That's right, it's Thursday Thunder presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Juju.
Yes sir, Thursday Thunder, we are back, ladies and gentlemen. I'm, I'm just kicking it tonight, you feel me? I usually wait till the Sunday games, but not tonight. Tonight, I'm going with over 60 yards for my brother George Pickens. He didn't have such a great game last game, but his yards still was over. 2 catches, about 70 yards, man. So yes, sir. Next leg, Bucky Irvin. They got the rookie quarterback right now. They gotta depend on that run game a little bit more than they usually would have to. So we going over 13.5 rush attempts for Bucky Irvin. Next leg. You just seen my boy. He caught 1,000 passes last week. Nothing here is making me think that he won't catch at least 6 balls tonight. So we going with over 5.5 catches for CeeDee Lamb tonight. And the last leg. Rookie quarterback. He got his favorite targets. He used to watch TV just like us. And he has the ghost of Chris Godwin on his squad. And he think he needs to get him over 3.5 balls tonight. Lock it in. Thursday Thunder, DraftKings Sports, now available in all 50 states.
Juju, a statistical oddity is happening tonight on Thursday Night Football, courtesy of my friend Terrik at Clevin Analytics. This matchup tonight is the number 32 pass offense versus the number 32 pass defense. pass defense. It's only the 5th time in the last 25 years that this matchup has occurred in the regular season after the first month of the season. The 32nd-ranked offense is 4-0 straight up. Even though they've been favored all 4 times, this is an outlier.
This is a great example of a stoppable force meeting immovable object.
The Dominique Foxworth Show is something that you should listen to if you want to get your facts right. Uh, Georgia is a 1-point 1.5-point dog at Bama. Since 2021, Georgia's only been an underdog 3 times in the last 78 games.
Is this— is this game in jeopardy of being moved?
I just saw a recent weather forecast that said showers are certainly in the picture, but winds only at 20 miles per hour. I say only, but it seems like some of the worst stuff that they're anticipating in the area is still going to be a little removed.
These hurricanes, though, the hurricanes are gathering in speed faster than they used to, and weather abnormalities are going be all over the place. So, uh, Chris Paul doing a great job. It got very fast, like that hurricane has escalated to Category 3, uh, status in a very short period of time. Uh, let's get to some of the fun stuff here with Juju. Do we have any, uh, top 5 lists, any Jokers of the Day, any other things that we need to be doing with you right now, Juju?
Yes, uh, yes sir, man. First off, Joker of the Day, man. Oh my goodness. New York Liberty head coach Chris DeMarco.
I'm saying.
Look, man, 4 seconds left in the game. They are down 3 points. They have to travel the full length of the court.
What was that?
They have a, they have a timeout in their pockets. He chooses not to call a timeout. saying that he didn't think they had a timeout. They asked the officials, they said they didn't have a timeout. Brother, you are the coach. I don't give a damn who's— what— who say got a timeout. You are the coach. You have your own statisticians over there. I think that since New York— y'all call yourselves the Mecca, right? This is— this is an egregious offense. As a former hooper, I say y'all make a change and do what's right. Fire Chris DeMarco before game 3.
Whoa, we're not doing that.
Before— whoa, why not?
Mid-series?
That's a Maine guy.
That's my guy, man.
This is— this is— okay, well, reprimand. Salute. Okay, I'm gonna change my tone then. I'm out because I ride for my dogs. But for you not to call that timeout— imagine if this was the NFL and it was 10 seconds left in the game, and you know what, the coach decides to kick a field goal and he has a timeout. but he tries to make the field goal, come on, and then time runs out before he got the kick. We would have his job in question the next day. So Chris DeMarco, salute to you and the mean, but you, sir, are the Joker of the Day.
He's right. He's right. That, that league loves blaming referees. I'm sorry. It, it is such a bad job by that coach. Let me play—
let me play DeMarco's advocate here.
