A bomb disposal expert is the ideal person to be a golfer's mental coach

Having a bomb disposal, that's probably the best person in the world to talk to about remaining calm. Rom wanted to fix his temper because he has all these outbursts... and the bomb disposal guy was like, let's just not talk about golf. Let's just talk about your normal temper.

I will drive my car into a ravine or off a cliff if Tiger Woods wins another Masters

I will drive my car into a ravine on purpose if Tiger Woods wins another Masters. I'm gonna go ahead and say there's no chance that Tiger wins another masters. If it means that Tiger wins another masters, I will, I will drive off a cliff.

Tiger Woods has not won a Masters since this take was made and his physical condition continues to decline, though he has not retired.

If you knock a fighter's dad out, you are allowed to mock that fighter's son

Israel Adesanya slept Pereira... then maybe like the most coldhearted move of all time mock Pereira's son who was crying watching his dad get knocked out. I loved it. I'll say it. I love it. I know that people will probably be like, oh that's fucked up. But... if you knock somebody's dad out, you're allowed to make fun of that person's son.

The Dallas Mavericks made the correct decision to tank while still mathematically alive

The Mavs were still alive to make the playing game... and they're like, fuck it. We'd rather keep our own pick... I know that people are mad about the Mavs move, but if you're trying to keep your pick winning that game and potentially having a Hail Mary... and then having to win those games to get swept, like I'm not, if I were a Mavs fan, I'd be fine with it.

The Mavericks successfully kept their pick, which became Dereck Lively II, a key piece of their 2024 Finals run, validating the strategy.

Kyrie Irving is getting better at breaking up franchises in record time

Kyrie skipped his exit interview with the Mavericks. Kyrie decided he was done with the season. So Kyrie kind of just congrats to Kyrie. He's getting better at breaking up franchises in record time.

Kyrie eventually re-signed with the Mavericks and helped lead them to the 2024 NBA Finals, making this take incorrect as the partnership became very successful.

The 2023 NBA postseason is Chris Paul's championship to lose

I still think that it's Chris Paul's. This is his postseason to lose. If he doesn't get a championship, it's like, what are you doing Chris Paul? This is the one time that you have.

The Phoenix Suns lost in the Western Conference Semifinals to the Denver Nuggets, and Chris Paul was traded in the offseason.

The upcoming Harry Potter TV show will suck

The movie sucks. The show's probably gonna suck too. That's my take.

The show is still in pre-production and hasn't aired yet.

Brooks Koepka is officially back as a top-tier golfer

Is Brooks officially back? Is he back? Yes. A hundred percent. It was good to talk to him Friday... he's healthy and if he's healthy he's rom strong. Brooks is strong too, man. Unequivocally Brooks Koepka back.

Brooks Koepka won the PGA Championship just one month after this take, officially cementing his return to the top of the sport.

The chicken salad on wheat is the high-key veteran move at the Augusta media center

Chicken salad on wheat. Chicken salad on wheat is low-key, high-key the go-to. The vets know that. So go chicken salad on the Honey wheat... that's the one you want.

I will get a tattoo of the lottery ball machine if Hank passes me in total wins by the end of the next football season

If Hank, what did you agree to? If you don't get the lottery ball before the end of next football season, I will get a tattoo of the lottery ball machine. But if I pass you in total victories by the end of next football season, you will get a lottery ball machine [tattoo].

By the end of the 2023 football season (Feb 2024), Hank still had zero lottery ball wins, meaning he lost the bet.
