Starting point is 00:00:00 there are some football moments that just live forever in your brain. You remember exactly where you were, who you were with, what you were drinking. And for me, what I'm drinking is Miller Light. Because those football moments are great. But making those moments, Miller Time moments, now that's something extra special. That's what I love about football season. Every weekend gives you a chance to relive another great weekend. You come in on Monday, all am from what you saw, and you come in and listen to Chris Cody,

We are going to get to juju in a second. Tony, over the last couple of years, is a rising voice in the football space when he says the Packers are
Starting point is 00:01:37 dog bleep. This is from ESPN Insights. They have an 18.4 pass block win rate. It's the lowest of any team through two games in the last 10 seasons. Like, love can't be good under these conditions. Yeah, they're talking
Starting point is 00:01:53 about Tucker Kraft playing left guard, which is exciting when your best tight end is also blocking. So, yeah. I mean, They just simply cannot block. When I'm looking at all the games through two games played in the last 10 years, and I'm saying this is as bad as you've ever seen by percentage on a quarterback can't play under those conditions. The Packers are busted up because they don't have their running back. They don't have Micah Parsons, and they shouldn't have won that Jets game.
Starting point is 00:02:18 But Tony, you're also doing it in Spanish. You're doing in English, in Spanish. Have you seen Zaz? I don't know if you were jealous of the opportunities that Tony is getting on the weekends, but he's a Spanglish voice for FIU football. Why are you making that scrunched up face? Why aren't you supportive? Why are you a hater?
Starting point is 00:02:34 No, no, no. I'm supportive, but you're saying I'm jealous. How can I be jealous of him doing a job? It's bilingual. I'm not bilingual. It is an incredibly difficult job. It's actually never been done before anywhere. Spanglish is a very uniquely Miami thing.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I actually have the pleasure of doing color for the FIU football team, alongside my dad who's doing play-by-play in Spanglish. So we get to do Spanish and English. I actually do work really hard on that because I have to learn. Long Island. That's the next visiting team for the Sharks. I don't know what they are yet. You probably learned that. I got to do my research.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I got to do my research. I got to do my research. I believe Rod Strickland's are basketball coaches. That's what Fridays are for, by the way. I do my deep dive on the team on Friday. Long Island University. No, not a moment before. Because you want to be fresh for the test.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I'm going to start starting on Monday and then I'm going to forget all the backup linebacker. Saturday night, I'm going to know. So Saturday night, 6 p.m. 990 a.m. locally. La Poderosa. There can't be many other broadcast teams were the day before they don't know the mascot. And he doesn't know that they're lost to know the mascot.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I don't need to know the mascot. The mascot's not the problem. But also can't be many broadcasts that are this low stakes. Incredibly high stakes, by the way, because we're dancing a fine line, Dan. Spanish and English, uniquely Miami, Spanglish. So this is a little bit of the FAU-FIU broadcast that we did. I had to leave early because I'd get down here.
Starting point is 00:03:57 To do it, no, to do my... That's the gamer. Listen, I had to leave the game early because I had an obligation to be here to do UFC content for the show. Wait a minute, I've never heard. I'm an announcer during the game having to leave for another sign.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Troy Ainkman did that once. I remember. But Troy Aiklin doesn't do UFC content also, which I also do. Joe Buck in the fourth quarter, sorry guys. Troy had to leave. Troy's got to do a UFC show. Yeah, well, that's what I have to do.
Starting point is 00:04:24 You want to do it the wrong way. If you want to be truly Miami Spanglish, you will run. arrive late. We also do that too. Pregame at 530. Pregame 530, kickoff versus the Long Island University. Sharks, I've been told.
Starting point is 00:04:37 That'll be at 6 p.m. But this is a little snippet from what we do in the broadcast, me and my dad. Do you think the people here at Bogas Raton, don't speak Spanish, know that they're living in rat's mouth? Boca de Raton. If we were to ask people here, oh, do you know that? They have absolutely not. At Rat's mouth?
