Transcript of Jeff Daniels Favorite Sandwich Is WHAT?! | Postgame Show New

Against the Spread. Against the Spread.

Against the Spread is presented by DraftKings.

DraftKings, the crown is yours. Mike, what do we got?

We have the Champions League final this weekend, Saturday noon Eastern time. PSG against Arsenal. Arsenal have finally won the Premier League and they are going up against reigning European champion PSG always seem overwhelming, but Arsenal always seem to drag these matches into the mud. What gives here? I think PSG's class is just too top-notch. I'm gonna take them minus a half goal.

Juju, you already know what I'm going with. The Western Conference Finals is happening and the Golden Knights are up 3-0. I'm taking the Golden Knights minus 105 to get the sweep tonight.

Wow, that's right, that series has been crazy. I immediately regretted what I said about the Colorado Avalanche. They went from heavy favorites to being swept. McKinnon and Makar can't seem to be healthy, but still, even then, Colorado is so loaded. I cannot believe what is happening right now. We might be living in the United States of Tortorella.

We are definitely living in the United States of Tortorella. Is it the United States of Tortorella? It is the United States of Tortorella. Is it the United States of Tortorella?

You shut your mouth, Stephen A. It very clearly is.

I mean, the last one, Colorado getting up 3-0 and all of a sudden losing 5-3. I didn't see that coming. I thought that Colorado would reverse that entire series, scoring 3 first-period goals in Vegas, and then they lose 5-3. This is— this doesn't feel satisfying to me to see, to see Colorado knocked out and to see the Florida Panthers replaced by either at Carolina, Montreal, or Vegas doesn't feel right to me. It doesn't, it doesn't feel the same kind of hockey playoff earned as the last couple of years have felt. Vegas is phony, that's a phony thing that's happening.

The Panthers won more games in Vegas this year. They did.

Well, we'll be in luck next postseason. It'll just add to the story. But in the Western Conference, those are the— outside Edmonton, those are 2 of the 3 teams that have been in the conversation every year. We told you before that series started that the defensive forwards for Las Vegas are specially equipped with their forecheck and their ability to stop what seems to be an overwhelming rush from Colorado. And when you have guys who are exceptional at that rush to the blue line like McKinnon, who's hurt, who's really banged up now, and Makar, who wasn't there for the first 2 games, that is a huge dent in their arsenal.

I'm hate-watching the Carolina Hurricanes, obviously, but I was talking myself off the ledge this morning with Carolina winning last night 2-1, where even if— and with Colorado seemingly not going to be there to beat Carolina in the Stanley Cup Final, if Carolina wins the Stanley Cup, it is gonna be a fun storyline to hang over them. Yeah, you never beat the Panthers. Like, you, you couldn't do it when the Panthers were in the playoffs. You won when the Panthers weren't.

I hate that it's working out for them. Their whole plan of just maybe they get hurt Let's just keep going. And it works out for them. They're stinky.

No, but like, I'm glad that the Panthers missed the playoffs now, you know, as opposed to sneaking in and losing in the first round.

What is Colorado's injury situation and health situation at the moment? Because I think I could form the argument that Colorado would be the most likely team in history to come down from 3-0 given who they're playing, given the fact that Zazz just got done telling you The Panthers didn't make the playoffs and won more games than Vegas did this season.

It's not a good injury situation. Is McKinnon playing tonight? He left that game for what felt like a full period between the second and then returning midway through the third. I'm always confused by that. The guy's not healthy enough to start the third period, but 5 minutes into it, he's like, all right, I'll give it a go. We'll find out after they're eliminated what they're dealing with.

He's going to play.

Hockey is funny like that. A team will get bounced, they won't say anything into a microphone, and then you realize that someone was skating with two broken heels.

I mean, it's just drugs. It's just when do the drugs start working and can it get working 5 minutes into the period? Before we get to the polls here, I don't know if you guys saw what Stephen Colbert did after he was let go Thursday by CBS and The Late Show in general was canceled forever. It is, I would say, a pretty troubling time time in America where your great truth-telling jesters who are giving people a lot of nightly news information, one of them is now gone. The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon doesn't do it, and the president of the United States is mobilizing arms to get the other one when a lot of people get their information from those comics. But he went on public access television and basically is daring CBS to sue him after in his last show playing the Peanuts jingle when it's gonna cost CBS money because they're already in lawsuits involving the Peanuts music. He goes on to public access television and his host, or his co-host, is Jack White, the, you know, moderately reclusive rock star, is doing public access television with Stephen Colbert and they're basically just doing their show elsewhere and daring CBS to sue them.

But it got me to thinking about Jeff Daniels, and Jeff Daniels had one of the strangest answers I've ever heard in the Colbert Questionnaire to his favorite sandwich. Listen to this.

Pita bread, you need some creamy peanut butter.

Wow, you threw me there.

Now, pita bread, circular— pita bread, those circular things, right? Right. With a little air pocket in if you want, but don't— we don't—

we don't pocket this one.

No, we put the quarter inch— a quarter inch—

a quarter inch of butter on—

of creamy peanut butter.

