Key Discussion Points & Segments
[00:24] – Main Show Kickoff & Episode Structure
- Super Bowl Week is coming to a close; today's show will preview the big game and ramp up the prop bets.
- Big Cat: “We have Fred Warner... and Jake Bobo, the legend himself. Bobo, who will be playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday.”
- The guys tease a loaded NBA Trade Deadline breakdown, plus the return of “Fyre Fest” segments to close out the week.
[02:33] – NBA Trade Deadline Roundup & Rants
Bulls Meltdown
- Big Cat on the Bulls' management:
“They have traded the entire roster essentially... in the last two years. They have netted one single first round pick out of it. Maybe they’re all Jokics. They’re all these second round picks, 14 of them... But yeah, they have an awesome G League team now.” [06:20] - The Bulls’ “rebuild” is widely mocked; their 14 second-round picks become a running joke.
- PFT dubs Chicago’s plan as “like walking around with spare change you can’t use.”
Wizards Trade Hope
- PFT, lifelong disgruntled Wizards fan, becomes “Wiz Curious” after his team lands Anthony Davis:
- “If healthy, look out for the Wiz. Pairing [AD] up with Trae Young—if he can stay healthy. Pairing him up with star Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson... actually a fun team next year.” [12:13]
- Max immediately pushes back: “Anthony Davis is going to be 33... He gets hurt every—”
- PFT: “But what if he stays healthy?” [13:11]
- Endless optimism for Anthony Davis, and managing expectations, devolves into load management/kung fu falling bits, cross-referencing Embiid and NBA injury memes.
General NBA Trade Mayhem
- Other trades covered: Kristaps to Warriors, James Harden to Cavs (“Five teams in six years. Good for him, man.” – D, [20:00]).
- “Every year everyone says it’ll be the wildest deadline, and it never is.”
- Pacers praised (“going to be a problem next year”), blind resumes riffed.
- Running continues: second-round picks as spare change for the Bulls, and “do-gooder” collection jars at 7-Eleven.
[23:44] – Eagles Staff Turmoil & Big Dom Saga
- Jeff Stoutland, Eagles legendary O-line coach, is out. Max and the crew dissect why and what it means:
- C: “Stoutland is like the best Eagles coach in my lifetime.”
- A: “If your system can’t accommodate Jeff Stoutland, it might not be a great system.”
- Interludes on Eagles sideline stories, with frequent Big Dom references—featuring playful accusations (“Hank is on the record saying he hates Italians...”) and how Hank is being hunted by Eagles staff.
- Roan (of Son of a Boy Dad) calls in for classic Philly banter, confirming Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata remain huge, unbothered by staff changes—and that Hank is still in “op territory.”
- The segment closes with elevator run-ins and fans turtling around childhood heroes (McNabb).
[37:57] – Super Bowl 60 Preview: Betting, Analysis, & Jitters
Injury Watch & Matchups
- Seahawks’ Iman Oworowory tweaks ankle, but will "definitely play" thanks to "Super Bowl drugs."
- Patriots' Robert Spillane—now sick, causing concern (“Is Zach contagious?”).
- Tom Brady’s “no dog in the fight” controversy gets its own segment:
- “He just doesn’t want anyone to ever win another Super Bowl again.” [41:46] – A
- Asante Samuel threatens to blow up Twitter if not acknowledged by Brady (“You have 23 hours to respond or it’s up. I’m going apeshit.”) [42:22]
- Team-by-team analysis focuses on run games, each side’s dangerous motivation, and the mythos of Sam Darnold.
- “The first mistake might be game.” – F [49:18]
Sam Darnold Narrative
- Will NFC Championship Game Darnold or Pumpkined Darnold show up? The “Can he win a big game?” meme is recapped and slightly resolved—unless he stinks in this one.
Dumb Stats & Prop Bets Discussion
- “Team wearing white jerseys has won 16 of last 21 Super Bowls.” [54:36]
- Time zone trivia war: Could this be the first time a team wins a Super Bowl in all four US time zones?
- Jets fan memes: “Far happier to see Darnold win a ring than the Patriots get another one.”
- “Scripted” Super Bowl theory: Sam Darnold ghost-graphic revenge arc.
Big Cat’s "Keys to The Game"
- Can Patriots run on Seahawks’ D?
- Can Seahawks interior OL hold up against Patriots front?
- Watch for “pregame Cooper Kupp pho” and “Stefon Diggs game day poop.”
[61:37] – Propapalooza: Super Bowl Props Parlay
- Each host picks five props. Tails gets heavy action.
- Max goes deep:
- “JSN, more receptions than Ohio State made threes against Michigan earlier in the day.” [73:00]
- “Scotty Barnes will have more points than Rashid Shaheed has receiving yards.” [67:15]
- Hank looking for a Mac Hollins receiving explosion in both halves at +700, and a Kayshon Boutte 40+ yd TD at +1200.
- PFT: “Hunter Henry to NOT score a touchdown, minus 340—No Henry.” [69:05]
- Big Cat: “Points scored in Super Bowl plus US gold medals in Winter Games, 58.” [73:58]
- Memes: All-in on two-point conversion/parlay theme, and a “lineman to score” at +2200.
- All props have that perfectly unhinged PMT flavor.
[77:35 / 79:21] – INTERVIEW: Fred Warner (SF 49ers)
Interview Vibes & Highlights
- Fred, fresh off his 4th All-Pro nod, covers his brutal ankle injury/rehab:
- “It’s probably not the best thing that when a guy’s foot was facing the other way, to be like, ‘How fast can I get back?’” – FW [81:12]
- Defense talk: “Always stop the run, make them one dimensional.”
- On Mike McDonald’s Seahawks: “They play all three phases exactly how we play the game. That’s why they’re here.”
- Substation jokes: Big Cat and PFT reference their infamous deep-dive (and PMT-sub legend, “the most divorced guest ever”—[84:33]), with Warner gamely joining the bit.
- On Super Bowl losses: “I would never say I wish I just didn’t play in them. I’ll go back and lose two more. I’m not afraid of losing a Super Bowl.” – FW [101:12]
- Playoff pain, “hate” for NFC West and Eagles, and playful chat about Big Dom’s sideline presence.
- Poised, honest, and fun—Warner’s a model PMT guest and top NFL leader.
[129:33] – INTERVIEW: Jake Bobo (Seahawks)
Highlights
- Opening chaos—Max and Hank thank Bobo for his NFC title game TD:
- Max: “Your catch paid for my wedding—I owe you.”
- Bobo breaks down his route, acknowledges “playing with Jax [JSN] gets me open,” but also claims his “toughest in the run game, best blocking WR” status.
- “Deceptively fast” memes—Bobo ran a 4.99 40:
- “You’re slower than you look.”
- His road: Duke to UCLA, undrafted, nearly went to work at Bank of America.
- “I applied to be a bank teller. Ran a 4.99 and got two calls—one was from the Seahawks.”
- More Bobo origin: “Started as a dig at the defense—how you letting this skinny white kid make plays on you?”
- On Coach McDonald and Kubiak: Both are “guys’ guys,” “I’d have a beer with them, but they’d cut me tomorrow.”
- “Would you fight a grown man for Cooper Kupp?”
- Bobo: “I would die for Cooper Kupp.” [155:02]
- Joke about possible “Bobo” as McDonald’s dog’s name, and the incredible French roots of “Bobo.”

- PFT: Existential dread about AIs “starting their own social network”—“they’re talking about selling their humans.” [165:30]

- The boys riff on the vulnerability of being a large man in a bathtub. [172:30]
