Jim Nantz's wallet toast card was actually a prank on a reporter

So the card is a prank, but he does like his Toast Nantz style... Nantz ordered his special brand of toast... I made sure the reporter saw the card and when he asked about it, I said, well that card has saved me a lot of hours.

The story from golf.com confirms it was an intentional gag by Nantz's assistant.

Joel Embiid believes the current LeBron James is not the same as the dominant version from years ago

The LeBron now is not the LeBron that was a couple of years ago. So it's a big difference. Everybody would also tell you, and you can see for yourself, the athletic LeBron dominant that he was a couple years ago is not the same that he is now.

LeBron's stats and impact at age 39 are arguably lower than his peak, but he remains an All-NBA caliber player. Embiid's claim is subjective but grounded in reality.

Taylor Swift fans did not invent 'gig tripping'; hippies have been doing it for decades

This is from the article. Gig Tripping Combines travel with music, with people willing to merge vacation plans with a music event... This is literally what hippies have been doing for decades. Decades and decades and decades.

The concept of 'following' a band (Deadheads, Phish phans) is well-documented long before the Eras Tour.

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.

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.
