Donald Trump would beat Joe Biden in a golf match even while giving him 20 strokes

Trump made a million dollar wager in a 18 hole golf match and he's gonna give him 20 strokes... like if Joe Biden doesn't accept Hot Seat. No, but like if he does accept, he's gonna get smoked.

The match never happened as Biden withdrew from the presidential race shortly after.

The Marshawn Lynch and Gavin Newsom podcast marks the top of the podcast bubble

Marshawn Lynch, Gavin Newsom and Doug whatever, Doug... Having a podcast together is the very sign that the podcast bubble is about to burst.

The podcasting industry has seen significant consolidation and cooling since its peak, making this a prescient observation.

One bagel is never satisfying; a backup bagel is essential for breakfast

One and a half bagels is usually the perfect amount... One bagel is never fully satisfying. A backup bagel is the most important. What about bacon, egg and cheese. Great. You need to finish it off with something. Keep it off with a bagel.

Subjective food preference.

I have zero chance of winning the American Century Championship this year

I wish I had used steroids during my MLB career

I look back now, I go, fuck, I wish I would've done 'em. Yeah. To be honest with you. I wish I would've because I, I don't think I would've, I I think I would've gained velocity. You know, I, I, I think in that aspect, so with my ability to throw strikes, I think it would've made me a lot better.

Purely hypothetical and subjective.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred hates baseball and is trying to mess it up

Rob Manfred. I just, I think he hates baseball. So he's just screwing it up while his tenure's still going. And he's gonna see how much he could fuck it up. So wait, what? What guy? Guy, they had a, they should have booted him years ago.

This is a subjective opinion on leadership performance.

MLB should fire all analytic guys and get rid of the pitch clock

I would get rid of the clock. Okay. I get, I'd get every analytic guy outta there. All the nerds. Drop 'em off in the middle of the lake and let 'em swim in... they're the guys that are making all, all the, all the calls and everything... a computer doesn't tell you it doesn't have a heartbeat.

Adam Thielen and he's, he's a sleeper to win this. I, on on the 10th hole today, he hit, he hit a little iron and he hit about 300 down the middle. I went, oh boy.

Adam Thielen finished tied for 4th in the 2024 tournament, validating him as a top contender/sleeper.
