Rory Wins Back To Back Masters, Scott Van Pelt Joins Us Live From Augusta, NBA Playoffs Set + Who's Back Of The Week

13:03PFT Commenter:Something else is going on.

13:04Big Cat:He took his bunker. He smashed it into the ground, smashed it into the water cooler. and then later on in that hole, he picked up John Rahm's bag and he was like, I'll just carry your bag down the course for you.

13:14PFT Commenter:He also afterwards didn't show much remorse. He got dinged by Augusta. They were like, hey, we're giving you not a penalty but a warning. But afterwards, he kind of laughed it off because he's got a green jacket and they can never stop inviting him. I saw there was a debate this weekend, Which would you rather have, the gold jacket from the Pro Football Hall of Fame or the green jacket? It has to be green jacket. What comes with the green jacket is insane. Just being able to go there. You get to play this course and you get to play in the tournament for the rest of your life. It's insane. It's pretty good.

13:52PFT Commenter:So Sergio can just smash his driver and they can be like, hey, sir, please don't do that. And he's like, you know what? Guess what? You're with me for life because I won one of these things and I'm coming back for as long as I want.

14:04Big Cat:I think that there might be a secret rule where if Augusta's membership votes on, they can get a guy kicked out. Yeah, probably. Even if you win a Masters. Probably. I think that if you're hated enough amongst the champions. If you disrespect the course and the course's rules.

14:19PFT Commenter:Yeah, do you think they have like a morality clause? Because then they would have, I mean, Tiger probably would have had a couple of meetings about that.

14:26Big Cat:I don't think a morality clause. I think maybe a, like if you bring a cell phone onto the campus.

14:31PFT Commenter:What about Bobby Mack? he's, you know, he got in trouble, right?

14:35Big Cat:I kind of like that, though, for flipping off the course. Flipping off the course, flipping off the patrons.

14:40PFT Commenter:Can't do that. No.

14:41Big Cat:There was one shot, too, that Gary Woodland had. I think it was on Friday. He hit his ball, like, way to the right, and then was trying to pitch out to get back on the green. I think it was his third shot. And the patrons were lined up on that side of the green, and they wouldn't move because you put your seat down, and that's where you're entitled to stay for the entire day. so Gary Woodland had to hit like just a little running ball and lay up short of the patrons so then he could get on the green for his next shot

15:09PFT Commenter:I like that

15:10Big Cat:they built a wall

15:12PFT Commenter:yeah we also had our guy Max have an incredible round on Sunday he went from I think he was in the 20s all the way up to tied for 9th yeah so I think he got like 600 grand Max is going to win one I really believe that he was in it I mean he's finished tied for 12th or better three straight years at Augusta. He's playing the course well. It's just putting together all four days. Yeah.

15:38Big Cat:If you look back on how he was playing last year compared to this year, he's playing way better. Right. I think Matt –

15:44PFT Commenter:And he didn't have any bad rounds. It wasn't that he had bad rounds. It's actually funny if you look at the last – I think it's like five or six. It's up until Dustin Johnson won the COVID year. The winning score at Augusta has been like minus 10 to minus 12. ever since like that's what it is it's just they've dialed it the course to be exactly that i know people were mad that they nerfed it a little bit by spraying it with water on the weekend but that's what it is and max is i mean he's you know he finished minus eight today he's right there yeah max played really well i'm proud of max i think this is max's year yeah and brooks got an invite back too i think he would have gotten one anyway but he finished top 12

16:24Big Cat:yeah brooks automatic invite brooks is right in there guys are back in our guy jake knapp also finished number 11. What's more

16:31PFT Commenter:impressive? Sick mullet, Jake. Winning back-to-back Masters or getting both of your friends back in the Masters next year?

16:37Big Cat:Like, how many dudes just have two friends that are playing at Augusta?

16:40PFT Commenter:Right, and we just got both of them back at the tournament next year. Rory just got himself. Just so we're clear, Rory did not get anyone else. We got two guys.

16:49Big Cat:They're calling it the PMT sweep.

16:53PFT Commenter:I would love to, again, we'll make Rory say no, but I would love to ask him, like, what's more impressive in your mind? Have you ever gotten two of your friends automatic qualifications to Augusta? Definitely. On the same Sunday?

17:06Big Cat:Definitely not. Rory might be the top of the list of guys who are never coming on this podcast.

17:10PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah. Really? The top? Ooh, let's do it real quick. LeBron. Outrush more of guys never coming on this podcast. Okay, LeBron. Bryson. Bryson. I don't know about that. I think Bryson way better chance than Rory. I think at some point he'll need it. Okay. So Rory. probably Vrabel at this point Vrabel and Rossini Chris Paul for sure who else LeBron although LeBron like what if he's in the internet invitational he's like these guys are so funny I think we could trick him to be like hey can you just come to our suite real quick I want to show you our producer's tattoo yeah Taylor Swift might do it Taylor Swift would not be doing it yeah that's definitely on there alright so wait let's do a top 10 Top 10 most likely people to never come back on the podcast or come on the podcast.

18:00PFT Commenter:Rory McIlroy, LeBron James, Taylor Swift, Vrabel Rossini, Chris Paul. Who else? Who else? Fauci. I'm going to say Dr.

18:11Big Cat:Anthony Fauci.

18:12PFT Commenter:You think he will? He's invited back on. Rob Schneider. Rob Schneider. Good one. Definitely not. Cena will come back on. Right? Kareem. Kareem. still alive I think that's about that's eight that's eight good ones I'm trying to think who else

18:34Big Cat:Justin Bieber probably will never come on Coach K Coach K I could see Coach K doing it I wouldn't want him on I could see him he's in the media now

18:44PFT Commenter:I would say mean things okay yeah that seems like you gotta think that there's like

18:48Big Cat:A-A-A-A-Listers that'll just never come on yeah well yeah but that's you said you Sweeney sure that's what I'm saying I think Sydney might come on.

18:56PFT Commenter:We get more videos. Zach talking about sleeping in. Those eyes popping. I think that's definitely happening. That absolutely could happen. Oh, what's the name? Jared Dudley. Throwback. Yeah, yeah. Remember when he announced that he was coming on? And then a few people on Twitter were like, don't do Barstool. And he's like, I'm better not do Barstool. Yeah. One of the most random guys ever. To be like, here's my line in the sand.

19:28Big Cat:Okay, Jared Dudley, our bad. Yeah. I think amongst golfers, he's probably the only one that we can say would probably not like to come on Barstow Sports Properties.

19:38PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah.

19:39Big Cat:But, I mean, all it would take would be one nice video from Dave when Dave bet on him, and then Rory would change his tune.

19:45PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah. We could just say nice things about him.

19:48Big Cat:Yeah. But congrats to Rory. Good job. Very much congrats to Rory. I guess congrats to Rory. He will be coming up and he'll tell us how awesome he is.

19:55PFT Commenter:That's why we have SVP on. So when someone wins that we don't like, he can, Scott can actually tell us why we should like him. And we'll be like, yeah, because Scott's the best.

20:04Big Cat:I think that it would, it's going to be good for golf to have a guy that's dominant that we don't like.

20:09PFT Commenter:Yeah.

20:09Big Cat:I think that's good for us too. It keeps us on our toes as a podcast because it's very easy. Like Scotty Scheffler, he wasn't the most dynamic guy in front of the media when he started to win. We got to know him, the most likable person.

20:22PFT Commenter:Well, the fact that he likes Stu Feiner means that he's the man.

20:25Big Cat:Yeah.

20:25PFT Commenter:No, I agree. I don't understand golf fans who like everyone or like every single person who wins. That's just not. It doesn't make sense to me. You got to have some people you don't like.

20:36Big Cat:This is residual liking for all the losing that he's done in the past. Yeah. He lost so much when it counted in major, major moments that a lot of people developed that sympathy liking of Rory. And it's just like, I want this poor little guy to just succeed one time. Yeah, and he did. And then he did it again. And then he did it again. And now he's good because everyone's like, oh, come on, Rory. Great job. We still remember you're a loser. Eventually, we're going to get sick. Like the average golfer is going to be starting to get sick of Rory winning major championships.

21:07PFT Commenter:Well, and here's the honest truth about it. It has less to do with last year. I was pissed this year. It was more to do with the fact that there was a moment on Sunday where it was like, are we going to have a five-person playoff? That was a realistic thing with everyone bunched up. So to not have any type of playoff kind of sucked. I wanted to see Scotty and Rory go into a playoff. It would have been awesome. It would have been great. Yeah, so that was part of it. Other Masters notes, the egg salad guy. I know we talked about the hats, the shrink movement that everyone says that we got to get rid of all these people who are new into golf.

21:46PFT Commenter:I think the egg salad hat guy rules because I think he made that as a custom hat that's a custom hat yeah they didn't sell that one that one is a custom hat if you love egg salad that much and I also was just thinking about it like that guy wearing that hat on Monday morning back at work that's very funny

22:03Big Cat:the only way the hat could be better is if the letters were a little bit larger and if it was upside down then that hat would absolutely rock

22:10PFT Commenter:I think it's also the fact that it's egg salad because it's not like if you had a hat that said bacon or you had a hat that said hamburger or ice cream everyone loves that this guy's hat just says fart sandwich like you're gonna eat it you're gonna eat a sandwich that smells like a fart and everyone's gonna be like what's going on it's gonna be delicious but let's just be honest that's what an egg salad sandwich is you know when you make an egg salad sandwich and if anyone walks by they're

22:34Big Cat:gonna be like ew that was this is gross i would like one uh that said savory tomato pie that would be a good one yep uh just fresh mixed fruit would be a really good hat maybe for like a big bachelor party to all share different ones of those hats uh one that just says soft drinks i'm just looking at the menu right now of augusta champion augusta national um and then one how about one that just

22:59PFT Commenter:says domestic beer that would be cool the domestic beer hat i think might be the best one in the uh

23:05Big Cat:non-egg salad division to wear on a hat. I don't... I think it's funny that golf people are like, we need to shrink the game because these people wear stupid hats to our tournaments.

23:15PFT Commenter:Yeah, I mean, it's keeping in a different form. I don't know. I think people should get to do whatever they want, love whatever they want. Yeah. If the style looks stupid, they'll just look stupid. It's their own choice as a human being. If they want to wear a hat that looks stupid, let them wear a hat that looks stupid.

23:33Big Cat:I do think that there should be more places, not less, that we go to where they do the master's rules of confiscating your cell phone. Yeah, it'd be great. I think that people actually crave that right now. Yes. I think if you had a concert venue and they made you do that before the bands went on, I think people would actually look forward to going to that venue. I think even if there was a bar, if there was just a good sports bar or a good nice upscale bar, and they're like, hey, put your phones in the little comedy bags at the end. Put them in there. You're not allowed to have your phone out in this bar.

24:09Big Cat:I actually think a lot of people would go that far.

24:11PFT Commenter:Did I hear Chick-fil-A is doing something like that, that if you don't look at your phone, you get a free ice cream or something? Look that up. I think there's something. My question, though, to you would be, would anyone attend Coachella if they confiscated their phone? No. No. It's like Coachella actually is the reverse of the Masters. A mandatory phone. Yeah. I think maybe this is just someone told me this and no phone challenge. Is it really? Is it real? Someone told me this. And then I just I'm in a big mood of just whatever people tell me. I just believe.

24:45Big Cat:select Chick-fil-A locations are offering a free small cone to customers who participate in the cell phone coop challenge.

24:53PFT Commenter:I like this.

24:54Big Cat:That's more places to do it. Like if you had, you know how like late summer you start to get some of the theme days at MLB ballparks? Yeah. Like Bark at the Park? Yeah. If there was no cell phone day. This is like my idea of no replay week.

25:07PFT Commenter:Yeah. Your idea of what? No replay week in sports where we could just start doing stuff like that where it's like the NBA says, hey, for an entire week, we're just not going to have any instant replay.

25:19Big Cat:Yeah, I think if you told people ahead of time, hey, this is the non-cell phone day at our ballpark, I think you would actually get a lot of people that want to go to it.

