Salmonella is like the chicken pox; once you get it once, you can never get it again

If you get salmonella, then you don't have to worry about getting it again so you can eat cookie dough and stuff. No, because if you get salmonella, then you don't have to worry about getting it again.

Salmonella is a bacterial infection, not a virus like chicken pox, and you do not develop lifelong immunity to it.

The Sun is not actually hot because space is cold

There's a big conspiracy theory out there that the sun is not actually hot. ... If the sun is hot, why is space cold? ... The sun is probably the biggest fraud of all time if it's cold. ... If you're on the surface of the sun, you'd be fine. You could have a picnic on the surface of the sun.

The sun's surface temperature is approximately 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and its core is millions of degrees. Space is cold because it is a vacuum with few particles to hold heat.

Washing Oreos with water is a delicious way to eat them

Would you wash an Oreo with water? Yes. Always... No, try it. Next time you get some Oreos. Hank does. It's actually delicious.

If my accomplishments in the next 20 years don't exceed my NBA career, then I failed

I told somebody said listen if what I do in the next 20 years is not better than my last 20 then I failed... I wouldn't accomplish what I accomplished my last 20 years if I did not have this mentality to begin with.

Due to his untimely death, Kobe was unable to complete the 20-year window to fulfill this personal ambition. In the short time he had, he won an Oscar and built a successful media company, but the take is ultimately unresolvable.

Drew Lock will eventually make five Pro Bowls

I still believe in Drew Lock. I think I had a take that he would make five Pro Bowls on this show. So you're never wrong about a take until you give up on it. Let that be a lesson to the Giants fans out there. Yes. I still think Drew Lock could possibly make five Pro Bowls.

Drew Lock has zero Pro Bowls as of late 2024 and is a backup quarterback.

I won't believe the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce relationship is real until I see actual proof

The Swifties are at my door... for a clip on Monday that I, I said that I wanted to see until I, until I saw actual p and v, the relationship was not real to me. Let's just be clear, like it's similar to dinosaurs. Dinosaurs aren't real because I never saw them. So if I don't see, if I don't see sex, I don't think anyone's relationship is real in the world.

The relationship has been widely verified through numerous public appearances and Taylor Swift attending many games through the Super Bowl.

Time was invented by women to make men feel bad about their performance in bed

Time was just invented by women to make you think that you don't last long enough at sex.

I will get shot in the ass with a bow and arrow if the Bears win the Super Bowl

I also will get shot in the ass. If the bears were the Superbowl this year, I'll let Jake shoot me with a bone arrow.

The Bears finished with the worst record in the NFL (3-14) and did not win the Super Bowl.

Tim Tebow has a 0% chance of making the Jaguars roster

Zero [percent chance]. Zero. I'd go even lower if I could go.

Tebow was cut during training camp and never made the final 53-man roster.

I started an OnlyFans for my feet called Billy Feetball

I actually have a confession to make. I have an OnlyFans. Ever since I wore my toe shoes, people actually started DMing me asking me for feet pics. They were offering money and I actually set one up. It's Billy Feetball. I've been making... around under $1000 but over... I've made $800 around there.

Billy actually created the account and discussed the earnings on the show; it became a recurring bit.

I will cut off the tip of my pinky if the Texans win the Super Bowl

No, they're not going to win the Super Bowl. Guaranteed. I'll cut off a pinky... I'll cut off half a pinky. Nope. I'm going to cut off the top of my nub... I'm going to cut off the nail up if the Texans win.

The Houston Texans lost to the Indianapolis Colts in the Wild Card round, so Big Cat did not have to cut off his pinky.

Weather is not real and the Bills vs. Dolphins game will go over the total

Hank weather isn't real. Also over 44... This is going way over. I'm a big believer in, it's one thing I know... Saturday night. Great game weather doesn't matter. This is going way over.

The total score was 61 (32-29), easily clearing the 44-point total. Hank was right about the score, despite his absurd reasoning.

The popcorn debate will be featured on Mike and Mike within two weeks

I'm going to call my shot. The popcorn debate is going to be featured on Mike and Mike within the next two weeks. Anytime you can introduce a bracket, it's going to do wonders for water cooler talk.

The outcome is unknown, but it serves as a satirical commentary on ESPN's content style.

I will hit 8 out of 10 free throws if I practice for two weeks

Two weeks, I can hit eight out of ten. No problem. Yeah, I get my jumper wet. My jumper usually takes like five to six days to get wet. But if I take the time and I go to the gym and I get my shot back, I'll hit eight.

The official competition never formally concluded with verified stats, but Big Cat's basketball skills are famously inconsistent.

The coal miner fighter at Rough N Rowdy is the lock of the century

There was this one dude that I looked out into the crowd. He was getting signed up for the fight. He was wearing his coal mining uniform. He had coal dust all over his face. That dude is going to win. Yes. Lock of the century on the coal miner that just comes straight from work.

The outcome of a random undercard fighter at RnR 1 is difficult to verify without specific names, but it's a quintessential PMT trope.

LeBron James will not go to the Sixers if they win the title this year

The Sixers don't want to win this year... if the Sixers win this year, then there's no chance LeBron goes to Philly. LeBron James is many things now, but he's not a ring chaser.

LeBron didn't go to Philly anyway; he went to the Lakers. The Sixers also didn't win the title.

I want to reach 200 pounds for the first time in my life

I'm going to gain eight pounds in January. Because I'm eight pounds away from 200. I've never been 200 in my life.

Unknown if PFT reached exactly 200 lbs in Jan 2019.
