I cucked Coach Cal, Coach K, and Bill Self by signing RJ Hampton to the New Zealand Breakers

I think it's safe to say that we cucked the shit out of Coach Cal, Coach K, and Bill Self all in one fell swoop. We made a damn strong offer, Big Cat. A damn strong offer.

The New Zealand Breakers did successfully sign RJ Hampton over those college programs, though the influence of the PMT hosts on the actual recruitment is the satirical part.

RJ Hampton's brand will be fine because we will be the number one RJ Hampton podcast on planet Earth

Guess what, Jeff Goodman? His brand is going to be fine because we're going to be the number one RJ Hampton podcast on planet Earth.

RJ Hampton went on to be a first-round pick and the PMT platform did provide massive exposure for him throughout the year.

The Lakers are in a classic rats-on-a-sinking-ship scenario

What this tells me is that this is a classic rats on a sinking ship scenario with the Lakers. Because you're right. Nobody was spared. Everybody got a little taste of some vengeance from somebody else. So everyone inside that front office is talking.

The 2019 Lakers front office was famously dysfunctional, leading to Magic Johnson's abrupt resignation and multiple negative reporting cycles.

The Domino's Pizza Tracker is fake

My hot seat is the Domino's tracker... Some big J journalist, independent journalist, went in, did some research, and was like stalking, would put in an order, and would follow the restaurant, follow the driver, and make sure that the tracker was up to date. And it's not. No. He foiled it. He foiled Domino's.

Domino's has admitted that the tracker is not 100% literal and relies on manual clicks by employees that don't always align with the exact physical state of the pizza.

I am sick of The Rock posting relatable cheat meals while he's in peak physical condition

I'm putting The Rock on my hot seat because I'm sick of him posting his cheat meals. Being like, look how relatable this is, guys. I don't know if you noticed this, but like every month, Rock will post a huge pancake or something. And be like, damn, look at this cheat meal I'm about to devour. Being like, everyone out there, you know what it's like to eat like shit. Yeah, Rock, we eat like shit every fucking day. You're not cool because you eat a big pancake once every 30 days and you can deadlift 1,000 pounds and you spend your life in a fucking gym.

This is an inherently subjective opinion on personal branding.

Intermittent fasting is the easiest thing in the world

No, [intermittent fasting] is the easiest thing in the world... You just don't eat for longer in the morning and a little bit longer before bed... you have 12 hours that you should not eat throughout the day. During your nighttime sleep cycle, say you have your dinner and your dinner ends at 7 p.m., you should not have anything in your body except water.

The ease of fasting is subjective, but Efron is accurately describing the basic protocol.

I can get Big Cat a six-pack in one summer of training

If you come and spend a summer out here in Cali, how about I could show you guys? [Can you get me shredded in a summer?] Yeah. [Six-pack?] In a summer of training? Yeah.

Big Cat did not get a six-pack over the following summer (or any summer since).

My goal was never to play college basketball; I just wanted to be a pro

Ultimately, my dream was never to play college basketball. That was not my main goal. My main goal was always to play in the NBA.

Hampton's actions (skipping college) verify that his priority was the professional path.

If I had chosen to go to college, I would have picked Kansas

No, if I'm being serious, I would have went to the University of Kansas.

This is a statement of personal preference that only the speaker can verify, but it's a definitive fact about his decision process at the time.

Eli Manning is probably a great French kisser because his mouth stays open all the time

He probably actually is a pretty good French kisser because his mouth just stays open at all times.

This is a comedic assertion that cannot be factually verified.

USC is in California; South Carolina should stop calling themselves USC

I can't stand when South Carolina people refer to themselves as USC. That's the worst. You're not USC. USC is in California. I'm sorry. It's just the truth.

This is a matter of institutional branding and public perception, making it subjective.
