Texas A&M has a legitimate path to compete for a national championship because of their move to the SEC

Texas A&M has a path now to maybe compete for a national championship. They were just right there last year... as much as iron sharpens iron, I don't think that has as much to do with recruiting as it does with coaching and the entire program.

Texas A&M has not won or competed for a national championship since joining the SEC, despite high expectations and heavy investment.

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.

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.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.
