Joe Buck on Hair Plugs, Strip Clubs, and Why He's a Bastard
Big Cat is officially in the gutter after getting Kershaw'd in person, but the show must go on. The guys are coming to you straight from the lab in Chicago after a weekend that featured third-row seats with Marlins Man and the debut of PFT's new alter-ego: Marlins Woman. While Big Cat is spiraling over the Cubs' lack of hitting, the NFL world is dealing with a full-blown Dak Prescott takeover in Dallas.

Dak Prescott has to stay as the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Tony Romo waits in the wings, but is reminded yet again that Dak lives matter in the Big D. Cowboys button up the Packers like a creepy cardigan 30-16.
While the Cowboys are flying high, the defending NFC champs are officially in the dirt. Big Cat isn't waiting for a mathematical elimination to call it on Cam Newton and company.
Big CatThe Carolina Panthers' season is over
The Carolina Panthers season is over. They make a batch of bathtub Ted Ginn Jr. and the Panthers season continues to tank array.
PFT isn't exactly sold on the Falcons being the new kings of the NFC either, despite their hot start. He sees a regression coming for Matt Ryan that will land the Dirty Birds right back in the middle of the pack.
PFT CommenterThe Falcons will finish the season with a record no better than 9-7
Matt Ryan, I think he's okay. I think he's a career okay guy. I think that he's going to find his level soon. Falcons are going to go no better than 9-7.
The Worst Game Ever and Jacksonville's Finest
Uncle Chaps joined the show to discuss the absolute war of attrition that was Jaguars-Bears. It was a game so devoid of quality that it made everyone involved question why they even like the sport of football in the first place.
Uncle ChapsThe Jaguars-Bears game was legitimately one of the worst NFL games ever played
Legitimately one of the worst games I've ever seen. No, it really did [take the fun out of football]. Watching it, I was like, I don't even know why I like this sport.
The conversation took a turn for the historical when the guys revisited their ranking of Jacksonville's most famous exports. Despite the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Big Cat is standing firm that Fred Durst and the boys have a stronger claim to the throne based on sheer staying power.
Big CatLimp Bizkit is the most famous band from Jacksonville because they have more longevity than Lynyrd Skynyrd
We also were judging on longevity, and Limp Bizkit has Lynyrd Skynyrd beat by a long shot. Limp Bizkit did it for longer. That counts.
Re-Re-Recurring Guest Joe Buck
Joe Buck joined the program to promote his new book, *Lucky Bastard*, and he didn't hold back on the self-deprecation. Between discussing his hair plug addiction and the fact that he used to frequent strip clubs with his dad, Buck has officially leaned into the PMT brand. He even weighed in on the important historical hypothetical of which legendary broadcaster would win a street fight.
Joe BuckHarry Caray would beat Vin Scully in a fight because he couldn't feel pain
[Harry Caray wins in a fight against Vin Scully]. Harry Caray. Couldn't feel pain. Too drunk... Well, you know, I'm not going to be the one to say that.
The guys tried to help Buck with some prep for the NLCS, offering up some advanced scouting on Kris Bryant's sneaky athleticism that you won't find in a standard box score.
Joe BuckKris Bryant is an underrated base runner and is actually elite at it despite his lack of speed
Kris Bryant, underrated base runner. People say that. He may not be fast, but he's a hell of a base runner. So say that.
Buck also dropped a bombshell regarding his future in the booth. While Vin Scully seems to have been calling games since the dawn of time, Buck has a much shorter runway in mind for when he'll finally hang up the headset.
Joe BuckI will probably retire from broadcasting in about 15 years
Vince Scully is in his 67th and final year here. Subtract about 30 years from that. And then, yeah, so we're like in the upper 30s... I may just go do something else.
Segments and Sabermetrics
In a classic edition of Just Chill Out, the guys had to address the madness of Bills Mafia. PFT brought some hard data to the table regarding the frequency of... let's just say "alternative dining habits" at Buffalo tailgates.
Finally, the show wrapped up with a very special Thoughts and Prayers for Odell Beckham Jr. After a rocky start to the season, OBJ has finally found the maturity and stability the media has been begging for by entering a committed relationship with a piece of sideline equipment.
Big CatOdell Beckham Jr. has officially matured because he proposed to a kicking net
Thoughts and prayers to Odell Beckham's immaturity because he's clearly grown up now. He's just a tremendous young man... because he learned his lesson. The lesson was stop making it about you and having all these antics. And so he did that by proposing to the net that he beat up a couple weeks ago.
Hopefully the kicking net says yes so we can get an invite to the wedding.
