Stavros Halkias on Ravens, Giannis, and Why Podcasting is a Scam
The Boston Celtics are officially headed to the NBA Finals after surviving a heart-attack-inducing Game 7 against the Miami Heat. Big Cat, PFT, and a very relieved Hank broke down the final minutes, specifically that transition three-pointer from Jimmy Butler that nearly ended the Boston dream. While some critics hated the shot selection, Big Cat stood firmly in Jimmy’s corner.
Big CatJimmy Butler took the right shot at the end of Game 7
I saw some people being like, that's a bad shot. It's like, dude one, it it's wide open. You know, it's a wide open shot... I want him taking that shot. I have no pro—like I would like to go down swinging like that. If you're a heat fan being like Jimmy Butler, taking that shot, who cares about, you know, whether he's a good three point shooter or not, he just, I want him taking that shot.
Speaking of the Heat, the guys shared a collective sigh of relief that they no longer have to watch Kyle Lowry’s antics on a nightly basis. Big Cat was particularly fed up with the constant lobbying for calls.
Big CatKyle Lowry is the absolute worst and most annoying player to watch in the NBA
I'm so happy I don't have to watch Kyle Lowry play anymore. That guy is like, he's the worst. He is literally the worst... I swear if Kyle Lowry spent like maybe even half as much time complaining, he would be double the player. He just complains about every single possession, no matter what.
With the Finals matchup set against the Warriors, the predictions are flying. Hank is all-in on a Boston coronation, while Jake is leaning toward a Golden State demolition. PFT even found a way to link these Celtics back to the Greatest of All Time.
PFT CommenterThe 2022 Celtics are essentially the 1991 Bulls
Are these Celtics the new version of the Bulls? Hmm. Sort of a dynasty, right? ... 91 finals, Jordan and Pippen knocked off the Lakers who were in the finals for the sixth time in eight years... Tatum and Brown face the Warriors who were in the finals for the sixth time in eight years.
Stavros Halkias in Studio
Comedian Stavros Halkias joined the show for an hour-long heater that covered everything from his new special *Live at the Lodge Room* to why he thinks everyone in this industry is essentially a lottery winner. Stavros was incredibly candid about the transition from a windowless room in Queens to being one of the most successful independent comedians in the world.
Stavros HalkiasPodcasting is the biggest scam of all time
I honestly think podcasting is. I mean, we're really pulling the biggest scam of all time over on people. This is complete bullshit. You know what I mean? Like, and, but it takes no effort. If you happen to know how to fucking talk, you just fucking waltz into an easy, like, we kind of all hit a lottery here.
As a die-hard Baltimore sports fan and a Giannis superfan, Stavros didn't hold back on his sports takes. He’s fully convinced that the Celtics only made it this far because of a major injury to the Bucks' rotation.
Stavros HalkiasThe Celtics' 2022 Finals run should have a 'Middleton Asterisk' because the Bucks were missing their second best player
Boston's bitch ass. Getting lucky with [Khris] Middleton. What? I'm calling the Middleton asterisk, which I will not allow them to enjoy this championship, should it happen. And it won't.
He also shared his deep admiration for Lamar Jackson and his absolute disdain for the Cincinnati Bengals, whom he views as total frauds despite their Super Bowl run.
Stavros HalkiasThe Bengals are 'piece of shit' frauds who only made the Super Bowl because things lined up perfectly
I think they have as good a chance to the fucking piece of shit Bengals. They can suck my fucking dick... everything did kind of line up for them, but still, you know that it was because of him [Joe Burrow] that fucking line suck dick.
Who's Back and The Slap
Who's Back of the week featured some existential dread from PFT and a look at the wild weekend in European sports. Big Cat admitted he’s found a new way to enjoy Formula 1 without actually watching a single lap of the race.
Big CatRed Bull is cheating in Formula 1
I've found my perfect niche niches that I don't watch any second of the race. And then just say someone cheated after. Cause it was great. It was like, I didn't watch a second a Monaco. And then I was like red bull cheats.
Finally, the guys had to address the most incredible baseball story of the year: Tommy Pham slapping Joc Pederson over a fantasy football dispute. The details involve IR stashing and disrespectful GIFs in a high-stakes league, leading to the first physical altercation over fantasy football in MLB history. Big Cat thinks the whole situation is absurd for guys making millions of dollars.
Big CatA pro athlete who slaps another man over fantasy football needs to chill out
If you're a professional athlete. If you're, if you're playing for so much money that you have to slap another man, maybe take a step back and be like, this might not be for me.
If we don't get a PMT fantasy league with these two involved by August, we have failed as a program.
