[Dan]

All right, it's time for Thursday thunders, presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Juju]

Go ahead, Juju. Yes, sir. Back at it again with the white vans. You dig me? First leg, Bijan Robinson over 16.5 rush attempts tonight. You know he, he, he. They make their best player, man. Drake London out and he gonna be a good old Kirk out of a lot of tough and tight situations tonight. Lock that in. Get it.

Second leg, a mecca Abuka. Four catches, man. He gonna get them four. Because Mike Evans is back. If you did not know. And Chris Godwin is on the other side. If you did know. You feel me and baiting them. They need to win these games, man. They need to win these. So you can you bottom dollar on the booker getting on four tonight and the last leg. I already mentioned the kid. Return of the mic head is return of the mic. Mike Evans back tonight. Four catches. Lock it in Thursday. Thunder, baby. Crown is yours.

[Zaz]

I feel like this is like the beginning of the end possibly for the Buccaneers if the Bucks lose this game tonight to the Falcons. Like, I don't know, it kind of feels like they're, I mean, I know they're not done. They would, they would still be, you know, the same amount of wins as Carolina, but they're kind of cooked.

[Meme Man]

Like if they lose tonight, they're cooked because the Falcons are not good. Right? They're missing some of their best players. And on top of that, Carolina's been playing well, but the. The form that the Bucks had at the beginning of the season, like those Bucks are nowhere to be found.

[Zaz]

Bucks are a big disappointment at this point, I think. Right?

[State Farm Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah, you're absolutely right about that. The Mike Evans thing will be interesting because, yeah, a book is production kind of tailed off when he thought he was already set to go as wide receiver one. But that also timed up with an injury that he hasn't been the same since. He sustained that trying to play through that. So I don't think it's all on Mike Evans.

[Zaz]

Juju, you got a top five for us here today.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. Man, y' all was talking earlier. Dan was. You know how he pit each other, everybody against each other saying that Pablo had a bad voice.

It made me think who are the top voices in sports media that I can think of, by the way, Sidebar. Pablo, it's not that your voice is bad. No, it don't matter if you're a firefighter, an astronaut, who. It don't even matter. Like nobody want to hear you tweet about how cool your job is, bro. Like if you or how hard it is. Like nobody want to hear me tweet about how I come into the post game show with topics, a list of topics, and y' all be done talked about them and I'm talking about. Y' all talk about every topic I wake up and put on my sheet. Nobody want to hear me talk about that. Nobody want to hear me say that's why I come up with all these top five lists because y' all talk about all my topics. You feel me? If I tweet that, I'm gonna get buried.

[Jason Jackson]

Juju, you know why no one gets upset at you though? It's not because you don't complain about it. It's because you have a cool voice. If you have Pablo's voice, people be all on your head, man.

Listen to that sound. Like in Star Wars.

[Juju]

That's exactly how we sounded. Number five, Rebecca Lobo.

Come on, man, you got to know sis voice. Pure man. Pure voice. Number four, Dicky V Did by town.

[Jason Jackson]

I don't know about that one, baby.

[Juju]

Number three is a two piece iron and Noah Eagle.

[Jason Jackson]

Same voice.

[Juju]

Great voices, man. Number two, the goat. Kevin Harlan.

And number one, come on, man, the all time great John Madden.

[Meme Man]

No spiral deedees on that list.

[Dan]

The jigs.

[Jason Jackson]

What about Summerall Gannon?

[Meme Man]

Gannon. Gannon.

[Jason Jackson]

What about Gus?

What about Marvelous Marv Albert?

[Zaz]

I would just name it broadcasters.

[Dan]

He's just trying to test limited him.

[Meme Man]

What about Tony Romo?

[Dan]

Touchdown Miami, My favorite actually.

[Meme Man]

Back to you, Josh.

[Zaz]

Juju, you watched the NBA cup last night?

[Juju]

Yeah, man, that was, it was fire. I like it, man. And I also agree with a meme man from like you said earlier. As a person who stay up to two in the morning to finish watching some of these games, it'd be so disrespectful how some of these sports reporters and, and people overlooked how good the Thunder are and what Phoenix is out there doing on their little win streak and how actually scrappy the Blazers are like if you take a look at them. That's why these small market teams be kind of staying small market because the big market guys, sports media, they don't pay attention to talk about them, you feel me? So I feel like if we could talk about them more, we could increase the markets just by word of mouth. You feel me?

[Jason Jackson]

Zaz, you know about that. Denny Avdo.

[Zaz]

Yeah.

[Jason Jackson]

Juju all star.

[Juju]

Oh yeah, he all started right now.

[Dan]

Yeah. You did?

[Juju]

Yeah, absolutely. He, they. If you rely on him down the stretch as, as good as two minded Camara and everybody else is over there, you rely on Danny.

[Jason Jackson]

I think Zaz is, is, is fronting right now.

[Zaz]

What hit top two? Danny Abdia. Of course I know who he is.

[Jason Jackson]

See like that's the kind of, that's, that's the kind of thing that made me know you a fraud.

[Zaz]

Yeah, right.

[Jason Jackson]

Because you just, you're doing that, you're doing the thing where you just throw out like things about him.

[Zaz]

That's why I know who he is. I keep track of him. He's the only Israeli player.

[Jason Jackson]

He's on the newsletter.

[Zaz]

Come on now. That's right.

[Jason Jackson]

News and notes.

[Zaz]

Active Jewish athletes. Danny avd. That's right. All right, in, in. In honor of the NBA cup last night, Juju, I got an MVP of the day.

[Jason Jackson]

I want to know.

