Stacey King on Bulls, Kirk Hinrich, and PFT's Political Exile
The show starts with some major drama as PFT Commenter managed to get himself kicked out of a Republican town hall in Milwaukee. Apparently, the CNN handlers weren't huge fans of PFT's investigative journalism style, which involves drinking Fireball shots and entering a venue with a photographer's credential while only carrying an iPhone. He defended his right to be there with the kind of constitutional rigor you can only find on this program.
PFT CommenterIt's my constitutional duty to be drunk when attending presidential debates
I feel like it's my constitutional duty to be drunk when I'm attending these things like presidential debates. If I'm interviewing Ben Carson about baby Hitler, if I'm talking to Donald Trump about whether or not he's a Muslim because he doesn't drink, I'm very serious about that.
Medical Anomalies and Relationship Woes
Big Cat and PFT Commenter turned their attention to the New York Mets and Matt Harvey’s recent health scare. Harvey apparently suffered from a bladder infection caused by holding his pee in for too long, which led to blood clots. Big Cat wasn't exactly sympathetic, immediately questioning Harvey’s basic survival instincts and his man card.
Big CatI'm taking Matt Harvey's man card for getting a bladder infection
Apparently he had a bladder infection, which right off the bat, I'm taking his man card for that because I did not know that guys could get bladder infections. I thought that was only a woman thing. I know that sounds ignorant. But that's kind of what the man cards for is like when you feel scared by your own ignorance, you just got to take the man card.
Big CatMatt Harvey can't be trusted in any aspect of his life because he doesn't pee at the right time
Matt Harvey is going to the bathroom when he has to go to the bathroom now everything else that Matt Harvey does you have to question... The fact that he can't control his own bowels means that he can't be trusted in any other aspect of his life. So, yeah, if I'm the Mets, I'm like, this is a big problem. Guy can't pee.
PFT Commenter, ever the optimist, saw a silver lining for the youth of America. He predicted that this medical mystery would actually help high schoolers across the country during testing season.
PFT CommenterMatt Harvey's bladder infection story will lead to an uptick in SAT scores
What are the long-term ramifications of a big news story about a major league pitcher that doesn't pee enough? And I thought, well, this upcoming SAT season, you're probably going to see a big uptick in the overall scores on SATs because there are going to be a lot more guys that are going to be like, hey, I have to go pee and then go cheat in the bathroom.
Moving from physical health to emotional damage, the guys touched on the Kyrie Irving and Kehlani drama. Big Cat has a theory that Kyrie’s alma mater might be to blame for his bad luck in love, while PFT pointed out the inherent risks of dating anyone with a massive social media presence.
Big CatDuke basketball players are the type of guys who get cheated on
Kyrie Irving, if you go to Duke, you're a guy who gets cheated on. That just kind of – that feels like a Duke thing that happens. If Kyrie Irving had gone to North Carolina or Kentucky or Kansas, I don't think he gets cheated on. I just think that Duke is a very – guys who go to Duke get cheated on.
PFT CommenterDating an Instagram model with over 20,000 followers is asking to get cheated on
I also say that if you, if you date somebody who on Instagram has over like 20,000 followers, you're pretty much asking to get cheated on too. Because, because in her mind, the only thing that matters to her is taking a picture of something that's going to get a lot of likes.
Stacey King Talks Bulls
The voice of the Chicago Bulls, Stacey King, joined the show to discuss a team that is currently making everyone in Chicago miserable. Stacey brought some professional perspective to the trade of fan-favorite Kirk Hinrich, reminding everyone that the league is a business first and foremost.
Stacey KingEveryone in the NBA is tradable
I played this game. Everybody's tradable. It's not like – You know, some guys, you know, when you're a broadcaster, you never played. I played in the NBA. I've been traded. So it happens. It's a business.
Stacey also weighed in on the upcoming Final Four, specifically looking at Buddy Hield and Oklahoma. As an Oklahoma legend himself, Stacey sees a lot of pro potential in Hield, comparing him to a former NBA scoring machine.
Stacey KingBuddy Hield's game is reminiscent of Michael Redd because of his size and unorthodox scoring ability
Well, his game reminds me of Michael Redd, the Ohio State player... He was a big-time scorer, about 6'4", 6'5", unorthodox, could shoot it from anywhere. He kind of reminds me of Michael Redd.
With the Sooners set to face Villanova, Stacey warned against the trap of looking back at their regular-season blowout win. He noted that the Wildcats are a completely different animal than they were in December.
Stacey KingVillanova is a totally different team than they were earlier in the season when Oklahoma beat them
Villanova's a totally different team than what they faced early in the year. They were still trying to figure themselves out. Oklahoma had a little bit more of a veteran team. They played together. So, you know, that was an advantage for the Sooners. But, you know, if OU goes in there with the mindset like, hey, you know, we already beat this team by 25 and you start overlooking them... Your butt might be going home on Saturday.
Segments and Life Hacks
Before the show ended, Big Cat offered some crucial gambling advice for anyone looking at the Final Four in Houston. If you like offense, you’re probably going to have a bad time at NRG Stadium.
Big CatBet the unders for the Final Four because Houston's NRG Stadium is a very bad shooting stadium
Houston is a very, very bad shooting stadium. Very bad. It's in the big dome, the Reliant Energy Center, whatever the hell it's called. I think it went 7-1 unders last year when they played part of the tournament there.
In a new segment called "Talkin' Soccer," the guys covered the USMNT's 4-0 win over Guatemala with the kind of expert analysis only two guys who just watched their first match could provide. This was followed by "Parental Guidance," featuring some truly elite dad texts about the Bulls, WrestleMania, and why Cam Newton is a pussy.
Finally, the first-ever edition of "Explain It to Hank" tackled the mystery of CVS receipts. While they didn't really explain why a receipt for two Gatorades is longer than a CVS aisle, PFT did provide a genuine life hack for anyone tired of giving out their personal information at the checkout counter.
PFT CommenterUse the 'Jenny' phone number (867-5309) at drug stores to get rewards discounts without giving your real info
If you go to a CVS or really any grocery store that has a rewards program and they ask you to enter in your phone number... if you type in 8-6-7-5-3-0-9, the Jenny number... That will usually get you a discount because people don't want to give their actual number.
PFT may have been too drunk for CNN, but he’s just the right amount of drunk for the charts and your heart.
