[Dan]

That's right. It's time for against the Spread.

[Juju]

Can I put a disclaimer out there on against the Spread given that I am telling you juju cares deeply about the picks he makes. He researches them and more often than not he gets two out of three. Except when Gary Payton Jr. Stinks and you can't even get an assist and.

[Dan]

A half out of Dan's talking about Thursday Thunder. We are doing against the Spread.

[Juju]

I'm talking about his general gambling advice.

[Dan]

Let's go over to Roy.

[Roy]

Round 2, Game 5 Florida Panthers at Toronto Maple Leafs. The Panthers are the favorites tonight at one and a half goals.

[Billy]

Everyone knows that.

[Roy]

Yes, the underdogs have covered the puck line in each of The Panthers last 11 games at Scotiabank Arena. That's not going to happen tonight because the Panthers are the favorites and they are going to win. They are the favorites at a goal and a half against the spread.

[Dan]

Billy, bring us home.

[Mike]

I'm gonna keep it at Scotiabank and I'm gonna take the Maple Leafs plus one.

[Billy]

Oh you dog.

[Chris]

You dog.

[Mike]

Now the last time we were in this scenario, I proudly took the Panthers because Chris Cody and Mike Ryan told me Panthers bounce back. That's what they do. And yeah, they did not cover that one and a half point spread that day. Not saying the Panthers are going to lose, I'm just saying I don't think that they're going to win by two goals tonight.

[Roy]

I got a lot of shit for that last time I did that. What are you doing?

[Mike]

Well, you were right and I was wrong because I took bad advice. So now I'm Roy. I think of you as my muse. So when you did that a couple weeks ago, my ideas mill of sorts. And when you did that a couple weeks ago I said, you know what, I should have gone with Roy, shouldn't have gone against him. And I did. So I'm. I'm gonna take inspiration from you last week and I'm gonna take your pick. And you're taking my pick. I know as I'm your idea.

[Juju]

The bet is over.

[Mike]

And I lost last week, unfortunately.

[Roy]

Still going against me.

[Chris]

He's going against the. He's. He's going against you. But what he's also doing is choosing this, this sweet cowardly spot where he.

[Juju]

Picks against your team but not enough.

[Chris]

That your team's going to lose.

[Mike]

Not his team, our team. Our Ice Cats watching tonight.

[Juju]

All right, Juju, I'm sorry. It's a big one tonight and I don't know whether Juju cares about the Florida Panthers. A lot of time people care about stuff around here because we're caring about the teams. I want to apologize publicly to DraftKings and to Juju that I still, still don't know the difference between against the spread and Thursday Thunder.

[Amin]

It's only been four years, but.

[Chris]

But Juju is also very, very good at the gambling. I shouldn't say also very good. He's the only one around here who is very good. But he gets disgraced by having to get all three right when he have only gets two out of three right every time. As opposed to you guys who just get everything wrong.

[Juju]

What?

[Mike]

I'm really good, like shockingly good at hockey.

[Juju]

Juju, welcome. Did you. The basketball last night? I don't felt. I didn't feel like OKC in the Nuggets given the size of what that game was. I don't think we talked about it quite enough.

[Zach]

Right. Two MVPs going head to head. You dig? Like, I think Shay Gilders Alexander stepped up in a big way in a pressure field game which he hasn't had a lot of opportunities to play in. He had the opportunity to show the world last night that him and his team can prevail. And like you said earlier, I think that this is the toughest test that they will have to face if they are in fact en route to a championship.

[Juju]

You've been great on the Celtics. You're still wounded today, right? Like that. That when you think about how a season ends or how it feels like it ends, it not only feels like it's over. I gotta, I've gotta think that the Celtics haven't felt quite like this since they went from down three zero to tying three three to then losing in game seven.

[Zach]

Yes, it's. It's. It's hurts so very badly. It hurts even more having to see you guys kind of just jump on the Knicks bandwag because the Celtics are losing. It's like my brother Amin, who I love, I was shared a special moment last year with. Tears were in my eyes as the Celtics confetti was falling from the sky. He was right there with me. And now look at him. Brutus, look. This is LJ and seeing Zaz's ugly mug. Just smile. He put his fingers in his face and made a smile just because he was so happy that the Boston Celtics had lost. And then you, Dan. I saw you.

