[Dan]

Where's that giant Jimmy John's giant pillow that you had yesterday? Because they said not a pillow.

[Host 2]

It's a bag of chips.

[Dan]

Okay, giant, giant excuse. Well, a giant bag of chips that looks like a pillow. Yes, it's good work by you.

[Juju]

Only 100 calories here.

[Dan]

So this bag I have still not been. Been able to shake my Iceman mistake. I am still suffering from. Tell us about the life jujugati. Please soothe me. I'm sure the Internet was very kind about my vulnerability and my awkwardness.

[Host 3]

Before we get to that, I just like to throw a celebration.

[Host 2]

Yes.

[Host 3]

Thank you to Jimmy Johns. I see you. Holy moly. Is finally sponsored, man. Oh, my goodness. Salute. Big salute to Jimmy John's. If you're out there, you're hungry right now, I suggest you go get you a sub asap, pronto.

[Host 2]

That turkey avocado sandwich they have is divine.

[Host 3]

Oh, yes. Club Lulu Y or the Italian nightclub.

[Juju]

That's my favorite. I love the Italian nightclub.

[Host 3]

Hey, me too, dog. Me too. But, yeah, you know how we usually give out $2 finds? I think we should give $2 to whoever put the Iceman in Dan's notes because it made everything worth it today. Oh, my God.

[Dan]

Way to go.

[Host 3]

Yes.

[Dan]

The best move is always make Dan look like a fool. Yes. A universal joke that will pay till the end of time.

[Host 3]

Yes, sir. And also salute to Jason Granados, too, man. The YouTube breaks the the flashbacks. Oh, my God. They've been chef's kiss. The whole crowd been loving it, man. I think the the only question to ask you, Dan, right now as we look at the beautiful room. Look at him. Oh, my God. My brother Danny. I got one question for you, Dan. How. What's the hardest part of the life?

[Dan]

What is the worst part of the life? What is the worst.

[Host 2]

Dad.

[Dan]

Remember?

[Greg]

Remember when you asked that?

[Host 3]

What an idiot.

[Dan]

Do you know how hard it is to be the idiot? And today we have a giant photo of Greg and Mike nose to nose. And incidentally, Greg still wants to defend. He spent the entire break looking up why it is he shouldn't be using Eskimo anymore and he wants to double down on it.

[Greg]

I mean, I don't mean to insult anybody. You know, technically I want to say the indigenous people of the Inuit nation or whatever, but I didn't think.

[Juju]

Mouthful.

[Dan]

That's not respectful.

[Juju]

It is a mouthful. He's right, it's a mouthful.

[Dan]

But the or whatever, it makes it more of a mouthful to make it the or whatever there.

[Greg]

No, honestly, I referenced Eskimo to support you and the iceman nickname because Eskimos are associated with ice and the great northwest and all that stuff. So that's the only reason I did that. But mean, mean no disrespect to any people. I'm a lover, not a hater kind of thing. That kind of thing.

[Dan]

You can just apologize. It's okay. But you want to.

[Greg]

Anyone who I may have offended.

[Host 2]

Oh, boy.

[Greg]

I'm sort of sorry.

[Dan]

All right, Juju, any other thoughts on today's show or anything from the week? We have missed you for the post games the last couple of days. You've done an exceptional job cover covering the unrivaled. Thank you to all of you who suggested bombarded me with us being bought and paid for by John Skipper's investment in unrivaled. It is not that juju has loved.

[Host 2]

We just love good sport around here.

[Host 3]

No one good follow, good follow. Also Kristen Graceler, Rise Rise Gold. They've been doing a fantastic job all year covering the unrivaled league even though David Sampson hated on their commercial. That's another thing. David Sampson, you have a whole segment committed to you every year, every, every week where you get to just tell us how good nothing personal is. Let the ladies have their promo commercial. We don't have to do that to them. They've been doing a great job. Salute to the unrivaled champions. The rose. The long in the tooth. No more Chelsea Gray. She slayed all the haters. Oh my God. And I seen my sister Jessica and Lehman out there. What? What a perfect cherry on top to the unrivaled season.

[Dan]

What. What is the critique of the Sampson segment today? Anything good or bad come out of that, brother?