25:26PFT Commenter:Definitely. The other ones were Haotong Lee, who had a 10, who froze out. Scotty, what was that, at 16?

25:35Big Cat:13. Oh, yeah.

25:37PFT Commenter:He putted it into the water. He was in the bushes looking for his ball. he also apparently had food poisoning or some type of diarrhea incident because he said he went to the toilet last night a lot of times and this morning when I got to the golf course and was still feeling really bad and I was living in the toilet he had a 1 % Whoop recovery and then Whoop was using that as promotion which I found a little bit interesting he is the man though, remember he's the one on his wedges it says How Tong is the most handsome man in China pretty cool

26:09Big Cat:I think that's why he kept hitting the ball over and over again in the woods. Yeah. Because he's probably taking a shit at the time. Oh, my God. Now, when I saw this, Hank, maybe you can answer my question because I had a golf rules question for you. Why didn't he just say, I can't find my ball?

26:27PFT Commenter:Yeah, what is that? What happens? You take an unplanned. Maybe I do a breakfast ball. On the 12th hole? Yeah. Or on the 13th hole?

26:36Big Cat:Yeah. Because if you say...

26:38PFT Commenter:I think they have spotters, though.

26:40Big Cat:Right, but he was inside of trees. I don't think they had spotters underneath the trees. If he hit that second shot. I don't know why I did that. I don't know why he started searching that.

26:50PFT Commenter:Max went to try to find the rule, and he typed in breakfast balls. Yeah.

26:54Big Cat:Because it sounds delicious. The gust of breakfast balls. It sounds delicious. What is that? Dark chocolate chips melted with oats. Oh, my God.

27:00PFT Commenter:Little ice cream balls.

27:01Big Cat:Some chia seeds in there. It sounds like one that you can put in a Ziploc and carry around with you all day. Some granola in there. I didn't mean to do that.

27:08PFT Commenter:I didn't mean to do that.

27:09Big Cat:Maybe put some caramel and then a little bit of sea salt on the outside. No, it's just a penalty.

27:12PFT Commenter:It's like an OB if you can't find your ball. If you can't find your ball. You better go back to the tee box.

27:15Big Cat:Take it unplayable. Yeah. You can go back to where you hit your first shot, and it's a one-stroke penalty, right? Yeah, so why didn't he do that? He should have done that.

27:22PFT Commenter:I think he probably thought he could make it out.

27:25Big Cat:Because if I'm in that deep, deep stuff, I'm going to look for it, but then I'm not going to look very hard for it.

27:32PFT Commenter:You're a looker. You're a searcher.

27:34Big Cat:I am a looker. Thank you, Hank. of a may put down a quote card please you're a looker you are from hank lockwood on the golf

27:41PFT Commenter:course in small techs uh any other oh justin justin rose feel bad for him he now has uh four top three finishes at the masters that's only greg norman has more with uh out of win with six

27:56Big Cat:it's hard to feel bad for guys like that and that's why it was hard for me to feel bad for rory too because if you finish second place at augusta you're going home with like what two million bucks 1.5 million dollars you can't play forever you can't play forever you don't get the

28:11PFT Commenter:green jacket you don't get to go to the dinner you gotta win one yeah i guess and he's also like 45 so it's it's a little sad when when he's at the tail end of his career he's i mean two great chances yeah four top three finishes is brutal yeah the last two years so close is pain like Like him and Rory, they're Ryder Cup teammates, friends, but it's like you must kind of resent them.

28:35Big Cat:Yeah. Yeah. Rory, bad friend? Yeah, definitely.

28:40PFT Commenter:Bad friend for sure. I would say so. Bad friend for sure. Rory, I did like Rory's speech afterwards. He was very gracious in talking about his parents. I think he seems like a nice guy. I'm not a fan, but he seems like a very nice guy. Can't say a lot of bad things about Rory.

28:56Big Cat:Except for the carbon footprint. Did he speed out of the parking lot afterwards and almost run over a reporter like he did?

29:01PFT Commenter:He probably went so slow. Yeah. Did you see the dust up with Scotty in the reporter? People were making a big deal out of that. I saw that. I defend Scotty. I don't care.

29:10Big Cat:So the dust up was because Scotty said, like, the reporter asked him what they think his round should have been. Yeah. Implying that, like, he left some shots out there. He shot a 65 that day. And he goes, that's a terrible question. Yeah.

29:24PFT Commenter:Awful. It might be a bad question. You also might not like the reporter. Change your face, reporter. Right? I don't know who asked the question. You know what? Why don't you come up? If Scottie doesn't like you, don't ask the question, dude. I might agree with Scottie Shuffler on this one.

29:39Big Cat:If you shoot a 65 and someone's like, how mad are you that your score wasn't better? Yeah. The problem with Scottie kind of. Fuck you, dude. You couldn't break 120 here.

29:48PFT Commenter:He kind of answered the question after. He's a nice guy. Someone else answered the question. Oh, it was Jason Sobel? Yeah. Listen, I don't know what the beef is, if there is a beef, but if there's beef, fuck you, Jason Sobel. We're ride or die with Scotty.

30:04Big Cat:Mm-hmm.

30:06PFT Commenter:I mean, I would love Scotty Scheffler for life, just by the fact that he watches Stu Feiner say some of the most outrageous shit of all time. After church. After church. Or before church sometimes.

30:17Big Cat:I think what we got to do is, like for major golf tournaments, there should be a special episode of Advisors. Knowing that Scotty needs to watch that.

30:25PFT Commenter:We could just make a one of one episode for him. On Scott. Just send him an episode. Yeah. Imagine what Stu would say on that. I just remembered we recorded. I helped Stu record. I don't know why he's here when he was doing the voiceover for the Ryder Cup. Yeah. And I believe he made a video for the US team privately. Oh, where he was just going off on Rory. Oh, I love it. Oh, man. I would like to hear that video. Do you have that video? I think I do. That would be a good video to share. Come on. For the people.

31:04Big Cat:Yeah, doing a single man episode of Advisors just to get him pumped up on a major Sunday.

31:10PFT Commenter:Would be incredible.

31:11Big Cat:You know that Scotty Shuffler is not going to lose a major championship if he's got Stu telling him to lick clit at 5.15 in the morning.

31:18PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah. Just screaming at him. Eat ass. Eat ass. Go fuck Rory. He'd say it all. He'd say it all. All right, so another Masters in the books. Fun time. Wish we had a playoff. That's all we wanted because he was flirting with it. That ball not spinning at all on Hank. You're the course expert. 15, 16, 15 was insane. And then the announcers afterwards being like, it should have spun. He hit it wrong.

31:50Big Cat:And he fucked around. So close. Maybe I am upset at Augusta getting nerfed and not in the way that Dude Perfect went out there with a bunch of blowguns or whatever. I'm pissed because I feel like that ball in years past goes back into the creek. Yeah. Hey, listen.

32:09PFT Commenter:Augusta, they like it how they like it. Okay. We're going to talk some more Masters with Scott Van Pelt, who is at Augusta.

33:47PFT Commenter:Okay, let's talk some national sports podcasts. NBA playoffs are set. Some NBA coaching news. Yeah. Breaking news. Where are we going to start? You want to start with that? Doc Rivers?

34:02Big Cat:Google him.

34:03PFT Commenter:Google him, Big Cat. This is the least surprising news of all time.

34:09Big Cat:Doc Rivers is departing as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Sources tell ESPN after a 30-50 season, the Bucs will embark on their third coaching search in the last three years. Now, it didn't say that he was fired. No.

34:21PFT Commenter:It said that Doc is departing. Departing. He actually said on Dan Patrick's show a few weeks ago that he's going to beat Dan Patrick to retirement. So I think Doc knew it was happening. He got in the Hall of Fame and then just was like, yeah.

34:34Big Cat:Yeah. I'm out. We were talking about Dusty May last week. He is the original constantly horse basketball head coach. Yeah. Like, he's never had a full voice. The Google Me thing that he tried to do to his own team a couple weeks ago.

34:50PFT Commenter:Yeah.

34:51Big Cat:That's an interesting move because I think if you Google Doc Rivers, the first things that you find, I'm going to guess that game seven is somewhere in the first sentence of his Google.

35:00PFT Commenter:He'll probably get a job as an exec somewhere.

35:03Big Cat:Yeah, I think some shitty team would be like, we want you to be our Brad Stevens.

35:08PFT Commenter:Yeah. You got to make Doc Rivers say no, and he will definitely say yes. Yeah, well. If you give him that job title. Doc will make you say no to hiring him. Yes, yes. And then we had the regular season is finally complete. Finally. We had. Do you guys. So I looked this up and this is this was crazy. Did you guys see the all time like once in a generation Haley's Comet tank off on Friday night? All time game. The Jazz played the Grizzlies and both teams have been tanking for a long time. and the Grizzlies needed to lose. It was a must-lose game for both of them. The Grizzlies started four guys on a 10-day contract and a two-way player as well.

35:57PFT Commenter:The Grizzlies lineup had one first-rounder in it, and the rest were undrafted or second-rounders. Derek Whitehead was the one first-rounder, and I mentioned Derek Whitehead because in the first 14 minutes of the game, he scored 16 points, and then the Grizzlies benched him until they were in, it was like a three-point game in the start of the second quarter. The Grizzlies then benched him until the fourth quarter when they were down by 50. He was too hot. We also had three triple doubles in this game, one of which was actually a quadruple double, and it was Jermaine Micek. He had 13, 15, 14, and 10 turnovers.

36:41PFT Commenter:he played all 48 minutes he was a minus 46 with a triple double both the triple doubles for the jazz came from their bench players they played one the grizzlies played six guys the jazz played seven

36:53Big Cat:guys it would be really it was unbelievable it'd be really interesting to do like a where are they now of guys that got minutes in like uh march and early april in nba seasons like three years ago yeah and just see like how many of the guys ever get brought back because it's it's gotten to the point where it's just it's blatant but there's nothing that the nba can do about it it was the

37:12PFT Commenter:first time in nba history there was three triple doubles in a game and it was the most meaningless game ever we had kevin love trying to come into the game and then being told to sit down it was because jazz were so pissed they won um guys fouling well well in the lead yeah i say that

37:28Big Cat:there's no solution to it they're actually there might be a solution did you see the nba reddit post from last week about how to solve tanking. Okay. This is as close as I've seen to a viable long-term solution. Dynamic beer pricing. Ooh. This is from Twitter, or sorry, Reddit user Kilonifornia69. The NBA mandates that all beers cost$10 for all teams at the start of the season. teams can increase prices by 35 cents per win and must decrease them by 20 cents per loss so looking at the current standings right now one beer at a oklahoma city thunder game would cost 22.70 okay one beer at a washington wizards game would cost 10 cents i love that so it's like you yeah you can you can tank if you want but you're not going to make any money off beer sales it should be all concessions and let me tell you um i think that wizards fans deserve to have 10 cent beers for every game yeah i think they need beer goggles on to be like damn that guy looks like an nba player yeah no this this would absolutely work i'm into it yeah it should be all concessions too all concessions sure right it's like if you're gonna put out such

38:45PFT Commenter:a shit product you know the like a family of four should be able to go to a wizards game and get hammered and get hammered and eat dinner for $2. I agree.

38:55Big Cat:Yeah. This is the best solution that I've ever seen.

38:58PFT Commenter:I like that a lot. So we yeah, the NBA, I agree Hank, finally it's over. This was the worst regular season. It was dragging. Dragging to the finish line. And I'm excited for the NBA playoffs but they just ruined their product this season in terms of how half the league was just completely tanking for basically the whole season and just non-competitive. Like some of these, I was looking at the points threads the other night. It was like every single game was minus 24. It was crazy. And they were covering because teams are so actively trying to lose. I mean, like I said, the Jazz-Grizzlies game was, they started six guys.

39:41The one guy who shot well, they sat immediately because they're like, yeah, you can't play

39:46PFT Commenter:this well. that's how bad the product has come so what do you see the promo wind horse cut for it no oh it cut a he cut a all-time like promo like it was like they were going into game seven i love that

39:57Big Cat:windy's the best very cool yeah i do wonder where they find some of these guys like how do they if you're a gm and you're actively trying to tank like what is the the process like for elevating guys it's just g league and signing guys but like you want guys that will not help you win i want to I know actually the nuts and bolts of how they make the decisions of who's going to be on an NBA roster for the last three weeks of a season.

