Emergency Colangelo Burner Update, Ryen Russillo, Ryan Whitney, and Rone
It was supposed to be a quiet night. Big Cat and PFT taped the show early, looking forward to a rare night of sleep, only for the Bryan Colangelo burner account story and the Pusha T vs. Drake beef to detonate the internet. The guys rushed back to the studio for an emergency update to address the Sixers' GM allegedly using five different Twitter accounts to chirping his own players and defend the size of his shirt collars.
Big Cat isn't buying the "investigation" and thinks the motive goes all the way to the top of the NBA's free agency food chain.
A Sixers insider created the burner accounts to get Bryan Colangelo fired so LeBron James would sign
I think someone inside the Sixers organization created these accounts to get rid of Bryan Colangelo so that LeBron would come to the Sixers... I think someone in the Sixers organization did it so that they could fire him, and LeBron would be like, 'All right, that asshole's gone. I'm coming to the Sixers.'
Beyond the Sixers drama, JJ Watt is out here wearing full regalia after receiving an honorary doctorate, which has Big Cat convinced the Texans star is ready to perform open-heart surgery in the middle of a flight.
Getting an honorary doctorate makes JJ Watt think he's an actual medical doctor
JJ Watt thinks that getting an honorary doctorate makes him an MD. He's actually a doctor now... He literally thinks that he can go and operate on someone. When he's next on a plane and someone has a stroke or a heart attack, 'Is there a doctor on this plane?' JJ's like, 'Yes, that's me.'
Russillo and the NBA Finals
Ryen Russillo joined the show from a gym in California to breakdown the impending Warriors vs. Cavs Part IV. While the world is exhausted by the lack of parity, Russillo is busy debunking the idea that the Warriors are somehow "lucky" because of opponent injuries. Big Cat tried to float a few of his more "blog boy" flavored takes, specifically targeting the impact of Kevin Durant.
The Warriors move the ball better and are superior without Kevin Durant
The Warriors are better without Kevin Durant... They move the ball better. Yeah, they move the ball better.
Russillo also gave some insight into the Celtics' future, noting that while the young wings are the priority, Danny Ainge is always hunting for the next massive move. As for the actual Finals, Russillo sees the talent gap as just too wide for LeBron to bridge alone this time.
The Golden State Warriors will win the NBA Finals in six games
I'll say Warriors in six. Yeah, I'll say, like, something, you know, a couple of a game there. The Warriors are an incredibly, like, arrogant team, for good reason, but... They will screw around. They will screw around in a game and lose it.
Ryan Whitney and the Stanley Cup
Ryan Whitney brought the heat to discuss the Stanley Cup Final between the Capitals and the Golden Knights. As a hockey guy, Whit has no time for the haters of the Vegas pregame spectacle. If you think a medieval knight fighting a jet on ice is "too much," Whit has some choice words for you.
If you don't like the Vegas Golden Knights' pregame show, you are a 'piece of shit'
If you're not into that pregame ceremony, I actually said you got a dump in your pants, and I'll reword it here, you're a piece of shit. Because it's awesome. I love it. I get a kick out of it. It's Vegas. You know it's a show.
He also took a massive swipe at the NBA's toughness compared to the NHL. After seeing Chris Paul sit out Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals with a hamstring issue, Whit was disgusted, noting that hockey players are getting needles in every joint just to skate a 45-second shift.
Chris Paul not playing Game 7 with a hamstring injury is weak compared to hockey players
So my hammy hurts so bad you can't go out and jump up two inches off the ground and take a jump shot because you're hammy? Are you kidding me? You can't get a shot? Like hockey players, you know how many shots? There's probably, I bet you 18 or 20 guys got a needle somewhere in their body last night just to go out and try to battle for the cup... It's a long way from the heart.
Half-Baked Ideas with Rone
To wrap things up, Rone joined the crew for a legendary session of Half-Baked Ideas. The energy was high (and potentially a little hazy) as they ran through concepts like "nostalgically flavored beverages" and clear socks for the person who wants the sockless look without the swamp foot.
PFT offered a solution for disgraced celebrities like Roseanne Barr that would actually benefit the world through the power of reality TV.
There should be a reality show called 'Racism Island' for people fired for racism like Roseanne Barr
Everyone who loses a job for being racist, like Roseanne Barr... should go on a reality show together. They should make a reality show called Racism Island... and then you take all the money that the show generates, and then you donate it to make a scholarship fund for minorities.
Rone’s pitch for a localized GPS might be the first million-dollar idea to come out of this segment, featuring a Philly version that tells you to "go down to Broad Street and take a left on Passyunk." We ended the show with a little ASMR Cheeto eating, because that’s exactly what the award-winning listeners deserve.
At least we know if the Sixers job opens up, there’s a Twitter egg out there with a very specific knowledge of collar aesthetics ready to take the reins.
