I was incredibly sober during my peyote trip with a mountain lion

And I'd gone off on a sunrise walk with this gentleman and he was... slowly disseminating the payoti... when I got back down on the property, there was this, he had this mountain life in his cage... I get confident that me in this mountain lion are on the same frequency... The great thing about peyote had done the right way. No, I don't look back on that at all. I look back on that and go it. If anything, have you looked through the book there's times I've taken, what would be considered risk that absolutely paid off... I would say I was incredibly sober.

The subjective experience of a psychedelic state cannot be objectively verified as 'sober'.

Cam Newton has to retire after his performance against the Bills

The Buffalo bills, our fucking weapon, Josh Allen, when in Foxborough beat what was left with the Patriots Cam Newton I mean, I think he has to retire. I don't really know what at this point, it, it, it was sad.

Cam Newton did not retire. He played for the Patriots for the rest of 2020 and signed with the Panthers during the 2021 season.

Dwayne Haskins will start another game in the NFL

I guarantee you, I will bet you a thousand dollars that [Haskins] will start another game. It might be a situation where he's a back up and gets in at the start because of an injury.

Incorrect. Haskins spent time with the Steelers but was tragically killed in April 2022 without ever making another NFL start.

You have to out-prepare everyone so that you have the freedom to be yourself in the moment

That moment is when I said, okay, bullshit, from now I'm gonna over-prepare. I'm going to out-prepare people. ... You gotta prepare to be free. You gotta do the early work so you can play on the day. ... Be conservative early so that you can be liberal later.

This is a subjective professional philosophy.

The Washington football team should be renamed the Red Wolves

I'm pushing for the Washington Red Wolves. I think I just think it'd be cool that you got the teeth. You got all the fans in the stands, just making big howling noises. ... I just think that there are no professional football teams named after dogs and everybody loves dogs, right?

The team was eventually renamed the Commanders in 2022, rejecting the Red Wolves suggestion due to trademark issues.

This is a subjective value judgment.
