PFT Commenter
Happy birthday, Big Cat.
Big Cat
Happy birthday. PFT. Because it's coming out for the birthday.
PFT Commenter
What day is it right now?
Big Cat
It is my birthday right now. But it's your birthday. When people are listening to this, how does.
PFT Commenter
How does being 40 feel?
Big Cat
I feel wiser than all of you. I feel smarter. No, I've actually been dreading it. And now that it's happened, it's like, just move on. I don't really like my birthday anymore. Birthdays kind of suck.
PFT Commenter
Now just move on the finger in the butt yet. No stroke at midnight, right? I have to do it.
Big Cat
Should we do our kiss? Let's do our kiss. So this is. If you're listening on the podcast, go subscribe on the YouTube. PFT and I are gonna do our annual kiss between our birthdays, so you'll have to watch it. You can't listen to. Well, you can listen to it, but go watch it right now and also subscribe to YouTube. All right, here it goes. Three, two, one. Oh.
Hank
Oh, my God.
PFT Commenter
Poking me. You must have sickles spitting their daddy. Oh.
Big Cat
And that was our kiss.
PFT Commenter
Pretty good. I think that was our best one yet.
Big Cat
I think that was our best one yet.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
Podcast listeners, you just have to leave it to your imagination, I guess.
PFT Commenter
Hank, how'd you feel about that? It's gross.
Big Cat
Hank. It's two men who love each other very dearly, sharing an intimate moment on their birthdays. What's your problem, bro?
PFT Commenter
Guys can't care about each other anymore.
Big Cat
I don't like. I don't like how Hank is Hank and Memes. I don't like their attitudes. Memes wants us to die. Hank just loves to comment about our age. Max, the only one who's got our back. Because I think Max is just still so hungover from the case race. He didn't know where he is right now.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, he popped a blood vessel in his eye.
Big Cat
Oh, I saw. It was a good one.
PFT Commenter
I spent pretty much all day yesterday puking, Taking gummies. Puking.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
It was a good day.
Big Cat
Yeah. So, yeah. But we are 40. You're listening to us as 40. We're going to just. We're going to move past it. We're going to be fine. I don't like Hank's attitude or face or look or anything. I think can exist.
PFT Commenter
Once I'm 40, I'm going to get in good shape.
Big Cat
Yeah. After the Super Bowl, I'm going to get in good shape. After much madness.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. I'm going to be. I'm going to be jacked up by the time I'm 41.
Big Cat
Yeah. All right. National sports podcast. So this is always the weird week because it's like we haven't fully transitioned off football. Do the Saints finally have a head coach? Is it kellen Moore? Mike McCarthy sitting out a year. So he's just that. What do you think the people at Pro Football Focus said when they saw the alert that Mike McCarthy is sitting out here and they're like, holy. He's gonna. He's gonna re up his prescription. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
He's gonna live with him.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I think they're in Cincinnati, right?
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Mike McCarthy's gonna move to Cincinnati and just spend a year farting and watching film and looking at a computer screen while somebody tells him what this cell means.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And he's going to come back. He must have an idea of what jobs could open up next year.
Big Cat
Yeah, I guess. But it also. Could it be the end?
PFT Commenter
No. He's taking a year off.
Big Cat
He's taking a year off.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
So is it Kellen Moore, though? Is Kellen Moore going to be the Saints head coach?
PFT Commenter
I think it might be Kellen Moore.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I think he's been doing a lot of. He's been getting his staff together. He's been really focused on his interviews with the Saints. I think this bodes well for his chance of being hired.
Big Cat
Are we worried, Max, that Kellen Moore is thinking about the Saints and not the Eagles?
Max
It is what it is. That's what happens in football. Sometimes. If you're a good team, other teams are going to want your coordinators, and I'm not going to cry about it.
Big Cat
Okay. Okay. That's a really good answer.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I think he'd be a good coach for the Saints.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Max
I think he's a good football coach. It stinks that Jalen Hurts. Looks like I'll probably have his ninth offensive coordinator in eight years.
Big Cat
That's a real.
PFT Commenter
Let's talk about Jalen Hurts the same way we talk about Baker Mayfield.
Big Cat
Yeah. He just keeps getting. Maybe Jalen Hurts is just. He's the rainmaker. He keeps getting guys hired. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
He's too good.
Big Cat
He is too good. And then me memes, you are. You're just giddy about going to New Orleans. What's going on here? Memes is. Memes laughed. It's Eagles week. It's week. That's. New Orleans is a very happy place. Do you. Are you. Does it feel like Max, that means. Is kind of stealing this from you, the Eagles week thing?
Max
No, I would prefer it to be on him.
Big Cat
Okay. Okay. So it's Eagles. No, it's all. It's all about Max.
PFT Commenter
But it's your own. When you say it's Eagles week, are you saying that because you want more spotlight on Max?
Big Cat
No. No.
PFT Commenter
I have a prediction that over the.
Big Cat
Next week, we're going to be very Eagles focused. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
For the record, I would. I would be Chiefs focused, too, if we can get good interviews with Chiefs players.
Big Cat
Yeah, but the Chiefs don't really want to give us interviews. But we do have Nick Wright on today, who's very good and he is a diehard Chiefs fan. So that we're trying. Chiefs fans. I know that they think it's slanted against them. We're trying.
Max
It should be slanted against you.
Big Cat
Why? Because.
Max
Fuck them.
Big Cat
Today's.
Max
You get Chiefs day.
Big Cat
Okay. You get Chief Day. And then Eagles week. Yes, In Eagles week. Okay.
PFT Commenter
Are you fair. How are you feeling in terms of your confidence level, Max?
Max
I. I'm just. I can't get too worked up. And it's too early to get too worked up.
Big Cat
It's too early to get too worked up.
Max
I like my answer.
Big Cat
I like that. That's a good answer.
PFT Commenter
Not worked up right now.
Nick Wright
Correct.
Max
Okay, I'm.
Nick Wright
I'm calm.
Max
Cool collective.
Big Cat
And we do have a big interview coming on Monday, so get excited for everyone. We're going to have a big super bowl week. Very. A lot of big interviews. A lot of big interviews. Eagles week. Eagles week. Are you worried about one of the interviews and how much you love that person?
Max
Don't do this yet. Why do this yet.
Big Cat
Why? A couple. A couple. But really, the one on Wednesday feels.
PFT Commenter
Like he's, you know, I'll give a hint. He's the brother of a player who's in the game.
Max
This is.
Big Cat
Yeah, this is.
Nick Wright
What. What are we doing here?
PFT Commenter
It could be Jackson Mahomes.
Big Cat
Yeah, it could be. It could be Jackson Mahomes.
Max
Everyone knows I'm the biggest Jackson Mahomes fan, right?
PFT Commenter
Billy Jacks.
Big Cat
It's going to be a big week. All right, so, national sports podcast. I have a couple headlines I want to read to you guys. And then we. We are going to give one early prop pick for the Super Bowl. National sports podcast, though. Did you see Adam Silver floats? The idea of a 10 minute NBA quarter. Wind Horse fingers. That would be interesting that they'd make a 10 minute quarter right when LeBron retires and then no one can beat any of his records.
PFT Commenter
That is interesting. That's interesting. Or it'd be interesting if they shorten the length of the quarters to help the older players in the league that are still around. Maybe a one year trial for the shorter quarters.
Big Cat
What do you think, Hank? I think it would put your fingers up.
Memes
I think it would be bad for bench players. There would be less parody in the league and there would just be, you know, all the. All the stars could play more minutes.
Big Cat
Yeah, but you got a lot of stars.
Memes
We do have a Lot of stars.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
But I think for league parody, it'd be bad. Unless they add. They're gonna add two more teams, I think is my takeaway.
PFT Commenter
Oh, where do you think they should go?
Big Cat
Vegas and Seattle. You gotta say Seattle.
Memes
Seattle.
Big Cat
Give Seattle a shout out. What? Why?
Memes
I used to have beef with Seattle. I forget. I called them Bad Sports Town. And now people from Seattle don't. Don't they. Don't forget.
Big Cat
So you started the beef.
Memes
Yeah, maybe.
PFT Commenter
Does this go back to the Super Bowl?
Memes
No, it was on the show. It was. It was an offhanded comment.
Big Cat
Oh. Oh, yeah.
PFT Commenter
It might have been during the Mariners. Yeah. MLB playoffs.
Big Cat
Yeah. You just were like them when they.
PFT Commenter
Had that one game playoff in the game that lasted, like, 18 innings.
Memes
Maybe that's what it was. Bad Sports Town.
Nick Wright
I forget.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, they got a home run mashed, and then you were like Bad Sports Town. Anyways.
Hank
Right.
PFT Commenter
When they're at their lowest.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah. You just kicked them when they were down.
Memes
Whatever.
Big Cat
All right, so you. You're against it. Yeah, yeah. That was the. That was the one big story. And then I had. Let's see.
PFT Commenter
I've got a couple other.
Big Cat
Yeah. Wemby. Fed up with shoves and unfair lack of calls.
PFT Commenter
Okay.
Big Cat
Was another one. Wemby. You. You can't be upset this early.
PFT Commenter
It's not like the French to complain.
Big Cat
No, but you can't be upset this early. I also saw a stat and let Pop do that.
PFT Commenter
That's. That's what. Pop's job.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
It's like manipulate the media.
Big Cat
Yeah. He works refs. I saw a stat. I don't have the exact numbers, but it was. It was wild. It was a screenshot of the Sixers game last night, and it was.
PFT Commenter
Oh, yeah, I saw that. That same stat.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. It was like, Joel beat games, played an NBA career, like, 430 games, missed 400.
Hank
Oh.
PFT Commenter
The one that I saw was how much money he's been paid to sit out. I think it was like, 125 million or something.
Big Cat
But the Sixers are almost in the playoffs now, which I'm rooting for them to get there, because I want the polls to be in the. In the lottery. They're. They're. I think they're virtually tied for the polls for the 10.
Max
You guys are tied? Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah. So that's huge.
PFT Commenter
We are.
Max
Whatever.
Big Cat
Yeah, that's huge.
Hank
All right. What were your other.
Big Cat
What were your stories?
PFT Commenter
National sports podcast.
Big Cat
Yes, national sports podcast.
PFT Commenter
Cam Newton was asked the question whether he would rather win a Super Bowl. Or an mvp. You know what? He said mvp. He said mvp.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
So embrace debate. Embrace debate. If I was a MVP winner and not a Super bowl winner, I would say the exact same thing.
Big Cat
Yeah, this. I remember when we had Chris Carter on. I don't know, it was like six or seven years ago, and he said that he would rather be in the hall of Fame than win a Super Bowl. And I thought that was crazy. But the more I thought about it was like, hall of Fame, you could maybe say that because you're immortalized forever. And there's only a. You know, a handful of those guys that were the best of the best. Best mvp, I think is where I draw the line where I'd rather have a Super Bowl. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Probably now. Two time mvp.
Big Cat
Two time mvp. But then you might be hall of Famer.
PFT Commenter
That means great career.
Big Cat
That could be hall of Famer.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. But I understand why Cam would say that. Yeah, I would say that too, if I were him.
Big Cat
But I did. I did kind of evolve a little bit on the Chris Carter one where I was like, you know what? Hall of Fame is pretty insane. And you are. I don't know how many. How many actual NFL Hall.
Memes
NFL hall of Fame's a lot. A lot more exclusive, too.
Big Cat
Yeah. Like basketball hall of Fame, who cares?
Max
MLB baseball is definitely the most expensive baseball, like, too much so.
Big Cat
Yeah, but think about how many players play in the NFL. I mean, there's 53 guys on a roster and what they let in, like five a year. So being an NFL hall of Famer, that is pretty fucking crazy.
PFT Commenter
We didn't talk about the Ichiro thing when he was. He was selected for the hall of Fame, but it was not unanimous, of course. And then every media member was like, we need the name of this person that did not put Ichiro on the hall of Fame ballot.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And the. They should be thanking the guy in the media that didn't do that because it gave them a full day of things to talk about on their sports show of how could I not be unanimous? Hall of Famer.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
That guy actually did a great job.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. That guy. Yeah. You. You need. You need that out there every single time. Wasn't Jeter the same way?
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I think Jeter was the same way.
Big Cat
There's never been a unanimous Mariana or Rivera, maybe. Yes, I think that might be right. 378 members in the Pro Football hall of Fame total. That's pretty crazy.
PFT Commenter
It would be a good club to be in.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Plus, you get. Yeah, you get the speech you get the statue, you get the gold jacket. Yeah.
Big Cat
Okay. What. What was your other national sports headline?
PFT Commenter
National sports headline? Somebody in the UK has been arrested for cyber farting.
Big Cat
Oh, I saw this.
PFT Commenter
So this, this woman took a camera on her phone, front facing camera, and then put it up to her ass and then farted into it and then sent that video to somebody. So it's not even farting in real life. It was cyber farting. The quote from the the judgment said, Ms. Evans passing wind, her face smiling at the camera. The victim was a woman by the name of Deborah Prayer Tech.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
She said that the booty belches made her feel unsafe in her own home. It was purely malicious. She was. She was smirking throughout and she found it hilarious. But the victim did not. So now Ms. Evans the farter has to go to 15 rehab sessions, 16 days of or 60 days of alcohol, abstinence, and she has a two year restraining order following her fart.
Big Cat
Damn.
PFT Commenter
So it. Has justice been served?
Big Cat
I don't know. Will Compton's in trouble.
PFT Commenter
He's in big trouble.
Big Cat
I actually sent him don't go to Britain. He tried to send me a fart for my birthday today and he couldn't muster one up. Not saying. I mean, listen, that's just sad because everyone always expected Will Compton would be able to get a fart out, so I just sent him one back. What would you say the prison sentence would be for this one? I'll play it. I took a video of it. There's nothing like farting in your phone. It's just always a good time. All right, give me my prison sentence.
Memes
That wasn't too bad.
Big Cat
Yeah, that's like 60 days. Maybe some probation. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
Maybe some light community work.
PFT Commenter
That reminds me, I wanted to do an spaces on Twitter, but it's just only farts where it's just people farting the entire time. And you raise your hand if you think that you can fart.
Big Cat
I think someone did that.
Max
No, it's my snap. I have a Snapchat group.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah.
PFT Commenter
That's called Only Farts.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. And you share it with your friends.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Max
It's just the only thing that goes on and that's in that group chat is just videos of farting.
PFT Commenter
I just want to. I want a Twitter spaces. That is nothing but 30 minutes of just people farting the entire time and laughing. And you can laugh at the farts.
Big Cat
Yeah, you have to be able to laugh at the farts. Okay. And do we have any other national sports podcast stories that we have to talk about.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. As first reported on part of my take by our Dear friend Jerry O'Connell, Matt Stafford is coming back.
Big Cat
Oh, he did the research.
PFT Commenter
Got that by listening to Kelly's podcast.
Big Cat
Listen, there were some people who were like, you guys were too hard on joc. We love joc. We just demand excellence at the, this program.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I mean, we wanted to hear him fight for his job and he did, to his credit. He, he said, I'm not going to share managing duties.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
We wanted that fire from him.
Big Cat
Right. That might have cost him the managing duties, that ultimatum that he threw at us. But it was good that he, he did the research and got that.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it was good to hear. It was good to hear him fight a little bit.
Big Cat
Yeah. Also, shout out to awls. This, this kind of is mind blowing, but Spotify released what was the exact thing they did.
Memes
Awards.
Big Cat
They did awards. Spotify did awards. So they did like total downloads in the history of the shows, or was that what it is?
Memes
Inaugural podcaster milestone awards.
Big Cat
Okay.
Memes
So the first group of honorees are getting plaques.
Big Cat
Okay.
Memes
Three tiers based on total lifetime to date streams globally. Bronze is 100 million. Silver's 250. Gold is 500.
Big Cat
So there's 200. 500 downloads. 250 downloads. 100 downloads. Downloads.
Memes
The 500 list was. Sorry, I'm trying to find it. Exactly. I think it was Joe Rogan 500 and crime junkie.
Big Cat
Okay, so Joe Rogan got in Crime Junkie.
