It's time for Thursday Thunder and it's brought to you by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear all about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show.

DraftKings, the crown is yours. Tony, what do you got? All right, guys. NFL, we've got a big game tonight that feels like it should be a Sunday night game, not a Thursday night game, but that's neither here nor there. I think it's here and there. You've declared it a double statement game. It is. It is. It's an absolute double statement game, Dan, because the Bengals, don't look now, are one

of the hottest teams in the league. Joe Burrows playing at an MVP level. If you put his stats against blind stats against any other quarterback in the league right now, you're like, oh, wow, that guy is far and away the MVP. I think he's like 15 touchdowns, three picks or something like that on the season he's playing awesome the Ravens if they can beat the Bengals in this double statement game it's a statement win for them beating one of the hottest teams in the NFL if the Bengals beat the the Ravens tonight that means you know what Bengals are back so it is a double statement game so we've got cooked up a little longer of a parlay

this week usually we do a of a parlay this week Usually we do a three leg parlay this week. We're doing a four leg parlay for Thursday Thunder Really? Yeah, this is aggressive, but it's they're correlated. Okay, so we we look at we're no good at the three teamers Let's try more. Yeah, correct. Now you get it. We get the what's the definition of insanity dan? Doing the same thing over and over again expecting exactly a different result. So we're going to do something different to mix it up. Get us back. Get the mojo going. Bangles defense. Not good. We already know that Ravens defense. Sneaky.

Not that good. Right. James Winston carved them up a couple of games ago. This is a offensive game right now. We're going Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow, both of the quarterbacks over 250 on all the overs you're taking on the air over 250. Yep. Over 250 through the air between Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow. And then their number one receivers, Jamar Chase, who's been playing awesome this year, Zay Flowers been very good this year, both of them over 80 yards receiving. So we got quarterbacks over 250, number one wide receivers over 80.

That gives you a beautiful plus 700 on Draft King Sportsbook for tonight's game. Okay, four team parlay. Four leg parlay. Fireworks on a Thursday. Yeah. We have a slight correction. The definition of insanity is the state

of being seriously mentally ill madness. Yeah. Okay. Like me, the Joker. And also, that quote that you have never really happened. It's attributed to Einstein, but there's no evidence that he ever said it. Well, Dan, congrats, you said it. That means we're attributing it to you.

Come on, Dan. Thank you, Dan. I did, but it's evidently it's fake news. It is not something that's actual philosophy of any kind But since Tony got us started off with football allow us to do a couple of football related things with Tony We have not gotten to his football top five this week. Let's do that with the different music. Oh You forgot. Oh We can do the analog version the analog version. No, we'll try.

Wait a minute. That's not what it sounds like at all though. That is just, it sounds like. Hey! Yeah. I don't, okay. There it is. Vida loca.

Hey! That's a different segment. All right, Tony's Top Five, as usual, sponsored by the haters. Thank you, haters, for sponsoring all the things that we do and making all the things beautiful. We'll start in the OLI, Dan, because last week we didn't really do a Tony's Top Five. We got brushed by the haters. Thank you haters for sponsoring all the things that we do and making all the things beautiful We'll start in the Oli Dan because last week we didn't really do a Tony's top five. We got brushed under the rug I'm not here to be upset about it. No biggie. Okay, but now you're just gonna stuff both top five No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I would not do that

I've got a means kind of top five too that we can do that's another top five I'm very excited about because we spoke about that off air, but Oli number one Can you guys keep your offer conversations off air and stop telling us on air that you had off air conversations credit what credits do then I don't know why you guys need to keep crediting each other for this information that you're embargoing no talking oh I number one how the Ravens lost three games mmm it's a good question I saw team and it's like I look at the loss column three loss weird yeah interesting oh my number. Oh, it's all team. And it's like, I look at the loss column. Three losses. It's weird. Yeah.

Interesting. Ola number two. I know it's after a loss, but I still feel a heartbeat on this Miami Dolphins team. There's a bit of a heartbeat there, Dan. He's not, they're not dead yet. Jessica. How many hearts?

