00:01:16
Speaker
Formerly from the Bottom Line Sports. And yes, we are going to talk all about that today and other sports and entertainment news. My brother Hot Take Jake, how are you doing today, my friend?
00:01:28
Speaker
Man, I miss busting your ass each week. I miss busting your ass each week. With the stupidity you and you. Sometimes you and Clubber D really rub me the wrong way. I'm out there at the gym, clanging and banging, clanging and banging, and I hear some bullshit from y'all.
00:01:42
Speaker
I don't know, man. Y'all be going crazy sometimes. I'm like, what the hell? Clubber D be hating. You and I, yo, y'all be saying some wild stuff, bro. I mean, i don't I don't know what you're talking about. think Ryan Garcia.
00:01:56
Speaker
Are y'all hating on bro Ryan? I mean, we're not hating on on him as a boxer. We're hating on him as a racist. Well, yeah, he is that. He is that. That's the difference. See, if you don't act out and you don't do stupid shit like be racist to other people, which is just dumb in general, then you wouldn't have you you wouldn't be talked about on the program. But when you do stupid shit like that, it needs to be called out.
00:02:18
Speaker
I think you would agree. He's an idiot for what he did. Absolutely. I would say this. He needs to get back on drugs. He's shit without it. I'm just calling a spade a spade. That's fantastic. That is tremendous. I recommend, sir, that you get back on drugs because you were less racially aggressive when you were high. That's great. Well, you never want be high, I guess. At least when I was big, that was always fun.
00:02:47
Speaker
ah Anyways, yes, what's up Deshaun O'Malley, were you shocked by it? ah Sugar Sean O'Malley. Yeah. Oh, you know what? We were going to talk UFC 3 was 16 a little bit anyway. So yeah, let's talk about it now.
00:03:00
Speaker
um First, let let me make sure we talk about everything
Social Media and Promotions
00:03:03
Speaker
first. Y'all make sure that you subscribe at Ball and Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S on YouTube. There's a handy QR code right up top.
00:03:13
Speaker
ah That'll take you to our link tree where you'll be able to find all the different links. You can subscribe to our YouTube, follow our Instagram. Clubber Deans, TikTok, all kinds of good stuff there. So please make sure that you do ah that. And as well, please subscribe and tap in with my brother's podcast, the final Shay podcast with him, ah Matt, and Juan.
00:03:35
Speaker
You can tell these guys have known each other a while because they just be like treating each other like old friends, just like Clever D and I do, just like whatever, just going at it. Yeah, bro. Yeah, exactly. That's what it reminds me of It reminds me of y'all literally. I know have been knowing each other for a while. we've known each other for about nine years now.
00:03:52
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, we've been just be shit talking the whole time. And I like the different personas. Like, Matt is very quiet, but he's, like, very precise. And Juan is, like, kind of like he wants to – he's, like – don't want to say a goofball, but he's very personable. He's very, like, exuberant um most the time. And then you, you just you're just a dumbass. You know who i am. Whatever.
00:04:14
Speaker
Shut up, man. ah Oh, man, that's funny as shit. Okay, so yeah, let's go ahead and touch on UFC right now then. So UFC 316 this past weekend, obviously, we'll talk about the co and the main event. So you asked about Sugar Sean ah versus Marab DeVishwally, excuse me.
00:04:33
Speaker
But Marab DeVishwally, the defending champion, who took the belt from Sugar Sean O'Malley, did defend his championship, choking ah Sean O'Malley out. I figured that was what was going to happen.
00:04:44
Speaker
Clubber D was 3-2 in his club bangers, by the way, picks for the week. So just to let everybody know that, I only picked the co-main and main usually. And i I actually thought that that was how it was going to go.
00:04:55
Speaker
I didn't see – as Clubber D said, it it was going to be similar to the first fight. Sugar Sean didn't show that. I mean, you the other than being quiet up to the fight and not talking as much
UFC 316 and WWE Future
00:05:06
Speaker
trash, which was a pleasant surprise. say that i'm nearpa I heard Jeff say it, that he was being very quiet the whole time.
00:05:12
Speaker
It didn't prove to help anything, though, because he still got he still got choked out. So what did you think?
00:05:18
Speaker
It hurts me because I think that that was the end of an era of one of the greatest. Wait, come on. He's still really young, though. Come on now. Sugar Sean is still very young. Very young.
00:05:30
Speaker
He's only 20-something, right? There's no way can be done. You know how the UFC rotates champions and brings them back? of Omar, Omar. I think he's about to have a Ronda Rousey life.
00:05:42
Speaker
Oh, okay. so you think he I think at short-lived. He had a very high high. and he will never get back to that spot again. That's I saw. Maybe like wrestling or something is what you're thinking. He's going to go WWE style.
00:05:54
Speaker
Well, what I mean by Ronda Rousey is, she remember she was knocking everybody back. No, no, no. i yeah Not literally, but yeah, I got you. I got you. Well, yeah, I mean, he might as well go there. I mean, if you want, he's got good. He does have good trash talk, I guess you could say.
00:06:07
Speaker
He's going to remind me of Connor in a way, just with less pizzazz. Connor kind of ended up leaving. And if he keeps coming back, I think he's done for, bro. I don't think he's got anything left in him.
00:06:19
Speaker
I'm sorry. I think once you start losing, you start losing continuously. It's a slap in face, man. it's not it's not That's not necessarily wrong. we have Obviously, that's not 95% of the time. You see some people that do actually come back when being down. But yes, most of the time, once you start to lose that momentum, ah you end up just the ball rolls down the hill. The rock rolls down the hill. You end up losing more and more as it goes on, and you end up becoming what Clubber D likes to call the gatekeepers.
00:06:47
Speaker
um which you know is not a good place where you want to be. But I still think a lot of those gatekeepers are downright dogs that beat the shit out of people. so Can I ask you one question? Is there a star in that league right now?
00:06:58
Speaker
In the UFC? Yes. Is there a star in the league to where you can be that pumped up? I mean, you're not talking like a Conor McGregor star right now because Jon Jones doesn't fight very active, not at all, and isn't very active at all at all for the company either.
00:07:12
Speaker
um And like sha Sugar Sean was one that you could have looked at like that. Obviously, when you're looking at someone like a, a ah ah what's his name? God, I'm blanking on this. Mahachev, right? He is the best in UFC right now, but the problem is he doesn't, he's he's not he's not that great of a talker. It's, you know, language barrier. That's what I'm saying. That's not a star. That's like having Tim Duncan. There's no Conor McGregor right now. No, there is not. Unless John Jones was to come back and fight.
00:07:40
Speaker
I think that's the only thing hurting this damn franchise. Omar from all, man, we need to have that. Yeah, but the thing is, and you know what? We were going to talk about this later anyway, so we might as well talk about this now.
00:07:51
Speaker
With them being rolled into TKO, Endeavor, ah with with Dana White, Turkey Alla Sheik, and all of these under this company now, there's going to be less that Dana White is going to need to be relied upon and more resources. Although, as we heard recently, the whole company is about $3 billion dollars in debt, apparently.
00:08:11
Speaker
i saw I heard you read that. I heard you read that. So I hope that i hope that that number is not exactly true because that would be bad. But at the same time, Turkey All-A-Chic does have a lot of money. So we see I don't think it's really going to be an issue in the long run of things other than the power but struggle between The Rock and Triple H. But what I do see happening is...
00:08:32
Speaker
The pooling of the resources, the pooling of the fighters, the pooling of stars, boxers and wrestlers UFC and MMA collaborating. going to They already started going to each other's shows. I get that. here you know Not to cut you off. No, please, please. If you have WWE right there in your back pocket, why don't you use them to promote your fighters in a way? like just Just kind of go to them and have a have a school session of how to promote, how to be a good talker.
00:09:00
Speaker
That would be the first thing I would do if I was Dana White. That was a damn astute and amazing observation by you. I think that might be the best sports advice you've ever given. I think that might be the best take you've ever had. That's up there with the Carmelo one. No, that's not. Okay. Don't hate. That video was popular because everybody hated on your take. Carmelo Anthony is a Hall of Famer, so shut your mouth.
00:09:28
Speaker
i anyways um so All so what do you think about that whole in-debt situation, TKO, the Rock Triple H power struggle coming about? How do you feel about all that?
00:09:42
Speaker
I want to know why the Rock is trying to do it. hope it's not true. Here's why. What would make you think it wouldn't be true, though? Because it does seem like, and I love The Rock, but it does seem like that's that's the angle that has been taken. It seems more true, especially that The Rock threw them under the bus. Did you see how he threw them under the bus not too long ago about the whole, talk about The Rock wasn't at WrestleMania.
00:10:04
Speaker
And he went on a Pat McAfee show and explained, hey, they begged me to go on that. ah Remember how he made it turn on them, how he got John Cena to turn and do that? He said, I wasn't even supposed to come back.
00:10:16
Speaker
He said, Triple H and ah Nick Karn call me up and say, hey, our ratings are down at a Elimination Chamber. Can you please come over here and help us out a little? He says, okay, I'll go by. But now that they turned the fans turn on him say, why weren't you at WrestleMania? He says that wasn't even supposed to be at fucking Elimination Chamber.
00:10:33
Speaker
So I agree with, that's why I'm a little scared. Here's the only thing I have issues with. Yes or no, and I love The Rock. The Rock as a wrestler. Businessman, I love him too because he's a great businessman. But when it comes to the world of professional wrestling, WWE, is he going to put that in his first and foremost?
00:10:54
Speaker
Because he's still making these movies. I know Triple H is sitting there and and and in in the back room every week doing his stuff for, you know what I mean? if No, exactly. not story like Yeah, that's the thing. He's not going to do that. He's doing movies.
00:11:07
Speaker
Yeah, that's the thing. He was already a part-time wrestler, and he already runs the UFL. How is he going to be able to run the WWE? Now, he could run it and have underlings. Unless he has somebody, people helping him. I know he his ex-wife, Danny Garcia, is a big helper of him.
00:11:23
Speaker
that Sure, but if you but if you get rid of Triple H, you're not getting rid of the infrastructure. You're still keeping most of the people. You're just getting rid of him. You could always pick somebody i to fill his position. you sean michael h era michaels could Do Triple what Well, I don't know. Would Shawn Michaels do that to his own best friend? No, I don't think so. I'm just saying he could. I'm just saying. this Well, I'm going to ask you this. Do you believe after the Vince McMahon era, Triple H has done a good job?
00:11:48
Speaker
I do. say so. I do. I would say so, yeah. Actually, i think at the end of Vince McMahon's era, it was declining for sure, especially COVID hit it hard, and Vince wasn't able to do the things he wanted to do, and that really hit it hard. But I think that Triple H and has done a really good job because one of the things that really pissed me off that Vince did is what he he ruined NXT for me.
00:12:06
Speaker
Once NXT went from black and gold to this tie-dye colored bullshit that they had for like three months, I completely tuned out. And by time I tuned in, there was a bunch of young bloods ain't never heard about in my life. And I was like, I don't want to watch any of these people.
00:12:19
Speaker
And I watched Battleground last night just to check out. like what And I only liked two people, Obafemi and Trick Williams. And the rest of them were just like, ah, who cares? You know how i know they're failing right now? Because they're trying to get to they're trying to practically buy out TNA.
00:12:34
Speaker
Did notice that? TNA is slowly coming to them. they they Their wrestlers are starting. I think that they know that NXT is failing, so they're just going to buy TNA and have them as practically the next NXT. That's my guess.
00:12:47
Speaker
That would my guess. The partnership is very hot, that's for sure, because AEW does have ah you know their independent partnerships, so WWF wanted to make sure that they were at least getting their hand in there at least. But ah the one they really did buy out already was – was AAA.
00:13:05
Speaker
So you saw they did Worlds Collide for free on YouTube this past weekend. So they they bought out AAA pretty much. So they're going to be having AAA wrestlers and all of their stuff, which is going to be awesome. I love that. Conan on the mic made me pop, and I thought it was tremendous.
