"I think that the show kind of demonstrated that these hillbilly ass hicks southerners who are supposedly hanging black people from trees and beating the shit out of murdering gay people. Not only were they okay with him being gay, they actually were willing to vote for him for governor." — Host discussing the political leanings observed in "Tiger King."
"The Patriot Way. And that's the Tom Brady Way. It's not TB12. That's what Belichick is probably thinking. Why are you getting your fucking panties in a bunch about this? We had a sit down every year where I said I was going to, I was going to release these players and I was going to get rid of these players and trade these players. And you were totally okay with it and on board with it." — Host analyzing Tom Brady's perceived dissatisfaction with the Patriots' organizational structure.
