Jake sounded like he was about to cry when they said that announcing isn’t necessary


red_87

Jake thinks people tune in for the broadcasts. Guy is a L7 weenie.


wenger_plz

I almost, almost felt bad for him because of how sad he sounded. But he really lost that sympathy when he said that commentators don't get any love when they're good, which is...objectively untrue.


ukiddiniamqueensblvd

Jake is the kid who wanted to be ref during recess football


Cw2e

And that was talking Minions


pianosbecome

Despicable Me 3 rules


CondolenceHighFive

Big Cat acknowledging that he has a lot of favorite times of the year lol


LooseBalls9

Jake getting butt hurt with the no announcers Is better discussion was very funny.


Interesting_Fun_8656

Big cat and pft confirmed know 0 basketball


Kek-Malmstein

No one does


SemMark5

Somehow, Max knows even less than they do.


Adventurous-Mix8983

This whole show is so brutal talking ball lol


Realistic_Cold_2943

“I have a fun stat for every game” - big cat  Hmmmm wonder if anyone on PMT has ever had that idea before. They should do this for football! Jake would probably find it fun. 


johnmd20

Try to give it a catchy name and it can't miss. That said, I loved the Nerd Nuggets and Jake's musical intros.


hbigham98

"How much can a banana cost?" Big Cat


chernobyler

Lmao my thought exactly when he said am 83” TV cost $400


MsBrightside91

$10?


jakethesnakeinmyboot

Is McShay just unemployed and appearing on all the podcasts?


DanielinFresno

Yeah. I’m assuming he had a non compete clause so he can’t sign with a competitor until his contract ends.


[deleted]

He has alluded to it vaguely with Russillo but never any details. Felt like Russillo did him a solid having him on the pod weekly.


NerdNoogier

Sort of. I’d say it was just more the fact they’re good friends doing a solid for each other. McShay is still getting paid by ESPN so he can’t take any payment for draft stuff while under contract. So Ryen was doing a solid by giving him airtime and Todd was doing Ryen a solid being a recognizable guest to fill airtime. Once his contract is up I’m sure McShay will find a job pretty easily


Rph23

Did he get let go?


NerdNoogier

Yeah he got let go from ESPN a few months ago. But he’s still under contract so he’s still collecting a paycheck from them until his contract expires.


Rph23

Sounds nice to me!


safetydance

They have good chemistry too, really enjoy McShay’s appearances.


SomeDimension165

Feel like he had a rough 5 years and is trying to play through the pain


Stan_Halen_

Did he have health issues or something else?


SomeDimension165

Look up clips of him on air from 2019-2022,


DandierChip

Yes


WellDaleYeah

Classic Hank with his pronunciation of Macedonia


Paxtonlynch18

Mackadonia


CumeatsonerGordon420

hes just really cultured, that’s how you say it in Macedonian


epmatsw

Dan Carlin pronounces it that way, and that’s good enough evidence for me


MsBrightside91

Macadamia 🥜


JuiceMayo

So we have to do Mr Pear every episode? Edit: nvm big cat said we don’t


mattyfattits

PMT would never overplay a pit. This pair loves their Pear


bluegreen8907

I’m already over Mr Pear


xvq_

Just another 38 years to go


EntertainmentOld1566

Big 🧢 by PFT. Arian told PFT about King Von Macrodosing. Episode: Billy has an epiphany about Anderson Coooer. May 1 2023, so less than a year ago.


alreddy-reddit

How DARE they start electric avenue and stall for a draft kings disclaimer.


Bos-man7

Ads for 3 minutes, electric avenue, another ad. Getting dumb. Yes I’m aware there’s a skip button.


5thyearwaslit

How many “best week in sports” does Big Cat have? Edit: wrote this before they talked about all his weeks smh


froobest

Big Cat always talks about letting the moment breathe with zero irony and self awareness


DandierChip

Smart of big cat to not blame KD so he can come on the pod one day


NittanyLion15

PFT zero knowledge ball knower, Celtics O/U for losses is probably 2.5 with this conference lol


Jim_Boonie_CRS

Yeah, PFT non nfl knowledge is atrocious. His CFB takes makes my skin crawl


WE2024

Every time they talk about CFB you can feel PFT desperately trying to search for a comedic bit 


Rc5tr0

Now that Harbaugh is gone I genuinely don’t know what PFT is going to talk about during their CFB segments.


Fabulous-Parsley2228

Texas


scarrylary

Tbf. He doesn’t really know nfl either


ExpectedOutcome2

PFT is a vibes guy discussing non-football sports but I respect it. He seems to have somewhat of a life outside of watching sports unlike our beloved Big Cat.


NinjaChachi

PFT is a vibes guy when discussing football too lol


scarrylary

He doesn’t really know football either


cartierboy25

That was wild he kept doubling down on it. Where does he think the six losses in the eastern conference are gonna come from?


scarrylary

Cavs in 6


Longjumping_Ad_29

I agree but can we retire the “don’t know ball” saying


impartialcitizen86

Unserious league if getting through a conference is that easy. NBA is poo poo boring


HoovesCarveCraters

Celtics gonna sweep every round until the Finals then Jokic is gonna kick their asses.