00:13:20
Speaker
show I completely agree. All right, cool. Well, the other fight in UFC 316, obviously the co-main event and what got me the most hyped was after Kayla Harrison, the Olympic judo champion, beat the UFC Juliana Pena. or julianna pena um Kayla Harrison called out one goat out of the crowd, one double champ champ out of the crowd, and called Amanda Nunez out. And we are going to see a Kayla Harrison, Amanda Nunez fight.
00:14:02
Speaker
What you think about that?
00:14:05
Speaker
Do you think it was too soon? I mean, it could have been. I'm just worried. Let her get like a you know a defense. Something just tells me there's going be ass busted. Maybe let her get one defense in.
00:14:18
Speaker
yeah I'll give it to her. And you know what? Other people would try and you know get more come-up fights after they win the title and have the other come-up. And then they go in for the heavyweight, you know the big fight.
00:14:29
Speaker
Hey, she took it. She now wants to call out the best in the biz. Go ahead. I mean, I am... I'm worried a little bit. I'll say that. I'm not going to lie you. if i if i was there If I was her and UFC, I would have let i would have wanted to, even if it was me personally too, I would have wanted to at least defend it ah once or twice first because Amanda Nunez is not old. Amanda Nunez is not old. She retired pretty for UFC because fighters fight until they're you know in their late thirty s She's still got it in her, and I could definitely see her pulling the victory out now. I have to examine the matchup further, and me and Clubber D will obviously do that.
00:15:09
Speaker
I know. I can't wait to listen to Clubber D's expertise on it. Me either. i can't I can't wait to see what he says either. so we'll We'll let y'all know and update y'all when that comes further. One other story we'll update you with on Clubber D as well when that comes up. And I wanted to get your thoughts on this. is Netflix has agreed to ah will be showing the Canelo Alvarez-Terrence Crawford matchup on September 13th in Vegas. It is going to be the first fight of the TKO Boxing League.
00:15:39
Speaker
which is that TKO group we just talked about with UFC, WWE, partners with Turkey, Al-Sheik, and the saudi um you know Saudi Fund, the Saudi Boxing Federation.
00:15:51
Speaker
How do you feel about Netflix streaming this? and And, I mean, obviously it may be a little far out. What was Netflix's last fight? Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.
00:16:02
Speaker
And didn't it didn't it have a bad loading at times? It did, yes. Okay. Omar, what are we doing here, buddy? But they did wrestling after. They did WWE after, and it went off without a hitch.
00:16:14
Speaker
WWE has done well, and then they've done NFL since then, too. The NFL on on on Netflix as well. I'll say this.
00:16:23
Speaker
The fight, I'm ready for. Man, boy, you couldn't. And I hope Dana White, you better do a 10 out of 10 with the promoting of this. I better see some promotions a month out, two months out.
00:16:34
Speaker
They talking shit. I want to see it all. Netflix, hold your f freaking game, bro. You want to be the star of the show? This is the time. Yes. if every If you want to put your, yo, whenever it was in their prime and Floyd had, was it HBO? who Who was he with? Was it HBO or Showtime where he was with?
00:16:52
Speaker
I'm moving for Showtime, I thought. Okay. You knew to get Showtime right then and there because you were going to watch Floyd Money. If Netflix wants that here, the mid biggest fights of them all, this is when you... The iron's got a strike right here, Netflix. You better not fuck it up.
00:17:06
Speaker
You better not. Because if you do, it's going a slap in the face to everybody, and I'm going to hate it. I'm to hate the hell out of it. I better not see no streaming and loading, and I'm checking Twitter, and they tell me Canelo already knocked a man out.
00:17:17
Speaker
I'm going to scream, Omar. That happened twice already. So you do think that Canelo is going to knock him out then? That's your prediction? Oh, yeah. dead but i don't I don't think it's. I'm sorry, bud.
00:17:29
Speaker
No, you're with Clubber D. You're with
Boxing and Venue Speculations
00:17:31
Speaker
Clubber D. So Clubber thinks that Canelo will win too because of the weight advantage and everything else. I think it'll be a lot closer than y'all think. I think actually Terrence might have a chance to even win the fight.
00:17:40
Speaker
um But we'll get more from Clubber D when that time comes. It's still a few months away. So, all right, thanks for your opinion on that. But, yeah, i agree. Netflix has to knock it out the park. You're right. yeah yeah that's I can't believe it. You get away from the bottom line sports, and you finally start giving some good takes. Canteen checking in. Fellas, what's up, Canteen, our brother from the bottom line sports. Y'all make sure check What up, bro,
00:18:03
Speaker
with them whenever they start back up again because I take Jake and I had to go. There were things that have to happen, and we will give you the rise and fall of the bottom line sports here at the end of the show, but that's a tease. You got to stay to the end because we got some more things to talk about.
00:18:16
Speaker
First things, oh, another thing before we get into the m NBA playoffs or into NBA finals. what This is real quick. What did you think about WWE WrestleMania, which was supposed to be in New Orleans, and I was planning on going to because it's only three hours away,
00:18:28
Speaker
Now going back to Las Vegas for a second year next year, which I'm probably still going to go to, but now that means I got to fly across the country. How do you feel about that? You're closer, so doesn't matter. I want to ask you this. What do you think happened behind the scenes why they backed away from New Orleans?
00:18:42
Speaker
That's a great question. What's your guess on that? What would you guess? Because you don't do that as a big company. Announce where you're about to go and then change it. And then fucking Triple H, if you do it, one thing I've wronged, if you do it twice, it's better. Shut up, man. You ain't nowhere else to go You're fucking scrambling.
00:19:01
Speaker
um So the rumors that, some rumors that I have heard, and I have not corroborated these rumors from any any sources, so this does not apply to anyone I know, any wrestlers, anybody. I know people, you know, in the industry. That doesn't mean I've talked to them about this.
00:19:16
Speaker
ah But... Rumors have spread from everything from um obviously the money thing that we talked about earlier and WWE needing to put on multiple shows. We see the other day that they did Money in the Bank and Worlds Collide in the same day because they need to start selling LiveGate tickets because they're underwater when it comes to their finances is something I have heard.
00:19:43
Speaker
Now, again, have not cooperated that, so don't take that as a source, but... Sounds pretty accurate to me when you hear the other things coming out about also TKO in general being underwater.
00:19:54
Speaker
um Also, I've heard other things such as Vince McMahon trying to come back into the scene and that causing issues with certain organizations that didn't want to be associated with him.
00:20:10
Speaker
Okay. um So those are two different rumors I've heard. Again, nothing confirmed. what do you What do you think? I think it's just they're scrambling. It's like somebody telling me that they got me a gift and I come and find out that it's a shirt that they have in the c closet that they grabbed from their closet. That's exactly what I got from it. I'm just calling a spade a spade, Omar.
00:20:31
Speaker
I felt I opened the Walmart bag and it looked exactly like the shirt you wore on Tuesday the week before last. That's what they did with doing the the whole entire bringing Las Vegas into this bullshit once again. One thing I've learned, you do it twice.
00:20:47
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think it's actually that big of a deal in terms of them going to Vegas versus New Orleans. I mean, it's worse for me because I've got to travel further. but um and And because the last time I went was in New Orleans, or the first time I went was in New Orleans. out the first and and the last ah But I do believe there is some truth to the money issue and to having two nights in Vegas is going to generate a whole lot more money than two nights in New Orleans would Well, I was about to ask you that. Hold on here.
00:21:18
Speaker
You just got the event last year. You're saying that the people are in Las Vegas are going to be just as intrigued to go again? for the Well, it doesn't matter about the people in Vegas. Remember, Vegas is one of the most transient cities on Earth.
00:21:31
Speaker
So it doesn't matter about the people that are in Vegas. I don't know at all. You got to think about all the people like Wildcard Mar who went. You got to think about me who's going to go next year. You got think about people traveling from all over the world.
00:21:42
Speaker
I mean, people don't just come to WrestleMania in the United States. People come from Australia and England and India and everywhere, dog. Come on now. You know it's a global. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I was just saying, i't hey, they better match or they better exceed their attendance. You know how they beat their attendance?
00:21:58
Speaker
ah Stephanie will come out. The attendance is so high. It's the biggest ever. I better see that. better see that. I mean, that they're going to do that anyways, even if it's true or not. They always have. But I will say this. When I was in New Orleans or when I went to New Orleans, the tickets for the upper deck were not bad at all. Like, I don't remember how expensive they were because my my girlfriend at the time bought them for me for my birthday. But I think they were like...
00:22:20
Speaker
I want to say it was like 100, 150, 250 at the most. Is this a story where you were able to fucking jump from like all the way to the inside? Fucking tremendous.
00:22:32
Speaker
Look, shout out shout out shout-out to my girl at that time that we ended up breaking up. things Things happen, and i that apparently was going to happen anyways. So, hey, better earlier than never, and I'm glad it actually happened at that time because had she gone, I would not have been able to pull this off.
00:22:47
Speaker
But, yeah, she did she ended up not going, and I ended up going on my own. And I parlayed the upper seat, and I snuck down into – I said, fuck the upper seat, and snuck down into the lower level.
00:23:02
Speaker
And I what happened was when I was I always try to find a gate if I do I'm not go say i do this often. ah But whenever I'm doing something like this, I always look for a gate that the person isn't really paying attention or there is nobody and walk in with a bunch of people and usually no one will say anything.
00:23:19
Speaker
So at this point in time, there was like, I think the person was busy or there was no one there or they wouldn't weren't looking. Just walked in with people. I went down and I saw to the left, there was a whole empty section, but there were like scatterings of people sitting there and they were all the way down by the entrance ramp, the long ass WrestleMania entrance ramp, but close enough to the ring where they were just like a couple, it was like three sections from the ring.
00:23:42
Speaker
So I was like, holy shit. So I just started walking like down there acting like I knew who I was. I saw a guy and his son in the row and I just sat right there on the end of the row, a seat down from them acting like I knew them. And I fucking sat there for about, I sat there for the first, I sat there for most of the show.
00:23:58
Speaker
And then when the, ah when it was like the main event came on or something like that, No, I think it was earlier than that because I wanted to go to the bathroom and get a beer and stuff, and I wasn't going to try to get back in the same way.
00:24:10
Speaker
Was this before they did the two nights? with Was it still in the one-night time? This was still one night. This was 2018, eighteen as well um And so anyways, I went back out, and I got went to the bathroom, got a beer, came back down, and then I just went down and just found an empty seat in the first – and like that 100 section down there closer to the center where I could see the ring and I just found a spot and I sat down and no one ever came or said anything. I just sat there the rest of the show. Amazing. Best time ever.
00:24:38
Speaker
i love it. ah That was, that was tremendous. Lucky fuck, man. Lucky fuck. Dude, I was like this close to the entrance ramp. was great. It was like when i was at the Celtics game and me and my dad sat right, right next to with the players tunnel.
00:24:51
Speaker
It was tremendous. Oh, were you right there? Yeah. Oh, my God. I thought I saw you do the pictures. Like, all right, the Celtics bench is here. We were right here on these seats, number six and seven, right here in the middle, and the player's tunnel was here. When Porzingis Porgy made his injury come back like like Willis Reed, he was slapping us fives as he was going by. That's how close were. Oh, my God. Get of here, son. and You know I'm a baller. I only i don't sit nubs. I don't do nubs, okay? I'm a baller for a reason. Look at this $1,000 watch I got. There's $1,000 Tucci on the wrist.
00:25:26
Speaker
but That's what money does for you, baby. Come on. Oh, man, get out of here. That that watch looks and it looks as bad as Lil Wayne's new album. Stop it. Well, first of all, you're not going to hear any any disagreement from me. I do not like Lil Wayne's music. Never have, never will. Thinks it sucks. And so there you go. I won't be listening to it anyways. so All right. Canty says, I'll be tuned in, fellas. Hey, we'll be getting there in just a little bit, my friend. Let's move on to the NBA finals since we only got you for an hour more.
