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 Smearinoff Company, New York, New York.
Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age. Smearing off.

Speaker 2 All right, time to close out this show. I feel good about it.
I'm not going to be the one to make the verdict, but it's not completely over yet.

Speaker 2 But just in case the game is closer than I think it was, we got the closer in here. Juju Gotti with that fly-ass jersey on.
What's up, big dog?

Speaker 3 What's up, my brothers? How y'all doing? It's good to see y'all in the building. You feel me? I'm going to kick it off by saying I'm a 4.97.

Speaker 3 Strong.

Speaker 3 And I know what happened at one time. I got scooped up from the club.

Speaker 3 You said it. I got scooped up from the club.
And the entire ride, the driver kept letting down the windows. It was like, ooh, you guys smell like Marijoana.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 And so I was like, you picked me up from the club, big brother. And the bro left me one star.
Oh,

Speaker 2 that's just, yeah.

Speaker 2 That's the racism tax, man. Josh Freeman, is that what you got? See? He's still in the throwback era.
Yeah, I love it. I love it.
I like that. That's what's up, man.
Keeping it alive, man.

Speaker 2 Way Cross's favorite son, Juju Gotti.

Speaker 2 You don't got to defend yourself if you got a 9-7. Like, there's a lot of people around here putting together arguments to defend themselves.
A 9-7 is great.

Speaker 2 Like, I was just excited because I got a.9. .9.0, I thought, was great.
I thought I was crushing everybody in here, but we got like four people that are higher than me, right? Four or five people?

Speaker 2 Yeah. We got a nice crew, man.
Like, this is it. We got a lot of nice guys around here.
I don't really like guys that are forward. I'd rather hang with a 4.7 than a 4.9.
You're not living life.

Speaker 2 You know, there's too much that's passing you by. You're worried about stuff that doesn't matter.
Like Billy, going through the process he goes into for high ratings. I'm a drag.
What happens?

Speaker 2 You don't want to. Why do you need a high rating?

Speaker 2 Why do I need one? Yeah. Like, is it

Speaker 2 the ability to get Uber? Juju seemed very proud of his rating. I'm proud of my rating.
So you should be. Juju,

Speaker 2 why do you think it's important to have a high Uber rating?

Speaker 3 Because I know why I think it's important. I mean, I don't know if it's important or not, but I get in tons.
I feel like thousands of Ubers. Like, I'm always traveling.

Speaker 3 So it surprised me whenever y'all was talking about it. I was like, damn, let me check my rating.
I'm like, oh, your boy is in the percentile. Seriously.

Speaker 2 And that's so I am conscious of that. And I also believe that it's a reflection on my character.
So I'm extra nice. Juju is not even conscious of it.
He's just so nice generally

Speaker 2 like that he ends up. So I'm extra nice because I want my rating to be good because I do believe it's a reflection on the type of person.

Speaker 2 I don't pay these

Speaker 2 respectability politics I don't give a damn what an Uber driver thinks about me oh that's it's cool to say I don't give a damn explains why you're a force up

Speaker 2 okay I'm not gonna put you in that spot you you out here being defensive you care I'm not I don't care I promise I'm gonna try to get mine lower I bet you by the time I come back here on Friday I'm gonna be in this the 4.6 just to prove a point so you're prove a point by treating people like shit what is this game because I don't treat people bad and I don't I don't judge myself on that.

Speaker 2 So if you feel like you got to give me a bad rating because I might have came five or six minutes late or because I put my luggage in your Uber and then proceeded to wait another 15 minutes and threw your day off, then that's on you.

Speaker 2 My life is

Speaker 2 crazy.

Speaker 2 Awfully, awfully defensive for someone who doesn't think that this is a representation of how they treat people, but whatever. I will say Juju's 4.97 is a black five, basically.

Speaker 2 Because that's like the highest

Speaker 2 as a black man, especially with dreads and tattoos. A black man? 5.97 with tattoos, sunglasses, and dreads.
Are you serious?

Speaker 2 Oh, they are automatically docking you. You work your way up from that three.

Speaker 2 You sit down with a three. You sit down with a three and you leave with a five.

Speaker 2 Oh, that man, choo-choo. They almost gave that man his car.
Oh, man. Juju so damn much.
That's nuts. Oh, Juju.
So

Speaker 2 what from today's show? What you got for us?

