Daymond John on Shark Tank Secrets, FUBU, and Brain Investing
The playoff hunt is heating up, and Big Cat is already in a state of pre-emptive panic about the Green Bay Packers finding a way to sneak into the postseason. While the NFC is a total mess, PFT has shifted his focus to the AFC North, where he’s been spending way too much time on the ESPN Playoff Machine.
PFT CommenterThe Browns are going to make the playoffs
The Browns are going to make the playoffs. I'm looking at it too, and you know what season it is. It's playoff machine season on ESPN... I've been running the scenarios, crunching the numbers. They're not [the Packers] going to make the playoffs... But you know who is going to make the playoffs? The Browns.
Monday Night Football provided a grim look at the Minnesota Vikings, specifically the man they gave all the guaranteed money to this past offseason. Big Cat and PFT are officially out on the Kirk Cousins experience, noting that while he looks great in a uniform, the results on the field tell a different story.
PFT CommenterKirk Cousins is just Case Keenum in a tuxedo
Now, what he is, is Case Keenum in a tuxedo. He is the nicest looking version of Case Keenum that you can put together.
Big Cat pointed out that everyone actually saw this coming, yet the Vikings couldn't help themselves.
Big CatSigning Kirk Cousins was a bad idea that everyone predicted would fail
Kirk Cousins' signing was one of those things where everyone in the world was like, 'Hey, this is a bad idea.' To a man, everyone was like, 'Hey, this is a really bad idea.' But because of the NFL and how the quarterback position is played... anyone could be sucked in and talk themselves into saying Kirk Cousins.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
The guys touched on everything from MLS trophies getting lap dances in Atlanta to the tragedy of the Cardi B and Offset breakup. However, the real heat was reserved for the generational divide. Big Cat has officially identified the true enemy of the people, and it isn't the millennials.
Big CatGen Z is ruining the reputation of millennials
Gen Z should get more crap on the internet than millennials... Gen Z is 1995 to 2008... You guys are the ones who are actually fucking everything up because you guys are like the 18-year-olds, the bratty 18 to 22-year-olds... You're the ones who are fucking it up for the millennials. You're giving us a bad name.
On a more personal note, Big Cat provided an update on his physical therapy journey. After being told his entire body is essentially a series of structural failures, he’s doubling down on his fitness goals for the upcoming year.
Big Cat2019 will officially be the Year of the Core
2019 year of the core. The core helps, sets up everything else. So it's going to be back. My core wasn't ready for the workload that I put on it. [In] 2019, the core is going to be back.
Daymond John
Shark Tank legend Daymond John joined the show for an interview that felt more like a high-stakes board meeting. Big Cat and PFT immediately tried to sell him 15% of their collective brains for $5 million, eventually settling for a much more modest $50,000. Daymond shared some harsh truths about what happens to people who come into sudden wealth without a plan.
Daymond JohnMost professional athletes and lottery winners go bankrupt within three years of leaving the league or receiving the money
Athletes and lotto winners, they usually bankrupt three years either outside of leaving the league or receiving the money. And you can easily blow $20 million.
He also gave us the inside scoop on his fellow Sharks, revealing who actually strikes fear into the others when a deal is on the line. While Kevin O'Leary plays the villain, Daymond keeps his eyes on a different Shark.
Daymond JohnLori Greiner is the scariest Shark on Shark Tank
I'm always afraid of Lori. We're kind of in the same space of bringing consumer products to the market. And she has two platforms. She has a very strong platform with QVC. And she's also, if it's a woman-related product, she can be the face of it... I always have to have a tussle with Lori.
Daymond was surprisingly open about the reality of Shark Tank deals, explaining that the cameras don't always capture why a partnership falls apart months later.
Daymond JohnBuyer's remorse on Shark Tank deals usually stems from the entrepreneur's personality, not the product itself
I do end up having buyer's remorse later on down the line with a lot of products because a lot of times it's not the product that doesn't work. It's the entrepreneur that we don't see eye to eye.
Before heading out, Daymond looked into his crystal ball to predict the next major industry that's about to be flooded with entrepreneurs.
Daymond JohnCBD is the next big industry bubble
[The next bubble is] CBD. I like CBD if it's the real stuff, but I think that there are a lot of fly-by-night companies right now that are trying to capitalize on it.
Segments
In a quick Embrace Debate, the guys tackled Rockies pitcher Adam Ottavino’s claim that he could strike out the Great Bambino. While the era gap is massive, Big Cat isn't ready to dismiss the possibility entirely.
Big CatAdam Ottavino could strike out Babe Ruth every single time
Adam Ottavino says that he can strike out Babe Ruth every single time. Well, he definitely can right now, Babe Ruth's dead body. But seriously, I love these debates. They are what sports are all about, debating things that we can never prove.
Finally, Stay Woke focused on Steph Curry’s recent comments about the moon landing. While most people are arguing about science, PFT has a much more geographical theory about where that flag was actually planted.
PFT CommenterThe moon is actually just the Las Vegas area desert
I think the landing actually happened, but I think it happened in... I think the moon is just the Las Vegas area desert. [I am] a little woke on that.
If you're looking for a plot of land on the moon, just make sure you check with Dave Portnoy first.
