Rey Mysterio's Career Debate
00:01:12
Speaker
What's good, brother? I'm still mad at you about yesterday with that voodoo crap you did to me about cutting me off. And you didn't let me get back on. I know you did. it was but You did something. I know you did. I was destroying you all day with them wrestling takes. If you didn't catch it, great show, guys. Get on. Go watch it. I think I saw 41 views on the first, ah the first, what's it called, already, on the first episode of it.
00:01:35
Speaker
And that doesn't even count the, yeah, that doesn't count the ah Facebook views that we got as well. Both. So, ah yeah, when we got cut off, though, we were talking Ray Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero.
00:01:48
Speaker
And if Ray Mysterio had a boosted shot at championships due to Eddie Guerrero, surprisingly, i know I don't know if you were actually listening into that part, but most of the guys agreed with you.
00:02:00
Speaker
Bobby G definitely did, and AP did a little bit, too. Who's the smart one out of the two of us? Well, that's that's first of all, the ah broken clock is right twice a fucking day, you piece of shit. That's not true at all.
00:02:12
Speaker
but ah But you were right about that. I think, obviously, they probably did give him that initial title. Now, do I think Rey Mysterio is a legend in this game and would have won titles regardless? Yes, I do.
00:02:24
Speaker
Because I think that they were he was on the same level as Eddie Guerrero. any of that as We got to come back to that one day. We will. We'll get back to that. Don't you worry. when district great we had to we we We know what your what your feelings are on it. So, you know, hey that's okay. I will have to say the other guys agreed with you.

NBA MVP Debate: Jokic vs SGA
00:03:54
Speaker
hot takes of the week. Y'all, this is going to be a high paced, high energy and really fun show today. So I'm excited. Are you excited to get your ass whooped? Your damn or well bullshit. I ain't getting my ass whooped. I almost got you. I almost you. Let's Let's go. I thought you were going to come back with smack my ass so I could flame you with that shit again. Oh, here we go again.
00:04:21
Speaker
You know I do that all the time. Let's kick it off with the NBA. Yes, indeed. You see, we got our and MVP race. um You know, not only the and MVP race, but we also got the finals in the playoffs. The play-in started yesterday. If you did not see the Hornets actually beat the Heat.
00:04:41
Speaker
In a very much of a contentious game, lebel LaMelo Ball pulling on the ankle of Bam Adebayo, causing him to get injured and then not being in the game. And then LaMelo Ball making the final shot to win the game. So a lot of contention there about whether he should have been thrown out or not. But either way, the and NBA playoffs have started. But the most contentious debate of them all is...
00:05:04
Speaker
Who is the, who, who, who, like the New Day would say, is the MVP of this NBA basketball season? We have um former two-time MVP, Nikola Jokic.
00:05:19
Speaker
No way, he's a three-time MVP. He's a three-time, don't disrespect. I did not mean to disrespect, my apologies. I was thinking s STA. And we also have what should have been already two-time MVP, SGA, even though he got screwed a couple years ago by the... yo Well, that's that's and that is your end now. Let's talk about it. Who do you have, sir?
00:05:43
Speaker
as Actually, you know what? Before you do that, let me introduce some stats because this will help set the scene a little bit. In the NBA basketball reference and MVP tracker, Jokic is actually in the lead slightly over SBA.
00:05:56
Speaker
This happened to turn in the last week because Jokic had that great performance to beat the Thunder. But SDA and the Thunder are 64 and 18. Nikolai Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, 54 and 28. So 10 more wins there.
00:06:12
Speaker
You also look at their scoring numbers. So scoring SDA is the better scorer. 31 points a game to 28 points game. But Nikolai Jokic did something unprecedented this year. I'm sure Jake will talk about it. You know, leading the league as a center in both assist and rebound um and better than SDA.
00:06:32
Speaker
So what do you have here? Who are you choosing?
NFL Draft Strategies for Raiders
00:06:36
Speaker
I'm taking Joker all day twice on Sundays. Oh, my God. Here we go. 27 points. Mind you, 27. 12 rebounds and 10 assists. This man's effort averaging a triple-double.
00:06:50
Speaker
for the year let me add this in right now who's the better team the nuggets or the thunder the thunder that's not even a question they got 10 more wins i'm so glad you brought that up thank you no no no i'm making my sport even better i see what you did do well more i see what you did that's not what i meant so joker is a worse team compared to sga thank you for looking like an idiot oh Oh, you got me good. That's not what I meant. yes Not only that, i and and and I'm going to ahead and I know we went to hot takes, but this is this has got to be an early hot take to add this in. Joker will go down as the greatest center of all time as long as Wimby falls beneath the wings. But it will go as the top three centers of all time.
00:07:35
Speaker
Wimby, Joker, Shaq. And that's it. Wimby, Joker, and Shaq, we are watching the two... GOATS OF SINNERS, HAND IN HAND.
00:07:46
Speaker
AND WE'RE SEEING IT FIRSTHAND. AND RIGHT NOW, I'M SO PROUD OF WHAT JOKER'S DOING. JOKER IS SHOWING YOU WHAT HE CAN BECOME. AND I DO BELIEVE, I KNOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO USE THE RINGS AGAINST HIM.
00:07:59
Speaker
BUT REMEMBER, GUYS, HE'S A SINNER. AND HIS BEST PLAYER, HIS SECOND BEST PLAYER IS JAMAL MURRAY, WHO'S um a LESS AVERAGE TONY PARKER, IN MY OPINION.
00:08:09
Speaker
Never that great. So I'm not doing that. I'm sorry. I'm going Joker all day. Joker deserves this. He deserves to have four time. Yes, you heard it. Four time. Four time. I'll say it just like Booker T, but he says five. Four time.
