ball too long at Oklahoma. He held it too long at Southern County. He's holding it too long now. How do you coach that? Hard. That's what Ben Johnson is doing, yeah. Ben Johnson is going to be tough on this kid. Now, Caleb's got a lot of talent, quick arm. It's a brand new system. He's going to be under the center. He hasn't been under the center very much in his life. And the rhythm of playing quarterback is completely different. Ben Johnson wants to run the ball from underneath the center, and it's going to set up some wicked play-action passes, man. And that's where the chunk plays are.

1:25:51I think that's what Ben wants to do. So Caleb's going to have to learn some new fundamentals, some new rhythm of the position, but he's got to come through. This guy's got a lot of pressure on him. I hope Bear fans are a little bit patient early, but he has to come through, man. The Bears have got to have great play from the quarterback in the division area.

1:26:09PFT Commenter:Yeah, what did you think when the story came out that there were weeks last year where he was basically watching film by himself with no offensive coordinator, no guy like showing him what to do, that he was basically like, Is that coaching malpractice when you see that story? That's why you have vomit bags on the airplane. You know what I mean? You want to puke when you hear stuff like that. That's sickening. If there's any truth to that, that's the worst thing I've ever heard. I mean, I've heard comments out of his book that are alarming and disappointing. I don't know what to read, what to believe, and all that stuff.

1:26:44I just know this. Ben Johnson runs a very sophisticated offense, man. They're going to be aggressive. They're going to go for it on fourth down. This guy uses a lot of creative gadget plays. They asked the quarterback to do a lot at the line of scrimmage, fixing problems, communicating problems. I'm anxious to see it. I was disappointed he didn't play against Miami. He was down there with the sunglasses on having a good time. I thought Badgett looked great.

1:27:10PFT Commenter:I really did. Yeah, the story is that they did a pretty intense scrimmage like two days before. He got a bunch of reps there. But I agree. I wish you'd played. I mean, why not? You're a young quarterback. Any opportunity is good practice. I think just to jog out there in a new system with a new play caller in your ear, I think you might want to get some reps at the beginning of a game, but he has a lot to prove. He definitely has the talent to back it up. He's got a very interesting supporting cast, too. I mean, the two tight ends. I haven't seen the young tight end from Michigan yet. Have you?

1:27:44PFT Commenter:Yeah, Colson Loveland. Yeah, no, he had a nice catch early in the first preseason game. Do you like also Ben Johnson's attention and detail? People think that he repainted the Bears end zones for the first time in a long time because it can confuse the opponents when you have the Navy on Navy. You like that? I haven't thought that hard about it, but I like that. So what are the Navy on Navy? Like they basically were showing some of the plays where like the Lions, you know, like the goalpost is the Honolulu blue. The end zones are Honolulu blue. It's hard to see the opposing team. So they repainted the Bears.

1:28:18Big Cat:They might not know where to go to score a touchdown.

1:28:20PFT Commenter:No, I'm saying when they're looking downfield, the jerseys blend in with the end zone. Got it. The quarterback doesn't see the defenders. I like that. Yeah. Try everything. It might be a little bit of a like – I have also bought into this hype of like there was a story that Caleb's headset went out and Ben Johnson gave him like a talking to about how you have to have like four plays you love. Theory might be that he actually took the headset out and he's trying to overload him with stuff. We might be in that phase where like every mistake the Bears make, we're like, that's just Ben Johnson being a genius.

1:28:53PFT Commenter:I'll admit that. This one's brought to you by TickPick. Ever actually read a ticket receipt? Service fee? Processing fee? Convenience fee? Convenient for who?

1:29:43Big Cat:So when it comes to coaches that are coaching like rookie quarterbacks, last year, Sean Payton, Bo Nix. Sean Payton's got like a very, I don't know if it's complicated, but there's a lot of words in his offense, right? When he's getting a play call in. You got to memorize like 14 words in a row. Do you dump things down for a rookie quarterback? Or are you like, hey, we're going to do it my way. You have to be able to learn this stuff. And you're going to struggle until you get there. But when you get there, you'll be fine. Well, that's a great question. I think if you have a lot of confidence in your staff and your teaching ability, and you're bringing in some of these quarterbacks, they're sharp guys.

1:30:18It's not like this is rocket scientists. Now, Peyton does a lot with verbiage. There's no question. I remember when Derek Carr went to New Orleans, they kept Sean's verbiage. I sat in several meetings, and it's that old Bill Parcell stuff. A lot of the words with the other play they're calling two at a time, it gets to be more than 14. It might be 30 words you've got to say. But it all makes sense. It's all teachable. Bo Nix had no problem with it. Harvey, the running back that I'm hearing about up there in camp right now, has had no problem learning it. If you're a great teacher and you've got guys that are great students, you can do a lot on offense, man.

1:30:54And that's what Sean Payton's looking for.

1:30:56Big Cat:Did you have to evolve your method of teaching? Did you have to become – you had to learn at some point, like, hey, I know what I'm talking about offensively, but I need to be able to teach these guys how to do what I want them to do and make it easier that way. Did you change anything to make yourself a better educator? Well, I tried. I mean, my mom was a school teacher. I tried to keep it interesting, tried to install it a very specific way where we could package plays together so it was teachable. But I let everybody know from the very beginning, we're going to have a lot of offense. We're going to have different personnel groupings, two tight insets, three tight insets, no tight insets, single back, two back, no back, up-tempo, different speeds.

