  "[02:00] Juju: Well, I'm gonna take the Tigers plus one and a half versus the Pirates and Paul Skeens. Paul Skeens is great, doesn't get any run support.

• Dan adds technical details about the money line:

  "[02:22] Dan: I don't think that the way that you say it is that the Pirates are favored by a run a half. I think the way that you say it is that you bet them minus one and a half. I think the Pirates are probably in that game like minus 120 or something. What are they? Are they minus 130? We're gambling experts around."

[Show Host]

It'S time for against against the Spread. Against the Spread against the Spread against the Spread against the Spread is presented.

[Billy]

By Draftings Drag kings.

[Show Host]

The crown is yours, Billy. Go ahead. Against the spread against the Spread.

[Juju]

All right, this week on against the Spread. Today in fact, Jack Flaherty versus Paul Skeens, Tigers versus Pirates. The Pirates are favored by one and a half runs, minus one and a half.

[Billy]

The Pirates.

[Juju]

Paul Skeens, the talk of mlb, the hot shot, the golden boy with the golden arm. People love everything Paul Skeens. Chris in fact told us just last week that he wanted to see Paul Skeens have sex. Just himself against the spread.

[Dan]

He was for the spread.

[Show Host]

For the spread. For the spread.

[Juju]

Well, I'm gonna take the Tigers plus one and a half versus the Pirates and Paul Skeens. Paul Skeens is great, doesn't get any run support. So the idea of Paul Skeens winning by two runs even against the Tigers and Jack Flaherty, who's not as good as Paul Skins, just it seems like a lot.

[Show Host]

Or screwball. Screwball's good.

[Juju]

Tigers plus one and a half against the spread.

[Dan]

I don't think that the way that you say it is that the Pirates are favored by a run a half. I think the way that you say it is that you bet them minus one and a half. I think the Pirates are probably in that game like minus 120 or something. What are they? Are they minus 130? We're gambling experts around.

[Juju]

They are minus 132 on the money line.

[Dan]

Juju. Welcome, sir. We have a number of things to talk to you about. You were at the WNBA All Star game. How was that? Did you have fun?

[Billy]

Yes, sir. It was fantastic. It was Indianapolis but you would have thought this was Las Vegas, Nevada, Miami, Florida. Every single place was popping. The stud buds are the new Miami heaters. I picture myself as a pretty much a party starter. I walk in and it turns up. Not this weekend. Courtney Williams and Leticia Heideman. Every place they walked in, it went through the roof. As well as when they went to Diplo Set. And I. I agree. Diplo had a lot of going on. I got four words for Diplo. Big plut, whim, whammy. It'll shut it down every single time. Back to you, Dan.

[Dan]

What were the highlights of the weekend?

[Billy]

The highlights is just how the cities just gave the women the ultimate rollout from when you go to the airport, walk in the airport, plastered on every single inch of the airport, WNBA all star. The same way it was like for the men last year in Indianapolis. Every street you go down, the signage they got, every street named after each team building the big building, the biggest billboard I ever seen in my life. Caitlin Clark, Letter Cook, every. Everybody was bought in the entire city. And it just felt like if you're in the city, you know what you're here for this weekend.

[Dan]

I have a great remorse at seeing Jamel's husband and calling him an exterminator. Is there anything from the Jemele Hill segment that you wanted to chime in on?

[Billy]

Right. What was that? That I think a fine should be attached. Brothers walk by, you just assuming he was a damn exterminator.

[Dan]

I didn't even. I didn't even see that he was a brother. I saw the Scuba Tank.

[Greg]

Not the brother Scuba Tank.

[Billy]

Yeah. But I did ask her, is she dying on the heel of speakerphone public talking. And I, I agree with that as well. But I'm also willing to die on the Hill if you're an Uber driver and I get in your car, cut the call, cancel the car, get off your speakerphone with your wife. I'm sorry. Is a deal breaker. What about you, Tony?