Speaker 3 I got some notes. Y'all was talking about a comparable athlete to John Lennon.

Speaker 3 I want to enter. i think john lennon may be magic johnson's career you feel me because it had we all know magic was magic

Speaker 3 but circumstances was circumstances

Speaker 2 that's great that is fantastic

Speaker 3 way to appreciate

Speaker 2 expanding the league yep

Speaker 3 i also want to give some love to the women's final four you did ucon texas ucla south carolina them girls finna get it get it popping this friday so you know what i I mean?

Speaker 3 Tune in and support women's sports. You got to know.

Speaker 3 Absolutely. Hell yeah.
Team Paige. Also, Team Paige.
Oh, yeah, Paige. Paige is the queen.
Also, you know what I mean? In the game y'all having, which I think today was a great game.

Speaker 3 I think yesterday was a great game. You know, Keenan, you know what I mean? We're going to get it together.
But I feel like I'm the equipment manager in the situation.

Speaker 3 And I'm not going to wait till Coach tells me to go fill the water bottles up. I'm going to keep them things filled up so I can quench some thirst whenever the thirst needs quenching.
You feel me?

Speaker 3 So I took it upon myself to make some polls out of the stuff y'all was talking about. You feel me?

Speaker 1 Way to go.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 should the tush push be banned? 52% of the audience says, you know, it should not be banned.

Speaker 2 That's insanely split. That's right down the middle.
Yeah. No, he took some liberties with the polls, and I'm glad that he did because there's a good one coming.
Okay.

Speaker 3 Should the forward pass be banned? Okay.

Speaker 2 Is that down the middle?

Speaker 3 59% of the audience says, yes, it should be.

Speaker 2 All right. Now I don't trust the first poll.

Speaker 3 So who will win in the foot race?

Speaker 3 Dominique, Hawk, or Taylor?

Speaker 2 If Taylor wins, I might flip the desk again.

Speaker 3 52% of the audience says Hawk would win.

Speaker 3 27% of the audience says Dominique would win.

Speaker 3 And Taylor caught the scraps.

Speaker 3 Look at my boy that boy is ambiguous i don't know what my dog is but i love

Sorry about that, guys. Can everyone play the bongos?

Speaker 2 That's got to be a yes.

Speaker 3 67% of the audience says yes, we can.

Speaker 3 Back to you guys.

Speaker 2 Let's do awards for the show. But first of all, we're looking at that picture of Taylor.
He looks like we are the world. Like, I feel like

Speaker 2 every time you put that picture up, I hear the song

Speaker 2 in my head. We are the world.
You know, when they genetically modify like

Speaker 2 the future,

Speaker 2 the future happening

Speaker 2 when everything just melts into one. This is what men look like.
This is what the man on the track team from North Carolina is. 2075.
400 years from now.

Speaker 1 He's what the UN aspires to be.

Speaker 2 Taylor. UN Taylor.
Oh, my God. So, all right, let's do some show awards.
I want to kick off the first one. You know, Hawk, when you have a real big, good game by the team, everybody gets a game ball.

Speaker 2 So I want to give a game ball to the entire team in here

Speaker 2 out there. Ship container.
Everyone in the video room. Congratulations, Juju.
Game ball for everybody. Way to go, y'all.
You was on top of it in the video room.

Speaker 2 Every time I called for some video, boom, popped up. Never hesitation.
I got an award for Stop Me in My Tracks award. Wow.
Hawk said an opposing player once told him that he was cute.

Speaker 2 Couldn't do anything with it.

Speaker 2 Wanted to.

Speaker 2 Couldn't tell. Just stop me in my tracks.
Yeah, good, good, good. Thank you.
Good fourth-down stop right there, Hawk. Thank you, absolutely.
I think you stopped the touch push. I did.

Speaker 2 That's how you do it. I have the Steve Smith Nah Award

Speaker 2 for best definitive no, and I'm going to give it to Charlie for stopping any

Speaker 2 Jim Lara Nega talk. Oh, yeah.
Way to go. Nah.
We're not doing that. Way to go.
Way to go. Nah.

Speaker 2 Nah. That's how we won game two.
Yep.

Speaker 3 For sure.

Speaker 3 I would like to give the smulturing sex symbol award also to my boy Charlie in the back with the button button.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 fuck you.

