Jessie's anti-sandwich take is unhinged

[@balooga5689]

It’s truly complete insanity. His passion for his point in fact seems to underscore the importance of a quality bun, and how an overlooked bun can ruin a meal.

[@MrModernMarvels]

maybe Jesse has only eaten moldy bread?

[@Kratzie77]

I think there can be a take that the bun can make or break a sandwich/burger, as poor ones really take away from the overall experience. But! A fresh, tasty brioche ready to go for my burger? Yes. Absolutely. It enhances the experience for sure.

[@steverosen236]

I was on the fence with it until he hated on breakfast sandwiches. Too far.

[@futuresequence.]

Fried Chicken, meatballs, and a few other things i agree with him. But he's mostly wrong.

[@deltagolavista1]

All I could think about with Jesse’s no bread sandwich take is Peanut butter and jam smeared on plate and him scooping away at it.

[@xxdarebearxx2794]

I DONT NEED YOUR BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@matthewg9467]

Jesse: This is a safe space for these hot takes Also Jesse like 10 minutes later: hey Steve what is the punishment if you’re wrong about this

[@petercruz8615]

also @33:36 Adam: "Boo! Boo this man!"

[@ThatsBadTV]

Jesse was expecting an echo chamber

[@DiamondKingVideos]

Jesse is literally unwatchable geeez

[@MatthewRyanDP]

Jesse: Burgers are better than steak Also Jesse: I don’t need my meat sandwich just give me the meat

[@mossly9785]

And he's right

[@DavidSupina]

“I am sorry you are perfect and have never made a mistake in your life.” Thank you Jesse, I really needed that kind of validation today.

[@JesseBlakeSportsReport]

You're welcome!

[@JaziB]

Adam's Star Wars take is as mild as it gets lol

[@DownsyMB]

His hottest take was that ANYONE liked Last Jedi lol

[@lukesnape576]

Ikr, he stated it and I was like…. Umm ya? Who thinks the new Star Wars is good?

[@ezwelchman]

I was so mad at first, and then he said the NEW star wars trilogy. and I was like, "oh, ya of course it is lol"

[@ElhTil]

@@lukesnape576 bro you’d be surprised LMAO

[@steesenshiller6470]

36:01 Steve realizing Adam read his book is so wholesome! 😢

[@chemguy5468]

Jesse's hot take last year was take a piece of meat and put it between two slices of bread and this year it was take the meat from between the two pieces of bread and put it on the plate😂

[@mossly9785]

We call that character growth 😂

[@ShawnBlaque]

lmaoooo

[@crease87]

adam has accidentally guaranteed the pens the cup this year

[@anthonyfaccaro7118]

They brought in a dman that doesnt play d, to a team with no heart. If that team wins the cup, its rigged.

[@steesenshiller6470]

I thought Adam was gonna say Despicable Me is better than the OG trilogy and I was ready to fight. Then he said new trilogy and I felt every muscle in my body relax

[@kolebowyer3837]

I had the same reaction 😂

[@morris1345]

Jesse "I think we should stop being so critical of athletes!" Well it's been real guys, sorry to hear the Podcast is coming to an end 🤣 I don't think Jesse thought this one through very much considering it is literally how he makes his living being critical of athletes and organizations.

[@kylegoolab]

He didn't say we can't criticize them. I felt it was more directed at the guys who will attack a players whole family on Twitter over a turnover.

[@tiboudmarde3996]

​@@kylegoolab Rewriting what he said 100%.

[@ClaymanV]

adam has more hot takes during a normal podcast than he does here lol

[@tristanjames6134]

I’m so happy that Jesse has all the time in the world to sit down with a fork and knife and eat the contents hot his sandwich or burger on a plate. I will continue to eat my sandwich/burger with the thing that makes it convenient to eat on the go, which was the whole point of the bread to begin with on said sandwich/burger

[@Jessperado]

I said "wtf?" like 12 times. Well done, gentlemen. Hot takes indeed.

[@nickfiacco1179]

Adam’s Star Wars take is great. There’s 6 Star Wars movies and that’s that. Episodes 1-6

[@ShawnBlaque]

100% accurate

[@Kratzie77]

Re bread: We absolutely cannot lump generic North American grocery store bread in the same category as fresh, homemade bread products. The non processed stuff is sooo good!