Memes
And then the silver podcast, which is 250 million plus cumulative streams to date are Dateline NBC, My Favorite Murder, and part of my take cat and PFT commentary.
Big Cat
That is pretty mind blowing that outside of just basically true crime and Joe Rogan, we're up there. So thank you to everyone who listens. So, so we get, we get a plaque. Getting a plaque.
Memes
We're getting a plaque.
PFT Commenter
So I think we're getting a plaque. Even though Spotify fired all their people, Hank.
Memes
Yeah, I mean, listen, at least they're doing something.
PFT Commenter
They're making it up to hang for that. Yeah. Also yesterday, I, I, I'm sorry, by.
Memes
The way, like, I don't, I don't, I feel bad for the Spotify people that got fired, but also this, like, I have to acknowledge the raptors that.
Big Cat
Also this story is like, I mean, the fact that 250 million and we're the only sports podcast with a silver plaque. What do you got, memes? You got your hand up. Didn't we hit a billion downloads a year ago? Maybe this Is Spotify exclusive? Spotify, yeah. We got to be close at 500. Bump us up Spotify. Yeah. Give us a little. Yeah. Or bump us up. Aws. Get us that. But it's still. It was like, one of those moments where you take a step back, you're like, holy. Like, there's. It's basically true crime in US and. And Joe Rogan. That's insane. And 250 million downloads is. Can't wait for our plaque.
PFT Commenter
It's pretty cool. Yeah, very cool.
Big Cat
I can't wait to lose our plaque.
PFT Commenter
Love you guys.
Big Cat
We will lose it. Yeah, we're gonna lose it easily.
PFT Commenter
There was another piece of news yesterday that I. I discovered by reading a press release, but apparently me and Big Cat own a football team in Mexico now.
Memes
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
So we teamed up with Mr. Kittle, Mr. Greg Olson, Mr. Ryan Khalil. Who else?
Big Cat
Griffin.
PFT Commenter
Griffin, Yeah.
Big Cat
I think Christian McCaffrey. So it was very funny because. So I had a zoom with Ryan, Cleo, and Blake Griffin. I think it was maybe two months ago, and they had this idea they're going to buy a team of an American football team in Mexico. There's a league, I think our team actually is the Monterey Osos, which is Bears. And so I talked to them. I was like, we're in. This sounds awesome. They did all the legwork. And then about a week and a half ago, Ryan Khalil and Blake Griffin text me. They're like, hey, what's your address? We want to send you some hats. And I just didn't read the second paragraph. And it was just, we're close to finalizing the deal. Want to mention you and PFT in the press release, if that's cool. And I responded for the hats, saying, here's our address. And that sounds great. And then last night, PFT was like, hey, did we actually buy part of this team? And I was like, oh, fuck. I guess I didn't read the second part of the paragraph. So, yeah, we did.
PFT Commenter
That's pretty cool.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
As. As owners.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
What can we say? Osos Vuelto. Yeah.
Big Cat
We got to get to the glory hole. What's the glory hole in Spanish?
PFT Commenter
I don't know, but Osos and Vuelto means Bears are back.
Big Cat
Bears are back. All right, let's see.
PFT Commenter
They got a cool logo, too.
Big Cat
English to Spanish. You guys are also. You guys know owners?
Memes
No, we mean we know them.
Big Cat
You know us.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
So congrats to that.
PFT Commenter
As an owner, I plan on hiring smart football people and then letting them do their job.
Big Cat
Yeah. Aguharra de la Gloria.
PFT Commenter
There we go.
Big Cat
So we got to get to the Aguhara de la Gloria.
PFT Commenter
That's all we need.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And those windows are not. They're not as big as you think they are.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Memes
Do you still have Swansea? Is that. Is that a thing?
Big Cat
I think so. I think so, but maybe. I actually don't. I think actually they might have. I think they might.
Memes
You ever sign paperwork for the Breakers?
Big Cat
I don't think so.
PFT Commenter
We. I think we might have.
Big Cat
I don't think so.
PFT Commenter
The Breakers. I think we did.
Big Cat
And then we have the water dogs.
PFT Commenter
Nice little portfolio.
Big Cat
Yeah, we're. And we listen. We've won at least one championship.
PFT Commenter
Yep.
Big Cat
So that. That's pretty cool. Yeah, we're. We're. We're owners. Oh, I don't fucking know.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. What? E game? Esports.
Big Cat
E games. E games is what I was going to say as well.
PFT Commenter
We'll do an esports team.
Big Cat
Esports team. A paintball team maybe. Yeah, I'd like to get a paintball team.
PFT Commenter
Like to hire Jake on that.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter

Big Cat
See sportsbook.draftkings.com promos okay, Max, how we feeling week out?
Max
I feel good. I mean, I'm not. I'm not letting myself really worry until I get to New Orleans.
Big Cat
Okay.
Max
New Orleans is going to be. You're going to see all the super bowl stuff around the city. There's going to be all the Eagles, Chiefs, you know, banners. And that's when I'm really going to start getting nervous because I can't get. I can't do two weeks of freak out.
Big Cat
Yeah, you can't. You can't. But you might.
Max
No, I can't.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
Do you have a prop that you like, Max?
Nick Wright
My prop?
Max
I think that Devonte Smith do. Oh, I think he. I 50 plus yards. I feel good about Devonte Smith.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
All right.
Big Cat
Hank, do you have a prop?
Memes
Yeah, I don't feel as excited. I'm really just blah.
Big Cat
What's wrong?
Memes
It's gonna be blah. What do you mean, Eagles and cheats? I don't. I don't really, like, future dude.
Nick Wright
Your biggest, biggest future of your life.
Big Cat
See, get up off the mat.
Memes
But I know the Eagles are going to lose, and it's like, I'm going to be rooting so hard against the Chiefs, and then I'm going to be mad at the Eagles, so I feel like it's just going to be. It's going to suck. The prop that I will be betting that I'll be rooting for is Patrick Mahomes over. One half interception. So Patrick Mahomes to throw an interception.
PFT Commenter
What about just going to New Orleans? It doesn't get you jazzed up.
Big Cat
It does.
Memes
I had a little bit of a scary situation last time I was in New Orleans. A little bit. A little bit freaked out, if I'm being honest, but shaking out.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
But. But even if. If the Chiefs are gonna win, like, just think about how hilarious it can be to laugh at Max. Like, that's true. That's gonna be.
Memes
We've done it.
Big Cat
We need new. We need new.
Memes
We need something new.
Big Cat
No, I mean, this is super old, though. Like, this is. It would be one thing if we were laughing at him for, like, Villanova not making the tournament. Like, that's like, oh, who cares? Like, they didn't make the tournament. This is super. These are. These are for the Max haters. But it's their super.
Memes
But for me, that's the thing. It's like, it is. I am the, you know, the top of the mountain of Max haters. And no one loves reveling in his misery more than me, but it comes at the cost of. Of Tom Brady and his legacy. And some things are bigger than Max being in misery.
Big Cat
I'm not saying. Don't. I'm not saying, like, I would rather that she.
Memes
I'd rather the Eagles win if I had a chance.
Big Cat
It's the Eagles, but the Eagles can win this game. And I'm saying that no matter if the Eagles end up losing this game, there's at least a prize at the end of it. It's him.
Memes
But I. Then you have to. It's the narrative.
Big Cat
That's.
Memes
To answer those questions forever.
Big Cat
That's how I'm. I'm getting ready for Super Bowl.
Memes
It's like, they're tough questions to answer.
PFT Commenter
Nightmare scenario is the Chiefs win and Tom Brady screws up the call.
Memes
Oh, it's not if the Chiefs win.
Hank
It's.
Memes
The conversations are tough. It's. They're tough arguments to make. You really. Like, I'm really gonna have to get in the lab and you're gonna do some reading. Yeah.
Big Cat
The. But I'm not cashing out my. My future on the Eagles. I'm rooting for the Eagles. I'm rooting for Max. But if they end up losing and I lose this money, I know that I got a nice consolation prize. And just looking at him like that's there.
Memes
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And he's going to get back to the exact same level that he was the last time they lost.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah.
PFT Commenter
Like right now he's trying to play cool. He's not. He's not doing a good job. Nobody's trying. Next week, we're going to be around the Eagles. He's going to see some of his heroes. It's gonna be a week of him seeing other Birds fans being like, we got this, Max.
Big Cat
We're gonna interview Jason Kelsey.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it could be Jackson Holmes. Yeah, it might be Jackson.
Max
It might be Jackson.
PFT Commenter
Either.
Max
Either.
Memes
Jason Kelsey Barkley.
Max
Yep.
PFT Commenter
Yep.
Big Cat
Jason Barkley. Saquon's brother.
PFT Commenter
Jack Stelente.
Big Cat
All right, so what's your prop, Hank?
Memes
Patrick Mahomes. Over.
Big Cat
Oh, over.
PFT Commenter
All right. I'm looking for no doinks. I don't see no doings listed just yet. I'm hopeful that they'll put it back up next week, but I am going to be taking over three and a half field goals. The Gremlin bed, it's at +125 right now.
Big Cat
I like it.
PFT Commenter
And I think they got two great kickers.
Big Cat
I like it. I'm going. I think this has got to be a huge Dallas Goddard game. So I'm going. Dallas. God. Are over 60 yards receiving, plus 119. So it's plus money. I think this is Dallas Goddard game. I think he's got to eat. He's also. He leads the Eagles in receiving yards in the playoffs. It feels like he's going to get his five or six targets and he's had a. I. I'm just thinking off the top of my head. There's been at least two that I can think of where he broke for like 30 plus yards. So. Dallas Goddard recurring guest.
PFT Commenter
Eat. I like it.
Big Cat
You like that, Max?
Max
Love it.
Big Cat
Love it.
PFT Commenter
Who do you think Taylor Swift is rooting for in this game?
Max
Chiefs.
PFT Commenter
But she's from Philly, right?
Hank
Geez.
Max
From Philly adjacent.
Big Cat
What did future guest Jason Kelsey say about who he's rooting for?
PFT Commenter
Oh, he said he's. It was kind of talking out of both sides of his mouth. He said, I'm going to root for my brother and I'm going to Root for the Eagles. So if the Chiefs win, I'm going to be happy. If the Eagles win, I'm going to be happy.
Big Cat
That's a fair way to look at. I mean, he's kind of in an impossible spot.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
It sucks because he does have like best friends on the Eagles and then that's what brother. Yeah.
Max
He was like, it's hard to root against family, but the people in Philly are my family. So it's like he was like, if you're, he was like, if you really wanted to ask me, it's going to be tough to say that I don't want the Eagles to win. But I'm always rooting for Travis Kelsey.
PFT Commenter
Right. Yeah.
Big Cat
Just root for. He should just bet all of Travis's props and then. And parlay it with the Eagles to win the Super Bowl.
PFT Commenter
It's 1 million percent a fair answer to give. But also at the same time, you can be like, oh, he's not picking a side.
Max
Yeah, they, I try. I Travis asked him if he would wear like the split team. The split team jersey and he was like, he was like, I will not be wearing red.
Big Cat
Yeah. Also I'll just say this and we'll ask him this when we interview him on Wednesday.
PFT Commenter
Max will be there either.
Max
You know, Jackson Mahomes.
Big Cat
There's got to be like the big brother, little brother thing. If it's 4:1, that's pretty significant. Like you gotta. I don't know how many more seasons Travis Cousins gonna play before one is now he's got a basically a whole hand versus year one. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I mean, especially since one of those could have been just immediately transferred over to correct.
Big Cat
Yeah, it could have. Yeah. Right.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
Okay. I'm excited to get to New Orleans. I'm excited for a great soup bowl week.
PFT Commenter
Me too. I, I, I've put the final number. I think my goal is to eat 15 gumbos.
Big Cat
I love that.
PFT Commenter
15 gumbos from the time I arrive to when I leave. We're leaving on Saturday morning.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
So Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, six days, 15 gumbos.
Big Cat
I love that.
PFT Commenter
I think it can happen.
Big Cat
I love that for you. Max is staying till Monday. He's going to the game. We got to make sure that you got a real. I want to do, I think we got to do a Sunday morning quick like 5 minute zoom. We can just all zoom in of just the vibes time capsule for the awl so they can see Max before going to the Super Bowl. I think that's got to be. We got to do that. Right.
Max
Do you think I'll be hungover for that zoom call?
Big Cat
Oh, you'll be so hungover you might not even wake up for it.
PFT Commenter
Are you going to drink champagne?
Max
I will. That's a promise. I will not be drinking.
Big Cat
Oh, I thought you were gonna say that's a promise of drinking champagne.
Max
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I will not be drinking champagne, getting drunk before the game. I will not. I will not be promising sobriety that Saturday.
Big Cat
No, you gotta get hammered. Yeah. I mean, you're gonna get up.
Max
I will not be promising sobriety that Saturday evening.
Big Cat
Yeah. That's a good night. Yeah. Okay, let's get to our interviews. We got Jimmy Tatro, we got Nick Wright, and then we'll finish up with Fyre fest of the week.
PFT Commenter
Before we get to Jimmy Tatro, he's brought to you by our great friends over at Reese's. Their peanut butter cups are the perfect combo of chocolate and peanut butter. Reese's peanut butter cups may be even more perfect now because they've added a layer of ooey gooey delicious chocolate lava. You can buy Reese's cups basically anywhere. Reese's peanut butter cups will be featured in the big game and they will be sponsoring our week in New Orleans. It's lava time, baby. The Reese's Chocolate Lava Big Cup. They've done it again. They changed the game. It's lava time. Get involved. Try Reese's new delicious chocolate lava big cup. Jimmy Tatro is also brought to you by our great friends over at Chevy. Chevy's packed more capability into the Silverado Trail Boss so you can pack more fun into your weekend. Have yourself a fry Saturday and Sunday with a truck that says no to nothing. Tailgates, spontaneous camping trips, DIY projects, Bring it on. What about a cross country road trip? Silverado was the perfect ride for last year's grit week out west. Recently they helped us give fullbacks the recognition they deserve with the low man award. Shout out Tyler Crow of Boise State. Well, the Silverado Trail Boss is built like a fullback. We're talking 495 foot pounds of torque. Hold on to your sodas, Max. Plus the trail boss gives you an extra 2 inch lift, so maybe Hank can finally dunk. Silverado brings the grit. Then pairs it all with the latest truck tech inside and out. The result, A truck that can do it all. Then show up on Sunday with a story to tell. So learn more about the Chevron, the Chevy Silverado trail boss@chevy.com Chevrolet together. Let's drive.
Big Cat
Okay, we now welcome on our very, very, very good friend. He is in studio. He made the trip just for us. It is the legend, Jimmy Tatro. He's got a new movie out. You can stream it now on Amazon Prime. Is that correct?
Hank
That is correct.
Big Cat
Yeah. You're cordially invited. Go watch it. Support our guy. Yeah, I. So Will Ferrell produced this, right?
Hank
Produced it, started it.
Big Cat
So I. That had to have been like, a pinch me moment where you've been doing all this, your career's been taking off. Some people are saying, you know, basically, since you came on pmt, like, eight years ago, it's like, everything's been uphill from there. Some people are saying that, but was it like, holy fuck, I'm doing a movie with Will Ferrell? Because this guy is for anyone in our age range. Like, he's the goat.
Hank
Yeah, he's definitely my goat. And it was definitely like.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
The whole time I was there, you'd be just hanging out, kicking it, and then there'd be, like, that part of me that be creeping in, like, almost nudging myself, like, dude, that's fucking Will Fair.
Big Cat
Yeah, right?
Hank
Shut up, Jimmy. Shut up. Be chill. Be chill right now. But he's like, I don't know. They say don't meet your heroes. That guy is, like, everything I hoped he would be and more. So cool. So funny. Just. He's the best.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
I have nothing but nice things to say about that.
Big Cat
And, like, did you ever find yourself. Because I. I think if I ever got in a situation where I was around Will Ferrell or working with Will Ferrell, I'd probably overlap at all his jokes, but not in like a. Like, a sarcastic way. Just be like, I think you're so funny. I'm just gonna laugh at every joke you've already made.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Because I love you so much.
