MLB players should wear their own team jerseys during the All-Star Game

My second take is... the jerseys. I do think it's bullshit. They should wear their own jerseys in the all star game. I don't like these... Everyone's wearing the same color. The cool part of it is like one side wears all road and one side wears all home. That's cool. You get to see all of the jerseys on the field at once.

This is a subjective preference about uniform aesthetics.

The MLB All-Star Game should still decide home-field advantage in the World Series

My second take is... now this one's gonna get hated on, but I kind of sort of wish the all star game still decided home field advantage in the world series. I like it. It was one of those rules that was objectively unfair... but it still was kind of fun.

Subjective opinion on game rules.

The Home Run Derby should return to the 10-outs format instead of using a clock

My third old man take is I wish the homerun Derby went back to 10 outs. Because they took the simplest thing in sports, which is big man, standup plate, mashed dogs. And we not... the most simple part is we get to watch dogs. Yeah. We get to watch the dingers land... Now, it's just chaos. There's three balls in the air at the same time. It's hard to keep up with.

Subjective preference for a competition format.

The MLB Home Run Derby was rigged for Albert Pujols

MLB homerun, Derby rigged. Big time. One of Albert Pujols' home runs should not have counted. He also, his pitcher had not even started his wind up when the clock hit zero and then Schwarber may or may not have had dinger taken off the board because they couldn't keep track of all the balls in the air.

While there were widely reported timing discrepancies in the Pujols/Schwarber round, a formal 'rigging' was never proven. It remains a popular sports conspiracy theory.

Aaron Judge will hit 62 home runs this season

We need Aaron judge to hit 62 home runs. Yep. That's what will keep our attention going. He's got 33 at the Allstar break. So come on.

In 2022, Aaron Judge went on to hit exactly 62 home runs, setting the American League record.

The mob deserves a better reputation because they built Las Vegas

The mob, shout out the mob. Mob gets a bad rep. They built Las Vegas for us. That's a fact. Say what you will about the mob. They built Las Vegas. Okay.

Hot TakeLifeHotSarcastic
The mob's historical role in developing Las Vegas is well-documented, though the 'bad rep' being undeserved is an opinion.

One of the hosts must die before Pardon My Take splits up

I already said that one of us just has to die before we split up. So just remember that part. ... Bands split up, like things, you know, like this happens. Teams split up. I feel like we're just so new to podcasting that like the podcast split up haven't really... we've had Desus and Mero. One of us will die. Promise you that.

The show is still ongoing with both hosts as of late 2024.

Climbing Mount Everest is now effectively 'glamping'

Everest is also kind of glamping nowadays. No, I mean, but that actually makes it worse for him because Everest is not even cool anymore. Everyone climbs Everest. I remember when Everest was like, oh, don't climb Everest. You'll fucking die. Now everyone fucking climbs Everest. There's like huge lines. Yep.

While commercialization is high, it remains extremely dangerous. This is a subjective valuation of the difficulty.

Zach Wilson's alleged off-field drama gives him a 'coolness' he lacked as a rookie

So it's, it's good because it, it, it gives him some CRA some coolness. ... I like him. Even if, even if he was a Virgin, I would like him. I just want him to, I just want him to play well, man. ... Especially now that I heard about the quarterback.

The 'coolness' factor is subjective to fans and teammates.

Squids have the largest eyeballs in the animal kingdom

Squids had the largest eyeball in the animal kingdom. Bigger than elephants. Oh yeah. I guess that would make sense. Right? There's just giant squid. ... Colossal squid. He's right. Damnit he's right.

The giant squid and colossal squid are documented as having the largest eyes of any living creature, measuring up to 27cm (about 11 inches) in diameter.