[@richardenriquez8449]

“Fried chicken is much healthier.” Well done, Steve Dangle. I haven’t laughed that hard since John Candy was cutting his teeth on SCTV.

[@GeorgeS_4729]

Jesse's take on going to the store is 100% correct and I'm so glad it's being said. But I would even go further and say that I've done a full 360 on brands. It used to be that having a certain well-known logo on a product inflated the price far beyond any increase in product quality. Now, I will not buy a product that is not made by a company I know, simply due to the sheer volume of cheap knockoffs that have been allowed to have legitimacy on sites like Amazon or some "less discerning" retailers.

[@adamstewart9104]

You mean you did a 180. Doing a 360 means you'd end up facing the same direction.

[@anthonyricher]

Adam's Penguins take is absolutely bang on perfect.

[@ZachAndCheese]

I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR FOR THIS EPISODE LET'S GO

[@A.Zivkovic]

Must've been a long 5 days

[@ZachAndCheese]

​@@A.Zivkovic got me lol. really meant since Hottakeapalooza 1

[@harrycchambers]

Steve thought of a LITERAL hot take 😂

[@shaynehyde3347]

When are we talking about hockey again? There is alot going on this week.

[@dankauffman3456]

I have been laughing for a solid hour at Steve's "Ass-Ripper 3000" hot peppers line.

[@truanger16]

My favorite episode!!

[@gilgalad6231]

Adam with the correct Star Wars take.

[@NicoCdawg]

My hot take is that if you say that despicable me trilogy is better than the sequel trilogy you can arguably say that about the prequels too.

[@gilgalad6231]

@@NicoCdawgwell, lets not get carried away. The prequels are not as good as the OT, but the prequels are still good. Better than Despicable Me trilogy.

[@NicoCdawg]

@@gilgalad6231 personally quality wise I just don't think so, while I do enjoy the prequels ( despite it's many many flaws) 2-3 movies were not good imo, only ROTS really carried the entire thing.

[@gilgalad6231]

@@NicoCdawgROTS, podracer scene, and the duel of fates. So like 1.5 movies. But, I accept your point.

[@NicoCdawg]

@@gilgalad6231 exactly, some highlights but mostly lows. However as a star wars fan I still love watching those films flaws and all. I honestly think the sequels will be looked at more fondly when the current Gen gets older like the prequels were, but I guess we'll see

[@lakessbm]

Eggplant is delicious when done right. I am a defender of the eggplant.

[@redheron4321]

Eggplant lovers unite!

[@killerfrenchy]

43:50 Steve's hot take should have just been that no goalie should ever be paid more than 12% of the cap rather than a bet about what will actually happen.

[@TrAvi5link]

Steve is co-CEO and couldn't be bothered to have his hot takes prepared before hand. What a life to live

[@bradb8260]

I haven't listened to the pod in like 6 years and I'm glad this is how I come back

[@jackersss147]

"We don't need hotter peppers" was not a take I expected and it actually made me laugh out loud. And it's correct.

[@graemeseidel2887]

wow i think this the most fired ive ever seen jesse i love it lol

[@cronoros]

Wouldn't you catch bees with Nectar? They make the honey themselves, with the nectar they collect 🤓

[@henryptack8471]

Online versus store ordering really depends on the product in question & the brands involved. If I can order the exact same item from the exact same brand online & receive a better deal/sale, often the case, I will do that 100/100 times

[@Anthony-wp6yu]

I loved Steve’s last take! We all need to be more positive and have a better outlook on life 👏🏻

[@djentleman7]

Very profound last words here though. You can choose to take steps to bettering the situation, or you can spend the rest of your life going argg look at that! . So many things in the world obviously need this to happen without killing each other.

[@monkeysbmean]

Been trying to buy tickets to this Kingston thing and keep getting “oops we’re having technical difficulties” on checkout every time. Been 2 weeks.

[@haveadrumbeat]

Bruh here in brazil we have “open sandwiches”, they’re burgers or sandwiches that are served on a plate. Usually they do have the bun but you could just not eat it. Usually eaten with fork and knife too.

[@chumplet8947]

To Jesse: Sandwiches were invented to be a portable food. If you have to put the delicious on a plate and eat it with a knife and fork, it is no longer portable. I love and miss all you guys because I'm not on The Bad Place anymore; I hope to see you more on the Threads and/or Bluesky! Discord is great but my old lady joints get sore wandering around in there lol

[@LolCobra]

Had me at the sunny reference 0:26

[@magnussio4328]

Jesse's online ordering take comes from the fact that he lives in a major metropolitan. I live in Newfoundland and mostly order stuff you can't buy in store, or can for 3 or 4 times the price.

