USA Hockey Wins The Gold, Keith Yandle Talking About The Gold Medal Game, Olympic Luger Zach DiGregorio, CBB And Who's Back Of The Week

14:09Listen, that was an exhibition.

14:11Big Cat:It was an important exhibition, but that guy's also right in the fact that there's no better tradition Americans have than like pretending not to be upset when we lose to Canada.

14:19PFT Commenter:Taking our ball and going home. We love doing that. It's so fun.

14:23Big Cat:But guess what? We were the better team today. Here's one of my favorites. Okay. The Canadians got much louder cheers than the U.S., which is just getting some polite applause from the crowd in Italy. That's during the ceremony. Yeah. During the medal ceremony. So Canada did get more cheers as they were getting their silver medal.

14:40PFT Commenter:It also was great. Just like this type of event, the trolling you can do is just it's right. There was a tweet at the beginning of the game being like the Americans got booed going out. And I just quote to you and be like, I would never boo in any sporting event. Like it's called the Olympic spirit. And a lot of people took that very seriously. Here's another one that I loved. I can accept the fact that USA won, but what I can't accept is these fair-weather American fans claiming they own the sport now because they won for the first time in almost 50 years, LOL. Well, unfortunately, we won both of the women and men, so I would...

15:22PFT Commenter:Listen, if I could go back, if I could make a rule that we don't own the sport, I would do that for you, Anissa. Unfortunately, we do own the sport because if you say who has the most recent two gold medals in women's and men's hockey, it's the United States of America there in fact we do own the sport

15:38Big Cat:you can come back, maybe next time we play in the Olympics you can try to beat us then that way it would be fair and you would be able to own the sport

15:45PFT Commenter:it would be like when Rome fell Rome is fine they won so many wars, well guess what it's over most recent thing, what have you done for me lately? Anissa

15:59Big Cat:fielding Anissa check it out you also have Connor McDavid who is the best player in the entire world. Yeah, because he got voted for. In fact, Conor McDavid is the MVP of the Men's Olympic Tournament, as voted by, I think, the writers and the players. He won the most important award besides the gold medal at these Olympic Games. So you could say like - He basically won a gold. You could say America owns the sport, but that Conor McDavid is the best player in the sport that America owns. He's the best player in America's game.

16:28PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Here's another one. This is from Taj1944. That was pure domination by Canada. Canada got goalied and U.S. got lucky. Going to happen once in a while when a single game decides everything. Miss multiple empty net tapp-ins. Canada wins that game nine times out of ten with the same game script.

16:46Big Cat:Ah, man. What happened that one time? Nine times. Nine times. We had a goalie that stood on our head. He stood on his head, okay? Sometimes you run into a hot goalie. It happens, and you just ran into a better team, and that's okay. We're just the hockey country. Maybe you guys can get good football or basketball. Drake needs to spend a lot of money on just building up some teams in IL. Yeah. He could probably buy a Final Four at least if he wanted to. Oh, man. But for now, guess what? Hockey's kind of our thing. It's not kind of. It's our thing. It is our thing. Also, shout out to Meg Keller.

17:20Big Cat:She got the game-winning goal that you heard us react to live with Biz and Whit. I had forgotten that me and Billy Football coached her. Oh, yeah. In the Pink Whitney Cup back in like 2020, 2021. She owes all that gold medal. I don't want to say that I get any credit, but I think Billy football should get a gold medal.

17:39PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, he should. For the training. You know the Onion article that everyone uses, like worst person you know, made a good point. I do have to say this. Worst person we know actually had a good tweet. Darren Revell. He did say, for all Canadians saying they were the better team on George Washington's birthday, Let me remind you the British were the better team And yet the Americans still won their independence

18:02Big Cat:That's not really true that the British were the better team They had a bigger army They had a bigger army but we also had They were going up against us and France

18:11PFT Commenter:Ciao France

18:12Big Cat:They were also stupid They were also very stupid And inbred We were way less inbred

18:17PFT Commenter:I just love all this I think Darren's feeling a little high and mighty

18:22Big Cat:Because his son had a nice future on the USA to win On Calci

18:27PFT Commenter:Yeah. So one team dominates, gets goalied, and loses in a gimmick. $35 million devastated in hand-wraining for the next four years. The other team celebrates it in 24 hours. Its fans will forget about it for the next four years and get back to the sports that actually matter to them. Hold on. Hold on. It's going to be more like three days. Like, oh, no, Kansas does play Big Monday. Bill Self, Houston. Is it Kansas? Houston? Yeah. Houston's going to maybe lose three in a row or Bill Self loses first Big Monday ever. So, yeah, I guess that's more than. No, because the game ended at 10 a.m. Yeah.

19:06PFT Commenter:36 hours. Big Monday is 6 p.m. So you're wrong, dude. 36 hours. But, yeah, sorry that we have awesome sports all the time.

19:13Big Cat:That's going to be.

19:13PFT Commenter:And March Madness is the fucking best.

19:15Big Cat:Also, it's Big Monday. Like, normally, if this game was played Saturday morning, I think we probably would have gotten through most of the day on Sunday.

19:21PFT Commenter:This is just a cell phone by this guy because he's just like, yeah, this is absolutely devastating and crippling for Canada for the next four years. Well, whereas U.S. gets to have March Madness, the Masters, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs. We get it all. World Cup. Baseball season. Yeah. They technically have World Cup, too.

19:43Big Cat:Yeah, but that's not. That's like a charity. Like a couple of World Cup games we played in Canada. We all know, I don't think the Prime Minister of Canada got the FIFA World Peace Prize. No. World Baseball Classic? Yeah.

19:54PFT Commenter:Yeah, sorry, we got a lot of sports, and we love sports, and we fucking dominate a lot of sports.

19:58Big Cat:I do feel for the Canadians that are like, you know, what do they have now? Now that they no longer - Curling. They got curling.

20:04PFT Commenter:And cheating in it.

20:05Big Cat:But at what cost?

20:06PFT Commenter:Yeah. At what cost did you get curling? I want to say, by the way, as an aside, I apologize to all curlers everywhere. I curled on Thursday night for six hours. That sport is fucking hard. and in what way every way the rocks move so fast there's skill in there there's actual physical ability because you're basically just doing lunges all on ice with a with a kettlebell curling rocks i watched non-stop curling after i curled once uh can't wait for four years someone to remind me that i like curling and i will be back in it's a lot easier if you cheat yeah it is

20:42Big Cat:it is it's very effective actually it's very easy if you cheat now if uh if you're canadian you can celebrate the curling championship but i feel like that's got to be leave a real bad taste in your mouth if that's the best thing that you have from these olympics from an american standpoint so i'm a little bit biased on this we won the three most important gold medals right we can all agree on that the winter olympics in order the importance of gold medals is men's hockey women's hockey and women's figure skating oh i thought you could say women's slalom because

21:13PFT Commenter:Hank won that.

21:14Big Cat:Hank would have won that. Hank would have won women's slalom. If he was entered. Yeah. Unfortunately, he did not enter himself. But I think those are the three most important ones. Yeah, by far. Like, nobody cares about. But when you talk about, like, women's figure skating. Yeah, I will pretend to care about that for at least 48 hours.

21:31PFT Commenter:Yeah. Well, here's the thing that's beautiful about being us is that if we win, we care. And if we don't win, we just pretend it didn't exist. It's beautiful. We won women's slalom even without Hank. Oh, let's go. And freestyle skiing. And freestyle skiing. We actually had our best Olympics ever. Winter Olympics. Ever. Yeah. We smashed our, I think the most goals we had won previously was nine.

21:55Big Cat:We won 12. If you look at Norway, man. Norway just, they invented every sport in these Olympics. Okay, let me ask a question though. If you remove cross country skiing. Yes. Norway's like the friend that's like, hey, do you want to come to my house and play all my video games and I'll beat you at all of them? Yeah. That's what Norway does. Here, I'll give you the joystick that doesn't work. Yeah, the Winter Olympics. You get the Mad Cats one. Is that cool?

22:15PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, there's this one guy who was on my Instagram feed. He had like seven gold medals. I didn't even know. He just won every cross-country thing.

22:25Big Cat:Yeah, I mean, if you look at these stats, if you take out Norway, which you should. We dominated. We dominated these Olympics. Absolutely dominated.

22:33PFT Commenter:Man. Listen, silver shines bright. That was a real tweet from the women's. Silver shines just as bright. Just as bright. Just as bright. Yeah, if you take out cross-country skiing, we had more gold medals.

22:44Big Cat:There's a couple of souvenirs that I would like to get my hands on from these Olympic Games. One would be the stuffed animal for the losers. The little boo-boo, yeah. I'm sure that there's some trash can in the Canadian locker room that got filled with those stuffed animals. If anybody knows how I can get my hand on one of the losing stuffed animals, I would love that. And then I did say in a request to Jack Hughes, if he doesn't do anything with the teeth, I would like to have those teeth raised up in the rafters here at the Barstool Chicago HQ.

23:15PFT Commenter:Would love that. Right next to Danny Boy Kane.

23:17Big Cat:Right next to all the banners. We'll put that in banner corner. I think that would make a nice addition to the collection.

23:23PFT Commenter:Yeah, I like that a lot. And we're going to get into more of the game with Yans. Talk about the Johnny Goudreau moment, which was awesome. Just everything. Everything about that game was incredible. We also, here's something. Actually, no, I'll save it for my who's back. The whole thing. I just loved it. What would we have talked about if we lost? How would the show start?

23:45Big Cat:Duke, Michigan? Yeah, it's a fun. No, probably not Duke, Michigan.

23:50PFT Commenter:That's a good question.

23:51Big Cat:I probably just would have reentered a new future on the Celtics. No, I... Open the show with that. Probably Nova getting smoked.

23:58PFT Commenter:I will say, and we said this on Friday's show with Witt and Biz. I was like I would have been very upset if we lost this whereas the Four Nations when we lost it we could easily be like ha ha that's an exhibition this would have sucked because we would have gotten so close again we would have eaten some crow Canadians were being mean online man they were being mean they don't handle losing well they gotta learn some class from us

24:26Big Cat:it's the only thing they got we win with class and we lose with class that's what we do It's the only thing Canada's got is hockey. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Canada. I hope oldies doing okay.

24:37PFT Commenter:I might have told Canada to suck our dicks from the back. But that's class. I used hashtag class.

24:44Big Cat:What would America's dick be? What would be the great American penis? Dan Dockage. I think Florida. Oh. I think the state of Florida is. That's America's dick.

24:53PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, that definitely is.

24:55Big Cat:Suck it, Canada.

24:56PFT Commenter:Louisiana's the balls. Oh, yeah.

24:58Big Cat:It's swampy there. Big time swamp ass. Yeah. Yeah. Suck Florida. That would actually make, yeah, like Newport News, Virginia Beach would be the navel. Yeah. Take in Florida.

25:09PFT Commenter:Take all Florida in. Yeah. Right in your mouth. Man, what a game. Where's your, Max, how was the bar? Bar was awesome. How drunk did you get? Because you get drunk. I didn't think you were making it. Did you go? No. Oh. I got pretty drunk, but. What time did you get there? I didn't get there for puck drop It was like 7-12 Oh that's going to piss off a Canadian Listening to this right now Whatever I mean I was there But there is something different about When you have a beer that early It hits much differently You instantly get drunk I said that Once I started my second beer I was like I haven't felt this way after the sip of a second beer ever.

25:57Big Cat:It's a life hack, yeah. And it was also the vibes. The bar is called the Hockey Barn in Chicago, so the reservations were packed. We were in the back corner of a golf simulator, but the vibes were just so incredible. It was so packed. Everyone was so fired up, and everyone just loved American hockey. Now, Max, did you go out Saturday? I did, but I was home by 9 o 'clock. Okay, yeah. Yeah, because that's another thing. It's like everyone knows if you wake up and you have a beer before noon the day after, you get rollover minutes from the night before. Even if you don't feel drunk, it kind of kicks you back in.

26:36Big Cat:But yeah, it was cool to see all the lines at all the bars. It was awesome. People opening up early. I watched from bed, which was awesome to do too. It's a nice way to start your day. I headbang so hard to Freebird. I think my neck is permanently damaged. My neck hurts so bad. So after we scored the game-winning goal, I just ran down to my basement just to play Freebird for myself.

26:57PFT Commenter:Love that.

26:58Big Cat:That's awesome. I just grabbed the guitar. Just for the love of the game. No cameras, nothing on. I just plugged that shit in, and I was just like, I'm just going to rip it. I'm just going to rip it. The acapella version of the guitar, no backup track. My neighbors were probably walking by, walking their dogs on the street right outside the window. They were like, what the fuck is going on? That sounds terrible. But yeah, you just had to. Everybody, it was such a good release in that moment. It was so good It was one of those things where it was like the game ended And I was like I was with like a bunch of my friends We were like fuck it Like we're gonna have an all time Sunday And I was like whatever I'll figure out part of my take later And then like an hour went by And I was like I'm good to go home and take it And I just took like a four hour nap Yeah

27:41PFT Commenter:I didn't appreciate You weren't gonna stick around for Memphis South Florida There was a moment where I was like What am I doing here

27:50Big Cat:Now, if there was a stronger slate that came on right after that, then that could have been a great day.

27:55PFT Commenter:No, because I bet USA big, and then I was like, okay, nice. And then I was just forced into betting. I can't even remember the game. Oh, yeah, it was Memphis UAB. I was like, all right, Memphis UAB, let's go. But that's the beauty of being us. We got Memphis UAB right after. They got nothing.

28:12Big Cat:You would still have to wait another four hours for the golf to come on.

