Rajon Rondo is just one notch below Paul Pierce in Celtics history

When Rajon Rondo got traded to the Mavericks, I said he was a notch below Pierce, who was like a notch below Bill Russell.

Pierce and Russell are top-tier legends with retired jerseys; Rondo's legacy, while strong, is several tiers lower.

Diversify your investment by buying scratch tickets in multiple states to become a millionaire

On a road trip, little pro tip, you buy scratch tickets or lotto tickets at every single stop in multiple different states. It's called diversifying your investment. And you will then become a millionaire.

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
Buying lottery tickets is statistically unlikely to make one a millionaire, regardless of how many states they are purchased in.

Apple purposefully sells iPhone chargers that break so you have to buy more

My number one [minor inconvenience] is buying iPhone chargers from, like, a gas station, and then when you plug them in, they just don't work... [Steve Jobs] basically has made a charger that cannot be duplicated... They have chargers that you can charge your iPhone once and it's just charged forever. They just won't sell them to us.

While planned obsolescence is a debated topic, the claim of a 'forever' charger is factually unfounded.

Elon Musk should stop trying to get to Mars and focus on giving us retina credit cards

Elon Musk, if you're listening to this and we know you are, quit trying to get to Mars, you fucking nerd. Just give us retina credit cards.

While biometric payments exist now, Musk did not pivot to this; he continued his Mars focus.

Bruce Arians will win a Super Bowl in Arizona and then return to Pittsburgh to win another with Ben Roethlisberger

I want him [Bruce Arians] to win a Super Bowl. I want him to win three. Actually, I want him to win one with Arizona and then go back to Pittsburgh and win one there with Big Ben.

Bruce Arians did not win a Super Bowl with Arizona (he retired from there in 2017) and never returned to coach the Steelers.

Stevie Wonder isn't actually blind

Stevie Wonder isn't blind. Have you seen some of the clips out there? He catches microphones that are falling down. Like he's pointing at people. He's a blind guy that points. They do not point. Stevie Wonder is not blind. Look it up.

There is no medical or factual evidence to support the claim that Stevie Wonder is not blind.

Wisconsin threw the 2014 Big Ten Championship game so Ohio State could make the College Football Playoff

Wisconsin threw the 2014 Big Ten championship game 59-0 so that Ohio State could go to the national championship game... Barry Alvarez, Wisconsin AD, sits on the selection committee... He knew, hey, listen, if we're going to get the Big Ten into the national championship, they've got to put a whooping down. Hey, Wisconsin – Go ahead and roll over. 59-0. Let's make it a bloodbath.

While Ohio State did need a big win to jump into the playoff, there is no evidence the game was fixed.

I hope the Cavaliers beat the Warriors again next year

I hope the Cavs beat the Warriors again next year. Then David West goes to the Cavs. And then the Warriors beat the Cavs. And he's just stuck losing like every single year.

The Warriors beat the Cavs in 5 games in the 2017 Finals. David West successfully won a ring with the Warriors.
