Before we get out of here and before we get to Juju, is there anything that we missed

today that you guys were dying to talk about? Because Greg Cody again has inserted himself in the center of the Stanley Cup final. Yes, I have been. I want to talk about college baseball. Been dying to talk about what happened to the SEC and how embarrassing that was. For the first time in history, the number one team in the nation failed to get out of just the regional in Vanderbilt. They got a record 13 teams to regionals, and yet the conference with the most teams in

the super regional is the ACC with five, including, improbably, the Miami Hurricanes. And I will be the first in line to apologize to JD. I didn't think you were a program builder. I hated the direction of this club. JD Artiaga, for those who don't know who the manager of the University of Miami baseball is. JD got really hot for two weeks, and then they fell off the face of the earth and if you want to know about

Baseball the Miami Hurricanes were seven for the they had lost seven of their last eight entering that regional Southern Miss had won 18 of their last 19 Miami escapes that Southern Miss regional Baseball they're getting hot at the right time now whether or not this is a fluke I think you could still be skeptical But I had reported exclusively on Cain's insight that JD was coming back no matter what even if they didn't make a regional and I've got egg on my face and I'm glad I like admitting when I'm wrong but I like it more when people prove me wrong JD Arteaga and the Miami Hurricanes have now hopefully they can remain hot

because they've shown through certain segments of the season they can beat anybody they had to Louisville next we'll see but the college baseball regionals and super regionals have been tremendous and I cannot believe what happened to the SEC given the resources that baseball conference has. Does he get to say that he likes being wrong, being able to admit he's wrong?

It shows growth. It shows growth. It's a maturity that no one else on this show displays because everyone else, it's like the jaws, I need to get the jaws of death to win an argument or a debate. Brian Marchand, yeah good player good player. I can still not like him but I won't say that he's a bad player anymore because guess what he showed he showed me good player. I love it when when Miami Hurricanes especially do this. I admitted I was wrong when I said I was gonna play more video games when my kid was born and now I can't. That's not what I'm asking you. I don't think of

Mike as someone who likes to admit when he's wrong. Who looked Jim Larrininga in the eye and said, you know what coach, around Thanksgiving I fired you. And then you went to an Elite 8 and Final Four, I'm sorry coach. Who looked Max Shrews in those beautiful eyes and said, I had you guys wrong. So you like to do this. I love being proven wrong. Guys, it's fine. It's not a big deal. I was wrong about that. Proven wrong. I like to admit when I'm wrong, the diet didn't start on Monday. Paul Maurice, you guys fired him.

Bobrovsky was pronounced by everybody in this town. They were pronouncing his name the same way the same way that Charles Barkley pronounces his name. Sergei Bobovkov. To all time references right there, Paul Maurice, Zazzo called him the murderer of fun. That was trademark. Well, a lot of people, I had to delete tweets about Paul Maurice You guys showed me you guys were so happy to hear Katie hate the Panthers my god That's real fandom. It was great to hear that if Matthew Kachuk went over there She would hate Matthew Kachuk forever more. He scored his first goal. That's someone that loves Puck. There he is ladies and gentlemen He's Greg overrated Juju Gotti has some polls to update

Juju, what are your thoughts here on a Greg Cody Wednesday? Greg Cody is complaining that he has not had a Greg Cody Tuesday, even though this week we got extra Greg Cody, which is good for everybody involved. Everyone gets happy when there's more Greg Cody, but he's complaining because he wants his Tuesdays. Correct. Yes.

And I was wrong when I thought Julius Randall was an NBA player. I was wrong. Like, I wouldn't admit that. Hall of Famer. He's ass. Hall of Famerall was an NBA player. I was wrong. Like I want to admit that he's ass Hall of Famer. Yeah, man Yeah, I think my brother Greg Cody whatever he wants to get these days And I think that we should support Greg Cody a little more I think Billy is right band of brothers watch it sometimes fellas somebody come at one of our own

We know they don't matter if he's right or wrong. We just have his back. You dig it? Greg Cody, I mean. But he's a senile old man. Right, and you're using words like senile. Come on, man, that's disrespectful. That's below the belt.

If you're gonna keep it sports, keep it sports. Tell us your opinion. My brother is not senile. Salute to G. Thank you. I've gotta be honest though. The way that we played that sound because we played it as two different sounds,

the senile old man had escaped me a couple of times. And so that seems to be the place that we're crossing the line that gets Greg to say coward and everything else. Like it's not, there's no, there's nothing else that's even that much of a disagreement. It's that they came at you disrespectfully with senile old man. And Juju is saying we have to stand up for Greg Cody no matter what. Right. He's dedicated his life to this show. 20 years in a row, man. disrespectfully with seen all old man and juju is saying we have to stand up for Greg Cody no matter what right. He's dedicated his life to this show 20 years in a row man. Come on man.

