Salute to everybody who got money with us last week on Thursday Thunder. Hit it. We broke the drought drought you feel me? Let it rain on America and everywhere that draft kings are available.

You dig me? This week many men wished death for pun he. Blood in his eyes dog and he couldn't see. He just trying to be who he destined to be and brothers try to take his life away. I'm going with the Wolverine, aka Brian Robinson Jr. over 9.5 carries for the first leg. Juju got beat, Juju got beat one time by half a carry, half a carry. He had a three leg parlay, got the first two legs, got 18 carries of an 18 and a half over parlay, a heartbreaker. Those vocals are beautiful.

Yes sir. Thank you so much Jeremy. We gotta collaborate on one of these songs one day. I've been hearing you. You don't have to ask twice dude, that's happening. Yes sir. Next leg, my brother who's shocking the world, the rookie of the year, guarantee, Jaden Daniels.

I'd say he will get over 10.5 carries against your ESG LSE egos this week. Thank you. Please, Chris Cody, get that again because we cannot play the sound enough. Do you know what he's referencing there, Greg? Yeah, yeah, somebody a politician or somebody Philadelphia mayor did this let me hear you all say E-L-D-S-E-S Ego's let's go bird it's not that tough a word to spell what's going on the pressure gets to you you just said it yesterday like when you're trying to do these chants like I can relate to this a little bit

Yeah, you know a little weight jump situation and the last leg I'm gonna travel I'm gonna see you know what this week. I'm gonna go commando all the way this week You dig me Taylor. I see you. I'm going to die. I'm a brown over 44.5 yards receiving this week against the ESGL ES Eagles. I say, get it done. Wow. Okay, let's all ride those bets, I'll tell you that. All of them sound great to me.

I'm on it. This is what it sounds like, Greg Cody steering the ship. That was Greg Cody trying to transition and not knowing what to do at the Cody steering the ship. That was Greg Cody trying to transition and not knowing what to do at the end of the month. Those are bets right there. Yeah. It is an awkward transition. Greg, why didn't you just speak like a normal human being? I don't know. I'm a professional broadcaster. You're just tired at the end of the show? I'm a professional broadcaster. It's been two long days we've been writing. What did you want to ask Juju?

Okay, I need a referendum on today's show, what people loved and didn't love, because when I hear the UFO guy introduced as the most popular guest in the history of the show, I'm going to have to doubt that a little bit. It's numerical. It's just numerical. Okay. When he appears, it triggers something that people go crazy and the algorithm feeds all of the people who are interested in UFOs and so it becomes something that can be quantified.

Yeah, most people are crackpots. What did you learn, Juju, from this guy's appearance? People do love my brother. At the first time he came on, people called this people call him that but guess what speaks louder than words Actual factuals and my brother just been reporting and reporting all these years and a lot of the stuff He's been reporting has been ringing true So people have showed that brother a lot of support online Greg Cody thought that was a bad guest You know you tuned him out because you don't want to hear UFO talk.

He wants to be considered the best guest in show history. He got offended when you called that guy that. I'm an agnostic when it comes to UFOs. I don't have the avid interest that believers do, but my question for that guy, and I should have asked it, I think... It's good that we're getting to it now. Yeah, but Juju, maybe you have an opinion. Why is the informed assumption seem to be that UFOs pose a threat or an adversarial relationship? That's an interesting question to ask Juju out of nowhere. As far as I'm concerned, they're our friends that we haven't met yet. Why is that? Why are we not more positive about the fact

that the aliens aren't coming here to attack us or ransack us? Maybe they just want to spend time with us listening to sports shows. I think it's like the movies. We do them a bad job in justice in these movies. Independence Day, Man in Black. They always come down with horrible intentions.

Like you said, maybe they want to come down and see Patrick Mahomes play Josh Allen this week. You never know. You know what? If I see a UFO, if I see a guy with a big giant green head, I'm going to invite him out to lunch. We're going to have a relationship. My dad in an alien, like at Billy's Tavern,

he needs some wings. Why not? Over at Sweet Tomatoes at the buffet, stepping around the candy broccoli. Exactly. Also, I know what agnostic means, but I don't think my brother Jeremy knows what it means. He's going to start coughing here in a second. Do you have any other – there it is.