[Dan]

Be.

[Juju]

Of the day.

[Zaz]

Now there were only two games last night. All right? But if we're gonna have a conversation about the mvp.

You may be saying, zaz, the Lakers lost last night, all right? Luca Duncich was great, but you haven't picked a guy as MVP of the day on a losing team. And that day is not going to be today either. The MVP of the day. We better have a conversation about Stefan castle. Come on, son. 30 points last night, 10 rebounds, 10 of 14 from the floor. No. Victor Wembanyama and the spurs advance to the NBA cup semifinals. If we're going to talk about mvp, better be having a conversation about Stephon Castle.

[Meme Man]

I was trying to have one with you, like, two weeks ago.

[Nick Wright]

The spurs have now joined the Miami Heat as the only teams in the NBA with two players on Zaslow's MVP of the day list. Victor Wembanyama and Stefan Castle. Join Norman Powell and Jaime Hakus.

[Dan]

Junior Kalal.

[Zaz]

No.

[Jason Jackson]

Stefan Castle. 30 points in 26 minutes, by the way. He's really good. Plus 16.

[Dan]

He's really good.

[Jason Jackson]

Incredible.

Give me more, more, more. He's really good.

[Dan]

Awkward layout. That we do. All right.

[Jason Jackson]

This thing is long.

[Juju]

Of the day.

Yes, sir. Also, I wanted to ask y' all about some breaking news. Kind of breaking news, pretty much. This is a mic conversation. After learning of Notre Dame's memorandum of understanding that grants the Irish preferential playoff access starting next year, athletic directors in other leagues are threatening to freeze Notre Dame out of future schedules. What you think about that, bruh?

[Dan]

You want to do the independent thing? It has its drawbacks. Occasionally you're gonna have to win your two difficult games, or at least one of them. And if you go out a partner, like, if that's how Notre Dame is gonna treat a partner, and if I see Miami make the playoffs in which they barely just got it over the line and barely got credit for beating them, this is not a win win proposition. I can schedule somebody else that goes into my stadium and helps me move tickets. Like enjoy making the College Football Playoff when you only got Eastern Michigan's on your schedule. That's my attitude towards it.

[Jason Jackson]

In this universe, there's only one absolute everything. Free.

[Zaz]

Juju. Let's update some polls.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. Man. And before I update the polls, another congratulations to our brother Jerry. Emmy, man. Another one, brother. Come on, man.

[Zaz]

Do you understand what he did there?

[Nick Wright]

Yeah, because I got three of them.

[Dan]

Now, is this a team thing or an individual?

[Nick Wright]

Oh, it's a team thing.

[Dan]

Okay. Have you ever won one on your own?

[Nick Wright]

Yeah, for a show.

[Dan]

I was co hosting the high school one.

[Nick Wright]

Not the high school one. Actually, we didn't win an Emmy for that.

[Dan]

Crazy as that is, I'm just trying to find a way that I can undercut your achievements.

[Nick Wright]

Yeah, I mean, it's the way to do it.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Nick Wright]

Regional Emmy.

[Jason Jackson]

I tell Jason Jackson this all the time. He has like 17,000 of them in his background. I'm like, bro, those don't count.

[Dan]

Oh, they don't count.

[Nick Wright]

They're still Emmys.

[Dan]

No, those are Remy's.

[Juju]

Is it nippy outside or is it nipply outside? 70% of the audience says it's nippy. Outside.

[Nick Wright]

Yeah, Mike. All right. You try to win one.

[Dan]

I'm like Nick Wright on this. If I wanted to, I could. Okay, I could win a Remy.

[Nick Wright]

All right.

[Dan]

I could win a Remy if I wanted.

[Nick Wright]

Good luck. Go ahead and do it.

[Dan]

I could. You try to be the greatest. You try to do that.

[Nick Wright]

You try to do that. That's fine. You go ahead.

[Zaz]

You try.

[State Farm Sponsor Voice]

You could do it.

[Zaz]

You know who wins?

[Nick Wright]

People like me.

[Jason Jackson]

Juju.

[Meme Man]

What does that mean?

[Jason Jackson]

Do you think the people are saying.

[Nick Wright]

Exactly what you think it means?

[Jason Jackson]

Tonight's forecast, a freeze is coming.

[Juju]

I think they say.

I think they saying. You should watch more Thursday Night Football, brother, because I got two words for you.

[Jason Jackson]

Unk.

[Nick Wright]

Bo.

[Juju]

It happened and it was spectacular. Tonight, everything hell freeze is over. And I watch. Does everything hurt more in the cold? 97 of the audience says, yes, it does.

[Jason Jackson]

Mercy. I'm afraid my condition has left me cold to your pleasant mercy.

[Juju]

As I told Lady Freeze before I pulled her plug, this is a one woman show.

It's the plural of mammoth. Mammoth. 73 of the audience says, yes.

[Jason Jackson]

Who said that line, by the way? Was it, let me guess. Plant girl? Vine lady? Hand over the diamond Garden gal or I'll turn you into mulch.

[Juju]

Do old guys root for old guys in sports? 93% of the audience says, yes, they do.

[Jason Jackson]

And if they don't, their bones would turn to ice. Their blood will freeze in my hands.

[Nick Wright]

No.

[Juju]

Is the way to get a big three. To get a big three.

93% of the audience says, yes, it is.

[Zaz]

Well, those other 7% think, let's kick some ice.

[Juju]

And last poll is Sam Presti. Like Richard Pryor in Superman 3. 75% of the audience says, yes, he is. And those I oppose the Iceman coming.
