Postgame Show: SpliffNotes (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.

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 3 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 3 Spliff Notes is sponsored by Jimmy Johns. They're finally here and they're hot.
Try the new toasted sandwiches at Jimmy John's. Order one today.

Speaker 4 Where's that giant Jimmy John's giant pillow that you had yesterday? Because they said that it's a piece of it.

Speaker 2 It's not a pillow to a bag of chips.

Speaker 4 Okay, giant, giant, excuse me. Well, a giant bag of chips that looks like a pillow.
Right. Yes, it's good work by you.

Speaker 2 Only 100 calories used to this bag.

Speaker 4 I have still not been able to shake my Iceman mistake.

Speaker 4 I am still suffering from tell us about the life. Juju Gatti, please soothe me.
I'm sure the internet was very kind about my vulnerability and my awkwardness.

Speaker 5 Before we get to that, I'd just like to throw a celebration. Yes.
Thank you to Jimmy Johns. I see you.

Speaker 2 Holy moly.

Speaker 2 Notice it's finally sponsored, man.

Speaker 5 Oh, my goodness. Salute.
Big salute to Jimmy Johns. If you're out there and you're hungry right now, I suggest you go get you a sub-ASAP Pronto night.

Speaker 6 That turkey avocado sandwich they have is divine.

Speaker 2 Oh, yes.

Speaker 2 It's the only thing. Kla Blulu.
Yep.

Speaker 6 Italian nightclub. That's my favorite.
I love the Italian nightclub.

Speaker 5 Hey, me too, dog. Me too.
But yeah, dog. You know how we usually give out $2 fines? I think we should give $2 to whoever put the Iceman in Dan's notes because it made everything worth it today.

Speaker 5 Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 Absolutely. Yes, way to go.
And that could work. Way to go.
Yes.

Speaker 4 The best move is always make Dan look like a fool.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 A universal joke that will pay till the end of time.

Speaker 5 Yes, sir. And also, salute to Jason Granados, too, man.
The YouTube breaks, the flashbacks. Oh, my God, they've been chef's kiss.
The whole crowd been loving it, man.

Speaker 5 I think the only question to ask you, Dan, right now, as we look at the beautiful room, look at them. Oh, my God, my brother Danny.
I got one question for you, Dan.

Speaker 5 What's the hardest part of the life?

Speaker 4 What is the worst part of the life?

Speaker 4 What is the worst

Speaker 2 Dan? remember? Remember when you asked that?

Speaker 2 What an idiot.

Speaker 2 Do you know how hard it is to be the idiot and today we have a giant photo of Greg and Mike nose to nose?

Speaker 4 And incidentally, Greg still wants to defend. He spent the entire break looking up why it is he shouldn't be using Eskimo anymore, and he wants to double down on it.

Speaker 7 I mean, I don't mean to insult anybody. I, you know, technically I want to say the indigenous people of the Inuit nation or whatever, but I didn't say

Speaker 2 that's not respectful.

Speaker 6 It is a mouthful. He's right.

Speaker 2 It's a mouthful. But the or whatever's, it makes it more of a mouthful to make it the or whatever there.

Speaker 7 No, honestly, I referenced Eskimo to support you and the Iceman nickname because Eskimos are associated with ice and the great Northwest and all that stuff. So that's the only reason I did that.

Speaker 7 But mean no disrespect to any people. I'm a lover, not a hater.

Speaker 2 That kind of thing. That kind of thing.

Speaker 4 You can just apologize. It's okay, but you want to anyone who I may have offended.

Speaker 2 Oh, boy. I'm sort of sorry.

Speaker 4 All right. Juju, any other thoughts on today's show or anything from the week? We have missed you for the post-games the last couple of days.
You've done an exceptional job covering the unrivaled.

Speaker 4 Thank you to all of you who suggested, bombarded me with us being bought and paid for by John Skipper's investment in Unrivaled. It is not that Juju has loved.

Speaker 2 We just love good sport around here.

Speaker 2 No one, no one.

Speaker 5 Also, good follow. Good follow.
Also, Kristen Graceler, Rise,

Speaker 5 Rise Gold. They've been doing a fantastic job all year covering the Unrivaled League, even though David Sampson hated on their commercial.
That's another thing.

Speaker 5 David Sampson, you have a whole segment committed to you every year, every week, where you get to just tell us how good nothing personal is. Let the ladies have their promo commercial.

Speaker 5 We don't have to do that to them. They've been doing a great job.
Salute to the unrivaled champions, the Rose, the Long and the Tooth, no more, Chelsea Gray. She slayed all the haters.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 5 And I seen my sister, Jessica and Lehman, out there. What a perfect cherry on top to the unrivaled season.