00:25:53
Speaker
Thunder. You're good. you good Made sure that oh Lightning didn't strike twice in OKC. ah They had that shocking game one loss. Halliburton again coming up. Clutch, his sixth.
00:26:08
Speaker
go-ahead or game-tying shot in the last 90 seconds of the game, the Pacers' fifth go-ahead game-winning game winning
NBA and NCAA Highlights
00:26:19
Speaker
bucket in in the playoffs overall.
00:26:22
Speaker
This is crazy. The legend of Halliburton lives on, but then the next game, He does something he normally does, at least once in the series, where he ends up not shooting the ball, even though he's the damn best player on the team, shoot the damn ball. I know Miles Turner was hot, but come on now, 13 shots ain't going to do it. Anyways, Oklahoma City blew him out, blowed him out last night, or the night before.
00:26:44
Speaker
And so now it is one-to-one ahead of game three. Oklahoma City is still the by far favorite to win this series. What have you thought so far, and what do you think going forward? I think the Pacers need to step up because ah Ali can't do it by himself. This is frustrating to watch.
00:27:01
Speaker
um This is what really annoys me. On the hell, Aliburton, bro, it's the finals. There are times where you got to say, fuck everybody.
00:27:13
Speaker
you exactly right That's exactly right. I'm sorry. I'm going all out. It's time to turn into Kobe at that time, bro. Nobody wants to grab the ball from you. it. Take it yourself. I don't give a shit, man.
00:27:26
Speaker
I don't care if you go 16 for 41. At least you're throwing at everything you got. I'm sorry. They have a puncher's chance. And and I'm going to ask you this here in a minute.
00:27:37
Speaker
Actually, GA is looking like the best player in the league now, bro. It's scaring me. It's scaring me. Not only that, I think this the dynasty in the making, and it worries me because there's only one team that can stop this dynasty, a la San Antonio Spurs. Don't worry. Shout out my boy, Wimby. Get ready.
00:27:56
Speaker
The alien himself is on his way. I mean, if y'all get Durant, then, hey. I hope we don't get him i want it i want You know why want Greek Freak. Why do I want Rudy Gay himself? I don't want that guy. I forgot. No, I don't want him, bro. I forgot about the Rudy Gay. It's been too long.
00:28:13
Speaker
I don't want him. Get out of here. Back to the series. The next two games are going to be telling because everybody that I'm talking to is telling me Thunder going win the next two easily.
00:28:28
Speaker
Easily. I mean, I thought Thunder were going win in five. Yeah. But I just got – I'm rooting for the underdog. Halliburton shows up, shows out one of those games and turns into turns into Reggie Miller, bro, and does another choke on their ass.
00:28:47
Speaker
Oh, by the way, can they stop copying the legends, bro? I had that fight on my pod. I heard that on your pod. Why are they copying the legends? bring I heard y'all talking about Kevin Garnett and Jason Tatum, so no no don't try to blame Jason Tatum. You're damn why you right. You already know what I was going with that one.
00:29:04
Speaker
Jason Tatum didn't even know how to make his own moment at all. Who's copying Kobe? Who's copying KG? Who's copying Kanye West? Who's copying all these idiots? Don't do that. Make your own moment.
00:29:15
Speaker
I love it. It's more authentic when you make your own. Hell, do it like you're hanging this way or something, man. Don't do a fucking... Don't follow Reggie's. You're wrong.
00:29:26
Speaker
you did yeah If somehow the Pacers win, I'm going to ask you two questions real quick. If the Pacers win, does Halliburton become the greatest Pacer of all time? No.
00:29:36
Speaker
What? Why not? Why not? Reggie Miller has got to be the greatest. I mean, I can't think of anyone else. I'm trying to think before Reggie Miller. Omar. Omar.
00:29:47
Speaker
I know he didn't win a title. I don't care. i don't care. I don't care. No. One ring for Halliburton wouldn't put him above a ringless Reggie Miller. No. He would have to win at least two. At least two.
00:29:58
Speaker
it's like ga mar It's like Dan Marino. I'm not putting many quarterbacks above Dan Marino even though he never won a championship. I'm not i i'm putting Dan Marino in my top five, top ten. of all time, even though he never won a championship.
00:30:09
Speaker
Now, I'm not doing the same for Reggie, but I am putting Reggie bush above Halliburton. Come on now. Even if it's only one title, he hasn't been around that long. Reggie had a lengthy, lengthy run of greatness and against better players, may I add.
00:30:24
Speaker
Yeah, you're reaching. Don't do that. No, there you go. There you go. yeah what He had one team to worry about, the the cheating bulls. That's about it. He had nothing else to worry about other than that. The Celtics, the Knicks, the the the the Pistons, the bad boy Pistons. Get out of here. as if i forgot I forgot you're too young for this. I forgot you're too young. No, i watched all that. Don't do that.
00:30:47
Speaker
SGA Pistons. I mean, SGA Pistons. If SGA wins, is he not the greatest Thunder of all time? I mean, that's – That's no. Again, no. That's where Seattle. I'm counting Seattle's team, the players, too.
00:31:00
Speaker
Yeah, then no, because, I mean, you got to have Sean Kemp as your greatest superstar. what are you doing? Yo, this is what I can't stand with you. And I'm part of getting into the old head type because I'm already in my 30s.
00:31:10
Speaker
So now, guys, younger kids are calling me an old head. But let me tell you something, Trash, man.
00:31:18
Speaker
Your that your rosters were straight shit at a time. Sean Kemp is one of the best power forwards of all time. Omar, three of your five players on the court couldn't shoot the damn ball, bro. they All they could do was put back to baskets or try and drive.
00:31:35
Speaker
They were rim runners, bro. Nobody could shoot the damn ball, man. Call a spade a spade, Omar. Don't do that. If you don't if you don't stop blaspheming, The amazing, legendary goat name of Larry Joe Bird. I will come through this camera and slap the shit out of you, all right? How about that? Larry Bird. Is he a top 25 player?
00:32:01
Speaker
larry bird Larry Bird is a top five player of all time. Top five. See you tomorrow, bro. What? Top three for me, personally.
00:32:13
Speaker
Personally, for me, it's it's Jordan, Magic, and Bird and no one else. That's my top three. Bird is in there, bro. Bird is in there. Oh, you're wild. You're wild, Omar. I got to hear your top five all time eventually. your ten Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are also in there.
00:32:30
Speaker
You've named at least five players from the 60s, practically, in the 70s. I'm just calling a spade a spade. ah yeah yeah is um ah What was that idiot, that point guard for the Celtics back in the day? whoa Actually, you know what you know what? No, now that LeBron has passed Kareem in scoring, I will put LeBron in my top five now. I would hope so. But he's not above Bill Russell, the greatest champion ever.
00:32:52
Speaker
He's not above Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of every time. He's not a good not above Magic Johnson, the greatest leader and performer. Was Bill Russell not playing against plumbers and mailmans? Don't do that.
00:33:05
Speaker
Don't do that. They were playing part-time? Was in the league at the time, and there were other great players at the time, so don't try that. Yes. what was it was was it a little Was it a little less competitive because there were less teams and less talent? Yeah, but you also have to take that proportionally because that means those players also had less talent. If you would put Bill Russell in 2025, he'd be b be Victor Wimbam-Yama times eight.
00:33:31
Speaker
Shut the hell up. You're crazy. Get the hell out of here with this. That dumb shit right there. Let's get a comment from Alan. Alan says, Jake, what are you smoking and where can I get some? Hey, Alan, our boy AP, Let's Talk Swords. Shout out. He is smoking that loud pack. I ain't smoking nothing. He obviously got him tripping.
00:33:49
Speaker
He don't know how to handle. Let me guess. For the sativa. Omar's got John Havlicek in the damn top 10 all time. I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, look, John Havlicek is an amazing player. He is top 50 of all time.
00:34:05
Speaker
Top 50, yes. He's top 50 Kyrie. I mean, no. No, because, again, you have to look at that proportionally. Okay, even if you did look at that proportionally, I would still take Kyrie. But you have to look at those things proportionally. He's not better than Tony Parker, if we're being real.
00:34:24
Speaker
No, he's not better than Prime TP. Don't do that. If we're going to Spade to Spade, there's certain guys. I wouldn't put him over Jared Jack. Remember Jared Jack? Golden State. I'm not picking John Havlice over Monte Evans. You're freaking crazy, bro. What are doing today?
00:34:43
Speaker
John Hondo. Is that the Havlice? Are you talking about Hondo? ah you talking Is that who you're talking about? I'm talking about the guy that was shooting five-foot jumpers and they thought he was raining threes.
00:34:54
Speaker
Yeah, that guy. yeah He's shooting his lights out. Well, he's about five five feet from the basket. Get out of here. And there was no one defending him?
00:35:04
Speaker
There were no defenders on him? Like I said, bro. Yeah, it was Tom that just finished ah fixing my grandma's ah toilet seat, bro. Yeah, yeah there was. There was Tom over there, bro. yeah Come on, man. Get out of here. Nah, man. That's fucked up. John Havicek won eight and NBA championships.
00:35:23
Speaker
Way more than your bum-ass Tony Parker, who wouldn't have won any if it wasn't for Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan. So get the hell out of here. You're such a hater. Thank you, AP. Thank you, AP. This is what you're having when you give a Texas fan too much. Thank you, AP. No.
00:35:38
Speaker
Hey, shout out my Longhorn softball team. You saw her. Oh, see, i'm glad I like the segue. Let's go ahead and move on to that. The text long forward be Texas Texas Tech. Oh, wait a second. Michael Enoch wants to know what is your top five?
00:35:53
Speaker
my mba it's good NBA players. Oh, NBA? Jake, what are yours? I already went. okay LeBron. I'm to go LeBron. Of course. LeBron, Tim Duncan.
00:36:06
Speaker
I'll put Michael Jordan after. my bad. Say that again. Hold on. Hold Go ahead. LeBron, Tim Duncan, Michael Jordan. west Tim Duncan. Yes, he deserves it.
00:36:18
Speaker
He should be 6-0. All right. All right. Man, the last two are tough, but I'm going to go ahead and put Magic. And last but not least, I know he doesn't get his ah repertoire.
00:36:31
Speaker
I'm going to throw ah Kobe in there. Kobe. i So we agree on two of the five with LeBron and Michael, which I think would be two of every. Why is Tim Duncan not in there? Tim Duncan would actually be probably in my top ten.
00:36:46
Speaker
I love Tim Duncan. I was so upset when we got screwed, ah when the and NBA screwed us in the draft and we didn't get Tim Duncan and y'all ended up getting him. I was so upset. um I wanted Tim Duncan so damn bad. Anything other than KG? Let me see how truthful you were.
00:37:03
Speaker
Man, that is a tough question. There's not a even a question at all. Just answer the damn question as fast as That tough, man. That is so Tim Duncan over KG. Yes, he's way better. Don't do that. Tim Duncan is the big fundamental. I cannot take it away from He is the prototypical power forward of what you would want scoring players.
00:37:23
Speaker
rebounding, you know, whatever. But KG's defense and intensity and legendary leadership is, and he can score and rebound and defend and assist and do all that too. I'm not going to take him over Tim Duncan, but I'm going to say it's a lot closer than you're making it out to be. If I were to put Tim Duncan in the top 10, top 15, I got KG in the top 20.
00:37:42
Speaker
So it's not like they're that far apart. But yes, I would put Tim Duncan ahead of KG probably. Could I not say that it go to that Dirk was better than ky No, don't you even dare.
00:37:54
Speaker
Don't you even dare. Stop with blasphemy. Hold on, hold on. KG, I will not let this happen to you. Before we go on, hold on. Let me just explain. My brother KG, I will not let this happen. I promise. I let him go by. I'm sorry. Dirk had the toughest road to a championship ever don't give a damn.
