Hell yeah, Juju. We've had ourselves a show today. A lot of stuff to get To a lot of things to reminisce about. But you got a couple of top fives for us as well as a bunch of polls because we didn't do polls yesterday. Which one of these top fives you want to start with? Juju.

[Dave]

Man, watching the show today put me in the. In just a nostalgic place, man. Y' all talked about so much nostalgia. My. My dog Dave. Dame check. He. We mentioned the NHL 94. It made me think, okay, top video games from my childhood. No matter what, I'm just gonna go. Top games that got me excited.

[Oli]

Good.

[Dave]

You feel me, Oli? Number one, Streets of Rage.

[Juju]

Oh, great fighting game, right? Great fighting.

[Dave]

Let's turn in a circle and hope somebody gets into your circumference. Because if they do, who stick talk, Oli. Number two, Lemmings. The computer game.

[Juju]

I don't remember what was Lemmings.

[Dave]

You gotta dig a hole and people just keep walking. They just keep walking and you gotta make them all walk to the end of the line.

[Oli]

I do remember that game. Yes. I didn't know the name of it, but I remember that game.

[Dave]

Great game also. Oli, my brother Dave, NHL 94. When you come around that curve and you hit somebody and you make the blood come out of their head injury. Not for kids. Not suitable in this. 17. Number five, Goldeneye.

[Juju]

Oh, classic.

[Dave]

Great game.

[Juju]

That was a game that made the. Was it GameCube? Not GameCube. What was it, the N64? N64.

[Nick]

Slappers only.

[Dave]

Yep. Number four, Street Fighter 2. I do look it. Oh, catch. No explanation needed. Number three, the game at the game room. When you go and hit the alligators.

[Nick]

Whack a mole.

[Juju]

Whack a mole.

[Izzy]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Now I'm angry. And they all come at you, aren't they? Moles.

[Izzy]

Yeah.

[Nick]

But down here we had the Gator variant.

[Dave]

Yeah. Yes. Number three. Number two.

[Juju]

Not a whole lot of Florida cruising.

[Dave]

Usa.

[Juju]

I hate that game. I hate that game so much. I hate that game so much. No matter where the finish line or the. The time tech line is, I'm three seconds behind it. Yeah, every single time.

[Oli]

Tough game.

[Juju]

Hate it.

[Dave]

Number one, I had a tie between Mortal Kombat 2 and Doom on the computer. It ain't right if ain't on the PC.

[Juju]

Can I throw? Can I? Speaking of computer, I can throw you a little Duke Nukem. Oh, I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum.

[Izzy]

My older cousins.

[Juju]

And I'm all out of gum.

[Izzy]

My older cousins played that and I thought they were so cool.

[Oli]

I was like, back to Contra Nintendo.

[Gator]

Nice, Izzy. Izzy will know my favorites. Dig Dug Joust. Centipede. The highly underrated sport. Karate champ.

[Oli]

Dig Dug.

[Gator]

Points. Half. Full point. And the best sports game, maybe really right up there with NHL 94. Track and field, it was an arcade game and it had a rolly ball thing. And you had different disciplines within the same game. It was sort of like Tron, the video game. There were four different things you would go do. Ride the motorcycles. But track and field, you did all the events. Some of them required the rolly ball, some of them you had to have rhythm.

[Oli]

It was Wii before we hit me for Legend of Zelda too. Ro.

[Dave]

I like it. Also hit Dante Jones with Joker of the Summer behind Bob Griffin iii. What was that? Why are you doing that? Like, what's the motivation behind that move, Dante? Salute to you, coach.

[Oli]

Let's just say that if ever you're about to go into an elevator at a hotel, you're on camera.

[Izzy]

I'm seeing this for the first time.

[Juju]

You do. Haven't seen it.

[Izzy]

I've heard it described. Let me see.

[Gator]

Okay.

[Juju]

He looks unbelievable. A little. And he's like riding his.

[Izzy]

Cleaning off what he did. Or did he make a mark and then he's like, oh, crap.

[Oli]

Or you should probably go back to the room if that's the case. Wait a second.

[Juju]

He's going up.

[Oli]

Maybe he is going from one room to his room.

[Juju]

Wait, so Mike got it.

[Izzy]

Do you guys imagine that, like, the security guy is just like watching this live and he's like, oh, boy. And sends it to his friends.

[Juju]

Izzy, Izzy, you gotta come see this. Watch. I see like this. Yo, you. You. You remember Dante Jones from Duke? He played on the Cavs when they went to Tampa. All right, nevermind. Just watch this.

[Izzy]

He's like, look what he does with his finger. And then he smells it.

[Juju]

Yeah, that's it. Wait, keep watching.

[Izzy]

It's not it.

[Juju]

Keep watching.

[Gator]

It's disgusting no matter what. But it feels like if you watch it close, it seems like he found something small and solid. If you look, it's not as though it's just.

[Juju]

It's not just a scratch.

[Gator]

I actually think it's not a smear of stuff. There's something. He's looking at something. What did he find?

[Izzy]

I think at the end of this, he's actually a decent human.

[Gator]

I think he.

[Izzy]

He sees that he made a mark.

