Andrew Schulz on Infamous, Alex Jones, and the Knicks
Big Cat and PFT are buzzing after a massive weekend for friends of the program Paddy the Baddy and Meatball Molly. Seeing Dave in a wig catching Meatball Molly in the crowd was the peak of the sports weekend, mostly because the rest of the sports slate was a desert. The guys had to pivot to arguing about the Bears' new orange helmets, which Big Cat is taking personally as a slight against historical franchises.
Big CatHistoric NFL franchises should not use alternate helmets because they look 'candy ass'
The bears unveiled their new helmets. It's now cool for every team. ... that doesn't mean every team needs to do a alternate helmet and the bears kind of were the first team to show up and be like, oh yeah, not every team needs to do this. ... historic franchises should just keep with their regular helmets because there's no reason we're... we're not the Jaguars. ... It's Mickey mouse. It's it's it's candy ass.
PFT isn't exactly optimistic about the on-field product either, predicting that the upcoming Bears-Commanders Thursday Night game might be the most grueling clock-running exercise in NFL history.
PFT CommenterThe Bears and Commanders Thursday night game will be a low-scoring, boring affair with multiple coaching and kicking errors
it is gonna be against the commanders and the greatest Thursday night game that this podcast has ever seen. ... I feel like that is a vibe where it's like the coach [Eberflus], he's gonna lose two challenges. The wind is gonna blow the ball off the kicking tee at least twice in the course of the game. ... It's gonna be one of those that basically has a running clock the entire time, because both teams are just gonna run the ball and nothing exciting is gonna happen.
Andrew Schulz in Studio
Andrew Schulz joined Big Cat and PFT for an absolute marathon of an interview. He came in hot talking about the release of his new special, *Infamous*, which he had to buy back from a streamer to keep it uncensored. Schulz broke down the math of going independent and how he's already cleared $3 million by betting on himself. He doesn't hold back on his hatred for the Hollywood system, specifically the irony of his acting career.
Andrew SchulzI hate acting and am bad at it, and it's ironic that people keep offering me roles precisely because I tell them not to cast me
I only care about comedy. Right? You gotta force me to act. ... I'm saying this right now. And every time I say it, I get offered another gig. I don't like acting right. I'm bad at it, but they keep offering shit. ... It was like literally the director [of White Men Can't Jump] almost didn't put me in it. And I was like, why? He was like, well, I listen to brilliant idiots. And you specifically said, don't cast me. I'll ruin your movie.
The conversation spiraled into everything from the "intellectual" branding of guys like Malcolm Gladwell to the obsession with space.
Big CatMalcolm Gladwell is a guy who is just smart enough for dumb people to think he's a genius
Malcolm Gladwell is the, is the perfect case of a guy who's just smart enough that dumb people like ourselves think he's a genius. And then real smart people are like, no, no, no, no, this guy's full of shit.
Schulz also shared some wild stories about having dinner with Alex Jones, including the fact that the man eats raw onions with a knife and fork like a steak. This led to a deep dive into the nature of conspiracy theorists and PFT’s own "woke" status regarding the Jeffrey Epstein situation.
PFT CommenterJeffrey Epstein was definitely a CIA asset running a honey pot operation
I'm fully, I have Alex Jones myself on, on the whole Epstein situation because I know if you, if you connect all the dots, the dude was working for the CIA. ... He cultivated all these different networks of people... befriending the most powerful people in the world got them in a honey pot operation... And he was working for the CIA as well on their payroll.
As a diehard Knicks fan, Schulz has a complicated relationship with James Dolan. Big Cat actually found himself sympathizing with Dolan's chaotic management style, relating it to the brain of a degenerate gambler who thinks every mid-tier signing is finally the one that hits.
Big CatJames Dolan's 'Moneyball' approach to overpaying for good-but-not-great players is relatable
I kinda actually like, now that I'm saying it, I kind of like James Dolan's process strategy. ... as a gambling brain, I think the same thing where it's like, maybe this is maybe it's just like, everyone just plays their best for an entire season. ... let's sign people and just hope for the absolute best case scenario all the time. ... That is a gambling brain of like, yeah. Yeah. This is the one that's gonna work.
Schulz is hopeful about the Jalen Brunson era, though, citing the guard's Villanova DNA as the missing alpha spark New York needs.
Andrew SchulzJalen Brunson is an 'alpha' who will succeed in New York because of his Villanova background
Jalen Brunson actually might be one of those guys. He has a little that alpha. Cause like at Villanova, like you can see it. ... And like when Luka [Doncic] was down in that series, he picked it up. Like he does have that quiet, alpha, like I know what I can do and I'm gonna do it.
Who's Back and Mount Rushmore
Who's Back of the Week featured a classic Brian Urlacher moment where the Hall of Fame linebacker got duped by a fake "Jim Nantz to LIV Golf" tweet. PFT also highlighted the return of robots, specifically a Russian chess robot that decided to stop playing the game and just snap a nine-year-old's finger.
The show wrapped up with a highly contentious Mount Rushmore of Worst Gifts to Receive. Hank led things off by targeting pets, arguing that a gift requiring 15 years of maintenance isn't a gift at all.
HankA pet is the absolute worst gift to receive
Any animal that you have to take care of? It's like, not a, it's not something that let's say you don't like the gift you can, you know, pretend to like it. And then kind of just forget about it. If you get an animal, like you have to take care of that animal.
Big Cat focused on the "insult gifts," specifically the ones that imply you're a mess or out of shape.
Big CatA gym membership is a terrible gift because it implies the recipient is fat
Number one, a gym membership, because the double double, like whammy of basically saying that you're fat and you need to get in shape. And then like the gift is you just have to go punish yourself at the gym, a gym membership fucking sucks to give someone.
Things got weird when PFT took a shot at the French, labeling the Statue of Liberty as a high-maintenance Trojan horse that forced the US into a permanent defensive pact. Billy finished the segment by somehow offending multiple nationalities while trying to explain the history of common phrases, proving once again that he cannot be normal for a single minute.
If you see a giant wooden horse in your driveway this week, just keep driving.
