Scottie Scheffler, Mt Rushmore of Things You’d Want To Be Severed For, Hulk Hogan, Justin Fields Injured And Time 100 List

12:59PFT Commenter:Yeah, yeah. It's nuts. Joe Rogan is the biggest podcast in the world. And he's like, he's in the news all the time. And think about how many careers he started. It's fucking nuts. Wait, what was that? Practical Sheeps and Alpacas? Practical Sheep, Goats, and Alpacas. And PFT, just to give you a call back to Croquet, number 20 on our list right now is Croquet Gazette. Oh, I love that. Yeah, I know. I love that. We're going to order a whole stack of them. Yeah, so we will have a Mallet Times man myself. because that's pretty good we will have our top 100 magazines of all time in the book but the book is going well we we sat with matt for a long time uh this week and we have some really funny stories that we retold and again we're going to write a good portion of the book too which we do have to do pft um yeah we're ready to do it we also i'll just say it because we i was gonna say it after pft but we uh when i was meeting with matt this morning because i do think that this book we're dumb and books are dumb readings dumb so i think we need to just be transparent throughout the entire process because people will like hearing about the process going along and they'll be like oh this is what you were working on uh so pft we were originally going to do like year by year i think we're gonna and you could tell me if i'm wrong or if this is stupid i think we're gonna we're gonna do it in quarters we're gonna make it a football game oh i like that first quarter

14:18Big Cat:second quarter yeah but but different drives yeah well no and then in between quarters we'll

14:23PFT Commenter:write our stuff and and give people like we're basically the commercial timeouts but here here's the one thing that concerns me about that yeah what if we go to overtime overtime isn't like

14:34Big Cat:and then just sudden death like we're just one chapter and then we're done in overtime you will know also also if it's cut into fours like i like my books with the shortest chapters possible Well, they're going to be to feel no, no, it's not.

14:47PFT Commenter:It's not. The first quarter is not going to be one full chapter. The first quarter is going to have many chapters. It's just a way for us to be like, hey, here's here's the first quarter of the podcast history. Right.

14:58Big Cat:So the prologue will be like the flyover national anthem. Yep. And then we'll have half that we'll have Red Panda at halftime.

15:05PFT Commenter:Yes. Yes. Oh, we should get we should interview Red Panda. Matt, we could also have a panda. You could. We're also just going to have a bunch of pregame and postgame analysis. that's other people writing the book. Yeah. And I also like that we went from 10 chapters to four quarters. That makes my job a lot easier. Yeah, it seems easier. Yeah, even though there's going to be way more chapters. It's more palatable that way. Yeah.

15:30Big Cat:And as the fourth quarter dwindles, the font gets bigger and bigger and bigger as we're running the clock out. Yeah. The stakes get higher, so the font's got to get bigger.

15:38PFT Commenter:PFDA also, we haven't made the decision yet, but I think you'll be with me on this because like we're writing a book the last thing we want to do is have to write another book or update the book so we're just going to go 10 more years of part of my take someone's going to die but we will write that part of the book too we're going to look into the future yeah we're going to look at the future so that we never have to fucking write a book again i i think episode

16:02Big Cat:one of the show i forget if it was you who said it or or me but we said that this podcast will go until one of us develops a debilitating drug habit yeah so that may be how we finish the uh

16:12PFT Commenter:the story but i don't like the last thing i want is for this book to be successful and be like hey guys can you do an update like five years from now it's like no bro we did the update it's right

16:20Big Cat:there i just want to say congratulations to us for not developing drug habits yeah we we use drugs the exact perfect amount on the show yeah well let's just hope well no i want you i want you i was gonna say i want josh allen to keep winning mvps yes but if he wins if he wins like the next five we could be in trouble but he can't win multiple mvps in a year that's true that's true what are you gonna say max i was just i was just leaning forward okay i might get on testosterone

16:48PFT Commenter:we'll talk about that later but i i'm thinking about that so well it's it's the injuries are starting to mount up uh we should talk about the big news of today uh memes you ready i'm ready All right. Chuck E. Cheese got arrested. And he kept his hat on.

17:06Big Cat:He kept the mascot head on. Hat tip to him. They were probably going to fire him when he gets let out of there in handcuffs. But the fact that he kept the mascot head on, you're not going to find a better replacement than that. That's the best worker for your brand. That guy did so much, not just for the kids that were in there that might have been scarred by seeing the mascot get arrested and also removing his hat. It did a lot of good for those kids to not have to deal with that, but also just like the brand impressions that it did for your company. Those pictures of Chuck E. Cheese in handcuffs probably translated to millions of dollars in equity for the Chuck E.

17:45Big Cat:Cheese brand. So that's the employee of the month right there.

17:48PFT Commenter:Yeah, I don't know if this makes me a good or bad parent, but I cannot wait to get home to show my kids this video. And just be like, look at this. Never meet your heroes. Chuck E. Cheese is in the clink. He's being thrown away right now. Actually, you know what? I might just save it for the next time they're like, hey, can we please go to Chuck E. Cheese? I'd be like, can't. He's in jail. Is this who you want to be associated with?

18:10Big Cat:Did you know that the E in Chuck E. Cheese stands for entertainment? I did. The mouse's middle name is entertainment, so his name is Charles Entertainment Cheese.

18:17PFT Commenter:I have spent a lot of time in Chuck E. Cheese in the last couple of years, which is a place I didn't think I'd ever go back to because I didn't think as a kid it would last this long.

18:26Big Cat:But it is still going.

18:28PFT Commenter:They're still doing it.

18:29Big Cat:The best air hockey tables and maybe the worst ball pits.

18:33PFT Commenter:Yeah. Ball pits. And then there's just a lot of games and you just you just can't get a lot of tickets. Like I tried. I played so many games the other day when I was there for a birthday party. And now that I'm saying this out loud, I'm just going to stop the story.

18:48PFT Commenter:you know what actually I can say that because my childhood didn't end until today I was still a kid when I was doing that last month playing at Chuck E. Cheese it kind of makes me want to go back to Chuck E. Cheese seeing the mouse get arrested listen I know it well we can go I know exactly where it is the games we can play the games that will get us the most tickets also the pizza not bad not bad at all okay Okay, Justin Fields was carted off this morning, but he's fine. He has a toe injury.

19:20Big Cat:First, he hid behind a tree, and then they put him on the injury cart. They carted him off, and then they gave him an x-ray. Dislocated toe. I've never dislocated a toe before. I would say, though, that if you were to pick one body part on your body to be injured, it's probably your toe.

19:43PFT Commenter:I don't know if turf toe is a beast Turf toe, but I don't think this is turf toe I'm just saying though, like if you had to pick one body part to get injured Turf toe is a beast

19:52Big Cat:Turf toe is more about like the bottom of your foot It's like a foot injury, not just your toe Yeah, pinky

19:58PFT Commenter:What about earlobe? What the fuck do you need an earlobe for? Get pierced? Yeah I don't even think you can hurt your earlobe You have Vander Holyfield Trump Trump, I mean, Holyfield literally got his earlobe bitten. Yeah. Do you not know that that happened? Mike Tyson? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know. I know.

20:16Big Cat:Trump? Yeah. Pete Crow Armstrong got, I think, both of his earlobes hurt. But he looks awesome now. Yeah, he looks sick.

20:25PFT Commenter:So sick. What else? Nipple? No, nipple would hurt. Nipple would suck. Yeah, nipple would suck. Listen, we're just throwing out body parts. Don't get mad at me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Zach, give us one. Nipple would be really bad. forearm forearm no no forearm is forearm rough I think a quarterback would need his forearm what about your hair oh as the quarterback hair is going maybe not Justin Fields yeah no so memes talk us through today because it's been up and down it's been I got PFT I got added to a Jets group chat Max and I got added to the Jets group chat at Barstool Sports just to try to pump up the boys well Big Cat was getting some takes off I was getting some takes off but I was they were all coming from a like I've been through Justin Fields I'm rooting for the guy I have my doubts I think I think it's fair for Bears fans who watched was it three seasons yeah three seasons Justin Fields to say he's not a guy but I do think that this season

21:27Big Cat:for Justin Fields is best opportunity to try this is his last-ditch effort to become a guy

21:33PFT Commenter:okay or less at least save his career save his career that's fair i would agree so i just didn't

21:41Big Cat:want to see him go out like this like if it was an achilles or yeah no i when it was like supposed

21:47PFT Commenter:to be that's another thing we need to get rid of the carted off nomenclature when it's like we don't especially in training camp because it's one thing to get carted off when you're watching the game and you can be like, oh, that was a really bad injury. There's nothing worse than the carted off tweet that you get from one of the beat reporters from your team's training camp. You're like, what the fuck? Because you just think the absolute worst. You think out for the season. This was not a carted off. I mean, it was obviously need to be carted off, but it ended up not being a carted off injury.

22:17Big Cat:Yeah, I think that that's credit to everybody that tweeted out thoughts and prayers. It worked. Yeah, everybody was just like hoping and your thoughts, your prayers, they made it not as bad of an injury. It was like that with Joe Burrow a couple years ago. Remember that when he hurt his leg during training camp? Yes. And everybody thought it was like, oh, shit, Joe Burrow out for the season. Turns out I think he was even back for week one.

22:39PFT Commenter:But that was actually probably what you're hoping doesn't happen with Justin Fields because Joe Burrow was hampered to start the season, remember? And they started slow, although the Bengals start slow every year. But so you feeling where are we at now, memes? It's been a few hours. Vibe check. Vibes are great. Okay, we're back. Vibes are great unless the toe injury develops into an infection or something. I also would like to say that, and again, we talk about it almost instantly after during Fyre Fest. I didn't, PFT, I don't know if you knew this, but like memes is all in on Justin Fields. Yeah, you have to be.

23:20PFT Commenter:Yeah, but to a point I didn't fully realize how all in.

23:23Big Cat:Memes has been all in on everybody. True. Like that's just he's an all-in guy.

23:28PFT Commenter:He is.

23:28Big Cat:I love that about you. It's like every player on that team at the start of the year, every coach, he's all in on all of them. And then he's going to figure out who his scapegoats are. Usually he'll go to like somebody in the media first. And then after he gets on from that, he'll figure out the one guy that he hates on the team. But yeah, Memes is always all in. He's optimistic. Memes, I got a question for you. After Justin Fields, after the news broke today, did you allow yourself to get to a point where you watched

23:54PFT Commenter:to rod taylor highlights no i didn't even get to that point it was just walk in and then it was just on yeah and then it was just fighting for your life just fighting fighting for your life and the the the tweet that's going around about the jets early preseason slash early season injuries that does suck it's uh justin field's toe which hopefully is okay there are two years ago with aaron rogers the achilles 2022 zach wilson knee surgery preseason. Sam Darnold week two mono, which is very funny to just have on any list. Geno Smith 2015 broke his jaw punched by teammate. Also funny to have on any list in the preseason.

24:33PFT Commenter:2013 Mark Sanchez preseason shoulder surgery and then 2003 Chad Pennington preseason broken hand slash wrist. And then 1999 Danny Tessaverde tours Achilles game one. Yeah, not fun.

24:46Big Cat:You want to at least have a full offseason to be optimistic about next year.

24:52PFT Commenter:You want to go into week one with like your loaded gun. You want to have everyone ready to go. Well, I wouldn't say optimistic. You're optimistic. You are optimistic. Memes is thinking soupy. He won't say it. He won't say it. He's thinking soupy. No, no, no. You just went. You were just going through all of the units on the Jets and being like, we're awesome here. We're awesome here. No, you're thinking. And if Justin Fields could perform, the Jets will be in a good place. but I'm not optimistic

25:19Big Cat:they're minus 700 to miss the playoffs ESPN just came out with rankings that were ranked 28 out of 32 teams

25:25PFT Commenter:who cares who cares about rankings you don't care about that

25:30Big Cat:you don't

25:31PFT Commenter:you can't now quote journalists and be like look at what they're saying that is what they're saying like last season they went into the season we were ranked 4th in Super Bowl odds and they won 5 games so you can't really determine your entire team based off of so what so soup you just went full circle there yeah we're back yeah you you were like talking about how you're not optimistic and then you finished with well well last year yeah they said we're gonna be good i don't have expectations till i have i have expected you have expectations you went you went the media doesn't the media has us finishing last and then a full circle don't listen to the media they don't know shit

26:14Big Cat:that's true it doesn't affect your optimism the the media's picking you guys 28th makes you mad at the media but that doesn't actually affect where you think that they're going to finish yeah correct any given sunday you can win a football game yeah but expectations get set pretty much immediately when you're jets fan so week one or preseason when your quarterback

26:36PFT Commenter:gets card off for a toe yeah the injury thing is just the only thing you don't want in preseason because right now it's everyone freaking out mode. Jerry came up to me. He's like, Aaron Rodgers looks bad. That's what I'm hearing from Steelers camp. I'm like, dude, it's day two. Who cares? The Bears' Caleb Williams got yelled at by Ben Johnson. The seven-on-seven offense got kicked off the field. I'm like, good. Joe Burrow said the defense won the day against them. That's what you should expect in preseason. The offense usually looks bad to start preseason.

