Travis Pastrana, Preseason Football Thoughts, Tommy Fleetwood Chokes Again, Who's Back Of The Week + Mt Rushmore Of Things We Can't Wait To Do When We're Old

11:36PFT Commenter:No, you

11:36Big Cat:have first down. First down? The first down? Yeah. What's going on, Hank? How are we? How are we feeling today?

11:49Big Cat:we might have ourselves a little bit of a Wally Pipps situation hope your day's going well you really delivered that well I'm home for a funeral Zach yeah that's my condolences Hank

12:06PFT Commenter:we made him he's like I'm not saying that you actually have to say that and then you delivered it with zero confidence

12:14Big Cat:I just knew the circumstances. No, but you look good, Zach. Don't understand yourself. Wally Pimp.

12:21PFT Commenter:Yeah.

12:21Big Cat:He does look good. I won't move anything around, Hank. I promise I'm not touching your stuff.

12:25PFT Commenter:Yeah.

12:25Big Cat:It's all right. Thank you for having me. Zach, we're decorating your room while you're going, Hank.

12:29PFT Commenter:All right, new set of downs. What were you going to say about the Bucs? I think the Bucs look good. Cal Dress looked good. I know he's a backup quarterback. Mbuga got a catch. Catch looked good. That guy's still not playing. We just got to get the weight off him.

12:39Big Cat:A couple more weeks. Sauna suit something. I would love to see him play, though. Soon. Please soon. He might just be in good shape for a playoff push. I just love the idea of him next to Vita Vea. Just so much mass right there.

12:51PFT Commenter:It's also very funny because when he does get to the playing weight that the Bucs feel is good enough for him to play, he's still going to be very fat. Big boy, yeah. Yeah, just throw him out there, dude. What does it matter?

13:02Big Cat:This might be how you guys stop the tush push. Historically, we are pretty good against the tush push. adding him is just a whole other defensive whole lot of defense on him. A whole lot of tush. You guys have more tush than the Eagles. More tush than they have push you think?

13:17PFT Commenter:Well speaking of the tush push Landon Dickerson carted off. So yeah he was carted off. Max?

13:25Big Cat:He was kind of carted off. It is important to make a distinction that when you cart somebody off there's the back to the cart and then there's a shotgun. Landon Dickerson was riding shotgun as he was carted off. He also was helped off of the field and then brought to the cart and then sat shotgun. So the cart didn't come all the way out? The cart was not on the field. Okay. The cart was not on the field. He got driven to the locker room riding shotgun. Correct. Oh, so he was just going for a ride. It was probably fine. But there's a lot of... Could he have driven the cart? Probably. He's a man.

13:59Big Cat:Yeah, yeah. Did you watch the video of it? Yes. So there's a lot of good news, bad news going around. Okay, injury breakdown.

14:04PFT Commenter:Do you want to do bad news first or good news?

14:06Big Cat:We already did the good news.

14:08PFT Commenter:He was sitting past your seat.

14:10Big Cat:That he was sitting past your seat and that he was... Sucks when you pass over the good news. He almost was able to walk off of the field. He had Big Dom. He had his arms around Big Dom. Big Dom was helping him off. But he was putting a little bit of weight on it. The video shows that it didn't look like a ton of contact, which is always bad news. But I saw what happened to Memes a couple weeks ago. He got really upset off of something that there's not real good footage of. You don't really know what happened. I'm going to wait to really react until I know what the injury is. What did Memes get really upset about?

14:50Big Cat:He thought Justin Fields was dead.

14:52PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah.

14:53Big Cat:Always assumed for the worst.

14:54PFT Commenter:Yeah, he stubbed his toe. I like this. This is maturity. There's no reason to freak out yet. Right, no.

15:02Big Cat:There's no reason to freak out yet.

15:04PFT Commenter:It could be anything. If you were to freak out, what would it look like? I can't tell you because that would just be a fake freak out

15:13Big Cat:because there's no reason to freak out yet. Okay, but what's the darkest thought that's going through your head?

15:20Big Cat:That he would be hurt. He's a big part of our offensive line. Our offensive line is a big part of our offense. It's a big part of our team. It would just have to be a next-man-up mentality, but he's a big man to lose. You guys got to go next-man-up. Yeah, the next-man-up is not as good as him. More teams should do next-man-up. They should, and the Eagles normally do, but we already lost Becton, so that's kind of the next-man-up. You lost Becton, but he's on the Chargers, and then the Chargers lost Becton, so now the Chargers have to go next-man-up. Yeah, that's next-man-up. Everywhere is in a next man up kind of situation.

16:00PFT Commenter:Preseason injuries shouldn't count. Preseason? We should just turn them off.

16:04Big Cat:What if we just don't do it?

16:07PFT Commenter:Well, he got injured not in a preseason game.

16:10Big Cat:Yeah. Just don't do it.

16:12PFT Commenter:Don't do practice. Don't do training camp. Yeah. I feel like that might be more injuries. Yeah, you don't know that. Yeah, I think that if you're just like, hey, guys, come back and it's week one. Yeah.

16:24Big Cat:Get everyone to work out on their own accord. Safely. Safely. And then once everyone feels like they're in shape, we just start playing football. We start playing. The amount of people that are fighting about whether football is back or football is not back, we just wouldn't have that problem anymore. Football would just be bad.

16:41PFT Commenter:But would you have to wait for everyone to get in shape? Because then we might not have football because the Bucs fat guy.

16:46Big Cat:Bucs fat guy can't play. You're not in shape. You can't play. During the games, they have to walk around the field with the fat suit on. There's definitely – the thought crossed Mike McDaniel's mind to do that exact thing. Yeah. It's like, let's just not do training. Let's just show up and be fast week one. Yeah. Yeah. That would be awesome. Tyreek Hill, you promised that you're going to behave yourself this summer. They all have to.

17:06PFT Commenter:Come at your fastest.

17:08Big Cat:Mm-hmm. That would weed out a lot of bad mentality players. Do you really love football? Exactly. Do you care enough about your teammates to stay in shape and stay out of trouble this summer? How would you pick a team?

17:20PFT Commenter:How would you make cuts?

17:21Big Cat:Vibes? You know, last year. Just go off of last year. Last year, I was like, just send us your most hype Instagram workout video. So you're just going no new friends. Nah. Yeah. No new friends. Or the guys that you draft that you believe are going to be good. But you get a sick edit of like a fifth string wide receiver doing some cone drills out on a field with like his high school quarterback. Yeah. And you're like, okay, I think we got our number two. He's in. He's in. Preseason injuries are bullshit. I know. They are. They are absolute bullshit. But I'm not overreacting to cell phone videos.

17:56Big Cat:Okay, fourth down. We're going to kick a field goal. Okay. Cam Little kicked a 70-yard field goal. 70-yarder. Will we see a 70-yarder in the NFL this season?

18:03PFT Commenter:We had two. We had Cam Little, 70-yarder, and then Ray Davis, running back for the Bills, kick a 25-yarder. Pretty cool. That was pretty cool. I love it when position players do that. Yeah. The Cam Little one was nuts. And it was good from like 75. It was pure. And that was some thick. Zach is our expert on this. That's some thick air. Jacksonville area?

18:21Big Cat:Very viscous there. Yeah. Very, yeah. It's hot, humid, heavy. Oh, heavy air. A little bit of meth smoke in the air, weighing the ball down. Certainly that. Not easy to kick in those conditions. It's the opposite of mile high. But it still went 70. 70. It did, yeah. And his teammates were so pumped for him. Yeah. That was the most exciting I saw any players in the preseason. It's like our kicker just drilled a 70-yarder. Very cool. Yeah, he nailed it. I mean, he should. I don't know how the Jaguars are going to do on fourth downs this year. Most coaches in the NFL, even if they know their kicker can hit a 70-yarder, they get to the 50-yard line.

18:55Big Cat:They just think all the most negative thoughts. They're like, well, what if he misses? What if it gets blocked? It gets returned? But, I mean, if you're drilling a 70-yarder, you should make a 60-yarder like it's almost a chip shot.

19:05PFT Commenter:What if we moneyballed this? What if you have a guy who can hit consistently 70-yarders? So what yard line is that from?

19:13Big Cat:You would kick that from – you'd get the ball to the 47-yard line. 47-yard line. All right, so let's say – Your own 47. Yeah, yeah.

19:19PFT Commenter:Let's just say for this thought experiment, let's say he can kick a 77-yarder consistently just every time he hits it. So you get the ball to your own 40. Do you think a team would be like, we don't need an offense? We will just draft all defense every year. We can run in a different defense, like, series to series. All we got to do is get the ball to the 40 and we'll just kick.

19:45Big Cat:Pretty much just hope the way that the return game's going, like just return the ball to the 35 or the 40 and then just kneel it out. Jumbo set. Jumbo set. Jumbo set.

19:58PFT Commenter:Run the ball and try to get 10 yards.

20:00Big Cat:Right up the middle. And then we'll kick. If you get three points per drive, I think you win most football.

20:04PFT Commenter:I think we just broke football. And also if you have a defense that is so good, you have two starting defenses that you can just rotate in.

20:10Big Cat:Then you get field position. So if you were to get an interception. Yeah. In your opponent's territory, do you then kick a field goal in first down? Yeah. I think so, too. Yeah.

20:20PFT Commenter:All right. We just broke football. Hank, what did you think about the Brady statue? Was it up to your liking? Yeah. I mean, I wish it was like, I don't know, 30 feet bigger. Did he light the lighthouse? What did you say? Did he light the lighthouse? No, they had the McCourty twins do it.

20:40Big Cat:But they just rang the bell. They didn't light the lighthouse. Well, yeah. that's that's the tradition yeah as we know uh but in terms of the statue did you i thought it was one of the better statues i think it's a good statue i think it's fierce i think i like you know his hands up his face looks good it's gonna you know in a good spot at the stadium where people walk in so it'll be good good photo op my my only complaint which i don't think is even realistic is like i just wish it was 40 feet tall yeah it was very lifelike they nailed the mobility yeah

21:12PFT Commenter:uh hank while we have you let's do halftime halftime entertainment jordan of the week uh have you seen the recent jordan's she has compared herself to taylor swift's publicist tree pain who is like well known as probably the best publicist that's my girl that's my goat yeah she is she's my goat as well she's the one who told the swifties come after me uh she basically was like no one everyone was loving Belichick's new media makeover and they didn't realize I was the one who was doing it until they found out who I was. Thoughts? I did not see that.

21:54We love Jorda on those podcasts. We love her. I would have to agree. I would have no choice but to agree.

22:01PFT Commenter:I have a question. Was that picture of Bill Belichick photoshopped in any way? i mean there's no way you're coming at a guy for having man tits right whoa whoa whoa i didn't i asked the question why did you jump to that you don't even know what picture i'm talking about i do know what picture you're talking about okay explain the picture and yes man breasts happen okay some some of the tony soprano what you say all the time oh bad angle blah blah blah well I'm just asking a question. Was that Photoshop? I'm actually on your side here, Hank. I saw it and was like, there's no way that's real. Is there no way that's real?

22:41Big Cat:I think it was the shirt. It was kind of a Heather Gray, so it really outlined the shadows.

22:46PFT Commenter:Okay.

22:46Big Cat:It did look like he's wearing a bra. Because they had me barking.

22:52PFT Commenter:He's a barrel chest and beast. Barrel chest, that's a strong man. That's something that we used to look up to in society. We've gone away from that. Yeah. Did you guys see the picture, Max? Everyone saw the picture barking. You seeing it? Oh, Zach, give us your instant reaction. Zach's seeing you for the first time right now. Bill Belichick.

23:12Big Cat:He's got some heavies.

23:13PFT Commenter:He's got some heavies. And again, I'm not judging Hank because I do also have heavies. So it would be crazy for me to judge someone else's heavies.

23:23Big Cat:I just asked if it was real or not. If I'm making a guess, I'm leaning towards C-cups here. We just got to get him some Spanx. I'd grab him. That always works.

23:35PFT Commenter:Yeah. Some Spanx would be good. This is probably... Max, I bought some new Spanx, by the way. I saw... Put me on. I'll let you know when they come. The advertising got me so perfectly. It was so hideous, the dude that they use as their model. I was like, they must work. He looked like a Lego piece. he was just a box it's just a box of a man those are yeah you're right hank those are that's the angle that's our pft that's the angle it's the a is the the shade of gray in the t-shirt it could

24:05Big Cat:also be jordan being jordan yeah this is how she earns her money doing pr it's like oh everyone's talking about the negatives with bill belichick right now he's got this young beauty queen girlfriend who's really really attractive and very smart and we don't want to be drawing the attention away from bill bill let's send you out there with a couple of softballs 16 inch softballs inside a sports bra, then people will start the conversation of, like, is Bill Belichick hot? Yeah. Like, would you fuck Bill Belichick? I would.

24:30PFT Commenter:Those heavies. Yeah. Max? I think he just became twice as fuckable. Max, as a guy who doesn't like titty fucking?

24:37Big Cat:I mean, those are beasts.

24:39PFT Commenter:Those would get the job done, wouldn't they?

24:40Big Cat:I also have man titties, though, so it's fine. Right.

24:45PFT Commenter:So we can speak from a place of love.

24:50Big Cat:It's also the way his arms are. Like, he's pushing him out.

24:54PFT Commenter:What I've been noticing is that my move has been arm on the table. Like, if you can get a chair or arm on the table, and you kind of, like, put your arm almost in front of you.

25:05Big Cat:You're talking about the sorority skinny arm.

25:06PFT Commenter:No, because that's on the side of the hip. I'm talking about literally, like, because when you have your arm in front of you like that, it almost flattens your chest a little.

25:16Big Cat:It's the same arm. Belichick should do one of those sorority dance videos with the UNC football team.

25:22PFT Commenter:No, because the sorority girl arm is on your hip and it pops the tits. I'm talking about forward so it almost like caves in the tits. I'm talking about mostly just the arm. Yeah, yeah.

25:33Big Cat:The skinny arm.

25:33PFT Commenter:Yeah, but the skinny arm also acts as a pop for the tits. Yeah. But I'm trying to go the other way. They know what they're doing. Yeah. Okay, that was halftime entertainment. Do you want to talk some - I got more Patriots for Hank. Okay. Mike Vrabel, the dude.