[Nick]

What?

[Gator]

Watch.

[Izzy]

Let's watch this through.

[Juju]

He.

[Izzy]

He smells, does a mark and then realizes, oh, I made a mark. Let me fix It. Oh, let me get that off there.

[Juju]

No, no. He's going back almost to, like, I think he's writing. Like, I'm with you. I think he's a decent human, but I think he's writing, do not touch. This is all poop.

[Izzy]

I think he's like, oh, I didn't realize it'd be that. I didn't realize it'd be that much. Let me see if I can rub it off.

[Oli]

Juju smear is not great for others, but the smell is the grossest part of that. Right?

[Juju]

I'm going to tell you right now this is my biggest worry about showing this video, because I know my brother Julian is an extreme germaphobe. So, juju, how are you going to get through elevators now? Because I feel like this thing has scarred you for life, and now you're. What are you going to do? You got to touch it.

[Dave]

When I'm in my hometown, I always use my key to touch the elevator buttons. But after seeing him write the instructions to the kumite on the wall, it's like, I don't even know what. What else to touch. No more, bro. Like, ugh. Joker of the summer.

[Izzy]

There are times in South Florida where you're like, I'm in an elevator shaft. And it's like, I probably don't smell great right now, but I. I've never been there. I'm just wondering, what do you. Izzy in a moment where you're like, I want to assess myself. What's the move? What's the way to proper? Because that's what he's doing there.

[Gator]

He's saying.

[Izzy]

He's like, are we clean? Do I need a shot?

[Juju]

Like, he's assessing hotel. There's no assessment.

[Izzy]

You don't think he's assessing there?

[Oli]

Have the key to your room, you hit the lobby, and you go to the restroom.

[Izzy]

He's clearly trying to gauge how clean he is. Like, right. You think he's doing that for pleasure? Like, that is the ch to see how dirty he is.

[Juju]

I think he felt an itch. He scratched it. He found a little bit more than he bargained for and then got curious about the scent and then said, I got to eliminate this.

[Oli]

Then he was like, I'm going up to the room anyway.

[Nick]

This is the worst ad I've ever seen.

[Dave]

Go ahead, Juju. Who goes raw dog scratch?

[Juju]

No.

[Izzy]

That's what I'm saying.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Use the undies.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Unless you're unsure, and then you're like, well, I don't want to ruin the underpants Let me ruin my finger.

[Izzy]

What if he actually did go over undies there and it was like, I. How did this get like. It's so dirty.

[Juju]

It went through the fabric.

[Izzy]

That's why he's like, I don't even have this. Get on my finger.

[Juju]

Look.

[Oli]

How does he go back to coaching?

[Nick]

See some more.

[Juju]

I'm going to let you move on. Juju. What else you got for us? Top five wise?

[Dave]

Top five. TV show theme songs from my childhood always got me bopping.

[Juju]

All right.

[Dave]

Oh, well, i3's company.

[Juju]

Come on. Knock on my door We've been waiting for you.

[Dave]

Waiting for you. 8pm tonight, you will still be singing that song. Also, Oli, Sanford and Son.

[Oli]

Oh, you got five better.

[Juju]

Yes.

[Dave]

Number five. This ain't gonna be popular, but in my household, this was popular. Chico and the Man.

[Juju]

Oh, man, I don't remember the theme song. I remember the show.

[Dave]

It'd be like, chico, don't be discouraged. The man ain't so hard to understand.

[Juju]

Shout out. Shout out to Freddie Prince.

[Dave]

Right? Right. Number four, Family's Ties. Like my boy Dave said, how do they be sad?

[Izzy]

Like get a tear in your eye.

[Oli]

Every time as they're like, painting the photo.

[Dave]

Shalala.

[Oli]

That was great.

[Dave]

Definitely a jam.

[Oli]

How do we end Number three?

[Dave]

Number three. Magnum PI.

[Nick]

I feel like I'm watching a horse race at a sports book and I got a ticket that it's a loser. I've just been holding out. If anyone could say Denver, the last dinosaur, it's juju. I got a big plus money, and I don't think it's gonna happen. I'm about to tear up the ticket.

[Juju]

Number two.

[Dave]

Number two. Good times.

[Juju]

Not getting hassled.

[Oli]

What was that one that they. That one part of that nobody knew what actually was said. That's what it was, right? And it sounded like what?

[Nick]

Hanging in the chow line.

[Dave]

Hanging in the chow line.

[Juju]

Easy credit.

[Nick]

Rip off two times.

[Dave]

Scratching and surviving.

[Nick]

That's what Dante Jones was doing.

[Juju]

Hey, we lucky.

[Dave]

We got number one. Number one, the smoothest, grooviest theme song of all time. Taxi. Damian L Spoiled again.

[Izzy]

No family matters.

[Dave]

He's my friend and a whole lot.

[Juju]

More I can Juju update the polls. I will have a top five ready by the end of the poll update.

[Dave]

Oh, I bet you will, because it's gonna take me two seconds to find these polls. Okay, here we are. Is there anything wrong with a grown man ordering the filet mignon?

[Oli]

Absolutely not.

