Action Bronson on Hash Making and Bob Kraft Busted in Florida
Big Cat and PFT Commenter had plenty to dig into this Monday following a weekend that saw one of the most powerful owners in sports caught in a Florida strip mall sting. Robert Kraft being named in a human trafficking investigation at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa sent the internet into a tailspin, especially considering the billionaire has his own private plane and presumably better options for a massage.
Big CatIf you take a private plane to a strip mall in suburban Florida, you aren't doing it for a good reason
If you take a private plane to a strip mall in suburban Florida, you're not doing it for a good reason. That's my big takeaway. Definitely a place that, let's just say, didn't look like the day spa of a billionaire.
While the human trafficking element is undeniably dark, the guys couldn't help but look at the football implications. PFT had a specific idea for how Roger Goodell should handle the discipline, suggesting that taking away draft picks doesn't quite fit the nature of the crime.
PFT CommenterRobert Kraft's punishment for the solicitation sting should be jerking off every other NFL owner
As much as I would like to see the Patriots get their entire draft this year and next taken away from them for the actions of the owner, I feel like the punishment should fit the crime, and [Robert Kraft] should have to jerk off every other NFL owner.
There was also some healthy skepticism regarding the reporting around the sting. Adam Schefter was quick to report that a "bigger name" than Kraft was involved, which smelled like a classic distraction tactic to Big Cat.
Big CatAdam Schefter is helping Robert Kraft by reporting there is a 'bigger name' in the prostitution sting
Adam Schefter says there's a bigger name involved, and somehow we don't have the bigger name, which leads me to believe that Adam Schefter is doing Robert Kraft a favor by basically sending everyone on a wild goose chase to figure out if Tiger Woods got jerked off.
The Oscars and the Future of Hosting
The Academy Awards also went down this weekend, and the consensus was clear: the show is significantly better without a host. Between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga nearly risking it all on stage and the lack of cringey pizza delivery bits, the guys are ready to retire the concept of a host forever.
Big CatThe Oscars are better without a host
No host is the future. Way better. No stupid gimmicks, you know, when they deliver pizzas or do the selfies or whatever the fuck happens when you run out of bits two hours into the Oscars.
Action Bronson in Studio
Rapper, chef, and New York Times best-selling author Action Bronson joined the show to discuss his new book, *Stoned Beyond Belief*, and his life as a professional tastemaker. The conversation naturally veered into his expertise in making hash, where he uses a Revlon hair straightener to press out high-end product. He doesn't just do it for fun; he considers himself elite in the field.
Action BronsonI am one of the top five hash makers/pressers in the world
I'm one of them. [Top five hash squishers]. For sure. There's no doubt about it. It's like the Kobe beef of making hash. I press the hash. I do the Revlon. But that's also a talent and an art in itself.
Bronson, a massive New York sports fan, also opened up about the pain of being a Knicks fan. Despite the constant rumors that every superstar in the league is eventually coming to Madison Square Garden, the reality is usually much bleaker.
Action BronsonBig-name NBA free agents never actually come to the Knicks despite the endless rumors
Every time that they say these people [Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving] are coming, they just never come to New York for some reason. I don't know what about New York isn't a destination for motherfuckers. It's a terrible situation honestly... it's been for years and as a fan it fucking sucks.
The interview got surprisingly philosophical as well. When discussing the experience of being high, Bronson offered a perspective that had PFT and Big Cat re-evaluating their own experiences.
Action BronsonYou choose your own destination once you are high
It's mind-altering. You choose your path once you're high. That is fucking deep. You choose your own path when you're high. You choose the destination when you're high. Make sure you fucking write that down.
Who's Back and LeBron Blames
In Who's Back, PFT declared that the Minnesota Timberwolves are officially dead after Ja Rule placed a Fyre Fest-style curse on the franchise following a halftime performance gone wrong.
PFT CommenterThe Minnesota Timberwolves will never win an NBA title due to the Ja Rule curse
The Minnesota Timberwolves will never win an NBA title. It has been declared. You just jinxed yourself talking to the God [Ja Rule] this way. You're cursed now. You won't win a championship for the next 30 years and [Karl-Anthony Towns] is leaving.
Meanwhile, Big Cat took aim at NASCAR's Joey Logano, who apparently can't handle a little nickname-based ribbing on social media.
Big CatJoey Logano is a 'baby back bitch' for blocking me on Twitter after I called him 'Slowy Slogano'
My other who's back is that baby back bitch, Slowy Slogano, who blocked me on Twitter for calling him Slowy Slogano. How soft is that? He basically tweeted and said, 'I had a great car, but sometimes it doesn't break your way,' which is a classic... So I filled it in for him, and then he blocked me.
Finally, the guys checked in on LeBron James and the struggling Lakers. With the playoffs looking like a coin flip at best, Big Cat is already predicting how LeBron will exit the stage if things continue to go south.
Big CatLeBron James will fake a season-ending injury if the Lakers miss the playoffs
As soon as it becomes like this is a realistic thing [missing the playoffs], [LeBron James] will definitely be like, oh, my hamstring hurts because too much sheesh. All the sheesh has added weight to my groin.
If the Lakers miss the playoffs, at least LeBron will have more time to work on Space Jam 2 and his next episode of *The Shop*.
