Super Troopers Kevin Heffernan and Erik Stolhanske on Movie Bits and NBA Playoffs
The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and Big Cat and PFT are watching the Portland Trail Blazers get absolutely dismantled by the New Orleans Pelicans. While Anthony Davis is playing like a god, PFT has a more meteorological explanation for why the Blazers are getting rolled in the first round.
PFT CommenterThe Pelicans are getting revenge on the Blazers because they took their hurricane logo personally
New Orleans saw that the Blazers have a hurricane as their logo, and they took it personally. And they're pissed off. Yep, they took all their angst out.
Speaking of teams that make us sad, the conversation shifted to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Between Tom Thibodeau running his starters into the ground and the general lack of joy on the court, they’ve become a tough watch for anyone who doesn't enjoy basketball-induced depression.
PFT CommenterThe Timberwolves are the saddest team in the world
The Timberwolves are the saddest team in the world. They are pretty bad. There's no really redeeming quality to watching them play.
On the ice, the Washington Capitals are doing their usual dance. Even with Braden Holtby looking solid in net, Big Cat is ready to throw a curveball into the mix just to keep everyone on their toes. He's calling for a goalie swap regardless of performance because that's just how the playoffs work.
Big CatThe Washington Capitals should go back to Philipp Grubauer despite Braden Holtby's good play
Perfect time to go back to [Grubauer]. Right when they're not expecting it. I feel like the Caps should never play a hot hand too long. Just go the reverse of what everyone says you're going to play the hot goalie.
Farva and Rabbit in Studio
Kevin Heffernan (Farva) and Erik Stolhanske (Rabbit) joined the show to promote *Super Troopers 2*, and they didn't hold back on the confidence levels for the sequel. When asked where it ranks among the greats, they put it in some pretty elite company.
Kevin HeffernanSuper Troopers 2 is a better sequel than The Godfather Part II
I'd say it's more beyond Godfather 2. It's like Empire Strikes Back.
The interview covered everything from crowdfunding their own budget to the "House of Pain" writing room where they’ve spent fifteen years brutally critiquing each other's jokes. We also got some heavy sports takes from the guests, including a bold prediction for the 2018 World Series and Giancarlo Stanton’s power numbers.
Kevin HeffernanThe Yankees will win the World Series and Giancarlo Stanton will hit 50 home runs in 2018
Well, the Yankees are going to win this year... When [Giancarlo Stanton] hits 50 home runs this year, you guys have to change your tune, right?
Not to be outdone by his partner, Erik Stolhanske threw out a massive homer take for his Minnesota Timberwolves, essentially predicting a championship run that seems slightly detached from the reality of their current offense.
Erik StolhanskeThe Minnesota Timberwolves will win the NBA title next year
I'm going to take your coach and your player, and the Timberwolves are going to win it all next year.
The Movie Workshop
Big Cat and PFT decided to help the Broken Lizard guys out by pitching some high-concept Adam Sandler movie ideas. The clear winner was *Boner Dogs*, a survival story about a sled dog with a permanent erection that functions as a sundial to lead the family home. Big Cat noted that the key to modern cinematic success isn't a good script, but rather fueling the internet's obsession with continuity errors.
Big CatThe movie 'Boner Dogs' will be a success if it creates plot holes for fans to find
Listen, we're going to go with 'Boner Dogs' because the way to get a successful movie is to get on that website where they're like, there's a plot hole here.
Before letting the guys go, the talk turned back to the Vikings, where Big Cat delivered a cold hard truth for all the purple-clad fans in Minnesota regarding their Super Bowl aspirations.
Mount Rushmore of Ben & Jerry's
To wrap things up, the guys did a Mount Rushmore of Ben & Jerry's flavors in honor of Giants GM Dave Gettleman being called a "quote machine" for mentioning ice cream once. Hank went with a safe, boring chalk pick at number one overall, much to everyone's disgust.
HankMint chocolate chip is the best ice cream flavor
My number one flavor... It's mint chocolate chip. Best ice cream flavor there is. Number one pick.
PFT took the opportunity to stand up for the true king of the freezer aisle while also taking a shot at a musical legend that might get him banned from every parking lot in America.
PFT CommenterPhish Food is the best Ben & Jerry's flavor
I would die on this hill: Fish Food. It's got the marshmallow. And you know what I like? The crunch element is the chocolate-covered caramel fish.
PFT CommenterJerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead are overrated
I'm just going to say it out loud. Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, a little overrated.
If you find yourself on a spaceship looking for aliens this weekend, just remember PFT's advice on interstellar diplomacy: strike first and ask questions never.
PFT CommenterWe should nuke aliens immediately if we find them
If we find a planet with aliens on them, we just nuke the planet immediately. Can't take that chance. They definitely have better weapons than us. We should become the aliens that we're afraid of coming to us.
Make sure to check the extra ten minutes of silence at the end of the episode for a very special surprise.
