Peyton Manning national championships at Tennessee zero... Also I beat Florida once. He never beat Florida people forget [Peyton Manning] never beat Florida.

Peyton Manning famously never beat the Florida Gators during his four years at Tennessee (1994–1997).

George W. Bush should have been the Commissioner of Baseball

There was a writer who suggested that they bring George W. Bush back to be the commissioner of baseball, which I think should have been his job from the get-go. He should have never gotten the ball. He should have just he would have dominated being a commissioner of baseball. There have been no fucking tie in an All-Star Game, there have been no lockout if George W. Bush was commish.

This is a subjective historical 'what if' scenario.

Every real meal must include meat

I just think you need to have meat if you're eating a meal. There has to be meat. I'm trying to think of what meal I would eat without meat... mac and cheese I think is better without meat, but every single meal is better with meat.

The definition of a 'meal' is subjective.

Cheese pizza and mac and cheese are essentially the exact same thing

I just realized it cheese pizza and mac and cheese are essentially the exact same thing. Correct? So is yeah given to you differently cooked harder.

They share primary ingredients but are structurally and culinarily distinct dishes.

Opening a bar with your best friend is the quickest way to end the friendship

Most stories that take a turn start with the sentence 'and then we opened a bar together.' It's like, and then we opened a bar together and everything in our life like as friends as brothers went downhill. If you want to hate your best friend, open a bar with him.

This is a subjective generalization about business and friendship.

Tearing twins apart at birth causes permanent psychological separation anxiety

I think the reason they didn't open up the study is that they realize that by tearing twins apart actually made them crazy. Remember when they said they had separation anxiety? I think that's what they found out... you tear apart two twins they get fucked up from it.

The documentary 'Three Identical Strangers' explicitly highlights that all three boys suffered from separation anxiety and mental health issues attributed to their separation.

Ages 21 through 26 are the 'prime stains' years for a man's clothing

I would expect that at 23 years old, you would have some just random stains on you... I'd say if you're 23, I would expect that to. It's like 21 through 26 is that's Prime stains.

This is a subjective lifestyle standard.

NBA 'Aura' rings prove that the wealthy have access to secret medical technology

Why doesn't everybody have a titanium ring that will tell you 3 days in advance if you're going to get [the virus]? It essentially confirms what we all knew but didn't fully know that rich people just have medicine and technology that the rest of us can't have access to that will keep them alive forever.

While Oura rings exist and were used, the claim that they keep the wealthy alive forever is satirical exaggeration.

Coaches leaving Michigan to coach at Ohio State is an act of betrayal

You got coaches from that locker room leaving there and going to coach at Ohio State. I know back in the day that it would never fucking happen. It's like betrayal... every man has a rivalry and there's so much that went into that.

Whether staff movement is 'betrayal' is a matter of fan perspective.

A gorilla would beat a grizzly bear in a fight if it could make a weapon

I would agree with [the grizzly bear] unless the gorilla is in an environment where he can learn to make weapons... I'm gonna leave the guns next to him right before the fight... One in the Chamber... guess who's closer to human? Gorilla.

A hypothetical fight between a bear and a tool-using gorilla is speculative.

A grizzly bear would easily defeat a gorilla because of its massive weight advantage

I researched this very intensely and a gorilla can only get up to like 300 or 400 pounds. Whereas a grizzly bear can get up to 1,500 pounds depending on the subspecies... get the big grizzly bear... the Kodiak bear can get up to 2,000 pounds.

Kodiak bears can reach 1,500 lbs, but 2,000 lbs is rare. However, the weight advantage over a gorilla (400-500 lbs) is factual.
