I am the Neil Armstrong of Pac-Man

I was the first one to do a perfect score [in Pac-Man]. And what's absolutely gorgeous about that is other people can do it. Friends can play, we can learn. We can teach. We can have fun. They can do it. But they're simply repeating what I already did. So it's fun being Neil Armstrong.

While Twin Galaxies stripped his records in 2018, Guinness World Records reinstated them in 2020 after an internal review, though the debate in the retro-gaming community remains intense.

Joey Chestnut is the greatest athlete of all time

Joey Chestnut is the greatest American that has ever lived. One of the greatest athletes of all time. And I think we can confidently say that he is the greatest eater, the greatest human eater of all time... He is the greatest athlete of all time, in my opinion.

Subjective claim about 'greatest athlete' and 'greatest American', though Chestnut is indisputably the greatest competitive eater.

The Nets should refuse to trade Kevin Durant and force him to stay

I actually am of the belief that the Nets should just be like, fuck it. You're staying on the team. You signed a four year deal. Like they used to mean something kind of pushed back player empowerment. Like, Hey, no, you can't be traded. We're going to keep you.

The Nets did eventually trade Durant to the Suns in February 2023, though they did successfully force him to stay through the start of the 2022-23 season.

The Utah Jazz will be a major problem in 8 to 10 years because of Danny Ainge's draft pick haul

He's [Danny Ainge] just going to get the max amount of pics in the future. And he's just going to do this all again, which he did. I think the Wolves... gave up like six or seven first round picks. So it's essentially like the Jazz are just... going to probably do the same thing with Donovan Mitchell. And it's just going to be the Jazz in like eight to 10 years are going to be a problem. I'm calling it right now.

The Jazz are currently in the midst of this rebuild (as of 2024/2025). We won't know the full result of these picks for several more years.

I would be the best in the world at any profession I chose to obsess over

I believe whatever I did, I would be the best at, just because I only want to be the best... I wanted to be at one point in my life thinking I wanted to be, you know, I'm a Navy pilot. I mean, I would have been the best because I would have been so obsessed with it. I wanted to be, you know, a crime fighter. I mean, I put every bad guy in jail because I'd be the best.

Inherently unverifiable claim about his hypothetical performance in other careers.

Pac-Man is the greatest arcade game of all time

The game of the century announced on the Tokyo game show in 1999? And that would be the one that I would have to choose. Pac-Man. Pac-Man was also the first game inducted into the video game hall of fame.

Subjective ranking, though Pac-Man is widely considered one of the most iconic games ever.