00:08:23
Speaker
Four time. You're damn right. He should be the four-time MVP. And you know better than me, Omar. You know, and you said it already. The better team is the Thunder. SGA don't even have to play half the games and they'll still win.
00:08:36
Speaker
not hearing that, bro. Go. Go trash. Do you ever even listen to yourself before these dumb words come out of your mouth?
00:08:49
Speaker
Because clearly you ain't listening. um And clearly you ain't paying attention. Because if you did pay attention, your ass wouldn't be listing centers that are only from the freaking 1990s and now with your young ass.
00:09:06
Speaker
Maybe if you did things the right way, you would understand that there were way greater centers way before Shaq ever came along.
00:09:17
Speaker
Shaq is the most dominant there ever was. back The fact that you're even putting Wemby into the top centers of all time when he hasn't even been in the league yet or ah long enough or won and even won a playoff game yet.
00:09:31
Speaker
That is what is blasphemous to the resumes, to the legacies, to the dominance of Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon,
00:09:51
Speaker
Come on, what are you talking about? Okay, no, see, you're not going to do this. You're not going to make these dumbass... Those four guys you named, they all had
Wrestling Superstar Debate: Obafemi vs Lesnar
00:10:00
Speaker
a hashtag behind it. The first two played hands. There ain't hashtag behind nothing.
00:10:04
Speaker
They played guys that were practically getting off of their 9-5 and played them after school. Get out of here. You know it and I know it too. Don't do they would have dominated the players today because they would have been bigger, faster, stronger too. That's a hot take right there. You got to think about the evolution. Bill Russell now with the training and the the weights and the dieticians, he'd have been Wemby times four. It have been Jason Tatum now.
00:10:31
Speaker
He would not have been a say he was only six eight He was only Omar. Okay, so first of all, you want to get back to team. Okay, maybe ah when you said does he have a better team in my eyes, I was thinking team record because yes, they have 10 more wins. Why? Because the SGA, Chet Holmgren, not Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams was hurt for half of the damn season.
00:10:58
Speaker
So what are we talking about? They didn't even have full, their full complement of pieces. Dort wasn't playing as good as he did last year. So a lot of moving pieces there. SGA still carried this team. And yes, Jokic, look, I ain't going to shit on Jokic. Jokic is a great player. He's doing something, as I said yesterday on on the NBA show, that we've never seen before from a center in terms of a big center, right? Because he's a big, you know, he's not in shape by any means necessary. but He still goes out there and makes every single shot, no way no matter how crazy of a shot it is he throws it up.
00:11:35
Speaker
I said yesterday on the NBA show, I think he sold his soul because there's no way he should be a basketball player like this. But regardless, um or irregardless, rather, in that situation, he is...
00:11:48
Speaker
He is a great player, and yes, he led the league in assists and rebounds, and yes, he averaged a triple-double. So did Russell Westbrook. So did big Oscar Robertson.
00:11:59
Speaker
Great. People do these sorts of things. It's getting more common as, okay, it's only a third person. But... SGA had a historically efficient season, 31 points, as I mentioned, but also his true shooting or his effective field goal percentage even is around 60%. That is immaculate for a guard to be able to shoot those kind of numbers. Jokic spends half his time in the post.
00:12:29
Speaker
So yes, he gets a little short buckets. And shout out to man down, Mel, who... ah you know, and this was debated yesterday, said that Jokic likes to stat pad.
00:12:41
Speaker
And you can say, well, everybody likes to stat pad. But I do sort of agree that when Jokic wants to tell his coach to put him at point guard over their own point guards that they have so he can get
Vince McMahon's Impact on WWE
00:12:55
Speaker
the ball and get more assists, that seems a little ah ball hoggish to me.
00:13:01
Speaker
A little, I want the spotlight in in in in cannibalizing own teammates. Are you being fair? Hold on. Are you being fair? Because SGA has what? Every time I see that guy drive down the lane, he gets a free free throw.
00:13:18
Speaker
So let's be real. If you're going to bring it there both ways, bring it there both ways. they making contact? Are they making contact in on him? Does he deserve those free throws for getting fouled? love that Steve Kerr called it out already. They've they've been very ticky-tacky taking care of him.
00:13:32
Speaker
I've never seen any superstar get taken care of the way he does. Steve Kerr is a hater like you. Steve Kerr is a bum like you. You can't pass. I do agree he does get a lot of calls, but let's not act like Jokic doesn't get calls. That's BS too.
00:13:53
Speaker
I don't want to hear that. Either way, look, it's going to be a Let's get it come down to the wire. Last week, as I mentioned in basketball reference, SGA was the MVP leader. Now, after Jokic had that great performance and they beat the Thunder, now Jokic is. So we don't know what the voters are going to choose. Who do you choose?
00:14:11
Speaker
Drop it in the comments. Let us know who your MVP is for NBA. I have SGA. Hot Take Jake has the Joker.
00:14:23
Speaker
All right. So let's move it into our second topic of the day. The NFL draft is coming up soon. Yes, we are super excited and looking forward to that NFL draft. If I could get that. There we go. Super excited to. Oh, wrong one.
Hockey Great Debate: Ovechkin vs Gretzky
00:14:44
Speaker
There we go. and it felt NFL draft next week starting next Thursday. And my Raiders, yes, my Las Vegas Raiders have the number one pick in the draft.
00:14:57
Speaker
Much needed because we have sucked for a long, long time. And I hate it. And i also hate that my nemesis, who is also a Broncos fan,
00:15:08
Speaker
hose fan uh i i just don't like anything about it that being said hot take jake they do have the number one pick they are projected if they keep the pick to pick fernando mendoza qb out of indiana and they obviously need a qb after what the debacle of geno smith was last year my friend who do you have what do you think they should do with this pick They exactly should take Fernando Mendoza.