00:38:11
Speaker
I don't give a damn. He wasn't half the player KG was. Look at the KG. Look at how look how physical KG had to play versus the finesse game of Dirk Nowitzki. He wasn't a great scorer.
00:38:25
Speaker
What does that mean? Dirk Nowitzki didn't have a good team around him? I'm saying whenever Dirk won his chip, it was much short it was more of him than the team that year.
00:38:36
Speaker
That's why I believe that Dirk is overall better. Didn't have J.J. Barea. no, no. I'm talking about that championship roster. He had Jason Kidd, not Steve Nash that year. Don't do that. He had Jason Kidd.
00:38:47
Speaker
i'll stick with I'll stick with my Michael Jordan, Larry Bird. I'll stick with my... so Thank you, Michael. Thank you, Michael. Bird over Duncan all day. I would always say that, no doubt about indeed so for ja donncan that it. be honest. so Be honest.
00:39:04
Speaker
Be honest. You can't say it. You know what makes Bird so good? It's because he was the loser mostly in the 80s to Magic most of the time. So it just frustrates me. They won three championships. What are you talking about? Yes, but Magic won his five.
00:39:19
Speaker
Don't do that. Magic won his five. That doesn't make them losers. You act like they lost everything. I'm saying lost more than you won against the... Okay, we beat them every other time too. So whatever. That's like me going into the – was second place all year. They got more championships. That's fine. They got more championships. I would give Magic – That's why I think Bird is remembered. Why do you think I listed it out? And Larry Bird is my favorite player ever.
00:39:41
Speaker
Why do you think I listed out Michael, Magic, and Larry? I have him third, okay? He might be my favorite player ever. I don't have him over Magic. You need to make your set more more updated because you have a bunch of A's players. Oh, it's it's it's never going to change. LeBron is going to be the last entry into that five.
00:39:56
Speaker
im yeah five I can't see anyone on the horizon ever getting into that top five. Okay, okay, hater. And don't try with Victor. men don't die with victor He's too young. Yeah, don't do that. He's too young.
00:40:08
Speaker
We have a Maravich over. Okay, now now we go. Yeah, you see this, Cron? We're going a little too far now. Pistol Pete. Pistol Pete. Pistol Pete Maravich, that's right. You don't stop doing that bull crap. Man, that guy's grump right now. What in the blue hell?
00:40:23
Speaker
Pistol Pete over Timmy Pistol Pete Maravich, baby. Yeah, this guy's got to be 68. No doubt in my mind. I'm going to check your Facebook later, Michael. You're 68. I know you are, buddy.
00:40:35
Speaker
Pistol Pete. He actually went high school with me, but no. Shout out to Michael. Shout out, brother. Shout out. All right. You want to transition? That's fine. We can go to my South Ballmont. Yeah, so Texas. Texas beat the number one ah Texas Tech with Nigeri Kennedy, the candidate the best pitcher in the country, the one that they paid $1 million dollars in NIL money to come and help them win the championship. I'm not going to say she's not worth every penny because she is.
00:41:02
Speaker
Just getting into the championship brings you way more than a million dollars. ah And she was a shutdown pitcher the whole year. Now, did get did that last game go horribly? Yeah.
00:41:13
Speaker
Yes. That thing got off the rails very quickly. it was 0-0 when I was on the program. Next thing I know, I got off, and it was 10-1. And I was like, what the hell just happened? I just missed the whole game. I was ready for a good game.
00:41:27
Speaker
had some dinner. i was I sat down for a good game. It was like 15 minutes before. I just said it was 0-0. I look, I go, what the fuck, damn it. All right. Baseball, something else.
00:41:38
Speaker
Anyways, how do you feel about your Texas long-term? Mia Scott, bro. Did you see that third baseman? Mia Scott, bro. Uh-uh. She looks good? guy ah you Oh, my gosh. I can't. I can't. I can't. No, you can't do that.
00:41:50
Speaker
ah okay I can't. I can't. I'm married, but i she is the greatest. She is one of the best softball players right now. Playing on one ACL, mind you. Oh, yeah, that's the one that got that the – no, she didn't get the winning hit in game one, did she?
00:42:05
Speaker
No, no, no. No, she didn't get the winning hit, but she had that home run to get the four that fast. yeah she was She hit the grand slam, so it was a change of it. um Proud of Texas.
00:42:16
Speaker
I think, honestly, these guys can repeat. I have a quick question for you, and I know you know more shit on this than I do. Is there a professional softball league? Do they have hope after? Okay, was making sure. I did not know that. I was talking to my wife about that, and I said, man, these girls play really good, you know?
00:42:30
Speaker
They're just making me want to watch more and more of them. They're some fighters. It's not their... it's not It's not going to be like a main source of income, you know, to start off with right now.
00:42:43
Speaker
Those sorts of leagues are just growing ah to get more of a, to make more of money for league. saying they're making more right now in college than they would in the... most yeah Most likely, yes. I don't actually know that i don't know the the actual salaries of the professional softball league, but I would assume you so, yes, especially people like Najee Kennedy who are making a million dollars. Of course they are. But the thing they would want to do is go to the Olympics and represent the United States and then get all the sponsorships. That would be the best way to go about doing that.
00:43:14
Speaker
I got you. I didn't know. I was wondering on that. i Yeah, I mean, that like I said, these but what I've noticed in the recent, actually, two, three years, women's ah ah sports is a lot more physical, if you ask me.
00:43:26
Speaker
They let a lot of physicality come in. I mean, I know we've been watching Caitlin and Angel since they've jumped in to the WNBA. It's made it more eyes on that. And, boy, do I love the physicality. It's what the NBA used to be, honestly, in my opinion, in so many ways.
00:43:39
Speaker
So, hey, shout out, girls, for the the way they're physical. ah Boy, they they'd be fighting out there. Yeah, and they're putting they're putting more money into all of the women's sports and more promoting and things like that, which is helping to grow all these sports. you and And the women's sports are great. I love watching women's sports. They really are some good athletes. ah Now, obviously, is it the same level as the men? No, I'm not going to say that the basketball is the same WNBA and NBA. It's not, clearly. But is it still enjoyable to watch? Yeah.
00:44:04
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, cha sometimes not only that one becomes is it not sure, but, I mean, whatever. Who cares? Exactly. What are we doing right now? What are we going for the next two months? Right. And you can always change the channel if you don't like the game. So who cares?
00:44:16
Speaker
Anyways. All right. Moving on from that. ah NHL finals update. Edmonton Oilers. Florida Panthers. Wow. Florida with an absolute shellacking last night, six to one over the Edmonton Oilers. They now go up two games to one in the nh NHL Finals, ah but do not count Edmonton out. They have been one of the best teams all year. They're led by the best hockey player in the world, Connor McDavid. And one of the other best, Leon Dreisaitl, is Robin to his Batman. So you cannot count them out. But Florida Panthers are the defending champions and did just put a butt whooping on them in game three.
00:44:57
Speaker
How do you feel about this series, Hot Take Jake? ah Well, here's the thing. I didn't get to watch game two. I watched game three. Game one and game two both went to overtime and game winners. It was amazing. really? Yeah, yeah.
00:45:09
Speaker
Yeah, it was good until the third game. yeah yeah I was able to watch yesterday's when i was ah I was at the gym, and I saw it while I was on my little treadmill trying to catch a Fat Take Jake to get into Hot Take Jake again.
00:45:20
Speaker
ah But, ah ah yeah, bro, I did not know. It was a blowout pretty fast. They destroyed. I will say the same thing you said. Don't count them out.
00:45:31
Speaker
The game to me is next game because I do think if Edmonton wins next game, they win it all. This is the game to tell me they can't catch up. Game four will tell me everything, whether they're going to catch up or it's too far out. They won't catch up at all.
00:45:46
Speaker
3-1. Down 3-1, I don't think they can catch up. 2-2, Edmonton cools it out. I will take Edmonton all day in the best of three with their best player in the world. I agree with that completely. I had Edmonton winning the series, so that's how I'm looking at this as well. That's how it has to go down.
00:46:00
Speaker
All right, there you go. The French Open this weekend. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I heard somebody wasn't even made the list. If you didn't, if who?
00:46:12
Speaker
Was Rory that he didn't make it? Oh, no, no, no. i'm talking about tennis, not golf. Yes. i found My fault. My fault. No, you're talking about golf. Scotty Scheffler has been the hottest golfer in the world for the past few weeks. He's won the past like three or four tournaments.
00:46:24
Speaker
ah Rory McIlroy finished eight over this past weekend at Oakmont. Did not have a good performance. I'm talking the French Open tennis.
French Open Recap
00:46:31
Speaker
Rafael Nadal used to be the master here. He retired, and now his protege, Carlos Alcaraz, is the best player in the world, along with Yannick Skinner.
00:46:41
Speaker
They have formed a rivalry over the past few years now. We will have to remind everybody that Yannick Skinner is the one that tested last year positive for PEDs twice. Now, he was cleared because they he actually gave the excuse of it being in something that he didn't know, and they actually investigated and found out it was the case.
00:47:02
Speaker
They didn't break. Yeah, and they gave him a break, only gave two-month suspension and and didn't like take a lot of money. A lot of players were pissed about this. Either way, ah these are your two best players for the foreseeable future, so you better look at these two guys for men's tennis.
00:47:17
Speaker
Alcaraz, what an amazing game this was. First of all, Yannick Sinner went up two games to nothing, and then um Alcaraz was down. 40-0 in game three of the third game, which means if he loses that, he's going down 3-1 in a game four, and we know tennis has six sets, so four out of six, which means Yannick Sinner pretty much would have been guaranteed the rest of the game. Back against the damn wall. Back against the fucking wall.
00:47:48
Speaker
40-0, he comes back, wins that set, 6-4, wins the next set, 7-6 in overtime, and wins the final set, 7-6 in a 5-hour and 29-minute final, the longest ever at Roland Garros in Paris.
00:48:08
Speaker
I will tell you, I watched the last half of this. I woke up. I didn't wake up for the first half because started early. But I caught it about halfway through and watched the end of this. And this was amazing. I'm talking about these gentlemen were making shots that didn't believe. They on a They put on a show. Like making shots from corners, from under. like It was crazy.
00:48:27
Speaker
did you Did you catch any of this? would you I didn't catch it. That's why I was shy. I was thinking of golf. Man, I'm pissed off that I missed this whole damn thing. So that good. Oh, definitely got to watch the highlights. If nothing else, go to YouTube and watch the highlights because telling you, these guys were getting shots that looked unbelievable. I forgot. Tennis just started. It's this time of the year now. Yeah, we're about to start seeing that shit.
00:48:46
Speaker
Yeah. I love a good tennis matchup that's back and forth, and it's like good like that, a good marathon. Like when they had – Novak Jokovic and Rafael Nadal, that was like five hours and 53 minutes back in the Australian Open in 2012. I watched most of that. Like, I can get hooked on these back-and-forth tennis matches. There's good theater, good drama.
00:49:08
Speaker
ah Carlos Alcaraz, by the way, has equaled, here's your professor's stat, equaled Rafael Nadal with five Grand Slam titles by the age of 22, four more than Roger Federer and Novak Jokovic at that point. Damn.
00:49:21
Speaker
Damn. Okay. He's stepping up. I got you. I get And on the American side, Coco Gauff snapped a decade-long drought for Americans at the French Open, defeating number one in the world, Arnia Sabalenka, on Saturday. The last American to win at Roland Garros was in 2015, the Williams.

Wimbledon is up next beginning June 30th. and what will watch that. missing that. What do you think about Coco Gauff's? They need a star. I'm telling you, Omar, especially with these singles, these single ah tournaments and all that, you need a star in my opinion.

Speaker
If Coco can become that star, bro, I can't wait to watch it. That's what i'm saying. I need a star. I need a star to be invested in. That's what we need in tennis. Same thing the way we do with boxing, same thing we do with a UFC.
