Today is Wednesday, August 20th, and we got some quarterbacks, boys. Daniel Jones is back.
Memes
Indiana Jones.
PFT Commenter
Indiana Jones. So Daniel Jones has won the QB battle in Indianapolis.
Memes
That 2014 AFC finalist banner belongs in a museum.
PFT Commenter
Oh, man, I. I feel like Giants fans should. Should make a presentation for. For the Colts.
Memes
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Being like, hey, here's what you're about to experience.
Memes
So we've noticed.
PFT Commenter
It's an experience.
Memes
So we notice that you're dealing with acute bout of Daniel Jones as your starting quarterback. You can call me crazy. I think he might be good. Better than. Better than you think. Daniel Jones.
PFT Commenter
Okay, here is why he was in.
Memes
The room with Kevin OConnell.
PFT Commenter
Here's why I'm nervous about Daniel Jones. Well, the obvious. He's Daniel Jones. That would be stating the very obvious. I believe this is a decision made under duress by Shane Sten for very on the hot. Very much on the hot seat. And he basically is in the worst place you want to be is an organization where it's like, I'm going to get fired. I got to find a way to eke out like six or seven wins. And Anthony Richardson has struggled, but he obviously probably has more upside. At least he's still.
Big Cat
He.
PFT Commenter
People could still sell themselves on Anthony Richardson, but Daniel Jones gives you a higher floor.
Memes
I think. I think Anthony Richardson might be younger than some of the rookies this year.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
So he is definitely younger than Shador. Yeah, he's still definitely. He's. He's a project. Not completed project. Not even really like he's a project that you have given consideration to starting.
PFT Commenter
He is an Ikea furniture project that you've laid out all of the tools. You haven't started putting anything together.
Memes
What the fuck kind of wrench is this?
Big Cat
Yeah. Oh, shit.
Memes
Did I.
PFT Commenter
You hear that? Like the drop of a. Of a piece of hardware. You're like, fuck Where'd that go?
Memes
I lost something.
Big Cat
Oh, no.
Memes
You turn to page two and you're like, I don't have this. I don't have this piece. Yeah, it's not here.
PFT Commenter
Throw. Throwing with touch. I don't have this piece.
Memes
Daniel Jones would be a project that you. You reach the end of and you're like, he's like fully baked.
PFT Commenter
Oh, this.
Memes
And then you've got 90 pieces left.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
That you didn't use when you constructed it. And you're like, this is going to break.
PFT Commenter
And. And you're also like, this is not looking what it looked like in the showroom.
Memes
Not at all.
PFT Commenter
Like, I thought I bought one thing.
Memes
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
It's basically seeing a commercial for a cheeseburger and then getting it at a drive thru.
Memes
I went to I Purch Manning. I thought I got a Manning and it's a Simeon.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
What.
PFT Commenter
What just happened here? I had the Brooks Brother Manning model. And yeah, we. We ended up with a city.
Memes
And that's TJ Maxx.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
So, I mean, Daniel Jones, when I say he's gonna be good, I, I would be shocked if he was like a Pro bowl level quarterback, but I think he could be serviceable.
PFT Commenter
Don't. There could be like seven or eight people who opt out of the Pro Bowl.
Memes
It's true. Tyler Huntley.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
But I. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't think he's going to be one of the better quarterbacks in the afc, but I do think he could be good enough to win like eight games.
Big Cat
He.
PFT Commenter
I mean, Daniel Jones has had a good year.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
So, you know, it'd be very funny.
Hank
Fast.
PFT Commenter
He is fast.
Memes
He is fastest quarterback and. Well, not inside the 20. He's got like a quarterback field at the 20.
Big Cat
Daniel.
Memes
That is true.
Big Cat
By the way.
PFT Commenter
Did you see this is totally off.
Memes
Not Daniels.
PFT Commenter
Not Daniels. But Daniel. Did you totally sideways here? But did you see we're getting the first Bob in the. In Major league baseball in 15 years.
Memes
That's great. We had.
PFT Commenter
We haven't had a bob in 15 years.
Memes
A bob drought.
PFT Commenter
A. A Tampa Bay Ray is named Bob.
Memes
I love that there's a lot of.
PFT Commenter
Bobs in baseball history, but 15 years, a lot of Bob. What happened?
Memes
Way too long.
PFT Commenter
What about boss?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Itty bitty titties in the Bob. Itty bitty titties in the Bob.
PFT Commenter
So I wonder what those girls are up to these days.
Memes
Probably killing it.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
They're girl bosses. Absolutely.
Memes
But I think with Daniel Jones, the funniest Possible outcome would be if he played, like, kind of. Okay, maybe got to the playoffs. Then they gave him a big contract and they didn't give Jonathan Taylor a new contract. And then Jonathan Taylor went to the Eagles and ruined everyone's dreams.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that would.
Big Cat
That would.
PFT Commenter
That feels like that could happen.
Memes
Now, Anthony Richardson, him and his agent, they're not happy with.
Big Cat
What? Why?
Memes
Because the Colts, they feel like the Colts are giving up on them.
PFT Commenter
Oh, that makes sense.
Memes
I say maybe they're not giving up on him. Maybe they're just encouraging him to kind of, you know, he didn't get a full college experience. He was a young kid. Maybe he needs to do more experimenting.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Maybe try out tight end, see if you like it.
PFT Commenter
Oh, you're getting on your bill poly.
Memes
And getting a little freaky. I don't know. But there is a chance that, you know, something happens. Maybe Daniel Jones doesn't play well at all. And then Shane Steichen, being a coach that needs to save his job, he's like, if I. If I put Richardson in and he happens to play really well, maybe I can stick around for.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, you do have the. Yeah, you have the Anthony Richardson button that you can press.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Which, whereas the Daniel Jones button is not as fun.
Memes
No, it just isn't. It's not really even a button. No, it's just like a. A. A curtain that you pull down by hand. Yeah, it comes out.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it's the old window in the car that you're cranking.
Memes
Yeah, it's a crank window.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
So. Yeah, that was. I think we said that that was going to happen, right? Yeah, we thought that it was going to be Daniel Jones. Who knows? Maybe he did get fixed in Minnesota.
PFT Commenter
Dj, if I were a g. If the agent was mad, I would just play dumb. Like, why are you mad? Yeah, well, you're not playing my. My quarterback.
Big Cat
Like.
PFT Commenter
Oh, okay.
Memes
But, you know.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I. I guess you thought that.
Memes
We were gonna play.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, just like. All right, well, we'll look at it. I'll get back to you.
Memes
That's. That sounds like it says, that's a you problem. Yeah, we're thinking that we're gonna do that.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. See why you triggered, bro?
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Why are you triggered about this? We got a golf cart going by.
Memes
We're at Camp Barstool, and then the Browns.
PFT Commenter
Browns.
Memes
As expected by us, Joe Flacco is starting the season for the Cleveland Browns. Did you see that Stabler was at Cleveland Browns practice? Stabler? Elliot Stabler from svu.
PFT Commenter
Okay.
Memes
Literally from svu. Was at the Cleveland Browns practice today on the sideline, watching.
PFT Commenter
What was he doing? Just hanging out.
Memes
I. I thought maybe they're filming an episode.
PFT Commenter
It might be, I don't know, some Browns. That could be enough.
Memes
20, 25 Browns, presented by Dick Wolf.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, the. The Browns now, like, I hope Joe Flacco goes back to the, to the playoffs. And they're like, what'd you do that last. What'd you do that middle Flacco year?
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Why didn't you have Flacco? Yeah, you had Flacco. You let go, Flacco go. Flaco's back. It's always been Joe Flacco.
Memes
I'm rooting for Flacco.
PFT Commenter
Something about that spiral.
Memes
He's both an entertainer and a competitor.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
It is funny. Now, looking at AFC north quarterbacks. Flacco Rogers, Lamar Burrow.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Is it the division of quarterbacks?
PFT Commenter
Division of quarterbacks. Listen, two guys have. The two old guys have. Have Super Bowls.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
The young guys haven't done it.
Memes
That's true. They both had the exact same number of Super Bowls. People forget that.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
It is funny too. Like, looking at. I. I tweeted that. I think I said it last week. The quarterback ages where I changed Jordan Love's age. But seeing the bottom, where it's like, if you win a Super bowl, you just get to be a quarterback till you're 50.
Memes
Exactly.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
It's pretty.
PFT Commenter
People will always be like, well, you won a Super Bowl.
Memes
And Speaking as a 40 year old, it's important that I see a guy like Joe Flacco out there representing me.
PFT Commenter
That's facts.
Memes
We could still play in the NFL.
PFT Commenter
Other quarterback news. Matthew Stafford might have died.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
I fully believe that. What the, what the Rams have done in that room, the table that they had, what was it called again? It was immortal table.
PFT Commenter
I think it was. I think it was a milking table. A human charger.
Memes
The human charger is actually just a cloning machine.
PFT Commenter
It was one of those 3D.
Memes
They 3D printed a quarterback.
PFT Commenter
You know, you have the iPhone charger, and then you can buy like the pad that you just rest it on. And it never charges as fast as the. The cord. He has the pad. So we need to put the cord up his butt.
Memes
But I don't know if that's actually Matt Stafford. Right.
PFT Commenter
So. So, so a hashtag started, Matthew Stafford died. Or Stafford died weeks ago. And people are running with the theory that he's dead and this is a clone because he finally was at practice on Monday I'm not saying I. I don't believe it.
Memes
I do.
PFT Commenter
There's a 1% chance I believe it.
Memes
Avril Lavigne.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I wonder if he was good.
Memes
So see you later, boy.
PFT Commenter
Do we think this bad. Stafford's good.
Memes
I don't think he's gonna be as good. Copy is never as good as the original. Yeah, some sequels are pretty good.
PFT Commenter
Hank, you. You alluded to you have a hot take. You said you have a take that you wanted to get off.
Hank
I want to double down.
PFT Commenter
Okay. And what is it?
Memes
Oh, no. I know what he's gonna say. Go for it, Patriots.
Hank
Nope. Well, that too, but no, we talked about the.
PFT Commenter
Oh, no, you come on, dude, we're gonna lose fans.
Hank
No, we're not. We should gain fans. It's a football field. It's the same dimensions. It's the same place. People are have it so twisted where it's like, if we want this to be the biggest event in the world, we should have it.
Memes
I don't saying people might have missed Monday's show.
Big Cat
Hold on.
Hank
More people are getting upset with me. The more like they like, oh, play football in America.
PFT Commenter
Take points away.
Big Cat
Football away.
PFT Commenter
It's a football for people who missed Monday's show. Hank.
Hank
There's no difference.
PFT Commenter
Thinks that we should have a Super bowl in London.
Hank
I didn't really care when I said it, but then the reaction really, really made me.
Memes
That's a great sign of maturity to not actually believe your take. But then when people get mad at you, you're like, well, I was like.
PFT Commenter
I said, how was the reaction? I said to suck my dick from the back. And then you went online. You're like, oh, people don't like this.
Hank
Well, yeah, but you guys say that to anything.
PFT Commenter
No.
Big Cat
Poo. Poo. Poo, poo.
Memes
Are you fresh now, Hank, listen, the super bowl is played in America. It's played on a football field in America.
PFT Commenter
Not on a soccer field. Exactly. Point us.
Hank
No, they can bring in football fields. Turf master.
Memes
Oh, yeah, those always work.
PFT Commenter
Shout out to one guy who, like maybe 12 hours after the show came out on Monday, tweeted me so confidently being like, what don't you understand? They'll play the game at 6pm, like Eastern time. It will just be one 1pm in London.
Memes
No, it won't.
PFT Commenter
No, it won't.
Memes
It's going to be 11 o' clock at night.
PFT Commenter
It's gonna be playing a game at midnight.
Memes
It's gonna be 11 o' clock at night, which is gonna suck everyone's clock Is going to be screwed up. That's associated with the game. That's playing in the game. The. The super bowl is played. Don't roll your eyes, America. He's rolling your eyes By American teams. It belongs in America. It does not belong over. It does not belong overseas. Because you're making me so mad, Hank, because your take is so wildly incorrect that. What has Europe ever done?
Hank
Why do they have football games there in the first place?
Memes
What has Europe done to this?
Hank
Why they football games?
Memes
Answer me this.
Hank
Why do we get in Brazil?
Memes
We don't mean that.
Hank
Why do we play games in London?
PFT Commenter
Dude, exactly.
Adam Friedland
What exactly.
Memes
You know what? You either die one of the Brady 4 or you live long enough to become a goodell. And hankadel, you've become a goodell.
PFT Commenter
You're a corporate Hank. Corporate.
Big Cat
Hank.
PFT Commenter
Put a suit on for. For Friday show again. Hank, you do have a desk again. That was actually jarring to see. Hank hasn't had a desk in like a year and a half. And I just walked by yesterday. He like, what the are you doing? You're sitting in a chair. He's like, yeah, I got a desk. Hank, the super bowl, I would say football field. I would make the argument the super bowl is the most important thing we do as a country.
Big Cat
We.
PFT Commenter
We create the super bowl. Every year we have a season, a football season that creates the super bowl. To give that to another country is disgusting. I'm disgusted with you. I want to puke on you.
Hank
Listen, I know it's good. You guys get, you know, pro America, like, you pander sign pro america, bro.
Memes
Yeah, no, it's kind of pro American.
PFT Commenter
But it's more just like, better for the sport.
Hank
It's better for this show. It's better for us. It's better for everyone.
Big Cat
Hank, why don't we.
PFT Commenter
Why the don't we play the masters in. In England?
Adam Friedland
That is literally worst example.
Memes
They don't have football.
Hank
You could have said the u. S. Open because that's played at a different venue every year.
Adam Friedland
The masters.
PFT Commenter
You'd want the US Open if we played in england.
Hank
Well, no, they have the open.
PFT Commenter
Okay, well, they have week eight, Jaguars versus titans.
Memes
Hank, what about the final four? Would you like to see that overseas, too?
PFT Commenter
Yeah, you probably would, you sick pervert.
Hank
No, they don't have colleges.
PFT Commenter
Oh, they don't have college teams there.
Hank
But they have NFL games there. They don't play.
PFT Commenter
Okay, they play. Yeah, they play college games.
Memes
They sure do.
Big Cat
They.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, for sure.
Big Cat
They.
PFT Commenter
They played on the aircraft carrier. Yeah, International Waters, bro.

