Transcript

[Mike]

Against the spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Go ahead, Mike.

[Juju]

Hey, give me that spread.

[Tony]

I've been talking about this Iowa Oregon game all week long now. I locked in at six and a half. It's now down to four and a half. Don't like it as much, but you know what? We still put a little sprinkle on the money line on the hot guys. I like Iowa here.

[Juju]

How's he still eating, Tony?

[Zaslow]

Eating a massive pizza. It's the biggest pizza I've ever seen in my life. What are you talking about, man?

[Greg]

You're like disgusting.

[Jeremy]

All right.

[Zaslow]

Tonight in the association a fun game out in Denver. Heat and Nuggets.

[Mike]

Hell yeah.

[Zaslow]

Very exciting game. You're gonna stay up for that game. You see everything. What do you say after that game or not?

[Greg]

I do see everything. Nine o' clock start 9:30.

[Zaslow]

I think.

[Greg]

I think it's nine. You're trying to get me to tune in late. That's not going to work. That means the game would end at 11:30 spread. I think I'm a stay up. I think I got it in me.

[Zaslow]

Hey, yo. Okay. I'm going to take your Miami Heat minus nine. Excuse me. Plus nine and a half up in Denver.

[Greg]

Hell yeah.

[Juju]

Altitude.

[Zaslow]

Altitude. I know it's going to be a lot. I know they've been having a lot of late games. I know that they've been playing a.

[Tony]

Lot of good games.

[Jeremy]

The biggest box.

[Zaslow]

But I trust in spoiler. I trust in the heat. Give me the +9 spread.

[Mike]

One of those spread.

[Juju]

That's against the spread.

[Brad]

This one more Nuggets tonight, huh?

[Juju]

My draft Kings so over. Nuggets crown is yours.

[Greg]

Give me that sp.

[Juju]

Hey, Juju. What's up, man? How surprised are you that Chris Cody either a didn't get to 99 or did get to 70. 70 is what's more impressive, bro.

[Mike]

I'm kind of surprised my boy didn't scarf down 250 because we all got an imagination when we are, you know what I mean, Intoxicated or having a great night, man, I bet y. I could do that. And I thought my boy could do more than seven. Ain't gonna lie.

[Greg]

You have another slice of pizza, Chris, you haven't eaten a couple minutes.

[Jeremy]

This is not easy, Juju. I was cooking for like the first 30 and then I was like.

[Mike]

It was crazy though, to see you get the. The baked chick fil a wings. That's a crazy choice, but. Hey, Brad.

[Juju]

Yeah, man. The bait baked. I. I would. I'D rather do whatever with the. You all right there, man? Yeah, I'm good. That was loud.

[Mike]

Oh, all right.

[Greg]

Hit the call button.

[Juju]

It didn't work. Second mic in the room. Sorry, dog. Really did you in? Yeah, look, Stan Van Gundy thought he could do more. I thought he could do more. Especially after he emptied out the tank. I thought he could got at least to 80, but you know, I think I did well. Juju, what caught your eye? From NFL trade deadline, man.

[Mike]

Salute to everybody. Buffalo Bills. My goodness gracious. Like we believe in ourselves a little too much for my liking, but the jets trading salsa way for two first round picks, bro. I think the jets got fleeced yet again. What? Not necessarily fleece, but like what are we doing if you. The jets salute. I understand the move, but as a matter of fact, I don't understand the move. I'm looking at Chris and I got the strategy, but yeah, but I don't understand it because if you draft a first round pick, what you hope that player turns into is Sauce Gardner no matter who you draft. And we not talking about the Indiana Colts, your mom and pops, Indiana coats. These coats are good. That draft pick might be number 27, 28. You feel me? And so I don't think that that's a good trade. And on top of that, what good is some draft picks when you got idiots doing the drafting?

[Juju]

That's a good.

[Mike]

They had the top draft pick. They could have had everybody they wanted, but they drafted Zach Wilson. So I don't trust them to make this, this, this, this move good. I don't.

[Juju]

I like I, I always think about that. If they're awful at drafting, does that make the deal bad? Because anyone else with a common at front office, that would be a good deal.

[Jeremy]

We would say just such an easy win for the jets front office today to be like, look what we got. But it's like you've done this before and we've seen you screw it up. So it's like, no, this is not the victory is not yet.

