Max Homa on Genesis Win, Arian Foster's Conspiracy Theories, and Top Shot Riches
Big Cat and PFT are opening up the wallets because the next big thing is here: NBA Top Shot. While Big Cat admitted he usually arrives at the party right as the cops are showing up, the potential to make millions off digital highlight clips is too tempting to pass up. PFT is already five hundred dollars deep into an Alex Caruso block, and the energy in the office is reaching a fever pitch.
PFT CommenterWe are the first of the suckers on Top Shot, but we can still get rich.
I think we're the first of the suckers. So sometimes we can get in and we'll be a little bit sucker, we'll be less suckery than the majority of people, but we're still like the first sucker. I think we can still get rich off this, though, because I bought the most pristine mint condition gift of Alex Caruso blocking James Harden.
Big Cat isn't just looking for random highlights, though. He’s looking to corner the market on specific players to ensure he’s the one holding the keys when the value skyrockets.
Big CatI'm going to corner the market on Lou Dort Top Shots and get rich when he wins MVP
My entire investment strategy is to corner the market on Lou Dort. Okay. So I'm putting everyone in the Dortcher chamber. We're going to buy all the L...
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hank leads off Hot Seat with Oklahoma football after a video surfaced of a placeholder getting absolutely dismantled in a bar fight. The guys noted several red flags the player should have spotted, most notably the "wrestler hair" and the terrifying confidence of his opponent.
Big CatIf a guy has cauliflower ears, stay far away from him.
That's the oldest rule in the book. If a guy has cauliflower ears, stay far away.
PFT has Jeff Bezos on the Hot Seat as rumors swirl about the Amazon founder's interest in buying the Washington Football Team. While Dan Snyder has said he won't sell, PFT thinks the rest of the league might make that decision for him if the price tag gets high enough.
PFT CommenterIf Jeff Bezos bids $7 billion for the Washington Football Team, the other NFL owners will force Dan Snyder out
If Jeff Bezos, who is the richest man in the world, wants to pay like six, seven billion dollars for an NFL franchise, if Dan Snyder doesn't want to s...
Big Cat wrapped up the segment with a heavy heart, announcing the official end of the podcasting bubble. If the former President and The Boss are teaming up for a show, there is simply nowhere left for the medium to go.
Big CatBarack Obama and Bruce Springsteen starting a podcast together is the end of the podcast bubble.
Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen have a podcast. I think this is the end of – I think this is the end of the bubble. If five years ago I asked you what would be the apex of podcasting, I think it'd be Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen doing a podcast.
Max Homa on the Genesis Win
Fresh off his victory at Riviera, Max Homa joined the show to discuss the surreal experience of having his hero, Tiger Woods, hand him a trophy just minutes after Max nearly choked the tournament away on the 18th green. Max admitted that the embarrassment of missing a short putt in front of Tiger was real, but he had a strategy ready in case he lost the playoff.
Max HomaA golfer who chokes should immediately become a sports tout on Twitter to distract fans from their failure.
Just become like the sports better guy on Twitter. Be like, 'Oh, I love the Nets plus-minus six and a half tonight. It's a lock of the century. Five-star play.' Just become a sports tout because then every bet that you miss, that's what people are talking about... Everyone forgets about the fact that you missed that putt.
Max is playing the best golf of his life, and with the win, he’s officially punched his ticket to the Masters. While Big Cat is busy setting the bar as low as possible for his friend, Max is starting to believe the Green Jacket isn't out of reach.
Max HomaI can win the Masters this year
I think I have a better chance than I did last year... I think we're climbing. We're definitely trending... I can win the Masters. It's definitely pos...
Sports Conspiracy Mount Rushmore with Arian Foster
To celebrate the launch of Macrodosing, Arian Foster joined Big Cat, PFT, and the office to draft the best sports conspiracy theories. PFT went right for the jugular with the Red Sox legend's most iconic moment.
PFT CommenterThe blood on Curt Schilling's sock in the 2004 ALCS was fake paint
My conspiracy is the Curt Schilling sock because there's actually some smoke to that. There's some evidence that the blood on the sock was not actually blood... I do think that it's a shitload of paint that got put back there to make Curt Schilling look like he was pitching his absolute balls off.
Arian brought the heavy hitters, diving into the lore surrounding Michael Jordan's first retirement. The theory that MJ was actually serving a secret suspension for his "competition problem" remains one of the most debated topics in sports history.
Arian FosterMichael Jordan was suspended for gambling in 1993 and the league kept it under wraps
The reason why he retired originally in 93 was because he got suspended for gambling... I heard how this conspiracy goes is that they actually suspended him, but they just kept it under wraps because it would have been bad for the league.
Hank and Billy Football rounded out the draft with some classics. Hank went with the legendary Cal Ripken/Kevin Costner power outage theory, while Billy dug into the logistics of the Super Bowl XLVII blackout.
HankThe Orioles orchestrated a power outage to keep Cal Ripken's consecutive games streak alive because he had been in a fight with Kevin Costner.
My conspiracy theory... Cal Ripken, in the middle of his streak, got in a fight with Kevin Costner, wasn't going to be able to play because Kevin Costner was hooking up with his wife, and the Orioles said there was a power outage and canceled the game to keep the streak alive.
Billy FootballThe NFL staged the Super Bowl XLVII blackout to help the 49ers get back in the game because television viewership was tapering off.
I'm taking the blackout Super Bowl between the Harbaugh's... that it was a blowout, and the NFL wanted to give some more time to get the 49ers back in the game... All of the dress rehearsals by Beyonce, it took that exact same amount of power. The lighting was tested time and time again... So for them to say like, 'Oh, we didn't know it was going to draw this much power,' that was like one of the reasons.
Big Cat closed out the draft by looking internationally to the 1998 World Cup. He highlighted the strange circumstances surrounding the Brazilian Ronaldo's health and the massive corporate interests that might have forced him onto the pitch.
Big CatNike forced Ronaldo to play in the 1998 World Cup final after he suffered a seizure because they had invested too much in him as an athlete.
Ronaldo... had a seizure out of nowhere right before the final... Some people think that he was drugged. But then... there's a conspiracy theory that Nike, because they had invested so much in Brazil, the Brazilian team and Ronaldo as Nike athletes, that Nike forced him to play even though he was like less than 24 hours after a seizure. And Nike basically stepped in and was like, 'He has to play no matter what.'
We'll see you all on Friday, hopefully with a few more Lou Dort highlights in the digital vault.