40:20PFT Commenter:Yeah, and they play six guys, and they make sure that everyone's tired, and it's a bunch of guys that are not NBA worthy, and they can't win a game. It's just terrible.

40:32Big Cat:Max, how are we feeling about the Sixers?

40:34PFT Commenter:Yeah, so the playoffs are set. Obviously, the play-in is happening this week. We have the Sixers playing the Magic on Wednesday. Max Where did you find that? I couldn't Neems told me that right before He said What? It's not Wednesday? I think it is Wednesday Either way The Sixers are playing the Magic For the 7 seed Which would then Face off against the Celtics The app I'm looking at Says Magic Sixers 630 Tuesday Tuesday Uh oh What are you They're fighting in the booth Is this a fake name? Rod Bone? Boone? Oh no Oh, did you get got? Rod Boone. Did you get got? I might have got boned. Although the Canadians are playing the Flyers on Tuesday night.

41:18PFT Commenter:This looks like a real guy. Yeah, yeah. Rod Boone. So due to Philadelphia winning and leapfrogging Orlando in the standings, there's a conflict in Philadelphia on Tuesday because there's a Flyers game. Hornets host Miami Heat on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. I see it on ESPN as well, Max. For Wednesday? Yeah.

41:37Big Cat:All right, justice for memes.

41:38PFT Commenter:Justice for memes. Yeah, Wednesday. So everyone who's listening right now has to root their asses off for the Philadelphia 76ers.

41:46Big Cat:No, we're not. Those Sixers, dude. Josh Harris. The Celtics are going to be like minus 1 ,000 to win this season. But it's still good fodder. This is not. They're going to win in five. No disrespect, Max. You sound like a fucking loser right now. Yeah. The Sixers aren't good. Get excited, dude. They're a playoff team. Big Cat did this exact same thing when the Bulls were in the play-in last year. That was different because the Bulls were in the play-in. No, it's not. It's different.

42:10PFT Commenter:Well, no, actually it is because the Bulls never got the seven seed. That means nothing. No, they never hosted the first play. We always would have to fucking host the game. We'd have to go to Atlanta or Miami. Maybe there was one year we got there. There was one year, but I think we lost both of those games.

42:28Big Cat:We just always lose the play. Max, everybody said last year that the Knicks had no chance against the Celtics.

42:35PFT Commenter:It was way different. And Bede's probably not even going to play. Why do you say that? No, I mean, you're right, Max. I do agree with you. I want it for the play-in. I do not like the play-in because I think it's bullshit that – and now the Sixers would make the playoffs right now if it weren't for play-in. I think it's bullshit that the 9th and 10th teams, like we don't need to – especially in a league where you're trying to get even half the teams to be competitive. The 9th and 10th seed, like they're not going to win shit. Absolutely not. But the Sixers might. No, they're not. Dude, Max. Are you scared, Hank?

43:08PFT Commenter:This is a year. No, pretend to be scared. Of the Sixers? Yeah. Like, reverse it. I mean, if Embiid had an appendix, who knows? Yeah, true. Could be interesting, right? This could be an interesting series.

43:21Big Cat:Think about it this way, Hank. That's one less thing that he can get injured when you play against them. When it comes to the playoffs, I mean, the next last year,

43:26PFT Commenter:it's like you can't take teams for granted. Anything could happen. Yeah, you can't overlook any opponent. They're in the playoffs for a reason. They're a good team, good organization. Got to take care of business.

43:36Big Cat:You couldn't even say that without stuttering.

43:39PFT Commenter:He's trying to do the biz. Oh. Yeah. Got it. It's okay. But I mean. You're in rage mode right now. No, I'm not. I'm not in rage mode. No, but you're like teetering on rage mode.

43:49Big Cat:What about Playoff P? You're telling me all about Playoff P and how great he's been recently. Yeah. Prime Playoff P is back. What if you win game one? We've won game one before to the Celtics, but we were actually good.

44:00PFT Commenter:Against the Magic, I mean. Oh. Then you play the Celtics. And then what if you won the other game one? I already answered that. You could win multiple game ones in one week. You guys are. The other playing is bullshit. I actually have your backwax.

44:15Big Cat:No, you got this. Embiid will come back for. I'm going to officially say Embiid will be back by game three of the series against the Celtics. Okay. Then you got Maxie.

44:27PFT Commenter:You got playoff P. You got to have one playoff P game in Boston. Steal one there. Then you get a couple Embiid games and one Maxie game, and you're good. That's four right there. Two Embiid games, one Maxi game, one playoff P game. Yeah. Dude, you got this. That's pretty simple. You got this. So simple. I'm flired up. You flired up? I'm flired up. I'm flired up. I'm flired up. Well, that's the other thing.

44:53Big Cat:Max, me and you were fighting for a hockey playoff spot right now. And I love hockey. You love hockey so much. I'm the biggest hockey guy.

45:03PFT Commenter:So, yeah, the plans, we'll get Rusilla or Windhorst on in a couple shows, talk some NBA playoffs. Do you want to make a prediction?

45:13Big Cat:Like, what cities has Windhorst secured his hotel rooms in? And then we can check with him.

45:19PFT Commenter:Okay. I'll say Celtics, Boston. Boston. I think maybe New York. I don't think so. I think he might have just only done Boston. No. No. I feel like he might have.

45:31Big Cat:I think New York and Boston. Oklahoma, San Antonio, and Denver.

45:37PFT Commenter:So it's just what's the fifth one that he's made in the East? That's really the only question.

45:44Big Cat:The question is –

45:45PFT Commenter:Because it's definitely those three in the West, and it's Boston, and it's just who's the other – May Philly.

45:51Big Cat:May Philly. I mean, this is the year a lot of people were saying, pundits were saying going into the season. I heard that. This is the year for the Sixers to win. You got Tatum knocked out with the Achilles. You got Halliburton out for the season in Indy out of the East. This is the year that the Sixers should make a run. Now Cunningham, he's out too. So it's like things are wide open for the Philadelphia 76ers.

46:13PFT Commenter:Yeah. You did say, or pundits did say that. You know what it is, Hank? Just dawned on me. He's going to use technicality. He's going to say that Boston's the only one he made in the East because he'll stay at his mom's house when he goes to Cleveland. That's exactly what's going to happen. So he technically has Cleveland as well. but I bet you it's it can't is it the Celtics East is theirs to win they have to win it right yeah I mean they're not the number one but yes but set the bar anything other than getting to the NBA finals is a disappointment yeah for sure

46:46Big Cat:I think anything but winning the NBA finals

46:50PFT Commenter:I agree you don't come to the playoffs to want to lose who would do that

46:58PFT Commenter:he's not even paying attention. I'm just not participating in this. Memes, Zach, you want to chime in? You nicked up?

47:06Big Cat:I'm fired up. I can't believe Hank even just said that.

47:09PFT Commenter:What?

47:09Big Cat:They can't beat the Knicks.

47:11PFT Commenter:And we're just starting it all over again. Ooh, we're going to get bing-bong again? Good. The same thing is happening. Let's just do the same thing. Bring it.

47:19Big Cat:Same thing. Bing-bong? Is Hank, does he have the same mentality he had last year? The way he's talking right now, yeah. And the team was significantly better last year.

47:28PFT Commenter:Are you worried about the hawks at all yes okay that doesn't hawks hawks are a very good basketball team you weren't

47:36Big Cat:worried about the raptors not a chance mac or memes can i ask you a question yes sir um i have watched a grand total of zero atlanta hawks games this year can you tell me why the hawks are a good basketball team why they're dangerous the hawks traded away the hawks had a really good offseason got a bunch of guys they traded away all those guys pretty much revamped their entire team and now they're just playing like elite basketball got it that's it got it they're just super athletic they're super fast and they can shoot the three i'm kind of excited to see the hornets in the plan yeah does that make i know the plan doesn't really count but the hornets in terms of like the roster right now and they're young they're fun absolutely they could be a fight also it's just like i can't remember the last time the hornets were good so it's kind of cool seeing

48:23PFT Commenter:And I'm just very excited for the Western Conference playoffs because the Thunder, Spurs, and Nuggets, that's going to be awesome. And maybe even throw in the Rockets. I mean, Timberwolves are fun, too. I don't think the Lakers, unless Luca's leg is just better because of the trip. Yeah, he's getting back from the stem cells. He might be. But, yeah, I'm excited for NBA playoffs. There's nothing better than playoffs.

48:47Big Cat:I took a future on the Sixers.

48:49PFT Commenter:You did just now?

48:50Big Cat:I like that. I gotta at least get a little Show some love What was the odds? It was a good number What was it? Good number 50-1 just to win the East I might ride, Max 50-1

49:04PFT Commenter:There you go Did you ever put another future on?

49:08Big Cat:I did on the Celtics But then I cashed out because I cried

49:11PFT Commenter:But then remember Hank called you a coward He was crying

49:13Big Cat:But you said you had something else planned for him But no, I'm gonna bet with Max I'm gonna stand with my guy I wanna root with Max Just got to get Embiid back. Max and I, we always butt heads. All our teams are always rivals with each other. This is a good opportunity. I want to support Max in his time of need. That's nice. Let's go Sixers. That's really nice. Thanks, PFT. Yeah, six up. Six up.

49:34PFT Commenter:Let's have some six. Yeah, let's have some six. That's pretty good. Congrats on the six. Yeah. Okay, any other - Hot, steamy six. Any other national sports podcast topics before we do who's back? Anything? Hockey playoffs are going to start. Hockey playoffs starting after. I got an international. Well, actually, hockey playoffs starting this weekend. Next weekend is the weekend, and we'll have Biz and Witt and Yans on all spring.

49:59Big Cat:I've got an international sports podcast thing.

50:02PFT Commenter:Oh, okay.

50:04Big Cat:Should we start caring a little bit about British soccer just for the next couple weeks because something very funny might happen? Tottenham. Tottenham. Tottenham. So Tottenham is in danger of being relegated. They are if it ended right now. Yeah, so I looked it up. They're about even odds to get relegated. Now, they are one of the six big teams in the EPL. They've got a massive payroll. They just built a new stadium like a decade ago for billions of dollars. It would be – I'm trying to think of like the NBA or NFL equivalent to this. There isn't because we don't have relegation. We don't have relegation.

50:42Big Cat:It would be like – It would be like if the bills.

50:45PFT Commenter:No, I think the only way to do it would be like if you said, if Ohio State started playing in the MAC. Yeah. That would be what it is. No disrespect to the MAC. But, like, that's what – it's crazy. It makes no sense.

51:00Big Cat:They have 134 million quid payroll. I think it's quid. That's probably the unit they use over there. Pounds? It's loonies, I believe. Loonies, yeah. 134 loonies on that roster. A bunch of their players are playing in the World Cup for their respective countries, but they just suck, and they can't win anything. Harry Kane? Yeah, well, I don't know. I don't know who's on their roster right now. I think Harry Kane's on the roster. No. No?

51:23PFT Commenter:No. Hasn't been for a couple years.

51:25Big Cat:Okay, not Harry Kane.

51:26PFT Commenter:Yep.

51:26Big Cat:I don't watch EPL. That's okay. I'm excited about the idea of a team that has this much invested in it potentially getting relegated.

51:34PFT Commenter:Yes.

51:35Big Cat:That'd be funny for you. That is awesome. It'd be funny to see what happens with the ownership group, and it's the reason why American sports will never adopt the relegation model. Absolutely not. Because the people that would own the teams would stand to lose so much money. But Tottenham, Hotspur, they're a team that was going to be in the Super League just a few years ago. They came with one name.

51:54PFT Commenter:Sousa. Sousa? There's no last name. He's 19. So he's got to be awesome. Yeah.

51:59Big Cat:Yeah. So that's what I'm rooting for in soccer. Before we get to the World Cup, I think it would be very funny if Tottenham got relegated.