PFT Commenter
We're done with you guys.
Memes
Pardon my America. Hank, listen, it's okay to take pride.
Adam Friedland
In your country game.
Hank
You're gonna watch it the same way. You're gonna enjoy the same.
Big Cat
It's not.
Memes
Here's why it's not.
Adam Friedland
It is.
Memes
No, it's not. Because it is, because time zones. Because then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, travel becomes a real.
PFT Commenter
Issue for Super Bowl.
Memes
It becomes the. The culture over there becomes. You know how long.
Hank
How far away is on this, Hank?
Memes
You know how long Super Bowl.
Hank
Oh, it takes six hours to get.
Memes
To shut the up.
Hank
It's an extra two hours.
Big Cat
Shut the up.
Memes
That. What's the difference? Because American cities have planned for super. We know how to do Super Bowls.
Big Cat
Yes.
Memes
Well, they don't know how to do that overseas.
PFT Commenter
What if we just did this? What if you just go, go, go to England and play? And also, by the way, someone was said that you. If you think you can play golf in England in February.
Hank
I said the whole time it had nothing to do with golf.
PFT Commenter
But it does.
Memes
But you didn' that it's February.
PFT Commenter
You don't mean that it's February.
Hank
I do mean that.
PFT Commenter
You don't mean that you should want. You should want Super Bowls in America in warm weather climates where you can play golf.
Memes
I.
Hank
That would be selfish of me. And I'm not selfish. I care about the show. I care about growing the show. I care about growing the beautiful game of football, which we all love.
Memes
I heard from a bunch of awls over in England saying, hank, keep it in America.
PFT Commenter
Yep, I heard the same thing.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Max
PFT said pardon my America, which is actually like anti America America.
Big Cat
Yep.
Max
That's like what like a lib would say to someone who's like, very anti.
PFT Commenter
Shut up, Max.
Memes
Yeah, Max, you. You don't want the super bowl overseas either.
Max
No, I do. I think it'd be fun.
Memes
No, you wouldn't know what time to put the show out. You're still trying to figure out what.
Max
Time I figured out I would have more time to put out the show.
PFT Commenter
How much is Goodell paying you guys? Seriously? Because, I mean, you don't have to.
Hank
Worry about Goodell paying. It's this guy, right?
PFT Commenter
I thought so. I thought that until this whole weird thing you're doing, you're maybe. You know what?
Big Cat
Pft.
PFT Commenter
They're just going through a phase. They're lashing out. They want to do a little bra.
Hank
You guys are lashing.
PFT Commenter
We're not lashing out.
Hank
You're closed minded. And you're not realizing the world we live in today.
Memes
I think Hank just realizes that the Patriots won't be in a Super bowl. So he doesn't care. He's like, yes, we'll be in a.
Hank
Super bowl before the Commanders.
Memes
No, we. That's not true either. You want to double down?
Big Cat
No. Double down.
Max
Double down.
Adam Friedland
Double down.
PFT Commenter
Double down.
Memes
I don't think I can afford to double down $50,000.
PFT Commenter
Double down. Put your money where your mouth is.
Hank
What would that mean?
Memes
Talk is cheap.
Big Cat
Hold on, hold on.
PFT Commenter
Double down. But if there's a Super bowl in England in the next 10 years, your. Your. Your debt is wiped clean.
Memes
If there's a Super bowl in England.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
You're not going to wipe that debt.
Big Cat
No.
PFT Commenter
He gets an out.
Memes
If the super bowl is in England, then you have to pay me in British pounds.
Max
I think there'll be more money.
Memes
You never know.
Big Cat
What?
PFT Commenter
That's.
Memes
That's actually very anti American.
PFT Commenter
Do you not believe in our dollar? You don't believe in our dollar?
Memes
In the US Dollar.
Max
Currency.
Memes
Brexit.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Max always thinks that the pounds are way higher than you thought they'd be looking at the scale, buddy.
PFT Commenter

Zach
I think everybody.
PFT Commenter
Weights fluctuate.
Adam Friedland
Everybody.
PFT Commenter
Zach, he's not in this conversation. He's just sitting here like a neutral observer. Okay. What? Max.
Max
I. I have nothing to say.
PFT Commenter
Okay, that's what I thought.
Hank
The field would look the same.
PFT Commenter
No, no, no. It won't feel. It's raining there.
Big Cat
Dude. They have don't.
PFT Commenter
No, they don't.
Big Cat
I think they do.
Memes
You know what? You know what won't be the same? They won't serve beer. They don't serve beer during soccer games.
Max
Yeah, they did serve beer at football game.
Memes
Shut the up, Max.
Max
I'm the only one who's been to a football game in London in this room.
Memes
So would you want the super bowl there?
PFT Commenter
Did they have a dome?
Max
It was fun. I would like to go back.
Hank
Was it in a dome?
Max
It was not in the dome.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, they don't have domes.
Max
Listen, throw a tarp on the roof.
Memes
If you want to play. If you want to play Commanders Dolphins in Madrid during the regular season, that's fine.
PFT Commenter
Have at it. No, One cares.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
That's like a Super bowl in Madrid would be awesome, too.
Memes
No, it wouldn't.
PFT Commenter
You just never want the super bowl in America again. I don't care.
Hank
It's a neutral site every year.
Memes
You want in China?
PFT Commenter

Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter

PFT Commenter
How about Jacksonville? Yes.
Memes
Huh?
PFT Commenter
That sounds good.
Max
Jacksonville's basically a different country.
Memes
No, Jacksonville is the Australia of the United States.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, exactly. We did.
Memes
That'll kill you. Everyone there is a convict.
PFT Commenter
We did a. We did an abroad super bowl last year in New Orleans. Yeah, she is French as.
Hank
I like New Orleans.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I do, too. That's what I'm saying. It's a different country also.
Memes
You ever thought about this? The fans. The fans, Hank.
Big Cat
Yep.
Hank
This is the other point that also is just. People are full of. Normal fans are priced out of the super bowl already.
Memes
But some of them still go to the city.
PFT Commenter
Some of them still go, but it's.
Hank
But they could.
Adam Friedland
Like.
Hank
It's already way too expensive.
PFT Commenter
I disagree with. God.
Hank
It was in 2013.
Memes
It was like six.
Hank
Like I've ever gone, like.
Big Cat
And do a big.
Hank
But it's the same thing. You could still save up and go to one.
Memes
Not everybody has Daddy Portnoy getting you into the game saying, I had to pay.
Hank
I had to pay Dave five grand out of my own pocket when I had no money in my name. I had to pay him like, 200 bucks a paycheck for like four months, max.
PFT Commenter
Were there regular fans?
Max
I. Yeah, okay.
PFT Commenter
Thank you. But rest our case.
Max
I did those same.
Hank
Regular fans could go to.
Memes
No, no, they don't pass. Because you think the Phillips city of.
PFT Commenter
Philadelphia has a passport?
Max
Yeah, I have a passport.
Big Cat
Oh, there you go.
Memes
Max, you don't live in the city of Philadelphia.
Adam Friedland
That's true, but.
Memes
Yeah. Hey, that you. So it's already super expensive to go to the game if you buy a tick. What about getting to. You want them to pay an additional, like, $7,000 to go to the game?
PFT Commenter
7,000. What team's fan base has the least amount of passports? Is it the Jaguars?
Memes
Raiders.
Big Cat
Right?
PFT Commenter
Raiders.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Jaguars.
Memes
Cardinals is a good one.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Memes
Let's see. Maybe.
PFT Commenter
No, because I was thinking, like.
Memes
Like, Bills definitely do.
PFT Commenter
Bills definitely do. Right? Like anything on the border. Vikings. Packers. Yeah, I would.
Memes
I would say the RA prior to the LA move. Steelers, maybe Steelers fans. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Could be up there.
Memes
This is Steelers.
PFT Commenter
Someone's just. Someone's just.
Memes
Yeah, I'm gonna.
PFT Commenter
Someone's just banging because they're so upset with what Hank's doing.
Memes
That's Danny Conrad.
Zach
Is there a world of compromise where.
PFT Commenter
It'S like one here, one there? What did you say?
Zach
Is there a world of compromise where it's one here, one there?
PFT Commenter
Flip third. Why do we have to compromise? Why do we have to compromise with England?
Zach
But hear me out.
PFT Commenter
Then there won a war for it.
Zach
Then there's possibly two a series situation.
PFT Commenter
What do you mean?
Zach
Super Bowl Sunday twice. One here, one there.
Memes
You mean two Super Bowls in one.
Zach
Year, like home and home one here.
Memes
Turning into soccer. It's on aggregate now. God, a road touchdown.
PFT Commenter
I would take it. I would take. I would take a best of three. Super Bowl. Yeah, that would actually rock. In aggregate. Yeah, or aggregate. That would actually rock.
Memes
I. I just. I don't like an extra football. I just don't like the idea. Listen, you might call me too patriotic. I'll wear that close minded. Yeah, whatever you want to call me. I. I think that the super bowl should be in America.
PFT Commenter
At least we're not fucking that just suck off Roger Goodell.
Hank
I mean that's. I mean, you know, I literally got.
PFT Commenter
Arrested a long time ago. Yeah, long time ago. All right. What else do we have? That was good, good, good. I think we almost.
Memes
I actually we've covered everything.
PFT Commenter
We might have gotten supreme debate there.
Big Cat
Yeah, we did.
PFT Commenter
Feelings could have gotten hurt. Well, I think we all got in a chest.
Hank
I appreciate Zach, Zach, Zach having my back there.
Memes
I got the first time. I got one more news story.
PFT Commenter
Okay.
Memes
Before we get into the rest of the show. It's just BYU's new starting quarterback.
Big Cat
Yes.
Memes
So they named a true freshman their starting quarterback. He wears number 47.
Big Cat
Okay.
Memes
He better be running people over like this. Better. This better be a Taysom hill like the 40s.
Hank
No, different number.
Big Cat
What?
Hank
Come on. 41. I don't know if that was the tick tock number.
Memes
All right, so this guy's a true freshman. He's going to wear 47. I'll say this, I'm gonna hate it, but if he's good, it's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be great as a college quarter. NFL, it's not going to work. His name is Bear.
PFT Commenter
Bear.
Memes
B E A R. His name is Bear Bachmeyer.
Big Cat
Oh, that.
PFT Commenter
Wait, he's Hank's younger brother. Well, all right.
Memes
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
PFT Commenter
This guy.
Memes
You ruined.
PFT Commenter
You. I can't be here by this family anymore.
Big Cat
You ruined.
Memes
You ruined the setup.
Big Cat
Why?
Memes
His name is Bear Bachmyer. His older brother is named Tiger Bachmire.
Big Cat
Okay?
Memes
And then their oldest brother is Hank.
PFT Commenter
Can't do it.
Memes
But the pair. I was just thinking about the parents. When they have their, their firstborn child, they had to be thinking, like, we're going to name them like, Tiger and Bear and shit. And then the baby comes down. They're like, not this one.
PFT Commenter
I can't.
Memes
This one. This one's a Hank.
PFT Commenter
I'm sorry I cut you off, but I.
Hank
Government name.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
The last name is triggering to me. Is Hank Backmire still in college? I'm sure he is. He's gonna. I'm going, no, he's not. I'm gonna bet a game on a Saturday.
Memes
He's definitely not.
PFT Commenter
Turn it on. And they're gonna be like, Hank Bachmeyer.
Memes
I think that was too long ago. I don't think. I don't think his brother's still in college.
Hank
It's also probably a family. Like it's named after Tiger is still in college. No, I'm saying, like, they probably named. They probably had to name Henry after, you know, relative. Keep the, Keep the name in the family. And then they're just like it.
Memes
I just think they met the first baby and they're like, nah, this is a. Probably a soccer fan. We're gonna name him Hank. And then second one. Yeah. Tiger is now at Stanford, I believe, which is pretty cool. The most famous guy named Tiger to ever go to Stanford.
PFT Commenter
I'm checking Hank Pochmire eligibility, I think 2024.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
He's done.
Zach
I believe so.
PFT Commenter
He's done. We're done. He played 2019 through 2024. He played a lot of college, but.
Memes
I think Bear, I think he's a true freshman, so he's probably also the youngest starting quarterback in byu.
PFT Commenter
I'm gonna give Bear one chance. Yeah, I'm already set on Bear.
Hank
You can't big out. You put. You put hard earned money on a, on a team and you see a quarterback coming out wearing number 47.
Memes
You don't like 47? I like it. It's a great brand. You're right on the side of our hats right now.
Hank
It's a great brand, great hats, terrible number for a quarterback.
PFT Commenter
By the way, speaking of college football, congratulations to Auburn Tigers.
Memes
Oh, that was going to be my.
PFT Commenter
Oh, sorry. Yeah, we can get to it then. All right, well, then let's do it. Let's get to our hot seat cool throne because you got more stuff to talk about. And then we'll do our Mount Rushmore. Hot seat cool throne is brought to you by game Time. Can someone look up a game for me this week?
Memes

Game Time makes getting tickets faster and easier. Price on the app actually go down the closer it gets to showtime. We're looking at tickets for. What do you got?

I love Game Time, though. I just used Game Time last week. I bought tickets to Commander's Chiefs.
PFT Commenter
I used Game Time yesterday. Yeah, game got rained out, but I used it.

