My cross-country road trip changed my life

It unlocked something in my brain that I don't think will ever go away. We just discover a lot about myself, which... [the road trip] saved, it changed my life.

This is entirely subjective to Billy's personal growth, but the hosts treat it with skepticism.

We are officially boycotting the Olympics

I was back in the week as the Olympics... we're boycotting. Except the women's hockey, the women's hockey team we're supporting because they're friends of ours and we coach them. But we're boycott.

The 'boycott' is a joke and wasn't a real stance from Barstool as a whole.

Five years is the official amount of time for a meme to become funny again

It's the perfect time for it to come full circle. Cause we've, we've predicted, we've had this conversation off air many times. Like when do you think Harambe jokes are going to be funny again? I think five years is now officially the amount of time when something can become fun again.

While comedy is subjective, the five-year 'nostalgia' cycle for memes is a recognized phenomenon in internet culture.

Athletes only get into fights at 'nightclubs,' never at 'bars'

Have you ever noticed that when it's an athlete getting into a bar fight, it's always a nightclub. Yeah. And it's never like, they never just say like at a bar it's like at, at a local nightclub establishment.

Media framing frequently uses 'nightclub' for high-profile athletes to add gravity or descriptive detail to the scene.

Coach K is a hypocritical fraud for refusing halftime media interviews

Whoa. Are you, are you just realizing now that huge [hypocrite] fraud? Well, no. Jake is just realizing now because it's about halftime interview with the media. He never does halftime because he plays, plays on the roof. That's crazy. Like I understand he's a legend for whatever, but just take the interview.

Coach K famously avoided many standard media tropes during his tenure, which is a matter of record.

Mike McDaniel will save Tua Tagovailoa's career

Dolphins hired a new head coach, Mike McDaniel. Watch that clip of his, he seems very media friendly guy, big personality. He's going to save Tua [Tagovailoa].

Under Mike McDaniel, Tua Tagovailoa led the NFL in passer rating in 2022 and yards in 2023, largely validating this take.

The NFC is wide open for the next few years

Tom Brady just retired. Aaron Rodgers may go to the AFC who the fuck knows where he's going to end up. Like the NFC is going to be wide open for a little bit.

Brady eventually unretired, but the NFC power dynamic did shift as several Hall of Fame QBs left the conference or retired shortly after.

Bert 'Be Home' Blyleven is my best nickname ever

Bert Blyleven cause that's 'Be Home' Blyleven. Because you don't have to see... a kid and you heard from your parents 'be home by 11.' And as a parent you've told your kid 'be home by 11.' You don't have to be a genius to figure these out. That's probably the best.

This is subjective to Berman's own preference for his creations.

The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock band of all time

If you're asking me a rock and roll honest question would have to be the [Rolling] Stones. I just think I would, because they're still doing it. And the songs from the sixties, they still could come out today. They they're, you know, 'Under My Thumb'...

Subjective music opinion.