52:07PFT Commenter:Yeah. No, it's been a pretty crazy fall from grace here with how bad they've been playing.

52:13Big Cat:Would they then have to play, obviously, a championship schedule or a second division, whatever that is? Is that the championship? Yes. Yeah, the championship schedule where they'd now be going to places and stadiums that have like 5 ,000 seats. Yeah. That would rock. I think that'd be very funny.

52:30PFT Commenter:Yeah, no. Those are still big clubs. Those are still big-ish clubs. Like the Wrexham? Yeah. Yeah. Is that the same? I don't know if Wrexham is all the way. Is Wrexham all the way up to the championship league? That's the league below the EPL. I don't know if they're all the way up there. But, yeah, it's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. And Tottenham was in, like, they were in the Champions League not too long. Did they play in the Champions League? I don't know. They might have played in the Champions League this year, which is crazy. I think they might have been in the Champions League this year.

53:05PFT Commenter:but either way it's nuts it's absolutely nuts i think maybe last year actually that they were in the champions league it's a crazy fall fall from grace for them yeah i want to see i want to

53:15Big Cat:know more about what happened to them this year because i asked some of the guys around the office that are epl fans like can you describe what happened and it was just all some form of like you know how like american soccer fans start to speak with a british accent when they talk about soccer yeah they're like it's just a bottling they're just bottling they bottled it they just

53:32PFT Commenter:bottled so many times over and over. It's been bottled. What do you find in there? I'm trying to figure out if they're in the Champions League. They might have been. They were. They're in. So they're out, though, because I think we're past the round of 16. But they were. Yeah, that counts. Yeah, they this is going to be very embarrassing for them. The only reason I don't want to get involved is I feel like they're going to find a way to pull through. And that will suck. Yeah, I want to get involved and be like fuck i mean there's just so much money at stake that it's hard to believe that i want to i want to see it happen but i don't want to see i don't want to see us get embarrassed and have them be able to turn it on us they probably will pull up the table again pull up the uh the current table right now they got to play the wolves yeah leads everton everton's bad too uh all right so so they're playing the wolves who are last so that should be yeah i don't know i don't know i'm trying to do quick math here i'm gonna say i'm gonna say they're not gonna get relegated same epl rigged west ham is also involved rigged i'm gonna say the relegation discussion they're not gonna get relegated it's probably gonna be west ham's having a nice year west ham is probably gonna get yeah relegated not in them forests okay i like that though this is a good topic we'll keep we will be updating it and by updating it zach can you please let us know

54:59Big Cat:I can do that. Send a group text every single time Tottenham plays.

55:04PFT Commenter:That was talking soccer.

55:05Big Cat:Okay. What do we think of Tottenham? There's shite in it. Shite in it. What do we think of shit? Shite. Wait. Tottenham. Are you a... What's up? Are you an EPL fan?

55:15PFT Commenter:I dabble. And what's your team? Chelsea. We're six on the table right now. Okay, nice. Zach. Why did you chime in? I did. What do we think of Tottenham? Shit.

55:24Big Cat:Shit. What do we think of shit? Tottenham. There we go. Is that an actual chant? Yeah. That's fucking soccer.

55:28PFT Commenter:Yeah.

55:29Big Cat:Yes, sir.

55:29PFT Commenter:I like it. It's a good chant. How's Chelsea doing? They're six, so they got to climb up? I don't believe so.

55:39Big Cat:Are you watching games? We lost four to the last five. What's up? Are you watching games? I'm more so in chat. I do clips from my little brother. He watches full games, gives me spark notes. That's efficient. Some of the games are early. Some of the games are like. Oh, yeah, that's not you.

55:52PFT Commenter:Yeah, you can't. I'll say it.

55:53Big Cat:I'll say it. Zach, you can't be doing that. When is Tottenham's next game? That would be 2 p.m.

56:00PFT Commenter:You want to say day?

56:02Big Cat:Oh. 2 p.m. Saturday.

56:04PFT Commenter:Oh, okay.

56:05Big Cat:That's not Tottenham. That's Chelsea. I thought we were talking Chelsea. We were talking Chelsea, to be fair.

56:10PFT Commenter:But also just saying 2 p.m.

56:12Big Cat:Also it's pronounced Tottenham. Well, I thought we were talking about timing-wise to see if Zach... Oh, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. And what city is Tottenham in? Tottenham is in Manchester. That's right. The 18th. The 18th?

56:24PFT Commenter:Yes, sir.

56:24Big Cat:Give me a day. Oh, gotcha. The week. Or Saturday, 11.30 a.m. against Brighton. 11.30 Central Time. All right, so you will update us. Okay. I can do it, yeah.

56:33PFT Commenter:All right, we're on Tottenham Watch.

56:34Big Cat:We're on Relegation Watch. And they're playing against Brightonton? Yeah. Brighton, that's correct. Those are the Seagulls, right? Can you tell me what I say about Brighton? Like, up the Brights? What do we say? Bright up? Come on, you Brights. Bright them if you got them. Yeah, bright them if you got them.

56:49PFT Commenter:I like it. I think they're the... Yeah, they're the goals. The Seagulls. You don't see a lot of seagulls in terms of mascots. But that's bright. Yeah. And you know there's a shitload of seagulls there. That's the Albion. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Good bird. Yeah. Okay. Let's do who's back of the week. It is brought to you by our friends at Twisted Tea.

My Who's Back of the Week is the Biebs. Justin Bieber, Coachella Bieber-chella I forgot that Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry were dating Like the most hateable couple of all time

57:58Big Cat:But they're so relatable that they're at a concert together Yeah She had that shirt about vapes too Yeah What did it say? It said, if I ask you If I hit your vape, please say no or something like that Classic Along those lines That's very cool Classic It's very cool because she's like, what, 24? 23? How old is Katy Perry? she's old i'm trying to it said please do not give me a rip of your vape no matter what i say and katie perry age on the other hand oh she's 41 okay okay cool okay definitely goes in the

58:34PFT Commenter:running theme of of you know growing with the show and being washed but i i realized this weekend like there's nowhere that looks more appealing to be at than the masters and there's nowhere that looked less appealing to be at than Coachella. Coachella was tough. It just looks like hell. Yeah, I agree.

58:55Big Cat:I think it's probably my age, but the last five years, the last six years, I don't like crowds anywhere. I just don't like being in crowds. Yeah. I'd rather just sit at home. Sitting at home is so much better than being a place that everybody wants to be in a crowd.

59:12PFT Commenter:Sitting at home and listening to music rocks.

59:14Big Cat:Yeah.

59:14PFT Commenter:But yeah, I guess because he sold all of his catalog. So there, I guess, might have been some technicalities with him not being able to perform old music. So he treated the concert like it was a Twitch stream where he was just sitting on a laptop pulling up old clips and then singing along to basically old clips of him singing songs. Very, very different concert.

59:39Big Cat:It sounds like he might not have wanted to Pay a DJ or band to play with him Well I don't think he was like

59:47PFT Commenter:Somehow he doesn't have the rights to his own music But he can Be like if we did the live show, our live show in LA

59:54Big Cat:Yeah

59:55PFT Commenter:If we just pulled up Instagram clips of ourselves And just played those Not a bad idea

1:00:02Big Cat:Yeah it's gonna feel easy 30 minutes

1:00:06PFT Commenter:Yeah Chella But not for any of us. We should send Zach as a correspondent next year. That actually would be good. If he came back.

1:00:15Big Cat:Max Hayes also in and memes.

1:00:17PFT Commenter:Oh, okay. Whole booth? Whole booth goes to Chella? I'll film Max and Zach. I'll put on outfits. I don't hate that idea. Would you rather go to Chella or Burning Man? They're totally different. For sure. Yeah. Coachella. They couldn't be more different. For sure, Coachella. Yeah, Coachella is like an influencer event. Coachella, you get lost.

1:00:35Big Cat:You can find your way back. Zach, you get lost at Burning Man. You might be out there forever. Yeah, if any brains out there want to send Zach an eye next, we'll go.

1:00:41PFT Commenter:Isn't Coachella just in Palm Springs, California?

1:00:43Big Cat:Yes, sir.

1:00:43PFT Commenter:Yeah, it's like a beautiful place. Burning Man's in the middle of a desert. Isn't Palm Springs in the middle of a desert? I mean, a desert. In Palm Springs. It's a beautiful place. It's like where people go on vacation. So I think Coachella's like very fancy. Glamping and all that shit. No one's roughing it at Coachella. No. Yeah. I saw my quarterback was there with the Kardashians, but I did also then. That's cool. Yeah. Someone. I laughed at this because it's like too much information. Shout out Ross Reed. He was on top of it. He said, Kill Bloom has been going to Coachella on behalf of Neutrogena for years now since his NIL deal.

1:01:24PFT Commenter:When he goes, he sits in their section. Those Kardashian gender ladies also have partnership with that company. Let's wrap this up and keep it moving, folks. Shout out that guy. I saw the picture. I was like, oh, no. And then Ross Reed came to the rescue. He was like, dude, don't worry about it. Got it. Done. So Coachella, Bieber. Bieber-chella. Bieber-chella. Is he back? I think Biebs is back. I mean, the hype. People were hyped.

1:01:52Big Cat:People were so hyped. Bieber never left, though. You can't be back if you never left.

1:01:58PFT Commenter:That's fair.

1:01:58Big Cat:Didn't he try and do a tour a year ago and couldn't sell tickets and had to cancel it? Yeah, he did run into a little bit of debt with Scooter Braun, but that's why you sold the Masters for$200 million.

1:02:07PFT Commenter:Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, he just sold himself to get out of debt? $200 million. What did our Masters go for? We're not allowed to do that. Let's do that. Yeah. That's a baller move. Mm-hmm. Okay. PFT, who's your who's back?

1:02:23Big Cat:My who's back is maybe Alexander Ovechkin. Oh. He might be back. So I've been assuming that he's going to retire all season. I think a lot of people have been assuming that he's going to retire at the end of the season. And then today, the Caps played against the Penguins, beat the Penguins 3-0, and the Penguins lined up in a cool gesture. They wanted to shake Ovi's hand because it might be the last time that they play him. and Ovi waved them off the ice and said, no, go, go, leave. Not accepting the final handshake. When horse hands go up, does that mean that Ovi's coming back for another year next year?

1:02:58Big Cat:I think he might. I think if we make the playoffs, he might be back next year. I'm excited about that.

1:03:05PFT Commenter:Are you close to making the playoffs?

1:03:06Big Cat:Yeah, well, if we win one game, if we beat the Blue Jackets and then Max loses the next two games. So Max would no longer be flired up. Max would have to play the Hurricanes, and then who else do you play? The Canadians. Yeah, so two good teams. But they're not playing for – the Canadians might not be playing for anything.

1:03:22PFT Commenter:They're tanking. Resting. Maybe positioning. Positioning is what they call it in hockey. I like that. Yeah, yeah. It's not tanking in hockey. It's positioning. No, the Canadians are good.

1:03:33Big Cat:Playoff positioning. Oh, playoff positioning for them.

1:03:35PFT Commenter:But who – the Hurricanes, would that be – that would be tanking or no?

1:03:38Big Cat:I believe Hurricanes are good.

1:03:39PFT Commenter:Hurricanes are awesome.

1:03:40Big Cat:All right, so – oh, yeah, the Hurricanes are really good. Yeah, Hurricanes are maybe probably going to win the Stanley Cup. I'm saying good in their seating, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're positioned. They're set. They're positioned.

1:03:48PFT Commenter:The Hurricanes are as positioned as you could get. They've been positioned.

1:03:52Big Cat:Yeah. They're just chilling right inside the Cape Verde Islands, just ready to strike. So they're just doing position. I think there is a 45 % chance the Caps make the playoffs this year. Incorrect. Wow. I said, I think, Max. But, I mean, there's odds. There are percentages.

1:04:14PFT Commenter:I said I think. You're a point back and the Flyers have two games left.

1:04:19Big Cat:Two games left.

1:04:20PFT Commenter:And you have one game left. We have one game.