27:05Big Cat:And that would be a great job by Joe Burrow to gas up his defense early on in training camp. Right. They need to be more kind. If I were him, I would just let them pick me off three times a practice just to get some confidence. I saw that ESPN Cleveland is also updating on a day-to-day basis the stat lines for all their quarterbacks. Oh, give it to me. We're looking at the four-horse race in Cleveland. Joe Flacco, five for five. Perfect. No touchdowns, no interceptions. Shador, three for eight. No touchdowns, no picks. Okay. Kenny Pickett, six for seven. They let him air it out a little bit. No touchdowns, no picks.

27:44Big Cat:And then Dylan Gabriel, six for seven, one touchdown, no interceptions. So right now I have Dylan Gabriel, QB one. Yeah. Joe Flacco, QB two. Kenny Pickett, then Shador? I think I would probably have – it depends. What was the weather like? Probably pretty nice. True. I'm going to have I'm going to put yeah picket three and then Shador four that Browns video by

28:13PFT Commenter:the way of them unveiling the new helmet I hate that they did that uh because it ruins it for everyone else like for instance so people have missed it uh the Browns unveiled a new helmet and uh they had a guy who was taking video on this barge on the river uh or the lake fall into to the lake and it went viral for a little bit and then it leaked that it was all a stunt and what it does is it ruins when a savannah banana smashes their face live on tv because that was

28:44Big Cat:real yeah such a funny face smash that he had that guy's gonna try to do the backflip he's gonna get so much sympathy pussy that's rack right yeah that's right that's rack that did it rack he's famous for doing the backflips that originally i thought it might be fake just because i've never seen that guy miss a flip yeah um but yeah that was a great face smash that he had there uh max

29:05PFT Commenter:by the way the savannah bananas did reach out to me should we ask them if you want to do dingers only against them yep what do they say they said no oh well no i actually didn't ask him because i don't want you to never do it you want me to never do it i kind of like this story i know i've thought about it and i just don't know you you guys don't want you guys don't want to go anywhere either like you guys don't want to do this max are you saying that uh with the travel schedule that we have up for the next like four weeks where we're basically gone every single week we don't want to travel so that you can do your dingers only bet that you should have done seven months ago yeah guilty as charged well we tried to do it seven months ago and you bailed it rain happened multitude of times and then there was an injury would you be able to do it right now Injuries happen.

29:53I'd gut it out. No, you wouldn't. Yeah, I would. You would tear an Achilles.

29:57PFT Commenter:I fucking hurt my leg when I played softball. I gut it out. Stayed on the mound. All right, I'll hit up the bananas. They're coming to Chicago. Yeah, that would be perfect. Okay. Let's do it at Wrigley. All right. No, they're playing at a guaranteed rate. Let's do it at guaranteed rate. That would be fun. That would be fun, PFT.

30:17Big Cat:I'm down. I'm actually very lowest of keys. I'm psyched that Max has not scheduled this yet because I'm dreading having to catch for it. Catching feels like it's going to be just as hard as pitching. Yeah. No, catching was not fun. Was not fun. My knees aren't in the greatest shape they've ever been. My ass is out of shape. It's going to be tough. I'm going to have to gut through it too. So the longer Max delays on it, the good for me. But I still get to make fun of Max for not doing it yet. Yeah, exactly.

30:47PFT Commenter:That's what we want to savor. Do we have anything else? Anything else we missed before we get to we have an awesome Mount Rushmore. We have Scotty Sheffler. We have Fyre Fest.

30:55Big Cat:I got one more story here. Yeah. I don't know how this one slipped through the cracks, but have you seen the new AI trend that is being wiped off the face of the Internet? No. Is that the LeBron suing it? LeBron James.

31:09PFT Commenter:Yeah.

31:09Big Cat:So there's an AI company that's been making pregnant videos of LeBron James. Great thing to specialize in. and LeBron James has sent cease and desist letters to them and gotten all their content taken down off the internet. Wow. Which is, it is the Streisand effect.

31:26PFT Commenter:So is he pregnant? I don't know. I don't know. Who's to say? So he, is it a situation where he is pregnant but he's not ready to announce it yet?

31:40Big Cat:He's pregnant. He has not done the, maybe he's waiting for the draft to select his unborn fetus to join the Lakers. I don't know what's going on, but there were some pretty realistic videos of LeBron. Why the buddy pregnant, LeBron? And yeah, he's really making this into a big news story by sending them cease and desist letters, whereas I don't think I would have – no one would have heard of this company that's making pregnant LeBron videos if he hadn't started to do this.

32:09PFT Commenter:Is that what they're specializing in? Because Genius, hat tip to them, being like, hey, what should we do? How about LeBron pregnant videos and just corner the market?

32:20Big Cat:Yeah. I mean, that's a great idea for a company. If you're going to do something, do something specialized and be great at it. But I can tell these are pretty hyper-realistic LeBron James pregnancy videos.

32:30PFT Commenter:It sounds like I haven't seen these videos, but it sounds like to me that he could be pregnant. He could be very pregnant. Oh, my God. Pretty pregnant. That looks pregnant. He looks very pregnant there. No gender reveal yet. It's nice that he did – they need to do it in like a Cavs jersey to be like this is how he announces that he's going to the Cavs.

32:50Big Cat:I like that. I like that. Michael Jordan never got pregnant.

32:53PFT Commenter:That's a fact. That's a fact. All right. Let's do our Mount Rushmore with Hank back in studio. What's up, Blake? He's barking in the background. Love that. What's up? Yeah, he probably sees a spider. Fuck you. And then we got Scotty Scheffler and FireFest.

So explain it for people who haven't seen the Severance show. It's a sci-fi show where they have chips. What does that mean?

34:54PFT Commenter:Science fiction. They have chips in their brain and every time they come to work they get in an elevator and when they go down the elevator, the chip activates. They go into the basement floor and they are a completely different person. They have no memory of their outside world. And then when they get off of work, they go back up the elevator. They come out the other side and they don't know what they did all day at work. So basically separating the painful things in your life. Turns out they made out with their wife at work. Yeah, exactly. Big cheating scandal. So I got a problem. we got a problem it's team first zach sat down with me up in my office for our pre mount rushmore meeting and he pulled out his phone i was like sick he's gonna have a lot of good picks and uh he said wait what's the mount rushmore and i said it's things you'd like to be severed for he's like oh i missed when we texted about that and then i said okay well let's start thinking he said what severance okay and i said i said the show and he said oh i don't even know what like not i haven't seen severance it was i don't i had never heard the word severance it

36:06Big Cat:sounds like he's been severed for watching severance yes actually that would be a good answer for this amount rushmore where you just get severed so you don't have to deal with like

36:13PFT Commenter:years in between seasons yes yes get to binge it so uh i have he came with some picks uh but i also have a list of picks where he just completely did not understand what we were talking about that I can share after that I think you guys will enjoy.

36:28Big Cat:Okay.

36:29PFT Commenter:Our team's doing great.

36:30Big Cat:I'm sorry that that's happening. Your team and Hank are lockstep. We're at a roll. Positive vibes only. We're cooking, working as a team. I have a good feeling for your team. Looking at the sunny side of the mountain right now, Hank. I have a good feeling for your team today. Hank is down bad. What's going on, Hank? The Instagram captions draft really, really fucked him up mentally.

36:49PFT Commenter:So you came in here today and you were like, I'm done with Mount Rushmore season. That's not real. You're not. No, it's football. This is a football podcast. This is a filibuster. PFT announced football is back. I think going forward when we announce football is back, that's the end of Mount Rushmore. Okay. So the first guy to say it? Yeah. First guy to say it. Would you want to sever Mount Rushmore season? That's on the list.

37:20Big Cat:pizza toppings draft oh Hank you're not you're not that bad at it we had one bad Mount Rushmore I think if you look at the history of this podcast I'm the worst that's not true you gotta you gotta stay in the fight Hank stay in the fight it's bad we're in a bad spot I you know I was singled out for for choosing the topic I noticed we announced the topic didn't say who picked today's uh PFT pick today's but no no i don't think so i it was down to like two or the you you offered up today's i offered up a different one yeah yeah that we're not using today yeah you offered up the two for

37:56PFT Commenter:today but if if we're going on the you were the one who came up oh yeah it was from the list it was from the list i picked two from that list yep but yeah i was i was you know i thought i picked a good one the fans you know let me know it was a bad one just the topic in general and i thought I thought it was a great topic. I thought the topic was great. I thought people liked the topic. And then we got smoked in it, so it was bad. It was a double whammy. Do you think maybe it's because during the takeies when you're like, I don't really like the fans? Did I say that? Well, it's kind of.

38:27Big Cat:You did the Spotify thing again. I never said that. I mean, again, putting words in my mouth. This is bullshit what you're doing to Hank. This is bullshit what you're doing to Hank. I never said that.

38:36PFT Commenter:He never said that. What did you say? I can't remember. I don't know. It definitely wasn't that. it was like the he said they they they send some hateful oh yeah yeah that's fair that's fair listen i've never had a bad interaction with a fan in person that's fact i love our fans that's facts uh all right so we you act like you've never gotten hate from our fans online of course so that's all i said yeah i just i love the hate of and love the love yeah and love it all yeah

39:02Big Cat:i also want to take some responsibility for what happened during the the instagram captions draft because I don't think it sounds as good coming from me as from a native Instagram user like Hank, who's clearly passionate about the subject and knows a lot more than anybody else in this room about Instagram. So probably it might have come off inauthentic with me saying booked and busy.

39:25PFT Commenter:That's true. You say booked and busy. No. We're moving on. All right. Well, I think you should stay in the fight. I don't know if this is before or after the interview. Before. Well, preview. I've let my anger out. I've let my frustrations, and I'm standing over the ball. I'm looking forward. Got it. Okay. That's a good preview for our Scotty Scheffler. Nice teaser, Hank. You're back. Yeah. In tease. Let's go. I feel like you're still a little mad. No, no. Just at me. Hank, a little mad. I mean, the Caleb Williams bar that he dropped on me on Wednesday's show was awesome. Great bar. I was laughing about it at night.

40:00PFT Commenter:You want to break a nail? Like, that's a good – a spicy Hank is a good Hank. And guess what, Hank? Ball's in your hand. Yeah. And Max, Max, piece of shit outside the show, inside the show. But I'm focused on the show. What did he do outside the show? I'm not going to let that affect me. I just wanted to let him know what the people were saying. Oh, no. So you brought the hateful comments to him? Yes. That's fucked up, Hank. What did they say, man? I wouldn't do that to you. What did they say? I'll tell you what a couple of them said. For the record, I thought you won, Hank. That was one person.

40:31Nice. This other person said, I thought the topic was a great suggestion for what it's worth, Hank. Another good one. Third good one. I thought it was a great Mount Rushmore idea. Don't let him bring you down.

40:41PFT Commenter:Yeah. Love that. How about those comments? Hank Army. Hank Army. Oh, you reposted all these, Hank. That wasn't why I picked those. That had nothing to do with why I picked those. That is the final boss of Angry Hank is to find people and retweet them. I love it. It's hard to find.

40:59Big Cat:It was hard to find. I was fucking mining. Mining for gold. Deep in the shit. I was sifting through shit. What was the meanest one that you got, Hank? I don't even know. Like I said, I moved on. Do you remember the meanest one that you got, Max? No, I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't even see any mean ones.

41:16PFT Commenter:That's mean, Max, that you went and took him to him? I was just wondering what he was thinking. Okay. All right. Should we do it? Yep. All right. Let's do it. Who's up first? We are? I believe so. Okay. All right. We're up first, Zach. All right. My first, our first pick, Zach understands the assignment. You feel good, Zach? I do. Stay strong. Don't break. Yes, sir. No breaking. It's a hard topic because we were thinking about a lot of things, but we would love to be severed from going to the gym. Show up to the gym. Get fucking ripped. On the list. Get fucking ripped. Get out of the gym and be like, wow.

