Postgame Show: Appreciate You, Hogsmash (feat. JuJu Gotti)

Speaker 1 All right, Smirnoff, official vodka of the NFL, world's number one vodka. Chris Cody, you're with me here.
Smirnoff!

Speaker 1 Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff. Spinoff.
I'm gonna ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff. Not your favorite game day drink.
What's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff.

Speaker 1 All right, here's the deal: game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.
Spirit off.

Speaker 1 Smirnoff off belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff! Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

Speaker 1 They've been doing it since 1864, which is, I don't even want to do the math. It's a long time.
It's like when Greg Cody was born. They're award-winning.

Speaker 1 They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together. So yeah, we do game days.
That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you should too.
Why, Chris? Smearing off.

Speaker 1 Grab a bottle of Smearin' Off at your local retailer and head to Smearin'Off.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day. Smearing off.
Please drink responsibly. Smearing off.

Speaker 1 Number 21, vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume. The Smearin' Off Company.
New York, New York. Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.
Smearing off.

Speaker 1 Spliff Notes is sponsored by Jimmy Johns. They're finally here and they're hot.
Try the new toasted sandwiches at Jimmy Johns. What a one today.

Speaker 2 We're going to get to Juju here and his post-game commentary in a second. Our thanks to him for the lift on his new Alley Oop show.

Speaker 2 We'll be hearing more from them throughout the playoffs and on the show here as well. It's going to be an assortment of different people from Juju's life.

Speaker 2 The topics today, though, Juju, I don't know what caught fire, what didn't. I imagine Zaszlo is very popular and polarizing.

Speaker 2 What happens with this seat, the seat of stardom, the Stugat seat, he has now been formally asked to be a guest on ESPN Radio this evening as a featured component of their pregame coverage because stardom comes to those who are homerific around here.

Speaker 2 So congratulations, Zaszlo, on your

Speaker 2 promotion as a...

Speaker 1 Are you going to wear that same thing or no? Well, this is an audio medium, you know, tonight. So it doesn't really matter.

Speaker 2 He's a radio legend. He's a radio, but a regional legend, not a national legend.
He is now becoming a national voice with ESPN.

Speaker 2 But, Juju, what has been the Zaslow commentary over the last couple of days?

Speaker 1 First of all, Zaslow, you look incredible. I mean, tell those folks that once they put their name up on ESPN as a celebrity bracket picker, then they can comment on your wardrobe.
You dig it.

Speaker 1 Until then, everybody needs to take a step back and salute greatness. Also, too, I thought you were bone on the soap situation.
Not only do I take my own soap to hotels, I take my own towel, rag,

Speaker 1 pillowcase, and bed sheets because

Speaker 1 hotels are a disgusting place, bro. Like,

Speaker 1 my skin is very sensitive, you feel me? And one time I was in a hotel, not to be named, in Miami, Florida. I pulled back the sheet.
There were blood on my sheets, bro. Oh, no.
I was like,

Speaker 1 Stadium Hotel?

Speaker 1 It was blood on the sheets, dog. And it was also a booger melted into the towel.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 You know, most people use those towels to step on once they get out of the shower so i bring all of my stuff to the hotel because my skin is delicate baby so i i agree with your zazlo if it ain't broke don't fix it and bring that soap that your wife well i would also say though that generally speaking the codys are on a cruise together and the codys together as a team are unhygienic the both of them and juju is fairly often disgusted by just their lack of hygiene So I wouldn't call you a germaphobe, but I think Juju around here, you come a hell of a lot closer to Samson than you are to the Wolverines around here in terms of just making sure things around them are not disgusting.

Speaker 1 I mean, we always say Samson is the standard.

Speaker 1 I don't see Samson as this clean thing. Samson is one of the most disgusting things I see as well.
I think I may be further down the spectrum than him.

Speaker 1 He puts his hand in a bag of jelly beans and puts them directly in his mouth. I haven't put something directly in front of my hand in my mouth since Obama administration.

Speaker 1 I don't agree with how he live at all. Salute to his germaphobia.
I'm not trying to get fired. I'm fine.