We got to have each other's back and somebody come on anybody on the show no matter who it is. We got to stand behind them. That's why I respect Bill Simmons a little bit. He didn't just talk about Pablo Torre. He said brother, you know what? Come on embarrass me and Pablo stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park My dad could be jinxing the Panthers and that's what we're look. That's really what we're looking out for these

We're protecting the Panthers. Well, it board is dead Right. Hey Ant Man. Yes, you can dunk on everybody But guess what you don't have one of these until you have one of these you're overrated Yeah, hold on that Stanley Cup number Number one and number two got eliminated. Vandy in Texas, did you see how Vandy got eliminated? A ground rule double. If that doesn't bounce over the wall, Wright State gets eliminated,

but instead it bounces over, dudes force back to third, and Wright State has an improbable upset. I mean, hardball, right? Why are, we didn't talk about softball enough yesterday either. Billy, why were you laughing a moment ago? Just because we're gonna bury Greg Cody so that the Panthers don't get jinxed because he said something that we don't like it's insane

Right you just don't want to tug on Superman's cape. You just don't want to do that. Say it after once we win again Oh, right that make overrated nothing but tugging on Superman's cape over there. Cody's not Superman No one's ever confused Superman with a senile old man. Neither is McDavid based on his track record in Stanley Cup. His track record is he is, if you were to make a Superman comp in that league, is he'd be the best.

Really? Yes, he is the best. Yeah, unfortunately he has his kryptonite. It's called the Stanley Cup. Lord Stanly. He's a senile old man. That was a bar. We need to get him to come in next week dressed as Superman.

I want him. Not McDavid. The George Reeves version? I want the Greg Cody version of Superman where he comes in here and he shows McDavid what's what about everything that's happening here. Juju, are there any thoughts that you have on what I believe to be one of the most shocking revelations I've ever heard on the air on MetalArk Media, which is David Sampson grinning maniacally while saying how it is that he had a black church in his sway because he's a

manipulative. It's great. Yes. It's great. It was hilarious. Him in front of a black shirt saying can I get an amen? It doesn't get any better than that. I want video of that. That's fantastic It's just it's it's makes your skin crawl. It's so wonderful It makes your skin crawl, it's so wonderful. I don't think those words have been thrown together before. No, I don't use that right now. Yeah, bro, look, when he said, can I get an eye, man, I was like, oh, I couldn't go back into the couch anymore.

I'm like, what are you doing? Don't play in our face like that. Well, hey man, the stadium got built. So hats off to the bro. I don't want to take my hat off to that. I don't want to tip my cap to it. I don't want to be anything but offended by it. And again, I will say this and I will have no shame in it.

Black people, the second in line on most offended people by what David Sampson said and did there.. Gaia Vera, when you've been in South... Gaia Vera. Also, he's Jewish. No, but it's not, yes, it's not... Like, it's probably the third... That's right. That's correct.

Gaia Vera. That's right, but it's... Look, the way he does it, Gaia Vera, he doesn't know how to pronounce anything. That man promised me in Little Havana there would be an economy there. There's just still that dumbass Wendy's. Gaia Vera. We're getting that live there. They're building that. There... We also have the death flamingo on Cahiocho. There's just still that dumbass Wendy's and I've had we're getting that live there. They're building that there There we also have the death flamingo

We do old guy of era promised us that the economy of Little Havana would come back with that stadium And he had this journalist in his pocket rah-rah on behalf of how South Florida would would rise up and you work with both It's unbelievable a guy of Havana Hate it. it's just terrible it's I don't understand how you are so hard how can your Spanish be that bad how can it be that bad I can't I've had a Greg Cody's the only one who ate Billy's pastelitos they were good thank you Greg super down circle thank you Greg yes good what was the jam in there like guava what was that what do you

super duper good. It's usually the jam on bread. Thank you, sir. He doesn't like it. I've seen apple ones. Guys, do you know that when he says he doesn't like Cuban food, it's because he hasn't had any of it. Well, I've had it a lot.

Yeah, I just don't prefer it. So much so that you say, what kind of jam is that? You don't even know guava? You don't know what it is? Yeah, there are other kinds of pasolitos. Yeah, there are. I mean, please. Guava is always guava.