41:59Big Cat:So I had that thought and I put it. It was one of the first ones I wrote down. I went back on it, though, because sometimes I get a lot of good thinking done at the gym, and I wouldn't want to lose those.

42:09PFT Commenter:Yeah. The hardest part about going, I think we've probably all shared this, when you go to the gym and you do two exercises and then just be like, all right, I'm done. Or you sit outside the gym. Just get me to the threshold, and then I'll be a beast in there. And then when I come out, I got six pack, everything.

42:28Big Cat:Be awesome. A guy like me, I enjoy the pain at the gym. yeah i enjoy the work yeah that's the beauty of it okay uh we're gonna go with finals week in college oh good one okay i like learning because right when you're done it's summer it's summer you got to yeah what about all the people who didn't go to college those people aren't gonna like the pick okay there you go i mean it does mean that you lose all the knowledge that you gain from college making your degree worthless that's actually not okay how's that you yeah because you cram you wouldn't know the things you do yeah you would forget all the stuff that isn't that also like a fun like fun party week yeah no and then you can like go out there's always one night no that's a good shot sometimes you go out one night and then try to drink a little bit too much and like i'm an finals week is by far the worst week of all time is pft right though you would lose what you learned name me one thing you learned

43:22PFT Commenter:from final from your finals in college right now everything vietnam was bad for who everyone yeah Okay. Yeah. All right. All right. Bang. There we go. There we go. Checkmate your ass. Checkmate. Hippopotamuses run on the bottom of the river. Still got it. Got it. Imagine if I had gotten that severed. Yeah. I wouldn't know shit about hippopotamuses or Vietnam. Yep. Okay. All right. Our first pick and second pick. We're going to go hangovers. Yes. Good pick. Hang. Great pick. Great pick. Great pick. Great pick. And we're going to go dentist. Dentist. Okay. Good pick. Dentist. That was probably going to be my next pick.

44:04PFT Commenter:So I was thinking about dentists. I had it on my list. They do do a lot of drugs now at dentists, which is kind of like borderline severance. Like I get the gas every time.

44:11Big Cat:Yeah.

44:12PFT Commenter:So.

44:13Big Cat:But you don't get to really feel the gas before you go out. I love the gas.

44:17PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah. No, no, no. Not the gas that like takes you all the way out. Like the. The nitrous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On your Kanye shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That shit rocks. Okay. Good picks. Great pick. Great pick Hank What are you thinking? I'm sick of all this I am going to go with What are you thinking?

44:39Big Cat:Team game

44:43We're going to go with travel days Okay

44:46PFT Commenter:So like traveling in a plane Yeah Driving is fun, road trips can be fun It's just a travel day It's essentially getting to your destination It's basically teleporting You want to go somewhere and then you're there. Okay. Good pick. All right. Zach, should I just take the ball? What are we doing here?

45:06Big Cat:Where are you feeling with the ball? I was feeling three and eight.

45:15PFT Commenter:Three and eight are both great picks. Okay. You feel good about it? I do. Stay strong. Don't break. I think we're staying strong there. Okay. Has Zach ever objected to when you asked him? No, he has. We workshop upstairs. We did last time we were in between two picks. We get quite combative in private, but this is a team game. So in public, we got to stay strong and not break it. We scream at each other.

45:34Big Cat:I want to see the combative. Yeah. Well, it's a players only meeting. Yeah. I want to see it to be a fly on that wall.

45:38PFT Commenter:Okay. So we're going to go with commuting to work. Similar to travel days, but it's traffic. Commuting sucks. Are you taking traffic or are you taking commuting? Well, I mean, it's commuting. so I mean you have to deal with traffic sometimes sometimes you don't but there's just like getting on a train commuting driving sucks I think most of our listeners like the commute because they get to listen to our show yep okay good good so we're just picking everyone's part of it got it I mean I mean good job no no that's fine good good point good point good point that is what we've been doing but you could also you could listen to this show as any you could but then you wouldn't get it as the outies but it doesn't matter the download would count the same oh so you're just in it for the i'm just saying don't care about i'm saying oh all right i like this i'm getting combative uh all right uh and then we're gonna go the 24 hours after a bad sports loss good one yeah so one you lose a fucking terrible game on sunday just

46:41Big Cat:fucking get me to monday night football if you get drunk enough you can kind of do that naturally Yeah, I understand. So let me black out everyone talking shit online, having to think about the loss, having to think about what went wrong.

46:53PFT Commenter:Just give me another day away. Nothing worse than waking up on the Monday after a bad loss. You don't want to look at any TV screen.

47:01Big Cat:They'll probably show the highlight. And you do that just like big sigh, like, fuck.

47:05PFT Commenter:Yeah.

47:07Big Cat:Mondays are way better when your team wins. They're so much better. Yeah. You kind of look forward to Mondays. Yeah. I mean the star player season long injury is almost worse because it's not like you can be like next season. Yeah. Yeah. Good point. Yeah. Okay. Like co-star player. Yeah.

47:33PFT Commenter:For the listeners. I just gave a look like what the fuck PFT.

47:37Big Cat:My desire to troll Hank is way stronger than my desire to win Mount Rushmore. Or just be a good teammate. Yeah, I should be like a good...

47:48PFT Commenter:BFT, would you say you're the Jalen Brown of your team?

47:50Big Cat:Yeah, yeah, I would.

47:52PFT Commenter:Yeah, the guy you want to give the finals MVP to.

47:54Big Cat:Well, I meant healthy.

47:55PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah, that too. Okay, who's up? You guys? Max? Memes? Yep. We're going to go with the day after Super Bowl to March Madness. Get rid of it all. Okay. Never at all.

48:07Big Cat:We had that on our list, too. That's vacation. Good pick. That is our vacation week. But we are not everyone. Okay. Actually, Max, this is maybe the stupidest pick of anybody in the history of Mount Rushmore. Go off. You just fucking won the Super Bowl, dude. Oh! You didn't want to enjoy that time? Oh! You would have had no time to win. Oh! You fucking idiot. Wow. Bad pick, Max.

48:33PFT Commenter:You didn't get to enjoy the Super Bowl, idiot. is for next year. Yeah. What are the exact dates? I need the exact dates. What? I said the day after Super Bowl to the start of March Madness. So you're missing the conference tournament week. And the parade. Terrible, terrible. How are you missing conference tournament week? You love the Big East conference tournament. I do. Okay, that's fine. That's fine. That's fine. I don't care. I don't care. That's the pick. That's the pick. I don't care what you say. You get no parade. Can we have it in parentheses said by an Eagles fan who just won the Super Bowl?

49:04PFT Commenter:You don't get to see Nova

49:05Big Cat:in the conference tournament. That's not what you get. Winning a game or two. You literally started off this argument by saying, yep, that was our next pick. Yeah. And then you went, this pick fucking sucks. Hey, guess what? For me, it would have been awesome because my team didn't win the Super Bowl. The situation remains fluid. Okay. The situation remains...

49:24PFT Commenter:I would have loved not having to think about the Eagles being a Super Bowl champion for a month. Max, you've been doing this podcast now three years? We talked about this as being the worst time of the year. every fucking year. Can I get a timeout? Where are we? Can I get a timeout? What land are we speaking in? Can I get a timeout, please? No. I never talk about conference tournament week being a timeout. Yeah, okay. It's the best week of the year. Sorry, you're playing the semantics game right now. Yes, it is the best week of the year. Sorry, we're playing the semantics game right now. Can I get a timeout?

49:53PFT Commenter:Sure. You're acting surprised. How long have you been doing this podcast? Three years now? Is this your third summer? This is going to be my fourth grit week. Fourth grit week. I was just looking at that. Okay. You know how this works. every single Mount Rushmore season, we play nicey, nicey, nicey, and then something happens to Hank, and then the gloves come off. This is true. And then I get mad. So the Instagram caption draft was something happened to Hank, and now the gloves are off. But you're also forgetting, I've been here for four years. This is how I'm going to respond every single time.

50:31PFT Commenter:I know, but you have to know the tone was set for this draft. when he tried to say that finals week rocked. Well, you might drink. I think you learn a lot. Oh, yeah, don't you party during finals week? It's the only time.

50:44Big Cat:Sorry to go to fucking college, dude. Hank said that. Yeah, Hank said that. I did say that. There's always one night where you go out just a little bit too hard, and you're like, fuck, I shouldn't have done that. Then you take your final hungover. And that sucks. But it was a great night. No, it sucks. Yeah, when you do go out, when you get a little wild during finals week, something you're not supposed to, it's the best. Oh, it's like stealing time. You wouldn't get it, Max. Also, you're missing out on Valentine's Day. I guess you don't love love. That's okay. Again, you started this argument by saying that was my next pick.

51:16Big Cat:President's Day, you hate America. You're disrespecting Mr. Trump. Again. That's fine. It was actually our second pick, but I didn't choose it. There you go. Good choice, Hank. Yeah. Hank's in the zone right now. Our last two picks, BFD, I need help on the last one. We're going to go with Traffic. Good pick, Hank.

51:36PFT Commenter:So that's commuting. No, you can be in traffic. Okay. All right.

51:40Big Cat:All right. You can be driving for pleasure. Okay. Right?

51:44PFT Commenter:Yeah.

51:45Big Cat:Yeah. Or driving to get to any destination. Maybe you're late for dinner. Yeah. Late for an appointment. Nothing worse than traffic. Okay. Hate traffic. And then I just highlighted one, Hank. I think that's a good pick. This was a good pick on your part. Are you sure? because author Matt said otherwise. Should we go with his pick? Yeah, yeah. His pick, yeah. We'll go with Bad Breakup. Hank, what did you just say, Hank? He was in the room. What about the rebound chicks? Bad Breakup. Good pick, Hank. They made a whole movie out.

52:18PFT Commenter:Lowering your standards. Really good pick, Hank. They made a movie.

52:21Big Cat:Good pick, Hank. Eternal Sunshine. Really good pick, Hank. Great film. Nice job picking traffic also.

52:26PFT Commenter:Okay. Really good pick. Do you like traffic? Yeah, no. Even though that was like the exact reason No good pick good pick good pick What? No good pick good pick No no no people listen to part of my take on their commute Like people that commute on trains They walk to work They take their bike to work We had three different forms of traffic by the way No but travel What was your Travel day you get Yeah that's airplanes I love driving I love driving Driving is one of my favorite things to do I hate traffic Yeah, but that's when you do listen to Pardon My Take. That is when you listen to Pardon My Take.

53:02You will not catch me listening to Pardon My Take in traffic. You don't listen to Pardon My Take. That's a promise.

53:07Big Cat:No, but I think people listen to Pardon My Take on a commute because that's built into their daily routine. Traffic could be you're trying to - No, a commute with no traffic is not as - I like my commute. My commute to work is easy. If my 20-minute commute turned into a 35-minute commute because of traffic, I would be like, I wish I could put a chip in and get over this. It's a Saturday. Maybe you're going to the beach. Yeah. Beach traffic. Yep.

53:27PFT Commenter:Yeah, beach traffic. All right, Max? We're going to go with food poisoning slash stomach bug. Okay, that's like hangover.

53:37Big Cat:Being sick. It is kind of like hangover, but that's fine. Yeah.

53:42PFT Commenter:Okay. Zach, permission to just go full send, take a risk, take a shot. I think you just rip one. Take a shot. This is all. Rip one. Let it rip. Okay, I'm letting it rip. This is very niche, so it might not play. Any conversation with Ben Mintz. Okay?

54:06PFT Commenter:It plays, right? You just get caught in there. You just want to get out.

54:11Big Cat:That would be so fucked up to your innie. Yeah, your innie would try to kill themselves. Oh, my God. Their entire life, they think that the only person that they talk to, the only other person on planet Earth is Ben. I'll give you a counterpoint, though. Yeah. I was talking to Ben last week. Oh. He cornered me a little bit when I was upstairs. Whatever. That's fine. I told him he looked good. I asked if he had been working out. He has been working out. He told me that he is planning on getting under 180 pounds. And when he takes his shirt off for the first time, people's brains are going to melt.

54:48Big Cat:He's going to melt brains. And I'm so glad that I heard Ben Mintz tell me.

54:51PFT Commenter:Yeah. Well, my Audi would have been able to see him take his shirt off. I just didn't have to hear the story about it because it was definitely not that short. I saw him today. Max did the 999 challenge. They were drinking beers and eating hot dogs. Some people were hungover from the beers, and I saw him mentioning he basically said he had a hangover from hot dogs. He's like, oh, you know, I'm just, you know, the hot dogs. I'm like, are you saying you're hungover? Is this a hangover thing? He also, on the yak, used the word, which I hadn't heard anyone say in a long time. He said, I tried to take a crap.