25:49Big Cat:I think Patriots are back, Hank. Oh, he was in the – that happened when we were – He got in a brawl at training camp, dove into the pile, and cut his face up pretty good. And then first play from scrimmage, Travion Henderson. I think he's a great running back, Hank. I think he got a good one. I think we're going to be the best team on this podcast. I don't know if I've said that yet. No, that's a heavy thing to say.

26:15PFT Commenter:Heavier than Bill Belichick's chest. Yeah. Okay, so that's the two teams that were in the NFC Championship last year. I'll give you the Bears and Jets. That's not really a bold statement. The Bucs are pretty fucking good. So you're saying you're going to be better than the Bucs, the Eagles, and the Commanders. Wow. And the Bears. Yeah, I know. Again, that's not going crazy.

26:42Big Cat:Because I was watching this game, Hank. You know what I thought? What? Super Bowl preview. that would be people forget that hank owes me 30 000 if the patriots don't make the super bowl this year next but i like our chances now yeah you want to double it no no i don't i'm gonna obfc my life a couple years we're just gonna have to we're just gonna have the long drive forever you know what's crazy though is you guys can't beat the nfc east in the super bowl we beat the eagles that was a long time ago okay but we long time ago mike variable mike has beaten the nfc east in the super bowl okay that's that's a fair point but that was a long time ago point for point that was a long time ago point for point do we have any other uh football

27:31PFT Commenter:that we want to talk about i have a couple takes that i wanted to throw out there that just be like hey i'm not i'm not trying to i'm not trying to ruffle any feathers but i got to take Okay. And one's football, one's baseball. Two baseball, actually. You ready for them? Uh-huh. All right. So this is just all due respect. I'm doing an all due respect segment. All due respect. Virginia McCaskey passed away. All due respect. The patch is too big. Did you guys see the patch? I did not see that, no. Pull up the patch. Now, I know what they're doing. They're doing the same patch that they did for her father, George Halas, when he died.

28:06PFT Commenter:So it's the same size. The problem is those uniforms back then, 30 years ago, the pads were bigger. The uniforms were bigger. The patch didn't take up as much real estate. This patch is too big. And it's a fine patch. It's too big. It's got to be like 50 % as big. It's pretty big. Look how big that is. Yeah, the M is huge. Don't you guys agree? All due respect. All due respect. Too big of a patch. Why not a helmet sticker? Because they wanted to do the same thing as the George House one. Yeah. Which I get, but all due respect, let's do the thing where someone's like, every retweet I get, I make this 10 % bigger.

28:45PFT Commenter:Let's just every game make it 10 % smaller and no one will notice.

28:48Big Cat:Yeah, it's giant. It draws the eyes.

28:51PFT Commenter:It's too big. It's way too big. Because the uniforms are just a lot tighter than they were 40 years ago. So, yeah. Yeah, we got to do something about this patch. The patch is, all due respect. It's the M, too. All due respect, guys. The patch is so big and so kind of in your face that I wish she was still alive. All due respect, because then we wouldn't have the patch. Right? Yeah. That's good math. All right, here's my other all due respect. All due respect, shout out the woman ump.

29:23Big Cat:Yep. All due respect. All due respect, what was her name, Powell? She's an ump. She did okay, right? The first strike was -

29:30PFT Commenter:First strike was very funny. You got to - But she also - Jen Powell. Jen Powell. This is one of those things that all the umps suck. She kind of was like, hey, I'm just part of the club now. Better than Angel Hernandez. Yeah.

29:42Big Cat:At least, right?

29:43PFT Commenter:But it was very funny. She wanted the first pitch to be a strike so bad that no matter where it was going to be, she was calling a strike.

29:50Big Cat:It's kind of shocking that it took this long, right? Yeah. Because there have been...

29:55PFT Commenter:Female NFL refs, NBA refs. Yeah. I don't know if hockey...

30:00Big Cat:But it's kind of also mean to celebrate this. I understand why, because it's obviously something that's never happened before. But also, we're celebrating somebody that's being put in a position to get all the hate in the world. Yeah, we're going to hate your guts, Jen. No matter what gender you are, we're going to hate you. And if you're a female umpire, you're going to deal with the same shit that the Hernandez's and the Wests of the world got.

30:23PFT Commenter:Right. That's why I loved her first strike call. Yeah. Because it was bad. And it was like, all right, she's perfect. Yep. She passed the test. That hat is in the Hall of Fame now. Is it? It is, yeah. Oh, damn. And then the other all due respect was the kid ump. I'm just – if people have not seen it, the Cubs Cardinals series this weekend, there's been a kid ump in, I don't know, the second or third row, and he wants to be – he's a kid. I'm not going to go against a kid. I'm going to go against his parents because the kid wants to be an ump. He's 13 years old. He's been doing balls and strikes, home run calls, everything during the game.

30:59PFT Commenter:I don't like these parents.

31:00Big Cat:So the kid's obviously very passionate about umpiring, which is an interesting thing to be into. Whatever. I'm not going to judge your interests as a kid. I blame mostly just the TV producers for putting them on too much. That's true. This should be a once a game look-in. It should also have been one game. Yeah, yeah.

31:16PFT Commenter:Friday night he was there, and I was like, okay, all right, one time. Yeah. And then it just kept on happening. I was like, kid, I'm still there. This is too much.

31:24Big Cat:Right. Like, if they just cut to him after a home run and he made the home run motion and then they never cut back to him again, everybody would be like, this kid ump is awesome. That was so funny.

31:32PFT Commenter:It also made me think, so I guess there is some positive to come from kid ump. Why doesn't the Little League World Series have kid umps? Because that would be so funny. Because they get the best of the best. They do get the best of the best. I know that for a fact. But how funny would that be?

31:45Big Cat:If it was just kids umping kids. And then they're yelling at the kids. Yeah. And then the coaches come out and kick dirt on the kids' shoes. Kids should be allowed to yell at the kids.

31:53PFT Commenter:Yeah. Like the umps should be able to yell and kick kids out and kids should be able to yell at the umps. I think the Little League World Series should have kid umps. Kid managers, too. Kid managers would rock. Kid announcers. Yeah. Why not? Have it just be kids everywhere. Pretty good. Okay. Where do we want to go to next? Do we want to go to the golf, Hank?

32:14PFT Commenter:Hank's going to unmute. You want to go to the golf? Yeah, we can. Did you watch? Oh, you didn't see it. I was at a wake. No, I did not watch. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I did not. I, I, there was multiple playoff holes. So I thought maybe you'd seen one of the playoff holes. Tommy Fleetwood is, I think I love him now because it's rare that we have like just a good old bonafide, old fashioned bonafide choker.

32:40Big Cat:And that's all he is. And he choked by, by going 69 Saturday, 69 Sunday.

32:45PFT Commenter:And, but that putt on 17, but like, think about it. We obviously in sports media will say someone's a choker. Even, you know, Conor McDavid's a choker. He plays a team sport. Tommy Fleetwood seems like the nicest guy in the world. And he's just a choker. That's just all he is.

33:02Big Cat:He can't win the normal one. He can't win a one. He can't win a one. And I think it's better that Scheffler didn't chase him down and beat him because everyone thought that was what was going to happen over the course of the weekend. So I think it's less sad for him that he didn't get just came back on by the best player in the world.

33:19PFT Commenter:Yeah, I saw someone had, I wish I had saved the tweet, but someone was like, Scotty Scheffler stalking Tommy Fleetwood is like one of those fucked up National Geographic shows where the lion goes after the hurt antelope. Yeah. And you just know how it's going to end.

33:36Big Cat:Well, it was like, yeah, it was the lions going after the injured little Cape buffalo. Yeah. And then all the other buffalo came around to protect its child from the lions. They fought off the lions, and then the baby still died of its injuries, and then one of the buffaloes survived.

33:51PFT Commenter:Do you think it's worse, though? I guess it's probably better that Justin Rose is one of his best friends. No, I think it's probably worse. Yeah. Give us the try my hardest.

34:00Big Cat:I just tried my hardest. Just try my hardest. It's a very difficult haul.

34:05PFT Commenter:Classy move by Tommy Fleetwood to do the media. Rory could learn something from him. He definitely could. He did during the playoff hole, which was gut-wrenching. And yeah, I partly feel bad for him and partly just love the fact that we have just a choke guy. Let's see. What were his earnings this year? So when I said poor Tommy Fleetwood, people were like, why would I feel bad for him? He makes millions. You can still have some compassion because he's a nice guy. Yeah. And he is trying his hardest. And it's clearly consuming him because that putt on 17 was as choke as choke putt could get.

34:42Big Cat:Yep. So his earnings this year, this is according to AI, so who knows if it's true or not, it says that he's earned$6.4 million in 16 tournaments this year. Yeah, that's pretty good. So it's pretty good. Golf is just such a funny sport because you can play. Objectively, he's a great golfer. Yeah. He's an amazing golfer, one of the best in the world. and just by not winning you can still be making a fuckload of money.

35:05PFT Commenter:And the worst part is he's probably going to kick our teeth in in the Ryder Cup. That would. Because he does do well in the Ryder Cup when it's the team set up. Yeah. He doesn't have to be a lone guy just trying me hardest.

35:17Big Cat:I just tried me hardest out there. It's a very tough location today. I mix it up. It goes to Australia real quick. I just tried me hardest. So he earned 34. I got him at$34.9 million, and last year was his second best year. He got$28.9 million. Wait, he made$28.9 million last year? Last year, and then this year,$34.9 million.

35:41PFT Commenter:That's what he made this year, Tommy Fleetwood?

35:43Big Cat:$34.9 million. You just said$6 million.

35:44PFT Commenter:You just said$6 million.

35:46Big Cat:Is that his career earnings? I'm sorry. Cumulative. That's cumulative. Yeah.

35:49PFT Commenter:I was going to say, holy shit. I was like, I do not feel bad for him if he made$28 million.

35:53Big Cat:No, that's his cumulative earnings. Actually, his best year was 2023 where he made 12 mil.

35:58PFT Commenter:It's actually impressive. I guess if we're going to spin zone for Tommy Fleetwood, he's going to be the richest golfer to never win anything. That's a great title to have. Right? Yeah. Yeah, but he's won on the DP Tour. Well, that doesn't count. He's won the Router Cup. Okay, that's a team. He's not won on the PGA Tour. No. What does the DP Tour even stand for? Double penetration. is the european he's european but what does it stand for dude perfect european dan patrick what do we think the dp world tour stands for it's what does it say it's got to stand for something does it not used to be the european tour now it's the dp tour oh is it just the the sponsor well i mean i need an answer for this for sponsorship All right.

36:52PFT Commenter:Currently titled as a DP World Tour for sponsorship reasons. So what the fuck is DP? I see Dubai Ports possibly. Dubai Ports? Dubai Ports. Double penetration? That's a different tour. Display pictures. Nope. Okay. DP Tour. What does the DP and DP World Tour stand for? Do you think it doesn't stand for anything?

37:19Big Cat:I think this is a company, DP World.

37:23PFT Commenter:Oh. Okay, here it is. Oh. There we go. So it's the DP World Tour. Tour is the only thing that Europe is putting into this equipment.

37:33Big Cat:Yeah, you would think that World Tour is part of it, but it's not. It's DP World.

37:37PFT Commenter:DP World. The Tour. Multinational logistics. Wait, go back to that. Logistics company based in Dubai. Does anyone understand logistics? I think logistics is solutions

37:49Big Cat:Logical

37:51PFT Commenter:Don't mess with my dots Was that next though?

37:55Big Cat:I think it's innovative solutions For a fast paced world

37:59PFT Commenter:Okay Alright so they move boats around and shit Probably

38:04Big Cat:Logistics services Oh it's logistics services Not just logistics Port services, marine services, free zones

38:13PFT Commenter:Alright Do we want to talk a little baseball? Let's talk some seam We should start with Mariano Rivera Tearing his Achilles at the old timers day game Which is so brutal

38:23Big Cat:That's a bad sign for the Yankees Very bad sign for the Yankees And maybe not the biggest Yankees news to come out of this weekend No Are we going to talk about Aaron Boone getting ejected again? Oh no Are we talking about the widest news?

38:36PFT Commenter:The widest news

38:38Big Cat:Of the weekend

38:39PFT Commenter:Johnny Damon Which It is Max I don't know what to say.

38:46Big Cat:It is a shocking picture of Johnny Damon.

38:48PFT Commenter:It's a shocking, shocking picture of Johnny Damon.

38:50Big Cat:The pinstripes do nothing.

38:52PFT Commenter:I don't understand. He's got to keep the beard. You can't shave the beard.

38:58Big Cat:That's the Yankee rule, though. Not anymore. I know. I know, but when he joined the Yankees, he famously had to do that, trim everything up. But now that they've relaxed that, Johnny needs to know that.

39:10PFT Commenter:Yeah. Max, how many – does your phone just blow up?

39:14Big Cat:I have never had more mentions for anything ever in my life. Like, the Super Bowl was a fraction of the amount of mentions that I had when this Johnny Damon picture came up. It was never ending. It was ten full hours yesterday of, like, I had Twitter up on my phone and it was just constantly refreshing of just people tagging me in it, thinking that I hadn't seen it.

39:39PFT Commenter:Yeah. And then, obviously, when you face swap it, memes didn't even need to. But the face swap was great. Because it is. It's just you. You're a Yankee. You're a Yankee today, Yankee forever.

39:53Big Cat:I think it looks good, to be honest.

39:55PFT Commenter:Yeah? Yep. Do you think he wakes up and thinks he looks good? Probably. Yeah. I mean, it's so good.

40:02Big Cat:It really is. It's just you. Really, all you did was just add eyebrows. Yeah. Just like stick your eyebrows to it, and now it smacks.

40:08PFT Commenter:You put this in the YouTube.

40:10Big Cat:Oh, my God. It was so funny. It is the best baseball picture of the year. Picture of the year.

40:15PFT Commenter:The best part was, Max, I saw it because shout out Hubs, our coworker, who's a big Yankees guy. The guy who took the picture, Chris Kirshner, who I think is a Yankees beat reporter, literally texted Hubs and was like, I just took this picture and it looks exactly like Max. Oh, I didn't know that that was the case. That's funny.

40:37Big Cat:I mean, yeah, it's a shocking picture.

40:41PFT Commenter:It's so funny.

40:42Big Cat:When I first looked at it, I mean, I think everyone had the same thought. When I first looked at it, I thought it was just a face swap.

