At the end of every show that I want to do this week, I want to give ourselves awards. We did this last summer. Dominique inaugurated it. Juju was around for some of it. Juju remembers his game. I hope you guys remember this game. Chris, do you remember how to play this game?

[Pablo Torre]

I do. I'm just trying. I wish you would have said this before we started so I could have started thinking what the awards were gonna be.

[Stugotz]

I want to give an award to Chris Cody for being the best executive producer of the week.

[Chris Cody]

I'd like to give an award to Jeremy for lasting the entire show without bringing up perhaps the juiciest Miami Heat rumor ever.

Oh, are we ever. Are we talking about.

[Dan LeBatard]

Stop.

It's pretty juicy.

[David Sampson]

It's not ever.

[Stugotz]

I want to give an award to Dan LeBatard for picking maybe the worst week to not be in Miami based on the previously mentioned rumor, which.

[Pablo Torre]

Just some rumors, dude.

[Chris Cody]

You know how. Look, there's so much stuff that's happening that I can just imagine Dan disintegrating under the stress of not being able to talk about it. Forget about this juicy rumor that we're not going to address right now. Do you know that Dennis Schroeder said that it's kind of like slavery? He compared like players getting traded to slavery. And as soon as I saw that headline, I swear to God.

[Stugotz]

Hold on. I'd like to give Amin Elhassan the award for guy who got fooled by a fan Fake headline on the Internet.

[Chris Cody]

Was it?

[Pablo Torre]

Good job. I mean, congrats. Congrats.

[Chris Cody]

I'd like to give award to American Airlines for having jets that go so fast we can hear them deep inside the lser.

[Stugotz]

Are those. Are we sure Those are jets, Juju. There have been sounds here in the air ducts that we're not sure what they are exactly. You have been spared that. Do you have an award you'd like to give us or yourself?

[Juju]

[Pablo Torre]

Good job, Pablo.

[Dan LeBatard]

It's been three days and we.

[Chris Cody]

Juju, I'd like to give an award for false corrections to Pablo Torre because this quote is according to NBC Sports Bay Area. It's a real quote. It's not central.

[Pablo Torre]

Good job, Pablo.

[Stugotz]

I. I'd like to give an award to the guy who got betrayed by the video team or whatever the just happened by getting in my ear with wrong information.

[Pablo Torre]

Malley. Classic Mali Clally.

[Stugotz]

Wow.

[Pablo Torre]

Malik took a huge shit earlier.

[Dan LeBatard]

Okay, back to what you were saying. Because I saw that quote too and I thought it was real and I was really embarrassed for 10 seconds and I'm unembarrassed. But I also thought Dan if he.

[Chris Cody]

Were here, that dude at least an hour and a half, right?

[Stugotz]

Absolutely.

[Chris Cody]

At least an hour. All I could think of is Dan calling Elise his his assistant and saying get me on a flight back. Maybe that's him right now.

[Pablo Torre]

I think he's still hungry. That's just his stomach again. Juju, do you have any experience? You've stayed at the else there a bunch of times with the vultures flying around.

[Juju]

Not. I've been blessed to not see vultures on the balcony. You feel me? They always do put me up on a floor. That is a fact. And the balconies are this narrow, so. David is right.

[Pablo Torre]

No room for a chair out there.

[Stugotz]

Oh, this reminds me of an award I would like to give Jess. Juju and I can co present this to Jess for being the true person that a vulture would probably fly away with if they were picking one of us to.

[Dan LeBatard]

Actually, although I am taller than 65.

[Pablo Torre]

Inches by a lot.

[Dan LeBatard]

Yeah, if you're 65 inches, then yes.

[Chris Cody]

Hey Juju, what did the. What did the crowd in the YouTube chat think of the show today?

[Juju]

Oh man, the crowd is always being the crowd man. Salute to the audience. The wonderful audience. That's gpz boy, sir.

[Stugotz]

Oh, keep going. I was just afraid of what gpzoi was about to say.

[Juju]

He says a tucked in polo shirt with shorts is wild. Please, someone tell Samson and so Consider this judge your notification.

[Stugotz]

Good award. Good award. The Tuck Wild Award.

[Dan LeBatard]

We need to give David an award. What award?

[David Sampson]

I'm not award worthy.

[Pablo Torre]

Give him an award for only making the show awkward like, twice.

[Juju]

Hey.