00:15:38
Speaker
Let me tell you something, Omar. Think about this. You have gone. from Gino Smith. Who was the other idiot you had the year before that? Aiden Mitchell? Who was that? Aiden O'Connell? Who's Aiden? Oh, Aiden O'Connell.
00:15:50
Speaker
Yeah, there you go, bro. It's Aiden Mitchell. That's how it is, bro. Just random. I mean, you're right. You're right. You had You had Joey from McDonald's. Like I said, you finally have a chance to get a quarterback. We had Jake from Frito-Lay. Yeah. That's a throwaway, yeah. You bum. but Like I said, this is now your best moment because to to start it off, it starts with the QB.
00:16:21
Speaker
I'll tell you this. I'll go out on limb. you'll have the third best quarterback in the league not in the league in the in the car in the division wait what okay in the division in the division right off the bat because automatically fernando's better than justin herbert i'm calling i knew you were gonna say that i knew you were gonna that's not you at all bro and i'm gonna add this in We're maybe two. If the Chiefs don't get their act together, Fernando can be better. Remember, Pat Mahomes lives off of what people do. Hey, hey, hey, whoa. Just saying. Whoa.
00:16:55
Speaker
Look, boy do I know. look ah We are both haters. I know we're both queefs haters. I know we both hate those Kansas City bums that Wildcard Mar loves.
00:17:07
Speaker
But let's not be blasphemous. I didn't say right now. Patrick Mahomes is still the best quarterback in the league until further notice. No, we're not saying that. I'm not saying that. here I want to add this in, too. Okay.
00:17:17
Speaker
Fernando Mendoza's projection of what he looks like. You know what they're comparing him to? What? Talk about Bird's coat outside. Joe Burrell. Hey, let's go.
00:17:29
Speaker
Joey B, let's go. would love that. I don't like the Raiders, but that's me being a friend telling you, hey, bro, don't make this mistake. Because if you do, and let me tell you something, Omar, do you want walk into week one celebrating and watching Kirk Cousins take the field for you?
00:17:47
Speaker
Week one? Is that going to make you quiver? is that going to make you shout and scream, yeah, we got a chance? Wow. Come on, Omar. Call spade a spade, bro.
00:17:58
Speaker
Is it time to finally, after 20 plus years, come to a damn season and actually say, maybe we got a chance with this QB? Rather than say, damn, hopefully we're not owing four in four weeks.
00:18:11
Speaker
Come on, Omar. will not let you besmirch the tremendous name of Kirk Daniel Cousins.
00:18:26
Speaker
Okay? My favorite quarterback since he joined our team a couple weeks ago. And I would be absolutely thrilled if Kirk Cousins took us to the playoffs as a wildcard team.
00:18:41
Speaker
Because I believe that that is what could happen with Kirk Cousins. Now, do I hope that they That's a hot take. You That's not hot take. They could easily get eight or nine wins with Kirk Cousins and the new roster they got. What are you talking about?
00:18:57
Speaker
Glenn Kubiak did not come with Mike McDaniel and that Seahawks defense. Well, that's okay. yes Let him you get some run first before you start hating. And not do a damn thing on defense. Your defense is nowhere near that.
00:19:11
Speaker
I can't name a damn defensive player on that team except Max Crosby, who wasn't even supposed to be there in the first place because the Ravens should have had him if they don't back out of that trade.
00:19:22
Speaker
Y'all are some damn bums for that, Ravens. Y'all are some bum-eating bums. Anyways, ah no. i Look, they say Fernando maybe but the Mendoza may be this, may be that, this, that, and the third. You never know if a quarterback is actually going to pan out. You know how many quarterbacks we've seen over the years that have gone number one and haven't panned out. May I remind you,
00:19:49
Speaker
Of the last time my freaking sucky Raiders performed this exercise and chose Jeff badass Russell who was sipping so much lean he thought he took Videotape home for practice and forgot he didn't even watch that shit because he was so high off the scissor um We don't need that again.
00:20:14
Speaker
What we need is five picks And if we trade Fernando Mendoza, we can demand a first, second, and third this year, and a first and second next year from whatever team comes to calling.
00:20:31
Speaker
And lately, they said teams are coming to calling. And if you're telling me that the Raiders wouldn't be better off with five picks, including two first rounders, even if they're not number one, instead of a quarterback that hasn't even proved that he can play NFL defenses or against real men in professional football, then you, sir, are
Humorous Anecdotes and Banter
00:20:54
Speaker
tripping. And that's why you're not a real GM. And that's why I should be the Raiders GM.
00:21:01
Speaker
Yeah, you sound dumb. Call me. Call me. I don't know how you finally have the number one overall pick. A good quarterback is coming out, and a Raiders fan would know how to whiff this so fast.
00:21:15
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Let's go ahead and sell them and buy some mediocre players here now soon in the draft. Man, come on, Omar. ah oh Yeah, it doesn't really matter.
00:21:26
Speaker
Let's be honest. They are going to pick Mendoza. There's a reason they brought in, as Jake said, Clint Kubiak. There's a reason they brought in Tyler Lindobah to protect him at center.
00:21:38
Speaker
So we know that that's what they're going to do. But if it were me, Raiders, if you're listening... Take the five picks and improve the team overall. Let Kirk Cousins win it this season. And do what I said three years ago when Hot Take Jake and I were on a former show called The Bottom Line Sports. When I said the march for Arch was on for the Las Vegas Raiders.
00:22:08
Speaker
and you're still going for that you're still going for that i want that okay i may hate everything texas because of you except arch manning come to the raiders baby let's go moving on actually no you have po two hot takes today so give us your first hot take of the day well like i said uh and i'll say it here i i missed the show at the end of it like yesterday I think right now, guys, because WrestleMania is this weekend,
Public Displays of Affection Discussion
00:22:39
Speaker
I want to go ahead and bring it out already.