Guava's confusing too, though, because the plant could be like a white guava too. There's a red guava, a white guava, you don't know. Could be strawberry and guava. Seen apple jam, basilitos lately. We're gonna get to the polls in a second, but just one more time here, because you just heard Tony tonight, and Tony is doing something that is a UFC hustle

that has gotten very popular for him when he does the watch alongs on Saturday nights off UFC fights tell people what you've got going on because we've got an assortment of things to promote here because Juju is Popping up after all of these basketball games on alley-oop with some of his friends and doing some live and fun content That's different from what we're doing around here We've been doing alley-oops together me and J have been doing basically every single one of them except one together. And they've been super fun. I appreciate him for having me on and nerdy out on basketball.

Yeah, Saturday, UFC 316. Marabdou Alijvili versus Sean O'Malley 2. Kayla Harrison versus Julianna Pena 1. A lot of fun stuff at the Dev Flamingo starting at 10. But that's only after the hockey show. If they're fighting the first time, do we have to put the one on it? No but I'm just you know okay doing a thing. Roy the hockey show again because we've got a busy weekend coming up here with an assortment of stuff this is June 6th 8 p.m. it's a live watch along with you

and who else? It's gonna be David Dwork, it's gonna be Rosie and Ethan from the hockey show we are gonna do a live stream and a watch along on game two of the standing cup final between the Ohlers and Panthers. Must win? Must win. For who, Billy? Well, I said game one was a must win.

Roy's now elevating into game two. But for who were you saying? Well, game two would be a must win for the team that loses game one. But also for the team that wins game one, you really set the tone. If you're up 2-0, oh, and if you're the Panthers on the road coming back home 2-0, but never forget if you're the Panthers, on the road, coming back home 2-0.

Never forget what happened with the Panthers last year. They were up 3-0, and then they ended up almost blowing that series. Who is it more of a must-win for game one tonight? Game one, not yeah. He goes yeah. Not yeah. Who is it more of a must-win?

For whom? For hockey. For whom? I think the real winner's gonna be us, though, the fans. You're not gonna win this, Tim. Okay, so who has the more must-win probabilities on their shoulders? All he has is a graphic he's like this all the time and on Wednesday it seems ridiculous But what the ridiculous thing is he's always like this well

This is what you say, but I will say that if you want to take over something because you're jealous of Wild Willy Wednesday I'm not jealous. Don't do that. I just find this whole Wednesday next week. I'll give you Wednesday next week. Let me know It's Wild Willy Wednesdays And the jokers on it for some reason. It's Wild Willy Wednesdays. Thematically it's confusing. But Mike, if you're not jealous of Billy and Wild Willy Wednesdays, I just want you to know

that Jason, who's never met a bad idea he doesn't want to share with me. Cut to Jason. Jason, our director, said to me, hey Dan, if you want to, I can do some imaging for Mild Mike Mondays. Hey! All right, and now Jason is fired.

So I said to Mike, you might want to run that by Mike. It sounds like a bad idea. You might want to get Mike's authority. Being called Mild by Jason is wild. Mild Mike Mondays. Did he eat any pastelitos? Did Jason run off? That's when you know the pastel bust elite was weren't any good

They were Greg told me that's the only acceptance. I do and Jason don't get him if Jason doesn't have some flakes Teacher what do we have on the polls, please at Levitard show Congratulations the Cocoa Golf for making it to the semifinals as well. Is game one ever a must win? 62% of the audience says, yes it is. See, I told you. It's the second final. No, I can't be wrong about this. You are.

If the Knicks would have won game one versus the Pacers, would Tibbs still have his job? 74% of the audience says yes he would. That's funny, right? That's funny. You guys will grant me, no matter what we're arguing on Tibbs, that's funny. We own you, we run you.

And we fire our coach too. Right, also congratulations to Austin Ains for being hired by the- How'd that happen? The next president. He works hard. That's how it happened. How did that happen?

What is that connection? It's just talent, hard work. It's just merit. How did an Ains get that job? Best available Ains. Probably sat in the corner for a few years, did some hard work and grinded his way up. Yep.

Is the bulletin board dead? 65% of the audience says, yes it is. How can you guys say that when Greg Cody twice now has made him the center? He's made himself the centerpiece of the NHL Stanley cup final. How can you say that? His father, Connor McDamon's father is bitching about Cody at the hobo room because By sheer, not this year yet. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. I know.

Don't let, don't tell Dan he can't do that again. Because Dan will make sure we get there again. We're gonna find out about McJesus' mom. You know what, Dan? One of those off days when they're down here, I'll go to the elbow room for the show. Who did McDavid? Thank you.

