NHL Playoffs, did the Caps kill the Penguins and the Lightning ( - ). Who's back of the week including gum chewing and Magic Johnson tweets ( - ). Scott Van Pelt joins the show from Augusta to talk about Tiger's 5 green jacket, the scene on Sunday, the comeback, and whether or not it's time for Tiger to "come home" (embrace the bald) ( - ).

Tiger Woods is officially back

The real story is Tiger Woods is officially back... He had that Tiger swagger.

Tiger Woods won the 2019 Masters, marking one of the greatest comebacks in sports history.

I was wrong about Tiger Woods never winning another major

Hand up, I never thought I'd see Tiger back in this spot. I was definitely in the camp of he'll be in it maybe a couple times, maybe flirt with one... but he'll never win another major. I was very wrong.

Tiger won the 2019 Masters, proving the prediction that he'd never win another major incorrect.

The 2019 Masters was a bad weekend for the Augusta National course

I don't think I root for the course anymore. The course got embarrassed. This was a bad weekend for the course. Yeah, low scores.

The winning score was -13, which is low but not the tournament record (-18).

Jimmy Butler screwed up the 76ers' chemistry

I think Jimmy Butler came in and screwed up the whole chemistry. That's what I think. Simmons can't shoot. It's so much easier to defend in the playoffs.

While they lost to the Raptors in a heartbreaker, Butler was arguably their best playoff performer. However, he left after the season, confirming some level of friction.

The Washington Capitals killed the Eastern Conference

Did the Washington Capitals kill the Eastern Conference? Not just the Penguins, who, by the way, they haven't won a game in the playoffs since the Caps beat them... Nor have the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Lightning were famously swept by Columbus in 2019 despite a record-breaking regular season. The Penguins were also swept by the Islanders.

The Olympics should be held every year in Las Vegas

They should do the Olympics every year... Just do it in Vegas every year. Because no city wants it. Just do it in Vegas every year.

The Olympics are still every four years (split winter/summer) and move cities.

Tiger Woods beating the athlete golfers he inspired (Koepka, DJ) is his most impressive feat

There's a whole wave of guys that he created, right? The guys that look like Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka that could be athletes in any sport... And they all kind of wanted to be him. And he beat all of them... when it's over, he wins.

Tiger did defeat Koepka and Johnson, who finished T2.

Francesco Molinari's Sunday collapse will be forgotten because Tiger Woods won

[Molinari] is the one guy that's going to walk away from this the most gutted because if he doesn't make a couple mistakes, then maybe it's him. [Big Cat: I think he's the luckiest guy... no one will remember it because it's Tiger]. SVP: I hadn't even considered that... that actually makes a ton of sense.

Molinari's collapse at 12 and 15 is indeed secondary to the legend of Tiger's 15th major in most retellings.

The Hound will defeat The Mountain in Game of Thrones

Do you think he's going to fight the mountain? Yes... Who do you think is going to win? Hound.

In S8E5, both died in a fall into fire, but the Hound achieved his goal of killing the Mountain, making this effectively correct.

Samwell Tarly will win the Iron Throne

I think Samwell Tarly is going to win the throne. They're going to do a 10-year show where it's like, hey, at the end of the day, nerds win.

Bran Stark won the throne; Samwell Tarly became Grand Maester.

Bran Stark will win the Iron Throne

I think Bran's going to win the throne. He's not a human anymore, though. He's a three-eyed raven. He'll fucking tell everyone about it.

Bran Stark was indeed chosen as King in the series finale.