You love the Stars. Love that.
PFT Commenter
Okay, so use Game Time and redeem code PMT for $20 off. We're also brought to you by Mountain Dew. That's why we're here. Nothing says summer like camp, like softball, like late games like Mountain Dew. And nothing goes better with all those activities and hanging with your friends in the refreshing, citrusy kick of Mountain Dew. New cans. Nostalgia. I'm gonna take one right now.
Memes
I'll take one right now, too.
Big Cat
I've been.
PFT Commenter
I've been. I've been having Dew all day. So delicious. Camp day one, been great.
Memes
Softball, awesome time.
PFT Commenter
Contentious, but fun. Max, any thoughts on softball while we're talking about Mountain Dew?
Max
Yeah, no, I got. I was. I was mad.
Memes
Did you get shelled?
Adam Friedland
You guys were lame.
PFT Commenter
Okay? Why? Why were we lame?
Max
Because you went up looking for walks in slow pitch softball.
PFT Commenter
Well, you couldn't.
Memes
You can't.
Max
There were 10 pitches that were like an inch off the plate that you guys were.
PFT Commenter
You missed them all.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Max
That's so lame.
PFT Commenter
Also, let's put a poll.
Memes
Let's throw strikes.
Max
Is it cool for people to go up looking for walks in the first inning of SoCal?
Big Cat
But.
PFT Commenter
But also in the poll, when the guy can't pitch, the pitches were right next to the strike. So it has been great here. Mountain Dew. I have a spin zone for you, Max, as you guys did lose the softball game there was a little. Little back and forth contention going on about seven innings. Nine innings. Thankfully, we went to nine because otherwise Hank would have walked you off.
Big Cat
Okay.
Max
Slow pitch softball. Like there's like.
PFT Commenter
I don't know. I thought that would help. I guess it didn't. Well, this is why we're here. Camp Barstool Mountain Dew. Get. Get everyone fired up. We're gonna be live after the yak on two on Wednesday and Thursday as well. More games to come. The mountain is calling experience the refreshing citrus kick. A Mountain Dew. Grab one today.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
Hot sequel Throne. Oh, by the way, pft. That was a fun Monday Night Football game.
Memes
It was a very fun Monday.
PFT Commenter
Said something about that.
Memes
No, it was great. It had pretty much everything. I was looking for Bill Jacori. Crosky. Merit. I told you guys about him right after we visited Ashburn. This dude is smooth. He's got a great first cut. He's fast. He's got not a lot of wear on his tires because he didn't play last season college football. And he changed his name and he changed. Well, his name's Bill. He goes by Bill. His mom calls him Bill. I'm not gonna say why, because involves Bill Cosby. But his name's Bill and he's awesome.
PFT Commenter
You didn't say why.
Memes
And I love him. And he was. He looked awesome last night. He was a lot of fun to watch. And then Jane Daniels is still very, very fast, very good at quarterback. And he needs to learn how to slide, especially in preseason games because that was scary for me. But then he went and he redeemed himself because after Bill scored his touchdown, Jaden sprints across the field. Because. Because Bill, like spiked it and got rid of the ball. Jaden had the presence mind, grabbed that ball, got it back for his teammate. Here's your first NFL touchdown. That's leadership. Debo looked very fast. He looked very skinny.
PFT Commenter
What did you say? Fast, fast, fast.
Memes
He got. He got skinny through the hole.
Big Cat
Yep.
Memes
To the crease. And Sam Hartman didn't.
Big Cat
No.
Memes
Sam Hartman. Really good looking guy.
PFT Commenter
Happy birthday. Happy birthday. How did Terry play?
Memes
Terry is. Was resting.
PFT Commenter
How were we at with Terry?
Memes
I'm actually more confident now than I was last week.
PFT Commenter
You were at 110 because I think.
Memes
Jaden Daniels, when he was asked about Terry and he was like, yeah, it's just a matter of time before he comes in the door. Hearing Jaden say that, that inspired.
Hank
Well, he's been coming in the door.
Memes
Well, he's. Yeah, he's holding In.
Hank
So he is coming in the door.
Memes
Well, he said he's going to be stepping onto the field.
PFT Commenter
Got it.
Hank
On the field, too.
Memes
He's going to be stepping in between the lines on the field.
PFT Commenter
Got it.
Big Cat
All right.
Memes
I'm glad we cleared that up.
Big Cat
Hank. Yeah.
Memes
I think. I think Terry is going to sign. My prediction, my official prediction. I think he's signing today.
Big Cat
Whoa.
Memes
I think he's signing on Wednesday.
PFT Commenter
Do you have a little birdie?
Memes
No. Inside my own brain.
Big Cat
Okay.
Memes
The. The crazy bird inside my own brain is telling me he's going to sign today.
Max
Remember when you said you were going to go sign him when we went to Commander's camp?
Memes
He wasn't there that day.
PFT Commenter
Yes.
Big Cat
So you.
PFT Commenter
You can't call another signing.
Max
You can't just.
Memes
He would have signed.
Max
Say that you're. You're going to call his signing.
Memes
I didn't call the signing then. I said I would. I would personally. I would personally sign him. But he wasn't there.
Hank
That he was holding in.
Memes
He wasn't at camp that day. He was getting treatment on his ankle.
Max
Oh, that makes sense. His ankle is probably really hurt.
Memes
It's a bad ankle. That's why he hasn't practiced.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Max
But he's still in the pup, right?
Memes
No, he just got off the pump.
Big Cat
Right.
Memes
Just got deactivated from the pup.
Max
So his ankle's fine now.
Big Cat
Yep.
Max
Got it.
Memes
Ankle's good. He will be signing. My prediction is today. But it could not be today. But I'm pretty sure it's today.
Big Cat
Okay. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
It seems like you got a birdie.
Memes
I. I literally have no birdie. There's no birdie involved in this. My only birdie is Jaden Daniels sounding like he was happy about Terry.
PFT Commenter
Context clues.
Memes
But that's a big birdie for me.
PFT Commenter
Like, that's a huge birdie.
Memes
Jaden Daniels is like, what he says. I. My, my life and happiness fluctuates depending on Jaden Daniels mood at any given time.
Max
What about when Jaden Daniels takes like a 15 yard sack and he still like wakes up or stands up smiling like, he's always happy.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
He leads the league in smiles.
Max
So sometimes bad things happen to Jaden Daniels and he still seems happy.
Big Cat
Okay.
Memes
Good quality to have.
Max
No, I'm saying that.
Adam Friedland
But you're.
Max
If you're basing, it's like a deflection.
PFT Commenter
He should have. Terry McLaurin should have signed every day because Jaden Daniels always.
Max
Jane Daniels. Like, I feel like James. Happiness does not dictate, like, things that are going on.
Memes
I feel like you're gonna feel really stupid if I'm right.
PFT Commenter
Well, I. And we. I've been on your side. I think Terry McLaren will sign with the. With the Washington Commanders.
Memes
I think he will. And no, I. There's no birdie. I have no inside information. This is mostly me just wish casting and hoping against hope that works. That's going to get done. Because I don't want to think about going to the season without Terry because that makes me very sad, but would make me very happy is if he signed today and then I'd be happy and then I wouldn't have to hear Max. So that's my.
PFT Commenter
That's.
Memes
That is literally why I'm predicting that he's going to sign today.
Adam Friedland
I like that. I like that.
PFT Commenter
All right, Hank. Your hot seat. Cool throne.
Hank
My hot seat is LeBron James.
PFT Commenter
Oh.
Hank
It's been in the off season. You know, he's old.
Big Cat
He.
Hank
He probably should be taking more time to get ready and prepared and get his body ready and. And he's just spent the whole summer golfing.
Big Cat
Wow.
Hank
He's just not locked in. He's not focused on.
PFT Commenter
We're golf shaming now.
Hank
The task at hand.
PFT Commenter
Wow.
Adam Friedland
Well, I think it's important.
Hank
I think it's like something, you know, that's something for when you're retired, but, you know, in the summer, in the off season. There is no off season in his industry.
Memes
What about ours?
Hank
There is no off season in LeBron's industry.
PFT Commenter
And so, so far, so far in this podcast, you. You've become a Roger Goodell dick sucker who likes.
Adam Friedland
I never.
PFT Commenter
I never go.
Hank
I never once said the word Roger Goodell. You brought him.
Memes
And those are also two words.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And you just did.
Hank
Well, I never said his name before that.
PFT Commenter
Okay. Never said it.
Hank
Never said it.
Memes
Is he getting better?
Big Cat
A little bit.
Hank
I don't know. I haven't. I haven't seen him post a score.
PFT Commenter
Sometimes you talk about Goodell.
Hank
No.
PFT Commenter
Oh, LeBron. Something you have to clarify when you're talking about anyone, if It's Cadell or LeBron.
Big Cat
Okay.
Memes
Your two favorite people.
Hank
LeBron screams. Put me down as a par guy, though.
Big Cat
Oh.
PFT Commenter
Oh, we're really golf shaming.
Big Cat
Oh, no. Okay.
PFT Commenter
And then your cool throne.
Hank
My cool throne.
PFT Commenter
Is Justin Herbert here?
Memes
There's a handicap. He started limping.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Is Justin Herbert Madison Beer? You guys know that is.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
He was on set, like, holding hands with her at our music video shoot.
Big Cat
That.
Hank
That's QB1 activity.
PFT Commenter
I. I agree. I think this is actually Justin Herbert's breakout season.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I like getting the hot girlfriend. He's. Now he's a rock.
Memes
So what's. Tell me about Madison Beer. Because aside from having a great name, is she a talented.
PFT Commenter
Hardly. My college.
Memes
Yeah, no, it literally. It literally translates to.
PFT Commenter
That's what I. That's what I. I did. Went to college for.
Memes
It literally means spotted cow.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
I would say her. Her player comp would be Megan Fox.
PFT Commenter
Oh, that's a good player comp.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
But. But Madison Beer is an artiste.
Hank
She is a. Yeah. Musical artiste. Tweet artiste. Right, Zach?
Zach
Yes. Well, twitch artist, music artist, socialite artiste kind of situation as well.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Now if those photo shoots.
PFT Commenter
I'm gonna go. I'm just gonna go rapid reaction image search Madison Beer.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, yeah.
Memes
Guy loves beer.
PFT Commenter
Yep.
Memes
Taylor's oldest time.
PFT Commenter
Yep.
Hank
So good for Justin Herbert.
PFT Commenter
Looks like a very nice lady.
Memes
Good for him.
PFT Commenter
Good for him.
Memes
So he's probably gonna be happy.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Maybe a little tired. Maybe his. Maybe his wrist will be a little sore.
PFT Commenter
No, no, his wrist won't be.
Hank
Yours will be fine.
Memes
His wrist will be okay. Yeah, I guess probably let.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Less sore than normal.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Yes. When you break up, that's when you're like this guy.
PFT Commenter
He's like fingers.
Memes
Might be IR finger, sore tongue. He might not be able to call out the plays.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Could be. Could have a problem.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Okay, good. Hot seat.
Big Cat
Cool throne. Hanks. Pft.
PFT Commenter
What do you think?
Memes
Great job, Hank. My hot seat today is going to be time. Putting time on the hot seat. Max had a tough time with time on Monday as part of my take. And it might be a Philly thing.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Because John Kruck, during the Phillies broadcast last night, recurring guest of the show. We love John Kruck. He brought up an interesting point that broke a lot of people's brains. He asked the question, how did the person who invented the clock know what time it was?
PFT Commenter
No idea.
Memes
No idea. He just. That guy and that guy just said what time it was and we just all go off that now.
PFT Commenter
This is like thinking about the. About space in the universe.
Memes
Hank looks confused.
Big Cat
It's not.
Hank
Is the answer not the sun.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, but what but. Oh, it's overhead, so it's noon. Why did he say 12?
Hank
Because he realized it took 12 hours or 24 hours to come back up.
Memes
Yeah, but how did he know? In that moment? How did he know? Oh, it's 9:30 right now.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
How did he know it was 24 hours when you didn't know time or how long an hour was or how long an hour.
Memes
I'm done.
Big Cat
There we go. Yeah.
Hank
Checked out.
PFT Commenter
Tap me out, see how it happens.
Memes
Yeah, Pretty crazy.
PFT Commenter
Just a couple follow ups.
Memes
My theory is that it was a guy that was in England and they think, no, no, no revolves around them. And so the guy in England was like, I'm going to declare that now is 9am and the rest of the world has to abide by my declaration because I'm British, that it's 9am and now everyone has to follow that.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. And if they ever decided. My Mountain Dew. If they ever have to decide to do a Super bowl here, the everyone in. In America will have to watch it at noon.
Big Cat
Yep.
PFT Commenter
And that's minor spill.
Memes
That's the story of the clock.
PFT Commenter
Minor spill. That's the story of the clock. He also said on the broadcast if he ever becomes vegan, he wants to be punched directly in the face.
Memes
Oh, did he?
PFT Commenter
John Crock is like, he's the best.
Big Cat
He's.
PFT Commenter
He's the best. He's. We need more John Crux and less Henry Lockwoods.
Memes
Agreed, Fathers.
PFT Commenter
America great again.
Memes
Raise your sons to become John Crux.
PFT Commenter
Not a Henry Lockwood.
Memes
And then my cool throne was Auburn football. Congratulations to Auburn football.
PFT Commenter
Great work, memes.
Memes
Auburn football run. They won four national championships today.
Big Cat
Hold on, hold on. This is.
PFT Commenter
These are not. These are just moving it around.
Big Cat
What is this?
PFT Commenter
What are these? We just made it wetter. A lot more of the area. What you're doing. Moist towelette, lens wipe. Oh, okay. Auburn football.
Memes
They won four national titles today.
Big Cat
Okay.
Memes
World record. They've won four before the season started. So they updated their official national titles. They added a championship in 1910 when they probably played against like Alabama Community Catholic College. The 1914, when the world was at war, 1958. And then most notably, they added 2004. Oh, they're claiming a national championship for 2004. That I believe was the Jason Campbell, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, Auburn Tigers team. They finished the season undefeated, but they didn't get invited to the national championship game. So they just said it. We're national championship. I think they beat Virginia Tech that year, if I remember. So in 1914, Big T looked this up. In 1914, the Tigers finished second place in the Southern Athletic Association. They didn't even finish in first place in their own conference. They're claiming that as A title. In 1958, Auburn finished second in the SEC. Undefeated LSU won the national championship, but Auburn is claiming it even though they went 9, 0 and 1 and tied against Georgia Tech.
Big Cat
Okay.
Memes
And. And LSU won all their games.
Big Cat
Okay.
Memes
So. But this is kind of the beauty of college sports that you can just. You can just claim whatever you want. If you haven't won anything in a while, that's the next best thing. Like remember when A M put up all those national championships on the side of their stadium, you can just say whatever you want.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
You can just claim them.
Memes
UCF did that for a while, so.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Congratulations to the Auburn Tigers.
PFT Commenter
And also current Auburn Tigers are going to do something that I don't know if it's ever been done.
Big Cat
They're.
PFT Commenter
So they have three different quarterbacks going into week one, which that's probably been done. Hugh Freeze was asked about the possibility of playing all three against Baylor. He said yes to that question.
Memes
I love that.
PFT Commenter
And then they also have three different play callers. So they have nine different combinations of play caller, qb.
Memes
This is how they get ahead of the Connor Stallions of the world.
Big Cat
Yeah. What is it? 3.
PFT Commenter
What's the.
Memes
The thing 3 times. 3 times 3?
Big Cat
Yeah, the.
PFT Commenter
No, what do you.
Memes
So 9 times 3? 20.
PFT Commenter
What's the 27 point? The permutation 3.
Memes
I think they have 27 different possibilities of play callers. Yeah, I might have screwed.
PFT Commenter
Oh, no. Nine.
Memes
I thought it was three times. Three times three.
Max
Pemdas.
PFT Commenter
No, because that's three times three. There's only three play callers. Three QBs. We're not a math podcast.
Memes
No, we're not.

PFT Commenter
Tommy Pham is a badass. He obviously fights everyone Remember what was it? I think it was last year. He did a press conference. It was last year or the year before, where. I'll play it real quick. This was him talking about why he does all the fighting in the off season. You know, so I'll never start anything.
Big Cat
But I'll be prepared to finish it.
PFT Commenter
There's a reason why, you know, I.
Big Cat
Do all kinds of fighting in the.
PFT Commenter
Off season because I'm prepared to somebody up. So you can take it as what it is. Yeah, that's Tommy Pham. Tommy Fam also looking for it. Remember, Tommy Fam's been stabbed twice in his life. I think it was. One time was in 2020 at a. Outside of a strip club. And the other time was actually by his stepfather.
Memes
Oh, my God.
PFT Commenter
Because if you read Tommy Fam's Wikipedia, I believe it says that when he. When his mom remarried when he was five, he never got along with his stepfather. They were always at odds. And then he ended up stabbing him when he was his stepfather. Stabbed Tommy Fam in a fight.
Memes
Yikes.
PFT Commenter

All right, Zach, My hot seat. My hot seat today. Me along with the other Buccaneers fans. We've talked about this before on the show. So Desmond Watson is running out of time to lose the weight. I don't know if you guys saw the video from today where he's playing with like the. The practice equipment. Just like kind of shadow boxing on the sideline. Ross final roster, I think for 53 man rosters are August 26th. He can join. I think it's. He can join a. What's the word? I'm missing the word. Practice squad reserve list for 21 days to try to get the weight off. It won't take a roster spot, but they don't have to pay him.
PFT Commenter
What was he.
Big Cat
What.
PFT Commenter
Where was he drafted? What round?
Zach
I think it was undraft.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
My question is why. Why was he able to play at Florida but not at Tampa?
PFT Commenter
And also what is the Bucks plan? Like, why wouldn't you. Like, he's fat. Dude's fat. He's not gonna lose weight. Why would you at least see what he has?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Zach
I think playing football is a good.
PFT Commenter
Way to lose the weight.
Zach
So I don't know why he's just playing with the equipment on the sideline. It was. It was a tough video to see. And I just want to see if he can get the weight off because now I'm invested.
Big Cat
Yeah. Guy.
Memes
I am. But like, he was playing at Florida. Right. He was a consistent football player there. What about that did they see at the NFL level? And they're like, we're not even going to let him practice.
Zach
Maybe it's like an insurance thing or like a liability.
Memes
Like if you're.
Zach
If the doctors say we really can't clear you, then yeah, they can't let him play.
Big Cat
Yeah. It's weird.
PFT Commenter
Okay.