Hank
It is funny. I mean, he's actually funny, but it is funny. Like, when you do a movie and there's like, a big star on the movie, they can kind of say anything they want.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
And like, a lot of times we were just.
Big Cat
Yeah, right. Get it.
PFT Commenter
It's Will Ferrell.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
But it's not like, in a mean. Cuz like, you know, when someone overlaps with something, you're like, all right, dude, it wasn't that funny. You're mocking me. But, like, for him, like, no, sir, I'm not mocking you. I'm literally just laughing because every. Everything you've ever said is funny to me.
Hank
He. He, like, gave us, like, a little him and Reese gave like a little speech before the. The premiere, and it seemed like he was just coming out to just like introduce the movie. Like, you know, they've done a few of those, but you could tell the whole crowd was like, just like, oh, what's he gonna say? Yeah, he's gonna say something funny. It's coming, it's coming. And he kind of like, felt that. And then it was like, okay, I guess I'll be funny. And he started doing like a little bit and it ended up being really funny. But I was like, it's gotta be a lot of pressure to be.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
To be Will Ferrell.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, yeah. But I mean, to Big Cat's point, it's like whenever I see Will Ferrell saying something serious, I think like, oh, that was kind of funny the way he said that. You know, like, you. Even the serious stuff you misinterpret as a joke sometimes.
Hank
You're like, it. You're like, it can't be. There's a bit coming. Yeah, yeah, it's coming. He's. It's. It's serious now, but it's. There's gonna be a punchline. I'm just waiting for it.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
You probably also have to check your references around them, like, make sure that you don't. Everybody just says Will Ferrell quotes all the time.
Big Cat
That's true.
PFT Commenter
That's true. That escalated quickly. Yeah, you can't really say that to Will Ferrell. Yeah, maybe you can. Maybe it's like, remember that time you said that escalated quickly? Just escalated quickly right now. Yeah.
Big Cat
I got a question about making a movie. This is a dumb question, but when did you film this movie?
Hank
When or where?
Big Cat
When?
Hank
We filmed it in 2023 and like, May.
Big Cat
Okay, so, yeah, this. This works. That's a long time between filming it and coming out. Do you, like, I would forget everything I did. Is that a weird experience to have? Film the movie, have a year and a half of life go by and then be like, oh, shit, yeah, I did do this movie. It's coming out now.
Hank
Yeah. Cuz it's happened. There's been movies I've done that have, like, even more time has passed and I've like, given up on them ever coming out. And then they come out and you're like, oh, okay, that's. And then you're watching it, you're like, oh, wow, I hadn't even seen the movie. Yeah, I watched it for the first time at the premiere because I, like, finally got around to watching the link and like, my power went Out. And I was like, I think it's a sign. I think I just need to watch it at the premiere for the first time. But I like them. I like watching them for the first time with the audience.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
PFT Commenter
Get the vibe.
Big Cat
Yeah. Because like when we do our job is very different than making movies. But like when we do something, it comes out right away. So it's like, you know what I mean? Like, it's, it's, it's instant. We tape a podcast, we do a video, it's like, boom, it's out. So you remember everything youg can like converse about it. If we, if we wait, like we do interviews sometimes where we won't release it for, you know, two weeks and I will not remember anything we talked about.
Hank
But you guys are also saying a lot more things.
Big Cat
True.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that's accurate.
Big Cat
It's just not a good thing.
Hank
You guys get. Do you guys get post podcast anxiety where you, you sometimes finish and you go, what have I said?
PFT Commenter
There's sometimes. Yeah, well, during the show we'll say something and then immediately afterwards realize that we were 100 incorrect on it.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And then you have to wait. It's like a 12 hour death sentence where it's like, okay, this is going to come out. Everyone's gonna be mad because I mixed up Zay Flowers and Trey Flowers name. And so I just have to be prepared to see that like non stop tomorrow morning.
Big Cat
It is funny because I think we've been doing it long enough that I, I can pretty much tell you the minute we finish a show, if I'm like, you know, we. Some shows are just not the best shows. Some shows are like that. We crushed it. I could tell you right away, like, that was an awesome one. And like sometimes I'd be like, that was a good one. You know, move the ball down the field.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Wasn't anything special. Yeah, I know. Right away. But yeah, PFD is right when you, when you know, you fuck up a fact and you're like, I'm going to wake up tomorrow and all my tweets are going to be like, how could you say this? I'm like, just got to live with that.
Hank
But then you, then you do it again. Like, what, the next day?
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
PFT Commenter
Then we screw something else.
Hank
Yeah, yeah.
PFT Commenter
And then people move on.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, Just keep moving it.
PFT Commenter
I'm curious to know how young you think you could play in a movie. Like, what's your Hollywood age range that you have?
Big Cat
Right.
Hank
I think it's getting, I'm getting further away from my 20s, but I think I could still. I think I could still play, like, 25.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
Not a high schooler anymore.
Hank
I don't think so. Maybe in Greece.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, those. Those movies always make me laugh so hard. And TV shows, especially, where there's somebody who's very clearly in their 30s and they're playing, like, a high school junior.
Hank
But I also. I was watching a movie. It was called. I think it was called the Idol Maker. I don't know if you guys have seen this movie, but at one point in the movie, this guy says, ma, I'm only 27. And I'm like, looking at this. This actor, and I'm like, there's no way you're 27. He's got, like, a receding hairline. He's like, I. In my head, 45.
Big Cat
Right.
Hank
And I look him up. Cause I'm curious to see how old he was when he filmed the movie. And he was 27. And I was like, oh, people did look a little older.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
Cigarettes.
PFT Commenter
Cigarettes and no sunscreen. Yeah, that's a part of it.
Big Cat
Those things. Definite. Everyone's smoking cigarettes in bars.
PFT Commenter
It'd be funny if they did, like, an American Pie, like, coming of age story for high schoolers. And everybody was in their 40s, like, blatantly too old.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Where, like, all the high school kids were just middle age. I would watch that.
Big Cat
Yeah, I would watch that for sure. So are you. So you're. You're a star. You're a movie star? We've. We've been over this.
Hank
Yes. Ever Since. Ever since PMT eight years ago.
Big Cat
You went from YouTube to being a movie star.
Hank
Went from YouTube to part of my take.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
And then straight to the film business.
Big Cat
Yeah. And then it just. It actually. What was that. What was that woman's name named Bobby Altoff. They're like, she's a plant.
Hank
Yes.
Big Cat
Jimmy's actually a plant. PMT plant. He's an industry plant.
Hank
I was a pmt.
Big Cat
The studio execs were like, let's plug this guy into PMT and see where it goes.
Hank
And then. And then it happened. They were like, holy, holy. Who. Who is the next guy that they've planted?
Nick Wright
Two.
Big Cat
Two dudes that didn't even know who Jimmy was, interviewed him, and, man, it's going awesome. All right, so. But what are we. Are we ready for, like, our first, like, super serious. Let's win an Oscar role? I think you should.
PFT Commenter
I think there might be one that he's working on right now.
Big Cat
Can I Throw one. Oh, yeah. Well, I just watched. I just saw a Complete Unknown with Timothy Xiaomi.
Hank
Yes.
Big Cat
Was awesome in it. What if we did the Sublime Story and you were Bradley?
Hank
Dude, they're actually working on that.
PFT Commenter
Oh, really?
Big Cat
Shit.
Hank
And I actually was going to audition for it, but it said you have to know how to sing. And I was like, dude, I. I can't. I can't sing.
Big Cat
Yeah, that's.
Hank
I. I have no faith in my singing.
Big Cat
You would have had the SoCal thing down, though.
Hank
Yeah, I would have had the SoCal thing down, but the. The. It's. He's a singer. Yeah, the guy is a singer.
PFT Commenter
So they need somebody that can sing. Like, Chalamet going to play Brad Knoll, too.
Hank
I think he's. Chalamet will be playing everyone.
PFT Commenter
Is. Anyone who can sing. Yeah, yeah, that. That would be perfect for you. And I'm glad that they're making that movie. Yeah, that's like. That's everything that I want out of biopic, but, yeah, playing somebody else. Have you ever done that? Have you ever, like, had to, like, go back and play somebody who existed and you learn all about them?
Hank
Yeah, I played. I played this guy, Bert Kreischer.
PFT Commenter
Oh, yeah.
Hank
And I mean, I really had to dig, to dig deep to get in touch with who he was back then. Yeah. That's the only biopic I've done. I think, like, I've taken a bit of a stance against biopics. I'm somewhat anti biopic.
Big Cat
Really?
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Why?
Hank
I just think, enough, okay? We've done them all and people are starting to get the rights to stories before they're even done happening.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Like, it's like something, like, news breaks, the Luigi Mangioni thing happens.
Big Cat
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Hank
And then it's like someone gets the rights the next day.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Like, dude, this hasn't even finished happening yet.
Big Cat
Okay.
Hank
Let the story at least end before you buy the rights to it and start casting someone to play the person.
Big Cat
Counterpoint. I don't read. And that's how I learn about things through somewhat fictional. Yes, yes. That's. So you're kind of. You're making me even dumber than I am. And I'm already pretty dumb, so I need. Because I'll go see a biopic, I'll watch it, and like, oh, that was kind of cool. And then I'll read the guy's Wikipedia and I'll be like, oh, cool. And then I'll forget about it. But that was like that. That's kind of how I learned Now.
Hank
So you think pretty much every notable thing that's happened follows for some reason, like, the same story structure?
Big Cat
Yes. Yes.
Hank
Like, they all kind of. It's weird.
Big Cat
There's always a love interest halfway through.
Hank
Yeah. They always, like, get a girlfriend.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
They all get into it. Drugs.
Big Cat
Yeah. Struggles. Then they hit it.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Then they're a little too. They. They hit the fame a little too hard.
PFT Commenter
But then.
Big Cat
Yeah, it is crazy.
PFT Commenter
They give a good speech at the end and talk about how they turn their life around, and after that, everything's great.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Right.
PFT Commenter
Cool.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
I actually. When we were shooting this movie, this was my. One of my first experiences with. With Reese. I. Witherspoon. Witherspoon. The. The. Have you heard of the restaurant in la? Like, two years ago, like, the number one restaurant in la, and it came out that the head chef had been murdering cats.
Big Cat
What. What's the place called?
Hank
Wild Jacking Off.
Big Cat
Oh, it's not the same guy who had just come out and say that he never jerked off on his cat, right?
PFT Commenter
No, that guy didn't come anywhere near his cat. The cat wasn't in the room.
Big Cat
That was. That also happened.
Hank
No, this. So this was a real thing that happened in la. And this story broke.
Big Cat
What restaurant?
Hank
It was called. I Don't Want to Put him on Blast. But it was called.
Big Cat
Well, I mean, it sounds like if he's murdering cats.
Hank
The New York Times put out the article, so, you know, it's public knowledge. But it was called Horses.
Big Cat
Yeah. Okay.
Hank
And it was like.
Big Cat
The restaurant was called Horses.
PFT Commenter
It was called Horses. And then the chef accused her husband of killing their cat.
Hank
Yeah. Like, the divorce proceedings came out, and apparently the husband had been murdering cats.
Big Cat
Okay.
Hank
So, like, when this story broke, it was huge news. Everyone's phones are going off, and I'm on set of the movie and I'm, like, seeing this and I get the text and I'm like, oh, my God. And Meredith Hagner, who plays my wife, is like, what? And I tell her, and she goes, oh, my God. Right as Reese walks up. And Reese is like, what? And I'm like, oh, no, it's just. It's nothing. You know, I don't want to be the guy that's, like, telling her this. It's like my second interaction with her, you know, I don't want to have to tell her this story.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
So I'm like, ah, it's just, you know, some crazy story in la. Merritt's like, tell her, Ginny. Like, okay, well, you know, the restaurant Horses. She's like, yeah. Apparently the chef's been. He's been murdering cats. She's like, oh, my God. I'm like, I know, right? And I like, go. Walk away. Meredith's like, no, Jimmy, tell her the while. While jacking off, she was like, oh, my God. And I'm like, that's now my first impression. I'm the guy that was like. I'm like, the cat jack off guy.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. You were looking at your phone looking for stories about masturbating.
Hank
Yeah, she. And I'm like, this is not how I wanted my first impression to go here.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
My Google alert went off. It was a jack off cat story.
Big Cat
I got it set up. But that actually. I mean, I've always been alert. It's thrilling to break news to people. I don't know if that's the news you want to break to someone, but it is thrilling to break news.
Hank
It is. I just didn't want to be the guy breaking that news because then I was like, there's an immediate association now with me and this story.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah. She looks at you and she thinks of cats being. Come on.
Hank
Yeah. In my head, that's what was about to happen.
PFT Commenter
Now Netflix has the rights to the story, so it's gonna. A movie.
Big Cat
That's.
PFT Commenter
That's really what it is. Anytime something happens, you see people immediately just say, like, oh, I can't wait for the neck. The Netflix documentary about this.
Hank
I said this on set. And then one of the producers was like. I hear her, like, almost say to herself, I wonder who has the rights.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Are you serious? This happened today?
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. Oh, you should. When they do the hawk Tua story.
Big Cat
Maybe you could be pookie. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Or just a pookie documentary.
Big Cat
Yeah. There's a lot out there, a lot.
PFT Commenter
Of meat on that.
Hank
Is she still going?
Big Cat
Is she still on her run?
Hank
The whole meme coin thing. Thing, kind of.
PFT Commenter
The rug pull. Did you invest in that?
Hank
And, dude, I lost it all, man.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
Someone had a incredible tweet that basically was like, did you ever go on the Show Ellen? Ellen DeGeneres? Did you ever go on her talk show?
Hank
No, but I know the tweet you're talking about.
Big Cat
Yeah. Someone was essentially like, it's very clear now that Ellen DeGeneres was the apex predator in Hollywood, and she would take, like, in. If she was still doing her show, she'd have Hawk to her on for 10 minutes and, like, chew her up for all the content, spit her out, and we'd never hear from her again. And now without Ellen, we just have these people running around. She did it to. Damn. Daniel.
Hank
Remember, it's like Yellowstone. It's like Yellowstone. We need the wolves.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
The wolves need to be there.
Big Cat
Ellen was the wolf. And now we have all these people who get a little bit of fame and they just become. They're selling meme coins and stuff.
Hank
Daniel fucking Alex from Target. I just saw photo that was like, alex from Target turned 27 today. Yeah, right.
PFT Commenter
Was that from. From American Sniper. There's. There's wolves, there's sheepdogs, and there's sheep.
Big Cat
Yeah, right.
PFT Commenter
I guess Ellen, she was the sheep dog.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
So she's protecting the sheep, us. From the wolves.
Big Cat
Yeah, right.
PFT Commenter
Like, damn.
Big Cat
Daniel just takes him, spits them out. And now we got Costco guys who are going to be. I mean, I love the Costco guys, but they're going to be around forever. You should probably. Maybe that's the youngest you can play. Maybe you could play Big Justice. Are you familiar with the Costco guys?
Hank
No way.
Big Cat
Oh, God, you're. I'm so jealous of you.
PFT Commenter
Boom.
Hank
Oh, they're the. That. I didn't know they were the Costco. Why are they the Costco?
Big Cat
That's where they started. They just started doing videos in Costco.
Hank
That's like the. The Rizzler, right? Yeah. And his older brother and dad, they're not related.
Big Cat
I'm happy that you're. You don't know this fully because it's always. Whenever I have to explain this to someone, I feel so much shame.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Like. Yeah. So they're these guys and they do these videos and they just say, boom. And they're like, what? Why is that funny? I'm like, you wouldn't get it, man.
Hank
And they're the ones that have. They have the. The podcast room next door, right?
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah, right, exactly. We're trying to hire Rizzler.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
He'd be a perfect Will Compton.
Hank
He is like, remember Lil Perio?
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Yep.
Big Cat
Yeah. He played, I think, college football somewhere.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. All these guys are getting older, and it's. It's. It's shocking to see them not just staying the same age.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Like, Lil Therio, he was, like, 12, and he was, like, smoking blunts with rappers and stuff.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
And everyone's like, man, it's so funny. He was like, almost like Hasbullah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
But he was actually 12.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
So it was certainly not okay.
