Guy Fieri on Apple Pie Hot Dogs and the Most Contentious Mount Rushmore
The Olympics have officially come to a close, and while NBC’s coverage was a nightmare, the final results gave us plenty to talk about. USA Basketball secured the gold, silencing the doubters and cementing a legacy for one of the most underrated stars in the league. Big Cat is ready to put some respect on a certain Golden State Warrior’s name after his performance in Tokyo.
Big CatDraymond Green is officially a Basketball Hall of Famer
Draymond is a Hall of Famer now. Like, he has everything. Two Final Fours, three titles, two gold medals, Defensive Player of the Year. When you look at his resume, you're like, whoa.
While basketball took the headlines, PFT was busy falling in love with the absolute insanity of race walking. Watching a guy actively suffer through a 50-kilometer race while his body literally shuts down in real-time changed his perspective on what defines an athlete.
PFT CommenterRace walking is the most metal sport in the Olympics
I think I've actually changed my tune on race walking... because it is the funniest looking sport by far, but it's insane. The dude that is the best in the world at it... he was just shitting himself during the race... his body just gave up. It's actually the most metal sport.
Of course, it wouldn't be a PMT recap without some wild Olympic speculation. Between Big Cat comparing wrestling sensation Gable Steveson to a WWE legend and Billy Football going full detective on the Italian sprinting team, the takes were flying.
Big CatGable Steveson is the next Kurt Angle
Gable Stevenson, who's a Barstool athlete... that was incredible. The backflip, fucking legend. He's the next Kurt Angle, I think.
Billy FootballItalian sprinter Lamont Jacobs 100% used steroids to win Olympic gold
Did [Lamont Jacobs] do it? Yeah, 100%. If you look at his Instagram photos from him like two years ago, he's like rail thin. And then if you look at him now, he's like kind of jacked.
The Mayor of Flavortown Returns
Guy Fieri joined the show to discuss his latest creation: the Apple Pie Hot Dog. It sounds like something concocted in a laboratory specifically designed to kill a man, but Guy swears by the science of the sweet and savory combination. He breaks down the anatomy of the dish, from the bacon jam to the apple mustard, and why it's the perfect snack for the Field of Dreams game in Iowa.
Guy FieriThe Apple Pie Hot Dog is a culinary combination that works
What we came up with actually should be prepared and sold in frozen food sections because we take a flaky pie crust, we take an all-American beef hot dog, we make a bacon jam... what we came up with, it so works.
Beyond the hot dog, Guy gave us a glimpse into his personal life, including his workout routine and his inexplicable hatred for runny eggs. He refers to the breakfast staple as "liquid chicken," which is a visual that might actually ruin brunch for everyone listening.
Guy FieriRunny egg yolks are gross 'liquid chicken'
I'm just not a fan of the liquid chicken part of the runny yolk thing that my wife loves. She had to dip the toast in that. I just sit there and go [ugh]. I'm not a big fan of the smell.
Who’s Back and the Mount Rushmore Scandal
Who's Back of the Week featured some classic PMT debates, including the NFL's choice of Ed Sheeran for their season kickoff. PFT remains convinced that Ed Sheeran is simply not "football," especially compared to other arena rock staples.
PFT CommenterEd Sheeran is 'not football' and shouldn't play the NFL Kickoff
Roger Goodell needs a guy that hangs out with him that's like, 'Hey, that's not football.' Ed Sheeran is not football. Not opening night football. Coldplay, not football. Imagine Dragons is way more football than Coldplay.
PFT CommenterImagine Dragons is much more 'football' than Coldplay
Imagine Dragons is way more football than Coldplay. For the most part, there's no situation where you're playing Coldplay where Imagine Dragons wouldn't be a gigantic upgrade.
We also touched on the recurring cycle of trying to cancel Joe Rogan. Big Cat pointed out the inherent irony in the internet's obsession with trying to take down the podcast giant, noting that every attempt to scrub him from the web only serves as a massive marketing campaign for his show.
Big CatTrying to cancel Joe Rogan only promotes his show
It is the dumbest thing ever that they try to cancel Joe Rogan every other month. And then a bunch of people just tweet out Joe Rogan clips that probably just make new Joe Rogan fans. They're just doing his promotion for him.
Everything came to a head during a Mount Rushmore of things you can buy for $20 or less. What was supposed to be a fun segment turned into the most contentious draft in the history of the show. Hank found out that Big Cat and PFT had conspired to let him win, but the plot thickened when it was revealed that Hank had also cheated by having Liam do his picks for him. It was a beautiful, disgusting mess of gaslighting that ended with everyone questioning their friendship.
"I Likened it to running in the wind when the wind is at your back. You're still running fast, Hank."
Despite the drama, the draft included some elite value picks like 50-50 raffle tickets and enough Taco Bell to feed a small village. If you’re looking for the most mentally sharp edition of the show, this wasn’t it, but it was certainly one of the most honest.
