Joey Chestnut on Legacy, Adam Schefter's Chocolate, and the Mt. Rushmore of Fun Facts
Big Cat, PFT, and the crew are coming at you remote from the Hamptons as they prepare for the Barstool Mini Golf tournament. The energy is high, the summer vibes are flowing, and the guys are obsessed with one thing: legacy. Kevin Durant sparked the conversation on Twitter, asking everyone what they did to improve their legacy today. Naturally, Big Cat and PFT have a definitive answer for anyone looking to bolster their standing in the sports world.
Big CatComing on Pardon My Take is the easiest way to add to your legacy
I would agree if you come on Pardon My Take you've added to your legacy. Boom. Just like that legacy complete.
Speaking of legacies, the guys take a look back at the NBA postseason and realize how quickly the narrative can shift. While most people talk about LeBron, the real legacy movement happened with some of the league's veterans during the playoffs.
Big CatChris Paul's performance in Game 7 against the Mavericks was a 'legacy game'
Chris Paul had a major, major legacy post... He had like 10 points in that game seven where they lost by 70. That was a legacy game.
The All-Star Snub and the Chocolate List
The sports calendar is in the dog days of summer, which means we’re stuck arguing about MLB All-Star selections. Albert Pujols making the game as a legacy addition didn't sit well with Big Cat, who thinks the spot should go to someone who can actually run to first base without a walker.
Big CatAlbert Pujols shouldn't be in the All-Star game because he 'fucking sucks' and can't even walk
Albert Pujols being in the home run Derby, which is a crock of shit. But I'm also at the point in my life where I, cause he fucking sucks. He can't even walk. Albert Pujols he's, he can't even walk. He shouldn't be in the all-stars. He made the all star game... taking a spot away from someone who could [actually hit].
PFT CommenterMLB might rig the Home Run Derby for Albert Pujols by giving him 'good balls'
I do think there's a pretty good chance that they might rig it for Albert Pujols. He might get the good balls.
While the baseball talk is heating up, the guys shift to the biggest story in the media world: the Adam Schefter profile in the Washington Post. The article revealed that the NFL insider spends roughly $16,000 a year on chocolate for his sources. Big Cat and PFT immediately call Schefty to find out why they aren't on the "Chocolate List." Schefter picks up and, in true insider fashion, delivers the breaking news that PMT is officially on the list for next year. Big Cat is quick to defend Schefter against the haters who are bothered by his success.
Big CatPeople want to tear down Adam Schefter's legacy because they hate winning
The other thing is always in life when someone has success and when someone wins, people want to tear him down. He's making reportedly $9 million a year. He gets every scoop. He has every contact. People hate that people hate winning. They want to tear down winners. They want to tear down Adam Schefter's legacy.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne and the Bears Are Back
During Hot Seat/Cool Throne, PFT is officially on the hot seat regarding his skepticism of the James Webb telescope. He’s not buying the "infinity" of outer space, claiming the trillion-dollar images look more like a dorm room decoration than the birth of a star.
PFT CommenterThe James Webb telescope images are fake and look like a lava lamp
Those images... are freaking me out... but that could also just be some fucking scientists lava lamp and they just send it out and they're like, check this out guys... I did see this picture and I just said that's fake.
On the Cool Throne, Big Cat is celebrating because the Chicago Bears are officially back. The acquisition of N'Keal Harry has the Windy City buzzing, at least in Big Cat’s mind, as Justin Fields finally has another first-round target to work with in the passing game.
Big CatN'Keal Harry will be a stud and a weapon for Justin Fields
My cool throne is the bears are back because we got N'Keal Harry who he's awesome... another weapon for Justin Fields. N'Keal Harry, he's going to be a stud he's first round draft pick.
Joey Chestnut: The Greatest American
Joey Chestnut joins the show fresh off another dominant victory at Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest. He breaks down the now-legendary headlock he put on a protester mid-contest, describing it as simple "food aggression." Joey was competing on a broken leg and still managed to smoke the field, proving that even at 38, he’s nowhere near the finish line of his career.
Joey ChestnutI can reach 90 hot dogs in 10 minutes if someone pushes me
The best way for me to get to 90 hot dogs would be somebody else eating 88... that's how you make some gains... the most I've ever eaten in in 10 minute practice is 82.
Joey ChestnutI will continue winning the Hot Dog Eating Contest until at least age 45
As long as I'm healthy, you can count me in at 40, 45 sounds would be awesome.
Joey also discusses his potential future as a free agent and the possibility of a legacy match against his old rival, Kobayashi. The guys even pitch a Rough N' Rowdy match that combines boxing and eating, which Joey seems surprisingly down for. Before he leaves, Joey sets his sights on a new goal: conquering the Raising Cane's menu.
Joey ChestnutI can eat 50 Raising Cane's chicken fingers in five minutes
I only get five minutes to eat. So I'm trying to get to get 50 [chicken fingers] down in the five minutes.
Mt. Rushmore of Fun Facts/Things People Forget
The show moves into a special "Pardon My Bake" session with Rone for the Mt. Rushmore of Fun Facts. Rone opens with a deep dive into the geopolitical strategy of Thai food, explaining how your favorite Pad Thai spot is actually a tool of international diplomacy.
RoneThai food is prevalent in America because of a soft power directive by the Thai government
Thai food is only prevalent in America because of a directive by the Thai government... in the early nineties [they] wanted to spread Thai culture as a form of soft power. And so there's Thai food all over completely disproportionate to the amount of Thai people in the United States.
Big Cat goes for the jugular with a fact that completely reevaluates one of the smartest minds in human history. After finding out Albert Einstein’s marital history, Big Cat is officially out on the theory of relativity.
Big CatAlbert Einstein is an idiot because he married his first cousin
Einstein. Smartest guy alive, fucking married his cousin. What a foe... he F fucked his cousin. That makes no sense... He's not that smart. In my opinion. He's an idiot... he was like, yeah, you're not this isn't too incestuous enough for me. I need some fucking [cousin].
Big CatThe US government stores 1.4 billion pounds of surplus cheese in caves in Missouri
There are just caves in America with cheese in them... 1.4 billion pounds of cheese... Springfield, Missouri... deep and converted Limestone mines caves kept perfectly at 36 degrees Fahrenheit store stockpiles... hundreds of feet below the ground.
As the draft winds down, PFT brings a heavy dose of Cold War skepticism to the table, questioning the legitimacy of the greatest moment in American hockey history. The guys end the episode with some rapid-fire facts from Lil Sasquatch, who makes his case for being the show's resident historian of rap terminology and fire-starting technology.
PFT CommenterThere is a good chance the 1980 Soviet hockey team threw the Miracle on Ice game for money
I was thinking what, there's probably a pretty good chance that, that Russian team threw the game. Right? Cause like they were, they were bigger, older, stronger professional hockey players... It wouldn't be above like corrupt Russians to take a shitload of money on the side.
Just remember, if you find yourself in Missouri, the cheese is waiting for you under the ground.