40:47PFT Commenter:I thought he had just done that.

40:50Big Cat:I was like, okay, here's another one. Then I looked at it closely. I was like, holy shit, this isn't me.

40:55PFT Commenter:Oh, man. Has Johnny addressed the picture yet? I don't think so. I don't think Johnny has social media. Does he?

41:01Big Cat:Oh, yeah. A guy like Johnny, definitely. he's a what was it was he was he had a uh dui arrest video right he's a big time dui guy just hanging out uh he has not addressed it on social media his his picture on social on uh twitter x the everything app this doesn't it's all happening it's a different guy that's a different guy in that picture as opposed to this one yeah i don't know it's

41:26PFT Commenter:so fucking funny he's got eight kids and by the way the yankees are as as the yankees the Mets are basically racing to the bottom right now. They both are since June 13th. The Mets are 18 and 31 and the Yankees are 20 and 31. Pretty bad. Pretty bad times for baseball in New York. And the Brewers never lose. Oh, that's a that's that picture's from 20 years ago.

41:52PFT Commenter:That's very funny. Yeah, the Brewers literally never lose. And they got guys pulling fucking Charizard cards now, too.

41:59Big Cat:It's crazy. Yeah, I saw that. it would explain the charizard card to me zach how valuable is that card uh if it's a first generation very valuable hundreds like hundreds of thousands of dollars yeah and biz mizraski he's the one that drew it yeah the rookie pitcher yeah what are the odds of you getting that card in a pack it's incredibly slim not only just because there's not the the packs were made so long ago also like guys are guys are resealing packs and selling them so like yeah you gotta I just hope you got an okay pack to begin with.

42:28PFT Commenter:I inquired about buying a pack because our good friend Nick Turrani really wants a Charizard, so I was like, oh, that'd be funny if I got it before him. A pack of 10 cards. Or no, maybe eight cards? Eight in a pack? I believe so, yes. Eight cards, PFT. How much do you think a pack of eight cards is? And this is obviously no guarantee that you're getting the Charizard.

42:49Big Cat:I don't know how much the other non-Charizard cards are worth. No, no, no.

42:53PFT Commenter:Like, to purchase the pack.

42:55Big Cat:I know, so I'm trying to estimate how much that pack would be. Like, if I just pull a random, like a mid-Pokemon, Zach, what's, like, all the other cards that were in his pack, what are those? But that doesn't matter. It's people just going for the Charizard. I mean, some cards can just be worth, like, pennies on dollar. Yeah. Okay. So, I'll guess, like, four grand? $8 ,000. $8 ,000?

43:16PFT Commenter:$1 ,000 a card, and they could all mean nothing.

43:18Big Cat:That's crazy.

43:19PFT Commenter:I was like, I can't.

43:20Big Cat:This is crazy. Is that the best card? That is the best card. Yeah, that's the Charizard. Ultimate Chase. Not the Pikachu? No. Why not? Isn't Pikachu the good guy? Pikachu's a great right-hand man, but Charizard's a chase. What about Charmander? Charmander de-evolution of Charizard. This is the baby Charizard. He's in the family lineage. Okay. Would that be a Charizard rookie card? Would it be a Charmander? It would be like adolescent Charizard, just earlier in life. Less than rookie season. Top prospect card. Because first generation would be his rookie unveiling. There's other Charizards among the seasons.

44:00Big Cat:Yeah. The first edition would be the rookie, pretty much.

44:04PFT Commenter:I'm seeing one right now for$140 ,000. Do they have autographed Charizard cards?

44:09Big Cat:I don't believe so.

44:10PFT Commenter:I don't think Charizard autographed. No. He was notorious for that.

44:15Big Cat:He said you should be asking teachers and firemen for autographs, not dinosaurs. He knows his worth, and he's like, I'm not doing this. Okay.

44:24PFT Commenter:Also, just shout out Paul Skeens because he's insane. He has a 1.94 ERA. It's crazy. 7 and 8. Yep. It's fucked up.

44:33Big Cat:Yeah, I love the people that are pointing. I like that win-loss is starting to come back a little bit. Yeah. People would be like, dude, this guy, he's only got seven wins, and you think he's the best pitcher in baseball? I mean, yeah. Yeah.

44:44PFT Commenter:Yeah. I kind of like that. I kind of like how RBIs are coming back a little bit, too. RBIs are fun. They are. it obviously means a lot about who's around you in the lineup but it's still fun you're you're

44:55Big Cat:never going to get the rbi off the main line when somebody talks about a batter stats that's there for life i don't care how how meaningless you prove it to be if you're talking about like ops x slash yeah that's never that's never coming on that graphic at the bottom of the screen when a

47:09Big Cat:oh what do you do signed a multi-year extension back with the celtics they should just give him a job for life

47:16PFT Commenter:but he's at least back the next few years do we know how many years multi-years multi-year through the rebuild yep that was smart to actually do that being like because you know it's not going to be good next year yeah the tweet from the celtics just said a multi-year extension okay multi-year good for him that's a lot of years or it could be a only a few years could be but

47:37Big Cat:It's more than one year.

47:38PFT Commenter:Hopefully it's a lot of years for him. Yeah, hopefully it's forever. Okay, good. Who's back, Hank? Did you guys see Paul George at the club?

47:47Big Cat:I did not see Paul George at the club.

47:49PFT Commenter:Did you guys – Did you saw Paul George at the club? Can you pull it up? You saw it, Hank? I did. Paul George at the club? I saw him at the bank. He looked good. Well, he looked okay. Paul George was at the club. He was a good fit. Paul George was waiting in line at the club, and if you zoom in, he's got the knee brace on.

48:08Big Cat:Yeah, that's being responsible. Sixer. That's being responsible.

48:13PFT Commenter:It's still a funny look. If he's supposed to be wearing a knee brace. You've got to admit that's a funny look.

48:17Big Cat:It would be worse if he was at the club without the knee brace if he needs to be wearing the knee brace. Fact or fiction.

48:22PFT Commenter:You've got to admit it's a funny picture. I'm so glad I saw this picture.

48:25Big Cat:And it's a great fit. Look at that fit. Fire-ass fit. You couldn't pull that fit off. No, I couldn't. Oh, I could. It's a great look. I woke up like this. You could probably pull it off.

48:37PFT Commenter:Okay, yeah, that's Paul George's club.

48:39Big Cat:I mean, if he's wearing the knee brace, he doesn't give a fuck. He's just like, yeah, people are going to say whatever. I'm injured. What do you want me to do? Listen. I'd rather him wear that to the club than him not wear it to the club and walk out with an ACL.

48:50PFT Commenter:There's a different – there's another path here. No. That's fair.

48:56Big Cat:I thought you were going to say not going to the club. Oh, pants. It was probably hot. Pants are real easy. Pants are super easy. You know what he's trying to do? Let's just normalize all athletes wearing double knee braces to the club all the time, like offensive linemen. Yeah, maybe some shooting sleeves to the club. Yeah, just in case somebody falls into you, you get rolled up on at the club, you're not going to hurt anything. Okay, PFD or Who's Back of the Week? I got two Who's Backs. First is MGK. Oh. MGK dropped an album on Friday. It's good. I hate how much I like MGK's music. He does have some good songs.

49:30Big Cat:I really dislike how much I respect MGK as an artist. I got into a fight with the youngins here recently because I said that MGK's got bangers, and they just said I was... No, he objectively has bangers. Yeah, I agree. He's got good songs. What's that face, Hank? What's up with that person? Yeah, no, Hank's probably one of the haters. We could get roasted for that. His halftime performance at the Cavs game. That's pre-evolution of MGK. Mm-hmm. that's not the current mgk he was in the crystal and then killed mgk and then he had to come back yeah he's also like he just switched genres and he's better at the other genre yeah yeah he's not a fan he's a a pretty good pop punk musician and songwriter like actually very good yeah so i i've been listening to his album all weekend and every time i i like embarrassed i'm embarrassed by it and i need to get over it oh fuck i'll be rolling up to a stop sign and i'm blasting the shit out of MGK and then I like look around and I roll my windows up I'm like I can't but now you know what I'm out gatekeeping music is the worst I'm out I'm officially I'm coming out I'm an MGK fan we should actually do the Mount Rushmore of worst gatekeepers yeah music gatekeepers are my least

50:42PFT Commenter:favorite because like music is the most subjective yeah you like what you like I like I like MGK I'm

50:49Big Cat:proud to say it's fuck this MGK pride month I haven't listened to the new album you're gonna have to give me like a spark notes of which one of which ones i should sing one of the songs please uh so boring pretty good why they make it look so fucked up here in stories oh there's a song i want something else to get me through this that's actually the chorus of one of the songs and i was listening to it i was like i was like this motherfucker just took a chorus from another song uh but anyways he's good my other who's back of the week is fatherhood oh yeah i had it as well fatherhood's back yeah for a while fatherhood was kind of a thing that people were afraid to talk about much like being an mgk fan um but on thursday anna lulis tweeted out pro-life nfl legend team tim tebow shares a video holding his baby girl while working humanizing fatherhood get married have kids and uh it's got 32 million impressions on it right now first of all referring to tim tebow as an nfl legend great troll bait great troll absolutely great troll bait but i never thought like okay fathers are humans until i saw tim tebow nfl legend working while also holding his child yeah it's and by working i mean he was looking at a laptop he was looking at his

52:05PFT Commenter:laptop he was getting screen time he was looking at his laptop uh of course they're gonna politicize tim tebow having a kid is that is that politics i don't know well the whole have kids part yeah I have kids maybe. Yeah. But it was just so funny because that baby is, I don't know, two months old. That's like the easiest time to look after your kid. They can't go anywhere.

52:26Big Cat:Yeah. Yeah. Man. I respect Tim Tebow for the fact that he was like the poster child for virginity. Yeah. And now he's the poster child for having sex.

52:37PFT Commenter:I've never seen a father hold their child and scroll their computer. This guy's a dual threat. It's crazy. It's crazy. Okay. my who's back so I had fatherhood as well Tim Tebow never been done look at this you guys were going to see this video be like that's it that's all he's doing he's holding his kid he's bouncing his newborn baby while clicking on a mouse while not paying attention to his baby yeah but it's also that that baby does not need attention paid because they're a baby that just

53:06Big Cat:sleeps all day he's kind of carrying it like a loaf of bread I'd like to see more security a little more head security

53:11PFT Commenter:okay my who's back of the week is dumb bets because we're getting right close to college football season we got two of them guys we got two of them the first is uh paul feinbaum paul feinbaum said that if an sec team doesn't win the national championship he uh will leave the country okay i think he's gonna use a loophole here and just like leave for vacation after the season leave god's country i don't know but that

53:39Big Cat:was what he said so we got to hold him to it yeah um i listen if you get mad at paul feinbaum at this point and you don't understand that you're just playing into the wwe act of paul feinbaum the joke's on you 100 if you're a big 10 fan that's actually mad at paul feinbaum be like i fucking hate that guy first of all i love you because you're what makes sports fun and college football and continue to do that please for my own satisfaction but you got to be smarter in the year 2025 to be able to fall for paul feinbaum's trap it just you got to be better here's what paul

54:11PFT Commenter:feinbaum's gonna do if ohio state wins if oregon with penn state wins if someone else wins clemson uh paul feinbaum's gonna take a picture from italy uh in the end of january and be like see promises made promises delivered i i left the country i'm on vacation i'm in palermo yeah paying my bet yeah uh all right and the other one this one so uh a twitter account called the Raider hub Texas tech fans said this is this is a great time of year because we talked about it with Justin Fields and how you get excited about uh preseason football so the Raider hub said there's a legitimate possibility that Texas tech could leave Salt Lake City 4-0 and be the number one ranked team in the country uh talking about the upcoming season uh and then it was quote treated by CFB Fight Club saying if Texas tech is ranked number one at any point this season I will shove a five-layer burrito up my ass.

55:02PFT Commenter:So we have another five-layer burrito. I like it. And then I was like, am I just, like, why do I even care about this guy? But guess what? CFB Fight Club, you earned a follow because I went and clicked on your page, and it says interactive place to talk all the trash you want on each other's school. Love that. Year-round account dedicated to college football. It's like Yik Yak? Yeah, it's Smoot. It's Smoot. Yeah. Smoot Talk. Smoot Talk. So, yeah, he just talks shit about every college football team. I'm in on it.

55:28Big Cat:That's good stuff. somebody reminded me a couple weeks ago the fact that I said when Greg Sciano was announced as the head coach of Rutgers because he said we're going to be ranked number one at some point I said if Rutgers is ever ranked number one in football I will cut my penis off but I feel good about that bet actually I still think that that's one that I'm going to be on the winning side of it has to be with Greg Sciano I don't know how I phrased it I might be okay with just saying for the rest of the time until the day I die

55:57PFT Commenter:Because they did win the first national championship.

55:59Big Cat:They did. And don't get me wrong. Love Rutgers, James Gandolfini, great school. And a birthplace of college football. They invented the sport. Yep. Piscataway is magical on a Saturday in early September. Yep. But I feel like my penis is safe.

56:14PFT Commenter:I would say so. Yeah. But that's a good bet to at least have out there.

56:18Big Cat:Okay.

56:20PFT Commenter:Oh, I've got who's back as well. My who's back of the week. Oh, that reminded me. Someone tweeted me. there was a discussion that I said that if we ever wrote a book, I'd put a free browser's password in the book. I will do that. So that's another bet. Okay. I will make sure that, you know what? I'm going to say 10 browser's passwords in the book that we sell.

56:39Big Cat:Is that one per book or 10 in each book? No, no, there's 10 have to claim. First 10.

56:42PFT Commenter:Whoever gets the book first can get their free browser's password.

56:49Big Cat:Okay.

56:49PFT Commenter:Go ahead,

56:49Big Cat:Zach. My who's back of the week is going to be our coworker, Michael Kadick, because I've had a blast watching him traverse the Jersey Shore here recently. Yes. He's going tarps off. He's protecting chicken fingers. I saw him in a drum line doing percussion bass drum at some point. Yep. He's busting dance moves that aren't in the bag of most big guys, and I just can't get enough of it. He's all the way back. Yeah. He's protecting chicken fingers?

57:15PFT Commenter:His actual chicken fingers.

57:16Big Cat:I love that. Yeah. They might have been personal, but they were protected. That's the way he does.

