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, but what's your favorite game day food?
Speaker 1 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.
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.
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 4 This is a Zaslow and Juju exclusive. I should tell you all to check out AlleyOop.
Speaker 4 I will tell you again and again that Juju and Trista have an unusual chemistry different from any other that you will find at Metalark, AliOOP, wherever it is you get your podcast and its own YouTube channel.
Speaker 4 What do you have, Zaslow, for
Speaker 4 MVP of the day nominees?
Speaker 3 Glad you asked, Dan.
Speaker 3 I don't know if you know about that Norman Powell.
Speaker 1 Different segment. I do.
Speaker 3 But if we're going to have a conversation about MVP,
Speaker 3 we better be mentioning Norman Powell.
Speaker 4 That's crazy.
Speaker 3 32 points last night, 11 of 18 overall. And most importantly,
Speaker 3
A much improved Miami Heat team. They're 11 and 6.
If your team sucks and then you add a really good player and your team's really good, I don't know what your definition of most valuable is.
Speaker 3
Like value. But that seems pretty valuable to me.
So if we're going to talk about MVP, we better have a conversation about Norman Powell.
Speaker 4
I'm just, I am going to say it again through 15 games. Only one other player, 46% from two, 46% from three, and 24 points a game.
It's Giannis, and it's only because he doesn't shoot threes.
Speaker 4 Like, he's not actually shooting the threes at the rate that Powell is shooting.
Speaker 3 Sounds like you're backing up my case.
Speaker 1 Yeah, that add add to that, guys. Players averaging 25 points per game or more.
Speaker 1 FVP
Speaker 5 of the day
Speaker 1
on 65% or greater true shooting percentage thus far this season. Jokic, Giannis, SGA, Curry, Hardin, Norman Powell.
I don't see Jimmy Baldwin.
Speaker 4 Juju, are you endorsing this nonsense?
Speaker 5
I always endorse my brother Zasla, whatever he has to say. I disagree with him because I have already called it the Joker is your 2005 25-26 MVP.
But you can't deny what Norman Powell is up to, bro.
Speaker 5
Because like last year when Josh Allen won the MVP, I know Lamar had a spectacular season, but take this man away and that team will be downhill. So I get you, bro.
That's right.
Speaker 4 Luca, nutmeg, Kevin Love.
Speaker 4 Listener comment of the day, anything worthy of grabbing from the YouTube chat?
Speaker 4 I should tell people, by the way, the last two seasons that Chip Kelly was calling plays, offensive coordinator for the Raiders this year, 49ers in 2016, a 4-23 record with 17 points a game. I suck.
Speaker 4 17 points a game. That's the highest paid offensive coordinator in the world.
Speaker 2 What did he do at UCLA, too?
Speaker 4 That's according to Josh Dubau.
Speaker 4 That is not my stat. Juju, listener of the day.
Speaker 5
Yes, sir. I'm going to Ben Gardner.
Salute to my brother Ben Gardner, who had this to say.
Speaker 5 Dan's prediction that Bill Belichick was going to conquer college football is proving to be my personal favorite. Dan was loud, wrong prediction.
Speaker 4
Yeah, that hasn't gone so well for me. I don't love your giggling laughter there.
Don't love it.
Speaker 1 Can't get over my dad's reaction.
Speaker 5 Dan was wrong. Dan was wrong hoodies right now available on levataraf.com.
Speaker 4 Speaking of hoodies, you guys will believe this and won't believe this. Zaslow went to Madison, Wisconsin, and did a morning show outdoors wearing just University of Miami like gear.
Speaker 4 Like he was just wearing a sweatshirt.
Speaker 3 Is that a sweatshirt? A hooded sweatshirt.
Speaker 4 20 degrees,
Speaker 4 20 degrees Madison morning. He's dressed like you would dress for spring break.
Speaker 3 What would make you believe that I have that type of clothing?
Speaker 1 Do you have money? You're an adult?
Speaker 3 Yeah, but I just, I don't have.
Speaker 2 You have a car?
Speaker 3 I don't have a coat. Yeah, I have a car.
Speaker 2 Can you drive to a store? You got a driver's license?
Speaker 3 I don't know how cold it's going to be the places I go. I show up and I deal with it.
Speaker 4 So you got a car. He doesn't have any winter clothes.
Speaker 1
You got money. You can drive to the store.
How about you go get yourself a coat?
Speaker 3
All right, well, I don't know how cold it's going to be the place I go. I show up and hopefully I'm dressed appropriately.
All I had was a hooded sweatshirt. I was very cold.
Speaker 4 Juju, can I tickle you on the way out here just by playing to you
Speaker 4 a in-game interview with Andrew Luck that will go exactly as you imagine an in-game interview would go with somebody who loves Stanford this much?
Speaker 5 Yes, sir.
Speaker 1
Stanford's general manager and Andrew Luck. We were talking a little bit about how important this rivalry is for you, being able to be a part of it.
How meaningful is it? It's huge.
Speaker 1 It was great to be as a player and now be as a GM and watch these guys. I'm going to watch here for a second.
Speaker 1 Hope both.
Speaker 1
Go, Jake, go. Go J.
Gojan.
Speaker 1 Fumble returned for a touchdown mid-interview.
Speaker 2 And recover by CJ.
Speaker 4 Andrew Luck was riding a bicycle next to him the last 40-yard line, last 40 yards, a bicycle with two wheels in the back.
Speaker 4
Thank you, Juju. Appreciate the time, sir.
Yes, sir.
Speaker 5 Thank you, guys.