Speaker 4 What is the critique of the Sampson segment today? Anything good or bad come out of that?

Speaker 5 Brother, we need to start putting some trigger warnings on David Sampson segments because just for meanie pants.

Speaker 5 Like, so you mean to tell me if I pay hundreds of dollars to go to the baseball game and my mama texts me emergency text and in that text a fireball cracks my cranium he's the first thing he rushes into is that your fault

Speaker 8 well first of all juju those tickets don't cost hundreds of dollars

Speaker 2 seriously

Speaker 4 the marlins should pay you to go to those games that's kind of his point right where greg cody would be batting cleanup exactly i'm they may as well sign me looking at their lineup if you're a practice squad, though.

Speaker 1 If you were a good hitter, you'd bet first or second, though.

Speaker 2 That's probably true.

Speaker 7 I heard that the best hitters bet second. Now, I don't know where that wild rumor started.

Speaker 4 What else do you have for us, Juju, today in the way of complaints?

Speaker 5 Man, the complaints, one complaint has been hitting my email, my text message, my DMs all weekend.

Speaker 5 Spoiler alerts with this show, y'all. We have to do a slight better job.
This is how you do a spoiler alert.

Speaker 5 Hey, guys, I'm about to talk about white lotus so if you haven't watched this week's episode fast forward 15 15 15 about two minutes give a pause and then you say how brilliant you think buddy was in the monologue then you say i saw a peepee then you say all the things you want to say you open the show with now that's how it's done uh gemstones it's like whoa me and my wife had it skewed for later so i'm talking about i at least got 15 to 20 people saying bro bro, you got to tell Dev for me, do not spoil alert this stuff.

Speaker 5 Back in the day, we had a segment on this. Stu Gotts was asking, when is the proper time to talk about Game of Thrones, G-O-T?

Speaker 5 And we landed on about Thursday, was about politically correct to talk about that Sunday's episode.

Speaker 4 You dig it. I have to get used to this because I thought we were a live show that talked about the things that had just happened.
I thought that's how we were doing this.

Speaker 4 I must be some sort of dinosaur trying to do something that reacts to whatever it is just happened. That's not how we're doing it anymore.

Speaker 3 Maybe we'll play this before spoilers.

Speaker 5 Spoiler alert.

Speaker 2 Sorry.

Speaker 9 But we have to react to the sports that are live. And oftentimes that means we can't get to the scripted content that is also airing on the same day, right?

Speaker 8 So I thought Billy's spoiler alert Wednesday was a good idea.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I think so too. At least Wednesdays.
Because, you know, people go on dates on Sunday nights. People work on Sunday nights.
People work early Sunday mornings.

Speaker 5 Sometimes we can't expect them to see everything we see, you know what I mean? With our blessed jobs. So just respect to the audience.
They definitely had a big problem with that, though.

Speaker 2 I will take advantage.

Speaker 4 Under advisement. Polls, please.
I will try to do better. We will see.
I was defiant yesterday. We will see what happens.

Speaker 3 I'm looking at your eyes right now. It doesn't seem like you're going to try that.

Speaker 8 Whose apologies worse, Stans, Greggs, or Draymond Greens?

Speaker 4 I will try. to do better.

Speaker 7 Yeah, anybody who says I will take that under advisement doesn't give a shit.

Speaker 5 Also, before the polls, we got to put a little bit more respect on Theo Penson's name. I heard you say they're giving everybody part crazy.

Speaker 5 Theo Penson, national champion Theo Penson, went undrafted and still had a five-year NBA career, Theo Penson. That's less role model levels, you feel me?

Speaker 5 We salute people with way less on their resume than that. You feel me? So salute to the big dog, Theo Penson.
I see you big.

Speaker 4 I didn't really get from anybody other than the nominee of us, a podcast that would be less listened to than Byron Scott is what it is that Chris Cody got in the mix.

Speaker 3 I just was like, when I saw that, I was just like, well, but I wanted other nominees there.

Speaker 4 I wanted other actual nominees because Juju's right. That's a slight of Theo Penson.

Speaker 4 Theo Penson has Penson has done something that not all of us have done, but Chris Cody's reaction to us playing Theo Pinson's sound was, who's Theo Penson?

Speaker 4 That was a legitimate question he was asking.

Speaker 3 The Iceman. No, not the Iceman.

Speaker 4 Let's play a sound here from Tony earlier in the show.

