Will Levis on Mayo, KSR Takeover, and the LIV Golf Circus

The New York Rangers are officially on a heater, and Big Cat is riding the wave. With the Rangers one game away from the Stanley Cup Final, the vibes in the studio are shifting toward a potential New York versus Colorado showdown. Big Cat is already leaning into the destiny narrative for the Blueshirts, even if they get outplayed for long stretches of time.

The New York Rangers are the team of destiny

The New York Rangers are one game away from the Stanley Cup final let's go. Congratulations. New York. I just got vibes right now coming from New York Rangers. They feel like the team of destiny. They got the hottest goaltender in the planet.

The Rangers were up 2-0 against the Lightning in the Eastern Conference Finals but proceeded to lose four straight games, failing to reach the Stanley Cup Final.

While the Rangers are surging, the Edmonton Oilers are packing their bags after getting swept by the Avalanche. It was arguably the most entertaining four-game sweep in the history of the sport, mostly because Mike Smith is the Jamis Winston of goaltenders. Big Cat isn't hiding his expectations for Colorado moving forward, noting that anything less than a parade is a massive failure.

The 2022 Avalanche-Oilers series was the best four-game sweep in NHL history

That was the best four game series that I've ever seen. Well, the Edmonton Oilers played the best five game series beforehand. It's crazy how good those games were. A couple of them... there were so many exciting games, but unfortunately we only got four games worth out of it.

Subjective opinion on the quality of a series.

It's a huge disappointment if the Avalanche don't win the Stanley Cup now

The Avalanche looked like the best team. Like if they don't win it now that's would, that's a big disappointment, big disappointment, huge disappointment.

The Colorado Avalanche went on to win the Stanley Cup, defeating the Lightning in the Finals.

Speaking of hockey, the guys pointed out a devastating reality for our neighbors to the north. Canada’s Stanley Cup drought is so severe that it has birthed one of the most disrespectful statistics in professional sports.

The 1995 Baltimore Stallions winning a Grey Cup more recently than a Canadian team winning a Stanley Cup is the craziest stat in sports

America has won a [Grey Cup] more recently than Canada has won a Stanley Cup. We don't have a team in the CFL anymore. We haven't had a team in the CFL for 25 plus years, but that's a crazy stat that Canada, the last cup they won, I think it was 93 Montreal, the 95 Baltimore Stallions won a [Grey Cup] more recently than they did win a Stanley Cup.

The Baltimore Stallions won the Grey Cup in 1995. No Canadian NHL team has won the Stanley Cup since the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.

LIV Golf and Team Names from a Second Grader

The LIV Golf Tour is officially happening, and the guys are trying to wrap their heads around the branding. From the "Niblicks" to the "Majesticks," it feels like the Saudi-backed league let a group of eight-year-olds name their franchises. Big Cat thinks the league needs to go even further with the gimmick to actually get people to watch.

LIV Golf should make the holes on the green larger to attract more eyeballs to the sport

I think that they're going to do something. That'll make the scoring a lot lower because they need to, you know, they need to attract eyeballs... make the courses easy. You make the holes a little bit bigger. I'm telling you place. Make the holes bigger though. Yeah, that'd be sick.

A satirical recommendation for a league's marketing strategy.

Hot Seat/Cool Throne

Hank put umpires on the hot seat after a brutal call in the Maryland regional, but Big Cat actually defended the boys in blue by citing a technicality in the three-foot channel rule. Meanwhile, PFT used the segment to address the mounting civil suits against Deshaun Watson, suggesting the NFL needs to step in before the season starts.

Deshaun Watson should not be allowed to play in 2022 until the civil suits are resolved

I'm about ready to say, like I've seen enough and that I feel like Deshaun Watson should not be allowed to play this year until, until they figure out what's going to happen with the civil suits, because this is now 24 women. And with like strikingly similar details about what's happening.

Watson was eventually suspended for 11 games, so he did play during the 2022 season, albeit missing the majority of it.

Hank also warned the world about the new iOS 16 features. While being able to edit or unsend a text sounds great in theory, it’s a terrifying development for anyone involved in a toxic group chat or a complicated relationship.

The new iMessage 'undo send' feature will empower gaslighters

The iMessage app in iOS 16 is getting a new undo send feature as well as the ability to edit chats. You've already sent in. Mark threads is unread. So rip to all the young people out there who are going to be getting gaslighted or say, like, I never said that.

The feature was indeed widely discussed for its potential to alter digital footprints and create confusion in interpersonal arguments.

Kentucky Sports Radio Takeover

It is the best day of the year: the annual PMT takeover of KSR. The guys opened by immediately ending the debate over John Calipari’s future. Instead of the hot seat, the guys are demanding a massive extension to ensure Cal is recruiting one-year-olds for the next two decades.