1:31:34And if you can't keep up, you won't be here. And the players respond to that. I think they love it. And that's how I would always do it. I think when you dumb it down, I think you're playing into the defense's hands. This is a hard league. It's a long season. And I think being able to attack a specific defense each week with different things that they haven't been able to prepare for makes you better. How were you as a student? I was an average student. but when it was coming to football i can still remember a lot of the players statistics plays i've called i have a photographic memory when it comes to what i like right you know i can remember what i like some of the i knew in ninth grade i'm not going to use this trigonometry what the hell am i doing yeah what is the important of this class i'm sitting in there going i am never going

1:32:21PFT Commenter:to need this was there a year because i i think it was i think it was maybe seventh or eighth grade that i was like yeah this math thing isn't for me it like hit me where i was like i'm never going to be good at this and it's like i gotta figure out a different way i was great with numbers i can count to 100 by threes and fours and sixes as fast as anybody i have a very good mind when it comes to normal mathematics but once you started getting into algebra and calculus yeah oh i'm like i've never been in the same room as calculus i have never been calculus i have no interest in it i just lost it wait do sixes to 100 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60 66 72 78 84 90 96 102 that was really good you know what i love the threes and the sixes that's you

1:33:07Big Cat:that's just football yeah yeah you're just keeping score on a seven boy that's that's you naturally learn yeah yeah that's gravitate towards yeah probably pretty much yeah i got uh i got rapid

1:33:17PFT Commenter:fire for you i just want like a one sentence answer i'm gonna i'm gonna name some places and you tell me just you're what first comes to mind okay all right norman oklahoma tornadoes and sooners okay auburn alabama man if you like any of these places you can say i do like auburn i like i like auburn alabama i've been there a few times i would say um it's a it's a hardcore football town okay uh gainesville florida israel florida home of the national champion Florida Gator basketball team and a really cool place okay let's see

1:34:04Big Cat:there's a cool town in Arkansas isn't there you guys are getting that something here I love Fayetteville Arkansas yeah I love it what about LA LA? Los Angeles?

1:34:19PFT Commenter:yeah where USC is I'm not a fan

1:34:22Big Cat:not right now

1:34:23PFT Commenter:I think Gainesville was the winner there

1:34:25Big Cat:what about Madison

1:34:28PFT Commenter:he loved it when we went up there you like Madison? there's things called analogies I really like to use the analogy of dreams and nightmare I want everybody to know at Georgia you're the measuring stick you're a tombstone game you go to Georgia and win between the hedges we'll put 14 stickers on your helmet man we're gonna give you a raise man you're a head coach you go into georgia and win you can get any job in the country so you have to understand when you play at a place like georgia you better be at your best because the other team they're coming in there with the dreams man of knocking you off and taking what you have you got to put your foot on their throat and their dreams yeah not today man but that was the analogy i was creating you see that's all it was the uh when we went up to Madison for a spring practice, there was a moment when I was walking you around town.

1:35:24PFT Commenter:We were on State Street. There was a moment where we both looked at each other's eyes and were just like, should we just get fucked up today? And it almost happened because there was the fight. It was a beautiful, sunny day, spring day, like crisp, 65 degrees. We almost just found the nearest beer pong game and just like, fuck it. Let's just stay here. You go watch the spring practice, right? You're right there. The pads are popping. God, you're right, man. There's nothing like some of these Big Ten, SEC towns. They're all football. I know. It's just freaking awesome, man. And it's that time of year, man.

1:35:58PFT Commenter:What about Malisek saw it? He was also Malisek. I think Malisek wants you to get back into coaching. Because when we went up to Madison, the other story was we get to the spring practice. And it was like we're standing on the sideline. And I'm talking to someone. And I look back to my right to see if Gruden's next to me. He's just in the huddle. You just were in the huddle, like had a play sheet. You just gravitate towards the huddle. Any group of dudes, you're ready to just pump up in a huddle. And then Malisek was like, what's this guy's job? It was Fickle's right-hand man. I was like, yeah, he does everything for Fickle.

1:36:32PFT Commenter:He's like, oh. And the light bulb went off, and he's like, that could be me. That could be me at a big-time college campus. It's just exciting to be back out on the field. This is what Malisek, he loves to compete, man. We went up to Jacksonville to watch the Jaguars. I really wanted to see Liam Cohen, what he's doing, Travis Hunter, the Heisman Trophy. We talked about him a lot. Listen, we love them. So I watched this carefully. And before practice, he's over on this field with their secondary coach. And I'm looking at it. And that's Ron Milas, my old secondary coach, coaching Travis Henry on defense.

1:37:08Then the horn blows, they stretch. Then the horn blows, they go to their first period of practice. And he's with Edgar Bennett, their receiver coach, my old receiver coach. So I was telling my old coaches, I said, you guys got more pressure on you guys than anybody in the league to make this kid Henry or Hunter. He's got to come in and have a great year.

1:37:25Big Cat:Yeah. Malisek could be your Jordan, Jordan Holloway. Yeah. Like Bill Belichick. He just handled everything. Screw everything up for you big time. Would you hire him?

1:37:36PFT Commenter:Would you hire Malisek as you write him in if you took another coaching job? He'd be one of the first guys I hire. Or what's the percentage you coach again? I wasn't prepared for this big cat I got a great job right now I don't want you to selfishly I want to work with you forever I enjoy going to high school Malisek and I we're trying to help keep high school football alive down in Chicago and Tampa we're supporting some of these high schools but I don't know what I want to do yet I like living in Tampa I'm helping a lot of guys privately on the side and i do know i could help a team and uh hopefully one of these days i get another shot to do it yeah how many uh he looked like he was closing the door and then he's like just leave it a little open how many boxes did you say that you got you know what we have opened one a day for 155 five days 170 days jesus what's your favorite box i don't go there because they're all great okay you know i love all my bad ones you love all your problem is you see is it's it's it's a box that someone took the time to put together send to you and you got to open it you know but you don't want to open three a day and not give the team their day in the sun i mean we we take a lot

1:38:57Big Cat:of interest in these teams are there some boxes that you see and you're like i should i i'll open this one gently delicately yeah i keep waiting for a box of rocks or you know something to jump

1:39:06PFT Commenter:out of there it's not so pleasant but are there some of your like you get deep in the box you're aggressively getting into the box yeah some of these boxes they fire me up

1:39:18start digging into that start digging into that tennessee box that notre dame box oh yeah i mean i almost jumped in a north carolina state box these boxes are unbelievable but you're right you should like what if someone what if someone

1:39:35PFT Commenter:did like a trick box you might want to start wearing protection before you get in the box well you know for christmas for christmas where that box has been for christmas my brothers and i we always gave foolers so you know you'd get a box and be a uh you'd open it up and there might be a rock or some dirty laundry in there i keep waiting for one of those boxes yeah the foolers

1:39:55Big Cat:uh i got a question for you about our co-worker mike katik so when you first met katik you just crawled right up his butt you were just like get down your three-point stance let's see what that's Oh, I was right about Kadic from the very beginning. I see him doing pass sets on Bourbon Street backwards with his shirt off. Yeah. You know, you keep him in his wheelhouse. That guy's spectacular. But I'm most proud of my man, Zach. Yeah. All right. Because we discovered Zach. I should say Dave Portnoy discovered Zach and Jake discovered Zach.

