Postgame Show: We're Here! Don't Go There! (feat. JuJu Gotti)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Grab a bottle of Smarinoff at your local retailer and head to Smearinoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day. Smearing off! Please drink responsibly.
Smear it off.

Number 21, vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume. The Smarinoff Company.
New York, New York. Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.
Smearing off.

Juju tossed me a stat of the day here. The Ravens defense has four sacks this season.

39-year-old Callaeus Campbell has three sacks this season.

The Ravens defense has been truly epically terrible. We're going going to get to the useless sound montage in a second.
We're going to get to against the spread in a second.

But first, we have this breaking news from Jane Levy. We don't know where Jeremy slept last night.
And

Jane Levy. Levy, that's a fine.
Sorry, my bad. Yes, you're levying a fine.
Jane Levy. That's my type of joke.

Jane Levy is calling you a boy toy because you forgot to mention that you went to the Yankee Red Sox game and you forgot to plug her book, Make Me Commissioner, I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and how to fix it.

Did she demand that the boy toy call her Kamish?

No, but she did demand that I plug this book for everyone, which I am doing right now. So there was a means to an end, huh? Seemingly.

No, I mean, look, I already bought the book myself. I also bought her Sandy Koufax book because I'm fascinated by Koufax and she wrote the book on Sandy Koufax.
But

I know we've like had a lot of fun.

The most fun experience to be at that baseball game for what ended up being a historic ninth inning, it wasn't the way I think anybody in that stadium really wanted it to go, but to be there for the Yankees to load the bases and ultimately not come through, hanging out with Brian Ross, like a legendary journalist, investigative journalist from NBC News and ABC News, David's brother.

It was really like a remarkable experience.

Were there any like lulls in conversation? Was it constant challenge? Constant.

Yeah, we were just talking about, we ended up in in conversations about like middle relievers developing new pitches as Luke Weaver came in and struggled.

And we talked about which pitches that we were seeing that we think maybe would be challenged in the future. Like it was a baseball fans baseball conversation.
Cody, what are you laughing about?

I was eating it up. What are you laughing about?

What are you guys doing?

I can't repeat what was just said to me.

Again? If it's a conversation about middle relievers, I want nothing to do with it. I'm sorry.
I'm confused. So she invited you under the condition of like plug my book and you did not plug the book?

No, that wasn't why I was invited at the end of our conversation. It was

Jesus Christ.

Against the Miami Heat. Buy Make Me Commissioner.
Buy the book. Go buy it.
It's great. Jane is great.
I love her. Did you call her today? Did she call you? Like, what's the...
Texted her this morning.

Oh, you didn't bother waiting a day? Wait two days? No? My god. Right away.

Before we get to Against the Spread, let's play, please, the useless sound montage. We have waited too long.

Man, it's an honor to represent American football here in Dublin. Beautiful day in Western New York.
Glory to God for the weather.

First and foremost, all glory belongs to God, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Just want to thank him for this victory for us, keeping us safe for the most part.

The winner of these games when we play them usually starts out fast. We started out fast in the past.
They started out fast today. Not a big deal.
You know, just keep that between us.

Good to get a win.

Proud of the team. Never ever give up.
My gut was probably wrong a lot of the night. No, it's just a football game.
I think that's just the best way to describe it.

In the grand scheme of things, man, you better be careful grading wins. Those critical variables in football,

you know, generally they're not, it's not, they're underemphasized. Great to get Chris back.
His aunt died, and it was good to get him back here.

I don't think you should be that sensitive about it, but it is what it is, not to worry about it. No, we got to keep that between us.

You know, it's a tie, and I really don't know what to say about that. The game and the work that you put into the game never lied to you.
Kudos to TA and company, but also kudos to the men.

Try to go one and all. The standards are the standards.
The identity is the identity, and it doesn't change for anybody.

That's the only thing you can do when you're in a spot like this: just keep coming out, keep swinging. We got to learn how to win.
You know, this is year one of our program.

