In short
The hosts return from vacation and cover sports and internet topics, including: a debate on whether Joey Chestnut is a top-5 athlete of all time; a “Mount Rushmore” of embarrassing moments (setup for later); MLB/Nationals front-office firings and All-Star snubs; a gambling-related baseball story; and an NFL 2025 quarterback tier/rankings segment meant to “piss people off.” They also discuss LeBron possibly returning to Cleveland and Bronny’s development, plus a “Zach is everywhere” viral story about a man named Zach who eats fast food menus in minimal bites.

4:12PFT Commenter:We all got some time in the sun. Quick power ranking. Who's the most tan? Memes and Zach are by far the least.
4:20Big Cat:It might be Big Cat. It might be Hank, but I can't tell if that's Hank's normal. Hank's always tan. He's always tan. I got a mean sunburn. I got a mean sunburn. But a mean sunburn turns into a great tan if you got the right skin. Exactly.
4:31PFT Commenter:No, two days, I'm good. Have you guys been raw dog? I've been raw dogging in a few days. I did on the floor. I've raw dogged every day. I did on the floor. You did every day?
4:38Big Cat:I put zero ounces of sunscreen on this weekend. The problem is think you're tougher than the sun? Yes. The fucking sun? Yes, I very much think that I'm tougher than the sun.
4:46PFT Commenter:My kids have SPF like 70 lying around. And I'm like, you just put on like a muumuu in the sun. So I just raw dog.
4:53Big Cat:On the 4th of July, they're even more Italian. Yeah, they are. I'm not Italian. They are. I had a personal challenge with the sun on the 4th. And I just stared it. I stared it down. Yeah. I said, it's you and me, mano y mano. We've been going at it now for 40 years. Let's put it all on the line today. Didn't even get burned.
5:08PFT Commenter:The best part about being just going mano-a-mano on the sun is you just get a nice lather sweat, and you can trick yourself into being like, I worked out today. Where you just didn't. I was just sitting at the pool.
5:20Big Cat:No, if you sweat, that's a workout. That's a workout. If you go in the sauna, that's a workout. If you get nervous, that's a workout.
5:25PFT Commenter:Yeah, but we're back. We're back. So we're going no guests today because we haven't seen each other in 10 days, and we're about to head to Tahoe. We're going to do some great interviews, and we also got some stuff we got to catch up on. Where do you guys want to start? I have so many things I want to get off my chest. I have a serious topic. If you want to do a serious topic. Let's wait. Let's wait on the serious topic. Like seriously serious? It's as serious as serious could get. You want to do the serious topic? I would like to do the serious topic. Now I'm going to be thinking about the serious topic if we don't start out with it now.
5:54PFT Commenter:I would like to do the serious topic, and it's very serious. I thought about it for a long time, since Friday. I really do think that Joey Chestnut might be the greatest athlete of all time. Yeah. I actually like broke it down. So 17 titles, his comeback to Coney Island, he goes 70 and a half dogs. And I was thinking about it and I was like, so I'll give you, let's just be, let's be liberal with it. Let's say, okay, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali. We'll give you some of those. Secretariat. Secretariat. Sachin Tendulkar. But where does it, like, where does it, where do we, I think he's a better athlete than Pele.
6:39PFT Commenter:I think, oh, yeah. I mean, soccer's a team sport.
6:42Big Cat:Yeah. If you have a couple guys missing from your team in a soccer game, you might not as well even play.
6:46PFT Commenter:I think he's a better athlete than Wayne Gretzky. No offense to the great one.
6:49Big Cat:Yeah, I mean, like, I don't even really consider hockey to be athletics. Yeah. It's more of just like, you know, it's ice dancing. Skating around with the boys. Yeah. Where is Tom Brady or Joey Chestnut? Tom Brady, but team sports, it is a lot harder.
7:03PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, I would say. Like Tiger Woods, I would give over Joey Chestnut. Okay? I'm fine with that. No offense to our good friend Scotty Scheffler. Joey Chestnut's a better athlete.
7:12Big Cat:I think that Joey Chestnut. Scotty can get there. Scotty could get there. It's Joey Chestnut. It's Usain Bolt. And it's Tiger Woods.
7:19PFT Commenter:Yeah.
7:20Big Cat:That's it for me.
7:22PFT Commenter:Would you say Michael Phelps?
7:24Big Cat:Maybe, but he smoked marijuana.
7:26PFT Commenter:Yeah. Bad example. So whatever, however you slice it, he's like top five athlete of all time.
7:31Big Cat:Yeah. No, what he did on the 4th of July, it was what's so impressive about it is that there's nobody pushing him. No one's pushing him for second place. So the second closest got what, like 40 something. It was a joke. It was not a contest, but he pushes himself because he's that determined of an athlete. He's intrinsically motivated. Yep. He wants to be great. He's sustained greatness.
7:51PFT Commenter:And so all these are true. And it's almost 20 years now. 17 titles. Yep. I was looking at it because when you have these incredible once-in-a-lifetime athletes, they're like, thank God I'm alive to watch this. Obviously, people poke holes at it, and they're like, well, he wasn't pushed because he's had to push himself. People forget Kobayashi was the greatest of all time in his prime. He was in 2006. That was the last time that Joey Chestnut lost to Kobayashi. Kobayashi was 28 years old. it was a 12 minute hot dog race and kobayashi broke the record with 53 and a half hot dogs yeah
8:32Big Cat:53 and a half which was amazing at the time amazing here's the bottom line is kobayashi was eating against plumbers and electricians yep joey chestnut is competing against guys kobayashi that would have that were kobayashi and other guys that would have pushed kobayashi
8:45PFT Commenter:right so the next year after he lost that in 2006 he won he beat joey he beat kobayashi with 66 dogs so he smashed the world record by 13 and a half dogs he went and was like i is mine never looked back uh 2008 first ever 10 minute contest that was the last time kobayashi pushed him because they had the famous overtime hot dog eat off yeah where he finished five dogs in 50 seconds after eating 59 hot dogs uh and then here's the crazy part because we obviously know 2015 uh joey chestnut gets broken up with a week before and matt stoney beats him 62 to 60 okay i actually You think that's better for his legacy because it shows that he's human.
9:25Big Cat:Well, that's also one blip. Let's look at what Matt Stoney was doing for that one year that he showed. That's like Brady Anderson hitting 50 home runs.
9:32PFT Commenter:Yeah, it's a good point. But then here's where Joey Chestnut is the greatest of all time, in my opinion, because he loses that 2015 year and then he comes back and he is the first man ever to eat 70 hot dogs. And then what does he do after that? He then beats his own record with 72. Then what does he do after that? He beats his own record with 74. Then he has a down year with 71, and everyone's like, oh, shit, he's washed. He's like, ha-ha, I'm going to eat 75, and then I'm going to eat 76. So he keeps pushing himself to that level, and then he obviously wasn't there last year, and everyone's like, well, is he washed?
10:05PFT Commenter:He's getting up there in age? No, 70 and a half dogs. He's the only guy who can eat 70 dogs. He's done it like six times.
10:11Big Cat:Yeah, no one's going to touch him. It's the greatest. He's going to retire when he calls it a day. He's not going to get forced out by anybody. There's not going to be anybody that takes the crown from him. in fact like it's going to be a dark day when joey chestnut retires from eating oh it'll be tragic because the the next fourth of july is going to be a guy that wins eating like 43 hot dogs yeah he might actually kill the sport of hot dog eating yeah yeah no never unless there's unless
10:35PFT Commenter:there's a kid out there who's watching this and someday we'll eat 80 hot dogs i'm it's we're gonna we're gonna look back and say hey we were there for the greatest era of hot dog eating and it was joey chestnut and again it's it's it's coming up on 20 years now dominant we don't even have
10:50Big Cat:somebody that he could pass the torch to right there's no next up no bonnie blue no i don't know
10:55PFT Commenter:no the guy uh badlands he i think he broke the record for most the lemonade chug badlands booker

11:52PFT Commenter:It exists.
11:53Big Cat:Maybe, maybe like a blue whale,
11:55PFT Commenter:just because they could just, just throw it into its mouth. Yeah. You just know meat though. Yeah. What? They don't eat meat. Oh, they got the, they got the plankton. They got the bristles too. What's going on in the whale world?
12:06Big Cat:Just a lot, a lot more cleaning, cleaning excursions. I've seen, It's good to see. Oh, okay. Good. People doing the Lord's work.
12:12PFT Commenter:AI videos. Yeah. And then we also had the Joey Chestnut. Max tweeted about this, the embrace debate. What was it, Max? I love this because this is peak July sports fodder.
12:25Big Cat:Yeah, this was awesome. It was if you have Usain Bolt and Joey Chestnut both at the start of a hundred meter race, but neither of them are allowed to start the race until they finish a hot dog. Who wins? I think Joey crushes. It's not even close Joey crushes. Because you've got to think that. What about 400? 400, I think it's Usain. What about 200? I think 200 is where it gets close. I think 200 Usain Bolt would also win. But I think that it switches at a mile. I think Joey Chestnut beats him. No. I don't think so. Where is the switch coming? I need you to explain the switch. Stay with me here.
13:05Big Cat:Usain Bolt has literally never run a mile in his entire life. Ever? That's a fact. He said that on part of my take. Did he? Yeah. I don't remember.
13:13PFT Commenter:His Wi-Fi wasn't great.
13:14Big Cat:He has never run a mile in his entire life. Joey Chestnut, at least, he looks like he works out.
13:19PFT Commenter:Listen, I actually think Joey Chestnut, like, if you told me Joey Chestnut could run an 11-second 100-yard dash, like, probably. He could do anything he wants.
13:27Big Cat:Yeah, right. I wouldn't be shocked. No, but I think 200 meters, I think Usain Bolt gets him. Yeah. I don't know. Because Usain Bolt could probably, he could take down a hot dog in, what, 10? No, because remember? So I was with PFT when we were doing this, when we were talking about this hypothetical. Yeah. And I tried to eat a hot dog as fast as I could. Yeah. Well, you're... And... No offense, Max, but you... No, no. I was about to say that you're not in as good shape as you say in both, but you probably are. What does that have to do with eating a hot dog? I think we should do this this week.
13:55Big Cat:How long did it take you to eat a hot dog? I got... It was like 10 seconds in, and I was like... I had bitten halfway through it, and I was still chewing. Like, I think it probably takes a normal person like 30 seconds to eat a hot dog. Can I be honest with you, Max? What? Until you just told me right now that you were trying to eat that hot dog as fast as you could, I thought that's how you just normally ate hot dogs.
14:17PFT Commenter:Wait, no water, too, right? No water. Yeah. I think we should do this in Tahoe. Okay. Let's just find a track, or we can just do it in a field. Let's just all, like, six of us just race one hot dog 100 meters. Yeah. Just to see how long it would take.
14:33Big Cat:Just to see how long it would take. But they're not averaging either of the two. two things.
14:38PFT Commenter:I would just like to see the video. I'd like to see the baseline.
14:41Big Cat:It would be a funny video.
14:42PFT Commenter:Yeah, and actually we shouldn't do it head to head. We should do time trials because everyone watching you eat a hot dog and then sprinting is so awkward. That actually should be on the Mount Rushmore of embarrassing moments. Your boys watching you take down a hot dog and sprint. I think Joey crushes him. I don't think it's crushes him. No waters. No waters makes it tough. Hank will probably puke before he even has his ass. That's the Ronald Andre. Hank's, I can already see it. It's going to be like, let's say Wednesday morning in Tahoe. Hank's going to be mad. We're going to do it at like, I don't know, say 10 a.m.
15:18PFT Commenter:Hank's going to be mad that we haven't let him eat yet. And then he's going to be so hungry and mad at us. And then he's going to eat half a hot dog and be like, I'm full. That is your breakfast. Yeah. And then he's going to be mad at us that we made him too full. That's going to be a fun day. Chill week. Hey, we made the rule last year. Chill week. We all just chill. We don't fight. We're in a great mood last year. Yeah. We're going to do that again. Excited to go out there. So, yeah, that was a when I saw you tweet about that, Max, like this is just such a perfect like mid-July where there's just nothing.
15:49PFT Commenter:Like you can basically watch your baseball team and then have hot dog hypotheticals.
15:55Big Cat:We were at a barbecue. We had the entire party. The entire party was talking about it. I love it. Like I would bring it up to one group of people. There were people who were saying Usain Bolt.
16:04PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
16:05Big Cat:Yeah, there's a lot of people. A lot of people online were saying it, too.
16:07PFT Commenter:Yeah, all due respect.
16:08Big Cat:Those people are dumb. They don't know dog. Yeah, they don't know dog.