00:22:41
Speaker
I think right now, guys, Obafemi overall will be a better overall superstar than Brock Lesnar. I don't think this is a huge hot take because remember, think about this.
00:22:53
Speaker
Brock left. He went to the UFC and sucked it up. Okay. I mean, he didn't suck it up. He fought for titles. He was average. He was average at best. Okay. I don't know. Come on, man. I could have whooped his ass in that ring. I don't know. That's that's ridiculous. Shut your shut true fucking mouth. That is wild. and I hope Brock Lesnar comes to wherever the hell you are, Lubbock or whatever, and slaps the slaps the taste out of your mouth for that bullshit. Bull crap. Yeah, get out of here. As I was saying, Oba will go down. And i loved I'm actually going to steal this kind hot take in a way.
00:23:29
Speaker
I like what, a oh, what's his name from yesterday? The Audible podcast. Bobby G. Bobby G, there you go. I think Oba can go on and undertake a run.
00:23:40
Speaker
I do love that. I love hearing that. I think he can go. He should be the next person to go after for an undefeated streak at WrestleMania. And it starts now beating Brock.
00:23:52
Speaker
showing that he is the ruler for good. And he'll do it. He'll do it. Don't you worry, Omar. He'll do it. Look, I'm not going to argue whether he could do it or not. He definitely can. And if you're asking me, I would much rather have that. I like that idea. Like you said, that Bobby G had shout out to the audible podcast, Bobby G. wildcard mark uh ap alan perrales that were all with us yesterday me and hot take jake thank you all brothers uh look i agree i like that idea i think that they should do something like that and i think he's the perfect character to do it with as the ruler as that big man as the brock dominating character do i agree with you that he actually becomes at least
00:24:32
Speaker
Brock, yeah, if he stays healthy, I don't see why not, because they're going to push him to that level.
NFL Trade Speculations and Rumors
00:24:37
Speaker
And if he can stay healthy and has the longevity, then he should be at least at the level of Brock Lesnar.
00:24:42
Speaker
Do I think he would be more than Brock Lesnar? I can't say that because Brock Lesnar is a legend WWE. I mean, he has been a dominant force for 20 years now. That takes a lot of longevity and a lot of work and character building.
00:24:56
Speaker
Has Brock Lesnar ever been a good mic skill wrestler to you? No, i didn't know that's why he never talks on a mic. That's fine. I get that. He's missing essential element. I think there's an asterisk around him with Paul Heyman. Having Paul Heyman around you takes you away from the GOAT conversation in wrestling to me.
00:25:14
Speaker
Having a good manager mic skill guy around you shows you how to it. Okay, no, I agree with that. no no, no, I'm not saying he's a GOAT as in one of the best ever. Yeah, you have to have... all but No, I don't think so either because, well, he's got to work on his promos. He had a good promo, a decent promo, not good, a decent promo the other night.
00:25:34
Speaker
It was fiery. He had a hater, but I don't know. He has to be able to continue that and who's going write for him. I mean, I don't think he's gonna be able to write. i mean I mean, I don't know. We'll see. He has to get better in the game.
00:25:45
Speaker
But I do think he will be big. Shout out to Shane Peach. We missed you last night. Would you fall asleep after taking a gummy? You bum. He says, my WrestleMania heartache is we get the return of Vince McMahon.
00:25:58
Speaker
They've been bringing him up a lot lately. The Pat McAfee's revealed that made no sense, especially since on the phone, Randy Orton said there's more than one royal family. And again, Vince has been brought up two or three times the last few weeks. And they brought Stephanie's going to be inducted into Hall of Fame.
00:26:13
Speaker
so i mean maybe he's coming back to induct his daughter into the hall of fame they brought brock lesnar back at this point why not bring vince back it's not like you're making the brand worse you already look like shit by bringing brock back when they were both uh both uh allegedly assaulted that lady both in that damn thing yeah vince should already be back uh and that's not Yeah, I agree. I agree.
00:26:38
Speaker
No, he he meant hot take instead of heartache is what he meant. Hot take. My hot take is the return of Vince McMahon. That's what he meant. So he's not sad about it. He's saying that's his hot take. And i agree.
New York Baseball Team Struggles
00:26:47
Speaker
Again, with Stephanie McMahon being inducted into Hall of Fame, um with us getting further away from the allegations, although, yes, there's still a lawsuit, ah you know, people, especially with celebrities, as we see in culture all the time,
00:27:01
Speaker
celebrities get passes a lot of times that most people would not get because we enjoy their craft or whatever it is they do that uh we allow them to get away with these sorts of things and vince mcmahon is one of them he was the builder of wwe we would have not have professional wrestling where it is today if it wasn't for vincent kennedy mcmahon jr let's get that completely correct right now that being said We also have to look at the devil in the details. And yes, Vince McMahon may be the top one or two and most important people in where professional wrestling is today.
00:27:41
Speaker
But also, allegedly, he did some pretty horrible, horrendous things that most people would never even think about doing. I agree.
00:27:53
Speaker
Is that accurate? Is that an accurate assessment? I agree. I think you got it perfectly on the dot. All right, cool. Well, hey, Peach, we're glad you tuned in because you're going to like this topic.
00:28:04
Speaker
Up next, we got Alexander. Oh, but wrong one. I did that again. Damn it. I keep doing that. Get out of the way, you bum. ah Alexander, come on.
00:28:15
Speaker
Work with me. Why is this shit so against me? ah Alexander Ovechkin says that he may or may not retire, and the fans are calling for one more year. He even went to Columbus and played a game, and their fans were cheering for one more year.
00:28:35
Speaker
So no doubt Ovi is a legend in this game. He is one of the greatest players of all time. No doubt about it. Now the scoring leader after surpassing Wayne Gretzky last year for the best
Episode Wrap-Up and Future Teasers
00:28:52
Speaker
scorer in NHL history. He's been around a long, long time, over 20 years. I know Shane Peacher is the biggest Ovechkin fan and I know, even having an Ovi tattoo holding up the Stanley Cup. So I know he likes this topic and is obviously to choose Ovi.
