Big Cat's Baby, Jimmy Tatro on YouTube, and Bar Mount Rushmore
Fatherhood has officially arrived at Pardon My Take. Big Cat returned to the studio on very little sleep to recount the wild experience of the last 48 hours, describing the delivery room as his own personal Apollo theater until the reality of the moment turned him into a silent, crying mess. He spent most of the recovery time treating the hospital room like a personal sports book, which PFT found to be the most responsible way to handle the situation.
PFT CommenterIt is responsible to continue betting after your child is born because the baby might be good luck
It's actually responsible of you from a fiscal standpoint to continue betting, if not more so than you were before, because the baby might be good luck.
PFT welcomed the new addition to the family by immediately roasting him, targeting everything from the baby’s birth weight (a very nice 6 lbs, 9 oz) to Big Cat’s questionable swaddling skills. While the "Dad Strength" hasn't been scientifically tested in a gym yet, Big Cat is already feeling the physical evolution.
Big CatI'm throwing it out there that I have 350-pound dad strength now
I want to do like a full study on whether dad strength is a real thing. 350 probably. I'm going to throw that out there. 350. I'd say dad strength is a thing. Yep.
The NBA Draft provided plenty of fodder, specifically the near-universal adoration for Zion Williamson. Big Cat questioned if we've ever seen an athlete this beloved coming out of Duke, though PFT is already counting down the days until a certain FS1 host turns on the Pelicans' new star.
PFT CommenterSkip Bayless will be the first person to publicly hate on Zion Williamson
I think it's going to be Skip that starts the train with it. He's going to test the waters early in the season and be like, I think Zion's going to have trouble staying under 300 pounds.
While the Lakers are busy trying to figure out how many players they can fit on a roster without knowing how the salary cap works, PFT has a theory that LeBron James has found a clever workaround through his Hollywood ventures.
PFT CommenterSpace Jam 2 is a front to pay players off the books and avoid the NBA salary cap
Space Jam 2 is just an excuse to pay players off the book and avoid the salary cap. Palenka, he doesn't have to know anything about the salary cap. All he has to know is LeBron James' cell phone number and be like, hey, is the money good? Right. Okay, awesome. He's got a spreadsheet. Can you shave $10 million off Lola Bunny's contract and funnel it to Anthony Davis?
Jimmy Tatro joined the show to discuss his journey from a YouTuber to a legitimate movie star in the new film *Stuber*. The conversation hit on the nuances of Southern California teenage culture, the absolute genius of *Entourage*, and the technical reasons why a 90-minute runtime is the holy grail of comedy. Jimmy also discussed the evolution of his content and why he doesn't miss the low-res days of early YouTube.
Jimmy Tatro90 minutes is the perfect length for a comedy movie
And it's only like, it's like 90 minutes, which is, I think a perfect comedy movie time. Because whenever they try to do like... a hundred minutes, you know, there's going to be 15 minutes where they're like, this just stretches on. Seeing under 100 minutes, I'm instantly more likely to click it.
Jon Taffer returned to help the guys build a Mount Rushmore of Bar Attractions. Taffer dropped some serious bar science, explaining why sports bars aren't the gold mine everyone thinks they are and revealing the predatory nature of energy drink contracts. He also provided some very specific demographic data regarding the seating preferences of women in bars.
Jon TafferWomen over 34 need backs on barstools, while younger women prefer stools without them
When you have women over 34, you put her back on a barstool... Under 34, you don't. And the reason why is over 34, women get very sensitive about their asses... Under 34, I want you to spin around for interactivity.
The list included everything from shuffleboard and popcorn machines to Taffer’s own "butt funnels." He even explained the strategic placement of arcade games to maximize revenue when the pool tables or dartboards are occupied.
Jon TafferThe incidence of play on pinball machines is much higher when they are placed near dartboards
If you're going to have dartboards, you've got to have at least one pinball machine, and here's why. When people are waiting to play darts, they'll play pinball. And the incidence of play on pinball games is much higher when there's dartboards nearby for that reason.
To wrap up the week, Jilly Football stopped by for License to Jill to discuss the hive of "Jilly Beans" forming on Twitter and her utter disappointment in anyone who would consider eating a ladybug.
Jilly FootballLadybugs are good luck and you should never eat them
Are you sure [the bug eater is] not one of you? ... He started eating ladybugs. Well, no, you don't eat ladybugs. Ladybugs are luck. They're good luck.
It’s a long way to Tipperary, but a very short way to Big Cat changing his second-ever diaper.
