Debate on March Madness Upsets
00:02:55
Speaker
We appreciate you tuning in. All right. So as I mentioned, March Madness has been crazy this weekend. And yes, there were some blowouts. That will happen in the early weekend when you have these high seeds that are going against the really low seeds. But there were still some really good games, and there were still some upsets. Jake, I have a feeling.
00:03:18
Speaker
I have just in just a little inkling of a feeling. I know where you're going to with this prediction. Now, I could be wrong. So let's put us back on the front screen and see what you really got to say.
00:03:32
Speaker
Who do you have as your biggest game, best upset of the first weekend of March Madness? Omar, this is a clear winner. In fact, you should already omit your
Team Analysis: Duke and Texas
00:03:45
Speaker
decision and go with what I go with.
00:03:47
Speaker
Because I'm telling right now, there's only three words I have to say. knew it! I knew it! I knew it! How y'all think that the Longhorns weren't coming with a motherfucking fight. 74 to 68 to Gonzaga? Did anybody have them beating them?
00:04:09
Speaker
you know No, no. I can talk to you my final four. Screw you, Longhorns. Screw you, Horns. Down, baby. How about that? My boy Jordan Pope stepped up, showed up, and showed out, and said, bye-bye, bitches. We'll see you later.
00:04:24
Speaker
I'm telling right now, I think this team has a chance to win it all. There is a team, however, that I think is on their way to the ending because they have the toughest road ahead.
00:04:35
Speaker
And I'm going to go the Duke Blue Devils also are scaring me with what they're doing. They have the toughest road to the championship. And after that beginning... How can I stay at a little scary type of game against Sienna?
00:04:49
Speaker
They showed up and whooped TCU's ass faster than I've beaten your ass every time we fought this year on this show, idiot. Come on, man. I'm telling you right now. Wait a second. Wait.
00:05:00
Speaker
Wait a second. Are you a Duke fan too? i love Duke. I love Duke. Oh, my God. You are the most bandwagon fan i have ever seen in my whole entire life, bro. You're a Yankees fan. You're a Duke fan. You're a little punk. want you to call it at Duke, man.
00:05:19
Speaker
You didn't go to no Duke. They wouldn't let you step foot on the campus of
Jersey Retirement Debate
00:05:25
Speaker
Duke before calling ICE to arrest your ass and deport you to El Salvador wherever. You of trash.
00:05:34
Speaker
You didn't go to no damn Duke. Get out of here with that crap. Can I not say that my boy ah Dan Shire is not doing a better job than Coach K in his first four years? Shire? How about you get his name right?
00:05:46
Speaker
Huh? Ed Shire? Is that his name? Is that your coach's name? said it's Dan Shire. Dan Shire or Dan Hurley for UConn? That's not his name, buddy. John Shire is his name. My fault, my fault, my fault. Yeah, get it correct. Mr. I went to Duke. Don't even know the coach's name. John Shire showed up, and he's doing well with it, and I think they're going to win it all. i think they get I wish Texas would because that's my first home.
00:06:14
Speaker
That's the love of my life. but overall, if I see Duke or the Longhorns raise up that trophy, now I'll be more than happier than ever. Man, you're such a bum, and I knew you' i know you're a bum. You're a homer, and I knew you were going make that pick, which is why before I even get to my pick,
00:06:35
Speaker
You have been totally evincerated. And we don't even have to we don't even have to get to my pick. I don't even need to give mine because you have already proven how much you suck and how much of a homer you are by picking the Texas Longhorns when there's a much better upset sitting right there in front of air everybody when high point Who the deuce is High Point? Yes, let the professor inform you about
MLB Preview and Audience Interaction
00:07:05
Speaker
this little, small, small, tiny university called High Point.
00:07:12
Speaker
Tiny, but proud. And High Point University came out and laid an ass whooping. It wasn't ass whooping. It was a very close game. One point victory. Still tremendous over the number five ranked Wisconsin Badgers. Yes, shout out to High Point. I think, yeah I believe they are in North Carolina.
00:07:35
Speaker
If I'm correct, you would know if you went to Duke, Jake. But since you didn't and you're a fraudulent bum that claimed to go to Duke, you probably don't even know where they're from. But shout out to another team that did beat another North Carolina team, the VCU Rams, once again at number
Aaron Judge vs. Shohei Ohtani Debate
00:07:55
Speaker
11, beating those bum blue bloods. What great alliteration for a Puerto Rican on a live TV show. The Blue Bloods from North Carolina, are we don't even know if they're Blue Bloods anymore. We don't know what happened to them. youber davis
00:08:10
Speaker
Hubert Davis about to get the boot. You're right there, straight ass. And shout out to VCU for whooping that ass. The Rams did it again. You made two teams, and you haven't even picked the biggest. See, those are my two homers. The biggest upset of the whole entire game was Iowa beating Florida. Did you not watch that game, you piece of trash? That is a great upset. That was huge.