55:24PFT Commenter:I was like, who says crap? I'm going to go crap?

55:27Big Cat:You would miss his winners, though, in football season.

55:30PFT Commenter:He doesn't share them. He shares them after.

55:33Big Cat:Boosts, though. Boosts.

55:35PFT Commenter:He shares the boosts after. He doesn't share any of those.

55:38Big Cat:He's more of a March Madness. Oh, fire.

55:40PFT Commenter:This is going to be a pick that I think is very funny, but we'll see. It's niche. It's very niche. What was the widespread panic line? Some was fire. Chicago Thin was literally on fire. The walls were shaking. That's what it was. That was when Weitzbott Panic did Lawyers, Guns, and Money in Red Rocks. Mountains were shaking. The Chicago Theater was literally on fire. What do we got for honorable mentions? Then I'll do Zach's thing. Mitzi just brought us back. Yeah, he did. He brought us all back. Mitzi just brought us all back. He brought us all back. Great Mount Rushmore. Great Mount Rushmore.

56:17I wanted to do it, but I am trying to win, but it would have been niche, just suffocating your adult junkie nephew to protect your crime family.

56:27PFT Commenter:Oh, that would have been good. Also, wife dying in a car accident. It's a valid one. That's the entire point of the show. Yeah. I hadn't seen the show earlier. I had another niche one, but we were trying not to get it to go nuclear here. It was going to be Hank talking about his golf round. Right. You'd say that, but then other people, Don't ask me. Yeah. Yeah. That's fine. I didn't make that pick. That's why you didn't make the pick. I didn't make the pick. But you say it as you literally bring it up as much possible. No, no, no. And then you talk to Stephen Jay every single day on the act about golf.

57:05PFT Commenter:Well, that's been two days because he's the weirdest golfer ever. That was a good point. That was a good point for Hank. Good point for Hank. That was a good point for Hank. Prison. Not really relatable, but imagine if you could sever. I actually think that we could get to a technological point where that becomes the thing.

57:20Big Cat:I think prison is a perfect pick.

57:22PFT Commenter:Yeah.

57:23Big Cat:Military service. Yeah, we had going to war. We also had getting shot.

57:27PFT Commenter:I thought about prison, but prison, like, you can't. That's not like a lot. The majority of people do not go to prison.

57:33Big Cat:Yeah. The vast majority. But if you did, you could say it. Now, at one point, Hank was. Yeah. I was in my. This was in my feels. Yeah. This is when I was in my feels. This was early. This is earlier in the morning when I was fully in my feels. Hank was playing a game of chess against himself. Like, it's that the meme of the guy whose brain wraps all the way under the table and he's playing chess against that uh he had blowing a three nothing lead in the alcs but then he also had malcolm butler's interception and blowing a 28-3 lead in the super bowl i was trying to

58:01PFT Commenter:throw oh yeah trying to make people think this can't be hank smart smart um what about uh wedding ceremony jury duty jury duty doesn't happen very often but i kind of like the wedding i mean a wedding ceremony you would assume it's someone you like and care about and it's the best day of their life.

58:19Big Cat:No, you want to see...

58:19PFT Commenter:I think it's nice. It's other people's. But like someone you're very close with. Yeah, I still get bored. To the point you got invited to the best day of their life. It's not even my pick you're arguing with.

58:28Big Cat:Yeah. It's honorable mentions. Witnessing two people joined for life in front of the eyes of God.

58:33PFT Commenter:We were going to say labor. Going to war. Yeah. Women, definitely labor. Yeah. Maybe dudes too. I said military service. Getting shot. How would you say it like up until... Because you want to be there for the actual birth part. It would also be a scary thing to get off the elevator, too. Yeah. Yeah. Do you guys want to hear Zach's? Yes. Zach, can you explain? I'm going to say them, and you explain them, okay? I can do that. All right. Port-a-potty. Sometimes you have to use them.

59:05Big Cat:Yeah. It's a bad experience. I actually get it over and pick. Excellent pick. I think that might be even a better pick of Max's pick, of the stomach issues. Yeah. Okay. burning

59:17PFT Commenter:that's very wrong burning your tongue it's gonna happen to all of us again it's happened before I'd like to forget it but but it's like when you came back to you'd still have a burnt tongue yeah and it's also so pretty that initial shock factor is like no but the worst part of like a burnt tongue is like after the next week yeah like you still feel the burnt tongue you wanna get rid of all of that I don't hate that if you just wanna get rid of all of that

59:41Big Cat:if we could just skip anything involved with like tongue like biting the tongue too Like tongue injury.

59:45PFT Commenter:Tongue injuries. Okay, I like that. No one likes them. Mondays was a good idea. Mondays. But Monday Night Football. Mondays can kind of suck sometimes. Actually, Max should have taken it because he doesn't watch Monday Night Football. Yeah. Eagles play the Packers. But he does love lasagna. Yeah. This one I liked. Anytime I have to take my shirt off. Yeah, skip it. Love that one. Love that one. But then the problem is that gets reversed. Pool, boat. Those are fun times. Yeah. So that's where it kind of falls apart. Not an intercourse guy. Yeah, on the surface, that was a good pick. Then here's where we got a little sideways.

1:00:25PFT Commenter:Just math. Skip it. Skip it. It can get so difficult. That's like a new counting.

1:00:32Big Cat:What if I'm counting an over in my head? No, but that means that, yeah, your Audi can do zero math. Zero math. It doesn't know anything math related. I think you can get around.

1:00:42PFT Commenter:Yeah. And this one was probably the one that made me laugh the most because I don't know how relatable this is. Kidnapping. Getting kidnapped. Have you ever been kidnapped before? No, but if so, skip it. Skip it. Get it. Delete it. Skip it.

1:01:01Big Cat:Any trauma whatsoever.

1:01:03PFT Commenter:I was just like, Zach, I don't know if that one plays because a lot of people don't get kidnapped. But I would say the ones who have would be like, yeah, if I could just not have been, if I could forget it all.

1:01:13Big Cat:Yeah, true. But then what if, what if you get, what if you keep getting kidnapped? What if you get recovered by the police and they're like, can you describe your kidnappers to us? And you're like, fuck. Yeah. And then you have to think it could be anybody.

1:01:23PFT Commenter:Or you keep making the same mistake, keep getting in that van.

1:01:26Big Cat:Yeah. I think forgetting the trauma would be better than the justice being served. So maybe they got away with kidnapping me, but at least I don't have to remember how it went down.

1:01:33PFT Commenter:Okay.

1:01:34Big Cat:But anyone offers you free candy, you're kind of a sitting duck. Yeah. We had losing a Mount Rushmore that you chose. We had a pizza toppings Mount Rushmore. We had meeting your childhood hero and stepping on their sunglasses. We had Hail Marys that go against your team. For a while, we thought maybe we'll just go nuclear against everybody. Again, this was part of the getting over it. It was a cleanse. We had to cleanse it with all our mint things. That's good. That's healthy. Yeah. Last season of Game of Thrones. Oh, good call. Good call. Anything else, Hank? Hank, you should watch Severance.

1:02:14I think you would like it.

1:02:16PFT Commenter:Yeah, you should. What about, like, I was trying to figure out, like, if there's a way that your innie could just eat healthy. We said that. We said dieting, but, like. Actually having a diet. Like, maybe every meal during dieting. Mm-hmm. So it's just, like. Like if you had the chip every time you stepped in your kitchen, and then that guy was just eating the best food. The most healthy food. Yeah, that would be good. You walk out and you're like satisfied. Yeah. And you have no idea that you just - You're full, but you don't realize you're full on celery. Right, right. What? They're so fucked, by the way.

1:02:51They ran back inside. They're just going to die in there.

1:02:55PFT Commenter:Oh, we're talking real severance. Mark, yeah. Yeah, we'll see. It's going to be interesting what happens. When is the next season? Do we know? Wait, didn't you say that you didn't watch the show? No, he watched. Yeah, we talked about it for weeks.

1:03:11Big Cat:Big Cat said a second ago, Hank, you would really like Severance, I think. I said that. Or Max said that. Because Hank told me that he'd never watched the show before we started this. Oh, good job, Hank. Mental. Art of War. Very smart. So you had seen it? Appear weak when you were strong. Yes, I fucking was obsessed with it. Hank just... Why did you tell me you'd never seen it then? I was just upset with you. What does that have to do with... I said, why are we doing this? And I said, what's the Mel Rushmore again? You said, it's things you'd like to be severed from. I said, what does that mean?

1:03:39I've never seen the show. Got him. What is that? Dude, you got chess pieced by him. You did. You got chess pieced. Shit, that's on me. You got pieced up. Actually, yeah, I do remember talking to you about the show. Yes. Yeah.

1:03:50PFT Commenter:Yes. He talked about it all the time. My boy had you in a pretzel. We all talked about it together. I severed that. You got pieced. You got pieced up. But I don't understand, like, where's the joy coming from that?

1:03:59Big Cat:Right now. Yeah. Right now.

1:04:01PFT Commenter:You look like a fucking idiot.

I know you only give yourself two minutes to enjoy a major victory, but I did see you on the red carpet of Happy Gilmore 2 with all these guys, and you had the Claret Jug.

1:06:43PFT Commenter:Was that the coolest thing? Were you able to allow yourself an extra couple days of enjoying the victory when you're standing with the Claret jug at a red carpet premiere yeah i mean that was that was pretty cool um i think i think sometimes it feels like my wife and i live like two separate lives where you have like this one life where you're going out and doing kind of crazy stuff like that where you know one day we're playing in the open championship and the next day we're in new york at you know premiere of happy gilmore like a movie i grew up watching and then you know the next morning we go out early get some bagels and then we catch a flight and head home, and then stuff's just back to normal.

1:07:20But, yeah, that was pretty fun.

1:07:22Big Cat:Yeah. It seemed like a good time. Congratulations. You are the champion golfer of the year. Is that the official moniker? That's the official deal, yeah. The champion golfer of the year. It's a great title to hold. And the jug, I'm a big fan of the Claret Jug. I don't know if you're a big partier, though. Like, did you drink anything fun out of the Claret Jug? I haven't drank anything out of the Claret Jug. Yeah, we actually have a celebration planned this Friday with a bunch of our friends here at home. So that'll be the time to celebrate. But really, I mean, we got done late Sunday night. Then you do all the stuff after.

1:07:57We actually had to catch a flight to get to New York to get to the Happy Gilmore premiere. Because we had planned on that all along. So we had everything scheduled. So it kind of got out of town pretty quick. So we didn't have much time to celebrate.

1:08:10Big Cat:Yeah. Did you fly with the trophy? Did you carry it on or did you have to check that? I did not bring it on the plane. It went underneath the plane. We were riding. We rode over with Bryson and Tony Finau, so it didn't really feel like I should be just bringing the Tracy on the plane. That's nice of you. I guess my question was presupposing that you were flying commercial over there and back, which I realized was a very dumb question to ask in the moment. But, yeah, I mean, you played really, really well. I sense that watching you play in the open, that the biggest moments of celebration for you on the course weren't for birdies or great scores on holes, but on your pars that you had, your unlikely pars with your putter.

1:08:52Big Cat:Is that kind of how you process it as you're going through, like being able to use your putter to get you out of a jam? That was what you got the most satisfaction out of? Well, yeah, I mean, that's a good observation. I think, you know, I made some important putts. Yeah, good shot. Yeah, thanks. Ball knower. No, like I said, that was a good point. I think, especially during Sunday's round, I made a nice birdie on one, good birdie on four, and then I made a really nice putt on five. And so I had maybe a five - or six-shot lead. And I think when you have a big lead like that, you don't really want to give the guys behind you much to look at in terms of, like, oh, he's making some mistakes.

1:09:28You know, if I could do this and that, then it'll put some pressure on him. And so making those putts for par are really important, especially the ones I made for par. Like the putt I made for par on six was I hit the iron shot exactly how I wanted to. And the ball just did not react in the air at all how we thought it would. And then on seven, it's a reachable par five. I shouldn't have a putt for par there. I should be having a pretty good look for birdie. And so to make that putt also, both of those were really important for momentum during the round. And it was just nice to kind of be able to stay ahead of those guys.

