Postgame Show: I Like Willow...At Home

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

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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 4 I saw some stuff, some early stuff on Juju's new Alley Oop Show. We're going to debut tomorrow.

Speaker 4 We're going to show you some of what it is that Juju's doing on the interwebs around basketball coverage.

Speaker 4 He has been...

Speaker 5 Oh, Willow, what's Willow doing?

Speaker 2 What does Willow want? Seems like she's bothering somebody.

Speaker 4 Whoa, Billy, what's happening? What are you eating that Willow wants?

Speaker 2 Food, lunch.

Speaker 6 So I got her compoyo with like some black beans here.

Speaker 4 So anyway, excuse me for doing that. I was distracted by Willow.
Tony, I don't know what's happening with Tony there. Tony, this is the first time I'm hearing of any of this.

Speaker 2 Bothering people.

Speaker 2 In the office.

Speaker 2 You said you never seen anybody bothered. I was just bothered.

Speaker 5 I mean, I like Willow.

Speaker 2 Everyone here likes Willow. Well, I like her.
I like her. I like her at Justice's house.

Speaker 2 She's great there, by the way. I've been to Justice's house and the dog's been great.
We've been hanging out and doing the thing.

Speaker 2 I'll remember this. In the office.
Don't worry.

Speaker 7 Juju.

Speaker 6 Your brother was at the office last week, too.

Speaker 2 I didn't approve of that. I don't know what happened there.

Speaker 5 I did not meet your brother.

Speaker 4 I didn't see your brother. I don't know why your brother was brought to me.

Speaker 2 You probably didn't.

Speaker 8 You just thought it was Tony.

Speaker 2 Yeah, okay. Yes.

Speaker 9 They're just the same. They sound exactly the same.
He speaks with the same vocal patterns and level of arrogance.

Speaker 4 It's like Ozzie and Jose Conseco, one of the great guitars.

Speaker 2 The problem is, my brother's like 60 pounds lighter than I. Yeah.

Speaker 6 That's the only difference. Better looking, too.

Speaker 4 Juju, I'm sorry to interrupt you. And as I was saying, I'm very much looking forward to watching yet more.
I should say, debut of his show here because the Ali Yoop show is not.

Speaker 4 He's been doing it during the postseason and been doing professional basketball coverage for us for a while. Nice to see you, sir.

Speaker 4 Do you have any opinions on any of the subject matter that we had today?

Speaker 7 Yes, sir. I appreciate the warm welcome.
You feel me? Alleyoop Show. You know what I mean? A little sniffet show.

Speaker 7 We did a little quick pilot with my sister, Trista Crick, who could be seen on It Is What It Is, and my dog, Josh Smith, Stephen A. Smith, little nephew, who taking the internet by storm right now.

Speaker 7 My dog's from, you know what I mean, from a couple of years right now. So I appreciate that.
And check it out tomorrow when we put it up.

Speaker 7 And it's good to see my brother Johnny Z back in the studio today. You feel me?

Speaker 5 I rearranged

Speaker 7 the house. I put the Florida up for you, my dog, Ethan Bodowski.
You dig me? I also brought something for you as well for you to make sure.

Speaker 2 That's not for me. Oh, no.

Speaker 4 Nope. Oh, a Celtics 2024 World Championship.

Speaker 3 I'm not out of toilet paper.

Speaker 5 Oh, no, no,

Speaker 2 no.

Speaker 7 Well, yeah, I want to chime in on the comment y'all was talking about Cooper Flag. And I agree with Billy.
Like, if Cooper Flag draft dodges this year, it's a surprise.

Speaker 7 The Witchers are going to be waiting for him with open arms next year. So no matter what you do, you can stay an extra year and play with your Achilles tendon if you want to.

Speaker 7 And like Jess said, Duke is not a walk in the ballpark.

Speaker 7 You got to wake up and do your job at Duke. So I agree with y'all.
You hear me on both sides of that.

Speaker 3 I'd like a camera on Cooper Flag when the draft lottery is done the second year, when he skips the first year because it was the Wizards, and then the Wizards come up again the second year.

Speaker 3 It's just a camera on his own, which is shit.

Speaker 7 Hell yeah, and they say the same thing about Kay Cunningham when he got drafted by the Pistons. And you see, that franchise has been turned around slowly but surely.
And like, I think,

Speaker 7 I think Tony said it as word earlier. Those players believe in themselves to be that person who's going to change that organization around.

Speaker 7 So I definitely feel both sides of the argument, as well as I think that that's a big component of why college basketball rivalries aren't what they used to be anymore. You feel me?

Speaker 7 Like imagine Dalton Connect on this Tennessee team.

Speaker 7 It'll be crazy. Imagine Jason Tatum playing with Zion.

Speaker 7 I feel like that's what we got back in the days and them one-and-done scenarios, although lucrative, have robbed us of that great college basketball rivalry.

