Waka Flocka Flame on NBA Scouting, the Sweet 16, and Cereal Shrimp
We have officially reached that weird purgatory of the sports calendar where the first two rounds of March Madness are over and we're just shaking, waiting for the Sweet 16 to start. Big Cat and PFT are feeling the withdrawal after a weekend of eating garbage and watching wall-to-wall hoops. The big story, of course, is the Pac-12 absolutely dominating the bracket while the Big Ten and Big 12 collapsed.
Bill Walton incepted the Pac-12 teams into becoming the 'Conference of Champions'
He's [Bill Walton] incepted us into thinking that the Pac-12 is actually the Conference of Champions, and now he's incepted the teams themselves into believing in themselves so much that they are now advancing to potentially become the Conference of Champions.
While Bill Walton’s third eye might have seen this coming, Big Cat has a more practical theory for why the West Coast is suddenly a juggernaut again.
The Pac-12 is officially back now that Larry Scott is gone
No, Larry Scott was the reason why, and he's gone, so the Pac-12 is officially back. Pac-12 is back big time.
Pro Days and Draft Szn
With the NFL Draft approaching, Pro Days are back in full swing. PFT is already falling in love with Purdue’s Rondale Moore, a 5'7" monster who squats 600 pounds. Big Cat is already envisioning a Lombardi Trophy for whoever is smart enough to use him correctly.
Rondale Moore is a Super Bowl-winning weapon if used in space
If you draft Rondale Moore, get him in space, Super Bowl. We're trying to get more touches with Rondale Moore. That's all it takes.
Meanwhile, Bo Nix is out here comparing himself to Jesus because people talk bad about him, which is a classic quarterback move. PFT thinks the draft stock might be higher than we realize just based on the vibes of the name alone.
An NFL team will draft Bo Nix purely because of his name
Somebody's going to draft Bo Nix just based on his name only.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne: Shrimp Gate
Hot Seat is Cinnamon Toast Crunch after friend of the program Jensen Karp found actual shrimp tails in his cereal bag. The guys brought in Billy Football to break down the logistics of how a crustacean ends up in a cereal factory. While General Mills tried to gaslight the internet by claiming the shrimp tails were just "accumulated sugar," Billy is taking a glass-half-full approach to your next breakfast bowl.
You are statistically less likely to have shrimp in your next box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Statistically, you're more less likely to have shrimp in your next box. [Big Cat: No, but it was zero] ... No, it's like once in a blue moon.
PFT isn't buying the corporate excuses, though. He’s leaning into a "Stay Woke" theory that involves corporate sabotage and a late-night heist at Costco.
A rival cereal company planted shrimp in Jensen Karp's cereal to change the narrative
This could be a case of, I don't know, maybe a rival cereal company seeing that Cinnamon Toast Crunch was getting all that shine last week. They go into Costco in the dead of night with a box cutter and some tape and a couple of shrimp tails, and they just try to get the story out there to change the narrative.
Waka Flocka Flame
The legendary Waka Flocka Flame joined the show to talk about his new reality series, *Waka & Tammy: What The Flocka*, but the conversation quickly shifted to his secret life as a high-end basketball scout. Waka has a genuine eye for talent, famously calling Tobias Harris a future star when he was still in high school. He’s even ready to take his game to the hardwood against other rap legends.
I would beat Master P in a one-on-one basketball game right now
Man, tell Master P, come on. I take him down right now.
Beyond basketball, Waka discussed his "flexitarian" diet, his PhD in humanitarianism, and his potential political future. He’s got a very specific platform ready for whenever he decides to move into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
If I become president, I will immediately ban any food that causes health conditions
If I become president, it's going to be an immediate change. I'm talking about a strong change. I'm going to start with food. I'm going to make sure any kind of food that I know draw any kind of health conditions, I'm just literally going to abominate it. I'm not going to ask for laws. I'm not going to ask for nothing. I'm literally going to just abominate them.
He also gave his picks for the NBA title, though he and Big Cat didn't exactly see eye-to-eye on the Eastern Conference.
The Brooklyn Nets will win the Eastern Conference
I think the Nets are going to win it in the East. They just got our guy Blake Griffin, so that will be the final piece.
FAQs and Registered Weapons
We wrapped things up with some FAQs, where Billy Football dropped a bombshell about his legal status. Apparently, if you’ve ever stepped into a ring for a professional event, you lose the right to a fair fight in the eyes of the law.
If I get into a fight, I would be charged with murder because my hands are registered weapons
I got legal hands, I can't fight anybody. No seriously, like legally I'd get murder not manslaughter if I get into a fight with someone... because I was registered in a professional boxing match.
Big Cat also gave a terrifying update on his timeline for the show, suggesting that the end of an era might be closer than we think.
I am going to retire from podcasting in three years
I'm going to retire in like three years... I think as soon as I'm like, it's funny being old right now, but then when I'm real old, old, it'll be like, this sucks.
Don't worry though, because even if Big Cat retires, he'll still be at home laughing at Australian cattle dogs on Disney+.
The children's show Bluey is genuinely hilarious
I watch it with my son. I don't like the slander on Bluey. I think Bluey's fucking hilarious.
Eat some shrimp-free cereal and get ready for the Sweet 16.
