Jerry O’Connell on Fantasy Fallout and Jackass Forever Review
Super Bowl week is in full swing in Los Angeles, and the energy is peak West Coast. Big Cat and PFT are navigating the time zones and the heat while trying to make sense of a Bengals-Rams matchup that feels like a collision of destiny and star power. While the Rams have the roster that looks unbeatable on paper, the presence of Joe Burrow has everyone questioning if logic even matters anymore.
Big CatThe Rams have a better roster in almost every spot, but Joe Burrow is good enough to win Super Bowl LVI
The Rams are probably better in pretty much every spot but Joe Burrow. And then I say, but Joe Burrow's worth the win. And that's where I'm like the Rams feel like if you did it on paper and you just did a guy off, like, all right, the Rams are easily better, but Joe burrow is Joe burrow.
Beyond the quarterback duel, Big Cat is keeping a close eye on the prop market, specifically Odell Beckham Jr. with a looming life milestone that could be the ultimate motivation for an anytime touchdown.
Big CatOdell Beckham Jr. will score a touchdown in the Super Bowl if his child is born before the game
Odell Beckham Jr. looks like he's going to have his first kid in the next couple of days. If he does, you know what that means? He's scoring a touchdown, Odell Beckham to score a touchdown in the super bowl.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hot Seat/Cool Throne covered everything from Nelly’s accidental Instagram post to the absolute lack of buzz surrounding the Winter Olympics. Big Cat is convinced that the games are a total wash without the star power of the NHL on the ice.
Big CatThe 2022 Winter Olympics are failing because the NHL players aren't participating
The Olympics are a fucking fact that hockey, like the pros don't play. That's what draws everyone in. Like if team USA was playing Russia tomorrow morning, we would wake up and watch it. We'd wake up and watch it.
Billy Football found himself on the hot seat for a classic Billy move: sleeping through a planned muscle beach workout with Jake. The tension led to a rare moment where Billy admitted his "testosterone was low" as an excuse for being low energy. Meanwhile, the guys celebrated MLB’s decision to stop testing for steroids, with Jake predicting a massive boom for the sport.
Jake MarshHome runs will increase in MLB because they stopped testing for steroids
My cool throne are yobbos, dingers, home runs, whatever you want to call them. Because for the first time in 20 years, Major League Baseball is stopping testing its players for steroids.
Jerry O'Connell in Studio
Mount Rushmore guest Jerry O'Connell joined Big Cat and PFT in LA, looking like a cross between Don Draper and a South Beach mogul. Jerry is the ultimate friend of the program, bringing gifts in the form of original poetry for Hank and Billy. He also updated the show on his "two-quarter rule" for watching football, a negotiation with his wife that keeps his marriage intact but his fandom in a state of high-pressure bursts. Jerry even defended Tony Romo against the haters, noting that Romo is the only broadcaster who can actually get his wife to stay in the room during a game.
Jerry O'ConnellTony Romo is a great broadcaster because he has broad marketing crossover that appeals even to non-fans
I think he does a great job. I really do. I'll tell you who loves Tony Romo: my wife. If I have to sit down with my wife, I only get about two quarters of football a weekend. And if Tony Romo is calling it, my wife will actually come into the room and like pay attention to it. I think from a marketing standpoint, I think he crosses over.
Fantasy football remains Jerry’s primary obsession and source of daily misery. After a season of micromanaging the team he shared with the guys in CJ McCollum's league, Jerry has officially declared several franchises persona non grata in his draft book. He's done with the "bad vibes" in Dallas and has completely severed ties with the Carolina Panthers backfield.
Jerry O'ConnellChristian McCaffrey and the Carolina Panthers are dead to me in Fantasy Football
Carolina Panthers. Nothing. Yeah. I like that. So Chris McCaffrey officially dead to you now. He is dead to me. You know? What's so funny when I auto drafted him... I said to myself, he's going to get injured... So never Carolina Panthers.
Jerry also shared his experience watching the Tuck Rule 30 for 30 over his wife's shoulder at a restaurant. Despite being a Jets fan who has suffered more than most, he couldn't believe Tom Brady's lack of humility when sitting across from Charles Woodson.
Jerry O'ConnellTom Brady should have admitted he got lucky on the Tuck Rule in the 30 for 30
I was watching over her shoulder and Tom Brady... he's sitting on a couch with Charles Woodson. And they actually pull a football out and you can see they're talking about the Tuck Rule... why wouldn't he just say, 'Hey Charles, you know what? You're right. It was a crap call, man. It was, I'm not sure that we deserve that.' Give the satisfaction to someone else.
Jackass Forever Review
To wrap up the show, Big Cat, PFT, Hank, and a very confused Jake reviewed Jackass Forever. While Jake felt like he was watching an alien ritual, Big Cat and PFT were in awe of the staying power of Johnny Knoxville and the crew. For Big Cat, the movie isn't just about the stunts; it's a testament to the enduring power of guy friendship and the peak of our cultural output.
Big CatThe Jackass crew is the peak of American culture
They are to me... I know people will say, this is like a sad statement. They're like the peak of like American culture to me. Like, I love everything about them. I think they're so fucking funny... it's like, it's genius. Everything about it is genius.
Big CatThe absolute core of Jackass is just guy friendship and dudes hanging out
We talk about jackass, like it's at the, at the absolute core of it. It's just like guy friendship. Like it's dudes hanging out. Yeah, they do extreme shit. But like who hasn't been hanging out with friends like, oh he shit himself. Or he did this. Like, oh, that's hilarious. You sit there and you're laughing and crying... and that's jackass.
The review hit on the incredible cup check scenes, the Silence of the Lambs skit, and the sheer bravery of the new cast members. Big Cat was so moved by the experience that he believes the Academy is committing a crime by not recognizing the film.
Big CatJackass Forever should be nominated for an Oscar for the joy it gives the world
Give Jackass an Oscar. Yeah. There's one of Nobel peace prize. It's ridiculous that those Hollywood phoneys have not given Jackass an Oscar yet. It should at least be nominated because the amount of joy that they've given to the world, it kicks the shit out of every other director.
Never forget that an alligator snapping turtle has 1,000 pounds of bite force per inch.