00:29:08
Speaker
Jake, who do you have as your NHL all-time hockey goat, Wayne Gretzky or Alex Ovechkin? I'm taking Alex, and let me tell you why. Oh, come on. This is bullshit.
00:29:20
Speaker
He has the longevity. Not only that, if he stays another year, he will surpass overall with goals as as well. Not only that, his assists are not – they're half. I'll give you that. They're half.
00:29:35
Speaker
They're half of it. But I'm telling you right now, the one thing that Alex does is he has power play goals. He has more power play goals than even Gretzky has. That's the end. at you doing your research on hockey. You're damn right. And let me tell you something about them power play goals. That's the hardest way to score. And he's doing it like nothing. It's true. Be honest with Gretzky played in an era. Wait a second.
00:30:01
Speaker
Wait a second. Gretzky played in an era. Gretzky played in an era where it wasn't that strong. I believe that players are better now, just like with Evolution.
00:30:11
Speaker
We have to understand this. Players get better over time. And Alex is playing with better players and against better players. Wayne got lucky to play, what was it, the late 80s? Come on, man.
00:30:25
Speaker
You know this too, Omar. You know this too. You know that Wayne... achieved for the the the poor play in hockey during the eighty s and 90s. Don't do that.
00:30:35
Speaker
Just because you went to chat GPT and asked him to give you the information you needed to argue you Alex Ovechkin versus Wayne Gretzky does not mean you know or your chat GPT knows what the hell it's talking about. First of all, you might want to prime your AI a little better because the power play is not the hardest, you big dummy. It's the easiest way to score because you have more players. You have five players while they have four.
00:31:07
Speaker
So it's the easiest way to score in hockey, not the hardest. So that's how I already know you don't know hockey. That's how already know you don't know what you're talking about. And I haven't even used this screen yet because it wasn't deserved.
00:31:20
Speaker
But you're going to get it right now. You've been totally obfuscated.
00:31:29
Speaker
That's a damn lie. Give me a reason why Wayne's great. Give me a reason why Wayne's better. Oh, oh don't worry. Don't worry. i am i' regular I'm going to break it down for you right now. Listen to this, my friend.
00:31:41
Speaker
I have one stat that I can break this down with you on. And there is no... refuting this statistic and it goes to what you said so i'd like to appreciate you for helping me out with my argument because you just made it so much easier for me when you said he only has half the number of assists did you know that you could take all of alex ovechkin's goals
00:32:12
Speaker
And by the way, he is the goal leader. He beat Gretzky last season. Again, they near the crew another correction for your bum ass that said he hadn't passed him yet. Again, get your AI right. um But he did. He had 894. I said he passed him.
00:32:27
Speaker
Oh, you said I thought you said he didn't pass him yet. Okay, yes, he did pass him last year. okay But either way, Alex Ovechkin, if you took all of his goals and all of his assists and you put it together, he still wouldn't have more assists than Wayne Gretzky.
00:32:43
Speaker
So, when you are looking at it and you're telling me that not only did he just barely... pass Gretzky as the greatest scorer of all time, but also that his goals and assists wouldn't even equal Rain Gretzky's assists by themselves, which by the way, is the most, um,
00:33:07
Speaker
Team oriented statistic, not like basketball assists. Hockey, it's hard to get assists. You are actually trying to facilitate a pass to your teammate that is going to help them score.
00:33:19
Speaker
Now, there are sometimes passes where you go to the length of the court. You're trying to make it seem like c assists are tougher than making the goal itself. Don't do that, Omar. Well, I am trying to say that not only is he an amazing team player, but he's also way better than Ovechkin with my stat that I just gave you.
00:33:34
Speaker
Also, I am not going to let you sit here and besmirch the amazing name of Wayne Douglas Gretzky, okay?
00:33:45
Speaker
Wayne Gretzky is the best player of all time. Ovechkin just barely passed him. You want to know how many heart trophies for the MVP Ovechkin has? Can you guess? Or check your AI there.
00:33:57
Speaker
How many does he have? How many does Wayne have? Three, nine, nine MVP trophies to three MVP trophies. And not only that, my friend, but he also has four, I repeat, four Stanley Cup World Championships. And Ovechkin's bum ass only has one.
00:34:23
Speaker
So, for the second time in this argument, because you should never in your life do hockey again, you have been totally miserator. I used to play hockey a lot in my ninth through 12th grade year.
00:34:39
Speaker
Wait, did you really? They used to call me Hockey Jake. No, they did not. Yes, they did. They did not. can't wait for you they you They used to call you Hockey Jake. Is that what you just said?
00:34:53
Speaker
Yep. Hockey Jake. So Jake was a was a was the goat of his Little League team back in back in his Little League hockey days? I was 13 facing seven-year-olds, but I was kicking ass.
00:35:06
Speaker
I don't believe you. I don't believe you. I need ohmighty john i need some evidence. I don't believe there's an athletic bone in that bum-ass body of yours. You couldn't, you couldn't, you couldn't skate up, bro. You couldn't, you'd be falling like a baby deer, son. You couldn't, you
00:35:26
Speaker
Bro, I want to see you ice skate without roller skates, you bum. Because you'd be like a baby deer. You'd be like Bambi on ice skates, flailing all out like this, falling all over the ice skating ring, you bum. You can't ice skate. the hell out here, you hockey player. You ain't hockey player. You're a roller skater. The only thing you did was on four wheels at the roller skating rink while you was trying to hit on some cute little girls in your grade school class, but you couldn't because they thought your bum ass was ugly and you had Buck So I didn't want to talk to
00:36:02
Speaker
You better stop hating. I was kicking ass over there. Don't you dare. ah boy they used to watch me do all the moves. You be hating the moves where you do your wets and shit with your. It's all I had to do one more.
