From the podcast that brought you a strong anti-Nazi stance we're here to tell you why the solar eclipse is chump. All the football coaches in America and the football guy's guys don't have time for a little Sun Shade ( - ). In honor of the solar eclipse we do the Mt Rushmore of things we dont really understand ( - ). Who's back of the week including illegal streams that wreck your computer in advance of the Mayweather/McGregor fight ( - ). Michael Rapaport joins the show to talk about his new fantasy podcast, the time he was in Sully, an update on the cat problem in his yard, and also that time he was in Sully ( - ). Segments include Thoughts and Prayers to MLB Umps, Bad Visual for the Jets in general, Protect the NBA Shield for Magic Johnson tampering, Talking Thrones* (*SPOILER ALERTS*), and Not to brag but we really called it for Aaron Judge sucking now.

I would give away five to ten years of my life to guarantee Wi-Fi on every plane flight.

Nothing worse in the world than being on a plane with no Wi-Fi and no TVs. I would give away five to ten years of my life to make sure that I had Wi-Fi on a plane all the time.

Subjective value judgment on the worth of one's own lifespan vs. internet access.

I almost got a tattoo of Javier Baez on the back of my neck after seeing his slide against the Blue Jays.

Javi Baez had such a good slide for the Cubs to win an extra inning... In that time, I almost got myself an El Mago tattoo. ... Maybe on the back of my neck like his MLB tattoo.

Big Cat did not actually get an El Mago neck tattoo.

Millennials aren't less interested in breasts; they just don't need to Google photos of them because they are actually having sex.

It's because millennials aren't Googling boobs. Pictures of boobs. Yeah, because we have sex. We see it. ... Of course it's going to be baby boomers and old people who, when they're looking for porn online, they just type in pictures of boobs.

This is a sociological theory offered as a comedic rebuttal; it's inherently subjective.

Pumpkin Spice is officially back because stores are already displaying it in August.

My first who's back of the week is Pumpkin Spice. ... Walking to a grocery store, walking to any type of store, you will see ... It's just who's back of the week. And who's back of the week is pumpkin spice.

Seasonal marketing for Pumpkin Spice products does indeed begin in mid-to-late August.

Blake Bortles will not be the starting quarterback for the Jaguars by Week 8.

Blake Bortles is a fucking fantasy football and real life fantasy and real life football disappointment... He's not going to be starting by week eight. All right. I predict week eight. No injury. Bye-bye.

Bortles remained the starter for the entire 2017 season and led the Jaguars to the AFC Championship game.

The Bears have signed enough mediocre quarterbacks that no one can realistically claim they should have signed Colin Kaepernick.

Because they stupidly spent so much money on Mike Glennon, too. We got too many quarters. We got Mark Sanchez. ... The Bears basically gave themselves a buffer against Colin Kaepernick. They're like, if we sign enough mediocre quarterbacks, no one can say, hey, the Bears should have signed Colin Kaepernick.

This is a political/strategic analysis of roster moves that cannot be objectively proven true or false.

LeBron James is definitely going to the Lakers next year.

[Big Cat]: Where do you think [LeBron] is going? [PFT Commenter]: LA. [Michael Rapaport]: If you're a little pussy-ass bitch, you go to LA. ... Lakers. It's already set up.

LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in July 2018.

James Harden and Chris Paul will not be able to get along on the Rockets because there is only one ball.

There's only one ball. No, only one ball. Only one ball. It's not going to work. No. No, only one ball. They're not winning shit. No. Houston ain't winning shit.

The Harden/Paul pairing was elite in their first year, winning 65 games and taking the Warriors to 7 games in the Western Conference Finals. They eventually flamed out, but they 'got along' well enough for immediate success.

Mike Tomlin is not a true 'Football Guy' because he is always looking for the camera.

I actually disagree on Mike Tomlin. I do not think Mike Tomlin is a football guy. Because Mike Tomlin always knows where the camera is. He always is looking for the camera, doing pointing shit. That's not a football guy.

Whether someone is a 'Football Guy' is a subjective PMT-specific label.

Major League Baseball should arm umpires with tasers to defend themselves against players.

What if we just gave tasers to umps? Oh my god. Yes, let's arm umpires. Yes. I'm 100% on board with arming umpires. ... We need to start arming them so they can defend themselves.

This is a satirical policy proposal that has not been implemented.

Aaron Judge's 37-game strikeout streak is linked to the 37 pinstripes on the Yankees uniform.

He struck out 37 consecutive games in a row. ... There are 37 pinstripes on the Yankee uniform. ... Illuminati. So just grab a screen grab of his uniform and then just make a triangle in red.

Fact ClaimBaseballMediumSarcastic
The number of pinstripes varies by uniform size and manufacturer, and Judge's streak was a coincidence.