16:11PFT Commenter:They don't respect, to go full circle here, they don't respect the greatness of Joey Chestnut. Correct. They respect Usain's greatness. They don't respect Joey Chestnut's. That's the problem. And I'm here to say he is top five. I'll give you four guys if you want to name him. He's top five athlete of all time. I think it's fair. I'd agree. Stella Blue Coffee ready to drink can lattes are officially available nationwide at Target. That's right. Whether you're making a Target run for toothpaste, paper towels, or somehow spending$200 on things you didn't know you needed, stop by the coffee section and see why everyone is turning to Stella Blue.

Grab a Stella blue at target, taste the difference and make a difference. Stella blue coffee. Okay. That was my serious topic.
17:25PFT Commenter:Okay. That was a good topic. Yeah. I have a non-serious topic. Okay. what's up with LeBron? Is LeBron going to Cleveland?
17:35Big Cat:Is LeBron going to Cleveland?
17:37PFT Commenter:Well, I'll throw a couple things out there. He was golfing in Akron, wearing a hat that said, welcome home. He reposted, I believe it was the former Cavs athletic trainer, maybe, who's got to wear the best jersey for Independence Day and it was LeBron James Cavs jersey. Okay. And he worked out at the Cavs facility. Which that should be illegal.
18:09Big Cat:If you're the Cavs, why are you letting him do that?
18:11PFT Commenter:Because he's going to be a Cav.
18:13Big Cat:Could have just been home for the 4th of July.
18:15PFT Commenter:Oh, listen. I understand that, but he plays for the Lakers and the Cavs let him work out? Huh. Hmm. Huh. Yeah, see, here it is. It's a proper attire. Proper attire. I don't know. is LeBron is he trying to work his way back to Cleveland I think that would be good yeah I would like to see it and also just throwing one more out there Bronny I feel like Bronny is starting to I saw a press conference I was like hey is Bronny kind of getting out from underneath his dad's shadow he was talking about how the only way he's going to make in this league is just being like a dog defensively and that's how he's going to see the court didn't mention the only way I'm to see the court is playing with my dad for the lakers no he didn't say that no he didn't say that
19:02Big Cat:so what about lebron lebron did comment on this okay on the 4th of july what do you say he said and every summer since it was built i live here still and train every summer god damn y 'all bored man no i don't think we're bored god damn i don't think we're bored i think he's doing this on purpose go get a plate of food somewhere and enjoy the 4th of july yeah he's doing this on purpose to get everyone talking about it and then he's going to do it i think he's going to do it i don't think
19:29PFT Commenter:they want him i that might be a different conversation would you want him on the celtics no fuck no but the calves are good and they could they also have a lot of good players that the red has a good i know i know but they have the you know uh the jared allen evan mobley like there's a little redundancy there do you think calves fans want them i don't know i think there's
19:53Big Cat:definitely some Cavs fans yes yes I think Cavs fans would be completely okay with LeBron coming
19:59PFT Commenter:back to Cleveland I think especially if they could get a guarantee that it was like this is it or maybe two years max where we don't play the game of are you in or you out like if the Cavs could actually strategically say we have LeBron for a year maybe call it two but that's the plan and we're not going to do like a song and dance and trading draft picks and doing this whole thing to try to extend LeBron's career. What about Bryce? What about him? Bryce Maximus? Arizona? He wants to play with him.
20:31Big Cat:In Cleveland. I've seen some of the hypothetical trades that get thrown out there about LeBron. I don't even know if any of them actually work out. I think people just put faces on a graphic and they say, here's a trade that could work and then hope that we don't plug it into the machine.
20:44PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I don't understand how any trades work. I mean, the Kevin Durant trade where there's seven teams. Seven team Same trade. It was insane. What did you think about LeBron's golf swing? Not bad. Does it feel good knowing that you could absolutely kill LeBron in golf? You could. It does. Like, you would body. It's a humbling sport. How long, though?
21:05Big Cat:How much training would LeBron need to beat you? Not a lot. I think it's like a week. I was going to say like three months of playing. I mean, he hits the ball hard. Yeah.
21:13PFT Commenter:Yeah. If he had. And I mean, he'll probably get Tiger Woods to teach him. He's got a very compact swing.
21:19Big Cat:Yeah. Yeah, I'd take him like two months. He'd probably be fine.
21:22PFT Commenter:Yeah, he... I mean, any athlete like LeBron, they go out and they're fucking around and he's probably by the end of 18 was like, oh, I got a birdie on this hole. I was like, how'd that happen?
21:32Big Cat:How many times when he's playing and he hits a wedge through the guys that he's playing would be like, hey, LaFla? Ooh. Probably every... You got to say it every time, right?
21:42PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah. I'm just saying something's up with LeBron. He's at least having fun with it. And I think there's more... I don't think LeBron, I think he does these things obviously very much on purpose.
21:53Big Cat:I mean, I would respect it if he just goes home with his boys and is like getting fucked up. Like, just should I just start posting this stuff? Yeah. He might be doing exactly that, but I feel like he's more calculated than that.
22:05PFT Commenter:When you're with your boys from home, it's like kind of like 4th of July. You got the vino out. Yeah, you're on the course. Cigars. Okay. All right. So that was, yeah, those are my serious and unserious topics. Okay. those are good topics yeah yeah uh what else what else we got going on that we wanted to touch on before we do our qb rankings which is going to piss people off hey illinois stella blue coffees new canned lattes are here and in a store near you crafted with 100 columbian coffee each can is a good source of protein and comes in two smooth flavors espresso cafe mocha and espresso sweet cream whether you're braving your morning commute or chasing your pup stella blue cans are for those always on the go and for those who care.

23:15Big Cat:I just have a quick seeing red on the Nationals. Oh, go for it. Permission to go there. They fired their GM a week before the draft. We've got the number one pick in the MLB draft. Our general manager, Rizzo, he did a very good job as the general manager working for an owner that would not give him any money to spend. So he was very limited over the course of the years of what he could do. He put together a World Series roster, made a great roster, hit on a bunch of great draft picks, and now you're firing him. The speculation is you're firing him because you're selling the team and you want to get every single front office contract off the books right now.
23:53Big Cat:So they fired Davey Martinez, the manager, also World Series champion. And then the surprise, though, was firing Rizzo, the general manager. I don't know what you expect this guy to do. You couldn't sign Juan Soto. You couldn't sign Trey Turner to a long-term contract. Couldn't sign Bryce Harper to a long-term contract, all because of money. Right. Not because of anything that Rizzo did. And he did a great job getting everything he possibly could get for Soto. Like two hours before they announced that they fired him, MLB announced the All-Star rosters. And two of the guys that we got for Juan Soto are on the All-Star roster for the first time.
24:31Big Cat:Pretty good job. He did a great job. It doesn't make any sense blaming any of the failures of the team on that guy.
24:37PFT Commenter:That's what I don't like. I agree with all of that except for I think firing him before the draft, you can't let him make the pick if you're going to fire him. He's already done all the work, though. Yeah, but you can't let him make the pick. You got to just be like, you got to get out of here. If they were saying to themselves, we're going to fire him at the end of the year, just get him out before the draft.
24:57Big Cat:Yeah, but firing a GM because you didn't give him enough money to spend on good food, that's like divorcing your wife because you got fat.
25:04PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, being like, what's wrong? She gained two pounds, you gained 50. You gained 50 pounds. Yeah, we've gained a lot of weight. Yeah, cumulatively.
25:15Big Cat:Yeah, that is pretty crazy. I don't like it, but I guess I'm hoping that it means that they're going to sell the team soon, and that's why this is all happening. But yeah, just bad. I don't like it.
25:26PFT Commenter:Dovetailing off the All-Star thing, say a Suzuki should have been an All-Star. He got snubbed. He got what, Max? Because it was Schwarber?
25:33Big Cat:No. I mean, there was a lot of snubs this year. All right, give us some snubs. Trey Turner leads the league in hits, and he didn't even get a reserve spot.
25:42PFT Commenter:Seizuki leads the NBL in RBIs, fourth in home runs, 12th in OPS.
25:47Big Cat:Stud. He should have been. Also, Christopher Sanchez should have been in over Mackenzie Gore. That makes no sense. He has more wins. He has a lower ERA. Oh, we're going off wins.
25:57PFT Commenter:Michael Bush should have probably been. He has a lower ERA and a lower whip.
26:01Big Cat:You don't even know what whip is. I do know what whip is. Say it. It's what you put on your pot. There we go.
26:11Big Cat:Wallach's hits per inning pitch. Oh, there we go. I know exactly what whip is. You probably don't even know what BABIP is. We talk about BABIP on the show all the time. That's like the one thing we know. It's the best stat for losers. No, yeah. Christopher Sanchez not being in is ridiculous. Trey Turner not being in is ridiculous. Say Suzuki not being in is ridiculous. Whatever.
26:31PFT Commenter:Just put everyone in.
26:32Big Cat:Put everyone in. Who cares? Make a loaded roster.
26:34PFT Commenter:Yeah.
26:34Big Cat:Everyone gets in that bat. It doesn't matter anymore.
26:36PFT Commenter:You don't even have to give guys the pass.
26:38Big Cat:Nah, I get pissed off when...
26:39PFT Commenter:You don't like that? I have a question.
26:41Big Cat:If it's your guy and you wait the whole game and they don't get in. I have a question. They haven't announced the full home run derby roster yet, have they? They have not. It's trickling out. What's the current...
26:53PFT Commenter:Zach, can you Google what the current list is? We have some guys that I feel good about. We got Acuna.
27:00Big Cat:Yep. Cal Raleigh. Yep. Big Dumper. James Wood. Yep. No, PCA's not it. But my question was going to be, because when I tweeted out about James Wood being in the home run derby, memes said, announce Yelich in the derby. Memes, do you want to see me and Big Cat? But memes, you know your job would be, you wouldn't have a job.
27:26PFT Commenter:Why? Because the show would end. The last scene of this show would be us eating each other's ass. We can't come back from that. It'd be over. You have to do a follow-up podcast. No, no, no. No, no. It would be like numbers. Oh, and one last thing. I got to eat PFT's ass and that's it. It'd be over. It'd be the best sign off of all time. You're rooting for your own demise. I'm rooting for him to participate. But when the show ends, are you going to be like, you're going to be Tim Robinson hot dog meme. Like, we're all trying to find a guy who did this. You guys did this. Well, yeah, but we're trying to not push it so much.
28:00PFT Commenter:You guys did this. To be fair, Big Cat. Not asking for Yelich to be in it. We do want Yelich in it.
28:04Big Cat:Big Cat did it. I, being a good co-host, did some yes and. Yeah. Where you roll along with it before you know what you say, and then you realize everything that you've said, and then you're fucked. The real pervert, the real sicko is memes who literally wants to watch this.
28:19PFT Commenter:Also, we did it for that Christian Yellich, who had never hit 20 home runs. Yeah. Not this Christian Yellich. You think he's going to do it? He's not in it? Yeah. No.
28:29Big Cat:Yes.
28:30PFT Commenter:Think of that live stream.
28:33Big Cat:he's not going to should we call him and ask him no I don't want to give him the pleasure of knowing that he can hold this over
28:41PFT Commenter:you're right memes is addicted to it I'm going to say this right now Hank's best friend Gaz who listens to every part of my take shout out Gaz big time AWL stats and info he does stats and info He also runs all of our – he's head of all of our social at Barstool Sports. I want to say right now, guys, if Christian Yelich competes in the Home Run Derby and wins the Home Run Derby, all of Memes' tweets should not count for his socials. Like, all of the numbers he racks up do not count. Throw him out. His reports. Throw him out. Because those are ours. Give it to us.
29:20Big Cat:Those are passion numbers.
29:22PFT Commenter:Oh, my God. The numbers he racked up. He just – I actually think –
29:29Big Cat:It would make us lose followers. Yeah. And I also think memes. Oh, yeah.
29:32PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah. I'm actually thinking about it right now. Memes, I think, will ascend to a higher being. What is it? Buddhism or what is it? Ketosis? No. Mormon. No, they ascend to a higher level. Scientology. Yeah, Scientology. Memes will ascend to a higher level when it's me eating PFT's ass, and then memes makes both of our faces max, and that's it. Yeah. That's it. That's memes. His finals. That's his final note. He makes your butthole, Max.