00:36:19
Speaker
What just hit him with the eye with but the do i little eyebrow little dan eyes do no eyebrow move. That's easy. touch either doesn dish
00:36:33
Speaker
Don't worry. We're going to have to ask Miss Montoya about that one because I have some belief that she would not agree with that sentiment. But we'll see about that at another time. She's always coming on to flame you. We haven't had her to flame you a long time. Maybe she should pop in. You better chill. Don't you dare do that.
00:36:54
Speaker
Don't you dare do that. Moving it on, before we get into our last topic of the day, I actually have a bonus topic that I wanted to bring up.
00:37:05
Speaker
And while we have a lot of people watching, I think this is a good time to bring it up. Earlier today, after I went to the gym as I normally do, I will go to the hot tub to sit in it and soak my knees after I do my workout. So...
00:37:19
Speaker
I did that. I went to the gym, hit the elliptical for about 20 minutes, and then I did some some some weights, and I went to the hot tub to sit the hot tub. I go in, i put my I put my headphones on on purpose because I don't want people trying to talk to me.
00:37:32
Speaker
um But the headphones that I wear to the to the the gym, because I don't really listen to music when I'm working out like that, I usually watch the TV they have, they don't actually work. So there's not actually music or anything playing, so I can hear everything.
00:37:45
Speaker
So I get in the hot tub. And it is a very weird looking couple. And I'm sorry to say that. I'm not trying to be an asshole. um But they were just weird looking. And what I mean by this is it looked like it was kind of like a Lolita situation.
00:38:04
Speaker
It looked like the guy was like probably 50. um Old like furry back. Just hair everywhere. Like he didn't give a fuck about himself. Very fat.
00:38:15
Speaker
And then this younger girl who looked like probably 20s probably something like that maybe either way i get into the hot tub and the first thing these fools do when i get in and maybe they were planning on doing this anyways but the first thing that happens is i look over out of the corner of my eye and he has her foot in his mouth sucking on her toes at the damn public pool in the same hot tub that I just, the hot tub that I just sat down in. This ain't Saturday Night night Live.
00:38:57
Speaker
This ain't no hot tub skit, okay? i don't need sucking of toes, all right? This is ridiculous. So I ask you, my friend, because you're in a couple and I don't get into relationships because they're bullshit.
00:39:10
Speaker
you're in a beautiful relationship i don't have a problem with pda but there is a point where some pda is too much pda and in my opinion on you real quick what's too much to you what's too much to you what's the limit you that's overboard to you what is the very limit that you are saying all right that's a little too much can they make out in front of you okay Yes, I'm fine with that.
00:39:39
Speaker
I'm okay with making it out. I've made out with girls in public. I don't mind that. that is a Now, if you're going overboard above that, maybe you're doing some sexual activities in the booth of an Applebee's. I cannot say whether I was ever there or not.
00:39:52
Speaker
um Or things of nature, yes, then maybe you're doing a little too much. um I think this is too much. This is way too much.
00:40:05
Speaker
Would you have an issue with me starting to, I guess, grab a little second base in front of you? Well, okay. Okay. So the the aforementioned Applebee's that I previously worked at.
00:40:21
Speaker
It was after hours the customers were not in there and me and one of the other workers got a little handsy in the booth, if you know what I mean. where There were other people in there. There were other workers and stuff. Could they see? what Yeah, they could see. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They could see. Yeah, the workers were cleaning the sections and stuff like that.
00:40:37
Speaker
Hey, we didn't do anything sexual. was just little- you're mad about this guy trying to make you pamper his girl? Well, it's a lot different when you're in front of your coworkers, the people that you're with every day that probably know that y'all are like hanging out anyways, versus people that you don't know that are in the middle of a public hot tub in the middle of a hotel.
00:40:56
Speaker
Do you believe got or not guys, but people in general, when they're the lesser of two evils, what I mean by that is the uglier of the group, they got to do a little more. They got to do a little more to pizzazz. I think he was definitely paying this girl.
00:41:12
Speaker
um uh some there was some kind of situation where he was like her sugar daddy or something like that so get this that's not even the end of the story so uh i thought okay they must be married or something i i saw her ring or finger she had a ring i was okay they must be married maybe something i don't know is going on all good whatever um Come to find out, no, I don't even know if they're dating.
00:41:36
Speaker
She goes on to tell him how she doesn't like public displays of affection in public because of some trauma she has from her childhood where she apparently, like I guess maybe her parents, I don't know, some trauma she had or something where she doesn't really like public displays of affection. I'm thinking to myself, why the hell you just put your foot in his damn mouth then? But that's aside from the fact. The other fact is,
00:42:00
Speaker
So they're not even married because like he doesn't even know this about her, which is something you would know if you've been with a girl for even more than like a month. But then I didn't even tell you the worst part about it.
00:42:13
Speaker
When they were putting, when, when she put his, her put, when the foot was in the mouth, right? It wasn't just that the toes were near the mouth. He bit onto the side of her toe and She said, you... Big toe little toe? Hold on. Big toe, little toe.
00:42:33
Speaker
Big toe. yeah Big toe. He popped a bunion with his teeth on her foot. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever seen. i wanted to throw up in the hot tub right then and there. I was so disgusted.
00:42:51
Speaker
Bro, that's too much, bro. Bro, she said that you popped it. It hurt. I said, oh my God, this is so gross, bro. I'll say this. I think PDA is fine all the way until you start unbuttoning or unhooking stuff down below the waist.