PFT Commenter
I think the Rizzler is just an American response to Hezbollah. I think that we saw what they were Doing. And we're like, we have to develop our own.
Big Cat
Right.
PFT Commenter
Then we get the Rizzler.
Big Cat
Aren't you happy that you've gotten into movies and like this? Because, like, there was probably a career path for you when you were, like, starting out on YouTube that you would have right now. You'd be like, I have to do a collab with Big justice and the Rizzler.
Hank
That would be tough.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
To keep the money coming in and.
Hank
Also, like, getting a. No.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Like, so he's a bit busy and you're, like, bummed. You hate to admit it, but you're kind of bummed.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Fuck. I was really banking on doing this collab with the Rizzler.
Big Cat
Yeah. You think?
PFT Commenter
The Rizzler.
Hank
12 and he just big leagued me the Rizzlers.
PFT Commenter
Probably too late to go to a diddy party, right?
Big Cat
Yes.
PFT Commenter
What were the diddy parties like?
Hank
Oh, man. No, dude, I actually. Well, said I was. I'm not gonna say I was offended, but I just. Seems like a lot of people got invited. Got invited?
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
You think anybody's lied about going to a diddy party right now? Just for the clout? Oh, hey, heads up. Yes, I was there a couple times, but I always left before midnight. Or that's so. Anyone that's saying I was there after midnight, that's a lie. And they just weren't there at all.
Big Cat
The reverse. Is it? Yeah, the reverse. Yeah. People, like, five years ago were like, yeah, I've been to a bunch of diddy parties. And now they have to retroactively be like, I was lying about that.
Hank
Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
Like, I wasn't. I actually wasn't there. I was just trying to be cool because we were like, hey, haven't you went.
Hank
Right. You used to go all the time, right? I was. I was lying. Yeah, I lied.
PFT Commenter
You use it to, like, cancel a date.
Big Cat
Sorry.
PFT Commenter
I did. He invited me. I gotta go.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And then you end up marrying that chick later.
Hank
Yeah. This guy I was seeing used to go to a lot of dirty.
PFT Commenter
Oh, the bridesmaids reading the texts after, like, their first date that they. They got sent when you knew she was the one. Now he couldn't make it to the second one because he was at a diddy party. Oh, no, that doesn't look so good. That's not as romantic as I thought right now.
Big Cat
So I think because we played. We had you on right before Beer Olympics and then we played disc golf in Grit week.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
I don't know if we talked about it on the podcast yet. But Real Bros was great movie. You literally had a storyline about podcasters.
Hank
I know.
Big Cat
And you told us we were going to be in it. And then it just popped up. And it was not just one podcast, it was multiple podcasters. And it was. It seemed like we could have just done a clip from this studio and just sent it to you.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Like here, this is a five second cameo that you can use.
Hank
You know, I. I said. I said it before. I'll say it again. There's. There's no excuses. I. You know, I up. I up.
PFT Commenter
Well, in reality, I think me and Big Cat would have just, like, the opportunity to say no.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Because we're very lazy.
Big Cat
We never got the opportunity.
PFT Commenter
If you had said, hey, we got a spot for you. We wrote it in. All you have to do, fly out to LA for two days, shoot your shots, go back, then we would be like, that's a lot. That's. That's a lot of travel.
Hank
That was where my head was at. It was a 10 day shoot. So it was, you know, we had to move fast and. Yeah, but like I said, you know, in hindsight, I fucked up.
PFT Commenter
Okay, I appreciate that.
Hank
But I did want to ask. You mentioned Hasbullah, and I was curious, what happened to that guy? Is he still going strong? Because I think he is. He used to grace my feet all the time. Yeah, he was really active, and I haven't seen him in months, maybe a year.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, he'd be like, punching some random celebrity all the time.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
That was like his job.
Big Cat
He'd be slapping someone. Yeah. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I don't know. What, I do think that the Rizzler just took over.
Hank
You think?
PFT Commenter
I think. I think the Rizzler might be CIA.
Big Cat
I also think it was bad when Mike Tyson met the Riz or Hasbullah and thought he was an actual baby.
Hank
Yeah. And, like, picked him up and was taking.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I would like to see proof of life for Hezbollah, though.
Big Cat
Yeah, it'll be nice.
Hank
Yeah. Do you think he hates the Rizzler? Do you think there's beef?
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Has to be. Has to be there. I mean, the Rizzlers, he's a star. You'll be playing the Rizzler at some point. Should we talk about LeBron James completely hijacking your organization?
Hank
We can talk about it. Yeah. I'm open to discussing it.
PFT Commenter
How. How dynamic of an athlete do you think Bronny will be?
Hank
I was alarmed to find out he was only six foot one.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
I mean, that was a while ago now, but I guess in my head he was like six, seven.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Hank
And then when they said he was six one, I was like, that just changed my whole perception of his size. His length is all of it.
Big Cat
Yeah. And six one's not like that's short in the NBA.
Hank
That's just small.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
He doesn't look small though. And he's like, the way he's dunking, it doesn't look 6:1.
PFT Commenter
Well, he was listed at what, 6, 4 in college?
Big Cat
Yeah, I think so.
PFT Commenter
I think so. And then they measured him at the jump. That's, that's a tough three inches.
Hank
Is that, is that a shoes off six one?
PFT Commenter
I think so. I think that's how they measure.
Hank
Yeah, but like, why do they measure? They're wearing shoes on the court, I.
PFT Commenter
Guess so that everybody. So that some people. Occasionally I will wear my shoes that are my tall shoes.
Hank
What are your tall shoes?
PFT Commenter
I'm not wearing them right now, but my tall shoes.
Hank
Are they Hokas? Because Hokas have a lot of.
PFT Commenter
They're Nike 720s and they're honestly about 2 inches in the heel.
Hank
Wow.
PFT Commenter
That I can pick up on a good day. So I know when I'm wearing my tall shoes.
Hank
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
If we have a tall guest coming in where they're like 6 foot 7, I will put on my tall shoes and still get roasted in the picture afterwards.
Hank
And then what do you jump up to with your tall shoes on?
PFT Commenter
I jump up to probably 5, 10. Yeah, I, I think that's probably why. Because you could wear your tall shoes at the combine when you measure in.
Hank
Yeah, but like, you can't really wear tall basketball shoes. I don't know. I guess my, my argument is you're not on the court barefoot.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. I, I do think that there's a case to be made that LeBron James is a great dad. He's a fantastic dad for getting his son drafted. Yeah, like, who wouldn't want that?
Hank
No, I, I think if you can do it, you do it.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Hank
If you have a chance to play with your kid, you play with your kid. Yeah. It's an absolute no brainer situation for LeBron.
Big Cat
But this iteration of the Lakers does feel like it's just basically LeBron's doing like a legacy couple years here where he's like, I'm just going to do. Which again, I would probably do the same thing where it's like, hey, I've done everything. I've played in the NBA for 20 plus years. I'm just going to do whatever I want. Hire whoever I want. Have fun. But it's got to be a little frustrating watching the Lakers being like, hey, could we try to win games?
Hank
Yeah, it's. It is. I mean, I. The second we drafted him, I knew I was like, damn it. We've just signed up for, like, a novelty situation.
Big Cat
Yeah. Right.
Hank
Which I'm happy for him. But, like, they got the photos, you know? They got the photos already.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Of him. You know, they're on the court doing the dad son hug some passes. I think maybe they just are waiting to get like an. An oop.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Hank
And then once they get the oop, then. Then it's like, okay, we can move on.
Big Cat
If you got cut the next day.
PFT Commenter
I thought it would have been perfect. If they got him on the court that first night and he took a three, I think that was his first shot. If he just drains a three and then checks out and everyone, like, standing round of applause and you never hear.
Hank
From him again, and you never know what he could have done.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Hank
Because then the legend would grow. They'd be like, he might have been better than LeBron.
Big Cat
Yeah, right. And he also. You could be like LeBron James most amount of minutes in NBA history. And Bronny James Jr. Played the least amount of minutes played 30 seconds.
PFT Commenter
It would have been so good.
Big Cat
That would have been cool.
PFT Commenter
Are we at the point where we can say the once proud Laker franchise when we're talking about the Bronnie situation?
Hank
That's. No, that's. That's absurd. We're talking about a dynasty here.
PFT Commenter
Of what?
Hank
What, I guess of a franchise, of family.
PFT Commenter
Okay, but right now, don't you have.
Hank
To win once proud. No, no, no, no. It's an always proud situation.
Big Cat
Always proud.
PFT Commenter
But the once proud franchise has now turned itself over completely to LeBron James.
Hank
It's not once proud. Like, once proud would be like. Like the Patriots.
PFT Commenter
Okay.
Hank
You know, the Patriots were once proud. Now they are not so proud.
PFT Commenter
But the Patriots won a Super Bowl. When was the last time they won the Super Bowl?
Big Cat
I mean, the Lakers haven't won a title since Kobe.
PFT Commenter
He's going to count 2020. Yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
He is going to try to count toy, Troy.
Hank
I'm going to count 2020.
Big Cat
Okay, well, we don't count 2020.
Hank
Yeah, but you have to count 2020.
Big Cat
Oh, you don't. We literally don't.
Hank
So, I mean, I think 2020 is. You take all the fans out, it's.
Big Cat
Gonna do the hardest thing.
Hank
It's.
PFT Commenter
That's the only correct response that you're doing.
Big Cat
Yeah, they went to basketball camp in Orlando. Weird that the old guy who didn't have to travel or play any away.
Hank
Games ended up winning the home court advantage. It just. It's just them in there. If anything, it should count more.
Big Cat
This is sounding like he's not.
Hank
If anything is no pride. 2020 counts the most.
PFT Commenter
This is the correct answer, though. If you're defending the Lakers, you have to go all the way in the other direction.
Big Cat
Absolutely.
Hank
Listen, you take out all the distractions, and you just boil that game down to who's truly the best.
PFT Commenter
Everyone plays on the same court.
Hank
Everyone plays the same court.
Big Cat
No traveling for the guy who's in his late 30s.
Hank
No traveling. You know, tougher on those young guys. They haven't traveled as long.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
So if anything, they had the advantage. They enjoyed it more. They don't have families. He had to deal with missing his family.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Hank
The older guys have to deal with that.
Big Cat
Yeah, that's true.
Hank
If anything, that was just a testament.
Big Cat
Are you at the level where you can get courtside Lakers tickets? Do they give them to you?
Hank
No, I've been courtside. I have a buddy who has some courtside.
Big Cat
Okay, how does that work? Do they give, I would assume, half of the celebrity sing. I think a lot of.
Hank
A lot of agencies have. Have courtside tickets. So then if you, like, really. I mean, like, they usually give them to, like. Like, you'll see, like, Rihanna. Like, I think, you know, you're on the same level.
PFT Commenter
She has no ball.
Hank
Me.
Big Cat
Yeah. Listen, we're the number one Jimmy Tatro podcast because we need you to be an A lister so we can be like, Right. Our A list friend, Jimmy Tro.
Hank
I know I was actually supposed to be. I was under the impression I had courtside ticket to the Knicks last night.
Big Cat
Oh.
Hank
My manager was like, hey, got us courtside tickets. And then we ended up being in, like, the third row, which, you know, I didn't want to. I didn't want to be, like, complaining.
Big Cat
Were you on the Jumbotron?
Hank
I did go in the Jumbotron from the third row. Yeah. And everyone. Everyone was like.
Big Cat
So it was a kiss cam or something.
Hank
Yeah, me and him.
PFT Commenter
That's tough. Third row. How'd you deal with that? Like, you. At that point, you would almost not want to be on the jumbotron.
Hank
Yeah. They're like, hey, can we show you? I was like, you're still showing me.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
PFT Commenter
Could you hear Spike Lee?
Hank
He was pretty close. I couldn't hear him. But he was like. I mean, I don't think he was very vocal last night. I think I would have heard him. But he was even. He was like 10, 15ft away.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I respect Spike Lee because after all these years, like he's still at Knicks games.
Hank
Just.
PFT Commenter
That's the thing. I think he probably cares about the Knicks more than anything else in his life. Yeah, that's a guy that cares about basketball.
Hank
I mean, how. If you look at the amount of Knicks games he's been to compared to. I mean, what's his last movie? Was it blackkklansman?
Big Cat
I believe so.
PFT Commenter
I don't know. I don't know if there's a while ago. How come he gets to say a Spike Lee joint? Nobody else gets to say joint.
Big Cat
Yeah. Why don't we get a Jimmy Tatro joint?
Hank
I guess you could say join. I don't know what that means. Like credit wise. If you put joint up there. Like if it. If it. Like something up.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
In the paperwork. And maybe he just doesn't care. Like maybe he's getting it like a joint. A joint buy credit instead of like a created or written. Yeah, he doesn't have any. He doesn't have any writing credits. It's just jointed by.
PFT Commenter
It's so funny because he also. So when you talk to somebody about Spike Lee films, like I was talking to my mom when Blackkklansman came out and she said, I'm gonna go see this Spike Lee joint at the theaters.
Hank
My mom said, my mom's like 80.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it's a Spike Lee joint.
Big Cat
I love that. Yeah. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
It is pretty cool how you can brand yourself that way.
Big Cat
Yeah. He's cornered the markets of joint.
PFT Commenter
So it's a tetro bong.
Hank
Yeah. I gotta take you.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Bong Bong is better than a joint.
Hank
I thought. I thought you said bomb. Oh, that works too. It should be a cool thing. Like a bomb should be a good thing.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Like.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Movies.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Like it bombed like a. Yeah.
Big Cat
But no, it's not.
Hank
It's bad.
Big Cat
It's bad. It's bad.
Hank
Maybe I could rebrand Bomb a Jimmy Tatro bomb.
PFT Commenter
I like.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
You could. You could try.
Hank
I could try.
Big Cat
Yeah. Support it. Is real. Bros done?
Hank
I think so.
Big Cat
Ah, I love it so much.
Hank
For now, at least. I mean, I.
Big Cat
So you're not saying maybe. Maybe still has something?
Hank
I. Yeah. Not. It's. We did what? We gave it the ending. We wanted to give it. We had Tony Hawk play adult Hawk. Hawk's older than me. Hawk dies of old age. Spoiler alert. If you haven't seen. Yeah, but like, I really saw Hawk dying as being like, that's it. The ending. Maybe there's, you know, a spin off somewhere down the road. I don't know. But it's not what I'm thinking about things.
Big Cat
I just love it so much. Yeah. Everyone should go watch it. Watch the. The seasons as well. Yeah, that makes sense, though. Yeah. I mean, it was a good movie.
PFT Commenter
And you put obviously, like a lot of time, a lot of thought, your heart into writing this series. And now, you know, you're doing a lot of acting. Are you still carving out time to, like, work on writing?
Hank
Yeah, so I am working on another show right now. That it is. I don't want to jinx anything, so I don't want to say anything that hasn't happened, but it's set in the snow.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
And there's a wood chipper and they're dogs. And one guy. Oh, one guy's a dog. Car salesman there.
Hank
That's not where my head was at. But there. There could be dogs, boners.
PFT Commenter
Is it animated?
Hank
It's not animated. It's not animated.
Big Cat
Set in the snow. Watch this French avalanche movie. It fucking sucked. Don't do that.
Hank
The Alpenist.
Big Cat
Yeah, that sucked.
Hank
Yeah, I heard the ending is no good.
Big Cat
I don't even know if it was that.
PFT Commenter
No penis. The alpinist. That was the. The mountain climbing movie.
Big Cat
No, it was like literally a French movie where they were all at a resort and then there was an avalanche and the husband didn't immediately save the kids and wife and then it was.
Hank
Just boring as it. It was in French.
Big Cat
Yeah, I think so. I think that was probably the issue for me.
Hank
Who was the main.
PFT Commenter
I don't know, French guy?
Big Cat
I don't know. I'll look it up. Don't do that movie is what I'm saying.
Hank
You don't strike me as the kind of guy that'd be watching French films.
Big Cat
I got tricked into it. I saw like, I. I started it. And I think the avalanche happens really quickly. So you get hooked and then you're like, wait, is this subtitles the whole time? That just kind of fucked me up. I'm a subtitles guy all the time.