[Host 3]

We need to start putting some trigger warnings on David Sampson segments because just for meanly Pants, like, so you mean to tell me if I pay hundreds of dollars to go to the baseball game and my mama texts me, emergency text. And in that text, a fireball cracks my cranium. He's the first thing he rushes into is say, oh, your fault.

[Host 1]

Well, first of all, Juju, those tickets don't cost hundreds of dollars.

[Host 2]

Marlin, seriously, they suck.

[Greg]

The Marlin should pay you to go to those games.

[Host 3]

That's kind of his play.

[Dan]

Where Greg Cody would be batting cleanup.

[Greg]

Exactly. They may as well sign me. Looking at their lineup.

[Juju]

If you're a practice squad, though, if.

[Host 2]

You were a good hitter, you'd bet first or second.

[Greg]

Though it's probably true. I heard that the best hitters bet second. Now, I don't know where that wild rumor started.

[Dan]

What else do you have for us, Juju, today in the way of complaints?

[Host 3]

Man, the complaints. One complaint has been hitting my email, my text message, my DMs all weekend. Spoiler alert alerts with this show, y'all. We have to do a slight better job. This is how you do a spoiler alert. Hey, guys, I'm about to talk about White Lotus. So if you haven't watched this week's episode, fast forward 15, 15, 15, about two minutes, give a pause, and then you say how brilliant you think buddy was in the monologue. Then you say, I saw a pp. Then you say all the things you want to say. You opened the show with now that's how it's done gemstones. He's like, me and my wife had it cued for later. So I'm talking about. I at least got 15 to 20 people saying, Bro, you gotta tell Dan for me, do not spoiler alert this stuff. Back in the day, we had a segment on this. Stu guys was asking when is the proper time to talk about Game of Thrones. Got. And we landed on about Thursday was about politically correct to talk about that Sunday's episode. You dig it?

[Dan]

I have to get used to this because I thought we were a live show that talked about the things that had just happened. I thought that's how we were doing this. I must be some sort of dinosaur trying to do something that reacts to whatever it is just happened. That's not how we're doing it anymore.

[Host 2]

Maybe we'll play this before spoilers.

[Advertiser 1]

Spoiler alert.

[Host 4]

Sorry, but we have to react to the sports that are live. And oftentimes that means we can't get to the scripted content that is also airing on the same day. Right?

[Host 1]

So I thought Billy's spoiler alert. Wednesday was a good idea.

[Host 3]

Yeah, I think so too. At least Wednesdays because, you know, people go on dates on Sunday nights. People work on Sunday nights. People work early Sunday mornings sometimes. We can't expect them to see everything we see, you know what I mean? Without blessed jobs. So just respect to the audience. They definitely had a big problem with that, though.

[Dan]

I will take under advisement polls, please. I will try to do better. We will see. I was defiant yesterday. We will see.

[Host 2]

I'm looking at your eyes right now. It doesn't seem like you're going to try that.

[Host 1]

Whose apologies worse, Stan's, Greg's or Draymond Greens?

[Dan]

I will try to do better.

[Greg]

Yeah. Anybody who says I will take that under advisement doesn't give a.

[Host 3]

Also, before the pose, we got to put a little bit more respect on Theo Pinson's name. I heard you say they giving everybody podcast Theo pencil National champion Theo Penson went undrafted and still had a five year NBA career. Theo Pinson cast, that's less role model levels. You feel me? We salute people with way less on their resume than that. You feel me? So salute to the big dog, Theo Pence. And I see you.

[Dan]

I didn't really get from anybody other than the nominee of us a podcast that would be less listened to than Byron Scott is what it is that Chris Cody got in the mix.

[Host 2]

I just was like. When I saw that, I was just well.

[Dan]

But I wanted other nominees there. I wanted other actual nominees because Juju's right. That's a slight of Theo Pence and Theo Pinson has done something that not all of us have done. But Chris Cody's reaction to us playing Theo Pinson sound was. Who's Theo Penson? That was a legitimate question. He was asking the Iceman.

[Host 2]

No, not the Iceman.

[Dan]

Let's play a sound here from Tony. Earlier in the show.

[Host 2]

This was like mid sentence. I don't know if it was a breath or a witty situation.

