[Mike]

Against the spread against the spread against.

[Zaz]

The spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings the Crown is yours.

[Tony]

Mike, kick us off.

[Mike]

Okay. So spread. I like the Titans at home plus six LA Rams crossing country ramp. I thought Tennessee's defense was actually really encouraging over there. I gotta think a wide receiver's gotta be making plays. Hopefully we've learned that Cam Ward year over year, coachable, improves. I think he sees that film and understands where he hurt his team where he can get better. And I think Tennessee is going to be fighting hard at home. Too many points. I'm going to take the six.

[Tony]

Did a single player on the Canes last year complain that the ball was thrown too hard?

[Mike]

No, it was weird how that happened. Oh, cancer spread.

[Zaz]

Tony, I'm going to stay with Thursday night Football. Last week I gave you guys Dallas plus eight and a half too many points for the opening game. But I'm going back to Thursday night football. We got the commies going into Lambeau Field. I love Jaden Daniels. I think everybody, including Vegas saw the packers dismantle the Lions and they're giving a little bit more juice. I think the Washington commander is going to go in, keep the game close. 3 1/2 is the line. Little hook there I like. So I'm going to take the commies one plus three and a half against the Packers.

[Tony]

How you doing, Juju? Good to see you.

[Juju]

Pretty good, brother. How you doing, man? Good to see you.

[Tony]

Doing all right. Doing all right. So hey, Dan's penalties.

[Juju]

The.

[Tony]

The listeners were. Had some thoughts over there. What were they saying?

[Juju]

Yes, sir, we gotta. Today is the day I put a stop. Put my foot down. Moving forward from the day we we are going to start having Dan penalties interactive with the audience. I'mma put up a poll of like 4 Dan approved penalties and we going to let the audience vote on them because he opened the show today stirring 9 o' clock in the morning. First thing we did before we open our eyes, before we get the. The crust out of our eyes. He already stirring audience wanted the penalty for that. He kept telling Diana to go faster. News flash, buddy. Fine. For that he told Tony at the top of his lungs to off. Excuse me. You could have told Tony that. Yes, he definitely needed to off. But Tone, fine. You feel me? He said we might need Josh Allen to get hurt. It's like fine. And then he asked Diana, why aren't you freaking out about more stuff? Fine. We got to get him under control. So moving forward, we're going to put up a poll for the audience to vote on what fine should Dan have to do today.

[Tony]

Okay. All right. That sounds like something Juju. New York Post said that the. You know, we've seen all these pics from the US Open, the videos, you know, the celebrities, they're all also they're huge tennis fans. New York Post said that the Uber situation at the US Open has been a nightmare.

[Juju]

Huh? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. A nightmare. And I can only imagine. So it made me think what are the worst places to catch an Uber from? So I made my top five places that you do not want to catch an Uber from. Starting right now. Oli. The U.S. open. I'm taking their word for it. I believe you guys. Number five, Madison Square Garden. Really? Forget about it.

[Mike]

Just take. Literally just take a cab or walk or Take the train.

[Tony]

I get the train. I use that strategy for almost every sporting event. I'm walking.

[Mike]

I'm walking. I'm walking, I'm walking.

[Tony]

You gotta walk. You gotta at least walk, like, a handful. Like, walk half a mile and then call.

[Mike]

That's right. That's what I mean. Right? Let me get out of this surge zone.

[Juju]

Number four, any Chris Brown concert. Why is that? Hang it up. Too much going on. You're not gonna find your Uber. Everyone else is calling Uber at the same time. They don't have the same tact. Chris Brown fans aren't as. As savvy. As savvy as us older people. They call it as soon as he's finished. And. Nah, you don't want to get caught up in that. All right, number three, lax. You got to catch a Uber. You got to catch a bus to another bus to a Uber, to a shuttle.

[Mike]

Don't make me bus to a lot to call an Uber. No, I walk out, I call Uber. Oh, you're at. That's how that should move.

[Zaz]

Oh, I'm at zone 48.

[Mike]

Which one's that?

[Zaz]

It's a mile away.

[Mike]

Start walking, Atlanta. Quit moving it. Oh, I'm Atlanta. Atlanta needs to stop moving. Oh, I'm at zone 642.

[Zaz]

I only have to walk 500 zones.

[Mike]

And you follow the signs, and the signs lead you to nowhere.

[Tony]

I'll tell you about that. Atlanta Airport. You get off your plane, it takes you an hour to then get out.

[Mike]

Of the airport, and you look for the signs, and it's pointing in the opposite direction of where the lot actually is. Does nobody have this feedback for them?

[Juju]

Number two, any national championship. It doesn't matter.

[Mike]

Every time I'm trying to like that I didn't drive to a sporting event and I don't have a ride, and I gotta get an Uber. I just look to whoever I'm with. I'm like, I guess we live here now, because there's just no way. There's just no way we get one.

[Juju]

Number one, the number one worst place to Uber from ever in the history of the world, The Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Get that out of here. You gotta walk three miles to the Uber zone, then call your Uber from the three miles down the road. It's just. It's chaos. I've never had a good time leaving the Dolphins game, nothing.

