They're finally here and they're hot.

Try the new toasted sandwiches at Jimmy John's.

Order one today.

Where's that giant Jimmy John's giant pillow

that you had yesterday?

Because they sent this in. Not a pillow, it's a bag of chips.
Okay. Well, a giant bag of chips that looks like a pillow.
Right. Yes.
It's good work by you. Only 100 calories in your house, this bag.
I have still not been able to shake my Iceman mistake. I am still suffering from Tell Us About the Life.
Juju Gotti, please soothe me. I'm sure the internet was very kind about my vulnerability and my awkwardness.
Before we get to that, I'd just like to throw a celebration. Yes.
Thank you to Jimmy John's. I see you.
Holy moly. This is finally sponsored, man.
Oh, my goodness. Salute.
Big salute to Jimmy John's. If you're out there, you're hungry right now, I suggest you go get you a sub ASAP pronto.
That turkey avocado sandwich they have is divine. Oh, yes.
I'm a Club Lulu man myself. Club Lulu.
Yep. Or the Italian nightclub.
That's my favorite. I love the Italian nightclub.
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.
Oh my God. Yes, way to go.
The best move is always make Dan look like a fool. Yes.
A universal joke that will pay until the end of time.

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. I think the only question to ask you, Dan, right now,

as we look at the beautiful room, look at him.

Oh, my God.

My brother, Danny.

I got one question for you, Dan.

What's the hardest part of the life? What is the worst part of the life? What is the worst? Dan, remember when you asked that? What an idiot. Do you know how hard it is to be the idiot on the day we have a giant photo of Greg and Mike nose to nose? 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.
I mean, I don't mean to insult anybody. You know, technically, I want to say the indigenous people of the Inuit nation or whatever, but I didn't think...
The mouthful. That's not respectful.
It is a mouthful. He's right.
It's a mouthful. But the or whatever, it makes it more of a mouthful to make it the or whatever there.
No, honestly, I referenced eskimo to support you and the ice man nickname because eskimos are associated with ice and and the great northwest and and all that stuff so that's the only reason i did that but mean mean no disrespect to any people uh i'm a lover not a hater that kind of thing that kind of thing you can just apologize okay. But you want...
To anyone who I may have offended. Oh, boy.
I'm sort of sorry. All right.
Juju, any other thoughts on today's show or anything from the week? We have missed you for the postgames the last couple of days. You've done an exceptional job covering the unrivaled.
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. We just love good sport around here.
No one, no one. Also, good follow.
Good follow. Also, Kristen Gracler, Rise Gold, they've been doing a fantastic job all year covering Unrivaled League, even though David Sampson hated on their commercial.
That's another thing. 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. 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 in the Tooth, No More more Chelsea Gray.
She slayed all the haters. Oh, my God.
And I see my sister Jessica Ann Lehman out there. What a perfect cherry on top to the Unrivaled season.
What is the critique of the Samson segment today? Anything good or bad come out of that? Brother, we need to start putting some trigger warnings on David Samson segments because just for just for meanie pants. So you mean to tell me if I pay hundreds of dollars to go to the baseball game and my mama texts me, an emergency text, and in that text a fireball cracks my cranium, the first thing he rushes into is say, oh, your fault.
You don't get nothing? Well, first of all, Juju, those tickets don't cost hundreds of dollars. Marlins.

Seriously.

The Marlins should pay you to go to those games.

That's kind of his point.

Where Greg Cody would be batting cleanup.

Exactly.

They might as well sign me looking at their lineup.

If you were a good hitter, you'd bat first or second, though.

That's probably true.

I heard that the best hitters bat second.

