Chris Cody
That's right. It's time for and it is presented by DraftKings Draft. The Crown is yours. Billy, what do we got?
Billy Corben
I'm gonna take the Anaheim Ducks plus one and a half tonight over the Seattle Kraken. What do you. What is the laughter against us first?
Greg Cody
No, hold on a sec.
Mike Ryan
Whoa. I mean, you picking a hockey player.
Dan Le Batard
Why are you doing that?
Billy Corben
What are we laughing at?
Dan Le Batard
Why are you doing that? The other day I bet the Panthers to win by a million goals against Anaheim. Because Anaheim stinks.
Billy Corben
Yeah, well, Anaheim is 20 in their last two they had a 5 and 52 win over the Predators and 51 win over the Penguins. Now the Kraken, on the other hand, are 12 in the last three with a 42 loss to the Oilers. A 41 win over the Penguins. Remember the same Penguins that The Ducks just beat 5 1. A 30 loss to the Capitals on the Western Conference over in the Pacific. Kraken only one point ahead of the Ducks in the standings. 47 points to 46 points, two goals is a lot to win by in hockey. And I just don't see the Kraken being that much better than the Anaheim Ducks. So I don't. I'm not saying cracking win this game. They're not going to win by two. And that's why I'm taking the Ducks plus one and a half again.
Dan Le Batard
Greg, why are you pointing that way at. At.
Juju Gotti
Billy, it was just a lot of valuable information there hanging on every word.
Dan Le Batard
Not really.
Chris Cody
Jeremy, what do you got?
Jeremy Tache
Florida Panthers returning home after a four game road trip. Lost to the Kings on that road trip. But now taking on the Kings at home tomorrow night on what's. What day of the week is it? Who knows? Tomorrow night, Florida Panthers. Tomorrow's all the days bleed together. On Wednesday night, they'll be taking on the Kings at home at the barn.
Dan Le Batard
We have to get better.
Billy Corben
Minus one and A half.
Dan Le Batard
We have to do this.
Mike Ryan
Billy's info was bad.
Dan Le Batard
Yeah, we have to do better. Is this it?
Jeremy Tache
Hey, man, I've given you the Panthers three straight weeks now and they won the other two.
Dan Le Batard
Okay? So. Okay. Thank you.
Billy Corben
It's a trend.
Chris Cody
Hard to be better than that.
Dan Le Batard
Any. Any else? Anything else or is that it? That's it. Okay, how about this bad beat for me last night? How about I was state on the money line at Arizona. Did any of you see how Arizona tied that game? No buzzer beater to send it into overtime from over half court. I got Iowa State on the money line.
Mike Ryan
Oh, boy.
Dan Le Batard
Two and a half point dog on.
Mike Ryan
The road getting ready for march, huh?
Dan Le Batard
Oh, my God, that hurt. I'm like, you gotta be shitting me. That is such a bad beat.
Mike Ryan
I had him too, and I'm just finding out that I lost the bat.
Dan Le Batard
You're just learning. That's a. It's a terrible way to learn that. Juju, what do we have? Good seeing you again. Always good seeing when you and the coach Cody's mingled together. Look how happy Greg Cody gets every time. Every time. He just sees Juju's. Juju's face. What do you have for us today, Juju?
Greg Cody
If you drive into a parked train, have you been in a train wreck? 52% of the audience says, no, you have not.
Juju Gotti
Close vote.
Dan Le Batard
Good. It's a. That was close. I really enjoyed us learning together that Obama had been in a plane crash. But not really because do you see.
Chris Cody
These planes when they're on the ground? They go so slick. I'm just imagining like, hey, There's a plane 100 yards away and it's just like, yes.
Dan Le Batard
And then you just really get jostled. But no one's going to call it a plane jostle. It's going to be a plane crash. Like, if you are a plane accident, it's one of those two, is it not? Obama was either a plane crash or a plane accident. Even though you're right, it was just two planes bumping into each other accident.
Greg Cody
No matter what your job title is, do you want to be named Eber Floose? 93% of the audience says no, they do not. Wow.
Mike Ryan
Ent, though, I mean, I would like.
Greg Cody
To throw in some great coaching name I jotted down myself. Jack Del Rio.
Mike Ryan
Oh, wow.
Billy Corben
Fantastic. And a great head of hair.
Greg Cody
Butch Davis as well.
Mike Ryan
Wow.
Greg Cody
Chuck Pagano. Great names.
Mike Ryan
Yes. All done.
Dan Le Batard
All strong names. You're really crafting these.
Juju Gotti
Del Rio's a hall of famer.
Dan Le Batard
Yeah. Del Rio might be a hall of fame coaching name.
Greg Cody
Yes, sir. Can you flatten a car tire with a cigar? 76% of the audience says, no, you cannot.
Juju Gotti
They ever try?
Dan Le Batard
That's a good show. That's a. That's a. These poll questions. We used to be able to tell when the shows were good just from the poll question.
Mike Ryan
Jack Del Rio, right now is the head coach of the Paris Musketeers.
Dan Le Batard
He had. He. He had some sort of scandal here recently. I don't know what. Tmz. No, TMZ recently got him on something else. Just. Just hard drinking. Jack Del Rio, Little Dewey.
Greg Cody
Have you ever blamed a bodily odor on an animal? 77 of the audience says, yes, they have.
