You don't have to be a professional football player to have a 'Hall of Fame life'

Hopefully from [these stories] guys learn that you don't have to be a football player to have a Hall of Fame life. And, frankly, watching them and learning from them can make you guys better broadcasters. It can make me a better dad and can make us a better community and a better country.

I want to win an NBA championship as a podcast just for the opportunity to have a parade

I think we should try to win an NBA championship as a podcast. Because it looks awesome. I just think that there should be more parades in general. Parades really only exist nowadays if you win a championship or like for an inauguration... it looks like I really do think that we should try our best to win a championship in a professional sport because that looks awesome.

The podcast has not won an NBA championship.

PJ Tucker's role on a championship team is specifically to be the 'dog'

PJ Tucker's role is to be a dog. So he was just like saying, you need dogs to win that's him. Yeah. So he was like, yeah. He was like defining his role. He had to teach everyone else how to be a dog.

Subjective opinion on chemistry and team roles.

Ordering soda without ice is a smart consumer move to get 25% more drink

No ice, I think that's just being a smart consumer. You get more soda that way. I think if you grow up with not a whole lot of money, you know the no ice trick, because you get an extra probably 25% of the drink with it and you don't need the ice.

Standard ice displacement in a soft drink is typically between 20-30%, so 25% is a very accurate estimate.

Larry the Goldfish is officially admitted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame archives

We can certainly put him in the archives... He's not going in the bronze bust room. He's not getting a gold jacket... he will be included in the archives of the Hall of Fame.

Baker literally confirms they will keep the records/trinkets in the archives, making this a true claim within the context of the show's lore.

The 2021 Hall of Fame weekend will be one of the greatest gatherings in the history of football

It is going to be, I think one of the greatest gatherings from football ever. We'll have 161 Hall of Famers... we have the Centennial class, which again, that was originally going to be 20 Hall of Famers for 2020... that leaves us 19 [living inductees].

The 2021 ceremony was unique due to the induction of two classes (2020 and 2021) simultaneously because of the pandemic.

Peyton Manning's Hall of Fame debate only lasted 10 seconds

He knew it, it took 10 seconds for him to get in the hall of fame. You know, Mike Chapple from Indianapolis did his presentation. And I think all he said was Peyton Manning dropped the mic. Yeah. And, and, and he, he didn't have to make the presentation. Everybody knew he was going to.

Baker is the ultimate authority on these meetings. It is a well-documented story that the Manning presentation was incredibly brief.