My serve was dialed in at the start. It fell off a little bit at the end. Hank was making me run his drop. Hank would hit every shot. He would hit back to me. He would say drop shot, and then it would, like, land, like, 30ft back on the court. Every shot was a drop shot for him, but it was a battle.

Yeah, you're here. You've done the car wash.
Adam Friedland
I just went through the whole. The whole junket today.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
So how. I mean, how's it going? The Adam Friedland show is awesome.
Adam Friedland
Thank you, guys. Thank you.
Big Cat
Yeah, it's good.
Adam Friedland
It's going well.
PFT Commenter
It's taking some weird twists and turns, it feels like, but it feels like you've. You've landed at a. I don't know how.
Adam Friedland
It's. It's a Sort as a joke.
Big Cat
Right? Right.
PFT Commenter
You guys were doing it as, like, almost a satire of. Of radio stand up or to make.
Adam Friedland
Like, the least popular gu Of a podcast for ugly men into an intellectual style. Public. Public intellectual in the vein of Dick Cavett, I think that was like. But then, yeah, eventually, credit to Nick. I mean, Nick. Nick was the one who. Who pushed the idea because after SOV left, I was like, nikki, we have a brand. Let's just keep doing Cometown. He's like, no, you got to listen to me on this one. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, like, history kind of bends to that to Nick Mullins, Will.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
But yeah, credit to him. It's. I don't know. I kind of the. I don't. I couldn't really say how it happened. I do think it was the first time I tried at something.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Very lazy guy. For a long time, I was like, you know, I was the third mike on a come podcast.
PFT Commenter
But that was also the beauty of Cometown. You guys. You guys basically always made it. I mean, even doing, like, alarms to be like, all right, we've gone an hour. We're done now.
Big Cat
And.
PFT Commenter
And, you know, talking to Stav, like, you had a podcast that made so much money, and it still was tough to be like, hey, can we record this?
Adam Friedland
No, no. We would argue about what we're having for lunch. We didn't think it was good. We would be like, that.
Memes
That sucked.
Adam Friedland
This sucks. I didn't. I literally didn't know it was funny.
Memes
That was some of the funniest parts, though, like, when you guys are like, this. This podcast sucked.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
We're like, you were very sucks.
PFT Commenter
Wait, was there a moment, though, when you realized, like, oh, this is funny.
Adam Friedland
Or like recently in the last couple years, I've heard on like my YouTube algorithm. I get like a compilations and I'm like, that was. That was amazing. Yeah, I was like, that was incredible. I mean, like, they were like, Nick was on. He was a genius. He was the funniest guy of all time.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
No, I mean, it was. It was so funny. I. I literally. It made us miserable.
Big Cat
I.
Adam Friedland
We had no idea.
PFT Commenter
That's a great feeling, though, because I have the reverse where I see like a tweet from like six months ago. I'm like, that was the dumbest thing ever. So you have the. The opposite of that where you're like, holy. That was incredible what we did.
Adam Friedland
Well, yeah, I mean, it's. I think it's like also like, when you're doing something, it's like. Like irony is like you. It's like you kind of protect your feelings a little bit where it's like, if it sucks, it's like, well, fucking.
PFT Commenter
We were trying, right?
Adam Friedland
Yeah, like, fuck you. Yeah, it's your fault for listening, you fucking losers.
Big Cat
And then.
Adam Friedland
But like, now that, like, the new show is like, so work intensive and I'm doing like seven days a week, it's kind of the first time I've ever tried in my life at 35. It's like, if you're trying as hard as you can and then someone. You suck, it really hurts your feelings. Yeah, like, I know. I like, it's like a little bit like if you're like, you made it to the NBA. If you're like, on the end of a bench in the NBA and like, you know, the phenomenon of sports fans, like, we're fat. We're fucking losers. We're watching and we're like, that guy's a. That guy's a fucking loser. Like, and he's like, fucking top level athlete.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I mean, it must be so annoying for them, but like, yeah, now if you try and you. You're really making yourself, putting yourself out there. It's scary, but it seems like it's been going well. It seems like it's. It's going good.
Memes
I feel like I talked to a lot of people who were fans of the Cometown podcast that are now massive fans of your show. But with Thumbtown, there's like, there's a huge audience out there for it.
PFT Commenter
Who's.
Memes
Who's like the most surprising guy that you found out was a comeboy?
Adam Friedland
I don't know. You find out sometimes. Yeah, I mean, I think, like, I don't know. I. I think Reese, who. Like, there are famous people, I guess, that liked it. Yeah, it's always a surprise. But, yeah, it's cool. Like, when. When you find out that people were listening to it. I don't know. I'm trying to think of who or if it's lame to say people's names. I think, like, probably Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
He didn't think you were doing irony, though.
Big Cat
No.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, he took it literal.
Adam Friedland
He took it very seriously.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Memes
The new show's awesome. I love it. I've watched, I think, almost every episode of it. When it came out, I feel like Nick was. He. He filled a very valuable role that maybe didn't always translate on camera all the time, which was like, he was letting you know that you can do it.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
He was gassing you up. Yeah, keep going with this. This is funny because you. There would be times in interviews you, like, want to pull the plug on whatever angle you were taking. He was like, no, keep going. This is good. And it ended up being great.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, I did well, I think. I think I didn't know how to do interviews right. Like, and the only reference, like, from doing stand up, you have to, like, interacting. One like, is like, I guess crowd work, where you're like, what do you fuck? What you. What do you do for a living? They're like, I'm a fucking, you know, like, speech pathologist for kids with, you know, disabilities. And you're like, you're fucking pedophile. It works right out. It's funny. It's funny.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
But it's, like, naturally, like, mean. So, like, so when I started the interviews that, like, I think Nick actually gave me the best advice, which was, like, obviously couched in, like, I thought it was an insult.
Big Cat
Right?
Adam Friedland
But he's like, why you take this fucking affect when you're doing the interviews? I was like, oh, go ahead, criticize me again. He's like, no, you're like a nice guy. You make people feel good to be around that. That's why I encouraged you to do this. Like, and he's like, I wouldn't. I don't have that quality.
Big Cat
And.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, and so I. I had to, like, figure out, like, what. What about me is, like, it is. Could translate over to this. And I kind of, like, I googled journalism, literally. I read the Wikipedia page for journalism. And then I. And then I. What?
Big Cat
I.
Adam Friedland
Then I tried.
Big Cat
Why.
Adam Friedland
I was like, who's good at interviews? And so then I watched. I was like, maybe Joe Rogan. I watched. And what he does is like, the guest always feels like they're crushing. So he'll have Bernie on one week, and then he'll have, like, a guy that says the Holocaust didn't happen the next week, but both times, he's like, that's fucking trippy. You're like, yeah, but like, when naturally, if you feel like you're convincing the host, you're gonna get more and more and more.
Memes
I think, on a roll here.
Adam Friedland
He's like. He's very agreeable. Right? And so for me, it's like, I can't do my fucking, like, sarcastic, dumb Jewish. Like, oh, yeah. Like, I can't do it. Like, so. And then I was like, who else is good? And then I watched. I've actually watched a lot of Stern. I think that that's. Yeah, that's. I grew up listening to a lot of Stern and kind of what he did the first, like, 90 seconds to two minutes. Like, he. He was like. He would become your best friend, right? He was like, you're a huge star. Everyone wants a piece of you. You're incredible. And, like, he'd flatter and he'd like. And then he'd be able to get anything he wanted.
Memes
And again, first time he fingered a chick.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Oh, did you do her? Yeah. I've been going back through watching a bunch, and he always talks about doing girls. Yeah, I would do her.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I just watched the Miss Butter Face competition.
PFT Commenter
Oh, yeah. It's been going viral.
Adam Friedland
It was going viral on Twitter, and I was like, I forgot about that one. Yeah, I watched the full one. I was like, it's so mean.
Memes
So mean.
Adam Friedland
When Gary insults a woman, there's something that's so repulsive about it. When Baba Booie thinks that he could tell.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I wish your body was a little bit tighter. Sweet. It's like, Gary, you look disgust. You're one of the ugliest men I've ever. My entire life. Just. Yeah, we. It used. We used to. We used to have a great country. If we lived in a great country, folks, before these vaccines and these goddamn cancel whatever. No, no. But I realized that kind of, like, the way I would. Had to find a way to ingratiate is just to, like, kind of self deprecate, I think.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Which is, like, that comes naturally to me. And I've been doing that my whole life. So I'm like, you know, if I have a guest, and I'm like, listen, I'm. I crap my pants on a podcast called Come Town. Like, you don't have to. You can kind of drop your guard.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And then like make kind of. Kind of then have more interesting conversations.
PFT Commenter
I also think the. The set that you created is like a big piece of it that's very.
Adam Friedland
Underrated where it's like a public affairs.
Big Cat
Right.
PFT Commenter
It was intentional.
Big Cat
It's.
PFT Commenter
It's almost like Kramer, when he. When he bought. Was the Merv Griffith.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Like, it's. It looks ridiculous in what. I don't know what the whole room looks like, but I assume it's just a regular small room in New York City.
Adam Friedland
No, it's pretty big. I mean, it's like an office space and like.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, but when you sit on it, there's got to be a little bit of like.
Adam Friedland
It's ridiculous.
PFT Commenter
Almost like we're doing like a make believe. That would get someone a little bit more comfortable. Like, this can't be that serious.
Adam Friedland
I remember that we. We were doing like, we would do the podcast too, like when Nick. Nick and I were like, doing it together. Nick. Nick's working on other stuff right now and was so. So Nick and I would still do the podcast to like, kind of pay for it. And I guess the new. Now that, like the new chapter, the Adam Freeland show, is like. We were sick of fucking podcasts. It was like nine years of this shit and I've like, demeaned and humiliated myself for years. I was like, I want to try something and I wanted to be like a little bit more sincere and high effort and like, kind of like challenge myself to do something good. And so. But like, so then I was like, I gotta make the monetize kind of the talk show. But Nick and I would still do the podcast there. And I think, like, there's a. I think it's. There's a clip of it somewhere online. The two of us were like, a girl walked in. Like a woman, like, who needed a bathroom key and walked in on us. Us, like sitting on.
PFT Commenter
Sitting on this set.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And like, there were no camera operators. We're alone in a room. She's like, what is this like a. Like a talk show where, like, it's like a talk.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Mentally ill people just like.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
The mics weren't even plugged in or something. Like.
Big Cat
Yeah. We're like, yeah.
Adam Friedland
There were just two men sitting.
PFT Commenter
That's crazy.
Adam Friedland
In a facsimile of the Dick Cavett show set for the 1970s.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Just playing make believe, like in this room. But yeah, I mean, it's. It's cool. I mean, like, it's become a real thing and like, we're booking, you know, the. It's easier to. I think you guys probably understand this too. I mean, you guys have a huge show, so maybe you guys didn't experience this as much, but like, for my purposes, like Trump doing, I think during the last election, doing like Rogan and Theo and stuff like that, it kind of legitimized a platform.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
So, like, booking people to do the Internet three years ago was like a seller. And I think now it's like, there's like, it makes sense to people's like.
PFT Commenter
Publicists and like, it's very normalized. And it's also. There's going to be the clips and everything that comes out of your show is going to be seen by more people, like Jimmy Kimmel or.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
So, Wendy. Well, I actually have a question about Nick. So he left. He's working on other stuff. Were you worried when he left? Because that was kind of. It always felt like cometown happened. Cometown was incredible. Then you guys went right into the Adam Friedland show. So it's like, oh, this is kind of still cometown. It's like the basis died.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
We're still there doing this.
PFT Commenter
Weird.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
They publicly claim they're gonna make a television show and they have no idea how to make a television show.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I think it was pretty interesting kind of that in that area.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Band going basically like, oh, this is their disco era.
Adam Friedland
But we didn't know.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Like, literally we were like, how does a camera. What's a camera?
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
But now that.
Adam Friedland
Nick, what wires do you need?
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Did you feel a little. When he said that he was gonna leave, we're like, oh, now this is kind of the end of a chapter and I'm losing.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Big Cat
Him.
Adam Friedland
I think it was like, you know, we're adults.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
You know, like, he's like, you know, like, this is. I found this thing, the talk show. And like, he was getting sick of doing podcasting. Both of us were getting sick of doing the podcast. We were both like this. And it was like. The nice thing is that like, you know, now we, I mean, we've like, we, you know, we're chilled. We're very young men starting. Starting the podcast. We didn't. We do. We didn't know you can make money from a podcast. And then now we're like middle aged men. And I kind of. It's like for the first time, I was like, yeah, I want to, like, you know, I want to I want to put it all on my shoulders, and if I Up, that's awesome. It's on me. If I did good, it's on me. I mean, it's a good feeling.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Have there been, like, TV networks that have reached out to you to say, why don't you come off the Internet? Why don't you come to us?
Big Cat
Huh? Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I mean, the nation states.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
PFT Commenter
I was going to say, when are you going to become an industry plant? No, they're going to try to get you to do that.
Adam Friedland
Israel's been, like, hitting me up nonstop, but I don't know, it's a little dicey these days.