Billy Corben
Hell, yeah.
Mike Ryan
Right? Surprises that low. I mean, that's also.
Greg Cody
Billy went on a rant or two earlier, and I know sometimes he gets a little worried about these, but, sir, the audience was on your side today. AJT Says, salute to Billy. Brian S. Says, billy, you are the Mike Mitt. Says, Billy, you are my hero. Keep doing your thing, Billy the Duke.
Billy Corben
I saw some. Some Heat fans do not like it. Heat fans can criticize Jimmy Butler. If you criticize Jimmy Butler, then all of a sudden, well, you did say, he's a failure.
Jeremy Tache
And they should have known, and it was a waste.
Billy Corben
Well, they knew this. Go to multiple champions.
Mike Ryan
You do not know.
Billy Corben
I mean, not first. You're last.
Dan Le Batard
I. Billy, I need to know what I need to do to empower you, to always speak for the audience that way. You should have seen. I saw Jessica rise up in her seat. Jeremy. Because Jeremy can get. When she sits between Jeremy and Mike, if that's where the heat talk is. The heat talk has a lot of hot air on it that blows on the side of her face. And. And it's an unpleasant place to be.
Mike Ryan
She wanted more from Billy.
Dan Le Batard
She wanted Bill. Billy was. Billy was. It was as if a room had been filled for a month with let pets. And Billy opened it up and just brought some deodorant in and just sprayed it in the face of Heat fans.
Billy Corben
Thank you.
Greg Cody
Vinay S. Says, you are the goat as well. Next poll. Does Mike McCarthy look more like Mardi Gras or Key West? This is a big one, guys. 69 of the audience says Key West.
Juju Gotti
Whoa.
Dan Le Batard
Yeah. I think they're right.
Chris Cody
He just doesn't look like Mardi Gras.
Dan Le Batard
Mike Leach looks like Mardi Gras. Mike Leach looks more like Key West.
Mike Ryan
Right. But what Billy is saying is, you don't know what Mardi Gras looks like. Until you actually go to Mardi Gras.
Greg Cody
Yeah.
Billy Corben
He doesn't look like Mardi Gras, but he's what's there when you find Mardi.
Dan Le Batard
Gras, it's so what you're saying. I think you have this right. I think the audience thinks of Mardi Gras one thing. And that one thing is not what they think of when they look at Mike McCarthy. But if they knew the real Mardi Gras.
Mike Ryan
Right.
Dan Le Batard
If they know what is actually catching the beads and what is actually shirtless on Bourbon street, it's Mike McCarthy.
Mike Ryan
Thank you.
Greg Cody
When there are 40 people on one side of the plane.
Mike Ryan
Right.
Greg Cody
Will they allow 18 others to be on the other side of the plane?
Mike Ryan
No.
Greg Cody
66% of the audience says no, they will not allow you.
Mike Ryan
Thank you.
Chris Cody
I've never been on a plane where they're like, hey, we gotta balance this thing out, guys.
Billy Corben
Hold on a second. Greg, to your point, what if the larger people are the 18 on one side of the plane? They'll balance it out on the other side.
Mike Ryan
They get the scale up.
Billy Corben
Lighter people. Yeah, yeah.
Juju Gotti
I mean, in the cockpit, they have the methodology to figure all that out. You know, they can tell whether the plane is listing in one direction or the.
Chris Cody
What if they ask us for our weight? If they were doing this, like when we book a flight, I put in all my information. I have to put my weight so they know what side of the plane to put me on. It's ridiculous what you're saying. It's not true at all.
Juju Gotti
If you're taking a small plane and this has happened to me, they do ask you your weight.
Billy Corben
Yeah.
Chris Cody
Okay.
Dan Le Batard
We're not talking about small planes. We're talking about 40 people and 18 people that we're not. That's not a small plane.
Mike Ryan
They're going to even it out. I'm telling you. I know you guys 30.
Dan Le Batard
Well, you keep saying. And Jessica said it's happened to her. I'd like to read some. I'd like to read some about it before I come to a conclusive opinion. But I do want reading. Schmiding.
Mike Ryan
But you trust us. I mean, I've been on one.
Dan Le Batard
I do want to know from Juju whether there was any blowback because Greg Cody was a little worried during one of the breaks. He was saying, I really did come after fat people. There I was feeling great regret and.
Juju Gotti
I didn't mean to.
Dan Le Batard
Well, you did, but you did.
Juju Gotti
No, it was inadvertent.
Greg Cody
I think there was a kick save and abuke by young Christopher Cody that saved all of that because once he got in the audience, turned into how good of a son he was and saved his dad. So I think we avoided all catastrophe.
Dan Le Batard
Did the audience see Billy and sts in the shadows being like, no, no, no. Let's hear more what he has to.
Juju Gotti
Say here about egging me on.
Mike Ryan
What are you doing? You're bailing on me?
Chris Cody
Why do we egg people? Go ahead.
Greg Cody
Is Is the winds a good name for a football team? 90% of the audience says, no, it's not.
Juju Gotti
Oh, good, good.
Greg Cody
Happy birthday to NBA champion Peyton Pritchard. I see you. See you guys next time.
Dan Le Batard
Thank you, juju. We did not talk enough about Houston beating Boston in Boston didn't talk about it at all.
Mike Ryan
The super bowl is coming up.
