According to some listeners and pati na rin sa Pinoy Exchange members of Good Times With Mo thread, "worst, most boring, and a liar to boot" si Jake Roxas sa kanyang "40 Forbidden Questions."
The night before the Wednesday special edition ng weekday radio show ni Mo—with Mojo and Andi 9 sa Magic 89.9—na-announce na dalawang female stars ang maggi-guest, but they didn't announce the names para hindi raw ma-preempt. One posting sa nasabing PeX thread said that the guests would be Viva Hot Babes Andrea del Rosario and Jen Rosendahl. Jake Roxas, a former Viva talent from the TGIS days, took the hot seat instead.
Not known for humility, Jake excited listeners. Lalo na nang sa pag-upo pa lang, tinanong na niyang pabiro na bakit 40 questions daw, bakit hindi 72. Meaning, palaban siya. With some questions nga, bago sumagot si Jake, sasabihin niya agad na "marami"—meaning, he could give several names for a particular question.
Ngunit nang interview proper na, madalas na hindi agad nakakasagot si Jake kaya kinailangan pa ng commercial, traffic news update, and listeners' reactions.
Nagsimula pa rin sa mga easy questions ang tanong, although may bagong twist na na-introduce for Jake's appearance. Randomly selected from a hat (or a box) ngayon ang tanong, so kahit si Mo, hindi alam ang next question.
EASY QUESTIONS. Fortunately for Jake, the first several questions were easy, so madali siyang nakasagot. Puro mga kapwa Viva talents ang mga naisagot halos ni Jake.
Showbiz hottest mom para kay Jake si Dina Bonnevie.
Jake thinks na he slept with a fan way back in 1990, pero hindi niya maalala kung sino.
He hates the "kaplastikan sa showbiz." He cites ang ilang "teeny boppers daw ang image pretending to be good boys, pero hindi sa tunay na buhay." Jake opined dahil magaling ang mga managers nila.
Sa fruit and animal association, ihinalintulad ni Jake ang co-star niya sa Xerex na si Aubrey Miles sa isang bunny at sa isang carrot; si Alfred Vargas sa isang dog and a banana; ang co-TGIS star niyang si Onemig Bondoc sa isang pony and atis (dahil mabuto raw ito); at sina Cristy Fermin and Jobert Sucaldito sa dove (for peace, para magkabati na raw sila nina Mo).
Jake says he has never tried illegal drugs and he doesn't even smoke.
Ang fifth message sa cell phone ni Jake was from Henri, ang head researcher ng S-Files of GMA-7. The message was: "Good luck Jake, go 40!"
Sa umpisa, walang local man-crush si Jake dahil wala pa raw siyang nakikitang mas lalaki sa kanya, so he went for Brad Pitt. Later, he adds his co-basketball teammate na si Gene Padilla dahil nakakatawa raw kasi ang komedyante.
PLASTIC SURGERY. Nagpaligoy-ligoy rin si Jake sa tanong na "female celebrity who could admit having plastic surgery." Wala raw siyang alam na hindi pa nag-a-admit dahil kapag umamin ang mga artista, sikat sila.
Una niyang binanggit si Maui Taylor kung umamin na, then ang tatlong StarStruck girls na sina Yasmien Kurdi (he first pronounced it "Jasmine" so the hosts thought it was Jasmine Trias), Jennylyn Mercado, and Katrina Halili, and later—kahit hindi niya alam—si Regine Velasquez daw for a couple of parts siguro. Isinama niya rin si Alfred Vargas for the guy.
For Jake, GMA-7 is the better station, not just because he belongs there but because mahal daw nila ang mga artista nila kahit hindi nila contract talents ang kinukuha nila.
Isa sa mga "marami" na iniisip raw ni Jake ay para sa tanong na "local celebrity he dislikes working with." In the end, si Cogie Domingo ang isinagot ni Jake dahil five hours daw itong ma-late noon, pero hindi niya alam kung ganoon pa rin hanggang ngayon.
Dalawa pa lang ang nakaka-bed scene ni Jake sa pelikula, sina Andrea del Rosario at Elizabeth Oropesa. When asked to compare, Jake chose the hot mommy (La Oropesa).
As to the thing he's done to a fan, hindi naman daw masama, pero pinauwi niya ito dahil ayaw niya ng binabantayan siya.
