Recap
PFT CommenterBig Cat will fail to hit double digits in the hot dog contest; the over-under should be 7.5
I'd be shocked if you hit double digits. I would say that the over-under should be set at about seven and a half.
Big CatI will eat at least 10 hot dogs in the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
I am going to get double digits. It's going to shock the world. People are going to be like, you know what? All I want is I'm not going to win the contest. But I want at the end of the contest for whoever the Todd McShay, Mel Kiper of the hot dog eating world is to be like, here's a riser for next year, guys. Watch out for him.
Big CatClayton Kershaw loses his man card for getting an epidural
I saw that Clayton Kershaw had an epidural. So I'm going to take his man card. Yeah, chicks get epidurals. Right. I don't even know what – I had to ask you before the show what exactly is an epidural because I thought it was something to do with childbirth, which it is. But I guess Clayton Kershaw – is Clayton Kershaw pregnant?
Big CatMadison Bumgarner is a manlier pitcher than Clayton Kershaw because he DHs for himself
His rival, Madison Bumgarner, is DHing for himself. That's actually one of the coolest things I've seen in a while... Madison Bumgarner now is not only a man, but he has Clayton Kershaw's manhood as well. I just transferred the man card.
PFT CommenterKobe Bryant is considering the Knicks, Celtics, Spurs, Raptors, or Clippers in free agency
I think this is the best-kept secret in free agency so far is what teams is Kobe Bryant taking meetings with? I think he's going to the Knicks, the Celtics, the Spurs or the Raptors? Kobe's a big foreign guy. He's cultured. I think he might want to spend some time up north... [Big Cat suggests Clippers] Yeah, he's probably taking a meeting with them. Yeah. Kobe going to LA.
Interview
Joey ChestnutI would eat cooked human flesh for $10 million
[PFT asks about eating human flesh for $10 million] I could do it. I would do it in a country where it wasn't illegal... It would be like we get a scientific permit to do it.
Joey ChestnutI can chug a gallon of milk and run a mile in 10 minutes
[PFT asks if he could do the milk mile] Yeah, I could do that. I wouldn't run that quickly, but I'd probably finish right about 10 minutes.
Pr 101
Big CatJohnny Manziel's NFL suspension is a PR victory because it keeps him relevant
He got suspended by the NFL for four games. And you know what? That's a great thing for him to have happen because Johnny Manziel, for the first time in a few months, is being talked about in the same sentence as the NFL... It's all good news when the NFL is suspending you because that means you still have a little bit of relevancy.
Olympic Update
Big CatThe Rio Olympics tragedies are a marketing strategy by Brazil
The only way to remind people that the Olympics are coming is to continually have tragedies and threats... There are some guys in Brazil right now sitting in a marketing office patting themselves on the back. We really did this. We're making the news. Yeah, we threw out Zika. We threw out terrorists, a guy with a gun. There's sewage. There's poop water. Hey, let's throw some old body parts... Front page news. Oh, yeah. And the Olympics are on NBC. Tune in.
Jimbos
Big CatTo win over a girl on a first date, be as dumb and awful as possible
Spin Zone, girls love a challenge. So if you're going on a first date, try to fuck up and be as dumb and awful as you can be. Because then they're going to say, whoa, look at this wild horse. I want to tame him and bring him into the bar. Learn that one from every Judd Apatow rom-com.
