Christian Horner, Max Verstappen, & Randy Moss on F1 Miami and the Kentucky Derby

We’re officially in Miami for F1 weekend, and the energy is high despite Big Cat realize he’s essentially wearing a pillow of spanks under his shirt. The Warriors have officially clawed back into their series with the Lakers, proving that when Klay Thompson is the "perfect amount of high," the rest of the league is in trouble.

The Warriors are nearly unbeatable when Klay Thompson scores 30 or more points

Klay Thompson, when he scores 30 or more points... 64 and 10. Pretty good. When he has, when he's the perfect amount of high for a game, when he takes his edible and times it out perfectly before the game and he goes off, the Warriors win those games.

As of the episode date, the Warriors were statistically dominant when Klay hit the 30-point mark.

While the Warriors look scary when they’re clicking, Big Cat isn't ready to count out LeBron and AD just yet. This feels like a heavyweight fight that's only just beginning.

The Lakers-Warriors series is going to seven games

It feels like this is gonna be a seven game series. I'm very, very excited... I like, I can't decide who's going to win this series because I do still...

The Lakers won the series in six games.

Max’s Philly Meltdown

The Sixers got absolutely dog-walked by the Celtics in Game 2, and Max is handling it about as well as you’d expect—which is to say, he’s perspiring anger out of his hands. Big Cat and PFT are convinced Game 3 is a must-win, while Max is clinging to the idea that it was just a "rehab start" for Joel Embiid. He's guaranteeing a massive bounce back for the MVP.

Joel Embiid will score at least 35 points in Game 3 against the Celtics

He's gonna look so much better tonight... He's gonna drop at least 35 [points].

Embiid scored 30 points in Game 3, missing the 35-point threshold.

Max is adamant that the Game 2 blowout was a total fluke and won't be repeated.

The Sixers will never play as poorly as they did in Game 2 again in these playoffs

That game [Game 2] will not happen again... we will not see the Sixers look like that again in this playoffs.

While they played better in some games, the Sixers were blown out again 112-88 in the decisive Game 7 of the same series.

Hank, on the other hand, is riding a massive high. He’s already planning the parade routes in Boston, convinced that Marcus Smart is a sniper and the Sixers have already quit.

The Celtics will gentlemen's sweep the Sixers

Must win. Five games, gentlemen's sweep starts tonight.

The series went the full seven games, with the Celtics winning 4-3.

Red Bull Racing in the Building

Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner joined us in person to talk about the dominance of the RB19 and his legendary "lucky toilet" routine. It’s a luxury problem to have two drivers fighting for a championship, but Horner is managing the egos by alternating everything from who drives out of the garage first to who speaks first in debriefs. He’s also looking forward to the massive spectacle coming to the States later this year.

The F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the biggest sporting event in the world in 2023

I think it's gonna be the biggest sporting event globally this year. I really do. I think that the interest and the hype around that race, I mean, a Saturday night race down the strip in Vegas, who doesn't wanna be there?

The inaugural Las Vegas GP was a massive financial and viewership success, though 'biggest globally' is subjective compared to the Super Bowl or Champions League final.

We also sat down with Max Verstappen and Sergio "Checo" Perez for some much-needed team building. We put them through the ringer with eye-contact exercises and questions about their favorite qualities in one another. Max appreciated Checo being a family man, and Checo revealed that Max is actually a "good loser"—a claim Big Cat and PFT found very hard to believe given Max’s history.

Randy Moss Kentucky Derby Preview

It wouldn’t be Derby week without our good friend Randy Moss. Randy is keeping a very close eye on the Japanese horses this year, noting that they are currently kicking ass worldwide. He’s officially planting his flag with a Japanese runner to take the roses.

Derma Sotogake will win the Kentucky Derby

There are two Japanese horses in the Derby this year. One of them is my pick to win the Derby... His name is Derma Sotogake.

Derma Sotogake finished 6th; Mage won the Derby.

For the degenerates looking to spice up their tickets, Randy suggests looking at a horse that can close the distance in the final stretch.

Add Disarm to your Kentucky Derby trifecta because he is a great finisher

If you're looking for a big long shot to throw into the try other than Hit Show, I would say a horse called Disarm who's gonna be a stretcher runner who's doing really well.

Disarm finished 4th in the Derby, just missing the trifecta but validating the 'great finisher' claim by moving up from 13th.

We also touched on the legendary Flightline and where he ranks among the all-time greats. Randy didn't hold back, putting him above one of the most beloved Triple Crown winners in recent memory.

Flightline was a better horse than American Pharoah

Secretariat was the best... The four best horses that I've seen... were Secretariat, Flightline, Spectacular Bid, and American Pharoah... I would put 'em in that order. And I know some people think it's heresy to say that Flightline was better than American Pharoah... but I just think that Flightline was better.

This is a subjective historical ranking within horse racing that cannot be definitively proven.

Fyre Fest of the Week

Fyre Fest was headlined by Hank getting absolutely roasted in the YouTube comments for his golf swing. Despite golfing more than almost any other animal on Earth, the internet remains unimpressed. Hank has decided to lean into the villain arc, promising to reach elite status in record time.

I'm gonna become a scratch golfer by the end of the week.

PredictionGolfFireSarcastic
Hank did not become a scratch golfer (0 handicap) by the end of that week, nor has he ever been one.

Memes also shared a harrowing tale of almost shitting himself on a plane, resulting in the tragic loss of a pair of Captain America underwear.

Bet the Japanese horses and don't forget to wear your lucky spanks.

Marcus Smart will never have another shooting performance as good as Game 2

Marcus Smart will never shoot like that again. That's fact.

Smart shot 50% or better again in the same series, notably going 8/15 (53%) in Game 6.

Sam Darnold is the most talented pure thrower in 49ers history

He said Sam Darnold might be the most talented thrower of football that the 49ers have ever had... I guess he's right. Most talented thrower of football.

Even as a 'pure thrower', ranking Darnold above Joe Montana or Steve Young is historically absurd.

Wet Paint will be very hard to beat in the Kentucky Oaks

It's gonna be hard to beat the favorite, the favorite's name is Wet Paint... She's a horse that's won, I think, three races in a row... I like a Wet Paint South Lawn Exacta.

Wet Paint finished 4th and South Lawn finished 10th in the 2023 Kentucky Oaks; Pretty Mischievous won.
