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.

Folks, losing at fantasy football has consequences.

It really does. I mean, a new tattoo, a bad haircut, waffle challenges.
I've seen those waffle challenges. Those look delightful.

You're stressing me out with that soundboard. Well, fantasy football is stressful.
So stressful that it can lead to nighttime teeth grinding. Dentech's mouth guards help with nighttime teeth grinding.

I'm actually a grinder, and it's a problem I have. And that's why Dentech wants to protect your teeth while raising the stakes with this fantasy season.

that's right it's thursday thunder and it's presented by draft kings draft kings the crown is yours juju what do we got

yes sir Thursday night football equals Thursday Thunder. And that Lions secondary right now is super duper banged up.
But you know who don't give a damn about none of that?

Dak Prescott.

So I'm going over on my man, CeeDee Lamb tonight, over 84.5 yards tonight. Come on, man.
They ain't going to be able to guard him. Can't guard the man.
Guess who else?

I'm going over on George Pickens, man. Over 70 yards for my boy tonight.
I think they both are gonna have a pretty big game, but I'm going with 70 yards. And the last leg,

my boy Amaran St. Brown, man.
He hurt. Somebody's gonna have to step up in that slot on the outside, wherever they're gonna line him up at.
I'm going with Tom Kennedy for over 2.5 catches tonight.

Great, White. Hope I see you.

All right, there you go. Juju, college football has their conference championships this weekend, but we have a lot of controversy.

Do you have any solutions? What we could do about it? Yeah, man, I think college football should institute another week.

Like, just reserve a week, bruh, for the breakup pool stick over one knee, toss it at two teams who want to go to the playoffs week because this is this is the only way to really just handle all of this, bro.

We can do what we want to do. We see how the president acts.
Man, let's just add another week, man. Let's do it.

All right. I mean, I like that idea.
He sold me. I like that idea.
More football? Yeah. What do you think about the conference semifinals? These conferences are too big.

You have the committee rank the top four teams. You use head-to-head as a primary tiebreaker.
You get the top four teams, and you boost people's resumes that deserve to be in the playoff.

You get more quality losses. You just get more data points.
You remove one regular season game and the teams that aren't in the playoff, they play one another based on ranking too.

So you can find out really who's the best in each power conference top to bottom. I like that.
Yeah. I like that a lot.
Yeah. Peter Burns had an idea too.
Lebatar challenge this weekend. Miami.

I think he's right, by the way. If I had the option of watching Miami or Texas for a like, you know, who gets in, prove it kind of deal, or Ohio State and Indiana, I'm more, obviously unbiased.

I'm more interested in Miami, Texas. Right.
I would also say I'm more interested. Also, I know that we got people on networks who are this big of stars, this big, they know this knowledge.

But I'm tuning in to what Mike Ryan Ruiz is saying on Twitter about them canes because he is taking down dragon after dragon, pulling up with the weak ass screenshots of that some damn Notre Dame schedule.

Salute, my dog. Mike Ryan exclusive.
Follow him if you're not following him right now. There you go.
I've annoyed myself.

But I have to for the cause.

I get it. Juju, you have a top five for us here today? Ah, man.
I heard damn earlier you're talking about turnovers just happen out of thin air. Bro, the Panthers deserve credit.
The Panthers defense.

They was turning Brock Purdy over last week, and they moved on to the next week and did the same thing to my boy Matt Stafford.

So it made me think of top five people or things that deserve more credit, man. Like this.

Come on, man. OLI, Aaron Gordon.

My boy lost his brother last night, last year in the playoffs. Had a buzzer beater dunk in a series that went seven games.
Like, he's been stepping up.

He out with an injury right now, but he done proved to be a good piece next to the Joker, man. Had a 50 burger this season, too.

Come on, bro. Put respect on my boy name.
Also, OLI, self-driving cars, man. What is this?

It's incredible. I don't know if y'all seen that.
I don't know if Zach, you heard about them self-driving cars. Yo, you're nuts if I see him getting into a self-driving car.

What's the matter with you?

Exactly, man. Number five, Dan said it, brought it up.
Lane Johnson, man.

Look, Eagles look bad without the boy, man.

Somehow, some way they look bad without him. Salute.
You got Paul on the list?

Number four,

Bryce. Every other week, Bryce Young.

You can't trust him every week. That's true.
Every other week, Bryce Young. There's bad Bryce.
Yeah, for sure.

Every other week, though, MVP candidate. That's when the Bryce, right?