1:04:21Big Cat:Yeah. There's a chance that we make the playoffs. And there's also a chance that Ovi comes back. And I realized this last week because he's played pretty good. And it would just be awesome to see the Caps play against the Penguins in the playoffs one more time. That would be great. He's all Flyered up, though. He's flired up, but there's plenty of time to be flired up. Three things have to happen. Percentages alone, that's not 45%. You need to be focused on having... You need to win, the Flyers need to lose, and the Flyers need to lose. Yeah. How was that 50-50? That's three things.

1:04:52PFT Commenter:Three things have to happen. I know some people like the setup for the NHL playoffs. I think it's so stupid. I don't get it at all. Well, I get it. I just think it's stupid. It's stupid because you just have teams that shouldn't be playing in the first round playing in the first round. Like the Western Conference, the Central, all three teams are awesome. And the Stars are going to play the Wild in the first round. Yeah, I don't like it either. It's crazy. It makes no sense.

1:05:19Big Cat:I don't like it either.

1:05:20PFT Commenter:Like I get it. It makes it so there's rivalries and you're playing familiar teams. But I just don't understand how you can have an entire 82-game season and then have the second and third best teams in the Western Conference have to play in the first round.

1:05:37Big Cat:It's a fucked up system, I agree. That's stupid. In this case, I would love to see a Caps-Penguins first round season. Yeah. Just because it would just be a complete nostalgia fest for me. But I think, Max, I personally think there's a 45 % chance the Caps make the playoffs. You can think what you want. You should be focused on... I don't think this is a thinking.

1:05:59PFT Commenter:You should be focused on... It's a statistical thing. Yes. On having six. It's 100 % statistical. But let them think. Yeah. You know, 110 at Augusta, and the Caps are going to make the playoffs.

1:06:10Big Cat:I said 45 % chance the Caps make the playoffs. Yeah. There is a chance. That was too high of a percentage.

1:06:18PFT Commenter:You went too high for percentage.

1:06:19Big Cat:What would you give it?

1:06:20PFT Commenter:It's probably like a... 33? I was like 25. 33 is... And 33 is generous?

1:06:26Big Cat:Because, I don't know, there's three things, so I'm just... One out of three, 33.

1:06:31PFT Commenter:We're not math guys. Yeah. Never were. But yeah, NHL playoffs starting this weekend as well. We get them both. Okay, my who's back of the week. I get two. First is the Badgers. Doubly, both ways. One, because they broke my heart on Saturday. I watched almost four full games of the hockey team this year. They lost in the championship game in the Frozen Four. Up 1-0 for 50 minutes of the game. Denver and the announcers, Boudreaux, credit to him. He kept on saying, like, this is what the Denver does. is what they do and then that's exactly what they did they scored two goals in the last 10 minutes and won the national championship and then the badgers have not fired but kind of maybe fired uh our ad uh chris mcintosh he's getting a a newly appointed job a brand new job at the big 10 they just made it out of thin air and uh so now i get a new ad which is the job don't know but it's it's never good when you're like i'm leaving this job for a job that was just created yeah Special envoy.

1:07:35Big Cat:Great. Special envoy to the big time.

1:07:36PFT Commenter:Has not been good the last few years. And so maybe we get an AD who can fix some things. Maybe get an AD who respects podcast money because that's the kind of weirdest thing about, well, there's a lot of things. I'm a small piece of Wisconsin and all this stuff going on. But I've offered to pay NIL money and no one's followed up with me for like anything. like multiple times asked they just don't have their shit together it's crazy like again maybe they don't respect podcast money and they're like oh this guy doesn't you know he can't pay us in board apes but you'd think that someone would follow up with me someone would be like hey remember when you said you wanted to give money I have said it to the football team and the basketball team this is what we call in the biz a hot lead

1:08:23Big Cat:if you're a salesperson that is a hot inbound lead

1:08:26PFT Commenter:talk to a friend of mine who maybe played in the NBA who also played for the Badgers and he's like same thing kind of happened to me. Damn. Was it Kaminsky? I'm not going to say names after his birthday. I'm not going to say names, but it's crazy. How do you not? We just don't have. We haven't had our shit together. It sounds like years.

1:08:45Big Cat:Wisconsin needs a Salesforce subscription. I don't think they have one.

1:08:49PFT Commenter:I hope they make me say no for the vacant AD job. I will say no, but I hope they make me say no. That'd be kind of cool. just if they just called just knowing i'd say no but just just so i could say no the thing is you wouldn't say no i would definitely say no this is probably the last job imagine the amount of paperwork you have to fucking fill out for that job if they told you you could live in chicago

1:09:10Big Cat:still do the show no but also be ad no because i would i people would be so mad at me because then

1:09:16PFT Commenter:yeah i'd be blamed for everything and again the paperwork think about the paperwork there's so much paperwork you have to do yeah like constant um also uh who's back the week the nfl draft because it's coming up and we now have the thing that every insider knew for the last six months but somehow we didn't know is the general nfl public and then every insider says well everyone knew it why is it a big deal and i'm talking about reuben bain which seems like a pretty big deal because apparently he was in a car accident two years ago and someone died yeah pretty serious

1:09:51Big Cat:thing then then to get lectured about how everybody already knew about this when everybody

1:09:55PFT Commenter:was like wait what what isn't your job as insiders to tell us yes like what how how is it that everyone is everyone in the nfl media circles be like yeah we knew that every team knew that okay well then tell us i don't even understand how this story never made any news

1:10:12Big Cat:it's pretty crazy it's crazy i was kept in-house and then i i did a little bit of reading about it And it sounds like the family of the person who passed away has no ill will towards Ruben Bain. Like they're wishing the best for him. But still, like all this is a lot to process. Yeah. And it seemed like, yeah, maybe NFL teams knew about it for the last couple months. But I don't think anybody else did.

1:10:33PFT Commenter:Well, isn't the job of the insiders to tell us?

1:10:35Big Cat:Yeah.

1:10:36PFT Commenter:I don't know. It's just a very weird story and a very serious story. But this is the news. This is what happens right before the NFL draft is we start hearing about stuff that then every person in league circles like, yeah, everyone knew this.

1:10:54Big Cat:Okay, great. Tell us. Now, I don't think that like the NFL is just about getting guys that can play football. Yeah. I think at the end of the day, they don't really care unless like if he went to court and he was like, my arms are too short to reach the steering wheel. Yeah. Then they'd be like, hmm, don't know if we got room for you. Yeah. But if you're a productive football player, they don't give a fuck about any of the alleged red flags. Yeah.

1:11:17PFT Commenter:Yeah. Okay.

1:11:19Big Cat:Is it 4 a.m.? Yeah. Core accident. No breathalyzer.

1:11:23PFT Commenter:The whole story is weird. I mean, this poor girl died. She was in a coma and then died. It's crazy. It's crazy that we are just finding out about this now. But again, apparently everyone else knew. Mm-hmm.

1:11:38Big Cat:So, Zach. My Who's Back this week is honorary statues because we had another all-time blunder. Yes. And it feels like we're just on a hot streak of the honorary statues never going good.

1:11:48PFT Commenter:Yeah.

1:11:50Big Cat:King Griffey rips the tarp off. Ichiro, bat, shattered. Shattered. The bat was pretty bad. It looked sad. It looked like a sad baseball bat. Yeah. Very sad. It looked like ED. It looked like, yeah. Actually, yeah, the bat honestly looked like we needed to see Alice. Yes. Big time. Great comms.

1:12:05PFT Commenter:Big time.

1:12:06Big Cat:What was that word you said? Oh, that was good comms. I didn't mean to say that out loud, but it's good communication. You put out some good communication to me. I'll never say that again. I'm sorry.

1:12:19PFT Commenter:No, I want you to speak like a gamer, but that's what you guys say to each other? Yeah, it's good comms.

1:12:24Big Cat:Yeah, like good comms. Road.co. That's one of Zach's most used words. Yeah, I know. He says it all the time.

1:12:31PFT Commenter:For some reason in that, yeah, we were just having a conversation.

1:12:35Big Cat:Yeah, I didn't mean for that to make it to the airwaves. You and I had a little bad comms over the weekend on Friday. I wonder if we'd like to unpack this a little bit. We can. Zach and I had a bad back and forth. That was bad. You guys had bad comms? We had really bad comms on Friday. Zach got a little casual with me over a text message. Accidentally, extremely casual. Yeah. Way accidentally, though. What happened? It's not fair you're framing this PFT. Okay, it is fair. No, I agree with him, Zach. It's not fair.

1:13:06PFT Commenter:Is he trying to do gotcha culture? No, it was just a little casual.

1:13:08Big Cat:No, I had a miss. It was just a mistype. But also the way PFT ended things off, I thought about it all weekend. Did you really? You left me hanging there. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you think about it all weekend. Read it. Was it the group text? No. No. So we were just trying to decide where to hang some things up. And he gave me some direction. Incidentally, I just said, K sounds good. And then I replied quickly to let him know, swear I was trying to type OK, not K. Wasn't okay, not a K in text. Wasn't okay. And then he just capital K-ed me. Oh, no. Yeah, so Zach accidentally said K instead of okay.

1:13:45Big Cat:But then like wrote a paragraph explaining how he meant to type the O before the K, but he didn't. Because K can be like pissed off. And then he didn't mean for a second. I'll fire off a K when I'm upset. So I had no choice at that point but to respond to that text with K.

1:13:58PFT Commenter:Yeah.

1:13:59Big Cat:That was the only thing I could do, Zach. Now, thinking back, that doesn't make a lot more sense. But in the moment, I was worried. I was like, I can't let him think I'm just K-ing him. I would never, you know?

1:14:08PFT Commenter:Sometimes people think if you write OK that that's being too short. Well, no. So I think if you ranked it, it would be. Which I think is bullshit. I think K, well, yeah, you get that from people in the office, right? Even Max. Max was saying it at one point. I think lowercase K is OK. I think OK is OK. OK period is bad. Yeah. K capital is bad. I think lowercase K is bad. No, low case K, you're just on the go.

1:14:36Big Cat:Yeah, that's like a quick test. Okay.

1:14:38PFT Commenter:You can hit one other fucking button.

1:14:41Big Cat:You know what the worst is?

1:14:41PFT Commenter:Yeah, when you're mad at someone like you do.

1:14:43Big Cat:The worst is O-K-A-Y, period. That's the worst.

1:14:48PFT Commenter:I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that.

1:14:50Big Cat:If you get that, you're fucked.

1:14:53PFT Commenter:What's worse, okay or got it? Was it got it or gut it? Got it. Gut it is the most, you don't gut it.

1:15:02Big Cat:It should just always be okay sounds good Okay sounds good should just always be the answer

1:15:07PFT Commenter:Or just sounds good You can just get rid of the okay Okay period is I'm pissed at you Yeah Hank does it all the time I do not do period Period is like really pissed It's like hey this is the plan I say okay It's a really fucked up word Max is right You're pissed about that When you say okay, like, hey, here's the plan, you say okay. What if I said okay, exclamation point? Yeah, that's cool. That would be fine. Yeah, exclamation point helps. Or just say sounds good. I guess I could say sounds good. That's a lot of typing. Sounds good might get you for people. Yeah, I think that would probably clear up half your relationships if you just do sounds good.

1:15:50PFT Commenter:I guess.

1:15:52Big Cat:Does anybody have any idea where okay came from? I think it's the band that ran on the Okay go It's just weird that we got a word that's like Alright But it's just two letters and those two letters Make a word Yeah fucking you up now I don't want to think about that Where does language come from

1:16:14PFT Commenter:Humorous intentional misspelling of all correct What? But that's not

1:16:21Big Cat:O is not all and K is not correct

1:16:24PFT Commenter:Alright hold on

1:16:25Big Cat:It first appeared in print on March 23rd in the Boston Morning Post. English word. As part of a fad for using abbreviations.

1:16:35PFT Commenter:Most modern references works hold their originator around Boston as part of a fad in the late 1830s. Yeah. And all correct. O-L-L correct. That's a misspelling of all correct. That's weird. Huh. Yeah, Hank, stop doing okay to people. Got it. There you go. Nice. Sounds good. Sounds good is all you need. Yeah. Here's the plan. Yeah. See, K is actually better. I think K is better than okay from coming from you. Okay. Sounds good. Yeah. Okay. Sound terrible. I can tell how angry you are with just that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not. Zach, do you have any others that you were saving?