[Show Host]

I had a guy pick us up for the flight to Vegas. I was early, and he picks us up, picks me up at like 7 in the morning. And he's been on a conversation already, and it's. And it's a Haitian guy, so he's speaking Creole. So I don't know what he's saying. I just know that he's talking to somebody because he's got his AirPods on. And for the entire ride, 45 minutes, he's not talking, but like. And then he would say, like, yeah, no, for sure. But in obviously In Creole, he would say something short, but it was like 45 minutes of whoever that other person was talking on the phone and him just listening. And I'm like, who has that long of a conversation at 7 o' clock in the morning?

[Dan]

Put it on the poll at Le Batard show. Does your Uber driver have to get the hell off the phone at Le Batard show? We had a lot of polls today. How about fan commentary? Juju, is there any fan commentary today that we need to hear? Any withering criticisms?

[Billy]

Yes. Vinay Suri from YouTube says Portnoy is there for the same reason that Samson gets two hours a day here. He negotiated it. I don't have. I don't have too much of a problem. I think you said that the Fox has been a dumpster over the past couple of years. I don't think it's been a dumpster. I just think the, the fans and the people who are watching has changed on them, folks, because.

[Dan]

No, no, I mean behind the scenes. I mean how it's run and everything going on behind the scenes there and how poorly programmed it is and how poorly led it is. But regardless. What did you think of the MRI accident we were talking about? Did you know that that was something actually happened to a human being? That they could die by getting stuck to the MRI by their gold chain?

[Billy]

Right. I didn't know. But when Greg mentioned that it was the brother's fault, I did a little deep dive. And apparently he was there for his wife. And when he was there trying to help his wife up, his chain got sucked into the machine.

[Greg]

Oh, my God.

[Billy]

And then that's how the accident happened.

[Dan]

Watch that. She had to write.

[Billy]

And they say she was screaming, turn the machine off. While it. It was in vain. It was more horrible than we imagined.

[Greg]

Oh, my go. I owe that man an apology posthumously.

[Billy]

Also social media.

[Greg]

Yeah, I just did.

[Juju]

Okay.

[Show Host]

That was it.

[Greg]

Yeah. When you say I owe somebody an apology, you have apologized.

[Dan]

It's never going to be you. Posthumously. Because you said you were going to live till 250 years.

[Greg]

Yeah. You know, that's the goal. Too high.

[Show Host]

Noah over here.

[Billy]

So. Yeah, too high as well. That's a good, good segue. Social media. To add on to the WNBA conversation they had earlier with Jamel. The people need to understand that next year starts off the $2.2 billion media rights deal. And at that 9%, it's a little crazy. As well as each of the three newest teams in the WNBA are paying a $250. $250 million fee to enter the league as well. So that 9%, although it's like you say, man, it had been taking losses for years now. So did the NBA. And 9% is ridiculous. So just more information on that.

[Dan]

It is less than 10%. It's inarguable. Your math is extraordinary. We'll. We'll get to the polls in just a second, but I didn't get to talk to you. Juju, did you have any thoughts on Shane Gillis, what he did at the SBS and where he went to. To a. To the joke that nobody's watching the wnba.

[Billy]

Okay. I thought it. Look to me personally, I had to disagree with you. It's like when I take a day off the show, my mentions go crazy for something you said. I thought it was hilarious, bruh. Like the entire set was hilarious to me. He straight. He told the line a couple times with the hey girl. And then with the wnba. I listened to him and Matt and Shane stuff. Right, right. Matt and Shane's secret podcast. So I knew who Brittany was as soon as they put the camera on her. So I was like, oh, no. But the crowd, that's just. He making a joke at the crowd. I knew y' all didn't know who NBA players.

[Dan]

No, that. That part was clever. Yeah, that part was clever.

[Billy]

Yeah, I think. But overall, I think comedians, we gotta judge them with a grain of salt. Like I say, I'm a comedian, so everything I say is don't take it serious ever. And I think we gotta take the same approach with Shane.

[Dan]

Instead of Joker of the Week, could you summon somewhere from the weekend a Player of the Week?

[Billy]

A man, big player. The playeristic, futuristic Player of the week. Man, I gotta give my boy some love. Pablo. Corey, man, he done turned the whole world on his head and he finding out some more stuff this week for y' all boys and next week for y' all girls and next week for y' all. Boy, I'm talking about everybody. North Carolina told him to sit down. Now the NFL boy, he making so many moves with that great metal art podcast. I gotta salute my brother is the player of the week.

