[Jake]

Speaking of Sack, Twigged Berries could have said that.

[Dan]

I said that one.

[Juju]

That's good, though. Good try.

[Jake]

Steve Martin. Also, I know it was a reference back to earlier in the show.

[Zetna]

Just talk, man.

[Dan]

No, no.

[Zetna]

Not even throwing paper at you.

[Brad]

I just don't think it's worth it for Philip Rivers to come out, come out of retirement and and set the clock back five years just to take snaps in a few games for a Colts team that's definitely not making the playoffs. It doesn't make any sense to me. Let's bring Juju aboard. Hello, Juju. Good to see you. How you doing?

[Juju]

I'm pretty good, brother. I agree with the, with the fellas, man. He not coming back to reset the clock. He's trading in a maybe for a you damn right. Because if he come in with the coach this year and do anything positive, you're not holding that man out the hall of Fame. Hall of Fame him right now.

[Brad]

S. You have other other quarterbacks you've thought of that you would like to see get one last chance?

[Juju]

Oh, yeah, man. That definitely. As soon as I saw that come across, I was just like, y'.

[Zetna]

All.

[Juju]

I'm like, wait a minute, let me make sure this ain't one of them Luca Shaw's hacked account situations. And it wasn't. So I instantly thought, all right, I want to see a couple or other quarterbacks take one last ride. A yo and Oli.

I'm going with with my Boy, I. It's not possible right now. This is out of the realm of possibility. But I would love to see Jamis Winston get one more starting opportunity in the league.

I was rambling like hell. That was. That was a big ramble by me. And I'm cutting you off. Sorry about that.

[Brad]

Every year juju. Like, he. He kind of does get one last chance every year to start again.

[Juju]

No, I want to see it again. Keep them coming. Feed him like Ezekiel Elliot.

[Brad]

I kind of want to see him.

[Juju]

Retire and start working for Fox.

[Brad]

No, he's gonna be great on tv.

[Dan]

He is. But I want to love that guy.

[Juju]

Number five, Matt Ryan.

He was capital K. Cooked. He was terrible, right? Natty Ice. I see you, Number four. You said it earlier. Ryan Tannehill, man, he messed up his whole thing.

[Dan]

He could. He could have been the hero here if he had just signed up. Like, look, Tua's gonna get hurt. When Tua gets hurt, I'm gonna make him forget all about Tua. But in killing, he's not that good.

[Brad]

Would you rather have Ryan Tannehill starting this week or Tua?

[Dan]

Tua you thought about, though?

[Juju]

Number three. Fitz Magic. Ryan Fitzpatrick.

[Dan]

Only. Only if he tells us the truth about the water park.

[Juju]

Right? He did not like that.

[Dan]

You can't come clean then. I don't want to hear it.

[Juju]

Right. Number two. Come on, man. That's why I wore the jacket today. Big Tom Brady, man.

You need him to prove something, man. Yeah, I need him to prove it. Look, I. I think you the goat, but are you really for Sizzle the Dizzle Goat? Can you save the coast?

[Dan]

I thought you feed him Marcus Russell.

[Juju]

Nah, we gotta keep him where he at right now.

Pablo Torre. Hop on it. Hey, yo, Number one.

Number one, come on. The General. I don't even know why he ain't get the first call. Andrew Luck.

[Dan]

Too busy riding bikes?

[Brad]

I ride my bike to work.

[Juju]

Also. Earlier, you a mean, I don't think this got enough credit or attention. Could you please reiterate what you was iterating about the damn robots using blackmail? Because I was over here like, what the hell? We went back into something else.

[Dan]

We went into Philip Rivers.

Dan was like, oh, this is. This is too serious of a topic. I'm like, what? We just droned on and on about whether truck driver is going to lose their jobs. Meanwhile, the AI is blackmailing people. You guys just sat around.

[Juju]

Yeah, I'm scared, Brad. I really had a flash in my head, like, dang, this is actually happening. But I guess neither Here nor there. Congratulations also today to Asia Wilson being named Time magazine's athlete of the year.

[Brad]

Man's girlfriend. All right, all right.

[Juju]

Well, yes, sir, man. And this was supposed to be her down year. People was talking crap on her earlier in the season, regression year and all that, man. Finals mvp, woman of the year, man.

[Dan]

Let's go.

[Brad]

So speaking of starters, Juju Shedeur Sanders named Browns starter for the remainder of the season. Can I just add real quick like, you're welcome. Browns fans get all kinds of mad at Kevin Stefanski and what have you. Fact of the matter is they got a long look at Dylan Gabriel and now they're getting a long look at Chedor Sanders. Like, kind of seems like it worked out pretty good.

[Juju]

Yeah, yeah. But the reason I wanted to talk about this is because I wanted to take a page out of your buzz as Zastradamus. I'm me personally, I got Kevin Stefanski, the first coach to be out of the door in the NFL this season or in the off season. He's out of here. Don't even worry about it because his moves aren't consistent.