57:20PFT Commenter:The video of him just farting and the face he made. It was a two-year-old. It's pure joy. Yeah, pure joy of like, oh my God, I just made that out of my butt. And he just had these girls sitting around watching. Good who's back. No video games.

57:40Big Cat:Trying to broaden the horizons for you.

57:41PFT Commenter:What's happening in video games?

57:44Big Cat:Battlefield 6 beta came out this weekend. Are you going to be part of this video game crew?

57:49PFT Commenter:that Sass and Mook and Jerry have?

57:52Big Cat:They're doing an awesome thing. They're starting a Challengers team. So, like, Challengers is a step before you would have, like, a professional Call of Duty team. They're starting from the ground up on that. I wish them the best of luck in those endeavors. That's such an awesome thing to try to accomplish. Are they playing in it or are they just owning it? So they're starting the team looking for guys to play on the team.

58:11PFT Commenter:Okay. You're going to start your own streaming.

58:13Big Cat:They're in an ownership position.

58:14PFT Commenter:Which we have to do. Last week of August. Last week of August? We will be streaming. Zach, we'll be streaming. We might start with college football, and then we'll go off from there.

58:22Big Cat:We can rip streams. Yeah, yeah. I'm done with rip streams. Rip a stream.

58:26PFT Commenter:Okay. Good who's back, everyone. Let's do our Mount Rushmore, and then we get to Travis Pastrana. Mount Rushmore is brought to you by our friends at Chevy for over a century. Chevy has been building trucks that don't flinch and never quit, whether you're hauling lumber on the job or trying to get the smoker, the cooler, the cornhole boards, and the whole crew to the tailgate on time. Chevy gets you there. when Chevy says most dependable truck. They're not just speculating. Chevy trucks have earned more dependability awards for trucks than any other brand according to J.D.

59:45PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah. Okay, who goes first? I believe PFT and Hank. Okay. And then we're second? You're second.

59:56Big Cat:Me and Max third.

59:57PFT Commenter:We've been doing this at the same order every day, every week this summer, so I've got to ask. Still confused.

1:00:08PFT Commenter:are the same team.

1:00:09Big Cat:We're the same team, but I forget who's taking who's taking the lead. I think it's me. You got the rock, sir. Okay. So 1-1. Hank, do you think the second one on our list is good?

1:00:24Big Cat:I don't want to screw up 1-1. I don't know. That's a loaded question. I think it's a good choice. I trust you. I don't want to say yes to that. Whatever you want to pick, I'm down with. Playing golf every day. Okay. Play golf every day. Okay. I don't know why you even had any discussion there. That was obviously going to be your pick. It's a good pick. I don't know why Hank thought maybe not. Well, I just didn't want to, you know, it's obviously going to be my pick. I said it. I said it. Not your team. Yeah, no, no. Listen, I've played golf every day since Tuesday. It's kind of fun. Yeah. It's a good thing to do.

But you'd have to first not work. Right. That wouldn't be a problem for me. I feel like it would be more of a transition for you. Got it. Got it. That's what you're trying to say. Yeah. I mean, I'm talking about like, I'm not talking about tomorrow. We're talking about when we get old. True. You're talking about tomorrow. Yeah, I'm old. Okay.

1:02:05Big Cat:I think those were the clear one. First two picks there.

1:02:10PFT Commenter:You guys okay in there?

1:02:12Big Cat:Yeah.

1:02:13PFT Commenter:They tried to come at me for me and Zach for saying not work. That's a – you guys had that. Yeah.

1:02:20Big Cat:Those were the clear one and two picks. Yeah. You guys were having a little meeting in a dark room before this podcast. Yeah, no. This is a thin rush. This is a tough rush. Oh, we went deep. Enjoyed this one.

1:02:33PFT Commenter:We enjoyed the hell out of this one.

1:02:35Big Cat:I think this is a real tough one.

1:02:37PFT Commenter:Oh, I think it's wide open.

1:02:41Big Cat:We are going to say moving to good weather. Okay. You can't golf every day if the weather's not nice. Okay.

1:02:48PFT Commenter:Cool.

1:02:49Big Cat:And we're going to follow that up with. Is this the right way to word this?

1:02:56PFT Commenter:I don't know how.

1:02:58Big Cat:No, this one we struggled with a lot. Okay.

1:03:03PFT Commenter:Is that the right way? Okay.

1:03:04Big Cat:I don't know if that's the right way to say it. Okay.

1:03:10Big Cat:What about that? Is that better?

1:03:14Big Cat:This is a piece of jazz. Jesus Christ. I mean, you guys, we are the only ones who don't do the, I think I'm going to take four, 15. Yeah, because we're the, no, hold on. Time out, time out, time out.

1:03:28PFT Commenter:Max, do you think maybe that's because you're the only team that sits next to each other? No, because I just make the decisions. We don't sit next to each other. You're literally doing that by saying this one, this one.

1:03:43Big Cat:Hank is at a funeral. I've had to try to text with him, and now we're communicating for the first time. But, like, the first time ever that I'm fucking doing it, you guys bitch about it. So we don't do that. What are you talking about?

1:03:54PFT Commenter:Okay. I lost your face. Our system is one person has the ball. That's the whole system. You fucking idiot.

1:04:02Big Cat:Do you do the 2, 15, 18, 19, 24? What? You just say the 2, 6, 9, 12, 17, 17. I think it's actually going to be 15. I said, do you want to do the second one on the list? I know. That's what you guys do every time. This is the first time that there was any delay. We don't. Me and Big Cat used to do that. This is a unique circumstance because I'm fucking home for a funeral. I get that.

1:04:29PFT Commenter:I think you forgot the funeral part.

1:04:31Big Cat:Okay. Whatever. We're going to say. Oh, no. Saying whatever you want and not giving a fuck That's what we're saying It's a good pick

1:04:42PFT Commenter:Do you think we can take four Off that or no

1:04:47Big Cat:I think those are separate Right One is an attitude one is an act So what were your two picks It was moving to good weather And saying whatever you want and not giving a fuck Got it

1:05:00PFT Commenter:Or do we take two

1:05:02Big Cat:Two is great as well But do we just avoid the – do we avoid possibly being – do we avoid one being null and void by just taking two instead of taking four?

1:05:13PFT Commenter:Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Okay, yeah, yeah. We're going to take napping. Just napping all the time.

1:05:20Big Cat:We just had sleep. Like, you can just wake up whenever you want. You can nap whenever you want. That's a good pick.

1:05:26PFT Commenter:Good pick. Does your – so should we ask if that pick would have been even –

1:05:31Big Cat:Do we take it –

1:05:32PFT Commenter:No, okay, all right, yeah. Yeah, we'll go with napping. We have something that's similar to what you said, so we'd know how it was going to get ruled. It'll probably be honorable mention.

1:05:41Big Cat:I mean, memes turned to me after you said it said, can we say retire? And I was like, that's the same thing. It's not working.

1:05:53PFT Commenter:You're not working. My next pick is trying to get my handicap lower.

1:06:02Big Cat:Okay. You guys have two. Okay, we're going to go with traveling. Traveling the world. Okay. Going on lots of sick vacations whenever you want. I feel like traveling is harder when you're older, though. Yeah, it's tough. No, I'm not talking when you're like 95 years old. I'm talking you're like 65. You guys, see, this has to be elderly. This is a good pick. Because you guys are old. And so this has to be like old, old.

1:06:27PFT Commenter:Whoa, buddy. If we're old, you're in trouble. 10 years younger. Yeah, but you're in trouble Correct If we're old Correct You gotta be doing the opposite Telling us that we're still young We couldn't do this

1:06:41Big Cat:This is a wild objection

1:06:43PFT Commenter:Traveling the world when you're older I have a 27 year old on my team And he did a great job That's what everyone does

1:06:48Big Cat:When they're like We've all got so much more life to live He is an older soul for sure So much more life to live, guys All of us

1:06:56PFT Commenter:Wow

1:06:56Big Cat:Could you just throw him the big O at us You're saying like The big O You can't get around? It's impossible to travel when you're... No, it's a lot tougher. It is tougher. It is tougher. I also don't like traveling. I like traveling. Traveling's great. Checking off places on the bucket list. I love that. All right. Next up, we're going to go with never setting an alarm. Okay. Yeah, we have that. Yeah. Not setting an alarm. No alarms tomorrow. Going to bed. Just let nature take its course. Okay.

1:07:26PFT Commenter:We're going to go off here for our last two picks. Do you like 10? I love 10 But what's 10 gonna do to us? I think we gotta just be ourselves We make ourselves laugh We would like to take As a third pick Light shoplifting Light shoplifting Just a little bit of light shoplifting Some of it When you're old You can kind of just walk out with shit

1:07:50Big Cat:Oh I'm sorry Yeah

1:07:52PFT Commenter:And people aren't gonna get mad at you Like you can't You can't rob Yeah But you can walk out with You know Oh I didn't know I put the That candy bar in there? Oh, that soda? That's in my pocket? Whoops.

1:08:04Big Cat:I guess the days are just getting away from me.

1:08:06PFT Commenter:Light shoplifting. Do you guys like that pick? Little light shoplifting. I like that. Sure. It wasn't on our list. I think this is where we went a different place than you guys. Old people can get away with crimes for sure. Yeah.

1:08:20Big Cat:Okay. This one we're excited about. This one we're excited about.

1:08:25PFT Commenter:I'm excited that you're excited.

1:08:26Big Cat:We're going to do Becoming a Regular at a Restaurant.

1:08:29PFT Commenter:Yeah, okay. Add it on there.

1:08:31Big Cat:Just like going to the same either breakfast spot or like.

1:08:36PFT Commenter:Diner.

1:08:36Big Cat:Yeah. Going to the same diner. Diner every morning. They know you. They know your order. Just the same thing. Like that's going to be awesome. There's like a really cute like 30-year-old waitress that's really sweet to you. I'm excited for what Hank has to say here. Oh, Hank. How are you doing? Hank. I'm just curious what is stopping you from doing that now.

1:08:54PFT Commenter:Well, you can't. You have to work?

1:08:57Big Cat:You have to work. You don't go to restaurants? You have a lot of free time No I do not go to the same I don't have my every morning open to go to a diner every morning Well no you said restaurant Sure Hank would you say

1:09:13PFT Commenter:No you said restaurant

1:09:17PFT Commenter:No diner and restaurant I know what you guys are saying Hank would you say it would be stronger pick if it was diner Because you can't go to breakfast every morning when you're working

1:09:27Big Cat:I don't think we had it on our list I feel like I go to the same restaurants And diners all the time now

1:09:33PFT Commenter:Are you a regular?

1:09:35Big Cat:I'm not like regular regular So you're kind of proving their point I had it on our list I thought about just meeting people for breakfast Oh yeah I'm going to have a breakfast club Just hanging out with dudes You want to meet me for breakfast tomorrow I'll have a cup of coffee, some waffles And then going home and napping My grandparents went to the same diner for like 25 years And sat there for 4 hours every single day That's awesome.

1:09:57PFT Commenter:Yeah. That's awesome. Okay. And your last pick?

1:10:02Big Cat:This one. This. See, this one's kind of boring. But should we just say it? It is so boring, but I think we should say it. I might pivot. Pivot. No, no, no. Pivot. What's a pivot? I think I might pivot. No. Pivot. What's a pivot?

1:10:18PFT Commenter:Pivot. Have fun with it. Don't be boring. Getting super into an old person's game.

1:10:24Big Cat:Okay.

1:10:24PFT Commenter:Whether it's like. I like that.

1:10:26Big Cat:Whether it's a card game, a shuffleboard, or bingo, just getting super into one game that you only play once you get old enough.

1:10:37PFT Commenter:Paddle. I think we got to go with nine. We got nine. Nine is a pick. Yeah, yeah. I agree. Handicap parking. I can't wait to go to it if I get...

1:10:49Big Cat:Fuck, that's a good one. We looked it up.

1:10:51PFT Commenter:We looked up the law. It's if you can't walk unassisted 200 feet. So if you have like a cane, Walker, anything. Dude, those spots are so fucking good. That's a good one. They're so good. Primo spots. I always pass it. I'm like, I obviously don't want. I'm very thankful. To be able. To be able. But if you're old, that's a good deal. I remember my grandfather had it. It was a good deal. That's a very good pick. It was a good deal.

1:11:19Big Cat:That was on our list. I wish that was on our list. I got a little life hack for the people out there. Get injured in college. because having a handicapped parking permit, a temporary one on a college campus, is the best fucking thing that's ever happened to me in my life. It was awesome. You could just drive right up to your class like five minutes before and get out and just walk right in. Didn't have to worry about the big parking lots or anything like that. If you have like a broken foot or a broken leg in college, that is actually the best thing you can do. Yeah. Okay, your guys' last pick.

1:11:47Big Cat:Okay, our last pick. Hank, do you have a recommendation? Because if not, I've got one. I trust you, sir. Okay.

1:11:53PFT Commenter:So you guys tapped out on picks in the booth?

1:11:56Big Cat:No, we have a lot of picks. There's just a lot of bad ones. We got a ton on the board. I mean, don't do the Jesus one. That's a joke.

1:12:07PFT Commenter:We'll at least say it. Finding Jesus and devoting my life to him. All right. I actually was kind of thinking like I'm not a God guy, but I do think when people get older, they become more religious. Yeah, because you think like, what if? I can save myself, yeah. Okay, so for our last one, I'm going to go with pretending not to hear someone you don't want to talk to, regardless of who it is.

1:12:37Big Cat:Okay. If it's just a jerk that you don't like, if it's a police officer being like, hey, you can't park here.

1:12:42PFT Commenter:What if you actually can't hear him?

1:12:43Big Cat:But, yeah, you can do both. Okay. Not being able to hear him.

1:12:46PFT Commenter:If he's getting old, you would definitely not be able to hear him.

1:12:48Big Cat:Yeah, pretending, but you can get away with pretending not to hear people that you don't want to talk to.

1:12:52PFT Commenter:Yeah. Okay. I enjoyed that, Mount Rushmore. That was fun. We had a lot of honorable mentions. I'm surprised spoiling grandkids didn't make it. That's kind of boring. I asked my dad to do this. He gave me an entire list. It was just roasting the podcast.

1:13:07Big Cat:Yeah. Do you want me to read them or do you want to? Yeah, you got it.

