That is the question. But we gonna start tonight in Golden State with the brother with some of the most luscious curls that I've ever seen. Underrated curls if you ask me. Brandon Podzemski. Salute to that brother's temp fate. I see you, brother. We gonna go over 12.5 with my brother Brandon P tonight against who they playing against? It doesn't matter because he going to get 12.5 instantly tonight.

[Dan Le Batard]

Juju. I got a question for you though. Gilly said that he could beat Pajinski one on one. Is that true?

[Juju Gotti]

We know my brother Gilly fresh off the fly Eagles. Fly W. He feeling invincible right now, but absolutely not be part of turn. He'll probably win him, I think about 11 to 0 if you ask me.

[Chris Cody]

They're playing the nets tonight, by the way.

[Juju Gotti]

Good juju. 12.5 in right now. Second leg of the parlay. We gonna travel all the way to the land of the stars. Hollywood Luca land. I'm gonna tap in with my brother. Oh, jizzle. OG Anunoby over 16.5 points tonight. They're going against the Lakers and they're gonna need everything. They. They gonna have the. The Knicks, they need a little bit. What is it? A little. A little spark, a little whatever. And OG he's definitely the guy to give it to him. You feel me?

[Chris Cody]

No. Carl Anthony Towns, I think out for personal reasons. So they need.

My boy gonna be he he all night long. You feel me? Lock him in or fade him.

[Dan Le Batard]

Juju. I have. I have a question for you. Because no one seems to be able to answer this question that's been lingering in my mind for several days now.

[Chris Cody]

You have to let it linger.

[Dan Le Batard]

What's in it for Travis Scott?

[Juju Gotti]

Right? I think everything is in it for Travis Scott. I think Travis Scott sees what Satin Benito AKA Bad Bunny has going on whenever he come out and his theme song goes and the crowd just go crazy. If you another star, you got to revel at that. And I think he's aiming for what Bad Bunny has in my opinion. Biggest hearts on the what about you brother?

[Dan Le Batard]

But why align himself with the final boss and John Cena and break the eardrum of Cody Rhodes who's been nothing but a role model as champion. He's never done anyone wrong, right brother?

[Juju Gotti]

I don't know man. Heels be healing these days. That's all I can think of because that was definitely a Bush lead move. But one of the heroes of U.S. americans and Cuba. Cuba as well.

[Dan Le Batard]

The Cuban American nightmare.

[Juju Gotti]

Come on man. You. You disrespecting two countries with that eardrum punch. Get better. Get better. Cody.

[Chris Cody]

I. I recently learned that Bad Bunny's video for Monaco cost $7 million.

[Dan Le Batard]

Chump change.

[Chris Cody]

$7 million. The Aura budget pretty much, yeah. It could have. It could have been an Oscar worthy movie with that much money. Hey, real quick Chris, give me the Saturday music because I.

[Dan Le Batard]

Listen to you real quick.

[Juju Gotti]

Start of the day, start of the day it is the start of the day Start of the day Start of the day it is the start of the day Start of the day Start of the day it is the start of the.

[Chris Cody]

Juju. This one's for you. Yesterday, the Celtics 128 to 118 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Derrick White had a career high 41 points and Peyton Pritchard had a career high 43 points. That was both of their first time eclipsing 40 points. It was the first time in NBA history that two players have had the first 40 point games at the same time in the same game. They both had nine plus threes. That's the first time two players have ever done that in the same game in NBA history. But most importantly and most shockingly, that is the first time in the eight billion year history of the Boston Celtics that they've ever had two players score 40 in a game.

[Juju Gotti]

Damn.

[Chris Cody]

Not Tatum and Brown. Not Pierce and Walker. Not Pierce and kg. Not Pierce and Ray Allen. Not Havlicek. And whoever not Russell and whoever not. Nobody not Bird and McHale. How crazy is it that the first time in NBA in Celtics history they have two players score 40 in the same game? It's Peyton Pritchard and Derrick White to add to that.

[Amin Elhassan]

Amin to add to that. According to optistats, only one NBA player all time has had over the course of his entire career in the same game or not. A 40 point game with 10 made threes, a 40 point game with 0 turnovers, a 40 point game on 70% shooting, a 40 point game off the bench and a 40.10 rebound 5 assist game. It was Peyton Pritchard who did all of it last night.

[Juju Gotti]

Double P's man. Salute to the NBA champions. Man, if you don't know now you know this, this isn't just like accoutrement. This isn't Christmas ornaments that are sitting right here next to me. These are the Stanley cup champion for Florida Panthers, the NBA champion Boston Celtics and this is the NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles who I like to partake in all three. So man, that's just more power to the brothers. Luda. Peyton Pritchard. Salute to the ball headed wonder. You did Derek White, man. Keep up the great work. I love that.

[Amin Elhassan]

What a year Juju's have. Yeah, great time to be a Panthers.

[Chris Cody]

[Chris Cody]

All right. So Juju, as I understand it, you have opinions on burgers and that's a place that not only us on this show, but people across the Internet have strong opinions when it comes to burger joints. But you have the definitive top five burger joints. Are there just five names or are there any Olis?