Starting point is 00:04:54 Rat's mouth. I live in rat's mouth. Somehow it doesn't sound as sexy if you live in rat's mouth as Boca Rizzoa. Boca sounds a little better. I'm in Boca. I'm in Boca. I'm in Mouth. You're in Mouth.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Okay. Don't make me laugh. I'm trying to fight a cold. You've been fighting a cold for two weeks. I know. I know. I know. You don't have a cough button here.
Starting point is 00:05:14 It's in the studio. Yeah, I know. Excuse me. Third and three. There you go. Third and three to 25. Don't make me laugh. My dad's got a great Cody thing going on where he has this persistent cough also.
Starting point is 00:05:24 So in the middle of the broad guy, he'd just be like, which is always making me laugh. Didn't know it was a football game until third and three. Well, that's what we like to do around there. We like to have fun, but then all of a sudden, third and three to 25. You should have said third and thrace to keep the big going. The three bits of audio that we have played from hollowed out submarine bathrooms today. Trying to keep up in 2026, the media age of everyone's flying around in spaceships,
Starting point is 00:05:50 and we're giving you audio that sounds like it's from the advent of AM radio. Judeo, are you ready to pick from the bucket or have Chris Cody pick from the bucket for you, sir? Yes, I skis. Oh, the music is this, though. We got Thursday Thunder and the bucket at once. I don't know what's happening. Let's do them both.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Let's do them both at the same time. Let's mix and match our promotion and our game. All right, I'm rummaging here for you, Juju. Here we go. All right. The Packers. They got the Falcons tonight. Tonight.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I like it. I'm keeping them. I'm keeping it. If you want to against the Falcons, I want to. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Did you not hear what we just said to you? Did no one just hear what the Packers' offensive line is doing worse than anyone in the league over the last?
Starting point is 00:06:44 I like 10 years. I trust them. I trust them. Beautiful to Cory Harris, sir, is he on you, Juju. Thank you for doing that. Yes, sir. Appreciate your brother. man and it's official Thursday Thunder has broken the record for most consecutive two out of three bets in every single week bro
Starting point is 00:07:03 Guinness we salute you we take we thank you for that award so this week I got to fix I got four of them things for your head top first leg do you have your passport did you get your shots girl would you like to come back to America with Steve CD Lamb for at least five catches this Sunday, man. Lock it in. Didn't he have that like the first quarter last game? Esteval. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:07:35 And I know he's going to go crazy over there. Second leg, the man with the golden voice, Parker, Washington for at least five receptions against them past. They're going to need them. Next leg. Gino discovered he had a. couple of other weapons last week. Oh, it's a bird, it's a plane. It's Adonai Mitchell for at least four catches this week. Lock it in. And last leg, Kirkgo Chains out there in Vegas revealed this week
Starting point is 00:08:09 that his childhood crush was making good. Come on, man. So I know he's going to give Trey Tucker at least four catches this week. Thursday Thunder, Draft King's Sports, available in our 50 states, sloot. That was Thursday Thunder presented by Draft King's Sports. Drap Kings, the crown is yours. Before we get to the polls, when he says Chris Cody,
Starting point is 00:08:33 Parker Washington has a golden voice. Is he doing to him what we did to Chris Jones earlier this week? Does Parker Washington have a voice that sounds different than you might think that Parker Washington sounds? Is that what's happening there? Yes, Dan, it's a new segment we're calling unexpected voices. We had Chris Jones earlier in the week, and now we have from the Jags Parker Washington.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I saw like a little WWE thing. I was like, okay, let me think about Undertaker, and he was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up, so I was like, let me see if I want to do something like that. Was there a different celebration when you got to the sidewalk? Nah, I just bring energy to the team, man. And it was just cool to just start strong and have fun and just have a great one today.
Starting point is 00:09:16 There's some Mahomes in there. I hear a little Mahomes in there. And octave higher, though. An undercurrent of Patrick Mahomes. how is that person better than Brian Thomas at catching footballs and getting open for Trevor Lawrence? We have one more clip of Parker Washington. Miscommunication on the interception or was it good play? What happened on that from your view?
