Adam Friedland on the AFC North, the DNC, and the ‘Division of Quarterbacks’
The vibes are high at Camp Barstool as the guys record from a cabin, but the sports world is moving fast. The big news of the day is the Indianapolis Colts naming Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback. Big Cat isn't buying the hype, suggesting that Shane Steichen is simply in survival mode.
Big CatDaniel Jones starting for the Colts is a decision made under duress by Shane Steichen
I believe this is a decision made under duress by Shane Steichen. He [is] very much on the Hot Seat. And he basically is in the worst place you wanna be as an organization where it's like, I'm gonna get fired. I gotta find a way to eke out like six or seven wins. Daniel Jones gives you a higher floor.
PFT is a bit more optimistic about the move, suggesting that Jones has a decent floor even if he isn't exactly a world-beater.
PFT CommenterDaniel Jones will be serviceable for the Colts and can win eight games
Daniel Jones, when I say he is gonna be good, I, I would be shocked if he was like a, a pro bowl level quarterback, but I think he could be serviceable... I don't think he's going to be one of the better quarterbacks in the AFC, but I do think he could be good enough to win like eight games.
Speaking of quarterbacks, the AFC North is looking like a gauntlet now that Joe Flacco has officially returned to the mix. Between the veteran presence of Rodgers and Flacco and the young stars like Lamar and Burrow, the division is absolutely loaded.
PFT CommenterThe AFC North is officially the 'division of quarterbacks' now that Joe Flacco is back
AFC North quarterbacks: Flacco, [Aaron] Rodgers, Lamar [Jackson], [Joe] Burrow. It's the division of quarterbacks. Listen, two guys have, the two old guys have Super Bowls. The young guys haven't done it.
The London Super Bowl Debate and Stafford Clones
Hank decided to double down on his controversial take that the Super Bowl should be moved to London. He argues that it's a global game and the venue shouldn't matter, while Big Cat and PFT are nearly vomiting at the thought of giving away our country's most important sporting event.
HankThe Super Bowl should be played in London to make it a bigger global event
It's a football field. It's the same dimensions, it's the same place. Hey, people are, have it so twisted where it's like, if we want this to be the biggest event in the world, we should have it in [London]... It's better for the sport. It's better for the show. It's better for us. It's better for everyone.
Big CatGiving the Super Bowl to another country is disgusting
The Super Bowl is the most important thing we do as a country. We, we create the Super Bowl every year. We have a season, a football season that creates the Super Bowl. To give that to another country is disgusting. I'm disgusted with you.
Things got even weirder when the guys discussed the conspiracy theory that Matthew Stafford died and has been replaced by a clone. While most people would dismiss this immediately, Big Cat is leaving the door open just a crack for the possibility of a Rams cover-up.
Big CatThere is a non-zero chance that Matthew Stafford died and has been replaced by a clone
A hashtag started Matthew Stafford died, or Stafford died weeks ago. And people are running with the theory that he's dead. And this is a clone because he finally was at practice on Monday. I'm not saying I don't believe it. There's a 1% chance I believe it.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne and Mount Rushmore
Hot Seat/Cool Throne covered everything from LeBron's golf habits to Auburn's creative accounting regarding their national championship history. PFT is a fan of the Tigers just deciding they've won more trophies.
PFT CommenterAuburn adding four historical national titles is the beauty of college sports
Auburn football won four national championships today. They updated their official national titles. They added a championship in 1910, 1914, 1958, and then most notably they added 2004. They finished the season undefeated, but they didn't get invited. This is kind of the beauty of college sports. That you can just claim whatever you want.
On the Cool Throne, Justin Herbert is thriving. Big Cat thinks the Chargers' quarterback is in for a massive season now that his off-field life is making headlines.
Big CatJustin Herbert will have a breakout season because he's dating Madison Beer
I agree. I think this is actually Justin Herbert's breakout season. Yeah. Yeah. I like this like getting the hot girlfriend. He's now he's around.
The Mount Rushmore of things that make your friend's house cool brought back some serious nostalgia. Highlights included the "divorced parents' house" where there were no rules, the house with the specific pantry full of Gushers and Zebra Cakes, and the basement where the parents couldn't hear you making bad decisions.
Adam Friedland Joins the Show
Comedian Adam Friedland stopped by for a long-overdue appearance. He talked about the transition from Cumtown to the more high-effort *Adam Friedland Show*, giving major credit to his former co-host for the creative spark.
Adam FriedlandNick Mullen is the funniest guy of all time
Nick [Mullen] was a genius. He was the funniest guy of all time. No, I mean, it was incredible. It was so funny.
Adam also touched on the bizarre way the Democratic Party has tried to court him and other podcasters as they search for an answer to the Rogan-sphere. He isn't convinced they'll find what they're looking for by simply buying into a platform without changing their messaging.
Adam FriedlandThe Democratic Party is desperate for a podcast 'answer' because they offer no real substance
They're fucking desperate. If it's me from Cumtown, they don't have shit, dude. They think they lost because they didn't have a good enough podcast? They're fucking idiots because they offered nothing. Maybe they lost because they're like 'yeah, you can't have healthcare, but we painted a rainbow crosswalk'.
As a Laker fan and soccer enthusiast, Adam shared some thoughts on the current state of sports fandom. He admitted that being an American who calls it "footy" and supports Arsenal is a tough look, especially while living in Brooklyn.
Adam FriedlandBeing an American soccer fan is the 'worst kind of guy you could be'
Being an American soccer fan is like, it's the, it's just the worst kind of guy you could be. Really? It's just the most [lame]. I live in Brooklyn, and I like footy. Like, it's just like shut up, you know.
He also took a shot at the Obama basketball mystique, revealing some insider info about how the former president carries himself on the court.
Adam FriedlandObama calls 'bullshit fouls' in pickup basketball
I heard from someone that's hooped with him [Obama]... I heard that He calls bullshit fouls... In pickup. It is Mark against his person. No, absolutely... Weak ass fouls and pick up basketball.
To wrap things up, the guys took some listener questions for a special "Guys on Camp" segment, including a heated debate over whether it's acceptable to camp out in front of a store for a new release or if corner camping in Call of Duty makes you a bad person.
PFT stays winning with his automatic shotgun and a dream.