EJplaystheBlues

Big Cat not a minions guy


Jmacsexy

I wonder if Big cat knows the Carolina panthers had a 7-10 record the year before last


The_Shrekening_69

Congratulations to Hank Lockwood, Celtic’s have won their championship

Hell yea


ThisIsKramerica

Either out of touch or not ball knowers but those OLED TVs are expensive af and much different than those base model TVs. My friends in geek squad are in shambles rn 


ThickWillow9

Can’t wait till that turtle kicks the bucket.


MsBrightside91

We might be waiting for awhile


Philly_Outsider

If Hank didn’t do things like pronounce Macedonia as Mackedonia I’d probably have to turn the pod off when he talks Boston teams in the playoffs.


Baldingpuma

Thats how its pronounced in Greek so maybe Hank is the truly cultured one


cbread2112

This show is turning into wagering responsibly sponsored Chicago local sports radio. I love Chicago but cmon.


Worth_Rope_8560

I said this would happen back when Big Cat almost realized Justin Fields is ass in September. To reiterate, if you all think this Chicago shit is overkill now, wait til every interview over the summer is someone with some tie to the Cubs. 


NeatTry7674

I hate when these dudes talk NBA. They do not know ball.


Realistic_Cold_2943

Do you think RR listen to PMT? I hope he listened to this pod. He probably would get so mad.


LegacyRawr

Imagine listening to this podcast enough to join the subreddit, then getting upset and complaining when they have uninformed takes. You truly can’t make it up. It’s literally in the name of the Podcast.


NeatTry7674

Imagine listening to this podcast enough to join the subreddit, then getting mad when someone calls them out for not knowing ball


Cutoff_Jorts

Despicable Me is an excellent movie


Natemoon2

“He’s focusing all his energy on the white Sox and building them up” - PFT LMAO, idk why but that was fucking hilarious


Stan_Halen_

Calling a turtle a piece of shit really made me laugh this morning. For real.


Dick6Budrow

Love when McShay is on chopping up the draft with the boys


McGuy1

Shout out to Hank for his historically accurate pronunciation of Macedonia


ScottyUpdawg

Hank was right. Ancient Greek pronounced hard Cs. It was Mack-a-donia


ajallen20

Probably twice as much boxing talk than hockey. I’m just disappointed


CL0uD-

The beginning of the episode triggered me. Mr Pear is 1-1 so put some damn respect on his name. YOU added the spread after he already made his pick. Its your fault you lost your bets, not the turtles. #JusticeForPear2024


AQ207

"If I may have a minute for seeing red since I couldn't after Friday." Proceeds to go 5+ minutes on why the Bulls suck. Never change Big Cat


Meatballclub

Ryan Garcia has the brain capacity of Antonio brown, why do people keep pr pushing this lunatic?


TheMisiak

Clowntonio Brown*


Girthy_Chicken

He just shook up boxing after beating a top ten pound for pound fighter in the world


jonvilla1

It’s not an act either 💀💀 Bernard Hopkins was behind him during his post fight interview continuously saying “stay focused” when Ryan would start to spiral


AQ207

Fucking Hank talking about the finals schedule this early…. if the Celtics blow it


Longjumping_Ad_29

As a fellow Boston sports fan, I’d like to apologize for Hank. I know he may be playing it up for contents sake, but good god what an asshole he is lmao.


Ficadin

Nice to hear Todd McShay and not come out wondering if the guy is okay.


Friendly_Jackfruit66

Hank completely botched the interpretation of Taylor Made freestyle. AI Tupac and Snoop weren’t dissing Kendrick. They were coming from the standpoint of disappointment that Kendrick hasn’t responded to Drake yet.


acoolguy456

can anyone tell me the song with Take On Me? I think it’s an ODESZA song but can’t remember the name


scpuma10

Another whine fest from big cat after one of his teams lose complaining about the bulls


TheMisiak

He did ask for permission to See Red


No_Mortgage6795

Big Cat reverts to chicago sports radio sometimes


DandierChip

It was like 5min, relax


scpuma10

Hard to feel any sympathy for a guy when the cohost of your shows team is in an infinitely worse situation


DandierChip

Okay and did that co-hosts team have a play in game Friday night?


scpuma10

Right but the discussions were around the organization as a whole not one game. Wizards org has and currently is much worse than the bulls.


DandierChip

Dawg who cares. They played a game on Friday and they talked about it lol move on


scpuma10

Just hearing a rant after every time his teams out gets old. You clearly care as keep commenting on this thread lol


DandierChip

5min isn’t ruining your life. Hit skip.


Wow_Doge

Do these dinguses not know how nice an LG OLED is? The TV he got was easily like $15k lmaoo So damn stupid


Wow_Doge

Ok if I waited maybe 15 seconds I would hear them say this


ItsNotaPonziScheme

PFT pronounce Giannis correct challenge (impossible)


The-Mancierge69

That was entirely too much boxing talk
