Howdy folks. It's Mike Ryan. You know, the Levitard show and Miller Lite go way back pretty much. I want to say like 95% of our existence we've been partnered with Miller Lite and we believe in Miller Lite. They believe in us. It's great to have a partner with a product you truly love. That's me with Miller Lite. I love Miller Lite, always have. In fact, I consider myself a bit of a Miller Time mvp. The the friend who says they've got it, I'll pick the spot, I'll throw the cooler in the trunk, bring some Miller Lite, and suddenly what was supposed to be a couple of hours turns into a whole afternoon. That's me, the Miller Time mvp. And it's great for summer. Hangs cools the body down. That beautiful white can.

[C]

That's right.

[B]

That's wrong.

[A]

It is wrong. It's Thursday. Thunder is presented by DraftKings Sports Sports DraftKings.

[D]

The Crown is yours.

[B]

Juju.

[D]

Go ahead against the Thunder. Get them together, right? I love it, man. Thursday Thunder. We back, man. The W is back and so are we, man. First leg, I'm going with Marina Money Mabry for three rebounds tonight, y'. All. Y' all think little sis ain't finna get three rebounds? You out your mind? Next leg, the Windy City hailing Sid the Kid AKA Sydney the Kidney Taylor for over two threes tonight, man. Come on, at least two threes. Scooby snacks for sis and last leg. Come on, man. I'm going with the biggest, the baddest duck of them all, Sabrina Unescu. For over three threes tonight, man. Let's get this money tonight, fellas.

[E]

That's a duck, man.

[F]

Juju is scouring the W, and you can find his work on Goodfellow with Trista, but he's looking for market inefficiencies. He's trying to find the places where people aren't paying attention, and he's been pretty good at this. He gets a lot of these, right? Because he is scouring the market. He doesn't actually want to disappoint you. Before we get to juju, having to defend Bill's jerseys against the HA because Josh Allen is doing the same thing. But I think juju is one of the haters. And before we get to the polls as well, I wanted to ask Amin real quick, what was your update on theme songs from yesterday that you thought we didn't get to that we needed to get to because we left some meat on the bone there?

[E]

So first of all, thank you to the countless DMs, texts, emails, carrier pigeons I received from people telling me you

[F]

guys forgot about this.

[E]

And people I haven't heard from in years. I got Jared Greenberg hitting me up like. I'm like, I haven't heard from you in years, man. And Garrett Greenberg.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

No, no, no. Turner sideline reporter, Turner sports. Yeah. So who are you thinking of now? I have a confession. I have a confession.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

All right.

[E]

A lot of these songs that I was bumping up on the list were like, very popular, famous samples that were sampled in popular rap songs, right? Cameron had the Magnum PI One. Busta Rhymes had the Knight Rider one. So I'm like, I was cheating a little bit with some of these, right? But then. And I thought to myself, is that why I'm holding them in a high regard than Gilligan's Isle, right? But then juju, watch this. I found out that there was a very, very popular song that sampled Gilligan's Island. You guys know what song it is? Dan won't know because he's not cool like that.

[D]

Gator boots, Gucci suit got no job but I stay fly that's Gilligan's Isle. Can't pay my rent cause all my money spent and that's okay.

[E]

How much gas do I have in my tank?

[D]

Got a quarter tank of gas and

[A]

what kind of car in my new E class.

[E]

But, guys, that's Gilligan's Island. Y' all knew that.

[F]

I thought the Dan won't know was Unnecessary There.

[E]

You know what I thought was unnecessary?

[F]

Those gator boots didn't feel like it was necessary.

[E]

You know what I thought was unnecessary? You taking out Howie Mandel, Mark Ruffalo, Steve Buscemi, Tony Romo all in one show.

[F]

Before we get to juju, Zaz, can you just please tell us and I'm sorry I didn't have more time to get to this. Why are you fighting with your wife?

[C]

Oh, I mean, it's not a fight, you know, because you refuse to do

[F]

something she wants to do, right?

[C]

I ruled an iron fist, so it's not a fight. Okay. But my wife, you know, she. She loves. We go to concerts or, you know, we like getting tickets and doing fun stuff. And we're sitting on the couch last night, a very uncomfortable couch in the Zazlow Mansion family room, and she says, hey, do you want to go see Cirque du Soleil? And, like, we've seen Cirque many times, right? Haven't been in a while, though.

