Host 2
Cuervo.
Host 1
What are you doing here?
Host 2
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Host 1
Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.
Host 2
Sweet, delicious Cuervo.
Host 1
Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.
Host 2
Cuervo.

Host 1
All right, it's time for Thursday Thunder and It's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours, Juju. Take it away.
Juju
Welcome back, welcome back. Last week another 2 for 3. If 2 for threes. Oh my goodness. I'm not gonna get started but this week we're back. I'm going tonight. The Oklahoma City Thunder money line. Those brothers are gonna get the W tonight. I know it.
Host 2
Come on.
Dan
What were the odds on that?
Host 2
It is straight cowardice. They're nine and a half point favorites one biggest favorites in the history. Yeah, it's.
Juju
Have you seen Holly Burton though? He got the. He got it going right now. You never know. Leg two, I'm going Chet Holmgren under 9.5 rebounds. He's a tall brother but I don't think he's gonna get 10 rebounds tonight at all. Take the under and for the last leg I'm going to the W. I'm going to the Valkyrie. I'm going to the Golden State Valkyrie. The newest team in the league. Veronica Burton, the PG Tiffany Hayes is hurt right now so they're gonna need a big night from her. I'm going her over 10.5 points tonight and she will get it done against the Mercury. You dig us.
Host 2
You'd be winning giant money if you were betting all of Juju's picks just not as parlays because he takes a lot of time with these and he often hits two out of three. A couple of things we didn't talk about today. Stot. There was in the Boston Red Sox game yesterday a game winning home run that went 308ft.
Dan
What?
Host 2
That is a popup. That is closer to a popup than it is to a home run. But it went out of the park. In in. It went inside of the pesky pole. 308ft.
Roy
Not sure if that's Closer to a popup, but I get your point.
Chris
Oh my God. Yeah.
Dan
I mean a home runs, a home run, a walk offs, a walk off.
Roy
Fly, like a pop up stays in the infield.
Chris
308Ft is a like weak fly ball to the right fielder in every other ballpark in America.
Host 2
It's not very much. It's not an infield pop up, but.
Dan
It was enough in that ballpark.
Host 2
Yeah. To get out, put it on the pole.
Roy
Can you have a pop up in the outfield? I'm pretty sure if it's an. If it's in the outfield, it's a fly ball.
Dan
Yes.
Host 2
You don't think that a pop up can be a right fielder catching it right behind the second baseman?
Roy
I'm going to text him.
Host 2
Kirk, you're saying it's a pop up if the outfielder, if the infielder catches it. It's not a pop up if the outfielder catches it.
Chris
If the outfielder has to run in.
Dan
Guys, it's a fly ball to the center fielder. It's a pop up to the second baseman.
Roy
I'm with Dan though. If, if a second baseman goes out into shallow right. I could see that.
Chris
I think if you have to have communication between the infielder and the outfielder, that's a. Roy is giving.
Host 2
Roy is giving us the Mutumbo finger.
Host 1
No, we're calling that a pop fly.
Juju
Oh, right.
Roy
That is the hybrid game changer.
Host 2
He really did ruin the entire game. Just took it out, ended the game. The other thing I wanted to point out to you guys because we didn't talk about this at all. In fact, I think Chet Holmgren was the first mention of anything basketball related in the show today. That wasn't me just mentioning name dropping. Stan Van Gundy. The Pacers are the biggest long shot in the last 20 years. The last long shot like this was the Pistons team that did knock off the Lakers in five games. But a ton of money is coming in on the Pacers. Tons of money. It's at least because they're big value. Because they're such a big dog.
Dan
It's a value play.
Host 2
They're five to one underdogs. But the grand majority of the money is coming in on. On the Pacers because of how rare it is to have this kind of value from one of the team in the finals.
Dan
So I think it's combined a value play for gamblers and also not a lot of people believing in the Oklahoma City Thunder. I think there's some that going on.
Host 2
Well, I just, I believe a ton of people do believe in okc, and a lot of money is coming in on OKC the way that juju just did it, which is they're going to win on the money line, etc. Because they're such an overwhelming favorite. But it's just people looking for value. Juju's doing a show after the games that's live on YouTube. It's his alley oop show. What do you want to give us in the way of preview? Not for that show necessarily, Juju, but just on the series. What are you looking forward to seeing?
