Aaron Rodgers will run for vice president

I think he's gonna do it. I think he's gonna run for vice president. It's gonna be hilarious. I don't know if he's going, is he gonna retire or is he gonna try to do both? That's the real question.

Aaron Rodgers did not run for Vice President; RFK Jr. eventually selected Nicole Shanahan on March 26, 2024.

Tom Brady will run for President of the United States in the future.

I will have a comment on [Tom Brady's] performance at the White House. He looked great standing up there speaking to our nation. I could see it happening in the future. I really can... I am running for President. He was great dropping jokes. Good looking guy. Everyone loves him. Winner.

Brady has not run for office and has since moved into a broadcasting career with FOX.

Major Biden will likely attack and eat the new White House cat

Major Biden, the dog, the German Shepherd dog, is being socialized back into the White House with the help of a cat, and that cat is fucking dead. Oh, yeah. That dog is going to eat the shit out of that cat.

The cat (Willow) joined the White House in Jan 2022 and co-existed safely, though Major was eventually re-homed due to biting incidents with humans.

The Suez Canal ship will be bombed if it is not fixed within a week

Eventually they're just gonna have to blow it up. Eventually someone's gonna launch a missile at it. Take it apart piece by piece. They're gonna drop a bomb on it if it's not fixed within a week. That's my prediction.

The ship was successfully refloated six days later without the use of missiles or bombs.

I will run for President of the United States in 2024 or 2028

If I do run it's probably going to be either 2024 or 2028. [Big Cat points out 2025 isn't an election year]. ... 2028, there you hear it. I think that'd be cool.

As of mid-2024, Akon has not filed for the 2024 presidency. 2028 remains pending.

Kim Kardashian has a better chance of being President than Kanye West

I actually do think that I don't think it's going to be Kanye. I would actually think that Kim [Kardashian] has a better chance of being pressed. Absolutely. In like five, ten years, 100%.

Neither has become president, but Kanye ran a failed 2020 campaign; Kim has not run.

There is a 0-2% chance Donald Trump pardons Joe Exotic

What percentage do you think Donald Trump pardons Joe Exotic? I say somewhere between zero and two percent.

Donald Trump did not pardon Joe Exotic before leaving office in January 2021, despite Joe's team having a limo waiting at the prison.

I am officially running for President of the United States in 2020

I'm hereby declaring myself... I'm opening my candidacy for president of the United States of America. All I need is 125,000 individual donors. If 125,000 of you gave me $1, then I would qualify for the next debates. So I don't see why not.

Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith will eventually run for President together

I can see a world like 10 years from now, 15 years from now, where the two candidates for president are Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith. And then they run together. And then they're co-presidents.

Extremely unlikely to happen literally, though both have leaned into political commentary since this episode.

The super-wealthy will eventually live in biodomes or on Mars

The rich people are going to be living in a biodome. That's a fact. Or on Mars. They're already working on it, dude. It's going to suck for everyone else.

Space colonization efforts are underway, but it's currently speculative whether it will serve as an escape for the wealthy.

Larry Fitzgerald will retire and run for the U.S. Senate in Arizona

I think Larry Fitzgerald's goal here is when he's going to wait for a Senate seat to come up in Arizona, and he's going to retire and run immediately for the United States Senate. And so that's why he keeps playing in Arizona so that the entire population of the state is like, 'this is our guy.'

Fitzgerald retired but has not yet run for the U.S. Senate.

Tom Brady will run for office in Massachusetts as a Democrat after he retires

I think that Tom Brady is going to run for office in Massachusetts after he's done playing football. And to win in Massachusetts when you're running for office, you typically have to be a Democrat. And Tom Brady has gone from having the Make America Great Again hat in his locker to now he's liking Colin Kaepernick's Instagram posts for the new ad campaign.

As of 2024, Tom Brady has retired from football but has not run for office in Massachusetts or anywhere else.

If you guys win the Super Bowl, are you going to the White House? No. Is that a no? No, I'm not going to the White House. Are you kidding me?

The Eagles did win the Super Bowl, and Donald Trump eventually canceled the team's visit after several players, including Long, indicated they would not attend.

Joe Biden will eventually run for President

The big one is Joe Biden... He said, I have no intention of running for president, but I'm a great respecter of fate. So that is, I love that line. I too am a great respecter of fate... Joe Biden is only running for president if God tells him he should. And then once God tells him he should, well, what are you going to do?

Joe Biden did run for president in 2020 and won.

Donald Trump will legalize sports gambling to improve his approval ratings

I could see Trump legalizing sports gambling. I could, too. He's a casino guy... He could flip that approval rating up to, like, the 60s if he just said, okay, we're going to be sports gaming.

PASPA was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2018 during Trump's term, but it wasn't a direct executive legalization by him, though he didn't oppose the trend.

Alabama will vote Democrat in the next election because of the football loss

Fair or not, Nick Saban hasn't won a national title since Trump got elected... as we've learned, could be some funny business if your team doesn't do so well in Alabama. Therefore, look for Alabama to vote Democrat next election cycle.

Alabama remained a Republican stronghold in 2020.

The European Union is hurt, not injured, following Brexit and will make a major comeback

The EU, in my opinion, is hurt. I don't think that they're injured. This is a minor setback for a major comeback... The EU is going to get back on that horse. They're going to bring in like Turkey and Russia and really get Britain's attention and Britain will be like, yeah, we fucked up. I'm sorry. Can I have you back? Things will get back together.

By the way, just want to say put $200 on Donald Trump about a year ago. That's looking pretty good right now.