30:05PFT Commenter:Oh, man. He's not competing, right? Listen, thank God Cal Raleigh's in there. Because we needed that. Cal Raleigh is amazing. James Wood. I'm going to be the biggest James Wood guy. James Wood's great. Yeah. I wouldn't mind if. You guys just have to get a jersey, like seven other player jersey. Rooting for every other player. Yeah. every guy he's not he's not gonna do it i'm not crazy if he oh oh that was no i think i will be that he hurt his back i think they're gonna slowly roll it out and then they're gonna he's
30:37Big Cat:gonna be the last person announced yeah the 2019 home run derby roster he was the number one seed going into it and then he hurt his back yeah you don't want to hurt your back again christian
30:46PFT Commenter:no you don't oh since we're talking ball we should uh say uh that it's kind of a who's back but guys betting on their own team, Luis Ortiz for the Guardians. Yep. Of all the gambling stories that have come out of who's the – Giante Porter, Malik Beasley is obviously going through right now. This one is very funny in just the simple fact that they have two pitches that like alerted all the systems and then showing the pitches. He just throws it 40 feet. Yeah. And he just told his boys, like, dude, hammer ball to start this inning. It's pretty blatant. Pretty obvious. It's a tough one for him to have to try to get out of.
31:32Big Cat:So he's on paid leave right now. Yeah. So they're investigating. What is the investigation going to entail? I don't know. Just like, hey, you did this, right? Yeah. This is real video, right? Yeah. This is. He should be like it's AI. Well, no, they got to track it back to him. I mean, first, it's like.
31:51PFT Commenter:But these were such egregious balls. Did you see them?
31:55Big Cat:The first pitch of the inning, yeah. They weren't even close. Some people were saying they're set-up pitches. Yeah, that's true. Set up your boys for a great day. So, yeah, I guess just a shitload of people bet on those certain pitches.
32:09PFT Commenter:Yeah, and those are obviously bets that are, I would imagine, don't have a ton of action. so when there's a spike it's pretty easy for them to be like hey what the fuck's going on here yeah watching it side by side it's very funny very fun uh okay what any other baseball stuff baseballs it's just rocking baseball's just going cubs are fucking eight home runs on on july 4th that was that was pretty great that was a pretty cool thing to do but dingers only if you missed it we all have our teams uh and we're we're hit we're smashing dingers what are the live uh standings you have them memes shout out to awls who have live trackers there's a couple guys out there that put out good live trackers oh you go oh here we go hunter whitlow shout out hunter whitlow right now we have uh in first place it is a tie steven shea hank jersey jerry no brandon
33:07Big Cat:Oh, no, Jerry.
33:08PFT Commenter:Yeah, Jerry with 10 home runs. And then me, Brandon, and Max with nine. And then in the rear is Zach with seven and PFT with six.
33:17Big Cat:I got off to a good start. Haven't had my best last couple games. Well, it's only been four days. I don't know if you can say you got off to a good start when you're last. No, a really good start in the first, like, two days of the league.
33:28PFT Commenter:Yeah. You got off to, yeah, the first day.
33:30Big Cat:And has anybody used Jersey Jerry used his IR spot? He did. He dropped. His pedophile spot is still remain standing.
33:37PFT Commenter:Yes, it absolutely remains there. I think he picked up Kyle Stowers from the Marlins, friend of the program. Nice pick. Oh, no, Colton Couser from the Orioles. Sorry. Colton Couser from the Orioles, who is a great dude. And Max still hasn't done the challenge.
33:54Big Cat:Max still hasn't done the challenge. That's the real update. If there's any baseball teams in Tahoe. Nobody cares who's in last place because apparently you don't have to do the punishment. That's a really good point. Yeah, kind of meaningless. I'm in last. That's a really good point. BFT, remind me. How long did it take you to do the perm? Did I do the perm? Oh, okay, okay, yeah. Did I do the perm? Oh, okay, yeah. Did he perm? Did I perm? Yeah, and it took longer, much longer than this. I don't think it did. Yes, it did. I don't think so. Oh, yes, it did. It took well over a year. It also did nothing.
34:24Big Cat:No, it didn't take over a year. Yeah, yeah, that's true. And the tattoo took forever, too. That's not true. Yes. It took mine pretty quickly. It took about a year.
34:33PFT Commenter:No, BFT, yes. Then it ended by second and third. This hasn't even been a year yet.
34:37Big Cat:I did the tattoo and the perm, I think, on the same day. Correct. Or the same week.
34:42PFT Commenter:Did I do it? Yeah, I'm going to do it. Okay. You know what? PFT, tap me in here. Max, it's bullshit that you haven't done this yet. Okay. See, you can't say anything to me. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I thought.
34:54Big Cat:You should do it. I'm going to. You should do it, like, right now. Mallards. Hit me up. Hit my line.
35:00PFT Commenter:Oh, another baseball topic. What? San Diego State. No, USA. USA, sorry. USD What do we think about Alvin Kamara asking for a redo On first pitch that was crazy I don't think you should be allowed to do that You can't Athletes are perfectionists But you can't do a redo Yeah you gotta abide by the tape you put out there Yeah that's a crazy thing to be like Hey let me have another shot at this
35:23Big Cat:Hit the bullpen before dude You get a redo if you fumble Nope Well unless They overturn it Yeah Also shout out Clark the Cubs mascot Yeah Made two great catches on Alvin Kabar turkey balls.
35:36PFT Commenter:He did. But yeah, you can't get a redo. This is bullshit. It does.
35:39Big Cat:No reduce. It does concern me that Clark doesn't wear pants. He's got dong. He's just dong hanging. Lays some dong.
35:46PFT Commenter:Okay. Should we talk about Zach being everywhere? Talk about Max being back-ish. Oh, yeah, we should. Our guy Max Homo almost won the John Deere Classic, which is the fifth major. that sucked it was tough tough couple bogeys I think I liked the guy Brian Campbell big 10 guy I think I liked him so but yeah I was rooting against him hard I was but I'm saying once once he got to the playoff I wasn't going to root for the foreign guy I do think that counts as Max being back though right I think he played awesome
36:25Big Cat:he shot a 63 on Friday or Thursday 63 and then he had a 68 68. So I think at the very least, Max, he found something. He did. He found something.
36:35PFT Commenter:Golf is a mental game. Yeah. I was rooting so hard. It would have been awesome. Yeah. Zach is everywhere. So this happened over the week that we were gone. Can you pull that up real quick? It was wanted. Have you seen this person? Matthew Allen. Shreveport police are searching for Matthew Allen accused of stealing nearly$49 ,000, including 7 ,000 in charges to OnlyFans. and using a business credit card. He faces theft and fraud charges. And this just is Zach without glasses on. And then a bunch of dudes just started replying. And Zach, is he the most common-looking dude out there? Like the generic American?
37:16PFT Commenter:Yeah. I don't get it. You're every man. Yeah, so there's a guy. Who's this guy? Florida man. What does this guy do? That's Shreveport, man. This guy ranks stuff? He ranks fast food?
37:26Big Cat:This guy will eat entire menus of fast food places. Wait, Zach, that's you do that. No, but in as little amounts of bites as possible.
37:36PFT Commenter:Wait, can we watch one of these? Zach, that is your thing.
37:45Big Cat:Alternate timelines. Yeah, we're just fractionally off each one. We do look shockingly alike. My build might just be pretty basic. Low VC on that. We might have to do a Zach card. How do they know that this guy, he spent the money on OnlyFans? I don't know. This feels like it might be an OnlyFans advertisement. It was a business card, you said, right?
38:07PFT Commenter:A business credit card.
38:08Big Cat:Oh, he used his company card. His company card to just blow up OnlyFans.
38:13PFT Commenter:Like, we don't know what his job is, right? That's true. So he just houses these things? That's all he does?
38:22Big Cat:I love the internet. Right now, he's 16 items through Arby's, and he's done it in 20 bites. Holy shit.
38:31PFT Commenter:This is awesome. What's his record? Has he done a whole menu?
38:36Big Cat:Yeah, I think he did Taco Bell. Let me see. Yeah, and his name is Zach, which is crazy.
38:43PFT Commenter:This is when... With a K? I have a lot of moments. I don't know if you guys feel the same way, but with AI, with the state of the internet, with everyone just being dicks all the time, you're like was this really worth it should we have done this is the internet worth it but then guys like this come along i'm like yeah you know what i wouldn't have known this guy existed
39:00Big Cat:we need this i think this is actually what makes america great is that you can get rich you can get famous by simply eating fast food in your car yeah that's a level of celebrity that you can have wait hank you pointed out this guy's name is zach right yes yeah so this i don't understand how this is so right he's going through the entire this is the last day of the taco bell uh menu and he's got the nacho bel grande and a cheese quesadilla but he put the nacho bel grande in the cheese quesadilla i've watched this video before i think he does it in three bites so it's two items three bites yeah he's making turducken out of taco bell menu yeah so what did he end up doing the whole taco bell uh let's see let's get to the the final stats here 52 items at taco bell 106 bites I think it took him 14 days.
39:50PFT Commenter:That's incredible.
39:54Big Cat:Pull up the menu again real quick. Yeah. He also ranks them of what she thinks are the tastiest. Pull up the menu.
40:01PFT Commenter:Zach, you need to do a video with this guy.
40:05Big Cat:But there's no pleasure. He's not eating for pleasure there. That's all sport. I think he enjoys it. Okay, fair. I misspoke there.
40:12PFT Commenter:No, you didn't misspoke, Smeak. You had a different opinion.
40:16Big Cat:Can I see the cheesy fiesta potatoes? That's the one I want to see. I mean, I'm going to... This isn't like a table of contents that I can look at. That's a ranking. That's last place. Yeah, this is his ranking. This is his ranking of... No, no, no. That's not last place. There's two... Oh, two pages. There's two slides here. Oh, that's right in the middle. Yeah, 26. There was 52 items. Yeah. Cheese quesadilla was last place, actually. But he had Belgronde in it. I know. I don't understand how he does that because he has a Belgronde at 37. and put the cheese case and he had 52, and he ate them both together.
40:50Big Cat:Shout out Zach is back, I guess. Great plug for him.
40:53PFT Commenter:National sports podcast. We're hitting it all. Zach, how minor of a disagreement would you be like, I misspoke? Because that was crazy. It just happened there. You literally just had a differing opinion, and then you said, you know what? I'm going to lay down here and say I didn't mean to say that.
41:12Big Cat:Some felt like I was blatantly wrong there. The room said, hey, don't fucking say that. And I was like, all right. You guys just did it in a nice way. And I was like, all right. I apologize to the room. Hey, Zach, don't apologize. I can do that.
41:27PFT Commenter:Yeah. Work on that. You got a lot of things you're working on. Don't we all? Yeah. All right, sweet. Are there more Zachs underneath that? There's a lot of Zachs. There was a Zach that is Zach. That's a Zach. These guys, I don't even know. You're just everywhere, Zach. so only fans and eating in the least amount of bites possible that's the zach way i was not
41:50Big Cat:arrested for fraud so that first guy uh probably not me yeah not arrested yeah probably not me
41:56PFT Commenter:we need to do a zach con i need you i need to get you with this this uh zach is back guy though
42:02Big Cat:he's impressive absolute eater shout out to him especially if you just do the it would be great
42:06PFT Commenter:if you did the mcdonald's menu with him and then when it came to the 20 nuggets two double cheeseburgers two fries but you're just taking as many bites as you want he's just disgusted with it uh all right should we do uh should we do our qb rankings yeah this is where it's gonna get spiced let's piss everyone off let's piss everyone off all right so before we do that uh truly truly is the drink of the summer truly unruly is the high elk hard seltzer that drinks light but parties hard truly unruly is a hard seltzer that breaks all the rules with eight percent abv It hits hard but still tastes amazing.
42:43PFT Commenter:Comes in four fresh flavors. Tropical Twist, Berry Blast, Citrus Crush, Strawberry Smash, the Truly Hard Seltzer taste you love, the high-alk unruliness you're looking for. It's the official hard seltzer. Pardon my take. Get unruly with Truly this summer. There's no better drink this summer. I was smashing them all week. We had a week off. I had the strawberry smash right by the pool. It was incredible. So go right now. Truly Unruly, the hard seltzer that breaks. So all the rules, 8 % ABV. It hits hard, but still tastes amazing. Look at this. Look at how you get the little moisture coming off right now on the Berry Blast.
43:21PFT Commenter:We're going to have some Trulies out in Tahoe. It's the official hard seltzer. Pardon my take. Get unruly this summer with Trulie. Go get it now and have yourself a great summer. All right. How do we want to do this? I got some tears. I have some tears as well. I think we got to just go down. And if anyone in the room has a major issue with a ranking, we can discuss. Okay. Because I think a lot of the guys will have like within two or three of each other. Yep. Does that feel fair, Max?
43:55Big Cat:I like tiers for the graphic. I think tiers are good. I think tiers on the graphic slaps.
44:00PFT Commenter:Okay. But we also have to rank them. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So let's start with the elite tier. I think. Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen should be one. I had Josh Allen number one. Coming off of MVP, I had Josh Allen one. Patrick Mahomes two. Yep. Lamar three. Mahomes might be washed. I had. Oh. Go on. Please. Discuss. He didn't play great at the end of the year. They choked in the Super Bowl.
