Will Zalatoris and Barry Pepper on The Masters, Saving Private Ryan, and J-Rod's Split
Love is officially dead. Again. Big Cat and PFT Commenter open the show mourning the end of J-Rod, the power couple of A-Rod and J-Lo. While A-Rod is posting Instagram stories with Kleenex boxes and Coldplay soundtracks, the guys are looking at the silver lining: at least they don't have to worry about whether or not they'll be invited to the wedding anymore.
Big CatA-Rod is breaking up with J-Lo just for the clout
I feel like A-Rod is breaking up just for the clout these days.
PFT already has the perfect revenge plan for J-Lo to get back at Alex.
PFT CommenterJ-Lo should buy the New York Mets as an all-time flex on A-Rod
You know what would be an all-time flex if J-Lo went out and she bought the New York Mets? If she invested in it.
Trevor Lawrence and the Hair Concern
Turning to the NFL, the guys discuss the recent Sports Illustrated profile on Trevor Lawrence where he admitted he doesn't have a massive chip on his shoulder. Billy Football is naturally concerned that the presumptive number one pick simply doesn't care enough about the grind, leading to a heated debate about whether hair length correlates to Super Bowl success.
Billy FootballTrevor Lawrence does not actually like football
[Trevor Lawrence] actually doesn't like football, which means that he's never fought to keep playing football. And he's going to get to a point in the NFL for the first time in his life where he's never had to play hard to keep playing football.
PFT is convinced that no quarterback with flowing locks has ever hoisted a Lombardi, which is a major red flag for the Jaguars.
PFT CommenterA long-haired quarterback has never won a Super Bowl
I don't get the whole Jesus complex thing. When was the last time a long-haired quarterback won a Super Bowl? I can't think of one.
The Browns Are Super Bowl Bound
Big Cat has officially seen enough from the Cleveland Browns after they signed Jadeveon Clowney. Between Baker Mayfield, Myles Garrett, and now Clowney, the roster is a collection of draft pedigree that Big Cat simply cannot ignore.
Big CatThe Cleveland Browns are my pick to win the Super Bowl because they have three former #1 overall picks
The Browns are now officially, if I had to pick a Super Bowl winner today, it would be the Browns just because they have three number one overall picks in the last five years. ... Miles Garrett, Baker Mayfield, and Clowney. ... That right there just tells me from my own draft analysis, that's the greatest team that's ever been created.
Speaking of Clowney, the guys analyze his career arc and how one specific play in college basically funded his entire professional life.
Big CatJadeveon Clowney earned 60% of his career earnings from a single hit against Michigan
How many millions of dollars do you think Jadeveon Clowney has gained in his life, in his career, from that one hit against Michigan? There has to be a number. 60% of his career earnings. Every time you think of him, you think of that hit.
They also side with the Jets for refusing a first-round pick for Sam Darnold from the 49ers, mostly because the optics of Kyle Shanahan turning Darnold into a Pro Bowler would be too much for the New York front office to handle.
Big CatThe Jets were right to refuse a 1st round pick for Sam Darnold because Kyle Shanahan would have made them look like idiots
I actually am going to side with the Jets here simply because Kyle Shanahan is that type of coach that if he got Sam Darnold, Sam Darnold would be a pro bowler. ... It'd make you look bad. Like, he's the one guy I wouldn't want to trade my quarterback to just knowing that he's going to end up looking good and everyone would be like, oh, the Jets suck even more.
Barry Pepper: The Character Actor's Journey
Actor Barry Pepper joins the show to discuss his new movie *Trigger Point*, but the conversation quickly shifts to his legendary role as the sniper Jackson in *Saving Private Ryan*. Barry shares fascinating stories about growing up on a 50-foot sailboat in the South Pacific for five years with no GPS, navigating only by the stars. He also gives a great breakdown of the difference between being a "movie star" and a "character actor."
Barry PepperHarrison Ford and Tom Cruise always play themselves, whereas Tom Hanks is a chameleon
Harrison Ford... he's not a character actor. He always plays Harrison Ford or Tom Cruise. He always plays Tom Cruise, whereas Tom Hanks has that sort of ability to chameleonize a bit.
As a huge Yankees fan, Barry also weighs in on the MLB record books and where Roger Maris stands in history compared to the steroid era.
Barry PepperRoger Maris is the real home run king
[The asterisk] represents like the real home run king in my estimation. ... [Mark McGwire] apologized to [Maris's widow] for the shame that he brought to that record and breaking Roger's record and it being so well known that he was juiced the whole time.
Will Zalatoris Joins the Golf Crew
Fresh off a runner-up finish at the Masters, Will Zalatoris stops by to officially join Brooks Koepka and Max Homa in the PMT golf stable. Will talks about the whirlwind of the last week, how he still doesn't have a permanent PGA Tour card despite winning over a million dollars, and his frequent "death matches" on the course with Tony Romo.
Will ZalatorisTony Romo is a genius when it comes to the mechanics of a golf swing
The guy is a genius when it comes to the mechanics. Like he understands people's golf swings better than I even think some coaches do with their students just because he sits there and he studies them nonstop.
Will confirms that while Romo is a mechanical genius, he still needs a few strokes when playing against the pros, though his "good days" are legit.
Will ZalatorisTony Romo is good enough to play at the PGA Tour level on his best days
So his good days are totally good enough to play at tour level. Um, it's just the bad is just where he's got to fix it and you know i think he's a great chipper and putter he's a pretty good iron player.
Fyre Fest of the Week
To wrap up, the guys get into Fyre Fest of the Week. Hank is dealing with TikTok commenters bullying his dog, Norman, calling him a "collection of genetic errors." Big Cat admits to a "big sunglasses on the back of the head" move at a local park, while Billy Football gets grilled for allegedly reporting the show's own Instagram post because people were making fun of his nose.
Big CatYou should be allowed to do anything to break up a no-hitter, but you must accept getting hit by a pitch the next day
My opinion on no hitters and perfect games, I think you should get to do anything to try to break it up, but you also should get to throw it at their head the next day.
It's a tough week for everyone, but at least the Masters direct deposit is on the way for the newest member of the crew.
Don't eat an off-season pear.
