Luke Bryan on Country Hits, Woj's Suspension, and the Soup Tube Revolution
The internet remains a cesspool, and Big Cat and PFT are rightfully fed up. Between the Adrian Wojnarowski suspension and the endless cycle of "open letters" from people who think their signatures on a listserv change the world, the vibes are at an all-time low. Big Cat pointed out the massive hypocrisy of everyone yelling about China and the NBA while using devices built in the very places they’re criticizing.
Big CatEveryone on the internet is a hypocrite regarding China and the NBA
The reality is everybody in the world or at least in the United States right now is a huge fucking hypocrite and they're all narcs their loser because you know what? You know what I'm typing on right now. I'm typing on a computer. I'm typing on a phone that was probably assembled in communist China... It sucks.
As for Woj, PFT isn't worried about the ESPN suspension lasting long. He expects the king of news breaks to be back on the grind immediately because you simply can't keep a man from dropping bombs when the NBA bubble is about to get interesting.
PFT CommenterWoj will only be suspended for about 24 hours and will be back breaking news by Tuesday.
I think he's going to be suspended for like 24 hours. He's going to be back breaking news on Tuesday. Well, how can you suspend a person who's just like reporting news, right?
UFC 251 and the Problem with ESPN+
UFC Fight Island happened over the weekend, and while the fights were decent, the technical experience was a nightmare. Big Cat went on a legendary rant about the usability of ESPN+, which seems to require purchasing the same pay-per-view three times across four different devices just to get a blurry stream.
Big CatESPN+ is the worst app in the history of the world
My entire thoughts on the evening are fuck ESPN+. It's the worst app in the history of the world. Every time there's a fight, this is what happens every single time. I buy it on my phone. Doesn't work on my phone. I try to login on my computer. Doesn't work on my computer.
When the main event finally stayed on the screen, Kamaru Usman's victory over Jorge Masvidal left a lot to be desired. Specifically, the strategy of grinding a man’s toes into the canvas for twenty-five minutes didn't sit right with the guys.
Big CatKamaru Usman's foot-stomping strategy should be illegal in UFC
Who's Mondo foot-stomping. I mean that's just—that should be legal. It should be any it's more like just a pride thing dude, like beat someone without stopping their toes... It sucks.
Luke Bryan: The Simple Genius of Country Music
Luke Bryan joined the show to discuss his new album, *Born Here Live Here Die Here*, and his remarkably straightforward approach to songwriting. Big Cat praised Luke’s ability to name a song exactly what it's about, whether it's riding in trucks or drinking beer. Luke leaned into it, explaining that in country music, overcomplicating things is usually a mistake.
Luke BryanThe secret to successful country music is following the 'keep it simple stupid' rule and avoiding complex problems.
I think in country, you know, countries really good about keep it—there's a funny—it's almost like 'keep it simple stupid.' Keep it simple, have some fun... you don't really have to try to cure the world of all of its problems. One more margarita, two margaritas, three margaritas—who doesn't want to do that?
They discussed Luke's farm life, including a harrowing story about his wife being attacked by a turkey named Al who has a "bad reputation." Luke also dropped some vocal wisdom for the guys as they approach their late thirties.

I know that the male voice reaches full maturity. They say it 38 years old.
Who’s Back and Monday Reading
Who’s Back featured a existential crisis from Hank, who is convinced after watching viral videos that every object in his apartment might actually be a hyper-realistic cake. Big Cat agreed they look cool but pointed out the structural reality of these desserts.
Big CatThe hyper-realistic cakes seen in viral videos look amazing but definitely taste like shit.
I guarantee those cakes, they looked awesome, but I guarantee they taste like shit. Oh, yeah, because they have to use like the different sugar to make it like the hard sugar and stuff. It's a complete waste of cake.
Billy Football is also currently living in a horror movie after finding a bat in his barn-apartment. He's refusing to sleep until he catches it, fearing a rabies diagnosis and the subsequent stomach shots.
Billy FootballI need to catch a bat to test it for rabies so I don't have to get shots in my stomach
If I catch the bat then I can test the bat for rabies. So I don't have to get a bunch of shots in my stomach... I'm going to stay up all night to find this bat.
Finally, the show wrapped with a Monday Reading about "Soup Tube"—a business idea involving a city-wide infrastructure of pipes delivering hot soup directly into your kitchen. While the original poster’s girlfriend thought it was a sign of insanity, Big Cat is ready to liquidate his assets to get in on the ground floor.
Big CatThe 'Soup Tube' business idea is an absolute wave of the future
I would pay, I'd probably have like five or six different soup tubes installed in my kitchen right now... Out of the Monday readings we've done, Dave & Buster's guys is number one... Soup Tubes is number two... I would unironically purchase this.
If we can put a man on the moon, we can certainly pump clam chowder through a municipal grid. Stay safe from the bats.