44:28Big Cat:Should we put that on the graphic? Hank thinks he might be washed. We're doing washed now. No, it's our graphic, right? Yeah. Yeah. But the graphic, the tier can be Hank thinks he might be washed. Yeah.
44:38PFT Commenter:Yeah, that's fine. You know what we could do? We could have – we'll put Patrick Mahomes number two in elite, and then we could put him again wherever you think he should be.
44:49Big Cat:I think it's Josh Allen Lamar. I mean, Josh Allen Lamar Jackson.
44:53PFT Commenter:But you see what I'm saying? If you have Patrick Mahomes like 10, we could have Hank's tier is Hank's ranking of Patrick Mahomes.
45:01Big Cat:Yeah, I mean, I thought we were doing this together, but that's fine. That's fine. Okay.
45:05PFT Commenter:All right. All right. So Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes. So you think it should be Lamar?
45:08Big Cat:Yeah. I actually had a category of if he had Lamar's defense, he would have two rings, and that's Joe Burrow. I just had him in elite. Okay.
45:19PFT Commenter:I think those are the four. Those are the four. I think those are the four elite. What's the next tier called? I think it's called Jayden Daniels. I think that's the tier. Well, this is where it's going to get interesting. I did have Jayden Daniels five.
45:34Big Cat:I watched an hour of his highlights on the 4th of July as the fireworks were going off. and I was blitz drunk hammered. It was the best hour of my week. Okay. I was crying.
45:44PFT Commenter:So you think it's just Jaden Daniels five? I think just, yeah, he's five. Okay. And then what's the tier after that? By the way, memes misspelled Jaden Daniels name.
45:56Big Cat:Yeah, disrespect.
45:58PFT Commenter:Oh, that was Max who then wrote Jalen Hurts. Put that on the list.
46:02Big Cat:Interesting. I'm putting that on. I'm making a list. Can win a Super Bowl with them? I've got technically Super Bowl champions as my next tier. So that would be Matthew Stafford. Matt Stafford, Joe Flacco, and Jalen Hurts. I like that. Russell Wilson. You could put Aaron Rodgers. Oh, you could put Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers.
46:21PFT Commenter:Technically Super Bowl champions. Yeah, Super Bowl champions. Okay, six. So yeah, do it.
46:28Big Cat:Jalen Hurts. What are you doing? What are you typing, memes? No, I'm typing. PFT was just saying names there. Are we actually listing it in that order? Six? As the owner I had.
46:38PFT Commenter:Yes. Six is Matthew Stafford.
46:42Seven is Aaron Rodgers.
46:45Big Cat:Aaron Rodgers. Okay. Yeah. Then yeah.
46:47PFT Commenter:We don't want people to think we're joking. Yeah. Eight is Flacco. Yeah. Then nine is Jalen Hurts.
46:53Big Cat:Russell Wilson.
46:56PFT Commenter:I don't think he can be in there. Yeah.
46:59Big Cat:I think he can be in there. But it's the technically Super Bowl champions tier. But technically he lost his ring.
47:05PFT Commenter:And it also was Seattle's defense, technically. Okay. All right.
47:11Big Cat:So we're at 10. You know what I realized put this list together? There's a lot of good quarterbacks in the NFL.
47:17PFT Commenter:There are. I also will get to them later, but I was like doing it. So to do this exercise, I did it actually how I feel, and then I messed around with it a little bit. But how I felt, we're getting to like the 20s before we got to one Dakota rain press. Yep. And then I went and then I went because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anyone. Yep. And I Googled QB rankings for 2025 pro football focus. Where do you think they had Dak Prescott?
47:48Big Cat:18.
47:49PFT Commenter:17. Exactly where we had him last year. All right.
47:52Big Cat:But you're right. Doing the list. I tried to make it work at 17. Yeah, it doesn't. I couldn't make it work this year.
47:59PFT Commenter:He's not the 17th best anymore. All right. So this is this next tier. What do you want to call it? This is good quarterbacks.
48:07Big Cat:That's a great name for it.
48:08PFT Commenter:Yeah. Good quarterbacks. Jared. Jared. Jared. Jared is. It could be even great quarterbacks. Yeah. Great quarterbacks. Great quarterbacks. Jared. Baker. At 11. Baker. At 12. I had. Wait. Who's at 10? 10 is Jared. Jared Goff.
48:29Big Cat:Okay. Okay. I got it. I got it.
48:33PFT Commenter:11 is Baker. I had CJ Stroud there. Yep. At 12. I had CJ Stroud. I had Brock Purdy. I had Brock Purdy, too. And then I had Herbert and Trevor Lawrence.
48:49Big Cat:I had one more in that list. Bo Nix.
48:53PFT Commenter:Oh, okay. Wow. I'm a Bo Lever. Okay. Bo Nix is in there. That feels like a stretch, but. Okay. Great. We're halfway through.
49:05Big Cat:Yeah. Okay. That's fair. Bo Nix great. You want to say good quarterbacks? He's in a different tier. I think good quarterbacks might start after Herbert. After Herbert.
49:16PFT Commenter:So, yeah, go 15 Trevor Lawrence at good quarterbacks, 16 Bo Nix. I feel good about that. Brock Purdy, I also great quarterbacks to stretch. I mean, he went to a Super Bowl. He was in the MVP discussion. And he would have gone to another if the Eagles didn't injure him. Probably would have won. Probably would have won. Fact or fiction. You can't disagree with us on this one.
49:41Big Cat:No, that's a fact. Doesn't make him a great quarterback.
49:44PFT Commenter:We fucked you in on that one, buddy.
49:48Big Cat:That's a stone cold fact. All right. In the next category, I have a special category of I think this guy is going to be really good. Okay. Do you know who's in that? Drake May. Drake May. Okay. But he wasn't first in that. Who? Caleb. Pander. Caleb. Pander. And then Drake.
50:06PFT Commenter:I have Caleb down. He's got to prove it. He's got to prove it. I think he's going to be good, though.
50:12Big Cat:But Drake's proven more than he has so far.
50:14PFT Commenter:I mean, that's statistically, I don't know if that's true. Yeah, what do you mean by that, Hank? Like, what do you mean?
50:19Big Cat:Maybe per start. I don't know. Per start.
50:22PFT Commenter:Did you think about per start? Like, Caleb still had a statistically very good year. He just, for a rookie quarterback, he just was on a bad team, and Jaden Daniels was significantly better. Are you looking it up and getting in the stats right now? I mean, Hank might be right. Well, Drake may have played less. That's what I'm saying, per game. Oh, per game. Okay. All right, let's pull it up.
50:49PFT Commenter:I was going to wait to skip to some of the second-year guys because I think there's a group of guys that are kind of in that middle weird spot where you're like, I think they're good, but I don't know. And it's the Kyler Murray's. Oh, I had Kyler down this year. It's Jordan Love. Jordan Love. It's Tua, Sam Darnold, Gino, like that whole mess where it's like, I think they're pretty good.
51:17Big Cat:No, it's still Caleb a little bit.
51:18PFT Commenter:Oh, okay. Thanks.
51:20Big Cat:You're welcome.
51:21PFT Commenter:Yeah. All right. So go with the next tier will be game to game. I think it's a game to game. The game to game. Because Geno can have a great game. Yeah. Just have it say we'll change these rankings game to game. And it's Geno, Sam Darnold. Jordan Love. Jordan Love. So 17 will be Jordan Love. 18 Geno. Yeah. I'm fine with that. Although Sam Darnold took his job.
51:53Big Cat:All right, we're all over the place back here. But what are you guys doing? Well, Meme said to step out, so it threw everything off.
51:59PFT Commenter:Why did he have to step out? I had to run and get water.
52:02Big Cat:Yeah, he's... Oh. Sam Darnold took his job, but then also the Raiders didn't want Sam Darnold. They wanted Geno. True. So Geno took Sam Darnold's job, too. Are we still... So we're doing Caleb, then Drake? No, no, no.
52:13PFT Commenter:No, no.
52:13Big Cat:We're just... We're crossing that out. That will come after. Got it. Got it.
52:19PFT Commenter:I feel good about this. All right, so... So 17 is going to be Jordan Love. 18, what do we decide? Geno Smith or Sam Darnold?
52:32Big Cat:The last two games from Sam were really bad.
52:35PFT Commenter:They were really bad. Can we tie? I'm playing with you and Geno. Okay. Geno, 19, Sam Darnold, 20. Who would you rather have on your team right now?
52:49Big Cat:Geno or Sam? Yeah. Sam. Same.
52:52PFT Commenter:Maybe Gino. I don't know.
52:53Big Cat:When are we getting into our friend Dakota here?
52:56PFT Commenter:I'm telling you, it's hard. He's not there. All right, wait. So 20?
53:02Big Cat:Max, he's not there. I think 20. I would rather have. I'm a Dak hater. I would rather have Dak than Dar. We got to go 20 to a.
53:11Big Cat:Tua's game to game. Very much. Game to game as you get. He's the definition of game to game. He actually should be number one in this category. Okay. Then 21. Yeah, 21 Bryce Young. I don't hate Bryce Young. He played really good last year at times.
53:28PFT Commenter:And then 22 Kyler. Yep. And then what tier? And then Dak? Then Dak. Then Dak. Dak gets his own tier.
53:37Big Cat:Okay. Just the Dak tier at 23?
53:41PFT Commenter:No, it's the accurate ranking tier. Yeah. 23 Dak Prescott. That's a good take.
53:52PFT Commenter:Now we get to some tough ones. Now I think is where you put the second year guys being like, this is the, it's basically the could be good. Put up or shut up. Put up or shut up here. Max. I apologize, Max. All right, put up or shut up. We'll maybe change that on the graphic because that doesn't, it's still their second year. I think it's Caleb, Drake, Michael Penix, J.J. McCarthy.
54:23Big Cat:That sounds good. I do think it is very much put up or shut up for Caleb.
54:27PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah, definitely. But it's not for J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix. I think it should be like, this is a big year for them. We'll fine tune it. All right.
54:35Big Cat:Anthony Richardson? I just had him as 32. Yeah, he's technically like you would fit in that group. But, yeah.
54:43PFT Commenter:Bad, bad question mark. I like that. Just Anthony Richardson. No, I think that's the perfect last ranking. There's five guys left. I guess Cam Ward you could put into the group of guys.
54:54Big Cat:I didn't put any. Yeah, no rookies. Because you could also put the entire Saints quarterback situation on there.
54:59PFT Commenter:All right, so bad should just be Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Anthony Richardson. What the fuck?
55:06Big Cat:I think those are pretty good rankings. Okay, I've got one change to make. Okay. I think in the put up or shut up We might want to do Daniel Jones Oh yeah I like that Yeah Daniel Jones for sure Maybe after Penix Daniel Jones absolutely Because Daniel Jones He's basically a second year quarterback I might even put him over that He spent six months He spent six months with Kevin O 'Connell What's better Spending six months with Kevin O 'Connell or spending six months with Brian Schottenheimer.
55:44PFT Commenter:Yeah, you know what? Make the accurate ranking tier just be 23 Daniel Jones, 24 Dak.
55:52Big Cat:I've been thinking about Daniel Jones a lot the last couple weeks.
55:55PFT Commenter:I love ranking quarterbacks. I think Daniel Jones might come back. I agree. I love ranking quarterbacks, though, especially this time of year. Just put them up there. Getting into debates with yourself. These are pretty good.
56:10PFT Commenter:These are pretty good. All right. So it's one.
56:14Big Cat:Can I be honest with you guys? Yeah. I wouldn't be upset if you dropped Jaden down.
56:17PFT Commenter:I have him personally as number five. I had him as five on my rankings.
56:21Big Cat:I did. Hank, you had a good year.
56:26PFT Commenter:Anyone want to?
56:27Big Cat:I want all the Jaden Daniels hype going into this year. I want everyone talking about how good he is. You'll get it. Yep. You'll get it, big boy.
56:34PFT Commenter:Yeah. You actually get it twice because you have to listen to it. Then you have to edit it. Yeah. No.
56:38Big Cat:No. Well, you know.
56:40PFT Commenter:What?
56:42Big Cat:We'll see. What? Sophomore slumps happen. Are you saying you're not going to edit the show anymore? No. What? I'm saying I want to. I want the national media. It might not last. Oh. I want the national media to hype them the fuck up. Oh.
56:54PFT Commenter:You're saying you might not have to listen to it twice much past like September.
