Zac Efron and RJ Hampton on Hollywood, NBA Dreams, and Boner Dogs
The Bruins took Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, and while Hank is already planning the parade, PFT Commenter is busy reminding everyone that no lead is safe in the beautiful game of hockey.
PFT CommenterA 2-0 lead is the most dangerous lead in both hockey and soccer.
It proves once again 2-0 is the most dangerous lead ever. In hockey and also in soccer, I'm told.
But the real news of the day is that the ownership group—Big Cat, PFT, and Hank—officially secured a commitment from five-star recruit RJ Hampton for the New Zealand Breakers. It is a massive win for the program and a total power move against the heavy hitters of college basketball.
PFT CommenterI cucked Coach Cal, Coach K, and Bill Self by signing RJ Hampton to the New Zealand Breakers
I think it's safe to say that we cucked the shit out of Coach Cal, Coach K, and Bill Self all in one fell swoop. We made a damn strong offer, Big Cat. A damn strong offer.
While some media members are worried about RJ’s visibility playing in the future (New Zealand), Big Cat isn't concerned about the branding. If anything, the Breakers just became the most talked-about team in the world because they have the backing of the AWLs.
Big CatRJ Hampton's brand will be fine because we will be the number one RJ Hampton podcast on planet Earth
Guess what, Jeff Goodman? His brand is going to be fine because we're going to be the number one RJ Hampton podcast on planet Earth.
Lakers Chaos and Ghost Dinners
The Lakers are currently a dumpster fire of epic proportions. Between Rob Pelinka’s bizarre storytelling and Magic Johnson’s alleged reign of terror, the front office is leaking like a sieve. PFT sees it as a classic case of survival of the pettiest.
PFT CommenterThe Lakers are in a classic rats-on-a-sinking-ship scenario
What this tells me is that this is a classic rats on a sinking ship scenario with the Lakers. Because you're right. Nobody was spared. Everybody got a little taste of some vengeance from somebody else. So everyone inside that front office is talking.
One of the wildest details involved Pelinka claiming Kobe Bryant met with the late Heath Ledger. While the internet is roasting Pelinka for the timeline not adding up, Big Cat thinks Kobe’s Mamba Mentality might actually extend to the afterlife.
Big CatI wouldn't put it past Kobe Bryant to actually have a meeting with a ghost to figure out how locked in he is.
I wouldn't put it past Kobe to actually have a meeting with a ghost to figure out how locked in he is. We're laughing at Rob Pelinka right now, but Rob Pelinka might be telling the truth. He's just leaving out the part that it was a ghost and not actually Heath Ledger.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hank put the Domino's Pizza Tracker on the Hot Seat after a journalist exposed that the "out for delivery" notification might be a lie. It’s a dark day for anyone who believes in the sanctity of the tracker. Big Cat put The Rock on the Hot Seat, mostly because he’s tired of the world’s most jacked man trying to act like his massive cheat meals make him just like us.
Big CatI am sick of The Rock posting relatable cheat meals while he's in peak physical condition
I'm putting The Rock on my hot seat because I'm sick of him posting his cheat meals. Being like, look how relatable this is, guys. I don't know if you noticed this, but like every month, Rock will post a huge pancake or something. And be like, damn, look at this cheat meal I'm about to devour. Being like, everyone out there, you know what it's like to eat like shit. Yeah, Rock, we eat like shit every fucking day. You're not cool because you eat a big pancake once every 30 days and you can deadlift 1,000 pounds and you spend your life in a fucking gym.
On the Cool Throne, PFT is riding with FIFA. Despite a massive ticket snafu for the Women's World Cup where families were seated in different sections, he has total faith in the organization known for its stellar ethics.
PFT CommenterFIFA is the one organization out there that knows how to handle their shit.
If there's one organization out there that knows how to handle their shit, it's FIFA. This is like number 100 on their list right now of things to take care of right behind building stadiums that look like vaginas using slave labor.
Zac Efron Joins the Show
Zac Efron invited Big Cat and PFT into his home for a wide-ranging conversation that felt more like a Bill Walton fever dream than a standard interview. They talked about his transition from teen heartthrob to serious actor, his love for the San Francisco Giants, and how he manages to stay in such absurd shape. Zac is a big fan of the show and even tried to help the guys get shredded, claiming that his diet of choice is actually manageable.
Zac EfronIntermittent fasting is the easiest thing in the world
No, [intermittent fasting] is the easiest thing in the world... You just don't eat for longer in the morning and a little bit longer before bed... you have 12 hours that you should not eat throughout the day. During your nighttime sleep cycle, say you have your dinner and your dinner ends at 7 p.m., you should not have anything in your body except water.
Zac also talked about the legends he's worked with and observed in Hollywood. He has a massive amount of respect for Tom Cruise, noting that Cruise has perfected the art of being a movie star in a way that parallels the GOAT of the gridiron.
Zac EfronTom Cruise is the Tom Brady of movie stars.
He's Tom Brady. He's like the Tom Brady [of movie stars]. He does the movie star as an actor, the best way. He's a real movie star.
Before letting him go, the guys pitched Zac on their passion project: *Boner Dogs*. It’s a film about sled dogs, one of which has a permanent physical issue that helps them find their way home. Zac didn’t just listen; he seemed genuinely interested in being the voice of the titular boner.
RJ Hampton’s Big Decision
RJ Hampton stopped by to discuss why he’s skipping Kansas, Memphis, and Texas Tech to play professional ball in New Zealand. For RJ, it wasn't about the college experience; it was about the quickest path to his ultimate goal.
RJ HamptonMy goal was never to play college basketball; I just wanted to be a pro
Ultimately, my dream was never to play college basketball. That was not my main goal. My main goal was always to play in the NBA.
He did admit that if he had stayed in the States, he would have been rocking the Crimson and Blue for Bill Self.
RJ HamptonIf I had chosen to go to college, I would have picked Kansas
No, if I'm being serious, I would have went to the University of Kansas.
RJ is also bringing some style changes to the Breakers. He's a proponent of the short-shorts movement, arguing that it’s not just a fashion statement—it’s a functional necessity for a high-level guard.
RJ HamptonYou can't really dribble effectively with long shorts anyway; short shorts are the new wave.
Trendsetter. It's like the new wave. You can't dribble really with your shorts all long anyways.
We wrapped things up with some Bachelorette talk and a very aggressive Guys on Chicks segment where PFT gave some questionable relationship advice regarding the necessity of street fighting.
PFT CommenterIf your man hasn't gotten in a fight over you in the last six weeks, he's probably gotten another girl pregnant.

Always remember to check your pizza tracker and never trust a guy named Luke.
