Against the spread. Against the spread is brought to you by Draft Kings. Draft Kings. The crown is yours. Greg Cody, what do we got? Okay. Playoff semifinals, NFL, AFC championship game, Broncos at home, getting five and a half points. I don't care that Bo Nix isn't playing.

Broncos and that defense at home getting five and a half, thank you for. very much. Taking it. It's not bad. Not bad. Really? Not bad. I don't like it.

All right, Mike, what do you got? So the Anaheim Ducks had a mid-season hiccup. They really dip. But lately, they're turning the corner. And we got a marquee game in the NHL between the Anaheim Ducks and the Colorado Avalanche. And the Colorado Avalanche have been an absolute wagon. So you can get Anaheim plus one and a half for a pretty decent price. I think they cover that spread.

Oh, it's all spring. We got Jujoo here with us. Juju, how you doing? Good to see you. What's Hiding, family? How y'all doing down there, man? Anything stand out to you today from our looks-like game with Tim Kurchin? Yeah, man, I was thrilled earlier this week whenever the announcer at the Phoenix Sun game,

I think versus Brooklyn Nets, said that every time he sees Grayson Allen, he can't help but think a Ted Cruz, and now I cannot unsee it. Pretty spot on. He looks just like him. No, they look exactly alike. It's kind of scary. Like, this isn't the first time, because I know what you're talking about there,

Juju, where they were having fun with it. It was as if it's the first time they've noticed. I feel like, like, we've seen this for years. It was my first time noticing. Oh, really? Right. It's like noticing for the first time that Rick Carlisle looked like Jim Carrey. You'd be like, holy, holy, where was I?

Yeah. Lucy Rodin looks like Margot Kidder. I had no idea who that was. The oldest reference. Literally no clue. He said that and I was like that could be anybody. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. I was told I sound like her too.

And sounds like her. Yeah, that's a good one. I see it. I see it. I see it. I saw a video of her shoot Superman with a gun and I said, cool. I'm okay with that comparison. Yeah. We're spiritually aligned. All right. I'm interested in this, Juju. So we brought up Robert De Niro. Well, we Dave brought up Robert DeMiro.

Rocky and Bullwinkle, right? Everyone remembers a great movie. But you have a top five weakest denaro movies? Yes, sir, man. The top five weakest Robert De Niro movies he ever touched the set of. That I can think of, guys. Oh, well, I, hands of stone. In that movie, Sugar Ray Leonard was played by Usher Raymond.

I don't even know that movie. I'm learning about this for the first time. I'm a big movie guy. Right. Also, L-O-L-I, The War with Grandpa. I was watching some kids, and we popped that on. I was like, come on, man. This is the brother from Heat, man.

What are we doing? Number five, grudge match. Robert De Niro versus Slice Stallone at 80 years old each. That was a really bad movie. Sounds horrible. It was. I mean, the Gambit is basically like, This is Raging Bull versus Rocky, but they're old now, but it was just bad.

Number four, last Vegas. Oh, I would never watch that. Come on. That's terrible. Self-explanatory. Number three, dirty grandpa. What were you thinking bit, brother? Number two, the intern. Oh, is that with Aunt Hathaway?

I kind of liked that movie, which is unsurprising, but still. And the number one movie, Dave Dembshick said it earlier, man, The Adventures of Rocky and Bull Winkle. Who does he voice in that? He's the bad guy. He's the main bad guy. He's Boris and Natasha's boss. The Big Heavy. Dr. Robotnik.

I've often said Robert De Niro is. is Mike Tomlin and Mike Tomlin is Robert De Niro. You must genuflect to them for their legendary careers. You just have to ignore the last 10, 15 years. That's fair. I was like, did you guys see last night, Tom Izzo sconed in one of his players, like I gave him a quick read. He was like, bro, you can't guard my mother.

Like my mother. Video team, do you got that video? Dude, that was great. Incredible quarter zip, too. All right, so he was not having a good defensive game, that player, that's what we're saying. Right, that boy was behind the bench. Well, yeah, man. Also, I wanted to get you guys' thoughts, man, some good college aficionados on it.

The NCAA is getting sued by a brother right now from coming to the G League, for trying to go back from the G League to college, you dig? And I wanted to know, like, to me, that seems a bit crazy, you know what I mean? a lot of schools doing that now where G-League players are going back to college. Mike, what you think about that? They ruled in his favor and do not count Mario Cristobal out to try to get

retired NFL players here. Right, where does it end? Because there's a lot of one and duns that went to Kentucky. Are you telling me that once Tyrese maxi say, hey, you know what, I've played all I can play. I'm 35 years old. Let me go back and get a championship for the wildcast. That would be great.

It's probably got like three years old. I cannot wait for Trent Williams who replaced C.C. Maunaoa. And also, too, earlier you was telling the Uncle Luke story, man. I got a relatable story about Uncle Luke, man. Uncle Luke did be on the phone playing, man. One day during the Iowa versus LSU game, where Caitlin Clark took on Angel Reese, during the game, the LSU was getting a lot of whistles, man.

So I made a meme where the referee had on the LSU color. stripes and he quote tweeted me screenshot Dan Levitart show is racist look at these racist posts I'm black brother and I did see him at the highlight game and I told him I said bro that was me posting that and like you said in person man bro so lovable

and so playing having a good time come on bit bruh Juju you got some polls for today yes sir I got some polls for you man Wait, Uncle Luke came out to Highline? He was that one of our? I don't even remember that. Yeah, that was wild. And it's always all love.

It's crazy. It's always hugs and laughing. Hey, man, you're going to support us, you know, stop doing that stuff you're doing on Twitter? Mike, you know I love you. Should we replace bowls with plates? This is big. 71% of the audience says no.

Yeah, well, I mean, pretty large. I mean, pretty large of vision. Never had soup out of a plate. Right. Have you ever eaten a rotissory chicken in the car? Come on, man. Also, too, man. See it with me every day. Support Football in America. You got to know wherever you get your podcast. Juju's a patriot. I don't mean the kind with the capital P either, the good kind. Yes, sir. 72% of the audience, however, have never eaten the rotissory chicken in the car.

I mean, how do you hold it, Dave, when you do that? Seriously. Imagine you have two hands, right? The whole run at one stairs. The other one gets the chicken. And then that freehand can also be used to dip in gravy or mashed potatoes or other ones. You have the chicken in the bag. It comes in and you're like picking the drum off it as you're eating. Wow.

That is white tea. Have you ever eaten ribs in the car? 76% of the audience says no, they haven't eaten those either. Wow. Dang. Shocking. Very shocking. Have you done everything in the car?

66% of the audience says, yes, they have. Amen. The questions could basically be, do you survive or do you live? Give me the latter. Right. Also, two side note, I saw on Twitter yesterday, brother. You had commented on this as how the Gilbert Arena show was talking about Jimmy Butler's injury. Brough, quick thoughts on that, bro.

I mean, like, they just, they just, say things. They say stupid things on that show. I don't get it. I don't know any other way to sum it up, Chudu. It's like, they just say the dumbest things sometimes. But let's not forget how pumped Jeremy was to see Jimmy Bucking. It's not true. I don't want the said anymore. Kaminga and Tashay. Just shaking hands. Wings or ribs. 93% of the audience says yes, because I messed up the pole. Yet it wasn't unanimous. Can you trust a person that has never had root beer, olives, nor ribs?

87% of the audience says, no, they can't. Are you dancing for the man if you think that Diet Coke is better than regular Coke? 66% of the audience says, yes, you are dancing for the man.