1:09:57PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah. I mean, your mental game is insane. like they had the stat about you know when you bogey a hole your your your bounce back is just like off the charts uh and you you mentioned you obviously have a big lead on Sunday human nature at what point were you like all right I think I got this or do you not allow yourself at all I mean I've allowed myself to do that once in my career uh it was at the Masters in 22 and I putt in the last hole and so i mean i during the middle of the round you just you can't let yourself think like that um really i didn't really feel like it was one until you hit the ball in the green on 18 you're like all right i can figure out a way to like lag it up there and five putts or whatever it was that i had to deal with there at the end so it's very difficult but yeah i try not to let my mind wander that kind of stuff and really feel like you haven't won just because especially in wings golf like disasters can happen like that i mean like i after i made those par putts on six and seven on Sunday you know I come back on number eight and I quickly make a double and so you just don't know you just don't know what's going to happen and so you got to be prepared for all things and you know try not to celebrate too early yeah I mean it was it was incredible tournament you were on fire uh what what is special about Ted Scott your caddy because this is not only obviously he's been on your bag uh for these major victories but he was on Bubba Watson's bag like it seems that he is at the top of his game at the same time that you're top of your game.

1:11:24PFT Commenter:Is that fair to say? Yeah. I mean, Teddy is an amazing caddy and he's a great, he's a great person. I mean, he, he's one of those guys that, um, when he meets somebody, they feel like they're his best friend because he just treats people so well. He's an amazing guy to be around. Everybody's his best friend. He's extremely likable. Um, and so having him out there on the bag, like he, he works as hard as I do, if not harder. And so when he gives me information out there on the golf course, then I can really, I can really trust knowing that He's not just making stuff up. He knows exactly what slope is up there.

1:11:55He knows exactly how the ball is going to react. He just knows his stuff so that I can go out there and just try to hit the shot. I feel like with both of us out there, his preparation is so important to what we do. He's just a great asset for me on the golf course. He's one of my best friends in the whole world, too. He's just an all-around great guy.

1:12:12PFT Commenter:Yeah. Is there a specific time, maybe it wasn't even this tournament, where you maybe disagreed about a shot and you leaned towards him and it was spot on? and you're like, fuck, he really knows this? Yeah, that's a good question. Thank you. Yeah, that's a great question.

1:12:32Gosh, I don't have a good memory for that kind of stuff. I'm kind of one of those guys that like once the day ends, I feel like I forget everything. But I definitely have some instances of some putts for sure where there's been – like the Olympics last year was a great example of a week where I was just struggling on the greens and we made the turn – on Sunday and I missed another easy um I missed another easy birdie put on nine and all of a sudden the tournament's like getting away from me um I'm arguably out of metal contention at this point I look at Teddy I'm like dude I don't know what I'm doing out here he's like well just let me read some putts and I was like okay and so he started reading putts for me the whole back nine Sunday um in Paris and I basically made everything and we played great and ended up you know winning him a gold medal and we got off the course and when the tournament was over i was like teddy i literally did not think that i could have won this golf thing without you on my bag like i i don't think there's a way that i could have done it and that was just a really cool moment for us because in golf like teddy really is such a huge part of what we do but i think sometimes in golf that you focus so much on the player but teddy is you know a huge part of what i do and it was really cool to be able to share that moment with him be like i i literally could not have

1:13:41Big Cat:on this is I get one back yeah that's awesome seems like a great dude um when we're watching you dominate the field at the open championship and really it's been for the last I'd say year or so um the discourse inevitably becomes is Scotty Scheffler Tiger Woods everything about you gets compared to Tiger Woods and the start that he got off to do you find those comparisons flattering or are they like rat poison like don't tell me that I don't want to hear that we're different people uh because i feel like if somebody compared me to tiger woods i'd be like hell yeah yeah i'm tiger you know like i'd be excited about that yeah i mean i think anytime you can get mentioned in the same breath as some of the greats of the game i think is really cool but the comparisons i think are just very silly like tiger stands alone in the game of golf me completely transcended the game he was by far the best player that i think we'll ever see in our lifetimes and uh i mean i think people are always looking for that next thing but there's only there's only one tiger woods and you know the rest of us are just trying to do our best out there i think that's really all it comes down to i think for me i think it's silly too just because like i'm my own person i'm my own guy i'm just trying to get the best out of myself and um it's not something that i think about on a daily basis but when you see some statistics and you're being compared to them in some way that means you're

1:14:58PFT Commenter:doing you know something right yeah yeah um i i alluded to at the beginning i was half joking about the you can celebrate a major for two minutes. You had the comments on before the Open Championship. Were you surprised that people kind of took it in a weird way? Because I watched it and I said, Scotty's basically saying that you can't have golf just be the only thing in your life because if it starts to fail, then like what's life, you know? And you have a family and you have faith and all these other things that are just as important to you. Yeah, I would say that that's what I was trying to communicate.

1:15:33because like we we are i'm sitting there in the media center again they're like hey how are you going to do this to win this week what's what's going to happen this week and i'm just sitting there thinking like guys i'm answering the same questions over and over again like if i win this tournament i'm going to show up at the next tournament you're gonna be like all right how are you going to win this week and it's like you just live in this in this you know time frame where like it's we're always on to the next thing and um you know that's that's really how it feels sometimes like uh just when it comes to celebrating like it feels really awesome for those those few like fleeting moments of just like pure elation after you win a golf tournament like when the ball finally goes the whole sunday give teddy a hug shake hands and i see my wife and my son it's like i mean it's the craziest feeling in the world but it just does not last like that that adrenaline that feeling just lasts for a few moments and it's i mean it's like a drug you just want more of it but the feeling of like happiness and satisfaction having being able to accomplish like a lifelong dream will last for me for a long time.

1:16:30Like, I mean, it's a pretty amazing thing for me to be able to accomplish something like that. And it's something that I'm very grateful for. But like you said, it's not the only thing that's in my life. Like striving to win golf tournaments is the only thing is going to lead to a lifetime of disappointment basically.

1:16:45PFT Commenter:Right. Right. Do you, did you realize when you had that press conference that it, uh, maybe you, you weren't planning this, but it was a total mind fuck for your competition because you're playing so well. and you're like, yeah, and I only celebrate for like two minutes. I remember walking out of that room and I'm looking at Blake. My manager of Nets is all like 10 years old. I was like, gosh, why did I just start ranting like that? I was like, this is why I don't say anything. Things get taken out of context. I'm just like, I don't know why I did that. I hope that made a little bit of sense to some people.

1:17:20He's like, no, that's all right. Let's go.

1:17:21Big Cat:Yeah, I think it was good. I think it was great. We're being honest, and I don't think that you said anything that was incorrect at all. The thing I'm starting to be concerned about, do allow your son to celebrate the championships for too long? Like, does he get a big head? Because a lot of guys use their children as human shields when they do something bad. You do the opposite. He, like, deflects the success from you. Yeah. Where he might get a big head. He's a star. Because he's a champion. The kid, all he does is win. Have you had a moment where you're like, hey, this is very hard to do, and they only remember that you won, you know, one week at a time.

1:17:53Big Cat:We're on to the next one. Yeah, yeah, it's been a real challenge keeping Ben humble in this time. Getting a little too big for his britches. He's getting a little cocky. We're humbling him now at home. He's getting back in line.

1:18:06PFT Commenter:Yeah, is he bored of it? All he does is win on Sunday. Does he love winning? Well, he loves it. He definitely has an idea of what's going on for sure. Yeah, yeah. But back to your comments, though. I think that the reason why it kind of made a life of its own is that when we look at athletes, we think that's all they care about. And you're just being honest. You're like, Hey, I got other things. Like, I love this. I care about it. Obviously, if I didn't care about it the way I do, I wouldn't be as good as I am, but it's weird. Like it's, it's almost jarring for sometimes for people to be like, Oh, these guys are humans too.

1:18:39PFT Commenter:And they have other things going on in their lives. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that's something that'll resonate with you guys as well. Like you live a life of doing a sports show and, you know talking to the masses day in day out and but like that's not your whole life that's what you do in a time period during the day and then you go home and you do other stuff you know you have a family you have friends and you like like when i think about my son like what would be my goal for my son to be in his life and like when i think about i'm just like i want i want ben to live a full life i want him to experience things and so the way to experience things is like trying to be present where you are and so you know when we're here doing i'm doing this interview with you guys you know my phone's up i'm not distracted doing my other things you know we're going to enjoy 15, 20 minutes, wherever it is.

1:19:19And then I'm going to head out and I'm going to go spend some time with my son. And like, you just want to be present where you are and be, have a full experience of things. And that's my goal for him. I don't want him. I don't want to hit the most important thing in his life to be his job or to be something that he can accomplish. Like I want him to just live a full life and experience things.

1:19:39PFT Commenter:Yeah. It's a great, it's a great, great perspective. At Boar's Head, we've been going back to school for over 115 years.

1:20:42Big Cat:And now here's more Scotty Scheffler.

1:20:44PFT Commenter:I have a weird question for you have you seen the movie boss baby no okay um well this will be hard to explain then uh it's a animated movie maybe Bennett will watch it when he gets a little older I watch it with my kids a lot and it's basically like it's a baby and but he can talk like a human when the other adults aren't around and he's like a mastermind is there a chance Bennett is a boss baby and he's actually giving you all the tips of the golf game yeah there is a chance you know there was a, there was a couple of photographs that we saw on, on Sunday after the round where he's like, like, like what, what are we?

1:21:19And it just, I mean, it killed us. That's what made me think of it.

1:21:22PFT Commenter:Cause I saw the one where he was like, what, this is impressive. We do this every Sunday.

1:21:26Big Cat:Yeah.

1:21:28PFT Commenter:He might be boss baby.

1:21:29Big Cat:When people, when I, when I hear people say like Scotty Shuffler, they get annoyed. Like, Oh, I don't think he loves golf as much as I do. Or that, that type of thing. I think you love golf. You love winning at golf. You could, you wouldn't be at the spot that you're at right now if you didn't like deeply, deeply care about improving as golfer, but there are things that are more important in life than, than golf. So I have a list of things. You tell me if you love winning at golf more than these things and we can put some of the, you know, put the haters in their place, uh, mowing the lawn. Yeah.

1:22:01I'd rather, I'd rather win a golf tournament.

1:22:03Big Cat:Okay. Ice cream. Yeah, probably golf tournament. Okay. Obeying lawful commands from a police officer. It's overrated. And then the last one, Stu Feiner. Yeah, Stu Feiner. As much as I love good old Stu Feiner, probably still good with golf.

1:22:22PFT Commenter:Okay, so you really love golf. Yeah. What about the Dallas Cowboys? Yeah, that's a good one. If the Dallas Cowboys won a Super Bowl, I think that would be up there for sure.

1:22:32Big Cat:Okay, so we found the line. Yeah, what's the conversion rate? Like one major for a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl, or would you give up two? Gosh, that's a good question. Good question. Yeah, another great question. Hard-hitting for the afternoon. Gosh, I don't know. I would trade one for sure for a Super Bowl.

1:22:54PFT Commenter:Okay. I've been rooting for a Super Bowl for a long time as well. A lot of hard work has gone into cheering on the boys and arguably a lot more disappointed in football than there is in golf. How many waste managements? Oh, like 10.

1:23:10Big Cat:Oh, all right.

1:23:11PFT Commenter:Okay, yeah, there's the conversion.

1:23:13Big Cat:You know that I'm sure Stu Finer's going to be out at the Ryder Cup for you. Yeah. It's like in his backyard.

1:23:19PFT Commenter:Literally his backyard. He lives like half a mile from Bethpage. Well, that'll be fun. We need all the support we can get out there. Yeah. Stu would definitely be part of a rowdy New York crowd. Yeah. Are you excited? Because I was saying this on a show I was doing just a second ago. This is the time of season where I just miss Stu. I'm ready for Stu to get back. Do you miss Stu? Are you ready for him to be back on your Sundays? Yeah, I mean, football season is definitely something that we long for, for sure. That's what's great about football. It's like you only get it for this period of time in the year, and then it ends, and you're like, crap.

1:23:52It's like it ends in February. You're like, oh, my gosh, what am I going to do until September? You're like – and so, you know, just – it's exciting, yeah.

1:24:01PFT Commenter:Yeah. I'm ready to get Stu back. I'm ready to, you know, watch the Longhorns, watch the Cowboys. It's going to be fun. Yeah, it's funny you say that because it's like, what do you do starting February? Just win all the golf tournaments. That's pretty good. Yeah, you have the best. You actually have the best. That was the most relatable fan moment ever.

1:24:18Big Cat:But your offseason from football, I think, is better than anybody else's on planet Earth.