Speaker 2 Charlie, the vanilla snap. When Nick was talking about that Jerry Rice outfit, Charlie was like, come on, man.
That sounds right up my alley.

Speaker 2 That sounds pretty good. It's not tight enough.
Jerry Rice had his thing skin tight. Could I give an award? Of course.

Speaker 1 Could I give the HIPAA award to all of us for not making fun of people with GERD today? No.

Speaker 2 Way to go.

Speaker 2 I'll accept on our behalf.

Speaker 2 Please do. So who's going to win our daily award?

Speaker 2 Charlie Hume, maybe, for beating Dom. He didn't beat me.
Dominique's Kat Lamar. I remember that name.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I like Lamar. I like Lamar a lot.
All right, Lamar wins it. I like him.
I'm going to go with Taylor's headband. Taylor's headband.

Speaker 2 I like him. I had another Taylor award.
It was called the Participation Award for his roster spot on the UNC Trail. Good job, Taylor.
Good job. Way to show up.
Way to show up. He was there.

Speaker 2 I would like to give an award to the man behind Taylor, whose somehow vision is so bad that that man gotta wear glasses to run track. Jason is his name, I believe.
Shout out to Jason

Speaker 2 for Neen. I can't see them lines.
Who ran unattached and just put his first name on his shirt. He said, Jason, I'm Jason.
I'm going to run this 800-meter relay behind. Look at Taylor.
Look at Taylor.

Speaker 2 Out of nose out the mouth. That's a textbook, man.

Speaker 2 I want to give an award to Hawk. He was quarterback-friendly today.
Every time I needed it, Hawk was open. When every time I got tripped up, drop it to Hawk.

Speaker 2 He's going to get us four or five yards off that thing, keep the sticks rolling. I got to give one right back to Nick for comeback player of the show.

Speaker 2 He came in here with the strategy. And like Michael Jordan, we didn't always like it, right? It wasn't always friendly.
It wasn't always kumbaya, but he cares about winning.

Speaker 2 And if you don't like that, that's fine.

Speaker 2 Somebody called me Michael Jordan on the street yesterday, anyway. This is amazing.

Speaker 1 Can you tell this story really quickly?

Speaker 2 No, I can't. I don't want to attribute everything to racism, but

Speaker 2 the fact that you're not bald isn't.

Speaker 2 You look nothing like Michael Jordan.

Speaker 2 I'm not even saying that.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's nuts.

Speaker 1 It's nuts. And you're just much younger and more sober at this point.

Speaker 2 Hold on. What was the context?

Speaker 1 You're just whining. Someone's like, Michael Jordan.

Speaker 2 That's exactly what happened. That's exactly what happened.
I don't know. Maybe my, I was tired yesterday, so maybe my eyes were like Hennessy Brown.
So they was like, it was, they were con,

Speaker 2 they were cognac tinted.

Speaker 2 I had cognac-tinted eye whites, and they were like, oh. I think it had more to do with Miami Music Week.
Possibly.

Speaker 1 Can we get an award to the Phila Nicey Award to Chris Cody for the greatest Jake Rudin impersonation I've ever heard?

Speaker 2 Limited fakes are incredible. Robert and Kirk.
Oh, give me. Where's Ringo?

Speaker 2 Where's Fat Rob?

Speaker 2 Hit us with a little ringo. The Beatles.
We are the Beatles.

Speaker 2 We smoked him game two. Come to the sprint and everything.
One-one, baby.

Speaker 2 But bad news. Tomorrow, interviews are back.

Speaker 2 No, we had a day. We had a day to prepare.
I'm be ready for the interviews, guys. Trust me.
And I need some load management, so I'm not going to be here till Friday. You guys hold it down.

Speaker 2 All we need is you to make sure the score is even when I come back. This is a I'll bring my A game.
This is a tough rubber match. My number two is not going to show up, but we're going to get it done.

Speaker 2 I got to figure some things out. Charlie, we'll figure some things out.
Call in some reinforcements. I'm going to ask you.
Charlie, you got a question for the guest tomorrow? You good? All right.

Speaker 2 I'm going to prepare better for the interviews. I'm going to write the whole damn interviews out.
You guys don't know how crazy I am. I was sick last night for how bad we lost the channel.

Speaker 2 He's just going to talk about how competitive he is and do absolutely nothing different.

Speaker 2 You got me. I'm going to get drunk tonight.
We're out.
