Skateboarding was the 90s version of modern Twitch streamers

Twitch streamers are like the 2020 version of skateboarders when I was coming up. Mostly people following your passion and doing something they're good at and finally getting an audience for it. I never imagined I'd be making money at it, and I applaud those guys.

This is a subjective cultural observation.

There is absolutely nothing you can do to stop the Chiefs when their offense is humming

The Chiefs newsflash are really, really, really fucking good. Like I don't I don't think the Texans are as bad as they looked at times. I think the Chiefs are just really, really fucking good. Super Bowl champs for a reason. There's nothing that you could do to stop the Chiefs when their offense is humming like that. There's just there's absolutely nothing you can do.

The Chiefs went 14-2 and reached the Super Bowl again that season, and have remained the league's most dominant offense.

The NBA rigged Game 6 for the Raptors over the Celtics to get a Game 7 for ratings

I'm feeling nervous. I'm not gonna lie. Game 6 was clearly like the NBA and I understand where the NBA is coming from where they need the best ratings we could possibly get. If we could tell the refs, just call everything against the Celtics so we can get a game 7 for ratings. I understand it. It was clearly the post-game report admitted everything that happened on the stretch that was supposed to get called against the Celtics didn't.

While the NBA admitted to officiating errors, there is no proof of a directive for ratings. The Celtics won Game 7 anyway.

The Celtics are clearly the better team than the Raptors and the series should have been over in five games max

The Celtics have clearly been the better team in the series. They should have won game three. They should have won game six... I do think that the Celtics are the better team and it should have been a four game five game Max series.

The Celtics did eventually win Game 7 to advance, supporting the idea they were the better team, though it took the full 7 games.

Johnny Knoxville is the least coordinated member of the Jackass crew

The irony of [Johnny] Knoxville is that he's the least coordinated. He can't skate at all. And so his injuries were always the worst because he just wasn't prepared for those types of falls. And, you know, he's the one that had to have urethra surgery and stuff like that. These were absolutely the worst types of injuries.

Knoxville has admitted many times he is not an athlete and relies on courage rather than coordination.

The Ollie is the foundation of every skateboarding trick

Ollie's the foundation of every skateboarding trick. So if you're going to start skating and you're going to take it seriously, you've got to learn how to Ollie.

The Ollie is universally recognized in skateboarding as the essential building block for jumps and technical tricks.

The term 'rad' is making a comeback with younger kids

I think rad's making a comeback. ... New young kids using rad. Okay. Calling it that Levi's shirts.