[Dave]

88 of the Instagram audience says no. There is not thank you.

[Oli]

I mean, gives me faith in humanity. No offense. As. Or whoever told you. Whatever.

[Nick]

There you go. Thank you. Corrected for him. I don't hate Angel Reese. I just like to.

[Dave]

Yes, sir, I understand. I'm understanding more and more, man.

[Nick]

I don't hate injuries. I'm just asking if you'd like to.

[Dave]

Do you know any Caucasian women named Tamara?

[Oli]

Great question.

[Dave]

67 of the audience says, no, they do not.

[Oli]

Thank you.

[Dave]

And the last poll. Does the head coach's haircut matter more than he thinks it does? 86% of the audience says, yes, it does. And those are your polls.

[Oli]

Y' all see out there with Mike McDaniel hair and expect people to take you seriously.

[Juju]

They were trying to tell me that's.

[Nick]

Why you fixed it.

[Juju]

Dude could come in with a man bun and just recruit. I'm like, he's not recruiting.

[Oli]

Recruit for the surfing team. Exactly.

[Gator]

Juju.

[Dave]

You can recruit with a man. Gun. With a man. Bunch of.

[Gator]

Did you ever. Well, first of all, best sports themes I'm thinking about, too. CBS college football. I mean, I know Monday Night Football. I hear Vern Lundquist and the rest of it. 1980. In fact, the Football America theme song sounds very similar to the 1980 NBC NFL theme. Well, now I got the CBS one in my head. Three's Company is a fascinating setup for a sitcom because Jack Tripper moves in with two women who share a bedroom. They. The two women share bedroom, both single beds. He gets a waterbed because he's a Coxman. But they have to sell it to the landlord, Mr. Roper, that he's gay because Mr. Roper is backwards enough that.

[Oli]

He won't let him live together.

[Gator]

He doesn't want men and women living together. But he's gay. He's progressive enough. That's cool. I like. I like this. And then when Mr. Roper and his lovely wife move on, Mr. Furley replaces them. Has the exact same worldview. Completely implausible worldview. I hate gay people, but I like gay people as long as they live here with women who are heterosexual.

[Juju]

Not gonna lie.

[Oli]

I totally forgot that element about it. I totally forgot that Jack Tripper had to pretend to be gay to both landlords. Yes.

[Gator]

This is too good. We can't abandon that storyline, right?

[Dave]

We got to make the remake asap. All right, guys, so also, a quick plug right now. I never do this, but I do a show called the Alley oop. I had the commissioner, Sarah Spain on yesterday, man. We over there on the channel right now is called DLS Hoops. Man, we. We need your help. We got. We get like us 13 views per episode right now, but I promise they're worth the 13 views. Help get to 17 this week, guys.

[Oli]

Aim higher. 20.

[Juju]

All right, guys, I got my list. Got a couple ois. I'm going to try to go through this quick. Oli, number one. Law and Order theme, number one. Oh, yeah, that's Oli.

[Nick]

Now I'm back at the. I'm back at the sports book, trying to piece together my Denver, the last dinosaur ticket.

[Izzy]

We don't number the Olis.

[Juju]

Okay, Oli, America, greatest hero.

[Nick]

Remember that banger? Yeah, yeah. Song bigger than the show.

[Juju]

Yes.

[Dave]

Yep.

[Oli]

That's perfect.

[Juju]

Oli. You take the good, you take the bad, you take the. You have the Facts of Life.

[Dave]

What show is that from? The Facts of Life.

[Juju]

Denver, the last dinosaur, number five. Now the world don't move to the beat of just one drum. It's different strokes.

[Nick]

He was a brontosaurus that played music and wore sunglasses. It was great.

[Oli]

I had a hard time learning to spell different because there was an apostrophe in different strokes.

[Juju]

Yes, there was. Number four, Hill Street Blues. Oh, yeah, That's a jazzy ass song, man.

[Gator]

Based on Pittsburgh.

[Juju]

Is Hill Street Blues based on really?

[Dave]

Yep.

[Juju]

Oh, how about that? Number three, Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

[Dave]

Hell, yeah.

[Oli]

Still no welcome back Cotter. Like, it is clearly in the top 10 of all time.

[Nick]

All right, well, what's going on? This is my list from that show. Bonnie Miller, Travolta. No, no. Will Smith.

[Juju]

Will Smith.

[Nick]

I'm having a weird one, huh?

[Juju]

Even though I'm an action.

[Dave]

You know what I mean?

[Juju]

I don't act. Number two, Golden Girls. Wow, Juju, I really thought that was your number one. So good.

[Dave]

Yeah, Golden Girls Pull out the pin on purpose.

[Izzy]

And then I pull it and then.

[Juju]

I throw it and I throw it.

[Izzy]

It's all on purpose, though.

[Juju]

I take. Take.

[Oli]

How do you know the words?

[Juju]

I bite up more than I could chew. And then I chew it.

[Nick]

And then I chew it. I like girls, trust me.

[Juju]

And number one, the Jeffersons. I watch Jefferson's on Pluto. Tv. Fire.

[Nick]

So no Denver, the last dinosaur, huh?

[Oli]

Sadly, come back.
