Taking apart a microwave is fatal because it contains an electric bomb

Do never, do not ever take apart a microwave because you'll die. You'll get electrified. They've got like a bomb inside of them. ... You have a nuclear weapon in your kitchen.

Fact ClaimLifeMediumSarcastic
While microwaves have high-voltage capacitors that can be lethal even when unplugged, calling them a 'nuclear weapon' or a 'bomb' is scientifically incorrect.

Rory McIlroy will get a performance boost from his recent divorce filing

Rory McElroy divorce bump... Scotty Scheffler baby bump. Rory McElroy divorce. Divorce bump... I think it might be Rory divorce bump.

Rory finished T12, a respectable but non-winning performance that didn't show a significant 'bump' compared to his previous week's win.

I am betting on a one-two finish for Scotty Scheffler and Rory McIlroy at the PGA Championship

One two Scheffler McElroy and then one two McElroy [then] Scotty. I, that might be the move.

Neither golfer won; Xander Schauffele took the title. Scheffler finished T8 and Rory finished T12.

The pull-out method is the best and most effective birth control

This is why the pull-out method's just, it's the best. So much more effective. It's the best. Yeah. Works a hundred percent. You know where the semen's going? Yeah. Never have a problem pulling out.

Statistically incorrect. The withdrawal method is significantly less effective than most other forms of birth control according to all medical organizations.

Boneless wings are slow-twitch muscles and bone-in wings are fast-twitch

Boneless wings are slow Twitch muscles and bone in wings are fast Twitch muscles. In terms of on the chicken... I think it has more higher mineral density.

Chicken wings (bone-in) and the breast meat typically used for boneless wings are both primarily white meat, which consists of fast-twitch fibers. The claim about boneless being slow-twitch is biologically incorrect.

Odell Beckham Jr. will sign with the Seahawks

I think he's going to be a Seahawk, based on the way that DK answered those questions earlier when he was like, no, we're not claiming off waivers. That tells me that he knows that they're going to sign him as a free agent.

Odell Beckham Jr. signed with the Los Angeles Rams on November 11, 2021.

Zach Wilson has a 'laser arm' and his high throw velocity is a sign of potential success

Zach Wilson also had the fastest throw this week... laser arm. Yeah. Set it. Keep that in mind. That's good. In the first two weeks he had a 59.99 mile per hour pass.

While the velocity stat may be true, Zach Wilson's 'laser arm' did not prevent him from becoming one of the most statistically unsuccessful quarterbacks of his era.

3D sports broadcasts will be forced back into the mainstream within the next two years.

I do predict that it's about that time for them to start forcing 3D down our throats again. It's like every three years, like 3D sports is coming back and it always sucks. It's never been good, but they're going to try because they feel like they can make money off it now. So I predict in the next, like two years, they'll start forcing that on us.

3D TV remained dead. While Apple Vision Pro eventually introduced 'Immersive Video', there was no widespread push to 3D sports in the 2021-2023 timeframe.

I think the—let's be honest—the butt is the easiest hole to get any disease through. Yeah, I would say stay away from that if you're trying to fuck around with someone who's got Corona. All holes no go.

While certain diseases (STIs) can be transmitted this way, it is certainly not the 'easiest' way to catch a respiratory virus like COVID-19 compared to inhalation.

Christian Yelich is not a true home run hitter because he's too skinny

Yellich sucks. He's not good enough to win a home run derby. I still, even a year later, even though he's, like, got 31 home runs or whatever. He doesn't have a home run swing. No, he does not. He's too skinny.

Yelich had 44 HRs in 2019 and was one of the most powerful hitters in the league at the time.

Pregnancy is technically a performance enhancing drug for athletes

Serena Williams how she got pregnant and how being pregnant is technically a performance enhancing drug because she has more blood in her system because she's not on the dot anymore and since she has more blood she's got more red blood cells which means she's circulating oxygen at a higher rate.