00:50:29
Speaker
I need my stars out there. Hey, if she's the next star, let's get it. I'm rooting for Coco now. shit and i I completely agree. she's the Her and Madison Keys are the only two with a legitimate chance at the moment. Obviously, there's others in the pipeline that we may not know that much about. right now But right now, those are your two top American women. When's Wimbledon start again?

ah But first, let's give you your Major League Baseball Power Rankings of the Week. Oh, let me catch up on some comments here. Michael, my bad brother. Sometimes when I get to my notes, I'll be missing the comments.
00:51:40
Speaker
Arizona will win the College World Series. Hey, They've got a chance, but you know they've got to go up against my UCLA Bruins who are there as well. Neither of them are the favorites, obviously, but love watching the College World Series, Women's College World Series.
00:51:55
Speaker
Love watching Reese build houses. That's funny. ah Referring to Angel Reese, look, I can't hate on Angel Reese. She is a Maryland Terrapin. former Terp. So she is my brethren.
00:52:06
Speaker
And I actually, actually like her game. Yeah. She's not the best shooter in the world. She's more of a Dennis Rodman call Malone type, but I like her game. And I think she's a fearsome in the post, but yeah, she's not the greatest shooter in the world, but that's something that's a skill that can be worked on. Right.
00:52:20
Speaker
Also says, Oshie, making me retire feels old. Hey, happy retirement. Shout out to TJ Oshie, one of the legends with the Washington Capitals back in my hometown of the DMV.
00:52:33
Speaker
Shout out to him, Alex Ovechkin, going into his final season after breaking Wayne Gretzky's record last year. You know we had the stretch run. We followed everything. So salute to Ovi for his last year and happy retirement to TJ Oshie.
00:52:50
Speaker
All right, bringing up those baseball power rankings for the week, MLB.com. Thank you for these. The Detroit Tigers. You heard it. The who, who, who.
00:53:01
Speaker
The Detroit Tigers are the best team in the league. And they're leading the league in ratings.
00:53:12
Speaker
Can you believe that the Detroit Tigers are leading the league in ratings? A whole bunch of teams um are at the top and really good this year. We've talked about them all, but the Tigers are by far been the best bunch of the year. The Cubs at number two.
00:53:29
Speaker
They got PCA. I lamented last week how PCA was traded by my Mets. Now is going to be at a future MVP. He's playing for the Chicago Cubs.
00:53:40
Speaker
They are playing amazing. They're at number two. At number three, the aforementioned, my New York Metropolitans, baby, you see it.
00:53:51
Speaker
And now you see Juan Soto starting to get hot after everybody was on his ass. Not anymore. He is hot as a... As a knife through butter, baby.
00:54:04
Speaker
Him, Pete Alonzo, is on fire like no one's ever seen. Francisco Lindor from Caguas, Puerto Rico, my hometown. ah Love you, Francisco. ah He as well is heating up.
00:54:19
Speaker
The Mets are not one to be fucked with. And we are going to beat the Dodgers this year in the playoffs. At number four. He came back in perfect time because we go to this bums Yankees at number four.
00:54:33
Speaker
i I cannot hate, even though I hate against the Yankees, I cannot hate against Aaron Judge. What the hell is Aaron Judge doing right now? Screaming. I want hear it. Aaron Judge, my friends.
00:54:44
Speaker
is on a tear of something like we have not seen in quite some time. Aaron Judge is hitting 395. three ninety five I repeat, 395, almost 400, which is unheard of in this day and age. It's not Tony Gwynn. It's not Pete Rose.
00:55:02
Speaker
It's not all the great old-timers that used to hit the Ichiro Suzuki. No. We are talking the big behemoth power hitter, the best home run hitter in the world. That might be debatable with Shohei now, but one of the best in the world is hitting 395 two months into the season.
00:55:21
Speaker
Jake, and now that I've hyped your Yankees and your bum ass Yankees up enough, how do you feel? Remember last year when y'all made fun of his ass for the World Series blunder he had? I do.
00:55:31
Speaker
He doesn't forget, bro. Rightfully so. The Yankees are in a fucking tear this year, and they're taking everybody in their way. Aaron Judge ain't playing. Not only that, we remember about that whole torpedo bat scandal. I love what we're doing right now. You know why?
00:55:48
Speaker
When the going gets tough, the tough get fucking going, Omar. Yeah. And this year, these guys ain't going to get cold when it comes playoff time. No, no, no, no, no sir. so You better hope They become elite. No, no. No, I promise you they're not. That's why they're they're already looking great right now.
00:56:04
Speaker
Did you see that matchup against the Dodgers? we't ah might We showed them a piece. My thing with y'all is you have a lot of young players that haven't proven themselves yet. That's my thing. And you have no... Who in the A.O. is going to scare me?
00:56:16
Speaker
Who in the is going to scare me? The Tigers. I think aforementioned Tigers, the best team in the league right now. Here's a boy as thou shalt not judge a motherfucking judge. Well, let's talk about the Dodgers. They're at number five. Screw them. We're going to beat them anyways in the playoffs. But Shohei Otani, still one of the best players in the world, leading the lead in home runs with 20 tricks. That boy is freaking uniform, bro.
00:56:38
Speaker
Scared me. uniform. Scared the shit out of me. Hey, everybody, make sure youre subscribe to Ball & Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S on YouTube. Please make sure you subscribe. There's a handy QR code up top. You can scan that. It'll take you to our link,

Don't they lead usually in shots taken? They got the shots taken leaderboard of all the people that take jello shots.
00:57:36
Speaker
Usually LSU is the winner when it comes to that. I love it. I wish I could go party with them and do that. Wepa, I didn't know you were a Puerto Rican. That makes me so happy, brother. We are officially brothers now. Puerto Rican faux-life Boricuas.
00:57:50
Speaker
ah He says baseball is the only thing New York can enjoy. Yeah, football sucks. ah Basketball, the Knicks. Just shit the bed. ah How do you feel about that, Jake? how do you feel about the Knicks shitting the bed after the Celtics let them get away with some bullshit?
00:58:05
Speaker
ah If I'm them, I would go. and Now, I want, of course, my Spurs to get them, but they got to go after the Greek freak. Here's the other thing. I think it's time to let Cat go, bro. He's too finesse of a player.
00:58:16
Speaker
He's too finesse. You start you just start bullying him. Boy is very nasty on and off the court. yeah you know yeah I just think he can get pushed around, and I'm sorry. ah I don't think he's got the championship aspiration in him.
00:58:32
Speaker
He's just a side piece player, in my opinion. Am I right or wrong? Come on, Omar. I mean, no. bro No, the fool is zesty as hell. I get it. Yes, he's very zesty. He's got weird weird mechanisms and motions and facial expressions and stuff. Look, I like the guy because he's a good player. He doesn't cause any problems. Also, I know how much he went through during COVID, losing like five members of his family. I did it. Yeah, that was sad. I did it i feel I feel for the guy, so I try to root for him whenever I can. But is he zesty?
00:59:03
Speaker
Probably. i mean, I can't confirm or deny, but he seems like ah the personality is a little zesty. Let's disagree. Moving on. We don't need to talk no more about that. we don't need I don't care either, by the way.
00:59:15
Speaker
Don't come attacking us in the comments. You as a person can be whoever you want to be. Love whoever you want. Be whoever you want. I don't give a damn. Cool. Don't marry me.
00:59:26
Speaker
I would support you in any of your choices. AP also says, anyone else notice the Yankees are turning into the Cowboys all pomp and no circumstance in the season for 15 years?
Angel Reese & Diddy Trial Discussion
00:59:37
Speaker
That's the kind of stuff I like to hear, AP.
00:59:41
Speaker
Well, at least he's talking. When's the last time the Cowboys made a championship? At least he's talking about his own team. He's talking about the Dallas Cowboys, his own team. You can't be mad at him for that. He Cowboys fan. I give you that.
00:59:52
Speaker
Now, he is also talking about your bum-ass Yankees. But let's go. On IG, my brother, Bajuan Malaveka, chiming in. We're going to have banter, brawls, and bravado soon. Him, Weeby, Clubber D, and myself. He says, I like the chick that's been putting up the bricks lately.
01:00:08
Speaker
Going back to the Angel Reese conversation that we had a little bit ago while you stepped out, Jake, we had some Angel Reese haters, and I had to tell them, had to let I had to set them straight that she is the next Dennis Rodman and or Carl Malone.
01:00:24
Speaker
um Anyways, need her to step up because I want to see that rivalry live on. The Katelyn Clark and her. Yes, we do. Or going to get very, very one-sided.
01:00:34
Speaker
Canteen says Falcon Masons, baby. He said no more of the Cowboys. That's what's happening now, Canteen? Is that what you're doing now? Damn, man. Come on, bro. Michael Penix, bro.
01:00:46
Speaker
Michael Penix? The old Michael Penix? Oh, taking it back to the bottom line sports stage. Oh, we're about to We're about you We just got one more controversial story to go to first before we get there because I have to get your thoughts.
01:01:01
Speaker
Jake, on the Sean Diddy Combs trial so far, it has been explosive. We have heard terror testimony excuse me from all kinds of women that say they were abused sexually, mentally, and otherwise. Former assistants, former sexual prostitutes that were brought in, male escorts that were forced, including the man named The Punisher, which is such an apropos male escort name. Or was getting punished? mariah Oh, I don't even want to know.
01:01:30
Speaker
Zesty as well. Pause. But what I will say is that um there's just been a lot to this. And now he was said to have held a girl over the balcony. Then he got a warning last week from the judge about trying to influence the jury by looking at him. Now there's Donald Trump rumors coming in about did he using his hotels and things like that. What do you think about this whole situation? This is crazy.
01:01:57
Speaker
Diddy's about to pull an OJ, man. I think he gets away with this shit. He's just got away couple of guys. I don't know how, bro. What it can't tell for me is this boy is very...
01:02:12
Speaker
He's very in tune. He's very in tune with a lot of things, bro. He knew what was going on. I think what's saving him also is Cassie. I get it. I get it. And I am so for Cassie. I would not want any human being to go through what she went through.
01:02:26
Speaker
But boy, the text messages that show that she was for it help him out a whole bunch. And I think that will help him. I think Cassie's friends, ah man, dude, we found out Nipsey Hussle's own damn ex-wife, well, you know, his wife, what's her name? I forgot her name. Lauren London was in on some of the the building ah getting getting some freak-offs going on herself, man. I mean, my goodness, bro, this is wild as can be.
01:02:54
Speaker
um I think he gets away with it. I don't believe in him. I'll say this. What's going really piss me off is if as he gets away with it and then somehow everybody's praising this guy three years from now or something.
01:03:05
Speaker
I hope he gets off the face of the earth and we never see from him again. All right, again. Boy, he's just so not in tune with with what he does. He thinks he's bigger than what he does usually.
01:03:19
Speaker
i mean, just think of it. The casting video comes out. What happens right after the casting video comes out? He throws in a public apology. Hey, idiot, would you have thrown the public apology if if ah it never comes out? No, in fact, you're defending yourself. Nothing ever happened.
01:03:32
Speaker
but and that Yeah, yeah yeah it was it it wasn't even the public video. It was his apology, which was about him and had nothing to do with apologizing to her. To her. It was all about, oh, was going through some bad stuff during that time.
01:03:46
Speaker
Shut the fuck up. um i go I completely agree with you. Again, damn, we get off the bottom line of sports and we agree on everything all of a sudden. um I completely agree. At first, I thought there was no way he was going to get away with this with all the evidence and everything else going on. But I was also said at the beginning of this trial, because I've been talking about it every week on this show, i keep so I kept saying he pled not guilty and he didn't take a plea deal.
01:04:08
Speaker
You only do that for two reasons. A, for sure you're fucking crazy. Or B, you're sure you're going to get off with it. Not you now you're sure you're innocent because I don't think he's innocent.
