You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. We're still here. Yeah, we are. We haven't left. Some of you are probably thinking, oh, it's going to be out late the rest of the day. No, no. We're still here because we have to go against the spread today. We do.

Yes. And we have business to tend to. Yeah. Is it tend to or a tend to? I thought it was a tend to. I think a tend to garden, right? Yes. Like a tend to garden, but you said tend to something?

Yes. Sure. I'll go with it. I just came up with that. I don't know. Made it up. Have you ever gardened? Never.

Really? Yeah. You have a green thumb. Like a legal garden? No. Wait. Here we go. You're pretending that you have some sort of secret drug ring where you're growing drugs in your house What is the end game here? You want us to pretend you like some sort of drug dealer kingpin that you have like some grow house somewhere? No, cuz you live in Miami and everyone those drugs in Miami. What are you saying? I'm not saying anything. Okay. Okay

It gets cool eating drugs are cool. I never said anything. They're legal and yes I'm just asking no judgment here. I'm just asking if that's what he said it was the Florida where it's illegal Oh, it's your North Carolina home could be anyone god I was could be anywhere. How is it this state of all states is like the only state that hasn't legalized marijuana yet? I feel like there's a lot of other states that have any either. So, yeah, I mean, but most states, I don't know, I feel like there's a lot of states that are clearly both medically and recreationally for cannabis.

And we're not one of them. And it's annoying to me already. Someone pays someone a lot of money and get it done. Well, that's not how things are supposed to go. You went lobbyist to show up in telehastic, but you know, I want someone to pay someone off and get it approved. So you can get it. That's how we things are you well lobbyist to show up and tell a has a but you know I want someone to pay someone off and get it approved so you can get that we roll down here. You can get a medical card here I know people that have the Corbin get on it. Isn't that cool Billy? You know people that have medical cards Medical card is funny like you go to one of these places and you start typing in your order

They ask for your medical card you say you don't one, and like you request a doctor in 15 minutes later, you have your card. Might as well get a card. It's what you think. Yeah, definitely. Cannabis. Gout. Anyway, the point is the funny word. Well, Gout's very serious.

You shouldn't get it. I know it is not a laughing matter. Oh, really? Turfto. Really? Just saying. Okay. I can't live a gout now.

I'm just... It's a funny word. I'm just it's a funny word. Well, it's not a funny. 2023, that's a funny issue. I'm sorry. What were you getting to? Well, I was gonna say that we're still here. We've had a poll going on all day long. We're trying to figure out if Lucy knows where she's going.

Oh, tomorrow or not. Yeah. We think we're going to Georgia, Florida. Well, okay, so here's my question. Because it's very late in the proceedings here, but two guys just came up with another game. Can we add an option? Are you open to maybe going somewhere else?

Oklahoma, Kansas is a sneaky big game. Where's that? Manhattan? It's at Kansas. That's Lawrence. I'm wearing my Kansas seat. That's a fun one. That's a big, fine, absolutely.

Kansas state is man. Yeah, yeah. It's a little apple. We all know that. A little apple. The little apple. We all know that. The little apple. The little apple.

Would that be a consideration for you? I don't. I don't think so. This Kansas team, they're better than previous Kansas teams, but they haven't won as much as people expected this year. I think Oklahoma bounces back. They almost lost to UCF last week in Jeremy Tache. Correctly called it on against the spread.

And this game had one of my favorite moments of the college football weekend where UCF had like a 70 yard touchdown pass and the receiver is running towards the in zone sees Brent Vinnables and blows him a kiss. It was perfect and it led me to my take that I think everyone should adopt on sportsmen like conduct should be allowed if it's funny. And it was very funny. There should not have been a penalty on that. I love that take. I love that idea. Put it on the pole, Roy. on sportsmen like conduct should be allowed if it's funny and it was very funny. There should not have been a penalty on that.

I love that take, I love that idea. Put it on the pole, Roy. Do you have like, how do you decide you have like a panel? See that's the part I run into issues with. I'm more of the ideas person and not the logistics. What if there's like a funny official? Like, so you have all of your like referee, sideline judges, whatever.

He's dressed like a clown. No, I think he's like a rode a clown? He's like a rodeo clown He's like a rodeo clown. I have a walk-syn like But with a referee shirt, though, but everything else is clowned. I just want to be clear here This is great. So one official is dressed like a clown, right? And he is in charge or she is in charge of determining whether Unsportsman like conduct penalties are funny. Yeah, but you have to drive, they have to drive, they have to drive out onto the field. With like, a clown car. Yeah, a clown car, and they,

but like a bunch of them get out, but only one referee is the clown rougher, and a different color flag. Yeah, no, when they go to pull out the flag, it's like the hanky, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a dilemma that I try to figure out, and I think that it's a time consideration,

but I feel like I can't say no to this. So I'm doing the FIU game tonight and then I saw somewhere and I need to- You're late by the way. Into this? Yeah, I need to look into it. I saw that in the pre-game tailgate thing, there was gonna be a extreme pogostick demonstration.

That was like, I feel like I wanna see that, but I think it's also like at four o'clock, and then I have to like tell my wife, I can't pay attention to our family because I need to go to a book with stick demonstration. It wasn't gonna reach them. It's extreme. She won't go for it, Billy.

I don't know if it's a real life or so. It's a work. I think that's a lie. You've crossed a line, Billy. But the thing is, it's the truth, right? I love this idea. Clown suit, referee. Yeah, that's the greatest.

