Chris Cody
There are a lot of people in here right now who have had a lot of food. I feel like the. The other room smells like super bowl leftovers. I could not believe the amount that Jessica ate today.
Dan Le Batard
She really.
Chris Cody
It felt like you were shoveling with your hand. It was. It was alarming, but also, it seems like it invigorating. You seem like you're filled with nutrients right now.
Mike Ryan
Homemade granola, really a game changer. You melt some brown sugar with some maple syrup in like a olive oil, and then you sprinkle on the oats and some nuts and some coconuts and some, you know, dried fruit and you warm it up in the oven. Oh, delicious.
Chris Cody
Surprising thing to see you eat so vigorously with your hands the whole time. I would have thought you would have grabbed a utensil at some point.
Mike Ryan
No, that's ridiculous.
Juju
Right?
Chris Cody
Okay, Juju, thank you for being on with us here. Can I get some more information on the dog in the back, please? Because it's been here with us today. It is not Willow, and it's got a slightly. A lot less personality than Willow, it seems.
Juju
Oh, well, I mean, she's a compliment to your dog.
Chris Cody
She's sedentary. She's sedentary. This one. She. She doesn't move around a whole lot. Is she old?
Dan Le Batard
So cute.
Mike Ryan
She's baby.
Dan Le Batard
Okay.
Mike Ryan
She's like 9ish. She's a rescue. We have matching hair.
Chris Cody
Okay, so why. Why is she here today? What is the backstory? Okay, Juju, thank you. The best shows always have. Have a lot of good polls in them. I hope that you have some good polls for what kind of criticism? How do you feel in general today?
Dan Le Batard
You.
Chris Cody
You follow the season very closely. You're a Bills fan. You saw that the Bills barely beat the couldn't win against the Chiefs, and then the Chiefs get dragged. Do you think it would have been any different if Buffalo had been in that game?
Stugotz
Not at all. Buffalo lost. You feel me? And I. I don't have to keep reminding you. Darius Slay is my third cousin, so I'm naturally a Eagles fan as well. As long as. As well as Leotis McKelvin. The only guy to ever make it from my city was an Eagle and a Bill. That's how I became Bills and Eagles fan. You did me. So it's pretty awesome. The Bills got to do their work. You know what I mean? There's no excuses for them. They got to get the job done and they did not.
Chris Cody
All right, so hold on a second though. Is Billy, are you allowing this equal fandom of both fan bases, or does juju have to cheer in a way that's different than the way that he's cheering? I believe I've always thought that juju liked Buffalo more than Philadelphia.
Juju
Same.
Chris Cody
Even with the. Even with the family allegiances. Do I have this wrong?
Stugotz
No.
Billy Gil
I mean, I knew that he was an Eagles fan too, because we've. There's been times they've played against each other. He hasn't wanted to pick either team. I'm not the.
Juju
So it's totally.
Chris Cody
No, but it's totally.
Jessica
Whatever makes you happy.
Chris Cody
Yes, of course, but you're not the commissioner of fandom. But juju, you would allege that your allegiance to both of these teams is 100% equal?
Stugotz
Yes, sir. Absolutely. I have a half and half jersey like Dana Jacobson that wears that she got criticized for. And every time I wear that jersey, I get chastised from Bill's fans and Eagles fans. So it's not. It's not fun.
Juju
But hey, here we are, like Donna Kelsey. I mean, juju. What cousin? Like, he's your first cousin. Second cousin. Third cousin. Darius.
Stugotz
Darius. My third.
Juju
That's ridiculous. I gotta be honest with you. He's a third cousin. He's not a first cousin. I mean, you should root for the Bills.
Billy Gil
What?
Stugotz
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Juju
They're your cousins, though.
Dan Le Batard
No. What do you. What do you mean? What do you mean?
Chris Cody
Yes, sir?
Juju
All I said was that's ridiculous.
Dan Le Batard
Third cousin.
Chris Cody
What is the. What is the difference here?
Dan Le Batard
What are you doing in the rankings.
Chris Cody
Of cousins that are. Where are you putting this line? A first cousin. Yes, but in your personal record book.
Juju
So I'm saying like third cousin, he should probably go with the team that he's been rooting for his entire life. But it is big play slay, and so maybe that's a third cousin down to a second cousin.
Dan Le Batard
You see, this is part of the prominent and then if it's Jalen Hurts, then it makes it a first cousin. Correct. If it's Saquon Barkley, then he's your brother.
Stugotz
Yeah, that's the thing. I didn't root for the Bills my entire life. Only when Leotis McKelvin was drafted. And then Leotis McKelvin got his house TP and he had a bad game one day and Buffalo fans tore up his house, so they traded him the Philadelphia Eagles. So I'm like, yeah, they rhyme with my dog. You feel me? And then my cousin go, neither here nor there. I can be a fan of whoever y'all want me to.
Chris Cody
No, that's not correct.
Dan Le Batard
Juju. No, it is not juju.
Chris Cody
Go ahead and update some of the polls for us. What were the good ones and what was the general criticisms of what we were doing today? Too much Super Bowl?