1:40:26PFT Commenter:Yeah. Zach, get over here. Get over here, Zach. So for people who don't know, the way we found Zach is he applied for Coach Gruden's assistant position. Everyone, our listeners know Zach very well by now. Let's just say he was nervous, very nervous, had some self-miscommunication problems. That's his quote. But he got a second shot during March Madness. He's been a star since. Do you see him and you're like, man, that's the one that got away? Because I would feel that way if I were you. Well, we feel like our bowl was too small for a superstar like Zach. I mean, we just – Jake and I, we do football stuff, and we kind of stay in our lane, but we knew Zach had presence.

1:41:11I mean, Zach needs his own show, his own agent. Zach needs a lot of real estate, and I'm just so proud and happy for you, man. I appreciate all the kind words, Coach.

1:41:22Big Cat:I need none of those things whatsoever. So I was just very grateful to even interview for you for the position. Thank you so much for the kind words.

1:41:29PFT Commenter:If you're – let's say you're at the combine and you're talking to a guy and the guy says, hey, you know what, coach? I got to be honest with you. I'm not much of an intercourse guy. Good thing or bad thing? That's not a question. I can win. That's the one thing I've learned. Yeah, you're smart. You know – Well, you didn't fully learn it because we just did five minutes on boxes. I would say as long as you can play the position, I would love to have you on. Okay, because Zach is a self-proclaimed not much of an intercourse guy. Depends on the day. Maybe not all the time.

1:42:06Big Cat:Would it have changed your mind about Zach if you had known he had an incredible eagle tattoo across his chest? A business tat. He's got a massive one. It's an eagle tat? Yeah. Yeah, there's an eagle tattoo. All the way across.

1:42:19PFT Commenter:You want to show him? You're going to take my shirt off? Yeah, dump him out. Just flash them.

1:42:24Big Cat:It's another great.

1:42:28We all got a couple tattoos.

1:42:30PFT Commenter:He always says that. I mean, it is in this room, but not all rooms. You can be like, we all got a couple tattoos. And I apologize for the build there.

1:42:39Big Cat:I got to get back in the gym. That's on me. Well, I've heard you're eating a lot of chicken McNuggets. I mean, diet's bad, coach.

1:42:46PFT Commenter:Diet's so bad. Is it bad? It is. I got to reel it in. Zach, do you have a question about football? Maybe the Bucs. So what are we thinking about the Bucs odds this year, Coach? Love the Bucs. Looking good? Yep. We saw them the other day scrimmage the Tennessee Titans. I worry about the first couple games because Tristan Wirfs is going to be out. He's a game changer, man. He's good. But I saw their first-round pick from Ohio State. I did not know he was built like that. Yeah. They're going to be really good. They're going to score on offense. I think Hassan Redick comes in to rush the passer. I love the addition of these two young corners.

1:43:21Morrison from Notre Dame, Parrish. I like the Bucs to easily win the South, and I think they're going to the NFC Championship game. Don't forget, they kicked Philadelphia's ass last year. Yeah. 33-16. I mean, they kicked their butt, and they played the Eagles early this year. This is a good team. Four straight division titles they've won, and I think they're going to be better this year.

1:43:41Big Cat:So what about the rookie quarterbacks this year? Is there one that you're most intrigued by, one that you say, I think I like, I don't know, Jackson Dart? Well, Jake and I, you know, we love Will Howard. He got hurt in Pittsburgh in practice, but we loved him. We were shocked he went in the sixth round. And we like Jackson Dart. He is one tough dude, man. I called him like the evil Knievel of quarterbacks. I like that. We really like those two guys. Quinn Ewers got off to a tough start with Miami, but Howard was a guy. I was really surprised slipped until the sixth round. I like him a lot. And what about some of the second-year guys?

1:44:17Big Cat:If you were to take – let's just go with Drake May, Michael Penix, Bo Nix. I'm most excited to see Penix. You know, he played good last year. I know they went one and two in his three starts, but they lost those two games in overtime. I think they scored 40 points against Carolina in one of those losses. He has a beautiful passing stroke. He's going to play indoors. Perfect environment in Atlanta. They got some firepower outside. I think Raheem's got the defense solved a little bit. They got some guys now. I like Pennix, and I love Bijan running the rock. I think Atlanta's dangerous.

1:44:53PFT Commenter:I know that – I think he told us this story, but did you meet with Kirk Cousins at all this offseason? We always get together. So does he still have a little juice left? because that feels like a big domino that could potentially fall for a team that maybe has some aspirations for a playoff run and they lose a quarterback early. That's a guy who, like, I think he's still got, especially, I think the Achilles thing, for a guy his age, that's going to take a year. And I think last year was the year, and I think he's probably got something left. Yeah, there's no doubt he has something left. And you're right about the Achilles.

1:45:25He wasn't ready to go. He had no movement back there. and they were the fewest, they took the fewest play action pass attempts in the league last year. I mean, Cousins comes from Minnesota. They led the league. That was his game. So I think the offense was different for him. The injury was a problem. I think he lost a little bit of his confidence because of his footwork, his setups. He couldn't finish throws. But I think you're right. I think anybody gets injured, God forbid, anything bad happens to any of these teams. they have a nice chip there but the contract is going to be a very sophisticated problem because that's guaranteed money you're talking about 42 million dollars guaranteed and i don't i wouldn't take a pay cut if they said hey we'll trade you if you take a 20 million dollar cut

1:46:09Big Cat:yeah i don't think that's happening yeah uh you were talking about the vikings there i'm interested to know how you would break it down for like a six-year-old because we always say you go go have a cup of coffee with kevin o 'connell he'll make you a better quarterback He'll get you back in the game. I feel that way about Daniel Jones. He spent, I don't know, two months there last year. I'm like, Daniel Jones might be fixed. Kevin O 'Connell might have fixed him. What is it about the Vikings and Kevin O 'Connell that makes it so easy for a quarterback? I wouldn't go that far with Daniel Jones, but I do like Daniel Jones.

