UConn is a wagon and their dominance is a foregone conclusion

UConn is a wagon and that might be the kiss of death cuz I'm the minus sign of King and I'm about to lay a brick on Yukon... So it might be a foregone conclusion that Yukon's gonna win this.

UConn won the 2023 National Championship, beating San Diego State 76-59 on April 3, 2023.

San Diego State players struggle with free throws because they are too muscular from living on the beach

My theory on San Diego State... They're both too jacked up. Yeah, because they live on the beach in San Diego. So they're like, I gotta have guns swell when I go outside all the time. They're too strong and they don't have any touch on their fellow shots.

The take is inherently subjective and satirical, connecting free throw touch to beach culture.

UConn will be officially crowned a 'Blue Blood' if they win the 2023 championship

We're officially crowning Yukon of Blue Blood if they win this championship. Right. Okay. Yes. I think I I don't know how you can argue otherwise they'd have five, they'd have five championships in the last 24 years.

UConn won the title, and the discussion surrounding their blue blood status became a major media talking point following the win.

The 'class' debate in women's basketball is actually good for the sport

I actually think this is a win though for women's basketball because seeing all these people upset online, that's just fans upset that their team lost. And if they're upset, their team lost, they cared enough. And that's good for women's basketball because at the end of the day, it's kind of like... how this game works. If you are a sports fan, you are psycho.

This is a subjective take on the cultural reception of a sports moment.

I will lose 20 pounds by Memorial Day

Memorial Day. Memorial Day, losing 20 pounds by Memorial Day Max. We've, we've done this before, but we're doing it for real this time... I just want it to be on the record... No, because by doing that, that means it's officially on.

Max notoriously failed this weight loss goal, which was discussed in later episodes.

Brooks Koepka is the hottest golfer in the world heading into the Masters

My, who's back of the week is Brook's Koepka. Yes. Brooks. Shout out Brooks. He won. He's hot. He's the hottest golfer in the world going into masters week. He's back. He won on the live tour. He battled off Patrick Reed to finish first place in Orlando.

Koepka finished T2 at the 2023 Masters, leading for much of the weekend before Jon Rahm won. He then won the PGA Championship in May 2023, validating that he was indeed 'back'.

The Lakers are a legitimate threat as they climb the Western Conference standings

The Lakers... they are climbing up the west... Seeds four through 10 right now are separated by four and a half games. Damn. And Lakers are right there at eight. Are the Lakers back? They have LeBron and AD.

The Lakers reached the Western Conference Finals in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, proving they were indeed a threat.

Forte will be the Kentucky Derby favorite and has a great chance to win

I love Forte. I've watched Forte a few times... I think he'll be the Kentucky Derby favorite, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, he's gotta win today. But yeah, I got a good feeling about Forte. Yeah. That's, that's my pick.

Forte was the betting favorite but was a late scratch on race day (May 6, 2023).

Bobby Knight once had his players stop a scripted play for the movie 'Blue Chips' because he didn't want to lose the possession

The director come in the huddle and he says, all right, we need about 15, 20 minutes to set up the last play. So Penny Hardaway is gonna throw the lob past the Shaquille O'Neill and then they win... As we're leaving the huddle to go play defense. Coach Knight says, 'Don't let him get it. Grab him.' So they run the play... We grab Shaq, the ball goes out of bound and he's yelling the director's yelling. Cut, cut, cut.

This is a firsthand account from someone on the set. It is widely accepted as a true anecdote from the filming of Blue Chips.