Stugotz
No, sir. That. I have no criticisms at all. I'm all peace and love. Did you find it weird when the referee said, hi, I'm Ron Torbert? 82% of the audience says, yes, very weird.
Dan Le Batard
It was strange. He introduced himself. He was polite.
Juju
I like it.
Dan Le Batard
Got no time for that. Master of ceremonies. Just wear your stripes, call the game, don't need to know your name, be faceless until I yell at you all.
Chris Cody
Week after afterward, because the call blew the game.
Stugotz
Is Harry Connick Jr. A legend, tight one. 54% of the audience is, no, he is not good.
Dan Le Batard
Look at Chris Cody. A big good says good. Okay.
Juju
Good job on the audience.
Dan Le Batard
Okay.
Stugotz
Yeah. Warren Corpus from Twitter says, Harry Connick Jr. Is to new Orleans as Billy Gil is to Cartersville, Georgia. So, yeah, I don't know.
Juju
Whoa, New Orleans.
Mike Ryan
No, I think they're saying he's a big deal.
Jessica
I actually agree with that. If the super bowl is in Atlanta, Billy goes as Cartersville Day Billy Gill. But he's not singing the opening song. That's all.
Billy Gil
I said I would if they asked me to. Yeah, if it was Cartersville, I would.
Stugotz
So congratulations, Billy. Like, they took shots at you. Yes. Last week when you was at super bowl road, I think it was very fantastic for you to have a day and people come up and show out. Like for you, bro. Salute. Hats off.
Chris Cody
Who took shots at him? Who took shots at him?
Jessica
The shots were not a snitch. The shots, I think, were us just saying if it. If it's not covered, like.
Mike Ryan
No, it was Fritzi. Fritzi through.
Unknown
Great explanation. Great explanation.
Chris Cody
I thought the framing on everything Cartersville, was that Billy, because he's purposely funny, would have liked it to be in a banquet hall with even fewer people in it that. That he was going for maximum awkward there.
Billy Gil
I didn't want to tell people about it like you're going to tell anyone. And I was like, if I must.
Jessica
That's the part we said was funny that like you hiding it.
Juju
Yeah. But I recall Dan saying it as a compliment because who does that under the radar like that? Billy does, you know?
Stugotz
Yeah. And it was raining a lot like here in Atlanta and Cartersville that day. It was raining cats and dogs. So the fact that anyone showed up is a big salute.
Juju
You did idea about naming a day.
Chris Cody
After somebody who was associated with one of the early the favorite podcasts. It's become an unhealthy obsession over.
Dan Le Batard
He can't still be talking. It's not possible that this person is still doing this presentation after all of this time from last week.
Chris Cody
Juju, what else do you have?
Stugotz
Would you ever eat a chicken wing right after eating ice cream?
Jessica
This is a big one for me. If I hit this one, I'm three for three Stugats.
Chris Cody
We were missing your expertise earlier because they were looking for your munchies. They were looking for the munchies. That's the only time that you do that. Right. It's a bad choice.
Juju
Yes.
Stugotz
51% of the audience says, yes, you can.
Jessica
What a day.
Juju
What a day for me.
Jessica
Three for three.
Stugotz
Big winner.
Dan Le Batard
Chris Cody having a big victory day. You too can be as disgusting as Chris Cody having chicken wings immediately after ice cream and just taking the consequences of whatever lactose mix that produces later.
Stugotz
Are you doing it all wrong? If you have an ice cream in the second quarter, 51% of the audience says, no, you are not.
Dan Le Batard
Holy.
Jessica
What a day.
Dan Le Batard
Chris Cody's winning every poll, especially not.
Juju
Last night because that game was over.
Jessica
That's why I did it. I was sad at.
Stugotz
Tony Tenderoni from Twitter says, this is America, Jack. So I guess he voted down.
Dan Le Batard
You've got a right. What does that mean? No, this is pro or anti. You have a right to be disgusting and eat ice cream in the second quarter gluttonously. To eat your feelings of sadness because the super bowl is bad because Patrick Mahomes has 23 yards. Eat your feelings.
Stugotz
Does Alex Smith win that game?
Juju
Oh, yeah. Hell yeah.
Stugotz
55 of the audience says no, he does not.
Juju
Close.
Dan Le Batard
Those two guns. Close.
Juju
I know. Like, if we asked last week, would Alex Smith win the super bowl for the Chiefs? It would be like 2%, right?
Dan Le Batard
Stugz is not wrong. He's Just early.
Juju
Yes.
Dan Le Batard
Next year we'll be saying if they had Alex Smith, it would be a 4p.
Stugotz
Did Jimmy Johnson retire yesterday?
Dan Le Batard
Can we find out, please?
Stugotz
76 of the audience says yes, he did.
Dan Le Batard
Call Jay Glazer. Just call let's. Let's or something.
Chris Cody
I'm going to text Jake Glazer, see.
Juju
If we can find you. Get an answ for worse before the end of the second.
Chris Cody
I mean, did he retire or not? It seems like it'd be big news.
Dan Le Batard
Like we.