[Mike]

You.

[Zach]

You hoped for an injury like this is. It's been rough, but.

[Juju]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Yes, yes. It's not a. Whoa. This is what happened on television.

[Juju]

Yeah. I'm sorry. Well, but juju. You did understand that I was just like a little pinky toe or something.

[Zach]

I didn't.

[Juju]

I. I didn't specify what kind of injury.

[Chris]

I didn't want a major injury I wasn't rooting from. Is there no distinction there?

[Zach]

No, not at all. No distinction. But for the last time, I may get to do this. We are the champions. It's been a great run. I see you guys again probably in 2027 while we're bur.

[Juju]

The Nuggets are two and five in the playoffs when Jokic has a 40 point game. Non Jokic Nuggets went 11 for 53 outside of four feet.

[Chris]

That's.

[Juju]

That is defense too though. That is defense. 20.8% shooting and shooting in the fourth quarter. Jokic four for six. The rest of the Nuggets one for 15.

[Zach]

Terrible supporting cast has to step up. It's the Michael Porter juniors of the world. It's the Christian Browns of the world. Like you gotta knock down those big shot and those shots in those clutch moments or else your hero is gonna a hero. But he's still going to get slain player weed names.

[Juju]

Surely you can do better than we did.

[Zach]

Yes. I like everybody to close their eyes and thinking about puffing on a pack of precious Achua.

[Amin]

That's a good one.

[Zach]

Yeah, I think that would be a good one. Also puffing on a little bit of maybe a weed strand. The Haywood Highsmith.

[Chris]

He's better at this.

[Juju]

You're good at this.

[Advertiser]

Juju.

[Chris]

He's better. He was lift. He was listening and saying they're terrible at it.

[Juju]

They don't know how to do it.

[Chris]

Dry Seattle then.

[Juju]

Really dry Seattle.

[Amin]

What about some TJ Cushman? Zara?

[Zach]

Liking it. I'm liking it. I was also listening to you guys pretty much basking the glow of the R rated films making a return. R rated comedies. So I made a top five list of R rated comedies of all time that I can think of.

[Juju]

Okay. Of all time. Can I ask the group here? The last. We don't have to go back to like the Hangover for some. A comedy that everyone was talking about. Right. We don't have to go back 15 years.

[Chris]

Right? It's.

[Juju]

It's more recent than that.

[Chris]

The, the major, the biggest everyone right.

[Juju]

Now is talking about Sinners. That's not a comedy.

[Chris]

But one of these word of mouth.

[Juju]

Comedies where everyone's talking about it. What's the last universal one?

[Advertiser]

Blockers.

[Amin]

I loved it. It wasn't universal though. Like tag. I'm trying.

[Billy]

Like that's a good movie.

[Amin]

Game night. Like they're good.

[Chris]

They're.

[Amin]

Oh, good boys. Good boys is one that kind of got broke through, had some word.

[Billy]

Oh yeah, that movie's dirty.

[Amin]

Yeah.

[Juju]

But I stun. I go back to the Hangover and you don't immediately say something else.

[Chris]

Right.

[Juju]

It seems, it seems way too distant to go.

[Amin]

22 Jump Street. When was that? I love 22 Jump Street. Don't even laugh like that.

[Dan]

Pineapple Express.

[Roy]

This is the end.

[Amin]

This is the end.

[Juju]

Top five that he can think of. As noted by Juju. I don't remember what the topic of this was. Number.

[Zach]

And of the last like 20 years too. I add that on there. Oh, I knocked up strong. Hell yeah, you hormones also, Oli. I love you, man.

[Dan]

One of my favorite rom coms ever.

[Zach]

I love that movie. Hell yeah. Number five, Pineapple Express.

[Dan]

Sorry I undercut you there, Juju.

[Zach]

I thought the hurricane season was over. Number four, the underrated, criminally underrated hall pass.

[Amin]

How much ice does it take for a polar bear to.

[Zach]

Yeah, enough to break the ice. Number three. Old school.

