Imagine Dragons on Bangers and Commercials + Caps are a Wagon
The vibes are immaculate because the Washington Capitals are officially an absolute wagon. After a Game 4 shellacking of the Golden Knights, PFT is ready to plan the parade route in D.C. while Big Cat is enjoying the easiest bandwagon ride of his life. The guys are so confident that they're already discussing Ovechkin's place on the Mount Rushmore of hockey legends.
PFT CommenterThe Stanley Cup Finals are over and the Capitals will win in five games
This series is fucking over. Done. Done. Over, finished, no chance. They're not even going to get a single more game. It's going to be 4-1. Caps in 5.
With the Capitals sitting pretty at 3-1, the conversation naturally turned to what a ring does for the Great Eight's legacy. PFT is ready to put him right next to the Great One if he finishes the job.
PFT CommenterIf Alex Ovechkin wins the Stanley Cup, he might be the GOAT
If [Ovechkin] gets the Stanley Cup, which would be his third Stanley Cup in this playoffs, you've got to say, is he the GOAT? He might be. GOAT Vetchkin? It's either him or Gretzky.
However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. PFT is already bracing for the inevitable championship hangover that comes with a summer spent celebrating in the Caspian Sea.
PFT CommenterThe Capitals will suffer the biggest championship hangover ever and miss the playoffs next year if they win the Cup
If Ovechkin wins the Stanley Cup, I am predicting the biggest championship hangover of all time in — we're not even making the playoffs next year. No, I bet he's going to score five goals next year because he's going to spend the entire summer on a yacht in the Caspian Sea just having hookers and blow just delivered to him by Putin.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hot Seat/Cool Throne took a dark turn as Big Cat officially declared the death of a beloved PMT staple. Darren Rovell went to a sportsbook and placed a $6.90 bet on the Browns, effectively sucking all the joy out of the number forever.
Big CatDarren Rovell officially killed 69 jokes
Rovell has caught on... He did it on the Browns to win the Super Bowl, $6.90. And get this, the ticket writer laughed no less than three times... This is like when your parents figure out how to text emojis... it just kind of all loses its luster.
PFT CommenterThe best way to kill a stale joke is to have Darren Rovell use it
The best way to kill a joke... the best way to kill that would be to have Darren Rovell just hop all over, and then everybody just... so it's dead.
Meanwhile, Miss America is on the Hot Seat for removing the bikini portion of the pageant. Big Cat pointed out the inherent flaw in a beauty pageant that decides to stop judging based on, well, beauty.
Big CatMiss America is no longer a beauty pageant if it removes the bikini portion
It's also ridiculous that a beauty pageant is no longer being judged on beauty. That's where we're at.
On the Cool Throne, the guys discussed the Yankees' scheduling beef with ESPN. Hank thinks Aaron Boone is playing chess while the worldwide leader is playing checkers.
HankThe Yankees' protest against ESPN's scheduling is a power move using Aaron Boone's inside knowledge
It's also a power move because you know Aaron Boone knows the inside deal with ESPN, so he knows the leverage he has.
Imagine Dragons Lead Singer Dan Reynolds
Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons joined the show to discuss the band's massive success and why their music is the soundtrack to every commercial and video game menu in existence. He was a great sport about the "Imagine Dragon these nuts" jokes and gave some insight into the band's high-energy sound.
Dan ReynoldsSelling songs to commercials is a valid way to support a family and not 'selling out'
I've always viewed music with the eye of like... laughing and kind of throwing up like, kind of like that, that whole thing that exists in the urban world. That's kind of like, yeah, yeah, I'm in this commercial and it's dope and it's taking care of my family... I've just never understood the mentality... of like, hey, it's sellouty to make money and I'd rather be like a cool hipster that is not making money for my family.
Dan talked about being a Mormon kid from Vegas, his battle with an autoimmune disease that keeps him off sugar, and the time they actually got a "Butler Monkey" delivered to their dressing room because they put it on their rider as a joke.
LeBron Blames and White House Drama
LeBron James is back in the crosshairs after his Game 1 sideline antics. The guys dissected the footage of LeBron's body language after the J.R. Smith blunder, and Big Cat wasn't buying the "Great Teammate" narrative.
Big CatLeBron James' bad body language on the sidelines in Game 1 was weird and indefensible
To never even look at your teammates in the eye and be like, hey guys, we could still win this game. That was a little weird to me. ... he did the bad body language where he was like, we will lose to Golden State. He didn't look, and he kind of moved his shoulders like, oh, fine. You guys have cooties. I don't want to touch you.
As the NBA Finals move toward their conclusion, the inevitable free agency rumors are swirling. Big Cat decided to zag while everyone else is zigging toward a potential superteam in Houston.
Big CatLeBron James will not join the Houston Rockets in free agency
By the way, I know it's one of the odds-on favorites for LeBron James, but do we want to just get real risky with it and say LeBron James not going to the Houston Rockets?
Finally, the show touched on the Philadelphia Eagles having their White House invitation rescinded. PFT has a theory that the cancellation might have had more to do with the President feeling a bit overshadowed by the Super Bowl MVP.
PFT CommenterDonald Trump was intimidated by Nick Foles' physical presence
I think Trump might have been a little intimidated having Nick Foles... True, big dick Nick. You can't have a guy like that storm into your Oval Office... Especially with Melania around now. He basically becomes the president.
Hopefully, the Caps don't have the same issues when they inevitably hoist the Cup in five games.