You can't fight and get behind the eight ball against good teams and expect to win. We work on it, we get better, get back to work, and

regroup, rethink. Not blink when a lot of people are telling them to blink.
Good things happen, you know, to those who just stay consistent and stay ready. You got to feel the taste of it.

Yeah, you just hope that there's no mechanical problems that slow the plane down from taking off. When you score zero points, it's not good enough.
If it's good to get away, I'm happy for our players.

I'm happy for our coaches. They put a lot of time and effort and energy into us.
I can just... open my eyes and see an entire team and stadium and organization that doesn't have time for my feelings.

Component of it being a great trip is doing the job, and thankfully, we were able to do that. Nope, we're just going to keep that between us right now.
That's just that's it.

Coach Parcels used to put the mousetraps up everywhere. You'd come in on the next day if he thought it was one of those games, and then there'd be thousands of them.

There's nobody that puts more pressure and needs more frustration than I do on where we're at.

We're in the Ultimate Parody League, and I think that's why we have such a good relationship with our fans, man.

And we enjoy putting our talents and skills on display for them. But Miss a 56-yarder, but that's 56-yards, you know, so we've gotten spoiled.
The complimentary football today showed up.

Obviously, making plays in three phases. It doesn't take much.
You just tell them what's on your mind, and they already know what's up. He's been a stud, Nick.
I mean, the guy, he's a grown man.

I know what you're doing there, Paul. I know what you're doing.

I'm not going to answer that yet right now.

Put it on the poll, please, Juju. Does anyone eat more frustration than Brian Callahan?

I don't believe Dan Campbell when he says he had a coach put thousands of mousetraps around around the locker room before a trap game. I don't believe that.

Thousands of mouse traps. You know, they parcels is walking around with a box full of mouse traps

before big games and laying them out. I don't understand Schottenomer saying he's got to learn.
They have to learn how to win. Has no one on the team ever won a football game?

Dave Wanstead used to use lobster traps. More impressive than mouse traps.
Yeah, that's how Wanstead evolved.

Instead of just copycatting or stealing the idea of mouse traps.

I'm going to do it South Florida style. I'm going to see if Jimmy can lend me some of his lobster traps.

Let's do Against the Spread, get to the polls, and get to Juju's analysis, withering criticism of my performance on today's show.

Against the Spread, Against the Spread.

Against the Spread. Billy kicks off.

Wait, first, Against the Spread is brought to you by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.

Now,

go ahead.

All right, I'm looking at the NFL slate this week, and there's one game out there: the Dolphins versus the Panthers.

Dolphins on the road, favored by one and a half points. It's juicy, but I'm not going to go with that game.
I'm going to stay away from that game. Glad you mentioned it.

I'm going to go with the Giants plus two and a half at the Saints. The Saints,

they played the Bills close, but they're not a good team. The Giants,

they beat the Chargers.

We thought we were a good team.

Jackson Dart, I mean.

Is this a revelation? I don't know.

I just have a feeling about this Giants team, so I'm going to take the Giants plus two and a half against the New Orleans. Truly crappy analysis.
You have a feeling. Excellent.

Greg Cody, what's your pick?

Miami Hurricanes minus four and a half in tally.

Yes, please.

I am all in on the Canes.

Their past defense is much, much better equipped than last season to stop the seminals i like miami by at least a touchdown homer cody thinks it's gonna be a blowout homer cody thinks the um is gonna drag fsu are you covering the game at least a touchdown yes i will be riding off that game you making the drive no i am not

can you be at home picking it

you're covering i'm uh i'm running because because of the uh the government shutdown there's still no roads or highways you thought he was herbie and he had to sit it out

Why are you such a homer? Do you ever pick against the local teams? Like, ever? I don't, I don't, I don't have to. Yeah, they picked the Dolphins to lose to the Bills.

