The NBA rigs series to make them go longer and more exciting, and fans shouldn't complain about it

The NBA, when it needs a series to go a little bit longer, we'll send a guy [Scott Foster] and you'll make sure that it goes a little bit longer. I like that. People need to quit doing is complaining about [it] being rigged. They rig it to make it better. It's Buffalo Wild Wings. They rig it to get us as close as seven-game series as possible. I want more, right?

This is a subjective theory about league officiating and entertainment strategy.

The Suns are still going to win the NBA Finals despite the Bucks' Game 3 win

I do think that the [Bucks]... they have enough guys to make this a series. I do still think the [Suns] are gonna win, but that was a great performance to come home.

The Bucks won the next three games to win the series 4-2. The Suns did not win.

I'm officially over the 8K 'fan-cam' because it makes fans perform for the camera

I'm done with AKA [8K]—the fans and AK, I'm over it... the best fan moments that you have is when the fan doesn't know the camera's on them. With 8K, they have to get close enough so that you know that the camera's on you. So it's everyone going crazy for the fan for the camera. It's basically like watching a jumbotron.

Personal preference on broadcasting technology.

Conor McGregor is finished as a legitimate top-tier fighter

So him, him as a legitimate fighter that is over... he hasn't won, he's won one fight since 2016. And the guy he beat had has lost or has not won a fight in his last six fights. So he, he's not, he's just not going to be able to fight at a high level.

As of late 2024, McGregor has not won a high-level MMA fight since this take was made, largely due to injury and inactivity.

Pigeons are the smartest birds because they live off human trash

Pigeons might be the smartest bird. There is one... they've essentially just over the years been like, Hey, you know where we should live? Right where the people leave their trash. We don't have to hunt for anything. We don't have to go fucking diving for worms and fish... Some guy's going to eat a calzone and not finish it and we're gonna finish it. So pigeons might be the smartest bird.

While funny, avian intelligence is usually measured by tool use (crows) or problem-solving, though urban adaptation is a form of intelligence.

Barry Bonds could still play in the MLB and take a million walks because of fear

I think of that with Barry Bonds for sure. Barry Bonds I like He could just, he, he could show up and just be awesome and, and take like a million walks. 'cause people would fear him.

This is a hypothetical claim about a retired player's current ability, which is fundamentally subjective.

American air conditioning is the equivalent of 'Hunter Biden crack' for European visitors

I would imagine air conditioning for Europeans hits like crack. Like the best crack of all. Oh, hunter Biden crack. Yeah. That's like when we go over to, to Spain and we see a nude beach. Like that's, that, that feeling that we get over there is their feeling when they're walking into one of our buildings over here.

Inherently subjective and hyperbolic comparison.