1:13:10PFT Commenter:So from Hank's dad, dunking a basketball, learning free bird, getting TSA pre-check,

1:13:19Big Cat:going to the dentist regularly. I actually have it. don't yoga living on one level that would actually be cool that was a good ranch house ranch house ranch house at the beach dude ranch house in the desert yeah oh when your kids all come home to visit getting rid of all your work clothes wearing roback all the time not having to dye your hair feeling not bad about farting all the time i don't good list from from mr yeah that That is very good.

1:13:49PFT Commenter:Also, the rowback one is solid because my dad loves the free rowback I gave him.

1:13:54Big Cat:Did your dad also include when your kids remember your birthday? I forgot that one.

1:14:01PFT Commenter:The one we were going to do that I don't know if it was very similar to your second pick, but I'm excited for being able to flirt with every waitress.

1:14:10Big Cat:Yeah. Yeah. It would have been different enough, I think. Yeah.

1:14:14PFT Commenter:But flirting with waitresses, calling everyone sweetie.

1:14:17Big Cat:Yeah. So it's going to be fun where you get off-color jokes.

1:14:22PFT Commenter:That's kind of what you guys were going for.

1:14:23Big Cat:Yeah, you can just say whatever you want. Yeah. We probably should take the senior discounts. Yeah. We had senior discounts. We had Social Security. Social Security was going to be our boring one. Yeah, collecting Social Security. All forms of retirement. Yeah, but that just feels like whatever.

1:14:40PFT Commenter:All right. So, Hank, do you want to hear why I am now comfortable with getting old after doing this exercise? Sure. Okay. Here's what I have. This is all the things that made me, and some of them were already picked, like becoming a regular at a diner. Sitting on my porch. Just sitting on my porch. Don't sit on my porch. Memes at it. Yep. Day baseball. Just going to everyday baseball. Mm-hmm.

1:15:02Big Cat:Horse track. I knew you were going to say horse track. Horse track. All day, every day. I knew you were going to say horse track.

1:15:07PFT Commenter:I'm ready to retire now that I've gone through this. I'm going to become a big-time metal detector at the beach guy. Big time. Do you like that or no? No, I hate that. Okay.

1:15:18Big Cat:That sounds like doing yard work. No, that's way better.

1:15:23PFT Commenter:You're going to find shit.

1:15:27PFT Commenter:Early dinner. I would love to do early dinner. Early dinner's rock. You're done with dinner at like six o 'clock. That's so great. Watching your enemies die. I got some enemies that I wouldn't hate seeing die. That's a good one. And like the older you get, the better chance you have to watch them die. I think more about friends

1:15:47Big Cat:Yeah no I was trying to do the positives Like Jimmy Carter had to be pretty pumped How many enemies I got a list of enemies

1:15:54PFT Commenter:Hopefully you're not on it Getting multiple dogs Yep Like I think old people that's like an old person thing To get like big dog Little dog medium sized dog You just walk them around all day You just walk them around your neighborhood You should have dogs

1:16:11Big Cat:Getting a bunch of dogs, a lot of land Maybe growing their crops I'm thinking about the farmhouse again

1:16:18PFT Commenter:What do you guys think about train sets? No, I'm out I think I would love to be a train set guy

1:16:24Big Cat:No, that's a world I don't think you want to get into You might get shot like Bobby Bacala Yeah I think train sets have potential Yeah Or anything like Maybe woodwork too? Yeah Anything hands on where like Keeps your cognitive function going But you're like You're achieving a goal But at the end of the day it's like a train car Yeah

1:16:43PFT Commenter:I thought of this one This one probably is going to get poo-pooed. I think I would maybe become a big puzzle guy. Like big. Not I love puzzles. I'm talking about the big puzzle. It's just the one that takes up your whole room.

1:16:58Big Cat:Yeah, it just stays on. You might have a puzzle room.

1:17:00PFT Commenter:Like walking by every morning and just putting one piece in.

1:17:03Big Cat:Yeah. I like that. That is like such a. Yeah. If you sit down and it's like a really like large number puzzle and you get one piece. Yes. It's such a good sense of, you know, I'm struggling. Accomplishment? Yes, that's what I was trying to find there.

1:17:20PFT Commenter:Just walking by and being like, yep, all right, there's my puzzle for the day. Yeah, just developing new hobbies. Yeah. Trying out new hobbies. Yeah, but really the racetrack, day baseball, flirting with waitresses at the diner that I'm a regular at. That's pretty much.

1:17:34Big Cat:I think you're talking about Pete Rose. Yeah, pretty much. Become Pete Rose.

1:17:38PFT Commenter:I'm cool with that.

1:17:39Big Cat:What else did you guys have? Get in the Baseball Hall of Fame when you die. Yeah. We had eating whatever you want because you're just going to die anyway.

1:17:45PFT Commenter:Okay. Yeah, but that goes the other way where like you, I feel like every old person like they're, they want to, they're trying to hold on. You got to hold on as hard as you can.

1:17:55Big Cat:Yeah. And also as you get older, if you continue to eat poorly, then you just, you shit yourself. Yeah. You have to like start watching what you eat because your body handles things better. Yeah. Max didn't like this pick, but retirement homes where you just fuck all the time. Oh. Yeah. If you're a dude in a retirement home. Yeah. But the actual home itself seems bad.

1:18:14PFT Commenter:Well, there's like - Some are okay. Retirement homes, no. Retirement communities. Yes. The communities is what you want. Where it's like standalone houses, but they're all like age people.

1:18:27Big Cat:Or like assisted living doesn't sound fun, but a retirement community. Right. Where you have like, it's like upscale, upscale condos, but you have like a common area with your restaurants. Yeah. No, that's awesome. That's awesome.

1:18:40PFT Commenter:Yeah, it's like a walkable little mini city. Yeah. Everybody's doing golf carts. Yeah, golf cart communities.

1:18:45Big Cat:I was just thinking happy-going more. In my head, I was like, that sounds bad. Golf carts is a big miss. Getting everywhere on your golf cart. Yeah. Yeah. Golf carts are so much fun. Yeah. It might be the best part of golf. Yeah. It's sitting at the docks. Mm-hmm. Oh, going out on your boat. Just sitting. Yeah.

1:19:03PFT Commenter:Just sitting a lot. Like, just sitting around and just staring out at the ocean, staring out at your porch, playing cards, like I said, bingo night, shuffleboard.

1:19:15Big Cat:There's so many games. I just want to get into an old person. I just want to get really into a game. Rummy. Rummy. Rummy's fantastic.

1:19:24PFT Commenter:Rummy's great.

1:19:24Big Cat:Love Rummy.

1:19:25PFT Commenter:Yeah. What else did you have, Zach?

1:19:29Big Cat:Having people drive you around. Yeah. Never having to be behind the wheel. Yeah. Chauffeured. That's good. Also, you're never the DD, so I get the functions. You can just kind of get fucked up. Yes.

1:19:37PFT Commenter:Yeah.

1:19:39Big Cat:Other stuff that could be fun as an older person is...

1:19:46Big Cat:Wait. Nope. Oh, never have to check your phone.

1:19:49PFT Commenter:Yeah.

1:19:50Big Cat:You don't have to worry about any emails, text, phone calls. You're communicating with who you got in front of you and that's it.

1:19:56PFT Commenter:The comically large text on your phones. You are at like 200 Zoom.

1:20:01Big Cat:Yeah. Yes. What about forgetting what day of the week it is? That's got to be nice. That's kind of one of those things. It's one big day.

1:20:07PFT Commenter:You know the whole like you basically are a baby and then an old person is a baby. That's like my kids never know what day of the week it is.

1:20:15Big Cat:Yeah, but if you're old, it's because it doesn't matter. Yeah. I'm going to wake up. I'm going to do what I want to do every day. Yeah.

1:20:22PFT Commenter:Like the diner thing is what I really just want. I just want to have breakfast at the same place.

1:20:25Big Cat:Do you think that Saturdays actually suck for old people? I'm not talking about college football Saturday, but like Saturdays in general, like all the restaurants.

1:20:33PFT Commenter:College basketball Saturday.

1:20:34Big Cat:Well, I'm just saying on a Saturday, all the restaurants are packed, way more traffic in places that normally don't have traffic. I would normally say yes, but sports start earlier. Sports do start earlier on Saturday. Yeah, but I mean. But yeah, like golf, tee times are harder to get. Yeah, going to the movies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You could be right. It's like reverse weekends. Yeah. Or like when you have a, so you're 75, 80, you got an older friend as well, been with you for a long time. Maybe just like sitting down, hanging out, reminiscing a little bit, like old stories. Yeah. That always looks like a blast.

1:21:03PFT Commenter:Yeah. Just scoffing at kids. You don't have to be cool. You can wear whatever you want. Mismatched clothes. Yep. Slippers everywhere. We did, when we were talking, we were like, we wear sweatpants every day. And we're like, well, that's what we do already. Yeah. So that doesn't really play as well. Yep. Okay. That was good Mount Rushmore.

1:21:23Big Cat:Really, it makes me look forward to being old a little bit.

1:21:26PFT Commenter:Yeah. Hank, do you think I can retire now that I've laid out my diner, nap, horse track, day baseball?

1:21:37light shoplift no light shoplift but no why because you're still you're still gonna want

1:21:43PFT Commenter:to get off your takes yeah but i could just do it at the diner what if pfc and i just have a standing date at the diner every morning and we make you come with the recorder you produce it it's just not even recorded i think we're talking about a conversation oh we so would do that too We're talking about a conversation. Just pay Max Hank and Memes to just come with us with the Zoom and just be like, hey, you guys got to record this and put it out.

1:22:08Big Cat:Oh, eating a little bit of dessert with every meal. Uh-huh. Like breakfast dessert. A little bite. Lunch dessert. Oh, yeah.

1:22:14PFT Commenter:Old people definitely, they get pie at breakfast.

1:22:16Big Cat:Yeah. You know what? We'll do the pie. Yeah. That's so true. Have you ever done this? This actually happened to me on Friday night. Went out to a nice restaurant, wanted dessert. they had as their special at the bottom they had peaches and cream okay i was like fuck i haven't had peaches and cream maybe ever but it sounds good i ordered the peaches and cream and it was a salad what it was like cubed peaches and the cream was like uh uh it was like a cheese and then there was like a vinaigrette and and spinach on it i accidentally ordered a salad for my dessert but it was at the bottom of the minute so you would think that being at the bottom yeah that means dessert i just had to sit there and i ate a salad for dessert on friday they really got the weekend off to a bad start that's terrible yeah i'm still thinking about it i woke up thinking

1:23:07PFT Commenter:about the dessert salad i had so much ice cream by the way i want to make a quick announcement because zach is part of the cream team i have much like uh oppenheimer building the bomb i got soft serve ice cream the other day and actually max zach and jacob did a great viva tv video go watch it now where they tried out people for the cream team max tried out and he max made a point that it's too soupy i went out and got ice cream this weekend and it was eight layers of soft serve and it was perfectly stood so firm and tall i told these guys they have to stop at nothing to get us to that point in our machine so are you talking what do you mean eight layers

1:23:46Big Cat:like it was eight swirls so eight times 360 degrees and it was just it was as as like perfect

1:23:53PFT Commenter:We can't. What do you think we can get to? Four?

1:23:56Big Cat:We can do four consistently. We can't touch eight right now in full transparency.

1:24:00PFT Commenter:I told them, do anything you have to do, whether it's the temperature, the mix, whatever, because Zach's like, we might break the machine. I was like, you have to try.

1:24:08Big Cat:I think it's more about the balance of the cone. Like, you could design a piece of robotics that has, like, a gyroscope in it that keeps the cone perfectly level and moves around in circles, and you might be able to get up to 10. No, but the thickness of our ice cream is the problem. It's those bottom foundational layers to hold the other rows. And our foundational layers, after like four and maybe like a half turn with the peak, they start to fade away quick. You've got to get a big cone. Max is the one who brought this up. Yeah, the way I described it is, have you seen those TikToks where people will take soft serve ice cream and just throw it at their co-workers' face?

1:24:43PFT Commenter:We need to get to that.

1:24:44Big Cat:I don't know if you've seen these videos. It's a trend that was going on on TikTok for a while. I missed that one. But they get the way that they... It's like a baseball, and then it just sticks. It doesn't drip at all even after it hits the person in the face. And it's so thick that it travels so well. There's no way that our cream would travel like that.

1:25:04PFT Commenter:Yeah. We need to get our cream to that point. Since we're doing the Mount Rushmore things, we look forward to when we're old, and you called us old with a capital O.

1:25:16Big Cat:Yeah, no. Well, that was in the lash out portion of the Rushmore. Okay. Yeah.

1:25:19PFT Commenter:Since we are old with a capital O What's the 41 thing?

1:25:26Big Cat:I know the 67 thing I do too

1:25:29PFT Commenter:I found out about that But that's also because Brian Dable said it

1:25:32Big Cat:And then I went and looked it up The 67's a song Yeah What's 41? Oh wait I thought the 67 was on the periodic table That it was like ho But then there's also a song to it Zach It's a 6-7 41 41 is just Hoopify's version of 6-7 He just inducted Oh that's just Hoopify made it? But yeah, him and a guy named, there's a guy, something dumb. I forget the first part of his name, but it's just, instead of 6 '7", it's 41.

1:25:59PFT Commenter:Oh. I wish I hadn't learned this.

1:26:01Big Cat:41. And then 6 '7", is like this. I know 6 '7", you see Brian Dable did it? Mm-hmm. What does this mean when you go 6 '7"? That I don't have for you. Hank? 41. I really thought it meant hoe. They also sell like 6 '7", water now. Like they're getting the beverage game. I'm so lost right now. I think I'm right. I think I'm right. Ho? Because 67 on the periodic table is ho. Homeum? Is ho. So in the song 67, they're talking hoes.

1:26:34PFT Commenter:Back in our day when 69 was the only funny number. 69 and 420 was all you needed.