[@DanoFSmith-yc9tg]

The bread is to keep you clean while you enjoy it quickly, on the go.

[@numtwelve12]

I am so here for Jesse’s first hot take!! Yes!!!

[@HeWhoRoamsAimlessly]

Signing in for Adam's bangers

[@misschrysalis]

Steve's brief and random Seinfeld impression was fabulous, as is his Daneyko impression. I'd like to see more of this!

[@eyezac11]

adam you’re honestly definitely definitely in the right for the star wars take and it’s not even close

[@brettmoore590]

Jesse's new favourite word: chastised

[@deecoy1201]

explaining the Minions is tough

[@ADragonNamedSpyro]

Steve should use his platform to support Jesse's " support the athletes take " Encourage the fans to support struggling leaf players

[@fitzhuu]

I'm not even through the ep yet and I'm already losing it at the pepper take. AI peppers.

[@lebutzki]

I work in retail, I not only judge all kids, but all parents as well. And I REALLY judge the parents who are buying multiple bottles of wine at 9:15 in the morning with their kids lol

[@Jersh.]

I actually think Adam has a big brain take on the dubas/pens scenario. Karlsson represents the ideal player for this gambit - he’s got all-time talent, but has been sucking for a few years. His form going in either direction is entirely believable and Dubas can pin a large part of the fortunes of the team on the outcome of that deal.

[@morris1345]

I don't think that is wrong - but it isn't remotely a hot take that Dubas is doing something extremely obvious and reasonable that every other GM would do. No GM is going all-in on a team as old and bad as the Penguins, and Dubas never said he was going to sell the entire farm to try and make a non-cup team a stanley cup team, there's just no hot take there whatsoever lol.

[@Jersh.]

@@morris1345 agreed. Karlsson is smoke and mirrors, getting the reigning Norris winner makes it look like they’re trying to win now but he’s also a super useful bargaining chip if Dubas blows up the team and retains half of his salary for a stack of picks.

[@TrAvi5link]

Jesse is also right on Adam's parenting take. Lol we will see how much the exponential happiness grows when his daughter is a teenager

[@Bizbappo7171]

I love that penguins take lmfao. I honestly think Adam is right

[@chumplet8947]

To Adam: Sure, at 4 years old, it gets easier, but WAIT FOR PUBERTY. Then it's another 10 years of your kid challenging your every move. Everything you say is a hot take. Then they grow up, go out on their own, and during a 3 hour phone call, your daughter says, "Yanno what, Mom? Now I understand. All of it." And they don't even have kids!

[@MrHyde2k]

Jesse learning in Hot takes about a Salisbury steak!!

[@connormccreadie9111]

Bro Jesse, is he rage baiting??? 😂😂😂

[@jordanmemonster]

Steve’s hot pepper hot take is 10/10

[@Chillin24Seven]

I’m with Steve. No more super hot peppers. I had wings the other night so hot my ears were sweating.

[@alemar1122]

@adam the Vileda deluxe... I LOVE that toilet brush... you can even save some extra money by setting it up as a recurring subscription. you should be changing out your brush every 4-6 months anyways because of it getting "used"... so why not save 5-10%?

[@redheron4321]

I think Steve missed a pretty good argument regarding his goalie take in also mentioning that goalies, for the most part, are not consistent enough to warrant such a high contract. Goalies that can put up great numbers year after year are immensely rare these days. Seems to me like that should factor in a lot when assessing contract value. The unpredictability of goaltending is just too high for a team to commit that much money to one player.

[@emilyruzicka973]

"We don't need hotter peppers" as someone who doesn't like super spicy stuff, thank you!!

[@bareknucklerc5069]

Is it irony that the hot pepper take was the least hot take?

[@aidandunne5978]

Ive been on the "Dubas is gonna try everything so when it fails he still looks good" train since the moment he signed there. The Pens have new ownership who explicitly have stated "we didnt buy this to be bad". So he's gonna go out, get what should be a bunch of "big names" so that when the pens still suck he can go to the owners who arent that hockey savy and say "see, I tried! This group is just cooked", and they will agree with him and let him do what he actually wants

[@shaunmcdonald2474]

A friend of mine had a tradition years ago of having a McDonald’s pounder once a year. That’s a quadruple quarter pounder. One year he was doing the Atkins diet. His annual pounder fit the diet so long as he ordered it without the bun. It was outrageously greasy.

