Silence is the most powerful tool a broadcaster has

I think so there have been times in my career, and that's 20 plus years ago, there are times in my career where you realize silence is the most powerful tool you have to let the natural sounds come over at television, which, you know, I think I've been pretty respectful of over the years.

Philosophy of professional broadcasting.

Brian Harman is the Ben Simmons of golf

He's right-handed, but he plays left-handed. Love it. He's the Ben Simmons of golf.

The comparison is based on the verified fact that both athletes use their non-dominant hands for their primary sports action.

I am a fan of Brian Harman because of how much he pissed off the entire country of England

I had no thoughts about Brian Harman. I ended up the tournament being like, I hate watching this guy because of the waggle. But the fact that he pissed off England so much made me a Brian Harman fan. It felt personal. It felt like a US versus England situation. I want him to be boring and short, all these things right in your fucking face.

This is a subjective opinion about Big Cat's own fandom.

I'm officially off the Rory McIlroy train

I'm off Rory officially. Okay. All right. Well it's, I'm officially off Rory now. It's gonna be 10 years going into the next season, right? Yeah. It's been 10 years. He'll never win a major Championship.

As of late 2024, Rory McIlroy still has not won a major since the 2014 PGA Championship.

The only reason celebrities agreed to write chapters for the PMT book is out of fear they would be turned on by the hosts

The answer to your question is why would any of these people agree to do any of this? 'Cause we don't want you two pricks to turn on us... We're trying to... I'm keeping you close so I can do a little bit of work to keep you guys on my side.

While Buck is being humorous, many guests have alluded to the power of the PMT fan base and the benefit of being 'in on the joke.'

Ferdinand Magellan and Al Michaels are the only two 'map guys' in human history.

Al Michaels. That's that... he's brilliant at knowing he's a map guy. And, maybe that's good for the brain. I hope that I'm half as good as Al Michaels when I'm at that stage of my career... but I've never heard of a map guy other than maybe Magellan and Al Michaels. I was like, sit around studying maps? I just, no, that's why Netflix was created.

A comedic exaggeration about Al Michaels' geography skills.