So you've got no other plans for the rest of the day?

No, no.

And you're You're only doing half of it. And then you're getting Ruffles cheddar and sour cream potato chips. And you're getting a handful of them and you're crunching them up. And then you're sprinkling them on the peanut butter. Then you're getting your favorite brand of barbecue sauce. That's right.

We're talking KC Masterpiece.

What are we doing? Sweet Baby James is preferred. OK. And I think that was— yeah, I think that was—

Is that put up by James Taylor?

It's not. It's no, but he's— they owe him money. Um, but the peanut butter, the, the, the Ruffles potato chips and the barbecue— fold it over, boom. And yeah, it's my three— could be my three favorite tastes. Peanut butter, those, those— that brand of potato chips and the barbecue sauce. It's like visiting three countries at once.

Just horrific.

I was kind of with him until the barbecue sauce. I tried it over the weekend. Or I attempted to try it. What? First off, 20 milligrams. Yeah, that's a given. Obviously. So I put in the order for the DoorDash: pita bread, creamy peanut butter, Ruffles sour cream and cheddar, Sweet Baby Ray's, not Sweet Baby James. That was a little— yeah, that was— he misspoke there. And I got it all. And unfortunately for me, the pita bread that I had was moldy. And not like I had to look for it. What was this courier doing? I mean, ew, half the pita bread was moldy. So I had to think quick, and then I subbed out the pita bread for Hawaiian bread, which— that makes it better. Upgrade is delightful. But it was also the mini Hawaiian bread, so I couldn't have like the full experience. But I did, regardless of the bread, put the creamy peanut butter on there, crunched up the sour cream and cheddar, and I put on the Sweet Baby Ray's.

Talk to me.

Pretty good.

He is talking to you.

He was talking to you.

Chase it with a Coca-Cola Classic.

Ooh.

All those flavors work really well with a nice can of Coke.

I have a number of follow-up questions for you and the group, because Juju was stifling what seemed like vomit the entire time. One of my questions: where do you get this? Like, how do you get this specific order? Who are you calling to get these— the one place that has all of these ingredients?

Well, there's apps, Dan.

Publix.

You know how they go to, you know, your fast food place of choice? They can also go to a supermarket and you put in the request. And my order was simple. It was just those things detailed. Pita bread, Sweet Baby Ray's, sour cream and cheddar.

So somebody's making you a sandwich. $64. Okay, so the other—

I wasn't driving. 20 milligrams.

The other question I want to ask the group is, if your order comes back with moldy pita bread And are you eating the rest of the things with trust?

Can't, can't do that, no.

I mean, peanut butter, yes.

Chips, maybe.

I mean, everything else is actually non-spoilable.

Everything else is sealed.

Yeah, but once you're wrapping it in moldy pita bread, I don't trust the rest of what you're doing as an establishment.

I didn't. It was very clear from like the packaging that there was a huge piece of mold, and I took it out just to inspect, like, maybe. Because I was 20 milligrams. Like, maybe the fourth pita bread is pristine.

Yeah, maybe.

Like, you know how mold works. I can see it. It can't possibly reach the fourth pita. Yeah, it did. It did.

Talking to you.

Uh, Juju, how disgusted are you by everything that just happened here?

Bro, I'm about to throw up listening to Mike. Uh, I would never see brother Jeff Daniels the same, or nor Dumb and Dumber. Kind of not even Jim Carrey. This is horrible, horrible. It's not bad.

It's not bad. Now, again, I didn't do the authentic experience because I didn't have the pita bread. I wanted the pita bread because it was an obstacle with the Hawaiian bread, but I liked it. It was fine, especially with a Coca-Cola.

I'll do it this week on Mystery Crates.

Yeah, let's do it.

Seems fun.

I'm in.

Uh, we've had Jeff Daniels on a couple of times. I have been remiss in not asking him about the fact that for Dumb and Dumber, all he got paid on the front end was $50,000 for Dumb and Dumber. I was shocked to learn that. Over the weekend.

It's amazing, like, wasn't Dumb and Dumber after Speed? Speed was a real movie. Why is he only making $50,000? Speed was a massive blockbuster. $50,000 for Dumb and Dumber?

We'll have to get him on again to ask him these questions. Uh, Juju, can you update the polls for us, please?

Yes, sir. Analytically, are the Cavs the champions? 57% of the audience says no, they are not. Analytically, Is Kenny Atkinson fired? 91% of the audience says yes, he is. If you're making a correction, should you make sure it's correct?

Why you look at me? I did.

96% of the audience says yes, you should. Do you remember the Chuckles the Clown episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show? 68% of the audience says no. In South Florida, do you need to have a Hamas jersey in your closet? 83% of the audience says no. And last poll, does everyone know that Brandon Phillips is the Reds' former second baseman? And everyone knows that.

Well, we spelled that Hamas, so we may want to change that.

Oh, no.

Whoops.

I was going to add to that.

Oh, no.

Oh, that's unfortunate.

You think I need a Hamas jersey in my closet?
