Against the spread.
It's presented by Draft Kings.
The crown is yours.
Tony, go ahead.
I'm going to take Monday night football tonight.
LA Chargers plus two and a half point dogs at home against a banged-up Eagles team.
No Jalen Carter up the middle tonight.
That means a lot of possibilities for O'Marion Hampton,
in his season comeback right now.
I know Herbert got his hand hurt,
but I think they're going to be able to run the ball enough
with O'Mari and Hampton and Kamani Vidal.
So give me the L.A. Chargers plus two and a half at home.
I love that pick, Tony.
I'm all over that.
Now, depending on where you can get this,
you can get this game coming up
between three and a half and four.
Are good friends over our Draft King's sports books?
They are doubting.
They are doubting the Miami Hurricanes.
Yes, I added Anessa's sports books.
Miami Hurricanes right now, you can get them at plus four against Texas A&M.
I think Miami matches up well.
Give me the Miami Hurricanes against who's spread.
Against his spread.
Against his spread.
Hey, give me that spread.
Against a spread.
I won't that spring.
Good job, guys.
Let's bring Juju aboard.
Hello, Juju.
What's up, my brother, John?
How you doing?
I'm doing good.
Who the hell is John?
That's me.
I'm John, I guess.
I'm John.
Did you catch last night the Lakers,
Lakers,
by the way,
Lakers are 17 and 6.
Yeah.
Which, by all accounts,
is a great record.
Austin Reeves is averaging 30 points a game.
Yeah.
The Lakers are really good.
And LeBron last night
saw 10 straight points in the fourth quarter,
and he put the crown on.
Now, you've got to be careful,
you got to be careful because LeBron,
you remember last year,
like he told us in a moment of honesty,
he's not comfortable with praise, okay?
What?
You've got to be really, really careful when discussing LeBron.
He has never been comfortable with praise.
Oh, wow.
But, Juju, how about LeBron last night?
Well, yeah, let's see.
I don't want to.
He praised where it's not won it.
So I'll just say he scored a disgusting 10 points in a row.
Embarrassing, what do you have?
29, 7, and 6.
Luca went 31, 15, and 11.
Ugh, I hate this version of LeBron, but it is fantastic.
I'll tell you what, this is a good opportunity.
I have an MVP of the day.
Oh, damn.
MVP of the day.
If we're going to have a discussion about who the MVP in the NBA is right now,
you better talk about Luca Duncich.
The Lakers win last night in Philly, 112.108.
I like that reality.
It settled back in where the Sixers suck.
Luca Dunchich, 31 points last night.
Now, he didn't shoot well, but man, he gets the free throw line a ton.
And every night it's 15 rebounds.
It's 11 assists.
My God.
Luca Dunchich, you better discuss him when we're talking about the MVP.
Is he your most MVP of the day?
Well, I'm not the one who keeps.
track of that, all right?
No, he's tied for most with Tyrease Maxie.
Wow.
Nice.
The only three-time MVP's of the day.
Well, and what's going to hurt Maxie's case
and continue to hurt Maxie's case is the Sixers stink.
Like, you can't give MVP to a guy.
And Bede's been terrible.
I mean, you see Embed last night, four for 21?
Yikes.
It's tough, man.
But to me, I said at the beginning of the year,
if you're a Sixers fan,
all of a sudden you have a vision of this team
that does not involve M.B.
You look at Edgecom, you look at Max, you're like, okay, that's my future.
And that dude, whatever he gives us is fine.
Which is, obviously, it's disappointing, but it's freeing in a way, you know?
The way this works is, if you have the most MVP of the day, the way this works is if you have the most MVP of the day,
That makes you the favorite for MVP on this season, right?
So what's a metal stand looking like right now, Jeremy?
Yeah, so right now, the three-time MVP's of the day are Tyrese Maxi and, as we just mentioned, Luca Donkich.
Then you have...
You say Donkich.
Donchich, I apologize.
Wembeiyama, you have a couple of times here, so he's a two-time MVP of the day.
And then tied with one MVP of the day.
we have Aaron Gordon
We have Jaime Hockes Jr.
I remember that game.
Shea Gilgis Alexander,
Nikol to Yokic, and of course, Norman Powell.
So they all have one.
MVP of the day!
Yes, they all have one.
Okay, Yokic right now, according to Drafking Sportsbook,
Yokic is your leader for MVP at plus 150,
SGA plus 160,
Luca, third.
Where's Hakez?
70.
Go look at six men.
We also have,
technically we have another vote.
If we're just going off Zaz, there's only one.
But Juju, every single time we do this,
insists it will be Nikoliyokic.
So if we want to add a second tally there,
just to count all of Juju's insistence.
Leader in the clubhouse right now.
If we could put him second on the metal stand.
MVP of the death.
It's a great song.
Right, bro, can you imagine if we was out one night in the club and they dropped that on the speaker, bro, I would lose my damn mind.
That's what I'm talking about.
Juju, who else stood out to you over the weekend?
Man, it was a lot going on this weekend.
I just want to highlight yesterday's Bills game is what life is about.
think Mr. Magorium's
Wonderful Emporium
Think Percy Jackson
Lightning Thief
Like you get to watch that
And it happens in the snow
My goodness gracious
I thought we was gonna lose 10 times
I ain't gonna lie to you
But Josh Allen
Superman
But him having to be
Superman should not be what we rely on
Neither here nor there
I got top five
Jokers from the weekend
Okay all right
Yes, sir.
