Gary Busey on Buseyisms, the Afterlife, and Buddy Holly

Monday Night Football was an absolute car crash for the Cleveland Browns, and Big Cat and PFT Commenter are here to sift through the wreckage. Between the offensive line looking like revolving doors and Freddie Kitchens appearing completely overwhelmed, the hype train has officially hit a wall. While the internet was busy obsessing over whether Baker Mayfield actually dapped up Richard Sherman, PFT Commenter had a different takeaway regarding Baker's reaction to the drama.

Baker Mayfield's silence on the Richard Sherman handshake controversy speaks volumes

[Baker Mayfield] has not addressed the handshake controversy brought to light by Richard Sherman. I would say his silence speaks volumes.

Richard Sherman eventually admitted that the handshake actually happened and he had exaggerated the snub, making Baker's silence irrelevant to a fake controversy.

Big Cat was more concerned with the visual of the coaching staff. He noted that Kitchens just doesn't look the part of a leader of men.

Freddie Kitchens has 'coordinator face' and 'coordinator bod' rather than looking like a head coach

[Freddie Kitchens] has got coordinator face. He's got coordinator bod. He does not look like, I don't know what, [a head coach]. Maybe he needs to go. We need to [make over] football coaches that have coordinator face into head football coaches.

Kitchens was fired after one season (6-10 record), supporting the idea that he wasn't cut out to be a head coach.

While the Browns are struggling, the 49ers are proving that they are the real deal. Kyle Shanahan was out there painting the Sistine Chapel while Freddie Kitchens was eating the finger paint.

The 49ers are a 'good, good football team'

I think we need to actually give more credit to the 49ers. Yes, because the 49ers are a good, good football team. The difference between Kyle Shanahan's offense and Freddie Kitchens was like they were playing two totally different games.

The 49ers finished 13-3 and reached Super Bowl LIV.

Gruden Gone and Postseason Woes

Jay Gruden was fired by the Redskins at 5:30 in the morning, which is a classic Dan Snyder move. PFT Commenter is already tracking the flight paths and expects a massive move from the front office involving a certain coach in Pittsburgh.

I am 75% confident that Dan Snyder is trying to trade for Mike Tomlin

Leroy reported earlier today that Dan Snyder's plane was in Pittsburgh at the private airport with photo evidence. I'm 75% confident in that scoop... He's trying to trade for Mike Tomlin.

Mike Tomlin remained the head coach of the Steelers and was never traded to the Redskins.

In the world of baseball, the Twins are continuing their tradition of postseason heartbreak. After 15 straight losses, Big Cat is ready to crown them with a depressing title.

Minnesota is low-key the saddest sports city in America

[The Twins] have lost, was it 15 straight postseason games? ... All of Minnesota, they're borderline the most cursed sports city of all time. I've said that. They are low-key the saddest sports city when people always go to Cleveland or Buffalo.

Subjective debate, but the Twins' postseason losing streak eventually reached 18 games before being snapped in 2023.

Meanwhile, the Nationals are finally finding life in October, and the guys are starting to think that moving on from Bryce Harper might have been the best thing to happen to D.C. baseball.

The Nationals are a better team without Bryce Harper

Listen, the Nats are a better team without Bryce Harper. That's a fact. It is a fact.

The Nationals won the 2019 World Series the very same month Harper left for the Phillies.

The Legend Gary Busey

Gary Busey joined the show for what can only be described as a spiritual experience. He arrived in studio to discuss his new play, *Only Human*, where he plays God, but the conversation quickly veered into the nature of reality, his near-death experience, and the philosophy of acting. Gary explained that he doesn't actually "act" in the traditional sense.

The best actors are actually not acting at all

Acting is the absence of acting. It's believing in the truth of the moment you're creating at that time with your heart without thinking.

This is Busey's subjective philosophy on acting.

He opened up about his 1988 motorcycle accident, detailing how he was dead for two hours and what he witnessed on the other side. It wasn't just a medical event for him; it was a total recalibration of his soul.

I went to the spiritual zone and was surrounded by angels after my motorcycle accident

I know what [heaven] feels like because I have been in the spiritual zone and the supernatural surrounded by angels... I was dead for two hours, correct? ... It was a beautiful experience of understanding something that I wouldn't have understood without having the accident.

Near-death experiences and spiritual visions are subjective and cannot be verified as fact.

Gary also walked Big Cat and PFT Commenter through his famous "Busey-isms," which are essentially acronyms that reveal the hidden meaning behind everyday words. He even dropped a heavy piece of philosophy regarding the concept of life itself.

The word L-I-F-E stands for 'Living In Forever Eternity'

Life, L-I-F-E, stands for living in forever eternity. It's not ever over.

This is a creative acronym/mantra, not a verifiable fact.

Hot Seat, Cool Throne and Guys on Chicks

Hot Seat/Cool Throne covered everything from the WWE's booking failures to Zion Williamson's height. PFT Commenter is concerned that the No. 1 pick's verticality might be compromised now that the official measurements are in.

Zion Williamson won't be an explosive dunker anymore because he measured at 6'6"

Zion's on the hot seat because I don't think he's going to be able to be an explosive dunker anymore now that he measured in at 6'6".

Zion Williamson remained one of the most explosive dunkers in NBA history despite being 6'6".

The guys also touched on the NBA's ongoing PR disaster regarding China. While Steve Kerr and others are playing it safe, Big Cat wants a little more honesty from the league about why they are staying quiet.

NBA players and coaches should admit they only care about China's money

I would prefer if they just said: our money is paid in large part by China and all these people buying league pass. And it's a big fucking country. And we're trying to sell a shitload of Kobe jerseys. So therefore, we are going to remove ourselves from this discussion.

The NBA's financial ties to China were a major factor in their reaction to the Morey tweet, as confirmed by later reporting.

Uncle Chaps joined for a legendary edition of Guys on Chicks, helping a listener deal with a boyfriend who has a Carson Wentz background and another who might have accidentally confessed to a major medical secret while drunk. Chaps also gave his definitive take on the Jacksonville Jaguars' quarterback situation, and he's ready to ship Nick Foles out of town for whatever he can get.

The Jaguars should trade Nick Foles for a 6th round pick and go all in on Gardner Minshew

Trade Nick Foles? Absolutely. Dude, I would trade him for a six-round conditional pick. ... [Gardner Minshew] is amazing. Why would I not be [all in]?

The Jaguars did eventually trade Foles to the Bears in March 2020 for a 4th round pick, confirming Chaps' desire to move on, though Minshew eventually lost the starting job in 2021.

Life is just a dress rehearsal, so try not to miss your cues.

The Redskins (now Commanders) went 7-9 in 2020 and lost in the Wild Card round; they did not reach the Super Bowl.

Over under week nine, [Rob Gronkowski] makes a 69 joke on set. [I'll take the] under.

Deja vu is when your mind picks up something before your brain does

A deja vu is when your mind picks up something before your brain does. Then when your brain picks it up, it's like, I've been here before. This has happened before.

Psychological/neurological theories on deja vu differ, but Busey's explanation is a subjective spiritual interpretation.