Coach John Calipari should receive a 17-year contract extension

Instead of is coach Calipari on the hot seat, it's how many years should we extend him? Because right now, right now, coach Cal has seven lane duck years. You're staring right in the face of it seven years where he does, he might, how can you recruit? Let's get him 10 more years on top of that.

Hot TakeCBBScorchingSarcastic
Calipari did not receive a 17-year extension; he eventually left Kentucky for Arkansas in 2024.

They were joined by Kentucky’s starting quarterback, Will Levis, who has already won over the show with his bizarre eating habits. Levis is lean, mean, and fueled by putting mayonnaise in his coffee and eating bananas with the peel still on. He’s leaning into his role as the D1 version of Billy Football and setting the bar high for the 2022 season.

Mayonnaise is undeniably a top 3 condiment

Undeniably a top three condiment. So versatile. And I it's just people against big Mayo, but I'm going to stand behind the movement and stay strong with my position on the subject. We've made sure to kind of find a plan that allows me to have Mayo in my diet as frequently as I can.

Condiment rankings are inherently subjective.

Kentucky's goal and expectation is an SEC Championship in 2022

That's, that's the goal. That's, that's what our hearts are set on. And that's what's been established from day one of the off season. I'm definitely going to be stepping in and making sure that I'm the guy for the team.

Kentucky finished the 2022 season 7-6 (3-5 in the SEC) and did not qualify for the SEC Championship game.

The takeover also featured legendary callers like Harvey, who talks to crows and reads the spiritual energy of plants, and Edy, who tried to pitch the guys on "psycho kitty" NFTs and meta-verse horse racing.

Guys on Chicks

The show wrapped up with the return of Guys on Chicks, featuring a listener whose boyfriend refuses to use a bank account and instead hides a "wad of cash" somewhere in the house. Big Cat thinks having cash on hand is the ultimate way to execute high-level moves in public.

Big CatBig Cat

Tipping a doorman for just doing their job is a high-level power move

What a great power move is too. If you're out with friends, if you have cash on you, you can always like, you can tip someone. That's not usually tipped right in front of other people. And then they're like, wow, that's a, that's a great move. What a class act? What about city money? Yeah, exactly. Like you tip, you tip a doorman just for doing their job.

Subjective opinion on social status and power moves.

The segment ended with a debate over sleeping arrangements. PFT and Big Cat laid down the law on who gets which side of the bed, specifically regarding bathroom access and the permanence of the decision.

Void
PFT CommenterPFT Commenter

The person who wakes up earliest should sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door

The answer should always be that the person that has to wake up first in the morning, they sleep closer to the door. So you don't have to like walk around the other person.

This is a subjective matter of relationship etiquette.

Big CatBig Cat

You are not allowed to switch which side of the bed you sleep on unless you move to a new house

I also think you can't switch until you move. Like you can't switch in the house that you've been sleeping. If you have a side that you've been sleeping on, the opportunity to switch is when you move, correct. You cannot switch like just one day switch. That's crazy.

Subjective lifestyle rule.

If you're ever in a Shrek-themed bedroom, just remember to stay in character until the job is done.

Will Levis is a future number one overall pick

Starting quarterback for the Kentucky Wildcats, Will Levis. Awesome interview with him. Number one pick, future number one pick.

Will Levis was not selected number one overall; he was drafted in the second round (33rd overall) by the Tennessee Titans in the 2023 NFL Draft.

The 2022 College Football Playoff field will be Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, and Clemson

I was talking to people the other day and they were like, what, who do you think is going to be like the top four going into the pre-season next year? I was just off the top of my head, Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson... Georgia, Georgia, they've gotten a lot of transfers and they've gotten some talent.

The 2022-23 CFP consisted of Georgia, TCU, Michigan, and Ohio State. Big Cat correctly identified 2 of the 4 (Georgia and OSU), but Clemson and Alabama both missed.

Patrick Mahomes is already underpaid

When I first saw this, I thought like, Patrick Mahomes is already kind of underpaid. Oh yeah. So he signed that $500 million contract. What, two, three years ago. And it's crazy to say with a $500 million contract, but if you look at what the other big money being spent around the league is going to right now, it's like, you could very much make the argument that Patrick Mahomes should not have signed that deal.

Subsequent contracts for Burrow, Herbert, and Jackson surpassed Mahomes in annual average value, making his deal look better and better for the team.

Shiba Inu cryptocurrency will eventually go back up

I get them to get back on the Shiba Inu train, man. I mean, it's last summer. I think he got some hype earlier this year, but it's always going to come back up. Stocking crypto only goes up as we all know, you're gonna, you're gonna make a lot of money.

Shiba Inu significantly lost value following the 2021-2022 crypto peak and never returned to its previous highs, with the broader 'memecoin' market cooling significantly.
