The Mona Lisa is an ugly, shitty, overhyped painting

We don't understand the hype of the Mona Lisa whatsoever. It's a fucking chick. And she's ugly. I don't get it... It's a fucking painting. It's so dumb. It's so hyped... It's a shitty painting. If you put that up in my house, it'd be like, take it down. She's ugly.

Anyone who truly dedicates themselves to throwing a knuckleball can make it to Major League Baseball

I think anybody that really dedicates themself to throwing a knuckleball, we'll make it to major league baseball. Agreed.

The scarcity of knuckleballers in MLB suggests it is significantly harder to master than the hosts acknowledge.

Jesus is the chillest bro of all time because he took a three-day nap

Categorizing the resurrection as a 'nap' is an irreverent characterization that cannot be factually verified.

LeBron James is on steroids because of his size and longevity

I will go with LeBron James. I mean, how is he not on steroids? That big. I'm not throwing a flag. That's probably an honorable mention. I mean there's, that's probably an honorable mention.

There is no public evidence or failed tests to support this claim, making it purely speculative/incorrect in a factual sense.

Peyton Manning's wife is a Mount Rushmore steroid user

Peyton Manning's wife. Yep. That was my fourth bet... Alleged, all alleged... we are not saying Peyton did it. No, no. His wife, his wife, his wife is a steroid guy. His wife was coming back from a very bad neck injury.

Based on a real investigative report, but the 'wife' framing is a long-running joke in sports media to avoid suing.

Pepper jack is white dude. It's all white, red and green. You picked a white cheese. If pepper jack's not yellow then no cheese should have been allowed.

Dealing with Hank in the morning is tougher than childbirth

Wishing yourself a Happy Mother's Day or Father's Day for owning a dog is the craziest thing ever
