Takes
Wikipedia is the greatest website of all time
My number one is Wikipedia. The best website of all time. I don't think I even need to explain it. We have a Wikipedia club.
The 2003 Yahoo Fantasy Football page was perfection
Michelangelo never created anything close to the perfection. That was on the 2003 Yahoo Fantasy Football homepage.
Madison Square Garden is the best place to play in the NBA
My number one pick, my favorite city always to visit is New York. The Garden is one of the most fun places to play. Just the energy, even when they're not as good or even if they have more hype. It's always a good crowd, great city.
Toronto is a premier NBA city because it is culturally diverse and a great tax city to play in
Number three, I'm going Toronto. North of the border. Toronto's great, culturally diverse country. Solid fans, great tax city to play in. Also Drake, you could be friends with Drake.
Boston is a top-four NBA city to visit and play in
I'll tell you, I went with Boston as number four. Great call. I think definitely half of me [loves it]. I mean, half of me loves it. The other half, it's hit and miss. It depends on who I run into.
Indianapolis is a top-tier walkable and 'scootable' sports city
I have never had a bad time in the city of Indianapolis. It's a very walkable city... I hate DUIs even more [than walking]. It's a very scootable city. If you have a scooter, it's easy to get around.
Portland is the #1 NBA city because the fans have nothing else to do except hike and watch basketball
I actually, along those same lines, I went Portland. Especially with the old Jailblazers. Those guys used to have a real good time out there. I think Portland has some of the best fans... That's because they're homeless, so they don't have anywhere else to go. No one in Portland has a job. They move around from bookstore to food truck to Trailblazers games.
Homer Simpson is the greatest sitcom dad of all time because every man aspires to live like him
Number one, I have Homer Simpson. That's a no-brainer. We all grew up idolizing Homer. In fact, every man's life is spent getting to a place where he can just live his life like Homer Simpson. Every man's dream. How'd you know I wanted to always dress in a muumuu?
Mike Brady is a beta male for raising kids that aren't his
Mike Brady [is] raising somebody else's kids. He's got to pay for all their education and their trips to Disney World. Those weren't even his kids. He's not a real man. He's a beta male. He's stuck paying for an alpha male's problem.
Alan Thicke is a top-four sitcom dad because he launched Leonardo DiCaprio's career
My fourth and final pick: The late, great Alan Thicke, Growing Pains. Iconic, launched the career of the biggest movie star and the consummate stick man, Leonardo DiCaprio. Alan Thicke rounds off my top four of sitcom dads.
Michael Jordan is the GOAT
Michael Jordan. The GOAT.
I would rather get attacked by a dog than fly on Spirit or Allegiant Air
Spirit and Allegiant Air, I would rather get attacked by a dog than fly on any one of those airlines.
I would rather move across the country to keep my current cable provider than move down the street and have to change it
I'd rather pick up all my stuff and move across country if I could keep my cable providers than move down the street if I had to change them.
Cell phone and cable companies are the best businesses because customers are ignorant but need the product
There are two businesses that you really should be in... the cell phone business and in the cable business. Because when you are in a business where the customers don't understand what it's all about, what the bills are all about, but they need it, what better business could that be?
The 'full sock overhaul' is a life-changing hack where you throw out all socks and buy 60 identical pairs
I did this a couple years ago. It changed my entire life... I called it a full sock overhaul. And I threw out all my socks, and I went and I bought the exact same pair of socks. I bought like 60 of them. So that way you can never actually lose one.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is the most overrated thing in the world
Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is the most overrated thing in the entire world. Even more overrated than the show Friends. It is the worst. I hate it.
Drinking a Bloody Mary after 3 p.m. should be a punishable offense
I think if you drink a Bloody Mary after 3 p.m., you should probably be arrested or shot or something.
Bristol, Connecticut is the worst city in the United States
Bristol, Connecticut. I'm not saying that because of ESPN. I'm saying that because I've actually been to Bristol. If you look at TripAdvisor's top ten things to do in Bristol... one is a water park... and then three out of the other top four are like a museum of clocks. A clock museum... And then another one is the Museum of Fire.
