Julian Edelman on Super Bowls, Gronk's Genius, and His New Book
College basketball is officially back, which means the return of the true never-graduates like Grayson Allen. Big Cat and PFT are already gearing up for a season of pure hate watching after Grayson dropped 37 against Michigan State. While the hoops are exciting, it brings back the annual tradition of the guys losing their minds over how the final two minutes of a game can take forty-five minutes due to the charity stripe.
Big CatCollege basketball point spreads are constantly ruined by excessive fouling at the end of games
In college basketball, they will foul until the end of time, and every single point spread will be ruined. A team could be down four points with 30 seconds left... they will foul until the end of time, and every single point spread will be ruined.
Beyond the hardwood, the guys looked at the new College Football Playoff rankings. Wisconsin is sitting there undefeated, but PFT is already smelling a trap during blind resume season. It feels like the Badgers are destined to be the team everyone likes until they actually have to look at who they’ve played.
Stay Woke on Apple and Hot Seat/Cool Throne
In a legendary Hot Seat segment, Big Cat unleashed a theory that resonated with every person holding a cracked iPhone 6. He is fully convinced that Tim Cook has a big red button in Cupertino that he presses the second a new model drops just to turn our old phones into bricks.
Big CatApple intentionally ruins old iPhones via software updates to force users to upgrade
Apple, every single time they release a new iPhone, they do something with the software and they make all of our old iPhones suck. It's fucked up. They just screw up the IOS and they make it drain your battery allegedly... theoretically I'm very woke to this.
On the Cool Throne, USA Soccer finds itself in good company after Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup. It’s the ultimate "you can't fire me, I quit" move for American soccer fans. If a global powerhouse like Italy can miss out, surely it just means the test was too hard for everyone.
Big CatUSA Soccer is off the hook for missing the World Cup because Italy missed it too
USA Soccer is officially on the cool throne because Italy did not make the World Cup either. And that's like a big deal... we're off the hook, though. Because this is like the hottest chick who didn't make the ball... we can laugh and be like, no, those guys actually try, and they suck. It's not us.
Julian Edelman: Relentless and Recovering
Julian Edelman joined the show from his home in Boston to discuss his book, *Relentless*. Big Cat immediately questioned if anyone is actually supposed to read it, but Edelman promised it's "full bro'd out" with plenty of pictures and double spacing for the non-readers. The conversation shifted to his recovery from a torn ACL and the grueling reality of IR life, which Julian described as a constant battle of gaining biomechanics back.
Julian EdelmanMy ass is the power source for everything on the football field
Everything comes from your glute, you know, your ass, your ass is your power source for everything. You gotta be a big butt guy. And so, you know, when you get that glute firing and you get everything where you're working it through that, it puts less stress on things.
Julian gave us a peak behind the curtain of the Patriots' dynasty, including a story about a late-night encounter with Bill Belichick on a treadmill at 11:00 PM. When Julian asked if he was always like that, Bill simply replied, "It beats being a plumber." We also got the truth about Rob Gronkowski, who Julian insists is far more calculated than the public gives him credit for.
Julian EdelmanRob Gronkowski is a genius who is very calculated about his public persona
Gronk's really good with numbers, and I'm not lying... He can remember, like, plays and, like, or, like, where guys are drafted, this, that... Gronk's real calculated with with with his whole persona man. He knows that he's just the Gronk and like he can play it out and he knows when to play it out and all that stuff.
Before letting him go, Julian played a game of "hottest Patriot" following the Jimmy Garoppolo trade. While Jimmy G remains the undisputed heartthrob of the Bay Area now, Julian had to rank the remaining locker room residents.
Julian EdelmanJimmy Garoppolo is a heartthrob, Tom Brady is handsome, and Danny Amendola is hot
Jimmy G's like heartthrob. I'd say Tom [Brady]'s like handsome. [Danny] Amendola's like hot.
LeBron, Pizza Wars, and Guys on Chicks
LeBron James' recent subway excursion in New York City drew some heavy fire from the guys. They debated which *Sex and the City* character LeBron actually is, eventually landing on a mix of Phoebe and Rachel because of his constant need for attention. Then the guys took a stand against Papa John, officially declaring Pizza Hut the superior chain, mostly due to the legendary status of the red-roof buffet.
To wrap up the show, Guys on Chicks featured a listener asking about a guy who insists on listening to Coldplay in a dark shower. Big Cat defended the move but drew a very hard line at the specific era of the band.
Big CatOld Coldplay is great, but new Coldplay sucks
Old Coldplay, not new Coldplay. New Coldplay sucks. Old Coldplay fucking [is great].
The show ended with a brief lesson on "fart culture" and why some things are meant to stay between the fellas.
If you see a squirrel flying high this week, just know Julian Edelman probably wrote a book about it.