Speaker 1 Don't want to talk bad about David Sampson, you know, but I think I'm a little bit more on the germaphobe spectrum than

Speaker 2 I want to have actually a germaphobe off, if we can do that, between you and Samson to ask you guys questions to see if you are indeed a better germaphobe than him.

Speaker 1 What about don't get me started on that the soap in the shower that's nailed to the towel, the towel? Don't get me started on that soap,

Speaker 1 please. Zaszlo, I feel you.

Speaker 2 Thanks, man. Good support there.
How about how has Zaslow gone over with the audience? Having more of a homer than all the heat homers we have couldn't have been great.

Speaker 1 That, my friends, is a whole entirely different subject. Yesterday, he became one of the most, he's popular everywhere he goes, but he was very popular for his ribs take, how he doesn't eat ribs.

Speaker 1 How about that? He was,

Speaker 1 he used to dig it.

Speaker 1 No, he's very popular. Well, I should say polarizing.

Speaker 1 Hog Smash from Twitter says, imagine being so afraid of having some sauce on your face that you deny yourself the actual absolute culinary glory of wings and ribs. There's other foods.

Speaker 1 It's not a lack of food. There are other foods.
Appreciate you, Hog Smash.

Speaker 1 Mr. Rich 6183 says, get him out of here.

Speaker 1 Straight to the point.

Speaker 1 Because I don't want to eat your ribs.

Speaker 2 No, this is a different reason. But it is.

Speaker 2 You're just simply disgusted by anything that is finger food that's going to leave.

Speaker 1 It's not worth the try. I don't have to take a bath after i eat

Speaker 1 ceilo brown 27 says the funniest part is that he said he can eat pizza without making a mess because he's not two but can't eat a wing

Speaker 1 again uh not worth the trouble

Speaker 1 mike fizz says works worst take of all time on this show and that's saying something

Speaker 2 People like ribs. People are willing to take whatever the mess is.

Speaker 2 Just get some wipes.

Speaker 1 Ken Silvano says he's full of shit.

Speaker 2 So who's more full of shit? You or Jimmy Butler?

Speaker 1 Definitely Jimmy Butler because I'm telling the truth. I don't like wings.
I don't like ribs. He's saying money wouldn't have made a difference.
He's full of shit.

Speaker 1 Tom Bobaldi says, I get the sensory issue of not wanting your hands to feel sticky. But as he kept going, sheesh.

Speaker 1 Good disclaimer. You know, these are our loyal supporters.
We gotta, you know what I mean? Let them be heard.

Speaker 2 I need to hear your thoughts, by the way before we get to some polls and i didn't actually talk uh at all about that marilyn buzzer beater uh the other day but uh you're wearing usc gear today and i imagine you like l duncan like i i imagine someone who cares about the sport the way and people you do that you wake up with a little sickness in your stomach off on last night's story Right.

Speaker 1 I was watching the game, dog, and my everything stopped. I had action on a lot of NBA games, but I turned all that off.
I couldn't breathe anymore.

Speaker 1 It was so disgusting to see my sister Juju Watkins go down with that knee injury because you know like what she means to that city. You know what she means to that team.

Speaker 1 You know what she means to basically just women's basketball everywhere. And to see her go down in the

Speaker 1 Marsh Madness tournament, it's just so sad, man. Salute to Kiki for stepping up last night.
Salute to her teammates for having her back. You feel me?

Speaker 1 But I can't help but be just, just feels very sick to my stomach, which is, I think it plays into the Cooper Flag conversation I was having yesterday, why he should take his ass on, I don't give a damn if it's the Wizards, the Hornets, and get that bread because your knee go out in one of these situations.

Speaker 1 Now, like Jeremy said, your career is pushed back a year and you only get that option to have that Jimmy Butler contract that he just got.

Speaker 1 Your career ends a little bit more like some of the guys who just had to go out sadly because of injury, man. Salute to him, Barrel.

Speaker 2 The best ending of the tournament has been the Maryland game, right? Maryland in their conference tournament gets broken by Michigan half court.

Speaker 2 Full court, last five seconds of the game against Michigan. That's how Maryland loses.
Now Maryland advances to the sweet 16 on a buzzer beater. Is that the best moment from both tournaments so far?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it could be. I think so.
Even though I had heavy action on Colorado State, that shot sent an arrow straight through my heart. Oh my goodness, just like Rippetino heart.

