[B]

So we're just talking about. You got head to head tonight. You got Yankees and Red Sox deciding game three. And you got Thursday Night Football. What are the ratings going to look like tomorrow? You think like Thursday Night Football is going to. It's. It's going to dominate it, right?

[C]

It's on Amazon prime, so it's hard to apples.

[B]

Apples. Oh, yeah, yeah. But if it was on regular TV and we get ratings, the Thursday Night Football is going to crush it, Right? That's so stupid.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, it airs the games air in the local market and you got two big local market. Probably the rating from San Francisco and LA alone might come close.

[B]

Juju, you got some Thursday Thunder for us?

[D]

Yes, sir. Before I get to Thursday Thunder, I would also like to apologize to Jeremy. Just because I'm here, I know that lawsuit.

[B]

Excuse me.

[E]

Makes you emotional.

[D]

All right? That lawsuit is going to be crazy. So I apologize.

[C]

He's joining my lawsuit. That is perfect. Another one.

[E]

That's right. It's Thursday Thunder and It's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. What up, Juju?

[D]

What up, y'? All? Two for three again last week, what a shame. But tonight we back. I'm taking the Los Angeles Rams first leg, minus eight and a half points. Bear with me, guys. I'm sick as a dog. Eight and a half points for the Rams tonight, second leg. I'm going puking the KUA for over seven receptions tonight. Yes, sir. Last leg, there's a lot of injuries going on with the San Francisco 49ers receiving corpse, so he's going to look to old reliable right now. And I think that my boy Jake Tanges has become a little bit reliable. So we're going with Jake Tanges over three receptions tonight in the game.

[B]

Get it then that puka Nakua number seems juicy.

[C]

Might have that in first half, right?

[B]

No kidding.

[E]

A lot of catches, though.

[B]

Yeah. All right. Good job there, Juju. Juju. We got a stat of the day, guys. Oh, this is part of the day.

[D]

Yes, sir. I got a stat of the day. Ashton Genty without the Michael Myers stance. You know, he's famous for that. 17.3 touches and 49 total yards. Aston Genty with the Michael Myers stance. 23 touches, 155 total yards and three touchdowns. Back to you guys.

[C]

Good sample. I like this.

[B]

Yeah, so we're talking less than 3 yards of carry versus like 7 yards of carry. All right, why don't we stand like Michael Myers? Pretty good, right?

[C]

You should do it right now.

[B]

Nah, man, I'm chilling in my bed.

[D]

Yo, I agree with you too. Says I want the Yankees to win. For some reason, I just would rather see them advance. More fun than the Boston Red Sox. Get them out of here.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, I. It also helps that I really strongly dislike the Boston Red Sox. Like, forget the Boston teams.

[E]

How'd this punishment go for you today, by the way?

[B]

I know it was okay. The hardest part was, was staying awake. Honestly, it's very comfortable. Here. You try laying down in the morning for four straight hours and tell me you're not going to get sleepy.

[E]

Sometimes I'll lay on my couch the way you're laying right now, on my side, and my entire right side will fall asleep.

[B]

Yeah, you gotta be careful. Yeah. You don't.

[E]

You gotta switch it up, gotta keep it fresh.

[B]

Yeah. Because that means the blood flow is not good when you get, you know, you start to fall asleep. You know what I'm saying? I don't know why I need to tell you that. Juju, what do you make of Brady? What do you make of Tom Brady as a broadcaster?

[D]

I think he definitely can do better listening to him. It's a bit rough, but I have that same opinion about Tony Romo and them boys. I think Tony Romo has ruined the broadcasting industry. And I'm saying this sounding like this today. Sick as a dog. I think he's ruined it. I don't like my broadcasters telling me what the flag is before the drama of the referee tells me what the flag is. Let the drama sit. It's 100 yard touchdown. Oh, it's a flag. And before we even go to the referee, Tony, here he go. Oh, that one's coming back, Jim. It's coming back.