Speaker 8 I think that's one of the many reasons why a lot of fans are turning to women's college basketball because you have more continuity year to year and you know who the stars are.

Speaker 8 You can watch someone like Caitlin Clark or Judy Watkins play two, three, four years for the same school.

Speaker 8 And you can watch someone like Hannah Hidalgo go from a freshman averaging, you know, 18 points a game or whatever to sophomore averaging 24 points a game.

Speaker 8 And then you know she's going to be back next year, hopefully with the same team.

Speaker 7 Right.

Speaker 7 All right. And those rules for the women, the ladies, you got to stay like three years or either be 22 years old.

Speaker 7 We might need to meet halfway somewhere with that with the men because a lot of these ladies get to develop.

Speaker 7 And I saw a video with Haley Van Liff yesterday after winning the game, just describing her testimony.

Speaker 7 Like, man, some of her first years, although exciting and flashy, she was super duper depressed and was going through a lot of mental hurdles.

Speaker 7 And so now that she's with TCU, it has shown her and gave her a little plateau of enlightenment.

Speaker 7 I think that the growth of these college kids, you know what I mean, it's something to be studied for, like she say, stay in a a couple of extra years to develop yourself instead of going straight into the professionalism.

Speaker 7 But I understand it, though.

Speaker 4 What is going on with our tournament of sound? Was it widely rejected?

Speaker 2 Was it poo-pooed?

Speaker 7 I mean,

Speaker 7 it wasn't poo-pooed. It was just, you know, a little smell on it.
So I made my own top five lists of sounds that you guys forgot. Okay.
You dig me. OLI, the PlayStation 2 load screen.

Speaker 7 Stuff starting up. Filling a little galaxy.
OLI as well. Sega.
As soon as you open the Sega, turn it on. You dig it.
Number five, the Netflix opener.

Speaker 2 Ta-dong.

Speaker 5 You feel me?

Speaker 7 I think Jessica said this one earlier. Number four might bring bang.

Speaker 2 Double bang.

Speaker 7 Chef kiss. Also, this is for the old heads.
Mortal Kumbat 2, Mortal Comeback, Uppercut, Toasty.

Speaker 7 You love to hear it.

Speaker 7 You dig it. And number two, whenever you outside and you in just a little great little night spot or a club or a day party and you hear

Speaker 7 you know it's about to get live you feel me and the number one sound in the impossible universe that we live in is the

Speaker 7 from Price is Right. Loser Game Show sound.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 I've got it here. There you go.

Speaker 2 Took me a minute.

Speaker 4 I'm sorry. Joker of the Day.
Do we have a Joker of the Day today? Anyone in here? Anyone outside of here?

Speaker 7 Yes, sir. And I think my dog Johnny Z can back me up on this one, dog.
Bob Hurley, what are you doing? Take your L and walk off the screen. Damn, crocodile galore.

Speaker 7 No Gator tears, just crocodile tears. What you think, Johnny Z?

Speaker 3 Yeah, well, first of all, Dan Hurley. Let's not confuse anyone that Bondi.

Speaker 2 Dan Hurley.

Speaker 3 And yes, 100. Just...

Speaker 3 I just, I can't wrap my head around the idea that the game ended. They were national champion back to back.

Speaker 3 And the first thing that goes through his mind is, I got to find the Baylor players and I got to tell them, I hope they don't get screwed the way that we just did it.

Speaker 2 I just warned them.

Speaker 4 Warn them about what's out there.

Speaker 3 I look out for those kids in Baylor.

Speaker 7 Also, earlier, you said Robert De Niro was on a movie and Netflix. It was an actual TV show.

Speaker 7 Neither here nor there, but it's called Zero Day. And it wasn't necessarily awesome, but I understand the sentiment.
You feel me?

Speaker 2 I feel you.

Speaker 7 And let's get to the polls.

Speaker 7 The first poll of the day was,

Speaker 7 Can Santa be 5'5?

Speaker 7 67% of the audience says no, he cannot.

Speaker 2 Dang.

Speaker 7 Look at my brother Danny Benitez, though, in the back, doing a great job as always.

Speaker 4 Where did we arrive on is the cutting off point on over-under for how short you're willing for your Santa to be?

Speaker 4 5'7' still too short, isn't it?

Speaker 2 Too short.

Speaker 4 5'10? It's gotta be six, man.

Speaker 6 Joe Conway, though, in the cartoon.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you've got to be big enough to look down at the elves,

Speaker 7 however the tall they are. Just a couple of inches.

Speaker 7 In the last poll, did Ed Asner play bigger than 5'7?

Speaker 7 84% of the audience says yes, he did.

Speaker 2 Oh, Lou Grant.

Speaker 2 Ed Asner, Dream on Dream.

Speaker 2 So asinite.

Speaker 4 An Ed Asner reference. Thank you, Juju.
Appreciate it.

Speaker 7 Thank you, Johnny Z.

Speaker 3 Ah, yeah, the Heat won three of those. Celtics only two since their existence.