It is Grit Week presented by Hey dude it's travis pastrana uh 17 x game medals is that right i i think you only count the gold so okay so it's 11 all right no i'm gonna count all so 11 gold 17 total right all right so we're we're here on grit week we're in pastrana land it's insane here first question is always what does the word grit mean to you for me grit means it doesn't matter how sick you are how hurt you are how whatever's getting in your way you get it done okay i think that's a i think coming from you that makes sense because i've been reading up uh i guess i i guess it started at the beginning like you you started you were on a dirt bike when you're four years old is that right yep racing um yeah racing my whole family was kind of construction my dad was always riding dirt bikes so yeah it was that's insane i think now though dude the kids if you don't start by four you're probably not making it to that professional level there's very few i mean yeah like mcgrath and some of the guys back in the 90s that started riding bmx first but nowadays like it is it's amazing how hard these kids work and how good they are is that competitive coming along so progression's

1:29:42Big Cat:ridiculous that's did you think when you're growing up that there was like a big future for you like financially professionally like just going fast all the time as a kid you never i don't know my reality never set in like i feel like every kid wants to be a firefighter astronaut soccer player football whatever it is and i just as i got older my friends started having to figure out they're getting real jobs or they're getting hurt or they didn't love what they do and i'm 41 years old still making a living on kids toys i mean it's freaking awesome it's pretty cool this

1:30:11PFT Commenter:place is insane i mean for but we we put out a video i think people will see the video before the interview but you have 20 acres what you have 20 acres yourself you're saying it's 100 acres total there's a bunch of tracks you took us out we did some jumps i mean it's it's like dreamland trusting me by the way yeah no it's good it's um so this area we basically built you know from the time i signed i won my first x games um got a little bit of money everything's gone into this land and it's a redneck paradise but it's it's funny because everyone thinks this is like way in the middle of nowhere but we're you know we're 16 miles from the dc beltway and we're five miles from annapolis so it's it's really cool and we got just all the people that live on this road are all um either snap-on workers or their um military or uh you know mechanics like if you need anything done or there's a zombie apocalypse this is where you want to be i was thinking about that yeah so

1:31:02Big Cat:in case shit goes down is it cool if we just crash here for a while oh yeah yeah we got uh we got arsenals in in most of the the houses there's the people are out back shooting all the time we do all i mean it's if i want to say redneck paradise i mean we can fix anything we can build anything we jump anything we crash everything we're always on bikes we're always in cars and it's like for me i don't think i've ever grown up i think my wife is starting to realize that now like she's you know she lived this life a lot but she's like all right you know now we we moved about a you know about a mile away so not too far but just far enough to be like all right there has to be a separation from like you know yeah this is your actual home yeah this is where you go to have fun yeah that sort of thing but i feel like this is where how many hours a week do you spend out here so i'm not home a lot to be perfectly honest so we're probably but when i'm home i'm here what's really cool about moving away was you know now i kind of come and it's it really feels like this is my my job if you will and i can come in here and what's cool now is my kids are 10 11 years old and they were just out running the can ams all morning and four wheelers they're not as big into the motorcycles but i mean we got like the world's biggest trampoline out there they said yeah we saw

1:32:08PFT Commenter:that we saw that that scared the fuck out of me right right yeah has there been an idea because

1:32:12Big Cat:you have so many different jumps so many different parts of this property that you can go out and like just be creative fuck around with it has there been an idea that's been like too much where you've had to say i don't know about that one that one seems like it's a little too far well we're currently uh just purchased the world's largest outdoor wind tunnel um so that might how big is it um so it's second biggest in the world to dubai but it's the world's biggest outside so It's like 25 feet in circumference. So it's pretty big. Yeah. But it's going to take four megawatts. I don't even know what a megawatt is, but I feel like we're going back to the future here.

1:32:49So I don't know if we can even afford to power it. So that might have been too big. What are you going to do with it? Yeah. What are you going to do with the wind tunnel? Dude, we got a catapult system coming. So the catapult, we're going to fly up and see if we can stop in the wind. Like in midair. Like, yeah. Suspend yourself. wonder if we could like backflip dirt bikes over like high five the people you know we have so many

1:33:08PFT Commenter:ideas yeah it is limit wait you and you jumped out of an airplane without a parachute before right it's kind of pastor fails my favorite kind of test okay so what was that what why did you decide to do that have you ever seen you have kids at the time no okay all right yeah before pre-kids pre-wife let's you know um but yeah so point break i mean johnny utah did it i was like you gotta so kind of as a joke it started out and then i started skydiving i'm like man there's some really really good skydivers i'm like we could probably drop an anvil out which would be me kind of like yeah i'm all right i can get around on the sky but those guys are amazing so uh yeah we hired some guys that actually one of the guys that caught me was military because it's kind of not exactly legal to do uh so the pilot uh was 15 years old and didn't have a pilot's license there's a word for that by the way it's illegal yeah i guess i could stop with that yeah anyway so i wouldn't recommend doing it but it was it was fun it was a good checklist i was i was young were you scared at all the scariest part was that when i jumped out of the plane in board shorts and my socks yeah and i kind of giggled i thought this is like this feels normal and that's what scared me oh my god i was gonna say because like you're just reading about your like upbringing so so four years old you're on your you're you're racing competitively on a motorbike how many hours a day were you on like a motorbike when you were five six seven so well Well, so my whole family was all either military or division one.

1:34:36My uncle Alan was quarterback for Denver Broncos for two years. Like I was the runt of my family for sure. And the only way that I could prove that I was tough. And then my granddad was called a boxer. They were all like, everyone was tough. Something. Yeah. Something. And I wasn't. So what I realized was I'm extremely durable. And when it came to like jumping off of bridges, a lot of bridges around here into water. Like I didn't mind doing the most flips. and I didn't mind getting hurt. I didn't mind flopping. And then, you know, we started kind of doing it with some of the other family guys that, like my cousin Greg, and we started filming stuff.

1:35:08And all of a sudden, this was kind of pre-YouTube and everything, and it just kind of evolved from there.

1:35:13PFT Commenter:Yeah, I was going to say, because you, I was also reading that you got diagnosed with ADHD. Was that the easiest diagnosis ever? No, well. Because they were just, the doctors were just like, yeah, this kid's riding motorbikes and jumping off bridges when he's four years old. The irony on that was that, yes, I was diagnosed with ADHD. but now when i all the like the testing that we do so we've done just a bunch of stuff for head injuries concussions um a lot of really cool stuff with like the latrell brothers um lone survivor marcus and morgan um they've invited a couple of nitro circus guys as well some of the nfl players down um you know we paid for it but just to go through their same concussion protocols and stuff and learned a lot um besides getting sidetracked and completely forgetting what we were talking about right now um the coolest part about that um shit what was the question the adhd was the easiest diagnosis ever because no no but you're riding motorbikes at four yeah so i do get easily distracted but all all of these all of these tests it was funny because i have i'm in the top like one percent of attention but only when most people's attention falls off yeah like i don't know i just kind of get fixated on if you really care about something when your life is on the line you're focused on it so yeah when adrenaline kicks in like when most people's brains kind of go the other way like that's when that's my happy spot yeah yeah that's shit i mean

1:36:30Big Cat:that's pretty incredible stuff so yeah so you you come up you start riding competitively and then you get your first x games medal you put everything into this place and then when you first when you first got the spot and you got the bulldozer you said the what the yellow truck and the bulldozer were the first things that you got here yep so i i kind of did it a little bit backwards from most people. But mind you, my dad is like, Hey, your uncle Alan might've been the greatest athletes ever come out of Annapolis. And he's still working construction in the summers and he's teaching senior citizen health and coaching lacrosse at the community college.

1:37:04He's like, you're never going to make a living doing what you love, but any day that you can wake up and do what you love, it's worth everything. So my whole goal was basically, Hey, look, this isn't going to last forever. So I'm going to wake up with that passion and we're going to go out. And I've, to this day, always treated sport as like, just, and I switched a lot of times when turned down a paycheck for motocross to go do freestyle, turn down freestyle to go do rally, go spend all your money trying to turn left. Not very good at NASCAR. But you know, it's, it's like, what do you wake up and what drives you kind of thing.

1:37:37And what's really cool about that is just, I've always been kind of just all in for everything. And it's, it's led me to here, although we spent most of our money like just investing back in the sport yeah building ramps

1:37:51Big Cat:doing stupid stuff so it was never about like a vision that you had for this place it was like wake up every day follow your passion and then it just kind of grew naturally every step of the way 100 and it's it's amazing like around here you know it takes a village and we have we have a very eclectic group uh you know welders uh ramp builders we got construction guys we've got just about anything that you could imagine and everyone you know filmers editors and we've just got this group of friends now and it's so cool and the youtube stuff i always thought youtubers were just stupid i was like this is not you guys you guys are awesome we're not really youtube yeah but now i realize that it's allowing me at 41 years old i'm still driving cars i'm still having fun and like you get a company like black rifle and they're like hey dude all we care about is let's bring some veterans and first responders let's make people's day let's bring some guys from walter reed that had some really crappy times you know fighting for our freedoms and we bring them over here and we just have a freaking blast and we have a platform to be able to do it with

1:38:50PFT Commenter:yeah i mean you could tell there's like a community here you have like guys all hanging out you said it's like i mean there's the over there there's uh you know bunk beds and guys are sleeping here before x games how many people are here like before x games training because this feels like ground zero for x games so if you're and now with scooters coming in as well but like so nitro circus um you know we kind of started this basically where we started building bigger and bigger ramps and now x games is actually starting to adapt a lot of the stuff but you know with um olympics and everything with bmx and all that stuff so we are the big air of action sports right so if you want to do something huge you want a new ramp built you want to just test some designs we have everything from foam pits to airbags we designed all the landing bags that now pretty much every olympic uh training facility has in every country it's pretty cool to be on that kind of front edge if i never thought i'd be the safety guy yeah but it's like okay we want to go 100 feet above ground level and do three backflips how do we survive wait so are you saying that there is there's like anyone could come up here and be like hey travis i'm training for this i want to build this ramp there's no ramp too big that you would be like no way we can't do it there's there's ability level like so everyone's like hey make sure you wear all your safety gear yes 100 but there's certain people that you could dress as the the michelin man and you're like Like, this is a bad idea.

1:40:12I don't care what you're wearing. There's certain people that, you know, go out there and like, oh, he was, not that you do. He was riding without helmet. I'm like, if he's riding around, like, so it's finding the people that are qualified for what they're doing. And you get them around other people that are very qualified at what they do. And you kind of come together with this eclectic group of mad scientists. Yeah. ADHD, random, complete, like, hey, we tried this and this happened. We tried that and that happened. What if we do this, this, and this? And when you get everyone together, some amazing things happen.

1:40:42PFT Commenter:Yeah. And my greater point is it seems like in this world that you have created, this land you've created, Pastrana land, like no is not the answer. It's, all right, let's figure it out. You know, like let's do it safely. But you're not like, ah, no, we can't do that, which is such a cool ethos to have around here where everyone's like, no, let's figure it out. So one of the next things that we're doing, it was really funny. My buddy was at the bar. He was just telling some random story about what he does. And he's like, oh yeah, we're freestyle tractor drivers. And he goes to me, he's like, hey, have Nate, Nate Wessel, who's like kind of our main ramp guy.

1:41:16He's like, have him sketch something up for me real quick. So now this is, we're in Utah. It's, I don't know, 11 o 'clock at night. It's, you know, one o 'clock in the morning back here on the East Coast. Nate wakes up, puts together a sketch, little program, sends it back over. We completely forgot we had even said it, but an hour later, we got a sketch. Now we're actually going to backflip a tractor because the sketch was so good. I was looking at it. I'm going over this. I'm like, yeah, no, it's not an answer. This, this will work. Yeah. So it's, it's, you just gotta be careful what you ask for.

1:41:45Yeah. You know, at the beginning I'd be like, Hey, I want to do this. Everyone's like, yeah, yeah. Now I'm like, Hey, I want to do this. And I have overwhelming support.

1:41:52PFT Commenter:Right. So it's like, I need someone to be like, you know,

1:41:56Big Cat:you need someone to be like, Hey, maybe a bad idea. I heard that there was a dude that came up here one time and he said, i've got a mind-blowing trick that no one's ever thought of and then you were like well okay what's the trick and he's like you got to pay me for the trick does that work that's a great business model if it does work if you could just like come up with an idea and be like travis pastrana will pay me for my brain i guarantee you that if it's possible like if there's an idea out there there's no way that someone hasn't had it before and there's a reason that it's not being done right they're the best in the world from like in action sports and the brains that come together so what was really interesting we had a guy fly over from europe he was trying to um on instagram and on everything he's hitting everybody up he ends up eventually getting onto the radio station here like um 98 rock and they get all they're they're like hey this guy flew in he wants to go to pastrona land the guy shows up my mom's house knocks on the door so my mom's like oh he's he's got this trick he wants to try i was like well bring him over so i flew in we set him all up we had everything that we wanted he's like oh it's gonna be so easy he's like i want the automatic front flip ramp we're like there it is hoss he's like that's that's just a curb at the top of a ramp i'm like he's like that looks like something i built in my backyard i'm like we did build it yeah right this is our backyard so he didn't do it but that's the he tried everyone like the oh 98 rock yeah how'd it go i'm like well he almost got a front flip around yeah like i thought he was gonna do i'm like yeah he did too i would just say like take any trick that you already do but then light yourself on fire while you do it yeah that's like the next level of her right if you have to light yourself on fire the trick's not cool enough to start with okay my

1:43:35PFT Commenter:opinion it's a fair point what's the trick that like alluded you for the longest amount of time that you then hit so there was a trick it's a backflip with a full twist so pretty simple backflipping and then twisting you do a 360 and a backflip at the same time okay now on paper on a bicycle it's ridiculous yeah yeah so still today i'm the only person that's ever landed that and it was to a mulch pile doesn't even really count and i broke my foot in the process it's just so the motorcycle does first if you pull as hard as you can backwards you get a full flip to every half twist okay so one of my snowboard buddies he goes hey that looks like the start of a double cork 10 i'm like what he's like you just got to go twice as high and twice as far do the exact same thing you're doing and he goes it'll come right around so we started doing it on bicycles became the first one to do it i was first one to land that trick a double backflip with a full twist on a mountain bike and then the first person to land only person still to land on a dirt bike but the takeoff ramp had to be 35 foot tall jesus so like so he was right it was trevor jacob he went to end up olympian snowboarder but it was it's cool like that mind he's like well you can't do this with that motorcycle it weighs too much to get the spin and you get the gyro but he goes just just keep going just go bigger yeah add another flip it'll be easier and he was

1:44:50Big Cat:so right i also love the rules that you have written downstairs there were two of them that jumped out to me yeah and the rules are just they're in either pencil or sharpie they're on like a piece of particle board down there and i think there's seven rules one of them was don't break stuff but if you do have it be on camera no no if you get it on camera i'll pay for it yeah no problem you're covered yeah it's a great rule and i mean to pay hopefully not like