1:46:42I would think this, that the Vikings are built to throw the ball. They've got great receivers, arguably the best receiver in a game. And I think Addison is a top-10 receiver. He's a hell of a player. they have to run the ball. They got their asses kicked the last two games, 31-9 to Detroit with all the marbles on the table. Then they go to the playoffs and they get sacked nine times. They lose 27-9. They really got their butt kicked. So they've gone into free agency and made wholesale changes. I think they want to run the ball. They bring in Jordan Mason from the 49ers with Aaron Jones. I think they're 30th in the league two years in a row.

1:47:21Last year, I think they were 19th in running the ball. But I think they got to run the ball. They got to improve in short yardage, third and one, fourth and one. I think they got to get some better time of possession. I love O 'Connell's passing game. But I think they got to find ways to get not only in the playoffs, they got to move forward, man. And I don't know McCarthy. I know he's an athletic guy. I'm anxious to see it because I didn't see a whole lot of him at Michigan really throwing the ball like the Vikings are known to throw it. Right.

1:47:49PFT Commenter:Yeah. Are we buying anything? I'm not going to discount the Chiefs. They're very, very good. They're going to probably win the AFC West. Do you think this is the year, though, that maybe not them taking a step back, but the pack kind of catching up with them? Because, look, there's only been one team that's ever gone to four straight Super Bowls. That was the Buffalo Bills in the 90s. It's hard. That's a lot of football they've been playing. There's a lot of getting back up on the mountain. Do you think maybe this is a year it's someone else's year in the AFC? I like Denver in the AFC West. I mean, I think Gittin' Hufanga and Dre Greenlaw, they had 60-plus sacks last year on defense.

1:48:25I love this R.J. Harvey. I'm hearing good things about Bryant, this young receiver. They've got a lot of continuity, year two or three of Peyton's system. I think they're pretty good. I think it all depends really on the Chiefs' offensive line. You know, the kid Simmons, I believe his name is, they took in the first round. Will he be ready to go? I mean, the offensive line, they had Tooney playing left tackle. Yeah. That's tough sledding, man. Yeah. So we'll see if the offensive line has improved. How healthy are the receivers? You know, Rice was hurt last year. He's a hell of a receiver. Is he healthy?

1:49:01Worthy will be better this year. I saw you had Taylor Swift on your show. What was Taylor saying?

1:49:08Big Cat:Taylor was saying that Taylor is mostly a big fan of the Ryan Russillo podcast. Yeah. And more of an NBA fan. Like weightlifting. Taylor Swift was, yeah, NBA. Both talk. Yeah. Midlife crisis talk. Yeah. That's kind of what Taylor Swift is into. This isn't so much a question, and as your attorney, I advise you not to answer it. I just want to say congratulations. Oh, well.

1:49:33PFT Commenter:Yes.

1:49:33Big Cat:Yeah. You don't have to say anything. Just congratulations.

1:49:36PFT Commenter:Yeah.

1:49:36Big Cat:Good stuff. Good stuff. We're rooting for you. We love you. I would love to see you argue at the Supreme Court.

1:49:42PFT Commenter:Mm-hmm. Can we come?

1:49:43Big Cat:If it gets to that point. Painter chest. Can we come? Big foam fingers. Let's get back to Zach.

1:49:49PFT Commenter:We get the fucking stadium pulse going for you. Nice work. Yeah. That's my question. I got one last question. Outshine is the number one frozen fruit bar brand in America. And once you try them, it's easy to see why. Their fruit bars and mini fruit pops are made with real fruit or fruit juice using simple ingredients you can pronounce. That means no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial colors or flavors. Outshine bars are gluten-free and even a good source of vitamin C. And the flavor lineup, it's stacked. We're talking strawberry, mango, coconut, watermelon, pineapple, cherry. You name it, there's something for whatever you're craving.

1:50:26You've got classic fruit bars, mini fruit pops, and fruit blends that swirl multiple flavors together. Think pina colada, cherry limeade, and more. Find your new favorite refreshing snack, Outshine, at retailers nationwide.

1:50:40PFT Commenter:Zach, how awkward have you felt just still sitting there? I should have got up. No, you shouldn't have. No. No. Definitely not. No? No, you're good. I even wear glasses like Zach now. Look at that.

1:50:55Big Cat:They look great, Coach.

1:50:56PFT Commenter:Those glasses do look great. That was a great fist bump. Yeah. You got any other questions for Coach? How do you think Zach would have survived in the FSCA? I don't know. Zach will survive anywhere. That's true. He can adapt. I mean, for him to go to Chicago, okay, and explode onto the scene. He's got Jaden Daniels' Rookie of the Year-like credentials right now. I mean, in the history of Barstool, who's come on the set? He's a star. And been more likable than Zach. He's the best. I mean, this guy. I heard the girls. I mean, I saw an interview with them. They were asking them, I mean, a lot of stuff, man.

1:51:34I mean.

1:51:35PFT Commenter:No, I'm just appreciative to be a part of the program, having to be on the team coach. You might have to show them how to get into a box. I could do that. I might send Zach a box. Yeah. Just give him some practice. I think it's a great balance, you know, having Zach with you guys up there. I think the future is very bright. Well, we're excited for the football season. We're excited to have you in Chicago a bunch of times, draw up some plays, eat some ice cream. You haven't gotten to the soft serve machine yet. No. Yeah, Zach will get you squared away with some ice cream. Jacob and I would love to serve you some soft serve ice cream.