[Dan]

What are you smiling about, Greg?

[Greg]

I mean, Scotty Scheffler would like a word, but, you know, I, I'm. I'm all for Pablo. Don't get me wrong.

[Dan]

I mean, that didn't sound like you're all for Pablo.

[Show Host]

You're Scotty Scheffler.

[Greg]

Well, I was just thinking, you know, you. You asked me who the player of the week is. I don't Go to sports media.

[Show Host]

It's the player of the week.

[Billy]

It's the play. Yeah.

[Show Host]

I put a hard R. You did put an art in. I didn't want to say you didn't.

[Greg]

Put a hard R. Hard R. I didn't do that.

[Juju]

I don't like this.

[Dan]

At Levitard show. Let's update some polls. At Le Batard show.

[Billy]

Do you remember MapQuest? 97 of the audience says, yes, they do.

[Dan]

I think we set a record for polls today. We kept you busy today, Juju.

[Billy]

Yes, sir. Can you tell what time it is? Based on the positioning of the sun, 57 of the audience are liars and says yes, they can. Yeah, right. Is Jalen Hurts going to be a Hall of famer? Close 1. 53 of the audience says, yes, he is.

[Greg]

Wow.

[Show Host]

Get another Super Bowl. I mean, all right.

[Billy]

Fly Eagles, fly. Is Bob a good name for a shark? 53% of the audience says, no, it is not. Is 77% off. Basically free. 72% of the audience says, yes, it is.

[Show Host]

Go by part of the line.

[Dan]

By the way, did we get any good nominees for band names better than Coldplay on what it is you'd want symbolically, for the band's name to be if you're going to have a cheating scandal go viral in your arena.

[Show Host]

Not a one, just Cheap Trick One and done.

[Billy]

Nice. Are you respecting the police? If you're calling them the bravest, the strongest, or whatever they are, 66% of the audience says no.

[Dan]

You are not really gill disrespectful to the police.

[Juju]

By the way, Greg, congratulations. Your book is also not only an editor's pick, it's number one best best seller in biology of cats, lions and tigers.

[Show Host]

Hey, all right.

[Billy]

Are you stunned that the Dolphins have not won a playoff game in the last third of Greg Cody's lifetime? 57 of the audience says, no, they are not. Damn. Should there be a National Chicken Fingers Day? 92% of the audience says, yes, there should be.

[Dan]

Just so you guys know, if you go to raising cane July 27th on national chicken Fingers Day, and you there's.

[Show Host]

An S at the end of it. Raising cane.

[Billy]

Canes.

[Dan]

Yeah, Raising cane. Sorry about that. And it's national. I put the S in the wrong place because it's National Chicken Finger King's a show. Dan and I put the S at the end of fingers, but they give you a single chicken finger if you buy something. And I just don't see someone going specifically to buy a buck to get a free chicken finger. You don't hear people calling it chicken fingers anymore.

[Show Host]

The lexicon demands that it's attendees.

[Greg]

I have a quick update here, which is totally essential on the Coldplay controversy. There is a. There is a band called the Affair.

[Dan]

Thank you, Greg.

[Greg]

I'm not making it up.

[Dan]

I appreciate you looking that up. It has been worth it. I'm sorry your arms are bleeding. At Le Batard show on the poll. Juju, keep going because we've got. You're not even having halfway through, are you?

[Billy]

Now, I'm almost finished. I'm gonna wrap it up for time's sake. Also too, Best Revelation nominee today, Greg Cody's bleeding arm. Wow, that was comedic brilliance. Have you ever used the word. Have you ever used the phrase wonderful secret?

[Dan]

No, that's not. No. Have you ever said the phrase like, I understand, like, have you ever anyone. Has anyone ever. No. Is anyone ever said the phrase may every day be another wonderful secret you're adding to it.

[Billy]

88 of the audience still said, no, they have not. And the last poll. Are MRIs ever comfortable? 90 of the audience says, no, they are not. And those are your polls.

[Dan]

Thank you, juju. Appreciate it.

[Billy]

Yes, sir. Free Wyndham Clark.

[Dan]

Player. Player.