[Amin]

It's part time, dick cheese.

[Zach]

Yep, you my boy, blue. Number two, super bad. You got to know. And number one, the 40 year old virgin Classic.

[Juju]

I think we might have arrived in a new conversational space. I thought the wheelhouse of this show and sophomoric men in general was some form of 90s baseball. But sitting around talking about movies, you like staring at each other and just doing lines for each other, I believe is the greatest of the love languages.

[Billy]

It's the ultimate guy thing.

[Zach]

Yeah.

[Billy]

Like girls never do that.

[Juju]

Pathetic.

[Billy]

Such a guy thing.

[Juju]

Women also.

[Zach]

Women also. I think I would like to put on the record. Chris, you are an amazing ep. You have been doing a great job. I think no one's better for the job than you. You feel me? Hear that, Dan?

[Chris]

Well, what.

[Mike]

Whoa. You gotta say kinda kind of.

[Chris]

I mean, I just. Hey, just to answer my calls.

[Zach]

Thanks, Juju.

[Chris]

We're not done yet. We gotta get some polls. We gotta get look at him. Look at him.

[Roy]

Oh, we got food outside. We gotta get.

[Billy]

Him.

[Dan]

Did that not feel like an ending?

[Chris]

He gets an apology. He calls me a dick, and he says.

[Billy]

That'S a rap.

[Chris]

No, I want the polls.

[Zach]

Right. Also, the. The show that you said with Seth Rogen, that's on right now in the studio. It's amazing. Like you say every episode. I can't breathe into the episode.

[Chris]

Juju.

[Juju]

Let me ask you this, because it's such a.

[Chris]

Is Seth Rogen.

[Juju]

I underestimated him.

[Chris]

I did not think he could make something that's. That is elevated level of comedy for Seth Rogen from the other movies you.

[Juju]

Were talking about, like, Pineapple Express. He's making fun of his own industry in a way that's really funny and smart and. And.

[Chris]

And I didn't think Seth Rogen necessarily.

[Juju]

Had it in him.

[Amin]

What are we doing?

[Zach]

I'm not.

[Amin]

We're taking out Seth Rogen. He already took up Ben Stiller earlier.

[Juju]

No, I'm saying he.

[Chris]

Look, he's even better than I thought.

[Juju]

He was, and he was plenty good. I underestimated him.

[Mike]

I can't watch Neighbors too. That was terrible.

[Amin]

I liked it.

[Zach]

Every time he said last episode, like, every time someone liked to thank Sal Saperstein, I was like, oh, my God.

[Juju]

Every time.

[Chris]

It was funny every time.

[Zach]

Poll number one, does Mango Mountain Dew sound good to you? 67 of the audience says, no, it does not.

[Mike]

You gotta choose. You gotta try it. It's pretty good.

[Zach]

I'll take your word for it. I'll try it. Does Jessica's grandpa suck?

[Mike]

He's true.

[Juju]

Those are two different things, though. I'll take your word for it, and I'll try it. Those contradictory things. I'll take your word for it is you're not going to do it. And then you said you'd try it.

[Zach]

True. Dad. How about I clarify, I'm going to take your word for it, and I'm going to go to the store as well and test out that Mango Mountain Dew.

[Chris]

But that's also the same thing you.

[Juju]

Just said in that semantic.

[Amin]

This is like Dan asking Jessica, can you be a hardcore Christian if you're a Catholic? Hardcore Catholic if your grandma bans Pope jokes. Victory lap. Those are the same.

[Chris]

Not my best work.

[Juju]

You guys want me to take another victory lap?

[Chris]

You guys.

[Zach]

No, no, no. 57. 57% of the audience says, yes. Jessica's grandpa does indeed suck. And the last poll. What the hell? Johnny Depp. Please get out of here. Please. 85% of the audience says yes. Back to you guys.

[Dan]

We're done.

[Roy]

Are we?

[Chris]

What happened to Wild Billy Wednesday? Give me some Wild Billy Wednesday music. What happened, Billy? Where's the Wild Billy?

[Zach]

Wow.

[Chris]

Billy Wednesday.

[Zach]

Celtics and 7.

[Juju]

I just want horse.