[A]

So much that you call it Cirque?

[C]

We've seen it many times. So it says, do you want to go see Cirque du Sole? I'm like, no.

[F]

And.

[C]

But I said, it's a finely. Like that. Again, I ruled iron Fist. And. And she's like, why? I said, I just don't want to go. And she. She beat me down. Beat me down like she wants an explanation. And finally, I just owned up to her. I said to her, go. Because I don't understand the story. Like, I just sit there. I'm confused. I don't know what the hell's going on. So I don't want to go to Cirque.

[E]

There's a story in Cirque du Soleil.

[C]

I mean, that's what. That's what they tell me. I'm just sitting there all confused and shit.

[A]

They walk in a rooms, like, whoa, where am I? Yeah, I can't follow along the story's confusion. Everybody's always confused in these things. What are you guys looking at? That's how every circle.

[D]

It's confusing.

[A]

What are you confused by?

[C]

Someone's always. Someone's always in peril. If someone's in so much peril, how about we do less flips and figure out a situation?

[A]

Then the people come over and, like, take you by the hand, and they're doing. They don't help either.

[C]

Someone's getting kidnapped blindly. How?

[A]

Less ring tossed, Enchanted somehow.

[D]

Zaz, I got a question. Is that the same Zaslow mansion that's featuring the Brad Williams couch. Listen to his podcast height and Babble and see him on tour. The couch brought to you by Brad Williams.

[C]

No, I mean, I don't have that couch yet. Listen to Brad's podcast, though. We.

[F]

I'm embarrassed that no one in our audience has bought this beggar a couch yet.

[D]

Like, somebody get these beggars out of here. Whoa.

[E]

Get what out of here?

[A]

I'm not gonna do that thing. I mean, he knows the name of the Tom Cruise movie. I know he does.

[F]

Get Zaslow a couch. Somebody just buy him a couch so he can stop using this platform to beg for a couch. You're pathetic.

[D]

Stop it.

[C]

That movie called Diggler.

[F]

It's the cheap. It's the cheapest form of radio career there. Two decades begging our audience for a couch. Knock it off before we get juju. And I'm sorry to do this to you. There was a top five list evidently associated with the means theme song update.

[E]

No, not associated with the theme song update, but top five list answering Mike's effortless cool list that seemed to be completely out of the.

[A]

It was white. Yeah, it was white.

[E]

Very, very Caucasian.

[A]

But there was a woman on it, so I get points.

[E]

Well, guess what? I've got an answer to that list. And this. Here we go. Ola. Bernie Casey as Jack Slade. And I'm going to get you, sucker. Number five, Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57. Always, always been on black. Look. Number four, Billy Dee Williams in Empire Strikes Back. Number three, Pam Grier in Foxy Brown.

[A]

I see what you did, Foxy. Appreciate your work.

[E]

Number two, Denzel Washington in Training Day.

[B]

Easy.

[E]

And the number one effortlessly cool person in movie history, Blair Underwood in Crush Groove.

[F]

Put it on the poll. Was Blair Underwood in Crush Groo. Groove. The most effortlessly cool performance in the history of cinema. Much different list than Mike's list. Different perspective. Juju, how do you feel about the controversy that has Josh Allen defending the jerseys of the Bills? The new jerseys of the Bills against the haters?

[D]

Look, man, my brother Josh, man, he living so such a up life. Him and Haley just had the baby. He just living life so well and so up that he don't realize how ass these jerseys are. He just like, oh, man, this is. This represents us. He's just saying whatever. And I love my brothers, Josh, but it did make me come up with a top five current most asses jerseys in all the sports. Top five right now for you.

[F]

How are we writing that? What's the word for the podcast description? Assest. A S, S, E, S T asses.

[E]

The most ass John Stockton jerseys.

[F]

That should feature an ass on them.

[D]

Yes. Oh, well, lie because they bought him out for no reason last year with Aaron Rodgers, Steelers and them damn goof troop yellow jerseys. Don't do it no more. Now strike 12. Also Oli, Milwaukee Bucks with the cream city going across the chest. Disgusting.

[E]

You think that's.