28:15PFT Commenter:Yeah, you don't think I was betting Rice Tulane? I was. And it was great. It was awesome. We did it. We did it, guys. We fucking did it. We did it. We did it. We really did it. Oh, here's another cope. Ready for this? Yeah. John Cooper, coach. You take four players off the ice. He's talking about three-on-three OT. You take four players off the ice. Now, hockey's not hockey anymore. There's a reason overtime and shootouts are in play. It's all TV-driven to end games, so it's not a long time. There's a reason why it's not in the Stanley Cup final or playoffs. Well, it is in the Stanley Cup. regular season you did know that it was three on three before the tournament you do have the three best players in the world on one line that could that were on the ice when you lost that's just a shame that's a shame that you got to go to to excuse making also uh butchegras made a great point and i i think it's true like three on three is beautiful because you know you're going to get an awesome goal yeah like like when you have five on five and and yes playoff hockey is incredible It's probably the best viewing experience.

29:18PFT Commenter:But when you get to overtime and playoff hockey, it could be the bounce off of a stick or a deflected pass from 40 feet out. Three-on-three hockey, you're going to get a sick, sick goal. And that's what we got.

29:31Big Cat:Yeah, it's wide open. It's actually very fun hockey. I know it's not the same, but guess what? You had the rules, too. And if you have the better team, win the game. You can also just make a wide-open shot in regulation. You can just do that. That's an easy way to handle it.

29:45PFT Commenter:I will say, I know we dog him. McDavid, incredible tournament, won the MVP. That's what he does. He wins MVPs. My life flashed before my eyes when he did the thing in overtime where he got all his momentum and entered the zone. You're like, this is a problem. He did that, I think, once or twice. You're like, oh, fuck.

30:06Big Cat:Having him with a puck on his stick in overtime is legitimately terrifying. You're like, this is a problem. Listen, I don't want to say that Sidney Crosby is like a basketball player playing hockey because he didn't play in the gold medal game.

30:21PFT Commenter:Yeah.

30:22Big Cat:Other people are saying that. I don't think that's fair to basketball players. No, that's not fair. SGA would have played. He would have flopped, but he would have played. Yep. I don't think it's fair to Sidney Crosby. He's got a big-time playoff run coming with Pittsburgh Penguins this year, and so he needs to rest up for that.

30:37PFT Commenter:Oh, you got SGA. Yeah, you do have SGA. You have SGA. That's awesome. Yeah. That's sick. He's hockey tough. Dylan Brooks. He's Canadian, right? Mm-hmm. You got that. Yeah. That's awesome. That's so sick. Two great guys. Andrew Wiggins. Yeah.

30:52Big Cat:His birthday today. Andrew Wiggins' birthday today. Happy birthday, Andrew Wiggins. Wow. Let's say some nice things about Canada.

30:58PFT Commenter:Anthony Bennett. Anthony Bennett. Yeah. Yeah, number one overall.

31:01Big Cat:Alanis Morissette.

31:03PFT Commenter:Yep. Celine Dion. Celine Dion. Mm-hmm. Is she okay? John Candy. Love John Candy. Norm Macdonald. Fucking love John Candy. Norm Macdonald, RIP. Jim Carrey. The GOAT, yep. Listen, I do love Canada. We are a little, like, yes, we do own your sport, but I love biz. I love oldie. Canada's awesome. I love going, you know, Toronto's one of my favorite cities to visit. Alex Trebek. Alex Trebek. Maple syrup. Like, there's, Canada rocks. Not at hockey. But, like, everything else, Canada's great. Canada's a great, great country. They're just not the best at hockey anymore.

31:40Big Cat:And I think that Montreal is one of my favorite cities. Yeah. I stand by what I said about the Bell Center. It's the most incredible place to watch a hockey game that I've ever seen. Maybe even a sporting event. It was like SEC allowed in there. Chase Claypool. There you go. Great. One of our great American football players.

31:59PFT Commenter:He got traded for a haul. Basically a first round pick. A haul. It was like the 33rd pick. Yeah. That's huge. Wayne Gretzky. He's the great one. He's the man.

32:08Big Cat:Yeah. Pretty much Chad Kelly now. I think he is. Kind of Canadian? Yeah. Ryan Reynolds.

32:13PFT Commenter:He's got like a lawsuit or something. Rachel McAdams. Oh, the - Wedding Crashers.

32:18Big Cat:The people that found the Don't Fuck With Cats guy.

32:21PFT Commenter:Yes.

32:22Big Cat:There are a bunch of Canadians that tracked that guy down. Good for them.

32:24PFT Commenter:Yes. Drake. Trailer Park Boys. Trailer Park Boys. Trailer Park Boys. Pamela Anderson. Is she Canadian? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's how - Remember she was found - She was one of the cheerleaders or like - She got caught on camera at a CFL game. and they're like she's hot yeah rob ford rob ford r.i.p r.i.p. r.i.p. Eugene Levy the harp the harp brothers also half r.i.p. half r.i.p for the harp brothers yep there's a lot there's a lot of great canadians we love them it's just not your sport anymore and that's okay you'll find a new sport yeah you guys just you know what this curling thing's got legs go with it yeah this might be the start of a dynasty you just go with the curling thing stick with curling stick with curling and um yeah i think it's just curling i don't know i don't know what else maybe you can

33:15Big Cat:no i think curling would be a good one for you to just lean into get a dynasty going um archery

33:22PFT Commenter:i feel like canadians could be good at archery yep being being dudes you want to have a beer with that's a fact canadians are dudes you want to have a beer with you know what i i think not a dude you want to have a beer with and watch hockey because they don't really know the game it's our game now but dude you want to have a beer with without hockey on i think canada is one of the

33:40Big Cat:strongest lunch countries why i think they've got just great lunches okay just like they they take lunch pretty seriously poutine yeah they got the poutine they eat a very heavy lunch in general in canada you got something to respect poutine's big you got the moose yeah a lot of moose a lot of moose maybe just you know go hose down the backyard and look at the moose for a couple days That always takes a sting off

34:06PFT Commenter:I used to tell

34:07Big Cat:I used to tell Darlin I'd say Darlin I gotta go hose down the backyard And look at my moose

34:10PFT Commenter:Oh man What else we got Anything I mean That was awesome Anything else about the Olympics Any other last takes

34:19Big Cat:No it just rocks Winning all the good sports

34:23PFT Commenter:Yeah it really does I love it Did you What Did you guys catch the Olympic gala We had some like Pretty decent Redemption skates at the gala. What's the gala? So it's more so just like a little bit of a send-off. It's not competition. Are you talking about the closing ceremonies? It's before the closing ceremony. There's something before the closing ceremony is called the gala. Yeah, it's an Olympic gala. They've got quite a few athletes who do some skating. So like some of those athletes who things didn't really pan out their way in the competition of the games were able to kind of get some closure through the gala skates.

34:57Oh. So like Elia, you know, like the quad god, he fell a couple times, didn't medal in the free skate but on his gallows kid he hit the backflip that was good he got some closure there and then like Amber Glenn you guys saw she under rotated that triple loop for the short program

35:12PFT Commenter:wait did they have they should have just had Nathan McKinnon just shooting on an empty net that would have been perfect that could have played too in that angle just being like alright I can do this just a redemption

35:23Big Cat:if you tried to do that Nathan McKinnon shot in a video game if you set it up and you like try to miss how many times out of 10 would you be able to miss without the computer making you make that shot i don't pft i i don't want to sound crazy i think you may i don't think i i don't think i missed

35:41PFT Commenter:that shot if i'm if i'm put on the ice in nathan mckinnon's spot i think i hit that every time i think you probably would too right even even in a video you hit that every time in real life about that i think i can hit that shot every time we're such dicks it's not that hard it's wide open that

35:58Big Cat:You didn't put a big puck on that, dude. Hellebick didn't even know where the ball was. I love that. I love talking about hockey like halftime. You got to shoot the ball. It's great. I think the best trolling sport. You guys are being very mean in the group chat, though, regarding Tom Wilson. Well, he's a bad guy. Tom Wilson, not a bad guy.

36:19PFT Commenter:He was being a bad guy.

36:21Big Cat:He was being a bad guy. Not a bad guy. Tom Wilson, great guy. He was being a bad guy.

36:26PFT Commenter:Great hero.

36:26Big Cat:He plays the game in a very American way. It's unfortunate that he's on Canada. No, he was mean. What did he do that was so wrong today?

36:33PFT Commenter:He's being a bad guy. There was like one late hit. That's what I was like. Yeah, and then he was complaining a little.

36:39Big Cat:Sorry that he's built like a freight train. You're being Canadian right now, Max, complaining. Complaining about a Canadian? You sound like a Canadian right now. You sound like a Canadian because you're the one defending the Canadian. No, the Canadian plays the game a very American way. And you're upset. Right now you're defending the Canadian and you're calling me the Canadian. Yeah, you're being upset and you sound Canadian because a physical man played a physical sport physically. You're like, oh no, that's too sensitive. Just to be clear, you're the one defending the Canadian. Yes, for playing the game of America.

37:11So I'm the Canadian even though you're the one defending the Canadian. Correct. Got it. Yeah.

37:18Big Cat:This is not complicated, Max. This all makes sense.

37:21PFT Commenter:Makes perfect sense. Oh man, wait. All right. I want to see. Oh, my God. I could have made it every time. I would have made it every time. Let's see this. He had a second, too. It wasn't like a true one-timer, you know? That's a lot of net. Wait, play it in real speed. Don't ban us, IOC, from talking about it. They actually probably would. We could tell that they had some video on in the room with them. Yeah, no, I make it every time. Yeah. I mean, we all do. Guys like us, you know why? because it's our sport it's our sport we have america we have tremendous concentration yeah

38:00Big Cat:it's fucking it's our sport we don't miss those shots this guy doesn't hey it's hannah montoya abercrombie's new summer drop is our latest obsession there's tons of colorful swim flowy dresses and they just released new linen blend matching sets everything feels so light and breathable it's perfect for brunch or rooftop happy hours just like you're on vacation shop Abercrombie in the app online and in stores. There's one other thing that I want to say about this team. Please. This comes to us from our good friend Frankie Borelli. He tweeted this out. This is kind of crazy. We're going to have to do a wild check on this one.

38:32Big Cat:Brock Nelson, he played wearing number 29. His grandfather was on the 1960 gold medal team.

38:39PFT Commenter:Yep.

38:40Big Cat:His uncle was on the 1980 gold medal team. His grandfather, number 6. His uncle, number 23. 6 plus 23 equals 29 for Brock Nelson. Three gold medals for three U.S. Olympic hockey teams. Pretty awesome. In that family. Pretty awesome.

38:57PFT Commenter:And we are going to get into more of the game with Yance. He had a great breakdown, what it means for USA hockey, everything. Do you guys want to talk some college basketball? Huge Saturday slate. Awesome. I came away from Saturday thinking not different than really what I went into Saturday with, which was Duke's really fucking good. Cameron Boozer's awesome, which I still can't get over the fact that I vividly remember watching him as a fat seven-year-old in Carlos Boozer's driveway. It's tough getting old. And I actually walked away being like, I don't think that was that bad of a loss for Michigan in the fact that they shot absolute dog shit.

39:39PFT Commenter:and if they just shoot a little bit better, they'd probably win that game.

39:43Big Cat:I thought it was a great loss for Michigan. Yeah. I thought they played really – Duke played, I think, as good as they can. Yeah. And they're very good. Duke's capable of beating anybody. Michigan's capable of beating anybody. It's – yeah, it was a close game. It came down to the last 40 seconds. It came down to some foul shots, some missed wide-open threes. But it's also very strange having these games neutral site this time of year.

40:05PFT Commenter:Yeah.

40:06Big Cat:They should not be neutral site this time of year.

40:07PFT Commenter:Yeah. Like, I want to see – Well, no, I disagree just on the fact that I hate that I'm saying something nice about Duke, but I like that they do.

40:15Big Cat:There's an argument to be made that having big matchups between out-of-conference teams this time of year is good for the sport in general. I just don't like playing these games off campus. Yeah. There was Wizards. There was a Wizards game there, and the tickets were like$20, and the tickets for that game were$300.

40:30PFT Commenter:I think someone posted that there was—I think if you combined the get-in price for every Wizards game for the rest of the season. It was less than what the getting price was for Duke-Michigan. They usually pay you to go to Wizards game. What I was going to say is Duke, to their credit, have done this. Actually, I think their second or third year doing this. People forget it happened last year because they beat Illinois by like 50, but they try to schedule a big-time team in this zone, which is smart by Duke to get ready for it. They were playing with the tournament balls. So it was Duke-Michigan.

41:00PFT Commenter:I also thought Arizona was so fucking impressive because I thought that was going to be a game that Houston, awful loss, was definitely going to win. And Arizona is just such a problem down low. They're just so efficient. And that was a big one. And then –

41:14Big Cat:I'm going to be timing the Cougars, by the way. I'm expecting that they lose at Kansas.

41:20PFT Commenter:Well, I don't know. Kansas – dude, that picture of Darren Peterson coming back to the huddle. That's some fake news, though.

41:28Big Cat:Why? Did you see the play? Or if you just saw the picture, it looks bad. He was having a word with the referee, and then he came back to meet up with his teammates. I still think it's... It's one of those pictures that will confirm every bad thing that you thought about him. But if you see what happens in the moment without just looking at that one image... Well, maybe he should have been in the huddle with his team. He could have been in the huddle with his team. He could have been in the huddle with his team.

41:48PFT Commenter:I also think he's a little injured because I was watching, not to get too deep into it, I was watching highlights of him in high school, and his leaping ability is not the same right now. So I think something's up with him. He might actually be injured.

42:04Big Cat:I think he's injured, but I think that he's, like, when it comes to them saying he had the flu and all this stuff, there's other stuff that goes on around with it. And then Bill Self was like, yeah, there's stuff. There's things that he can do to change the narrative, which is play.

42:16PFT Commenter:Yeah.

42:16Big Cat:He needs to play.

