The Pardon My Take interview with Theo Epstein in early 2017 caused the Cubs to fail in their title defense

If we had a general manager... like Theo Epstein, and we talked to him, do you think that there would be a little bit of dissent in the Cubs clubhouse... and maybe they play a little less hard that year and maybe not win the World Series again?

While the Cubs lost in the 2017 NLCS after winning in 2016, attributing it to a podcast interview is satirical.

The Washington Capitals will win the Stanley Cup again next year

The only reason you're going to feel like it was lame is because the Caps are probably going to win again next year, and you're going to be like, we're used to this, right?

The St. Louis Blues won the Stanley Cup in 2019; the Capitals were eliminated in the first round.

The Imagine Dragons performance placed a curse on the Vegas Golden Knights

I told you there was a curse, man [the Imagine Dragons curse]. They need to exercise those demons, and I think the only way they can do that is by writing a song with us.

The Golden Knights indeed lost four straight games to the Capitals after Imagine Dragons performed prior to Game 2, though the 'curse' is a humorous narrative.

If Duke loses this year, they will be a dynasty of chokers

If they lose this year, that would without question be the best two year... they'd be a dynasty of chokers. Like back to back all time choking losses in the NCAA tournament. I hope that doesn't happen, PFT. We would've never seen anything close to this before.

This is a conditional opinion based on a future outcome.

I'm picking Purdue or Nebraska to win the national title

I think that Purdue, no one's talking about Purdue. They've been hovering around the top. Every time they, they, they start to be discussed in the media. It feels like they lose their next game. I'm gonna say Purdue, my money's on Purdue or Nebraska this year.

The 2026 NCAA tournament hasn't happened yet.
