My $10,000 bet on the Heat and Panthers was an investment with a 10% ROI

It was a, it was an investment. Big get. It wasn't a bet. The mission was always to make 10% ROI on your investment. It had never happened before in the history of the nba. And there's a reason why I didn't do this. Bet if it was a six game series, you need seven games. You, you need that extra cushion there to win.

The Heat won Game 7, so his investment did indeed cash for the promised 10% return.

South Florida officially owns Boston

Jake Marsh owns Henry Lockwood. I don't, I had all the momentum... But we, we lost a game seven at home to an eight seed in hockey. We lost a game seven at home to an eight seed in eight basketball. South Florida will say it. Own Boston.

Both the Bruins and Celtics lost Game 7s at home to #8 seeds from Florida in 2023. This is historically accurate.

Jalen Brown does not know how to dribble

Jalen Brown does not know how to dribble. I don't know if that's something he's gonna learn. And then, I mean Jason Tatum obviously I think Jason Tatum probably smells the best coming out of this run... But where do you go and Marcus Smart? I don't know. Do you keep rolling out the same thing year after year?

While Brown is an All-NBA player, his ball-handling deficiencies were a major factor in the Heat series and remain a common criticism.

The Celtics need to blow the team up

First is stop talking about that video because Celtics lost and it doesn't matter. First they, you gotta blow it up. You gotta blow it up. How many times can you get close? I mean, as a Celtics fan, I cannot stand watching this team get so close year after year and then falling short. It's bullshit.

The Celtics did NOT blow it up; they traded Marcus Smart but kept Tatum/Brown and won the title the next year (2024).

The Heat are a legitimate scare for the Nuggets in the Finals

The heater just a fucking good basketball team all around and they've got guys that step up when their stars aren't playing well. And I am, I am a little bit afraid of the heat in the finals as an, as a longtime three year Nuggets fan. They scare me just because they got, they got some bullshit going on.

The Nuggets handled the Heat fairly easily in 5 games, suggesting the 'scare' was overstated.

The Cowboys will pretend to be in on DeAndre Hopkins before he signs with the Bills

I bet you the Cowboys are going to make their fans believe that they're in the Hopkins running until like the very last second and then he is gonna sound with the bills.

DeAndre Hopkins eventually signed with the Tennessee Titans, not the Bills or Cowboys.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the GOAT because he achieved his physique with fewer steroids than modern bodybuilders

Basically Arnold started talking about his steroid use for the first time and talked about his cycle and basically he wasn't on that much steroids compared to a lot of guys today in body building, which just goes to show that he is the goat.

This is a subjective argument in the bodybuilding community, but Billy's claim is based on Arnold's own recently released data.

Nikola Jokic is the best basketball player in the world

I agree. I think he is the best basketball player and I think he's proving it every single night... I think he's proving it every single night. And you know, I go back, my first summer in Denver was also Nicole's first summer... In Las Vegas for Summer league in that, not one point in time in Vegas did I say, Hey, we have a franchise player.

Jokic won Finals MVP shortly after this and is widely considered the best in the world as of 2024.

LeBron James and Nikola Jokic are incredibly similar players

I think LeBron James and Nicole Yoic are very, very similar. Hmm. And when and the eye test you say hell no. Like one's a great athlete freakish and the other guy can't jump over the Sunday newspaper. But you get away from that. Both those guys, their iq, their unselfishness, their ability to make everyone better and impact the game.

Both are known for high basketball IQ, triple-doubles, and elite passing for their size. This is a common advanced scouting comparison.

Joel Embiid doesn't have the fight or leadership to lead the Sixers to a title

I don't know at this point this might just me be me talking angry shit because they're, they lost. But I think maybe Embiid could go too at this point. I don't think he's, he might be a winner. Yeah, yeah. He's awesome. I mean he's an unbelievable talent and... I just don't think he's like a, he doesn't have that fight. Like you said, he won't put the, he can't lead that team.

Embiid has yet to lead the Sixers past the second round as of 2024, though he remains an MVP-caliber player. His leadership continues to be debated.

Ja Morant is a modern-day Allen Iverson in every way

I'm almost thinking four Philly. The personality of Philly sports. I say a straight up for John Morant. Philly can handle a problematic like Alan iv. He's like Alan Iverson every way to me. Like the way he plays and his off, if there was social media when Alan Iverson was playing, he'd have flashed a gun. Oh for sure. He got caught with guns like all the time.

Both players are small, hyper-athletic guards who faced significant off-court scrutiny and league discipline.

Ohio is the most underrated state for comedy

I'd say the most underrated state for comedy is Ohio. Ohio just has a crazy amount of clubs for me and my like, like what I prefer with like audiences. It's all blue collar pretty much... Columbus and a, and a kill great club. Cleveland's got a great club. Cincinnati's got a great club.

Many comedians cite Ohio's 'Funny Bone' circuit as a staple for touring.

Roman Roy will have the happiest life of the Roy siblings after the Succession finale

I actually think the one guy that that is gonna have the happiest life after this is probably Roman because he's still got billions of dollars and he's just gonna go off and be like a drunk horny weird asshole on his own, which is what makes him the happiest. Yeah. He's doing that type of shit. He doesn't, he never actually wanted real power.

This is an interpretation of a fictional ending. It aligns with the show's theme of the pursuit of power being the siblings' downfall.

Connor Roy was the only sibling with a real relationship with Logan Roy

Connor, that scene when they had the virtual dinner with dad thing that they watched that scene was basically showing all of us that Connor was the only one who had a relationship with his father that meant anything. Everyone, all the other three kids were just transactional. Like they want to be pa like the, the the next in line.

The final episode features a video of Logan having a jovial dinner with his associates and Connor, while the 'main' three siblings are absent. This supports Big Cat's claim.
