I am officially anti-biopic; the industry needs to let stories finish before buying the rights.

I've taken a bit of a stance against Biopics. I'm somewhat antibio pic. I just think enough. We've done 'em all and people are starting to get the rights to stories before they're even done happening. Like the Luigi Mangione thing happens... and then it's like someone gets the rights the next day. Let the story at least end before you buy the rights to it and start casting someone.

This is a subjective opinion about artistic and industry trends.

The Lakers have become a 'novelty situation' because of the Bronny James drafting.

The second we drafted [Bronny], I knew, I was like, damnit, we've just signed up for like a novelty situation. Which I'm happy for 'em, but like, they got the photos already. They're on the court doing the dad son hug some passes. I think maybe they just are waiting to get an oop, and then that'll be it.

Whether a team's strategy is a 'novelty' or a genuine competitive move is subjective.

The 2020 Lakers Bubble championship counts the most because it removed all distractions and travel advantages.

If anything, 2020 counts the most. Listen, you take out all the distractions and you just boil that game down to who's truly the best. Everyone plays on the same court, you get no traveling for the guy who's in his late thirties. No traveling. It's tougher on those young guys; they don't have families they had to deal with missing. The older guys have to deal with that. If anything, that was just a testament.

The 'value' of a championship is entirely subjective and a matter of fan debate.

The Patriots were once a proud franchise, but now they are not so proud.

Once proud would be like the Patriots. You know, the Patriots were once proud. Now they're not so proud.

The 'pride' of a franchise is a subjective matter of fan and media perception.

The Sonos app is terrible and needs to be completely fixed

I got something to say about Sonos. Figure it out guys. Ooh, what's up with this app? Why do I need the app to, to play the, the music? I agree. And if you're gonna require me to have the app to play music, at least make the app good. You know? Yes. I gotta be able to go on my Spotify and just click a speaker. Yep. You can do it with everything else.

This was a widely agreed-upon sentiment among Sonos users in mid-2024 following a disastrous app overhaul.

The Lakers shouldn't draft Bronny James just for the novelty

I just don't wanna be the team that drafts Bronny just for the novelty... I know, but you know, and it's, it'll be cool for like a game and then it's like, well fuck, did we just ruin our future just to have Bronny?

The Lakers did draft Bronny James with the 55th pick. The impact on their 'future' is pending.

Austin Reeves is the Lakers' glue guy and it would be a huge mistake to trade him

Austin Reeves. I swear to God, if we fucking trade Austin Reeves, I'm gonna be so pissed off. We need a guy like Austin Reeves. ... [He] is a glue guy.

The Lakers did keep Reeves and he remained a core part of their rotation.

Modern legalized weed is too high in THC and I miss the 'bad weed' from high school

Bad weed nowadays, it's hard to find out here, man. It sucks. It's gotten much too good... I want something like pretty casual. I don't smoke as much as I used to. I would like to have a life after this. And they're like, 'this is solid,' and I look at it and it's 38% THC. I'm like, how is this okay? When I go, I just ask for like bad. I just say, I want something like pretty bad.

This is a subjective lifestyle opinion but is a widely discussed trend in cannabis culture.

The Rams will beat the Bengals 24-21 in the Super Bowl

I'm going to say Rams 24, Bengals 21. [I don't know the spread]. I'm not a bettor like you guys.

The final score was 23-20 Rams. Tatro was incredibly close on both the point total and the spread.

Every team Kevin Durant joins becomes 'whack'

Every team KD goes to, he makes them whack, you know? I love the Warriors. The Warriors were cool. They had their thing going. And then KD showed up to the party and was like, wait, guys, include me. And then I hated the Warriors. And then, you know, he went to the Nets. And now they're like, you know... If they don't win the championship, they're so whack.

This is a subjective fan opinion about the 'coolness' or competitive merit of teams.

I hate the Clippers because they started yapping before they ever won anything

I hate the Clippers. I didn't used to hate the Clippers... It was just that once they started getting a little bit good, all of a sudden these Clipper fans, everyone wants to talk now. ... Win with grace, win with class, act like you've been there before even though you haven't.

This is a subjective fan opinion regarding team rivalry and fan behavior.

I'm convinced that the more we find out about COVID-19, the more we realize we know nothing about it.

I don't know now, I just like the more we find out the more we realize we know nothing and I don't want to be like a carrier and like, I don't know. I've always been like kind of a germaphobe.

This was a common sentiment in late 2020 as scientific understanding of the virus was still evolving rapidly.

If you are a Clippers fan, you are clearly not actually from Los Angeles.

The Clippers are obviously no one who's actually from that area possibly could care about the Clippers. If you are a Clippers fan, you're clearly not from LA.

This is a subjective cultural claim about fandom and geography.

LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time.

I'm of the mindset that like LeBron James is the best basketball player of all time.

The GOAT debate is inherently subjective.

90 minutes is the perfect length for a comedy movie

And it's only like, it's like 90 minutes, which is, I think a perfect comedy movie time. Because whenever they try to do like... a hundred minutes, you know, there's going to be 15 minutes where they're like, this just stretches on. Seeing under 100 minutes, I'm instantly more likely to click it.

This is a subjective preference, though widely shared by film critics regarding the comedy genre.

It's funny to catch on to a trend or hype cycle way late after it's no longer cool

It's funny to not be... eating on the hype when it's hot. Catch it way later. And then bring it back. Revive it.

This is an aesthetic/comedic philosophy.
