Postgame Show: Top 5 March Madness Moments (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 Smearnoff! 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 That's right. It's Thursday Thunder, and it's brought to you by DraftKings.
DraftKings, the crown is yours. Juju, what do we got?

Speaker 2 Man, man, man, the best Thursdays in the world. One of them today starts right now.
And I'm going with some March Madness picks. You got to know it.
You got to dig it. First off, I got to say...

Speaker 2 The beautiful show today, guys. Beautiful show.
But neither here nor there just yet. With these Thursday Thunder this week, I got five on it.

Speaker 2 I'm going with all five seats. You got to know.
First five seed, I'm going with Michigan Money Line. To win the game, you got to know it.
You got to feel it. If you don't, get it off.

Speaker 2 The second seed or the second number five seed I'm going with is Penny Hardaway and them boys, Anferny Hardaway. And OS, my dog Tony, I like to call him and Fernie.
What you like to call him, Tony?

Speaker 1 Afreenie.

Speaker 2 Afreenie Hardaway. You got to know.
I'm going with the Memphis Tigers to win. Money line, Yadigski.

Speaker 2 And with the last leg of this Thursday Thunder, I'm going to the Women's League. I'm traveling all the way to Tennessee to my sisters.
I think they are going to drag USF tomorrow.

Speaker 2 I mean, they're going to beat the tar outflows, ladies. Salute to USF.
But I'm taking number five seed, Tennessee, to win by 19.5 at least tomorrow. You got to know it.
Lock him in.

Speaker 1 Juju, I don't know how closely you follow NASCAR or how familiar you were with Ryan Blaney. I'm sure much of our audience is NASCAR agnostic.
How did you like that interview?

Speaker 2 It was good. It was fun.
He was, he was, his microphone, I think the NASCAR microphones, they don't work as well as the regular people's mics. I'm thinking on that.

Speaker 1 Not sure what's going on there.

Speaker 2 I think it was a wonderful segment. He was a great sport.
He leaned in.

Speaker 2 He even answered Dan's awkward question that shocked the world yesterday hats off to buddy and he does look fantastic in a hat oh i can rock a cap what is the worst part of the life

Speaker 2 so bad

Speaker 2 oh man and i'm i'm so happy to see we got a celebrity in the building today one of the most popular celebrities andrew zaslow oh my god

Speaker 2 that's why andrew is atop that celebrity pick'em board you dig it my bad john his close friends call him andrew I call him, y'all call him Jonathan. But yeah, bro, and I agree with you, bro.

Speaker 2 Like, White Lotus this season, absolutely nothing has happened, bro. Nothing, nothing.

Speaker 1 Good to see you, Juju.

Speaker 1 I do need to ask, though, when you say that USF is going to get the tar beaten off of them by those Tennessee ladies, can you also salute them while you're saying they're going to get the tar beaten off of them?

Speaker 2 Yes, sir. It's required.
It's in my contract. You have to salute them after taking the page out of the devil's book and saying they're going to get the tar beat off of them.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 2 So yeah, you got to. And

Speaker 2 the last piece about a white lotus, so much of nothing has happened. Like it's beautiful scenery, wonderful scenery, but so much of nothing has happened that you guys are like.

Speaker 2 I want to see, I would say the word, but I can't say the word. You guys are fawning over a Sam Rockwell monologue.
That's true.

Speaker 2 That's the most boring thing in the world.

Speaker 2 The monologue needs to get over itself just a tad bit, neither here nor there it was very freaky spoiler alert someone else who doesn't seem to like foreplay just saying

Speaker 1 i did spend the entire part of that monologue thinking to like most of it was just me thinking to myself how would i react if my one of my close friends was telling me all of that i was envisioning me being in that situation and what i would like i was stunned that walton goggins' character allowed him like there wasn't a single moment in the middle of that where he goes are you effing with me i think he played a pitch perfect it's a lot to absorb but wouldn't you say to your friend at some point are you effing with me right now uh maybe perhaps yeah i guess

Speaker 1 it depends on the friend there'd have been some type of interjection on my part he did he made a

Speaker 2 you have to ask him are you okay bro something good something

Speaker 2 we talk white lotus this white lotus that like thursday best thursday of the year right here and we're talking about white lotus for six hours and kissing and let's focus on hoops how about that juju hell yeah but this because today is legally contractually the first day that we were allowed to talk about white lotus because it's been the the allotment of days but speaking of hoops i saw that you guys had a a segment the end of the segments uh discussing the boston celtics trade i mean the sale of the boston celtics and i heard my brother andrew zaslow talking about how they're relocating

Speaker 2 yeah they need to relocate and i just want to just you know just put some accoutrement in the air just to remind my brother that the heat uh still have a ways to go before they even matter you know what i mean some would say that that jimmy butler trade rivals the nico harrison trade and if they said

Speaker 1 okay but we do but we do need to acknowledge juju the heat can't do anything about them not being born while the celtics were winning all those titles because since the miami heat have existed they've won more titles than the Boston Celtics.

