Nathaniel Hackett on the Broncos, Star Wars, and a Blake Bortles Classic
Grit Week 2022 has officially come to a close, and what a way to go out. Big Cat and PFT Commenter are claiming they are the only podcasters on earth to have climbed the equivalent of Mount Everest, even if it mostly involved walking in circles around a mountain in Colorado. PFT has officially fallen in love with the Centennial State, though he wasn't exactly impressed by the world's tallest peak.
PFT CommenterMount Everest is low-key mid
Honestly, Mount Everest, low key mid for real dude.
PFT CommenterColorado is my favorite state
I love this state. I think it's my favorite state. It is all in all. It's a great state.
Fyre Fest and the Beacon Ban
Fyre Fest of the week featured a major bombshell: the guys are officially the bad boys of podcasting. PFT revealed that James Dolan has essentially blacklisted the show from one of New York's most iconic venues.
PFT CommenterWe are banned from the Beacon Theater because of James Dolan
Part of my take was slated to do a live show in New York city at the beacon theater... I just got information that that date has been pulled from us because James Dolan owns the beacon theater. And we are the fucking bad boys of podcasting. We're banned from the beacon theater because of James Dolan.
Big Cat’s Fyre Fest involved a traumatic encounter at a hotel cafe where a grown adult used terminology that should be reserved for toddlers. It’s a moment that will clearly haunt him for the rest of his life.
Big CatIt is cringeworthy for one adult to use the word 'potty' when talking to another adult
The person who was working the like little cafe... was like, I gotta, I'm putting up this sign. I gotta go to the potty. And it's been in my head since, and I don't like another adult telling another adult I have to go use the potty is the most cringeworthy. Like I can't get outta my head.
Nathaniel Hackett on Gold Zones and The Boat
Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett joined the show and immediately proved he is a first-ballot PMT friend. He’s a guy who loves Star Wars, Austin Powers, and positive vibes. He even explained why he refuses to use the term "Red Zone" because it sounds like a reason to stop scoring.
Nathaniel HackettThe red zone should be called the 'gold zone'
Why does everybody call it the red zone? Why would I wanna stop? I mean you can call it the green zone, but everybody uses that for third down. And if we're talking about money, I want the it's gold zone. I mean, touchdowns give you gold.
One of the most legendary moments of the interview came when Hackett reminisced about Blake Bortles’ time in Green Bay. He shared a story about his son running full-speed into the Boat’s midsection and coming away with a very specific compliment that Bortles still cherishes. The guys even tried to manifest a reunion in Denver.
Nathaniel HackettI would consider signing Blake Bortles to the Broncos
I think I need to have a conversation with him [Bortles] and the general manager and the new owners, you know, we can't get crazy here. [Big Cat: I'm gonna hold you to that, I think that was a guarantee.]
Hackett also isn't afraid to let his personality shine in the locker room. While most coaches are buttoned-up and boring, he’s ready to challenge the league to a dance-off.
Nathaniel HackettI would probably win a dance contest against most other NFL coaches
I feel like I, I would, I would probably win dance contest with most, most of the [NFL coaches].
The Denver Airport Conspiracy Review
No trip to Denver is complete without investigating the airport that everyone thinks is a Nazi bunker. PFT was all-in on the weird murals and the creepy blue horse, while Big Cat tried to wrap his head around the physical shape of the world based on the maps in the terminal.
PFT CommenterThe Denver airport was likely built by Nazis or the New World Order
Denver international airport airport built by Nazis, right? Well, it was built by the same person that or the same company that built the underground layer... There's a lot of, a lot of conspiracies about this place. There's miles of underground bunker... Something going on that doesn't add up.
Big CatThe earth is 'rounded' like a vert ramp, not flat or circular
Everyone's been wrong cuz it's it's it's not flat or circular. It's rounded. Slightly angled. Yeah. It's like a, a tent that catches a little bit of wind underneath it.
Despite all the cool conspiracy theories and the "Big Light" art installation, the guys weren't exactly impressed with the actual travel experience. Compared to Indy and Madison, Denver just didn't have the juice.
Big CatThe Denver airport is the worst one we have reviewed so far
I'm just gonna say it... I take Indy airport and Madison airport over this airport. [PFT: It's in last place.] It's firm last place. That's new power rankings are out.
Mount Rushmore of Candy
To wrap up Grit Week, the guys drafted the Mount Rushmore of Candy. Hank finally got to pick first and went with the absolute gold standard of the breakfast of champions.
HankReese's Peanut Butter Cups are the best candy overall
One, one, no brainer. Pick hat knows this favorite candy. I literally had it for breakfast this morning. Reese's.
Big Cat and PFT stayed strong with the chocolate-and-peanut-butter theme, arguing that the elevated version of a classic M&M is the only way to go.
Big CatPeanut Butter M&Ms are better than regular M&Ms
Our third pick, we're gonna go with peanut butter M&Ms... Easy money in the bank. I would take that over regular M&M actually all day, all day. If somebody handed you a bag of regular M&Ms, and one peanut butter, you're taking peanut butter every time.
Billy Football, ever the agent of chaos, tried to convince the world that Twizzlers are actually plumbing tools, while PFT stuck to his guns about the best thing to eat in a dark cinema.
Billy FootballA Twizzler can be used as a straw for drinking Coke
You know, what's the best part about Twizzlers? If you bite both ends, you can use it as straw. That's true... get a large Coke. Yeah. Longs, Twizzlers bite. Both ends use the Twizzler as a straw for the Coke.
PFT CommenterSour Patch Kids are elite movie snacks
If I go to a movie, I'm getting two snacks... My second snack, always Sour Patch Kids, people, elite movie snacks. They're very, very good.
The draft nearly spiraled when it came to Starburst rankings. Hank came out with a psycho take on the orange squares, leading Big Cat to defend the honor of the pink ones.
Big CatPink is the greatest Starburst flavor
Pink one. One's... Pink is the, is the goat. Pink's the only one for me.
Just remember, if the Broncos win the Super Bowl, Nathaniel Hackett is the one holding the scalpel for Big Cat's pinky.