1:24:23PFT Commenter:Yeah. You're just like, but I really wish. I just won another major, but I really wish it was football season. That's great. All right, I got a question. This probably – you probably don't love when people ask for tips on their golf game, but I got a friend who I'm wondering if you can maybe fix him real quick. So I'm going to lay it on you, and you can tell me what he could work on. He said, the thing about my golf game is that I slice my driver pretty often. I'm not super comfortable hitting with woods or hybrids. My five or six irons are inconsistent. Seven and nine are solid. Pitching wedge and sand wedge are fun for loft, but I struggle chopping those.

1:25:01PFT Commenter:I putt the ball. I'm also just okay at putting that's the thing that's the one thing yeah that's the one thing do you have any tips gosh I don't know where to start I was trying to crack it first and then I just got lost yeah he just kept on going what do you think about this golfer our friend Steven Shea what do you think about teeing it up in the fairway would you ever do that I mean no not in the fairway but teeing it up is actually a really good way to practice when you're learning golf but by no means when you're actually playing golf would I be teeing the ball up in the fairway

1:25:34Big Cat:he does that yeah he tees it up in the fairway I mean I respect it for pace of play yeah that's tragic for pace of play our resident golf expert Hank probably has a question for you

1:25:46PFT Commenter:yeah Hank actually has gotten a lot better at golf so he's I don't think Scotty cares Hank is really good at golf

1:25:54Big Cat:if you're at a point in your life where you're beating Hank you are a very good golfer 50 beat me last week. Do you have an internal monologue? Like, when you make a bogey, Big Cow is talking about the bounce back stats. Like, do you get mad at yourself? Do you talk to yourself? Or do you just, like, blank everything out when you're playing? No, I mean, like, when you're on the golf course, you're on the golf course for a long period of time, especially on Thursdays and Fridays when we're playing threes. I mean, you're out there for five and a half, six hours, so your mind definitely wanders throughout the day.

1:26:25But I think what's most important is the time you spend over the ball. But then, yeah, when mistakes happen, I get really frustrated. I'm not sure exactly what I say. It depends on the day for sure. But, yeah, I just get really frustrated. Early in my career, I would definitely take it too far to the point where it would start affecting what I would do after that. But I think getting the frustration out is what's important and, like, leaving it there. And so, like, yeah, I may bang a club or two. I may slam something. But by the time I get over the next shot, like I'm focused on what's at hand here.

1:27:00But I don't really have like a good trick per se to be like, hey, you know, you'll get on the next one. You're like, that's not going to work. I just hit it in the water. Like, what do you mean the next one? I'm about to make double here.

1:27:10PFT Commenter:Yeah. And so I think it's more just trying to reset, like let the frustration be there. And then when you start walking to the next shot, it's like start playing ahead and figuring out what you're going to do to shoot a score. There you go, Hank. We should talk real quick. Happy Gilmore 2 is out on Friday. How are you at acting? Grade yourself, Scotty Scheffler, the actor, in Happy Gilmore 2. I mean, maybe like a C-, you know, a passing grade. Okay. I give myself a passing grade, but I'm definitely not going to give myself much more than that. I mean, yeah. How many lines did you have? I had a few lines.

1:27:49I mean, it was fun. I'll let y 'all watch the movie. We I mean, so we watched it on Monday night and I was I mean, I was surprised by how much we enjoyed the movie. I mean, it's so hard with comedies to follow up the original, especially when the original is such a classic like that. They did a really, really good job of, you know, kind of remembering the original movie by having a lot of that stuff in there. Like a lot of reminiscing about the old movie while still having like a good storyline for the new one and lots of really funny stuff. I mean, I was cracking up like a lot of the guys that came in and did their cameos, did an amazing job.

1:28:21And, you know, Adam, they did such a good job on set of keeping you relaxed. Like when you walk into this area and all of a sudden we're filming a movie, that's something that I'm extremely uncomfortable with. And they just do a good job of making you feel at home, being your friend. Everybody on set was so amazing. I mean, it was really, really relaxed. And you can tell why Adam's so good at producing movies and why he always has the same guys come back time and time again because they have fun and they do a really good job and they make everybody comfortable.

1:28:49Big Cat:So amongst your peers, other golfers, who was the best actor? I mean, the one I laughed the hardest at, I actually texted Xander this the other day, was Xander's lines in the movie are really, really funny. Him and Ricky did a really good job. And so did Will Zalatouris. I mean, to be honest with you, I thought everybody did a great job. I mean, I can't imagine how difficult it is for real actors to deal with us trying to make a movie not look terrible. And they did a really good job of, like, helping us along and just doing a really good job with the movie. I mean, it was really entertaining and really funny.

1:29:19PFT Commenter:Yeah, that's a good mental game thing, too. Again, let them be better at acting. You can handle the golf. You got the sneaky mental game going. Get them a little off. They're like, oh, yeah, you can't do this. Are we going to win the Ryder Cup? That's the plan. We got to win the Ryder Cup. Please. Please. Hey, nobody wants to win the Ryder Cup more than I do. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Can you – I guess there are a lot of rules, but it would be awesome if you just called your own number for every match and you just like a chess master when they play like 10 people at once you just do that you walk

1:29:51Big Cat:from the first hole to like the 13th to hit your second shot then back to the first yeah no the right the right comes gonna be fun it's it'll be exciting it's gonna be back on home soil um and keegan i mean keegan's been been amazing so far i mean he's been he's been great for us he's extremely fired up and um i think i think the whole team right now is really excited about about getting there it's coming home that's what we've been saying uh does rory have any more tips for you on how to improve your game and make you more dominant no no since then he hadn't really hadn't really given me any tips honestly were you thinking about making that change because i know the story got written about like rory mcelroy told scotty scheffler hey here's what you should change about your putter and then you did that because rory said it but there might be more nuance to it than that yeah i think rory said something about me switching putters on coverage somewhere but i i have a putting coach phil candy who helps with all that stuff and um you know he'd been trying to get me to do that for a while and he'd also been trying to get me to switch to the claw grip for a while and i finally just you know gave into phil's kind of pestering of me trying new things and kind of gave in and you know a lot of this works so far phil's been phil's been tremendous yeah it's almost not fair how you get at putting now that's it it's really are you good for golf you tell me no i mean you're you're you're dominant and you are fun to watch And so we respect greatness on this show.

1:31:12PFT Commenter:Yeah. Did you happen to see the Phil Mickelson tweet? I did see the Phil Mickelson tweet. It was quite a tweet. It was quite a tweet. It was a great tweet. It was a great tweet. He said you weren't going to win anything. And I actually think he threw in. So I think the real tweet was hot take. Scotty's not going to win anything in 2025 until the Ryder Cup. I think he was just throwing in the Ryder Cup because he couldn't go against USA there. I think he really wanted to say you're not going to win anything. I would agree with that. I think that's what he was trying to say, but you can't say that America's going to lose the Ryder Cup when you're an American.

1:31:44So he was kind of throwing that little cookie there at the end because Phil's not dumb. Phil's very smart.

1:31:48PFT Commenter:Yeah, but that was a really dumb tweet because you've won everything. Yeah, didn't age very well, which I'm very pleased with.

1:31:57Big Cat:I have a very important question for you. At the Open, I'm trying to remember what hole it was. I think it was the 17th. Did you fart? yeah that was me was it actually oh yeah that was me that's awesome was that just a complete accident I mean no you're out there for like 6 hours you're eating some different food over there some stuff's gonna happen did you know that it was that loud no I mean you never know when the boom mic's there you never know what they're gonna pick up I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened more in the past, picking up stuff like that. But I literally didn't think anything about it.

1:32:43Then after we got inside, Xander was showing me the video. He pulled up the video and I see myself standing on 17. I was like, oh, I know what this is.

1:32:52PFT Commenter:Wait, did none of the reporters ask you? No. Wow. Bad journalism. Yeah. That's a big get. How would you grade your fart? I thought it was very funny. It was great. It was a good part. Yeah, good. It got a nice sound to it. Yeah. It had to smell it because we were outside. It was perfect. Yeah, because, like, that actually, now that I'm thinking about it, like, that's actually a nervous situation. Like, what if you had, like, a little, like, toot, and it was like, ooh, that's Scotty's farts? Like, ugh. Yeah, I would judge you. What the hell? Like, what was that? That was a man's fart. That was a man's fart.

1:33:23Great.

1:33:24PFT Commenter:Did it smell? No, we were outside, so, I mean, Breeze is blonde. Somebody else caught it. It wasn't me. All right, I got one last question. At Raising Cane's, we focus on making the most crepeable chicken finger meals, getting them right every time. That's why we hand batter every chicken finger, mix every cane sauce, butter every Texas toast, stir every slaw, salt every fry, squeeze every lemon, and brew every ounce. We do this inside every Raising Cane's, every day. Because when you do it right, you can taste it in every bite. Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, one love. This has been awesome, Scotty.

1:34:04PFT Commenter:We love having you on. Happy Gilmore 2 out Friday, July 25th, which is today when this is airing. This is an important question. I'm going to see how you're going to handle it because you're actually the perfect guy to ask this question. And this is something we ask a lot of guests. Do you think you're a better golfer or person?

1:34:26You know, I think right now that's a good question. I would say that I definitely fall short as a person. Like it would be tough to say that I'm, you know, the best person in the world. This is getting you higher on the person.

1:34:45PFT Commenter:Yeah, but this is a conundrum for us.

1:34:47Big Cat:Because usually when people say better human being than he is a golfer, we're like, no, wait a second. This guy is far and away the best golfer in the world. He's not top number one. But the fact that you're so humble that you acknowledge you have shortcomings,

1:35:01PFT Commenter:it's making me think let me ask you in a different way have you come to grips with the fact that you will never be a better person than you are a golfer yeah i mean i think shit i mean it's like i just you know i think my wife's in the next room if you want her to she's got her phone right now of all my you know transgressions so you can tell you i'm very far from a perfect person. Damn it. You got us because it is one of our favorite like cliches that like it started when JJ Watt retired and they're like JJ Watt as good of a football player was as he was, he's a better person. It's like, listen, he's a great person, but that just can't be true.

1:35:41PFT Commenter:Cause he's one of the best football players of all time. You can't be one of the best 100 humans of all time. It's not saying you're a bad human. It's just saying you're the best golfer. There's no way you'll ever be a better person than golfer. Yeah. I think that's, that's a fair option god damn it now he's the best person now you are the best really hard it's like schrodinger's cat you completely checkmate us we've been doing this bit for years and this is the first person to be like yeah you know what i i i'm i gotta get better as a person but i'm probably never gonna be a better person than the sport i play shit this is really tough for us i

1:36:13Big Cat:think he's a better person i think you as good yeah i think as good a human being as you're a golfer tiger tiger maybe you could make the argument tiger was a better golfer over his career yeah scotty sheffler yeah so you've got some room to go go up but the more you win the harder that conversation is gonna be for us to have yeah damn yeah i would say i have plenty of room to improve on the person front and definitely plenty of room to improve as a golfer you check

1:36:38PFT Commenter:maintenance well done yeah well done scotty scotty you're the best man uh thank you so much for your time we really appreciate it happy gilmore too anytime you want to come on we love having you on recurring guest and congrats again man incredible season let's go win the Ryder Cup yeah let's do it let's do it well thanks guys appreciate you having me on good to talk to you guys again I'll see you soon what happens when you lock 18 co-workers in an office for one week to compete for a quarter million dollars of cash this is surviving barstool season five presented by rumble premium where each episode releases three hours early so get an ad free before anybody else only when you join Rumble Premium.

The biggest boy chair. He's sitting in the big boy chair. He's in P.A.T.C. You can fill that seat out nicely, Hank. Yeah. Oh, look at that. No, this feels right. It's very funny. Oh, he's continuing the trend from Mount Rushmore to take shots at everyone. Hank. No, well, PFT is whatever. Yeah, yeah. PFT is sick. I don't want to beat him in when he's down.

1:38:52We also had a great Mount Rushmore today. But my Firefest is Mount Rushmore related, I guess. I might have had a bad day at work yesterday. I might have been lashing out left and right.

1:39:04PFT Commenter:Well, I think what I said I think was spot on. This is every summer. It literally is just, you know. Yeah, but you want to grow as a human. Literally any action towards you, and then it's just over. And get more mature. No. I don't want you to grow or get more mature. That's what makes this fun. Hank just kept coming up to me all day yesterday telling me how useless I am. Yeah. Like when AWLs say they're excited for Mount Rushmore season, I think what they're really saying is they're excited for Hank Lashout season. Because that's what it is.