Juju
Man, I'm looking forward to the Pacers. Can they do it? It's been a lot of hype around the Thunder. They said yesterday on the show that bulletin boards are dead. The bulletin board material. If they were to make a resurrection, I think the Pacers would have a lot of bulletin board material. So I want to see what they do with that. And of course, we are going live tonight with my. My sister, Trista Crick, and my brother, Josh Smith, Stephen, a nephew. We're gonna be live right after the game. I got a sidebar as well. I see my brother Chris Cody talking. He gets compared to a lot of people. We got a lot of Chris Cody looks like. And it's a rising star in Atlanta right now who Chris Cody actually looks like. When I see him, I see Chris Cody. His name is Belly Gang Cushington. In your free time, google Belly Gang Cushington and I. That's the most looks like Chris Cody I have ever seen. Huge rap, strong. Look out for him.
Roy
That's strong.
Host 2
That's a good name, too. I like that as a. As a.
Roy
Same body size, too?
Juju
Yeah, yeah. Same coolness, too. Same beard, same lingo.
Host 2
Does he have the same timing on the Thunder that you have? Because you and Mike were struggling with. Whenever it is that you were hitting the Thunder, there, you were trying to sell it but doing it poorly.
Roy
That's more of a Royce take me.
Juju
Yeah. Establish bet. Yeah. Do it again. Bam.
Host 2
Juju, are you updating some polls for us today?
Juju
Yes, sir. And before the pose, I want to say happy pride month to all the community out there, as well as a rest in peace to Jonathan Josh, slain this week. Big member of the community. He played. What's his name, John Redcorn on King of the Hill as well as Ken Hotate on Parks and Recreations. Very untimely, very tragedy. So sorry to throw that in your face, but you really.
Host 2
It was. It was both untime. It was both very untimely and Very tragic and apprec.
Dan
Appreciate it. And I don't think you're sorry.
Host 2
And also appreciated. Yes.
Juju
Given his name, should Dalton Kincaid be better at football? 83% of the audience says, yes, he should.
Host 2
Yeah, we can agree on that. Right? Dalton Kincaid. That person needs to be a Hall of Famer in football. Just based on name. In fact, Stugatz has said this before. He has said this of. Is it Jackson Dart.
Dan
Jackson dart. Yes. On a rogue field. If I'm a scout, I would call any NFL team and say, I have your quarterback. I'm watching him right now. Even if he wasn't good, I would.
Host 2
Be saying that of Dalton Kincaid as well. Right. Even if he's playing tight end, I'm like, I've got your quarterback.
Dan
Don't need to see him.
Host 2
Yes, his name is Dalton Kincaid. I don't need any more information. He's just our next quarterback.
Juju
Most meaningful Mariner. Ichiro Suzuki, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr. Or Jay Buhner. We only have four options for polls, so my brother got.
Host 2
Edgar Martinez got left out. That's unfortunate.
Roy
Good job by you. You got to go Jay Buhner there.
Dan
Good call.
Juju
72% of the audience says, Ken Griffey Jr. Do you miss pitchers, pinch running and jackets? I, for one, do.87 of the audience says, yes, they do.
Chris
We didn't even mention that they would also wear batting gloves like before. Before the oven mitt thing that they do now for stealing bases. They'd be out there wearing a helmet, a jacket, and batting gloves. It was the best.
Juju
Do you hate the Apple controller? 82% of the audience says, yes, they do. Dang. Salute to our sponsors. Have you ever met a white Anton? 95% of the audience says, no, they have not. Have you ever met anyone named Rance? 92 of the audience says they have not.
Dan
8%.
Host 2
Yes, that's right. 8% of our audience is just hanging out every weekend with their best friend, Rant.
Juju
If your name is Rants, do you have to wear prescription glasses? 90% of the audience says yes. And the last poll are dudes. Gross. This has never happened before. Maybe it's very early. 100% of the. Wow. We did it.
Host 1
We did it.
Juju
We did it. Lightning me. Thunder me.
Host 2
Hit me.
Juju
Roy, hit me with a Thundercloud. Wow.
