The spread. Against the spread. Against the spread. Against the spread. Against the spread, it's presented by DraftKings.

DraftKings, the crown is yours. Billy, go ahead. Against the spread. Against the spread. All right, this week on Against the Spread, today in fact, Jack Flaherty versus Paul Skeens. Tigers versus Pirates. The Pirates are favored by one and a half runs.

Minus one and a half, the Pirates. Paul Skeens, the talk of MLB, the hot shot, the golden boy with the golden arm. People love everything Paul Skeens. Chris, in fact, told us just last week that he wanted to see Paul Skeens have sex. That he did. Just himself.

Against his friend. He was for the spread. For the spread. For the spread. Well, I'm gonna take the Tigers plus one and a half versus the Pirates and Paul Skeens. Paul Skeens is great, doesn't get any run support. So the idea of Paul Skeens winning by two runs

even against the Tigers and Jack Flaherty who's not as good as Paul Skeens. It seems like a lot. Where's screwball? Screwball's good. Tigers plus one and a half. Against the Spurs. I don't think that the way that you say it

is that the Pirates are favored by a run and a half. I think the way that you say it is that you bet them minus one and a half. I think the Pirates are probably in that game like minus 120 or something. What are they? Are they minus 130? We're gambling experts, right?

They are minus 132 on the money line. Okay. Juju, welcome sir. We have a number of things to talk to you about. You were at the WNBA All-Star game. How was that? Did you have fun? Yes sir, it was fantastic.

It was Indianapolis, but you would have thought this was Las Vegas, Nevada, Miami, Florida. Every single place was popping. The stud buds are the new Miami heaters. I picture myself as a pretty much a party starter. I walk in, and it turns up. Not this weekend. Courtney Williams and the Tisha Heideman,

every place they walked in, it went through the roof, as well as when they went to Diplo's set. And I agree, Diplo had a lot of going on. I got four words for Diplo. Big Pluto, whim, whammy. It'll shut it down every single time.

Back to you, Dan. What were the highlights of the weekend? The highlights is just how the cities Wim, Whammy. It'll shut it down every single time. Bad to you, Dad. What were the highlights of the weekend? The highlights is just how the cities just gave the women an ultimate rollout from when you go to the airport, walk in the airport, plastered on every single inch of the airport. WMA All-Star. The same way it was like for the men last year in Indianapolis. Every street you go down, the signage. They got every street named after East team

building the big the biggest billboard I ever seen in my life. Caitlin Clark, Let her Cook. Every everybody was about in the entire city. And it just felt like if you're in the city, you know what you're here for this weekend. I have a great remorse at seeing Jamel's husband and calling him an exterminator. Is there anything from the Jamel Hill segment

that you wanted to chime in on? Right, what was that? I think a fine should be attached to a brother's walk by you just assuming he's a damn exterminator. I didn't even know that, I didn't even see that he was a brother. I saw the scuba tank, not the brother. Scuba tank.

Yeah, but I did ask her, is she dying on the heel of speakerphone public talking? And I agree with that as well, but I'm also willing to die on the heel. If you're an Uber driver and I get in your car, cut the call, cancel the call, get off your speakerphone with your wife. I'm sorry.

It is a deal breaker. What about you, Tony? I had a guy pick us up for the flight to Vegas. I was early and he picks us up, picks me up at like seven in the morning. And he's been on a conversation already and it's a Haitian guy. So he's speaking Creole. So I don't know what he's saying. I just know that he's talking to somebody because he's got his AirPods on.

And for the entire ride, 45 minutes, he's not talking, but like, hmm, hmm, hmm. And then he would say like, yeah, no, for sure. But obviously in Creole, he would say something short. But it was like 45 minutes of whoever that other person was talking on the phone and him just listening. And I'm like, who has that long of a conversation at seven o'clock in the morning?

Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Does your Uber driver have to get the hell off the phone at Lebatard show? We had a lot of polls today. How about fan commentary, Juju? Is there any fan commentary today that we need to hear? Any withering criticisms? Yes. Vinay Suri from the boy YouTube says Portnoy is there

for the same reason that Sampson gets two hours a day here. He negotiated it. I don't have too much of a problem. I think you said that the Fox has been a dumpster over the past couple of years. I don't think it's been a dumpster. I just think the fans and the people who are watching has changed on them folks. No, no, I mean behind the scenes. I mean how it's run and everything going on

behind the scenes there and how poorly programmed it is and how poorly led it is. But regardless, what did you think of the MRI accident we were talking about? Did you know that that was something that could actually happen to a human being? That they could die by getting stuck to the MRI by their gold chain?

Right, I didn't know, but when Greg mentioned that it was the brother's fault, I did a little deep dive, and apparently he was there for his wife, and when he was there trying to help his wife up, his chain got sucked into the machine. Oh my God. And then that's how the accident happened.

She had to watch that. She had to watch her. Right, and they say she was screaming, turn the machine off, while it was in vain. It was more turn the machine off. Oh, why did it was in vain? It was more horrible than we imagined I owe that man an apology posthumously

Also social media. Yeah, I just did that was it. Yeah, when you say I owe somebody an apology It's never gonna be you posthumously because you said you were gonna live till 250 years. That's the goal. Too high? No, over here. Also, yeah, too high as well. That's a good segue. Social media, to add onto the WNBA conversation

they had earlier with Jamail, the people need to understand that next year starts off the $2.2 billion media rights deal. And at that 9%, it's a little crazy, as well as each of the three newest teams in the WNBA are paying a $250 million fee to enter the league as well. So that 9%, although it's like you say, man, they've been taking losses for years now,

so did the NBA and 9% is ridiculous. So just more information on that for you guys. It is less than 10%. It's inarguable. Your math is extraordinary. On the fly. We'll get to the polls in just a second. But I didn't get to talk to you, Juju.