56:59Big Cat:Well, I'm. There's a lot of hype. A lot of hype. Interesting. A lot of hype. Against the worst schedule in the year last year. Guess what? Just saying. You're talking to a big Jayden Daniels fan, so you're going to hear a lot of hype from him. I know. I know. You're not the only one hyping it up. I want it. All right. Well, again, I'm making a list. Yeah. We all are. This is the list. Jayden Daniels, top five quarterback, without question. Without question. Also, please save that as a graphic and as a soundbite that I can listen to. Yep. Jalen Hurts, barely top 10. No Super Bowl champion. Yeah, barely top 10.
57:36Big Cat:that's what that's that's should we change joe flacco no no no we have to because joe flacco makes it seem i want some people to look at the list yeah realize that take joe flacco and bump
57:48PFT Commenter:him down to good quarterbacks that's perfect at the bottom of good quarter good quarterback or game to game he should be in game to game game to game he knows that that's no disrespect we love joe that's no disrespect to joe game to game it's even further down max max how long did it take you
58:06Big Cat:like in college to write paper this is like this is difficult what you're having me do right now well you you're also just you're you're just telling someone to go into a tier without telling me where to put them in the tier game cheer but you're not giving me a number at the bottom of it but you're not giving me a number so what do i do 22 22 there you go three oh shit that just
58:27PFT Commenter:bump that just bump dac to oh no he already was 20.
58:32Big Cat:i like that you spelled jordan from jordan love jordan that's that's how i think every every jordan is spelled these days change the game
58:42PFT Commenter:this is a great list i think the put up or shut up should just be too early to tell that way people because then then people will look at it and be like okay that makes sense I think this is a great list. Oh, man. We only have 30. We don't have the Saints quarterback. Oh, just put 32 Saints quarterback, whoever they start. 32, whoever they start. No, no. It's own tier, Saints quarterback, 32, whoever they start. That feels good. That feels really good. All right. Should we do Who's Back Week and get to Mount Rushmore? It's just good to talk about football. It feels great. I was daydreaming about football the other day.
59:20PFT Commenter:Again. Just thinking about week one. So excited. Just watching highlights. Seeing the grass. Do you know what's so sick? I have. I'm basically. My daydreaming is when sitting there week one and PFT, you're going to say like, there's just so much going on. Our eyes aren't used to it. And then I'm going to be like, we're back.
59:43Big Cat:Lock in.
59:44PFT Commenter:And then unfortunately in my daydream. So I have this daydream of us coming in, still warm out, sitting down. watching like a quarter on all the seven TVs, you saying that line, me thinking we're back, and then Nikki Smoke saying something so fucking stupid and me getting upset.
1:00:00Big Cat:And then being like, now we're really back. Jerry walking out at halftime.

I had someone come up to me and ask me about it. And I was like, what are you talking about? That was two years ago.
1:01:48PFT Commenter:I have a question for you. Yes. Has anyone gone and done a follow-up report in Tiffany's house? Jerry. Right. But you're saying it's like a bit that he was doing investigative journalism that we have not had yet. No one followed up. We didn't know where that piece of the wall went. No, we didn't.

I'd say no. Or do you think they break up before? They have to break up. I would be disappointed if they didn't break up during the tour. Yeah. I think it'd be bullshit. Right?
1:03:46PFT Commenter:Because that means they're not playing hard enough.
1:03:47Big Cat:Yeah. That means that they've changed. Yeah. And I want the same oasis. I want, like, if you're buying tickets for this, part of the rush is spending all that money on the ticket, not knowing if that concert's ever going to happen. Correct. Correct.
1:03:59PFT Commenter:It looked like the best time ever. Ever. What a band. Shout out Wales. Yeah. shout out whales shout out whales all right you're who's back yeah before i do my who's back
1:04:10Big Cat:can i just look at the dakota prescott line on the quarterback rankings draft again i just want to see where it is again it is 24 yep nailed it accurate that feels good um my who's back of the week is bradley beal yeah bradley beal might be back yeah so it looks like he's going to get a buyout the sons are going to pay him money to go away and uh then he's going to be a free agent reportedly from from mark stein i don't think i'm done believing in bradley beale yet no he
1:04:41PFT Commenter:actually is still a good basketball player just not good enough to get paid 45 million dollars a year yeah like if he goes to a team and gets i don't understand how any of the contracts worked i'd assume it'd be like one of those league minimums mid mid mid-level exceptions so one of those like in theory though could he get a full contract from another team that's not a vet minimum i think the problem is all the teams probably have a lot of their spots already spoken for right so let's just say he gets i don't know eight million dollars a year brad bradley beal for eight million dollars a year is a pretty good deal yeah i would agree so i'm kind of excited to see where he goes yeah especially if he goes to a good team hank you want him although he didn't he didn't really love coming off the bench so that might be a problem yeah would you want him hank for cheap yeah how how are you how are you doing Hank with all this stuff because it is like you and the Pacers it feels like you're like all right we're in a way better spot than the Pacers way better way better why way better because Tatum got hurt like a month earlier better
1:05:49Big Cat:organization yeah better team but I'm saying all right we'll be back sooner than the Pacers what
1:05:53PFT Commenter:I'm saying though is the pace like I'm saying both the teams feel like not that they're fully punting on next year but they kind of are they're like all right well next year doesn't matter we're just gonna yeah but even when the Celtics are rebuilding their font okay I think they're gonna
1:06:11Big Cat:you know they're gonna find the right players they're gonna find the next pieces for the next run and and next year those guys are gonna get more minutes than they would otherwise and they're gonna be able to you know build for the future how much how much further ahead are you from the pacers like if the pacers got Bradley Beal would you still say you're ahead of them yes I have a question yes it just popped in my head the wizards suck the bulls suck bulls can't make a trade to
1:06:35PFT Commenter:save their life to get real picks uh the knicks are good the celtics are in a weird year where they're trying to figure it out how disrespectful is it that no one even brings up that the sixers could maybe win the east they're just so such an afterthought everyone's heard in the east and no one's talking about the sixers being like hey maybe they it could be them yeah that is so
1:06:57Big Cat:disrespectful max i love it i love it oh under the radar disrespect it's normally the opposite no expectation it's like oh here come the sixers here come the sixers yeah and then this year it's like everyone no one's talking about the sixers and they could be very good have you let yourself believe oh yeah vj edge come had 28 points in his summer league debut okay so yeah that's that's
1:07:19PFT Commenter:good enough so yeah that's that's good enough you've done it i just need him i i would like
1:07:23Big Cat:to see a little bit of a status update on joel and beat yeah i'll say that what is the status
1:07:28PFT Commenter:right now nothing no one's heard from any no one's what do you mean what does that mean i i don't
1:07:34Big Cat:know they don't know what he's doing they don't know where he is i i no one knows no one knows what what his health is at right now i'm searching for joel and beat updates yep keep searching i'm I'm not finding anything. No one knows. Nothing. Max, would you rather... Oh, wait. Philadelphia's Joel Embiid has been ruled out for the... Oh, that was just Shams' tweet from February 28th. Correct. I thought it was about next season.
1:08:03PFT Commenter:It actually would be very funny now that I'm thinking about it. If the East becomes such a wasteland that the Sixers just get to the conference title just by default.
1:08:13Big Cat:There's a chance that they could get there without Joel Embiid. and then that would be the meme. Oh, here we go. Here we go, Max. From a week ago, Joel Embiid is on track to return from knee surgery when training camp opens in September. Oh. Who said that? The Associated Press. Oh. I'm not in Sixers mode, I guess. Daryl Morey talked to Embiid before the NBA draft, said he's very engaged. That means not that. What does that mean? Engaged in the conversation? He's attacking rehab. He's doing everything he can to be out there. He had a meeting with the surgeon this week. Did he get engaged? All things, to use a NASA term, are nominal.
1:08:57Big Cat:Don't know what that means. That's good, I think. What does that word mean? Not quite phenomenal, but. I'm going to be honest, Max.
1:09:03PFT Commenter:Nominal is one of those words I don't really know what it means either.
1:09:06Big Cat:Things are going well and expected, and we expect that to continue. There's a lot of inspection. Very small, far below the real value or cost. Nominal. Yeah, I mean, there's optimism that he will be back for like, okay.
1:09:19PFT Commenter:Yeah, this is nothing. Yeah. Very engaged. There's optimism he'll be back for training camp. He's been doing well. This sounds like someone who's on hospice care. It's like he's doing well.
1:09:33Big Cat:Yeah, I don't know.
1:09:34PFT Commenter:There's no details in that.
1:09:36Big Cat:Embiid said, one lesson that I learned is to try and stop feeling bad about myself and just live day by day. That does sound like hospice care.
1:09:42PFT Commenter:This is crazy.
1:09:43Big Cat:He's terminal. Yeah. This is crazy. We don't know that. You don't know that.
1:09:47PFT Commenter:But this is what I'm saying. The vibes coming from that.
1:09:51Big Cat:He's more likely to start the season than Jason Tatum. Sounds like he's waiting on his granddaddy visit. Yeah. He's counting his blessings. Yeah. Well, yeah.
1:10:00PFT Commenter:I've lived a good long life. What the hell is going on? Is it just, what was his actual knee injury? He didn't tear his ACL. That's the other part.
1:10:11Big Cat:I think it's his meniscus. He's torn his meniscus like 50 times.
1:10:14PFT Commenter:This is the longest boo-boo ever.
1:10:17Big Cat:That's the Bells. Does he still have bells? No, he's a large guy. He's a big guy. He's a large guy. Max, I'm actually kind of rooting for the Sixers this year. I want to see you do well in basketball. I want all the height. Yeah. No, we have no height. No, all the height. We started this conversation by saying there's no height. No. There is, though. We talked about the Sixers last week on this podcast, or two weeks ago. We're talking about them now saying they could be favorites to win the East Max. Yeah. On this show, they might be. Dark Horse. Jane Daniels, without a doubt, top five quarterback.
1:10:49Big Cat:I got the Sixers in the finals next year.
1:10:52PFT Commenter:You know what? I'm going to match and double. I'm going to say they're going to win the finals. They're going to win a chip? Yeah, they're going to win the chip. Love it. Yeah. National Sports Podcast. All right, that was your... Bradley Beal. Oh, yeah, Bradley Beal.
1:11:05Big Cat:But I do think he'll be a good player for some team.
1:11:08PFT Commenter:I'm having a great time.
1:11:09Big Cat:This is just when the boys haven't talked in a while.
1:11:12PFT Commenter:We hadn't seen, basically, to go behind the fifth wall, fourth wall? Fourth wall. Fourth wall. Break the fourth wall. We were texting this morning. We were like, who should we have on the show? And I was like, why don't we just hang out with the boys? We haven't seen each other in 10 days. This is the longest we go. Because I know we did Wednesday's show, but we only did like 20, 30 minutes to start the show. Maybe it was like 45. I think it was like 45 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. It was longer. 75. It was longer. Listen, when we get talking, we like to hang out. But we hadn't seen each other in a long time.
1:11:45PFT Commenter:A lot of actual sports.
1:11:47Big Cat:Me, Hank and Memes had set a line for that episode.
1:11:50PFT Commenter:Yeah, I actually had a moment. I came back down and my wife was like, I thought you said it was gonna be 25 minutes. I was like, well, you know, we get talking and we just like hanging out.
1:11:58Big Cat:By the way, Hank spot on with his 75 minutes was his line. And I think it was like 75 15. I said, Hank doesn't want us to podcast.
1:12:09PFT Commenter:I said, no, no, no, no, no, no. I am Vegas.
1:12:14Big Cat:No, no. That wasn't. That wasn't. I'm just, we were set in lines. Max said 50 minutes. I sent 100 crying laughing emojis. I was like 75 and a half. I started the conversation, to be fair. Before we started the show, I put Hank and Memes in a group chat. I was like, what do we think the number is here?
1:12:30PFT Commenter:Well, when the days build up, actually, this is when someday, very long from now, except for the fact that the takeies are coming up in AWLs. You're up there. And Christian Yelich. And Christian Yelich. Let's just say 15 years from now when we retire, we should not talk for like five years and then see if we can break the podcasting record. Just catch up.
1:12:52Big Cat:Not talk for 15 years. Just do a year. No, not talk for five years. For five years and then try to do a 25-minute episode. Let's do the first tight episode in the history part of my show.
1:13:01PFT Commenter:I actually think if we didn't speak for five years, we could do like a month-long podcast.
1:13:07Big Cat:You know what? We would just build up all the good stuff that we wanted to talk about and just ignore all the bad shit that had happened to all of our teams.
1:13:15PFT Commenter:All right. My who's back is mascots because you guys see the Chiefs mascot retired. Yeah, I did. Longest tenured mascot in the NFL. Can I just point something out that I – listen, I get it. He retired. 35 years of service. Thank you for your service. Great mascot. One of the best mascots out there. I didn't like that they took his head off in the video.