[Mike]

And also news flash, Joe Burrow ain't walking through that draft. Justin Jefferson ain't walking through that draft. You feel me? Bo Nicks ain't coming through the draft. This draft class is not the one to do this for, in my opinion. Now they may prove me wrong by drafting somebody that we don't see. But congratulations, you got some more picks. Your pick is like going to be number one your ass. I just, I don't understand it. Salute to the Colts though. Getting better and little sister Ursay got to know.

[Juju]

Would. So would you say the. The jets are the joker of the day?

[Mike]

Oh, yes. They most definitely. They. They a piece. They get a piece of this pie like on the old Nickelodeon show. They get a piece of the pie. But I got two more jokers of the day. First of all, UMass football playing the game last night. They were getting draw. I think they were getting beat like 35 to 2 or something like that. But one of their defensive bats got a taunting penalty and got kicked out of the game. Look at the scope. Come on now.

[Juju]

34 to 10.

[Mike]

How is he taunting exactly? Send him right where he needed to be to the locker room. Joker of the day. Also taking a piece of that Dylan Brooks. My goodness, my brother.

[Juju]

We didn't even play.

[Mike]

Did you, Rice in street clothes. A technical file during crunch time. They was trying to come back. The Suns, they. They were still down 10. His homeboy had to be like, nah, bro. He was talking to me.

[Juju]

That's a referee. Great teammate, right?

[Mike]

The referee said, no, he wasn't. Technical file in street clothes. Joker of the day. It goes to you too, my brother.

[Juju]

Oh, we haven't done this today, Zaz.

[Greg]

What?

[Juju]

You guys got to do an MVP check in?

[Mike]

Yeah. Yes. There we go. I need the MVP update from my brother Zaslow, man. Cause it's been a long week since we had that. The last update.

[Brad]

To me, the MVP is Chris. I mean, come on, a.

[Zaslow]

Be.

[Mike]

Of the day.

[Greg]

If we're talking about the MVP in the NBA so far this year. Better have a conversation about Shea Gilgis. Alexander ain't no the Oklahoma City Thunder. He had 30 last night. 30 points, 12 assists. You know about them Thunder?

[Juju]

I know about them Thunder.

[Greg]

All I'm saying is, if we're gonna talk mvp better be talking about Shay Gildas. Alexander.

[Zaslow]

I heard this. I think it was on the. The broadcast. He's got 80 consecutive games of 20 points.

[Juju]

20 more.

[Jeremy]

Isn't that at home?

[Juju]

No, no.

[Zaslow]

Overall, in every game the last 80 games, he's had more than 20.

[Greg]

That's why we got to have a conversation about Shay Gilda.

[Zaslow]

I think we have to have a conversation.

[Juju]

He's in the conversation bar and he's. He's got the biggest. He's got a section. He's inviting people.

[Brad]

It's bottle service.

[Juju]

Definitely bottle service.

[Zaslow]

They're bringing him stuff.

[Juju]

You don't even have to ask.

[Greg]

That's why I'm saying we got to have a conversation.

[Zaslow]

We got to talk about Tyrese Maxey.

[Juju]

Ok, Juju.

[Mike]

That's mine.

[Juju]

Who else you got in the conversation bar with us?

[Mike]

I mean, Victor with me. Llama man, like, he have his bad games are considered bad, but they're not bad games. I think he's gonna be this. This year's mvp.

[Brad]

I'm gonna talk about Pelo Larson.

[Juju]

Okay.

[Zaslow]

SGA doesn't have nine.

[Greg]

It's in a full game.

[Juju]

That's a good point. That's a good point.

[Brad]

I didn't like that.

[Zaslow]

I didn't like that stat line.

[Juju]

Mike. How's that? Jaime Haquez, Hot sauce.

[Brad]

Shout out. Heat Subculture.

[Zaslow]

Yeah, Heat Subculture.

[Brad]

My guy.

[Tony]

Mvp Arthur Duo.

[Juju]

You got a top five list for us?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, that song right there. Hey, we might need to put that on itunes. I don't know. I was feeling that one. Yeah, man, with the east coast, west coast beef going on between YouTube still going on east and west, right?

[Tony]

YouTube.

[Juju]

And Disney.

[Mike]

And Disney. It made me think because ESPN, guess what? I ain't paying for that. So it made me think of a top five. I'm paying for that, though. List.

[Juju]

That's great. Any old eyes, Juju?

[Mike]

No, no, Olis. Just straight gas.

[Juju]

Okay, here we go. Number five.

