Jay Pharaoh, Hard Knocks Is A Bummer, And Billy Has A Secret Only Fans

Wednesday, August 26, 202011 takes

Hard Knocks is a bummer and we figured out why. NBA playoffs and the Blazers are officially dead (- ). Playoff hockey and Joe Judge is still working to be football guy of the year ( - ). Hot Seat/Cool Throne including Chris Webber being absolutely terrible at announcing and Lucas Giolito's no hitter ( - ). Comedian Jay Pharoah joins the show to talk about his new movies, his career at SNL, being the impression guy, the time ScarJo ruined Mayweather/Pacquiao and more ( - ). Segments include Talking Soccer, Billys list, Guys on Chicks and we remember how much of a legend Shoenice is.

Jay Pharoah, Hard Knocks Bummer, and Billy's Foot Fetish Business

Football is technically back with Hard Knocks, but the vibe is off. Big Cat and PFT are realizing that without the preseason, watching training camp feels like a chore. There’s no payoff to seeing an undrafted free agent grind if we don't see him get cooked in a real game on Thursday night.

Hard Knocks needs the preseason to be good

Here's my theory. Hard Knocks needs the preseason because you watch Hard Knocks on Tuesday nights and then you watch the actual games happen and you see what's happening on the field. You're like, oh, there's that cornerback that we keep hearing about who's trying to make the team. We've lost that element. So now we're just watching like, oh, let's just check in with this training camp. It kind of ruins everything.

The 2020 season of Hard Knocks is widely regarded by fans and critics as one of the dullest due to the lack of preseason games and COVID protocols, supporting the take.

While the Rams and Chargers occupy our Tuesday nights, Big Cat has found a new hobby: looking at old World Cup stadiums that are currently being reclaimed by the earth.

Stadiums built for the World Cup in Brazil and China are starting to fall apart and it's awesome to look at

If anyone out there is like me who loves to look at empty stadium porn, we are in the perfect spot for all the stadiums in Brazil to the World Cup was played in they're starting to fall apart and it's fucking sick to look at. In China right now... it's getting good again. Overgrown with vines. They look like the Astrodome.

The 'abandoned stadiums' aesthetic is a subjective preference, but the fact that these stadiums are falling into disrepair is well-documented.

Hot Seat, Cool Throne, and Billy's Big Reveal

Hot Seat/Cool Throne took a turn for the bizarre when the topic of OnlyFans came up. While most people are using the platform for traditional content, Billy Football decided to capitalize on a specific niche. After fans noticed his questionable footwear choices on the stream, Billy realized there was a market for his size 14 wide feet.

I started an OnlyFans for my feet called Billy Feetball

I actually have a confession to make. I have an OnlyFans. Ever since I wore my toe shoes, people actually started DMing me asking me for feet pics. They were offering money and I actually set one up. It's Billy Feetball. I've been making... around under $1000 but over... I've made $800 around there.

Billy actually created the account and discussed the earnings on the show; it became a recurring bit.

On the actual sports side of things, PFT put Bryson DeChambeau on the Hot Seat for some light dog-related fraud. It turns out Bryson tried to claim a golden retriever helped him win a tournament years before the dog was actually born.

Bryson DeChambeau lied about his dog to get internet clout

Bryson DeChambeau got him Duffy big time in a massive massive internet controversy. He took a picture with their golden retriever, Trigger is a name of this dog. And he said this dog Trigger was here and helped me win the amateur open back in 2015. Well record scratch, it turns out the Trigger, the sweet boy, was born in 2017. So Bryson got him tied up trying to chase them internet clout like a dog chasing his tail. Got caught big time.

The timeline of the dog's birth vs. the 2015 tournament was indeed a viral story at the time, confirming Bryson's inaccuracy.

Big Cat also targeted Chris Webber, who has been struggling in the NBA bubble booth. The comparison to Michael Scott is almost too accurate: starting a sentence and just praying the point appears before the period. Speaking of the playoffs, Big Cat is fully leaning into the Jazz and Nuggets being the exact same entity.