PFT Commenter
So you said that people have reached out, like, actual networks, because there is.
Adam Friedland
I don't know. We, like. I don't know, because I was waiting for the DNC money. I really thought I was gonna get that goddamn call. Yeah, listen.

Adam Friedland
I will. I will do it for anyone. But no, the DNC never called me. I. I don't just. I. I guess no one. No one wants me. I think at this point, it's like, the concept was always, like, to make something real and then sell it, but I don't know if in this day and age, like, I have the ability. I'm like, I have, Like, I'm not gonna sell my. My. I. The show. And they own it now. And then I get canceled.
Big Cat
Right.
PFT Commenter
And you're also. Then it's not real, because then you have someone telling you what you have to do.
Adam Friedland
You have, like, standards and practices and lawyers. Yeah, Like, I have to. You know, I could. I could make anything I want, really. And, like, I get to adhere to whatever.
PFT Commenter
Don't give up that freedom.
Adam Friedland
And it's. But I think also, just if anything, like. I think if you, like, see, like, them boys down in Austin, it's like you kind of also make more money.
Big Cat
Maybe be.

Adam Friedland
Because it's like, I'm like a white guy. Like a white boy my age. I was like. I've been talking like him my whole life. Just, like, behind closed doors in a Jewish summer camp scenario. We're like, yeah, we're putting on fitted and stuff. I felt a little bit like. And I had to tell him, like, yeah, off top. I was like, listen, I'm nervous right now because I used to. I used to wear Mitchell and Ness in a Jewish context and pretend. And he's like, that's love. That's hip. That's real hip hop. Yeah, I. I don't think it is, but thank you.
Memes
I remember before Dave went on your show, we talked for.

I think Dave thought it was come down.

Yeah, I think he might have thought.
Adam Friedland

Adam Friedland
I love researching. Researching Dave and knowing what to expect.

Adam Friedland
Well, yeah, you want to know. You want to make something comfortable. Yeah, I don't I don't know if I did with Dave, but like, I think, I think with Dave, like, I think historically maybe like, like when he looks at me, he's like, historically, that's all like, that's a gay. And then I like, knew. I knew ball, right?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And he's like. And I think if the gay, if, if gay. If a gay knows ball is like, am I gay? Am I gay? I think I just, like, I broke his brain.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I think he was expecting. Not that, that. And then I was like, you know, like, I asked him if he, he's read poor noise complaints. Everyone asking me that.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, no, that was, that was, I love doing it.
Adam Friedland

PFT Commenter
So why did he get mad at you?
Adam Friedland
I think that he just knows how to argue. I think that he was just like, I, I think which is like the, the language of like me arguing with another Jewish guy. That it's, it's like I've been doing it my whole life with other Jewish people.

PFT Commenter
They've done it to Stobby, too.
Adam Friedland
Maybe they lost because they offered nothing.

And I was like, you talked to three Holocaust deniers and then me, I was like, what do you mean they're experts on Israel? Is it like. That's a.

Well, the thing about them is, like, they literally. That's the interesting thing. And that's what, like, when I interviewed him, like, I talked to him about it, but, like, is that like in the world today?

Yeah, they thought this was gonna work.
Adam Friedland
They thought this was good pr.

To see Jews bad at PR like this, that is really the offensive part to me. Like, this is. This is a thing we invented. We're good at lying and being sneaky. We used to be sneaky. I miss what our thing used to be. Hiding. We used to be, like, one of my favorite Jews ever, Anna Frank. She was one of the best hiders in history. What happened to hiding? Now we're going to the Army. If I told my mother I was going to Afghanistan after I graduated high school, she would have killed herself. We're not supposed to go to the Army.

PFT Commenter
Just weak ass fouls and pick up basketball.
Adam Friedland
I just want to know what he. I don't, I want to because it's like, you know, I guess he was in the campaign last, last time but we really just haven't heard from him. And it's like, I just want to know what, what his, his, his deal is.
Memes
The last thing I heard from him was he got accused of like inventing the dossier behind Trump. The Russian dossier.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Memes
And like being a big part of that and like pushing that forward. Was that him investigating him? And then he released a statement which he never does. He's not like, he doesn't ever really come out and say anything but he was just like, hey, didn't do this. This is bad because they, it took him being accused of treason and like threatened with the death penalty for him to be like, I had to do that. So I think wherever he is, he might just be off the grid all the time.
Adam Friedland
I think he's in Martha's Vineyard.
Memes
Yeah, he's just chilling.
Adam Friedland
I think he's just water skiing.
PFT Commenter
He's golfing.
Adam Friedland
Just chilling and just golfing. That's. I don't like that. I feel like there's has to be something inside of Obama.
PFT Commenter
It is weird when you Say it.
Adam Friedland
Because there has to be in his brain, which is like, where he's like, watching this and he's like, like, let me be. God damn.
Memes
Get me back out. No, because he's hoping that Trump runs again.
Big Cat
Yeah.

Adam Friedland
They don't. If they're looking at me and stop. They don't have.
Big Cat
Okay.
Adam Friedland
He's the one. He's the one talent they have.
Memes
Yeah. I. I always say that if you want to be president, you should never be president. And that's the problem that we have is like, the mindset that it takes to get to that position.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Is just absolutely insane.
Adam Friedland
I'm probably gonna have to do it.
Memes
It's not.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Memes
You need a reluctant president such as yourself.
Adam Friedland
I made that. I made that joke to my girlfriend. I was like. I was. Because I've been, like, interviewing these people. I was like, these people are like, you're supposed to. I thought they were like, supposed to. I. I'm expecting them to cook me. Right. And that I'm like, finding that they're, like, way less impressive, you know, than I would have thought a politician should be.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Like, doing crowd work preps you for that a little.
Adam Friedland
I don't. I'm not a crowd work guy. I'm terrible at it. I mean.
Memes
But you've done it.
Adam Friedland
Well, just in, in me asking them a question. They like, I've. They get flustered.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. No politicians in your head. Adam Friedland.
Adam Friedland
It's like, you know, it's like not in your head.
PFT Commenter
When, when you're like, younger, you're like, politicians, those are the, like, those are the adults in the room. And then you realize, like, no, they're just fucking idiots who are, like, addicted to power.
Adam Friedland
No, but they're supposed to be able to, like, you know, dance around.
Big Cat
Right.
Adam Friedland
And deflect and stuff. And sometimes I've, like, asked a question.
PFT Commenter
They're like, like, dude, I'm not even.
Big Cat
Come on.
PFT Commenter
I'm not even trying.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I don't know. I'm an idiot.
Memes
I think since media has become so fragmented where you have, like your friendly shows that you do, they all just go on their friendly shows and get some softballs. So they're not used to having somebody ask them, like, any sort of follow up question for anything. So when you do, you scramble their brains.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I think. Well, also there with, like, the Democrats, they're used to, like, just Doing the like. Like the, like Anderson Cooper. And they're like, well, Anderson. And then they, like, give the talking point thing. And then they're not used to actually having a conversation about this stuff, like, in a. In a different context. And I think it's like. Like when I found. There's one I did last week that was like. The guy was like. I said to him, I was like, you sound bad. Like, I was like, I'm not even saying that in a mean way, but you can't say that in front of people.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Like I said, I was like, you know, like, you.
Big Cat
You.
Adam Friedland
You know, I asked him about, like, one of the people that, you know, donors to, you know, private donors that he's taking money from, and he's like, well, I can't decide, you know, when people like me. And I'm like, you can't. It doesn't sound like a good excuse.
Big Cat
Yeah, no, right.
Adam Friedland
Like, maybe it's like, if you don't need that money, you. You're in a safe, blue district. Maybe you don't have to take money from the real estate lobby.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
You know, maybe you don't have to take money from Black Rock.
Big Cat
Maybe.
Adam Friedland
It sounds like you're not doing what's the right thing.
Memes
Call George Clooney. He'll help you.
Big Cat
Yeah, exactly.
Adam Friedland
Come on, bro, just lie.
PFT Commenter
Just chill.
Adam Friedland
Cheat.
Memes
I do like how everybody watched the debate last year and was like, well, this isn't going to work with Biden. And then the Democrats were like, well, let's hold on. Let's give it a sec. Then George Clooney was like, I don't think it's going to work. Like, okay, George Clooney.
PFT Commenter
He called me Leo.
Adam Friedland
Well, they said that it was Obama that kind of like, with that. That pulled the trigger on the.
Big Cat
On clues.
Memes
He put Clooney up to it.
Big Cat
Yeah, that.
Adam Friedland
That was the background. That's what I've heard. But that in the background, Obama was trying to get Biden to drop out for a while. Well, and that. I think it was like, just.
Memes
It's.
Adam Friedland
I think in retrospect, it's kind of just these families that don't like each other.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And then I think Dr. Jill's a baddie. Dr. Jill was like, you, we're not gonna do it. So then the Democrats rolled out like a mentally enfeebled septuagenaria. I mean, that was, like, embarrassed. Do you remember thinking, like, for. It's. But it's, like, embarrassing for America.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah.
Adam Friedland
Like, everyone's watching that. We look like idiots.