00:08:30
Speaker
That was beyond huge. That was my other pick, yes. I think there's a scarcity, and I don't want to get us into the into the future of next week's show, but I'm going to give an inkling. I think we got a serious situation with this Big Ten going on.
00:08:44
Speaker
Big Ten? Six Big Ten teams in the Sweet 16? In IL deals, I think it's going somewhere, Omar. That's a sweet reason for next week, guys. Get ready. This Big something else. I'm telling you right now, Omar.
00:08:57
Speaker
It's getting serious. They're doing it in already college football, and now they're doing it in but college basketball. We better be worried. Time to step up, guys. SEC, I'd be scared if here we are.
00:09:08
Speaker
And not only that, the SEC, as you mentioned, they were the one that had all the teams in the men's tournament last year when they had seven teams in like the top, you know, i think it was a sweet 16 or something like that. Anyways, the the women and men both this year, Big Ten is the conference you want to be in.
00:09:24
Speaker
When you were talking basketball, both men's and women's, shout out to my UCLA lady Bruins whooping ass over the weekend. They're on a collision course with
Reflecting on Jersey Retirements
00:09:35
Speaker
UConn, not bum ass Texas. Although shout out to Madison Buckley in Texas as well.
00:09:40
Speaker
um Out there playing. Well, I can't hate on the ladies. LSU is doing the unthinkable right now over there on the women's side. even though I hate on bum-ass Blake, I mean Blake, Jake, and you have been brutally eviscerated. Get out of here, hater.
00:09:56
Speaker
Get out of here, hater. What do y'all think? Who was a who do y'all have in that one? What was the best game? Was it his Homer, Texas pick. Or was it my high point over Wisconsin? Iowa over Florida is a good pick as well. And yes, I called you Blake. You should actually be happy with that. That's one of my ah one of my best friends in the world. His name is Blake. lee you should You should be happy with that one.
00:10:19
Speaker
Anyways, we'll keep it moving. It was a, what do they call that? It was a Freudian slip. As we keep moving. in
Excitement for MLB Opening Day
00:10:25
Speaker
Shut up. into the and I'm trying to go fast-paced on this show. It's hard to talk. All right. Let's keep it moving into the next one. The next topic. Look, y'all.
00:10:36
Speaker
i did not even make a I did not even want to waste my time. so I make slides for the show, like the picture you just saw for the March Madness. I'll make those.
00:10:47
Speaker
So we have like a picture to show before we go on. Anyways, I was going to do that for this topic and I almost started throwing up. I almost started dry heaving because it was so hard for me to make a slide for this topic.
00:11:03
Speaker
Because I hate FUSC so much. Hold on, that's not a baseball, but a football. Let me change that, my bad. I hate FUSC Trojan condoms so much,
Final Arguments and Viewer Engagement
00:11:15
Speaker
and they would be the dumbass organization to try to pull some shit off like this.
00:11:22
Speaker
But listen up, y'all. The USC Trojan conden condoms went to one of their greatest... Players of all time, Matt Leinert, and asked him on multiple, ah apparently multiple, I said, occasions to unretire his number 11 jersey. And this is the Matt Leinert, who again, obviously Heisman Trophy winner, won the national championship with Reggie Bush. They have asked him a few times now to unretire for these five stars that are coming into these programs now, especially with, again, the tease that Jake had with NIL.
00:11:59
Speaker
A lot of these high schoolers may be feeling a little more entitled. You could also look at it from the other way and say
Show Conclusion and Promotions
00:12:05
Speaker
they're more business savvy and just better business people. However you look at it, we're going to talk about that next week, NIL. But this week, what do you think?
00:12:14
Speaker
Is it okay for USC to request that Matt liner unretire his number? Jake, what do got to say? I know you're a piece of trash and you're going to hate on them in general and hate on both. I know you are.
00:12:28
Speaker
You're a punk for that, but let me add this in real quick. I honestly see both sides and let me explain them because I know you're not even going to pick a side between either one. You're just going to hate on them. You piece of trash.
00:12:41
Speaker
Look.
00:12:44
Speaker
You know me all too well. I get what USC is trying to do. And I'll be honest with you, I do not believe college, players should ever have their jersey retired.
00:12:55
Speaker
With that being said, FACTS! say and Say it louder again for the people in the back because I didn't know that's what you were going to say. I was going to say that in my argument too. That is facts on facts on facts on facts.
