Brian Kelly is a winner and will have an awesome staff at LSU

Brian Kelly wins everywhere he goes... I think Kelly's a winner. And I think he's going to have an awesome staff. I think there's always a little hesitancy when you're from there [the South]... but he's a winner.

Kelly won 10 games in 2022 and 2023, reaching the SEC Championship in his first year. While not a championship yet, he has maintained his 'winner' status.

Nebraska would have played Georgia closer than Michigan did in the 2021-22 CFP

They [Nebraska] probably would've played Georgia within like eight points. I swear to God. I swear to God.

Nebraska was historically good for a 3-9 team, but Georgia was one of the most dominant defenses in history; assuming a 3-win team plays them closer than a playoff team is extreme hyperbole.

The NBA should get rid of the three-point line

I think they should get rid of the three really... I think much like the shot clock, where they were like enough of this... I think he should get rid of the three really.

This is a subjective rule-change suggestion that has not been implemented and is unlikely to be.

Three-point specialists are dying because every player is now a shooter

Three point specialists are dying. That's what I'm saying. I'm worried about the three point specialists. When you have guys like Jabari Smith and Paolo [Banchero] and Chet Holmgren... all the guys that are that big, that are now [shooting]. It's stupid.

The 'specialist' role has indeed evolved into '3-and-D' or versatile bigs, making the pure 'specialist' less common.

Kobe Bryant has the strongest connection to his city of any modern athlete

I guess you could say Jeter, but that doesn't feel as tight as the Kobe thing. It feels like 1990 degree Mickey Mantle shit... There's not five people in modern sports that are more connected to the way a city loves them than Kobe and LA.

This is a subjective assessment of cultural impact.

Best man speeches must be five minutes or less

I think you have to keep it like five minutes or less. I think anyone who goes longer than that is... it's three to five minutes.

This is a matter of etiquette and social consensus.

You should never use notes for a best man speech

I think you have to speak. I think the notes make you freaked out... I think no notes is the way to go... If you're up reading notes, you lose already because everyone's like, wait, you need notes for this?

Purely a matter of opinion on public speaking style.

The 'Hangover Theory': Regret and life-change desires disappear by Tuesday

When you're hungover... it fucking goes away. It goes away. It doesn't feel like it's going to go away... and you're like, should I take a foreign language? Maybe I finally learn an instrument... And then by Tuesday, you're like, what a fucking weirdo I was for 36 hours.

While not a scientific fact, it is a widely recognized psychological phenomenon in social culture.

Being the 'Cooler Guy' is a better social strategy than being the 'Grill Guy'

Be the cooler guy, not the grill guy. That's a big one. The grill guy in any outing or barbecue or anything sucks... Cooler guy gets to control the beer. Also, if you can keep everything cold, everyone's going to be like, oh my God, you did a great job.

This is a subjective social preference.

In a bar fight, ask 'what did you just say?' then punch them while they repeat it

If you do find yourself in a fight... the guy says something to you, ask and be like, what'd you just say? And then as he starts to repeat himself, that's when you punch him because he's focused on remembering what he just said... He never expects the punch in that situation.

Tactically, catching someone off guard while they are speaking is a known element of physical combat, though not endorsed as 'correct' behavior.