1:17:31Big Cat:The others I just had were Caleb not focusing on football, me and Coachella, and JB going $10 million for two weekends.

1:17:37PFT Commenter:Did you not research about Neutrogena?

1:17:43Big Cat:Neutrogena?

1:17:43PFT Commenter:Yeah. In the NIL deal he had?

1:17:46Big Cat:I thought we were researching the probe this week. Okay.

1:17:51PFT Commenter:Oh, the space probe?

1:17:52Big Cat:No, the NFL probe, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds good. Was that the wrong project? No, no, that's fine. How's the probe going? The probe's not going good. There's some conflicting information on the probe being like who started the probe and why it's there. Okay. There's a couple of working theories that you guys want to know? Yeah, sure. The probe could be due. You want to say what the probe is? So the probe is the Department of Justice meddling around in the NFL's inner workings. And they're saying they're doing it because of like, not poor work conditions, but like violations of federal labor laws and work discrimination like practices but i really think it's more about the money i think they're trying to get in there on the tv rights yeah and they're saying it's not really the doj that wants to do it it's more so

1:18:39PFT Commenter:one of the one of the big rich families got it okay that being the murdoch family ah okay now we're getting somewhere so like inside nfl guys are saying could be the murdochs

1:18:51Big Cat:because they own Fox. That's why the story was in the Wall Street Journal the other day. Okay. And there's another spin zone where it's like back in the day, the current guy who runs the whole country tried to get a team. They wouldn't let him get a team. So this is just him maybe trying to get his get back for past wrongdoings. So there's a couple of different angles. Okay. Hot seat Pablo Torre. Because I think Zach just got to the bottom of this. So it should take a couple of months. We always got to just follow the money. That's really good investigative journalism, Zach.

1:19:23PFT Commenter:Big time. Good job, Zach. Okay, should we get our interview with Scott Van Pelt from the airport? Tradition unlike any other. Let's do it.

1:20:46PFT Commenter:okay we now welcome on a very very very very very special guest it is our favorite master's tradition it is scott van pelt scotty to hottie from the augusta airport after being at augusta for the last week five days seven days i don't even know how long you're there do you live there i got i got here a week ago sunday so it's been this has been a prolonged stay in augusta okay beautiful and we were troubleshooting we had some issues with the cameras before i'm happy you can now see us because we came locked and loaded this year we brought our own tech big texas uh for everyone we have a huge box of them here you go big get you got a little yep i got a bunch of them look at these baddies right here this is the sign that we have got a new green jacket winner which actually this year we don't we have the same green jacket winner scott tell us everything how how was how was today how was this week rory we're not rory fans but you can sell us on rory yeah i i was i was following you today and i saw that you were not rooting for rory i'll be honest i i i was rooting for justin rose just because i want him to win one and rory already has one like the thing about this place is if you come here all you can think is i want to keep getting to come back here every spring because it's just it's awesome and the people are great and it's the you know the traditions and all that so i was pulling for justin just because i feel like he's been so close and it feels like you know karma or something maybe not it's not owed one but i wanted him to win but i mean roy's an awesome player and we should love great things and he's great so uh you know he made history last year he made history again you'll forgive me i'm just sitting in the snack room here yes in the break room yes um i'm gonna to get comfy um so but why weren't you rooting for him big cat did you have giant futures on somebody else no honestly well there's it was two part one is um i've just never been a rory guy i think it's the you know partially rider cup partially just you know i we're big believers on this show i think there's some people who watch golf and they they kind of root for whoever ends up winning they're just like oh what an accomplishment i like to treat golf like it's actually you know almost a team sport where it's like you have your guys you don't and you have guys you don't like rory's been always in the don't like and then especially today and i i want you to tell us what it felt like but there was a moment where it was like there could be a five player playoff here and i think we all were kind of rooting for that and we were rooting for scotty at least bare minimum scotty and rory to be in a playoff so it was partially that where it's like this is going to be great we're going to get bonus golf all these guys have caught up and then he rory was able to just kind of put him away and never really sweat down the last three holes that's all fair and i mean the thing that's so different about this year and last year's is okay had he not won last year then today everyone would have everyone would have been filled with dread and angst and like oh my god this poor guy can't do it and he's never going to win how's he going to blow it but since he had a green jacket all of that was gone and so the fact that a six shot lead from saturday morning was had evaporated totally different feel and you're right i mean as as the day plays out it feels like here we go right you know all these different players involved hatton and henley and morikawa awesome job by him battling through a back injury and scotty's lurking scotty was 12 shots back before saturday started and you're thinking he's out no chance he finishes a shot out in the end but it was kind of like it was close but kind of fake close you know what i mean like we we we never got that sense of here we go man we're going to be playing five wide into darkness and the thing that i think most people want is you know they used to say ken venturi famously said you know the masters doesn't start till the back nine on sunday well you know now it's second nine thank you and we're on the second at nine and you're waiting for fireworks and they didn't happen they really didn't come today and so I think it's I guess it's disappointing just because you just want to see the fireworks you want to see you know somebody hole one from hoop one from 30 feet away or knock one close for a birdie and if Rory makes that one on excuse me if um if Scotty makes the one on 12 then Rory has to play a team with a totally different feeling and it just didn't happen uh it almost reminded how Tiger won tournaments so many times where he would get a lead and then other guys just fell off and it lacked that incredible drama late but that's just a credit to the fact that Rory played better than they did and they just couldn't they couldn't encroach on the guy and Rose made a couple of costly bogeys and wasn't able to get back to to the top like he did a year ago yeah

1:25:40Big Cat:I've got an impossible question for you to answer but I'm going to ask it anyway okay the impossible question if rory didn't win last year do you think he would have been able to hang on through the last three holes this year no i agree i don't i really don't and i'll tell you why like there's a there's a now i'm in like a work area i'm just i'm in a new i'm in a new fb i'm in a new fbo i'm lost i might just if i wander into like i might be in the tarmac in a minute i don't know what the fuck I'm doing um uh I don't think he would have um PFT because I think that there's he had this freedom of and he said it Saturday like I gotta I gotta remind myself that I'm still tied for the lead and I have a green jacket and then he's like a little bit of a flex you know I have to remind myself that I have a green jacket which I do you know and it's he gets to go to the champions locker room last night he knows he's good and i i think if he had to knowing it's scotty and it's a one-shot lead and he's never won here and he's trying to finish the career grand slam no i and that's not a knock on him that's just an acknowledgement of how heavy the weight would have been if he didn't win last year yeah yeah yeah so last year was really worth two

1:26:56PFT Commenter:yeah and i i don't know if you saw this i mentioned it because we already taped the beginning of the show but like I felt like the pace that Rory played with because he got in a couple tough spots but he didn't really stand over a lot of shots he was kind of just kept on moving along you could see that confidence in him of like I know what I'm doing and maybe it's because he by all accounts he played Augusta 75 times in the last month and a half yeah he he spent a bunch of time up here and I mean I think he acknowledged as much like drop his daughter off to school hop on the pj fly up play around come back for dinner I mean and by the way like I think people hear that and they're like well why should he get to do that like well Justin Thomas came up here and played practice rounds too I mean it's not like it's he got some special perk that other players wouldn't have gotten but yeah I mean he spent a he spent a ton of time here and he knows it well I mean he's been playing it for years since 2009 as a pro so um there's uh i mean there's a lot that was cooked into today uh and look ultimately he had a two-shot lead he had a green jacket and he could play it up this wrong side of 18 and still win my guy andy north was like i don't know what he's doing hitting a driver but it didn't cost him um and i mean it's it's a different relief like a different joy um but now he's got six and you talk about a flex like you go into the butler cabin and the chairman puts the jacket on you because there's i won like give me my coat back you know yeah yeah yeah and by the way we also mentioned the i think people are put off by the uh private jet part of it but it's no like if you said that that was kobe bryant kobe bryant a story like that comes out about kobe or mj everyone's like oh my god that's mama mentality they just want it more They went up there every day in practice.

1:28:45PFT Commenter:So it's like, yeah, he has the ability to do it. Why wouldn't he become the most prepared golfer for this tournament? So he has six. It's a cheap day after radio trick that I'm sure you've done in your career. Over under eight and a half majors for Rory. Three more? Three more. He may never lose Augusta again. yeah Fred Kuppel said he's gonna win them all yeah from now on uh three is a lot man I mean he didn't win any for more than a decade now he's won this two in a row three seems like a lot eight feels like a eight feels like a healthy number okay I'm not rooting against I'm not rooting against them winning 10 I don't I mean go get them but I just think it's a winning ones is a lot man like three that's half of what he's got in his whole career that seems like too many to me okay Okay, follow-up question.

1:29:37PFT Commenter:Who ends up with more, Scotty or Rory? I think Scotty's about to turn 30. Rory's 36. I think, I mean, what's Scotty got? He's got two of these and the Open Championship. He's got four, I believe. Yeah. Yeah, he's got four. Yeah. So he's got, and he'll go to Shinnecock with a chance to finish the slam if he wins the U.S. Open. So he's got four. I mean, Scotty just has more runway. so he's you know if he's is he six years younger so that's 24 more majors that's I'll take I'll take Scotty I'm just trying to be hot take Scott yeah hot take Scotty yeah well I mentioned too like it it is sometimes golf especially the masters is kind of it's not easy but now we're at a spot where four out of the last five masters champions are Scotty or Rory and those are the two best golfers in the game and those are the two guys that will probably define the post tiger era the most and they're dominating this tournament i agree but it's like it's still and rory said this tonight he said i tried to tell myself the reason this was so hard last year is because i was trying to complete the slam but i what i realized now is it's just really hard to win this tournament and i'd say the reason there's a million reasons part of it's the golf course and how it kind of sets up in a way that brings many players into the mix.

1:30:57It always happens. Happened again today. But it's how many guys play it really well. Justin Rose has had so many close chances. You know, Cameron Young's not going to go away. Colin Morikawa, battle throwback, he's here in the mix. And on down the line, there's just so many players. And I said, you know, before this week, give me an outlier. Give me, you know, someone who's a dark horse. And it's like, why bother with that? It's not going to be someone that's some off-the-grid player. Your leaderboard on Sunday is going to look like what you think it's going to look like. I just don't know what the order is.

1:31:32And that's what there's like. When we go to Shinnecock, when you go to the Open Championship, when we go to the PGA in Philly next week, shout out to Max.

1:31:42If there's an outlier, it wouldn't surprise me. But here, I feel like it's almost always going to be this type of player.

1:31:50Big Cat:Yeah, it delivers. And you were talking about the gap that Rory had in between. So he won a bunch up until 2014, then nothing until 2025. Now he's won the last two matches in a row. Is his game completely different right now than it was three years ago? He just hits the ball so fucking far. I mean, he just – and the issue, he was crooked a lot this week. He didn't hit a lot of straight drives. But when he does, my God, he hits it 340. um he's he's his swing and even if you don't like golf a lot like I get you know the AWLs if you don't like golf all right but just watch the dude swing and picture like a perfect like a Ken Griffey Jr.

1:32:31baseball swing like it's perfectly on balance there's so much power it's I just I marvel watching the guy hit the ball his wedge game for a great player is not great but his short game this week was insane um so i think i mean pft you're asking like what's better at the moment i think he's he's he just hits the ball so freaking far and he was a little wayward this week but when he's

1:32:55PFT Commenter:straight i mean good luck yeah how how much uh how much potential ad dollars did major league baseball lose out on with cam young not winning uh i have no idea ask is get ravelle on ravelle He knows that. The MLB patch is so funny on his collar. It just makes me laugh every single time. Listen, I get a kick out of that because I know all the agents, all these guys have been friends forever, and I always love to look at like, all right, we got one here, we got one here. I mean, it's just you're a human signage, right? Like each spot is a place you could throw something. I mean, grab that cash. I got no problem with it.

