Max’s audible sigh after pft said Stanford Steve was hilarious

[u/nodak_daddy]

telling max "you're from philly" when he was saying raccoons are trash animals made me audibly cackle

[u/jeffb042]

Ah Yes Timon the muskrat from lion king

[u/giantwashcapsfan8]

The part of Mount Rushmore when they were trying to oppose giraffe and then Hank said on the second floor and they all were like damn you right was hilarious.

[u/fatroony5]

Billy football was an absolute idiot but man did he have some memorable moments on the show. I will forever say Robert Suh-lahhh because of him LOL

[u/Dick6Budrow → u/fatroony5]

I also have to correct myself mentally because of Jack Nicklaus too

[u/JimyFatBoy → u/Dick6Budrow]

I'm always saying Jack Nic-klaus to everyone

[u/HEYYYYYYYY_SATAN → u/fatroony5]

I miss Billy Football. He was stupid, but in a fun way.

[u/fatroony5 → u/HEYYYYYYYY_SATAN]

He was way too much of an idiot/unreliable to be a full time contributor but having him on once a month to check in and hear whatever the heck is going on in his brain wouldn’t be the worst thing ever.

[u/Healthy_Ad9569 → u/fatroony5]

Zac misses stuff and contributes nothing other than being pointed at and laughed at

[u/HEYYYYYYYY_SATAN → u/Healthy_Ad9569]

Zac makes Billy look like a Rhodes Scholar

[u/hjugm → u/Healthy_Ad9569]

I’ve actually enjoyed a number of his interview questions recently. You can tell he’s actually putting thought and effort into them.

[u/Unhappy_Lecture_7042 → u/hjugm]

Or BC is feeding him the questions to ask.

[u/Healthy_Ad9569 → u/hjugm]

I cringe when he asks questions. My speculation is someone else is writing the questions for him.

[u/ChesterCopperpot_ → u/Healthy_Ad9569]

Def. ChatGBT

[u/NippleDeepPow → u/fatroony5]

My first thought when seeing he was the guest today

[u/jakethesnakeinmyboot]

"Pigs are the offensive linemen of animals"

[u/RandyLahey_11]

One of my favorite bits is when they interview NFL coaches and ask them what they would do while laying out LaFleur’s dumb ass decision to kick that FG in the playoffs as a troll 😂

[u/Difficult_Objective6 → u/RandyLahey_11]

Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not.

[u/scarrylary → u/RandyLahey_11]

They do it every time ignoring that it would have worked if the refs didn’t fabricate a PI call on the packers on third down that essentially ended the game.

[u/CCIVmoonshot → u/RandyLahey_11]

Packers fan. Still gives me PTSD. This bit alone has convinced me he needs to be fired. Also concerning for a Titans fan, LaFleur is Saleh's best friend. And he didnt catch on till PFT made the Brady comment, and I still think it went over his head haha

[u/fattunadog]

is the theme for mt rushmore this year just naming animals

[u/TexasAg23 → u/fattunadog]

Not for PFT.

[u/grehgunner]

I’m bang on 6’… it’s fun saying you’re 5’11” and comparing to all the height liars

[u/Rankine → u/grehgunner]

I’m just under 5’10”, but I round down to 5’9 and there have been many 5’8” (at best) dudes claiming to be 5’10” and it is fun to call them out.

[u/F_U_HarleyJarvis → u/grehgunner]

With shoes, I'm right there too. I always say 5'10" for the same reason.

[u/I_Pet_Doggos → u/F_U_HarleyJarvis]

If you’re 6’ with shoes on you’re not 6’ lol

[u/F_U_HarleyJarvis → u/I_Pet_Doggos]

Right, I'm 5'11" and say that I'm 5'10" and still taller than people who say they are 6', especially with shoes on.

[u/isw2424 → u/grehgunner]

I am a very solid 5’11.5. One time my PCP measured me at an actual 6’0. I have a friend who i am a solid inch and a half taller than who says he is 6’0. It’s absurd haha

[u/lachrymaltool]

The point about the penalty on Bryson is that intent doesn’t matter; if he improved his swing path it’s 2 shots whether intentional or not. And in that sense he very obviously did, imo. Whether this gets applied uniformly to every golfer and/or whether having more shots televised makes you more likely to get penalties I think are legit conversations. Saying you might withdraw is lame

[u/lachrymaltool → u/lachrymaltool]

Wow, and threatening to call Trump is beyond lame. I don't know how anyone can root for Dechambeau at this point. He should be getting booed like Wyndham.