[Dan]

Juju, I'll do you one better. This is me doing reporting. Stefanski and the gm, they're out of here. The owner loves Shador and they were both on Shador. And so now Shadrook came in and started balling out. He's like, I knew it. You two clowns don't know what you're talking about. So he's going to let him finish and be balling out. You see that last game, his balls are out.

[Brad]

It's against Tennessee.

[Juju]

But yeah, okay, 360 yards is like.

[Dan]

It'S not balling out. Apparently, according to Chris Cody.

[Zetna]

There is a weird thing about Browns fans, though. I understand how they're thinking lose to the worst team in the league. We found our quarterback. Just keep file that one away. They, they, they lost to Tennessee and they're like, we.

[Dan]

They lost the Tennessee because he ain't put the ball in that man's hands for that two point conversion.

[Zetna]

That's how, that's what you do. You, you should be a Browns fan. That's exactly how you say it.

[Brad]

Juju. I know you, I know you want to talk about Pluribus and that's the new, the new Vince Village Vince Gilligan show. But can we do it like spoiler free because I still haven't watched it yet.

[Juju]

Okay. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I got you. What'd you say, Zetna?

[Jake]

That is a very, very, very good show.

[Juju]

I can dig it, Jake. I dig it. But, yeah, bruh, I'm here to say Pluribus, strike two.

[Zetna]

Oh, no.

[Jake]

Get out of here.

[Juju]

Look, I. I get it. The first couple of episodes to understand what was going on was amazing. But now I don't want to actually watch you make coffee, ma'.

[Dan]

Am.

[Juju]

I don't want. If you hit that voicemail one more. I don't.

[Dan]

That's.

[Sponsor Announcer]

Okay.

[Dan]

So Mike Fuentes is talking about this too. Like you don't want to listen to the whole voicemail message. I'm like, that's the bit, though. That's the joke, is that every time she pick up a phone, she's got to wait and they're inconveniencing her, but she don't.

[Juju]

Spoiler alerts, though.

[Dan]

Well, it's not really.

[Juju]

Spoiler possessed.

[Dan]

Okay, okay.

[Juju]

Just making sure. Sorry about that.

[Dan]

But either way, it's just like, I like it because it hammers home how irritating she is. And now how they are trying to irritate her. I must say, once again, reiterate for everybody, the gentleman from Mauritania, he's the only one who's got the right idea in this show. That brother has it all figured out.

[Jake]

Man is living.

[Dan]

Oh, my man. That's like, I got him. I won't lie. If you told me the premise before instead of mean, what would you do? I'm like, man, I don't know. With my family after watch, I'll be letting my man for more Italian. Get me Air Force One. We're going to Vegas.

[Juju]

Yes, sir, man, look, I agree, he living life, but like I say, bro, if I have to listen to that one voicemail again, I'm so sorry, Pluribus. I got other stuff to do because that's what it reminds me of. While I'm sitting here watching her pop a tape in the VCR and walk back to her seat and find the. The. The hdmi. Okay, I could be actually making my life better. I should be rapping. I need to get up and motivate myself.

[Dan]

Hey, I don't even know if I'm allowed to say this. I heard a juju track with Jason Madison that is fire. What you riding this one, man?

[Juju]

Come on, we got a lot of stuff, you know what I mean, under wraps right now. We just got some. You know, I'm trying to get free myself of all old ties, if you will, you dig? So that's the process right now that.

[Dan]

That bro juju.

[Brad]

We got a couple polls I think that we need to clean up Here. Yeah.

[Juju]

Oh, yes, sir. While I scramble to the polls, I want to remind everyone. Listen to football America. Oh, there it is. Dave Dam doing a great job over there, man, with the Fuente brothers. Lock it in. They got their own YouTube page as well, man. Check them out.

[Dan]

Still eating garlic rolls.

[Juju]

Does everyone hate the Office holiday party? 62% of the audience says yes, they do.

[Dan]

Dang.

[Juju]

I actually like a little holiday party.

[Dan]

I love the holiday party.

[Brad]

I mean, if there's booze flowing, I like that.

[Zetna]

Are you going to be at the holiday party?

[Brad]

Yeah, there's booze, right?

[Zetna]

I don't like it if you're.

[Dan]

Wait, he's not only going to be there. I see the plus one. Yeah.

[Brad]

I'm bringing my wife with me.

[Juju]

Yes, sir.

[Brad]

Come on.

[Dan]

You get to meet black white. Tamra.

[Juju]

Would you be in favor of 6pm starts across sports? 81% of the audience says yes, they will. I would too, man. I like to get it out of the way.

[Dan]

You know what y' all can do, Just move to the West Coast.

[Juju]

4Pm Starts what they do at best. And also before the last poll, I like to add, I did not know who McDreamy was before Mike explained this as. So you know, everybody don't know the. The caucus information that we should. You feel me?

[Zetna]

You know McSteamy, welcome to the caucaucus.

[Juju]

And last poll is Philip rivers insurable. 73% of the audience says no. And those are your polls.

[Dan]

That was Chris.
