The Aaron Judge slump is caused by participating in the Home Run Derby

The Aaron Judge, did he fuck up his swing, is fully back. He's like one for 14 right now. I think we called that before the home run derby even started, right?

Judge had a notable slump in August 2017 after the Derby, though he finished the season strong. The 'Home Run Derby Curse' is a common but debated theory.

Floyd Mayweather was a genuinely good guy until he used a homophobic slur

I thought Floyd Mayweather was a genuinely good guy until he dropped that hard F-bomb. That's the most problematic thing that these guys have done is use words that they shouldn't.

This is a satirical comment on Mayweather's public image.

Dana White is looking bloated and out of shape

Dana White, a story that's not being talked about, he's looking pretty fat. Like he's bloated. I don't know. Maybe that those billions that he got has gone to his head... standing takes so much effort. Standing is not fun for guys who are overweight, and he's like, I'm going to lean all my body weight on this podium because I cannot stand up anymore.

This is a subjective physical observation.

Salmonella is like the chicken pox; once you get it once, you can never get it again

No, because if you get salmonella, then you don't have to worry about getting it again so you can eat cookie dough and stuff. Nope, [you] don't have to worry about it.

Salmonella is a bacterial infection, and you can absolutely get it multiple times. It is not like chicken pox.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
