Having PFT and I as caddies will be a huge advantage for Brooks Koepka

I honestly think that having me and PFT on the bag is going to be a huge advantage for [Brooks Koepka] for at least like the first hole until Big Cat and I get too tired. It's gonna inevitably ask him to just carry his own club. It's going to be an emotional jolt for about 15 minutes for him.

The match (The Match: Brooks vs. Bryson style but with Dave) took place, and while Brooks won easily, the caddies weren't the deciding factor.

US Soccer will make the World Cup this year

I'm not down with the negativity from Big Cat. I'm not negative. Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa. When was I negative? I said it would be a shame if we didn't make the World Cup. I think that this is the year. This is a year for US Soccer to... make the World Cup.

The USMNT successfully qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Smoking an analog cigarette is cool as fuck

Smoking a cigarette. Yeah. Smoking a cigarette looks cool. Very harmful. I don't care if it's vape these days, but smoking, smoking, smoking an analog cigarette is cool as fuck. It's cool. It is.

Whether smoking is 'cool' is entirely subjective.

Kansas is the worst Power Five team in college football

Oh, that's a good question. But it's Kansas. [The worst power five team].

Kansas went 2-10 in 2021. While bad, several other P5 teams (like Vanderbilt at 2-10 or Arizona at 1-11) were statistically similar or worse.

A Group of Five team will never make the College Football Playoff in the four-team format

No, a Group of Five team... as long as the playoffs stays at four teams, a Group of Five teams never get again, period. I don't care who they play or what we have to remember who put the playoff together. Yeah. The Power Five. Why did they put it together? For money. They are not going to willfully share that money with a Cincinnati or a Boise State.

Cincinnati became the first Group of Five team to make the CFP later that very season (2021).

Wisconsin will beat Penn State by double figures

I got a take that I'm trying to get out in front of here... Penn State, Wisconsin, Wisconsin wins by double figures. James Franklin hot seat. True or false.

Penn State actually beat Wisconsin 16-10 on September 4, 2021.

James Franklin would be magnificent as the head coach at USC

I think James Franklin would be magnificent at USC because the one thing that USC, that you really need to take advantage of if your goal is to win national titles... you need a guy who's really good to try to bring that talent in like Pete Carroll was doing... I think James Franklin is one of the guys who's capable of doing it to be blunt.

Franklin stayed at Penn State, and USC hired Lincoln Riley instead.

Muhammad Ali is the most famous and most loved person on the planet

Muhammad Ali is the most famous and the most loved person on the planet. I'd want to know, I'd want to know how that happened.

Ali is undoubtedly one of the most famous figures in history, though 'most loved' is subjective.

I am going to partially ditch wearing my sunglasses on camera

I told him something that I've been thinking about for a while here, which is the sunglasses at, at some point can be a big hindrance to me... So I'm trying to think of ways to partially lose the glasses. And I'm also thinking that people are going to be pissed when they see my eyes, at least for a little bit. Not because they're like free guys. I think I'm a pretty normal looking guy.

PFT did eventually start appearing without glasses on certain broadcasts and social media clips, though he still uses them for the main podcast.