42:17PFT Commenter:Are we, Max, you did not go to Philadelphia smart. Thank God. They look terrible. Are you nervous at all about Villanova off of – that was – we were joking about it, but we weren't joking about it. But UConn loses to Creighton, they're going to win the next game. Yeah. I mean, I said that last week. Yeah. I said college basketball is different. Wish they didn't lose. And now we play St. John's on Saturday, and then St. John's has to play at UConn on Wednesday, so there's a good chance I'm just doing it all over again. Mm-hmm. Doing it all over. Also, I don't think you mentioned it, A.J. DeBansa also insane.

42:55Yeah. Played all 40 minutes. All 40 minutes. That's 29-10-9 in the college game is crazy.

43:01PFT Commenter:What was his final stat line? 29 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists. That was so – my guy, Boyd, Badgers today, big win against Iowa. He had 27-9-10, which, yeah, it is. Like a triple-double, a near triple-double in college is nuts. It's hard to do. And that – and then Mick Cronin off the hot seat with the – Tyus Edney coast-to-coast. That was the first thing I thought of. That defense was just – that was awesome.

43:25Big Cat:It looked like Tyus Edney coast-to-coast. Great defense. Nobody moved. They were just dribbled around us. I love it for Mick Cronin, though. I love it. I love how mad he's made people. And they looked dead.

43:36PFT Commenter:They were down like 20 in a blink. Yeah, like instantly they were down. And just college basketball rocks it. I still – I'll keep banging the drum. There's like a thing going on in my head where is the SEC overrated this year or is the SEC bad this year is the question. I don't think they're bad. They're not as good as last year. But what Florida has been doing kind of quietly, they've just been wasting teams. Absolutely wasting teams. And they feel like everyone's kind of not paying attention because the SEC doesn't have the loaded teams like they did last year. Like Kentucky is, you know, did you hear Mark Pope after the game against Auburn?

44:22PFT Commenter:Yeah. He was like, he walked off and was like, credit to me, I didn't talk any shit about how the refs stole that game from us, but it was still on a microphone. It was great. But credit to him. It was great, but credit to him.

44:34Big Cat:I don't know if you can find the guy for that. Yeah. Because he did not say it on the mic.

44:38PFT Commenter:Yeah. But I just, I think Florida, like, they have been just awesome. And if you look at their losses, they were all to really good teams early in the season. They lost to Arizona by a couple possessions. They lost to UConn by a couple possessions. I think they lost to Duke by one. Florida, I think they're still about 13-1 if you want to hop on. Just saying, Florida. 12-1. 12-1.

45:01Big Cat:I just get mad when I watch Florida because I'm like, you need to play the 7 '9 guy.

45:05PFT Commenter:Yeah. Play Olivier. I mean, that's what you need if you're going to play against Duke, if you're going to play against Arizona, if you're going to play against Michigan. Michigan's got so much height. You need those guys, and Florida has those guys.

45:18Big Cat:Did you hear Wimby say that he's going to compete in the dunk contest?

45:21PFT Commenter:Oh, really?

45:22Big Cat:Either that or I got fake quoted, but I think it was real. We've got to find out. When I said it out loud, I was like, this sounds like I might have gotten scintled.

45:31PFT Commenter:That would actually be cool. I don't even think he has to jump. No. He's just walking and be like, holy shit, he's tall.

45:38Big Cat:Yeah. He would just dunk it, and then everybody would be like, I guess that counts as a dunk.

45:41PFT Commenter:Yeah. No, he said it. He said it. Good. Steph is doing the three-point contest next year, he said, which will be awesome. I love watching I know it goes viral every six months But Steph's warm up Yeah Where he doesn't miss a shot And he starts two feet away And goes all the way to half court And then comes back in And it's just like this is the coolest thing ever He still is the coolest Absolute coolest Okay any other sports stories before we do Who's back and then get to our interviews Which we have two great interviews We do have Combine Week coming up It's crazy The NFL's back that fast. Combine week.

46:19PFT Commenter:Back to Indy. Feels good. Any other? Oh, Kurt Cignetti got a new contract, which... Good for him. $13 million a year. Deserved. Deserved.

46:29Big Cat:Big time deserved. The tush push is not in danger of being eliminated, I don't think. Really? It sounds like they're not proceeding with any votes to get it out. Right, Max? Yeah, because the Eagles weren't good at it this year. Oh. Yeah. What do you think about that? Do you think it should be bad now? I don't give a fuck. Whatever. Why do you sound so upset? I'm not upset. I just said I don't care. Okay. Sounds like I don't care.

47:01PFT Commenter:Does sound like you don't care. Yeah. Hank, what happened in golf? Jacob Bridgman won. He was up six going into Sunday. Almost choked. Rory couldn't make a putt. Came in second. What about Liv? No Liv this week. Oh. They did get like$250 million from Liv for additional spending. Who did? Liv from the Saudis.

47:24Big Cat:Oh, okay. They just went to dad and they're like, hey, dad, I got some extra expenses this month. Yeah, they waited for like the best story in sports of the week and were like, hey, Sue, can we get another 250 mil, please? What are they going to do with 250 mil?

47:38PFT Commenter:Liv hockey.

47:40Big Cat:There you go.

47:43PFT Commenter:Liv hockey would be awesome. Yeah. They play in shorts. You put the knives on the feet. I just scrolled past this from Le 'Veon Bell. He said, it took me 45 years to realize it's hard as hell, not hard as hell. Is that true?

47:59Big Cat:Le 'Veon Bell is a serial tweet stealer. Is that true? Yeah, he just copies and pastes for engagement stuff. Hard as what? H-A-I-L. It's hard as hell. Right. It's hard as hell. Hard as hell.

48:13PFT Commenter:Right. He's saying it's hard as what?

48:16Big Cat:No. I think he might have just heard somebody say it's hard as hail.

48:19PFT Commenter:He's also just reminding people that it's his birthday because I think it was like two days ago. Hard as hail? Yeah, that can't be true. No way. Can't be true. Dude, you're 34 years old. He's 45? That happened fast. No. No.

48:40Big Cat:Le 'Veon Bell is not 45. There's no way.

48:42PFT Commenter:Oh, okay. He's 34. Yeah, 34 years old. So why did he say he was 45? Because he steals tweets. Oh, he stole the exact tweet?

48:48Big Cat:Even I thought he would have changed his own age. But no, he just copies and pastes tweets. I kind of like that he just did that. Yeah.

48:58PFT Commenter:He was like, I'm not even going to change the age? Yeah. What? So that's just his thing?

49:06Big Cat:Oh, yeah.

49:07PFT Commenter:I didn't know that. Hard times for Le 'Veon. Yeah, just stealing tweets. 250 million But wait So But on February 18th Because I remember this too He tweeted This is also probably a stolen tweet 45 years around the sun never felt so good I appreciate all the birthday love Yeah Does he think he's 45? How is that a stolen tweet? I think he also He smokes a lot of weed And it was his birthday on February 18th Why is he saying he's 45? He smokes a lot of weed Multiple times Have you seen that? Can you pull out? I see that. But what can you pull up the tweet? Scroll. Why is he saying he's 45 multiple times?

49:51PFT Commenter:Why is he saying he's 45 on his own birthday? Go down. I think February 18th. He also tweeted 19 hours ago. The level of I don't give a fuck you get in your 30s is a beautiful thing. What the hell's going on? 45 years around the sun. Never felt so good. I appreciate all the birthday love. At my big age, I still don't cuss in front of my mom. What is going on? so yeah he did say the level i don't give a fuck you get in your 30s is beautiful

50:19Big Cat:so he is in it i think he's in his 92 babies i think just like born in 92 it depends on what time of day you talk to levy on bell if you talk to him past 3 p.m he's probably smoked nine blunts and he's probably just smoked himself into being older because that makes you feel a little better

50:34PFT Commenter:because when he i saw the 45 year old 45 years around the sun i was like damn how did i miss that he's 45.

50:40Big Cat:Oh, but he also says at my big age, I still don't cuss in front of my mom.

50:43PFT Commenter:Right.

50:45Big Cat:The mystery of Le 'Veon Bell. Okay, February 17th. So all the 92 babies were going to be considered mid-30s this year. Okay. So he does know his age.

50:56PFT Commenter:I think so. We think. But he has multiple tweets saying he's 45. Okay. The mystery of Le 'Veon Bell's Twitter.

51:05Big Cat:But he says, I'm old enough to remember when$5 was good gas money. Yeah. So he might be like 75. No, that was... No.

51:15PFT Commenter:No. No. $5 has never been good gas money. What you're about to say is... I guess when I was in high school, we had no money. Yeah, but that's not like filling up your tank. You're saying... No, but that's like... If you're getting a ride from someone, like$5 covers the ride.

51:32Big Cat:But gas wasn't$1 a gallon. No, but if he's not saying it's a full tank... He's just like, if we're taking a trip and I give you$5, that should be$5 is valid.

51:44PFT Commenter:I'm looking up gas prices right now because I'm actually curious. Gas prices were$1 a gallon in 1998. Yep. And yeah, they haven't been.

51:55Big Cat:And if Le 'Veon is 34 years old, he doesn't remember that.

51:59PFT Commenter:Yeah, they've been over$2 a gallon since 2005. Stop eating crabs. How would you feel if somebody cracked you open and ate you up?

52:09Big Cat:Not good. That's a good point. Wait, from the back?

52:13PFT Commenter:Yeah, that wouldn't feel fun. Gas is so expensive now. What the fuck, man?

52:20Big Cat:There are four girls in a room. Macy is playing chess. Lucy is watching TV. Kayla is sleeping. What is the fourth girl doing? Normalize not knowing what the hell you're doing but still showing up. I'm retweeting that.

52:34PFT Commenter:is it does anybody have that wait is that the fourth girl is that what you're doing hank sometimes yeah a lot of the time normalize it

52:47Big Cat:just no one has a guess about the fourth girl wait say it again one more time four girls in a room macy is playing chess lucy is watching tv kayla is sleeping what is the fourth girl doing videotaping them i don't think so what is she doing i think she's gotta be playing chess right

53:02PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah, yeah. That would make sense.

53:04Big Cat:There's one of them who's playing chess.

53:05PFT Commenter:Well, you could play chess by yourself.

53:06Big Cat:You could. Man, damn. Le 'Veon's making me think.

53:10PFT Commenter:I say it is what it is like I don't overanalyze for like six hours. That's a chick tweet, Le 'Veon.

53:16Big Cat:He does a lot of chick tweets.

53:18PFT Commenter:What was that? What the hell? He's, this is a, we might just have to.

53:27Big Cat:Le 'Veon Bell was a really good football player, and we don't talk about that enough.

53:30PFT Commenter:I like this one.

53:31Big Cat:He was awesome. Yeah, he was. And he was wholly unique. And then he was like, I'm going to put out a rap album, and I'm going to make NFL beat writers stay up past midnight to listen to every single line of my rap album to figure out where I'm going to go.

53:45PFT Commenter:How much do you hate Le 'Veon Bell memes?

53:49Big Cat:I don't hate them. They didn't use them. Yeah. How excited were you when the Jets got?

53:53PFT Commenter:I hope the next Super Bowl halftime show is in Chinese. Nice. I retweet that one. People be in the gym doing 1 ,000 reps of conversation. he might rock.

54:06Big Cat:There's a story when he was with the Jets, he had a threesome and then got robbed, and there's a phone call with the police. He's just describing how they robbed him. Can you find that phone call, please, Memes?

54:19PFT Commenter:A lot of these are just the most, like, how can I get paid off of Twitter possible? What's the first error of your body that you wash in the shower, and why is it your left arm?

56:05PFT Commenter:I got my mind blown the other day by one of those stupid facts that in between every number is infinity numbers. Hmm? In between one and two is infinity numbers. Oh, yeah. It's like the arrow thing. It's like, fuck. I never thought about that. And it kind of messed me up. You get it, Hank? Nope. Like you could just go forever on decimals. 1.1. Oh. So in between each number is infinity numbers. Yeah.

56:29Big Cat:Kind of fucks you up a little bit. You remember when we talked about the arrow thing back in the day? Like if I shot an arrow at Hank, it would never actually hit him. Parallax. Because it has to go half the way there. That's why, yeah. Parallax angle.

One will look more black and the other one will look more Hispanic. Okay, the one that looks more black, how old is she? 23. What was she wearing today? I mean, when I left, she was in the bed. She was in the bed, not wearing clothes when she left. So I didn't see her. You know what I'm saying?

1:01:56Big Cat:It's sad. Oh, no. I wish it wasn't as viral as it was because it just makes me sad every time I see it. It's a monkey that's getting bullied. Oh, what the fuck? I've heard that punch - Is punch a boy or a girl? Whoa, whoa, whoa! They're putting hands on him. Yeah. This is crazy. But here's where it gets really sad. It's got like a fake mom that it runs to, a stuffed animal. Oh, shit. And just hugs the fake mom.

1:02:22PFT Commenter:Baby monkey who's separated from his mother's children. Oh, this is... Dude, why'd you bring this up? Yeah. It's going viral. It's a big story. I saw the picture. I didn't see the video. I was fine with the picture. Not since Mudang has a... Mudang. Shout out Mudang. Mudang got too old. Mudang was...

1:02:40Big Cat:No, but Hank isn't even saying the good part. It got a protector. Oh. It finally got an embrace from another monkey. Oh, let's go. Yes.

1:02:50PFT Commenter:You got to give us that part. Play the hug. That's a great hug. So Punch has someone watching his back now. Kind of. Oh, he's got a gun? Punch has a gun? He's a real, yeah.

1:03:05Big Cat:Somebody did make a fanfic video about Punch where it just goes around drop kicking every other monkey that's in the thing.