O-L-I, a kid from Utah Tech got dunked on
and then punched the boy who dunked on him.
Brother.
You have to.
Okay.
I mean, I've never been dunked on, but I think if I were dunked on,
I think I'd consider punching a guy.
I got dunked on by Maristotomayor,
and the only thing I can compare it to is like a sonic boom.
Like, I literally, he never touched me, but I fell back from just the impact.
Also, Dan earlier in New York, somebody get him in that scarf a damn room.
Goodness gracious, take the scarf off, bro.
You keep playing with it.
It's making me mad.
Number five.
Number five, Kevin Stefansky.
Oh, my God.
What was that about?
Brain on this, brother, man.
Man. Right. If it goes back to the delusional Shadur haters and fans. Like brother, it was only right to just try Shadur out there. If you don't like him, if you like him, let's see. Because like Zaz said earlier, bro, we're kind of bawling yesterday a little bit. You feel him? It ain't his fault. He played for the Browns. But at the same time, we would like to see that, Kev. So yeah, man, even dance on time. How he be talking about Shadour? He can't play. They got somebody who can't play quarterback.
brook can play man so i mean like shudder sanders he's got over 300 yards passing for the game and
with the game on the line you know who should have throw the ball the running back
number four joker of the weekend the indianapolis coats for making daniel jones walk to the locker
room that's he towed his achilles and walked all the way to you want to do the kobe he came back out
on the sideline with a boot
brother
you gotta say
these folks
from their self
man like come on
Dan
we need you next year
Danny Dynes
number three
Jokers of the weekend
the referees
that took back
that likely
touchdown
I don't think it was a touchdown
admitted unlikely
you don't think so
no I don't think so
he caught it
took two steps
and then
okay if it was in the field
of play
would that have been a fumble
no
I don't think it's a cat
And you know what, based on his reaction too, I don't think he thought it was a catch.
Oh, damn, okay.
So I needed, what, the third step would have done it for you?
Because he was taking the third step when it was getting jarred out.
The best way that I could describe as you, Tony, is I know it when I see it.
All right?
And that didn't look like a catch to me.
Number two, Jokers of the weekend, the Washington Commanders for Trot and Broke Arm, Jaden Daniels out there.
How?
I said in the weekend observations,
it's like, oh, lobotomy, questionable.
That guy's got a dislocated elbow.
How's he playing?
Gosh, they've played.
I've lost eight in a row.
I feel like all the goodwill that that franchise built up last.
It blew it.
It's gone.
Mm-hmm.
And the number one Joker of,
they're about to take over
because the name of the Joker of the Days
were the Mario Cristobal Joker of the Day
because of that blunderer, no time out,
take any situation.
Number one,
brothers. Notre Dame. How dare you? Brother. You're going to pick up your ball and go
now. We don't want to go. What about the kids at the end of the bench that's been supporting y'all
all year? Give them kids a chance to play in the bowl game. Jeremiah Love ain't got to go out there.
Y'all ain't got to take it as serious as y'all were going to. But give kids a chance. This is
embarrassing as a school to me in my opinion. It's a great point. You're telling Jeremiah Love,
who's going to go to the NFL. Like you're telling Jeremiah Love,
We know you thought you had one more game
but it's more important for us to be really annoyed
Also you know they get a bunch of free shit
When they go to these bowl games right
These kids man like all the swag
Yeah I ain't getting the swag now
No backpack and so you get it
You get paid that look
I can't imagine going to a bowl game
In which like the big crescendo is a pop tart
Being lowered into a toaster
I already told you watch what you say about the pop to watch
I went last year
It was a great national title game last year
I get being with
The energy that's like, I'm not going to go to that.
I'm not going to indulge the Pop-Tart bowl.
That Pop-Tart gave his life for those kids.
I'm good with it.
Believe it or not.
Juju, let's get to some polls for the day.
Yes, sir.
Did you know that there was an East Texas A&M?
74% of the audience says, no, they didn't.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Right.
How many Texas A&Ms are there?
73% of the audience says yes.
Yeah.
I agree.
There's one in Cutter.
That's what we learned to.
Also, listener of the day right quick,
the Stu Goss Army from Twitter pulled up on my boy Zazzo over the weekend.
I see him and gave you a Zaslo Show 2.0 hat, man.
That was awesome.
He came up to our set for a college football campus tour,
and he made Zaslo Show 2.0 hats, which was really awesome.
I'm very appreciate it.
He didn't have the The The Zaslo Show 2.0.
That's right, because he knows.
He knows what's up.
If two teams in your conference championship are named after a guy, do they deserve to be in?
73% of the audience says, no.
Is it okay to front face someone while scooching past them to get back to your seat?
It's wild.
I agree, bro.
Exactly.
65% of the audience says, no, it is not, though.
That's because you remove the context that they wouldn't get up.
I mean, what if the person is standing?
Well, you front-face them?
Like your deals can touch.
No, no.
If they're standing, then I respect them.
I give them respect back.
If they disrespect me by sitting, I disrespect them with one of these across the face.
No hands.
Wow.
And those are your pose.
And I like to add at the end of this, too.
This college football playoff controversy, it's good for business, though.
Because the moment we don't have all of this controversy, man, it's boring and it's probably uninteresting.
So salute to Notre Dame, but how dare you?
you.