Adam Friedland
Dude, I. I rewatched the.
Big Cat
The.
Adam Friedland
What was it? The Corn Pop video the other day.
Memes
Oh, yeah, that was a good one.
Adam Friedland
And I. First of all, that was, like, 10 years.
PFT Commenter
Which one was that?
Memes
It's not even the craziest part. The craziest part was him talking about how the kids used to play with his leg hair.
Adam Friedland
They used to. They used to rub my hair up and down. And he's, like, around all these little kids in, like, bikinis and stuff, and they're so bored. He's, like, at a pool, like, and it's the opening for a pool in Delaware where he used a lifeguard, I guess.
Memes
And I think it's an integrated pool. So there were some African American kids that were there that. I think the message behind it was they had never seen. Seen white person's leg hair in the water before. Yeah. Just enamored by it. And so he was, like, sharing this story as a touching part of his youth growing up.
Adam Friedland
And then his brain just goes on this tangent about this, like, rough customer named Corn Pop who he calls Nan. He calls him Mary because he had a. Because he had a. Because they used to put the pomade in there and, you know, put the pomade in your hair. And. And I said, get off that diving board, Nancy or Mary or something. He's, like, homophobically abuses a gang member, and then the guy threatens him with a. With a.
PFT Commenter
With a switchblade.
Adam Friedland
A. A straight razor.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Probably a comb. West side Story.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Like, yeah. He's like, you know how they used to put the straight razors and put them. Knock them on the curb, you know, get him Rusty. Put them in a barrel. And there's just all these bored kids in bikinis being like, what the is this guy talking about? Put it in my barrel. Get him rushedy. And then.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And then he tells his. Where that. The engineer at the pool. The guy that, like, there. The pool engineer is like. You go out there and he gives him a. Some chain, and he's like. And he, like, goes up.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
He goes to his car with a chain wrapped around his. And then Corn Pops. Like, he's like, I apologize for calling you Mary.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Now, that would be. It would be an awesome story to hear your grandfather tell.
Big Cat
Yes. Yeah.
Memes
Like an old, senile grandfather. Be like, my grandfather was a badass.
PFT Commenter
Oh, but it was great. I remember the one when he just said he called the guy fat. He's like, listen, fat.
Adam Friedland
Listen, fat. It was really sad. In the end, it was great. When he called Zelensky Putin, he's like. But on stage, he was like. He said it like. It was the music guest on snl. He's like, ladies and gentlemen, Vladimir Putin. It was the wrong one.
Memes
It was the opposite. Let me ask you this. If so, did you see the visual from this weekend when it was Trump and it was Putin and the. In Alaska, the B2s, the F35s flying overhead?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Do you think that Trump would have gone down in history as. As the best American president of all.
Adam Friedland
Time if he bombed himself?
Memes
If he bombed. If he called in a strike on himself and Putin and just killed both of them, and he wrote a letter to America being like. And it's like the end of Tale of Two Cities. It's a far, far better thing that I have done.
Adam Friedland
I think. I think. I think that. I think you're absolutely right.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I think there's no way around it.
Memes
That that would beat the Trojan horse. That would be the top military sneakery of all time. I think.
Adam Friedland
I think.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I mean, that would be insane.
PFT Commenter
Say, was a fake Trump.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
It turns out it was a fake Trump.
PFT Commenter

And you just see like the, you know, number 48 guy versus like the, you know, like a guy that want to play in tournament and they're like just playing their like hearts out.

PFT Commenter
Like, I feel like that happens a lot in tennis specifically.
Adam Friedland
He's. Well, first of all. Yeah, it's like, it's a, it's a, there's a psych, it's a psychological game.
PFT Commenter
And it's also a game like you like, you have to start very young and there's no team aspect. Exactly. So it's just very much like your dad's your coach and he's just wearing you down as a five year old.
Adam Friedland
Well, also, but his dad was like, his dad was Iranian and his dad was a degenerate gambler and he grew up in Vegas. And he'd like, make, I was telling you, he make. He'd make him play a man and he'd be like, and he like, you know, it was like 11 and he'd be like, if you lose, we're gonna lose our house.

I mean, that's a crazy to immigrate to the United States and then be like, I gotta live in Vegas.
PFT Commenter
You gotta go to Vegas.

PFT Commenter
That's right after they had the Invincibles.
Adam Friedland
They went invisible.04.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. So that's the worst time.
Adam Friedland
I've never seen anything good happen. Yeah, I mean, it really is. Is.
Big Cat
It's.
Adam Friedland
It's made me. I think it's a reminder every year that you're going to die one day. The saying is, it's the hope that kills you. And it's just like every single year, they do it again. Last year was a wash. Everyone got hurt. It was just like, we. Everything that was. Could go wrong, went wrong. And we're like, we go again next season. And then we, like, accidentally, like, made the champions. We, like, were facing Real Madrid in the. In the quarters, and I was like, oh, we have to put.
Big Cat
Never.
Adam Friedland
Every. The whole world loves to laugh at us because our thing is that we always, like, our pants fall down in front of the whole school, you know, And. And they just. They love to, like, see that happen. And.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And then I saw probably, I think probably my. The best thing I've ever seen, which was us win that quarterfinal against Real Madrid and, like, win at the Bernabeu. And, like. And. And I was like, this season might not be over. I was like. And then just. We got shitted on by PSG in the quarters.
Memes
How'd you become an Arsenal guy?
Adam Friedland
I was a gap year program, and, like, half the. There were a lot of Arsenal supporters, and the first year I watched, they were like, I'm a Laker fan. It Was like the two best teams are Arsenal and Man.

Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And like Thierry Henry was what my favorite player. Like my first favorite on reverse, Wayne Rooney. And like, well, like Henri was like no one has played the position like he did. I mean he was just there. He was the best I've ever seen as a center forward. And yeah, they were like. They just had cool guys and they played in a. They played a beautiful way.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And. But for 20 years I would just see us get do like just laughed at and on. And like Jose Mourinho would give a press press conference and call like our. Our manager, Arson Wenger would be like, he's gay. And everyone's like, ha, ha ha ha. He sucks. Fuck you. And like just every time something good could happen, it would like. But it was like. It's this weird thing is because I. I can't go to the. Like they had the pub. Like they have Arsenal pub.

Memes
Thank you for being honest about that.
Adam Friedland
It really doesn't feel the same with him. And it's like. It just. It's a. An emotional thing, I guess. I think, like, he's just not gonna be my guy and, like. But it's fine. I still, like, he's really good. I. He's 40, like, and he's this good still. And, like, we're still making fun of him and laughing at him.

PFT Commenter
We make fun of LeBron, but at the end of the day, imagine, like, the type of brain you would have if from 15 years, like, 15 years old. For the rest of your life, literally, every single interaction you have with another human being is someone trying to be like, we love you. You're the best, like, whatever you want. He has had just nothing but yes men for his entire life. Well, it changes everything. You think you're the funniest. You think you know everything. Like, it's. It would fuck you up.
Adam Friedland
That's true. Like, every joke he's told has been laughed at.
PFT Commenter
Right.
Adam Friedland
And so he thinks he's funny, maybe.
PFT Commenter
Or, like, he doesn't have anyone busting his balls.
Adam Friedland
No chance. I think. I think he's also the first, like, NBA superstar in, like, an era where you have to market yourself. Like, we didn't know who Jordan was.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
We didn't know that he had just a hate in his gut. And, like, we didn't know. We just thought he, like, off season, he goes. Goes hangs out with Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny. We didn't know that he was, like, you know, just, like. You know, like, arranging hits and like. And just, like, you know, like. And then, like, in his.

LeBron has had to market himself because, like, social media, like, the digital age and all that, and, you know, he's just terrible at. I mean, I don't know who's this. Whoever's, like, advice. I think he's. The Akron crew is around him.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And I think the other difference, I think, is, like, Kobe and mj, like, think that it's maybe soft to have friends, you know?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
They, like. They're like, yeah, you're pathetic that you need other men around you.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland

He's a great guy.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
I mean, I just. Yeah, I really got. I gave him my theory. We didn't actually. I don't know if it was in the episode about MJ LeBron because, like, from what I've heard, the whole Stephen A. The whole goat.
Memes
The goat debate, it'll never die.
Adam Friedland
I think that's when Stephen A. That was the thing is what we watched last year was. It was the best because it was the first time that people weren't talking about Trump. It was like, like, it was the first thing that we got to be like, oh, this is great. Isn't this great? But Stephen A. Guy is like, yeah, and if you. And if you touch me, like, I will have no choice but to. But to give you hands. And I'm like, what do you. It's LeBron James.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Also, why are you threatening.
PFT Commenter
Why.
Adam Friedland
Why are they threatening? And why is he saying he doesn't want to be? And. And I'M not friends with Brian Windhorse. It's like, what is going on with these people right now? It's like these people are falling apart. Right. And if you. And I will give you the hail hand I will give you. I have. I will have no choice. Choice. And then. And then. But the best part of that whole thing was just like Skip was just so tweeting.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
He was tweeting for like 4.
PFT Commenter
Oh, he wanted to get noticed so.
Adam Friedland
Bad to avoid and like just being ignored. Zero engagement. Another pathetic like buzzer beater for LeBron tonight.
PFT Commenter
He's a SpongeBob.
Adam Friedland
Pathetic losers I've ever seen play in the NBA. Perhaps top 40, perhaps maybe top 50 player.
PFT Commenter
And he noticed Skip too. Like he's been doing.
Zach
He's.
PFT Commenter
He's basically been pumping up Bronnie. Almost like a slight to LeBron. It's a weird.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Like being like he's going to be the next. I don't know. He's lost it.
Adam Friedland
But my.
PFT Commenter
He just wanted attention. And Stephen A got all of it.
Adam Friedland
My read of the subtext with this LeBron Stephen a thing is that. Is that somewhere in. In North Carolina in a big ass house a gentleman had that they took the damn team away because he sucked at owning a team. And he's a little bit. And he's. I think the power you have as in NBA journalism is who you have in your phone. And I think Mr. Mr. Stephen A. Smith. I think he's MJ's guy.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And I think that potentially, I mean, the concept of him drunk in a mansion alone, just being like, go with him today.
Big Cat
Yeah. Get him.
Adam Friedland
Just go with LeBron.
PFT Commenter
And LeBron has guys like for 20 years.
Adam Friedland
For 20 years.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
But for 20 years.
PFT Commenter
And now he's gonna be on TV, which is gonna be awesome.
Adam Friedland
Do you think he'll be good?
Big Cat
I.
Memes
If he needs a buddy, he needs somebody that can bring it out of him.
PFT Commenter
I was also saying, like, they should actually leave buddies.
Memes
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
They should lean into it and like make the desk like a blackjack table. Like, because who wouldn't watch? Like, like in between commercials.
Adam Friedland
You need to give him.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
MJ's playing blackjack. We're gonna go in live.
Adam Friedland
He's gonna cry.
Big Cat

PFT Commenter
You just have to go everywhere to watch games. It's crazy.
Adam Friedland

Memes
No, it's a perfect show.
Adam Friedland
I don't think it's best. It's funnier than Curb, like, when it. Like, it's the funniest show I've ever seen in my life.
PFT Commenter
And we. We got to interview Charles Barkley last month, and I was just smiling ear to ear for, like, a day after. He's just the best. Like, everything about him is the best.
Adam Friedland

Adam Friedland
Chuck was asleep.

