Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during an ad reads like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Cuervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo. Cuervo.
Cuervo. The tequila. That invented tequila. Proximo. Cuervo.com. Please drink responsibly. All right, it's time for Thursday Thunder, and it's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Juju, take it away.
Welcome back, welcome back. Last week, another two for three. If two for three is, oh my goodness, I'm not going to get started. But this week, we're back. I'm going tonight, the Oklahoma City Thunder Moneyline. Those brothers are going to get the W tonight. I know it. Come on, Choo Choo. Come on.
What are the odds on that? It is straight cowardice. They're nine and a half point favorites. One of the biggest favorites in the history of the sport. It's bullshit. Have you seen Halliburton? No. He got it going right now. You never know.
Leg two. I'm going Chet Holmgren under 9.5 rebounds. He's a tall brother, but I don't think he's going to get 10 rebounds tonight at all. Take the under.
And for the last leg, I'm going to the W. I'm going to the Valkyrie. I'm going to the Golden State Valkyrie, the newest team in the league. Veronica Burton, the PG. Tiffany Hayes is hurt right now, so they're going to need a big night from her. I'm going her over 10.5 points tonight, and she will get it done against the Mercury. You dig us.
You'd be winning giant money if you were betting all of Juju's picks, just not his parlays, because he takes a lot of time with these and he often hits two out of three. A couple of things we didn't talk about today, Stugatz. There was in the Boston Red Sox game yesterday, a game winning home run that went 308 feet.
What? That is a pop-up that is closer to a pop-up than it is to a home run. But it went out of the park. It went inside of the pesky pole. 308 feet. I'm not sure if that's closer to a pop-up, but I get your point. Oh, my God. Yeah, it is. I mean, a home run's a home run. A walk-off's a walk-off. A pop-fly. It's like a pop-up stays in the infield. 308 feet is a weak fly ball to the right fielder in every other ballpark in America. Mm-hmm.
It's not very much. It's not an infield pop-up. It was enough in that ballpark. Yeah, to get out. Put it on the poll. Can you have a pop-up in the outfield? I'm pretty sure if it's in the outfield, it's a fly out. You don't think that a pop-up can be a right fielder catching it right behind the second baseman? I'm going to text Tim Kirk. You're saying it's a pop-up if the outfielder, if the infielder catches it. It's not a pop-up if the outfielder catches it?
If the outfielder has to run in. Guys, it's a fly ball to the center fielder. It's a pop-up to the second baseman. I'm with Dan, though. If a second baseman goes out into shallow right, I could see that. I think if you have to have communication between the infielder and the outfielder, that's a pop-up. Roy is giving us the Mutombo finger. No, we're calling that a pop fly. Right. That is the hybrid. Game changer. Game changer.
He really did ruin the entire game. Just took it out, ended the game. The other thing I wanted to point out to you guys, because we didn't talk about this at all. In fact, I think Chet Holmgren was the first mention of anything basketball related in the show today. That wasn't me just mentioning name dropping Stan Van Gundy.
The Pacers are the biggest long shot in the last 20 years. The last long shot like this was the Pistons team that did knock off the Lakers in five games. But a ton of money is coming in on the Pacers.
tons of money. It's at least because they're big value, because they're such a big dog. It's a value play, yes. They're 5-1 underdogs, but the grand majority of the money is coming in on the Pacers because of how rare it is to have this kind of value from one of the team in the finals. So I think it's combined a value play for gamblers and also not a lot of people believing in the Oklahoma City Thunder. I think there's some of that
going on as well i i just uh i believe a ton of people do believe in okc and a lot of money is coming in on okc the way that juju just did it which is they're going to win on the money line etc because they're such an overwhelming favorite but it's just people looking for value uh juju's doing a show after uh the games uh that's live on youtube it's his alley oop show uh
what do you want to give us in the way of preview? Not for that show necessarily, Juju, but just on the series. What are you looking forward to seeing? Man, I'm looking forward to the Pacers. Can they do it? It's been a lot of hype around the Thunder. And they said yesterday on the show that bulletin boards are dead. The bulletin board material, if they were to make a resurrection, I think the
Pacers will have a lot of bulletin board material. So I want to see what they do with that. And of course, we are going live tonight with my sister, Trista Crick, and my brother, Josh Smith, Stephen, their nephew. We're going to be live right after the game. I got a sidebar as well. I see my brother, Chris Cody, talking. He gets compared to a lot.
of people we got a lot of Chris Cody looks like and it's a rising star in Atlanta right now who Chris Cody actually looks like when I see him I see Chris Cody his name is belly gang Cushington in your free time Google belly gang Cushington and that's the most looks like Chris Cody I've ever seen huge rap song look out for him that's strong that's a good name too I like that as a same body size too yeah
Yeah, same coolness, too. Same beard, same lingo. Does he have the same timing on the thunder that you have? Because you and Mike were struggling with whenever it is that you were hitting the thunder there. You were trying to sell it, but doing it poorly. I think that's more of a voice. Take me. Establish bid. Yeah, do it again. Bam! Juju, are you updating some polls for us today?
Yes, sir. And before the polls, I want to say happy Pride Month to all the community out there, as well as a rest in peace to Jonathan Joss, slain this week, a big member of the community. He played, what's his name, John Redcorn on King of the Hill, as well as Ken Hotate.
on Parks and Recreations. Very untimely, very tragedy. So sorry to throw that in your face, but you really did. It was both untimely. It was both very untimely and very tragedy. It was both. And appreciated. And I don't think you're sorry. And also appreciated. Yes. Given his name, should Dalton Kincaid be better at football?
83% of the audience says yes, he should. We can agree on that, right? Dalton Kincaid, that person needs to be a Hall of Famer in football, just based on name. In fact, Stugatz has said this before. He has said this of, is it Jackson Dart? Jackson Dart, yes. On a road field, if I'm a scout, I would call any NFL team and say, I have your quarterback. I'm watching him right now, even if he wasn't good.
I would be saying that of Dalton Kincaid as well, right? Even if he's playing tight end, I'm like, I've got your quarterback. Don't need to see him. Yes, his name is Dalton Kincaid. I don't need any more information. He's just our next quarterback.
Most meaningful Mariner. Ichiro Suzuki, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr. or Jay Buhner. We only have four options for polls. So my brother got Edgar Martinez got left out. That's unfortunate. Good job by you. You got to go Jay Buhner there. Good call. 72% of the audience says Ken Griffey Jr. Do you miss pitchers pinch running in jackets?
I, for one, do. 87% of the audience says yes, they do. We didn't even mention that they would also wear batting gloves. Like before the oven mitt thing that they do now for stealing bases, they'd be out there wearing a helmet, a jacket, and batting gloves. It was the best. Do you hate the Apple controller? 82% of the audience says yes, they do. Salute to our sponsors. Have you ever met a white Anton?
95% of the audience says, no, they have not. Have you ever met anyone named Rance? 92% of the audience says they have not. 8%? That's right. 8% of our audience is just hanging out every weekend with their best friend Rance. If your name is Rance, do you have to wear prescription glasses? 90% of the audience says yes.
And the last poll, our dudes gross. This has never happened before. Maybe it's very early. 100% of you. Wow. We did it. We did it. Lightning me. Thunder me. Hit me, Roy. Hit me, Roy. Wow.