00:13:10
Speaker
At the same time though, behind closed doors, you and me both were talking about this pre-production and you even said Matt Leiner is the best quarterback that came out of California in college.
00:13:21
Speaker
Of all time. Omar, don't do that. Don't do that, Omar. You're saying face. You said that out of your own mouth. You said it. Now shut up.
00:13:32
Speaker
Get quiet and let me speak. Don't do it. You closet USC fan. As I was saying, with that being said, I do get what Matt Liner says.
00:13:45
Speaker
He made history. In fact, he made a dynasty. The only reason and they didn't three-peat is because of Texas Longhorns, and we know the Vince Young story. But I get Matt Leiner's point of the only person that should wear it because he got it retired, and they gave it to him.
00:14:03
Speaker
It's like the Heisman thing with Reggie Bush. They screwed him over with that. It's his. Yeah, that was foul. With this. I think he's right. The only person is whoever Matt Liner wants the next person to do it. And he said it It's his sons.
00:14:19
Speaker
Now, mind you, I know you're about to go on this soliloquy and I don't want it. I'm not going to interrupt you. But at the same time, I want to remind you that UCLA has a bunch of scrubs and has never had anybody that could miss Matt Liner's career ever in the history of the UCLA Bruins.
00:14:37
Speaker
There's not even one player, one person ever that ever sniffed what Matt Liner did for USC themselves. He himself is a better college overall player than anything UCLA has ever created. You and I both know that. brilliant Go ahead. The floor is yours, Travis.
00:15:00
Speaker
You know I'm right. And you know I'm right. That may be the dumbest, most ignorant, most asinine statement that your bum take as has ever said in the three years we have been streaming together.
00:15:30
Speaker
First of all, before I even get to the bum-ass USC Trojans, the FUSC Trojans, and before I even get to bum-ass Matt Leinart, you know how I know you're young?
00:15:47
Speaker
You know how I know you're young? Because, see, you can't even remember. Here go with these little young jokes. ahead. You can't even remember Back to a amazing, amazing quarterback who, by the way, went on later to win three Super Bowls as well.
00:16:12
Speaker
Troy Aikman, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, was the quarterback for the UCLA Bruins in 1988 when he won the Davey O'Brien Award for the nation's top quarterback. And it's how I became a UCLA fan. So if you don't shut your mouth with better quarterbacks, Matt Leiter couldn't sniff the jockstrap of Troy Kenneth Aikman. And if you ever besmirch his name again, I will come through this screen and I will smack the hell out of you. What did you say?
00:16:51
Speaker
Matt Leiner would have won five chips if he had that same Dallas Cowboys team. Mind you, it's all about where you ended up being. Don't do that. He would have won five of them instead of the – Troy Aikman underachieved.
00:17:04
Speaker
Let's not forget that. He underachieved with those Cowboy teams in the 90s. They should have won five. day And even Michael Irvin said they should have had five. So don't do that, Omar.
00:17:16
Speaker
Don't do that. Matt Liner got a bad hand going with the bum-ass Arizona Carvers where he never skips shit their life. It always depends on where you land. Don't do that. Matt Liner's a better overall quarterback than Troy Aikman, and you know it, and I do too.
00:17:32
Speaker
Get the fuck out of here. What the fuck is a Gollum? It's monster. Get the fuck. What? Are you... What are you even, I don't even know.
00:17:43
Speaker
I'm talking about skill based. I'm not talking about career because we know what happened. The skill base as they were going into the NFL, he had better skills than Troy Aikman. And you could say that on a silver platter. He didn't have you the freaking Pimmons fist. He didn't have Michael Irvin, the Great Wall of Dallas.
00:18:05
Speaker
Come on, man. Don't do that, Omar. And you know that too. Come on. Have some peace of mind. Stop hating on USC. Don't lie. Whenever you're messing with those women you do, you got a Trojan on.
00:18:19
Speaker
Stop it. Stop hating on USC. You are reckless.
00:18:27
Speaker
Well, done I mean, first of all, first of all, reckless abandon is what it used to be. Yeah. Reckless abandon is what I use. Look, I mean, hey,
00:18:40
Speaker
I don't know how you know. i Maybe you were you know when you were visiting Nashville that one time, you snuck through my drawers and saw all the magnums that were in there because you wouldn't know a magnum unless it slapped you in the face with your teeny lee weeny little ah short stack man you got going on. Easy, big fella. Easy. Don't do that.
