Opting out of the lottery ball should be grounds for losing your job

If you Opt outta a lottery ball, you're opting outta the booth. Is that what you're doing? And then you might be opting outta your job. I don't understand this. Hank is the very definition of grace. You could complain, you could bitch... You can't Opt out.

This is an internal show philosophy/rule, but Memes did eventually back down, proving Hank's stance held weight.

I failed my own podcast production system by not pressing publish

I was the one who did not press the publish button... The system broke, but the, the system will not break again... My system is that I check before I do the [tweet]. I'll never tweet the tweet without seeing, seeing. It's up on, on Apple... I broke my system.

Factual recap of internal show logistics.

We are banned from the Beacon Theater because of James Dolan

Part of my take was slated to do a live show in New York city at the beacon theater... I just got information that that date has been pulled from us because James Dolan owns the beacon theater. And we are the fucking bad boys of podcasting. We're banned from the beacon theater because of James Dolan.

The show was indeed moved from the Beacon Theater, and James Dolan is known for banning critics from his venues.

Tom Brady's drone-shot hole-in-one video is definitely fake

Tom Brady posted a video... it looks like he hits like a whatever 200 yard hole-in-one. And I saw it and was like, holy shit, this is the greatest shot of all time... and then I watched it a couple more times. It was like, this is clearly the most fake video of all time.

The video was confirmed to be a promotional clip for a golf match and was indeed digitally enhanced/fake.

John Sterling's botched home run calls are so bad he should consider retiring

Stanton hit a bomb, but not deep enough... 'high, far, gone, but caught' is what the call was. Hilarious. Like just a funny clip on the other end. Yankee fans... not exactly the clip you would put on a hypothetical resume. Right? Some people saying he needs to hang them up... His eyes are shot.

Sterling did continue to struggle with vision and accuracy until his retirement in April 2024.

I am going to partially ditch wearing my sunglasses on camera

I told him something that I've been thinking about for a while here, which is the sunglasses at, at some point can be a big hindrance to me... So I'm trying to think of ways to partially lose the glasses. And I'm also thinking that people are going to be pissed when they see my eyes, at least for a little bit. Not because they're like free guys. I think I'm a pretty normal looking guy.

PFT did eventually start appearing without glasses on certain broadcasts and social media clips, though he still uses them for the main podcast.

It is happening. July 31st, a doubleheader. I'm Peacock. I will be doing the play-by-play. It would not be possible without all of you guys in here... July 31st, doubleheader.

Jake Marsh did indeed call the PLL games on Peacock on July 31, 2021.

Drew Brees will not be a good broadcaster

I got a hot take. I don't think Drew Brees is going to be that good in the booth... There's going to be a wave of people being like, and as much shit as we give Tony Romo, he's objectively good... I don't think Drew Brees has a personality. I would sell all my stock on Drew Brees being good in the booth.

Brees's tenure at NBC was widely panned, and he was not retained for the 2022 season.

I'm surprised there has never been a Call of Duty branded movie

I'm surprised there's never been a Call of Duty movie, to be perfectly honest. ... I know [there are war movies], but there's not like a Call of Duty branded [one].

While there are many war movies, there is still (to this day) no officially branded 'Call of Duty' theatrical movie release.

Max Kellerman did not create the term 'BOAT'

Max Kellerman keeps talking about how he created the BOAT, and it's pissing me off... I think someone in the Barstool World slash Blake [Bortles] created it, and it's been around for five years now, and the fact that Max Kellerman thinks he just made it up on the spot yesterday is driving me insane.

Pardon My Take popularized the term 'The BOAT' for Blake Bortles as early as 2017, long before Kellerman claimed it on ESPN in 2019.