01:04:18
Speaker
I don't think he's innocent at all. Now, the only thing is he thinks he can get away with it. And now that we've gotten further in, where can you actually get him on the Rico charge? Like there's only a couple places here and there where you can say coercion or things happen. sucks, it's a lot of hearsay.
01:04:34
Speaker
You know what I mean? A lot of defendants are saying, oh well, we heard in the other room. we It was never really like – physically see... The closest thing that got closest to seeing her, you know, all that was ah the sex worker, the dude that was ah that was having a hit, her bang her ass, or they would fight and shit. Well, and Ventura... And and i um who was it? Morgan Ventura's, like, best friend who was hanging out with her all the time. Yeah, forgot that one, too. Yes, you're right about her, too. Yes.
01:05:02
Speaker
So those two, and you can take, but you're right. Everybody else, you gotta take it it with a grain of salt, right? Dude, it sucks, bro. It sucks. I mean, and and I think he's gonna be able to walk scot-free, but... Like Joey Badass said, man, on ah i know I don't know if you were watching any ahead listen to any of his raps recently.
01:05:18
Speaker
He says, Suge and Diddy in ah in jail, man. Kind of crazy. Both of them in jail right now. Well, it's it's funny that you say Suge Knight's ah name because ah so he said last week it's going to be okay because Trump is probably going to pardon him Oh, my gosh.
Listener Engagement and Podcast Reflection
01:05:37
Speaker
yeah That's what Suge Knight said from jail. Still throwing shots from jail, ah the great Suge Knight. All right, cool. gosh Well, let's move it into this final segment. Please make sure you are subscribed to Ball & Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S.

Canteen says, good one, fellas. Appreciate you, my friend. Says, back to the birds. Are you? Okay, you got to stick there now. ah My uncle, shout out, Benicio, Theo. Te amo.
01:06:17
Speaker
Canteen says, highway robbery. Yes, yeah, yeah. And also says, Diddy is very crafty. he he didn't get these He didn't get to where he was because he's not a smart and conniving individual. That's for sure. Omar, I'll tell you this, bro. If I end up finding out that you got a bunch of ah much lotions in your ah in your house, bro, I'm going to have baby oil. going to be worried on you, buddy. I saw some baby oil behind you the other day. there's ah there's there's There may be a bunch of lotion. I don't know about baby oil.
01:06:49
Speaker
Deport. Deport. Look, look. This is what y'all came for, man, right? The bottom line sports has gone to the wayside in terms of Jake and I being on Canteen and Flo. We'll still continue that legacy when Flo returns ah ah from his trip.
01:07:08
Speaker
And Canteen, we still love you. Appreciate you tuning in. There is a reason I didn't bring Canteen on Canteen. with Jake and I today. That is because of the closeness between Canteen and Flow. And because of the nature of today's program, I did not feel that I wanted to involve Canteen in this.
01:07:24
Speaker
um he's He's had his thoughts before and I don't want to involve him in any more that may get him into a position that he doesn't want to to necessarily be in. That being said, i mean, we're talking about one conniving person. We got to talk about another conniving person.
01:07:38
Speaker
And, you know, there's times in life where you just got to be more respectful to people that you do business with. And even if fantasy football is a game, it is still a business when it comes to money being put on the line and money being involved and people needing to be paid out and so on and so forth.
01:07:58
Speaker
Let's freeze it real quick. Let's freeze it real quick. Please help me out here. to rise first. Let's do the rise. It's the rise and the fall. You're right. You're right. When did you feel that we rose to a top?
01:08:12
Speaker
When did you feel, in your opinion, that, yo, we top dogs right now? Yeah. I mean, we had a really, really strong summer right when you and I joined. was at the NBA Finals time, and we we blew up, and we were having like 40, 50 live views per show. was really going well.
01:08:28
Speaker
And then we went into the NFL season, which really helped out because we were there every week and we were able to, um you know, really talk football between the four of us. This was even before the Sunday surge.
01:08:39
Speaker
ah So I feel like we hit a peak right at probably that first, like that first six month kind of period was kind of then we when we were on high.
01:08:50
Speaker
I'll never forget that Undertaker one. Remember when I had hat? I think greatest, one of the greatest shows of all time. After that show, I had several people call me up and say, bro, I haven't had heard i heard a funnier podcast than the one y'all got going on right now.
01:09:05
Speaker
That's awesome. That's when I said, yo bro, I think we're there. I think we made it as a team. i was you know Everybody was in a piece of what they did in that spot. I thought... Flow was on point, no disrespect at the time.
01:09:18
Speaker
Pantene was doing his thing. um Omar, you know, the professor himself throwing his stick. He knew everything about everything. So yeah we were going back and forth to trash talk. Everything was flowing so well.
01:09:32
Speaker
I think at that time, I also was, i always loved to study who we were part of with. And not to cut anybody off in the other shows. What is the other shows called? I mean, the the program. That's Alan's part of. What's it called? Let's Talk Sports.
01:09:45
Speaker
Okay. I used to always check everybody's videos. And then I'd check our viewers. And at one point in time, Omar, we were big dogs, buddy. We were, everybody was watching us. We were going crazy.
01:09:58
Speaker
It was a bomb line coming up. We number one in this joint. I'm calling Spade Spade. We were there. And then, I'll never forget it. We get a, not a sponsor, it was a sponsorship truck. I'm not going to go discreet into it. I know somebody was asking Flo if they could promote the show on their, on their real ah there that they they drive a vehicle that promotes stuff through a year.
01:10:24
Speaker
And not only that, he had a car business to where he could also promote, if we could promote it on the show.
Podcast Challenges and Team Dynamics
01:10:31
Speaker
And it just stopped right there, bro. And Flo said something at that time that opened my eyes a little bit.
01:10:36
Speaker
and And this is no hate, that's just all honesty. He just said, well, it's my show. I'll figure out going to do. And right there, Mimi paused and said, I get it's your show, but I'm not going to hate on it.
01:10:49
Speaker
And I'm proud of the way it evolved. i would show up older shows back in the day. But at one point in time, bro, it was not doing so well. Before we got on, is what I'll say.
01:11:01
Speaker
It was not doing so well. and i believe the man the mixture that the way the like i said it's not just a mean your show we showed up in the right everybody had a put their poor but what flow said that that was the first cause to pause moment i stopped and froze and i just said um he's still seeing it as just a show and one thing and not not not to say all i know because well what do we do either you need your history is moments you learn from them or you use them and then do the same shit.
01:11:33
Speaker
And one thing I've tried to tell Juan and Matt, I might be not the star of the show, I would never say that, but I might be the most outspoken one of the show. But I promise you this, I tell them all the time, and I told Juan at the beginning, and it's caught to him, and Juan's a very hard-headed individual, and I love the guy to death.
01:11:50
Speaker
But he said, bro, one thing that stuck to me is, you said, i don't i need you, Jake. I never heard that from Flo Ever from telling us that he needed us. And I make sure to affirm both of those guys.
01:12:01
Speaker
And if you ever notice, when we're on a break, it's because one of us is missing, and we're not going to do it without the other. I told them, guys, I did it with y'all. I expect to stay doing it with y'all. It's love from the heart. And it's something I learned from the bottom line.
01:12:14
Speaker
You know, we kept, I'm not saying we we should have stopped the show. You know, there are days, you know, where you would go out of town. I get it. I understand that. But what I'm saying is I try to affirm my guys that they're special to me.
01:12:26
Speaker
At one point in time, I started feeling that Flo was not feeling that way, that we were special to him. And it was more of his his way Now, I know I'm talking a lot. i'm rambling. No, please. going let you go real quick.
01:12:38
Speaker
Yeah. And just tell me where you thought the the turning point. You told me the time. We're hitting it up. Six months in, we're going crazy. When did you feel that? All right, we're at the top.
01:12:49
Speaker
And instead of going up, we're slowly falling a little. Yeah, yeah. It was a very similar moment that you had. And I but think now I remember back you telling me about that car thing. I didn't remember that until you had just told me that. But I do remember that now at the time you're telling me.
01:13:05
Speaker
ah You know, we did hit we did hit the the hat moment. Yeah, can't you? We hit the best moment on the show where... The Undertaker hat, you know, I'm coming back with my dad from a brewery in Manassas. shout out my pops and we see him wearing this hat. Like, what the hell is this?
01:13:19
Speaker
Clever D says, I wonder who called out the great value Undertaker look. Yep, yep. Tremendous job, Clever D. Tremendous. Always on point. But, yeah, so at that point, we were we were really doing very well. We had a lot of momentum. And as you mentioned, there was that.
01:13:35
Speaker
ah But there was also another sponsorship opportunity through Let's Talk Sports. which we could have had way earlier in the year but wasn't actually pounced upon until the NFL season finally with Sunday Surge, which by that point, I can tell you me personally, i it was around summertime.
01:13:56
Speaker
Where we would we had gotten past, we had gotten through the lulls of the winter season, which isn't great for anybody in sports because there's not a lot of like active sports going on.
01:14:07
Speaker
But we started coming back up when baseball and basketball and hockey were happening and then we came back down it around summertime. And it was really weird because it was like right after the NBA NHL finals and like we were still going on every day.
01:14:22
Speaker
And we just started going down and going down. And i kept seeing the numbers going down. And I was like, okay, is this worth my time anymore? Because I'm trying to do more shows on my network. And like you said, I affirm my people. I love my people, Clubber D, Bajo, Weeby, all the people that have helped me ah grow this show. I love them being on there. And I try to always accommodate people's schedules as well.
01:14:43
Speaker
um And make people feel, you know, like they like, because I do need them and I do want them. And you're right. It was just like, it felt like if we wanted to make the show a priority, Flo was threatened by that.
01:14:58
Speaker
And it felt like, it felt like. the The way that Flo would also talk to you on the program sometimes started kind of getting to me. and that was going to get there, yep.
01:15:12
Speaker
that Yeah, I guess we're we're we're we're getting there. We're at the summer part still. The summer part is when I first initially thought of quitting, last summer. i remember I remember you texting me that at one point in time. right yeah And I was like, yo, I think I don't have the time for this. And I've got a lot more going on. Got country box, stuff like that. And and we're not we're not gaining any viewers. We're not doing anything. we did We lost our momentum, stuff like that. So I was like, I'm going to probably quit soon.
01:15:36
Speaker
We ended up getting Sunday search. That kept me on a little bit because I was like, okay, well, I got i helped get i hope them you know reach this point. Let me at least go through the season with them and finish it off. And I was planning on retiring at the end of the season.
01:15:50
Speaker
Anyway, so before we even get that far, that was kind of when... I knew we peaked, and then I knew we were on the downside, and I knew that, like you said earlier with Sergishan O'Malley, there was no coming back with that momentum. And even even when we got to Sunday Surge, which at that point you would have hoped would have raised the momentum again,
01:16:11
Speaker
It was at least in my eyes, I had definitely already pulled back from the show. And I was I had missed a couple Sunday surges because I was just like, look, I got other things I got to do. And I'm not going to make it a priority if I don't feel like this show is a priority. And I got my own network that I got to run.
01:16:27
Speaker
So anyways, you take you take over from there. Let me take some comments real quick. ah AP, wasn't that his wife's hat? Sure was. It was Jennifer's hat. Thank you, Jennifer. We appreciate you for one of the funniest shows. It's his wife's hat. Oh, my God. go watch the Just go watch the minute short or real. That was a hit. That was a fucking hit.
01:16:44
Speaker
Clever D says you better hush it or get muted. Yeah, we'll get to that in just a second. Just a second. So anyways, go ahead. Take us from there. So now we're getting there. When you start taking absences, I think...
01:16:58
Speaker
Here's the thing. I love going outlandish. and Oh, hold on. One more thing. but I didn't mean to cut you off, but I forgot to say this. ah This at all is no hate on on flow. Everything we're saying in this program is all from honest and true things that have happened. So I don't want anything anybody to think it's... Yeah, I'm going to kill myself on what I didn't do. we're just we're just guys I'm being real. This is real. This is real talk. I'll tell you this.