00:19:05
Speaker
Teeny weeny, teeny weeny, shriveled little. Little short. That's what you are. That's what you are. all Anyways, the only Trojan condom on this program is you. F USC. F Matt Leiter. F your opinion. Because Matt Leiter ain't close to as good as Troy Aikman.
00:19:26
Speaker
Will never be close to. Not even in career history. not in skill, not in even getting ladies back in the 90s. The only thing that Matt Leinart can do is be a bum and go be in the studio now while Troy Aikman's still the highest-paid commentator in the business. So tell Matt Leinart to keep following up from the rear because Troy Aikman and his three Super Bowl rings and UCLA Davey O'Brien award-winning trophy has come through and like you been totally eviscerated
00:20:08
Speaker
what do y'all think Should USC be allowed to actually ask Matt Leinart to un-retire his number, or do you think that is BS and they really shouldn't be allowed to do it? um Look, one thing that Jake said at the beginning of this argument, and I want to go back to it, and it was complete and utter facts, is that College numbers should not be retired in the first place. agree with that. Clip that.
00:20:37
Speaker
You can clip that because there is no – this is not professional sports, all right, y'all? And plus, in college football, with walk-ons and everything and scholarship players, you've got like 70, 80 players. That's true. How are you supposed to enumerate a roster? Yes, I said enumerate for you marks that don't know the dictionary. It means to fill out your numbers.
00:21:00
Speaker
Right. What do you do? You can only go from zero 100. You start ah um you know retiring bums like Matt Leiter. Then you're going to run out of numbers real quick.
00:21:11
Speaker
ah Don't do that. Yo, let's get to some comments here. um Shane says, pre no, no, don't even listen to him. that Because you know, Peach, you know I would not have said that. true.
00:21:27
Speaker
I didn't know he was going to say that, which is hilarious. Now, I was not prepared for that Troy Aikman argument, but luckily I know my Troy Aikman because I wasn't planning on doing it. Yeah, he's young. He forgot about Troy Aikman. because he didn't know about Troy Aikman because he wasn't even born when Troy Aikman was on UCLA because he was born in like 1998 or some shit, like 10 years later. He was born 1981.
00:21:52
Speaker
You were not – I wish I had a liar button right now. I wish I had a liar a little sound clip right now because that's what I would give you right now. You're lucky to have some good news the world.
00:22:08
Speaker
Someone booed that man 1981 my ass First of all I'm not giving away my my age On this program But you should damn sure hell ain't older than me And I wasn't born in 1981 So get the hell up out of here Amul shout out We appreciate you tuning in Says Mark Rippon, John Elway, Randall Cunningham All better than Leinert I don't know what that has to do with anything Amul Since we were talking about California quarterbacks He was the best California quarterback in pre-production Are they all from California? Yeah, Elway started in Stanford.
00:22:41
Speaker
So I forget where Cunningham started, but those are all California type of. You're right. I didn't agree with you whenever you said Matt Liner was the best quarterback that came from California.
00:22:53
Speaker
I mean, he's not better than Aikman. Thank you. Thank you, Amul. Appreciate it, my brother. By the way, you know, shameless plug there. I'm talking about before they joined the team, he had a better look. Like, he had a better...
00:23:07
Speaker
Ceiling is what I'm trying to say. Craig, mean, is Matt Craig still going to set the floor, bro? Come on. no So you know what that means to me when you're saying he had?
00:23:18
Speaker
Had, first of all, his past tense, right? So he had a better ceiling. The only thing that means to me is Matt Leiner never reached his ceiling because he's a bum just like you. And he sat on the floor. Now you sit your ass on the floor and take this ass whooping like a grown-ass man.
00:23:35
Speaker
And that gives me a good time to segue for everybody watching right now. Please tune in Thursday for the Super Season Baseball Preview. Yes, we're going live on opening day. I say this because Amul will be there. Jake, if you want to be there, you're more than welcome to join us as well. From 7 to 9 Eastern, we will be going super season preview. Again, Amul will be there. um I just invited ah Jake. I invited Peach earlier today, by the way. Peach, I invited you to the baseball as well. So, everybody, I sent you messages today. If you got a message, come join 7 to 9 Eastern Thursday. um Opening day is going to be going all day, so we're going to be going on while the games are on. We're going an awesome preview leading into the Audible podcast. Shout out.
00:24:22
Speaker
to Bobby G from the Audible podcast. ah Y'all tap in with them as well. We're talking about college years, guys. they're They're taking it to extreme. They're taking it to to the NFL.
00:24:34
Speaker
College years, he was the best quarterback is what Omar said pre-production. He was the best quarterback from California. I still don't agree. That's not what I said. and i never i i really need i really need I really need you to stop lying and saying that I said something that did not.
