Haley Joel Osment on Child Stardom, Lizard Lifestyles, and Burgergate
Clemson smashed Alabama in the National Championship and their reward was a silver-platter feast of Big Macs, Wendy's, and Domino's at the White House. While the rest of the internet was busy being outraged, Big Cat and PFT were legitimately jealous of the spread.
Big CatClemson being served fast food at the White House is awesome.
I just saw the plates full of Big Macs and Wendy's and pizza. I was like, this is fucking awesome. It looked like essentially being back in college and getting super high and being like, let's just order all the fast food. I'm fully in favor of this move.
PFT did have some logistical concerns about the menu selection, specifically regarding the shelf life of certain McDonald's classics under heat lamps. He argued that some items simply don't translate to a formal state dinner environment.
PFT CommenterA cold Filet-O-Fish is one of the most unappetizing things on Earth.
I can't think of too many things less appetizing than like a cold filet of fish. Yeah, excuse me, McFish. Don't put the filet of fish out there. That's a big time mistake.
This led to a breakdown of which coaches would be most motivated by a fast-food prize. Andy Reid is obviously licking his chops, and Big Cat thinks Matt Patricia is a lock for a future burger-based celebration. However, PFT pointed out that some of the younger, more health-conscious coaches might find the prize more of a punishment than a reward.
PFT CommenterSean McVay is a healthy robot who would hate the White House fast food feast.
It's going to be tougher for McVay, for Sean McVay. He doesn't like this shit. He's a robot. He's like, give me the In-N-Out. [L.A. people] are picky.
Fyre Fest Wars and Arctic Blasts
Hank brought a heated Hot Seat for Netflix, as Hulu pulled an ultimate alpha move by dropping their Fyre Festival documentary days earlier. The guys discussed the sheer lack of conscience required to pull off a scam that big, though PFT found some inspiration in the chaotic energy of the whole disaster.
PFT Commenter"Fuck it, let's just do it and be legends" is an awesome model for life.
We can pretend like we are scrupulous, but I would say that 'fuck it, let's just do it and be legends' is a pretty awesome model for life.
As we approach Championship Sunday, the focus is entirely on the 'Arctic Blast' hitting Kansas City. PFT is convinced that the freezing temperatures are the kryptonite that will finally stop the Patriots' dynasty, mostly because Tom Brady has reached the age where dads just want to move to Florida and complain about the draft.
PFT CommenterThe cold weather in Kansas City favors the Chiefs over the Patriots in the AFC Championship.
My hot seat is the New England Patriots. Because it is going to be 5 to 10 degrees in Kansas City... It favors the Kansas City Chiefs. This is their home field. The Patriots, I don't know if they can do it in the cold.
Haley Joel Osment
Actor Haley Joel Osment joined the show to talk about his transition from being the most famous child actor on earth to doing experimental theater and appearing in hits like *Silicon Valley* and *The Boys*. He told the story of being discovered in an IKEA and what it was like working with legends like Bruce Willis and Tom Hanks.
Haley also settled a long-standing internet mystery: the Walker Texas Ranger "I have AIDS" clip. Since that character followed his role as Forrest Junior, the guys had to ask if Little Forrest was the one who actually had the affliction. Beyond the acting talk, Haley revealed he is a massive reptile enthusiast, which led to a debate on the social hierarchy of unconventional pet owners.
Haley Joel OsmentBeing a lizard guy is better than being a ferret guy.
I like the reptiles. Better than a ferret guy... I think it's the number of lizards. If it's one in a tasteful desert terrarium that's not in the kitchen, then it's fine.
Before letting him go, Haley gave the guys a lesson in theater etiquette. Apparently, wishing an actor 'good luck' is the quickest way to get blacklisted from a production.
Haley Joel OsmentIt is bad luck to say 'good luck' to an actor before a performance.
One thing I will say, because you'll see actors kind of wince if you say it, you're not supposed to say good luck before a performance. That is bad luck to say good luck when you're talking to an actor.
Trouble in Paradise and Year of the Core
The segments were loaded, starting with Trouble in Paradise for the Boston Celtics. Kyrie Irving is publicly calling out the young players, and Hank is officially hitting the panic button. PFT thinks the chemistry is so dead that they might actually need to get into a locker room brawl just to feel something again.
HankKyrie Irving is pulling a 'LeBron' by publicly blaming his young teammates for the Celtics' struggles.
Kyrie has been very outspoken, saying that the young guys need to pick it up. They don't have what it takes to be a championship team as of now. He's pulling a LeBron on them when LeBron was the one he hated.
Finally, Big Cat provided a much-needed update on the Year of the Core. Despite the temptations of sobriety-testing McDonald's runs, the progress is real.
Big CatI am officially down 10 pounds in the 'Year of the Core'.
I actually am down 10 pounds. I'm still about 10 pounds away from anyone being like, 'hey, you actually look good' because I was that overweight. But I am down 10 pounds. So what up now, haters?
If you see a guy at a drive-thru ordering a medium fry just for the car ride home, say hello to Big Cat.