Did you have any thoughts on Shane Gillis, what he did at the ESPYs, and where he went to the joke that nobody's watching the WNBA? Okay, I thought it, look, to me personally, I had to disagree with you. It's like when I take a day off the show, my mentions go crazy for something you say. I thought it was hilarious, bro, like the entire set was hilarious to me.

He straight told the line a couple of times with the hey girl and then with the WMEA. I listened to him in a, right. Matt and Shane's secret podcast. So I knew who Britney was as soon as they put the camera on her. So I was like, Oh no, but the crowd, that's just, he's making the joke at the crowd. I knew y'all didn't know who WNBA players was. That part was clever. Yeah, that part was clever. Yeah, I think. But overall, I think comedians, we got to judge them with a grain of salt. Like I say, I'm a comedian.

So everything I say is don't take it serious ever. And I think we got to take the same approach with Shane. Instead of Joker of the Week, could you summon somewhere from the weekend a player of the week? A man big player, the playaristic futuristic player of the week, man. I got to give my boy some love Pablo Torre, man. He done turned the whole world on his head and he finding out some most stuff this week for your boys and next week for your girls and this week for y'all boys and next week for y'all girls and next week for y'all boys. I'm talking about everybody.

North Carolina done told him to sit down. Now the NFL, boy, he making so many moves with that great metal art podcast. I gotta salute my brother as the player of the week. What are you smiling about, Greg? I mean, Scottie Scheffler would like a word, but you know, I'm all for Pablo. Don't get me wrong, I mean. That didn't sound like you're all for Pablo. No, I know. You sound like you're all for Scottie Scheffler would like a word but you know, I'm all for Pablo. Don't get me wrong. I mean that didn't sound like you're all for Pablo

You know, I sound like you're all for Scottie Scheffler. Well, I was just thinking, you know You asked me who the player of the week is. I don't go to Sports media. It's the player of the week. It's the play. Yeah At Levitard show let's update some You did put an R in it, didn't you? You didn't put a hard R. Hard R. I did do that. I don't like this. At Levitard Show, let's update some polls. At Levitard Show. Do you remember MapQuest? 97% of the audience says yes, they do.

I think we set a record for polls today. We kept you busy today, Juju. Yes, sir. Can you tell what time it is based on the positioning of the sun? 57% of the audience are liars and says, yes, they can. Yeah, right. Is Jalen Hurts going to be a Hall of Famer? Close one. 53% of the audience says, yes, he is. Wow. Get another Super Bowl. I mean. All right, Right flag was fly is Bob a good name for a shark 53% of the audience says no it is not

Is 77% off basically free 72% of the audience says yes, it. Go buy part of the line by the way. Did we get any good nominees for band names better than Coldplay on what it is you'd want symbolically for the band's name to be if you're going to have a cheating scandal go viral in your arena? Not a one, just cheap trick, one and done. Nice. Are you respecting the police if you're calling them

the bravest, the strongest or whatever they are? 66% of the audience says, no, you are not. Nellie Gill, disrespectful to the police. I'm not sure. By the way, Greg, congratulations. Your book is also not only an editor's pick, it's number one best seller in biology of cats, lions, and tigers.

Hey, all right. Hey. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Good job. Woo. Yeah, playa.

Are you stunned that the Dolphins have not won a playoff game in the last third of Greg Cody's lifetime? 57% of the audience says no they are not. Damn. Should there be a national chicken fingers day? 92% of the audience says yes there should be. Just so you guys know, if you go to Raising Cane, July 27th on national chicken fingers day and you- There's an S at the July 27th, on National Chicken Fingers Day, and you buy-

There's an S at the end of it, Raising Cane's. Raising Cane's, sorry about that. And it's national, I put the S in the wrong place because it's National Chicken Finger Day. Raising Cane's a show, Dan. They're in a movie as well. I put the S at the end of fingers, but they give you a single chicken finger

if you buy something, and I just don't see someone going specifically to buy a bucket chicken finger if you buy something and I just don't see someone going specifically to buy a bucket to get a free chicken finger. I don't hear people calling it chicken fingers anymore. The lexicon demands that it's Tendies. I have a quick update here which is totally essential on the Coldplay controversy. There is a band called The Affair. That's a good one.

Thank you, Greg. I'm not making it up. I appreciate you looking that up. It has been worth it. I'm sorry your arms are bleeding. At LeBretard Show on the pole. Juju, keep going, because you're not even halfway through, are you?

Now I'm almost finished. I'm gonna wrap it up for time's sake. Also too, best revelation nominee today, Greg Cody's bleeding arm. Wow. That was comedic brilliance. Have you ever used the phrase, wonderful secret? No, that's not, no.

Have you ever said the phrase, like I understand. Like, have you ever, has anyone ever, no, has anyone ever said the phrase, may every day be another wonderful secret? You're adding to it. 88% of the audience still said, no, they have not. And the last poll, are MRIs ever comfortable? 90% of the audience says, are MRIs ever comfortable?

90% of the audience says no, they are not. And those are your polls. Thank you, Jude, you appreciate it. Yes, sir, free Wyndham Clark. Playa, playa.
