The Nuggets will win the series against the Lakers in six games

I still think Nuggets and six, if [Jokic] can dominate like he dominated tonight and I actually don't see a reason why he wouldn't be able to as insane as his game was tonight.

The Nuggets swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference Finals.

Victor Wembanyama is probably not that good because he is too skinny and too French

I did just go straight into like, he's probably not even that good... I might be on Victor Wembanyama is too big, too skinny. And also Rudy Gobert is would be his like, you know, Frenchman and so maybe what's the best dog he can have in him? A French poodle?

Wembanyama lived up to the hype, winning NBA Rookie of the Year and having one of the best rookie seasons in history.

The NHL conference final matchups are absolute duds

Hot seat to have a couple. Yeah. First one is NHL. The conference finals. Absolute dud. Matchups. Absolute dud. It's Dallas verse Vegas. Carolina versus Florida.

The Panthers and Golden Knights advanced to the final; the series were competitive, but the ratings were lower than years with major markets.

Aaron Judge is cheating and stealing signs again

My other hot seat was Aaron Judge got caught cheating, stealing signs again, Yankees back at it again.

While Judge's eyes moving was caught on camera, it was never proven to be illegal sign stealing; it was widely attributed to tipping by the pitcher.

The US Men's National Team will win the 2026 World Cup because of Folarin Balogun

We got a big defection... Folarin Balogun. He's on the arsenal, he's on the arsenals and he's a striker. And we don't have a striker... so it's coming home 2026. Hell, yes. Way to go, dude.

The 2026 World Cup has not yet occurred.

I choked away the Masters with a four-shot lead

I'd characterize that as a choke. Damn. It was pretty bad. Yeah, I mean, I mean, come on, you got a four shot lead. All you gotta do. I was playing good and just choked it away.

Koepka did lead after 54 holes and failed to win, which fits the standard definition of a sports 'choke'.

LIV and PGA Tour players don't actually have bad blood with each other

There's no bad blood. All everybody's so chill about it, you know, that everyone understands. Right. It's a business at the end of the day... I think it was more like media driven than there is anything. But everybody's cool with each other.

While some specific players had public spats, the eventual merger announcement shortly after this interview confirmed a move toward reconciliation.

Patrick Cantlay will win his first major this week at the PGA Championship

The guy who I really liked this week who would be a bit of a snoozer champion is Patrick Cantlay. Oh, I feel like this, yeah, I know you guys didn't want to hear that, but stole Tiger's Caddy and I feel like he's gonna win his first major this week.

Cantlay did not win the 2023 PGA Championship; Brooks Koepka won.

Charlie Woods will eventually play as a professional golfer

I'll say yes. I think he will. He will be a pro. You know, being a pro in golf is not that difficult... But the spirit of the question obviously being Will he? Yeah, I think he'll make a run. I mean, all signs point to him being definitely like a division one level player and he'll get a chance.

Charlie Woods is still a teenager and currently playing high school and junior level golf.

Putting on deodorant before going to the gym is a sign that you are cheating on your partner

It's actually, if he were to put on deodorant before going to a gym... that would be a sign he's cheating on you. Be like, why are you putting on deodorant before you're going to get sweaty?

This is an inherently subjective behavioral theory.