00:43:07
Speaker
then I believe it's gotten a little too far. But I'll be honest with you. I've had- you I can agree with that. You should not do that. Back in my single days driving with my friends, I've had a friend of mine in the back of my car while I was driving. Oh, of course. Yes. I think we all what have. You don't need to go any further. That's what I'm saying.
00:43:26
Speaker
What are we doing here, Omar? Come on. did shit One time I was in the back of Uber and this girl wanted me to like make like make out with her and some stuff started happening and I was like, whatever. Poor Uber guy.
00:43:39
Speaker
And this is so against another random guy. Poor Uber guy. Bro, I felt so bad for him. It wasn't my fault she jumped on me. I i i didn't want that. I wanted to wait till we got home. She was the one trying to like jump on me. Are you kidding me Omar? No, I'm not even joking.
00:43:54
Speaker
Not even joking. Not even joking. I'm being completely serious. I did not instigate this. She jumped on me in the back of the Uber and and i was I kept looking at the Uber driver. I felt so bad, dude. I felt so bad.
00:44:06
Speaker
Anyways, that's enough of that topic. How much is too much PDA in your eyes? Drop it in the comments after you let us know who is your NHL ghost because I forgot to ask you, Ovechkin or Gretzky. And also, I forgot to ask you to drop in the comments should the Raiders trade their number one pick. Hot Take Jake has 10 more minutes, so we got two subjects left.
00:44:27
Speaker
First of all, let's go to Hot Take Jake's Hot Take number two of the day. What is it, sir? All right, man. Well, we got the NFL draft, and I've been thinking, who's going to make the biggest move that day?
00:44:43
Speaker
Who do you think will make the biggest move? yeah And I've been thinking hard on this. Guys, I'm scared because this can make this team dramatically better.
00:44:54
Speaker
But I think they're going to make this move. I think the Patriots will grab A.J. Brown. in a trade in draft day. All right. Okay. That's not that hot of a take, but okay. You don't think that that's going to be hot?
00:45:08
Speaker
No, I think the Philadelphia Eagles are going to trade A.J. Brown, and I feel like the Patriots would be a good destination. Well, they need to go over there. With that being said, though. It's hot take. It's not as hot as maybe like the Cooper flag. Also, we will figure out and find out Diana Rossini is banging.
00:45:28
Speaker
ahha the head coach of the New England Patriots. yeah Look at Omar. so far You love it too,
00:45:42
Speaker
Omar, that's going to happen too, bro. We got a feeling. We got a feeling, don't we, Omar? Omar. You ain't getting me in trouble. i don't know what happened. As they said, there was there was nothing improp proper about those pictures. They are just friends and nothing happened. And I believe them that nothing happened.
00:46:05
Speaker
now? What are you saying? At one point in time, I thought she had his Inky Winky in her hand. Oh, i want So are you saying that Diana Rossini and Mike Rabel may have had too much PDA? Is that what you're saying? yeah yeah not only and I was so glad that you brought that PDA. Not only that, have you heard her videos of her talking bad about her marriage throughout the year? Dude, I heard a video about a very...
00:46:39
Speaker
short clip that I saw posted online after this, you know, conspiracy came out or whatever. This rumor came out and it was her talking on a radio show with another guy next to her who was not her husband.
00:46:55
Speaker
and was like talking about a phone call from her mom about how she should like divorce her husband and be with this other guy. and I'm like, you're telling this to like the whole world on like a podcast?
00:47:08
Speaker
Like, so I don't know. I don't pretend to know what's going on in that relationship. um And again, even if they do have something going on, it's not my business. Another one was her saying, well, I don't brag about my husband because he's not that attractive.
00:47:25
Speaker
oh i Like if I had an attractive person, I'd be bragging about them all day. Like, I mean, she was going crazy. You would have thought that. thought George and her had a bad ending. This girl is going crazy.
00:47:38
Speaker
so Could it be a yeah a situation like Kristi Noem where we find out that her husband's actually a cross-dresser and that's why she was ah banging her secretary on the plane? I would not be surprised if we find out something later. I bet you we find something out later. You watch, O'Ware. You watch. Bro, if you you call that now, that would be crazy, bro, if that happened. That'd crazy, bro.
00:48:03
Speaker
It was like that time at Applebee's. They caught you kissing that guy Mitch.
00:48:08
Speaker
You're a bitch. No, you're a bitch is what you are. I don't even know no Mitch. I ain't never fucking know no dude named Mitch. So get your ass the hell up out of here before I come to this screen and absolutely choke the shit out of you, okay? I'm gonna treat you like, you know what? Let me not get you canceled.
00:48:25
Speaker
I was about say something really wrong. I was about to say something really bad, and not going to do it. I'm not going do it. Let's move on to our last topic before I get it. It's canceled. Mets and Yankees, who's the biggest loser in New York? Both of these teams have gotten off to a horrendous, horrendous start, or at least not where they thought that they would be, right? Both teams expect to be – yeah World Series contenders this year.
00:48:53
Speaker
ah Both teams have top five payrolls in the major inmate in the major leagues, in major League Baseball. The Yankees stand at nine and eight, while my New York Metropolitans are a sad,
00:49:07
Speaker
Sad and horrible. 7-11 with seven losses in a row. But the Yankees are 3-7 in their last 10, so not much better. Hot take, Jake. We already know what side. Everybody that watches this show knows what who's going to take the side on which one here. They know I'm a Mets fan. They know you're a Yankees fan. So why are you not the biggest loser in New York?
00:49:30
Speaker
Because right now we are second in our division. Where are y'all at? last oh you are dead ass last i forgot as i was saying i do think the aol the al is way stronger this year i think we got a tough time with the rays orioles even the blue jays uh are still scary don't do that they're having a tough uh no you're right i picked the blue jays i picked the blue jays to go to the world series again So I'm telling you right now more than ever, Omar, that we'll be back up and running. Garrett Cole's coming back here soon. Don't you worry.