Hank
I'm a big subtitles guy.
Big Cat
Do you know what? Actually, can you do this for me? Because I did go to the movies last week. Can you talk to someone in Hollywood? There needs to be an option. Like they have an IMAX option. They need a subtitles option.
Hank
I completely agree. With this.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
I was actually thinking it'd be cool if there was like. Because I get subtitles when I go to the movies because I can't hear very well. Yeah, but like, when you buy a subtitle device, I mean, you don't, you don't buy it. Wait, but when you get a. You can go to any theater and say, can I get subtitles for the movie?
Big Cat
Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, but how do you do that?
Hank
Well, you don't want to do it because what they hand you is this 3 foot long metal stick where you stick the end in the cup holder. And then you like crank the subtitle into position in front of you on a screen. So there's like a little screen that you get that has kind of a shield around it so the people, like to your right and above you can't. Like there's no light.
Big Cat
I didn't even know this.
Hank
So you, you angle it so it's right under the screen. And then you kind of have to like, because it's so close, refocus, you know, to do that. And it is like loud. Like if you want to move it, it's. And you're walking around, you know, getting popcorn, holding this massive pole. I'm like, I just want to understand the movie. Yeah. And you got me walking around this theater looking like a fucking idiot.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. I had no idea that these theater.
Hank
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Do they like check some sort of card from you or anyone can get it.
Hank
Yeah, I bring my, I bring my hearing test. Slide it across.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
And they say, yep.
Big Cat
Wait, you get that every time?
Hank
I do. But a lot of times, like IMAX, they don't do it for, for like 70, 75 mil or 70 millimeter IMAX.
Big Cat
So they need to have it be a theater where it's just subtitles.
Hank
Yeah, they do need that. Because I'll go, yeah. Like, I went to. I forget. I saw one recently and it was 70 millimeter IMAX. And I was like, hey, could I get the, the subtitles? And they go, oh, no, this is 70 millimeter IMAX. And I was like, yeah, no, I'm aware.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
And they're like, yeah, that would ruin the viewing experience.
Big Cat
But I can't hear.
Hank
What if I can't hear? Well, how about my viewing experience?
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
By the way, the movie was called Force Majeure. Sucked.
Hank
Force.
Big Cat
Force majeure. Force Majeure.
Hank
But I didn't used to do that. But my brother, he has a worse hearing loss than me.
Big Cat
Volleyball player.
Hank
Volleyball. Deaf volleyball Deaf volleyball shout out.
Big Cat
Olympics is going to the Olympics.
Hank
Tokyo in November.
Big Cat
That. Is that the Olympics?
Hank
That's the Deaf Olympics. He was in the Deaf World Championships last time I talked to you guys. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
So the Deaf Olympics this upcoming November.
Hank
This upcoming November, Tokyo.
PFT Commenter
What are the expectations?
Hank
I'm going, baby.
Big Cat
Yes.
PFT Commenter
Are they, are they the top seed?
Hank
They are not the top seed. Now Turkey, I think, is the top seed. They're good.
Big Cat
Do, do they really? Like, like, are there any times. Controversies?
Hank
Well, I. That.
Big Cat
But would it even help the Turkish team?
Hank
Well, cuz you can't communicate.
Big Cat
Got it.
Hank
So like there's a lot of communication in volleyball. You have to take your hearing aids out. You can't talk to each other. You can only sign. But I would, I was like, you know, seeing these Turkish guys and I'm like, I'd like to see some hearing tests.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
I don't think that guy's deaf. You should bring like a behind him. Like, hey, yeah, hey. I don't know if I told you this last time, but there was one time where they would like keep playing. The whistle would blow, but like. Yeah, they can't hear the whistle.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Hank
So they just keep going and going.
Big Cat
Stop, please stop.
PFT Commenter
Turn on like a giant red light in the stadium. Yeah.
Hank
How does the deaf track meet go?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
You know, the gun goes off and everyone's just.
Big Cat
You got it. We gotta win. Can we bet? We gotta figure out a way to bet on.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, you can definitely bet on this.
Big Cat
I want you guys to win.
PFT Commenter
Is this, is this indoor volleyball or is this beach volleyball?
Hank
Indoor. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
So we're expecting gold.
Hank
We would like gold.
Big Cat
Yeah, I'm expecting.
PFT Commenter
You have to expect it.
Big Cat
I'm expecting.
Hank
We're expecting gold. We are.
Big Cat
I'm expecting gold.
Hank
But he was the one that introduced me to this whole. I didn't even know, like you could go to theaters and do that. Yeah, so now I do, but I'm embarrassed about it.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. They need to make it. So it's shame free shame. Like give anybody. And I guess everybody does have the option, but put it. Yeah, make it. Make it well known to everyone. We're going to do this. It's going to have subtitles.
Hank
And also when you ask the people, they, they all have them, but everyone's response is, oh, yeah, I. Yeah, yeah. I'm like, did you have to react like that?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
No one has ever asked for this before.
Big Cat
Dust them off.
PFT Commenter
They call their manager. Yeah, yeah.
Hank
If I was, you know, a little more anal about things, I could. I'd cause a ruckus about this.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, should.
Big Cat
Absolutely.
PFT Commenter
Cause I like watching. I. I watch squid games, but I do it with. Not the subtitles. I do it just with the overdubs, which I guess is. Is bad for the actor.
Big Cat
Right.
Hank
Because you don't want to do the dub.
PFT Commenter
You lose out on all the actual inflection and the acting of it. But also, I'm very lazy, and sometimes I'd rather just hear than have to read.
Hank
Well, also, with the. With the dub, you lose other sounds too, you know?
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Hank
Because think about it, like, if they're on set or like, if they're recording our dialogue and, you know, you're hearing. You know, I sit down, you hear the couch as I'm talking, you know, and that's in the same sound clip. When you dub it, you lose other sounds.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Hank
So then they gotta, like, manufacture it. Like little things.
PFT Commenter
They don't, like, put a chair in the recording studio and have you sit down as you're talking.
Hank
I don't think so.
PFT Commenter
Have you ever done any dub work?
Hank
I did. I dubbed a animated movie from Japanese to English called Airbound, and I played a mouse named Matthew.
Big Cat
Oh, that's a big role.
Hank
It was huge. But it's funny because they give you. They like, give you the script, and it's the same sentence somewhat, but they write it in a way where it kind of looks like what's being said. So you're trying to match to what already exists. Whereas when you do it the other way around, you record all the audio and then they animate to your voice.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Hank
So it's harder to. To dub.
PFT Commenter
So you have to, like, get notes about what the other voice actor, where the inflection was, how it was said, and then you try to mimic that the best that you can.
Hank
Pretty much, like, you see it and then you see the line and you're like, try to match it as well as you can. It's not. It's not going to be perfect, but you just try to match it as well as you can. I also learned on that thing that, like, when it's a kid show, everything goes up. You know, Like, I'd be like, here we go, here we go. They're like, no, here we go.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah.
PFT Commenter
Everything has to be exciting.
Big Cat
I know. Watching shows, my kids, they all have the same.
Hank
It goes up.
Big Cat
Yeah. And it drives me nuts.
Hank
It's not how I say things, but that's like, what the. I don't know.
Big Cat
Kids. Just.
Hank
Here we go.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. Because in a kids Movie, like, every two seconds, you have to actively keep the kids attention.
Hank
Yeah, right?
Big Cat
Kids watching right now big into Minions, which is. I love Minions.
Hank
That's awesome, because Minions are hilarious.
Big Cat
Yeah, they're hilarious. Moana 2. I've been watching that a couple times, but then it's like, we'll mix in the. Like, there's this, like, Ms. And some Ms. Rachel. There's Ms. Rachel, but there's like a Ms. Katie or something that sings songs, and I want to just put a bullet in my head.
Hank
What about Blippi?
Big Cat
Blippi they watch, which I know the backstory of Blippi, and I don't know if I'll ever tell my kids that, but.
Hank
Is it dark? Oh, no, it's not dark. Biopic coming.
Big Cat
Yeah. Blippi. Blippi made probably the funniest video I can ever. I think the funniest Internet video. If I had to pick one all time. Blippi created it and. But then has gotten scrubbed from the Internet. So it was. What was the Harlem Shake? Remember the Harlem Shake fad? There was a Harlem Shake. It was two guys doing the Harlem Shake and the beat drops, and they're in the bathroom. And then when the beat drops, I can't remember if it was Blippi or his friend, but whatever it is, one of the guys was then taking a shit across the bathroom into the other guy's asshole. And I've never laughed harder.
PFT Commenter
Projectile diarrhea it is.
Big Cat
You can't find the video anymore. It was one of the funniest videos I've ever watched in my entire life.
PFT Commenter
And that's Blippi.
Hank
And that.
Big Cat
Yeah, that's flippy. That's what my kids watch. Yeah, yeah.
Hank
Was the Harlem shake 10 years ago?
PFT Commenter
It was nine, I think. Right. We did one. One of our first videos that Big Cat and I ever did. We were at the Niagara Falls Museum, right.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And dressed up as a couple of Canadian guys in 2016.
Memes
That was a mannequin challenge.
PFT Commenter
Oh, that's a mannequin challenge. Okay. Yeah. Harlem Shake. Yeah, it was probably 10 years ago. Yeah, thanks.
Big Cat
But that's. Yeah, they watch Blippi. They like Blippi. And I'm just sitting there like, all.
Hank
Right, The Niagara Falls Museum is. It is at Niagara Falls.
PFT Commenter
That's amaz. Amazing. Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Is it just a room with a window where you can look at Niagara Falls? And that's the museum.
PFT Commenter
They have dioramas in there of, like, this happened near Niagara Falls at some point in history.
Big Cat
They have the picture pretty Much the coolest thing the Niagara Falls ever had was, I think outside of Harry Houdini was the time when they stopped it for like a while to.
Hank
What do you mean stopped it?
Big Cat
They shut down Niagara Falls. They found a couple bodies. They like had to do an ecological study or whatever you call it.
Hank
It you never seen damning things. The water. How do you first stop the water in order to build the thing that stops the water?
PFT Commenter
Dams freak me out.
Big Cat
Oh, that's a good question. I don't really know.
PFT Commenter
Like I. I have the same question about cranes, about giant cranes. When you see like a huge one that's taller than any building in the city.
Hank
Right.
PFT Commenter
How do they build that crane? Was there another crane, A bigger crane that came in.
Big Cat
Tunnels, but.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, tunnels blow my mind. Underwater dams do freak. Yeah. Just underwater engineering in general.
Big Cat
General.
PFT Commenter
No idea how it gets done.
Big Cat
Find the picture.
PFT Commenter
Some questions are better left unanswered.
Big Cat
He wasn't listening. Niagara Falls when they stopped it. That's a good Google.
Hank
When they stopped it.
Big Cat
There it is. Stopped. 1969. Look at that. They just stopped that. Isn't that crazy?
Hank
If you told me that was like a little. Like a really little.
Big Cat
Yeah. It doesn't look as good. Yeah, it doesn't look as impressive, but yeah, they just stopped it. I think there's like four of them and they stopped three out of four of them. Pretty crazy, huh?
PFT Commenter
We used to go over Niagara Falls and barrels all the time. We as a species.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And there hasn't been a barrel guy for a while.
Big Cat
Pussification of America.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Hank
There's a lot of jump guys that jump off of.
Big Cat
I watch those videos.
Hank
My feed has been taken over by these.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
They do like 10 backflips and then just land in water.
Big Cat
Yeah. Oh, those guys. I thought you were talking about the skyscraper guys like in Russia. But yeah, the guys who are doing the jumps and they always do the thing where they get their hands and together at the. Yeah. They throw a rock to break the tension. Yeah. And then there's like some dude in Norway who's jumping like 180ft with the.
Hank
With the hammers.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Have you seen that guy? Crazy with the two axes?
Big Cat
I watch it every time.
Hank
Like why. Why the axes? It's cool.
PFT Commenter
So this guy takes two axes and he just jumps off cliffs into the.
Hank
Water and like axes the water when he lands.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
That's pretty fucking badass.
Big Cat
It is badass. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I love that.
Big Cat
Yeah, I. Yeah, the. The. The feed like seeing all these guys that. It's Just so funny to think about, like 20 years ago. Like, were these people doing this thing or was it because social media now exists that everyone's got their thing and.
Hank
They keep pushing the. The record. Like the world record Death dive.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah. We're going to watch them die.
Hank
Someone. The winner will die.
Big Cat
Yeah. And I will watch it. It will. I'll see it on my Instagram feed and be like, sensitive content.
Hank
Are you seeing a lot of videos? Because I'm seeing a lot. I'm see of. I wish I was seeing less death.
PFT Commenter
I saw a lot of death like four months ago.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
I feel like that's when it. It was always like the next video you'd be watching on X and then the autoplay next video would be like somebody getting shot in El Salvador.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And it was like, there's just. There's too much death going on social media right now. I don't know if I changed something or if they changed something, but I feel like I haven't seen as much recently.
Big Cat
Yeah. There was a stretch where I'm pretty sure I saw every single person die in the Ukraine war.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Like, I just saw every single soldier that died. I just saw him.
Hank
I would see. It would seem like a. Like a unsuspecting video would be like the definition of fuck around and find out.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Hank
And I'd be like, oh, cool, it's gonna be a little fight or something.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
And it'd be like, you know, an argument and then someone pulls out a gun and like kills someone.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
I'd be like, dude, it's 9:00am yeah.
Big Cat
Or it would be like a drone footage of like a barren wasteland. You're like, oh, this is interesting. What the hell is this place? And then it just like goes down and it's 10ft above, like some soldier just begging for his life and then they kill him. And it's like, oh, okay, I guess I watched that.
Hank
I deleted X.
Big Cat
What the. Everything happen.
PFT Commenter
It all happens on X.
Big Cat
Why?
Hank
It was just depressing me. Everything I was seeing on there was just like, I'm jealous. It was just bad. I didn't like anything I was seeing and I was like, I go on here. I see depressing information and just terrible opinions and then I get mad.
Big Cat
Wait, so are you. Is your relationship with the Internet now, Like, you don't get any feedback? Because that's incredible.
Hank
No, I mean, I still, like, I'm still on like, Instagram.
Big Cat
Right. But is. Are you getting feedback there? Are you looking at the comments section? Like, are you Getting. Are you just living your life, essentially? Which is. Sounds incredible.
Hank
I think so.
Big Cat
That's awesome.
Hank
But, like, feedback in one sense.
PFT Commenter
Like, you read the comments, obviously, on your Instagram post.
Hank
Yeah, I don't read all of them, but I, you know, see the.
Big Cat
Yeah, peruse.
Hank
See them.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
Okay.
Hank
But, like, it's not like. It's not like when I was, like, posting YouTube videos where I would, like.
Big Cat
Read all the comments when I would.
Hank
Like, post, like, every week for, you know, I, I. You guys are posting things consistently. So there's more of, like, a feedback dynamic.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. I guess what Big Hat means is just, like, reading all the comments. Like, you post anything, and then people have an opportunity to tell you what you screwed up, and then you focus on those people, and then you get bummed you don't do that, that you don't live that lifestyle.
Hank
Not anymore. No.
PFT Commenter
That's pretty good.
Big Cat
I do like the idea of you because you don't have Twitter anymore. Like, if you don't post a lot on Instagram, like, maybe you go, like, six months, and then someone finally gets their takeoff about, like, real bros. They've just been waiting for you to post something so they can comment under it. Bring something up from two years ago.
Hank
Oh, there you are.
Big Cat
Yeah. Oh, finally.
Hank
Yeah, finally.
Big Cat
Why. Why'd you choose this plot point?
Hank

Big Cat
Whenever your tax bracket went to the highest.
PFT Commenter
Always after the bees. Yeah, it was after your bees.
Hank
After the bees.
PFT Commenter

Big Cat
Yeah. We're so stupid. But it is. It's like one of the coolest things we do in our. Like, one of the coolest things we get to do in this job is, like, become actual friends with people we interview and. And become part of the show. So. And Jimmy. I was good. What I was going to say is Jimmy was in New York last night for the premiere, is flying back to la, and he's like, you know what? I'll fucking stop in Chicago and see you guys.

