Brooks Koepka will win the British Open

Brooks Koepka is back and he's going to win the British Open. He's killing it. He's three under. He's not in the lead. Two strokes back. But his caddy is basically cheating because he's from Portrush.

Brooks Koepka finished T4. Shane Lowry won the 2019 Open Championship.

Sergio Garcia will never win another major championship

Sergio Garcia from España... he's never going to put it together in major championships, so it looks like [Koepka] is in the catbird seat.

As of 2024, Sergio Garcia has not won another major championship since the 2017 Masters.

No amateur golfer has ever actually shot a 13 on a single hole

My theory is that nobody except for professional golfers have ever shot a 13 right? That's true because you just pick it up after a while.

While technically unprovable, in standard amateur play, most golfers would invoke a 'max score' or 'pick up' long before 13, making it effectively correct in spirit.

Junior Mints are S-tier because of their scarcity

The one thing I like about Junior Mints, I don't think you can get it everywhere... you go into even a liquor store, you can get a Snickers bar... it's just too easy to get. I like the fact you got to work a little for your Junior Mints.

Bronny James Jr. is a 'buy' stock for future greatness

This is the anti-pander pick, Bronny James Jr. I'm going to squat on that one. I'm going to buy that stock.

Bronny James was eventually drafted by the Lakers in 2024. While 'greatness' is still pending, making the NBA as a second-round pick is a significant achievement, though many would argue his career has been underwhelming relative to the hype.

Bronny James Jr. will be a bust

You are forgetting that this is all about a mountain of greatness. Not predicting future greatness. I still went with Bronny James Jr. Plus, he's going to be a bust.

Bronny James' NBA career is in its infancy as of 2024. However, his limited production in college and as a rookie has led many critics to lean towards Hank's take.

The Clippers are currently a better team than the Lakers

I think the Clippers are the better team right now... one, their pieces fit together... all the role players know their roles... when we look at the Lakers, we see questions all over... Frank Vogel, when we know if LeBron had his druthers, Ty Lue would be the coach.

The Lakers won the 2020 championship while the Clippers blew a 3-1 lead in the second round. The Lakers proved to be the superior team that season.

The Lakers will win a championship within the next two years

I think the Lakers will win it [a championship] within the next two years. I was going to say that. I think the Lakers will win it within the next two years.

The Lakers won the NBA Championship in October 2020, well within the two-year window.

LeBron James will finish his career with only four championships

Over under LeBron James championships for his career, four and a half. I would go under. I think he wins one more. One more.

LeBron James won his 4th title in 2020. As of 2024, he remains at 4 championships, making the 'under 4.5' take correct.

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving will not win a championship together

If you put a gun to my head and said, will they [Durant and Irving] win a championship, I think I would say no. But I hope they do, and I know they're capable of doing it.

The Durant/Irving era in Brooklyn ended in early 2023 with both players being traded. They never won a championship, or even reached a Conference Final, together.

Steph Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history

Steph Curry's the best shooter in NBA history. Who said it before me? I think I was the first person that I heard say it.

While claiming to be the 'first' is unverifiable, Curry is universally recognized as the greatest shooter ever.

Pepsi was the sixth largest military power in the world in 1989

In 1989, the cash strapped Soviet Union paid Pepsi with 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate and a destroyer in exchange for three billion dollars worth of Pepsi, causing Pepsi to become the sixth largest military power, at least Navy wise, in the world.

This is a true historical fact; for a brief period in 1989, Pepsi did possess a fleet of decommissioned Soviet vessels before selling them for scrap.

Laptops should be abolished

If you could change any one thing in today's world back to how it was when you were in your 20s, what would it be? I would go without laptops. Get rid of laptops. I can't figure out a laptop. I barely can figure out a phone.