[D]

Bro? I'm not putting cream city across my chest ever. And last Oli, just the New Orleans Pelicans, man. It's just simply ass.

[E]

All of their jerseys, all of them. They can't get one right.

[F]

Should it feature a pelican's ass? Should. Instead of a pelican, should it feature

[A]

just small ass doing a big ass

[D]

Rider number five, the Tampa Bay Lightning TBL jerseys.

[F]

Looks amateur. Why does that look so amateur, bruh?

[D]

Because it is. It's amateur hour in Tampa Bay right now. Whoever made them jerseys, they're champions. Do a better job.

[F]

They are a symbol for strength in the sport. That's a terrible jersey.

[D]

Yep. Number four, the rollout of the LA Rams Teen Wolf edition jerseys. Wow. Look at my boy. It does look like no aura.

[C]

Good reference.

[D]

He is no aura body. Yeah, the white was a little better.

[E]

I know.

[A]

I was looking at my top five list.

[D]

Number three, the Charlotte Hornets. Mango, who is this team?

[F]

This ain't. This is not helping. Cannibal. This is not helping you.

[D]

They told him sit that way.

[F]

But look over your shoulder and. And let's make Grant William. We're going to make Grant Williams the star.

[E]

Grant Williams clearly looks like he doesn't want to be there. They're making me do this.

[A]

It's my inspiration. You ever see the girl with a pearl earring?

[D]

Number two, the Golden State warriors. Ups Brown Mother Truckers.

[F]

Those are bad.

[A]

And they shouldn't have done that to Draymond. They should have been anybody but Draymond doing that because he looks like a UPS driver

[F]

who's about to sneeze. Who's about to sneeze.

[D]

And the number one most asses jersey currently being worn, the Kansas City Royal City Connect jerseys.

[C]

You.

[F]

Yeah, it looks a bit.

[D]

What is that? It looks like those art is weak as hell.

[F]

Those ice cream dots. It looks like the imaging for those ice cream dots. Can you put Brown in a uniform and have it be an epic uniform?

[A]

Like, are there Cleveland Browns home set? The old school Padres, Brown.

[F]

Brown's tough though, right? You have to be a little.

[A]

Jim Brown was Oli. And it was just as a Cleveland Browns player, not in a movie role.

[F]

Yeah, before we get to the polls here, Juju, do you have any post show awards for anybody?

[D]

Oh, yes, sir, man. Start. I'm gonna kick this off with the wet sausage award, man. My brother, Pablo Torre, man. Salute to my brother, man. What a brave omission. My boy. Came on and let us know, right? Also, I like to give the best Zeus impression to my brother's ass, man.

[F]

Way to go. Congratulations.

[A]

That's how you do that.

[D]

I like to give the low blow award to my brother Amin El Hassan for that art or conversation snapping.

[A]

Yeah, Low blow.

[F]

[D]

[B]

[F]

[A]

It's tough to be in this corner. I said six words all day.

[F]

I'm sorry, Tony.

[D]

Just like Zaz the less annoying than Jeremy award. Less annoying than don't need no award. When you're that handsome, you don't need these awards.

[A]

You're a handsome guy.

[D]

Good job.

[F]

There is something deeply unfair about Pablo doing the amount of work he did on that story. And the only thing anyone remembers from his appearance on the show today is how much he likes a wet sausage.

[A]

Crazy.

[F]

What are the poll updates you have for us, Juju?

[D]

More insufferable. And I promise to God this has never happened on the history of our show. Dan Levitar or the Filio radio guy? Ophelio Philadelphia radio guy. 50 of the audience says Dan LeBatard. And 50 of the audience says the Philly radio guy. I love a wet sausage. Fatter Dan Lebatard or the Philadelphia Radio Guy? 52% of the audience says Dan Levitar. I love a wet sausage. Do you love a wet sausage? 72% of the audience says, no, they do not. I love a wet sausage. Did Nucky make you want to have a decanter? 65% of the audience says, yes, he did. I love a wet sausage. And last poll is Dan Wetzel, the heir to the Wetzel's pretzels empire. 75% of the audience says yes. And those are your poles. I love a wet sausage, Tony.

[F]

So just for the record, you got six words today, but those were the six I dominated.

[D]

Thank you. Good night, everybody.
