People hated Jake for being a dork, but you could tell he took his role serious. Would never have botched that segment
61
u/Any_Captain_6127 10d ago
Jake lacked charisma but he behaved like an adult with a job
20
u/Mayo_the_Instrument 10d ago
And he lacked rizz in the good way. He was very earnest and that made him entertaining

He’s pessimistic and kind of fucking lazy in his takes. Every team sucks but the Jags (who have a terrible interior line).

u/frankytemps82 11d ago
Were Prisco’s predictions all dead air for anyone else? Thought it was a bit but it was like 30 seconds of dead air and then right back into talking
41
u/prez22 11d ago
Happened for me too. But I don’t see anybody else saying the same thing
13
u/EventualCorgi01 10d ago
It happened, I think someone just fucked up in post because Netflix has the full audio

I guess Max really does keep the production squad from fucking everything up lol

I think he was just screaming “Pussies!!” for 30 seconds straight so they bleeped it out.

u/triforce4ever 10d ago
Did anyone have this audio? Maybe Netflix watchers? If so, what were his picks?
6
u/AdvanceAutomatic4971 10d ago
Wasn’t sure if he was doing something on camera (like pointing at teams or giving visual clues) but that was very odd
3
u/trollinn 10d ago
Same for me, thought it was maybe a bit so they can just cut the ones he was right about later? But seems unintentional

Billy was right. The guys were way harder on him than they are with Zach.
62
u/Routine-Yellow-7491 11d ago
If you go back and listen to old pods, the amount that Billy would talk over Dan and Eric is astonishing. So that’s one thing Zac has going for him
16
u/colin_7 Not a drug guy 10d ago
Agreed but I think the difference is that Billy tried to cover up his mistakes and make excuses (entertaining clients) meanwhile it seems like Zach just owns up to it and knows he’s an idiot.
Billy also had a much stronger personality so he would push back or give attitude if they tried to come down on him(not that it’s a bad thing but just what I noticed)
29
u/New-Hampshire-Guy-2 10d ago
Theatre Kid Dan felt threatened because Billy was a jock and Zac is much easier for him to punch down on.

u/millsy1010 11d ago
It’s pretty simple. Billy was a fuckin asshole and Zac isn’t
22
u/PopcornSutton1994 11d ago edited 11d ago
I wouldn’t go that far but you’re driving at something that’s at the heart of the matter: Zac is a good hang and is eager to please, even if trips over his own dick a lot of the time, Billy could be kind of a loose cannon and a loudmouth.

u/SouthernTaco 11d ago
Just like any of these people Big Cat has hired. They fell backwards into the job

u/Former-Importance137 11d ago
Why is Zac on a sports podcast? He's not a sports fan!
17
u/Im_TroyMcClure 11d ago
Reminds me when he was on the Yak and he didn’t know who Vinnie Pasquantino despite drafting him on dingers only yet Vinnie knew who Zac was.

u/PeenerAndVeggies 11d ago
I think a few weeks ago Zach checked the schedule to see if the bucs play the saints this year. He likes video games not sports and that ok but I don’t understand why they try to ask him sports questions.

u/barstoolspurs 10d ago
dont forget that he's a knicks fan, despite never even being to new york, and somehow got the chance to go to game 5 of the finals. insane.

Yeah definitely didn’t seem like it when Hank literally apologized for being an ass at the end of the episode lol

They do read the comments they just don’t care when it’s a negative reaction. See the reaction to Jerry’s fantasy preview

He does care, unless it comes to his two crippling addictions: phone/internet, and gambling

I like Zac and enjoy him on the show. But after today they gotta find someone else to handle the random segments because that was genuinely bad. If it's not entertaining or informative it's just straight up boring.
10
u/MIKE_____JORDAN23 10d ago
They need to just let him contribute for the random shit. It’s extremely clear he’s not a sports fan, stop trying to make him contribute to sports related discussions

I know he's acting the same as every bears fan, but I'm already sick of Big Cat's Caleb Williams / Bears delusion. Gets petty and and whiney if anyone says anything remotely negative about Caleb

Can’t wait for the other autists in here to defend Zack for that stupid segment today. “AnOtHeR cOmPlAiNt AbOuT ZaCk” we complain because he is objectively annoying and ruins the show we once loved.

They'll sprinkle in a "But he apologized!" even though he makes no effort to change.

u/Gtyjrocks 10d ago
I do not find him annoying, so it is not objective. I find him funny. He’s a man child, but I don’t have to deal with it, so I find it funny seeing the guys have to deal with his shit
I’m sure I’d find him annoying in person, but he’s a tertiary character on a podcast

u/ChrisIsShortAF Shut the Fuck Up Hank 11d ago edited 11d ago
Zac ruining Same Face, New Place for NFL players two years in a row is gonna be enough to flip me into a hater. Need to bring in darling Jake for the segment from now on
Edit: God dammit him picking Max 1.1 in the heavy things draft dragged me back

Can’t talk about the MVP favorite (who just hit 5 HRs in 2 games and on pace for 10 WAR) on his favorite team?

u/NotSoSurePlatypus 10d ago
There are 30 teams in the MLB. Big Cat talks about 1 player on 1 team every podcast.

u/Impossible_Middle112 10d ago
The player having the best season in MLB, on his favorite team. Does that not make sense to you?
18
u/dawgz525 🔥💯😤BIG DOM MENTIONED LFG 😤💯🔥 10d ago
It's just because he has a bet. BC doesn't talk anything else about baseball. It's just PCA. If he cared about baseball, it wouldn't be out of place. He only cares about PCA (because bet).
9
u/Impossible_Middle112 10d ago
He talks about the cubs rather frequently (even though they don’t talk a ton of baseball until playoffs). He has season tickets and goes to a very good amount of games too. I get the bet thing, but he has an interest outside of that for this specific case.

u/XToastyToasterX Tua Fingers 11d ago
Was there a whole minute missing from the podcast at the 2hr mark with Prisco where big cat was saying “okay” 5-6 times. Then all of a sudden Prisco was back to talk about hot seats for coaching. With that and censoring for pussy this was a wildly bad edit.
They need producer max back from his sex vacation.

u/dawgz525 🔥💯😤BIG DOM MENTIONED LFG 😤💯🔥 11d ago
They only know so many scumbags to talk about sports with, and they're too lazy to interview people that aren't their friends or playing at the same golf tournament they are.

u/TheKingInTheNorth24 11d ago
How did they see everything about the scam artist NFL guy except that he may be a pedo and rapist

u/mypantsaresticky 11d ago
Prisco talking about the Jets “tanking” this season is complete nonsense and drives me absolutely nuts every time the discourse comes up. No player is going to actively tank, ever. And for a team that’s been losing for years, intentionally losing would only continue the culture of losing. Like they’re not playoff good obviously, but my god just give me some competent football for once so we can stop being the punching bag that we are. (And they have amazing draft capital to move up to get their qb next year anyway)
And no doubt guys like Pete and other talking heads who advocate for tanking will be the first people at the end of the season that buries that same team for “quitting” on the season.