1:03:11PFT Commenter:Oh, Punch. Man, this was a bummer. Yeah. All right, but he's got a protector now. After days of rejection, Baby Punch finally felt the warmth of love. Today, an adult monkey, An Singh, wrapped Little Punch in the tightest, most comforting hug. Was that a hug or was he trying to squeeze him to death? That's a good hug. Don't try and ruin this moment for Punch. Okay. I mean, this has got to be like a...

1:03:35Big Cat:Don't trust that hug, Punch.

1:03:37PFT Commenter:This is just a natural, like... Isn't this a thing where, like, an abandoned animal in the wild, like... Yeah. Other animals don't trust it?

1:03:44Big Cat:Yeah, this is like if you made every single species a reality show, you would realize that most animals are assholes.

1:03:51PFT Commenter:Yeah. All right, good for Punch. He's back. He's cute. Very cute. Yeah. Very cute.

1:03:57Big Cat:Okay. My Who's Back of the Week is graffiti. Graffiti's back. It was discovered at the new Bills Stadium. And apparently there's a lot of graffiti that was discovered there. to the point where they issued a$100 ,000 bounty on turning in the people that did the graffiti, and they won't say what the graffiti is. But apparently it was really, really bad to the point where it's making national news. Did they halt construction? They stopped construction on the new stadium because of this graffiti.

1:04:27PFT Commenter:Like a swastika or something?

1:04:29Big Cat:I don't know. They said borderline pornographic in nature. I have a theory. I have a theory of what it could be. Okay. We've seen a lot of new stadiums And a lot of the construction workers That are laying the cement and the concrete They put stuff in that cement In concrete Like as a little leave behind You think they're putting dildos in there? And they got caught? The dildozer?

1:04:52PFT Commenter:That would be pretty awesome

1:04:53Big Cat:I think they might be putting dildos Into the foundation of the stadium And they got caught But what is the graffiti? They won't say They just said pornographic and nature I don't know if they'd consider that graffiti or if that's just like vandalism. Huh.

1:05:10PFT Commenter:I could see it being dildoes.

1:05:11Big Cat:But they won't say what it is. So we should put a bounty. If you guys tell us. Someone tell us. Someone tell us. Email at PMT Bachelor Party. PMT Bachelor Party. Yeah, remember? Isn't that our new segment?

1:05:24PFT Commenter:We're going to do it monthly. Your rumors and tits. Tits and rumors? Yeah. Yeah, tips and tits. Tips and tits. All right. So everyone sends Zach your tip. on what it could have been, and also some tits. And we will talk about that on Wednesday.

1:05:40Big Cat:I'm sure that there's multiple people that work building this new stadium. Get to the bottom of it, Zach. That listen to the show. We'll do some investigative research.

1:05:47PFT Commenter:Okay. Okay, my Who's Back of the Week is the Huffington Post. I didn't know it still existed. Yeah. No idea. And then they dropped this one right after we won all these gold medals. If waving the American flag or chanting USA turns you off right now, you're not alone. So thanks, Huffington Post. That is true.

1:06:09Big Cat:Like, Canadians, it probably turns them off.

1:06:10PFT Commenter:Just a fucking fart in the best Olympics we've ever had. I didn't know Huffington Post was still there.

1:06:16Big Cat:Yeah, neither did I. It's okay to enjoy things. I think that a lot of people could take that advice and learn a lot from it. Yeah. Some stuff is good. Yeah.

1:06:25PFT Commenter:Some stuff is just good to enjoy in the moment and not think about, like, how shitty the world is in general.

1:06:31Big Cat:I'm willing to actually make that a definitive statement. Some stuff is good, and you should enjoy it because it's fun.

1:06:38PFT Commenter:It's actually basically like the premise of this show is that, you know, hey, there's enough like hardships that people go through. Come hang out with us, and we're not going to talk about anything serious. Wait, I want to see that email. What was that email? Zach, property management expert for Zach. Zach, I just listened to Friday's episode and heard you fire. What is it? Can you make it a little bigger? Your fire fest about the 10 days you got and everything going on. As someone who has worked in property management, it definitely sounds like your building manager tried to flex some language on you to get you scared.

1:07:13PFT Commenter:There's a lot more that it takes to kick you out from your place. So if you have any questions. Oh, you're good. P.S. Please pick number six for the lottery ball machine. Okay. Pick six today. You're good, Zach. That sounds really reassuring. Yeah, they're just trying to scare you with language. They're muscling me with verbiage? Yeah. They see a guy like you, they're like, we'll just throw some language at him and he won't know what to do. We're not going to stand for grammatical aggression. No, we're not.

1:07:39Big Cat:No, we're not. No, absolutely not. In fact, we're going to fight fire with fire. Syllables are syllables? But sometimes the best words are the ones you don't say. Left unsaid. Yeah. It's like jazz.

1:07:50PFT Commenter:They also might just be like, hey, we're going to throw some language at you. You're going to go back to your podcast and talk to your idiot coworkers, and they're going to come up with an even dumber idea that will get you kicked out even faster. But that's why we have Jake now in the email. Yep. Check out Jake in the email. He's got you. Okay. Zach, finish us off before we get to our interviews. My Who's Back of the Week is some newly found health discoveries. Okay. As a show, we're trying to get right, elongate our lives, get our bodies right, you know? This was your first day doing the Chinese workout today.

1:08:24PFT Commenter:Did you like it? Chinese workout, way more extensive than I thought it would be. I sweat way more than I ever thought I would going into it. Yeah. But I appreciate the invite. It was a lot of fun. Yeah. Welcome to do it any day. I'm trying to get 50 days in a row doing it.

1:08:37Big Cat:How many calories do you think you burn in one Chinese workout? Probably like 70. Maybe 100? How long is it? It's like a half a bag of chips. 15 minutes. That's enough. It's a lot of air squats. You probably burn like 100. Yeah. Maybe. 70 to 100 yeah yeah it's about moving your body it's also about your body flow if you do that workout it's kind of like max with the beers what you do right after you wake up that sets the tone for the rest of your day so if you work out right after you wake up right you're burning calories all day if you have two beers after you wake up you're pretty much drunk all day correct correct but what what you got something else so this isn't medical advice whatsoever but through some like limited extensive research i think that uh i think part of my peptides might be the play what do we know boys how we feel about wow this is now just history repeating itself yeah

1:09:26PFT Commenter:we have the guy on the i'm on the sixth mic telling us to do peptides i'm in 2026 peptides

1:09:31Big Cat:i'm in favor we got advances are they called are they still called research chemicals what do they

1:09:36PFT Commenter:do he wasn't wrong he was just early he's way early i think they're good if you uh tear your Achilles.

1:09:42Big Cat:Well, why would you say Jason Tatum? Knock on wood. Jason Tatum's been doing peptides.

1:09:46PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah. Jason Tatum was at practice? Did you see the Missoula clip? Yeah, what'd he say? It's very

1:09:51Big Cat:funny. He was like, how's Jason Tatum doing? He was like, he was at practice today, and he said, did he practice? And he just gave him a death stare of all death stares. And he just didn't break. I don't think it's official he's doing peptides. I'm not going to say that he's doing peptides, but I think...

1:10:07PFT Commenter:Should we do peptides? I think if you get seriously injured it helps. Because he's recovering very quickly. Yes, Max. What are peptides? That's what I'm saying. I don't know.

1:10:20Big Cat:They're research chemicals. Oh, research chemicals. PFT did them. That's what I'm saying. When I first got fitted for golf clubs how long ago was that, Hank? Three years ago?

1:10:32PFT Commenter:In New York?

1:10:32Big Cat:Yeah.

1:10:34PFT Commenter:Four years ago.

1:10:34Big Cat:Four years ago. The guy told me just swing as hard as I can every swing. And so I did that. And then I swung one time and I felt a pop. And then my bottom three fingers on my right hand just went numb. And so then I went to a doctor who was like, yeah, you messed up your UCL and fucked with the nerve. And I was like, yeah, Billy, I don't know what I'm going to do. I might have to get Tommy John surgery. And Billy goes, I tell you what, I'll hook you up with some research chemicals and it's going to promote healing. Billy brought him into the office. The dumbest thing I've ever done in my entire life was let Billy Football inject me with this chemical, like an experimental chemical, and God damn it if it didn't work.

1:11:13Peptide sounds a lot better than research chemicals.

1:11:15Big Cat:It worked. Yeah, Billy Football was right. Now, do I regret letting Billy inject me with a mystery serum? A little bit, yeah, but also, like, you can't steal second with your foot on first, you know? You gotta take a chance.

1:11:28PFT Commenter:All right, so someone email us at PMT Bachelor Party. Yeah, PMT Bachelor Party. And tell us, one, can you get it for us? And two, should we do it? I've got a game plan of peptides we could take if you're into the game plan. How did you get involved in this? Short, comprehensive research. But what started this? Because all the hot people online are just like, these are what you need to do. Take these peptides. You'll lose a bunch of weight. Oh, does this? I have a question. Is this logging? No. Yeah. Am I doing logging? What's up? Yes, sir. Does this have anything to do with the Barstool Combine on Thursday?

1:12:06Oh, 100%. Yeah, 100%. That's not going to go the best. And I know that's not going to go the best. You need smelling salts for that, Zach. I need a miracle drug for that.

1:12:17PFT Commenter:Yeah, I was going to say, do you think we're cramming a little late on the test? Oh, definitely. I'm habitually good at that. Yeah. What are you most worried about for Thursday? bench press i'll answer for him yeah i'll answer for we we might have pft and i might have uh went to the bench press with him and zach has never bench pressed yeah but you know what he wasn't that bad he wasn't he was he's stronger than you think i thought that was a closed practice turns out that was not a closed practice oh was it oh you know we were doing an ad but i thought that was a closed practice ad and then it just went straight into the pmtv episode oh it skipped the ad.

1:12:53PFT Commenter:Oh, Joe, he went past the ad right into the...

1:12:55Big Cat:The ad was so good, it became content. I thought it was safe. That's why the people pay a premium for Zach's ads. Okay. What's the goal for Thursday? The goal is to get Zach to do one run. One. He's got to do one. At 135. One full one, I feel good about that. It's a baseline. It's a starting point, and it's like, you got to get one.

1:13:13PFT Commenter:You got to get one. Otherwise, you're Tate. You don't want to be Tate. That looked like a tough year, man. He's had a very tough year. I've gone through some of those comments. That might be the most viewed clip of the year. Not only that, but I love Tate, but if you don't think him not being able to get up one rep and Ohio State not winning the national title this year aren't related, I'm telling you right now, they are. He gets one rep, they probably win the title. Those things go hand in hand.

1:13:41Big Cat:I'm 100 % sure that this time at the Combine, he's going to put up six. He's probably been training all year just thinking about getting his rep up. He has to. things get dark in those comments on that video you gotta get one yeah yeah gotta get one it's like a life-altering thing you don't get one yeah oh all right you're gonna get one you're

1:14:00PFT Commenter:gonna get one life-altering chemicals all right but we need to get the peptides so someone you can you i guess we're just gonna do this you guide us i do have a couple of history repeats itself

1:14:10Big Cat:but now we're fda approved i would i would like for zach not to inject us though how do you feel What FDA approved peptides? Yeah, yeah. Good, good. Get us some peptides. What about like third level chemical trial? Yeah. All right. Third level. But you're not doing the injecting. Oh, no. I don't really like needles, to be honest with you. I would never inject you, PFT.

1:14:29PFT Commenter:Not a big fan of needles as well. Can we get like a pill? I think they have some oral GLPs, but they won't apply as well.

1:14:37Big Cat:Okay. I came into the office on Saturday morning because I was fiending some of the Toradol. I finally found it. I hid it so good that I hid it for myself. It was behind this license plate that I had up here. And so I needed it for my back today. I was like, God damn, I'm going to turn the studio inside out. Found the Toradol. Took it about two hours ago. Toradol's awesome. Did you have any left? Yeah, I got three pills left.

1:15:02PFT Commenter:Oh, I want one.

1:15:03Big Cat:I just don't feel anything right now. Can that help you bench more? No, but it just like my back feels good. I may need it for my neck. It will probably. This Toradol's going to go so fast.

1:15:15PFT Commenter:Max needs it for his fucking day of hangover.

1:15:19Big Cat:My understanding with the Toradol is that if I take it, I'll feel so good that I will then injure myself worse for when the Toradol wears off. Max, look at you go.

1:15:28PFT Commenter:Max, what does that neck do? That was too much headbanging, Max. It was a mistake. Oh, and then you were doing the side too? You were shaking that booty? I was feeling it in the moment. It was good. right now my neck's been hurting look at his side look at this side spot oh oh oh he's popping it yeah all right all right uh zach i'm in for this just you tell us you do all the research because i actually trust you in the fact that like you when when the when the ice cream machine got here and i gave you the task you've delivered on everything the ice cream machine has been wonderful. We do have to get people to eat more ice cream.

1:16:11PFT Commenter:We're running. We got to eat. We got to eat. I was actually thinking we're running what? We're just not. We're not hitting our quota by how much. I don't want to waste ice cream. It's just a lot of people. What does that mean? Like when they clean it out, they're just dumping sometimes. Look, it's it's February, almost March. New Year's resolution is over. We got to get back to eating ice cream. You got to get back to self-love. Yeah. What? It's not ice cream. It's not ice cream season. It's a downtime. It is cold. What about, Zach? I was thinking about this. Maybe we bring back strawberry for a limited run.

1:16:45We've got it on. We've got it on. We can do that.

1:16:47PFT Commenter:Strawberry chocolate. Yes. Okay, so vanilla out. Yeah. You want to keep chocolate where it's at and put strawberry over there? Okay, we can do that. Maybe to push some chocolate on people. Okay. You've got to move some product. Make it half off. Yeah. Two for one sale. All right. Let's do a couple of ads, and then we'll get to our interviews. We've got Yans. We got a loser, Zach D. Regorius from Milan. AWL, awesome dude. Back to back. Iconic summer moments deserve an iconic drink. Reach for Mountain Dew, an American original.

