You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. I've been bummed by what HBO Max or now Max has become where discoveries just dumping all of its crap into what used to be this pristine bin of quality content. But I just told a mean something and a mean seemed crestfallen when I told him HBO real sports is done after 29 years. A television show that was the very, very top or as Jeremy might say, the very, very, very top of the sports content ladder, older than Lucy, older than Jessica, an unbelievable run and given the state of content right now, the collapsing and shaking industry, I can't say for sure whether that

was Bryant Gumbel's decision or not or whether the show has just gotten too old After too much time and is a cost-cutting thing I don't know the answer as to whether or not He's out because he wanted to be out But it's some of the best work in a long and distinguished career of great television work that Bryant Gumball has done It actually might be the flash as fault. It is possible.

It's a crater that just sucked in every, every single good thing that they had going on over there. And just like that. That stinks. That's coming back for a third season. It's so bad. It's so bad. I hate watching.

I hate watching. I watch it with my wife and we spit it. And we're like, what are you doing? Why are any of you doing this? You're all ruined it. What is Miranda? Like so mean. That's what that is. Oh, yeah. What are you doing? Same to America's right? Definitely too. Samantha. It needs Samantha. It's all about Samantha. I was like, yeah, no, you made it bad. You sleep in it. Is the one that ran for Mayor of New York, a shion of show? Yeah. And they've ruined her character. Well, I mean, of course, Steve, I mean, Steve's just going deaf and blind and losing his wife is just like a horrible, horrible, obstacle course. Seven new characters, all of whom

I hated chief among them, Shay. And let's not like the vibes of some of these characters I There's not a lot of depth to it. I'm all for introducing new characters But don't do that for the sake of okay, we can't have a show just for white women in New York But that's what they did that's what they really what they did is they filled in the rest of the show about Corraculation that I'm making, but it does feel that way right? No, that's what it was come on. Yeah, that's what made it good like it. I wasn't watching it to know why people I wasn't watching it to be like

Well, sex in the city is so woke like we're just watching like trash It's like they're all awful people very few were very few redeeming qualities amongst any of them I even carry she's a disaster. There is the worst Carries are all the worst terrible person might take dog feed hates or I hate or carry socks I thought we were gonna talk about real sports so not and just like that we switch subjects the Thursday thunder that Thursday Thunder. Wow! Now we give you a winner and you get excited. A big winner!

A big winner! Juicy winner, that's what I'm talking about. Something's like plus 600. We can go on a five week losing streak and get it all right back. And that's what we did last week with our Haters Lash Homer parlay. We faded the gators, we went for UCF, and we went for Miami of Florida, which covered a game for like the first time since I've been an adult.

Ariel Helwani was on real sports? As a correspondent? It was a correspondent. No wonder it got canceled. Whoa! Come on now. Whoa! I believe he's pivoted to Showtime.

Is he part of Show Sports and then Show Basketball? What did you just do to Ariel Hawani? What are my favorites in the history of journalism? What are you doing? Just continuing a long standing beef about something I tweeted about him a long time ago that I don't remember. Just like that, a means of asshole.

First leg of the parlay. We can avoid the kickoff today. We're action junkies. We're not sure if Travis Kelsey is playing, but we are sure that maybe Jared Goff and Dan Campbell winning opening night prime time at Kansas City might be. Just might be. A bridge too far against the Raining Super Bowl champion.

So we're waiting into the waters because we're junkies. And we want Kansas City money line as our first leg because we need the action boss. You just said you were sure and then offered three maybes about what you were sure about. That's a type of conviction that we're talking about here. By the way, Thursday Thunder is brought to you by draft king sports book.

Use code dan when you sign up on the app or limited time offer for new customers. And I'm sure business is going to be booming this week because oh oh football is fuck so what actually works the spread in that game I know you took the money line but what is this for? think it was 4.5 last time I checked

well probably it'll probably move a little a lot of people are high on the lions they love that offence and I am wrong about them airing and getting Jared golf because Jared golf seems to be okay with those skill position guys. Speaking of Goff, Coco Goff! Yeah! Second leg, how about a Thursday Thunder?