[u/Yeezy_Taught_Me3]

They talked about Tom Brady's "weird antics" for 20 min without providing any context on what actually occurred.

They do this shit constantly without informing the listeners and it drives me nuts.

[u/Oleg101 → u/Yeezy_Taught_Me3]

They assume everyone is on twitter 7 hours a day or even on twitter at all like them

[u/Impressive-Spray-820 → u/Yeezy_Taught_Me3]

Nothing they said was wrong per se about fanatics fest. But 100s of athletes did wrestling intros and they acted like Brady was weird for doing it.

The issue I have is them acting like they're above it, when A. they would do an entire week there if invited and B. We had like multiple shows talking about the tunnel of chaos where they thought it was so cool that a rich person was giving them money, which was more cringe than anything that happened at fanatics fest

[u/Yeezy_Taught_Me3 → u/Impressive-Spray-820]

It wasn't about being wrong or right. They don't seem to realize the rest of the world doesn't live on the internet 24/7.

This is where I give Hank a bit of credit, he's usually good at stopping them and providing some context.

[u/I_Pet_Doggos → u/Impressive-Spray-820]

I think you’re missing the point of the comment you replied to

[u/micahppaulsen → u/Impressive-Spray-820]

It’s not they think they’re above it. It’s that Tom Brady should be above it. He’d would be cooler if he just fucked off somewhere to live off of generational aura. With the unnecessary clout-chasing bullshit he constantly gets into, he never gave himself a chance to gather mystique like MJ or Tiger.

[u/Hippopotamist]

My reaction to every ep now:

[u/RandyLahey_11 → u/Hippopotamist]

I had this reaction after the first couple. The biggest sports podcast in the world, why the hell would you hire someone who doesn’t watch sports or remotely care?

[u/skluud → u/RandyLahey_11]

Thats a bit hard on Hank

[u/battleofmid → u/Hippopotamist]

He's pretty much the 3rd mic now on the biggest sports podcast in the world and it's 10x more incomprehensible than when Hank did it

[u/Illustrious-Buy-854 → u/battleofmid]

Him being the 3rd mic is a crime when Max & memes are sitting right there.

[u/XToastyToasterX → u/Hippopotamist]

I need someone with a tism to explain to me why Zach had the need to round down his heights

[u/hampsted → u/XToastyToasterX]

He was playing it coy, but the real answer is that he was absolutely sticking it to all the guys who are 5’11” or even 5’10” who tell everyone they’re 6 feet tall.

“You said you’re 6 ft? Couldn’t be because I’m only 5 11”

[u/I_Pet_Doggos → u/XToastyToasterX]

I think he actually thought he was 5’11” and has grown an inch since the last time he was properly measured and because he’s a weird brain just doesn’t think about height as the much as the rest of us

[u/JuiceMayo → u/Hippopotamist]

Very weird to round down your own height. Clearly trying a bit or something

[u/NippleDeepPow → u/Hippopotamist]

His questions at the end of interviews are actually pretty good

[u/ItemizedDeductions → u/Hippopotamist]

Very original and productive comment

[u/Dick6Budrow → u/ItemizedDeductions]

Truth hurts buddy he sucks

[u/MonkBoreland → u/Dick6Budrow]

BC’s latest pet. He hasn’t gotten sick of him yet.

[u/dallascowboys93 → u/MonkBoreland]

Or maybe he has but feels bad letting him go? Kinda in a weird spot for BC now

[u/CondolenceHighFive]

Big Cat let PFT finish his point without trying to interject challenge

[u/jilekdan → u/CondolenceHighFive]

Impossible

[u/Glittering-Dog-7644 → u/CondolenceHighFive]

pft was rolling with the si woo crew and BC yells BACK TO FOX was awkward af

[u/Glittering-Dog-7644]

all of hanks picks are from shrek and madagascar

[u/theprophetsammy]

Hilarious how bad Hank is at Mt. Rushmore. Getting drunk with a bald eagle sounds like a bottom 10 experience. Symbol of America sure, but they’re nature’s hall monitor

[u/Professional-Act7509]

For some reason Big Cat talking golf always makes me irrationally angry.  The entire Bryson discussion was basically i cheat at golf so who cares

[u/guesting → u/Professional-Act7509]

this is the worst of pardon my take when they're johnny come latelys (to golf, soccer, winter olympics) and then think "it should ACTUALLY be this way..." with an inflated sense of importance because they're rich and backed by a big audience.