Starting point is 00:09:37 Yeah, they had a nice coverage out there for us. You know, and they just made a good play. I mean, so it was just, you know, they're, you know, they're professional as well. Coaches made great calls, so it's just one of those. I like it. Kind of like an old-school R&B singer-bi. Yeah, he's got the soul glow thing going. I like it.
Starting point is 00:09:58 The extra long red goatee. Yeah, you don't see that often, you don't hear that often. I'm a Parker Washington guy. So when you guys are doing R&B, though, are you guys saying that there's an undercurrent of sensuality in his voice? Undercurrent. I mean, he's wearing a sports coat and an A shirt. That's on an undercurrent. That's a full current.
Starting point is 00:10:20 That's an overcurrent. Let's get to the polls, please, at Lebitard show. You had your game as a big game this weekend, huh Zaz? You insist on your game. No, no one asked me. No one asked me. You said that's not a big game. I said, wait and see.
Starting point is 00:10:36 And no one asked me. All right, well, is it a big game? Is the game that you're going to? Forgive me here, Juju, for interrupting this segment. We'll get to the polls in a second. But I do think it's very important that Zaslo deliver on the promise to the audience. You're going to Happy Valley this weekend. You are going to Penn State and Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:10:55 I will never trust Wisconsin at any of their sporting events to win anything meaningful at any time in their history in basketball or football. If I ask you right now, you go basketball when thinking of the biggest victory in Wisconsin history in our lifetimes of Wisconsin playing the two big sports. You're not going to football, are you? You're going to basketball. This is nice and tight. I don't think about them at all. Nice and tight question.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Keep it going. What's the question? Look, the inner monologue is my own voice talking to me. Don't explain the show to me, pal. No, but, what's the game? No, but no, I would not be self-critical about not being intentional. We wasted a two-truths. I would not be critical.
Starting point is 00:11:38 I gave you the Memphis Tigers. The inner monologue. Don't do this. Two minutes set up. You don't have so much to say when I'm doing it to Greg. Here, over there is jovial laughing. Oh, it's so funny when it's someone else. That's not my inner monologue.
Starting point is 00:11:50 That's you arguing. like Mike's scared to do him with them. Stay in character. You should stay in character. Dan's just not fun. I like doing it with Greg because he doesn't do shit like this. Because this isn't what you do to Greg. Just get to the G.
Starting point is 00:12:05 You talk in his voice as his inner thoughts. And me, you're secretly critical and mocking me in a way I would not be doing to myself. Yes. Congratulations. You get it. Juju, let's update the polls, please. Is there a big air with that? Is interlocking your fingers the official posture of the smug?
Starting point is 00:12:34 91% of the audience says, yes, it is. Dildos. Was Oscar de Grouch a hating-ass hater? 81% of the audience says, yes, he was. Dildos. And last poll, does Pelle Larson get all up in your shit? 58% of the audience says yes, and those are your pose. Dildos.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Is it a big game or is it not a big game? Which game? FIU versus Long Island. In the history of Wisconsin, they've never won an important game. Oh, come on! We're going to do this again? We're going to do this again. They made a final four a couple years ago.
Starting point is 00:13:17 In basketball, they have won some meaningful games, but their football program has not won. Ever since Barry Alvarez started grifting from them with both coaching salad. and athletic director salaries. Is it a big game or is it not a big game, Jonathan Zaslow? Basketball or football? Oh, screw this guy. Their football team hasn't won a big game in a long time. None that anyone here can remember.
Starting point is 00:13:40 He stopped the Keynes a couple years ago. You remember that time where you guys spoke at the exact same time and Zaz looked petrified? Zaz forgot that. He turned Canadian. He went, sorry, sorry, sorry. I do remember that. And I was thinking about that privately just now. So thank you for accurately representing my inner monologue.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Finally, an accurate representation of exactly what it is that I was secretly thinking about. I was still relishing the fact that he was so ashamed of interrupting me that he got filled with Canadian shame. Can? Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about that privately, and I was going to leave here today feeling victorious. I've never sounded so tepid. Is it a big game or is it not a big game? The football game. Bye-bye.