1:13:36Big Cat:No, I don't like that at all. They shouldn't have done that. You got to go out and ruin it for me. You go out on your shield.
1:13:40PFT Commenter:Yeah, and he was doing the same dances, but without the mascot uniform on. I was like, that's what it looks like. I didn't want to see it.
1:13:46Big Cat:It's like your final act as mascot is to ruin the illusion of the mascot. Right. Right. My four-year-old son, Chris, saw that and he was crying. Disgusting. He thought that the wolf got its head taken off.
1:13:59PFT Commenter:Also, who's back? ESPN just fucking up with that Bobby Jenks thing. RIP Bobby Jenks. That was such a stupid tweet for people who missed it. Bobby Jenks passed away. Really sad. He had stomach cancer. And they said Bobby Jenks, two-time all-star pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, who was on the roster when the franchise won the 2005 World Series. He closed two of the four wins in the World Series. Yeah. In the final out. It was a big part. It's crazy. Crazy. But, yeah. Nothing like a big boy closer. Like Bobby Jenks was that. I mean, the Pope was a massive fan of his. Yeah. Pope was at the game.
1:14:37PFT Commenter:Okay. Zach, who's back of the week?
1:14:41Big Cat:My who's back of the week is Brian Steele, Colonel Defense Attorney Brian Steele. Late last year, he defeated the state of Georgia and Fonnie Wilson. Wait, wait, wait. He defeated the state of Georgia. Back up. Who is this? Brian Steele is a 34-year practicing defense attorney.

Yeah. He has to play a concert there like once a year too.
1:15:37Big Cat:Yeah. Benefit concert. Like don't owe the money to charity. That is correct. Yeah. There's something awesome about being exiled, by the way. That is like the coolest thing that can happen to you.
1:15:45PFT Commenter:So this dude is just a badass lawyer that just keeps getting everyone off?
1:15:49Big Cat:Yes. You got Rico charges. Oh, you remember this one, Big Cat? He said the thug in Young Thug stands for truly humble under God. I love that. Yes, that's correct. Okay. This last time, he just went up against the feds or the federal government. I apologize for the same thing. He had a client, Sean Combs. Okay. They were trying for racketeering as well. And Brian Steele beat that case. So, Brian Steele might just be the greatest defense attorney of all time. Wow. Lockdown D. Good for him. Yes. Yeah. So, yeah. Diddy was – he caught two of the five charges, right? He did catch a couple of them. I also don't condone any charges whatsoever or criminal acts.
1:16:29Big Cat:I just want to say that Brian himself did a great job for his client.
1:16:32PFT Commenter:He had a job to do, and he did it very well.
1:16:34Big Cat:Correct. We're not talking about the facts of it. Zach is our chief legal analyst, and he's just saying, like, lawyer to lawyer, great job. Tip of the cap. Right.
1:16:43PFT Commenter:Right. Okay. Brian Steele. I mean, his name alone. Solid name. That's a really powerful name.

1:16:54Big Cat:34 years practicing.
1:16:56PFT Commenter:He kind of.
1:16:57Big Cat:Does he kind of look like Epstein? Maybe a little bit. Oh, Epstein. He was exonerated, too, right? By Brian Steele? No. Somebody said today that he was like no funny business was happening. Oh, there was no blackmail. Who was saying this? The Department of Justice said that today. Got it.
1:17:16PFT Commenter:You just searched Theo Epstein.
1:17:22Big Cat:I do that all the time. I've talked about that on this show that I get. It's a really bad mix up. I do it often. My bad, my bad. All right, good.
1:17:34PFT Commenter:Who's back of the week? Let's get to our Mount Rushmore. PFT, you got an ad before we do Mount Rushmore, and then we're going to finish with a little recap of how everyone's week was.
1:17:44Big Cat:Yeah, before we get to Mount Rushmore, it's brought to you by our great friends over at Chevy. Chevy, they know you grind all year. Early mornings, late nights, fantasy drafts. The hustle mode is always on, but when summer hits, it's time to chill, and Chevy Silverado makes that possible.

1:20:29Big Cat:are you giving up on this one max we're just not prepared uh and when preparation uh is bad you're not good yeah that's that's the one that's in every that's in every weight room uh every football weight room across the country. Whatever that quote is. But yeah, our preparation is bad. Opportunity meet is bad. Let's have a good Mount Rushmore. Yeah, let's have a good Mount Rushmore. And there's no bad picks. That's not true. We're not on chill week yet. No, this is the start of chill week. This is the start of chill week.
1:21:04Big Cat:First pick is a public trip and fall. Okay, good pick.
1:21:09PFT Commenter:Had it on there. Alright, good, good, good, good, good.
1:21:11Big Cat:Good, nice, nice, nice.
1:21:13PFT Commenter:Public trick and football is really good. I think... 1-1? Maybe not 1-1, but the curb, tripping over a curb. It's tough. Worse.
1:21:22Big Cat:When you actually go onto the ground and people... There's strangers that have to come over to you and be like, are you okay? Yeah. Sucks. Stairs. You see people telling their friends, like, that guy just fell. Yeah, that guy just fell. What's... Tripping upstairs might be the worst. Tripping upstairs is bad. Upstairs sucks. Tripping on a running treadmill. Yeah, that's very embarrassing Black ice is always
1:21:43PFT Commenter:But that black ice gets kind of When it's cold out and it's icy You get a little bit of a pass
1:21:49Big Cat:Tripping like getting at the top of an escalator Like just the little step The smallest step in the world
1:21:56PFT Commenter:Tripping when you get out of a cab And break your foot And then you can't do the dingers only thing
1:22:02Big Cat:That's a bad one And then find out it was actually just walking You were never in a cab at all Yeah, no, that happens That is honestly fine, it happens uh tripping on the last step because you think there's another one oh that oh i kind of like that feeling oh it gives you a little bit in the ball that's a bad it's like a roller coaster
1:22:22PFT Commenter:when you just when you when you know that you're safe it does it is a little bit of a cheap thrill
1:22:28Big Cat:little cheap you know i know it's really embarrassing because when when dogs trip they get embarrassed too yeah they have that same they look at you like oh fuck yeah okay okay our one one is going to be waving at somebody who it turns out wasn't actually
1:22:44PFT Commenter:waving at you yep we we we had this on the list is uh intercepting someone else's hello yeah yeah yeah yeah that's brutal it's brutal brutal uh zach what should we do we have our whole board
1:23:02Big Cat:we do have several options right now what are you thinking how are we feeling
1:23:06PFT Commenter:I feel good about a 2-3 combo. And also the 6 is a really strong one that I think is just very – I want you to feel good about these.
1:23:20Big Cat:3 is good. So 3 is embarrassing. Yeah. 3 is pretty embarrassing. Yeah, yeah. Okay.
1:23:26PFT Commenter:All right. Let's do it. We'll start with that, and then we'll figure it out. our first one is when you let out a little bit of a fart thinking that it's not going to smell and then it just demolishes the room and it's just the worst everyone has those moments you got a little too much basically it's almost like letting a little bit out of a tire that's overinflated I'm not going to really fart here I'm just going to leak a little bit to give myself some comfort and next thing you know everyone's like holy shit what the fuck is that smell
1:23:58Big Cat:You're trying to get some breathing room. And then you also have to live with the fact that, you know, if you let the rest out, it's going to be worse. Yeah. And then sometimes a national reporter is sitting next to you. Yes. As you're doing that. Yes. We're just going to start talking about things that I do. That becomes news. Yes. Yeah. It's a news story.
1:24:15PFT Commenter:Okay. Relatable. Our second pick is a simple one. It's just fucking up any type of handshake, whether it be handshake or dap or hug and you go handshake. just that entire exchange sucks really bad yep we had that too yeah really really bad
1:24:34Big Cat:especially if it's on camera especially if it's on camera all right our next one calling your teacher mom yeah i was i was gonna go with that next so interesting thing
1:24:44PFT Commenter:zach had never heard of this really i guess just didn't do it because i said he's like what do you mean i was like you don't remember like in first grade i called my teacher mom and that sucked i
1:24:54Big Cat:never ripped one of those was it bad when you do it it's just embarrassing it's very embarrassing were you homeschooled no just public school right okay but uh is she is she endearing about it when you say mom just oh i think it happens all the time yeah i think the teacher is very understanding but as a kid you're like that's the biggest fuck up i could make that's not my mom okay yeah okay good pick yeah we had it it's just interesting zach had never heard of me all right you guys are coming back around yep um i'm gonna go with staring at someone and they catch you okay so like all right creep yeah no but if you're just like looking around a room and then someone sees you staring at them well are you staring at them or are you looking around the room we had it i didn't know making eye contact from afar with with would you yeah make awkwardly making eye contact with someone with someone from afar when you're staring at somebody and then they catch you staring at them all right whatever is it more awkward if it's if it's a guy What I wrote was, it's like, have you ever, like, gone up to a girl and you drop your bag and then accidentally you roll a duct tape in your rope and your knife falls out?
1:26:02Big Cat:It's kind of awkward. You act like this has never happened. It's kind of weird. If you're on a side. No, I'm on the side. Wait, hold on.
1:26:09PFT Commenter:First of all, you're talking to the guy who wears sunglasses all the time. He can stare at anyone. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. So he's good. He's life-hacked life.
1:26:17Big Cat:Correct. Like, good pick. So the pick was making eye contact. Making eye contact with someone from afar, like down the hallway. And there's just 30 seconds in between being like, do I say hello right now? Oh, that's way different. That's a way different pick. Yeah, no. Is that your third pick? I said we had bad preparation. We had bad preparation. I mean, you can have that for a completely different pick.
1:26:42PFT Commenter:That's a totally different thing that is embarrassing.
1:26:45Big Cat:Whatever.
1:26:46PFT Commenter:That's an embarrassing – what memes said is a good pick.
1:26:50Big Cat:Yeah, no, we had bad preparation. I read the first three words of that and didn't really continue here. I started this with bad preparation. You're right. Bad preparation and bad whatever. What is bad preparation? Now I'm in shambles.
1:27:11Big Cat:I'm just going to start ripping here. Yeah, just start. Go into the bathroom and you have a bad shake and a little pee stain. Good pick. Okay. Had it. P. Stain. Good pick. PFT just never does any of these things over here. I say good pick. No, I felt a tone. There was no tone there for me. You're lashing out right now, Max. Yeah, you are. I know. Next pick, having a bad Mount Rushmore performance. Embarrassing. I had your back with the kidnapping. Can't relate to that. All right. Our next pick, we're going to go with calling somebody by the wrong name who you've known for way too long.
1:27:48PFT Commenter:Good one. so we were having this debate I think it's way Zach and I were actually disagreeing I think it's way worse when you call when you're close to the name but wrong versus way off like if someone I know called me Dave I'd be offended versus like if someone I know called me Paul I'd be like dude that's not even close to my name who's named Paul yeah right
1:28:12Big Cat:but this was this was Hank's big pick and I think Hank might have had an explanation behind it no i mean i do it all the time uh even just like me you know you meet people we meet a lot of people once or twice it's acquaintances and then you see them again and then they know your name and you don't know their name i've gotten very good at like introducing you know managing that situation by introducing someone else someone else but also like the one i was gonna type is or if you're if you're talking to a girl at a bar and then like 45 minutes later she's like what's my name yeah yeah and then you just you just blank the uh i
1:28:47PFT Commenter:think more people should wear name tags i i've made all the interns wear name tags here i think just everybody just in general out in public should have a name tag on the it's it's acquaintances because if i said you're if i said your name right it's like who obviously you know your brain like i get my kids names wrong i call my kids all their other you know what i mean but if it's someone that you've met like two or three times that's the spot where it sucks and it sucks it's like they should know and and you've met them before you've talked to them it's brutal it's
1:29:16Big Cat:almost worse if you find out you're name yeah you're like i feel like such an asshole if you find out that you got the name wrong like after you're done hanging out with them yeah and then you think back of all the times you called them the wrong name in that hang yep yep bad times uh
1:29:29PFT Commenter:all right zach i think we should i think we should go with 13 that was yours that was good i think it's a strong one and i've been thinking about and laughing to myself about number seven I think we just go for a home run that might not work. You guys want us to send one? All right. So you say 13. I'll say seven.
1:29:47Big Cat:This is the good pick. Texting in the wrong group chat.
1:29:50PFT Commenter:Yep. Yep. It's just so bad winning.
1:29:53Big Cat:At 45 day one.
1:29:54PFT Commenter:Oh, yep. Yeah. That was bad. It's just you can't get over it. You just feel like such. And then you try to bury it or, you know, airplane mode. Yeah. Try to think. Try to think. Oh, ha ha. I was actually talking about this. You're just screwed.
