We should start a 'Crafty Camp' for kids who aren't great athletes to teach them old-man tricks like bank shots and hitting to the opposite field.

We should create a crafty camp where we teach kids who are clearly not going to be great athletes how to do just enough to get by. So it's like be able to shoot a bank shot from the baseline extended. Be able to hit opposite field in baseball... We can give you enough that when you're playing, people are like, ooh, look at that.

This is a hypothetical business idea.

The Cristiano Ronaldo's statue... where he looks like... an emaciated seagull. Let's take down that statue.

The original bust at the Madeira airport was actually replaced in 2018, before this episode aired, but the general opinion that it was hideous remains.

Kim Jong Un has at least a half-dozen clones of himself being kept on a farm in case he dies

I would imagine that he probably has at least a half-dozen clones of his, like actual clones that have been kept in like some weird farm just in case that he does die.

The existence of clones is an unverified and likely satirical conspiracy theory.

I am firmly on the side that Kim Jong Un is dead

I'm firmly on the side of he's dead. I don't buy that it's him [in the new photos]. I think it's just—he looks kind of chunkier too, so it's just a fake Kim Jong Un.

Kim Jong Un subsequently made numerous public appearances, confirming he was alive.

Rich Paul is a great disruptor for challenging the NCAA establishment

The NCAA has created a new rule... any agent that wants to talk to a player... has to have a bachelor's degree. Rich Paul does not... As much as it pains me to say this, I love it. Because I love people who make the establishment super nervous. The NCAA has been just milking everyone forever. Having a disruptor in there... is great for everyone because NCAA will have to change if Rich Paul keeps disrupting.

The NCAA eventually rescinded the bachelor's degree requirement following public backlash, proving Paul's influence as a disruptor.

Adam Silver's public 'discussion' of fan ideas is just a brilliant PR move to appease Reddit

Adam Silver is a genius because he just basically goes on NBA Reddit, reads the most upvoted idea for how to fix the NBA, and then says, we're going to discuss it in this offseason, and maybe we'll make some changes.

The In-Season Tournament did eventually become reality, proving Silver was actually listening to those 'dumb' ideas.

Southern Californian referees conspired to help the Rams win the NFC Championship

Four of the refs, NFC Championship game, were from Southern California, where the LA Rams reside. ... They waited their whole life for the Rams to come back to LA. Then they were like, 'now's our time to strike.' Then they struck.

This is a joke conspiracy theory and was never a factual claim of a proven conspiracy.

Ronda Rousey is in the middle of a 'heel turn' in her media appearances

I have to stay woke on it. I think she's turning heel. This is the start.

Rousey officially turned heel in WWE in early 2019.

Bill Walton's 'WatchESPN' comment was a result of him doing acid in a forest

When Bill Walton says, 'Watch ESPN, I can watch you,' it's because he did acid in the forest and pulled up his Watch ESPN to watch UCLA versus USC, and was like, 'The game's watching me.'

Subjective comedic interpretation of Bill Walton's behavior.

Twitter intentionally releases bad updates just to generate free publicity through news articles.

The Twitter update... is awful but I think Twitter just does this once every few months so people will write articles about Twitter. That's really it. That's just kind of pokes the bee's nest... I think the long con is going to work.

The motivations behind corporate product updates are proprietary and subjective.

You shouldn't complain about robots spying on you if you willingly put an Alexa in your house

I don't feel bad for anyone out there who willingly puts a robot in their living room and then complains when the robots start to take over. ... Don't fucking put a robot that can talk in your house. Once the robots get feelings, then we're all fucked.

Subjective stance on technology and privacy.

The 'Send Beer Money' Venmo kid on College GameDay is a fake viral ad

No, you don't do that. Seemed a little fishy... Nowhere to be found. No one can find Sam Crowder... It's a fake. It's a viral ad.

Sam Crowder was a real person (an Iowa State student) who actually raised over $1 million for a children's hospital after the sign went viral. It was not a corporate ad.
