I need to film myself now to memorialize being relatively thin before I gain 40 pounds by October

Can we make a documentary of me in a t-shirt right now so I can memorialize this period in my life before I put on 40 more pounds in October?

This is a prediction about Big Cat's own personal weight gain during the 2020 football season.

The world will end on February 10, 2045

The world's going to end—January? No, it's going to be after the Super Bowl, February 10th. When? 2045. Okay, that's my prediction... on my 80th birthday. 2045, I'm gonna go out with a prostitute and a bad batch of heroin. Boom.

The date hasn't occurred yet, but it's clearly a joke.

I can swim 100 yards underwater and hold my breath for 5 minutes

[Billy Football's question] was how far can you swim underwater... 100 yards. You can? Yeah. [And] how long can you stay underwater if you're not moving? I don't know. Maybe around five minutes.

While difficult to verify without a test, these are plausible numbers for a 12-time Olympic medalist swimmer.

I will likely outlive Big Cat and PFT Commenter

Wouldn't it be something if I outlive the both of you? That would be something... I promise I'll be there [at the funerals].

All parties are currently alive, so this is pending, though statistically unlikely given the age gaps.

I'm a better swimmer than Jay Cutler and would out-swim him in any stroke

I'm a better swimmer than you. ... You're not going to out-swim me. Yes, I will. I will out-swim you. No. Easily. And if I have to, I'll die in the pool. ... We'll do every stroke. ... I got this. I'm not worried about that.

This race has never been televised/documented to resolve, but given Cutler's elite athleticism, it's highly likely Big Cat is wrong.

Global warming might make Super Bowl LIV the last one ever in Miami

Do you think anyone will write the enjoy this Miami Super Bowl because with global warming there may not be another one? ... What has changed since the last time Miami had the Super Bowl? Well, the water has risen. And now, you know, all these houses are going to be submerged next time we have it.

The city of Miami has not been submerged and has continued to host major events.

Gender reveals will backfire in 15 years when children see their parents' disappointed reactions to their sex.

I have a theory that we're going to reach a point in society and probably 15 years where this whole wave of gender reveals going to come back to bite everyone in the ass... they grow up and they have the ability to go online and they see their video and they're like, 'oh so you didn't want me? You wanted me something else.'

This is a long-term social prediction that is currently subjective but potentially verifiable as that generation comes of age.

Bo Nix is a future Governor of Alabama

That's actually a great governor's name for Alabama. Bo Nix. Governor Bo Nix. B-E-A-U, though. Just keep it simple. Two letters. Very easy to sign.

Nix has not run for office yet and is currently playing in the NFL.

Climate change will cause the earth to fry in the next 100 years

Climate change is real and the earth is basically going to fry in the next hundred years... Or less. For sure going to happen.

Human civilization is highly likely to end by the year 2050

So good old science came out with a report today, and it said that it's highly likely that human civilization will end in 2050.

All porn history will be public knowledge within 10 years

I'm very long woke on the fact that eventually all of our porn history is going to come out. Within 10 years, you're going to know what kind of porn your president watches.

We are currently 5 years into this prediction; large-scale public releases of individual browsing habits haven't become a standard political tool yet.

The world will be completely over in 150 years

I will read exactly one book and visit one museum in 2019

I have literally read one book [as a resolution]. That's a lot. I know that's a lot. I can do that. I also read, go to one museum. I have to pay for a ticket and try to learn a couple things in one museum.

PFT likely visited a museum or read a book in 2019, though he rarely reported back on these specific low-bar goals.

We should nuke aliens immediately if we find them

If we find a planet with aliens on them, we just nuke the planet immediately. Can't take that chance. They definitely have better weapons than us. We should become the aliens that we're afraid of coming to us.

Thankfully, no alien life has been discovered to test this policy.

I could beat a grizzly bear in a hot dog eating competition

Michael Phelps is racing against a great white shark. Can Joey Chestnut beat a grizzly bear in a hot dog eating competition? [Joey Chestnut]: Yeah, I could do it... I think I have the capacity to do it. I think the bear would start to wonder what's going on.

While a grizzly can eat massive amounts, it is not trained for the speed of competitive eating. However, this has never been tested.

Wi-Fi and data signals will give us all weird diseases and cancer in 30 years

One thing I do know about Wi-Fi is that all of us are going to get really weird forms of diseases and cancer in about 30 years from just hanging out next to all this data just passing through our systems.

This prediction for the year 2046 remains to be seen, though current scientific consensus does not support it.

Lacrosse will sell out a 50,000-seat stadium within the next 30 years

By what year is lacrosse going to sell out a 50,000-seat stadium, Hank? 30 years. Within the next 30 years, so he's calling his shot... I'm pretty positive I'm right.

As of 2024, lacrosse has not sold out a 50,000-seat stadium for a standalone professional or amateur event, though college attendance is high. We are 8 years into the 30-year window.

I will either get hair plugs or grow a beard to deal with my balding

I think, I mean, it's just one or the other. You got to go either that route [hair plugs] or you go the, I'm just going to own it and grow out a beard and just try and look like a badass.

Bortles has generally kept his hair short or shaved and has at times grown a beard, but there is no public confirmation of hair plugs as of 2024.