1:52:15Big Cat:We got two flavors for you, Coach, and some toppings. Oh, that's right. Yeah. He'll give you some cream. Yeah. I love coming up to Chicago. I want to come up there and go to that. What the hell is the name of that place? A steakhouse. What's the name of that one? Bavette's. Bavette's really good. It's my favorite place I've ever been, man.

1:52:33PFT Commenter:Yep. Bavette's is great. I feel like I'm in Chicago. Yeah. You know what I mean? Good stuff. Yeah. All right, Coach. Football's back. We're excited to see you all season, and you're the best. Do you have an official Super Bowl pick? Well, I do. I love the two bays in the NFC. I love Tampa Bay, not because I'm from there. I really think they could be big time. I love the Green Bay Packers, man. I think they have a lot of depth. I love the receiver they drafted. I love their feature back because he's my guy. And Aaron Rodgers was 27 when he won his Super Bowl. Favre was 27 when he won his Super Bowl.

1:53:11Jordan Love's 32. And my guy Jordan Love's going to be 27 in a couple weeks. I think they have the defense. They kicker McManus was 20 for 21. They're a hard team to beat on the road in Lambeau late in the year. I like the Packers, man.

1:53:25PFT Commenter:Okay, and AFC? AFC, I'm not going to sway away from the Chiefs just because of the coach and the quarterback. They're that good. And their defense is still solid. But beware, beware of the Denver Broncos in the West. Yeah. And I do love the Ravens. Let me say this. The Ravens and the Bills, we all know the Ravens, Bills, and Chiefs are the favorites. And until Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen or Mahomes, you know, aren't the quarterback, it's got to be Joe Burrow. It's got to be, you got to keep those five teams in the mix. Yeah. Yeah. It's stacked in the NFC. You know, it's kind of like that to me is the game.

1:54:00If those five quarterbacks are healthy, they're coming to your house playoff time.

1:54:05PFT Commenter:Yeah. All right. Thanks, Coach. You're the best. Thank you for Zach. Yes, thank you for Zach. Zach, great to see you. One that got away. Great to see you, too, man. I'm happy for you, man. Appreciate that, Coach. Thank you. We had a help.

1:54:18Big Cat:On August 21st. We have a story.

1:54:21PFT Commenter:Mutiny arrives on the big screen.

1:54:23Big Cat:Who are you? It is. Trust me.

1:54:25PFT Commenter:Jason Statham stars in the action movie to end your summer. What do you want? Vengeance. At Raising Cane's, we focus on making the most crepeable chicken finger meals, getting them right every time. That's why we hand batter every chicken finger, mix every cane sauce, butter every Texas toast, stir every slaw, salt every fry, squeeze every lemon, and brew every ounce. We do this inside every Raising Cane's, every day. Because when you do it right, you can taste it in every bite. Raising Cane's chicken fingers One love Okay let's get to Fire Fest of the week Henry

1:55:08Big Cat:Again shout out Big Cedar This was a lovely week with the boys

1:55:12PFT Commenter:You got no Fire Fest

1:55:13Big Cat:Always enjoys being out here Not really I mean the only Fire Fest Is when I thought I was about to get bit by a rattlesnake And literally shit my pants

1:55:19PFT Commenter:Copperheads

1:55:20Big Cat:I was looking for a ball And a guy came up And I was finding other balls And a guy came up and was like Be careful for rattlesnakes Look at this picture one we found in that spot yesterday. And I had to like run through 20 yards. I've never been more scared. I hate snakes. It's beautiful wildlife. They're more afraid of you than you are of them.

1:55:38PFT Commenter:That's also like you don't have to justify. Well, I'm scared of regular snakes. Being like I hate snakes. Everyone should hate snakes. Yeah. The only people who don't hate snakes are weirdos. Snake people cannot be trusted. It's literally like the first story in the Bible. Don't trust snakes.

1:55:58Big Cat:Yeah. It's the devil. Don't bite the apple. Although if you're a true believer, at which you are, we know that from Mount Rushmore seasons here, if they bite you, you won't get sick. Is that true? Yeah.

1:56:08PFT Commenter:No, yeah. You'll just have to take your rib out of your stomach and then make a woman and then fuck her.

1:56:13Big Cat:Pretty hot. Fellas. Wasn't thinking about that. Cain and Abel and Seth.

1:56:17PFT Commenter:People forget about Seth.

1:56:29Big Cat:I don't know if it's just where we are. Honest, unbelievable golf course. But I feel like they built the entire state of Missouri out of a Bass Pro Shop.

1:56:37PFT Commenter:yeah i think it's where we are because big cedar uh is built by the owners of bass pro shop yes

1:56:42Big Cat:probably that probably has something to do with even everywhere i look there's bass pro shop it's crazy even on the drive-in though like all the stuff kind of seemed bass pro shop in the same

1:56:52PFT Commenter:cinematic universe yeah it's cool i mean the the like landscape here is awesome the trees the rocks everything it's fucking cool here uh okay i guess the other one i mean it's more it's shane's fire

1:57:04Big Cat:that's more than me it kind of happened there you know we were driving through cliffs to get back to the clubhouse i had my sunglasses on and i drove through a dark uh like cave basically and i was just one pitch black my sunglasses were on i just crashed on a wall what it was yeah it was it was you know it was that it was that cave on the turn no i know and i had my sunglasses on and i was like what the fuck and then it's like it wasn't i wasn't going too fast but that was

1:57:29PFT Commenter:when shane was on the back of the of my cart because i had yans in the uh yeah shane had to

1:57:34Big Cat:it was basically a mile yeah up a cliff yeah yeah shane on the back of your cart dude shane is a

1:57:41PFT Commenter:fucking baller he's he was he was a king with me this week he's he's the man all this golf cart

1:57:47Big Cat:shit makes me realize that's it's a great pick for mount rushmore things you look forward to when you get old just driving golf carts everywhere yeah it is the best way to travel

1:57:55PFT Commenter:The only time Shane and I had a hiccup was when he got out of the cart to fart, which was a respectful move. Like, shout out Shane. Team guy. Didn't want to fart in the golf cart, but he farted behind the golf cart, and the wind quite literally, like, picked it up and just stuck it right up my nose. But that wasn't his fault.