Thanks, Chris. Roy, what's the backstory here? McDavid's dad went and sought out Dwork or he told who did he talk to somebody I believe was Ethan that was at the elbow room and talked to him wasn't Zazzle like Zazzle was really upset at the whole Greg Cody thing too because like what got back it was someone five reasons I remember that it was one of the wrap five reasons he went I went up to Rose, yeah. I went, saw him at Elbow Room and he, yeah. Okay, well put, good dismount.

Good, good, excellent exit to the show there. You guys know the story, he saw him at Elbow Room and how do we know it was his dad? Could have been a dad impersonator. Good question. Crazy Cody Wins. A guy of atta. Mild Mike Mondays.

What is that idea? I don't know they all start with em Manic than mild of course I had not seen that My if you put the three M's together boom Give us five500 million. Is it a dopey hat? That number was not announced. Is it a dopey hat? 90% of the audience says yes it was,

and those are your polls. That's it. I wanna get back to Monday's polls. There were some good polls this week. I'm changing my list, by the way. I said based on current form. Chuckie's not a top 10 player. Series predictions on the way out here and swaggy up to number 10 oh we'll get so much Homer here

Okay, I'm gonna do it I hate that I'm gonna do it. I do it Dan. I hate that. I'm gonna do it I believe the Panthers will lose to this team I don't know I don't want to do that tonight Tonight or overall? Overall, tonight's a must win, obviously. Thank you for offsetting. Now you see what we talk about. Oh no, Dan, Dan. That's good balance right there, Dan.

That's good balance, he's restoring order. That's great. Yeah, I mean, he's on one hand, killing our team's chances, but then he's like, let me give you a little bit bulletin board material. I bang the drum for this team, and yet I'm picking against. But you guys are all homers, and I know which way you're gonna go on this and I just think it's

toss-up enough that you can believe in your idea of team. I believe in the idea that this person is an immortal and he's about to prove it. I'm down the middle on this I'm going Panthers since 6. I think in order to be the immortal that I believe McDavid to be that he not only has to slay a dragon that the Panthers are obviously as champions, but has to do it to this defense, this coach, this team, as their coach says, this is the best team of my lifetime. It's exactly the thing you have to go through.

And I believe Immortals show you that they're immortal. Immortal. Not last year. He's going to be an immortal. He's already an immortal. Is he? Yes! I think you're born an immortal.

You don't become an immortal. Everybody's in the Hall of Fame. Thank you, Greg. That's the NBA. That's the other Hall of Fame. He's at 28 years old. He's already compiled a Hall of Fame career. Oh, he had a great career.

It's irrefutable. He's not as much an immortal as Mark Andrews. Good callback. Yeah. I could have said that a lot cleaner, too. I thought I had the dismount. You're full! Well, I just had to remind you.

Die, Vettel. Yeah, I'm going Oilers in seven too. Panthers in six. Yeah, I knew you guys were gonna, it's all Panthers and Panthers and Panthers and Panthers. Literally just picked Oilers in seven. He just said the Oilers. Guy who banged a drum calling the rest of us homers.

Cheerleader, literally. You said Oilers in seven because you like to ratchet up the stakes so that it's between whether or not you get to be spectacularly wrong. I would like for McDavid to prove Greg Cody wrong, actually. It's a hedge bet by you. No, no. You're not rooting for McDavid to prove Greg Cody wrong.

No, don't get inside my head. I think I've seen both these teams all year. I think they're both a little bit better. We'll see if Skinner was what he was last series, then Edmonton wins this series. It'll be a great contest. The Hyman thing, I would have said Edmonton in six had the Hyman injury not happen,

but I think this is gonna be a great series. I don't think there's gonna be any shame in losing to the best player maybe ever in Connor McDavid. I think the Panthers have had a hell of a run. They're built to continue going. They're young enough to continue winning more cups and getting to this point. I just think they're going up against a demigod

in Connor McDavid and a really good team that has done plenty of suffering. Demigod. Wow. Got me David pooping his shorts. There you go. Katsun 4 of Choo Choo gets it. Katsun 7. Wow. Like me David pooping his shorts. There you go. Casual four. Choo-choo gets it. Canson seven.

Wow. McOverrated zero. But he's a senile old man. Zero. Zero. You got him with a zero. You called him a coward. You got him with a zero.

We all got to be in a good series. There isn't anybody that can be confident about this series, because everyone's got it like six, seven. It's going to be great. Great series. Just to close the loops of Greg simply shows up on Saturday a thousand dollars is his Incorrect I do a little work gotta work and support the Tony broadcast Gotta earn gotta learn Yeah

That kind of thing people think that a peck is a little thing. It's a big old sack Nelly doogie and the wild bill 1448 thank you Drew Drew 1440