Bali-balita niya lang, and copying names already mentioned (ito ang naging sagot noon ni Lolit Solis)—sina Deo Endrinal at Carlos Agassi ang tingin ni Jake na may manager-talent relationship.
Since never daw siyang nagkaroon ng showbiz girlfriend, walang naisagot si Jake sa tanong na three celebrities he tried flirting with who turned him down.
Si Ogie Diaz ang local reporter he dislikes—pero binawi rin niya ito. That was during TGIS days pa raw at ngayon ay friends na sila.
Jake says he has been offered money by somebody gay and the sky was the limit sa presyo sa kanya. Kung kahit daw 50 million pesos ang sinabi niya, papatusin ng gay pero siya ang umayaw dahil tumatalsik ang laway ng gay.
At this point, Mo reminds Jake that he has passed the score of Antoinette Taus. Jake comments na nakinig siya that time and he got bored.
"MARAMI." Isa pang "marami" ang binitiwan ni Jake, pero isang sagot lang din ang naibigay niya, sa tanong na "admit it, you're gay." Bibigyan pa man din sana ni Mo si Jake ng one point per answer but Jake only comes up with the name of Tim Yap.
Isang female caller ang tumawag kay Jake to remind him that he is just as boring as Toni kung kaya't binilisan ni Jake ang pagsagot.
The movie Jake regrets doing is Message Sent nila noon nina Uno and Alessandra de Rossi.
Late bloomer daw si Jake dahil he lost his virginity daw at the age of 17.
For him, the worst actor and actress are his two former Subic Bay co-stars sa IBC 13 na sina Troy Montero at Priscilla Almeda.
"Marami" rin daw ang masasabi niyang "most plastic person in showbiz," ngunit si Marvin Agustin lang ang naisagot ni Jake. Because raw nakakaloko ang mukha ni Marvin at magaling, but he doesn't explain kung saan ito magaling.
The worst thing he has done to an animal ay nang tinalian daw niya ng electrical tape ang isang palaka saka sinindihan. Until now, naku-konsensiya raw si Jake kapag naiisip yun. (Dapat lang!)
Bago masagot ni Jake ang 23rd question na worst dresser in showbiz, another caller comments na sana raw bumilis ang pagsagot ni Jake dahil he is worse raw than Hero Angeles. Madalas masabing si Hero ang worst guest so far ni DJ Mo. Sina Gwen Garci and German Moreno ang isinagot ni Jake na worst dressers.
The night before his interview daw ang the last time Jake gave himself pleasure.
Still another "marami" ni Jake pero isa rin lang ang naisagot ay sa question na pinakamayabang na tao sa showbiz. Sa huli, si Uno muli ang isinagot niya dahil kung dumating daw ito noon sa set ng TGIS, parang superstar daw ang dating.
One caller butts in to say Jake is lying sa lahat ng mga isinasagot niya.
Isang alak at ang Ellen's Cosmetics ang "worst billboard sa EDSA" para kay Jake.
Jake has never gotten daw into a fistfight with someone in showbiz dahil iniiwasan niya ito at hanggang pikunan lang ang nangyayari.
A male caller says Jake is indeed "the worst and the most boring guest and so slow sumagot." Naniniwala raw ito sa previous caller na puro kasinungalingan ang isinasagot ni Jake. Hindi na rin nakatiis si Jake na makipagsagutan sa caller na twice niyang tinawag na "bakla."
Mahabang explanation muna mula kay Jake bago niya nasagot ang "worst celebrity politician" question. Sa huli, si Isko Moreno raw at "mag-stay na lang muna sa posisyon niya at huwag nang mag-aspire for a higher one."
Para kay Jake, sina Patrick Garcia and Jennylyn Mercado ang celebrity couple who will not last dahil pareho raw silang "hot." Mainit raw si Jennylyn kaya maraming nanamantala at hot daw sa chicks si Patrick.
"Yes" and sagot ni Jake sa 30th question asking if has ever slept with someone famous.
After one commercial break and several support calls from the listeners, nag-tap out si Jake sa 31st question: "The name of the celebrity he slept with."
For the record, hindi alam ng manager ni Jake na si Leo Dominguez ang paggi-guest ng aktor.