00:24:51
Speaker
Okay, whatever. First of all, i would never say that when I have – you know what? It doesn't even matter. The fact of the matter is that he that even if I did say that, that would be a lie because he's not better than Matt Leiner.
00:25:03
Speaker
Rodgers went to Cal. Yeah, but they didn't win a – did they win – They didn't do Leiner did. Leiner won two Natties. He won two Natties.
00:25:14
Speaker
Neither one of them did what Troy Aikman did. Thank you. a more Much appreciated. I will see you on Thursday. Yeah, no, we were limited to just get college QBs from California. um ah so But again, I still think Troy Aikman was the best, even if you say Rodgers, even if you say um Brady.
00:25:31
Speaker
And even if you took players born in California, I would probably take cho Troy Aikman. Oh, gosh. Because, you know. That man had a Terry Bradshaw career, bro. He was carried by his freaking team.
00:25:45
Speaker
Wow. you know that's overall. You know that's true. Wow. That is blasphemous as hell. What the hell did you just say? Don't say that's true.
00:25:59
Speaker
Did you just say he had the same careers? Look, terry brad foughtugh Terry Bradshaw is a for a four Super Bowl winner, so I'm not here to hate on... I wish I could get these windows right. I'm not here to hate on... check can't get these windows right. I'm not here to hate on Terry Bradshaw, okay? But he's not Troy Aikman. Let's get that correct. Now...
00:26:19
Speaker
The game was different back then as well. A lot more passing as we went through the years. So when you're trying to compare quarterbacks from 20 years before and after, it is a little bit harder to do because the passing game did progress. Defenses were constrained more with the rules, especially the Brady rules that opened up things on offense. But it doesn't matter because in California, in college, Troy Aikman, still better than Matt Liner. Matt Liner still shouldn't have his number retired because neither should Troy Aikman because neither should any college quarterbacks. Hit us in the comments. That's the real question. Do y'all believe that colleges should retire numbers anyways? Look,
00:27:03
Speaker
There's only 100. As we mentioned, football teams have to fill out 70-some roster positions with walk-ons. There's more. You're going to run out of numbers if you're tiring numbers in college sports. This isn't professional. They shouldn't be allowed to do it. What do you think? If it was professional sports, I think it's fine. College, we both agree it's not. Hit us in the comments and let us know what you think about that. Moving on to the last topic of the day with and MLB starting tomorrow. Shout out to them. We'll have a great night. Happy opening day tomorrow, even though it's only one game, the Yankees opening up tomorrow.
00:27:37
Speaker
ah Who are your Yankees playing? You don't even know because you're not a real Yankees fan because you're a bandwagon fan. So you don't even know who they're playing, but they are opening up the season tomorrow against ah who ah you're you're on mute right now.
00:27:52
Speaker
You're on mute right now. They're playing the Giants. Okay, they're playing. Thank you. At least you know something. They're playing the Giants. Hit that like button, whether watching now or on the replay. Subscribe to Ball & Buzz. Thank you and more. Go finish up those notes for the show tomorrow. Hit that like button, everybody. Anyways, they are opening up against the Giants tomorrow. So as I mentioned, we do have an awesome, awesome ah showdown.
00:28:16
Speaker
this isn't necessarily for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the Giants and Yankees, but this is for overall in the MLB right now, right? Because, With the opening day coming, we've got to give a shout out to some of the best players in the game.
00:28:32
Speaker
And when it comes to Major League Baseball, at the top of the heap right now, there are two ah two of the best. And they can, and we're a yeah, you can throw pitchers in there. I know a lot of you might come on and say, oh, well, what about the pitchers? You're leaving out, you know, some of the great pitchers out there. And i look, I'm a fan of the pitchers. But right now we're just talking batters. OK, and we're not just talking batters per se. We're talking players.
00:28:59
Speaker
We're talking people that affect the game as much as possible and pitchers as much as we love them. And this will come into the effect in the argument. I'm trying to hand off. I'm trying to um ah cheese with the word I'm looking for.
00:29:14
Speaker
What are you looking for? It doesn't matter. I'm trying to ah you know stop Jake's argument a little bit before he even gets there. um You're going hate him. Because pitchers are only every five days. So I do understand that you know there's a difference between the effect that you can have on a game between a bitpatter and a pitcher.
00:29:31
Speaker
That being said, obviously, if you've known Jake... Hot Take Jake for a while, or if you've watched the shows that Hot Take Jake and I are on, or if you just even heard the earlier earlier argument, you would already know that Hot Take Jake is a bandwagon fan and is a damn skankies fan. So you should already know before we even get into it, who he's going to pick here. But that being said, let me facetiously and hypothetically and rhetorically, because I don't really need the answer, all three words that you don't know with your small vocabulary, Jake.