1:39:36Big Cat:That's the feature part of the summer. The beauty about it is we keep getting older, and Hank stays the same age. He's like Peter Pan. Yeah. But yeah, that was after some reflection. I felt a little bit bad about that. Max, I somewhat apologize.

1:39:51PFT Commenter:So he is useful? Yeah, sometimes. Somewhat accept. Somewhat accept. Somewhat accept. That's fair.

1:39:59Big Cat:You show me a good loser, I'll show you a loser. Hank takes it personally. He takes it seriously, and that's why I love having him on my team. I'd much rather have a guy like Hank on there that just lashes out and goes nuclear against everybody when they open their mouth than a guy that doesn't care at all about Mount Rushmore. Yeah. And Scotty's words have actually resonated with me. I've been thinking about him a lot. Just let it all out. By the time you're stepping over the ball on your next shot, you got to be focused.

1:40:25PFT Commenter:Do you think you're going to be able to be Scotty Scheffler? No, but I think in terms of dealing with frustrations, that's a good way to think about it. Like I was wondering if he maybe just like internalizes it or doesn't get frustrated, but he was like, no. you can get frustrated you should get frustrated just get it all out and yesterday was me getting it all out okay wait wait so your takeaway from scotty was you're like lashing out and being mean to people and taking shots at people is totally fine that's healthy part of the process yes okay i like that as long as you're as long as the next about rushmore yeah yeah it's clear or next by Rushmore recording your mind is clear.

1:41:09PFT Commenter:For a second there I was like did Scotty Scheffler make Hank more mature and it's like no he actually just told Hank. Hank just interpreted Scotty Scheffler's words into you're doing nothing wrong dude. According to Hank, Scotty Scheffler said don't be mad before you record the next episode. I have something else. He goes over the bowl like the next bowl.

1:41:31Big Cat:He said I'm just like you Hank. Me and you react to adversity and failures. No, see, now you're gaslighting.

1:41:38PFT Commenter:Max is right, too, though. He does stand over the ball like 100 times. No, he goes over to the next ball like five minutes later. Yeah. We do a Mount Rushmore every two days. Yeah. So that's 10 minutes and 48 hours. You did carry it into the next Mount Rushmore. But that was, was that before or after we did Scotty Scheffler? It was after. No, it was good yesterday. I mean, kind of. Me and PFT crushed it. No, no, wait. Wait, are you saying good, like, doing well on Mount Rushmore or being nice to us? Being in a good mindset. Okay, so being nice to us is irrelevant.

1:42:13Big Cat:It's about the mindset.

1:42:14PFT Commenter:Okay, all right, got it.

1:42:15Big Cat:It's about being nice to yourself. That's what Scotty was saying. You have to forgive yourself for your transgressions. It has nothing to do with being a dick to everyone else. What he was saying is you've got to be focused, like, you've got to be able to, you know, hyper-focus on what's in front of you. Sometimes, in order to win in what's in front of me, like, shots have to be taken.

1:42:32PFT Commenter:Yeah, to get to what's in front of you, you have to basically push everyone down. That's Mount Rushmore season. It's a competition. You got to win.

1:42:40Big Cat:Who do you think loves their family more? Scotty Scheffler with his kid or Hank with his 18 kids?

1:42:45PFT Commenter:It's tough.

1:42:46Big Cat:It's tough. Probably Scotty.

1:42:49PFT Commenter:You really love your 18 kids. I do. A lot. I do. A lot, a lot. A lot. A lot of 18 kids, sometimes 27 kids. Yeah, sometimes 36. Yeah. sometimes go ahead 54 there you go it's live remember it's live alright you have to your Mount Rush wait so sorry your fire fest just in summation your fire fest is don't change anything no false my fire fest is I was lashing out yesterday and I apologize but you're going to do it again no if I hit a bad shot my goal is to not hit any bad shots yeah but if you hit a bad shot But Scotty told you it's okay to walk up to your coworkers and tell them they're useless.

1:43:38Not specifically, but that it's okay to lash out.

1:43:42PFT Commenter:Okay. Yeah.

1:43:44Big Cat:By the way, I love the countdown clock. The countdown clock to football is good. I think it could be bigger, Zach. That's my only note. I would like a bigger clock. I would like multiple clocks. And I was telling them I want this clock to explode when football hits. like when it hits zero i want some sort of some sort of like uh fireworks or pyrotechnics that comes out of it and then he asked me what other clocks i think we should have what do you think

1:44:07PFT Commenter:about this one big cat wait but wait before i want to hear the next clock but i actually i disagree on the explode i think it should always be resetting until the next football game starts so like when we're taping on sunday night it should be the countdown to monday night football

1:44:19Big Cat:so we're like football we could have there that's another clock yeah that's fine is we have a separate clock for a countdown on Monday. What do you think about this one, though? Countdown clock till Hank turns 40.

1:44:32PFT Commenter:Love it. Let's do it.

1:44:33Big Cat:Yeah, put it up there.

1:44:34PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, we should just have the whole wall be countdown clocks. Yeah, I love that. Yeah. Yeah, we got to count down to the World Cup. That's crazy. I was going to say what's crazy that you're going to be 40. Yeah. Oh, we will not still be doing this. Yeah, we will just make him think about it all day every day when he's at work what the fuck are you gonna do you're gonna be doing this podcast yeah you are that's that would be crazy yeah you are you're he's gonna be 60 years

1:45:06Big Cat:old laughing out of people yeah because he screwed up the mount rushmore of easily digestible foods

1:45:12PFT Commenter:um okay uh i love that we should get a couple countdown clocks going uh zach get on that uh PFT, what's your fire fest?

1:45:20Big Cat:I mean, my fire fest is that I'm sick, which sucks. So woke up in the middle of the night, cold sweat, chills, aches, not looking for any sympathy. But I did happen to Google the effects of a brown recluse spider bite this morning.

1:45:38PFT Commenter:Uh-oh.

1:45:39Big Cat:And I'll just put it at that.

1:45:41PFT Commenter:Are those all the effects?

1:45:44Big Cat:Chills.

1:45:45PFT Commenter:So they killed you from the grave? Do you have a spot on you?

1:45:48Big Cat:like do you have a sometimes i read that it can take hours sometimes days for the symptom to show up oh so this could have it could have happened a couple days ago after i talked all that shit i don't i don't think that's what it is but i did i did notice that i got a spider bite on my arm so i don't i don't think it's a brown recluse it doesn't look like a brown recluse bite but sometimes they change wouldn't it uh wouldn't the the bite like have like a bunch of marks on it and stuff i guess when it first pops up it just looks like a normal spider bite what does the circle look like that's it yeah i would show it to you it's like it's right up here on the bicep uh i also think that i would have noticed the brown recluse on my arm it's not a small spider so well i'd say there's only one you said and you killed it it could be when you were sleeping it could have been that one but there's only one but you killed it one yeah i killed it There's no other ones.

1:46:40Big Cat:That one might have gotten me before I got it.

1:46:43PFT Commenter:Got it.

1:46:44Big Cat:Kind of like both two worthy competitors going out on their swords.

1:46:47PFT Commenter:Even though you killed it a week ago?

1:46:49Big Cat:I killed on Friday. Okay, so that was almost a week ago? Almost a week ago. Yeah. I put it at like 25 % chance it's a brown recluse spider bite. That's making me feel like this.

1:47:00PFT Commenter:And you have more brown recluse spiders in your house.

1:47:03Big Cat:No, I don't. There's just the one. I haven't seen any other ones. Got it. But it is like I'm glad that I'm going through this right now as opposed to next week on Grit Week because that would suck. It's like my body knows, hey, you got to get in shape for next week. Pain is just weakness leaving the body, so I'm going to be at maximum strength next week. Iron sharpens iron. So if it is a brown recluse spider bite, it's like at the end of the day, we're just two competitors going out there on the field of battle. And I think I got the final victory against it, but he might have dinged me up on the way out.

1:47:31Big Cat:Yeah. But that's okay. That's okay. Definitely wasn't one of his other brothers getting revenge for you killing its friend. Definitely wasn't that. No, spiders are dumb. They don't know revenge. They don't understand vengeance. But yeah, that's pretty much it. Pretty clean week besides that. Overall, nothing really to complain about. Very excited about Grit Week next week. Yes. Very excited.

1:47:55PFT Commenter:Very excited for Grit Week. All right. My Fire Fest is we've talked about this. I mean, PFT, we're 40. I'm getting close to a moment where I have to make a decision of whether I should retire or not from sports and fun activities with the boys. My body's broken. We played softball at 10 p.m. last night. I have like four injuries. I puked after the game because it was so hot and I was so uncomfortable that I pulled trigger after the game and I had been running so much that I don't know what to do. I'm either going to do yoga or testosterone. Those are my two options. So I don't know if people want to weigh in and tell me which one I should do, but something has to fix because I can barely walk right now.

1:48:39PFT Commenter:And I played softball.

1:48:40Big Cat:I think you need to look at what other very successful 40 year old athletes do like LeBron James. Oh, and I don't think he'd do either one of those two things.

1:48:47PFT Commenter:So I need to go to Miami for a couple of weeks. Go to Miami for a while.

1:48:51Big Cat:Yeah. And maybe just like take an extended break to regain weight that you lost in a mysterious illness. by the way did you see what jeff teague put up on instagram to apologize yeah he was just joking he went create mode yeah that's that's like pro level notes app that he used to apologize but yeah once you turn 40 and you start exercising at all you just collect injuries you wake up in the morning and your foot hurts and you're like well i guess my foot's gonna hurt for the rest of my life yoga you gotta come i don't think you're doing yoga no i think it's testosterone

1:49:21PFT Commenter:yeah my problem is i in my head i can still do everything like i can still in my head and i enjoy it that's the that's the real issue is i enjoy going out with the boys playing softball what what was that continue finish no finish i enjoy going out with the boys playing softball yeah what was that no i'm saying there's there's other you know activities you can go out with the boys and and participate in competitive sports like things i that aren't gonna hurt you as much I don't want to play golf okay I like to play softball it's fun it's fun with the boys it is I'll play golf too but I don't can we keep it to real sports yeah okay like playing pick up hoops here I don't know I don't want to give it up I don't want to give it up I've got a possible solution for you yeah

1:50:13Big Cat:what about tennis no we get into tennis and then we start becoming tennis boys and then the pod numbers go way up to the roof.

1:50:23PFT Commenter:No. Pickleball? I would never play pickleball. I don't know. I don't have a solution besides golf. Testosterone. Testosterone. Golf and testosterone are my two solutions, but it sucks because we had fun, Max. Hank's not on the team, by the way, anymore at PFT, so don't worry. It's just me and Max memes, so he's out. Yeah, retired too. Yeah. We had fun, even though it was a million degrees last night. Sorry, I want to play if I'm not playing the regular season, not being able to play the playoffs. What's the point? I don't know. Going out with the boys. Going out with the boys. Having fun. Exactly.

1:51:00PFT Commenter:That's the fun part. But, yeah, I literally can't. I didn't sleep last night because my leg, one leg is hurt, and the other leg is I keep getting cramped up.

1:51:10Big Cat:It sucks. It sucks. Nothing worse than, like, was that your first game of the season? No, second that I played in.

1:51:16PFT Commenter:It was our third as a team. But, yeah. it was 90 degrees out that was the problem it had the hot wind so it was really the elements were fucking me up bad like I was drenched in sweat and then I had to pull trigger I was sitting on the bench after the game and I was like if I don't puke right now I might pass out because I'm just like so exhausted and I puked made some room and because I took a sip of water I was like oh I need room and I had to make room

1:51:41Big Cat:so there's an ultra competitive 16 inch softball league that plays right next to my house and I stopped by yesterday. I was taking Blake on a walk yesterday. We walked past the game that's going on and I had to just sit and marvel as a spectator. Like really competitive 16-inch softball is way more exciting to watch than pickleball. These guys were screaming. They were placing their line drives like within a 10-foot span of where they were aiming. It was awesome. These dudes rock.

1:52:08PFT Commenter:Yeah, I used to play him one on... This one is... The one we play in now is not really competitive, which I think that's probably the step down. But just getting to that age where you're like, I want to keep doing the fun things with my friends, but I physically can't is just brutal. So I think it's testosterone.

1:52:25Big Cat:I think that's a good answer. Dude, when you go on the testosterone supplemental stuff, you end up looking awesome. Right. I don't know if you've seen Alex Jones recently.

1:52:34PFT Commenter:Yeah.

1:52:35Big Cat:That's all, man.