1:45:14PFT Commenter:you know yeah yeah something too expensive you want it to be worth it yeah yeah yeah yeah and

1:45:18Big Cat:then my i think by far my favorite rule was no sex in the phone pit and that seemed like a rule that might have been put in there because somebody did have sex in the phone pit one time well so let's just say someone left uh something used okay in there all right and it wasn't me but someone was upside down in the phone first and they just saw it and it was just right there and you're stuck and you can't move oh no and it was like all right look this we got to draw a line

1:45:43PFT Commenter:no sex in the foam pit um wait so when you were starting out you won your first uh gold at 15 right or yeah 1999 right yes very good so uh but you also broke your spine when you're 15 years old what the so how did you not quit like you you your spine i was listening to an interview you said your spine basically came out of your asshole for medically technically yes that's about what that seems like that hurts that seems like you should just chill out you have your pelvis connects to your spine it's like uh like this and it just so the spine went straight down yeah um so shattered my pelvis um i was the third known case not to basically bleed out after having both si joints dislocated um woke up you know basically i didn't get knocked out but i kept passing out so it was good for me because i was it was my 15th birthday and i realized that i can only take so much pain so i have i have experienced as much pain as my mind will allow me to take and i'm still here so and it was at 15 years old yeah well i mean i guess if you're tougher you could probably experience more pain but my level of threshold no shitting out your spine is a pretty big amount of pain right yeah so every time i'd wake up because they couldn't really figure out they just thought it was shattered pelvis but the spine was kind of in place when i was laying on the backboard but every time they tried to move me it wasn't all the the ligaments and stuff everything that was attached wasn't attached so i just kept every time i move i pass out move pass out hard moment for my mom but right there was the moment that she always had my back but from you know she's basically crying i you know wake up come out of surgery everything's kind of fused in a wheelchair for the next couple months and i'm like man i hope they keep that jump i want to do it again and she just she was crying when she started laughing she's like all right the most pain you've ever been in you're lucky to be alive almost bled out six blood transfusions and you're still the first thing that you think of is not will i be able to walk again but when can i get back on the bike to that jump and she kind of laughs she's like all right so you really love this yeah you're just built different like most people would would run away from that pain you're like i want to conquer did you go back and conquer that jump no they took the jump down oh thank god i really want to do it anyway wait so how much blood did you lose um so they said i I lost a third of my blood volume over a couple of days.

1:47:59PFT Commenter:Holy fuck, man.

1:48:00Big Cat:And I know you've had a bunch of injuries, almost like every part of your body. Are you getting so used to being hurt that you can tell exactly what's wrong? Like that's an ACL, like immediately. So, well, it's good. I didn't have ACL or PCL for about 15 years and then I got a knee replacement. So it kind of makes sense. But so I landed, I was doing a base jump for the start of this Gymkhana video we were doing. And I should have just, I went, I'm not a great base jumper. I'm not a great canopy flyer, but it was kind of a layup. I feel like there's only two kinds of base jumpers, right? The good and then - Yeah, alive and dead.

1:48:31Yeah. Yeah. So I hit that middle ground a couple of times. Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah. So this one, I kind of hooked, turned it in a little bit too low. I was trying to land next to my car. I should have just gone downwind, but I was trying to be cool. I was like, I don't know if I get to jump out of this hotel again, because we got the car all set up, like everything's there. And I hooked, turned it in and I landed. And my dad always said, hey, get up because it always feels like you're broken but you don't know till you get i got up and i felt everything like i my whole everything crumbled my pelvis just so i hit the ground and my stomach started getting super warm and i had felt that before from uh the other time we were just talking about and i was like oh i'm bleeding out so the medic came over and they're like are you okay i'm like i'm fine but i shattered my pelvis and and i'm bleeding out and they kind of laughed and i was like no no like i'm good so i called called my wife on the way because she didn't know i was bass.

1:49:20I forgot to mention it. She really not a huge fan of bass jumping. And I was like, yeah, so no big deal. Um, you know, I shattered my pelvis and the person's like, the doctors will tell you what you did. So it was funny because when I woke up after like two surgeries later and had everything like basically fused back together and had a, the worst part was the torn urethra, not, not, not ideal, but long story long on this one. So the lady came back in the, the EMT or whatever that was there. She goes, you were right. You shattered your pelvis. Um, you were bleeding out. I had five blood transfusions.

1:49:51Jesus. But she goes, you also got your tailbone from top to bottom and you broke your back and you tore your urethra. So I was like, well, I missed a couple. Yeah. In your defense,

1:50:01Big Cat:like in a moment like that, you're probably only feeling the part of your body that's in the most pain, right? So not to get off on another tangent, but I like tangents. Yeah. That's what a podcast is for. My kid during COVID was six years old and she was riding a sled down the stairs as you would. And the sled turned. She caught her foot on the way down, like basically faceplant at the bottom and grabbed her foot right away. I was like, oh, she broke her foot. And my wife was kind of, she's like, no, she landed on her head. I'm like, if you land on your head and you grab any other part of your body, that's the part.

1:50:38That's the broken foot. You only feel what's broken or what's the worst. Yeah. Yeah, when was that? How old were you? No, no, the pelvis again. So that was, yeah. So that was two years ago, almost three years ago now. And what was the rehab like? So that was the first time. So I had basically a tube in my bladder for being for lack of better. So I was back in a race car in six weeks after that and still had some issues. But that was the first time in my life that I realized I was getting old because instead of thinking I got to win, I was thinking, don't hit anything. Don't hit anything. And then I got a new knee.

1:51:17I got a new hip, stem cells in the shoulder. Started on just some peptides that just helped with some tenosobo. Like I was at rock bottom. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't compete to the level I wanted to because all I was thinking about was just not getting hurt. And I feel like when you're hurt, it's the hardest time. And I took the last year to really get myself. I still, you know, I eat too much. I drink too much. I don't work out probably enough. but I'm able to get to the gym every single day, able to get things moving.

1:51:47Big Cat:I'm able to sleep through the night and not to be that guy. But dude, when you can't, when you're hurt too much to sleep through the night and you're hurt too much to actually work out, like life changes. It not only not competitive, but just like mood and everything. Like I need to be active. I need to be pushed myself. I need to be out there. And it's, it was, you know, everyone says, how do you do it? And my, you know, my uncle was playing for Denver. He said, look, the day you stop moving is the day you die. Yeah. So how are you feeling right now? Like walking around day to day? I feel the knee replacement, it's not a perfect knee.

1:52:19Like you still notice it, but I can sleep through the night. It doesn't ache or anything stupid. The hip, dude, best surgery. Six weeks after getting hip replacement, I was doing backflops on dirt bikes. Jeez. They've really mastered that. I've heard you can walk out of the hospital. You did? Getting hip replacement. Well, and the knee too, but the knee just, the pain on that one was bad for me.

1:52:38PFT Commenter:How cool is it to know like you, because you were talking at the beginning, like your dad telling you like, hey, you can do this, but you might always end up back in construction. And like, you know, this might not be a life that you can make a lot of money, but you actually did make a lot of money. And you were also like the start of it. Is that cool to be like X Games didn't exist for 10 year old Travis? Right. And then you almost are at the beginning of all that and that wave. Do you feel like pride in how it's all come along? Because you're a pioneer, really. No, I mean, it's been fun. And, you know, everyone, there's a lot of different ways to look at it, but I'm just very fortunate to be this kid, to still feel like this kid that's living my dream, that gets to go out every day and think of fun things to do with my friends.

1:53:22And it just gets, the cars get faster, the jumps get bigger. But at the same, it's basically just playing in the sandbox when you're like little, you know, little toy cars trying to jump them, except you're now in the car. Yeah. It's freaking awesome. Yeah.

1:53:34Big Cat:Is there a stunt or a trick that you've done that has brought you the most joy, like the biggest rush? I think, so I was already, I was well over my career and I really wanted to do that trick that I was taught, that unicorn trick. It was the backflip 360 and then it got in my head for like four years and I started working on mountain bikes and everything. and now this is so we're in my backyard i've spent so nitro circus they're like here's the budget what we think we can do on this basically we're just you know dvd for lack of it's you know we can make four hundred thousand dollars on this that's if it's good if it's bad like it's going to be like that's just our our audience yeah so i spent 1.2 million building ramps for uh my buddy sheehan to to do a triple backflip uh for another guy to do a quadruple backflip on a bmx bike and I just, I just wanted to see this.

1:54:25I wanted to see progression with stuff that we had been talking about for a while. So we spent two years and then that ramp where she had was doing the triple backflip. I'm like, that's enough air. That's that I can do it. So we did all of our filming, got everyone else done. And it's just about the end of the, like it's sun setting already tired, already exhausted. And the ramp was set up. And I was like, it's never going to be a more perfect time. And I go out there and my wife's just shaking her head. She's like, look, you literally are paying to hurt yourself yeah there's there's 15 of us here no one wants you to do this there's not one good reason there's not one financial like you're old just and i just i remember so i i hate telling the story but it's been out there so i'm gonna tell it again so the first time so i tried it and i kind of bailed out halfway through i got lost i got scared i'm getting old i got the twisties is that a thing i mean i my yeah yeah on that there's three steps you got to take and on step two i said oh shit and forgot step three completely i was like i'm way too high yeah so so i landed and i didn't knock myself out but somehow when i opened i just closed my eyes for a second when i opened them someone had shit in my pants and and all my friends were right there and my wife is shaking her head she's like are you done now can we just can you go home and i'm like nope i gotta do it she's like well you're gonna go change i'm like if i go up there to change i i'm getting that hot tub and i'm never doing this trick yeah so i ended up uh i crashed two more times on that and i was able to not somehow not break myself off and that the snowboarder trevor jacob he goes everyone else like it won't work it won't work it won't work and trevor goes it'll work but you have to go no look he goes you keep trying to spot your landing halfway through you're stopping everything he goes it's a 250 pound machine you got gyro you got everything he goes go blind the whole time he goes if you're not willing to do that like just stop now and it's i came down i've never like come at a ramp before and gone around it i went around it like four times yeah whole pant full of poop just like like everyone just like don't do it and you're so those are those moments that you're like okay why do i ride a dirt bike do i ride a dirt bike to get paid do i ride a dirt bike for fame or pride or do i ride to see if i have what it takes to do what i believe can be done and that was a moment that was really cool for me you landed it

1:56:47PFT Commenter:with shit in your pants yeah and then you broke and you broke your leg on the last one or no no no that one you're good no that was the i tried without the second got it got it got it that's so sick yeah sorry i know i mean that's a great story story no it's a great story before okay yeah so it was good yeah that's i mean and to do it like i don't know you're just a badass dude i actually saw wait i saw i was watching a youtube video of pastrana land the other day and i saw a comment that i got to read to you that i thought was so perfect travis pastrana the most well adjusted insane person out there feel like that sums you up perfectly i like it you're well adjusted insane person yeah yeah i just saw the comment i was like that pretty much sums him up yeah so my all-time hero matt hoffman like this is a guy before there was any money before any first one doing 900 he he tours like blew out his knee and he needed to be ready because he had like video game deal and everything he was retired at the time coming back out and he wanted to do a no-handed 900 he's like this is the last chance i have so he goes up to canada he does full acl like they hook all this stuff together no anesthesia because he couldn't legally do that procedure or whatever they somehow bylaws getting around it he competes like five days after get his whole knee redone no way he does it lands a no-handed 900 income didn't win he got second to mira but like this guy and so we were out base jumping one day and everyone else is getting close to the edge and he's like no i gotta have my rig on first like you afraid of heights he's like no i'm just afraid i'm gonna jump i was like wow yeah that's yeah yeah that makes the calling of

1:58:22Big Cat:the void right you see that out there i might as well go leave that's insane though that he had he had surgery with no anesthesia yeah his body like that's civil war shit nice like here's a stick you can go yeah he goes i wouldn't do it again but so for some reason the law was if you get you can't get put under for any of these procedures but there was nothing that said you couldn't because no one's well that tough yeah right it's not right so what's next for you guys year what are you working on right now um honestly i've just i'm home about two to three days a week um which you know it's good when i'm home i can be home i can be with family but a lot of that time we're still you know we're still doing stuff or we're building up for whatever's coming my goal is to kind of cut down on on the sponsor i still love race and rally i need that competitive spirit i need to see who's the best and when i don't have that i i take that in different directions i become competitive with my wife and that's not that's not a good thing to do so yeah you know we stay in our own lane and she's action sports too um but you know she's got the she shed on top of the hill i got the man cave on the bottom of the hill and we can kind of come together

1:59:24PFT Commenter:in the evenings it's a fucking awesome place what do the neighbors think of this place most of the neighbors are part of it like you've seen just about everyone like danger and all the guys like they're all yeah by the way but you glossed over that there's a guy in pastrana land who walked by us and travis is like what's up danger and i was like how do you get that nickname here like he's got to be the most badass guy out here so as short as a story as i can make um i didn't i'm kind of a no new friends guy like i've got all my like i travel when i come home i'm a homebody we just we get to work here work play whatever you call it um and my wife you know she likes to socialize and kids are getting in school and stuff and a guy a couple doors down we hadn't met he's across the road so not our property that we really need he had five kids a couple of them our daughter's age his wife they had goats and chickens you know fresh eggs all this stuff and we go we call uh we go quad riding and now once a year like we get the group together and we're gonna go until the sun comes up and there may be beverages involved in it you don't want to take people that aren't really really good at what they do and put them into this environment wife's like oh just take jason no he would love to go he could really use an i'm like so we put uh caleb moore who's x games gold medalist in the passenger seat so he brings his ranger down and so i just first hill i'm like i'm just gonna lose this guy real quick and just drop off a cliff he gets stuck on the cliff it's teeter-totter he's like hey guys and he had a handle of water that that he was also drinking and so a couple of guys pushed his ranger off the cliff goes down the thing hits the stream at the bottom i thought he was gonna hit the brakes get stuck in the stream hits the stream jumps up front and then it comes up hits a tree hubert you met today yeah the tree comes down knocks hubert off his four-wheel he's like i didn't spill i was like dude danger ranger was a friend ever since

2:01:18Big Cat:you guys ever think about getting getting a plane out here and just doing like plane jumping and shit that might be next up i don't we got too many trees you got a lot of trees there's a lot

2:01:28PFT Commenter:of trees when we were jumping those cars yeah a lot of natural enemy of planes yeah yeah trees uh all right i got a couple last questions for you this has been awesome and so thankful that you let us uh come here thanks for coming thank you thanks for having us yeah uh how sick are the jackass guys dude so much fun but we had to make a rule around them that if you come up with an idea you have to be willing to do it first yep that's a good rule so we were all hurt we were at the end of season one johnny knoxville knoxville dude just whenever someone on our crew gets hurt he's the first one to call like he's like dude dude good good human being um but yeah so he's on and he's like hey we need to finish up this final episode i'm like dude we're like we're broken he's like well we can take like three or four days i'm like three or four like we're broken he goes all right we're gonna get a bowl I'm like, no, like we're broken.

