I can probably bench 350 pounds now because of dad strength

I want to do like a full study on whether dad strength is a real thing. 350 probably. I'm going to throw that out there. 350. I'd say dad strength is a thing.

This is a subjective claim about 'dad strength' and a likely exaggeration of Big Cat's actual bench press capacity.

Zion Williamson is the most beloved athlete in the last 20 years

Is Zion Williamson the most beloved athlete in the last 20 years? The most beloved. I'm talking about everyone loves him... universallly sports fans it feels like everyone's rooting for [Zion].

While Zion was extremely popular in 2019, his reputation became complicated by injuries and off-court drama in subsequent years, making the 'most beloved' tag debatable.

Skip Bayless will be the first person to publicly hate on Zion Williamson

I think it's going to be Skip that starts the train with it. He's going to test the waters early in the season and be like, I think Zion's going to have trouble staying under 300 pounds.

Skip Bayless was indeed one of the first and most vocal mainstream critics of Zion Williamson, specifically targeting his weight and health.

I actually like the Bulls roster because everyone fits together

the bulls actually did something i agree with baby jordan a point guard yes another north carolina guy they've drafted a point guard when they needed a point guard the bulls roster i actually like it because everyone fits

The Coby White pick turned out to be one of the Bulls' better moves of that era, though the 'everyone fits' part was optimistic for a team that remained in the lottery for several years.

Space Jam 2 is a front to pay players off the books and avoid the NBA salary cap

Space Jam 2 is just an excuse to pay players off the book and avoid the salary cap. Palenka, he doesn't have to know anything about the salary cap. All he has to know is LeBron James' cell phone number and be like, hey, is the money good? Right. Okay, awesome. He's got a spreadsheet. Can you shave $10 million off Lola Bunny's contract and funnel it to Anthony Davis?

There is no proof this actually occurred, but it remains a legendary fan theory/satire about the Lakers' recruitment tactics.

VAR is ruining soccer and we should go back to just complaining about refs

My other fire fest... is robots. Especially VAR robots in the World Cup, in the Women's World Cup. It's ruining soccer. It is absolutely ruining it. I'm actually the mindset that I'm out on instant replay across the board. I think we've gone too far. Fuck the robots. We need to complain about refs.

This is an ongoing subjective debate in the soccer world. VAR remains highly controversial years later.

90 minutes is the perfect length for a comedy movie

And it's only like, it's like 90 minutes, which is, I think a perfect comedy movie time. Because whenever they try to do like... a hundred minutes, you know, there's going to be 15 minutes where they're like, this just stretches on. Seeing under 100 minutes, I'm instantly more likely to click it.

This is a subjective preference, though widely shared by film critics regarding the comedy genre.

Entourage's simple 'problem-solving' structure was hilarious and brilliant

I love what the problems were... in entourage... like if you think about, you know, you watch the episode and you think what was the problem they had to solve and it's like man fuck Vince they want you to do Aquaman and this other movie but we don't know if you can do both... wait guys we figured it out Vince can do both he's getting 50 million dollars.

This is a satirical analysis of the show's formula which has become the consensus view of the show's legacy.

Sports only drive bar business about 70 days a year

Sports will only fill a bar about 70 days a year... And a lot of people think, oh, but a sports bar, they come every night. That's not true. They don't come for every baseball game, only postseason. They don't come for every NBA game, only postseason...tops 70, 80 days.

This is a business statistic Taffer frequently cites based on his industry data.

Women over 34 need backs on barstools, while younger women prefer stools without them

When you have women over 34, you put her back on a barstool... Under 34, you don't. And the reason why is over 34, women get very sensitive about their asses... Under 34, I want you to spin around for interactivity.

This is a specific design philosophy from Taffer. While 'correct' in his methodology, it's a generalization of customer behavior.