Speaker 1 Like, that's the only way we can measure those two franchises. The Heat can't do anything about not being alive in the 60s and 70s.
The Heat have won more titles than the Celtics since 1988.

Speaker 2 Speaking of being born and alive during the 70s and 60s, happy birthday, Pat Riley. I don't know if we got to that today, but happy birthday to the big dog.

Speaker 1 Happy birthday to him.

Speaker 1 I don't care.

Speaker 1 Good luck.

Speaker 2 Some would say that this might should be the last birthday that he occupies this position because the heat are definitely not in the right place.

Speaker 2 I don't put too much stock into the draft positioning and all of that because you only get one Cooper flag per draft.

Speaker 2 You only get one Victor Wimbiyama that you missed out to go to the play in the championship. So yeah, get well soon.

Speaker 2 Tony was right.

Speaker 2 You feel me?

Speaker 2 Yep. Congratulations.

Speaker 2 Yep. What did it cost you? Everything.

Speaker 2 But back to Tony, though.

Speaker 2 Speaking of the season of basketball, I got my top five March Madness moments in the history of Middle Earth.

Speaker 1 Oh, let's do this.

Speaker 2 Yes, sir. Oh, well, lie because it was the Biggies Championship.
Kimball Walker crosses up a buddy from Pittsburgh fadeaway.

Speaker 1 The absolute, that was electric. That's what got my brother into basketball.

Speaker 1 He became briefly a Charlotte Bobcats fan because Kimball Walker was there, because the first tournament he ever watched included that shot going into the tournament.

Speaker 1 It got your brother into basketball. It did.
Fun fact.

Speaker 2 You're welcome.

Speaker 1 People care. People care about me in disguise, all right?

Speaker 1 That was not nice, I feel. No one's nice to me.
That was not nice by Chris. It was really me.
It's very condescending.

Speaker 1 A little?

Speaker 1 Why are they being mean to you today?

Speaker 2 Today?

Speaker 1 I mean, listen, I'm here today. This is what I'm noticing.

Speaker 1 It's constant.

Speaker 2 But he does have the

Speaker 2 golden vocal cords. You know what I mean? He's blessed up with some bangers.
Salute to Jeremy Tashay in the singing voice. Love you, Jeremy.
Number five, Chris Weber's timeout.

Speaker 2 Yeah, man. Fab five against North Carolina.
That

Speaker 2 timeout heard around the world. It ended one of the most epic runs in the history of basketball.
I love it. Number four.

Speaker 1 I love, by the way, I loved Michigan growing up. All right.
I was way into the Fab Five.

Speaker 1 You know, when they won the national title in 88, Glenn Rice. So from that point on, I was a Michigan kid.
And then we get to the early 90s there and you got Web.

Speaker 1 I was heartbroken when Weber called that timeout. Jeremy, how was your brother?

Speaker 1 He could brother handle that. He was just absolutely crushed.

Speaker 2 Number four,

Speaker 2 Jimmy Valvano's NC State slays Houston at the buzzer for the national title. And he runs around the court.
Oh, my God. I see that every day almost.
But what a moment for the world.

Speaker 1 He's looking for somebody to hug. Run around that court.
Can't find anybody to hug.

Speaker 2 Right. Luscious Locks, too.
Just flowing in the wind. Just flowing.
Number three, Christian Leitner from Grant Hill touched down Duke.

Speaker 2 What a moment. Unless you hate Duke.
I'm sorry, Taylor Vipolis, but that was a great moment.

Speaker 1 Yeah, my brother really hated that one.

Speaker 2 Number two, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese.

Speaker 2 The Tony Yayo heard around the world.

Speaker 2 That will go down as one of the biggest moments in women's sports history. It sparked a new age of WNBA basketball.
Now unrivaled hatred.

Speaker 2 Like, oh my God, salute to all the sisters around the world who made the rivals a last. You dig it.

Speaker 2 And number one,

Speaker 2 you can't deny this. Chris Jenkins, buzzer beater versus North Carolina.

Speaker 1 That was crazy because was that the Marcus Page shot before the Chris Jenkins shot?