Look at my boy. Back.
Come on, Jeremy. Put the camera on Jeremy for that.
When I give my boy some shine. Yes, sir, man.
Million dollar smile. Number three,

Caleb Williams, man. Like

the bears are the number one seed. That's a real sentence.
What are we doing? He, he, we, we, we make fun of him about the nails and the pink and all this stuff.

Nah, let's put some respect on my boy and some credit where it's due. Let's be just as loud as when we gonna hate on my man.
You feel me?

Number two,

the beeps during weekend observations.

Bruh, that was rough to listen to a meme without no beeps.

And the number one thing, a person that deserves more credit in the world, bruh. I don't know if y'all remember this thing called Sheets and Giggles, but I remember my boy used to struggle.

I'm talking about struggle so bad, but now my boy Chris Cody read at Reed's live on air. Come on, man.
Thanks. Give my boy some more credit.
I have gotten a lot better. I've noticed.

Wow, a lot better at times. I've noticed.
Good for you.

Hell yeah, man. Also,

breaking news yesterday, I don't know if y'all keep up with this type of stuff. Darius Slay, my cousin, just got picked up by the Buffalo Bills, man.
Come on, man.

We are alive. I don't care how the season ends, man.
We're just going to have fun every Sunday, bro.

This week, we probably going to have trouble against them Bengals, but we're going to have fun doing it, bro. Juju, tell us how everybody can watch you on alley oop

Make sure you check Juju out, uh, all of his friends, including my homegirl Trista Crick, on Alleyoop. Uh, but speaking of Alley Oop,

we haven't done in a couple days, guys.

I got an MVP.

Oh, yeah.

That's right. I don't know if you guys saw.

If we're gonna have a conversation about MVP,

better talk a little bit about Jamal Murray. Talk to him.
Cool. The Denver Nuggets last night, they win at the Pacers.
Now, the Pacers suck. Everybody knows that.
The Nuggets win 135 to 120.

And Jamal Murray, not only did he score a season high, an NBA season high, 52 points last night,

he was 10 for 11 from three.

That means he missed just one shot from three. It means he made 10 shots from three.
30 points.

It means that 30 of his 52 points came from three pointers. Jamal Murray.
If we're going to have a conversation about MVP,

time we start mentioning him.

Mm-hmm.

Amen. Brother, preach.
Preach, Zaz. Yeah, I just did.
I preached.

MVP

of the day.

Hell yeah.

Juju, let's update some polls, man.

Yes, sir, man. More famous Yankee Clipper.
The hotel in Fort Lauderdale.

Joe DiMaggio or Tyler Clippard.

66% of the audience says Joe DiMaggio. Thank God.
Come on, guys.

Will Jimmy Butler's jersey be retired in Miami?

I saw two sidebar before I read this answer. Miami Heat.
I hate to do this to y'all. It's time to come home, bro.
I get on Jaden Brown. It's time to come home, bro.

We got to cut the Michael Jordan jersey off, bro. We got to cut the Dan Marino jersey off.
I was like, who's bolting on the heat? It's like, Spo?

right?

The heat themselves.

87% of the audience says, No, Jimmy Butler's jersey will not be retired in Miami. You're allowed to be remembered fondly with an organization without having your number hanging in the rafters.

Like, why is that? Why is that the be-all, end-all? You don't need your number retired. Sorry, right? Not sorry.

Did Pablo Torre ruin the Clippers?

89% of the audience says,

yes, he did.

Wow.

They've been terrible for a long time.

Right, bro. Investigate them boys.
Also,

I'm not saying I agree with David Sampson,

but if this was a movie about a player who wanted to get traded, he would look just like Giannis looked yesterday. I'm not saying he's faking, though.
I know it looked real.

I'm going to stay on the right side of history.

Do you respect someone less if they

hold on? I got to start back over. This is a doozy for a hooked on Finnex member like myself.

Do you respect someone less when they think they have to have their mouth?

Oh, shoot, one more time.

Do you respect someone less if when they think they have to have their mouth more open?

83% of the audience says yes.

I'm just happy I got through that. I can't believe I've done it.
That was both done. Ladies and gentlemen, thank y'all, man.

Is shivved spelled with one V or two V's?

61% of the audience says

two Vs. Yeah, I think so.

And last poll, does David Sampson sound like an old woman? Damn, bro. People say I sound like an old lady, too.

81% of the audience says, yes, he does. And those are your polls.
You have to wrap, Tony.
