Max Homa on his first Masters, Golf Etiquette, and Big Ben's Ailments
Big Cat and PFT are gearing up for a November Masters by officially welcoming Max Homa into the circle of trust. While Brooks Koepka is still our guy, the guys are adding Max to the very short list of golfers they’re actually rooting for at Augusta. Before getting into the greens, they had to address the absolute slugfest that was Monday Night Football. Joe Flacco looked like an elite spiral-throwing machine in a classic Jets loss to the Patriots. Hank is fully back on the bandwagon, claiming the Patriots are a team of destiny despite the mediocre record.
HankThe Patriots are playoff bound and good
The Patriots playoff bound playoff bound... They're good. It's a good they should have beat the bills. They should have beat the seahawks. They could it be the chiefs... I think they're going to go on a run.
Big Cat isn't quite as bullish on the rest of the league, admitting that Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are currently playing a different sport than everyone else. While the Steelers are undefeated, Big Cat remains skeptical about their longevity compared to the juggernaut in KC.
Big CatThe Chiefs are the only team in the NFL without a major flaw
I've come to the conclusion that it's the Chiefs and everyone else like every other team and I unfortunately I love the Steelers, but every other team has at least one flaw where you're like, I don't know. I don't really trust this and then the Chiefs don't.
Speaking of the Steelers, Big Ben Roethlisberger has reached peak drama queen status this week. After coming out in a walking boot on Sunday, he reportedly sustained injuries to both knees and then landed on the COVID protocol list as a close contact. Big Cat and PFT are convinced Ben is just a hypochondriac looking for an excuse to get out of class early.
Big CatBen Roethlisberger is a hypochondriac who convinces himself he has every injury imaginable
Big Ben [Roethlisberger] essentially now is like an elementary school kid who just wants to go home for the day... He's a hypochondriac. He just spends all his time like looking up his symptoms online. He put himself on the COVID list because he probably watched the news and saw the infection rate.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne featured a heated debate over the 76ers' new City Edition jerseys, which Hank describes as the worst thing to happen to the city of Philadelphia since the Santa Claus snowball incident. PFT also took aim at John Rahm’s viral water-skipping hole-in-one, suggesting some conspiracy theories behind the footage.
PFT CommenterJohn Rahm's viral skipping shot at the Masters might be doctored
John Rahm hit a shot that walked on water at Augusta... I think that the Masters needs some more Buzz around it because it's not being held at the traditional time. I think that maybe there might be some monkey business afoot here somebody who's better at the internet than me look at the footage and tell me if you think that it's doctored at all.
Max Homa then joins the show from Augusta, Georgia, where he is preparing for his first-ever Masters. Max is arguably the funniest golfer on the planet, which he admits is a low bar, but he fits right in with the guys. He breaks down the vibe of Magnolia Lane, the pimento cheese sandwiches, and whether he can actually put a Green Jacket on his back this Sunday.
Max HomaI can win the 2020 Masters
Can you win? That's a that's a great question. Yes would be answer one. Yeah. Yes, like literally and like technically I think I can. Oh, yeah, I mean that's the goal.
They also get into the weedier details of golf etiquette. Max explains the power dynamic between a pro and his caddy, revealing that he can basically blame his lifelong friend Joe for everything from a bad club selection to a literal trip and fall in the fairway.
Max HomaA professional golfer should be allowed to blame their caddy for literally anything, including tripping on the course
I could blame [my caddy] whenever I want... if you trip walking to the Tee Box you can be like, 'What the fuck dude? Why didn't you tell me that was there yesterday?' ... you can just blame your caddy. I do feel like he wins out a lot... but we can always blame him if I always listen to him.
As the conversation shifts to Bryson DeChambeau and his attempt to "break" Augusta with pure distance, Max weighs in on the equipment debate. Between Bryson's bulk and his massive driver, the guys are starting to think the physics of the game are being pushed to a point of no return.
Max HomaBryson DeChambeau's 48-inch driver is cheating
I've never even tried 48 inch driver, but I would be lying if I said Bryson's not making me like kind of considering... sounds like it's cheating. I think it's cheating. [Big Cat: We decided it is cheating.] I'm a third party so that's not you as the fans can decide.
Finally, Max explains the high stakes of the leaderboard. While winning is the obvious goal, there is a specific kind of hell reserved for the guy who finishes just one spot outside of the automatic invitation for next year.
Max HomaFinish 13th at the Masters is the worst possible outcome because you just miss out on the automatic invite back
13th place would suck here... because top 12 gets you into the next Masters. So there's another happy—I think I'd be really happy with 12th if it wasn't first.
To wrap things up, Guys on Chicks explores the high-level religious loopholes of anal sex and the secret world of male urination. Big Cat defends the honor of the "sit-down pee," especially when it's late at night and the effort of aiming feels like a Herculean task.
Big CatEvery man sits down to pee at home when they are tired or it's late at night
In between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., if I have to piss, I'll sit down because I'm grubby. I absolutely sit down. There's nothing to be ashamed of in sitting down if you're tired, plus it's like a little mini workout, you do a little squat.
Max Homa might not have a Green Jacket yet, but he's already won the most prestigious title in sports: Friend of the Program.
