Lactose intolerance is a fake condition that everyone actually has

Lactose intolerant... that's fake. It's as fake as fake gets. No, it's fake. Everyone's lactose intolerant. If I eat too much ice cream, my tummy hurts. Am I lactose intolerant? A little bit probably. So everyone is.

Biologically, about 68% of the world has lactose malabsorption, but 'everyone' is hyperbole.

The Liver King is shorter because he didn't go through the agricultural revolution

He's come for short too... Well, you see, he didn't go through the agricultural revolution. So he was, he's still the size of the early ancestor, tall for his era. You didn't go to the agricultural revolution yet.

Fact ClaimLifeHotSarcastic
The 'agricultural revolution' occurred thousands of years ago for all humans; individuals today cannot opt-out of its genetic and developmental impact through diet.

Signing Blake Bortles will change the entire culture of the Seahawks

Following Russell Wilson's injury, the Seahawks are working out the boat. Blake Bortles. Yes, yes, Blake. Oh, my God. I love it... You bring him in to change the whole culture. You bring him in with a contract already signed.

Bortles was signed to the practice squad but never played for the Seahawks and did not change their culture.

I can turn Ben Mintz into a 'lab rat turned muscle hamster' by controlling his diet and supplements

I now have the perfect opportunity [to] control all the variables and turn Ben Mintz into a lab rat turned muscle hamster... Basically I control all the variables. Like literally he's not going to be able to eat a meal without me. I'm going to pump this guy full of creatine, get him squatting heavy and see what happens.

Ben Mintz did engage in some fitness content with Billy, but he did not undergo a massive, lasting transformation into a 'muscle hamster' as Billy described.

Logan Paul will catch Floyd Mayweather once, and that will wake Floyd up

I think that Logan is going to catch him once. I think he's going to catch him one time. And then that'll wake Floyd up. Because remember, we saw the Mayweather-McGregor fight a few years ago. Same type of thing happened.

Mayweather was never significantly caught or wobbled by Paul; he controlled the exhibition entirely, making this incorrect.

I would have a 50-50 shot in a fight against a full-grown elephant if I could trick it or make it dizzy.

I'm going to say elephant 50-50 shot... elephants are another case of an animal being so smart that you can trick it. So you could probably get an elephant really dizzy just by running in circles around it.

A human has essentially a zero percent chance of defeating an elephant in an unarmed fight. PFT would be crushed instantly.

Jake Paul is lying about being 6'1" and is actually 5'9" because he is the same height as Dave Portnoy

Jake Paul is lying about his height. He's listed at 6'1", but is really 5'9"... I have a picture of him next to Dave Portnoy. And he is basically the same height as Dave Portnoy. He's two inches taller than Dave, who is 5'10".

Jake Paul is generally verified to be around 5'11" to 6'0", making Billy's 5'9" claim likely incorrect, though Paul often wears platform shoes.

The world should move toward 'human tubes' for transportation so we never have to drive or leave our houses.

I'm ready to go as far as to say that we should tube everything. Like, we should have human tubes instead of cars. I never want to leave my house. No, just like imagine if you wanted to come to work and you just got sucked up in your human tube and spat out here.

This is a satirical vision of the future that is not currently feasible.

Mike Francesa invented the concept of a podcast co-host

He invented co-hosts. Mike Francesa, in addition to Daily Fantasy, has invented co-hosts. My idea.

Men evolved to nut fast to avoid being killed by woolly mammoths

From a Darwinian perspective, it's actually an advantage. Guys evolved to nut fast. Right. So we can spread our seed and be more efficient so that we don't get killed when we're like having a romantic tryst by a wandering woolly mammoth or T-Rex.

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
Biologically inaccurate and comedic; mammoths and T-Rexes did not live at the same time, nor is this the accepted evolutionary reason for human biology.

Nick Saban is an underachiever because he only wins a title every other year

Nick Saban's an underachiever... with this in mind, five national titles really does not seem like enough in an 11-year period. If Saban were as good at being a head coach as he is at recruiting, Alabama would have won the national title on a yearly basis. But he isn't.

Hot TakeCFBScorchingSarcastic
Saban is widely considered the GOAT of college football. Suggesting that winning 'only' 5 titles in 11 years is underachieving is a comedic hot take.