I don't know where that wild rumor started. What else do you have for us, Juju, today in the way of complaints? Man, the complaints.
One complaint has been hitting my email, my text message, my DMs all weekend. Spoiler alerts with this show, y'all.
We have to do a slight better job. This is how you do a spoiler alert.
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 pee-pee. Then you say all the things you want to say.
You open the show with. Now that's how it's done.
Gemstones is 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, you got to tell dad for me.
Do not spoil or alert this stuff. Back in the day, we had a segment on this.
Stu Gatz was asking, when is the proper time to talk about Game of Thrones, GOT? And we landed on about Thursday was about politically correct to talk about that Sunday's episode. 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. 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. Maybe we'll play this before spoilers.
Spoiler alert. Sorry.
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 so i thought billy spoiler alert wednesday was a good idea 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 sometimes we can't expect them to see everything we see you know what i mean with our blessed jobs so just respect audience.
They definitely had a big problem with that, though. I will take it under advisement.
Polls, please. I will try to do better.
We will see. I was defiant yesterday.
We will see. I'm looking at your eyes right now.
It doesn't seem like you're going to try that. Whose apologies were, Stans, Greggs, or Draymond Greens? I will try to do better.
Yeah, anybody who says I will take that under advisement doesn't give a shit. Also, before the polls, we got to put a little bit more respect on Theo Pinson's name.
I heard you say they're giving everybody podcasts. Theo Pinson, national champion Theo Pinson, went undrafted and still had a five-year NBA career Theo Pinson.
That's less role model levels, you feel me? We salute people with way less on their resume than that, you feel me? So salute to the big dog, Theo Pinson. I see you, big brother.
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 with. I just was like, when I saw that, I was just like, wow.
But I wanted other nominees there. I wanted other actual nominees because Juju's right.
That's a slight of Theo Pinson. Theo Pinson has done something that not all of us have done, but Chris Cody's reaction to us playing Theo Pinson sound was, who's Theo Pinson? That was a legitimate question he was asking.
The Iceman. No, not the Iceman.
Let's play a sound here from Tony earlier in the show. This was like mid-sentence.
I don't know if it was a breath or a witty situation. Let's play it against the slurp.
Chris Whittingham's slurp was he was just gulping a bubble of air. Oh, that's aggressive.
I mean, nothing's going to beat this. But Tony has second place, third place in the slurp category in the last couple of weeks.
That's more of a spitball. Like you're talking and something gets caught in your throat.
I need the full context of that. I don't know what that is.
All right, we'll see if we can find it. It sounded like you're slurping saliva, like you got some saliva in your mouth, it sounds like.
You can hear the end of it, a little breath, like a little air coming up. I think I was done dirty there.
I got to ease up on my blood, Tony. Ease up on my doubt.
I don't know what happened. 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. No, that sounds like you.
It's not. No, you have not been framed by others on the show.
Wouldn't be the first time. What do we got for polls today, Juju? We only had one poll that I put up today.
So I'm going to recap the polls for the last couple of days. 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?

That's why I'm more so 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 facets

on the right syllables.

You did get it.

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? That was shocking to learn about Coach Al. 66% of the audience says yes, they would disgust them.
Should they do playoff golf at a putt-putt course? 82% of the audience says yes, they they should do you remember phone do you remember the phone number of your original home 88 of the audience says yes they do wow surprised do you know any phone numbers 86 of the audience says yes they do what over-under on that? 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? I was going to put it at three and a half. I feel like five is a lot nowadays.
Maybe I'm wrong. You think it's too high? I think everybody knows the immediate family.
You know, the wife, the kids.

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.

Why would they have to?

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

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.
They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times. That seems like it's edited.
That doesn't seem that that's fair in any way. That's the sound of the pass.
That's the sound of the pass. They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times.
They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times. What is that? Wait, so it actually is better for Tony.
They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times. Because it wasn't just a hiccup.
It was him doing one of the... It was me throwing the Hail Mary for Alabama State.
I like it. It was a sound effect.
They throw a pass, gets bobbled eight times. It was presented to me like, hey, we got him there.
He had a hiccup. Imagine that, Dan.
The haters. Framed.
He was indeed framed. Is that what the pass sounded like? Yeah, because when you throw it out of your hands, you usually go...
Exactly. Put some mustard on it.
I'm more of a... That's the sound of mustard hitting, you know, when you squeeze it out of the bottle and you're really...
Yeah. Mustard! Does everyone have the sniffles now? 82% of the audience says yes, they do.

That's disconcerting.

It's disconcerting.

Those are your polls.

Thanks, Juju.

For sure.

The questionable poll I didn't read was, is the key to March Madness white guys?

We don't need to come back either way.

Admit it. Admit it.

You see a backdoor cut from a guy from Yale,

you're like, yeah, hell yeah.

Right through.

I'm locked in.