Unknown
I'll ask Jake. Laser, you ask about the Malort forts. That's a big one.
Juju
Yep.
Chris Cody
I don't know where my phone is.
Juju
And the racism. Don't forget that.
Chris Cody
Yeah, that's tomorrow. I'll bring up that story tomorrow.
Stugotz
Happy Black History Month. Is Cincinnati a Great American City? 69% of the audience says no, it is not.
Juju
Wow.
Jessica
Nice.
Juju
Amazing.
Chris Cody
I'm sorry.
Juju
Stugats a big loss for me. Great American ballpark, they said so.
Dan Le Batard
It's in the heart of the city and they said it's a great American ballpark. How can there be a great American ballpark in something that's not a great American city?
Stugotz
Did anyone enjoy Bourbon street more than John Ham? 84% of the audience says no. No one didn't last 48 hours.
Billy Gil
God bless football.
Chris Cody
God bless football.
Juju
In addition to me.
Stugotz
Unfair angle. Unfair.
Juju
Yeah.
Stugotz
Hey, Super Bowl. Enough with the Roman numerals. 70% of the audience says yes. Enough is enough.
Juju
Thank you.
Chris Cody
Yes.
Dan Le Batard
Dugat's a big winner today.
Chris Cody
You guys spoke for America today. Gassy and bloated as you were shoveling.
Dan Le Batard
Granola into your face.
Juju
Wings after ice cream.
Mike Ryan
I mean, enough with Malort farts, Mike. He's just been saying it non stop for like three hours.
Unknown
How many Malort parts were on your flight back Chicago?
Chris Cody
How bad did the flight smell?
Juju
That was alleged 5am flight. Did I smell? This is the worst I've ever smelled. Personally, I can tell you. I buried a good five or six right into a cushion.
Chris Cody
Yeah, yeah, you guys.
Unknown
Oh, yeah.
Dan Le Batard
Listen to me. Stu guys propelled that jet across the country with the fumes of whatever it is that he had in his belly from the last week of intoxication, invigoration, ego soaking and just terrible food moofalatas. Just every night.
Juju
The watch is very expensive.
Stugotz
Yes, Mike does have a good watch. I've seen that watch. The person before, he has a couple good watches. So salute to Mike's wristwear. You dig it? If Jason Kelsey celebrated with his ex teammates last night, is he A bad brother.
Dan Le Batard
It's a good question. It's a good question. It's a great sports radio. It's just. You should be proud of it, Stu. Guys, when he wasn't farting into a cushion on a flight from Chicago, was like, I got one here. I'm going to question the real brotherhood of Jason Kelsey by seeing if, as a human being, he just went and hung out with his friends for a couple of hours.
Stugotz
83% of the audience says, no, he is not a bad brother.
Dan Le Batard
Oh, wow, that's too bad.
Chris Cody
Did people turn on the Kelsey's last night for like. It seemed like they enjoyed the way he looked, enjoyed making fun of Taylor Swift. You don't get to win all the time. Ha ha. America, sweetheart, boyfriend and girlfriend. The, you know, the American dream.
Dan Le Batard
You two, you lose. Haha.
Stugotz
Haha as well. It's pickle.
Chris Cody
Did I pronounce it wrong? Do I owe another fine?
Juju
Yeah, yeah.
Stugotz
Speaking of fines, the joker of the week. A quick joker of the week. The Dan Patrick showcast. Y'all can't do that after Dan's gone.
Unknown
Right?
Stugotz
And they posted that clip. Why post that clip at all? It was, it's. It seemed a bit in poor taste, but. Salute to the Dan Patrick.
Chris Cody
Wait a minute. We're gonna feud with the Dan Patrick show now? That's what we're gonna do. That's what we're gonna do.
Mike Ryan
Might have called him a sexist earlier.
Stugotz
Salute to Jessica. You've been holding it down too the last couple weeks. Jessica been holding it down. Y'all been at the Super Bowl. She's been holding it down with cast mitt at the cast, mate. So hats off to you, sis.
Chris Cody

Chris Cody
Hats off the man.
Jessica
Can't you do tip of the cap with just touching the tip?
Juju
Yeah, you can. Yeah.
Chris Cody
That's half hearted. That ain't right.
Jessica
That ain't in more ways than one, brother.
Chris Cody
If St. Gotts is saying hats off and all she gets is one third hats off. That ain't hats off.
Juju
My hat's off. My hat was off.
Chris Cody
The rest of you, though, what's on to you? Jess, Wait, Chris, are you trying to just guard the cul de sac? Is that all that's happening? That's right.

Dan Le Batard
Who is gelato Man? I want to know more about this impersonation. Is Chris Cody. This is your Italian? Is that who this is? Just saying gelato over and over. It's just not good. It's not a good. It's very limited as an impersonation.
Juju
Hats back on.
Dan Le Batard
Yeah, you should, you should put yours back on. It's not a good look. It's what they're. Everyone's trying to avoid. Nobody wants their hat hair seen at after the Super Bowl. You're all disgusting.
Stugotz
Congratulations to Josh Allen for winning mvp. Neither. You know, there.
