Donald Trump has slept with over 3,000 women

Donald Trump is banging 15 to 20 women a week... in his 20s and 30s, he had as many women as Hugh Hefner... I put the overrun with 3,000 women. He's fucked. No issue about it. And I'd say I'd go over.

This is an unverifiable claim about a public figure's private life.

Joe Flacco is an elite quarterback

Joe Flacco... he does not stink. I think he's amazing. I put him as elite. You give him the right team, he wins the Super Bowl. He won the Super Bowl.

Flacco's elite status is the defining subjective debate of mid-2010s NFL.

You should spend your money on women instead of losing it gambling

Don't be a sucker. Gambling's for losers. Do anything else besides gamble. Do anything else. Spend your money on women. Spend your money on making yourself better. Gambling's for losers. You're never going to win. Ever, ever, ever.

A humorous life take that is mostly a matter of opinion, though mathematically true for the average gambler.

Hillary Clinton and her team are the worst losers of all time

It is official that Hillary [Clinton] and her little orb of weirdos that love to drone attack people and give Wall Street speeches are the worst losers of all time... They literally cannot give it up and they cannot... get it through their head that hey, maybe people just don't fucking like you.

This is a subjective political and cultural opinion.

NFL players should lose their Twitter checkmark if they get cut

They cut him before it was over, but he gets to keep the jersey picture, but I say that you should lose your checkmark. The NFL's a checkmark league.

LeBron James is the biggest dickhead to play with of all time

Basically saying LeBron James is the biggest dickhead to play with of all time. So [Kyrie] can't maximize himself in Cleveland, right?

Whether LeBron is a difficult teammate is entirely subjective and a matter of persistent debate in NBA media.

The quarterback position in the NFL has never been worse

It feels like the quarterback position in the NFL has never been worse in some ways, and these guys are somehow getting more money than ever.

This is a subjective assessment of league-wide talent that changes year to year based on individual performance and incoming draft classes.

A-Rod is attempting to transform Jennifer Lopez into himself

I think A-Rod is trying to turn J-Lo into himself. Because we all know that he loves himself... recently she's been doing a lot of workouts with him in the gym.

Being young is a performance-enhancing drug for partying

Being younger is like a PED for partying. If you meet someone who's under 25 years old, cross the street. Yes, go far away.

Biological factors generally support the idea that younger individuals recover faster and have more stamina for social activities involving alcohol.

Matthew Stafford is the best of the 'sucky' quarterbacks

I actually always say Matt Stafford, you know my two categories of quarterbacks. It's guys who can win you a Super Bowl and then guys who suck. And Matt Stafford is the best sucky quarterback.

This is a subjective categorization of a player's talent and tier.

Incest should be legal if the people involved are attractive enough

There should be a rule against making incest illegal if you're hot enough... every time that you see purebred dog, guess what? That dog's got a shitload of incest in its lineage. If you're above like a nine... you should be allowed to commit incest because those are good genes you got going on.

This is a satirical/subjective opinion and cannot be 'correct' or 'incorrect' in a factual sense, though it is legally incorrect in almost all jurisdictions.

Malcolm Gladwell would probably beat LeBron James in a long-distance foot race

LeBron got challenged by Malcolm Gladwell to a foot race... These fucking nerds, all they do is they go and find the biggest alpha on the block... they're like, hey, I'll challenge you to this sport that's not a sport and we'll make it really long distance so you get super tired. And I honestly can see Malcolm Gladwell winning. Nerds are always faster because they have to run from their bullies from a young age.

This is a hypothetical about Malcolm Gladwell beating LeBron James in a long-distance race. It was never tested and is an untestable opinion about athletic ability.

Joel Osteen only opened his church to hurricane victims because of social media backlash

And it wouldn't have happened [Joel Osteen opening his church] without the backlash. So it did help... If you are a member of the clergy, and you are fabulously, fabulously rich, there's something that feels off about that.

The church opened its doors following intense social media pressure, making this a widely held consensus view.

NFL teams must start rookie quarterbacks early to find out if they have the 'balls of a burglar'

Don't I want to find out early if my guy's got the balls of a burglar? Because if he can't handle getting hit around and throwing picks... then I don't want him three years from now because that's a character flaw. I want a quarterback that when the dog pees on your leg, your girlfriend likes the other quarterback... and the crowd's booing you... can you pull yourself out of that and win?

This is a football philosophy rather than a verifiable prediction, making it subjective.

A solo hungover Chinese food order must be at least $75

If you order Chinese food by yourself, by the way, when you're hungover and you are under $75, you're doing it wrong. Because what you need to do when you're hungover and you're ordering Chinese food is you order every single thing that you might just want a little taste of.

This is a subjective lifestyle take regarding the proper way to order takeout while hungover.