If the refs—
even if my my bookkeeping says I have a timeout. If the refs say I don't have it, why would I call a timeout?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up, hold up. You think if Erik Spoelstra was told that he, he knows he has a timeout, but the referee says you don't have any more, Spoelstra's like, all right, I guess I'm just gonna eat it.
Spo famously very recently called a timeout he did not have.
It's like one of the most famous examples of exactly what you're saying.
Oh, okay, because he believed that he had one.
It's gonna haunt him till his deathbed. He's gonna be on his deathbed and it's gonna haunt him.
Just like the second apron.
Yes.
Yeah, that's it. That— but that's— this is the problem here because see, now this is all they talking about, brothers. This is distracting y'all from the belt that Atlanta is putting across that ass right now. I don't want to hear about this timeout stuff all day. And did they have— nah, did you see Angel Reese though? It's my problem. You getting this from Atlanta Dream fan. I'm disgusted by your non-calling of a timeout because I respect the game, bruh. I want to win the right way. Get him out of here. And also don't let that Distract you from the worst pass I have ever seen in WNBA history, right? From Sabrina Ionescu with under 10 seconds left. She threw the ball on the 4th row.
Yep.
Who the hell is you passing it to, ma'am?
That's what I know.
Zazz, did you see that?
Yeah, I said the same thing. Who are you passing it to? Yes, of course I saw it.
And they want to talk about the timeouts. No, sir.
They love blaming the referees, that league. They love it.
Right.
Any top 5 list for us today, Juju?
Yes, sir, man. I had a top 5 that stemmed from a video I saw online where a kid and a guy, he caught the baseball. So an adult caught the baseball and the people around his section was pressuring him to give the ball to the kid. Did you guys see this video?
Yeah.
Video team, do we have this video for the audience? Sorry, I did not. There we go.
Wow. I'm not giving it to the kid. I feel bad, but I'm not giving it to the kid.
Who's that guy?
Oh, no. Oh, look at that kid.
Great camera work.
Oh no, adorable kid.
What a jerk.
You don't do that. I hate that. You know, I caught Darian Mensah's towel, handed it over to a child immediately.
You're a hero.
I am. Thank you for noticing.
You're amazing.
You wouldn't have known if I didn't tell you.
Yeah, see, and that makes me want to bring this to Judge Zazz because as an adult, you buy these tickets and I would see if you are in a scrum and you and the kid are going for the ball. Okay, cool. Give me one second, little kid.
Let me take a picture right quick.
Caught the ball.
Here we go, little boy, you feel me? But he just caught a ball and a kid just happened to be sitting in the section. Judge Zazz—
Wait, wait, so I just heard, I just heard, uh, Juju request a court date.
All rise, the Honorable Jonathan Zaslow now presiding with prejudice.
I've seen the evidence in this case. Everyone knows that when an adult, especially male, gets a foul ball, great, celebrate it for a moment, then look around for the closest little kid and you give it to him, all right? But the defendant in this case, this is, this is a guy in his early 20s, all right? This is a young man here. This isn't even a real grown-up. He's allowed to keep that ball.
Whoa!
He's allowed to keep that ball.
Whoa!
Yep.
If I catch a ball in the stands, I must immediately give it to a child, and I will. But that, that's, that's not, that's not a grown-up right there. That's a young man. He's allowed to keep the ball.
Plus, he's a Dodgers fan at Dodger Stadium.
I'm not giving it to a Braves kid.
If I'm giving it to a kid, it's gonna be a Dodgers kid.
Guys, we're focusing on the wrong thing. The camera work is incredible.
It's an awesome shot.
The guy pans to the kid and then zooms, and the kid hit the mark perfectly.
Right as he says, right as he says, I'm not giving it to a kid, perfect pan to the right. Yeah, that game was in Atlanta.
And an adorable kid with an adorable haircut.
Uh, name 3 songs. There's a Dodger fan in Atlanta.
Yeah, well, yeah, it was in LA. Okay, so play on.
