Now's a good time to remember where Tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented Tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo.

I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the Tequila that started it all. Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo. The tequila that invented tequila.

Proximo. Cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly. Cuervo. All right it's time for Thursday Thunder and it's presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours. Juju, take it away. Welcome back, welcome back. Last week, another two for three. If two for threes, oh my goodness, I'm not going to get started. But this week, we're back.

I'm going tonight, the Oklahoma City Thunder Moneyline. Oh, come on. Those brothers are gonna get the W tonight. I know it. Come on, Choo Choo. It is cowardice. What are the odds on that? It is strength cowardice.

They're nine and a half point favorites. One of the biggest favorites in the history of the sport. Have you seen Halliburton know it? He got it going right now. You never know. Leg two. I'm going Chet Holmgren under 9.5 rebounds. He's a tall brother, but I don't think he's gonna get 10 rebounds tonight at all. Take the under. And for the last leg, I'm going to the W.

I'm going to the Valkyrie. I'm going to the Golden State Valkyrie, the newest team in the league. Veronica Burton, the PG. Tiffany Hayes is hurt right now, so they're gonna need a big night from her. I'm going her over 10.5 points tonight, and she will get it done against the Mercury.

You dig this? You'd be winning giant money if you were betting all of Juju's picks, just not his parlay's, because he takes a lot of time with these, and he often hits two out of three. A couple of things we didn't talk about today, Stugat. There was, in the Boston Red Sox game yesterday,

a game-winning home run that went 308 feet. What? That is a pop-up that is closer to a pop-up than it is to a home run, but it went out of the park. It went inside of the park, it went inside of the pesky pole, 308 feet. I'm not sure if that's closer to a pop-up, but I get your point.

Oh my God, yeah it is. It's pretty much closer to a pop-up. I mean a home run's a home run, a walk-off's a walk-off. A pop fly. It's like a pop-up stays in the infield. 308 feet is a like weak fly ball to the right fielder in every other ballpark in America. It's not very much.

It's not an infield pop-up, but it's- It was enough in that ballpark. Yeah, to get out. Put it on the poll, can you have a pop-up in the outfield? I'm pretty sure if it's in the outfield, it's a fly ball. You don't think that a pop-up can be a right fielder catching it right behind the second baseman? I'm gonna text Tim Kirkjie.

You're saying it's a pop-up if the outfielder, if the infielder catches it, it's's a pop-up if the outfielder, if the infielder catches it, it's not a pop-up if the outfielder catches it? If the outfielder has to run in. Guys, it's a fly ball to the center fielder, it's a pop-up to the second baseman. I'm with Dan though, if a second baseman goes out into shallow right, I could see that.

I think if you have to have communication between the infielder and the outfielder, that's a pop-up. Roy is giving us the matumbo finger. No, we're calling that a pop fly. Oh, right. That is the hybrid. Game changer.

He really did ruin the entire game, just took it out, ended the game. The other thing I wanted to point out to you guys, because we didn't talk about this at all, in fact, I think Chet Holmgren was the first mention of anything basketball related in the show today that wasn't me just mentioning name-dropping Stan Van Gundy the Pacers are the biggest long shot in the last 20 years the last long shot like this was the Pistons team that did knock off the Lakers in five games but a

ton of money is coming in on the Pacers. Tons of money. It's at least because they're big value, because they're such a big dog. It's a value play, yes. They're five to one underdogs, but the grand majority of the money is coming in on the Pacers because of how rare it is to have this kind of value from one of the team in the finals. So I think it's combined a value play for gamblers

and also not a lot of people believing in the Oklahoma City Thunder. I think there's some of that going on as well. Well, I just, I believe a ton of people do believe in OKC and a lot of money is coming in on OKC the way that Juju just did it, which is they're gonna win on the money line, et cetera, because they're such an overwhelming favorite,

but it's just people looking for value. Juju's doing a show after the games that's live on YouTube. It's his Alley Oop show. What do you wanna give us in the way of preview, not for that show necessarily, Juju, but just on the series? What are you looking forward to seeing? Man, I'm looking forward to the Pacers. Can they do it?

It's been a lot of hype around the Thunder. And they said yesterday on the show that bulletin boards are dead, the bulletin board material. If they were to make a resurrection, I think the Pacers would have a lot of bulletin board material. So I want to see what they do with that. And of course, we are going live tonight with my sister Trista Crick, my brother Josh Smith, Stephen and their nephew.

We're gonna be live right after the game. I got a sidebar as well. I see my brother Chris Cody talking. He gets compared to a lot of people. We got a lot of Chris Cody looks like. And this is a rising star in Atlanta right now, who Chris Cody actually looks like. When I see him, I see Chris Cody.

His name is Billyang Cushington. In your free time, Google Bellygang Cushington. And that's the most looks like Chris Cody I have ever seen. Huge rap star. Look out for him. Yeah, that's strong. That's a good name too.

I like that as a- Same body size too. Yeah. Yeah, same coolness too. Same beard, same lingo. There we go. Does he have the same timing on the thunder that you have because you and Mike were struggling with whenever it is that you were hitting the thunder there. You were trying to sell it but doing it again.

BAM! Juju, are you updating some polls for us today? Yes, sir. And before the polls, I want to say happy Pride Month to all the community out there, as well as a resting piece to Jonathan Joss slaying this week, big member of the community. He played, what's his name, John Redcorn on King of the Hill, as well as Ken Hotate on Parks and Recreations. Very untimely, very tragedy.

So sorry to throw that in your face, but you gotta give my brother some respect. It was both untimely, it was both very untimely and very tragic. It was both of those things. Thunder man! And appreciated. And I don't think you're sorry.

Yes. Look at me again things. And appreciated. And I don't think you're sorry. And also appreciated. Given his name, should Dalton Kincaid be better at football? 83% of the audience says yes, he should. We can agree on that, right? Dalton Kincaid, that person needs to be a Hall of Famer in football, just based on name. In fact, Stugats has said this before. He has said this of, is it Jackson Dart? Jackson Dart, yes, on a road field.

If I'm a scout, I would call any NFL team and say, I have your quarterback. I'm watching him right now, even if he wasn't good. I would be saying that of Dalton Kincaid as well, right? Even if he's playing tight end, I'm like, I've got your quarterback. Don't need to see him. Yes, his name is Dalton Kincaid. I don't need any more information.

He's just our next quarterback. Most meaningful Mariner, Ichiro Suzuki, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr., or Jay Buhner. We only have four options for pose, so my brother got left out. So Edgar Martinez got left out, that's unfortunate. Good job by you, you gotta go Jay Buhner there. Good call there. Right.

72% of the audience says Ken Griffey Jr. Do you miss pictures, pinch running, and jackets? I for one do. 87% of the audience says yes they do. We didn't even mention that they would also wear batting gloves. Like before the oven mitt thing that they do now for stealing bases, they'd be out there wearing a helmet, a jacket, and batting gloves. It was the best. Do you hate the Apple controller? 82% of the audience says yes they do. Dang, it's Luthor sponsors. Have you ever met a white Anton? 95% of the audience says no have not. 8% of our audience is just hanging out every weekend

with their best friend Rance. If your name is Rance do you have to wear prescription glasses? 90% of the audience says yes and And the last poll, our dudes gross. This has never happened before. Maybe it's very early. 100% of the audience. Oh wow. We did it. We did it.

We did it. Yay. Lightning me. Thunder me. Hit me Roy. Hit me with a thunder clap. Ah. Wow.