[Mike]

Number five, Delta Comfort. Plus, no matter what, bro, I'm paying for that because I'm 62 at 2:35. Now, them seats don't hit the same when you need that shoulder armrest. And then you got some brother sitting next to you in the middle. Same dude think he gonna take the armrest because he's in the middle. My body don't work like that. I need the comfort.

[Greg]

I'll tell you, man, I don't have a problem. I think the middle person deserves the armrest. But here's. Here's my issue. You getting the armrest rest does not mean that your elbow and your shoulder is on my side. You know, that's the part.

[Juju]

That's the plane. You can't break the right.

[Greg]

That's the part that bothers me.

[Brad]

But you need both breach. Come on.

[Juju]

You do.

[Mike]

But like.

[Juju]

But you don't break the plan.

[Zaslow]

You have a.

[Brad]

Like an invisible line like. Like the technology that you're looking for on the replay at home plate.

[Juju]

Exactly. Three dimensional. Yeah.

[Mike]

Zaz, hit it right on the head. You can have the armrest, bro. But I still need space, brother.

[Greg]

Come on, number four.

[Juju]

Number four.

[Mike]

If I'm at the fast food spot and I want the sandwich and I want the fries, go ahead and make it a combo, man. I'm paying for that shit.

[Greg]

Gotta get that drink.

[Juju]

Love that I mean, the drink is free at that point. That's all that's happening. You add the fries and the sandwich, the drink is free. Number three, juju.

[Mike]

Number three, commercial. Free Hulu.

[Juju]

You lost me there, brother. I'll watch all the ads as long as I get my free Hulu along with my Spotify premium that I had that deal for, like, old ass, man. 10 years. Like 20 now I've grandfathered in for life legacy.

[Tony]

That's one way to stick it to Disney.

[Juju]

Yeah, Watch all the Mads paying Spotify.

[Mike]

Right. Number two, Uber eats priority.

[Juju]

Oh, no, that's a racket. You know, if they actually were faster, I'd pay for it. But then I look at it, it's like. It's like five minutes. It's like, usually it's 15 to 25 now. We'll make it 10 to 20. I'm like, no guarantee.

[Brad]

No, Juju's right.

[Tony]

I don't know how it is where you're at, but priority means it goes straight to your house.

[Brad]

That's right.

[Tony]

And, oh, I need to have the pipe and hot food. I can't. I get so mad when I say, why are you taking my food to somebody else's house? No, it's just gonna get cold there.

[Juju]

I had one of them robot deliveries the other day. Terrible. Got distracted by Construction about 17 times.

[Greg]

You ever see the Uber driver is going somewhere else first before.

[Jeremy]

So annoying.

[Greg]

And then you send them a message goes, where are you going?

[Mike]

Yeah, I've done it. I've done that. That's the worst fear, the worst message to get. Your driver is on the way, but she has a few stops along this mysterious stop.

[Jeremy]

I've paid priority. Why did you make a left there? Why have you been stopped in that one spot for four minutes?

[Greg]

So I'm saying.

[Mike]

And the number one thing that I am paying for my no matter what, YouTube TV.

[Tony]

Wow.

[Mike]

West side, you picked a side.

[Jeremy]

But the Saturday, like the Saturday slate of football games is so sad without the ABC games.

[Juju]

Wow. Juju, update us on the polls real quick.

[Mike]

Yes, sir. We had one poll earlier today that I refused to put up because if things go bad, that would be a terrible poll to happen.

[Jeremy]

I agree with that.

[Juju]

Jeremy was the one that suggested it. Now he's like, what polls you're talking about?

[Jeremy]

I forgot about it.

[Brad]

But I stand behind it. That was a good poll, and I'd like to know how people felt.

[Mike]

Well, the. The poll was. I'll say it out loud. The poll was, who is gonna die today, Chris or Greg more likely to.

[Brad]

Die today, you know, because neither of them has to.

[Mike]

We don't need to put the root on my.

[Jeremy]

Still no word.

[Juju]

All right. Right.

[Mike]

First and last. First and last poll. Can you say that someone is in a better place if they haven't died? 51 of the audience says no, you cannot.

[Juju]

49 of y' all walking morbid polls today.

[Brad]

Closer.

[Juju]

Thanks a lot, Juju. It's pizza time for us.

[Mike]

Oh, pizza. Cowabunga, dude.

[Brad]

Pizza time. Pizza time.

[Tony]

I'm coming again, Elizabeth. Oh, Lord.