1:30:09Big Cat:Well, now they have the, like, which is almost even a bigger roll of the dice is the unsend. Yeah. Because you don't know if they saw it or not. Yeah. And you're like, do I unsend this? You just assume that they saw it. But you assume they saw it. And then it's even more awkward because it's clearly, you can't even play it off.
1:30:23PFT Commenter:Yeah. All right. This one is going to be, I don't know how it's going to look, but we have to be true to ourselves. Because this is the one we talked about the most, I would say, Zach, you and I.
1:30:32Big Cat:We got to keep it honest.
1:30:33PFT Commenter:We got to keep it honest. Because we were laughing about this one. And we were just like, you can't, like, this is so embarrassing. You can't do it. as a grown man wearing a bike helmet. I think it's so embarrassing. I understand the safety. I wear one. You just can't. You just look like a fucking fool, and you look like an idiot, especially when you get off the bike, and you're like, that second where you're walking without the bike?
1:30:57Big Cat:If you're on a normal bike, yes. If they're on the speed bikes, and they're bike riders, whatever. But if you're just on a mountain bike, like going a mile down the street or the e-bikes the city bikes
1:31:11PFT Commenter:I'm not talking about the Lance Armstrong's weekend warriors I'm talking about just a grown regular man like in a suit in regular clothes
1:31:19Big Cat:wearing a bike helmet if you purchase a bike helmet and rent bikes that's a very embarrassing situation
1:31:25PFT Commenter:yeah that's a good pick I do wear them because I want to be safe but every time I clip in I'm like this fucking looks ridiculous
1:31:36Big Cat:You have to, but there's no good way to do it.
1:31:38PFT Commenter:There's no good way to do it. Yeah, and they try to make it like, oh, look at this cool bike helmet. And it just looks ridiculous. You know what's really cool? Guardian.
1:31:46Big Cat:Safety.
1:31:46PFT Commenter:Yeah. Not having your brain splatter on the concrete. Honestly, though, I've worn bike helmets that I would probably prefer my brain to be splattered. All right.
1:31:58Big Cat:Hank, I just highlighted what I think the last one should be. Let's go, boys. Yep. Do it. I like it. All right, last one. Do it. I like it. coming fast coming really too fast that's true coming way too fast yeah because you there's no explanation for it you can't you can't pretend that it didn't happen no you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube no you can't pretend it was a good experience no no you can't unring that bell well for you it was yeah but like sometimes you're like oh yeah like you know whatever like but you liked it when you can fake yourself like yeah you know you had some good
1:32:30PFT Commenter:moments too right yeah no no when it's yeah no no it's not fun not fun at all no especially when it happens when you're just like staring at a chick like 50 feet away
1:32:43Big Cat:and then she's like you know she's gonna tell her friends and the cops
1:32:46PFT Commenter:and next thing you know you're coming too fast yeah
1:32:54Big Cat:okay yeah whatever uh what'd you think about coming too fast I can't relate I don't want to talk about it We need to normalize it more This is the last pick of the draft here It is from the evolutionary standpoint It's a genetic advantage To come really fast And get more chicks pregnant Last pick Just really bad pit stains
1:33:24PFT Commenter:Good one I'm surprised Zipper Down wasn't picked.
1:33:29Big Cat:Zipper Down.
1:33:30PFT Commenter:And Camera Light on your phone. Yeah. We had that on there. Fly Down's a good one.
1:33:35Big Cat:Oh, fuck.
1:33:36PFT Commenter:Having your Camera Light on sucks.
1:33:38Big Cat:I also said phone. This doesn't happen to me, but I feel embarrassment for other people when your phone ringer goes off in a quiet room. Yeah. Like at a wedding, if your phone ringer goes off, that's got to be the most embarrassing thing ever.
1:33:51PFT Commenter:Like your alarm goes off at a very weird time. You're setting an alarm for. Zach and I had a few that we wanted to just feel out what you guys thought. Okay. Because it's kind of similar to the, we had almost like a, as a grown man category where bike helmets was the strongest one. But the other ones we had in that category were just drinking from straws. Embarrassing.
1:34:16Big Cat:I like straws sometimes.
1:34:17PFT Commenter:Okay. I do too, but it's a little embarrassing. Eating a corn dog.
1:34:22Big Cat:I do drink from straws more often in the privacy of my own. Correct. Correct. I think drinking from straw, if it has the lid for the straw, it's fine. If you're drinking from a straw of like an open cup, that's embarrassing. Fast food cups, always straws. Yeah. Yeah. Like that. You have to have a straw. You have to. Trying to drink out of it without a straw is ridiculous.
1:34:44PFT Commenter:Of course. Of course. And then the other one that maybe will be called misogynistic. I don't know. uh i'm always just a little bit embarrassed as a grown man when i have to shake a woman's hand
1:34:55Big Cat:i just it feels weird yeah that's that's that's fair yeah or like when yeah when you meet when you're meeting guys and girls yeah and you've never met the girl yeah it's like i'm not hugging you right but like i'm gonna shake your hand like this is weird like we don't like i always shaking
1:35:12PFT Commenter:it not i'm not talking about business setting i'm talking about like informal kind of setting
1:35:16Big Cat:you know what i mean i always say i always like i also feel awkward about it but i'll just be like all right nice firm handshake i'll say it like out loud because i don't know that makes it way
1:35:25PFT Commenter:worse no right in the eye and shake your hand i do that i put you out what you're supposed to do when you shake someone's hand a lot of times i'll do the handshake guy handshake guy and then just
1:35:34Big Cat:like a meek little hello to the woman i think the staring is gonna play i think if you get caught staring like getting caught staring is a thing like no like yeah yeah it sometimes you sometimes you're working out and like yeah there's just a really hot i don't go to public gyms come on now oh we had we zach go ahead working out it's pretty rough too yeah running as far as embarrassments go running running just running just running running sprinting is embarrassing it's very it's gonna be so embarrassing when we do this hot dog thing i've already thought about you guys watching me run oh yeah oh yeah we had uh getting crossed up yeah in basketball oh we had a we oh pug pug did get crossed when you get crossed up and it's on it's on tape we had i forgot we should have done this one i think that it's getting hit in the head with a
1:36:27PFT Commenter:ball no matter how it happens is always embarrassing like i'm saying you could be playing catch it hits you in the head that's very embarrassing but even when we're playing hoops out here and like everyone's shooting around and you're not even looking and the ball hits you
1:36:41Big Cat:in the back of the head you're embarrassed i think the person who's shooting is more embarrassed oh never oh i i feel no horrendous no you're you're a bad guy no you're that's you're no you're a bad shooter what if you just like brick it no but sometimes it's not even that like even if you like hit the side of the rim you miss it i always feel bad you're a bad shooter you've never missed a shot i don't miss that badly if you can literally hit it off of the side of the rim and it can bounce that's just the bounce of the ball baby yeah but then you still feel bad i think you're
1:37:10PFT Commenter:missing the whole rim and then you should feel bad if i missed the whole rim i'd feel bad like you you you are not you're acting like you're fucking steph curry out i'm not as i'm i'm not shooting air balls and hitting people i never said air ball i think that's what's happening this is this is a crazy deflection do you feel do you feel embarrassed when it when you make when you shoot a real shot that has a real bounce and you hit someone in the head i feel bad no no
1:37:37Big Cat:but i feel bad i shouldn't have been standing there i feel if i get hit i feel embarrassed i think you gotta have your head on a swivel you guys are mean if it's no you're a bad shooter i don't yes i never said airball but that's really what we're talking i agree airball back
1:37:51PFT Commenter:you are just creating a scenario i never said because it doesn't make sense when you're shooting around if you have a regular shot that hits the rim and hits someone in the head i don't feel i'm not like oh my god i'm embarrassed for that what if you swish it and it hits their head
1:38:06Big Cat:i would still feel bad that's crazy that's crazy it's like they're standing under the hoop yeah i feel good yeah i guess i don't know if i had a wild shot that was like not even close it hit someone in the head i would feel bad i guess it's you're still like hitting someone in the head i don't i don't know maybe it's maybe embarrassed is the wrong word it's more like all right what else we got uh awkwardly walking faster than the person in front of you on the sidewalk and then you have to like speed up to pass them oh yeah yeah or if it's a girl and you have to go you know or just the street the eight miles or say on your left yeah that's what it was yeah yeah on your left that's great gotta let him know that you're there you don't you don't want to
1:38:47PFT Commenter:surprise him the uh yeah or the face to face you go one way hallway i i am an all-time bad guy at
1:38:55Big Cat:that yeah i don't know what it is about me but i i hit on such a high percentage of those where i go the same way same way yeah switch something up i had a swinging and missing in a slow pitch softball game yep yep we had that so bad and also on the t yeah that's bad i wouldn't know beast i didn't say i didn't say it was you i didn't say it was you forgetting a wedge a few holes back no that's a butt crack is that the whole pick butt crack i thought about it but then because that's that's not even true anymore like i don't even get embarrassed about it it's just i used to get very embarrassed about it yeah what about my fucking asshole what about saying see you later and then you guys both go in the same direction oh brutal that's It's more awkward, I think, than embarrassing.
1:39:48Big Cat:Yeah.
1:39:49PFT Commenter:Or walking the wrong direction and having to realize you have to turn around in front of people.
1:39:54Big Cat:Or like, have a good flight. Thanks, you too. Yeah. It's like, dude, just checking.
1:39:57PFT Commenter:Yeah. I had thinking Caleb Williams was entering the best situation a rookie quarterback has ever had. That's an embarrassing moment. Pretty embarrassing. Car breaking down, causing the entire city of Chicago to...
1:40:08Big Cat:That's pretty embarrassing. I wouldn't call that a little embarrassing moment. Yeah, that's a big embarrassing moment. Yeah, big embarrassing. Hank had forgetting your keys in your apartment. Yeah, like getting down to your car. Being like, oh, fuck. Yeah. My keys are upstairs. But that doesn't really. That's not embarrassing. Yeah, P.T. talked me off that one. I thought that was a good one.
1:40:28PFT Commenter:You know what's a good one? I'm not saying it's you, but like once or twice a year, sleeping into like 1 p.m. and having all your friends think you're dead. That's embarrassing. That's super embarrassing.
1:40:42Big Cat:Probably had fun, though. What about getting demoted? Once a year. Yeah. What about getting demoted as your fantasy team owner? Oh, yeah. That's pretty embarrassing. Just getting demoted. Yeah. Yeah, demoted. Yeah.
1:40:55PFT Commenter:Just fire you. Fire you. Like, what are you doing? Getting pipped. Yeah. Food stuck in your teeth. Sneeze fart. Sneeze fart. Oh, Zach, you had a good one.
1:41:05Big Cat:Wearing a sticker on your hat for an entire day and no one telling you. The fast food one, Zach. Embarrassing. you know like uh past casual workers if they know your order like if uh the gas station employee knows like what cigarettes you're there to get or like oh hey good to see you again
1:41:20PFT Commenter:always bad yeah yeah them having it what what other ones did you have uh card declining at
1:41:26Big Cat:like the gas station you're buying like a danish or a soda that's always kind of rough one time i went into a gas station in college and the guy behind the counter just looked at me and said let me guess magnums oh and it was like the coolest i've ever felt in my life it's pretty I don't know. I just wanted to tell that story. Oh, that is sick. I don't really have anything with what we're talking about. Yeah. What did you say? Were you getting magnums? No. Oh, no. I think I was getting melatonin. That guy probably said that to every guy that walked in. Yeah, probably. Probably said it like 20 times.
1:41:54Big Cat:I still think about it. It was like 10 years ago.
1:41:57PFT Commenter:The other grown man, as a grown man, non-airport situation, but as a grown man, just wearing a backpack. I think that's kind of embarrassing. I do it. I'm embarrassed by it.
1:42:10Big Cat:One other one like that that makes no sense but makes sense to me is holding an umbrella.
1:42:15PFT Commenter:Yep.
1:42:16Big Cat:Even though it's obviously way better than being wet. There's something about holding an umbrella that sucks. Correct. Correct.
1:42:24PFT Commenter:Using sunscreen?
1:42:25Big Cat:Yeah.
1:42:26PFT Commenter:I also had travel-related. When you get on a flight and all the overhead storage is full, so you have to go four rows back to put your bag up. And then when you get off, having to basically hold everyone up to be like, can I get my bag? I hate that moment. I fucking hate that. Yeah, it's pretty bad. It's so you just hope that someone's going to help you and grab it for you.
1:42:49Big Cat:Asking someone to put sunscreen on your back. Oh, that that's that can be tough.
1:42:54PFT Commenter:Just putting on sunscreen.