Speaker 1 But credit the queen, you feel me? The debate started online, though. It looked like he might have taken an extra step.
Do not think.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to look, Tony. I'm not going to look.

Speaker 1 What you think, bro?

Speaker 1 What I think is it was a game winner, and we're not going to have the zebra steal this one from us.

Speaker 1 It's not going to happen. But it was.
But it was. It might have been three steps.
It might have been a gathering three steps. But the bank shot went in.
He called glass. I heard it.
Okay.

Speaker 1 And the zebras were not going to. Dorks were not going going to take this from us.
We were going to get that buzzer beater by any means, Zaszlo. I didn't think it was a travel.
Thank you. He thinks.

Speaker 1 Stop the steal. Don't let the zebra steal it.
Finally, somebody.

Speaker 1 Look, that's proof. Zaszlo, I love you, brother.
You are the biggest celebrity I know. Thanks, buddy.
But you got to understand that that was a travel.

Speaker 1 To call it in that place, I get you don't want to ruin the game reps, but that was absolutely a travel. And that's what's wrong sometimes with today's society.
Kids watch that and they mimic that.

Speaker 1 Oh, queen at the buzzer, one, two, three, and they're going to take that to their rec league. No, I think the referees should bite down, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 And dare I say, throw the little whistle

Speaker 1 and help Papa get his action from Colorado State.

Speaker 1 There it is.

Speaker 1 By the way, LeBron's been traveling for 25 years.

Speaker 2 That hurts, though, to have like a heartbreaker. Yeah.

Speaker 2 But wait a minute. Did you have him on the money line? You had Colorado State to win?

Speaker 1 I'm in a survivor league where like, I think it's like 18 out of the last 22 people had chose Maryland. And the cash is exponential right now.

Speaker 1 And I was about to be right there at the cash. Now we're all back in it.
Maybe you should have checked me out. I'm a celebrity expert picker on ESPN Radio's tournament bracket challenge.

Speaker 1 You picked Maryland. Yeah, of course I did.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm going to check you out too. I also want to, everybody, make sure you check out Jimmy John's.
You feel me? Go check it out. I keep my most valuable possessions in there.

Speaker 1 It's a little confetti from the 2024 champions, the actual confetti.

Speaker 1 Just making sure that my brother's celebrities Aslo sees that. I mean, since the time he'd have been alive, they've had three times their confetti has rained down, the Celtics just twice.

Speaker 1 In the words of my missing brother, what have you done for me lately? Stu Gotts, I see you.

Speaker 1 Cat Mount 96 says L Duncan should be on the show weekly. And I support that as well.
My sister brings it every time. Like, salute to L.
Salute to my dog Tony. He tried to get Kill Monkey in there.

Speaker 1 And I don't know.

Speaker 1 You dedicated it. That divided the world.
But you knew about the dap.

Speaker 1 Of course, I knew about the dap. Thank you.

Speaker 1 But that divided the whole internet chat. That divided the back row of the battle.

Speaker 1 That's the cleanest dap I've ever seen a coach give ever, ever.

Speaker 1 It is, brother. And as a person who's going through like, I've been seven months of straight just therapy.
I've been in the gyms, therapy, and counseling. I suggest you guys, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Love each other. Everybody just love each other.

Speaker 1 No matter your Moki's ties or no matter whatever ties you have, just love each other, especially on air. You dig it.

Speaker 2 It's a great dismount.

Speaker 1 First poll:

Speaker 1 what is a smarter animal? The dolphin or the octopus?

Speaker 1 54% of the audience says the dolphin is smarter than the octopus.

Speaker 1 That was close.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 Second poll is the fight won by the first genital biter

Speaker 1 i would tap out 85 of the audience says yes it is a 15 who think that we're still going after that

Speaker 1 probably people in wheelchairs salute to them over under the age of the person who caused the police the fuzz

Speaker 1 78% of the audience says over 100 years old caused the police the fuzz. And those are y'all polls.

Speaker 2 Thank you, Juju.

Speaker 1 Thanks, Juju. Thank y'all.