1:18:32Big Cat:And now here's Keith Yandel.

1:18:36PFT Commenter:Okay, we now welcome on our very, very, very, very, very, very, very good friend and a very, very, very special guest. It is Team USA, Keith Yandel. He has his Zoom name as USA. I don't know if you you don't even know computers so I don't even know if you knew what you were doing when you did that uh and we want to talk about the gold medal game because Yans that was one of the coolest sporting events ever and I'm still on cloud nine I want to hear everything all your thoughts on the game I I just re-watched it um I'm gonna re-watch that game I've never re-watched a hockey game more than once I've already watched this game twice I will watch that game probably realistically 20 times it is so amazing the fact that the guys were down here we were all watching it here at my house all together and the fact that they came out with that game after getting up early being on the ropes for basically two periods they got outplayed but conor helleback just saying hey boys hop on my back i got this for you just jump on in and ride me to this fucking gold medal is incredible the i'm so proud to be an american so proud to have played hockey at any level just to say that i did to see these guys we've been waiting a long time right 1980 long long time i think everybody and their mother was sick of the miracle and talking about it it's a it's a new generation's time that was our generation of watching that movie now it's a different group of guys and those 26 or however many guys went out there went over to Milan on their PJs and absolutely lit it up and had a fucking blast and made us Americans so goddamn proud to be an American and so goddamn proud to watch that game and root them on.

1:20:22I swear to God, it was one of the most. So I said it to my wife, like, I'm not really like, you know, I played in the NHL. So when you're watching a hockey game, you're not that invested. I felt every single emotion I could possibly feel. Wanting to puke, wanting to shit my diaper, wanted to cry, wanted to laugh. It was the most amazing drug I have ever taken. Watching those guys go out there and give it their all to come back on U.S. soil, the best goddamn country in the motherfucking world with gold medals around their neck. I am so proud of them, and I can't wait to talk about the game even more.

1:21:02Big Cat:It's awesome watching guys that care as much about the game as you care about it. Like when you're watching, you know, like I feel like a lot of times, especially midseason if it's NBA, not necessarily so much NHL, but you watch some sports and you're like, I wish these guys cared as much as I do. Like they're living, breathing, bleeding, sweating, crying about the game like I am. And with this U.S. team, it felt like they cared even so much more than everybody in America that was rooting them on. And it was a joy to watch. Was there one guy in particular that you thought stepped his game up, a guy that might not have been the superstar, the number one guy going into this?

1:21:37Big Cat:Obviously, they're all really good players, but one guy that elevated what he's doing compared to where he's been in this NHL season. Well, I mean, Hellebuck would be the obvious answer, but he was the MVP of the league last year, I believe. But you just don't hear about him that much in the U.S. because he plays in Winnipeg, poor guy. But it's one of those things where it was such a group effort, you can't really pinpoint. But I will say, like, there was two questions. I want to give a lot of credit to Billy Guerin, the GM of this team, putting this team together, sticking with his guns, not listening to the outside noise, like, you know, dumb people like Biz saying, you should take Cole Caulfield, you should take Robertson, you need more goal scoring, blah, blah, blah.

1:22:17He stuck to his guns. He stuck with his guys. And two guys that, you know, kind of probably were on the bubble was Vincent Trocek and JT Miller. They're first line guys on their NHL teams. And when you go to a tournament like this and it's all superstars, you got to check your ego. You got to just be willing to play whatever role that the coach gives you. And they did that. They were their power play guys during the regular season for the New York Rangers. And they were strictly PK guys. And they didn't let up a goal on the PK the entire tournament, which is unheard of. You're going against the best players in the world.

1:22:53And they did not give up a goal again. So that for me is one of those things that you're going to look back and be like, those guys sacrificed, you know, being heroes, trying to go out and score a goal, be the guy to put the team on their back. And they were like, OK, I'm going to sit here, do my job as best as I can and let the other guys do the job their best as they can. And Hellebuck showed up and everybody else showed up. Did some guys have a tough tournament? Maybe. But it's like you win the gold and everybody is a part of that team. and Witt said it best on our podcast today. Matthew Kachuk had a quote was, you can tell this is a brotherhood because if you say one wrong thing, there's seven guys down your throat just chirping you, letting you know.

1:23:36So you could tell they came together and it started last year at the Four Nations, but they came together at this group in Milan. They didn't go stay at the Four Seasons like the Canadians did. They stayed in the village because we're village people. We go in there man. We were amongst the people. We're blue collar. We just go in there and muck it up. You might not get the best food. You might not have the best bed. You might not get the best sleep, but you're going to have the best plane ride home, smashing beers over your head and kissing your gold medal.

1:24:06PFT Commenter:So there was a couple of quotes after the game that I love. One was that the Kachuks like doors were always open in the village. Like they were like, we were just hanging the whole time. Just the boys hanging out. The roster construction I want to talk about because I feel like, and we can get to the Canadians being just the sorest losers possible, but I feel like they're kind of missing a little bit of the point of this roster construction where they, like Bill Guerin said, they're milk drinkers and whiskey drinkers. We got whiskey drinkers. They did the grit and grind. Like we didn't keep, we didn't have all of our goal scores, our best goal scores.

1:24:44PFT Commenter:We wanted to go defense first and grit and grind guys. so when you watch a game like that and they're hanging on for their dear life and they're like look like they're getting outplayed that was kind of by design how they were going to try to beat them like keep the game tight and try to score you know whether it be a late third period goal or an OT goal so that's that was what his vision worked 100 you couldn't be more dead on you build from the back end out and we had the best goalie in the world and our defense is way better than Canada. But then if you look at the forward group, it's not even close.

1:25:18Like the Canadian team is incredible. They are absolutely stacked. You know, you see it during the game. They dominate at times that they have world world-class players, probably three of the best players in the world with McCarr, McKinnon and McDavid. But it's one of those things, like you said, they built the right team. And I had talked to Bill Zito, who was an assistant GM, or I'm not sure what his role on the team was. and he was like we're building this for to beat one team and one team only and that's canada so they they went in there knowing they had to do that and they did it they they went out there and did it and i remember i think it was for uh world world championship or world it was the world cup i think it was in like 20 2020 or something like that or 2016 i forget what tournament it was and you know usa was like we're gonna bring a bunch of uh grinders and third line guys that shut down teams but nowadays our best grinders are our best players the jack eichels the austin matthews like yeah those guys are you know 40 40 goal guys or 60 goal guys but they're also very responsible all over the ice they don't they don't cheat the game they don't just look for offense they're hard on back checks they're hard on four checks so i think we have the luxury now as a country where you know you're not just taking guys who are good at their jobs and it's being a checking forward you're checking forwards are also your studs so whatever usa hockey is doing and it starts with the ndtp a lot of those guys played together growing up it's uh you know for those who don't those of you don't know it's like a 16 to 18 years old you know they take the best american players around the around the country and they play together all year like a team and and it's a three-year program i believe and they just work out go to school and play hockey and they travel around and a lot of those guys came from that as basically grassroots players and you know you see what it's done for the league and i can imagine canada's going to copy them they're going to try to do something like that because it's working now you're seeing the work that's been put in for the last 20 years of of this program and now it's taken over you win the women's you win the men's you you know i think world juniors we didn't win this this year but we won the last two it's just one of those things as a as a fan and a proud american to see what they're doing is just incredible.

1:27:37PFT Commenter:You mentioned, by the way, the three guys. That was the other part that I love, the complaints about the three-on-three deciding gold. When you have McDavid, McKinnon, and Makar as your three-on-three, who are on the ice when you lost, you should never lose with those three guys. Those are the best three. They're built for three-on-three hockey. It's like a cheat code. And so to complain afterwards, you should like your chances in three on three yeah it's one of those things i think either country whether you win or lose you would have said if you win you love the three on three if you lose you hate it no not us no we would have lost with class yeah we said going into this tournament that doesn't

1:28:18Big Cat:matter three on three you gotta that's guess what yans when you have enough time to prepare for this tournament you have to account for three on three possibilities that's part of creating the roster that's part of hiring your coach and figuring out the strategy the fact that we were more prepared than Canada was. That's a point for us. If you don't like it, then just get better at it. Yeah, or maybe score when it's five on three. Because you had that. Maybe just don't miss a wide open net if you're Nathan McKinnon.

1:28:44PFT Commenter:Yeah. How about that? There's a lot of that. Or how about don't cheat in curling and then put a curse on your hockey team. Good point. Facts. How does that sound? And McKinnon, he's obviously going to get a lot of shit. He also kind of fucked up in overtime, too, not playing the puck. Is that right? Yeah, there was a couple things. The The back check wasn't great. I can't remember who it was. And, you know, obviously you don't want to call guys out. But on the goal in overtime, it was Zach Rowenski, who's a defenseman, an offensive guy who's a great skater. But, you know, he's in his own end. And he ends up winning the race to the puck and gets the puck to Jack Hughes, who Jack Hughes beat two guys up the ice.

1:29:21But it's one of those things where if that's them and we aren't back checking, we're going to be pissed at our play. so I'm sure guys are going to be pissed about guys not back checking stuff. But at the end of the day, the three-on-three in PFT, you made a great point.

1:29:37PFT Commenter:Great point. You know it's going to be three-on-three. Yeah. Whether you're going to change your roster or change how you play the game or who you bring, it doesn't matter. You do know, and that's one of those things that Billy Guerin, again, he deserves all the credit in the world. Did you see the clip of Mike Sullivan saying before Jack Hughes went on the ice, he was like, he's going to score us this goal, and he knew it. because he took that penalty late. If that's an NHL season, a guy takes a penalty late, puts your team down when you're up a man, you might not get another shift for the rest of the game.

1:30:10But he had faith in him. He had faith that Jack would show up, and man, did he ever. How good is that picture? Did you see his quote?

1:30:17Big Cat:He didn't want to end up on Barstool Sports. Yeah, that's what he said after. He was thinking about ending up on Barstool Sports when he was in the penalty box. My question for you is who specifically do you think he was worried about talking about him on Barstool Sports? Probably Biz. Yeah, probably Biz or Dave or you guys. I mean, basically Mincy, anyone, any of the big hitters. I thought it was probably Frank the Tank. Yeah. He's got a lot of experience dealing with Frank the Tank. That's true. Frank the Tank might be rent-free in his head. That's true. Wow, good point. Holy shit. Yeah, no, but I mean, that's a legitimate fear in any athlete's mind is when you do mess up and you're sitting in the penalty, but there's no lonelier feeling than sitting in that penalty box when your team is down and you've got to kill a penalty.

1:31:04But how about that five-on-three kill?

1:31:06PFT Commenter:Yeah, incredible. You said I think it was 18-for-18 on penalty kills in the tournament. It was insane because you felt like that entire second period, then parts of the third period, you're like, the ice is so tilted. This is just like any moment it feels like it could be a three-goal game and they just toughed it out. It's Hellebuck was unbelievable. I mean, that was just, the saves he made were just, he was just nails all game. Yeah, and some people, probably Canadians, will say some of the saves were lucky, but at the end of the day, he made them. And Whit made a good point when we were watching the game.

1:31:45Before the game started, he said, I just want to see USA score first to see how it goes because usually we're chasing in those games. And when you're chasing a team like that, it can get out of hand because then you're not playing your systems. You're not playing the way the coach tells you to. You're trying to score a goal. But this, they got up a goal, and I think what you said, Big Cat, is the way that their roster was constructed was to win a game when they're up 1-0 or going into overtime, and they just felt that way that they could win that way, and they did. And it's, you know, man, it's unbelievable.

1:32:22PFT Commenter:Yeah, it's great because it really was. They never were going to beat – we were never going to beat Canada by four goals. But if you could just get them into – basically drag them into the deep waters and be like, hey, let's get it so that it's – one late goal wins this thing. You got a chance. The one thing I wanted to bring up, and this is kind of all class on me and PFT's side, and I think you'd agree, did not say anything to Witt afterwards about his boy winning MVP of the entire Olympics in another losing effort. That's just what he does now. Did he? Yeah. They voted on it after the first period.

1:33:03Big Cat:I just issued a congratulatory tweet. I didn't say anything, Joe. I think I said congrats well-deserved. Yeah. Because Conor McDavid, he was the MVP of the Men's Olympic Tournament, which is a big deal. That is the biggest. That's the most prestigious award that you can have outside of winning the gold. so I wanted to acknowledge it. How did Whit feel after the game? I know he's rooting hard for the U.S. I don't want to accuse him of having split allegiances. No, he's not. Zero. He definitely feels for McDavid.

1:33:33PFT Commenter:I'd imagine it's something like he's going to wake up tomorrow and kind of reassess and be like, oh, fuck. Everyone's going to be able to make fun of me for that. Even though, obviously, he's 100 % rooting for U.S., but it is funny that this is now twice McDavid has won MVP in a losing effort. That's his thing. That is officially his thing. It also just goes to show you how good he was. Obviously, it was voted on in between the first period because Connor Hellebuck should have won that. I don't care if he gave up 50 goals before that game. The way he played that game, he should have MVP. But yeah, it's also like Connor McDavid, he's got to play a meaningful game not against Matthew Kachuk because, like, anytime it means something, if Matthew's out there as a fan of if you're rooting for the team that Matthew's on, you've got to think that you've got a chance to win.

1:34:26Yeah, honestly, you've got to feel bad for him a little bit, and I'm sure he's going to hear it a lot. No, not from us.

1:34:33Big Cat:No, we're not going to say anything. We're classy guys. No, I mean, listen, he ate our lunch in that exhibition last year. They won the Four Nations All-Star game fair and square, and so we can't really say anything to us. If we try to bring something up to McDavid, he could just be like, hey, point to the banner on the wall. Four Nations champion. Also, the Olympic MVP of the entire tournament. And that's going to shut us up, so I wouldn't dare say anything.

