Scottie Scheffler on Open Win, Mt. Rushmore of Severance, and Hulk Hogan
A truly heavy Friday episode begins with the news that our childhoods are officially over. Hulk Hogan has passed away at 71, marking the end of an era for anyone who grew up on vitamins, prayers, and leg drops. Big Cat and PFT reflected on the Hulkster's complicated legacy, acknowledging that while he was the face of 80s and 90s Americana, his life outside the ring was often a mess.
Big CatHulk Hogan was a significantly better professional wrestler than he was a person
Listen, we'll, we'll say it right now. Hulk Hogan. Significantly better professional wrestler than person.
PFT noted that regardless of the personal drama, Hogan was a global icon whose reach was unparalleled in the industry.
PFT CommenterHulk Hogan is one of the top American exports of all time
Maybe Top American export. The world knew who Hulk Hogan was.
The Not Top 100 List
Time Magazine released a list of the 100 most influential podcasts, and in a shocking twist, the world's most popular show was nowhere to be found. Big Cat and PFT were baffled by the exclusion of Joe Rogan, noting that regardless of how you feel about him, he's the biggest thing in the medium. Of course, the guys also noticed their own absence, losing out to the likes of "The Tennis Podcast" and a Gilmore Girls recap show.
Big CatIt is crazy that Time Magazine left Joe Rogan off their list of the 100 most influential podcasts
Joe Rogan not on the List, kind of crazy. Like Joe Rogan is the biggest podcast in the world. And he's like, he's in the news all the time... think about how many careers he started. It's fucking nuts.
Despite the snub from the mainstream media, the hosts know where their real loyalty lies. PFT made sure to shout out the true legends of the industry.
PFT CommenterThe 'AWL's are the best podcast listeners of all time
If you were to make a list of the 100 best podcast listeners of all time, the AWL is number one easy.
Training Camp Drama and the Book
Training camp is officially here, and it wouldn't be a Jets season without immediate panic. Justin Fields got carted off during practice with what was later revealed to be a dislocated toe. Memes was in absolute shambles, leading to a heated discussion about whether a toe injury is actually the "best" bad thing that can happen to a player.
PFT CommenterA toe is the best body part to injure if you have to pick one
I would say though that if you were to pick one body part on your body to be injured, it's probably your toe.
Big Cat and PFT also gave an update on the official PMT book. They've decided to structure it like a football game with four quarters and a halftime show featuring Red Panda. Big Cat admitted the process is moving along well, even if he still isn't a fan of the medium.
Big CatReading is dumb
I think that this book we're dumb and books are dumb reading's. Dumb.
Mt. Rushmore of Things You'd Want to be Severed For
Hank returned to the studio with a massive chip on his shoulder after the internet roasted his Instagram captions draft. The gloves were off for the Mt. Rushmore of things we'd want to be "severed" for—the ability to check out of your consciousness for the worst parts of life. The picks ranged from hangovers and traffic to Zach suggesting kidnapping. The guys also checked in on the show's longevity.
PFT CommenterPardon My Take will continue until one of the hosts develops a debilitating drug habit
I forget if it was you who said it or or or me, but we said that this podcast will go until one of us develops a debilitating drug habit.
Scottie Scheffler: Champion Golfer of the Year
Fresh off his win at the Open Championship, Scottie Scheffler joined the show to talk about the Claret Jug, his upcoming cameo in Happy Gilmore 2, and the insane run he's on. Scottie is as humble as they come, often deflecting praise toward his caddy, Ted Scott. He even addressed the comparisons to the GOAT.
Scottie SchefflerTiger Woods stands alone as the best golfer the world will ever see
Tiger stands alone in the game of golf... He was by far the best player that I think we'll ever see in our lifetimes.
Between the golf talk, Big Cat floated a theory about Scottie's son, Bennett, appearing much more aware than your average infant.
Big CatScottie Scheffler's son Bennett might be a 'Boss Baby' mastermind giving him golf tips
Is there a chance Bennett is a boss baby and he's actually giving you all the tips of the golf game? ... I saw the one where he was like, what? This is impressive. We do this every Sunday. He might be boss baby.
As a massive Dallas sports fan, Scottie was put in the hot seat regarding his priorities. He's winning majors at a historic clip, but the heart wants what it wants.
Scottie SchefflerI would trade one major championship for a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl
Gosh, I don't know. I would, I would trade one [major] for sure for a Super Bowl. Okay. I mean I've, I've been root for a Super Bowl for a long time as well.
To close the interview, the guys asked their favorite recurring question about whether Scottie is a better person or golfer. In a rare move, Scottie actually agreed with Big Cat's logic that his golf game is simply too high of a bar for his humanity to ever clear.
Scottie SchefflerI will never be a better person than I am a golfer
I definitely fall short as a person... I think that's shit. I mean, it's like... I would say I have plenty of room to improve on the person front and, and definitely plenty of room and room to improve as a golfer as well. [Big Cat: There's no way you'll ever be a better person than golfer]. Yeah, I think that's, that's a fair option.
Fyre Fest and Final Thoughts
The episode wrapped with Fyre Fest, where PFT revealed he might be dying from a brown recluse spider bite. Meanwhile, Big Cat is contemplating the end of his athletic career after a softball game left him so exhausted he had to pull the trigger. The guys also tried to console Memes about the Jets' quarterback situation, though Big Cat's "help" mostly involved insulting Justin Fields.
Big CatKirk Cousins is a significantly better quarterback than Justin Fields
Kirk Cousins is a better quarterback than Justin Fields, Memes. I'm just telling you like, that is a, your season might end up turning. That's where I'm trying to come from. Like that's a guy who you could maybe go a little bit further in the season.
Grit Week starts Monday, so get your lunch pails ready.