[Juju Gotti]

I mean I don't have any Olis this time because I just like to keep it short and sweet on these posters, chisels, you dig it. Number five. Just because all the hoods around America. What would I be without the ghetto? And what would I be without leaving the club at 2:30 in the morning? Wendy's burgers always hit the spots. You got to dig it strong.

[Chris Cody]

The inventor of the value. The value mean, right? The Dave the biggie bag man.

[Juju Gotti]

Salute to Dave Thomas.

[Dan Le Batard]

RIP Dave.

[Chris Cody]

Yep.

[Juju Gotti]

Throw one in the sky for My dog, Number four. Coming up next. Number four. It's a niche one, but I've been there before, so I'm putting it on the list. Culver's. Salute to Culver's. They got some good burgers.

[Amin Elhassan]

Never had.

[Chris Cody]

I've had Culver's one time in my life. They have them in Phoenix, but I've only been to Culver's once. They call it a butter burger. I won't lie. I thought it would be a lot more buttery than what it was. Thought it would be buttery.

[Juju Gotti]

I can dig that. Definitely entitled to that one. Number three. I went to Houston this summer, and it was amazing. Salute to Bun B. Salute to Pimp. Rest in peace, Pimp C. Trill burgers. You got to dig them.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, how was that?

[Juju Gotti]

Man, they are so soft. The buns make. Oh, man. Do yourself a favor and do yourself a favor.

[Chris Cody]

That's the. That's. Remember, if you remember, Tony, that's the burgers that James Harden was having instead of going to Joel Embiid's wedding.

[Juju Gotti]

Exactly.

[Chris Cody]

I might get. Might get that tonight.

[Juju Gotti]

And number one on the list, the illustrious Shake Shack.

[Amin Elhassan]

Oh, so good.

[Chris Cody]

What do you get for Shake Shack? What's your shake?

[Juju Gotti]

Sometimes I get burned with the peppers on it. Oh, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, the Smoke Shack. Yeah, the Smoke Shack on it with the peppers fire.

[Chris Cody]

This casual over here.

[Amin Elhassan]

I just get a cheeseburger.

[Dan Le Batard]

Listen.

[Amin Elhassan]

No, you don't. You get a Shack burger with cheese.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, the Smoke Shack Fire. That's the best. It's got to go double, though. Double Smoke Shack.

[Chris Cody]

I like the Shack stack. The one that has that portabella mushroom that has cheese.

[Amin Elhassan]

I'm doing it all wrong.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, you're out there. Just let me get a burger.

[Amin Elhassan]

I'll do a double sometimes. Can I get a double cheese truffle sometime? The portabella mushroom one is crazy.

[Chris Cody]

Crazy. It's crazy. It's a burger and then a fried Portobello mushroom that's filled with cheese so when you bite into it, it explodes with flavor.

[Dan Le Batard]

You get the kick. You get the kick from the.

[Amin Elhassan]

I want it all.

[Chris Cody]

Can I get it all together?

[Dan Le Batard]

Get it all. Let me have every burger in one.

[Chris Cody]

[Amin Elhassan]

Would you put that in a mark like shake, though?

[Chris Cody]

No, no, no, no.

[Amin Elhassan]

But you'll get a shake and shake Shack.

[Chris Cody]

Juju. You heard us earlier talking about the milkshake with the Philly cheesesteak in it. You wouldn't do that.

[Amin Elhassan]

Which one, Juju?

[Juju Gotti]

No, I wouldn't do that at all. But salute to Mart. Like you got to know the you Legend Mart Light shakes. Go get you one today as well. Speaking of the US, I'm gonna keep it in Miami right now. The nutritionist on the plane with LeBron and D. Wade, sir. Who the hell do you think you are? I mean, I think you, sir, are one of the most embarrassing things that's ever happened to the Heat franchise. You know the rules. You never touch a black man's radio, and you never touch a black man's cookies or the ice cream. I don't care if it's fruit by the foot, don't touch it. I'm LeBron Damn James. I see you sitting over there with your little Reeboks. Don't touch it. Oh, you or else Reeboks on. I don't know. I just.

[Dan Le Batard]

It might have been the league sponsor at that. At that area.

[Chris Cody]

By the way, you also did the same mistake that Dan did. I said, oh, so it's a he? And Dan was like, oh, no, that was just my misogyny. So you. You just made the nutrition say he too? We don't know. It might. Might have been a her.

[Juju Gotti]

Look, put Dwayne. Also put Dwayne Wade statues in the box and put whoever texting Dan's statues in the box. I'm a believe the legend. He says they were cookies. They was damn cookies. And that's the reason he left.

[Chris Cody]

What are the polls? What are the polls?

[Juju Gotti]

Right before we get to the polls. Same on page as well.

[Amin Elhassan]

He claimed it wasn't Riley.

[Dan Le Batard]

He claims it wasn't Riley. But we can't discount the fact that maybe this person might have more statues.

[Amin Elhassan]

He has one right behind me, right?