1:33:34Big Cat:Yeah, it was very funny. I think it was when he won at the Players, and he was wearing like a light blue shirt with the MLB logo, and he actually looked like an umpire. Like that should be his Sunday outfit. It's like his umpire Sunday time. Yeah. Yeah. There were some – I feel like there was an NFL team at one point that sponsored a PGA golfer too. Payne Stewart. Payne Stewart back in the day, he used to wear the colors on Sunday of the closest home team to where he played, and he actually did that during a stretch when he was playing great in major championships. that's actually a great sponsorship yeah yeah i love that i love that a lot um also scott i was reading a story i didn't realize this but at augusta we were talking earlier about how uh mark kalkovecchi got escorted off the grounds um for smuggling in a cell phone um i guess first first question is just what was your reaction to that what was uh word around augusta i mean you're not supposed to have one i say that as someone who's allowed to have one so i it kind of you know you're not supposed to do it.

1:34:35And so the minute you pull out your phone, buddy, you're taking your badge into your own hands. And so, I mean, yeah, it was the kind of thing that people were like, damn, can you believe Calc got kicked out? And it's like, well, I mean, yeah. I've said all week, when people come here, they just kind of know how to act. And, I mean, I get it. Is it a big deal in the grand scheme of things? No, not really. But at Augusta, unless you have one of these little orange things on the back of your phone that's like a little sticker, then you're not meant to have one. And, you know, because I'm in media and I'm theoretically, I mean, I need one to, you know, watch TikTok videos and stuff like that.

1:35:16PFT Commenter:And like follow along for me not rooting against. Yeah, you need to log on to Twitter. Yeah. I need to know who Big Cat's futures are, who he's rooting for, things of that nature.

1:35:26Big Cat:Yeah, that was going to be the second part of my question, which I read that you are allowed to have a phone. So I'm wondering, does that come with any, like, do you have any guilt, the fact that you're allowed to be having a phone or does it, do you feel awesome? Like I'm above everybody else here because yeah, they let me have my own cell phone. Not above anyone, but even though I know I'm allowed to have it, if I pull it out, I still hide it like Siwoo Kim did when he was smoking at the players. I go somewhere, you know what I mean? I'm not waving it around for all to see just because I don't know.

1:36:01I'm still afraid I'm going to get kicked out, but I don't think I am.

1:36:05PFT Commenter:Scott, how did you cover the Masters all week and you were in Augusta all week, and then you found time to go fix Ichiro's statue? Because I'm a man of the people, Big Cat, and who could get up that high to fix the bat? Only me. I saw that. I meant to send something out about it, but I think I was hosting the Masters, and I didn't get right on it, but eventually I responded. I mean, forever we've done that bit, right? Like, we're in the world, blah, blah, blah. And I mean, after a while, I'm like, maybe we should let that go. But I saw that guy, and I was like, Jesus Christ, That poor guy looks a lot like me.

1:36:42PFT Commenter:Yeah, he does. By the way, it's also great because you have Steve next to you. Steve, I'm assuming, is listening to this right now on Monday morning. I hope so. If Rory had choked, would it have been the biggest choke since Duke lost that 19-point lead to UConn and Braylon Mullins hit that shot? I mean, I don't want to take shots at my guy Steve in the brotherhood. I mean, the problem for Steve and for Duke is that, like, last year Rory won the Masters so they could just go, and in Duke's case last year they had a big lead against Houston in the Final Four and they lost that. So they kind of have a, they got a bad trend going there.

1:37:24PFT Commenter:Yeah, they're actually, yeah, Rory and Duke are forever intertwined.

1:37:28Big Cat:It's tough to see. Yeah, I imagine, like, you know, sometimes if Big Cat has a tough loss, I'm here with him. And, you know, there's usually like a, I'd say like three or four hour buffer zone before I can really twist the knife too much. Yeah. I know, Scott, you might be the same way about Maryland losses, I've heard. Is Steve the same way about Duke losses? He's fascinating to me because he didn't go there. And it's a thing like with him and his dad. And like he kind of did it to spite his dad. But he, I mean, you'll see it if you, again, social media, I knew you were rooting against Rory. He'll say UConn Moneyline, and he'll tweet North Carolina Moneyline every single time that they play them.

1:38:11And then I'll just say to him, this is what you do. You do this thing. And I call him out on it, and he'll just get defiant. I'm like, no, no, no, they're going to lose. It's a good bet. Yeah, yeah. He always does do that. And I will say, Carolina in Chapel Hill, he was right. And UConn and the NCAA tournament, he was right. So, I mean, he's got a little bit of – he's got some results I suppose he can turn to, but it's just what he does. He becomes the happiness hedge guy, bet against your team, blah, blah, blah. But that's what he does. But I don't heckle. He didn't go there, and I don't want to be a dick.

1:38:49My team lost 21 games this year. Who am I going to make fun of? Yeah.

1:38:53PFT Commenter:There's always a grace period too. I didn't text him for a while, and then once it happens – I mean, he actually was on a group text after Wisconsin lost to High Point. He did not chime in, but someone else did, and that person has been deaded by me. So Steve knows. Steve understands. He's a good fan like that. Right. I mean, if it really hurts you, then just don't – you get that. Your fandom, there should be respect. So I don't make fun. I don't make fun. Scott speaking of Steve he's still a maybe for Max's bachelor party we would like to invite you there's a chance that Kevin Willard will be attending he also has an invite would you like to attend I'm all set I'm good you sure what if we throw in a box of Big Texas I'm all set I hope I wish I wish Max all the happiness in the world I'm good you don't want to go to the sphere?

1:39:52Fuck that guy.

1:39:54PFT Commenter:Max? Yeah, Max. That's Max. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We're good. I mean, it's fine. He knew what he was doing when he took shots. I didn't take any shots. Yeah, you took some shots. I didn't take any shots. Listen, if I was a Maryland fan, I

1:40:12Big Cat:would be pissed at Kevin Willard too. I get why Maryland fans are mad. All I said is that I don't care about Maryland basketball. and I don't care about you or Villanova so it's fine that's great I hope that do we have a don't care off Max it did sound great the way you said it

1:40:33PFT Commenter:nothing like a good old fashioned don't care

1:40:36Big Cat:who cares less isn't that the truth I don't care but twice I don't care twice and louder I don't care

1:40:45PFT Commenter:you guys are basically doing the Twitter, like, you're in my mentions, bro. No, this is... This was Steve's doing.

1:40:53Big Cat:This is the end of Dr. Strangelove when they're in an argument over who's more sorry as they blow up the world. I love it. I love it.

1:41:01PFT Commenter:So I'll put you down as a baby. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, okay. Where is it? Where is it? Is it a cookout or are we going to Vegas? No, we're going to Vegas. We're doing the whole thing. Oh, hold on now. Where are we staying? We're staying at the Wynn. Oh, see, now we're talking. Yeah. Wynn. The weekend of the Kentucky Derby. I love the Wynn. Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do. That steakhouse? SW, that steakhouse? Yes. We've dined there.

1:41:35Big Cat:Scott, can I add in two more words that might be of interest to you? I already said Kevin Willard. High limit gaming. Oh. Spearmint rhino? Oh, no, I can't. I can't. Okay, okay, all right, fair enough. Can I say a story about that? So this is a true story. A friend of mine back in the day when I was like going a lot to Vegas, making poor decisions. This is a true story. A friend of mine was this stuntman guy. He was Ben Affleck's stunt double. And he was this ridiculous like motorcycle rider, handsome guy. It's a long story. Anyway, he was friends, legitimate friends with a dancer at the Rhino.

1:42:11And we went there and we're walking through as you do. and a guy's getting a dance, okay? And this is around the time that I had done a commercial. This is 100 years, it's 25 years ago. I was doing the six o 'clock sports center. And the gist of the ad was, Scott, we want you to host a six o 'clock show. And I'm like, but six o 'clock is dinner time. So that was the tagline, six o 'clock is dinner time. Some guy is sitting there in a chair and this woman has her boobs in his face and I'm walking by and he literally shoves this naked woman out of his lap and says, hey, Scott, what time is dinner time?

1:42:47And I'm like, Jesus Christ. And I literally, I don't break stride, and I'm like, evidently right now. And I just keep going. And I just told my guy, I told my guy, I'm like, I don't think I really can come back here and be just like walking around Gen Pop. So I'll pass on that. But the gaming, I mean, that sounds like a good time. It does, Scott.

1:43:09Big Cat:Was that the room that I met you in Super Bowl week a couple years ago? Yeah. Sat down at the blackjack table. Yes. Split a couple hands and went down like six grand immediately. Well, you have more drugs that you'll offer me. Mushrooms are not drugs. That was great. Yeah. It was a less than subtle attempt to hand off hallucinogenics, which I appreciated a lot. I know.

1:43:36PFT Commenter:Which I had handed off to him because I went to dinner with you, Scott, but I got that Friday guilt of Super Bowl week where I was like, I've got to just go home. So I went and took a red eye and I just handed PFT all my mushrooms. And then like four hours later he sends me a selfie of him smiling ear to ear with Mark Davis walking by. And I was like, all right, it's going well. PFT, I need to ask you a question, PFT, for you. So we had a group, myself, I think it was Rusillo, Long, Steve, Big Cat. And he got the gilts, and he had the Friday night scaries. And so we had a meal going, and he left before, like, he couldn't even offer to pay.

1:44:17No, I think I did.

1:44:19Big Cat:No, you didn't. I'm pretty sure I did. Pretty sure. It was credit card roulette, I think, and your card wasn't even part of it because you left. I just think you got at least half, even, you got a fake offer. I'm not saying you're old, Scott, but I think you're misremembering this. Did he leave after entrees? I'm pretty sure I stayed the whole time. No, he ate. We had desserts where people were feeding each other desserts. I had those. I'm kidding. You left after desserts. The whole meal was served. He ate and left.

1:44:53PFT Commenter:I'm pretty sure I at least fake off. Listen, a guy like Big Guy. But it goes to the big guy. You know, the credit card always goes to the big guy in the room at dinner. If I'm out with the guys in the booth, it's not even a question. Listen, my feeling is if you eat with me, the meal's on me. That's just – I'm paying. But that group insisted on we're going to do credit card. And so as far as I'm concerned, your credit's good with me. You didn't need – I wasn't going to ask you to pay. I'm just saying I felt like when you left before anyone even had a chance to pay, I felt like maybe – I don't know.

1:45:28PFT Commenter:I think you're getting old. I think I did. I think I did. I'm going to have to reconfirm.

1:45:32Big Cat:guy like me i know big cap pretty good at some point in the future he will do the thing where he talks to the waiter like before dinner and he gets the credit card to them so you can offer and then he'll be like it's already taken care of and then you get to get mad at him for paying yeah that's gonna happen to you next time that's the move yeah i gotta go i gotta go to the bathroom and you walk by the bathroom and you just say hey here give me the bill and you just pay for it yeah and you come back and you're like hey when do we get the bill no we're all good we're leaving i

1:45:58PFT Commenter:did that in scottsdale when we had a dinner of like 10 people i was like i'm just not because Because you also get to a point where it's like, we're not going to split this 10 ways. We can't do that. You get to a level of being an adult. We're adults. Yeah, we can't do that. We're adults. We're adults. All right, Scott, I know you got a flight in a second. So I got one last question. I'm sure PFT has a last question too. This is a weird one though. It's the Roback question, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. Promo code TAKE, 20 % off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, Roback.com. Promo code TAKE.

1:46:31PFT Commenter:I don't even know where this came from but I'm going to just read it it's AWL Devin Tyler I guess he's tweeted this at me two days in a row now and it seems like a Berenstain Bears situation he said need help finding an ESPN commercial with SVP my friends and I have quoted this commercial for years 10-15 and have never been able to find it it's with SVP and we think a New York Giants wide receiver and it ends with the wide receiver screaming mama in a puddle on the field. I've reached everywhere and can't find it. Can you please ask SVP to release the files on Sunday? Thank you in advance. Is this a real thing?

1:47:11No, this person is in the middle of like a fever dream. That's what I got to figure.