1:34:58PFT Commenter:Anytime I play in a big game, I'm going to be the best player. Not that I'm going to win it, but...

1:35:03Big Cat:The best player out there. Yeah, he's the best player out there. He's the best player out there. What's great about this is Austin Matthews, like, Biz was kind of right. It's kind of like the opposite. Biz was rooting for Canada, obviously, and he roots for the Maple Leafs. He cheers on Austin Matthews. Austin Matthews can win the big one, big time. So I guess credit to Biz. He was right this whole time. No, no, no. He just had to get away from Biz to win the big one. Oh, yeah. Okay, that's a good point too. That makes sense. Yeah, it has nothing to do with, yeah. But honestly, we were talking about it as well.

1:35:37It's like a lot of these guys, realistically, you know, some guys know whether you're later in your career, if you're not on a team that's a cup contender, like you might not have a chance to win a Stanley Cup. So this is it, right? Like this can cement your name in legacy. And a guy like Austin Matthew, although he's young and will have chances to win the Stanley Cup, like if he looked back and they lost this game and whatever happens in his career, like that would be bad. But he has this now that he went out there and, you know, captained the United States to a gold medal. So unbelievable for him.

1:36:13And, you know, now he has to go back to Canada. I don't know how that'll all be. But how about during the four nations when USA beat Canada in the round robin or whatever. And then all the Canadians are saying, oh, this is just the exhibition game. And then they win. And they're like, oh, this is a big deal. We'll take credit for this. But no, no, no. It was an exhibition for this tournament that happened today.

1:36:37PFT Commenter:Yeah. And then after today, it was all three on three. Like, I mean, McKinnon even said it was probably the saddest quote of all time when he was just like, you guys can be the judge of who is the better team today. Well, I will. USA won two to one. What are you talking about? He wants it to be a figure skating where there's judges after? Like, that's what he's basically asking for.

1:36:59Big Cat:He was waiting for the Russian judge to come in and be like, yeah, actually, yeah, I'll give that one to France. More shots.

1:37:05PFT Commenter:It's like a boxing match. You get the CompuBox. So, well, Canada had more shots, so we got to give them the win.

1:37:11Big Cat:I thought an interesting stat. If you look at the rivalry between our two great countries, you know, we're neighbors. Sometimes it's just, you know, you want to beat up on your neighbor more so than anyone else. And between the U.S. and Canada this year, Canada lost the Stanley Cup to us. I'm counting that as a win for USA. And I believe that was six games, right? We won the World Series, too. Our women's hockey team beat Canada.

1:37:33PFT Commenter:In Canada, by the way. That's true, yeah.

1:37:35Big Cat:We went on the road to Canada. and won a World Series. Our women's hockey team beat Canada for the gold medal. I don't know who won the MVP, so they might be able to clap back pretty hard if it was Canada. Okay, and then obviously our men's hockey team beat them. This is a bad year for Canada. What can Canada do to get back off the map because I want a healthy rivalry. I think they have to win the SEC. Right now it's just like we've been stomping them out. I almost feel bad for them.

1:38:02PFT Commenter:Yeah, I think they've got to win an SEC football championship. That's pretty much it. have McGill College in Quebec in Montreal come down and play that's pretty much it that would be the only way to really fuck with us McGill College just whooped Georgia in Athens and that would never happen and that was their whole thing you guys have your stupid little football and your stupid little basketball you can have that we got our hockey but no no no wow, we got it now, baby.

1:38:38Big Cat:What do you think that's like for the Canadian players? Because you were around back in 2010, right? When the two teams get back together, the locker room comes back together. How much shit talking is going to go down once these guys get back in their professional team's locker room? None really, to be honest. Everyone's kind of, you know, I think hockey players are really good at, you know, kind of leaving the past being the past. I mean, these guys are flying on a plane back together after this game. I talked to Matthew Kachuk before the tournament, and he was like, yeah, we have to fly back.

1:39:13If we're in the finals and Canada's in the finals, we're going to be on the same plane together coming back. I cannot be on a plane with Canada if we lose, so I am going to do everything in my possibility to win this game so I can have the best plane. It's going to be like soul plane on there just in the first. They should have played for first-class tickets and roach-class tickets. Yeah.

1:39:35PFT Commenter:I saw they're going to Miami because New York's got a bunch of snow. I mean, they have to go to 11, right? Oh, yeah. You got to go, Yance. You think? Go meet up with them. Yeah, of course. If they come here, I already sent out the text to the guys that if they're here, I will be there and Blutman will be flying back. Oh, wow. That's a gracious move by you to text the guys being like, hey, just so you know, if you're going to 11, I'll come. Yeah, I'll pay. I mean, I think it was one of the interviews. I think it was Matthew Kachuk talking about Connor Hellebuck saying he should never pay for another drink in the U.S.

1:40:14That's not just Hellebuck. All these guys, if you ever see them at the bar, grab them a beer. And if, you know, I'm sure they'll offer to pay for it, but just as a proud American, buy them one beer, one glass of wine, like they deserve it to the, to the utmost.

1:40:30PFT Commenter:Can we, can we play a quick, what if for Canada, for our Canadian listeners? What if Sidney Crosby plays in this game? Healthy. That's a, that's a big thing, man. Like he just like the experience, the seeing him on the ice, like him being able to calm down his teams as such a veteran and a guy that everyone looks to i i'm glad he wasn't i feel bad that he wasn't out there i feel horrible for him because i love the man and he's such a good player and what he's done for this league is amazing but uh i am as a american i'm glad he wasn't out there to play against us just because it could have been completely different like on that five on three like he could be a guy that gets a huge goal you know in overtime he could be a guy that gets a huge goal he's known for scoring golden goals so i think i think it could have been a different game but guess what big cat yeah it wasn't all right what another what if what if conor bedard's on the team and not celebrini well celebrini was incredible the whole tournament but there was there was like obviously i have blackhawks twitter and people were like pointing out that celebrini has not won gold in any of like the juniors and like under 18 and conor has so yeah but yeah because I mean uh Celebrini's been having to play against the U.S.

1:41:48and the world juniors and you can't beat him so um yeah I don't I don't think anyone would take Celebrini off that team uh even before the tournament started just because of how good of a year he's having and Bedard obviously if he didn't get hurt probably could have been on that team um it's crazy how

1:42:06PFT Commenter:loaded they are that was also like a trick question to be like hey remember they have like a bunch of guys they could have put on the team that would have been on our team and we still beat them

1:42:14Big Cat:that line that they had with with marshawn bennett and tom wilson all playing together that's crazy that's some wild boy shit when i saw that's the line that they were rolling out there i was like they're just they're just gonna beat the fuck out of everybody and that that's gotta be like that's a big feather in the cap for the u.s to be able to like out grit and out grind that line who is like just designed to get under your skin and beat you up well that started last year of four nations and honestly that's how canada used to beat the u.s and canada used to you know they obviously had the high-end talent but you know they had guys like you know the jerome gilna's of the world the you know vinnie le cavallis the guys that would fight and play hard and you were scared to be on the ice against and i remember i think it was uh the the last italy olympics like like you know todd bertuzzi's like guys who were just tough guys to play against and and pains in the asses.

1:43:10But then USA did that. They built their roster for that four nations, you know, to have a little bit more grit, to have the Kachuk brothers, to, you know, have the JT Millers. And I honestly kind of saw Canada almost copycatting USA by the way that they picked their roster by bringing, bringing guys like Tom Wilson and Sam Bennett and Hagel's a rat out there. And Marchant's a rat out there. And, and for those of you who don't know, a rat is a compliment. if you're a hockey player and play the way that those guys play. So I honestly think Canada kind of looked at the U.S. where usually they kind of just worried about themselves and picked their team.

1:43:48But I think they looked over at the U.S. team and said, okay, they got some grit, they got some grind, and they had to match it a little bit, but our guys just did it a little bit better.

1:43:58PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah. So back to – I wanted to ask you about this because the three-on-three, by the way, I like the three-on-three because my kids are little and they were kind of like my oldest for the first period. He was kind of watching with me, but, you know, kids, like a six-year-old's attention span is going to go. But then when we got to overtime, I had the whole family come up, and I was like, hey, this is going to end soon, so let's all sit and watch. They all, like, watch. I was like, it's going to be soon. So I was like I could actually enjoy that moment with them. Were you guys going nuts in the living room?

1:44:30PFT Commenter:Nuts. Absolutely nuts. I was fucking losing my mind. I mean, it was such an awesome, awesome game, and it was just like – I was just like buzzing the whole day. I don't know. I'm sure you obviously feel it more than us, but like the whole day I was just kind of smiling and walking around being like, yeah, we're the fucking best. Like we're the best. But after the game, the Johnny Goudreau, and you have the Johnny Hockey shirt behind you, I got a little teary-eyed. I'll be honest. Like I was kind of tearing up in my living room. It's an incredible story. He would have been, for people who don't know, he would have been on the team.

1:45:01PFT Commenter:He and his brother tragically were killed by a drunk driver last summer. the weekend their sister was getting married and to have his whole family out there and his son, it was his son's second birthday. Like you, you knew him, you guys had him on chiclets. Like it's gotta be awesome to see that, like all these guys that played with him and have this moment and share this moment with his family. Yeah. And I think, you know, no matter who you are, if you don't think that there's something else out in this world where a guy like Johnny was looking over them and – sorry, getting a little emotional.

1:45:43PFT Commenter:Yeah. He would have been on that team, man, and he was looking over them and they won it for him. He meant something to that team. He played with those guys. and to see his family up there and Meredith and the kids, it was amazing. And it brings back memories of him and, you know, watching him and hanging out with him, but especially watching him on the ice and doing what he loves. And, you know, the fact that he wasn't able to play in that is brutal, but he was looking over the boys, man, and he found them a way to win that game. And credit to the guys to keeping him, you know, in their spirits and having him in that locker room and credit to USA hockey and whoever brought them his family over and Meredith and the kids and Mr.

1:46:37and Mrs. Goudreau, just first class out of them by doing that. He's up there right now having a beer, smiling, him and his brother, Matt. Matt and Johnny are up there, man. They're having a good time right now. I can tell you that for free.

1:46:56PFT Commenter:Yeah, it's just one of those moments that was a special moment, especially for, like, you win the gold, the team wins the gold, and it was just almost instant that Johnny's jersey was out there, and you could tell right away, like, how much he means to all these guys, and it's just, like, sports mean a lot. Like sports are important for all of us. And I think it's like one of those days where you can take a step back and be like, yeah, we can say it's a silly game. We can say, you know, oh, this or that or the other. Like sports mean a lot to people, families, relationships, friendships, everything.

1:47:30PFT Commenter:So it was really special. I mean, it was a special day all around. Really was. One of the best commercials I saw, it was in the beginning of the Olympics. And, you know, say it's a Chicago Bears fan and a Washington Commanders fan sitting down and, you know, looking at each other wanting to fight. And then they take off their hats or their jerseys and they put on a USA jersey. And, you know, for two weeks, we're all fans together, right? We're all on the same team. Everyone's, you know, counting the medals. And, you know, did you watch the curling? Did you watch the figure skating? Did you watch the bobsled?

1:48:03And then to finish it off with this hockey and, you know, getting that gold medal, it truly does mean that it shows you how much sports means to, you know, obviously for us, we're a bunch of idiots talking about the game. But, you know, even just for happiness and enjoyment, like after the game, me and my buddies, a couple of buddies picked me up in the golf cart and we drove down to the bar. And, you know, the fire trucks are going around with the USA flags and people going nuts. And this is just a little small town in Florida. It's not like you're in Minnesota, Michigan, or Massachusetts. So it meant a lot to the whole country.

1:48:39And, man, is it good to be bleeding red, white, and blue.

1:48:43Big Cat:It really is. It really is. It's going to be very interesting to see how this impacts the future of hockey in America, too. Because you get the ramifications. Like, there's a bunch of kids out there that, you know, 8 to 12 years old watching this that might not have ever focused on hockey, that now want to play hockey, want to make that their sport. and then those are going to be the same kids that in 15, 20 years we're going to see in the Olympics, and it can only get better from here. Seeing this as a possibility to win the gold medal, I feel like that's going to be massive for the future of U.S.

1:49:14Big Cat:hockey. 100%, because before 1980s, there wasn't a lot of Americans in the NHL, if any. You could probably fact check that, but I don't think Americans started being, not accepted, but more looked at to be playing in the NHL. So that 1980s Olympic gold medal meant so much for guys like me as an American hockey player to be able to live out your dream and play in the NHL. And this game right now, what it meant to the world, and it's one of those things too where you're going to get kids from different cultures, different backgrounds, different neighborhoods playing hockey that never did. And, you know, I thought it was cool as 12, 12 states were represented.

1:50:01You got Alaska, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Colorado, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Minnesota, Missouri, and Montana. So some of those are not traditional hockey markets. Like the 1980 teams was probably strictly, you know, Michigan, Minnesota, and Massachusetts, right? So these to have states like that, that have guys representing is, is incredible. and you're seeing that effect from the 1980s. And I cannot wait to see where this takes us because there's going to be a lot of parents who, you know, either their kids are young right now that bring their kid down to the local rink and sign them up or, you know, 15-year-old kids who never played hockey in five years, 10 years, get married.

1:50:45They are like, I'm putting my kid in hockey because I watched that game. So it's going to mean, you know, you look back and, you know, people say, oh, it means more than it's more than just the game or whatever. But things like this, I truly believe are more than a game for what it can mean for a sport.