Arkansas is one of the worst states in the country
And then the very last one, I'm going to go with the state of Arkansas... I feel like everywhere Brett Bielema goes, the bubble around his body is sovereign land. He's not a part of any state.
Starkville, Mississippi is one of the worst cities in America
Starkville, Mississippi. We went in the Dixie tour... I'm sure [Stingray Steve] agrees with me because literally all there is is a strip of fast food restaurants. Like, that's their nightlife. Bars closed at 12. We showed up there, and everyone on our bus got pink eye.
Las Vegas is a terrible city after the first 36 hours
Las Vegas. I fucking hate Las Vegas. Las Vegas is a great city to visit the first time you visit for the first day and a half that you're here. And then you realize that it's basically a mix of New Year's Eve and a cruise ship. And no one wants to be on either of those things.
Pigs in a blanket are the best finger food and appetizer available
I also think that pigs in a blanket get a bad rap. I think people try to be really classy at their weddings these days and they don't do pigs in a blanket. We need to like rebrand pigs in a blanket to bring them back because they're the best finger food and appetizer out there.
Crab cakes are better with 75% filler rather than lump meat
I like the filler. ... Exactly. I want 75% filler in my crab cakes. ... Have you ever tried to eat like a 95% crab meat crab cake? Oh, it's disgusting. It's like eating a can of tuna fish.
90% of Spanakopita is inedible because it's too dry
Spanakopita can be really, really dry. Like 90% of the time, it's almost inedible because it's super dry.
Mussels are officially a finger food
Mussels. Does that count? Finger food. ... I love mussels. ... And I eat them with my finger. ... I always eat mussels just with my fingers.
Christian Ponder has the perfect look of a really good backup quarterback.
I would say that Christian Ponder has the look of a really good backup quarterback. Every good starting quarterback has a little something weird about him. But Ponder is just like, he's a good looking guy. He's just kind of, he's neutral. He's got some muscles. Like you said, he looks good in shorts and a t-shirt. Absolutely. He looks good.
Kyle Orton belongs on the Mount Rushmore of backup quarterbacks.
Kyle Orton, come on. Of course.
Jeff Garcia is the quintessential emergency backup quarterback
Jeff Garcia. Oh, man. Dude, he was one of those guys where if your quarterback got injured in the preseason – It could be like five years after Garcia retired. You're going to make a call to Garcia's agent. He's a name that should get thrown around a lot more.
ChapStick is a myth that creates its own dependency
I think ChapStick's a myth, too. Like, I don't believe in ChapStick. I've never put on ChapStick one time in my life, and I've never thought I needed ChapStick. But once you start using it, then your mind tells you, I need more ChapStick.
Mark McGwire is the top steroid user, and his 1998 home run title should have belonged to Sammy Sosa.
I got Mark McGwire. It's a shame what he did to Sammy Sosa that season because that should have been Sammy's home run title. So Mark McGwire is my number one.
Mayonnaise is a great condiment that needs to be destigmatized.
Mayo doesn't get enough respect... If there's one thing I want to bring back in this world, it's the destigmatization... it's that mayo is a great condiment and people should not be ashamed to use it.
Queso and guacamole both qualify as sauces or condiments.
Number two, queso. Oh, man, that's cheating... obviously queso. No, it's also a condiment. You can put queso on a steak... you can put queso on a sandwich. Number three is salsa. Number three is guacamole. You can get it on a sub.
The planet would be better off without mosquitoes
Number one, mosquitoes. I don't know what part of the ecosystem mosquitoes fits into, but you can't convince me that the planet wouldn't be better without mosquitoes.
Grackles are the world's shittiest bird
I'd like to add grackles to the list. They're the world's shittiest bird. They're ten times worse than any sort of bird out there.
Asking someone to come on your sports podcast is a huge dick move
Can you come on my podcast? So that's a huge – I hate it. I hate when people try to get you to go on, like, your sports podcast and, like, try to joke around with them. Big time dick move if anybody out there does that.
Being asked to be a Maid of Honor is a rough favor to fulfill
Will you be my maid of honor? Like that's such a – that is a rough ask. If you're a maid of honor, you've got to plan out the entire bachelor party. You've got to plan out the wedding shower. You've got to plan out... basic bitch t-shirts.