1:52:36PFT Commenter:The guy's going to live forever.

1:52:37Big Cat:Yeah. He looks great. He took up smoking too recently, which that's fucking cool as shit to take up smoking when you're like 55 years old. yeah uh zach you got one i do i do a fire fest this week uh something happened a little earlier in the week pretty eye-opening experience for me uh as you guys know uh going through the office sometimes there's like some leftover takeout orders that linger around and they're like hey would you like some fries maybe you like some chicken strips so i did i did uh take the offer some chicken strips before i uh left the office uh means was kind enough to give me a ride home and then i actually i unbeknownst to me i was like all right it's late we're here in the evening time and we grabbed some dinner.

1:53:15Big Cat:So I walked into the McDonald's with McDonald's.

1:53:23PFT Commenter:Oh, no, Zach. I didn't think about it. It was so much shame. Oh, no, Zach. You brought Sam to the beach. I 100 % did. I didn't want to leave the rest of Tenders and Memes' car, so I brought them with me to the McDonald's. It just didn't register that I was walking in there with it. So you are standing there in McDonald's holding McDonald's, ordering McDonald's. Yes. It looks like I'm about to have a complaint with my current order, but I was really just there to order. It was very eye-opening, and we're going to diet so hard.

1:53:55Big Cat:That's awesome. It's like when you go into a gas station, you've already got a 20-ounce soda in your hand, and you show the guy, you're like, I already got this. You tell people at McDonald's, like, hey, I brought this from home. Yeah. I'm not stealing it.

1:54:06PFT Commenter:Yeah, you always declare it. You declare it as you walk in. You're like, just so you know, bringing this, bringing this in. Yeah. Oh, no, Zach. That's a tough one. So just never again. Yeah. I don't know if it's like a routine I built, and it's like autopilot I need to go, and everything's so close, or what? But we're just making insane life changes starting today. When you did go, did you get the nuggets? I went. So yeah, they had a deal on the app, so two fries, 20 nuggets. So that was an instant cop. And then the snack wrap's back, so I ripped some snack wraps. Oh, hell yes. Snack wrap's so back.

1:54:38Okay. So was it burgers? They were singles.

1:54:41PFT Commenter:Wait, what? Wait, hold on. Say the whole order now. Hold on. Say the whole order now. I knew what the order was. Say the whole order. That was in private, Max. You just brought it. That's on me. People want to know. The people want to know the order. The people want to know the order. Okay, it was just two fries and 20 nuggets because of the deal. I had a couple snack wraps, and then I went cheeseburgers, but single cheeseburgers. And those were like a roadie situation on the way to the office. Sackraps, 20 nuggets, two fries, and extra tenders? Yes. He didn't eat the tenders. He didn't eat the tenders.

1:55:17I did eat them, but they were on the way. That doesn't count. That was like an office situation. Those don't count. How many sackraps?

1:55:23Big Cat:Only two.

1:55:24PFT Commenter:Okay.

1:55:25Big Cat:And just two cheeseburgers. Yes, but single patty. I'd like to preface. Were these the Nashville tenders we got last week? Was that Dallas? Yeah, yeah.

1:55:33PFT Commenter:No, the big ones. Yeah. No, no. No, it was McChickens. They were McDonald's. Yeah, yeah. Christian McChickens. Yeah. No, so you just went You just did your regular order You're just like instead of a double cheeseburger I'm going to add a snack wrap Go single and go snack wrap And also have the big chicken Burgers Yes, two of them, but they're singles though So like half of the usual What I would consider dinner No dessert? No, there was so much shame walking out of McDonald's I couldn't even think of eating ever again

1:56:04Big Cat:Have you guys ever walked into a fast food place with a fast food item from a different fast food restaurant no no i did that a couple times but it was because like i liked whataburger burgers when i was in texas but i would their fries sucked so i would get fries from mcdonald's and then bring the fries from mcdonald's into whataburger i would do

1:56:27PFT Commenter:i do that with um uber eats like there's one place i like i like crab ring goons from this one place and I like the Thai food from another place, and I'll double order. I'll get both because I'm like, I basically make my perfect meal through multiple Uber Eats. The only problem with that, similar to what Zach's talking about, is when they both show up at the same time. That's always a little awkward where you're like, oh, we're just doing an Uber Eats gangbang here. Yeah. You got to kind of explain yourself. So, yeah. But Zach. That rocks. That's awesome. That's a dude's rock. It happens. Zach also only eats one meal a day, so it's fine.

1:57:06PFT Commenter:I've offered him food in the middle of the day, and he turns it down. Yeah, no. He's allowed to eat whatever he wants for dinner because he only eats one meal a day. Don't want to get sluggish. That's how the eating thing works. That's a real diet.

1:57:19Big Cat:It's called OMAD.

1:57:20PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah. Memes, would you like to say anything about Justin Fields, which we talked about at the beginning of the show, but how are you feeling? This is actually, we're taping this part early in the day, so this is instant reaction. We don't really know as we're sitting here, so we're getting instant memes reaction. Are you okay?

1:57:37Big Cat:I'm not okay. I'm down bad right now. There's no update. The update was that he was standing behind a tree and then got carted off, so nobody knows what's happening if it's serious.

1:57:50PFT Commenter:Will you let me give you a spin zone, or are you not ready for it now? Let's hear it. That doesn't sound like you're ready for it. His phone is just playing a loop of the meme of the guy drinking bleach and killing himself. It's just a constant loop that's playing in front of him. I mean, all right, I don't think he's mentally. Do you think he's mentally ready for it? No. No. Because he already got mad at me if I tried it out and he yelled at me. It's a bad take. It's not a bad take. Here, you know what? I'll tell it to you, PFT, not to memes. Take your headphones off memes. I heard it. It's not that big of a deal because Justin Fields isn't good, and this might actually be a good thing in the long run.

1:58:35PFT Commenter:That's not a bad spin zone.

1:58:37Big Cat:But the only thing, the best part about Justin Fields is when he's on your team, you can get excited because you're like, what if he's good this year? Right, of course. So you're missing out on the entire month of August. Ask yourself, what if he's just awesome?

1:58:52PFT Commenter:What if they get a quarterback that's better than Justin Fields for this season or they get a great draft pick and there's a lot of quarterbacks coming up. Like, again, this is not to memes. I'm actually – this is actually how I feel, so I'm, like, doing it in peace. What, memes? It's a good take. It's a bad take. It's a good take. Justin Fields was never going to win you – like, was never going to get you to the playoffs. Justin Fields was never going to win you a lot of games. Justin Fields was going to be exciting a little bit and then not do much and you would be stuck in the kind of mediocrity.

1:59:28Like, if Patrick Mahomes, like, gets carted off in preseason,

1:59:33PFT Commenter:like, Chiefs fans being like, I want to drink bleach, that makes sense. That's your season. You had a real chance. There was no – Justin Fields isn't that good.

1:59:42Big Cat:Yeah. I mean – I'm doing this as a – I'm trying to be nice about it. Here's what I'm going to say. You're trying to be nice. Those Bears teams were terrible.

1:59:48PFT Commenter:He didn't have an offensive line. He didn't have receivers. The Bears averaged 27 points allowed on defense. What about the Steelers? They were terrible. He never had a chance. He started off 4-2 as a starter. And was that because of him or the defense? You manage the game. You win the game. You're a quarterback. All right. What's the ceiling for him on the Jets? Our offensive line is good. Our running back is good. We have Garrett Wilson. Okay. I don't want him to get hurt. I'm not rooting for him to get hurt. I want him to be healthy. I want him to be healthy. I just want that clear. I'm just saying if he is hurt, it's not.

2:00:17PFT Commenter:This would have been Justin Fields' best chance to be good. That's what I'm saying.

2:00:22Big Cat:Let me just give you some coaching real quick, Big Cat. it's too soon for memes. Yeah, no, that's what I said.

2:00:27PFT Commenter:That's why I was saying it to you. That's what I was saying. It's you not to memes. And I actually am like I'm not trying to be like a dick here. I'm actually trying to like be like, hey, this could end up working out long term. But yeah, we could talk about it later.

2:00:40Big Cat:Yeah, I mean, it's like right when your buddy breaks up with somebody. Yeah. The first thing you don't say is like this is going to be so good for you in the long term.

2:00:47PFT Commenter:No, and that's not what I'm saying. It's not like an awesome thing. I'm not like, oh, you should be rooting for this. I'm just, it's more like a trying to spin zone. But yeah, I'm being sensitive to the situation.

2:00:56Big Cat:Here's what I would love to see for your Jets memes. Joe Milton to the New York Jets. Can I say a name that is

2:01:04PFT Commenter:a better quarterback than Justin Fields?

2:01:07Big Cat:Joe Milton.

2:01:08PFT Commenter:Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins was so bad at the end of last year. Kirk Cousins is a better quarterback than Justin Fields memes. In his prime. Kirk Cousins is a better quarterback than Justin Fields. Did you see that Denver game last year i saw it but i'm just telling you like that is a your season might end up turning that's where i'm trying to come from like that's a guy who you could maybe go a little bit further in the season have more fun like think about that now you see that's not bad no kirk sucks too what about it's too early it's too early make a play for aaron rogers all right see that was mean That was mean what he did.

2:01:49PFT Commenter:I wasn't being mean memes. You agree. That was mean. That was mean. That was way more mean than me trying to help pick you up and being like, hey, this could work out in the long run. You're right. That was mean. Yeah. All right. Thank you, PFT. You kind of saved me.

2:02:03Big Cat:What's the thinking behind Aaron Rodgers? Just to make you mad. Just to be mean.

2:02:12Big Cat:That was a great good cop, bad cop that shifted 180 degrees. You saved me.

2:02:18PFT Commenter:No, like when you get off the Zoom, like, because I could see Memes' face. I could see how he gets like he, I was on the kill. I was top on the kill list for a second there. But as soon as you get off the Zoom and like you leave the Zoom, I'm going to go up to Memes and be like, dude, what a fucking dick that was by PFT. And he's like, yeah, and I'll be fine.

2:02:38Big Cat:And for the record, like I'm only saying that to Memes because I'm behind the safety of a screen right now. Yeah, and you help me big time. Because I'm not in the room. I owe you a solid.

2:02:44PFT Commenter:I owe you a save my life versus memes. Get out of saving my – save my life against memes card.

2:02:52Big Cat:Get off of hit list card.

2:02:53PFT Commenter:Yes, I owe you one.

2:02:55Big Cat:Yeah. I do want to see Joe Milton play, though. Me and Max were talking before we started recording. Me and Max love Joe Milton, and we want to see him play football, and it sucks that he's on the Cowboys because we can't really root for him. So any quarterback that gets hurt, I think I'm just going to be like, Joe Milton, get Joe Milton. You can throw the ball, Ma. Broadway Joe.

2:03:12PFT Commenter:He is not good. He is good.

2:03:14Big Cat:He's not good at quarterbacking. What are we doing right now? I've already been looking at his training camp highlights.

2:03:20PFT Commenter:He's not good at quarterbacking. What are we doing? He threw in orange 106 yards, dude. That part is hard to go. I don't really have a response to that. You know that. It's awesome. No, I don't have a response when you say that. Joe Milton would be so fun as a starting quarterback in the NFL. My Joe Milton debates always go, he's not good, and then it's just a ticking time. We should actually put up a timer. Like someone just says, oh, he threw an orange 100 yards. I'm like, well, fuck. Now I'm done. 106.

2:03:48Big Cat:It was 106 yards.

2:03:49PFT Commenter:All right. Let's. Well, grit week. Grit week. Get excited. Grit week. Monday. Awesome. Grit week planned. Get excited. Guest. Big guest.

2:04:00Big Cat:Big, big guest.

2:04:02PFT Commenter:Memes. Numbers. You go first. No one say it. Seven. Whoa. I was going to fucking take that. Seven. Why? Justin Beale's number. I'll take. Oh, he changed from one. I'll take three. You said three? I already said three. I'll take... I'll take one, though Justin Fields I know. Let's see what he was in the Steelers. I think he was one. PFT?

2:04:27Big Cat:I'll take 92. 13.

2:04:31PFT Commenter:I'm rooting for you, memes. Two. I hope he's not hurt. I'm rooting. No, I'm rooting for you in this. Are you doing two for the Steelers? I'm taking two. Two? Oh, he was two. Wait, was he two? Yeah. He was two.

2:04:48PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah, he was two. Did he back?

2:05:02PFT Commenter:31, 31, 31. Love you guys.

2:05:21Thank you.

2:05:53Thank you.

2:06:25Thank you.