Ice cream is the most efficient way to cool your core down during a hangover

I'm going to go with just ice cream because it's so easy. You don't have to worry about chewing it... it cools your core down when you get that hangover where you're dehydrated and you have that lava core. You're sitting on your couch sweating, but if you have the ice cream, it cools you down more efficiently than anything else could.

While cold food lowers internal temperature slightly, there's no medical evidence it's the 'most efficient' way to recover from a hangover compared to hydration or electrolytes.

Avoid betting on big favorites early in the college football and NFL seasons

Stay away from the big favorites. Either take the points or don't bet the game... Don't buy all the hype about the big favorites all the time.

It is only socially acceptable to burn LeBron James' jersey

Any player that is a traitor to the town that he was born in and then leaves twice. That's fair. So LeBron James. It is now socially acceptable only to burn LeBron James' jersey.

Social acceptability is subjective, but the take is delivered as a joke regarding LeBron's unique status.

Brawls are necessary for people to care about baseball

Brawling in baseball is good for baseball. It's great for baseball. ... Brawls need to happen in baseball for people to care about baseball more than they do right now.

The impact of brawls on viewership or 'caring' is subjective, though brawls certainly generate viral engagement.

The Mayweather-McGregor fight is a lifeline for the sport of boxing

I think boxing, in some respect, should be thankful to Conor McGregor because boxing hasn't been the biggest story in sports, certainly since Mayweather Pacquiao. ... So I think in some respects, this is a lifeline for boxing.

The fight was one of the highest-selling PPVs ever, though boxing's survival being dependent on it is an opinion.

It's better to be the backup quarterback of the Jaguars than the starter

It's better to be the backup quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars than the starting quarterback. He's not going to have all that stress, so he's not going to lose his hair as fast.

Being a backup in the NFL is generally considered a better job 'per hit taken' for high pay, though hair loss is speculative.

The architect of the condos Ryen Russillo was arrested at is on the hook for his arrest because they all look identical

I got a tweet that said, 'I have stayed at the same condos that Ryen got arrested at, and they all look exactly alike.' Good enough for me. So the architect is on the hook for this one, and the people who woke him up from his nap.

This is a humorous opinion and cannot be factually verified, though it became a core part of the Russillo-PMT lore.

Anyone who isn't 'Team Russillo' is on the wrong side of history

This is a heavy one, but you don't want to be on the wrong side of history. So if you're not Team Russillo, you're going to be on – history will not look fondly upon you.

History generally views the incident as a funny, drunken mistake rather than a serious crime, aligning with the hosts' stance.

We should resolve the Confederate statue controversy by shrinking them by half every year

What I propose that we do is we just make every Confederate statue half the size that it is right now, year after year after year. So guess what? They're never going to go away. ... It'll be a penny.

Celtics fans have no right to complain about trading draft picks for Kyrie Irving

I don't understand Celtics fans that have been bitching and moaning about Danny Ainge not trading picks... and then when he does trade it, being like, well, we should have held on to that pick. Because you just got a guy who is [a] top five scorer in the NBA, a guy who can score in the finals of the NBA finals.

While Kyrie was an All-Star in Boston, the tenure ended poorly with no finals appearances, and the pick traded (which became Collin Sexton) was valuable, though not franchise-altering.

The Kyrie Irving trade is a huge win for the Celtics because they now have a core of Gordon Hayward, Al Horford, and Kyrie Irving

I think this is a great trade. People said that Danny Ainge couldn't get free agents to Boston. Now they have Horford, Kyrie, and Gordon Hayward.

Jon Jones is firmly on the Mount Rushmore of steroid users along with Lance Armstrong, A-Rod, and Barry Bonds

He now goes firmly, I think he was already in there, but he is firmly in the Mount Rushmore steroid users. It's like him, Lance Armstrong, probably A-Rod... Barry Bonds.

Every major sports league, especially the UFC and MLB, should legalize performance-enhancing drugs

We really do need like a rogue every league where steroids are allowed. Mostly UFC though... Baseball and UFC... Just every sport, you should just legalize it.

Laughter is a universal language that predates spoken word.

Millennials aren't less interested in breasts; they just don't need to Google photos of them because they are actually having sex.

The Bears signed Mike Glennon and Mark Sanchez specifically as a 'buffer' so they wouldn't have to sign Colin Kaepernick.

The Bears basically gave themselves a buffer against Colin Kaepernick. They're like, if we sign enough mediocre quarterbacks, no one can say, hey, the Bears should have signed Colin Kaepernick.

Subjective strategy analysis, though many analysts at the time shared the view that teams were over-stocking mediocrity to avoid the Kaepernick PR circus.

The Ryan brothers are 'football guys' for life, even when they aren't coached.