1:58:14Big Cat:Thought that counts.

1:58:15PFT Commenter:Yeah. I took a wrong turn at some point today on a golf cart, and it ended up—I was just basing on a highway.

1:58:24i started driving that way and memes i mean actually zach yeah you were there yes i was and the golf cart guy was like hey and i guess i didn't hear him he was like you're going the wrong way and but then you guys followed me that way because the other guy because in the next guy

1:58:38Big Cat:came in was like all right you can't take the the construction where you got to go this way and then it's like speed limit 35 carts going like nine tops yeah i i was i i left it at highway it It sounded like a better story, but yeah, it was a 35. No, I like that.

1:58:51PFT Commenter:Got to step on Max's story there. Oh, my bad, Max.

1:58:54Big Cat:It's okay. That was bad recalling me. Max's story wasn't bad. We watched guys' grocery games before bed last night. That was awesome. That was good bonding right there. That is good bonding. Did you mega bed? We did not mega bed. You got to have a plan. These people are just like, we're going to get ingredients and figure it out. You've never watched guys' grocery games? I've never seen it. Oh, it's awesome. I love Guy Fieri too You would love Triple G Yeah Okay It was like I went to the bathroom And Max came back I was like This is a great episode Because it was a Champions It was like Former Champions Facing off Oh shit Best on best Yeah he's like You're in for one We got a great episode coming Is that like Supermarket Sweep Is it the same show Similar I don't know that one But I do know It's got way more flavor Yeah Oh yeah Spice it up Catchphrase Yeah it's an entire Reality cooking game show inside of a grocery store that also has a kitchen.

1:59:50Oh, that's awesome. So Guy gives them like a prompt and he's like, three, two, one, go. And then they have to go and go throughout the grocery store, pick out everything that they need, and then they go cook it.

2:00:01Big Cat:It also sounds like a very easy job for Guy Fieri. Like a very easy show for him to take. Well, yeah, the hard part is being Guy Fieri. Yeah. Which he's got, he mastered. No one else can do it. That's awesome. Good for Guy. Yeah.

2:00:11PFT Commenter:There'll never be another guy. No. Absolutely not. No, yeah. His sons, Hunter and Arrow. What is his other son's name? Arrow sounds good. Yeah, I don't know. Blaze? I don't know what his other son's name is. But, yeah, they'll be cool, but they won't be guy. Yeah. It feels like he might have a Topher for his son. A Topher, maybe a Jackson with an X. Zane?

2:00:35Big Cat:Pierre? Can you look it up? It's not a Pierre. It's a Hunter and Ryder.

2:00:39PFT Commenter:Oh, shit. That's good. You always got to go to the Paw Patrol names. That's when you know. If he has another kid's rubble. I like Rubble. Okay. Rubble's the funniest.

Yeah, that's crazy. Crazy, right? 37, I thought I was like, whoa, shit, he's 37. Not to, like, make him feel old right now, saying this over and over, but he i always was like he's so much younger than me you want to feel old hank's almost 40 yeah the clock the clock oh i think i think uh you weren't around but we thought of another new clock wait well you maybe you were our birthdays okay my birthday and your birthday yeah like it's so there's just one day off two different clocks yeah countdown to our birthday yes uh all right real fire fest there's a conspiracy at part of my take to make sure that i do not sleep and there's two people in the room that are very uh guilty i don't know how deep the conspiracy goes but we have been here since tuesday night and both nights uh i've been woken up and gotten like three hours of sleep so tuesday night everyone heard we had taylor swift on the podcast on wednesday uh tuesday night we finished recording got in bed i think it was maybe midnight maybe 11 30 fell asleep i'm sleeping soundly nice sleep like hey i'm gonna get probably like six seven hours of sleep at two in the morning i have a flashlight directly in my eyeball yeah flashlight flashlight was back it's two in the morning i have the flashlight in my eyes and max goes hey hey the podcast is okay but i looked it up online and i think we're gonna get sued for having Taylor Swift in the title because we had Taylor Swift on the show on Wednesday.

2:06:00PFT Commenter:What should we do? I'm asleep. I'm asleep. I'm dead asleep.

2:06:05Big Cat:Max, why did you panic about this? Because when I woke up in the morning, thankfully you guys kept it from me because I was trying to sleep to get ready for the Invitational. I woke up to a big text thread being like, are we going to do this? Can we say that? Can we say that? PFT, if you're reading this, unschedule your tweet that you have for tomorrow morning. And I asked Max and he was like, yeah, me and Zach, we just started using AI to try to figure out if we were going to get sued or not. I can only imagine the conversation those two were having, trying to put on their lawyer hats. It was a five-person conversation.

2:06:41It started because memes was basically getting obsessed with quote cards and being like, I can't wait for everyone to get so pissed off about this tomorrow. He was like, I'm going to have everyone thinking this, this, and this. And it started to make me uncomfortable. I was like, I don't want to get in trouble. I don't want to get in trouble. And then Zach heard me saying, I don't want to get in trouble. And then he looked it up. These are our brightest minds. He looked up was like very much what I was. We thought very much what we were doing is illegal by deceiving the viewers and thinking that we did not deceive the viewers.

2:07:15Big Cat:We had Taylor Swift on the correct. Correct. Our he was great.