1:51:01Big Cat:Yeah. If you're Jack Hughes, do you consider not fixing the teeth at all? I would consider just having that be my look for forever. Like, that is the best badge of honor you can ever have. Like, yeah, I shattered my teeth. I sliced them diagonally. But right before I scored the game-winning goal in the gold medal game for the Olympics. i i would call the olympics and say uh can you send me the phone number of the guy that you guys use to make the gold medals and i would just have a gold grill yeah you would never see i would only have gold teeth in and yeah that's about yeah but i mean obviously the nerves hanging out are probably bothering him right now and he wants to get them fixed quick but it's a uh that that is an unbelievable photo that is going to live forever of just you know just it just truly talks about how hockey players, what it means.

1:51:49You think of hockey players, you think missing teeth, whatever, and that truly is it right there. You sacrifice everything. Those guys don't care. If he lost every single one of his teeth, believe me, he would not give a shit. The amount of time he's going to spend in the dentist's chair doesn't compare to the joy that he had a couple hours ago.

1:52:11PFT Commenter:Yeah. All right, Jens, everyone tune in to Spitting Chicklets if you want to get more on this game because I do. I know I certainly do, and I want to listen to Biz cry, which would be great. Hey, Illinois, Stellablu Coffee's new canned lattes are here and in a store near you.

Is this the first ever? I think we talked about giving it to somebody else, right? And I should say... I think you're the first one to ever actually get it. We'll send it to you.

1:55:12PFT Commenter:I should say the mistake was not Witt, because Witt is an AWL. I know that for a fact. I think he also has the record for most appearances, so we owe a lot to Witt. Biz, we could have just thrown in the trash. That one, one of your texts was, do you think Biz has ever listened to your stupid podcast he's like i've been listening every day for six years the disrespect but i also get it you want an american and a canadian on yeah i had to give it to you i mean you torture you torture people all day long it was fair it was fair torture my poor boy hank

1:55:46Big Cat:after the super bowl that's not true that's not true torture him hank how did we torture him Listen, he doesn't, you know, championships don't come around every year. He needed this. He did need this.

1:55:58PFT Commenter:It's like every other year. He needed this.

1:56:01Big Cat:He needed this. But what we did to Hank was no different from what we've done to Max in the past when he loses. When any of us lose, you got to face the music. Yeah, it's not fun. I thought we were very nice to Hank, actually.

1:56:10PFT Commenter:We are nice to Hank. Is Max Canadian? Good question. What does that mean? Oh, no, I meant Italian. Here you go. If it was Italy versus U.S., who would you be rooting for? U.S., U.S., for sure. We got World Baseball Classic coming up. We got more American pride. You might make the Italy team. There was a point in time in my day where I was like, I think I could actually play on this team. There was a kid that played for Italy that I played with in college. I played for Italy. I mean, he was better than me. Yeah. It was the same caliber guy. Yeah. hey I wish if they had open tryouts and you guys sent Max that would be the best yeah let me see the roster here it would be it would be a bunch of dudes with vowels their last name my buddy's name's coming out of retirement my buddy's name that played for Italy was Vito Friscia Vito Friscia shout out Vito yeah Max we can get you on that team wait Yans last question because I had to once I woke up on Friday morning and realized you had been fucking with me after being curling all night did you for any second buy that I cancelled Blutman coming to Florida no because I was talking to him while he was like going on to his plane so yeah no I like figured it out late yeah that would have been funny I can get him back by saying I'm canceling this Blutman is the absolute

1:57:38Big Cat:best you gotta let him into the celebration next time though the celly has to be more inclusive it felt like you guys we're like discriminating against gingers it was like yeah keep your germs over there listen you guys know more than anyone that guy can blend into a couch and we might not have seen like he's he looks like a pillow basically it's it's unbelievable how comfortable that guy can look on a couch it truly truly is i was showing he came to grab some beers with me and my buddies after the game and i was showing them his rap uh song yeah which pft you you did some of that right I produced it for him.

1:58:14Big Cat:Yeah. Yeah. Incredible song. So mad that I just found out about this. It made my kids listen to it all day the other day. It's incredible. Incredible track. If you've never heard it, it's called I'm Watching Ball by Liam Blutman. It's on Spotify. It's amazing. But to my buddies, the cover of the thing is just him sitting on a couch, just so comfortable. And they were like, so what do you do all day? He's like, I just watch ball.

1:58:41PFT Commenter:Yeah. That's it. He sits in the gambling cave with the lights off. Wait, what did Blutman drink? Did he have like a milk or something? No. So fun fact about him, he's never had a sip of alcohol, never had any drugs. I asked him, I'm like, you want a soda? He told me he gave up soda because I guess he put out a tweet. He said, I'm not having a soda until the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup. He's like, looks like I'm never having a soda again. But no, he had a couple glasses of water. That's it. The guy is just pure, pure class. He really is.

1:59:14Big Cat:He really is. I appreciate that he tried to get involved in the celly. Yeah. Because I think that's a big step. Usually, he's not a big fan of being touched or touching people. Yeah. But even him, in a moment like that, he was like, I got to jump around with the boys for a second. Before he got kind of backtracked back into the couch. And now he's like, I'll never do that again. I'm never going to celebrate again. But that was as animated as the man will ever get. And it was nice to watch. hey speaking of animation busy a boy i think um i think he wanted to bring oldie into my house and after the his antics the other day of wearing a uh yes banana hammock around my backyard i called the front gate and i said if anyone by the name of oldie shows up he's not allowed to hear as much as i love oldie and would do anything for him i did not need his good vibes for canada in my house so i'm pretty sure biz had that up his sleeve of trying to bring oldie in because oldie is in florida right now yeah and i put a kibosh to that real quick because that could have been that could have been the turning point for uh for canada if he came in and also you yeah you had you had biz

2:00:19PFT Commenter:walking around with a boner and then if you had oldie with his side flaps it's like you're you're gonna get some questions from your wife and kids being like dad what are you doing they probably just started fucking that's fair yeah that's that's completely fair when biz credit to biz when he did uh pull out the mankini and and that turned Canada's game around the other day strictly because of that but he um I told him because that was on Friday the kids were in school and I said hey listen on Sunday we can't do that like my family's gonna be home you can't he's like no no no I would never but little did he know my family wasn't home oh they were away I still haven't even told him that so I think he he might have he might have pulled it off after like the second if it was tied up or going into overtime, I think he would have done it.

2:01:04So I had to keep that one to myself. And we just didn't need any good Canada juju going around my house.

2:01:11PFT Commenter:No, and it's a really tough day for Biz because he's like, it's good and bad. He, Canada lost, but Bonnie Blue is pregnant. So he's going to be a father. Like, it's a crazy day for him. Congrats, busy boy.

2:01:23Big Cat:Busy Blue. Some guys know how to finish in the crease. Nathan McKinnon can learn a lot from Biz.

2:01:28PFT Commenter:Oh, all right. You're the best, man. Congrats. Awesome, awesome, awesome day, and thank you for coming on, man. Hey, God bless hockey and God bless America. Love you, boys. Love you.

2:03:40PFT Commenter:Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. He is a U.S. Olympian. He's in Italy right now. It is Zach DiGregorios. He is Italian, a great Italian name, and he's an Olympian for the Team USA in the luge. Double luge? Double luge, yeah. We get all the jokes for it, but yeah. Okay, can you explain to me how you got into luge and how anyone gets into luge? Because that's the part that we can't really understand is like one day you wake up and you're like, hey, I'm a luger. Yeah, it's pretty random. Not many people know what Luge is in the U.S. So we have recruitment weekends in different cities around the country throughout the summer where it's like same thing, Luge sled, but it has rollerblade wheels on the bottom of it.

2:04:33So then you just go down like a little hill. They set up like cones for a little course. And that's how they find like I think it's like 95 percent of the U.S. national team for Luge.

2:04:43PFT Commenter:Wait, so they basically are like, hey, here's like a free ride for kids. And you're like, that was fucking fun. How old were you when you first did it? I was 10, and I did the trial with my brother, and he was 12. So we did it. It was next to like an ice cream place and stuff. We just did it because it looked fun, and it took me a lot further than I thought I was going to. I love that. That makes perfect sense now. Now I understand why some of you, you're a 10-year-old kid getting ice cream with your brother, and they're like, hey, want to go fast down this hill?

2:05:13Big Cat:It's basically parents that are looking to get their kids off their hands for about 15 minutes. And they're like, actually, you were really good at that. Yeah. So what do you look for in a loser? If you're designing a loser in a lab, what are the skill sets that this person has to have? What are the strengths they have to have? Yeah, there's a size component to it. But when you're recruiting nine-year-olds, who knows what they're going to look like in 10 years, 15 years. But you want someone taller that is heavier. And, yeah, for the base, it's, like, just how coachable a kid is. Because if you got, like, a bunch of little shits on our development team, it's going to be pretty hard to deal with that.

2:05:54So, yeah, I don't know fully what goes into all of it. But we have normally about 100 kids a weekend. And they'll pick, like, two or three from that to invite them back up to Lake Placid.

2:06:05Big Cat:So you want somebody that's tall and heavy. That seems counterintuitive. Why is that? it's because um it's a gravity sport so it's all just about you know weight but also aerodynamics so um those are like two of the bigger bigger things and then once you get to the higher levels

2:06:21PFT Commenter:it matters more for for the technical side of it what are your measurables i'm 6 '1 and uh 210 pounds so oh okay yeah so that's that's you're you're that's a good build do you a strong man do you have to train like are you fast too uh not like i don't have to sprint but um we we lift so like the whole summer we're based on lake placid and it's five days a week in the weight room and stuff like that so you have to work out and stuff i mean it's a lot of core because where you steer on your legs you're holding them up the whole time so it's not a not that easy on the body as as it looks um you're not just laying there as it as it seems for most yeah so all right so then single lose double lose like what is that process you're like hey you know it'd be more fun if I was lying on another guy?

2:07:08Pretty much, yes. We got bored during COVID, had to experiment, and started doubles. But no, most people started in singles, and then doubles felt like an extra challenge with COVID. And it was two years out from the Beijing games, and we were like, fuck it, let's go for it, change up the direction, and it worked out.

2:07:27Big Cat:Okay. Is there a difference in how you do doubles luge as opposed to singles, like difference in technique? Yeah, I mean, it's the same track, but you have to basically do half the job without knowing what the other half is going to do. So I'm on top. I need to know what the guy below me is going to do, and if things go wrong, I basically have to guess what he's going to do and kind of vice versa for him too. So it's this weird teammate aspect of it. How did you figure out who was going to be on top and who was going to be on bottom?

2:08:00PFT Commenter:Yeah, were you like, I'm just a top? no um it's it's about um height so it's just for aerodynamics big spoon little spoon yeah yeah yeah all right wait so then so so now i i kind of understand this fasting i understand how we find our luge athletes in america in the rest of the world is it like a super popular sport that kids are just doing it all the time and like what countries are dominating yeah germany it's like wild um they have like clubs everywhere and from kids like five years old to people who are like 60 still doing luge for their like club team so um the u.s is pretty sparse on that but then italy does natural luge luge which you got to look that up if you haven't seen that it's it's pretty wild it's like it's like real sledding but they go on ice as well and it's like through the woods oh that's sick yeah and that's how they recruit and then austria is pretty big for it too so all the kind of places you would expect to be way too into sledding so okay and then and then like wait did you go to college or did you just really like i'm committed to being a loser i do online college now i kind of had to commit in like eighth grade or so it was like you're either gonna go spend your winters in europe or go to college so pick spending my winters in europe That's a good choice.

2:09:20PFT Commenter:So did you get, like, homeschooled and stuff because you were, like, I'm committing to lugeing? No, I did public school up until I graduated. But then, like, my junior year of high school, I missed 110 out of the 180 days, and they were pretty done with me and trying to get me to switch to online, and then COVID happened my senior year. By the way, I'm watching. I just pulled up the natural luge. This is the coolest sport ever. this is just you're just sledding yeah yeah it's sledding and we're kind of happy that people haven't realized how cool natural luge is in that sense because like spectator standpoint we know luge looks pretty similar to to an untrained eye so natural luge there's a little

2:10:04Big Cat:bit bigger of crashes yeah it's like f1 on a mountain it's pretty cool uh so when you're um when you're competing in natural luge like this actually you know what we were talking about uh why don't they do two losers at the same time or like multiple people on the track at the same time? I feel like watching that it would be more similar to like a horse race. People get into that as opposed to just like you're competing against the clock. Have they, have they ever tried to do that? They haven't done that. I think just safety wise, like you're going 90 miles per hour. So if you hit into someone going that fast, you get pretty, pretty ugly, pretty quick.

2:10:40That is pretty fast. Yeah. Team relay. if you guys haven't seen the team relay that's that's like our bread and butter for luge that's what i'd recommend like anyone who wants to watch especially because it's like u.s versus canada versus germany versus austria it's it's not like one person goes down four times it's it's one go

2:10:58Big Cat:yeah who's the uh who's the goat yeah in terms of luge like who's the one guy that we can look at and be like that's nobody will ever touch what that guy did armin zogler from italy was pretty pretty up there um he like every olympics he went to he won so or he didn't win but he won a medal um and yeah i think it was four or five olympics in a row so that was pretty nuts but yeah and then just the germans in general like any of their top teams the toby's for doubles they're the toby's yeah both their first names are toby that's perfect yeah and they went before this Olympics they went six for six on gold medals and then this Olympics they did bronze and gold so

2:11:40PFT Commenter:and and what like tell me because I was watching some of the luge and some of the bobsled and it feels like every single time is within like milliseconds of each other what is the difference between winning and like is it is it a move they made or is it an angle they took like what what is it how do you get better at luge when you've been doing it for so long like what's the what's what are the tweaks you're making yeah it's it comes into more than just sliding like how you slide down the track so you can lose a race real easy with making a big mistake or something like that but when you're looking at that top five everyone's so experienced and and so well trained that they're not going to make any big mistake but instead it's going to be you know how much can you push your setup so we don't go on like razor it's not like a hockey blade where it's like a sharp sharp angle into the ice um it's almost like the side of a table like that sharpness going into the ice so the less you know grip you have the faster you're gonna go so whoever kind of risks it the most and then also makes it down clean it's gonna gonna be the winner yeah have there been any big cheating scandals in luge not like any specific it's it's just like little things it's kind of like any racing series where someone will kind of alter the rules find the gray zone and go from there we're not like ski jumping where they have a big one nowadays yeah you're not

2:13:06Big Cat:injecting your penis with like silicon to make the the suit a little bit bigger no but we're not doing the little double touch from from the canadians from the canadians and are cheating have you uh what's the worst crash you've been in i went in uh uh at the last olympics um like Like when we were in China, I had a pretty gnarly like full blackout concussion. Holy shit. I thought I was back in Massachusetts and didn't know the date by like three weeks. So that one was pretty rough, but I haven't broken a bone yet. So that's good. Just broke the brain for a little bit.

