Transcript

[Jeremy]

All right, Smirnoff. Official vodka of the NFL. World's number one vodka. Chris, Cody, you're with me here.

[Chris]

Smirnoff.

[Jeremy]

Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff.

[Chris]

Smirnoff.

[Jeremy]

I'm gonna ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food?

[Chris]

Smirnoff.

[Jeremy]

That's your favorite game day drink. What's your favorite game day food?

[Chris]

Smirnoff.

[Jeremy]

All right, here's the deal. Game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.

[Chris]

Smirnoff.

[Jeremy]

Smirnoff belongs in that mix. Because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff. Otherwise, it's not a real game day. They've been doing it since 1864, which is. I don't even want to do the math. It's a long time. It's like when Greg Cody was born. They're award winning, they make cocktails super easy, and they're all about bringing fans together. So, yeah, we do game days. That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you. You should too. Why, Chris?

[Chris]

Smirnoff.

[Jeremy]

Grab a bottle of Smirnoff at your local retailer and head to smirnoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day.

[Chris]

Smirnoff.

[Jeremy]

Please drink responsibly.

[Chris]

Smirnoff.

[Jeremy]

Number 21, vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.

[Roy]

Against the spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Roy, kick us off.

[Mike]

All right. Maple Leaves and Blue Jackets tonight. The Maple Leafs have failed to cover the puck line in seven straight games on the second leg of a back to back versus the Blue Jackets. And the Blue Jackets are on a six game winning streak at home versus opponents with a winning streak. The Toronto Maple Leafs have won back to back games. This is the fourth game in six days for the Maple Leafs. So go with the Blue Jackets who are a goal and a half favorite at home. Against the spread.

[Jeremy]

Against the spread.

[Roy]

Mike, what you got?

[Mike]

Texas. Vanderbilt. I love this college football betting card and there's a lot of great games, a lot of great value on the board. I have maintained over the last few weeks that the SEC is the ACC with a better publicist. Vanderbilt. Everyone's hot on them. Everyone's down on Texas because Texas has struggled the last two weeks on the road. Texas struggles on the road. At home, we don't have a lot of data to pull from. It looks like Archmaining is indeed going to play. So I like Texas minus two and a half. I think it's a good time for Texas to have their best performance of the season against us with. Give me this.

[Chris]

So you guys know I love a good NBA controversy, right? I love a good NBA controversy. Now, I know if you guys remember, but Pat Beverley and Trey Young, they hate each other. All right. I'm not exactly sure why Pat Beverley decided to go out Trey Young when he did.

[Greg]

I have the background. It was because someone said, how do we make the All Star Game better? And Pat Beverley's came out strong, like the All Stars need to care, whatever. And Trey Young responded. How about you let the All Stars answer that question?

[Chris]

Okay, good response. Okay, good response. Well, the Hawks. Two nights ago, the Hawks lost to the Bulls, who are undefeated right now, by the way.

[Greg]

They are.

[Chris]

Hawks lost to the Bulls. Trae Young had a lot of assists. I think he had, like, 17 assists that game, but he shot the ball really poorly. So Pat Beverley took it as an opportunity to troll Trae Young again and continue their beef. He tweeted out BTA Amin. You know what BTA means?

[Mike]

I know what it means. Yeah.

[Jeremy]

B2A.

[Chris]

Like I said, B2A. You know what B2Ameans?

[Mike]

What does that say?

[Greg]

I do, but Chris doesn't.

[Chris]

So explain to Chris Belt to ass dog. So he put B2A bulls way to beat the Hawks. All right? Then he tweeted out immediately after that, another tweet, Patrick Beverly, because that right there is just, you know, about the. The Bulls beating the Hawks. And he adds Trey Young. Trey Young. And the Hawks did all that talking and trolling just to lose by 20 to the Raptors. Talking about playoffs. Hold your nose. It's a nose emoji. Hold your nose. Stink. So he. He's gonna. I guess he's gonna do this all season anytime he has an opportunity to go after Trey Young.

[Greg]

I like the idea of, like, the first one against the Bulls was subtle, but it's like, maybe it's too subtle. Maybe he didn't get the message. Let me tag him next time.

[Chris]

Well, and then there was another one, too, where he makes sure that everyone knows that he's coming after Trae Young. Come on, relax on Trey. Just a tough shooting night. He. Go get it right. Go, Hawks, go. And it's, you know, a quote heat to. To seeing trae Young shooting 7 at 22 and 1 of 10 from 3.

[Greg]

Not a great shooting night. But also that would represent Patrick Beverly's greatest night ever.

[Chris]

I mean, Pat Beverly would kill to just be in the league right now. Trey Young's an all star in the NBA.

[Greg]

I mean, Patrick Beverly would kill to have 22 shot attempts in any game anywhere.

[Jeremy]

He's saying Trey Young stinks like fried fish on an airplane.

[Chris]

I love a good NBA beef.

[Greg]

Only if you're in the middle seat.

[Roy]

Jeremy, I've noticed you've stopped bringing fish to work since I called you out.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, I mean, if I bring it, I'll just make sure that it's like a meal prepared that I like to have cold. So you still. Salad.

[Roy]

You still will bring in the sad, like my jokes? Wheat bread, turkey sandwich.

[Jeremy]

Yes, I will.

[Roy]

And I appreciate you trying to look good.

[Jeremy]

Health. Eat healthy, be healthy.

[Roy]

It's a sad lunch.

[Jeremy]

It is a sad lunch, but I, you know, health. Matt, I'm trying not to die, you know, that's the big one. Family history of kind of almost dying, and I'd rather not do that. Okay.

[Roy]

Just made it serious.

[Jeremy]

Well, it's hard stuff, you know, you just want to.

[Chris]

Family history of almost dying is an awesome family.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Every. Every other family I know.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

No, Grandma two heart attacks. Didn't die from him. She just died of old age. It's pretty special. Hey, I have polls to update if you guys want to go for it. We had two. Let me get to those scrolling. Big fat white face. Big fat white face. Here are the said you had them polls. I did have the Charlotte Hornets been running up and down the court for 37 years for no good reason. 96.5. 2.5% of the audience says yes.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

And is there a better name in sports than the mustachioed Simone Fontechio? How about this one, guys? Have never happened before.

[Greg]

No. No. What? Wait a second.

[Jeremy]

50% of the audience says yes.

[Roy]

Really?

[Greg]

How much does it.

[Jeremy]

50% of the audience says no.

[Mike]

What? Really?

[Jeremy]

We have him with a mustache here.

[Roy]

You guys were talking about it earlier.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah, I remember that.

[Greg]

That, like, stretch of the season last year when he was dressed like that.

[Jeremy]

It's a me.

[Chris]

Simone, you wok in bed next to that guy.
