I invented the wrap sandwich in 1981

A couple of the really school reporters up there decided that they'd get their friends at the Wall Street Journal to do a national search to find out who had a wrap sandwich on the menu before 1981. And guess what? They couldn't find anyone. And they said I invented the wrap.

Fact Claim Food Hot Subjective

While Valentine is a major proponent of the wrap through his restaurant, various cultures have used similar food wraps for centuries. In terms of the American 'wrap sandwich' category, he is often credited, but it is not a settled historical fact.

The Houston Astros weren't just banging on garbage cans—they were using NASA technology

If the Astros got this technology from NASA that was going to steal these signs and relay them to the dugout on internet wifi... believe me guys, they wouldn't be banging on a garbage drum and give the hitter signal. It had to be very high-tech guys.

Hot Take Baseball Scorching

The MLB investigation officially found the banging on garbage cans was the primary method, though electronic buzzers were widely rumored but never proven.

I saw a UFO above Shea Stadium and another over the Colorado River

I saw a UFO once... I believe you. I saw one during a press conference. Yeah, and we stopped at Chase [Shea] Stadium. Everyone looked, everyone pointed. I said to the press, 'Did you see that?'... I think there's stuff up there.

Fact Claim Life Hot Subjective

The existence of UAPs is now acknowledged by the government, but the specific Shea Stadium event is unverified.