That kid can tell me the top of the rotation of the '96 Braves, he can have it.
So yeah, so from that, I was under the influence of thinking that, you know what, I think bro Mike should keep that ball, man. Salute to the kid, but salute. It made me think of a top 5 list that adults stop doing for no damn reason at all, you feel me? Number 5, dancing, bro. Athletes, when did it come taboo to just bust a move right quick? I be going out to my homeboy, they are so gangster, they will not take their hands out their pockets, man. We need to start dancing more.
Juju, that's a— that, that's a— I think that's a cultural thing, man. Like, uh, like, uh, it's like a generation— excuse me, generational thing. 'Cause back in my day, everybody danced. Everybody danced. And until Fat Joe said, we don't dance, we just— all we do is this. That's when it changed.
Do the Rockaway. Number 4, making forts.
Athletes.
Come on, man. Living room fort. Let's put the cover— let's start it from here. Tuck the pillow under there. And I'm gonna watch TV on this side, bruh. Uh-oh, I farted. Here's the air vent. Like, come on, bro, what happened to that? This is fun. Bring back forts.
It's Snoop.
Snoop knocked down that fort, and ever since then, forts haven't been cool, right?
Number 3, just bust a random cartwheel, man. You walking down the street, just bust a cartwheel out of nowhere, man. Who says no? Why not?
My sciatica.
You dig it?
That's who says no.
But see, you, you got the sciatica because you stopped doing cartwheels at one point. That's what happens to us, you dig it? Neither here nor there. Number 2, man, just throwing up the random S on a piece of paper, man.
Athletes.
You know what I'm talking about if you know, man. Just draw the S.
To this day.
3, 6 lines.
To this day, Juju, still be doing it.
Yeah. You know what I mean? Not going anywhere for a while, just throw up the random S on your paper, man. Money sign S. And the number 1 thing, man, that we just stopped doing for no damn reason. Hold on, I'm, I'mma do it real quick, impromptu.
Finally saw his belly kiss.
It took several years, but he finally showed me.
Nice.
Oh, I used to love that move. Juju, do it.
Oh, that's the best.
Yo, wow.
Oh, I love that move. Oh man, we supposed to do that forever.
Okay, so salute. Roy just said to me, Roy just said to me helpfully, describe for the audio audience. How the hell am I going to describe what he just did? Everyone knows. Athletes. How do I describe what it is that he just did? He took one arm, tucked it inside of his shirt, attached it to his other arm that wasn't tucked inside of his shirt, and then had something growing out of his stomach as he moved his arms up and down.
It's his hog.
@LeBatardShow, uh, on the poll questions, you can vote, uh, at any time of day or night, whenever it is that you please, What do you have, Juju?
Have you ever heard the word news start with the letter R? 93% of the audience says no, they have not.
Feed me, Seymour!
I just realized, in order for Juju to pull that off, he had to know that he was going to wear a long-sleeve shirt on this day. That's great attention to detail, sir.
Well done.
I have to correct a point that I made earlier. I actually have seen the Sage production of Little Shop of Horrors, and I just totally forgot that I did.
Not an important correction.
I'd like to be honest and admit when I'm wrong.
Damn it, did you guys see my—
Where'd you go, the Proud Center? Did you guys see my belly button?
Miracle Center. Miracle Mile. Actors Playhouse.
Wow.
Wow, there's a nipple. What do I do here? 85% of the audience says yes.
Feed me, Seymour!
Do you know why they call it an apron? 88% of the audience says no, they do not.
Feed me, Seymour!
Do you want to be a smarter fan? 59% of the audience says yes, they do.
Feed me, Seymour!
And last, most important poll: isn't Amin awesome? 67% of the audience says yes. And those are your polls.
Feed me, Seymour!
What are you doing? You're doing a Groucho Marx shaking a fake cigar? At us with a paper, like that's what you're doing. Bye bye.
"I put together a Top 5 List of things adults stop doing for no damn reason..."
