Who gives a fuck about October basketball? ... It matters maybe like 1%.

The value of early-season games is a subjective debate regarding standings vs. load management.

Bronny James will play two minutes and have one turnover in his NBA debut

I think [Bronny James] bad. Two minutes, one turnover.

In his debut, Bronny played 3 minutes and had 0 points, 1 rebound, and 0 turnovers. Big Cat was very close on minutes but slightly off on the turnover.

I'm putting a bounty on anyone who dunks on Bronny James in an NBA game

I'm gonna put a bounty out there. If you can dunk on Bronny, then I will... you get a, an open spot on Pardon My Take and I will say you can join the show as a guest to discuss the dunk. Okay. And I will send you a Pardon My Cheesesteak... with all the fixings.

This is an offer/bounty rather than a prediction. No player publicly claimed this specific PMT bounty during the season.

Fettuccine Alfredo is fake Italian food.

Alfredo's not real Italian. There's no heavy cream in Italian cuisine. Alfredo's fake Italian. He [Rick Pitino] would maybe do a lemon chicken, maybe do a lemon chicken Piccata. But Alfredo... Cacho e pepe, that's Italian. But there's no heavy cream in Italian cuisine.

Whether Alfredo is 'real' Italian is a matter of culinary debate, though it originated in Rome, it is largely considered an American-Italian staple.

The Sixers are a bad team that loses every game Joel Embiid doesn't play

The Sixers suck. The Sixers are a bad team. Embiid's not playing. They lose—the Sixers are back to losing every game that Embiid doesn't play.

The Sixers' record without Embiid is a verifiable fact claim and a subjective assessment of team quality.

My 'dinner simulator' habit of building food orders and not buying them is a sign of good self-control

Instead of going and making myself a snack or making myself food or ordering food, I'll just pull up the apps, Uber Eats... and I'll just like put together an order of what I would order if I were to get something. And then I clear my cart and I go to bed... It's really good self-control.

Subjective self-assessment of his own behavior.
