Real Bros Jimmy Tatro and Christian Pierce, Rick Pitino, NBA Draft, and Mt. Rushmore
The vibes are high and the brain cells are low as Big Cat and PFT return from Nashville barely alive. The NBA Draft took place while the guys were out of town, and the most notable takeaway wasn't the actual basketball, but the absolute chaos of the broadcast. PFT has reached his limit with how the league handles draft-day trades and the confusing graphics that come with them.
PFT CommenterThe NBA needs to fix how they announce draft-day trades
Do your fucking trades like a normal league. Correct. Do your trades normally don't... Announce them normally... Via, via via. No. Just put a different logo on there. I'm dumb. I can't understand. I I see the first team and then I'm like, oh, there logos everywhere. That must be who this player is getting picked by. Do it normally.
Between the confusing logistics and the two-day format, Big Cat is ready to call the experiment a failure. The NBA is trying to replicate the NFL Draft's scale, but it turns out the world just doesn't need 48 hours to process a class full of players most Americans didn't watch last year.
Big CatThe NBA should not have a two-day draft because they aren't the NFL
NBA I like it. I I love basketball. I I love the NBA. You're not the NFL. You don't get two days. Okay. Like the, the, the first round was already a bunch of French guys and people that we didn't watch play basketball last year. And now you're gonna make us do two days of this.
Max is actually excited about the Sixers' newest addition, Jared McCain, but he might be taking the optimism a step too far. After painting his nails white to match the newest Sixer, Max threw out a comparison that should probably be illegal this early in a career.
MaxJared McCain is the best shooter in the draft and the best shooter since Steph Curry
I like Jared McCain. I think he's good... he's the best shooter in the draft. He's the best shooter since Steph Curry. There have been two freshmen in NCA history with a 0.611 plus true shooting percentage, two hundred ten three-point attempts and 150 plus rebounds. And that's Jared McCain and Steph Curry.
Mount Rushmore of Hobbies That Become Your Personality
This week’s Mount Rushmore hit a little too close to home for some people in the room. Big Cat and PFT broke down the activities that don't just fill your free time, but consume your entire soul and social media presence. PFT started strong with CrossFit, noting that it’s less of an exercise program and more of a new language you use to describe your impending injuries.
PFT CommenterCrossFit is the ultimate hobby that consumes a person's life and language
CrossFit. It consumes your life. You have to start recruiting other people to go to CrossFit. You put stickers all over your cars, stickers on your laptops... The one that they, they speak in CrossFit language. Yeah. And they, they ask each other constantly. How'd you do on the workout of the day?
Big Cat followed up with the current heavyweight champion of personality-consuming hobbies: the Swifties. It's no longer just music; it's a lifestyle that involves decoding Easter eggs and defending Travis Kelce's honor in the comments section. Speaking of weird subcultures, Big Cat also highlighted the adults who refuse to leave the Magic Kingdom behind.
Big CatDisney Adults are the weirdest people in the world
Disney adults. They're the weirdest people in the, the world now... There's a lot of people out there that get married at Disney World. Yeah. Get propose at Disney World. Yeah. They dress up as Disney characters. And I actually think... Disney adults, their hobby becomes their personality traits because the rest of the world no longer accepts 'em.
One of the most contentious points of the draft involved the "dog parent" community. Big Cat has reached his limit with people who try to claim holiday honors reserved for actual humans.
Big CatWishing yourself a Happy Mother's Day or Father's Day for owning a dog is the craziest thing ever
When a person wishes themselves Happy Mother's or Father's Day when you have just a dog. That's the craziest thing I've ever fucking seen in my life. The craziest thing was actually our guy Tony P in DC... 'what Father's Day means to me as an aspiring father.' That one was a little too much.
Jimmy Tatro and Christian Pierce on Real Bros
Our good friends Jimmy Tatro and Christian Pierce joined the show in Nashville to talk about the new Real Bros of Simi Valley movie. They discussed the 15-year evolution of their writing partnership and the struggle of making a straight comedy in an era where every movie feels the need to be a deep, dark commentary on the human condition. Christian Pierce believes the pendulum is finally swinging back.
Christian PierceThe world needs straight comedy movies that aren't trying to be serious or deep
I see the movies coming out that are kind of comedies and I watch 'em. I feel like they're mid and lacking in comedy... When you put a comedy on, you drop your guard, right? Yeah. When you put on like The Hangover or some shit... And I'm ready to just immerse in this last year.
Naturally, the conversation turned to the Lakers and the impending Bronny James circus. As a diehard Clippers fan (mostly just a Lakers hater), Jimmy Tatro is worried about the precedent being set in Los Angeles.
Jimmy TatroThe Lakers shouldn't draft Bronny James just for the novelty
I just don't wanna be the team that drafts Bronny just for the novelty... I know, but you know, and it's, it'll be cool for like a game and then it's like, well fuck, did we just ruin our future just to have Bronny?
Before letting them go, Big Cat couldn't help but take a shot at his favorite target: Arizona basketball. Despite the "golden generation" talk, Big Cat isn't convinced the Wildcats are ever getting back to the mountaintop.
Big CatArizona basketball will never go back to a Final Four
Arizona like this. You guys are never gonna go back to a final four. So this is the [end]... I went to Wisconsin so we stopped two of those. Damn. Yeah. I don't hate many schools. I hate Wisconsin [too], but we had this debate a while ago.
KSR Takeover and Rick Pitino
The guys also hosted their annual Kentucky Sports Radio takeover, which featured a truly historic moment: the return of Rick Pitino to the Bluegrass airwaves. Coach Pitino was surprisingly open about his relationship with the UK fans and offered a full-throated endorsement of Mark Pope.
Rick PitinoMark Pope is an excellent teacher of basketball and will succeed at Kentucky
Mark Pope is, is a... excellent teacher of basketball. He also has, you know, He was also a terrific basketball player that got the maximum of his abilities because he gave it all... I think the fans are gonna fall in love with Mark. 'Cause the thing about him... It's always about team. It's always about Kentucky.
Pitino also gave a quick preview of his St. John's squad, promising a much faster and more athletic look than what fans saw in Year 1.
Rick PitinoSt. John's is much bigger and faster this season and I'm bullish on the team
Well, we're much bigger. We're 7-1, 7-foot, 6-10, 6-9... I have a young man from Utah, Deivon Smith, who is faster than, as fast, if not faster than Peyton Siva... I'm really bullish on this basketball team.
To wrap up the show, the guys recapped the Beer Games in Nashville. It was a day filled with Waka Flocka Flame, legendary offensive linemen, and Hank getting absolutely waterboarded in a pool. While Big Cat and Max proved to be elite chuggers, the hangover that followed in Cincinnati for the Joe Burrow interview was enough to make Hank retire from drinking for at least a week.
Get ready for a week of drinking beer and watching fireworks, just don't do it as a "dog dad."