Speaker 3 This was like mid-sentence. I don't know if it was a breath or a witty situation.

Speaker 4 Let's play it against the Slurp.

Speaker 4 Chris Whittingham's slurp was he was just gulping a bubble of air. Oh, that's aggressive.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, that's nothing's going to beat this.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Oh, wow.
But Tony has, you know, second place, third place in the slurp category in the last couple of weeks.

Speaker 6 I was more of a spitball.

Speaker 3 Like, you're talking and like something gets caught in your throat.

Speaker 6 I need the full context of that. I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 All right, we'll see if we can find it.

Speaker 4 It sounded like you're slurping saliva, like you got some saliva in your mouth, it sounds like.

Speaker 2 You can hear the end of it, a little breath, like a little air coming up.

Speaker 5 I think I was dead. He's up on my boy, Tony, man.
He is up on my dog.

Speaker 2 I don't know what happened, Juju.

Speaker 6 Again, Juju, we need the full context of what's going on here. This could be somebody else's noise that they're attributing to me.

Speaker 4 No, that sounds like you.

Speaker 4 No, you have not been framed by others on the show.

Speaker 2 Wouldn't be the first time.

Speaker 4 What do we got for polls today, Juju?

Speaker 5 We only had one poll that I put up today, so I'm going to recap the polls for the last couple of days.

Speaker 5 We also had one questionable poll, which, you know, sometimes we say stuff in our show, but when you read it online, it doesn't read as well. You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 That's why I'm more so of like a call person. I would love a two-minute call versus a text message because I want you to hear me put the right emphasis on the right syllables.
You dig it.

Speaker 5 So we're going to go to the poll for Monday. If you had 10 Reese's peanut butter cups every day for 10 years, would they disgust you? I was shocking to learn about Coach Alvin.

Speaker 5 66% of the audience says yes, they would disgust them.

Speaker 5 Should they do playoff golf at a putt-putt course?

Speaker 5 82% of the audience says yes, they should.

Speaker 5 Do you remember the phone number of your original home?

Speaker 5 88% of the audience says yes, they do.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 4 Surprised.

Speaker 5 Do you know any phone numbers?

Speaker 5 86% of the audience says yes, they do.

Speaker 3 What's the over-under on that?

Speaker 4 If I asked the audience and we came back with a median, I'm guessing under on five. I put the number on five.
Do you bet over under the average person knows five telephone numbers?

Speaker 2 I was going to put it at three and a half.

Speaker 3 I feel like five is a lot nowadays.

Speaker 2 Maybe I'm wrong. You think it's too high?

Speaker 7 I think everybody knows the immediate family. You know, the wife, the kids.

Speaker 4 No, if you've been grandfathered in on having to know it, maybe. But I'm guessing there's a whole generation of people who don't know any phone numbers.

Speaker 2 Why would they have to?

Speaker 5 I put it at one and a half, 1.5, with that one being their phone number.

Speaker 4 We have some context here from Lewis, who's always trying to help Tony as an ally. So let's see the video and the context that Tony requests.

Speaker 2 They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times.

Speaker 2 That's the sound of the pass. That's the sound of the pass hitting the they throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times.

Speaker 2 They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times.

Speaker 5 Wait, so it actually is better.

Speaker 2 They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times. Because it wasn't just a hiccup, it was him like doing

Speaker 6 the Hail Mary for Alabama State.

Speaker 2 They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times.

Speaker 3 It was presented to me like, hey, we got him there.

Speaker 2 We got he like he had a hiccup. Imagine that, Dan.

Speaker 4 The haters framed. He was indeed framed.

Speaker 8 Is that what the pass sounded like?

Speaker 2 Yeah, because when you throw it out of your hands,

Speaker 6 exactly. Put some mustard on it.
I'm more of a

Speaker 6 that's the sound of mustard hitting, you know, when you squeeze it out of the bottle and you're really.

Speaker 5 Yeah,

Speaker 5 thank you.

Speaker 5 Does everyone have the snipples now?

Speaker 5 82% of the audience says yesterday.

Speaker 4 That's disconcerting.

Speaker 2 It's disconcerting.

Speaker 5 Those are your polls.

Speaker 2 Thanks, Juju.

Speaker 5 For sure. Look, the questionable poll I did read was: Is the key to March Madness white guys?

Speaker 5 We don't need that to come back either way.

Speaker 2 Admit it.

Speaker 2 Admit it.

Speaker 6 You see a backdoor cut from a guy from Yale, you're like, Yeah, hell yeah, bro.

Speaker 2 I'm locked in.