[@CraftsWithCrafts]

I personally think "Crotch Goblin" or "Sex Participation Trophy" is HILARIOUS - I certainly can't look down on anyone that has had children, it just wasn't in the cards for me.

[@stantheman0091]

When do the regular episodes return

[@PoopdeckPatty]

Heavily agree with Steve’s last take. It will genuinely change your life for the better, not to make it sound easy, because it’s not that simple, life never is, but making those changes for yourself are a huge benefit for your mental health.

[@deecoy1201]

Dubus is the Vector of the NHL

[@DemonHunterMOG]

I understand what Jesse is saying, but when you drop 300+ dollars for crap seats, not including food, gas and plausible childcare, a close loss seldom causes booing. It's when you can see your team get blown out that causes boo birds.

[@rickyma3189]

1:00:06 Adam do it, you make good money, treat yourself to an awesome $400+ Lego set, you won't regret it. The building techniques have evolved significantly since you were a kid.

[@Dummunky]

To Jessies point about not being negative towards players, look at trea turner last year. He was having an awful season and then the Phillies fan gave him a random standing ovation and it turned his season around. He even came out and said that they saved his season

[@HandsomeDanVacationRentals]

700 subs away from 100k as I write this. Congrats SDPN!

[@krisp2344]

Jesse is correct with the no bread take. A&W will wrap a burger in lettuce instead of between a bun, so it's still handheld.

[@rockz-n-shockzindoorrcpark5220]

It’s ironic how Jessie’s hot take is exactly how the coaching staff treats the leafs players and how’s that working out for us leaf’s fans and the team?

[@DoctorLexus-4President]

Are these still pre recorded stuff from weeks ago?

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

For years now, when I make sandwiches they're Norwegian style with just one piece of bread and lots of stuff that isn't bread on top of them.

[@HandsomeDanVacationRentals]

Having worked at McDonalds 20 years ago I can confirm that the plated option was, and is, a thing….but know that if you order it every person from the order taker to the person making it to the person handing it to you hates you to their very soul. ;)

Knowledge: The bar is, does this make it into the history books - or at least into a quality hardcover book. Save an actual newspaper and compare it to one a year later. Nothing has changed. So. Consume what makes you happy. Information, peppers, breadless food, parenthood, whatever. Try to make the best decisions you can. Try to be the best person you can. Try to enjoy life. All that is really important is that you try.

[@mikefingbond3888]

BACK AT IT!!! LETS GOOOO!!!! Eggplant has been a part of Italian cuisine for centuries, but its status as a staple in Italian food became more pronounced in the Southern regions of Italy over time. Historically, eggplant is believed to have been introduced to Italy from India and the Middle East during the Middle Ages. In Southern Italian cooking, particularly in regions like Sicily, Calabria, and Campania, eggplant has long been a fundamental ingredient in various traditional dishes. Dishes like Caponata (a Sicilian eggplant dish), Eggplant Parmesan (Melanzane alla Parmigiana), Pasta alla Norma, and many others showcase the versatility of eggplant in Italian cuisine. However, the widespread adoption of eggplant dishes as a staple across Italy happened gradually over the centuries, and its popularity grew as different regions incorporated it into their local cuisines. Today, eggplant remains a key ingredient in many beloved Italian recipes, contributing to the rich flavors and diversity of traditional Italian cooking.

[@XxHarounXx]

Poor planning. Leafs had multiple games and you are still running prerecorded episodes

[@ericwilliams1845]

I’m with Jesse a little on the athletes thing. I don’t think I’d ever boo a player for a bad game. A team sure like if the leafs lose 9-3 I’m booing them all in the moment. But they should know om coming back next game full cheer

[@simonlaramee403]

Yeah a goalie might play only 45-55 games a season but they are on the ice 60 minutes per games. A goalie who play 45 games will be on the ice for 2700 minutes per season. A player who play all 82 games and spend 24 minutes on the ice (so 1rst pairing defensemen and superstars forwards) will be on the ice for about 1980 minutes. Why shouldnt goalie makes the same amount of money than a player?

[@mattmcfadden5847]

Adam's biggest hot take is that the meat mcdonald's uses is good.