Speaker 1 That's why that is like maybe the greatest ending any of us will ever witness because it had two of the greatest shots ever and we don't even remember the first one. That was Villanova, right? Right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the Villanova game. I mean, Jay Wright's non-reaction.
It's unbelievable. You gotta act like you've been there before, Zaz.
I mean, no emotion whatsoever. Just, all right, handshake line.

Speaker 1 That's the right reaction. Salesperson.
Jeremy, and then put that against Jeremy's reactions to like a regular season game. Game winner.
I care, okay?

Speaker 1 Don't knock my passion.

Speaker 2 Jeremy was scraping Cheeto juice off his thumbs.

Speaker 2 Neither here nor there.

Speaker 1 Juju, we got any polls today?

Speaker 2 Hell yeah. Dan went crazy on the polls.
I think he was trying to make up for the polls yesterday by only having one. So I'm going to go through them.

Speaker 2 Do you know why anyone was putting feathers in their cap? 86% of the audience says, no, they do not.

Speaker 2 Will you always stop on someone falling on a treadmill?

Speaker 2 92% of the audience says, yes, they will.

Speaker 1 Big number for Dan. Huge win for Dan.

Speaker 2 Right? Oh, man. Huge loss for Dan coming up.
What is a penguin more of?

Speaker 2 A fish or a bird?

Speaker 1 Unbelievable.

Speaker 2 83% of the audience says a bird.

Speaker 2 It literally has feathers. Come on, man.

Speaker 1 It has wings. It has a beak.
It's a bird. I mean, who are the 17%?

Speaker 2 It's Dance Burners.

Speaker 2 What annoys you more? No turn signal or someone who forgot to turn their turn signal off? This is big.

Speaker 2 76% of the audience says no turn signal.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I'm in the minority there.

Speaker 1 It is really annoying when someone's just like, their blinker has been on for four miles. Yeah, because in my driving to Miami, my expectation is you're never going to turn on your turn signal.

Speaker 1 Now, you're messing with me if you have it on and I'm making room for you. Like, now, now I'm stuck in the in-between here.
I'm overthinking this one.

Speaker 2 Hell yeah.

Speaker 2 Do you think a NASCAR wedding is more debaucherous than a regular wedding? Someone maybe had to Google how to spell debaucheries, but not neither here nor there.

Speaker 2 87% of the audience says yes, it is more debaucherous. Yeah, I could see that.

Speaker 2 Oof, big poll coming up.

Speaker 2 Is Sunday the end of last week or the beginning of this week? Wow.

Speaker 2 This one shook the world. 69% of the audience says the end of last week.

Speaker 1 Jeremy, what do you think about that number? Nice.

Speaker 2 The best sports Thursday sponsored by

Speaker 2 Jeremy Fitzpunk.

Speaker 2 Not sponsored by Jeremy Fitzpunk. The best sports Thursday sponsored by Evan Williams Bourbon.
Go get you a taste.

Speaker 2 Thanksgiving, NFL opening night, the Masters first round, or the start of March Madness.

Speaker 1 Come on, Masters.

Speaker 2 52% of the audience says the start of March Madness.

Speaker 1 Today, we made it.

Speaker 1 We are here. Heard that, Jeremy.
Go get you a taste. That poll was brought to you by Evan Williams Bourbon.
Game days, number one poor.

Speaker 1 Evan Williams, Kentucky, straight bourbon whiskey, Bardstown, Kentucky, 43 to 45% alcohol by volume. Enjoy responsibly, 21 plus.

Speaker 2 Delicious.

Speaker 2 Do you know what highlight is?

Speaker 2 70% of the audience says yes, they do.

Speaker 2 I'm going to salute to my new always.

Speaker 1 This is our audience. I'm worried about the 30%.
What is wrong? We communicate for a living.

Speaker 1 We're doing something wrong.

Speaker 1 Like three out of 10 people don't know what highlight is. Never heard of it.
Messaging is bad on this show.

Speaker 2 Is the sports anchor profession dying

Speaker 2 74 of the audience says yes it is

Speaker 2 man christine leasey tapped in and said no with like 5 000 o's so salute to my sister christine leasey and the last poll the most important poll some would say are you good at foreplay

Speaker 2 We know Jeremy is. 67% of the audience says yes, they are.
I was right there for them.

Speaker 1 We needed two more percent.

Speaker 2 Those are your bows. Thanks, Juju.

Speaker 2 Thank y'all.

Speaker 1 Thanks, Juju. Thanks, Andrew.
Good stuff.

Speaker 1 Andrew, the Ice Man.

Speaker 2 The Ice Man says.