Dead yet. How many hearts do dolphins have? Heart of hearts. I think one. I think one. But this one's got a tt-t-t-t-t this one's got a look. That's like in the movies, Dan, when they're like the person's dead, there's nothing we can do. And we start walking away, but then the machine goes, like, wait, what was that? All right. So if they run off a nine game

winning streak, something I'm telling you, just shaking her face in their chest, but the heart in their ass is still very good. Still beating Dan. Oh, all right. We'll get to number five It's a tallow for that We walk into your trap and we take your trap. No cap Falcons rising up just the right time You sure about that? I am definitely sure about that even though Drake London's hurt, but that's not just cuz of Kirk Cousins That's it. They're from the celebration No, he landed know he landed on his hip and but then he got up did a celebration and then left the game Don't please someone's joy even if that interest them. What are we doing Kevin Durant number four? Saquon pushing the limits on human athleticism. I know we talked about it throughout the week. It's Thursday

I get that but can you imagine taking Saquon Barkley and switching him with like Jim Brown and then putting him in like 1960s era football and what those people would be like, this guy's not here. Where'd this guy come from? I feel like Jim Brown was Saquon Barkley during that time and it's why nobody can do anything with him and then take Saquon Barkley and put them back there. He'd just be back hopping over everybody the entire time. Yes. Yes. A guy who's got a construction job that he leaves on Saturday overtime

to get to Sunday's game. Trying to tackle J. Cole Barkley. Yes, that would be hard to do. Number three. Quietly. The Chargers are five and three and playing good ball. Yeah, nobody believes in the Chargers. Yeah, they're great. Defensively.

They're very good no one believed in Justin Herbert the Chargers are allowing 12 points a game nobody's noted sorry nobody believed in Harbaugh sorry sorry I'm sorry I don't know how to whisper three also you heard about it earlier quietly bangles four and five Joe burrow looking like the MVP well but you already said that loudly said Also, you heard about it earlier quietly bangles four and five Well, but you already said that loud said that so loud Can't that secret after Tony's got a great whisper, but that I could listen to that all day Thank you. That part was quiet. So kids do gots number two number two The Chiefs have won two Super Bowls between Daniel Jones's most recent two patch passing touchdowns at MetLife Stadiums

Jesus Christ, what happened? So we had a Daniel Jones touchdown then we had two Chiefs Super Bowls then we had another Daniel Jones touchdown passing That's wacky That's a long time We bait him and let's say Quan Wok Right, correct What if you take Daniel Jones back to the 1960s? Best player on the planet.

Do I need to make Tony listen to all the shows to make sure that his top five don't have repeat material from other shows? Not fair. It's Thursday. I know. But if you come with schedule is not my fault. And I come out with the Sunday night as I'm doing Sunday night live. By the way, watch that after your NFL games on Sunday. I do them Sunday night and then I get scheduled. Yeah, on Thursday. OK, what do you want me to do? You want Sunday. I do them Sunday night and then I get scheduled on Thursday.

What do you want me to do? You want me to not do it? He's absolutely right, by the way. What do you want me to do? They can be updated though and you can listen to the shows. You guys gonna do double the work cause he doesn't know what the schedule is?

I want him to edit his copy. So who said that? So that he's paying as much attention to the show as the listener who cares to hear his opinion on things. Number one, nobody's gonna have this one, you ready? I don't think any Cuban after 1959 has said this aloud. But I'm about to say it. Oh boy.

Dan? I'm a really big fan of what the commies are doing. Really big fan. Yeah, everybody seems to be watching. Did somebody else have that take? Commies in Washington, I did not have as something that would work in 2024, but I think a lot of people are big fans of that. Thank you, Chris. Head on a swivel. I don't think you have music for a Means Top 5, but if you did, it's Top 5 white athletes with black names. I don't know why it is he wants to do this. He's been telling me on the show that he wants to do it.

I don't know where it started. I think, was there something that came up on a television screen in here that distracted you during the first hour of the show? Yeah, so the quarterback for Georgia Tech is named Haynes King, but he's white. And so, yeah. So it got my mind going, like,

oh, what are the other athletes who have names that if you've never seen them, you say, oh, that's a black athlete, but then you see them, like, oh my god, this guy's white. So are we waiting for a bed music, or? I think this is, Bill Simmons invented this game, it's the Reggie Cleveland All-Stars, correct? Is that not the original playing of this game, which is Khalil Green was a shortstop for the Padres as well?