00:30:05
Speaker
um No, I love you. Who is MLB's best, Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtari?
00:30:17
Speaker
what Are you going first? You want me to? No, I'm asking you, fool. Go ahead. Okay. Well, here's my first thing. I'm gonna i'm actually going to reverse it on you. Tell me the difference because you talk about LeBron a lot. You hate on LeBron.
00:30:30
Speaker
LeBron. He's a LeBron. Could I not argue that Otani did a LeBron move and couldn't win with the Angels, so he had to piddle his way to the to the sister school of the Dodgers and go buy himself a championship?
00:30:47
Speaker
gift of the luck Omar, I'm looking at all stars around him. I'm looking at Clayton Kershaw. I'm looking at all the guys he's got with him.
00:30:58
Speaker
Of course they're going to win a ring, bro. Aaron Judge is playing by himself. His best player was Juan Soto, and he went to the bum-ass Mets just a year ago. Don't do that, Omar, and you know it.
00:31:11
Speaker
Garrett Cole wasn't hurt all last season. Could not get right. And yet Aaron Judge showed time and time again why he's one of them ones. So mind you, Omar, go look at the home runs.
00:31:23
Speaker
Who has more? Aaron Judge does. Hey, go look at his ah ah the All-Stars. He has way more. He does have more. I'm just saying, Omar, I can keep going on and on and on.
00:31:38
Speaker
All-Stars, MVP, you're barely beating them by one. you have We have three, you have four. But Omar, who has who has the Stilford's plug? That'd be your judge.
00:31:50
Speaker
Remember, baseball is not based on team accomplishments here. It's based on personal stats in baseball. And one thing I saw Ohtani do is suck like piece of trash and Minnie Mouse. Looked like shit over there with the Angels. Couldn't do a damn thing. Aaron Judge is carrying the Yankees.
00:32:11
Speaker
Full headed, hop on my mother truckin' back. Dora the Explorer, backpack, backpack. He's doin' it all. Everything he gotta do for the damn Yankees. While Tony gets to sit there and be the fourth best player and help out the team.
00:32:25
Speaker
There's a difference, Omar. There's a huge difference. And congrats for winning a two-time championship. You know they should've lost last year. You know Toronto should've beat them. But that's fine, all in all. Hey, go celebrate, do your thing.
00:32:38
Speaker
But all in all, you know this, Ohtani couldn't sniff anything off of Aaron Judge. Hell, they're they're over there screaming out, he's cheating, torpedo bass. They're cheating over there. All this and that last year. but This season, Aaron Judge will prove to y'all and everyone once again why he is the best player in the MLB.
00:33:00
Speaker
And it's at least for another two more years. I believe Otani's prime will hit once Judge starts falling. But Judge ain't falling anytime soon. And you know that and I know that.
00:33:11
Speaker
He had to jump on a bandwagon team, Omar. Piece of crap. He looked like shit doing that. He's the KD of the baseball. He's KD of the MLB.
00:33:23
Speaker
And you know it too, Omar. That's why you're laughing with that smirk on your face. Go ahead. Go ahead. Tell me. Tell me what he did. it So what you want me to believe, your argument is that a guy who signed with the horrendous, horrendous franchise in the Anaheim, formerly Los Angeles Angels,
00:33:52
Speaker
played his whole contract out, mind you, didn't leave, didn't force a trade, played his whole contract out. Wasn't his fault that the Angels are so bad they couldn't leverage the greatest one of the greatest duos of all time in Mike Trout and Shohei Otani.
00:34:11
Speaker
So Shohei Otani made the smart business maneuver and went to the team that he could win at, no guarantees of a championship. but went to a team he could win at. If you want the claim that is LeBum or KDS, then fine.
00:34:31
Speaker
Whatever. I don't believe so. He did his contract. He switched over. was first team. If he had been team hunting, maybe, you know, but he also didn't make a spectacle out of it like LeBron did with the bum-ass decision.
00:34:46
Speaker
So let me hit you with some facts, because the facts of the matter is, this is why I always totally abyscerate your ass on this program, is because I know you too well. And I already know the arguments that you're going to come with before you even do it.
00:35:05
Speaker
i already know that you were going to talk about all the things you mentioned. And all the things you mentioned are fine. So let's take a little bit of a look further because of how disingenuous you truly want to be. Mr. Oh, he's got more all-stars than him. Oh, he's got more home runs than him.