Because before that, before you brought up the clown suit, I was just gonna say make anyone on the staff laugh. Like any of the referees, if they laugh, we take the flag away. But I like the clown better with a handkerchief that just keeps coming out. He's coming out, I got a red nose. He's got like a hat, he's got it with the hair coming out.

Genius. Makes the flag disappear, the whole deal, right? It does a magic show. Magic clown? Stupid. I know. Alright, it's that time of the week. Woo! Yeah, no what that music means.

That's right. It's time for... Look at the end. So sweet. I guess this is Brad Esmeralde. You might drive King's Wussbrook. Use code Dan when you sign up on the app. I'm going to turn him off for a new customer.

All right, let's start with Tony here. Let's start with the NBA boys. The NBA is back. Yep. Victor Wemman, Yama's start tonight. First one. I'm going against him. Really? Against the spread. I'm taking a thousand average.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Minus three and a half. Luca, Kyrie, and Demboys. Taking the MF minus three and a half. Lucy, the rest of the Mavericks team should have Demboys on the back of the deck. Yeah, Demboys. Yeah. I would, is on a buy-out. I would, is on a buy-out. in the M-Mafs, my last red half. Lucy, the rest of the Mavericks team should have them boys and the back of their boys.

Yeah, their boys, yeah. Yeah, their boys. Yeah. Iowa is on a buy this week, so we have no Iowa under, which is very, very sad. That's the worst. And it would have hit. It would have hit undoubtedly Iowa Northwestern will.

So instead, I'm going to- Wait, Lucy, real quick, before you give your pick, what do you think the over-under will be for Northwestern and Iowa? It's got it's got to be around 30 like I there's no way Are they gonna drop it below 30? I think so Lucy the last two games I will I will has played it and you know this I think If the overrunner was set at 25 both games would have been under every time crazy every single time Yes, and it's worse has there ever been an overrunner set at 28 points? So been under. Every time. Every single time. Yes. So yes.

So yes. Has there ever been an over under set at 28 points? No, I think it would be the lowest ever. Because I thought 30 was close to the lowest ever. And I believe in the past, however many 10 years, all the lowest ones, I think seven of them have been Iowa games. Every single time. We may hate the team, but they are the perfect gambling team.

They are, you're right. All right, do you take it? All right, I'm for Clemson NC State. These are two not good teams, but they always play a really close game. It's in Raleigh, so I'm taking NC State plus 10. Oh, again. It's the spring.

Roy. All right, National Hockey League tonight, we got the capitals and the devils. Capitals coming off a loss. So I'm down on the road, I'm gonna go with the devils, they are a one and a half goal favorite. The devils will win tonight again.

And this is great. One and a half goals hockey game, man. That is a dangerous game. Yeah. Sorry, anyway, go ahead, Bill. I'm gonna take the Texans minus three over the Panthers both teams are coming off of a buy Texans have bit down there they're both coming off of buy but the Texans did win their last game stay hot over the Saints The Panthers lost their last game against the dolphins by 21. Yeah, they they've looked pretty bad all year long Panthers and CJ Stroud their win list Billy. Yeah

And they they've lost all of their games as you mentioned win list and their their closest loss was by three Right, and that was like week two or something. So like they haven't been playing particularly close games Right feel like CJ Stroud and the Texans are gonna win this one. And then boys. I like that. What's the spread? It's minus three Texans. So you're taking the Texans minus three. Correct. Oh, good.

Good. Good. Do gots. Thank you. This one's for you. Okay. It's for you. Wow.

The Vikings. Oh, they are back. They are in the mix. They have won three straight. They are traveling to Green Bay this weekend. They are taking on the Packers. Jordan Love, not good. Ooh. He's not good. Not good. Hold on, I'm gonna look up his holiday. Cursons, according to Billy, a first ballad hall of fame, or I agree with him.

Shhh. Jordan Love's not good though. More like Jordan Shove. Yeah. Say what? What is that? No. What? I don with him. Jordan love's not good though. More like Jordan Shove. Yeah. Say what? What is that? No. What? Jordan love hasn't played enough games to have Hall of Fame percentages that we discovered yesterday.

I'm pro football reference. I forgot to tell you. Yeah. And this is a spoiler alert for God bless football. But yesterday we did, we had Austin Eckler and we did our recording with Austin Eckler. And Stugots told Austin Eckler that he's for sure a hall of Famer. I did.

And he's like, it's a sure thing your hall of Famer. So while he was doing that, I decided because we had just learned the tool to go and look into Austin. They have him for running back soon. They do have him for running backs too. And I was like, I'm going to look this up and see like what it is. And then I'm going to tell Stu Gotts like, look, you can use this to back up. And the number was 20 oh

Thanks for not using it. I didn't use it the rare time. You didn't try to believe me It was it was good judgment by me But an argument can be made that better judgment by me would have been not bringing it up now or ever Right, yeah, I just felt like you know We should you know talk about it. You should point it out since you didn't get me on the spot Yeah, I mean you bring it up now. No, I was just letting you know talk about it. You should point it out since you didn't get me on the spot Yeah, I mean you bring it up now. No, I was just letting you know. Thanks. I could have texted you like suppose Yeah, yeah, anyway This is how we communicate though. That's fun. Why not let people in you know, they love it

Billy I am taking the first ballot Hall of Famer Kirk cousins over the quarterback. That's not good. Jordan love I am taking the Vikings. They will get their record to four and four Vikings minus one over the Packers. I'll start. I'll start. I'll take the Vikings. It's the spread!
