Bill Burr on King of Staten Island and Arian Foster on Real Issues
We’ve officially hit June, which means we’ve survived another month of the calendar slog. The world is changing fast, Tiger King already feels like it happened a decade ago, and Big Cat is pretty sure the window for Joe Exotic costumes is slammed shut.
Big CatThe window for Tiger King Halloween costumes has officially closed
I think the idea that Tiger King Halloween costumes were going to be all the rage, that ship has sailed. Tiger King feels like it was 10 years ago.
PFT and Big Cat opened the show catching up on the absolute mind fakes of modern science, specifically the viral videos that tell you everything you love is killing you until next week when it suddenly makes you immortal. PFT is still recovering from the news that resting your hands on your head isn't actually better than your knees, though he remains a purist when it comes to body language on the field.
PFT CommenterResting your hands on your knees while tired is a sign of weakness that I will exploit
I still believe if you have your hands on your knees, it's a sign of weakness and I will exploit you. [Resting your hands on your head] was such a mind fuck when that came out, when they said that it doesn't make a difference if you're tired.
Space, Anonymous, and Hawaiian Shirts
Who’s Back featured a heavy dose of the future and the past. Hank is officially the biggest hater of the SpaceX launch, mostly because he’s unimpressed by anything we’ve already done a few times.
HankGoing to space isn't impressive because we've already done it a lot
I think it's cool that we've done it 100,000 times already... We went to the moon in the 60s. Technology has advanced a long way. We're not going to learn anything new from Elon Musk going to the moon. It's just for him to pat himself on the back.
While Hank was busy being bored by rockets, PFT welcomed back Anonymous the hacker group. There was also a necessary stand taken regarding summer fashion. With certain groups trying to co-opt specific floral patterns, PFT made it clear that the party crowd isn't giving up their wardrobe without a fight.
PFT CommenterI am reclaiming Hawaiian shirts for people who like to party
Apparently, this has become like a race war white supremacist thing to wear Hawaiian shirts... Fuck you. You will not take... I'm reclaiming Hawaiian shirts for people that like to party.
Bill Burr: Firefighters and Degenerates
Our friend Bill Burr joined the show to discuss his role in *The King of Staten Island*. It’s a part that didn't require much acting since he plays a disgruntled, loudmouthed firefighter, but the guys genuinely loved the film. Bill gave a massive shout-out to the fans who actually put their money where their mouth is, arguing that the guy down thousands to his bookie who still won't bet against his team is the only true fan left.
Bill BurrDegenerate gamblers who never bet against their home team are the biggest fans in sports
I think degenerate gamblers who still bet on their home team love the team so much more than when they do those fluff pieces on the local news... The biggest fan is the degenerate gambler. He's down decades to the bookie. Still cannot bet against his home team. Still can't lay off his home team.
They also got into a deep dive on NFL history. Bill has been spending his quarantine watching old film from the 1950s and realized the league’s history is much deeper than the Super Bowl era suggests. He’s also already plotting the perfect Tom Brady redemption arc in Tampa Bay.
Bill BurrI want Tom Brady to take the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl, play Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and win his seventh ring
I want to see Tom Brady take the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Super Bowl and play Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. And then he wins seven. He's got one more than Jordan. I think that would be unbelievable.
A Serious Conversation with Arian Foster
Following the events of the past week in America, Arian Foster joined the show for a raw, honest conversation about race, police brutality, and the NFL's response to social unrest. Arian didn't hold back on the league's sudden shift in tone, calling their recent statements reactionary and calculated for safety.
Arian FosterThe NFL's statement on George Floyd is reactionary and only being made because it's now 'safe'
The NFL has a track record of being reactionary rather than proactive. And this is exactly what they're doing right now... They're saying it because it's safe to do so now. It's very safe because you have the people on your side.
It was an eye-opening segment where Arian explained the difference between feeling guilty and having empathy. He walked Big Cat and PFT through the "talk" Black parents have to give their kids about interacting with police, a reality that stands in stark contrast to the white experience in America.
Arian FosterWhite privilege is not something to feel guilty about, but something that requires empathy
I shouldn't have to feel guilty about being white. I agree. You're conflating guilt with empathy. That's all it is. Saying, I see black people struggling... is not the same as saying it's wrong for me to be white in this country.
Big Cat and Arian also touched on the breakdown of the social contract. When the people hired to protect the public are the ones causing the harm, the usual rules of society tend to go out the window.
Big CatThe social contract is broken when a government official murders a citizen in broad daylight
When a police officer murders someone in broad daylight, the rules to society have been broken. So you can't then be like, 'let's put the rules back on by saying no destruction of property.' Like the social contract is gone.
Billy’s Bonobo Deep Dive
To wrap things up, Billy Football brought the energy back up with a presentation on the horniest apes in the animal kingdom: the Bonobos. Apparently, these creatures have figured out what humans haven't: solving every single conflict through massive orgies and drug-induced chilling.
Billy FootballBonobos are the goats of apes because they have sex to solve all their problems
Bonobos are the goats of apes... These guys have governments made up on sex... Instead of like a group of bonobos meeting another group of bonobos, they don't fight, they just make love. They share 98.7% of our DNA.
Billy is convinced they are the most evolved species on the planet because they have a designated drug dealer in the troop and spend their days "sword fighting" in the trees. We’re sending Billy to guest host Kentucky Sports Radio on Wednesday, so pray for the Bluegrass State.
If the Bonobos can run a government based on vibes and missionary position, there's hope for the rest of us.