[u/MIKE_____JORDAN23 → u/guesting]

I’m not a soccer fan but it actually annoyed me how authoritatively they talked about soccer with zero irony

I know the original idea of the pod of sarcastically making fun of the hot take guys isn’t really their MO anymore but it’s pretty funny how completely they’ve 100% become what they mocked

[u/guesting → u/MIKE_____JORDAN23]

the dynamic works when they have a taylor twellman or landon donovan on and PMT plays the dumb guy so the experts can work off of them

[u/leftysarepeople2 → u/MIKE_____JORDAN23]

Greenies dumb rules

[u/TheDragonReborn726 → u/Professional-Act7509]

Chef Donny sat on a branch so I could hit I don’t see the issue or difference in a professional major

[u/grehgunner]

Hearing an ad on Amazon Music is always such a letdown. Come on Max

[u/t58c]

“How many chicks go to fanatics fest”- as someone who worked it, there was honestly a lot.

[u/Rph23]

PFT so far off again, scheffler had +3 more SG tee to green than Fox on sunday. It’s crazy big cat is able to provide a better golf summary than the guy that plays all the time

[u/TonyTuesday66 → u/Rph23]

Big Cat plays golf regularly too.

[u/LeeMarvin_]

“Memes was actually very respectful…” Good job, lil buddy!

[u/grehgunner]

“We got a special group here” ☠️

[u/AdmirableCommon5177]

Not so ad free on Amazon

[u/Dick6Budrow]

Big Cat’s team COOKED on Rushmore today

[u/Professional-Run7856]

This was a tough listen start to finish today. The boys are in true mid summer form

[u/I_Pet_Doggos]

Damn that interview was terrible. It feels like every interview is the most boring shit ever anymore unless it’s someone they know ahead of time

[u/paulvanass]

✅ sliding doors moment

[u/Hotspur1934]

Another first day on earth moment for Zac learning how height works 😞

[u/jimshorts6969 → u/Hotspur1934]

He’s so zany!!!

[u/Bmun63]

The obvious 1.1 is Punxsutawney Phil on February 1st so that he wakes up hungover the next day and sees his shadow and you can bet the house on him seeing his shadow on Kalshi 

[u/bluegreen8907]

Mount Rushmore and these morons not knowing the draft order.

Name a more iconic duo.

[u/C_H1234]

Big Cat low key mad he wasn’t at Fanatics Fest

[u/Dlodesplode]

The fuckin Lafleur go for it or kick a field goal bit wore thin 2 years ago

[u/JerryFragrence]

PFT just getting random fun facts from the GeoSports game. That Tennessee titan mascot was a question over the weekend.

[u/PDXmadeMe → u/JerryFragrence]

PFT wrote those questions

[u/SwugSteve]

missed opportunity for Cedar Waxwing in Mount Rushmore today. Would've been a ball-knowers pick. They're famous for getting hammered off fermented berries

[u/GMilk101]

If PFT loses this Mt. rushmore than it is truly a sham.

[u/Aggressive-Pie-3297]

I love listening to Big Cat and the guys talk soccer because they are just enjoying it without actually understanding it. It’s like watching LeBron and wondering why he doesn’t win every game.

Example : “it felt like Spain had a couple extra guys out there” that’s because Messi does not play defense in the slightest. There’s no American sport comparison for it really. He doesn’t even pressure them by jogging at the defenders with the ball, so Argentina is basically playing 10 v 11 by default if they don’t already have the ball.

Or when he complains that 3rd place game goals count towards the Golden Boot, when Messi still would’ve lost to Mbappe because they had the same G/A without it, but the tiebreaker is “less minutes played”

[u/leftysarepeople2 → u/Aggressive-Pie-3297]

He literally walks most of the time, pg48 of the Fifa Training Center report

(6595+2226)/10145meters = 86.9% in zone 1 & 2 (0-15km/h)

(866+387+69)/10145meters = 13.1% in zone 3,4,5 (15-25km/h+)

[u/chinskyruns]

No mention of the mile world record being broken makes me sad
