On a recent episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” host Stephen Colbert shared a personal revelation with the audience. He disclosed that he had given up swearing for Lent, and it had been more challenging than he anticipated. Swearing, according to researchers, has been linked to increased pain tolerance and physical strength, making it a truly magical phenomenon that we all share.
Colbert humorously highlighted how even liberal politicians have been embracing the power of swearing since the election of Donald Trump. One Democratic senator described Trump’s economy as “down,” but everything being “more expensive and services are getting [bleep].” Oregon Representative Maxine Dexter also used colorful language during a recent rally when she exclaimed, “We have to [bleep] Trump!”
While society may see many cherished values eroding, one institution that remains steadfast is baseball. The MLB recently unveiled a new line of hat designs that superimpose the team logo over the city name, resulting in some amusing combinations. The “MMMMI” Marlins, the Cleveland “Guac-aans,” and the “De-doiiii’t” Tigers are just a few examples of the creative designs. Even the famed Red Sox cap reads “Bobon,” which Colbert cheekily suggests is what Fenway Park patrons shout when ordering a shot of Jim Beam.
Some of the hat designs have raised eyebrows, like the Los Angeles hat that reads “Anaels,” showing fans how the letters can be rearranged. For Houston fans, the “As-os” hat demonstrates their usual competition with the “Anaels.” However, the Texas Rangers hat with the word “Tetas,” Spanish for “tatas,” caused a bit of controversy. Fortunately, the MLB removed it from their website, but Colbert jokingly suggests it might make a comeback as part of their MLB After-Dark collection.
The MLB’s new hat designs are sure to stir up conversation and add some playful humor to the upcoming baseball season. Fans can reminisce about their favorite teams with the San Diego Leather Padres, the Toronto B Jays, and the Minnesota Aaaaaand Twinssss. In the meantime, viewers were left eagerly awaiting the next segment with actor Michael Fassbender.