2:07:18PFT Commenter:Our research told us that that did not matter. so Max does this again I actually also Dave had just yelled at me earlier in the day about something else and that was fresh on my mind Dave loves Taylor Swift if we got if we got sued for something Taylor Swift related he would he would tear apart my fucking ass you would punt you you also know you're you're a protected class correct but it's still it's still like very it's not it's not a position that I wanted to be in and I was freaking out and I was like if I post this and I and we get in trouble it's all gonna come down on me and I I we we had the five of us had a discussion for 45 minutes being like do we wake up big cat do we not do we wake up big cat do we not and then at the end of the day memes looks it looks at me he goes i don't care this is on you oh all right so so by the way this just reminded me shane had a bar today because he had an embarrassing moment in front of dave and i said to him i was like he's like i don't want dave to hate me i was like dude you're a protected class he's gonna bust your balls but like you he can't do anything to you because you're my guy and and shane just goes yeah bald eagles are protected and they still kill them i was like damn all right so so max like starts peppering me with questions at two in the morning i'm not even answering because i'm like i'm trying to understand like that i'm awake at two in the morning not by my own volition at one point max which is illegal he basically was like if you're okay with it i'm okay with it i was like dude i'm not even awake i can't give you you try to put it on me at the end of the day everything was fine i actually am not i wasn't mad at max for being protective of the show making sure we don't get in trouble that was the right thing to do the only thing i was mad about was the flashlight in the eyeball the flashlight was bad insane move he was also he also you had uh you had an eye cover i had an eye mask and you went underneath like you had the flashball a flashlight underneath the eye mask so it was like what the fuck well no but you weren't like but it was like it got underneath yeah yeah yes to wake me up i

2:09:45Big Cat:blame memes i blame memes for having like a devious little cackle and be like i can't wait to go out

2:09:50PFT Commenter:there and get him tomorrow morning yeah and then you read that's what made me nervous yeah good job max i also the only other critique was it was the flashlight but it also was i don't understand and this is a very minor thing but it's it's a regular room setup where before the mega bed it was before the mega bed so we have two beds and a nightstand in between us max for some reason decided to walk all the way into the room into the middle of the room and that confused me even more because why would you i was i'm the closest bed to the door you probably didn't know which one was yours when he walked in i'm the only one i was the only one to sleep yeah in the bed yeah I don't know.

2:10:26PFT Commenter:He walked all. So he was like, I was frantic. When I woke up with deep inside that room, when I woke up with a flashlight, Max was like, he was all the way in the room. It wasn't like he was like slowly opening door. He was in the middle of the room standing over me just panicking. Yeah. So now you're awake. What?

2:10:42Big Cat:It's like, oh, like now that you're awake. Yeah. Right.

2:10:44PFT Commenter:Right. And then there was a question. Max asked me a question. I didn't answer for like a solid 90 seconds. He's like, what should we do? I was like, dude, can you give me a second? I don't even know what planet I'm on. That's fair. That's fair.

2:10:55Big Cat:You think that's how Max's girlfriend's friend felt?

2:10:57PFT Commenter:Yeah, probably. Probably the flashlight. So that was Tuesday night. Didn't go back to sleep for another like two and a half hours because my adrenaline was pumping because I literally thought I was swatted. You saw I was texting like after that for a while. And so got like maybe three, four hours of sleep that night. Fine. Whatever. It's again, I wasn't mad at Max because he was protecting the podcast. He was doing his job. I appreciate him for that. then Wednesday night I was like all right we're gonna go to bed early I'm good gonna get like six seven hours of sleep uh gonna go we went to bed at like 11 30 midnight we have uh I was playing golf with Dave at 7 20 in the morning so I set my alarm for 6 30 the golf course is two minutes away totally fine 5 30 in the morning a siren starts going off a siren's going off in my room Zach set his alarm for 5.30 Zach was not golfing He didn't have to go to the golf course He didn't have any responsibilities He had nothing all morning He woke up at 5.30

2:11:58Big Cat:I shouldn't have the alarm set that earlier In my head I was like I should be up to be available If anyone needs me to do anything It should be But at 5.30 You got to be in the kitchen by like 6.30 I was staying early

2:12:14PFT Commenter:and I was like I wish you guys were awake there was a moment at 6 15 in the morning so Zach got the alarm went off 5 30 I was like I guess I'm up for the day uh there was a moment where Zach and I were sitting out on this balcony at 6 15 fully showered and just being like so now what

2:12:33Big Cat:Zach where'd you come up with 5 30 5 I was doing math on that one like all right so if we're like Like, leaving 645.

2:12:41PFT Commenter:You also didn't have to. Yeah, don't say we're leaving. I know not leaving.

2:12:45Big Cat:I get what he's saying, though. Like, if you need another set of hands at 545 in the morning, I'm your guy. Like, oh, I wish we had somebody who could do this real quick. I was like, oh, why is Zach in the bed? I was like, I don't want to be in that situation. I'll be up. And then I was also the last one to the car yesterday morning. I was like, I don't want to. Like a split second. I know. You're like, I'm going to be an hour early. What if I hold somebody up? And I was like, maybe I'll just wake up extra early. and I'll get all my stuff to get out of the way. That way Bic has time to do his thing, get ready, wake up, just kind of get ready for the day.

2:13:14Big Cat:I didn't think about waking him up too early. My math was also a little off on the alarm clock because I was like, he's leaving 6.45, maybe he's up like 6. But hold on.

2:13:26PFT Commenter:We did the exact same thing on Wednesday morning. I played golf at 7.20. I set my alarm for 6.30.

2:13:33Big Cat:But Zach was late to the car that day. Yeah, bio.

2:13:35PFT Commenter:He wasn't even late.

2:13:37Big Cat:I thought I was.

2:13:38PFT Commenter:I showered first on Wednesday morning, then you showered, and we were all out the door at 7 o 'clock.

2:13:44Big Cat:Super laps in judgment. I thought it was the right time. It wasn't the right time. Like 5.30, bad time. Am I way off to say that you thought to yourself going to bed, I should get up early tomorrow, and then 5.30 was just like your definition of what early is. Like early-ish to when things were moving and shaking at 6.45. I was like, this makes sense, and I'll be available. Being available is a good ability just in case. But you lost at 5.30 too late.

2:14:13PFT Commenter:We just were milling around for an hour this morning before anyone was on.

