Chris Paul will never win a championship

Second pick is gonna be Chris Paul. Chris Paul can't win the big one. Just can't do it. He's never gonna win the big one.

Chris Paul is still active (as of mid-2024), but nearing retirement without a ring.

Caitlin Clark is officially on the 'can't win the big one' list until she wins a professional title

Caitlin Clark can't win the big one. She has not been able to win the big one. She literally college cannot win the big one and I don't know what else you could say about it. That's gonna get people real mad. Angel Reese can win the big one, she's a better winner.

As of the take, Clark had lost back-to-back NCAA titles. Her professional career is ongoing.

I will eventually own a Taco Bell franchise with PFT and Hank

Let's just, let's agree to it right here. Like a suicide pact, but not suicide. Let's one day own Taco Bell together. I would love that. Would fucking sick.

This is a long-term life goal/prediction that hasn't happened yet.

The breakup of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend will be the greatest day on the internet

I can't wait for Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. It's gonna be the best day on the internet. Like all these people being like, what is love anymore? ... It will be the greatest breakup of all time... Their private life must be a horror show. John legend... that's the kind of guy that cheats as he gets older. He's gonna do it like in a classy way.

As of 2024, they remain married.

I will eat a pound of corn if the Billy/Jake/Memes team wins the Fruit Mount Rushmore

If you lose, I wanna see you eat five pounds of corn... Alright, how about a pound of—I'm talking about by the way, loose corn? Not ears of corn. A pound of corn. Deal.

The results of these polls are determined by fan voting on Twitter. If the listeners voted for Team Billy/Jake, Big Cat would be on the hook for the corn.

Wisconsin will never win a national title in football or basketball

Personal one, Wisconsin will never win a national title in football or basketball... I accepted it when Coach K paid off the refs at halftime [in 2015], but that was the moment. It will never happen.

Since 2019, Wisconsin has not won a national title in either sport. This remains a 'pending' but currently 'correct' prediction based on results to date.

Bronny James Jr. is a 'buy' stock for future greatness

This is the anti-pander pick, Bronny James Jr. I'm going to squat on that one. I'm going to buy that stock.

Bronny James was eventually drafted by the Lakers in 2024. While 'greatness' is still pending, making the NBA as a second-round pick is a significant achievement, though many would argue his career has been underwhelming relative to the hype.

Bronny James Jr. will be a bust

You are forgetting that this is all about a mountain of greatness. Not predicting future greatness... Plus, [Bronny James Jr.]'s going to be a bust.

Bronny was drafted in 2024; his career is in its infancy, so whether he is a 'bust' is still pending.

Federal legalization of marijuana is an absolute 'layup' for the U.S.

Federally legalized marijuana. I mean, we're halfway there... I think one day we'll look back and look at this like prohibition and it'll look really fucking stupid.

As of 2024, it is still not federally legalized in the United States, though many more states have legalized it.

The Wisconsin Badgers will never win a national title in football or basketball

Wisconsin ever winning a national title in anything... Basketball and football, yeah. So that one, that chip failed the night [of] the Duke game [in 2015]. I actually said it... I was like, that's it. We're never coming back... It's never happening.

As of 2024, Wisconsin has not won a national championship in either sport since this take.

I am going to win the 50-50 raffle eventually

One dream I'm going to hold on to, winning the 50-50. I'm going to win that. Never let go.

Statistically unlikely and has not happened to date.

Lacrosse will be the fourth major sport in America in 30 years

Should lacrosse take over soccer as the fourth major sport? I think it's got to be us. I think we've got to take it upon ourselves... 30 years.

Lacrosse has not surpassed hockey or soccer in terms of viewership or revenue since this take was made.