Adam Friedland
Chuck, Chuck, say any European person.
Memes
It doesn't care to learn.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And.
PFT Commenter
But that's the difference. That's like.
Adam Friedland
Because they're drunk.
PFT Commenter
When Stephen A. Smith makes a mistake, they'll go into, like. Like crisis mode. Like, he'll say, you know, someone's on the Chargers who's not on the char. Who hasn't been on the Chargers in a year. And then you'll see all these stories, like, Stephen Smith has worked so hard. No one else works. These guys make a mistake. They're like, yeah, we that up. That's the.
Adam Friedland
You got to do that barely about the game.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
You got to do. You got to be like, hey, I'm an idiot. I that up. If you try to. If you try to pretend that, like, oh, no, it's because I've been working so hard. You guys are working me to the bone. It's like, come on.
Adam Friedland
I have to imagine, like, they all actually are concealed carrying while they're on the. On set. Jack Shaq's got a deputies badge.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Memes
I. I would watch them do the red zone, because ESPN's got red zone, too. In the future. Not this year.
Adam Friedland
Right.
Memes
I think it's like, next year. Next year, I. I would just have them just sit.
Adam Friedland
ESPN got red zone.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And Charles Barkley loves football. He kept on saying that to us.
Adam Friedland
K, do you appreciate red zone?
Memes
I. I do. If I can't watch the actual game, I can't.
Adam Friedland
I can't. It just makes me feel s. Like I'm losing My mind.
PFT Commenter
Well, you know what it is for me from a gambling brain, every time they flip to a game, I'm like, where's the big play?
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And then it would be like, all right, and that's a five yard out. You're like, I thought it was gonna be like a pick six or something. Touchdown. But yeah, we. We watch all the games here, so we have all the games, like the actual feeds of the games.
Adam Friedland
I. I knew some guys that, like, were like, went into like, finance, like, you know, but like the 22, 23 year old kids, and they get like, first huge big check and they had a huge, like, apartment in the West Village and just too much money for the age we were at.

Adam Friedland
A little Dove was exhausted from, like, the road, and he was just like. We couldn't. And then we had to, like, gang record. I think Stav was just burnt out. And then he just recorded a special. So Then he took some time off. We kept doing the show. I mean, the point is that at a certain point you're like, we're, you're not a baby anymore. And like, you want to stop doing podcasts where it's like, what if, if, you know, what if that, you know, what if Tom Brady was Chinese or something? Go a little bit, something like this. Like the Tuck rule would be called the, I don't know, the Chinese rule. You know, we're like, at a certain point, we're like exhausted.

Etc. Thanks for all you do. The Commanders upgraded this year. Well, Commanders was tough. We went to the Ravens greatest facility I've ever seen.

Their locker room was sick. It's a great locker room.
Hank
The new locker room is nice.
PFT Commenter
But yeah, the Ravens did win us over with their pools.
Memes
Yeah. And teams do take into account the NFL LPA thing. Like I think the. The Commanders a couple years ago, they got an F minus for treatment of families. And I did notice that Casey Anthony is now banned from the facility. So they take. They take active steps to correct these issues.
PFT Commenter
Hank, should we do this players pool?
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Barstool. Sure. Publish the results and just throw in the trash. I mean, I wonder what it would be though. Like, what would the facilities like?

Zach
I'm not saying it's okay or I don't condone it. I'm just saying.
Hank
Oh, you're trying to protect a streak.
Zach
I understand doing it. If you need.
PFT Commenter
What does this mean?
Zach
More headshots to get, like, it's weird.

Or it's where you find a spot and you just kind of hide out there and let.

Memes
Yeah, it's great.
PFT Commenter
You find a good spot where you're camping.

Memes
There's some.
Zach
If we're trying to get some achievements unlocked, you know, five, ten minutes.
Hank
I understand that if you're, like, trying to level up a gun or, like, get. I've never been a camo challenge guy, but in a game, like, what do you say? What do you say if you walk into a room and you just get killed by a corner camper?
PFT Commenter
You can't.
Zach
You're camping.
Big Cat
Yeah.

Hank
Why?
Big Cat
Why?

But when I got my four wins, they were almost exclusively because I found this one room on the top floor of this one bed building. I would just go in there and just not move. And I would just stand in there with an automatic shotgun waiting for, with a, with a mind that was attached to the door, waiting for somebody to open the door that I'd blast him four times. And then all you'd hear on the death comps is like you, you little. It was great. It was great. I ended up winning.
Hank
If you play a games of Warzone 45 minutes without leaving like one love that.
Memes
Well also because you had a little sniper position so you could maybe pick somebody off on the roof from that same room you should be. So you just go to the roof, then you go back to the door and wait. Then you go to the roof, then you go back to the door and wait. It was great.
PFT Commenter
That's. That's terrible.
Memes
Did you.
Big Cat
That's not.
Zach
Not cool.
PFT Commenter
Not cool.
Hank
All right, and then last one. Hey guys, love the show. My camp question is, is it ever appropriate to camp out in front of a store, restaurant, ticket booth, etc to ensure you get a highly sought after product? For example example, Zach may have camped out to ensure he gets the new Xbox. Maybe max weighted hours at a new fast food location to get free food for a year. Does the item being obtained matter? Do you draw the line at bringing a tent? Is it all just a no go? We're talking like the store opens at 7am but people start lining up at 5pm the day before. Have you seen Beth Page?
PFT Commenter
No. It's crazy.
Hank
It's like two and a half days now.
PFT Commenter
I think. Tickets.
Memes
It's all right.
PFT Commenter
So I've done it for tickets. For student tickets at Wisconsin.
Big Cat
You.
Adam Friedland
It's you.
PFT Commenter
If you do it, you have to do it the fun way. You got to get an actual tent and do it with your friends. And it's just fun if you're doing it like sitting in a chair outside of like a Best Buy.
Memes
I don't know Yeah, I also feel like the Internet has kind of taken a lot of that away. So we used to have to camp out to get tickets for HF Festival back in the day, which you could only get at, like, Tower Records or Sam Goody. And so you'd go sleep out there and then you buy. Now you just. Just like get them online.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
So you don't have to worry about that.
PFT Commenter
I remember camping out for. I didn't do it, but I remember the lines and like, some of my friends doing it for. For the Xbox 360.
Memes
Yeah, I did it one time for, I think what was the PlayStation that came out in like 2005, 2006. PS2. Yeah. I camped out for a PS2 because I was going to get it, then I was going to sell it online because I had spent all my money at college, I needed some money for Christmas, so I camped out, bought it it. Spent every last cent that I had buying it. And then I put it for sale on ebay. I think I made like five or ten dollars off it.
PFT Commenter
That's good money.
Memes
But I thought that I had. I'd figured out the economy.
PFT Commenter
Little tip for you. You do that 10 million times, that's 50 million bucks.
Memes
That's right. Hey, you can't go broke taking a profit, Right.
PFT Commenter
You sell. You sell a. A soda can to every single person in China for $1, you're a billionaire.
Memes
That's a great point. That's a great point.
PFT Commenter
That's one of those we should do the Mount Rushmore thing things that someone told you and you thought were really smart and then you grew up and you're like, well, that was stupid.
Memes
The Mount Rushmore things that get to China. Yeah, the Mount Rushmore things. Gary Vee would say.
Big Cat
Yeah, right.
PFT Commenter
That people are gonna buy and be like, oh, yeah, he's right.
Memes
He's right.
PFT Commenter
He's so right.
Memes
I found a market inefficiency.
PFT Commenter
Kill your whole family every morning. Okay, what was the question? Oh, camping out. Have you camped out?
Zach
Yeah, yeah, I used to camp growing up. Like sneakers and stuff like that.
Big Cat
Oh, okay.
PFT Commenter
Well, different in Florida. Not bad weather.
Zach
Not bad weather, no.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, you can camp out forever in Florida. What? Sneakers?
Zach
Different phone posits as a kid. Orlando mall, Galaxy phone posits.
Memes
There was a.
Zach
That one. That one ended bad, but that was just one that came to mind.
Big Cat
What happened?
Zach
There was like a shooting situation, but your camp out? Yeah, at the camp out.
PFT Commenter
Right, With Zach.
Big Cat
Anything's on. No, no, no.
Adam Friedland

PFT Commenter
No, no, no, not at all.
Big Cat
Not at all. No.
Adam Friedland
That was just the first one that.
Zach
Popped in my head.
PFT Commenter
Cuz that would be very Zach. If he's like, there's a shooting situation, we dig in. He's like, well, I had to shoot someone.
Memes
Not a weapon. As. As a. A Florida man. Have you ever owned a gun?
Zach
No, Not. Not in on weapons. I'm out on weapons.
Memes
Did you ever think about it?
Zach
Also no.
Big Cat
Okay.
Zach
If I get robbed, I just take.
PFT Commenter
My stuff, I guess.
Big Cat
Sorry, sir.
PFT Commenter
Just.
Zach
Just let him have it.

Memes
This guy brings up a pretty good point. He should have my shoes.
Big Cat
Yep.
PFT Commenter

Adam Friedland
No.
Big Cat

PFT Commenter
You left after the shooting.
Zach

PFT Commenter

Episode: Comedian Adam Friedland, Daniel Jones QB1 Again, Mt Rushmore Of Things That Make Your Friend’s House Cool + Guys On Camp (Camp Barstool)
Date: August 20, 2025
Hosts: Big Cat, PFT Commenter (Barstool Sports), plus the crew (Memes, Hank, Zach, Max)
This episode welcomes comedian and podcaster Adam Friedland in-studio for an in-depth, hilarious conversation about the evolution of his podcasting career, comedy, sports fandom, and the absurdities of modern media and politics. The show also features classic PMT segments including “Hot Seat, Cool Throne” (sports and culture news), the “Mt Rushmore” draft of the coolest things at friends’ houses, and a recap of guy dynamics at “Camp Barstool.” All of this is delivered with the hosts’ signature blend of banter, satire, and left-field humor.
Daniel Jones wins the starting job for the Indianapolis Colts, beating out Anthony Richardson.
Anthony Richardson’s agent is reportedly upset that the Colts are moving on so quickly. The crew speculates about early-career QB development, and jokes about positional changes (“try out tight end, see if you like it”).
Joe Flacco is confirmed as starter for the Cleveland Browns and the hosts joke about the AFC North being the “division of quarterbacks” (Flacco, Rodgers, Lamar, Burrow), and how Super Bowl-winning QBs get infinite job security:
Matthew Stafford’s “death” conspiracy: A side bit about Twitter conspiracy theories that the Rams have replaced Stafford with a clone after an injury absence.
Hank’s Hot Take: He doubles down on his controversial proposal for a Super Bowl hosted in London.
Fan Experience:
Attempt at compromise: "What if we did one here, one there?" quickly devolves into jokes about aggregate scores and a “best of three” Super Bowl series.
BYU’s new true freshman QB "Bear Bachmeyer," who wears #47, causing the hosts to riff on wacky football numbers and his brothers' animal-themed names.
Auburn Football claims four more “national championships,” including retroactive ones from random years—a quintessential CFB tradition.
All-time nostalgia content, with everyone adding personal reflections.
Adam reflects on the weird and wild ride from Cometown third mic ("least popular guy on a podcast for ugly men") to intellectual talk show host.
Talks creative partnership with Nick Mullen and Stavros, transition periods, why they ended Cometown, and the origins of his “Adam Friedland Show.”
Adam’s interview approach: learning from Howard Stern and Joe Rogan, mixing flattery and self-deprecation, and the art of disarming guests.
Riffs on infamous Cometown bits, moments of realizing old comedy was actually good, and the pitfalls of podcast irony.
On how the political/media establishment tries to anoint “lefty internet” alternatives, with desperate hopes for figures like Adam or Stav.
Gags about industry plant offers, DNC/Saudi cash, and the hollow “strategy” of Dems (rainbow crosswalk vouchers, convoluted tax credits).
Classic PMT: loose, rapid-fire, and irreverent. The arguments are intentionally absurd, the interviews alternately sincere and ridiculous, and the sports commentary walks a line between actual analysis and parodic speculation. Adam Friedland blends seamlessly into this world, oscillating between stand-up-level bits and genuine reflection on podcasting and culture.
Summary prepared for those who haven't listened: you'll grasp the episode’s comedy, its sharp sports satire, and the loose, conversational chaos that’s made Pardon My Take an institution.