That's right. And just like that. We like the tennis too. So that's a second leg. And in honor of Lucy, our newest team member over here in the shipping container, what would this Thursday thunder be without celebrating El Asi Co?

We are taking the under between Iowa and Iowa state. As God intended. Let's transition now to polls. The sponsored poll segment. Oh, the sponsored poll segment is brought to by dollar shave club Dan epic razors epically affordable find them in stores are online first question we wanted to know should stealers fans have the same amount of confidence as dolphins fans fifty seven percent of the audience said no do people love dead people eighty

four percent of the audience said yes. He's the margaritaville legacy stronger than Elvis' legacy. Some on, man. Mike, you would have been really pissed. I'm so thankful that you're giving me the opportunity to talk about Jimmy Buffett. One of the general, like, well-respected good guys who loved his fans and really carved out escapism and music as like a genre to itself. Fans were a little weird and quirky, but he was too.

There's a Margaritaville across the street. I'm going to visit it. I got into Jimmy Buffett the older I got to. I finally got it. I thought it was corny too. It's normally what happens. And I got it. I think, you know, there's something to be said from music that just takes you away and

makes you happy. It doesn't have to be corny and still can pale in the shadow of Elvis. Isn't it funny that every time I hear Jimmy Buffett, all I think about is him getting ejected from a heat playoff? He's a heat lifer. He is a heat lifer and like most heat fans, he was also maybe kind of a nix fan too. At one point, no, he got ejected on a heat next though. So he was. Yeah, but there was all sorts of confusion as to who too. At one point, he got a jacked in a heat next though. So he was. Yeah, but there was all sorts of confusion as to who said he was really on, but he sent

a nice tribute for him. And it's part of like name association when someone says it is of it. I do say heat next strangely enough. And 68% of the audience believes that Margarita feels like a see stronger than Elvis's like a. That's absurd. It's incredible as it is. Shut up, Elvis.

Is Graceland one of the saddest places on earth? 85% of the audience says yes. Do flats and drumsticks get eaten at equal amounts? This is a Greg Cody poll question, right? This was a Greg Cody poll question. He isn't obsessed with this about the concepts of like flats. He got, he's in a beef with a restaurant somewhere, I think, in the keys because they wouldn't bring him the number of flats that he wanted.

You wanted all flats. Yep. He ordered wings and he said, bring them all flats. Well, 70% of the audience says no. They do not get eaten the same amount of times. Should a 50 plus year old use the phrase peepy when talking to other adults? I'm just going to guess this was David Sam. David Samus. He's talking about Randy Levin. He's a peculiar dude. And we thought

he just went to go pee pee. Yeah, and I'm sure he was probably scanning for a brief moment for something that wouldn't be that weird. They mean landed on Pepe, which ended up being weirder. Did I get that right? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. He was actually seemed very comfortable saying, go, Pepe, and I asked him, that's not something that an adult of your age should be saying who's not talking to four and five year old.

It's a piece of money. What would you say if you wanted to describe that situation? We thought he went to go, Pepe, you'd say, I'll'll say you go take a leak. Take a leak is the head of my hit the john. We thought he was going to go take a leak. Not go peepee. I think he has to go peepeepee. Uh, 79% of the audience said, no, you should not use peepee when talking to other adults. I got the reference. When tipping, do you throw in a few extra cents so that it can end in zero? 65% of the audience says yes. What?

Big fat wife face, big fat wife face. Pound for pound is Larry Allen the strongest human being ever. 72% of the audience says yes. You know what's funny? This is what's funny about what Amin just did this. There. Amin said that poll question should make it and it shouldn't have made it because it was part of an interview that we did with Vernon Davis that was not fit for air.

Right. But I just got a text from Billy saying, do God's put it in stupositive? Of course he did. Of course he did. Of course he did.
