Takes

Carole Baskin and her husband were definitely 'tricked' by the Tiger King filmmakers

With Carol... she put out a 10-minute video defending themselves. And in the video, he goes, we were tricked. We were told it was going to be this thing about tigers and this. And then they went down this path that we didn't know what they were doing. Absolutely, they were tricked. I could not agree with them more.

People love reality television because it allows them to feel superior to the 'shitty people' on screen

That's why we love reality television, because we get to watch it and say, oh, well, at least we're not them. At least we're not drunk fighting in the Hamptons every summer. Or at least we don't own these tigers and kill our husband. We judge ourselves like we could be shitty people, but we're not that.

The Cowboys don't view Dak Prescott as a top-tier franchise quarterback

The fact that it's taken this long speaks to exactly how the Cowboys feel about Dak Prescott. They like him. They want him. But he's not [Mahomes]. He's not Russell Wilson.

Andy Dalton is 80% of Dak Prescott

Is Andy Dalton 80% of Dak Prescott? ... Andy Dalton is the type of guy that with talent around him in the right situation which the cowboys have a ton of offensive talent... Why not? They'd have a good running game. You have CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper. Andy Dalton is a fine player for that situation.

News websites have started to exploit the ratio, and they're starting to do like alley-oop jokes on Twitter. ...

The least realistic thing about Entourage is the four guys being together so often

Whenever anybody asked me about the realistic stuff of the show, the thing I always said was the least realistic thing is that four guys would be together this often.

Eli Manning was the biggest 'celebrity problem' for Entourage because he ghosted the production after requesting a cameo.

The real biggest problem I had was Eli Manning. ... After they won the Super Bowl... my cell phone rings and it's Eli Manning. He's like, 'It's my favorite show, I want to be on it.' I'm like, 'Well, then you're on it.' Now cut to six months later... Eli does not call me back. I've now written a script... I'm calling his agents. Nothing.

I almost killed off Vinnie Chase in the series finale

I thought about killing Vince to end the show. ... Mark [Wahlberg] sat me down and goes, we're going to make a movie. We're going to make a Broadway show. We're going to make an animated show. You can't fucking kill Vince. So that ultimately was probably the right decision.

Men still talk the way characters in Entourage do, despite critical claims that the dialogue has gone out of favor.

Of course guys still talk this way. ... My defense of these four guys or five was that they were really all good guys and they were all about each other and they weren't predators... so you can take it or leave it but that's what it was.

Literally the first conversation I ever had with Tom Brady after he signed with the Bucs was... straight to, hey, I need you to shove a towel down your ass so you don't get my hands sweaty. ... how much baby powder to put down my crack. ... hamburger style first and then, hot dog style and then, shove it down there.

Joe Flacco has a gentle hand placement compared to Ryan Fitzpatrick

Joe [Flacco] probably because he never actually really got really that far in there. He was almost like a low backhand placement. So I'd say he's probably the most gentle. ... every time [Fitzpatrick] would get under center, he'd give a little bit harder of a tap.

Playing in empty stadiums would be a major advantage for centers because there is no crowd noise.

It'd be great for me because there'd be no crowd noise. ... I snaps the ball early in the New Orleans game at home... I'll take responsibility for that one.

Texas A&M's biggest rival is fun

I've always said Texas A&M's biggest rival is against fun. So it makes sense. Like, you know, you go to Texas A&M and you wear your class ring and you do trick shots.

Tyler (Beardo) from Dude Perfect's dad being their agent is the most obvious thing ever.

Has there ever been a more obvious thing than Tyler's dad being their agent? And Tyler's dad rocking like a backwards hat and Under Armour type t-shirts all the time? This all makes sense.

There is clear internal animosity within Dude Perfect toward Tyler (Beardo).

There is absolutely some animosity towards Tyler. ... When the cameras come on, Beardo really always comes out to shine. And you could read him between that line and be like, [Garrett] does not like Beardo and thinks that Beardo's a dick when the cameras are off.

Dude Perfect is essentially a kids' show and I would rather have my son watch them than anything else on the internet.

It's a fucking kid's show. ... If my son shows me when he's nine years old, like 'Check out this, Dad, I found this,' I'm like, 'Good,' because I'd rather you watch this than whatever's out on the fucking internet. ... This is the good path for like a regular young kid.

Duck Hodges will have a 12-year career as a lucrative backup quarterback

I also think that our friend duck duck Hodges has kind of set a little career path in place for himself where he could be the backup behind Big Ben and then he could sign a lucrative backup quarterback contract elsewhere.

Horace Grant would defeat Michael Jordan in a one-on-one fight

I would actually take Horace Grant in a fight. You forget the Charles Oakley goes everywhere MJ goes, but one-on-one though, if you see Horace Grant, he's like six-nine, 250. He still looks jacked as hell.

The bump against Goldberg at Super ShowDown 2019 was inches away from being catastrophic

The Undertaker vs. Mankind 'Hell in a Cell' included an outer-body experience

The Undertaker would walk slower to the ring if he knew the match was going to be bad

A lot of times that would just depend on my opponent. If I was working with somebody that that was pretty limited... I was like man I got to get I'm gonna get my money's worth out of this entrance. So yeah there there were times that I would take a little bit of extra time because I knew the match is going to be horrible.

I couldn't take movie roles because playing a different character would ruin the Undertaker persona

I turned down other outside projects because to me, my mindset on this whole process was like I can't go and do a movie where I'm a different character and then come back and then try and be Undertaker. It was just too big of a disconnect.

Reggie Miller's 'throw away the game plan' quote is what losers say in Game 7s

I knew that there was a difference between Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan was in this documentary when Reggie Miller said, when you get to Game 7, you just throw away your game plan entirely because it's all about who wants it more in a Game 7. It's like that's exactly what somebody who loses a Game 7 says. Like, yeah, the whole like they wanted it more and you don't have a game plan.

It's going to keep getting more and more fractured. That will be the most watched NBA game of all time.

The 1998 Bulls definitely would have won a 7th championship if they had stayed together

the ending obviously broke my heart because it's like they definitely would have won a seventh in my mind. That was the lockout year, so they would have had a lot of – they would have had a lot of rest. They wouldn't have had to start for a long time... If they had brought it back for another year, it would be tough to think that anyone would have beaten them.