1:47:17PFT Commenter:But at least we - I don't know. Is that a commercial, just not a Scott Van Pelt commercial? I just saw it. I was like, I have to ask Scott now. I got to help this guy out. He might be going insane. And we're on day two. thankfully we caught it early but if we went like an entire full year till next year and it's like hey i'm looking for this commercial that doesn't exist so you're saying you never did a uh a commercial with the giants wide receiver no i mean i just i mean i know and i did a lot of them and i mean i remember i did six o 'clock is dinner time when like that was way back in the day but a giants wide receiver that yelled mama mama in a puddle on the field i'm really sorry um this doesn't ring a bell of any kind yeah um i wish i could help i wish i had yeah we and here's the thing i got nothing i'm sorry all right they're looking for another this is sports center

1:48:14Big Cat:commercial i think we've got the start of a good one yeah yeah it's yeah no it sounds like a hell of a script we're working with um can i just mention one thing if i just want to say to all of the folks all the awls that that that screamed big texas at me this week it's it's my own version of being max homer with spicy meatball it has reached a level that you cannot comprehend it's all i heard for a week it's like big texas it's incredible and i want you all to see something we've had some bad luck we've had some bad luck but we upped the FBO situation this year I don't know what I gotta do here do I hit the camera?

1:49:00that's like a peepaw I like how Scott is saying

1:49:05PFT Commenter:we've had some bad luck with the big Texas oh there it is we're back we're so back it's F6 and I'm gonna have to purchase just a big texas for the flight and we're going to be dining like an absolute king on the way home but i just want to say so i i mean i i kid you not i wish you all could come here and wander i mean well if they saw you it would be a different thing because they'd freak out because it's you but it's they're just endless hey sunday night big you know big cat pft you got big texas and like yeah yeah i mean i don't know what to say but we got the big texas i feel like that's a good way for some karma to end it, that they're actually, we're back.

1:49:54That is nice.

1:49:55Big Cat:And that's like an impossible thing for you to have a comeback to in a witty way. Like, what are you going to say if they're like, hey, Scott, Big Texas, cinnamon roll, let's go. You pretend to eat? It's not a question, it's a statement, right? It's just, hey, Scott, Big Texas! Yeah! Can't wait. You gotta keep one on you. I mostly say you guys know it's a bit they're kind of they're kind of dense or I'll just say delish and I'll give them like a little chef yeah

1:50:27PFT Commenter:yeah I do like Scott that you're like yeah we've had some bad luck on the big Texas and again like two years ago you came on this show and your house was burning down which thankfully everything's okay now but it does trigger a memory now that that you know on this but we keep it out to Big Texas. Everything's good now. It was literally like three years ago that my phone's ringing and the house was burning to the ground and I was searching for a pastry. Yeah. And the condiment, or whatever the fuck it's called, the thing. Oh, man. A little fried at the end of the week. What the hell is it called?

1:51:09Vending machine. You got it. Jesus Christ.

1:51:15PFT Commenter:For the record, I rest my case in front of the jury that Scott doesn't have a great memory right now when it comes to paying for bills. It's a little concerning. Sir, the client couldn't come up with the name of a vending machine. I didn't. I didn't get it. And maybe, you know what? Maybe I did do a commercial where Mama was saying, and maybe it's full-on, full-blown dementia happening right here for all to see.

1:51:47Big Cat:They're just gaslighting some poor listener of ours. They were right about the Mama commercial. Yeah. A thousand percent it happened. He didn't remember vending machine. I'm pretty sure he can't remember what happened a minute ago. Tell Max I'm in. How about that? We'll come. We'll gamble like maniacs. I love that. I love that. Steve's a maybe as well.

1:52:05PFT Commenter:And so I think we can push the big guy to come to Scott.

1:52:08Big Cat:I got one more question for you because I know, I know every week, every time it's the masters, there's somebody out there that's like, yeah, I could, I could shoot in the 80s at Augusta. I was thinking about it last week and I know that I'm like a little bit delusional, but also I don't think I'm that delusional. I think that people are showing like too much reverence for Augusta and talking about it. like it's Flanders Field in Belgium, and thousands of young men go there every year and never come home. I think that if you gave me 10 tries from the tips at Augusta, I could break 110 on two of those tries.

1:52:48Big Cat:And I'm like an 18 handicap. So I'm not good. So two out of 10 times you're breaking 110. Yeah, that's what I think. I think that my drop dead score, like if I shoot higher than 130, you can kill me. From the championship tees that they played today? Yep. Yes. Yep, from the tips. Is that an insane thing? And you're playing stroke play golf. You're counting every shot. Ball and cup. Ball and cup. You have no chance of doing that. All right. None. What did you shoot, Scott? I broke 100. That's pretty good. but I play but it was but it was uh it was not championship tees you play the member tees here they you're not backing it all the way up because no disrespect to you or me like we're not these guys it's it's so difficult and if you're out of position you're going to make big numbers one I mean if you put it this way no joke being totally serious PFT if you said you know what I'm just going to try to hit seven irons I'm going to try to hit three seven irons get on the green two putt try to make bogeys okay maybe if that's your plan um but i'm telling you it's you're gonna make big numbers and before you know it you're like oh i'm in i i'm really in trouble here and i'm i don't think it's possible so i i would play it in a way to try to like yeah try hit those numbers i would have to get a seven on every par three well if i were to add 53 let's see I'm trying to think what I'd need to average per hole but basically I would try to play it so that I could break 110 and then if I'm breaking 130 then I have to basically average an 8 I have to average a snowman on every hole the problem is you're going to make double digits on a hole I mean Fred Couples made a 9 McIntyre made a 9 on a hole and you know they're them

1:54:43PFT Commenter:yeah but I'm different yeah it's true exactly Like, hey, hey, hey, here's some mushrooms if you want them. Yeah, because tell me when you –

1:54:57Big Cat:Scott, by the way, that was the ultimate morning scariest moment I woke up. I was like, I was so not cool about offering Scott mushrooms last night. It's fine. Everything's good. Everything's good. Hey, look, that was the same night I played blackjack with Chris Long, and he had ace five, and he said, I'm safe. There were a lot of people that were not necessarily of their right mind. I mean, ace five, safe. Safe. I'm safe. Yeah, he was safe. It's important to be safe. It's important to be safe.

1:55:29PFT Commenter:Last follow-up question. So, like, when you play Augusta, because the thing that I back my guy, PFT, because I want to believe in him, but I would say that there's probably a chance that those greens are nothing like anything we've ever seen, where it's like you think you hit one two feet away and it just keeps rolling? Is that fair to say? Right. Yes, I will say this. I didn't three-putt when I played here, which was a bit shocking, but the problem for me was, and I'm not going to do the single worst thing that people do in golf where they take you shot by shot through the round. That guy sucks.

1:56:00Oh, Hank? I'm on seven. I had a little buttercut and I was stuck in the rough and I hit a seven iron. I thought I got there, but I'm in the bunker.

1:56:08Big Cat:Hank's on the edge of his seat, by the way. Please kill me. Yeah. No, Hank wants you here.

1:56:11PFT Commenter:Yeah. Please kill me. But I was constantly on in three, so I'm two-putting for bogey, but I never three-putted. I mean, they're really fast, but the main thing is you just end up in places where there's nothing you can do. You have to be so – you can't putt really aggressively towards the hole because you'll be gone. So, I mean, listen, if your only goal was to break 110, but twice in 10 times, it's so much harder than you think. That's all I can say is it's so much harder than you think.

1:56:45Big Cat:I speak of Augusta with reverence. I respect Augusta National Golf Course, but I think it's gotten too far now where people are doing tricks on it. People are like, you wouldn't break 150. I know some people down here. I'm going to see if we can broker it. They're probably not going to let you go. It probably can't be content, but maybe we can get you down here on the low and see if we make that happen. I have to get on a plane. Yeah, you're going to get on a plane. Scott, you're the best.

1:57:12PFT Commenter:Love you, Scott. Thank you for doing this. The big Texas sign-off. And we'll see you in Vegas. We'll see you in Vegas. We can't wait. Bring your sticks. We're going to play on Sunday. We got a bunch of tee times. All right. Hey, Max, you're the best. Good luck. V for Villanova on the way out for my guy. How about that? Best of luck to Maryland. All right. See you, Scott.

1:59:36PFT Commenter:Okay, let's wrap up the show. By the way, we have the full bracket set now. I know we didn't talk about the West. Okay, season in the Western Conference Finals. So I don't know what the – I don't really know what Denver was doing tonight because they won the game against the Spurs, and they're the three seed, I believe. Is that right? Let's see the actual setup. They are, yeah, they're the three seed, and they're playing the Timberwolves, but now then they would potentially have to play the Spurs. I don't know. It's going to be hard anyway. I think the winner was OKC tonight because Denver, if they had lost tonight, they could have gone down to four.

2:00:26PFT Commenter:Yeah. And then the Thunder would have maybe had to play Denver in the second round. Now the Thunder don't have to meet the Nuggets or Spurs until the Western Conference Final. You don't have to worry about anything. Yeah. Second round Spurs-Nuggets would be awesome. But I'm not going to count out the Timberwolves because I feel like that happens every year. Could second round OKC-Houston be interesting? I think OKC would make light work of that. I think they're better than the Rockets. But yeah. Yeah, well, they're definitely better. I said it would be interesting. Yeah, it would be. Or possibly.

2:01:03PFT Commenter:I can't wait for the Lakers to lose to the Rockets in five games. Everyone would be like, man, that was the best five-game series we've ever seen. It's going to be tough for them to do that if they don't have

2:01:14Big Cat:two of their best players.

2:01:16PFT Commenter:LeBron versus KD, though, will be fun. Nuggets, Timberwolves. that there's like real you know history there the last couple years and then the thunders and spurs will beat whoever comes out of the playing game western conference i mean spurs spurs nuggets second round would be awesome yeah awesome and i feel like they're because wendy they didn't play when like they he played a lot of games but they didn't they had him on a minute restriction and

2:01:47Big Cat:they're going to let him go you know and he might this might be the point of no return for basketball with wimby it's like what do we do to stop this yeah what where are we going from here this might just be like a look into the future like the next 10 years of our lives will be this wimby that we

2:02:02PFT Commenter:get in these playoffs yeah i think there was i saw a stat that wimby is eligible for all of the uh He hit the 65 game, but Luka is not, and Wemby played, I think, like 300 minutes less because they just were smart by the Spurs. Yep. Why get them ready for the playoffs? The NBA regular season is just a problem. Okay. We ready for anything else? Ready for numbers? Three.

2:02:34Big Cat:Next, three seed. Two. Celtics, two seed. 7. Sixers, 7 seed. There you go. Okay. 6. 24. 78. 23. 45. 69. 45, the percentage that the Capitals have to make the playoffs. I actually looked that up. It's 12. In my personal estimation. 12 is 12. In my personal estimation. You guys also took Michael Jordan numbers. That was cool. Yeah. Shout out. 23, 45. 12. 12.

2:03:16PFT Commenter:51 anyone one more there is a 10 chance we get it every time i know but we never do only one person has gotten this

2:03:28Big Cat:year you have not uh no you said no i have gotten the lottery ball this year It didn't count. No, three popped up. That was this year. It didn't count. It did. The drawing didn't count. You said that it did not count. No, that was for this machine. 86. Nope. 86. I won on that other machine this year. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And nobody else has won this year. Happy birthday to Brandon Walker, the second best player on the Experts on the Dozen. Dan Campbell, happy birthday to Dan Campbell, recurring guest, part of my take. And happy birthday to Bill Krosky Merritt. Nice. Love you guys. You nailed it.

2:04:12Big Cat:Didn't leave anyone out. I don't think so. No one. I don't know, probably. Meme, soon I leave out. Thomas Jefferson? Oh, fuck him. He was a fraud. Was he, Jay? Fraud, fraud. Absolute fraud. Tell me, why did your university lose as a one seed, bitch?

2:04:28PFT Commenter:Thomas Jefferson is a bad guy.

2:04:31Big Cat:Bad guy. Is James Madison named after him? Is Thomas Jefferson named after...

2:04:37PFT Commenter:James Madison University is named after Thomas Jefferson. After Thomas Jefferson.