[Dan]

Let's play it against the slurp. Let's what? What the Chris Whittingham slurp was. He was just gulping a bubble of air. Oh, that's aggressive.

[Host 2]

I mean, that's not. Nothing's gonna beat this.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Oh, wow.

[Dan]

But Tony has, you know, second place, third place in the slurp category in the last couple of weeks.

[Juju]

It's more of a spitball.

[Host 2]

Like you're talking and like something gets caught in your throat.

[Juju]

I need the full context of that. I don't know what that is.

[Dan]

All right, we'll see if we can find it. It sounded like you're slurping saliva, like you got some saliva in your mouth. That's what it sounds like.

[Host 2]

You can hear the end of it. A little breath, like a little air. Coming up.

[Host 3]

On my boy Tony. He's up on my dog. I don't know what happened.

[Juju]

Juju, we need the full context of what's going on here. This could be somebody else's noise that they're attributing to me.

[Dan]

That sounds like you. It's not. No. You have not been framed by others on the show.

[Juju]

Wouldn't be the first time.

[Dan]

What do we got for polls today, Juju?

[Host 3]

We only had one poll that I put up today, so I'm gonna recap the polls for the last couple of days. We also had one questionable poll, which, you know, sometimes we say stu in our. In our show, but when you read it online, it doesn't read as well. You know what I mean? That's why I'm more so of like a call person. I would love a two minute call versus a text message because I want you to hear me put the right fastest on the right syllables. You did good. So we're gonna go to the poll for Monday. If you had 10 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups every day for 10 years, would they disgust you?

[Host 2]

It was shocking to learn about Coachella.

[Host 3]

66% of the audience says yes, they would discuss them should they do playoff golf at a putt putt course? 82% of the audience says yes, they should. Do you remember phone. Do you remember the phone number of your original home? 88 of the audience says yes, they do.

[Greg]

Wow. Surprised?

[Host 3]

Do you know any phone numbers? 86% of the audience says yes, they do.

[Dan]

What's the over under on that? If I asked the audience and we came back with a median, I'm guessing under on five. I put the number on five. Do you bet over? Under. The average person knows five telephone numbers.

[Host 2]

I was gonna put it at three and a half. I feel like five is a lot nowadays. Maybe I'm wrong.

[Dan]

You think it's too high?

[Greg]

I think everybody knows the immediate family, you know, the wife, the kids.

[Dan]

No. If you've been grandfathered in on having to know it, maybe, but I don't. I'm guessing there's a whole generation of people who don't know any phone numbers. Why would they have to?

[Host 3]

I put it at one and a half, 1.5 with that one being their phone number.

[Dan]

We have some context here from Louis, who's always trying to help Tony as an ally. So let's. Let's see the video in the context that Tony requests.

[Juju]

They throw a pass, gets bobbled.

[Dan]

That seems like it's edited. That doesn't seem that that's fair in.

[Host 4]

Any Sound of the pass.

[Juju]

That's the sound of the pass hitting the. They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times. They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times.

[Host 2]

Wait, so it actually is better throw.

[Juju]

A pass, gets bobbled eight times because.

[Host 2]

It wasn't just a hiccup. It was him, like, doing he throwing.

[Juju]

The hail Mary for Alabama state. Pass gets bobbled eight times.

[Host 2]

It was presented to me like, hey, we got him there.

[Greg]

We got he.

[Host 2]

Like he had a hit.

[Juju]

Imagine that, Dan the haters framed.

[Dan]

He was indeed framed.

[Host 1]

Is that what the pass sounded like?

[Juju]

Yeah, because when you throw it out of your hands. Exactly. Put some mustard on.

[Host 2]

I'm more of a.

[Juju]

That's the sound of mustard hitting. You know when. When you squeeze it out of the bottle and you're really.

[Host 3]

Yeah. Thank you. Does everyone have the sniffles now? 82 of the idea says yes, they do.

[Dan]

That's disconcerting. It's disconcerting.

[Host 3]

Those are your posts. Thanks. Juju for show. Look, the questionable poll I didn't read was Is the key to March Madness. White guys. We don't need to come back either way.

[Host 4]

Admit it. Admit it.

[Juju]

You see a backdoor cut from a guy from Yale, you're like, yeah, hell.

[Host 3]

Yeah, I'm locked in.