2:13:40PFT Commenter:Is it like, is it super dangerous where you're like when you're going down, you're like, hey, this could be the one that could like fuck me up really bad? You don't think about it too much for that, but it's more, it's dangerous for untrained people to come in like starting 10 like you grow up with it but when other nations will come in and you know look at it as i can make the olympics in four years that's when you see some pretty bad crashes yeah yeah um i also saw you're you're an only fans athlete what is what is that do you do they give you like uh do they give you like they reload your wallet or something what what happens there yeah so i mean luge isn't a big sport so we're not going to get any nike deals or anything like that if barstool wants to bring back you know having athletes let me know i listen if you make the next olympics i think you being the part of my take loser would be awesome yeah we'll sponsor you we will absolutely sponsor you perfect you don't have to sell feet picks anymore those days are behind you thank you thank you i'm still too mad at no so so what what happens with the like you're just you're just only you're just like hey i'm an only fans athlete like go go jerk off guys no i mean i post like um all the random shit that we do you know in the village or what it takes to get into the olympics and all that stuff because yeah it's a it's a weird niche sport that yeah trying to show off the other side of it and only fans has helped me out on that side all right well let's help you out right now so zach is an only fans athlete go sign up for OnlyFans or go and use promo code Zach.

2:15:16Perfect.

2:15:16PFT Commenter:Do you have a promo code? You should get a promo code. Well, I got my account, so they just need a sub to me. Oh, okay. So, Zach.

2:15:23Big Cat:And will you do, like, reviews if somebody sends you, like, them losing? Will you rate their form? Yeah, I'll rate their form. That's the only rating I'll do before we get too much going in there. No, that's good. Actually, our theory is that when it comes to the Olympics, like, there's always a story that There's not enough condoms in the Olympic Village. And we think that they do that on purpose every year just so that people will talk about how there's not enough condoms. Is it just filled with hot people walking around all the time? There's some good-looking people here for sure. But, yeah, I don't know.

2:15:54The condom thing, like so many people sent me that when it was like, oh, in three days. But in Beijing, anywhere you walked, there was just like a basket of condoms. You walk by and you're like, yep, grabbing some of those. And, like, it's not even that. Everyone's having sex. everywhere but it's more just like if you have a condom that says you know milan cortino olympics

2:16:14PFT Commenter:yeah that's pretty funny so it's like getting a pin or something from a game yeah it's good i have condoms from six different olympic games so collect all the rings although that's kind of like a cell phone being like i have all these condoms that aren't used unused yeah the uh so like in terms of the olympic village is there a specific country that you found yourself like hanging out with more that's like the chillest country or anything um i mean like my best friends on the italian team and and it's pretty good to have a best friend at the home olympics yeah we kind of ran show for for a couple days there where it was just like all right what events we going to and it was a good party right after after we finished up racing so that's that was the best are you in the olympic dorm right now yeah you want to see yeah well can we see it okay so I'm packing right now, but here's like what the room looks like.

2:17:06PFT Commenter:Oh, so it's literally like a dorm room. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of sick. It's not bad at all. Yeah, it's not bad. Yeah. And they all talk about the cardboard beds, too. That's not a thing. I don't know. I think Paris maybe, but not here.

2:17:18Big Cat:Yeah. Yeah. How do you determine if some guy is going to be a loser or doing the skeleton? Like, are some guys just that guy goes face down? Yeah. skeleton normally starts later um and you have to be able to sprint for skeleton so i can't sprint well so i do luge okay is there a rivalry between luge and bobsled um kind of just in the sense of like bobsled i feel like everyone knows bobsled especially because like jamaican bobsled team right yeah um not as many know luge but then we're like technically the fastest sport on ice is like our like claim to fame so then but now since whistler uh olympics they lowered like our start height there because there's like the crash the bad crash there yeah yeah um so now they technically probably go faster like overall because they still

2:18:14PFT Commenter:go from the top of that track what um so how competitive is it to make the u.s olympic team So you've made it two years or two Olympics in a row. Are you like, are you in the prime? How long can you do this for? I'm going to try to do it for eight more with Salt Lake coming up. But we'll see. Like this year was pretty tough because like doubles, you think is probably the smallest and stuff like that. But, you know, for the qualification period, we have five races and you needed to be like pretty much, you had to have at least one result in the top five or actually better than a top two to make it into our team.

2:18:55Some years there's off years where the team's like not as stacked, but this year was a pretty good year for the U.S. team, and it was pretty tough.

2:19:03PFT Commenter:How many double losers do we send? Two. Oh, so just you and your partner? No, like two teams. Oh, four. Four. Okay, yeah. And how – like are you like best friends with your partner? How long have you been double losing with him? so i've i started doing doubles with him in 2020 with covid and then um i've known him since probably 2013 we used to race against each other okay so you're like oh our powers combined that's gotta be like you you have you have his life in your hands he has your life in it like it's got to be like a pretty close relationship yeah very like yeah we've we've spent a lot of time together so

2:19:40Big Cat:yeah do you have any uh any messages for all the youth out there that are listening that think maybe one day I could be on the Olympic team as a loser like what should they start practicing right now oh I don't know if they should really start practicing just go find lesion and try it come up to Lake Placid we'll let anyone try it and yeah share the sport how much does it suck to

2:19:59PFT Commenter:to to do a sport that if you say it fast enough it sounds like we're calling you a loser um the worst was like probably once I just started and every single like middle school teacher thought that was the best joke in the world but other than that it's been pretty mellow since yeah because like that's that's got to be like at least i i assume every loser has had that experience of being like oh all right fuck you dude like i get it it's luge yeah it sounds like lose i got it cool that's every loser probably has had that exact same experience yeah we get like probably the same four jokes just repeated to us the entire time so you get used to them but yeah we want some creativity on it dude you're an Olympic athlete you could just fucking flex on them and be like we joke around but I just I did curling last night and I have a new respect for curling I think other than in this room other than Hank probably dominating women's slalom I don't think any of us could even come close to be an Olympic athlete no definitely not you guys gotta come up to Lake Placid though you can try a luge skeleton and bobside we'll get you guys on sleds

2:21:05Big Cat:That would be actually really fun.

2:21:07PFT Commenter:I would love to do that. Can you do it in the summer? Not as much, but we can kind of pretend it. We have an indoor facility where we train and stuff, but you're only going to go 15 miles per hour. But in the winter, we can get you going 40, 50. I kind of want to try this now next winter. Yeah, I got to do it. Like a winter grit week. I got to do it. Double luge. Double luge. Max and Hank. Oh, yeah. It sucks that we kind of started liking the Olympics right after they're done. This is what happens every time. Do you have the Olympic ring tattoo? We even remind ourselves that we can like it.

2:21:42Big Cat:Did you get that tattoo?

2:21:43PFT Commenter:Yeah, I got the... Oh, hell yes. I love that. Dude, you have to get it. You can't... That's basically why you go to the Olympics, so you can get that tattoo. What do you think about journalists that... It's like an Iron Man. Yeah.

2:21:55Big Cat:If a journalist goes to cover the Olympics and they get the Olympic rings tattooed, is that inbounds? Yeah, you can't do that one. But the funniest was when I was getting the tattoo, the guy was like, oh, are you a big fan of the Olympics? Wait.

2:22:10PFT Commenter:All right. So along those same lines, what if, hypothetically speaking, one of the idiots that works at Barstool is on a box lacrosse team for Czechoslovakia or Czech Republic or Czech? Yeah.

2:22:23Big Cat:One of those three.

2:22:24PFT Commenter:Slovakia. One of those three. And I have funded their team with some money for jerseys and stuff. and if they're probably not going to make the Olympics but they're going to try to qualify for the Olympics in LA if they make the Olympics and I keep funding the team can I get the tattoo? I think you got to coach them for like a quarter of the game and then I'd say yeah but

2:22:44Big Cat:Also if it's not America I mean yeah if you want to be a trader you can get them I don't give a fuck dude

2:22:50PFT Commenter:listen if you told me that I could walk out in the opening ceremonies I don't care who it is for that would be the coolest thing ever North Korea cat Fine, done, done That would be the coolest experience ever. Is the walkout, is the opening ceremony just, like, awesome? Yeah, it's pretty nails. Like, especially, I mean, this one was cool because it was through Cortina for us. So, it was, like, small town vibe and, like, high-fiving everyone. But Beijing was a massive stadium, and it's, like, it's big American flag waving underneath the Olympic rings. And, like, I was always a big Sean White fan, so I was, like, right behind him walking through it, and that was a cool one.

2:23:29Big Cat:How much free time do you have on your hands during the actual Olympics? I'm sure it varies sport by sport, but you always see some of the people showing up to support the other teams. A good bit for us because we compete in the first few days. Once I finished up on the 11th, I've just kind of been bouncing around and going to different events. I just actually got back from that women's curling game. I don't know if you guys saw that. It was sick. I thought the U.S. lost, but a sick, sick game. The Swiss ladies, they're just assassins. They were just waiting the entire time. They're like, okay, that's cute.

2:24:03Big Cat:We'll go and throw the perfect stone now. Yeah. See ya. It was like full cold face. I don't know what her name is, but their older lady on the Swiss team there, she was a killer. Yeah. She was not messing around.

2:24:15PFT Commenter:Not to bring up a bad thought, but what is it like after the Olympics? Is there a little bit of a, well, damn, I can't believe that's over because it's such a big buildup. And it's every four years. I wish they did the Olympics every two years. It'd be awesome if it was just we always just had an Olympics going on. But is it what happens when you get back and like what happens in the next few months? Are you training right away or are you just like, all right, I can chill out for a little bit? yeah there's like the one week of where you're just like what do i do like for all of it um but then normally i go on vacation and drink enough to not not worry about that and then by the time i get back um back into it so i'll start training again and somewhere in april or so and yeah get

2:25:01Big Cat:back into it are there are there any sick like video games that kids can get into to play like winter olympic sports they used to have the one on wii it was like the sonic and mario or something yeah olympic games we need to make we need to make another one yeah we do there used to be one on like i'm dating myself but like super nintendo and i think nintendo 64 back in the day but we need to upgrade that to to the new generation consoles i feel like if you had an awesome olympic video game like in vr kids would love that shit vr would be sick they should get a vr thing because, I mean, we even, like, trained a little bit VR stuff getting ready because they built this venue just for the Olympics.

2:25:39So you never tried it before, and, like, every other track you try for, you know, eight years in a row, and then this one is, like, brand new.

2:25:47PFT Commenter:How many times do you think you've gone down a lose track in your life? Well, I mean, it's normally, like, 300 runs probably on average every year. So 300 times 14, I'm not too good at math. Neither are we. Yeah, that's a lot. the answer is we'll get that answer to you like i don't know in a week and maybe next olympics hold on i'm i took out my calculator 4200 damn that's a lot of runs have you ever been in the

2:26:11Big Cat:zone in the zone yeah like like everything's going perfect on the track for you yeah once and we won that race so i've i've been chasing that high but it's like it's like golf when you're having a good round in golf where it just like feels so easy it's it's very same vibe yeah yeah Yeah. What was that run like when you were in the zone? I thought like, you know, pulled off, laid down, and then was almost like thinking not at all about luge, and that seemed to work. It was just letting the body do what it needed to. I love that. It's almost like surfing, like a spiritual experience a little bit.

2:26:45Big Cat:Yeah. Yeah. There's some weird flow to luge where if it's going good, it feels very good, but once it goes bad, you find out quick. It snaps you out of it.

2:26:55PFT Commenter:Yeah. have they ever tried triple luge no but once you guys come up we can try it if you want dude what imagine what about quad get the whole podcast on the luge I feel like this is how they invented

2:27:10Big Cat:like the evolution of like shaving razors let's do two blades you know what let's do three what if we did four

2:27:17PFT Commenter:that would be so sick it might be a little top heavy that's our only problem I think the start and how top heavy it is we might flip pretty quick.

2:27:26Big Cat:Yeah. So you just need somebody with like giant legs, like fat ass legs to be the last guy on top. Well, no, you need someone on the bottom, like massive.

2:28:56PFT Commenter:If you went to the Olympics, you have to get it, and you have to have it prominently featured. Every single person would do exactly what you did. That's fair. I appreciate it. Yeah. Well, Zach, this has been awesome, man. We really appreciate you coming on. If you're ever in Chicago, come by the office, and we might take you up on that Lake Placid. It sounds incredible. And we want you to be a part of my Take Athlete because it's like a cool sport. Again, apologies for disrespecting the Winter Olympics in the last two weeks. We do this pretty much, yeah, I think every single time the Olympics come around.

I missed just chanting USA over and over again. We're going to set a reminder next time for the French Alps being like, hey, respect the Olympics before they come around.

2:29:42Big Cat:What we'll do is we'll start talking about the Olympics like two weeks before the Olympics. Yeah. And we'll get all of our hate out.