00:35:28
Speaker
Oh, he's got such an... Fool, first of all, you're being mad disingenuous considering Shohei Ohtani has played one less season than Aaron Judge. Of course, Aaron Judge is going to lead in all the categories because he's had three. He's had 162 board games. to play. So get the hell up out of here with that. Okay. That's really disingenuous, but I knew you were going to do that. So let me extrapolate the statistics for you. And since you don't know, that's too big of a word of the vocabulary.
00:36:05
Speaker
extrapolate for all you marks out there means to take a number and then future project that number out to see what the number will be in future quarters or years. It's commonly used in marketing. I teach it all the time. So Shohei, I did the math for everybody since I know you don't really know how to do math either, Jake. I want to make sure we get this right for our audience.
00:36:26
Speaker
Shohei Otani has played, has been, and it as it had exactly, excuse me, 9% less at-bats. Aaron Judge has had 4,105 at-bats. Shohei Otani has had During that time frame, I have to give it to you.
00:36:40
Speaker
at batch during that timef frameme i have to give it to you Aaron Judge is the better hitter overall. Damn right he is. He has he hits for a better average. He hits for better slugging.
00:36:54
Speaker
He even has a better OPS because you are correct. He does have more hits, and he does have more runs, and he does have more home runs and more RBIs and all of these things. Is it a lot? Is it what you made it out to be? No, because you were trying to be disingenuous. It's a much smaller thing. Smaller percentage. He is only trailing Aaron Judge in home runs specifically, since that's what you wanted to bring up. Aaron Judge only out-homered him by 55 homers over their careers.
00:37:28
Speaker
That's with one additional season. Okay? Mind you. Your guy is injury prone. My guy is not. my That's another add-on, too. I mean, okay, so he's been injured from time to time. Fine.
00:37:40
Speaker
But what about the other values that he brings? Because, yes, he is a better hitter. But what about the fact that Shohei Ohtani has 45 triples and Aaron Judge only has seven?
00:37:51
Speaker
Why? Because Shohei actually has wheels and Aaron Judge couldn't outrun a bulldog. You don't need to when you're hitting home runs. How about the fact that Shohei has 165 steals to only 65 for Aaron Judge? Again, pointing to that speed.
00:38:10
Speaker
How about the fact that, yeah, he's a great batter, and, yeah, batters have more effect over the game because they play every day instead of once every five game get games, but we can't hold off the fact that Shohei Otani is still one of the best damn pitchers in the league.
00:38:27
Speaker
So not only does he come out – And almost almost as great of a hitter as Aaron Judge is without the pitching. Just almost as great as a player.
00:38:39
Speaker
We just went through the stats. What do you mean? I just went through the statistics for you. He's close, but he ain't no judge. there's Okay. Fine, but then you throw in pitching. Then you throw in pitching. You throw in stealing bases. You throw in the the speed. You throw in all these other things. Yes, Aaron Judge can at least play good defense. I give you that.
00:38:59
Speaker
At least he can play pretty good defense for an outfielder. But if you threw Shohei out there, he'd be able to do that too. So look, if you gave me... And because you're a Skankies fan, I'll let you go ahead and use this analogy to make it a little easier for you. Let's say you had Joe DiMaggio.
00:39:19
Speaker
What a great player. Joe, one of the best players of all time. A legend. One of the best hitters of all time. Aaron Judge is akin to a Joe DiMaggio. I wouldn't say he's there yet, but he's almost there. He is right on the cusp of a Joe DiMaggio, would you say?
00:39:39
Speaker
I would say so. Okay, perfect. And then you have someone like a Shohei. But then you look at Shohei and you think, man,
00:39:51
Speaker
He's just so much better than Joe DiMaggio. He's more in the Ruthian category. He's more in the is he better than Babe Ruth category. You're crazy. Is what we ask. You're crazy. we're not crazy. That is for all the baseball experts out there that see that Shohei is a better player, athlete, pitcher, hitter, overall, better athlete, better player, better MLB, baseball player than Aaron Judge because he does everything and Aaron Judge only hits –
00:40:24
Speaker
Shohei Ohtani, Babe Ruth. Aaron Judge is down here with Joe DiMaggio. And you are down there with both of them in the gutter because you're a bum. And I'm the A side and you're the B side. And you've been totally eviscerated. I want to say this one point. I will not take Ohtani seriously until he changes teams and wins with ah either the – he goes back to to the Angels and wins there.
00:40:51
Speaker
or he goes to a worse team that hasn't won yet and wins there. You want to be great, you make it. You make your – you plant your flag there.