01:17:24
Speaker
Did I do anything else to help promote the show other than just post it on Facebook? No. Absolutely. That's my fault. Failure in that. You know, now I'm trying to get TikTok open. You know, I'm trying to promote, we do YouTube shorts, TikTok, stuff like that, where I'm talking to my guys to do that.
Content Creation and Predictions
01:17:39
Speaker
I never once tried to ask Flo that. But also, I got turned off when Flo tells me, this is my show. And and at times when he would get mad, he would let me know it's his show.
01:17:50
Speaker
When he would get mad is when he would explain to me, it's my show. It's my show, Jake. Go get your own or whatever. You can look up in videos of it all. When you've triggered flow at one point in time, when I did it.
01:18:03
Speaker
yeah The boy would turn to me and tell me that it was his show. So it motivated me to make, you know, get art my own show. Of course, it's not just mine. Like I said, it's my boy's. I love it. I would never call mine.
01:18:13
Speaker
you know But it's my boy's show with me. and And that motivated me, of course, with that. And then the second thing off is, when you start doing that to me, um ah when you start doing that to me, it hurt me.
01:18:27
Speaker
You know? and and And honestly... I paid him every time. I made sure to pay him. And I honestly made sure that, you know, what I could do, I tried. Did Canteen also help with, the hey, what are we talking? I saw Canteen's effort. Hey, what are we talking about? And he'd give a list of what we're talking about. Canteen would do that.
01:18:46
Speaker
Absolutely, I saw Canteen. I'm going to point out everything. Flo, you know, like I said, he founded us. He got us all together. I give him that credit. Like I said, I think I got turned off.
01:18:57
Speaker
when I started hearing it was his show and it made me cause the pause to pause. Then you started getting absent. When you absent, I would prove him wrong. Look guys, I'm not dumb to tell y'all.
01:19:10
Speaker
Anybody can predict the Chiefs are making a close to the Super Bowl. That's not the fun part. my My goal is to make it interesting. When I make it interesting, I can get... Now, i'm not saying I'm faking stories. No, no,
01:19:23
Speaker
I'm really trying to make an educated guess. When I thought Jared Goff could be a fucking MVP, I really believed in it. And damn, he looked good two years ago for me. I really loved it. But I'm trying to make a guess, an outlandish guess that looks outlandish, but in in hindsight, I'm trying to, my goal is to beat you to the punch so I can tell you, yo, I predicted this way from here.
01:19:47
Speaker
What ended up happening is I do that too many times, so would just call me an idiot. Well, Flo, you're not making no outlandish things. I'm the only one. Everybody can predict that the Chiefs are going to be in the Super Bowl. Everybody can predict that the Niners are going to be up there, whatever, right? The Eagles, all these teams.
01:20:02
Speaker
I'm trying to do that with it with inside the show. I think when I ended up being less predictable outlandish and just started guessing the easy ones that everybody could guess, it frustrated Flo because I was right.
01:20:15
Speaker
could figure that out. I get it. But my good like I said, my goal, one thing I've always learned from a guy i listen to, my goal is not to be right. My goal is to be interesting. That's my goal. I want to be interesting to my fans, to to your fans, to everybody's fans.
01:20:29
Speaker
I want y'all to watch it and say, damn, that boy Jake is a fucking idiot. But me, he's going to be right. I want people to look back and say, damn, Dirk might be better than fucking Kevin Garnett. Really think about it, guys. Go look at that shit when y'all get a chance.
01:20:41
Speaker
Don't go back on it. That was the ending. Whenever his ass, though, started disrespecting me on the show, I really got turned off. And I would really get pissed off. I'd tell certain individuals, you know, that I was close to that would say, bro,
01:20:55
Speaker
This boy is really piercing my nerves on some stuff. And that's really sort of pissing me off. And then one time I remember you said that you got calls whenever you were getting calls and saying, and hey, bro, what happened?
01:21:06
Speaker
Like, i got i got I got text messages myself that it flows over there killing Jake, just kicking them off the show. My thing was, was we're all paying the same price. We're all paying the same price for that show.
01:21:18
Speaker
And somehow I didn't have admin rights that whole time. Now, did you
Fantasy Football League Issues
01:21:22
Speaker
give them to me? I'm not sure. You might have. But boy, if me not having them, boy, did you take advantage of it and kept kicking me off. And it started pissing me off real easily.
01:21:31
Speaker
You could do it once or twice here or there. And I can tell when it's fun. And I can also tell when it's too ah vigorous or you're out of hate. It's more of hate you hate. Yeah, exactly. Malicious. Great word.
01:21:44
Speaker
That's what got them. From then on, I think this was the camel that broke the camel's back. I'm going to turn it back to you.
01:21:53
Speaker
Bro, between me and you, last year, paid Yahoo. Stupid What you talking Well, last year, last year.
01:22:06
Speaker
i think my dad paid thirty five dollars dollars to yahoo sports for the fantasy last year I don't know if anybody ever won that. And i I know me and my dad didn't because my dad said, hey, dude, get me in there. And I'm not trying to put my dad in the middle. He didn't even know. he did I had told him, dude, I'm in two leagues already. I can't handle a third.
01:22:25
Speaker
And Flo wants me in it. And he said, you know what? If you draft for me, Jake, ah I could just work on it over the weeks. And then you can just work and just check up on it in the last, you know, before the hour of it's 11 before noon.
01:22:40
Speaker
So that was last year. This is not this year what happened. um That's why I'm gonna point it to you what happens next. That was last year. That $35, I don't know what happened. But I know my dad paid it. I don't know if that guy got it or whatever. I don't know. Me and my dad knew we lost, so we didn't look at it.
01:22:55
Speaker
but I don't know if he got refunded. I could ask my dad or whatever. This year he asked me and my dad never came up to me and told me, hey, dude, I'd love to do it again. So I really didn't even try to join this year because I always have my two leagues that I do.
01:23:08
Speaker
I do one with my friends and one with my ones from work. So that was the only way I could do it. I control one and then I have my fantasy with my friends from work. So I can't really, what's it called? Now let's get to you.
01:23:20
Speaker
You did join that that fantasy league, and you brought friends along, and I think this is the breaking point. Go ahead, my brother. Yeah, so again, last summer I was already thinking about you know retiring, quitting, whatever. I needed to go on and do my own thing. I felt the show was coming to an end, and then you know we got Sunday Surge, and it was like, okay, well, I'll just stick on through the NFL season, and then i started again, I started to see the way – He was talking to you and treating you during the show. And yeah, a lot of times it would be funny.
01:23:47
Speaker
But a lot of times you could also see, like you said, when it was actually not from a place of fun, from from a place of ah just wanting to be mean about it. um And i also...
01:23:59
Speaker
realized that as I had, which was my, which was one of the things I did wrong was started to pull back and miss more shows because I wasn't feeling it. Um, which I think then caused flow to try to do the same so that he started missing shows, which I had to start filling in for, then he gets all his information of him,
01:24:20
Speaker
where he he's going to be leaving or whatever, and it's like, okay, well, now I have to stay on for the show or the show is going to die, so now I feel like I'm having to do it every week, and it's not like i want it right it's not that I wasn't having fun with you and Canteen, but I felt like I was obligated to be there every every week when I had other things that I wanted to do.
01:24:38
Speaker
um So seeing all these things come into play, um knowing about... ah Knowing about the way that Flo wants to project himself as a person, um as a God-fearing man, as as as a as a person who loves other people and all of these things.
01:25:02
Speaker
There were just some times, even not only just with you, but with me or with Canteen, it's like... you know I'm not really seeing the same person that's telling me all these things um and who i who I believed in at this at the beginning of the show that we had something good that we were going to do with this.
01:25:19
Speaker
And it started to flounder out. And then So anyways, I go positive into the NFL season. We're doing our show. I'm missing some shows here and there because obviously I got a of shit going on. Start to travel, vacation, things like that.
01:25:32
Speaker
We end up entering a fantasy football league, yeah ESPN. We all put our money in. End of the season comes along, by the way. by much How much was in everybody putting in?
01:25:45
Speaker
$60 a piece. Okay. So it's $60 a piece to join the league. Top prize $400, I believe, like $200, and then like $100. Because, yeah, it was a 12-piece person league for $60. So, okay.
01:25:57
Speaker
I um i invite my buddy, one of my best friends from the military, to come play ah in the league because Flo needed one more person to make $12 or whatever.
01:26:11
Speaker
So I grab my buddy. I'm not going to name his name. That's not important. He comes in, pays his money. So if any season goes through, my my friend ends up winning the championship, ends up winning the $400. So...
01:26:25
Speaker
so We're going through the season. We're going through Christmas. it's I'm back home now at this point. I get a text sometime after Christmas, maybe like a week after Christmas or something like that. And my buddy's like, hey, you know, I still haven't ah got my money. You know what's going on kind of thing. I was like, oh, well, you know, he's been busy with his.
01:26:47
Speaker
is His trip, and I say trip, it's much more serious than that, so I'm just using trip as a as in ah as a as a cover. You don't really need to know anybody. But it was more important to that, so it wasn't like he was just at the time you know taking a a vacation.
01:27:02
Speaker
So anyways, um I was like, but you know hey, I'll check into it for you. But at this time, Flo wasn't really on the show anymore. He was doing his thing, getting ready. He was not really participating at this point Right, right, right.
01:27:15
Speaker
um So, you know, messages are sent to flow online by text, things like that, asking what's up, blah, blah, blah. um Nobody hears anything for the first, ah you know, few weeks.
01:27:30
Speaker
Comes around, it's probably like a month after, maybe three weeks after, a month after the season has ended. This is now probably going to February, right? Almost, february almost, end January.
01:27:44
Speaker
andner Super Bowl time is about right, right about before Super Bowl. So, um And for anybody who doesn't play finished football, when you play finished football, you are supposed to be paid out the day after the season is over. If you are a commissioner and you collect money, you put all that money in a safe place or you keep it in the Venmo, you keep it in the PayPal, you keep it in a bank, and or if you're going to spend it, which, hey, fine, just make sure you have money backed up that you can later replenish the coffers to be able to pay people at the end of the season.
01:28:17
Speaker
so Right. Come to find out he hadn't been paid, he hits up second place. Second place tells him, oh, I got my money at the end of the season.
01:28:28
Speaker
So now my friend's like, yo, what the fuck is happening right now? So he hits me up. He's like, hey, yo, like sends me the screenshot. And I'm like, damn, that's tearing up.
01:28:40
Speaker
So I'm starting thinking to myself and I'm like, okay, what could be the reason that something like this would have happened? Obviously, at some point, there had to be some financial situation that happened, whereas the money needed to be used and only...
01:28:54
Speaker
ah and was thought at the time that would be able to be replenished and paid back. And then things ended up compounding upon themselves. That's how I understand the situation to have happened.
01:29:07
Speaker
A financial situation that compounded did not allow for everyone to be paid at the end of the season. The other way I look at that is that The people that were paid second third place were people that had been part of the league, part of the group for a long time.
01:29:24
Speaker
My buddy was brought in at the last meeting, didn't even participate in the group. My thought on it at the time was Flo said, okay, I don't know who this guy is and probably no one does. I can get away with not paying him for a while until I get this figured out and then I can pay him later and no one's going to say anything.
01:29:41
Speaker
Little did he know, this is one of my really, really good friends that was going to tell me automatically when this happened. Make a long story short from here because I know Jake has to get off. um You're good. You're good.
01:29:54
Speaker
ah the It ended up being a bunch of ignored messages, a bunch of thumbs up at messages, a bunch of I'm going to do this in two weeks. I'm going to do this in two weeks.
01:30:06
Speaker
False promises. False promises, pushing back, delaying, things like this. Then finally come along where I'm getting to my breaking point because not only is my friend sending me texts where he's upset, which is making me, putting me in the middle and upsetting and stressing me out. Then it's then all my friends know about it.
