Mouth tape leads to more restful sleep

I'm a mouth tape guy now. I do feel more rested with mouth tape. It just forces you to breathe out your nose.

You should always take the deal to have all your teams win championships in one year, even if they never win again

I think you gotta take the year. Because, alright, I'm thinking about my college teams too. And I don't think that my college teams are ever gonna win a title. So I'm basically getting a guaranteed one that I would never get. Sweeping the entire board for an entire year—you just have that for the rest of your life.

This is a subjective hypothetical choice.

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

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

Stan Musial invented the fist bump

I learned something the other day. I don't know if you guys heard this. Do you guys know who invented the fist bump? Stan Musial invented the fist bump. How crazy is that?

Stan Musial is often credited with popularizing it because he didn't want to shake hands to avoid germs, though its exact origins are debated (Freddie Patek is also mentioned).

Never name a dog after a sports figure who hasn't already secured a Hall of Fame legacy

Never name your dogs after sports figures that aren't Hall of Famers... maybe don't name him after a player unless he's been at least two or three All-Star games. That's a good little rule of thumb.

The person who wakes up earliest should sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door

The answer should always be that the person that has to wake up first in the morning, they sleep closer to the door. So you don't have to like walk around the other person.

You should never order the most expensive steak on the menu when someone else is treating you to dinner

If you go out to dinner... my rule is you go one level beneath what her dad would [order]... Third or fourth most expensive steak is where you have to [be]. There's just always that feel. You have to judge who you're with. If you're out with someone who maybe can't afford a super expensive steak, just don't be that guy.

Alcohol is a diuretic because it flushes liquid out of your body faster than you can hydrate

Al calls a diuretic. And why it dehydrates you is because it flushes all the liquid in your body, out through your piss. So even though it may seem like it's hydrated... It gets all your liquid out faster.

Scientifically correct, alcohol inhibits the hormone vasopressin which tells the kidneys to reabsorb water, leading to increased urination and dehydration.

You cannot know if a relationship is a 'rebound' until it actually ends

I think you don't know that it's a rebound until afterwards. In the middle of a rebound, it just feels cool... so a rebound could always be just a put-back dunk until you hit the ground. So you haven't hit the ground just yet, so it's impossible to know how to score it.

This is a philosophical observation on dating.

British soldiers are mandated to sit down to pee in tanks

The British have to sit down when using the toilets in their tanks the piss because they can't stand up in the tank. I believe they like mandate it... I checked myself. That's a good fact check.

Most tank crews (including British) use relief bags or tubes; standing is physically impossible in most armored vehicles.

You should never go through your partner's phone because you will never find anything good

I'd say just never go through the phone. Yeah, correct. You're not going to find anything don't do it. No woman has ever picked up a man's phone spent a good 15 minutes on it and been like 'this kicks ass'. I'm really glad that I do know what everything's out of context to that's true.

Mrs. McNabb is the greatest Campbell's Chunky Soup mom of all time.

Who was the best Campbell's Chunky Soup Mom? Mrs. McNabb or Mrs. Davis? Oh, I think it's Mrs. McNabb all the way. I don't even know... it's gotta be Mrs. McNabb. The great part about Mrs. McNabb was that when she was doing the commercials, that was like right when all the drama with [Donovan] McNabb and T.O. was going down.

Vacation activities are overrated; a perfect honeymoon is just hanging out at a beach or pool and getting hammered

This is why activities on vacations are overrated in general. Really, a guy's perfect honeymoon or vacation is just go somewhere, hang out at a beach, a pool, and then get hammered. He only does the activities because you want to do the activities.

New Year's resolutions only work because everyone agrees to be collectively annoying at the same time.

It's annoying in general to hear people talking about any change they're making... But if you preface it by saying it's a New Year's resolution, it's slightly less annoying. It's all everyone decides to be annoying together. We're in like group therapy.

Diet is more important than working out for weight loss

It's no secret when people say it's actually not about working out, it's about the diet, because what happens is... because I went to the gym, I was like, I can eat anything I want. And then I ate way worse than I normally would have.

Scientifically, weight loss is primarily driven by caloric deficit (diet) rather than exercise alone.
