Samuel L. Jackson on Shaft, the Warriors' Collapse, and Dodgeball Oppression
The St. Louis Blues were one game away from glory, but the St. Louis Dispatch decided to play God and run a championship ad before Game 6 even started. Big Cat and PFT couldn't believe the jinx potential, especially after Jon Hamm decided to shave his playoff beard right when the stakes were highest. It’s a violation of the highest order.
PFT CommenterThe St. Louis Dispatch's leaked 'championship' ad is more embarrassing than the mistake itself
I don't really blame the St. Louis Dispatch because they do have to be prepared. But to get that leaked is the big issue here. I think what happened was they were trying to sell ads... and then somebody took a picture of that email and sent it out.
Big CatSports fans are forbidden from shaving their beards during a deep playoff run
If you're a sports fan and you're a fan of your hockey team and they're in fucking Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final and you have a beard, you cannot shave it. I don't care if you're superstitious.
The Death of a Dynasty
Turning to the NBA, the Golden State Warriors are staring down a 3-1 deficit against a Toronto Raptors team that looks absolutely unstoppable. Big Cat pointed out that when a dynasty ends, it usually doesn't end with a heroic stand; it ends because you keep waiting for the old version of the team to show up, and they just don't.
Big CatDynasties end with a whimper, and the Warriors are currently in that stage
Whenever a dynasty ends, you just sit there being like... Oh, they're going to turn it on. It's going to happen. And it just doesn't. History shows that it's probably more likely the Raptors will finish them off on Monday night.
Kawhi Leonard is playing like an alien, and even the potential return of Kevin Durant feels like it might be too little, too late. PFT has officially joined the conspiracy theorist ranks regarding KD’s injury, suspecting the "calf strain" might be something much heavier.
PFT CommenterKevin Durant's 'calf' injury is actually a secret Achilles injury
I'm definitely an Achilles Cav truther now at this point. Because I think that if the injury was as minimal as they made it seem at first, he would have at least tried to play by now.
Big CatKevin Durant will play in Game 5 and it will result in absolute chaos
I think [Durant] will play on Monday night. I really do. And it will be chaos. And it's perfect because this is like the Warriors' entire season in a microcosm.
Samuel L. Jackson: The G.O.A.T. Cursor
The man who has appeared in over 150 movies joined the show to talk about the new *Shaft* and his legendary career. Samuel L. Jackson is the undisputed king of on-screen cool, but he was quick to distinguish between being "cool" and being a "badass."
Samuel L. JacksonThere is a distinct difference between being cool and being a badass
Jules is cool... He has bad motherfucker on his wallet, but he's essentially very cool. He's lethal and dangerous as all hell. Kind of like Ordell is a bad motherfucker. He's not cool because he's kind of corny and he dresses kind of wack and his hair ain't all the way there. But he will fuck you up.
Beyond his filmography, the guys hit on Samuel L.’s incredible social media presence. From his refusal to use spaces in hashtags to his aggressive sports tweeting, the man is a titan of the internet. He even walked through the sheer versatility of his favorite word, proving why nobody does it better.
Samuel L. JacksonMotherfucker is the most versatile word in the English language
My favorite curse word is probably motherfucker, yeah. Because I use it for a lot of different things... You can mother fuck somebody if you're mad. Or you can describe a person as, you know the motherfucker I'm talking about. Or you can say, oh man, that shit's a motherfucker, meaning it's really great shit.
While the rest of the world is just getting used to the Raptors being good, Samuel L. Jackson has been on the bandwagon since the days of Oliver Miller and the purple dinosaur jerseys.
Samuel L. JacksonI've been a Raptors fan since their inaugural season in 1995
I'm a Raptors fan because I was shooting Long Kiss Goodnight the first year the Raptors started in Toronto... I was there on the floor when, you know, they started with Oliver Miller and all those guys... I've been a Raptor fan since they started.
Tale of the Tape and Monday Reading
The episode wrapped with a look at the bizarre potential fight between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise. Hank is bizarrely backing the Biebs, while Big Cat is taking the guy who literally hangs off airplanes for fun.
Big CatTom Cruise would murder Justin Bieber in a fight
I still think Tom Cruise would kick his ass. Tom Cruise would murder him. Dude, he does all his own stunts. Hanging outside of a helicopter at Mission Impossible. Yes, that's him.
HankTom Cruise is washed up and would lose to Justin Bieber
Bebs is a beast. He's in the prime of his career right now. And Tom Cruise is washed up.
Finally, the guys tackled a *Washington Post* article claiming that dodgeball is a tool of "oppression." Big Cat wasn't buying the academic breakdown of gym class, arguing that school should be the one place you're actually allowed to chuck things at your friends without a lecture on dehumanization.
Big CatDodgeball is a great game and researchers shouldn't overthink its 'oppressive' nature
I kind of disagree with [the research]. I feel like physical education should just be like, play a bunch of shitty games, don't have to be in class for an hour, and don't overthink it. It's just a game that you just fucking pass the time with when you're shitty gym teachers like here just throw balls at each other.
PFT took it a step further, noting that his real-world education in math didn't come from a textbook or a lecture hall, but from the more practical applications of life on the streets.
PFT CommenterLife skills like gambling and buying weed teach more math than school classes
I've learned 50 times as much math from gambling and smoking weed and buying weed than I ever did in any sort of math class.
If the Bruins lose Game 7, Hank's feet might be the only thing left to pay the bills.