01:30:25
Speaker
So now my whole group chat knows about it. My dad knows about it. Like everybody knows about it. Everybody's coming to me asking me what the fuck is going on. I'm having to deal with all this shit. I'm like, I don't even want to be in the middle of this. I just wish this shit was over. Please just pay him.
01:30:37
Speaker
So I go to canteen I'm like, yo, we got to figure this out. I can't keep going like this. It's been four months. All right. Four months at this time. It had been four. was It was, was April at this time.
01:30:50
Speaker
I said, canteen, canteen, we got to figure this out. We cannot do this any longer. So canteen said, right, I'm going to work something out. So, And this is, i I first of all want to say I love Canteen. He's my brother.
01:31:03
Speaker
I love him. this is there There's no disrespect at all against Canteen. Canteen had nothing at all done wrong. he He's the least person to have done any wrong out of all of us in these in this breakup. Just put it that way. Absolutely. if there was anyone that that caused the least irreparable harm, it was Canteen.
01:31:23
Speaker
Absolutely. So I want to say that first. But what I will say is that Flo and Canteen have a relationship, and this was shown, and I first noticed this when the whole Cowboys-Falcons thing kept coming up.
01:31:37
Speaker
Canteen and Flo are such good friends and so close, and Canteen trusts Flo so much that Canteen... is Not influenced easily. I'm not going to say that. But Canteen will willingly change his opinion to agree with Flo because he wants Flo to feel good about himself.
01:31:57
Speaker
It's not that Canteen is cante iss just a really good guy and he just wants everybody to feel good. So he'd rather... let himself sit in the background, which is what he always did in the show, to lift everybody else up, which is why Canteen's such a great guy.
01:32:11
Speaker
But in this same aspect, then when Flo is like, hey, you take over the stream yard, I'll pay you my portion, and then you can pay him back. I heard this at first, and i was i was befuddled.
01:32:24
Speaker
I started thinking about this, and it took me a couple days to like really assess what is really happening. And I'm thinking to myself, why the hell would you take over the StreamYard, Canteen?
01:32:35
Speaker
First of all, you're supposed to be paying the the the the lump sum to my buddy, and then Flo's going to pay you back. But if that's the case, Flo should still be paying the StreamYard, and you should not be paying him.
01:32:47
Speaker
And you should be taking that out of his ass every month. Okay, I'm not paying you $30 this month. I'm not paying $30 next month. i'm not So $30 up to $400, right? I'm not paying you for 13 months.
01:32:59
Speaker
You're giving me free StreamYard. And that's how that should have worked. And it would have been really easy. But somehow, someway, Canteen ended up getting the StreamYard put on his finances, his big statement.
01:33:10
Speaker
And Flo made out like the Mad Dasher off to another foreign land. And so at that point, I'm like, yo, that's that's fucked up. are you going to do that to you How are you going to try it? Like, that doesn't even make sense.
01:33:22
Speaker
Let's say that Flo didn't do it on purpose. I'm going give him the benefit out Say he didn't do it on purpose. He didn't realize what he was doing. That makes no logical sense. Why would I pay the full $90 a month when I have to pay the lump sea sum to this guy?
01:33:35
Speaker
You're the one that should be doing that and giving me money every month. That's not what happened. So now Canteen, who was not ready for this arrangement and did not have the proper funds prepared to be able to do this sort of thing because obviously Flo caught him. I don't know what. I don't know if he i don't want to say caught him off guard, but Flo and him had this deal that happened at the last minute.
01:33:53
Speaker
So... so Canteen's like, well, I need a couple weeks. I can't do it right now. And I understand. I'm like, okay, yeah, I get that. But at the same time, yo, we're getting middle of April.
01:34:05
Speaker
Now we're getting past his birthday. we're getting taught I'm talking my friend's birthday. We're getting close to November. May we've been days earlier than mine. We're getting towards my birthday.
01:34:15
Speaker
Now I'm like, okay, no, something has to happen. So I call canteen. I'm like, no, we've got to get something done today. We've got to at least get him half of the money today. So I ended up sending my buddy some money. Canteen pays me back.
01:34:29
Speaker
Cool. Whatever. We get that out of the way. Actually, we to be completely honest and upfront, because I want Canteen to get all the credit for this, we did it at the same time. So Canteen was basically
Podcast Closure and Future Projects
01:34:39
Speaker
paying it. I just paid for my account to my buddy because I had his email.
01:34:42
Speaker
So I have no part of that. i don't want to take any credit for it. It was Canteen. But still $200 are now owed to my buddy who still hasn't been paid the full amount, which by the way, one of the funniest things I heard in this whole thing and shout out to club for tuning in. So it says only respectable leagues do that in terms of paying your people on time.
01:35:00
Speaker
But one of the funniest things I heard in this whole thing, when I was telling the story to one person that I will not name is why the hell does the $400 got to be split up anyways? Like, and that's nothing on canteen that was more towards towards flow. Like,
01:35:15
Speaker
you have You have to get to yourself into some kind of conundrum, some kind of situation that is so extreme. I, right now, have spent a lot of money lately on vacation and things like that. My bank account is a little only on the low.
01:35:31
Speaker
Even then, if I needed to pay somebody $400 tomorrow, I could. I'm not that hurting. And I'm not in i'm not getting paid monthly monthly. in the military. So there's another disconnect there as well, but we'll let all that go and just say, okay, $200 left. What are we going to do now? Finally, Flo, to his credit, pays the $200 to finish everything off.
01:35:53
Speaker
The only problem is it was five months later. We are at the beginning of May when my buddy gets paid. The stress, the anger that was caused to him, the stress that was caused to me for being in the middle of it, the stress that was caused to Canteen for being thrown in the middle of this, the irreparable harm which was done to the show and to our relationships, because I will be completely honest right now, while I was already thinking of retiring back last summer, this was, as you said, the straw that broke the camel's back.
01:36:28
Speaker
I can no longer associate myself with someone who would do something like that. Now, I'm not saying i I dislike flow. I don't. I'm not saying i nothing like that.
01:36:39
Speaker
I respect flow. I still have love for flow. We can still be boys, whatever. But I myself will not associate myself on a show or or or pretty much in general either. And again, I'm not saying I don't like flow and I won't talk to him, but um I can't associate myself with someone who's going to do that and be so nonchalant about the things that are happening.
01:37:02
Speaker
and not care of the fact that there are other people getting hurt by this whole situation other than just the person not being paid, which is the person who's aggrieved the most in this, but there's other people involved in this situation.
01:37:15
Speaker
Would you say we lost subscribers because of this as well? Oh, my God. Did we lose some subscribers? Pretty much most of my group chat unsubscribed. There's a couple left that really like sports and wanted to stay in the group just for the news and stuff, but pretty much everybody unsubscribed and stopped watching us. I noticed that. And stopped watching us.
01:37:34
Speaker
People stopped watching the bottom line sports. Trust was gone. Trust was eroded. We had lost it. The mojo was gone. There was no gaining it back.
01:37:46
Speaker
And again... No, nothing against Flo for my personal thing at all, but the situation put me to a point where I could no longer associate myself with his actions.
01:37:58
Speaker
Again, I'm not going to put it on him as a person, but those are actions that, I mean, he claims to be this this sort of person, which I agree he is most of the time. And I i would say, i would normally say, okay, he's probably you know a better person than I am.
01:38:12
Speaker
But this is not something that I would ever do. Yeah. you know I get it. so And the way to close it out on this is... Please. I think we were there a little too long.
01:38:23
Speaker
I think in the end, like you said, the mojo was falling. I get it. um I believe there was disrespectful moves. Like I said, did I ever go out of my way to make the show better? No. That's on me too. I got to take that. I got to take that as the L for me.
01:38:38
Speaker
um In the end, do I appreciate... him giving us that meet me and the opportunity. Absolutely. All the effort effort he put into the show.
01:38:48
Speaker
I have always said that to him every month. I say, thank you for the images. He started the intro, right? He has a video, never touched it. He did that. All that, all him, give it to him all day of the week. He had the closing and the opening.
01:39:02
Speaker
Help me a matter. Just now trying to figure that out on our show right now. We've got fucking copyrighted with the damn last one. I don't know how we did. It was a non copyright song. ah no It makes no sense.
01:39:12
Speaker
Hey, let me know. but i got I got some beats that I, a bunch of beats that I leased that I have copyright. I might have to then. and Yeah, I'll probably hit you up privately on that after. But yeah, like I said, bro, in the end, I appreciate you, Flo.
01:39:26
Speaker
I appreciate Canteen. I appreciate them both. Definitely. I appreciate meeting my boy, Omar, the the man, the myth, the legend, the goat himself. um The show did what it was supposed to do.
01:39:39
Speaker
And that's why I said in that long messages one night when I sent it privately, I said, look, I appreciate all y'all for this, but I think in our respective categories, maybe we can all in in one day in time,
01:39:52
Speaker
have ah a reunion show or a you know ah just a comeback one episode show here or there. or Or you can come on my pod one day. I know you ah know more than ever you'll be on at one of my pods soon.
01:40:05
Speaker
um ah Same thing with Canteen where he could we could be on you know he could be on ours, we could be on theirs with something. I just wanted it to be respectful in that aspect. Like I said, I completely agree.
01:40:17
Speaker
I think it was months too long. The way I see it was... Once you put the toothpaste out of the damn, you can't take the toothpaste out of the damn container and then think you put it back in the tube. Can't.
01:40:28
Speaker
That's what it was. and And one of the messages that kind of rubbed me the wrong way was that when he paid, he said, hey, we should be back to normal, guys, whatever. na No, no, no. That was wild to me hearing that. That's not for you to decide.
01:40:40
Speaker
You just heard a friend. You heard a co-host that that has been dealing with this shit for the past five to six months. And you just thought i was just going to be, oh, why are we under the bridge? No, no, no, bro. You've got to understand that.
01:40:53
Speaker
And that's the way I see it, too. But once again, I'll say it. yeah And they just just to have a funny moment to go out on, um the fact that he had the nerve in the message to say, hey, guys, make sure you pay Canteen for StreamYard when my boy still hadn't been paid yet. No, I'm not paying you until my buddy gets paid.
01:41:12
Speaker
And then right when my buddy got paid, oh wow I sent Canteen the money immediately for the month. Immediately, right when he got paid. Okay, I didn't know that. I didn't know that he hadn't paid yet.
01:41:23
Speaker
Well, there's one other thing. Oh, yeah. that When he sent that message, he hadn't fully paid yet. um ah But he did right after that. One thing i will we will not bring up that was done, hot take Jake heard a conversation one time.
01:41:36
Speaker
And we're not going to out a anybody because we really don't need to be disrespectful or say things like that. But Flo, you said something one time when you didn't know that Jake was listening. And what you said was very messed up. And I'm not going to announce it out loud because I'm not trying to put you on blast. And you i don't people don't need to know.
01:41:51
Speaker
But just know that you need to be very more careful when you're talking about people when you if if you don't know they're there. Because things that you say are very hurtful and trying to take advantage of other people um is not cool.
01:42:02
Speaker
So that's what I'll say on that. I agree. I agree. That's the way I'll close, man. I mean, like I said, I appreciate them. Yeah. You know, appreciation. hey we yeah Hey, one day we will have another bottom line reunion show sometime years down the line. We'll laugh about everything, whatever, blah, blah. But right now, i cannot I cannot associate myself with that show. I get it. I cannot associate myself with him.
01:42:25
Speaker
And it doesn't matter because he's not going to be back for the next nine months or so anyway. So the show's not going to happen. I feel bad for Canteen. going to bring Canteen on my show sometimes. But that show's not going to start happening again until, what, next year? So i don't I have too much going on. I i want to build ball and buds. I got Country Box. I got a new client. I got all this other shit going on. I didn't have time anymore.
01:42:44