He thought the Marlins would be bad this year. Well, you picked the Dolphins to lose to the Bills when they were a 12.5 point under.

I did pick them to cover, which they did. Thank you.

Was it a homer pick? Yeah, against the spread. I picked them to cover.

Uh, Juju, what do you have for us today? Before we get to the polls here, uh, what did you think of today's show? Where was I especially crappy today?

The first spot you was crappy. I pulled teeth and nails every show trying to get y'all to talk to W.
Something awesome happens in the W. Let's bring in Jessica Smartana to talk about it.

And I'm off a salute to Jessica. She's an expert also, but I would love to be in those conversations.
It's my life over here. Well, have it out of here, Nordic.
It's right here. And it's there.

It's right here.

We're here. Don't go there.
We're right here. We're here right now.
Tell us what you thought about Nafisa Collier, what she had to say, and also tell us what you think about these WNBA finals.

I should tell people, Ali Upa is something he's doing with Trista. They've got great chemistry, and their coverage of the league is exceptional.
So tell us what you got.

Nah, I care about the show, and I understand the fans of the show have an attention span for the W. And we rolled out the red carpet for my sister Jessica.
We got into it.

So all I would say is salute to head coach Stephanie White of the Indiana Fever, Natasha Howard, Aaliyah Boston, Odyssey Sims, Kelsey Mitchell, Lexi Hull, Breonna Turner, the whole squad,

Shea Petty, they show so much resilience going up against that Aces team shorthanded. Nothing but applause for that team.

I hope they keep the coach because that would be an abomination to get rid of her after this performance. And yeah, the final should be awesome.

I told you midway through the season, whenever Asia got her her hand hurt, you asked me, are the aces in trouble? I told you, boy, they're going to be all right. And guess what? They all right.

You feel me? You're wearing the Lamar Jackson gear. What did you think? We talked a lot, Lamar Jackson, today.
What were your thoughts there? Oh, yeah, I think that y'all were spot on.

And Nick was spot on. And Mike was spot on.
At first, it was so much coming from that side.

You know, as a black man, you can't help but see and feel that side that there has been an overcorrection on my brother. My brother got to win some of these big games, man.
Like,

that fumble in Buffalo last year, that it was snowing and it was rough conditions. But at the same time,

you out there. You got to get it done.
So you're spot on with Lamar.

Also with the Chiefs, when it comes to the Chiefs beating these teams, I think that the Buffalo Bills, my team, I think our defense is so ass that...

It is way, it's above and beyond. Like y'all said, when Josh makes it, he makes it because he has to put the Superman cape on.

They lose by one point because the defense can't stop a cold like last year patrick mahone was getting rid of that ball to elam side instantly we traded elam to the cowboys and now everybody wonder what's wrong with the cowboys defense it's kyer elam back to you okay that's all that's all that's wrong with the cowboys defense uh do you have any updates for us here on uh greg cody and his abominable position of we've got too many statues in sports oh yeah this isn't a sports statue, but I got to ask my brother his opinion on this statue.

They recently unveiled a Tina Turner statue, my brother. Oh, it's rough.

It is rough. Is it really? I haven't seen it.
It's rough. Oh, my God.
Video team, if you got it,

do my boy a favor and show it to him. But yeah, I got to ask you.

Is Tina Turner worth the statue, in your opinion, Greg? Yes. Yes.
If it's a music statue,

I'm going to put it on. Oh, my God.

It's really rough. Yeah, yeah.
I noticed

I don't see Ike anywhere there, which is probably just as well. Why would we want Ike there? What does that mean?

Where did he bring it? What would he need Ike there for? Ike and Tina Turner. Wait, he was not a nice man, rolling down the river.

That's why I'm making a joke about it's just as well that he's not there. It's not a laughing matter, Greg.
I know it really isn't. No.
Come on.

That's too much hair. She had a lot of hair, but that's over the top, literally and figuratively.
She actually didn't have a lot of hair.

