Tim Meadows on Son of Zorn, SNL Stories, and an Office Table Read
Football weekend is finally here, and the guys opened the show by mourning the current state of the Miami Dolphins. After watching Ryan Tannehill struggle to throw the ball over his own offensive linemen during Thursday Night Football, PFT Commenter is convinced that the breakout is just around the corner, provided the Dolphins show more financial commitment.
PFT CommenterNext year will finally be the year Ryan Tannehill makes the leap
I think next year is the year that Ryan Tannehill is really going to make that leap. Yep. They need to give him a couple more extensions, really show they have faith in him, and then eventually he'll blossom.
Looking ahead to the college slate, Big Cat is ready to dance on the grave of a certain powerhouse conference while crowning a new king. With Louisville and Clemson set for a massive showdown, the narrative is shifting fast.
Big CatThe ACC is officially back and the SEC is dead
I think the ACC is back, gentlemen. The ACC is back. The SEC is dead and continues to be dead.
Speaking of that Louisville matchup, PFT Commenter is buying all the Bobby Petrino stock. He’s convinced Petrino is a man of high character who would never leave a program high and dry for a bigger job.
PFT CommenterBobby Petrino will stay at Louisville for the long term because he is a man of faith
Love Petrino. I feel like Petrino's a good guy. He's got the whole faith of the program behind him. He's not going anywhere. Oh, man, after they go undefeated and they beat Houston too, Petrino's sticking around for the long term. He's not going to Texas or LSU next year.
Tim Meadows and The Office Table Read
SNL legend Tim Meadows joined the show to discuss his new Fox sitcom, Son of Zorn. Tim broke down the unique challenges of being the only human in a scene with a cartoon character, though he noted it wasn't much different than trying to have a serious conversation with Big Cat and PFT Commenter.
Tim MeadowsSon of Zorn is the first ever show with a cartoon as the main character of a sitcom.
Zorn is the first ever show that is a cartoon as the main character of a sitcom. I think that is absolutely true.
Tim shared some incredible stories from the 30 Rock hallways, including his "batting average" for getting the famously stoic Lorne Michaels to actually laugh out loud during pitch meetings.
Tim MeadowsMy batting average for making Lorne Michaels laugh was around .300
My batting average with Lorne was probably... in baseball we're talking about baseball batting yeah that's batting right baseball yep um i probably would say i was in the 300 area okay yeah yeah i did pretty well he liked a lot of my stuff
Before letting him go, the guys recruited Tim for a high-stakes table reading of the iconic "Chili's" scene from The Office. Tim reprised his role as Christian, while Big Cat took on Michael Scott and PFT Commenter played Jan Levinson. It was a masterclass in acting that surely would have had Lorne Michaels hiring them on the spot before immediately asking Big Cat and PFT to leave the building.
Stingray Steve and the SEC
Stingray Steve called in to deliver his legendary "Call of the Week," focusing on the chaotic ending of the LSU-Auburn game that ultimately cost Les Miles his job. Stingray believes the Ed Orgeron era is going to look vastly different in Baton Rouge.
Stingray SteveLSU will look like a completely different team under Coach O
I think you're actually going to see a lot of stuff, a lot of different stuff from LSU when they take the field Saturday night against Missouri.
When PFT asked if Coach O would follow the Les Miles tradition of eating grass, Stingray remained skeptical, suggesting Orgeron is more likely to eat glass in a fit of pure football energy.
Stay Woke and Segment Fun
The guys got exceptionally woke this week, starting with a conspiracy theory regarding Josh Gordon’s sudden move to rehab. Big Cat is looking at the NFL's stance on certain substances with a suspicious eye.
Big CatJosh Gordon is being paid by the NFL to pretend weed is ruining his life
Is there a conspiracy that Josh Gordon is being paid by the NFL to pretend weed is ruining his life so they can keep it illegal? ... who else do we know anyone else who's been addicted to weed?
Not to be outdone, PFT Commenter presented a theory that Tim Tebow’s entire existence, from the Heisman to the New York Mets, is actually one long-con viral marketing stunt orchestrated by a late-night talk show host.
PFT CommenterTim Tebow is a viral marketing stunt hired by Jimmy Kimmel
I think Tim Tebow is just a viral ad. I think he's just a viral person. He's a Kimmel stunt. Yes, Jimmy Kimmel has hired Tim Tebow from the time Tim Tebow was in ninth grade just to do pranks.
In Trouble in Paradise, the news of Mike Greenberg potentially getting a solo morning show hit the guys hard. PFT envisioned a bleak, four-hour broadcast that might require a wellness check on the host.
PFT CommenterA Mike Greenberg solo show would be a four-hour suicide note of unathletic stories
Can you just imagine four hours of Greeny? ... It actually just might be really depressing to have a guy just making fun of how unathletic he is for four hours. You need that Golic balance. ... Now it's just going to be one long suicide note. It's just going to be him being like, I was not good at sports in high school.
Finally, the show wrapped up with a very emotional Jimbo of the Week. After yet another disappointing performance by his beloved Chicago Bears, Big Cat has reached his breaking point with the franchise.
Big CatI am officially joining the #NeverBears movement and will never bet on the Bears again.
I went back to the well and I bet on the Bears again. Never again. ... Never bears. Start it now. Hashtag it. Never bears.
Next time you're thinking about siphoning diesel, just remember that even an award-winning listener can be a total Jimbo.