[E]

I feel like Tirico is a big one that does this too. Tirico loves to tell you where the penalty is. Oh, that's holding, you know, coming back.

[B]

That's. It's a really interesting thing you just pointed out, Juju, because when. When a flag is thrown and the officials are getting together, you know what I hate? And I try not to see it, you know, I don't like when the players are surrounding them and the players start like clapping and pointing. No, no, no. I want the. I want the referee to announce it. I want to be surprised what the call.

[E]

Aaron Rodgers is a big. Hey, we're good here.

[B]

I hate that.

[C]

Stafford does that too though.

[D]

I hate that.

[B]

That shouldn't be allowed.

[E]

Although when it's my team, I'm happy.

[C]

I'm like, oh, enough with you and stuff. That shouldn't be allowed, by the way.

[B]

No, I'm a good barometer.

[C]

I can't believe you said to stink. Stop punching football.

[B]

That's right.

[D]

I believe you said that to him.

[B]

I thought he was gonna be on my side too, you know, as an offensive player.

[C]

Lineman.

[B]

Okay, but still he punches for a living. Punching is not supposed to be allowed.

[C]

To an offensive defensive line.

[B]

We're not boxing here.

[C]

Not in the trenches. That's the problem.

[B]

I've had my hand in the dirt.

[C]

You have not had your head.

[B]

I've had my hand. It's clean.

[C]

It's a clean hand.

[B]

Well, I didn't have my hand in the dirt today.

[C]

Those rings are clean.

[B]

I'm still in bed.

[C]

Clean hands.

[B]

Juju, you got some polls update for us? What do we got?

[D]

Yes, sir. Got a quick pose today. How do you like your coffee? Black or other? 41% of the audience said black.

[C]

I love the Danny Tanner jacket you got going on right now.

[D]

Juju. Thank you, brother. I also agree with you, Mike from earlier. I have never heard a third string quarterback interview in my entire life. So let's get over this shiftor stuff like he's a third string quarterback. Stay in your place.

[C]

It's a total byproduct of ESPN talking about him because they obviously run the numbers and know it's a topic that people are into.

[B]

Yeah, but he doesn't have to, he doesn't have to talk to the media. He is not obligated to talk to the media.

[C]

I think he, I think they have media availability. Is he's at his locker.

[B]

They do like one day a week. It's like, okay, the quarterbacks are available, but he could just be like, yeah.

[C]

I think this is the one day a week where they stand by the locker and the assembled media comes in. Look, trust me, I get the Shador fatigue, guys just asking questions. He's not asking to be a part of this news cycle. There are plenty of times that maybe you could, you could poke holes in that. I think since he's been in Cleveland and the regular season started, the guy's been handling it, at least in front of a media. In front of the media like a pro. He's having a little fun there. The two last times we talked about Shador's reactions. He's having fun. It's lighthearted and not disrespectful. Much ado about nothing.

[D]

Right? And look at his haircut. You know he's a Sanders. That thing is usually sharp.

[E]

That's what Roy was asking. Roy was wondering.

[C]

Cornrows. He's got. He's got. He's undoing braids. That was. You can tell he's a Sanders because already Father Time creeping in on the sides.

[D]

But he's locked in on football right now because look at that hair. Goodness gracious. The next poll for. For Dan showing that Tyreek healing injury over and over this week. We had to punish him from the audience. And salute to the audience, Jojo, Billy Squibbix, Becky Boo, Jeremiah W. Cloud Feet, jay Fiero and Dabrell 21. What should dance punishment be from the listeners? Wear a wig. I'll show. Hand and mayo. I'll show. Wear a tank top. I'll show. Or his kink Halloween costume.

[B]

He love that.

[D]

56% of the audience says hand and mayo all show so damn. Before the year is out. Get your mayo on, bro. And those are your polls.

[B]

Thanks, Juju.

[D]

Thank you, guys.