Thank you. Real ones.
No, speaking of that, I got to ask my brother, Mike. Did you see Tony Romo over the weekend? Yeah, dude.
What's suspicious

going on?

And also, some other stuff going on. More the face for me.

Oh, my goodness. I instantly thought of Mike.
I'm like, uh-uh, I got to show this to Mike because he knows what's going on here. Mike, are you making a ruling as the

world's, certainly America's foremost authority, sports expert, on calling people out when they're doing things with their face, hair, teeth that is false? Bostizo. Yeah.

What are you ruling here? Dan, he went for the hat-trick. He did stuff with a hair, face, and teeth.
Damn.

It's giving hair, face, ass, teeth. Yeah, and also makeup on the hands, too.

Damn. That is the back of the hands.
He does have something on the back of the hands there as well. Tony Romo.
There's nothing wrong with that.

Dan. Also, Dan, this is the only correction I have for you from the show today.
His mama called him Castellanos. I'm going to call him Castellanos.
I don't know.

I don't think his mother does call him Castellanos. I don't think his mother does call him Castellanos.
Let's get her on. No, he says, this is a Matt Diaz situation where he's like, it's Diaz.

I'm like, no, brother, it ain't. You'll find out.
She's wrong, too. No, it's, I don't know that his mother calls him Castellanos.

I think he's been Americanized and he insists on making it Castellanos. I think she calls him Castellanos.
Why isn't it his choice? Why did she call him by his first name? Yeah.

Because the double L, you have to roll it if you're Hispanic. That's why.
If I want to pronounce my name Greg Cott, I'm Greg Cott. Your name actually is pronounced Cote, but you say Cody.

I know, so it's Cody.

Who owns my name? Julio Jones. I own my name.
I'm still reeling from your need to throw Ike Turner into a Tina Turner statue situation. He said he was glad that Ike wasn't there.
Yeah, he did.

Thank you, Billy.

This could also be a Cameron Ward situation in which, look, there's only one Cassianos in sports, and we don't want our name associated with that.

The boy toy over there is over-correcting now because

Jane Levy wants her book sold, and the boy toy does what he's told.

Please buy this book because Jane is wonderful and invited me to a baseball game under no false pretenses. Why is my dad holding up his book? I mean, we're all promoting books here all of a sudden.

Let's update the polls at Levittard Show. What do you have today, Juju?

Oh, my goodness.

Do you trust your airline pilot less if he or she talks with a Lisp? Come on, man. Lisp lives matter.

56% of the audience says yes.

They trust them less.

People are lying. They feel bad.
That's hungry. On your left, you'll see like Ben Kengin.

Also, I'm reminded there was nothing more on brand for Zaslow today for him to not understand how oil and money works. Bravo, brother.

You should have heard during the break, Zaz was in here wondering if the Saudis just have a bank account that's just endless numbers.

I mean, you're telling me the Saudis they never call their accountant to make sure they can afford it. All of a sudden, there's a chic going, we're overdrawn.

We're going to withdraw that offer to Brady.

Do you crush quesadillas?

90% of the audience says, yes, you do.

And the last poll, should we stop having sporting events in Long Island?

Sorry, guys.

81% of the audience says, yes, we should. And those are your polls.
Jeremy, did you find out for me the question I was asking about how the results came back on the poll from yesterday?

Yes, 367% of the audience voted yes.

What was the question?

You had asked the 17 to 3, is it insurmountable for Penn State to overcome a 17 to 3 since 19 whatever? Yeah.

800% of the audience voted yes. That joke would have hit harder if you read it for the.

If he had just let the joke sit for the second time this show.

Yeah. I was trying.

I work hard. I flew in.
I woke up at 4 a.m. to be back.
In our defense, we didn't want you here. I.
Why do I.

All right. We didn't ask for this either.
She wore your ass out, man. You were useless today.

Hey, man. Dan.