Do you have any other – Well, here's one. I have to know whether the Ford Tagliabue was the winning poll answer. I have to know that. Oh man. The actually, which of these cars would you be most likely to buy? I'm going to read them off. The Volkswagen Balitnikov, the Ford Tagliabue, the Chrysler Concepcion the chevy to rossi which were very easy for a

brother like me to spell um but 39 percent of the audience chose the chevy to rossi that was stugats is uh that was stugats's nominee uh do we have any other critiques here or polls or what else do we want to do because and i want to get to all of this, but Scott Van Pelt has responded, and so I do want to get back to Scott Van Pelt in a second. But finish us off here, Juju, if you don't mind. Yes sir, should we all be so lucky to live Betty White's life? 93% of the audience says yes we should,

and people know how I feel about Betty. Salute, rest in peace. Who are those 7%? Who are those 7%? Who are those 7%? Well, but how about Greg Cody saying that Betty White got around because she had three husbands and dated one other man. He dated a Cochran.

That's a compliment. He was there, we didn't see it. He saw it with his own eyes. There you go, me and Betty. Studio 54. All right, I betted Betty. All right. People love the polls.

Do you have any other? do you have any other polls? I really don't think you should say that. All right, edit that out. Okay. Has there ever been a good show with a colon in the title? Wording. 57% of the audience said no, it has not. Any critiques on today's show? We have had a bit of a hot streak over the last couple of months where everybody feels

Pretty good about what we're doing Yeah, it was I mean we had we had some critiques over the last week this week There's been some some rumblings people want people to pay their fines man So we got to get this fine system down pat now I think we should stop wasting time I don't know send the code out to everybody because I owe like $14 myself and I got it for you I'm ready to send it but I don't know where to send it I paid my $7 today Greg we are doing this for Venmo Juju if you have anything else I do have some Scott van Pelt questions for you guys before I call him again,

because he says that I was calling him at an old number, so it rang on his computer just now. So I'm going to reface time him now, but do we want to take any bets on how it is that he answers the phone? He seems, well he knows you're calling now, it's a totally different thing when you're expecting a call than when it's a random call,

so we're not gonna get like a SVP in the wild and like the way he would answer. I think he's gonna say, what's up Danny? That's a good one. I say he goes yellow with the hello, but with a why on the front of it. I think he's like a faux formal, like Mr. Lebatard, that type of thing.

I think he might just give you a yo, okay So I'm not I should I call him on facetime or should I call him? It's easier to put him on speaker if it's not facetime. Yeah, not face time No, you don't need to facetime just call him put it on speaker and make sure it's near the mic So the mic okay, so let's do this. All right. Let's see what we've got here. I Love the sound of a ring this call is presented by trap kings Hello, yeah, just a boring hello is all he gave us down. What's up, Danny? Hello Scott nice to nice to talk to you It's Dan Leventhal you're on the air. We have a pressing accusation that you you might want to respond to

Okay, I'm sorry to do this to you this way a pressing accusation that you uh... you might want to respond to okay i'm sorry to do this to you this way it's unpleasant but you've been accused publicly by a person in georgia and you and matthew barry of cutting the t s a line at the national championship game uh... it let me tell you something there there was no life

all the world all may have a chaos and survival of the fittest. It was kill or be killed. And did we did we break the line? I allegedly, I popped to all of this on the podcast that we did. We came in, yes we did. We came in a door and where we came in, there were thousands of people, Ohio State, Notre Dame fans, all of whom were incredibly pleasant by the way I enjoyed meeting all of them in the three hours we stood the TSA line waiting to get through.

Go to the clear TSA line they say. Sure, let that shit go, I don't know. No shit. I know where to go. There's nowhere to go. So I'm standing there and there's no one's helping no red jackets helping and we look and we look and we say, this isn't gonna work, and I'm like, wait, is this even a line? Let's go down there and see. And so we wander down towards a different door where if you came in that door, you just blended into the line because there wasn't a line. So that's what we did.

That's against the law that I am guilty as a dog. Okay, good talking to you. All right. All right.