2:02:19He goes, yeah, you don't have to do anything with the pole. I was like, well, he's like, yeah. I'm like, Johnny, if the bull hits us, we get hit by the bull. If it doesn't hit us, we can't use the footage. He goes, yeah, win, win. Here we go. And we were too afraid to get out there. Jolene tried to go and she got, she ended up with a broken hip from a buttercup. yeah yeah yeah um they were riding tandem on it and the bull and the rider both fell on on jolene she did she did good she's tough so then it was just knoxville so he goes out there he's the guys were like hey this bull if you run as fast as you can it always it doesn't hook you it'll go straight so when you feel something he goes put your hand behind your butt when you feel it hit you lean back knoxville got he went two stories in the air he had no air awareness at all if he did he would he would have landed on his feet in prior he landed on his feet and then his face and then the ball came back after him but it was great footage yeah win-win johnny those

2:03:13Big Cat:guys i mean yeah i've respected that about him he always seems like he does the most dangerous stunts in the jackass yeah so knoxville knows what needs to happen for the clip to be successful he's extremely intelligent and he'll sit on the sidelines until he realizes that the skit needs something else and it's scary because it might be bees yeah it might be a bear might be yeah Yeah. Paintball guns. You never know what is going to, like, I've never experienced more pain. So first time we met in Knoxville, it was a tribute to Evel Knievel. Knoxville's a huge Evel Knievel fan. He's like, I want to do a backflip.

2:03:50I'm like, all right. Blah, blah, blah. I'm like, just don't let the bike go in the air. And that's what we're going to find out later if you guys want to try. Yeah. So I was like, the bike can come back and hit you. Well, Knoxville, we had to jump, push start him because he didn't know how to use a clutch. I'm not playing like the world's worst bike rider. so second gear pinned he has to take off blows off the back of the bike bike goes straight up lands on his back he's okay but the bike comes down hits him in the taint tears his urethra oh so he's got a catheter for the next six months we're on a public flight this is a southwest flight right i'm sleeping mouth wide open he has a catheter bags fly free no but he's got a catheter so he's like four seats behind me he has a catheter long enough to reach me and has only knoxville could get away with this he's got people holding the catheter up and he's got it aimed straight for my face and on a southwest flight he uses his catheter and pisses on me four seats and no no video of it no no this was before this was dude this is the around yeah everyone's clapping i was like this is great a hypothetical that's back when southwest

2:04:57PFT Commenter:was really oh change everything that's awesome yeah i mean jackass like we've always said it's it's basically the the it's it's male friendship distilled into a video and it's obviously chaos but like at the core of it it's these guys just being like no you do this no you do this just egging each other on i think that's why it was so successful and you can you can see that friendship and the camaraderie and the the willingness the the guys are actually i mean some of the guys were smarter than others but like knoxville was a good human a good friend and someone that yeah i mean they all knew what they were in for and they a lot of them got busted up really bad but they were super successful because of that friendship and that's a lot of what we try to create around here is just like that's what nitro circus was really born and he helped us kind of define like

2:05:38Big Cat:what that is what was the insurance like on nitro sir that's why we went to panama a lot

2:05:46fantastic six pack of beer was can we set a blob up at the top of your skyscraper No problem. Take the elevator.

2:05:52PFT Commenter:All right. I have one last question. It's a rowback question. R-H-O-B-A-C-K dot com. Promo code take 20 % off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, rowback dot com. Promo code take. We did a video with you 10 years ago. Do you remember it at all? It was the worst video. I actually would say, I would argue it's probably the worst video that you've ever been part of. Yeah, I'm sorry. No, no, no. Not your fault. Our fault. We did. It was barstool. It was. I remember too. Oh, what's up, dogs? Hey, doggy. Dogs. love it dogs showing up sorry guys no no the uh wifey i remember at the time it was it was like a big deal for us because this is barstool and we're not you know we weren't big at the time and i think we had some ad deal i think it was something around nitro circus where it's like travis pastran is gonna do a video with you you guys come up with the video he'll do it with you our video was like a tricycle right race in new york on a basketball court it was so bad do you remember it all or did you try to erase it from your memory i vaguely okay yeah i like i'm i'm not joking it was like we're we were so stupid thinking it was gonna be sick and like everything you've described to me everything i know about you thank you for for entertaining us for an hour because i i'm sorry i want to apologize for it no we showed up in costumes did you guys do great no we did not do great it was so bad we had one guy nate he showed up in like a pajama costume all-time picture from it but yeah i i don't know i didn't know if you remembered at all i think you erased it from your memory it's good i really i like i remember meeting you guys yeah i i don't yeah i'm happy you don't remember it no no no i'm happy you don't remember it was so bad i mean i

2:07:30Big Cat:feel like we might have made up for today when you took us around the track yeah sent us up the jumps how how would you say zach did zach where's zach oh he's getting ready for yeah yeah who did the best you know all you didn't like i think you guys all had a similar mindset where you're like you didn't really want to get in yeah but as soon as you committed to getting in you're like all right like this is like we're in so like nobody was it seemed like everyone had a good time no one was like i'm a horrible passenger i can't do it but i think that he had the best exact didn't know where to put his hands because so i like this i was i was trying hard not to to laugh it was like a ricky bobby moment yeah like because he every i was like is he like going on a roller coaster you can grab i was just worried that if we had like a like kind of a his hands were gonna like smack the walls or something or yeah heaven forbid like i don't roll with people in the car unless it's a co-driver and we're going for a win but there's always stuff that can happen yeah yeah of course i was just telling myself like if there's one person that's driving me that i would want driving me in the entire world yeah probably you yes you're probably the safest guy well i I appreciate that.

2:08:35You see, I've got a reputation for crashing, but I'm in stuff all the time. And yes, if there's someone faster than me, I am, I'm convinced that I'm the best driver in the world. If someone's going faster, I'm going to like, obviously I could just do it. And that's usually not the case. Yeah. So I have a reputation for crashing, but there's no one here today. That's going to go faster. So you guys should be safe. Okay. Nice. Nice. That's all the times you don't crash. Well, to be fair, like I've got one of the best track records, but there's always a camera going and on a dirt bike, dude, I, you can always make up time.

2:09:06Like if you, there's a whoop section right there. I'm going to shift another gear. I'm going to wheelie as far as this bike will go and it's going to set down somewhere and it's going to spring up and I'll probably get to the other side. Now you can make up like two seconds, like the whole field separated by a half second. I can make up two seconds right there. I can be a second slower than everyone else and still win this thing by 15. So it's that calculated risk. Now, when I went into a rally, I had a co-driver. That co-driver had a wife, two kids. And he's like, look, I'm an accountant. He goes, I do rally.

2:09:40He goes, I'm going to retire at 50 years old with 50 million in the bank. He goes, I am the collegiate quiz bowl national champion. I am a genius. I am getting in this car because we always say this is a life or death deal. He goes, it's bullshit. He goes, winning and losing. He goes, numbers doesn't matter. He goes, I rally to win, but you have to understand that you have to listen to me. And if at any time you're driving over your head, he goes, I'm going to shut it down. If you don't listen, I will not be your co-driver anymore. And he taught me so much about, he's like, on this day, I'm like, we were in fifth.

2:10:13He's like, I don't care. This is as fast as you can drive. I can tell right now we almost went off that cliff. We almost hit that tree. He's like, you have to slow down. I'm like, but they're going faster. He's like, and we'll learn then we'll live to fight another day but if we crash today we're screwed yeah and i know that seems really simple and self-explanatory uh but there's nothing common about sense and it took someone sitting in that passenger seat that was kind of my like you know just reigning in there's certain days you're just not going to be the best there's certain conditions that you're not going to be there yeah and on a dirt bike by myself with devil on both shoulders i was like i got this Yeah.

2:12:28PFT Commenter:All right, let's wrap up the show. We can just do, for the Monday reading, I can just read you a headline that I bookmarked over the weekend because I saw it. It is from our good friends in China. China? Let me find it. I'm going to find it. I'm going to find it. Say something, Zach.

2:12:49Big Cat:What did you do this weekend, Zach? This weekend I did a trip out to Target. Made a nice little journey out there. On the way back, I found there was a 7-Eleven around the corner. Grabbed a Slurpee. It was just hot enough for the perfect Slurpee. Slurpee made it just to the front door of my apartment complex. The timing couldn't have been better. It was so good. So did you get a trash can? I did not get a trash can, no. Okay. What did you get? I got some socks and a steak. That's a great trip to Target. You go to prison? No, but it was a great day. That's awesome.

2:13:16PFT Commenter:Fresh socks, good protein. That's a prison birthday. I might have had one of those. New socks and steak is definitely what you get for your birthday in prison. Fun fact about Shane's weekend.

2:13:26Big Cat:It was a great birthday weekend. Speaking of Slurpees, Shane got three Slurpees on Saturday at three different points in the day. What? Yeah. I did, yeah. Why? He did trip Slurp. I hadn't had a Slurpee in like 10 plus years, and for some reason I was just.

2:13:38PFT Commenter:Wait, what flavors?

2:13:41Big Cat:So I got first Slurpee was at the movies. I got an Icy, a blue raspberry Icy, which I hadn't had in forever. That was great. Solid.

2:13:49PFT Commenter:What movies did you see?

2:13:51Big Cat:Weapons. Okay. Then right after, I needed to get like a toothbrush or something, so I pulled in a 7-Eleven, and I saw the Slurpee machine. You were like, damn.

2:14:00PFT Commenter:It was a Mountain Dew, like pineapple Slurpee, and that was also awesome.

2:14:06Big Cat:And then I got a watermelon margarita, like a frozen marg. So that's basically a slurpee. A slurpee, yeah. And then I got like a snow cone on the beach. How cold was your tummy? I don't know. Pretty cold. Must have been really cold. Did you look at what color your shit was? I noticed, yeah. What color was it? It was pretty fluorescent. Yeah.

2:14:34PFT Commenter:Do they know you at Target?

2:14:35Big Cat:Oh, no. No.

2:14:37PFT Commenter:But you're getting close. Every weekend, you're like, I'm like, what'd you do? You're like, I went to Target.

2:14:41Big Cat:I'm a self-checkout guy. Oh, okay. So you don't have to. There's no interactions, really. What kind of steak? I was, what's the one? Not the strip, not the filet, but the - Ribeye? Yes. You got a ribeye? It was a one. Cooked it up in a pan? I did, yeah, cast iron pan. Smoky? Unfortunately, yeah, so much smoke. So much smoke. So now my entire apartment does smell like steak, but it's a fire alarm roll. Including your bed? Does your bed smell like steak? I had to wash the sheets. Okay. Yeah. Did you go to Target in your pajamas? No. No pajamas at Target. I did look at the – I happened to be in the aisle checking out some others, but didn't come up with any.

2:15:20Big Cat:Some formal ones in case you have to go in the hallway again? I'm going to start going in the hallway in khakis and a pleats.

2:15:27PFT Commenter:You're going to dress up for the hallway. Yeah. All right. Here's the headline. Stressed adults rely on pacifiers to soothe themselves. I feel a sense of safety from childhood. It's, I guess, a new trend that a bunch of adults are using pacifiers. Can we play a game? Yeah.

2:15:41Big Cat:A game called Guess the Publication that wrote that headline?

2:15:44PFT Commenter:Yeah.

2:15:44Big Cat:This feels like a New York Post.

2:15:46PFT Commenter:Of course. Okay, yeah. New York Post.

2:15:48Big Cat:So it's like one guy.

2:15:49PFT Commenter:No, I think it's like people in China.

2:15:52Big Cat:Really?

2:15:53PFT Commenter:That's a drug thing. Oh, yeah, it is. Molly. They're sold as sleep aids. Some online sellers move thousands each month according to South. Oh, so maybe it's actually America, but they're obviously making them in China. That's good. When I'm under pressure at work, I feel a sense of safety from childhood, one Chinese buyer said. So maybe it is China. A doctor in Sichuan. Yeah, the trend isn't staying swaddled in China either. TikTok is sucking it up literally with videos of American adults pacifying themselves in traffic at work or in the throes of a burnout. Whatever happened to just sucking your thumb?

2:16:31PFT Commenter:Yeah. Also, this has got to fuck up your teeth, doesn't it? Whatever happened to - Definitely does. To just cussing. Yeah. Just being like, fuck. Or what about just a - What about some gum?

2:16:43Big Cat:What happened to gum? Yeah, I feel like this is one of those trends where it's mostly from people on TikTok that are doing it as a joke for the TikTok views, and then - And now it's like, ooh, this is actually really nice. Because the headline is, like, fucking millennials, they're sucking on pacifiers. Yeah. Or how about be a badass and put in a mouth guard? How about just getting into a fight when you're frustrated instead of sucking on a pacifier? Get your shit rocked. How about just taking it out on your wife and children? Back when America was awesome.

2:17:08PFT Commenter:Oh, man. Yeah, so pacifiers. They're the hot thing in the street. Okay. Good show, boys. Great show. We're going to be interinvitational this week.

2:17:20Big Cat:Can't wait.

2:17:21PFT Commenter:That won't come out for a while, but PFT, we're excited to go down there.

2:17:25Big Cat:Can't wait. I'm excited. Been working on the game. What is it about golf that when you really work on one part of your game and you get good at that, the other parts that used to be good just completely fall apart?

2:17:35PFT Commenter:I wouldn't know because I've never gotten one part good.

2:17:38Big Cat:What's up with that, Hank? I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm just pretty bad at most parts.

2:17:44PFT Commenter:Yeah, it's such a lie. You're a good golfer now. You beat me off camera last week. You shoot in the 80s.