Hank
I think it's time for an action role.
Big Cat
Ah, I love it.

Big Cat
This is a terrible set.
PFT Commenter
This is from 11 years ago, so put yourself back in that mindset. They asked you if you could share the screen with one other actor, who would it be and what genre? You just replied with the actors. You gave two of them. Will Ferrell. Oh, check second. Jim Carrey. What's Jim Carrey up to these days?

Okay. We now welcome on our good friend. It's been too long. It is long time, long time. It is Nick Wright. You can see him every day on Fox. First things first, Fox Sports. You can get his podcast with it. Which is what. What's the name of the podcast again? What's right.
Nick Wright
Jesus Christ, man. You're not helping me. No, I'm not with Nick Wright, son. Yeah, it's me and my son. Yeah. Subscribe, follow on YouTube, Spotify, whatever.
Big Cat
It should have been the right stuff.
Nick Wright
What's rights? What I called my radio show when it started at Syracuse and in Kansas City. So all my audio stuff's always been called what's right.
Big Cat
Yes, it should be the right stuff. I'm just, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, but it should be the right stuff. Or you could call it, you know.
Nick Wright
What, we'll consider rebranding.
Big Cat
Yeah, I mean, that's not hard to do the right stuff. Like, I, in my head, I was like, it's the right stuff. Right? Because that's intuitively an incredible name. And then it's like another way to.
Nick Wright
Look at it is that name's been taken and it's been used, and so this is new. Can I ask before? Because I know we're going to talk chiefs, Can I ask pft a specific question first?
PFT Commenter
Yes, I.
Nick Wright
Sorry, I do. I'm bad podcast guest because I'm just used to hosting. So I. So I apologize. All right, so, PFT. If I said in June of 2028, an asteroid is going to hit Peru and cause damage the likes of which we haven't seen in centuries, and everyone's like, you're crazy. That's. That would never happen. It's never happened in recorded human history. And then In June of 2028, an asteroid hit Uruguay. Am I more right or. Than the people who said it would never happen? I was dead wrong. There's a reason I'm asking this, but just answer that.
PFT Commenter
Well, I'd say that you're like, you're off by like 900 miles. That's not, that's not close.
Nick Wright
Oh, you think it's not close? Because I would say I'm like 99% correct, 1% wrong.
PFT Commenter
So here's what, Let me ask you, Dick, what were you wrong about that you're claiming you're right about.
Nick Wright
Well, if in August, I say for the first time in NFL history, a rookie's going to be playing to go to the super bowl and make the super bowl, and that rookie is going to be a Heisman Trophy winner and that rookie is going to be a top two pick, and that rookie's going to have a connection to Cliff Kingsbury. And then this all happens and everyone's like, oh, you're an idiot. You said Caleb Williams was going to make the Super Bowl. And I'm like, I basically called it. I was off by, as you put, 900 miles. But I'm more right than everyone else.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Nick Wright
Like, I am the most right about this.
PFT Commenter
I, I'm going to disagree with you on that, but that's okay. I think that I admire the fact that you were willing to put your balls on the line for a table take. You've never been afraid of that. How in September of this year, I said, after the Commanders beat the Cardinals, I said, I think that this team can lose the NFC Championship Game. That's how good I thought they were.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
So in the, in, in calling the NFC this year, most right? Pft.
PFT Commenter
Yep.
Nick Wright
Second most right. Nick Wright.
Big Cat
Well, so I want to defend you, Nick, because I think also you were so Danny Parkins, who everyone should watch his show. He's with Stink and Carton. And I, I know Danny. Danny's your best friend. N he, he joined Fox in the summer. I, I always saw it as you trying to help him and being like Caleb Williams. Like, I would watch you talk about Caleb Williams and be like, he's doing this for Danny. I, I appreciate it because anyone talking about the Bears quarterback like, this is awesome, but so I actually don't think you were that wrong. Have you thought about Play One's Cards Right as your name of your podcast? I'm going to think of some more.
Nick Wright
No, I, I, I, I'll stick with what's right. But on the Danny note, so he, in the spring was in New York for a conference and came on the show for the first time ever. And this was way before, like, it was even thought of between here. I like, wait, FOX might hire you full time, do a show. And on that show we talked the Bears and Caleb because they had just drafted him. And I went over the top because I had already been a big Caleb guy guy with Caleb stuff. And then the second time on the show was the time When I said I might pick the Bears to make the Super Bowl.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
And our group of friends was like, that might be the scummiest thing you've ever done to a friend, Nick. Like, you are elbowing Danny off the Caleb corner. And I said, you got it exactly right. I was like, I'm playing 40 chess boys. I'm trying. I'm elevating the storyline and also making it so if Danny ends up being a full time person here, no one can be like, oh, you're a Chicago homer. Because he will be taking a more conservative position than me.
Big Cat
I saw right through it. I was like, I actually thought it was one of the cool, like, best friend moves you could do because you also were just taking all the reckless takes so that he like his takes while also reckless. Because we all said some really reckless shit about. Right. But they're.
Nick Wright
I'm the human shield. I'm the take.
Big Cat
Shield.
Nick Wright
Shield. Nobody's like, oh, this homer from Chicago. Everyone's like, Nick's an idiot. Yeah, that's exactly how I felt about it.
Big Cat
I.
Nick Wright
You know, another thing I don't get enough credit for.
PFT Commenter
Thank you. So to any of the haters out there that might ever say Nick Wright sometimes says things that he doesn't truly believe.
Big Cat
No.
PFT Commenter
In the name of generating buzz and discussion, you're saying that those people are absolutely correct.
Nick Wright
No, I'm not saying that at all. Because I thought the Bears could make the Super Bowl. I thought they had all the things in place and by evidence, by the fact that this Eagles team made it, it's pretty clear anybody could make the super bowl in the nfc. I. What I said was, oh, I'm sorry, is Max or Maze or Hank any of these? I don't know. Somebody's going to get mad at me and they don't care. The no I thought the I do I to answer that. And then we can talk Chiefs. I never say anything I don't believe. I say things I believe more stridently and at a louder volume. But you guys know this. You do too much content to keep track of lies. If I had. If I had to, like, remember what I was supposed to believe is too many plates in the air. I'm not Red Panda can't do that.
Big Cat
So. So we should all judge, basically. Like, if you're watching Nick. Right. And I do think you're insanely talented. The more. The more striding you say it, the more with your chest you say. That's really, like you're kind of ramping it up. Why have you never said, like, something with your chest, like, LeBron has never done steroids?
Nick Wright
Well, I mean, that's. That's such an outrageous accusation.
Big Cat
I did that.
PFT Commenter
Whoa.
Big Cat
I did not. I didn't accuse.
PFT Commenter
He said he hasn't.
Big Cat
I didn't accuse LeBron. I said, why haven't you said LeBron has not done steroids?
Nick Wright
I mean, I said, why haven't I said big cats, 12ft tall, like, things that are obvious. I. You don't need to say. I just don't.
Big Cat
You went straight to. You went straight to the accusation. I did not accuse LeBron of doing series. I said, why haven't you said LeBron is not.
Nick Wright
Hey, can we talk about the Chiefs and about how in your guys.
PFT Commenter
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Big Cat
Nick.
PFT Commenter
I think. I think Big Cat brings up a good point, which is LeBron's career. Here's. Here's what I believe. LeBron's career has been so different than anybody else's. The man is amazing. He keeps doing stuff into his late 30s that nobody has ever dreamed of. Forget about Michael Jordan.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Forget about anybody else. This man is the best basketball player in the history of the world. And frankly, I think that it's an outrage.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
That more people haven't accused him of doing steroids. That's how much I love LeBron James.
Big Cat
It's a great point for.
Nick Wright
Well, up until the dismount, I was thinking, wow, I'm. I'm on the screen for the greatest moment in, pardon my take, history. Like, finally, some truth being told about LeBron on the show that you guys don't have to bring me on to do. I didn't love the end of it, but it is. It listen. And that is actually, as I try to segue to the Chiefs, a first cousin of what's happening with the Chiefs. The Chiefs are so great that it must be a conspiracy. It must be rigged. They have broken people's brains in a way. Those people who make those ridiculous, unfounded, without any evidence whatsoever allegations about LeBron have broken people's brains. But speaking of the Chiefs, can I say one thing to you guys about your post game?
Big Cat
Yes.
Nick Wright
First of all, I appreciate that you guys have. I look at the Chief's commentary as the. That bell curve meme where the dumbest people and the smartest people, if you asked them any time about football, they're all like, I don't know, the team that always wins the super bowl is probably going to win it. And then the pretend smart people are like, well, the Ravens D. VOA is top five all time. And the Lions point differential. Dan Campbell's got. It's like, no, it'll be the Chiefs. The. Oh, and I appreciated that you guys have not fallen into this referee fever dream.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, well, we still discuss it.
Big Cat
Yeah, we, we let people be angry. Bill's fans, we. Our biggest take is I, I don't like when people are really far on one side or the other. We want. I think I thought he got a first down, but it's not the reason the Chiefs won the game. The Chiefs won the game because they're better than the Bills. They're better coached than the Bills. Bills. But if you're a Bills fan, you should spend the next six months complaining about that first.
Nick Wright
Well, yeah, because it allows you to spend the next six months not thinking about back to back years. Josh Allen down three points, ball in his hands and zero combined points. I know that's verboten on this show because he's a 12 time guest and I know that it's Sean McDermott, it's everyone else and Josh is. Listen, Josh is excellent. I also would say Kyle Brand, like Kyle Brand, who's as big of a fan of Josh Allen as you guys tweeted right before the drive. Drive. Josh Allen was put on this world for this drive. Biggest moment of his career. Whatever happens. What happened was he got 17 yards. But my only issue was you got. You kept saying if they scored there. Yeah, it's a two score game because.
Big Cat
They were going for two.
Nick Wright
They were up one. Oh, they would have. And that's the two they would have gotten. You killed them for going for two so much.
Big Cat
That's the two they would have gotten. No, no, here's, here's. It was actually a compliment to the Chiefs. You're so, you're so in your own head about like, you know, seeing shadows everywhere and being like, oh, this guy said something bad. I was actually saying while we were watching the game because we watched the games live and we Live stream. Yeah, I was saying that. And they might not have gotten it because they couldn't get two yards all day. I was saying that if the Bills during that drive, I was like, if they score here, they should go for.
Nick Wright
They should.
Big Cat
Because there's no way that you're beating Mahomes if you keep it a one score game with 10 minutes left. I was like, the only way that the Bills can win this game is to make sure that it's a two score game late in the fourth because otherwise Mahomes going To win. So that was kind of my whole thing going into the game. During the game I was like, you got to step on their throat. If you leave it a doubt, Mahomes will win.
Nick Wright
That's 100% right. The only other way to win the game and you really have to like thread this needle. But if somehow you can get the ball back down less than a touchdown with call it to pick a random number, 3 minutes and 33 seconds left, all timeouts and actually have your superstar quarterback come through. Yeah, that's the other way you could win the game. And they've now had two bites at that apple and back to back years and they haven't been able to do it. Listen, I, I, I think he'll, I think he will win a Super bowl eventually. But we're were the somebody is going to be left without a chair in Justin making the super bowl in the afc. And certainly the, the problem is that I would worry about for Josh is if, because I think he'll beat the Chiefs in the playoffs one time, he's too good and they're, the games are too close. Is it going to be hard psychologically to then like recalibrate and be like that wasn't the Super Bowl? Yeah, the bigger like that's why the NFC is just, just that's why PFT is in such a great spot is it's like maybe you make the super bowl in the one in four years, the Chiefs aren't there and if you do it is you are at the top of the mountain winning one game. All the AFC teams, it's like we have to beat the end boss and then have another game to play, which is brutal.
Big Cat
Jalen Hurts has already been to more Super Bowls than Aaron Rodgers. That's what the NFC is right now. All right, so I got a question for you and this is, I want your honest opinion.
Nick Wright
Great.
Big Cat
This is a complete hypothetical, but if Josh Allen were on the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes were on the Bills, would how many Super Bowls would Josh Allen have gotten to? Because I do, I obviously think Mahomes has proven it more in the clutch. I'm not saying Josh Allen's better than Mahomes. I always say my home is the best quarterback. But I do think at this point there's a lot of coaching and defense that I think Josh would have been at least to three Super Bowls probably because he's played that.
Nick Wright
So that's, I think that's so Colin, our friend Colin Cowherd said yesterday to me that that exact Scenario he's like, Josh would have more rings. That's too much.
Big Cat
I think that. Yeah.
Nick Wright
Right. What I would remind the audience of is what Josh has never had to deal with in Buffalo, and it's a testament to McDermott is what Mahomes had to deal with with his first three years in Kansas City, particularly the first two. Horrific defense. So like the. And so I. So that is something we haven't seen Josh have to overcome that. I'm not saying he couldn't. But if in your right now it is five appearances, three rings to 00. If it were flipped, I think Josh would have been to 2 and 1 1. And I think Mahomes would have been to 4 and 1, 2, 2. So that's what I. That's what I think would have been the scenario because I think Mahomes.
Big Cat
That sounds like an advanced.
PFT Commenter
Which Bills teams would.
Big Cat
Would.
PFT Commenter
Would Patrick Mahomes have taken to the Super Bowl?
Big Cat
Give us the hypothetical matchups.
Nick Wright
Okay. So the. I think there is no question that in 2022.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Nick Wright
That bill's team with Mahomes instead of Josh, the team that got rolled by Joe Burrow at home, which was weird. That team was also. I think 2021. It probably would have gone Josh the way it went. But Josh is weighing Kansas City last year with Tyreek. But I think. I think the early Josh Allen Bills teams. 2018 is a year like to think about both of their first years a starter. That defense was good. They had just gone to the playoffs the year before with Tyrod Taylor. You dropped Mahomes on there. It's to me a similar situation is when you dropped him on Kansas City. City.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
And so like those are. Those are ones that come to mind right now, this year for sure. Like so. But whatever.
Big Cat
And now. And now. And. And I don't think you'd say the same for Lamar because I do think Lamar has had teams that have been really, really good on both sides of the ball. And he's had really good coaching and he's. He's fallen. I see Josh and Lamar is different.
Nick Wright
No, of course. Listen, everybody gets so mad at me. Lamar's Aaron Judge Judge. And there's nothing wrong with it, but he's Aaron Judge and everyone thinks that like the. I. I used to say James Harden, but people have such a dislike of Harden's like athletic character that it. And everyone loves Lamar the person and how. So take that out of it there. The Peyton Manning is the obvious comp. But if we want to switch to right now, this Moment. Zaron Judge, which is like, on a day in, day out basis in the regular season, you're like, is this the best player in the sport or certainly in the, you know, top two or three. And then come the playoffs, it's like, man, every time, again, we don't have to relitigate this, but every regular season, it's, Lamar's the best player in the league. And every playoffs it's like, you know why they lost? They put the ball in Lamar's hands too much. And that's a little, you know, that's. That's a little frustrating.
PFT Commenter
What do you think about those, you know, the listeners out there that might hear that and say there's a better comparison for James Harden in today's NFL. NFL?
Nick Wright
Who's that?
PFT Commenter
Patrick Mahomes.
Nick Wright
Oh, the flopping.
Big Cat
Yeah, good point.
PFT Commenter
What would you say to them? I'm not saying that.
Big Cat
Good point.
PFT Commenter
But there are people listening right now that are like, I can't believe he said James Harden. And then Lamar.
Big Cat
Yeah. Taking advantage of the rules.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. James Hard, very smart player.
Big Cat
I like that.
PFT Commenter
You're probably pulling up some stats right now because you.
Nick Wright
I was actually cleaning something. I'm not. This. The. The. This. The keyboard skier. I was cleaning something. Something there. Sorry, I. I had to kind of deter because when Big Cat texted me yesterday, come on. First I snap, said yes, and then I was like, hey, promote the podcast, which he took so seriously. Didn't know the name of.
Big Cat
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Because I don't.