00:50:04
Speaker
I think we'll be fine and dandy. I think we need to get some better hitters. Our hitting is terrible right now. Unlike y'all, I don't know what's going on. Y'all bought Juan Soto. Y'all thought y'all practically stole something from us just to find out he was actually a trash can. So I don't know, bro. Congrats on grabbing our bust.
00:50:22
Speaker
gro Congrats. Y'all practically paid him the amount of money that we paid A-Rod. A-Rod gave us a title at least. didn't do shit for this guy. He's not giving y'all nothing. What the hell are you talking about, bro?
00:50:34
Speaker
First of all, he's only been with the team for one year. And if you may not remember, even after everybody shitted on him for having a bad first month of the season, he actually went on to finish...
00:50:49
Speaker
Thus ah third in MVP voting behind Shohei Otani and Kyle Schwarber. So first of all, shut that shit up. He hasn't been horrible. He's actually been amazing for us in his first year. You can't be third in MVP and be horrible. So stop that. Second of all, you obviously don't watch Mets games because you would know that Juan Soto has been injured this whole year. He got injured in our third game of the season and has been out with a domino restraint or whatever.
00:51:16
Speaker
Who wants to watch that trash? When he's playing, he's great! If I need to take a nap, I'll put the Mets on. Don't make me fall asleep fast. That's what I know.
00:51:26
Speaker
Yeah, you're damn right. Both teams have had a lot of problems. Like I said, the Yankees have just come off a five-game losing streak. The Mets are on a seven-game losing streak right now. um Look, there are problems for the Mets. Overall defense, the lineup, all of their acquisitions have not come to play. Bo Bichette, Marcus Simeon, Jorge Polanco off to horrible starts. Francisco Lindor.
00:51:52
Speaker
I love Francisco Lindor. He's my favorite player in Major League Baseball. He's also Puerto Rican from the same exact town as my family. So not, like ah you know, they always was going to be my favorite player. That being said, he has not played like the regular Lindor. He's lot of made a lot of mental mistakes. and done a lot of things that are not good for a veteran. He's cost us couple games here, and I'm not appreciative of it, but I know that he's also a veteran, and I know he loves his craft and he'll pop back. Also, the pitching staff.
00:52:19
Speaker
It's been a concern. Our pitchers have not been very great. We've had some injuries. That being said, the Yankees are no better. Their lineup overall sucks. 25th best in OPS in the major leagues. um Luis Gil, the rookie that they wanted to rely on, has barely stayed in the rotation. He's about to be out.
00:52:36
Speaker
The bottom of the order, again, year after year, the Yankees cannot shore up their depth. They got Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and a bunch of bozos. um And then you got... um And I don't even know. Is even Cody Bellinger there anymore? that I think he went to a different team this year. I don't even remember. He did. Either way, did did he did go to a different team. I thought about that right when I was saying i was like, wait he got traded. It doesn't matter.
00:53:02
Speaker
The Yankees are still bums. But you know what? On this one, Jake, ah have been totally eviscerated. Why?
00:53:14
Speaker
Why? Because, you know what, shut your mouth. Why have I been totally eviscerated? Because my Mets, they absolutely suck, y'all. We suck. Look, I don't care injuries or not.
00:53:25
Speaker
You got to be better than this. You went out to remake the team and went out and made all these pickups, got rid of dear Pete Alonzo. My polar bear is gone. I love you, Pete, I miss you. The polar bear is gone. yes said You let Edwin Diaz go to the Dodgers. Now he sucks for the Dodgers. Hasn't been pitching as good. You want to know why? Because he misses New York and doesn't want to be with the Dodgers, but we let him get away anyways. Why? Because we're the Mets and we suck.
00:53:53
Speaker
and we punish ourselves year in and year out with the trash franchise that we are and i thought that one day one year we might win a championship we might do something important but no even back in 2015 wildcard mars royals beat the hell out of us in the uh in the world series and we have never been the same since Honestly, the Yankees beat the shit out of us in the subway series back in 2000.
00:54:25
Speaker
ah Another bane of my existence. ah And I hate this franchise. Mets, you suck. Get it in fucking order before I become a Yankees fan. Just kidding. I could never become a skankies fan because I hate the skankies with all of my heart. Just like I hate this bum hot tank Jake.
00:54:47
Speaker
What are your thoughts today, my brother? Great ending. I know next week you got country boxing, but the week after, boy, are we going to have a lot to talk about. Draft, see what the Raiders end up doing. Hopefully, I'll make some moves.
00:55:01
Speaker
Playoffs will be well in ah in effect, guys. NBA playoffs are there. And we might see LeBron be called the GOAT after doing the unthinkable winning without Luka and his second best player, Austin Reeves.
00:55:15
Speaker
i' throwing How many times do we have to tell you this? Please go to tony the tony the chavan or Tony the trainer or Tony whoever he is now. Go see his page as he was hating on LeBron today. i know My bad Tony. i didn't mean to catch and catch you with a stray on that one. ah But he was posting about ah LeBron today. He was like, how many people bought a pair of LeBrons? And me and a bunch of others, absolutely zero. And by the way, LeBron can never be the GOAT because there was one person that went undefeated in the NBA Finals and is also the greatest basketball player of all time. And you will not besmirch the air greatness of Michael Jeffrey Jordan, you bum.
00:56:01
Speaker
Can't wait for two weeks. You better a you better be ready. no a all a All fairness, all realness. Have fun. Love you, brother. Can't wait for you to go have fun out there in Vegas. Go crazy.
00:56:13
Speaker
Go crazy. It's Vegas time. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Yes, We will be out in Vegas. Sports professor. That's right. It sure does. I've done a lot of things in Vegas that I will never tell anybody about. That being said, ah yes, except purpose. Sports professor will be with Wildcard Mar and Bobby G in Vegas.