[Juju Gotti]

And before we get to the post, shame on Woody Page. You, sir, are a joker. That was the most racist thing I have heard. If and iffing was the worst racist shit thing I have heard all day. Until I heard, look at me, Leroy. And I was like, oh, no.

[Dan Le Batard]

There's so many black Louis to pick from.

[Amin Elhassan]

Dan asked me for those. I probably should have thought better about making them.

[Juju Gotti]

What was that? Neither here nor there.

[Chris Cody]

Sacrifice. Usually. Usually we push someone else under the bus. That time Chris said, I'll fold the sword.

[Amin Elhassan]

Well, it's Dan, all right.

[Chris Cody]

The polls.

[Juju Gotti]

Who is having the worst year? Nico Or Drake.

[Chris Cody]

That was from yesterday.

[Juju Gotti]

Yeah, right.

[Chris Cody]

Guys, do we have an answer?

[Juju Gotti]

This has never happened in the history of the show before. 2,810. 2,282 votes. 50. 50 down the middle. Wow.

[Chris Cody]

Wow.

[Juju Gotti]

It's gotta be Nicola, right?

[Chris Cody]

No, I was gonna. It's gotta be Drake.

[Amin Elhassan]

Cause it's Drake.

[Chris Cody]

I would call an idiot before I'll be called a certified. Yeah.

[Juju Gotti]

A PDF. Yeah. Neither here nor there is there a height requirement for you to consider someone a legend.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, this is on the heels. This is on the heels of Dan accusing Andrew Hawkins of not being a legend because.

[Amin Elhassan]

And Tyler Lockett.

[Chris Cody]

Andrew.

[Juju Gotti]

62% of the audience says no. There's no height requirement on this ride.

[Amin Elhassan]

Dan was so wrong about that. By the way, with Tyler Lockett, I have a stat here that someone sent me from 2019 to 2023 players with at least 400 receptions, 5, 000 receiving yards and 40 receiving touchdowns. Devonte Adams. Stefon Diggs. Tyree Kill. Travis Kelsey. Cooper Cup. Tyler Lockett.

[Juju Gotti]

I like him.

[Amin Elhassan]

Legend.

[Chris Cody]

Eat it, Dan Levitar. But I shouldn't say that because he probably will. What else, Juju? What else?

[Juju Gotti]

Is Tyler Lockett a legend? 74% of the audience says no, he's not.

[Amin Elhassan]

Losers. They're wrong.

[Chris Cody]

Losers.

[Amin Elhassan]

Seattle legend.

[Chris Cody]

Nope.

[Amin Elhassan]

If we put Seattle Legend on there, it would have been 92%.

[Chris Cody]

No, he's a legend. Man. You're being disrespectful again.

[Juju Gotti]

The audience is being disrespectful. Is 57 grand enough to pay a fall guy salute to my brother Tony? 70% of the audience says no, it's not enough.

[Chris Cody]

This is Tony applying for the assistant coach job. Assistant.

[Amin Elhassan]

Two.

[Chris Cody]

Assistant.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, it did not say two. Either way, it also did not say assistant head coach.

[Amin Elhassan]

Assistant to the regional legend.

[Juju Gotti]

Nice.

[Chris Cody]

57 grand as a side gig. Not bad side gig as a fall guy. Maybe not.

[Dan Le Batard]

Depends on what I'm falling for.

[Chris Cody]

Exactly.

[Dan Le Batard]

You'll banana in the tailpipe.

[Chris Cody]

I don't know. What else? Anything else?

[Juju Gotti]

Do you do the Chris Cody portion of the polls today? Are red potatoes the worst potatoes? 68% of the audience says no, they are not.

[Chris Cody]

Chris, you're alone on this one, brother.

[Juju Gotti]

It's the worst potato, right? Are red apples inferior to green apples?

[Chris Cody]

You're 100% on this one.

[Juju Gotti]

59% of the audience says no, they are not.

[Amin Elhassan]

That's one of the more surprising results I've ever heard on my life.

[Chris Cody]

I'm going to say this. I'm going to say this right now red apples, all they have is good pr. That's all they got. They got into the movies and product placement.

[Dan Le Batard]

Apple a day.

[Chris Cody]

I got to give my teacher an apple and they put a red apple on the desk, Right? An apple a day keeps the doctor away. It's always a red apple. Guess what? It's trash. It tastes like nothing. Get out of here. What else we got?

[Juju Gotti]

Best starbursts. Red, yellow, pink, or orange.

[Amin Elhassan]

Pink's gonna win.

[Juju Gotti]

51% of the audience says pink.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, they sell all pinks.

[Amin Elhassan]

I don't like pink. Everyone always says pink's the best.

[Chris Cody]

Red's the best. You got that sharp cherry taste.

[Dan Le Batard]

Red is great.

[Amin Elhassan]

I go orange the best.

[Juju Gotti]

Is there any better feeling in the world than a 23 year heater on the craps table? 75 of the audience says, no, there is not.

[Chris Cody]

Mike.

[Amin Elhassan]

I feel like after two straight years, I'm gonna be like, I gotta get away from this.