Nick Wright
I don't. I don't want to, you know, so obviously I'd love for some of your listeners to, you know, sample my stuff. So I was debating whether or not I want to alienate them, but, you know, my. My North Star is the truth. So what I would say to anyone who actually believes there is any type of comp between James Harden and Patrick Mahomes is you're the dumbest fucking sports fan I ever heard. And so, like, the. My pod's probably not for you because it'll. It'll confuse you. And so it just wouldn't be fun. And so that's. That's what I would say to them.
Big Cat
Okay. I do.
PFT Commenter
We do say. Especially after the Bengals game this year, the Chiefs Bengals game, where people were talking about the passenger, the alleged pass interference at the end. People do have Chiefs derangements in. Yeah, they do.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And anytime.
Nick Wright
You guys have said this all year.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, they.
Hank
It.
Big Cat
I call it.
PFT Commenter
It's like Chiefs of gate. Whenever anything bad happens, they start to Connect all the dots and be like, oh, this ref lived in Missouri for two months when he was 23 years old. And they start to tie all this stuff together. The fact of the matter is the Chiefs have been just the better team and the better coach team with the. Maybe the best quarter. Actually, that's a good question for you. What does Patrick Mahomes have to do to surpass Tom Brady to be, in your eyes, the greatest quarterback of all time?
Nick Wright
So I already think he's the best player ever, but he's not the greatest quarterback of all time. I know that's a very. That's more my style of argumentation than your guys. I get that. That's very. But I think he's the best player we've ever seen. I do think resumes and accomplishments have to weigh a ton and so Brady gets to be called the goat. I think that if they pull off the three peat, you can. And someone wants to say he's now the greatest of all time, it's at least an allowed opinion. Right now it's not an allowed opinion, but that to me is a big enough accomplishment. It would be. Be for me to say it as passionately and clearly and articulately and really brilliantly as I've said. The LeBron's the greatest player of all time. I think they, if he does the three peat, one more super bowl and it's a wrap plus an mvp, one more great regular season plus another super bowl, and it'd be him. If they don't do the three peat, he probably has to get to six.
Big Cat
Okay.
Nick Wright
Probably. Or. I think this is big.
PFT Commenter
A lot on the table.
Big Cat
Repeat is huge.
Nick Wright
Yeah, no, this is, it is a. After the, you know, you walked into Bucks, Chiefs and listen, that game, it actually kind of gives me solace because it was such a blowout. Because if that was a close game and I was sitting here thinking like, man, it would be 6, 4 right now with Mahomes having the head to head victory with a chance for like, if they had won that game, it would be maybe already the opinion.
Big Cat
Right.
Nick Wright
And if not, certainly one game away. But they got rolled, so such is life.
Big Cat
Yeah. And now the, the three. All right, so you're, you're obviously, you know, going around. I feel like you're the number one Chiefs fan right now. What's your favorite stat that you just show up to, to people and you're like, hey, did you know this? Because I would imagine you have a lot of them when it comes to Mahomes or Reed or even Kelsey where you're just.
Nick Wright
Yeah. You want like a fire hose of them.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
So many to choose from.
Big Cat
Yeah. Give it to.
Nick Wright
Thanks to that Bills game, Patrick Mahomes now has trailed in 53 fourth quarters in his career, which sounds like a lot, but that's every single loss. Like every. Like that. It's not going into the fourth. It's at any point. He has a winning record in those games. In games he's trailed in the fourth quarter, he's 27 and 26. Nobody else has won more than 37% of their games in the playoffs. You mentioned this Josh Dubo stat. He's trailed in the fourth quarter nine times. They've won six of those. He's six and three. And the. So he's played 20 career playoff games, 11 easy wins, nine times trailing in the fourth, six victories, one overtime loss where he never got the ball. But the, you know, the NFL didn't change the rules because of it, because we're not the Bills. Another overtime loss against the Bengals where he didn't come through. And then down 31 to nine entering the fourth against the Bucks. Blowout Mahomes. The. What was the. There was another. Oh, you said it. The, the. He scored on 13 or 14 of those drives.
Big Cat
Yep.
Nick Wright
The, the Mahomes already has won more playoff games. 4 When his defense allows more than 28 points than any player in league history. Tom Brady and Pton Manning combined won four playoff games in their entire careers when their defense allowed more than 28 points.
Big Cat
That's pretty crazy.
PFT Commenter
Maybe he shouldn't score so quickly. Yeah, maybe he's trying to give the ball back to his opponent. Maybe he shouldn't just throw these, these, you know, 70 yard touchdowns to Tyreek Hill.
Nick Wright
Well, turn the ball over. I, I mean the, the, the. So the. I think that there, you know, Mahomes, the one time he didn't come through was the overtime the second half against the Bengals. That game ended. Or his last time touching the ball was a perfectly thrown pass on third and long to Tyree. Kill that. But it was in double coverage. It was a risky ball, but it was perfectly thrown. Went off Tyreek's hands and then it was picked and they lost. Since then in the playoffs, Mahone Mahomes has one turnover worthy pass since he lost a playoff game throwing a risky pass. He has made zero. Well, I shouldn't say zero because he threw the pick in the super bowl and he fumbled here. But those are the only two turnovers and he's only thrown one Ball really in jeopardy. And so I just, I think he is such a different caliber of clutch athlete that it is, we are like the. He is. His ability to diagnose exactly the style of game of play it would take to win a particular game and be able to play that exact style is unlike any quarterback I've ever seen other than late stage Tom Brady. And where Brady deserves all the credit in the world is he was at his, you know, kind of physical best late in his career and then also had all the institutional knowledge, which is why he was so dominant, you know, into his 40s.
Big Cat
Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, it is crazy to watch. It's. He thinks the game better than anyone. You can see it when you're watching it. And it's really just. I say it over the over and over. Going back to the chief derangement and everyone talking about the flags and everything. The reason why the flags always feel more consequential is the Chiefs. If you give them an inch, they will take a mile. That is what a championship team does. If you, if you make a mistake with them, they will capitalize. And that's what they do. And that's why it feels more significant sometimes. And that's the specialness of Mahomes and Andy Reid and Chris Jones. Okay, quick break from Nick Wright. Does everybody know what season it is?
PFT Commenter
It is soup season.
Big Cat
It's hockey and soup season, but it's also tax season. And Hank, you know about tax season. How are you feeling about it this year?

Nick Wright
Before. Before you go pft, can I give you one more stat that is not a Patrick Mahomes stat. But it is. George Carloftis has more playoff sacks than Lawrence Taylor, Aaron Donald, J.J. watt, Derek Thomas. And that's a Patrick Mahomes stat.
Big Cat
Right.
Nick Wright
It's because George Carloftis has just spent his entire career in the playoffs, so now he's already in the top 30 all time in postseason sacks.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, no, that. I, I'm glad you brought that up. That is, That's a very impressive stat. You can go all day with these Mahomes stats because they. He's been so great for so long that he really. You can point to a lot of things and say, this guy's the best, but you will always be the second biggest Patrick Mahomes fan in the world because Dylan Raola exists. Have you thought about maybe cutting the hair, wearing the turtleneck thing? Like modeling your entire life after Mahomes?
Nick Wright
So here's the thing, the raiola thing, because he, he has a relationship with Patrick and like, so Patrick's fine with it. So it doesn't. You know, I think a lot of people were more bothered by it or found it more cringe worthy maybe than Patrick did. But what I would say is this. Gotta play better, kid. Like when it was like, this guy might win the Heisman, I was like, this is sick. But when it was, when he went in that slump, I'm like, nah, that's not cool. Like, you can't. The. I mean, I feel like if PFT commenter. If your career had really gone askew and you were like on Infowars or whatever, then I, I feel like maybe floral would have been like, change the branding, buddy.
Big Cat
What do you mean?
Nick Wright
Became you. It ended up being great for everybody.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
PFT Commenter
No, that would be awesome though if I, if I was doing info scores for Alex Jones, that then that should be called what's right. That would be the name of my show.
Big Cat
Yeah, your.
PFT Commenter
Your podcast should actually be what's wrong? And then you just admit all the stuff that you were wrong about.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
So I, The. The only long form like, like profile ever written of me was the. In Kansas City, there were a couple alt weeklies like what the Village Voice was for New York or whatever called Pitch and Ink. And one of them wrote, this guy spent a week with me when I was 26 and spent a week with me. My family went out with us, all of us. And I thought it was going to be this glowing piece about how, you know, this kid from Kansas City who was on the second rate radio station in town, was trying to take down the Heritage station and in a quest to one day become America's biggest sports talk host. That was. That was how I thought the article was going to be written. Instead, the COVID of this paper is me with my pointy fingers, shaved head, my nose at the worst angle imaginable, pointing at the microphone, and the headline blazed, what's Wrong with Nick Wright? And it is 15,000 words about how this kid whose radio show is in 17th place is delusional and just saying, I'm going to beat this guy, then beat that guy, then get this job, job. And the whole premise of the article is that there's a crazy person on the radio in Kansas City and it's called what's Wrong with Nick Wright?
Big Cat
Oh, my God.
PFT Commenter
That's great bulletin board material, though.
Big Cat
That is.
Nick Wright
I have it in my office. I don't have it up here, but I have it up where I watch football. I have it framed in my office.
Big Cat
Oh, you got a football office. I love that.
Nick Wright
Hey, I've got a good TV setup. My, like, that's a big fight with the wife is like, how much real estate in the house? Oh, yeah, goes to 20 Sundays a year of just a wall of televisions. But you guys know what I'm talking.
Big Cat
Way too many TVs in my house. All right, so question just about how you. How you do your job every day, because again, I think you are very, very talented. I know you agitate people, but that also is what happens when you win. But do you ever send, like when you're sucking off Patrick Mahomes so hard, do you ever send him like a clip and being like, look what I did today at work. Like, did you love it?
Nick Wright
No, I've never. You're the. Okay, first of all, never. Maybe in that language. But you're the second person that's asked me that question. Like, do you ever send Lebron or Mahomes clips of you talking about and answer the question? And I think that's such an absurd idea. Like the. Evidently, it's a thing. It must be a thing. Thing people think might happen because you're the second person to ask Me that. But I just can't fathom, like, me be me, me waxing poetic about Mahomes in the AFC championship game. Then, you know, copy link, text Patrick, like, hey, did you see this today, buddy? No, I've never done that. Now, as far as you know us copying or you know each other, I will say this. Before the football season last year, obviously got the never a doubt tattoo. Oh, and Patrick Mahomes, who rarely if ever tweets 45 minutes after winning the super bowl, sent out his first tweet of the playoffs, a picture of him holding both trophies with only a three word caption. Never a doubt. So if you're asking me, like, do I think my, you know, my show is regularly on in the facility. Well, why wouldn't it be? If. Just a compliment fest. Yeah, Like, I think that if there was a, if there was a TV show that you, that you had a reliable good chance that if you turned it on, they were just going to be like, and here's reason 68, why PFT and Big Cat are the greatest that ever existed. You probably have it on in the.
PFT Commenter
Background somewhat often, but it would be nice if occasionally momes or, or LeBron would say just on their own, hey, Nick, Nick. Like, if they, if they defended you the same way that you defended them.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
You know, if somebody's dunking on you online and LeBron steps and he's like, hey, my man Nick makes some really great points here. You got to say, you did it again, Nick. Nick is now 98 and two going up against, against Kyle and these debates and over.
Nick Wright
You know what? That's a good point. Yeah, it should be more of a, you know, two way street. And I've never really, you know, I've never thought of it that way, but I, I feel, listen, I'm just out here. The every. They're like, oh, Nick, you're a chief's apologist. And first of all, it's nothing to apologize for. They win every Super Bowl. Second of all, I'm not an apologist for anything. I'm a truth teller. Like, people used to call me a Bills hater. And then this year when everyone idiotically was like, oh, I like what the jets are building or it's the Dolphin chair. I'm like, no, the Bills are, are going to be where the Bills always are, looking awesome. Tricking the media into thinking this is the year they beat the Chiefs and then losing an heartbreaking fashion probably in the conference championship.
Big Cat
Not a Bill.
Nick Wright
Say it again.
Big Cat
Not a Bill. Hater that last sentence. Not a Bills hater.
Nick Wright
No, I, I'm a truth teller. I'm a truth teller.
PFT Commenter
The most honest people always remind themselves.
Nick Wright
As I've been about the Chiefs.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
I have been more right about the Bills the last five years. I called them overrated with they were. I called them underrated when they were. I, I, I've never missed on the Bills ever.
Big Cat
Yeah. Okay.
PFT Commenter
What about the Birds? What about the Eagles? It sounded earlier like you were looking down your nose on the Eagles.
Big Cat
Yeah. You've been talking junk about how look, you did, you did. I saw your, your clip where you're like Howie Roseman basically goes on the message boards and drafts all the players from Georgia.
Nick Wright
Basically got every Eagles take wrong.
Big Cat
Yeah, you were way record.
Nick Wright
I, I said, I said, hey, Howie, maybe, you know, draft kids other than Georgia kids and who the mock drafts want you to take. Turns out maybe that's just what everyone should do. Just follow the mocks. I said, and I quote, saquon Barkley won't be a difference maker. He then had maybe the greatest single season of running backs ever had.
Big Cat
Yep.
Nick Wright
And I, I had the Eagle. I had the Commanders finishing second in the NFC east east, which sounds great, but it's not second to the Eagles. It was second of the Cowboys with the Eagles coming in third. No, I, I whiffed as big as someone can whiff on the Eagles and I just have to own that. I thought that the collapse at the end of last season was not, they weren't going to be able to get over it. And I looked at, I looked at both the big running back acquisitions, Derek Henry and Saquon Barkley as man, those teams were awesome at running anyway.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
Like, why is that where you're spending your resources? And I was just as wrong as you could be. And so now, now we get, Listen, they get a ch. They. Nobody looks at it this way, but they denied a three peat already because the Patriots won 16, 18 and were in the Super bowl in 17, lost to Nick Foles. It didn't feel like denying a three peat because it wasn't at the end. So they have a chance to do it again. And if, listen, if Jalen hurts in these next two weeks can learn to throw like Nick Foles, they might be able to win.
PFT Commenter
Oh, all right.
Big Cat
So Max, our producer is a diehard Eagles fans. Max, you have anything to say to, to, to Nick? Right? Obviously he's on your, your shit list. He has to be.
Max
Yeah, no, I was trying to think of why he was on my shit list this entire time, I couldn't quite remember. I mean, he said a lot of things about the Eagles this year.
Big Cat
Yeah, but the Howie Roseman part, I remember that clip where he's like, howie Roseman just. Just takes anyone who's on the mock draft. Then the media.
Max
Yeah, they say he's a, he's a. He's a Twitter. A Twitter gm.
Big Cat
Yeah, that one was wrong.
Max
Well, I mean, he's made some pretty good moves.
Big Cat
Yeah, Yeah, I.
Nick Wright
No, I got it wrong. And shout out to Max, personal growth is important. You listen to my whole Eagles thing. You didn't have to take a mental health lap like you did with, with Big Cat a few weeks ago. So that's all good. Like, I, I think it's all. That's.
Max
That's true. That's gross growth.
Nick Wright
It is growth. And I see that that fathead of Jalen Hurts behind you. I assume that's moments before he scans the field, sees open receivers, and then decides to tuck and run.
Big Cat
Oh, you could have gone even hurt. Like, I think Jalen hurts. I saw a status like 25% of his throws this year have been throwaways. That's the, that's the big. Jalen Hurts just scanning the field and then throwing it, you know, 10, 10ft into the stand.
Nick Wright
What do we make, Can I ask questions? What do we make of the Straight Jacket comment? Why do the Eagles, when everything is going well, decide to meet with the media and just be like, let's create Nobody was six weeks ago, the only story around the Eagles was Vic Fangio transformed the defense. Saquons are going to break Eric Dickerson's record. And then A.J. brown's like, passing sucks. We got to get better at it. And everyone freaks out. And then everything seemingly is fine and they're winning a playoff game. And A.J. brown's like, now's the time for me to break out this book and I've got to listen to Eagles fans be like, he does it all the time. I'm like, well, it's literally never been caught on video on the sideline ever. And the Eagles are. A lot of their games are on tv. And then this week, Jalen Hurts is like, finally took the straight jacket off me. Which again, not to be too psychological. Handcuffs are used to prevent you from harming others. Straight Jacket is if you, if they, they're worried you're going to harm yourself. So the, the, you know, the deep seated psychology of it is my coach thinks that I'm going to hurt us, hurt our team. So he tries to prevent it. And so I. Listen, don't worry. I'm sure that despite all that, Nick Sirianni is going to out fox Andy Reid in these 10 days and get it all taken care of. Not worried about that at all, Max.