Do I have this wrong, the Reggie Cleveland All-Stars? No, you gotta write that, you gotta write, we're trying to do something here. Sorry. We don't listen to Bill Simmons. All right. Yeah, I don't. So I wouldn't know, but I'll take your word for it. Well, I just want to give proper credit if we're stealing an idea. Oh, now we're giving credit. Now we're giving credit. Okay. Yeah. What? Well, if nobody knows and you don't have to give credit. That's correct. Thank you. Izzy, thank you. If it's just something that Tony said in your ear, you don't have to give him credit That's correct, thank you, Izzy, thank you. If it's just something that Tony said in your ear, you don't have to give him credit for that

as something given only to your ear. I think Izzy was saying if nobody knows of the original game, then he doesn't have to give it credit. What were you saying, Izzy? I'm right about everything, let's just keep going. Just don't use a tear maker, because if you do, the world is gonna end.

Go ahead. Well no, but Jessica's got a Lord of the Rings tear maker. Stolen, stolen. She's gotten a lot of applause for that. I don't know what you're talking about. That was my idea that I came up with on my own. By the way, the reaction, thank you for bringing it up, Dan. The feedback from the Lord of the Rings, Rings of Power tears was, I just want to give a

heartfelt thank you to everyone who listened, commented. It was overwhelmingly positive. The internet could be a positive place on very rare occasions. It warmed my soul lot of people really hate that show and I understand why I didn't love it all either But they did like Jess's tears So maybe we'll have a new Jess's tears next week because people really like that I came up with that idea and I might do it again We can give you tears every day. I'll give you liberal tears on a Tuesday or in a Wednesday We'll give you Jessica's tears.

And now we've got the Reggie Cleveland All-Stars as brought to you by Amin Ohasson. I don't want to call it that, because then it seems like I did it. It's the Haynes King All-Stars. Yeah, Haynes King. Is he playing on Saturday? Wait to see.

Okay. A lot of people are going to be surprised when the quarterback of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket, Haynes King, ends up being white. Yep. I also feel like it's safer for a main to do this list than Bill Simmons. It was a different time back then.

Well, white guys could say what I guess about that time is back. All right, hit the music. Thank you very much. All right. We're gonna start with some OLIs, Dan, as we usually do, right? OLI, Quincy Armstrong.

All the Famer in the NFL also Tai Long And then another Oli for you Ron Baker Wichita State Is good because I tell you hey, he's the leading sc which is a tough state. What do you think he looks like? His name is Ron Baker. It's not that mop of blonde hair. Yep. All right, here we go.

Number five, Curtis Painter. I love Curtis Painter. Remember him, backup quarterback? Not only do I remember him, that Coles team I think was close to winless and when he took the field for the first time, I thought he was black. That's a thing that actually happened.

I did not know. All the way up until him running out onto the field. Yes, until he dropped back to pass and I saw him throw the ball, I did not know that he was white. It was the Curtis or the Painter there? It's both. It's both.

Curtis for sure. Painter gives off white to me. Painter, no way. Curtis Painter? That's a black guy. That's a black guy. Who leads the Macken scoring in basketball? Put it on the poll by the way. Curtis Baker. In like 1998. 6'5 power forward. Painter, not Baker. That's Ron Baker. Curtis Painter. Yes. Curtis Painter. Number four. painter number four leave on Kendall played for pit basketball is Canadian I might have gone Hispanic there leave on the wrong Kendall Kendall said Spanglish the way you hear from Miami that's why they come Kendall hold on leave on spelled L E V O N yeah well that that's black yeah that's a black

name folks yeah but you didn't pronounce it that way you're on number three Khalil green Won't spend too much time on him because apparently somebody else did this I didn't mean to ruin it for you It's a good one number two and I remember the day. I found this out. It was on this show Freddie Freeman I the show, Freddie Freeman. I see how you would think that that guy was black. That's a black name, Freddie Freeman.

And great at a party too. I'm not just gonna say that he's black, I'm saying that's the guy, that's the life of the party that he walks into just cause his name is Freddie Freeman. Freddie Freeman hosts the party and he's on the grill. You walk in the house, you're in the backyard, he's got the, Freddie! Kiss the chef, he's got the spatula in one hand,

he's got a beer in the other, and he tells everybody, hey, get a grab of Coca-Cola once in the fridge. Lot of teeth. Yeah, Freddie. Everybody loves Freddie's parties. And then, number one, it's the reason why we're doing this list, Haynes King.

Well, that's not the way you play the game. You don't name, you don't name. Well number one was Khalil Green originally, but then you fucked that up, so then I had to rearrange.
