The Rock is exactly as great as you imagine him to be

He's great, man. He's everything you imagine and want him to be. It's very satisfying. He often gets himself into pickles just like we do, but he's like such a magnetic dude that he'll get himself out of it easier than we can.

This is a first-hand character assessment.

Theme parks and water parks use black sidewalks to dehydrate guests and increase concession sales

Have you ever noticed how theme parks and water parks always have black sidewalks? Yeah, to make you more thirsty so you buy more concessions. Yeah, stay woke. That's like pretzels at a bar.

While dark surfaces absorb more heat and could contribute to thirst, there's no documented industry-wide conspiracy to use black pavement specifically for dehydration; it's often used for durability or cost.

If you get arrested, you should drop the name of a mid-level officer rather than the President

If you get arrested, you want to drop a name. It's kind of the inverse of what you think it should be. You want to drop the smallest name possible that the guy would recognize. Like you want to drop the name of his slightly superior officer. You don't want to go straight to the top with the president.

This is a subjective piece of advice on social engineering during a police interaction.

Ohio State fans should have learned not to hold rallies before the facts are out from the Penn State / Joe Paterno situation

I feel like we should have learned our lesson with the Joe Paterno rallies. Maybe wait until we figure everything out before you do like an entire impromptu rally at the stadium being like Free Urban Meyer. I can't really wrap my head around these people because I would assume these are the same people that if you bash Urban Meyer on Twitter, they will reply with, wait till all the facts come out. But then they also held an entire rally with none of the facts out.

The speaker is drawing a comparison and pointing out hypocrisy in fan behavior, which is a matter of opinion.

Sports stories have more longevity and 'better legs' than traditional showbiz stories

I just think sports is more – that has better legs. You know what I mean? There's more there. Then showbiz... showbiz just kind of like it's the snake eating its own tail. You know, but in football, you know, like you'll read an article like somebody tears ACL and that's it. That's the phrase. It's not even a sentence. It's a phrase. And this show [Ballers] is about all the drama that led up to that and follows that tear.

This is a subjective opinion on storytelling potential.

Chevy Chase ruined the reputation of comedy sets for everyone

I think comedy shows have that reputation [of being competitive or mean] because of Saturday Night Live. Chevy Chase ruined it for everyone. Chevy Chase was such a colossal dickhead. He ruined everything. Everything since then, everyone's like, oh, you have to be a dickhead to be in this show business.

While well-documented by others, this is Corddry's opinion and industry observation.