Max
Well, there was a picture of A.J. brown reading inner excellence.
Nick Wright
Yards and 15.
Max
Well, I stopped listening when he said there was no, there was no photographic evidence of him.
Nick Wright
I said, video check the tape, my friend.
Big Cat
It's.
Max
That's tomato, tomato.
Big Cat
Nick just. Nick just basically was like, your quarterback is worried about hurting himself and he needs a straightjacket. And you're like, yeah, but the A.J. brown point, you're wrong.
Max
Well, I mean that was just. That was the first thing that came to my mind. I mean, how am I, I'm not, I'm not going to win this fight.
Big Cat
I don't know.
Max
I don't know how to battle here.
Nick Wright
I don't, I don't play with. With any luck logic.
PFT Commenter
I. Yeah, so go ahead, fight him with no logic. Tell, Tell him that he's an idiot. Tell him that Philly's the best Jaylen.
Max
Herz coming off his best game of the year. And then the last time he had his best game ever was against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. So there's no reason to believe that he can't do it again.
PFT Commenter
What happened?
Nick Wright
Listen, that the best game is better this year. Yeah, sorry, I didn't. The best game Jaylen her ever played is that super bowl game. And I would argue it is the single best game any player has ever played that also included them making the play that lost their team the game. I, I think it's the. I, I think it is the. I, I think of all the games where one guy made a totally unforced catastrophic error that cost his team a championship, he played the best in. Wow, that game.
PFT Commenter
It's gotta be so awesome to be Nick because that was another Mahomes stat that Max just gave you. He's like, he played the best game he's ever played in his life. You're like, yeah, he was. That's the best quarterback performance I've ever seen ever. And the Chiefs beat him.
Max
That was, it was a good performance. He shouldn't have fumbled. It was a second quarter fumble.
Nick Wright
Yeah, no, that I actually, I'm being unfair and I, the, that I actually think that fumble was probably a little overrated. It was third and six anyway. If he just gets stuffed, they're gonna punt. Obviously the Chiefs are in scores of.
Big Cat
Their Chiefs and You. You. You know, Max, like, the reason or. Nick, the reason why I have Max around is like. It's. It's like softball practice for us. And you can see that in, like two seconds. You're like, oh, this is. You guys are just keeping around so you could just do a little slow pitch.
Nick Wright
I. So I. Again, I feel. I wish you guys had me on at some point, if the Steelers somehow ever played in a game that mattered, because I'd much rather argue with that idiot Steeler fan who a couple years ago, Sento. Really? Really? Oh, what's the word? Off color. I'll say tweet. Either about me and my wife or about me and someone, but it was. It was me. It was the. The. What's the stupid Tom Green college movie?
PFT Commenter
Freddie Got Fingered?
Nick Wright
Yeah, no, not that one. The. The good one.
Max
The road trip.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, yeah, the one. Was it road trip?
Nick Wright
Road trip?
PFT Commenter
Yeah, it was road trip.
Big Cat
Road trip.
Nick Wright
Road trip. You know that the. The skinny nerdy white guy that is in bed. He some, for some reason sent that picture out and said live look at Get Nick. Right?
Big Cat
And I'm like, I don't know if.
Nick Wright
That'S about me or about my wife, whatever it is, but I really actively dislike that person. I don't know his name. I know he's an idiot, and I know you guys torture him and make him try to hit hole in ones and.
Big Cat
No, that's his own doing. Jerry. Jerry goes a little too hard, and we have to. We've put some guardrails in since I've. There's been times where I've had to clear tweets and he. You know, listen, we've worked on that. We've looked in the mirror. If it helps at all, Jerry was addicted to crack for a lot of years.
Nick Wright
Really?
Big Cat
Yeah. He was. Yeah. He's actually a great story. Like, he's helps a lot of people, so. But yeah, that one. That one, I'll say. Jerry went too far.
Nick Wright
So the point I'm making is I have nothing against Max, and I actually think he's. Oh, here it is. So I got it wrong. I. I got the story wrong. I'm a text to you what he did. Okay, here it is. I mean, I've found it.
Big Cat
Listen, whatever you text me is not even in the top 10 worst thing tweets that Jerry's set.
Nick Wright
Oh, I'm sure. But regardless, it pissed me off because I never came for this idiot.
Big Cat
Yeah, no, that's fair. That's totally fair.
Nick Wright
And so I. I. Oh, my God. I sent out a picture of me and my wife out celebrating something, and he reposted it with the Malibu Most Wanted thing.
Hank
Yeah.
Nick Wright
Or whatever that was. I don't know what it was, but it made me mad. So, Max, this isn't for you.
Big Cat
You probably said one. One mean thing. Not even mean thing. You probably just said one thing that he viewed as negative about TJ Watt, and then he went nuclear. That's all it takes for him. Literally. That's all it takes.
PFT Commenter
You might have said, miles Garrett is a better player than probably what it was. Yeah.
Big Cat
You probably gave Miles Garrett the defensive player of the year, and he went absolutely nuclear because that's how. He's.
Nick Wright
How's he going to deal when they trade TJ Watt for first and a third?
Big Cat
He. We have. We've. We've. We've done a little trial balloon with that with him, and it has not gone well. So. And I. I actually. I'll apologize for Jerry. I. Jerry's a very sweet guy. He does go too hard on Twitter. If you guys ever met, I think you'd get along. But he does that. He'll. He'll be the first to admit he had to put that. You know, they have a timer on Twitter where it's like a minute timer to make sure you want to tweet it. He had to put that on his Twitter because he had so many.
Nick Wright
Okay, you know what?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
And I didn't know the. The. The good. The. You know, the trials and tribulations. Let's. Let's have something good come of this. Hands washed of it.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
Okay, great.
Big Cat
Love that.
Nick Wright
And it's not excuses. Trust you guys. If you could say he's a good guy. Yeah, I trust it. We all kind of get angry on Twitter.
Big Cat
Yeah. He's got a good heart. And. And the. The. The crack stuff doesn't excuse tweeting mean things, people. I'm just saying, Jerry does do a lot of good things for people now and in recovery and all that stuff. This has been awesome, Nick. We should have you on more often. You're so much fun to talk to. So give us a final score for the Super Bowl. I showed you. I have a Future to win. $100,000 on the Eagles. You told me to cash out.
Nick Wright
Well, yeah, I said I never, ever, ever cash out bets. In fact, quick, very quick anecdote, and then I'll let you go and I'll try to give you final score. So Kevin Wilds, who is just the best person in the world to work with, he's not a gambler at all, but he bets like a dollar or two dollars. And his first game of the first day of the NFL season, he let his sons pick all of the Sunday slate straight winners a dollar and hit it. But he's also a big cash out guy. Like the moment it shows a 10% profit. Profit, he'll click cash out. So he and I have a deal now where I told him, anytime you want to cash out screenshot, text me, I'll auto pay it. But if it wins, I get it. Like, because I want to be the house. Because cashing out is never the right option.
Big Cat
Never.
Nick Wright
Unless of course, you have a hundred grand that is predicated on the Chiefs losing a football game, in which case you should definitely cash out.
Big Cat
Yeah, and I should. I told you, I bet the Chiefs last year in the super bowl. And it was one of the most fun experiences because I just sat there being like. Like the half the gambling cave had Brock Purdy, and I was just like, oh, I got. Yeah, like, I got my homes here. This is going to be.
PFT Commenter
Then I spent a year thinking about how Kyle Shanahan messed up the new overtime rules.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And. And that's the reason why I lost all my money.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
All right, so here's the thing. I. The producers of the TV show, because we're going to be down in New Orleans and we're trying to, you know, build stuff or whatever, asked me yesterday, they're like, hey, need a final score for the game because we're gonna, you know, build something for a reveal. I was like, well, I don't have that yet. And he's like, what do you mean? And I'm like, you think I'm just gonna. Willy nilly you come up. I gotta. I gotta deep dive. I Gotta review the all 22. I got it. Now, listen, I think I'm gonna pick the Chiefs. I'm not even sure yet. I gotta really review the information, but I'm leaning towards 3,000, 424.
Big Cat
Okay.
Nick Wright
Leaning.
Big Cat
Okay, that would be.
Nick Wright
But that's, you know, write that in pencil.
PFT Commenter
No, not in pen. You should do like Lee Corso does in college game day and put the mascot head on and it's the. The paintball mask and that the cap the chiefsaholic wore.
Big Cat
That would be fun.
PFT Commenter
Did you. Did you watch that documentary?
Nick Wright
Believe it or not, I have not.
PFT Commenter
You're featured.
Nick Wright
Not watch.
PFT Commenter
You're featured in.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
All right, so I'm featured in it.
PFT Commenter
Well, yeah, they take pretty much every podcast clip in America. That's been talking about the Chiefs.
Big Cat
I think.
PFT Commenter
I think we were on it for about a second when we told our old friend Billy to go try to track down Chiefs of Holly.
Big Cat
Yeah. So we were in it as well. All right, so everyone do watch first things first. Also do subscribe to what's right.
Nick Wright
I love you guys. Guys. And con. And in all seriousness, not only congrats. I one moment of genuineness. I appreciate the direction you guys have gradually pushed some others in sports media of everything that it is supposed to be fun and it doesn't always have to be so life or death. And so I think you guys are great and I appreciate you having me on and. And we'll come. I'll come on whenever. I'll talk to you guys.
Big Cat
Yeah, no, this has been a lot of fun and good luck to your Chiefs. I'm not gonna cash out. You know, I'm not gonna cash out. I can't cash out. No, you can't.
Nick Wright
No, you would it. And it wouldn't be fun watching the game. The only, the only real way to make the cash out. And this is the only thing I'll say for the cash out to be an option, you would have to cash out and snap. Put. Put the full amount.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
On the Chiefs.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick Wright
It has to be 100k winner one way or another. And so if you like that's. But you can't just cash out and take it and not have big action on the super bowl, obviously.
Big Cat
Right. And it's not like last time the Chiefs played the Eagles. I actually had a chance to win 200k and the Eagles were up 10 at halftime. And.
Nick Wright
Yeah.
Big Cat
So I'll be fine. It's gonna be fine.
Nick Wright
You'll be fine.
Big Cat
It's gonna be fine.
PFT Commenter
34, 24.
Big Cat
Congrats. Hey, congrats. By the way, we'll say it right now. We've done this every single year for I. I think six or seven years in a row. Congrats on the Kansas City Chiefs winning the AFC west in 2025. We're the first to report it. We are the first to report it. We've been reporting it around this time every single year. Congratulations on another AFC west title.
Nick Wright
This is their year. See you guys.

Big Cat
Okay, let's do fire fest of the week. By the way, we had some breaking news. We recorded some of the show in the morning. Breaking news. Justin Tucker might be in some.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. He was allegedly on his deshawn grind.
Big Cat
Yeah, the date.
PFT Commenter
The dates are interesting because it. It says that the. The experiences he was having at the Baltimore area massage parlors stopped in about what, 20? 19.
Big Cat
Oh, is that it? I wasn't able to read the whole thing.
PFT Commenter
That's like right when the deshawn stuff came out. Maybe he was like, the block's too hot. But it's six different masse's who are accusing him of being inappropriate, nutting on the table, exposing himself, etc. Etc. And his. His statement that he put out, which he denies everything.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
He says that it's a newspaper with an Ax to grind.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
And when he first learned of this article, he was trying to get more information. They only gave him, like, five minutes to respond before they published. So he's. He's denying everything, but there's no charges being pressed, either civil or criminal. So right now it's an article. Article. Okay, so we don't know.
Big Cat
Okay.
PFT Commenter
But if true, why would they accuse.
Memes
Him with no charges?
PFT Commenter
Because the. The newspaper can write an article and be like, we've talked to these women. Here's what they say happen. Even though there's no. There's nothing in court, they can still tell that story if they believe it's true.
Big Cat
Interesting.
PFT Commenter
Yeah. So I don't know. I don't know if true. Pervert.
Big Cat
Bad.
PFT Commenter
Bad for a kicker, even a person.
Big Cat
A kicker. The jizz puddle.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
Okay. Hank, your fire fest.
Memes
I don't really have.
Big Cat
I'm.
Hank
I'm. Good week.
Memes
Good week. Case race was. Was fun. Obviously, the anxiety of getting blackout drunk with your co workers and then waking up the next day and realizing that it was all taped and that you don't remember a lot of it is. Is not fun hangs, I would say. But other than that, pretty. Pretty good week.
Big Cat
Yeah, we had a. We had a pause thing on Wednesday morning. Very bad planning, but shout out pause Chicago. We dropped off the check for Stella Blue coffee. We did some volunteering. Hank was scheduled to do it in before the case race started. I told him. I was like, dude, you don't have to come. It's not a big deal. We have more than enough people. And when I got home from the case race hammer, Hank texted me at midnight. It was like, dude, I can't get my face makeup off. I'm gonna have to cancel for tomorrow.
PFT Commenter
There was a lot.
Big Cat
I was just like, I already said it's okay. He was just in his field.
PFT Commenter
It would have scared the dogs.
Big Cat
Yeah, it would have scared the dogs. But, yeah, watch the yak case race for. If you're a Max fan or Max hater, please don't watch. Watch the case race. Please don't watch noon Central Yak YouTube.
Max
I did exactly what I thought I was gonna do.
PFT Commenter
No, you didn't.
Nick Wright
And it's so bad.
PFT Commenter
Max is on work count.
Big Cat
Oh, man.
Max
I should have. I knew.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Birds bird up.
Big Cat
I think it was a. I think people will. Will, will enjoy the Max experience because I know that I had tears in my eyes multiple times.
Max
I'm officially retired from.
Memes
Yeah.
Max
Case races.
Big Cat
That's you.
Memes
That's what I said.
Big Cat
Unfortunately, that's not something you can retire from. When your number's called, you. You show up, and the next one is going to be in the summer Royal Rumble. And so, yeah, you'll be there.
PFT Commenter
If you want to see Max getting physical, tune into the case.
Big Cat
Yeah, listen, I. I've. I've said this before, but the. The case race is essentially childbirth. Just as painful, we do it, everyone regrets it, and they're like, that was miserable, Terrible hangover, don't want to watch myself drunk. And then six months go by, and you're like, oh, you know, be fun. A case race.
PFT Commenter
Yeah, I kind of. I was looking at my. My wall pictures and been thinking about what if we had another one on the wall?
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
And I don't want to. I don't want to get there, but I want to have it done.
Big Cat
Yeah. So we'll. We'll come. Come June. July Royal Rumble time. We'll all be ready to go. We'll all be ready to go. Okay. Pft.
PFT Commenter
So my fire fest was all my clothes got stolen.
Big Cat
Yeah.
PFT Commenter
Which I talked about on Wednesday's show. But in addition to that fire fest, I. I am basically out of clothes now. But I did have clothes arriving at my house that I'd ordered ahead of time. Time that happened to show up after my stuff was stolen. It also just so happens that it's all Washington commander stuff that I tried to buy before the NFC championship game, and they showed up the day after the NFC championship game. So now I'm just wearing a Mike Sandra still jersey today because it was the only clean shirt that I had. I've got a sweet new commander's jacket that I'm wearing, too.
Big Cat
So you're gonna. So you're gonna be at super bowl week at nola. You're gonna be, like the random Kansas or Duke fan when they're not in the final four. Four.
PFT Commenter
Yeah.
Big Cat
And. But they had already booked their tickets.
PFT Commenter
Well, for me, a Commander's Fan piquette doesn't get this, Hank. Like me and you do, but our season doesn't start until the championship game, and so I. Yeah, I kind of penciled myself into the Super Bowl.
Big Cat
Yeah. What are you gonna say?
Max
I. I have something else for you.
Big Cat
Oh.
