PFT Detained by FBI, Scott Zolak, and Mason Ramsey
Super Bowl week in Atlanta is already peaking, and we haven't even reached the weekend. Big Cat and PFT are coming to you from the back of a conversion van, the only proper way to record during the biggest week of the year. The energy is high, the stakes are higher, and PFT is officially a person of interest to the federal government.
PFT’s Run-In With the Feds
PFT spent his opening night in Atlanta doing what he does best: sneaking into places he isn't supposed to be with a Fugazi media credential. While he managed to get some face time with Todd Gurley to ask about his delayed feline acquisitions, the NFL security eventually caught on. PFT didn't just get the boot; he got a full-blown interrogation from a duo that produced an FBI badge with a cinematic flourish.
PFT CommenterI was legally arrested at Super Bowl Opening Night
According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, the definition of arrest is to take or keep in custody by authority of law. Boom. I was arrested.
Before he was hauled off to the dungeon, PFT managed to track down Sean McVay. If you remember the van episode from the summer, McVay basically promised the guys a suite if the Rams made the big game. PFT tried to collect, but Big Cat has a different plan for those tickets if they actually materialize.
Big CatIf the Rams give us Super Bowl tickets, we should burn them in protest
If Sean McVay gives us two sweet tickets, we're just going to burn them... Protest... if he wins the Super Bowl, he will be in the giving mood. And he'll be like, you know what? Let's give these guys a ring. And then we sell it. Then we buy Super Bowl tickets next year and burn those.
LeBron, Tampering, and the Hot Seat
Hot Seat/Cool Throne was dominated by the NBA trade deadline drama. Big Cat is absolutely convinced that LeBron James and Rich Paul are orchestrating the Anthony Davis trade request with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. The timeline of dinners and agency connections is too much for Big Cat to ignore, and he's already putting a massive asterisk on the Lakers' future.
Big CatLeBron James clearly tampered with Anthony Davis
Anthony Davis and LeBron James had dinner together. Wouldn't that seem kind of perfect that they waited about a month after their dinner for Anthony Davis to demand a trade? ... LeBron James probably doesn't have to pay an agent's fee. He probably owns part of Clutch Sports. And guess what? Anthony Davis is going to go to the Los Angeles Lakers... LeBron James completely tampered here.
PFT took a more pragmatic view of the situation. In a league where everyone is trying to build the next superteam, playing by the rules is just a recipe for losing.
PFT CommenterYou have to be a world-class dumbass not to tamper in the NBA
I would say that you'd have to be a world-class dumbass not to tamper in the NBA. If you're not tampering, you are dumber than a pile of rocks.
Scott Zolak: The Belichick Whisperer
Recurring guest and Patriots radio analyst Scott Zolak joined the show to give his annual state of the union on the New England dynasty. Zolak is the most electric guest on the planet, and he brought some incredible insight into the Brady-Belichick dynamic. He shared the story of the last text he received from Tom, which involved a dropped microphone and some rare swearing from the GOAT. Despite the constant talk of retirement, Zolak thinks we are still a few years away from the end of the road.
Scott ZolakTom Brady will play for 2 to 3 more years
I think, you know, if you asked me last year, I could see forward at one year... I think it's a kumbaya period where Bill's happy, Tom's happy... That fucker's having fun, and I think he wants to continue to have fun. So two to three years.
Zolak also shared a legendary story about telling Jon Bon Jovi to stop experimenting with his sound and just give the people what they want. It’s a philosophy that applies to football and life: don't overthink it, just play the hits.
Scott ZolakMusical artists like Bon Jovi should only play the hits and not new stuff
John [Bon Jovi]'s like, what do you think of the new stuff? And I'm like, what new stuff? ... I tell people this all the time. Play the hits. Give the people what they want. You get on a treadmill. I don't want to listen to new stuff.
The Yodel Boy and The Bachelor
In a wild pivot, Mason Ramsey—the viral yodeling kid from Walmart—hopped on the bus. He’s 12 years old, he’s not allowed to dab anymore, and he’s arguably cooler than Big Cat and PFT combined. He’s a massive basketball fan with some surprisingly sharp takes on the Eastern Conference.
Mason RamseyThe Brooklyn Nets are improved and will make the playoffs
An okay team, but last year they had a few issues, is the Brooklyn Nets. I think they've improved a lot this year. And if they keep doing well, they should be able to make the playoffs.
To wrap things up, the guys hit a little Bachelor talk for the guys who definitely don't watch the show but somehow know everything that happened. PFT has been doing some investigative journalism into Colton’s background and has officially called a “stay woke” on the central premise of this season.
PFT CommenterColton Underwood from The Bachelor is not actually a virgin
I received corroborating evidence in the form of a screenshot from someone's camera roll showing that they had that Snapchat that Colton sent back in 2014... I think that dick's been soaked before.
If you see PFT in a mugshot this week, just know he did it for the listeners.