1:42:55Big Cat:Yeah.
1:42:56PFT Commenter:It's embarrassing.
1:42:57Big Cat:Especially if if you like have to ask one of your friends. One of your boys. Yeah. One of your boys.
1:43:02PFT Commenter:We should do that for chill week. Anyone can ask me. I'll do it.
1:43:05Big Cat:I won't wear sunscreen. saying i love you by mistake to somebody yep zach you had that as well yeah that you don't actually love yeah or you don't love yet uh getting out of a pool without using the stairs i just always am this is more of a personal i had a fight i i talked about i was at a pool two days ago and i was like i have one problem with my pool here there's no step yeah i have to use the this the ladder yeah yeah the ladder sucks i did it i did it there's no good angles for a big guy coming in or out of a ladder.
1:43:34PFT Commenter:I did it once over vacation, and then for the rest of vacation, I just put a chair with a towel next to the stairs. So I would just walk up the stairs and grab a towel. And mind you, this is in front of my family, but I'm still embarrassed. They don't need to see this.
1:43:50Big Cat:Chicago pools are also so packed all the time. Yeah, too many people. Tiny shoes? Yes.
1:43:57PFT Commenter:Tiny shoes is embarrassing.
1:43:58Big Cat:It is embarrassing. getting an ultrasound on your testicles from a stranger.
1:44:04PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah.
1:44:05Big Cat:That's pretty embarrassing. That is.
1:44:06PFT Commenter:That is very embarrassing. Not getting a wave back. Zach also had falling in the shower. How often does that happen?
1:44:15Big Cat:It's still pretty embarrassing. Like going down wet. There's nothing worse. Going on a DL.
1:44:21PFT Commenter:Yeah.
1:44:21Big Cat:After falling on the shower.
1:44:22PFT Commenter:How often do you fall in the shower?
1:44:24Big Cat:Not often at all, but a couple times it's happened. I'm just like, this is the worst day ever. go down hard because yeah yeah dangerous oh one that we missed the uh i don't know if this happens
1:44:36PFT Commenter:to you guys but the when you're just like agreeing with someone and you're having conversations like oh you've seen this show and then you say yes and then they're like oh what was your favorite part or something they ask you to you're just like fuck getting caught in a white lie yeah the like the most innocuous you're just trying to get out of the conversation yep you're just agreeing and And then you're just fucked or similar. When you can't hear someone, you ask them to repeat themselves multiple times. That sucks. Sucks. Zach, what other ones do you have? I got an accidental Instagram like.
1:45:06PFT Commenter:Yep. Okay. Yeah, that's good one. Kind of rough. That's a good one. It can happen to anyone. Perfect booties. LeBron.
1:45:12Big Cat:He did that. That was bad, too. Just getting caught in too many ass pics on Instagram. That's always bad.
1:45:18PFT Commenter:You got to flood the zone. Yeah. What was that? What was that? Oh. Oh, it's a podcast. Yes, means he's just pointing. You have to guess who he was pointing at. Yeah. Having a stranger's house. It's terrible. Scott Boris is off. I had shitting on a plane.
1:45:38Big Cat:Yeah, I don't do it. But there has been a moment where it was an emergency and it's not good. Pushing on a pole door.
1:45:46PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah. Hank had that. Sucks. Sucks. You feel like such a fucking idiot.
1:45:51Big Cat:The doors here are like hard.
1:45:54PFT Commenter:What?
1:45:55Big Cat:The conference room doors here. I get them wrong every time.
1:45:59PFT Commenter:Actually, I do that. I get my own office door wrong. So, yeah, I know what you're saying. It sucks. All right. Any other ones? Good Mount Rushmore. Really good Mount Rushmore. Great job, Max.
1:46:10Big Cat:Zach, did you have any other ones? You guys ever get food as a group and then you're at the table and you have similar items, but maybe you're going no onion and I went no lettuce and then you take a bite of the wrong one before like you're the guy who bit ate the other guy's order on accident yeah and you ate it too fast yeah oh yeah i've done that before and i was like oh now there's no going back here yeah have you guys ever done this one you order dinner like your main dinner from one restaurant and then you order a side of something else that you like from a different restaurant and then both the delivery guys show up at the same time at your door yeah and they get confused yeah and then they look at each other like oh this guy's just really unhealthy yep yep Yeah.
1:46:49PFT Commenter:Yeah. That's bad. Also, just minor embarrassment when you're like when you don't see someone in like a crosswalk or something. It's like when it's basically your fault. Yeah. Like anything on the road that's clearly your fault. You're just sitting there like, yeah, that's my bad. You just got to take it. Like, whoops. You got to own it. Sorry about that. Okay. Good job, guys. Good Mount Rushmore. I like it, Hank.
1:47:14Big Cat:Good work.
1:47:14PFT Commenter:Good work. Staring's going to play. we'll see what's the actual phrasing it's going to be i don't know okay uh someone catches at you
1:47:24Big Cat:staring at them across the room yeah getting caught staring at someone probably okay are we good at that you act like everywhere you could be like looking at someone's shirt and and then there'll be like are you staring at me and then it's like fuck that person thing like i'd be like you what did you say no no i was gonna make a joke but You act like this has never happened. What type of shirt? I don't know. Sometimes shirts have like sayings on them. Is it a tight shirt? Shirts have words. You can be reading. I'm talking about a guy. Oh, oh, oh. A guy that was staring or getting scared? You guys are the ones who are making this sexual.
1:48:06Big Cat:I was making it just about murder. Murder? What? You are the one who wears sunglasses every single day of your life. The cat already made that part. I know.
1:48:16PFT Commenter:Yeah.
1:48:17Big Cat:So like you, this is, your podcast didn't just skip backwards.

1:48:58PFT Commenter:go to play yeah oh all right but it was just funny because the thing that meme said was way better yeah no i that's fair i read the first because when you see someone 50 feet away and you're like have to do the entire walk up yeah that that sucks did you think about putting meatballs on the list

1:52:07PFT Commenter:I should have just bought the other one that I saw online that looked exactly like Vanny. You guys can keep asking me and the answer is going to keep coming back in the head. Did you remember the one I sent that was literally a clone of Vanny? It looks so good. It was a clean Vanny. I'm so sick of this man. You need to send like two pictures and we're good. But does it actually work? I think so. Have you done... Yes. That's the thing is... Yes. You haven't done anything. Shout out to Mike. Yes.
1:52:28Big Cat:But there's still holes in the fucking van. You haven't seen the van. My guy Mike has been doing work on the van. I'm not disparaging Mike. Hank, you literally said it might work, and then you changed your mind and said, yes, definitely. Well, yeah. What happened there? Once Big Cat sends the paperwork, we're going to find out. Oh, my God. All right, then I'll do the paperwork. Definitely, we're going to find out. Golf well. Golf with Big Cat. Zach, remind me to do the paperwork when we come back from Tahoe.

1:53:16Big Cat:like uh this was my first time uh going home since i'm moving up here uh the reception was great you You know, I spent a lot of time with my family. It was nice. You know, you take time for granted sometimes. Then you step away and come back to it. It's like, oh, my God, I missed this so much. This was lovely.
1:53:32PFT Commenter:Oh, no.
1:53:33Big Cat:You're talking about the show or going home? Oh, no. Oh, I was talking about seeing my parents again.
1:53:37PFT Commenter:Oh, okay. Yeah. But did it make you feel like I want to just come back?
1:53:43Big Cat:Wait, what did you say?
1:53:44PFT Commenter:Did you feel like, why don't I just move back to Florida?
1:53:47Big Cat:Oh, no, I didn't do that. But no, I didn't think that. They call it homesick sometimes. Everybody gets a little homesick. So it was nice to cure the homesickness a little. You have a home-cooked meal? I did. My mom made several home-cooked meals. I ate way too much. I went into the week dieting, left the week never dieting, even a little bit. You can't die July 4th. Yeah, that's a crazy thing. What was the best meal that she cooked? The best meal that she cooked would probably have to be, we did a little baked chicken
1:54:15PFT Commenter:quarters uh string beans mac and cheese nice love that what uh and so your mom listens to the show
1:54:24Big Cat:my mom does consume a lot of the shows now she does she never did but now she does and what did she have any questions or anything uh she was she was curious what we were ranking the other day okay letter of m's she's like what are you talking about m's for and then it did come up at dinner She's like, so Zach, what's a dinger? And I didn't.
1:54:46Big Cat:Okay. So just stuff like that where she's trying. But she's over consuming. What did she think about Dungeons and Dragons? She let me know that I did terrible on the costumes.
1:54:59Big Cat:I think her quote was, yeah, you fucked that up.
1:55:01PFT Commenter:Oh, I love it. I love it. Which again, we're working on that. Yeah.
1:55:05Big Cat:Could be a redimp if you guys allow.
1:55:07PFT Commenter:Yeah. Oh, yeah. Big time redimp. Everyone else had a good week? I had a good week. Yeah. I took a bunch of back shots. Acupuncture.
1:55:15Big Cat:Nice. That's what they call it. I have a confession to make that I'm also not proud of. I play a lot of pickleball over the week. Ugh. Okay. You get roped into that? No. It was just with the boys. McCarthy, Tom Lay, different guys that work. It was fun. Pickleball is very fun to play. It's kind of embarrassing to say you play it. Yes, exactly. But it is fun when you're actually playing it. it's the worst sport in the world to watch. Yeah, I just don't like how there's a small group of rich people that are telling America, like, you watch pickleball now on TV. Yeah. That's a thing that we're going to do.
1:55:50Big Cat:But when you actually play pickleball, it is fun. I kind of went into it, like, reluctantly. Like, they needed a fourth, and McCarthy was like, hey, come play some pickleball. And I was like, okay. But then by the end of it, we were like, we didn't want to stop. We rented a court for an hour, and we extended it. You don't have to be that. You don't have to be that athletic. You don't have to like, you know, your body, you're not going to be like dead tired after playing pickleball. No, but it still makes you feel like you did something, like you're doing something. Should I try? Yeah.
1:56:17PFT Commenter:I played it like twice and I hated it both times.
1:56:20Big Cat:It's not, it's not bad to play, but the whole act of like getting the racket, reserving the court. I didn't do any of that. Driving to the pickleball court is embarrassing. I've also never done it, but I feel like it's a good like couples, like it can be, you know, co-ed. It's not that much of a skill gap.
1:56:36PFT Commenter:if we're talking about athletics there was a moment that i'm maybe not super proud of but my kids were playing on the trampoline in the house i rented and uh i lowered the hoop to eight and a half and just fucking yammed for like 30 minutes that's awesome but just wasn't watching my kids like trampolines are kind of dangerous oh i was just having a yam session
1:56:56Big Cat:i thought you were talking about like the like the basket no pool no there's a court and then
1:57:00PFT Commenter:a trampoline next to it and they were in the trampoline i was supposed to be watching them And I was just fucking throwing down. But you should have seen some of the dunks.
1:57:08Big Cat:I was throwing down, dude. It felt so awesome. I had the boys from Hard Factor came up, stayed with me. And then Pug came over on the 4th of July. Pug is a big cigar guy. So Pug brought. How many cigars did you bring up? I didn't know that about you. Yeah, he brought like seven or eight. He hit up the group. He was like, I'm bringing cigars. And I was like, oh, hell yeah. I'm excited about that. You ever pull Clinton? I don't know. What does that mean? You put a cigar in a pussy?
1:57:38Big Cat:No. Okay. The cigars were good, though. The people enjoyed the cigars. Cigars rocked. It was a good time. I love cigars. NASCAR recap hug? NASCAR was awesome. The 99 driver did not do great, which was tough, but it was a good time. Good vibes. I might be a NASCAR guy now. Well, they did the street race this year. It wasn't rained out. Yeah, I saw the clouds. I was like, oh, yep. I was thinking. Here it comes. It started a downpour like right after the race ended. Oh, hell yes. Perfect timing.
1:58:06PFT Commenter:Hell yes. Pug. All right, everyone else. Memes, you had a good - Oh, you were sick.
1:58:13Big Cat:Got sick. Knees coughed right in my mouth.
1:58:16PFT Commenter:That was it.

Oh, the drone shot of us running 100 yards is going to be awesome. Should we be wearing a hot dog outfit? We could. I think ideally.

It's 100 yards. Yeah. Meters, whatever the fuck. It's going to be hot. Someone's going to pee. How much... How disgusting... Yeah. How disgusting could you make a hot dog thing in 100 yards? Oh, Max, that could do damage. And you're going to be eating a hot dog, too? The hot dog smell is going to get in there?
2:01:29PFT Commenter:Zach, how would you say you run? Poorly. Okay. I expected that. All right, we'll say their number again real quick. Six. 33. 73. 21.