[Dan LeBatard]

All right.

[Chris Cody]

New personal best.

[Dan LeBatard]

Great show.

[Juju]

I like to give David Sampson the best beard award on the show. Great beard.

[David Sampson]

Thank you. I mean, compared to a mean. I feel like it's an easy one.

[Chris Cody]

I show up every day. What's up? Consistency. That doesn't matter.

[David Sampson]

It's the whole lip and tooth and. And the way you have a few gray hairs scattered around. It's very tough for me to.

[Stugotz]

Salt and pepper is a good thing.

[David Sampson]

That's not salt and pepper.

[Chris Cody]

It's a lot of pepper.

[David Sampson]

It's mostly pepper with, like, a kernel of salt.

[Juju]

Not delicious. El Lobo Malo says Samson looks like the manager for the towel inventory at your local water park.

[David Sampson]

This is a compliment. I don't want to appear stuffy.

[Stugotz]

I'm gonna clap it up for that.

[Pablo Torre]

How many? Two, three? How many do you need?

[David Sampson]

No, I'm good now. But the reason I tuck.

[Pablo Torre]

No, I meant towels.

[David Sampson]

No. Do you know why you tuck in your shirt? Juju do you don't never tuck in?

[Juju]

Yes, sir, I tuck my shirts in. Especially when I'm in professional environments.

[David Sampson]

Right. This is a professional environment. You're tucked in.

[Dan LeBatard]

The shirt only comes tucked. It's a bodysuit. Takes a very long time for me to pee now.

[David Sampson]

No wonder the break was so long.

[Dan LeBatard]

Was a good stream.

[Pablo Torre]

That was Malley.

[Juju]

Also. Happy Black History Month. The NFL is reportedly removing the end Racism logo from the super bowl end zone after the White House announced it that President Donald Trump will attend on.

[Dan LeBatard]

Sunday award to the NFL for solving racism.

[Stugotz]

Yes.

[David Sampson]

Now, the NFL denied it. Just so we're keeping our facts straight. The NFL denied.

[Stugotz]

We'd like to award the NFL the least plausible denial award.

[David Sampson]

It's unreal. They said, oh, no, it had nothing to do with Trump becoming the first ever sitting president to attend a Super bowl game, which he is. And then all of a sudden, the end racism gets removed. And the NFL said, no, no, this was always the plan.

[Pablo Torre]

Surely a coincidence.

[Stugotz]

I'd like to give David Sampson the isn't understanding the game entirely because we just gave an award for that. That was implied.

[Juju]

I'd like to also give an award to Amin el Hassan's family for understanding. You can't take those files with you on the bus, so use them.

[Pablo Torre]

Good job.

[Chris Cody]

Five seconds to go.

[Dan LeBatard]

I mean, he's right.

[Chris Cody]

Just dribble the ball Let him dribble the ball out. We're done.

[Dan LeBatard]

Juju was Asia Wilson a hard launch?

[Stugotz]

That.

[Dan LeBatard]

That was like a medium soft launch.

[Juju]

Right, Right. And oh my goodness, those shoes are incredible. Salute to Asia Wilson for dropping those shoes. They dropping this may the pink Nikes. Oh, man. I was. I'm overwhelmed because I think shoes are going to be just as popular as Sabrina UNESCO shoes which are worn all over the NBA right now.

[Stugotz]

Well, which are like the co. Like the Sabrinas are the Kobe's. Right. They got repackaged as a Sabrinas. Basically.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Juju]

They. Awesome, bro. They. They fight.

[Stugotz]

This is. This is Asia's. Yeah, this is.

[Juju]

This is. This isn't the. This isn't the one that came out that she promoted yesterday.

[Stugotz]

I was gonna say that's not the one.

[Chris Cody]

The one. The one that I saw.

[Dan LeBatard]

Award for the video team.

[Pablo Torre]

Good job. Second best shoe possible. There's only two options.

[Juju]

50.

[Stugotz]

50.

[Pablo Torre]

Am I right?

[David Sampson]

They're tired.

[Juju]

So I like to award the Sambo Selley award to Jaguars for hiring Tony Boselli as their new executive vice president.

[Stugotz]

Wow. I was worried about that award for like the first couple syllables and then I went.

[Chris Cody]

You heard the same thing I heard. That's it.

[Stugotz]

I think I'd like to award all of us the we made it to the end of the show award. Yeah.
