The Chainsmokers look more like podcasters than a successful EDM group

I say that the Chainsmokers, they look the most like a podcast of any massively successful EDM group. Two white guys. Yeah. Listen, I'm saying that as a podcaster.

This is an aesthetic opinion that cannot be objectively proven true or false.

Tom Brady never processed 9/11 because he was such a psycho about football

He just had delayed onset grief. Anything that happened during his playing career, he never processed any of it outside of football. Tom Brady probably never processed 9/11. He was such a psycho, all he cared about was football. He probably found out about it like two years ago.

Hyperbolic satirical claim.

The Michigan State starting five might be 'out' on big naturals because they don't follow Sydney Sweeney

None of the starting five players from Michigan State follow Sydney Sweeney on Instagram. Michigan State Spartans may be out on heavies. Starting five guys are just maybe out on big naturals.

Verifiable at the time of recording — Zac claims he personally checked. No way to retroactively verify but stated as a specific fact.

I Show Speed is more famous than Tom Brady

Our conversation back here was Brady or Speed. I would probably go Speed. Brady's a big name though, he got a lot of rings, but I'd go Speed. I might take it back and go top one [most famous person at the field].

Fame is difficult to quantify but generally, Brady has much higher brand recognition among adults globally.

The Paris Gentle Mates Call of Duty event will be the biggest in history

Paris La Defense Arena. So it's got 45,000 seats. So they're, it's gonna be the biggest event in Call of Duty history... 45,000 seats. I that's pretty cool.

The Paris La Defense Arena does indeed seat over 40,000, and this would be a record-breaking venue for a CoD event.

I Show Speed is globally more famous than Donald Trump

I do think that I Show Speed is globally more famous than Donald Trump... between the ages of five and like 37 is four makes up 48% of the globe. And I think a overwhelming majority of them definitely know who Speed is... I think Speed might [have] 4.1 [billion people] dude. I'll give 4.1 just for sake of argument.

While Speed has massive reach, Trump's global recognition as a world leader and historical figure makes Zac's literal claim likely incorrect by any standard metric.

Directing animation is much harder than directing live action

White Boy Summer will be canceled if Chet Hanks remains stuck in Colombia

Chet Hanks is stuck in Colombia right now... now he can't get back to the United States because they won't let him back in. There's no greater American than Chet Hanks. And we're in danger of having white boy summer canceled this year if Chet's still stuck in Colombia.

E11even is a club with strippers, not a strip club

The national anthem at E11even last night... E11even is not a strip club, it is a club with strippers. So let's just get that clear. Because a lot of people were upset about it and I'm not gonna stand for it. Put some respect on E11even. It's a club with strippers.

This is a semi-factual claim about the establishment's business model which is often debated by the show.

Norway shouldn't count in the Winter Olympic medal standings because they invented all the sports

Norway's like the friend that's like, 'Hey, do you want to come to my house and play all my video games and I'll beat you at all of them?' That's what Norway does. If you take out Norway, which you should, we [the US] dominated these Olympics.

Logan Paul's $13 million Pokemon card sale is just a digital scam

I think a lot of it was digitally scamming. Not physical, not hard copy scams... it's like blockchain scam. So it's like deregulated scam.

Labeling a legal (if controversial) sale as a 'scam' is an opinion on the value of the asset and the character of the seller.

The Bad Bunny halftime show was so bad it ruined my interest in international football forever.

Jordan Queen has already wrapped up Jordan of the Year in February by wearing an Orchids of Asia Day Spa shirt to the Duke-UNC game.

Jordan [Queen] was there [at Duke-UNC]... and she was wearing an Orchids of Asia Day Spa shirt. Unbelievable. Which is the day spa that Robert Kraft got jacked off in. Jordan of the Year is open and shut case... early February. Jordan of the Year has been wrapped up.

The 'Jordan of the Year' is a recurring bit; it's a matter of the hosts' consensus by the end of the year.

The Super Bowl halftime show is for chicks

The Super Bowl halftime show is—is—is for chicks... I don't think the average NFL fan is like, man, I hope this Super Bowl halftime show is awesome. I don't give a fuck.

The NFL's 'Chief Kindness Officer' Dhar Mann is a scam artist

I asked this only because I saw a bunch of people. He, he, so he got, he got made kindness officer. And then all the entire reaction was, this guy's a scam artist. If you're this guy, why would you ever accept this? So, 'cause you know, like, you can't go, you can't take a position like this knowing that most people are gonna be like, dude, this guy's full of shit.

While Mann has faced various controversies and legal issues, whether he is a 'scam artist' is a matter of public debate and personal opinion.

I gotta remind you, Big Cat, it's not about West Virginia. It's about West Virginia. Yes... It's about the Shenandoah Valley [which is in Virginia].

The song mentions the Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountains, which only pass through a tiny sliver of West Virginia but are iconic landmarks of Virginia. The songwriters have admitted they had never been to West Virginia when they wrote it.
