Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was as influential to 90s SportsCenter anchors as Step Brothers is to modern ones

I think that Bill and Ted was to Keith Olbermann as like Step Brothers is to Trey Wingo... the mid-90s SportsCenter anchors, they were dropping Bill and Ted references left and right.

We have officially become the 'dads' of the podcast

I think what's happened here, you know when whenever you have a family right and there's that point in time when the 10-12 year old kids turn into teenagers and the dads start becoming the butt of every single joke... We are the dads now. We have become the dads. I'm getting roasted on Twitch. You're getting roasted by Hank and ping pong. Billy is just roasting me. Just mentally we are the dads.

Opinion Life Mild

The dynamic of the show did shift during the 2020-2023 era where Hank and Billy became more vocal and adversarial toward the hosts.

Lance Armstrong single-handedly ruined the name 'Lance' for babies

I think Lance Armstrong probably killed the name Lance. Yeah, you know babies named Lance? Yes, yes. Lance is not a little kid's name. I feel like you name a fucking—that's the kid that you're like, I'm going to wait until I meet it and know its personality and it turns out to be real asshole.

Opinion Pop Culture Medium

Social Security Administration data shows the name 'Lance' has seen a steady decline in popularity since the late 90s/early 2000s.

Baseball fans who claim they are done with MLB are lying and will be back next summer

I see people saying that if baseball doesn't happen, they're going to lose me as a fan. How? I'm still going to—you gonna do next? I'm gonna be pissed off, don't get me wrong... But what are you going to do next summer? Like there's nothing you could—Hank's doing the crossing. I love when people make this Line in the Sand where like they lost me at '94, they're going to lose me again. What are you gonna do in July?