[Tony]

I'm sure I'll work out for the World cup next year.

[Mike]

Yeah, Juju, you call them and you're like, just meet me at the. At the Walmart. Meet me at the Walmart. Meet me at the Sonic Beach.

[Juju]

I like it. I gotta get a hip to that. Also, Zaz, I would like to ask you, where were you when you first saw your first episode of pti? Because I'm calling BS that you don't remember. Kind of, sorta. I think you pulled it out of your mirror.

[Tony]

No. 100%. I was at school at UCF. I think it was early in my sophomore year, because like I said, I think I was 19 and I lived in a townhouse back then. I remember I was in my townhouse. It's exactly where I was. That would have been the year 2000. If that's when PGI started, then I'm definitely telling the truth.

[Juju]

Hey, I stand corrected. My boy had the facts and the receipts on his turn. Tony Tuesday. Also, I think Bert Kreischer may have been giving us a little bit whenever he said that this conversation he had with Stuart Scott was the most intriguing conversation he ever had in his entire life. I'm calling the chickens on that one as well. Sorry, Bert. Oh, Jazz.

[Zaz]

I'm seeing here The Internet says PTI's.

[Juju]

First episode, October 22, 2001.

[Tony]

That's fine. I lived in that town for a couple years.

[Juju]

2000.

[Tony]

Just making sure. That's fine.

[Mike]

That's when you went to Santa Fe, right?

[Tony]

No, I was at UCF at the time.

[Mike]

That was Santa Fe. Nope.

[Tony]

You went to school.

[Mike]

You went to Santa Fe after ucf?

[Tony]

Nope. I would never even be able to tell you where Santa Fe is because I've never been to that school.

[Mike]

You know what? Next week is as bullshit. You know what next week is? It's Gator week.

[Tony]

I know.

[Mike]

Guess I went to Santa Fe.

[Tony]

Not me.

[Mike]

Next week.

[Tony]

You did not. This guy.

[Mike]

You want those tickets?

[Tony]

Did I go to Santa Fe while I'm sitting next to you in the 72 Club?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tony]

Then maybe I did.

[Juju]

So Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons, right? Now, his agent has dropped him. His agent said that he dropped him as a client after a decision that occurred after the point guard was sent signals that. Sending signals that he wasn't interested in whatever came from the Knicks situation. Like he was reportedly supposed to sign with the Knicks and he showed no interest at all. I think we may have seen the last of Ben Simmons on the basketball court. It just may not be such a bad idea. You feel me? He got a lot of money and hope. Wish that brother's mental health a lot of prosperity.

[Mike]

It is pretty crazy in retrospect how worked up we Got around a guy that couldn't shoot in a league that was kind of geared toward shooting.

[Juju]

Yeah. The next LeBron.

[Mike]

Yeah, but LeBron could shoot. That was always like the flaw in the Ben Simmons formula.

[Tony]

Yeah. You have to put the ball in the basket. And he refused to put the ball.

[Mike]

Just refuse. He's like, I'm so bad at this. I'm not even gonna take a layup.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Just get me out of here.

[Tony]

Last thing I want his game.

[Mike]

Last thing I want to do is shoot this. It's like a. Like a baseball player. Like, you know, I love it. I know there are five tools of players. I got, like, two of the tools I can. Yeah. And I just hate swinging. I don't even want to swing. Someone else swing for me, please.

[Tony]

It is interesting that juju brought that up because I feel like we haven't yet seen this summer the annual Ben Simmons summer workout video of him training threes.

[Juju]

Right?

[Tony]

Right.

[Zaz]

14 threes in a row. Like, he's back.

[Mike]

It's going to be like the John Wall retirement where he announces it like eight years after he stopped playing. You're like, what?

[Tony]

Juju, you got some polls for us to update today?

[Juju]

Yes, sir. When TUA got blindsided and didn't fumble, was that the play of the day for the dolphins? 97% of the audience says, yes, it was. Yep.

[Tony]

Easy.

[Juju]

Does anyone think that biting is cool? 82% of the audience says, no, they don't.

[Tony]

I feel like 3 year olds think it's cool.

[Juju]

And Mike Tyson, if you drop a tarantula down Leo Messi's shorts, would he still be cool? 71 of the audience says, yes, he will.

[Tony]

Liars.

[Juju]

Who was better on Sunday, Daniel Jones or Aaron Rodgers? 56 of the audience says, Daniel Jones.

[Zaz]

Those MVP tickets looking mighty nice about now, huh, Juju?

[Juju]

Oh, yeah. Danny Dimes, do you love breakfast pizza? 53 of the audience says, yes, they do?

[Mike]

Yeah, sure, why not?

[Juju]

And the last poll, should Houston center be named Houston Center? 94 of the audience says, yes, he should. And those are your pose.

[Tony]

Great job, juju. Thanks, ma'.

[Mike]

Am.

[Juju]