00:41:03
Speaker
You don't join in and help – You're talking like Aaron Judge. you play You're talking like Aaron Judge doesn't play for the evil empire. The Yankees buy all their teams too. Don't act like it's poor, wallowed me. Oh, no. We're the Yankees. We don't have as much money as the Dodgers. No, you have it. And you used to spend it all the time. You don't spend it anymore because you're bums. But I know you remember when you won all those titles back in the 90s and early 2000s when everybody was just – They were built. Don't do that.
00:41:37
Speaker
You're hating Built from money, oh oh yeah only a team Ted DiBiase could buy. Side note, I wanted to give you credit where credit's due. You called this earlier real quick. Breaking news, Hubert Davis will not return as a North Carolina head coach.
00:41:54
Speaker
I am sorry to hear that, Hubert. I apologize that you have lost your job, sir. I'm sure you'll land back on your feet and find another job elsewhere very quickly because you are a good coach. But damn it, man, I'm right when I'm right, and I call it when I call it because you can't have a blue blood program that is depending on a coach that just isn't at that level. He's not blue blood material.
00:42:16
Speaker
Just wanted to say that in before we get to the final ah what's the final one. And ah Hubert Davis, I hope you find a job soon. Prayers for your family. He will. He's a good coach. you've been totally eviscerated.
00:42:33
Speaker
I eviscerate you even when you get fired. I don't care. No, you're not. All right. Moving into the last topic. This is just a fun one we wanted to do for – for MLB opening day again coming up tomorrow. But we want to do a MLB's Best Fan New York City edition. Obviously, Jake is a Yankees fan.
00:42:55
Speaker
Obviously, I am a Mets fan, so we cover the boroughs here of the New York. So we'll go MLB Best Fans. New York Yankees versus the Mets. Why are your Yankees the best fans in Whether we suck or we're good, our fans will show up no matter what.
00:43:14
Speaker
I can't find Mets fans. I'll tell you this, boy. Boy, I saw Mets fans had their hat backwards. Look at you. You got your hat backwards right now. Hey, they're closet fans when you're trash, you do it all every time.
00:43:28
Speaker
Over there hiding away. Boy, what's up with our gaming players? Man, I could have sworn I saw so many Mets fans just pop out the woodworks when they got assigned Juan Soto last year. Oh, hey, we're back.
00:43:40
Speaker
Hey, guys. Come on, man. We stick with our team no matter what. ah Plus, the greatest show ever created, Seinfeld. Always cover the New York mother truck and Yankees for a reason. what is There's a reason why George Costanza wasn't working.
00:43:58
Speaker
For the damn Mets. You go where the... Hey, you go where the lights are the brightest, baby. Come on, man. You know that. You know that. Nobody wants to go play in the basement met stadium.
00:44:11
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. You go where the lights are brightest. And you want to know what? Since you want to bring up Seinfeld acting like you think I didn't watch that show either, one of the greatest shows of all time. You go where the lights are brighted and yeah where the bright lights are brightest. And you want to know where elaine went?
00:44:28
Speaker
He went to the New York Mets and got Keith Hernandez for her boyfriend because she knows where the lights are brightest. Elaine knows that Keith Hernandez is the greatest and better than any Yankee of all time. Don't say that. Babe Ruth is turning in his grave right now. Don't you dare say that. He is. He is. Look, I love me some Keith Hernandez, but that is that would definitely be a false statement for me to say, so I can't say that. But no yeah but you're a liar.
00:44:56
Speaker
And you want to why you're a liar? Because you just used every argument I was going to use for the Mets. You must have dug into my – you're a hacker. is mit's walk On your free time, after you're done throwing around pork rinds and Cheetos at Frito-Lay, you bum, you came in and you hacked my system and took all my arguments. First of all, that's not true.
00:45:16
Speaker
Your fans are fair weather. And when y'all suck, they don't show up to the ballpark. Us Mets, we suck every year. And we still show up and love our team every year, even when we suck. I have been through misery.
00:45:28
Speaker
For the past 30 years, we have sucked almost every year. And I still love my team. And you wouldn't do that because you're a bandwagon bum who would hop on to the Knicks just like LeBron did.
00:45:42
Speaker
How dare you? You know you're the Knicks, and we're the we're like the the Knicks, right? We're the Mecca. That's what I'm trying to say First of all, we aren't anything. Because, again, you're bandwagon. You're a Duke fan. You're a Yankee fan. You're a freaking Arsenal fan. You're ah a Texas Longhorn fan. you're ah yeah How are you going to Duke if you're a Texas Longhorn fan?
00:46:05
Speaker
I like both teams. No, because you're a liar. You didn't go to Duke either. I'm checking them records. i want to see i want to see that transcript. I want that transcript emailed to me immediately.