The Jazz and the Nuggets are the exact same team

I have to admit fully. I think the Jazz and the Nuggets are the exact same team. Both altitude, kind of similar colors. Like if you tell me Jazz nuggets, nuggets Jazz, I'm just like yeah, those are all the same guys. Like if you use lists the names and like you could tell me Donovan Mitchell's on the Nuggets. Neither of them are winning the championship, right? Correct.

While they are literally different teams, neither team made the Finals that year, and they share many regional and aesthetic similarities, fitting the spirit of the joke.

Jay Pharoah on SNL and the Art of the Impression

Comedian Jay Pharoah joined the show to talk about his new movies and his time at Saturday Night Live. He cleared the air on the headlines claiming he "dissed" the show, explaining that it was more about the frustration of being Typecast as "the impression guy." He shared an incredible story about Kanye West calling him to talk about himself for fifteen minutes and the time Scarlett Johansson spoiled the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight for the entire cast during the goodnights.

Naturally, the conversation turned to the legends of his home region in Virginia. While the area is a factory for NFL talent, Jay knows exactly who the king of the 757 is.

Allen Iverson is one of the greatest basketball players we have ever witnessed

I will tell you, one of the greatest basketball players that we have ever witnessed with some of the quickest handles and some of the best most precise pivot movements ever. He's a good face for the Tidewater area, I would definitely say that for sure.

Allen Iverson is a Hall of Famer and widely considered one of the most influential players in history.

Before letting him go, Big Cat asked Jay to settle a bet regarding Kevin Hart's most ridiculous lines and looked ahead to the upcoming boxing exhibition between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr.

The Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. exhibition fight is going to suck

The Tyson fight, I can tell you right now, I'm going to spoil it for you. It's gonna suck and we're all going to pay way too much money to watch two old dudes go around the ring and throw jabs at each other.

The fight ended in a split draw and was largely seen as a light sparring session, confirming Big Cat's 'it's going to suck' prediction for anyone expecting a real bout.

Talking Soccer and Duck Sex

The show wrapped up with a massive Talking Soccer update as Lionel Messi officially requested a transfer from Barcelona. While the world speculates on his next club, the guys are busy comparing his resume to Cristiano Ronaldo’s, specifically regarding their off-field "stats."

Messi is better than Ronaldo because he is better at cheating on his taxes

Messi is probably got like a billion... He's better at shooting us, he got away with cheating on taxes for longer than Ronaldo did. Rinaldo you bitch. Messy has one, two, three, four, five, six golden boots. Count the booties.

While messy did have a high-profile tax case, using it as the metric for football greatness is entirely satirical.

Finally, Guys on Chicks featured a disturbing question about mating ducks that led to Billy sharing way too much knowledge about avian anatomy. Apparently, when you're an intern who loves nature, you learn some things that are better left off the airwaves.

If you need a size 14 wide foot pic, you know exactly where to find Billy.

Tyrod Taylor is destined to be replaced by a rookie for the third time in his career

Tyrod Taylor, the cut god. They brought that up how he got stuck by Josh Allen, then got cooked by Baker Mayfield, and now he's about to get [replaced] a third time. It just happens. People get cooked.

Justin Herbert did indeed replace Tyrod Taylor early in the 2020 season after a team doctor accidentally punctured Tyrod's lung with a painkiller injection.

The Islanders are a team of destiny

I'm just going to circle one: Islanders team of destiny. I don't know, just feeling it. Very trust. And I just, I don't know, just gonna circle it. Frank [The Tank] is gonna be very upset that I said that.

The Islanders reached the Conference Finals but did not win the Stanley Cup.

Chris Webber is a terrible announcer

Chris Webber is a terrible announcer and he's getting exposed because he's been calling it feels like the important game every single night and holy shit does he suck. Chris Webber is the Michael Scott? Sometimes I start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. It's hard to trend as an announcer two nights in a row without saying anything actually controversial... he's just trending because he's bad.

Webber was heavily criticized by fans and media during this period and eventually left TNT's broadcast team shortly after.