2:14:17Big Cat:Did you think that you were going to be able to wake up and Big Cat was not? No, no. I thought like I didn't think he was. You set the tone for Big Cat. I think pre-MegaBed this wouldn't be an issue because he'd be further away. This is the downside to MegaBed. I had the phone and portable charger in the bed like under pillow kind of like tunnel it's a siren i thought maybe i know i know you heard it i know i and i'm sorry big hat it's okay i was a bad roommate i don't actually care it was just so

2:14:44PFT Commenter:it was like it was basically back to back days we were just milling around fully showered for an hour before anyone was up and then i'm leaving to go play golf and i'm just like all right zach see ya and he's like see ya he had nothing so yeah I've slept no hours this week because of the conspiracy to keep me awake listen I'm not mad at either of you it's a funny fire fest it was just the fact that it happened back to back nights made it even funnier it's like now what it's like who's next memes? memes gonna get me memes gonna go flip my bed over he would He would. All right, what's your fire fist, Zach?

2:15:26Big Cat:My fire fist was being a bad roommate to you this week. No, you were a great roommate. That was 5.30 is too early.

2:15:31PFT Commenter:We had great vibes. Listen, it's one hour of my life. It was such highs and such lows.

2:15:35Big Cat:It was mega bed. And then it was like, why are we sirening at 5.30? And that's like, you're right. Like, we're police siren at 5.30.

2:15:42PFT Commenter:Like, you're so right. I got swatted twice. I walked out this morning. To be fair, I woke up at like 9.58 this morning. I got a lot of sleep. I walked out here like 10 a.m. Zach is just sitting in the corner over there. I'm like, what's up, Zach? How are you doing? He was like, I'm okay. I'm like, oh, no, what happened? Gave me the whole story. I was like, what have you been doing this morning? He's like, I've just been sitting here. A little bit I sat over there because I felt anxious sitting over here. And then I came back to sitting over here. For like five hours, he was doing this. You were just testing out different seats.

2:16:17Big Cat:I was just pacing a little bit, just making sure like I'm up. like if there's something that needs to be like I'm on it but there was nothing that's true there

2:16:24PFT Commenter:was nothing there was nothing bad read bad read on mine oh man so fucking funny yeah I it's just it was it was early morning for us but you were a good roommate overall I think we had a good vibes mega bed was good we neither of us like had a moment oh I I guess we already kind of said it with Gruden. The tattoo. Zach has a business tattoo. Tattoos. Tattoos.

2:16:52Big Cat:That was a little bit fire fest, I guess.

2:16:54PFT Commenter:Yeah, that was I walked in the first morning back in to get something. I think I was I was going to brush my teeth and you were getting out of the shower. I was like, hey, I'm coming in and you're like, it's all right. I got a towel and I just am staring at a fucking enormous eagle tattoo on your chest all across your chest. I didn't know you had game like that.

2:17:16Big Cat:I don't. I just have a couple, just one or two tats. Yeah, it's business tats. A couple tattoos? Yeah. I didn't think, at first I didn't realize what was going, like what you were acknowledging because I was brushing my teeth. I said, what's that?

2:17:26PFT Commenter:And I pointed at his chest and he turned around behind him. He's like, what do you mean? I didn't know what was going on. It's early. Zach, the tat.

2:17:33Big Cat:When you got the eagle tattoo. It wasn't early. Did you always know early? You're right. Comparatively, yes. Comparatively, yes. How early you got up the next day. In comparison, not at all. Did you always know that it was going to be a big eagle? or did you think like maybe i'll get maybe i'll get a small eagle like just on one chest i didn't think i know now that it might be pretty big but i didn't think at the time when i got like up until night it's not too huge i just have a whole chest i think i got broad shoulders if i stand up straight so maybe that doesn't take up your whole chest it does like 90 yeah it's dude it's a good sick tattoo we're not making fun of the tattoo no no i guess it's surprising that you

2:18:07PFT Commenter:had it it's more like it's the kevin durant business tats where it's like i didn't know you had such a big tattoo so when I saw it I was a little shocked but it is awesome.

2:18:16Big Cat:I never thought to bring it up.

2:18:17PFT Commenter:Yeah.

2:18:18Big Cat:The first thing we did on the yak you had me swimming so I was like I'm swimming. Did you have

2:18:23PFT Commenter:your shirt off?

2:18:24Big Cat:I did. You didn't see it? And we talked Tats Grit Week too. We were like anybody have any tattoos? I was like I got two. Yeah I guess we should have followed up. It's on me. It's our fault. No. Us not following up. I should expound I guess. Fair.

2:18:41PFT Commenter:Yeah. We're a tattoo podcast.

2:18:43Big Cat:We're a tattoo guys? Yeah.

2:18:45PFT Commenter:Are you going to get any more? I never know. Because that also is the, and again, I love the tattoo, but like, I think most people get like a tattoo to start. Like at least I got one. You got one PFT. You just went straight to full chest.

2:19:00Big Cat:I did start chest.

2:19:01PFT Commenter:You have no other little small ones?

2:19:04Big Cat:Just those two. And then I guess I have just like a tiny like smiley. That doesn't count though. You do that when you're like a little kid with the pen ink. but that's it. Wait, what? Pen ink? Like when you're a kid you do like the stick and poke tattoos with like pen ink. Oh, okay. I thought you said like with a pen ink. You have a prison tat. I guess probably similar.

2:19:21PFT Commenter:Yeah, it's a prison tat. I mean, it's cool. It's badass, dude.

2:19:25Big Cat:They say those go away. They don't go away.

2:19:27PFT Commenter:Oh, you thought that was they go away? Yeah, they tell you

2:19:28Big Cat:like the bullshit ones with the pen ink and the little sony and you're like, oh, it'll go away in like a year.

2:19:33PFT Commenter:Oh, so you actually did do a prison tat there?

2:19:35Big Cat:I didn't do it but like my friend did it, yeah. Yeah. Just for fun. We all just got the same one. We were like teenagers, yeah.

2:19:41PFT Commenter:That's awesome. Good stuff. All right. Max, finish us off. You get a fire fest? Yeah, I'll keep mine quick. We just literally right before we sat down to record, I was trying to get a credential off of my shorts. And then I looked at my shirt.

2:19:56Big Cat:Get the camera on them.

2:19:59PFT Commenter:Get the camera on these shorts. You're going to want to see these shorts. So we had a long day. Yesterday, it was hot. I was sweating. Oh, no. I have two pairs of golf shorts. The one that I wore yesterday, at some point. Doesn't even have a belt loop.
