DraftKings. DraftKings. The crown is yours. Yeah, it is yours. Go ahead. Welcome back to Thursday Thunder. Shouts out to everybody who bet Thursday Thunder last week and became billionaires because we struck gold finally after a long drought. This week, we're going to try to replicate that greatness. First leg.

Michael Jalen Branson is going to have to show up for the Knicks tonight. So I'm going over 29.5 points for my brother Jalen Branson because they're going to need him. Second leg,

I'm going with the assassin, the instigator, Benedict Matherin. You feel me? Over 6.5 points for him because I think that... Wow, what a thunder. It's thunder. Tremendous thunder. I think he's going to be needed. He found something last game, and I think he's going to stick with it. I think he's going to give us at least 6.5 points tonight. Last leg...

Tyrese Halliburton over 9.5 assists. Wait. Oh, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. It wasn't good timing. Sometimes there's a delay. You know how that works. Sometimes that does happen. You can't predict it. Storm's still far away.

Over 9.5 assists for Tyrese Halliburton. He's going to be dishing and diming. Dropping dimes, dropping dimes. For those of you who have not been following, Juju and friends pop up after playoff games. They've been doing a great job on his alley-oop show post-game, live, after fun basketball games. So check them out tonight.

on YouTube, Saturday on YouTube. Before I go any further, though, the boldest take of the week. I have not done this yet this week, and forgive me for a second, Juju, before we get to today's topic-ery podcast.

Play for me, please, the boldest take of the week. You guys have increased the standard around here. There are now expectations for this thing. Let me hear what we've got this week. The Boost Mobile Boldest Take is presented by Boost Mobile, the newest 5G network in the country. You can call 305-486-GOTZ. That's 305-486-4689.

Hey, this is Paul on the mobile. First time, long time. Anybody who wants their toaster on less than a four setting doesn't actually want toast. I'll hang up and listen. Hello, this is Josh from my couch. Encores at concerts are a waste of time.

Just play the songs without going backstage. Hey, it's Dane calling on a PlaySchool phone. It's harder to clean up pancakes than it is to make them. That's all I got. You've got the French on D. You've got the French on D.

When Carl Malone is coming straight ahead. And Shaq is dropping dunks on your head. Yeah, just remember what your old pal said. Yeah, you got LaFrance on D.

Yeah, you got the friends on D. Hey, this is Chris from Texas. My bold take is ketchup is for kids. I'll hang up and listen. Hey, Isaiah Collin from Las Vegas. Can we talk about the collusion among hot dog companies?

And hot dog buns, hot dogs are sold in a pack of 10. Buns are sold in a pack of 8. Forcing you to buy two packs, spending more money. We gotta get to the bottom of this. I'll hang up a little. Hey, it's Ron on a mobile. This is my limited take, Greg Cody singing Houdini by Dua Lipa. I come and I go. Tell me all the ways you need me. I'm not here for long. Catch me or I go. Who needs me?

More Rafe LaFrance songs, please. 305-486-GOTS. Love that music. 305-486-GOTS. Is that elevator music or waiting room music? What is that? Isn't it not the same? Is it? All right, put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Is elevator music the same as waiting room music? I'm in the dentist right now.

And I'm about to be called. I have failed. Do me a favor, Chris, please. Just reach out to Tim Kirkson and David Sampson and ask them both, have they ever farted on a plane? I messed up by not asking them earlier in the show. Juju, do you have any thoughts on how disgusting Chris Cody is with everything that happened with the blizzard earlier?

Bruh, Hawk said it best. I know he's a showman. Hats off to my brother for being a showman. Show comes first. No business like show business. But why did you dip it in your mouth before dipping it back in the blizzard? It's like you said, you know what? Let me get these germs out of the way first. Now it's back blizzard time. Of course, I'm disgusted. I don't even use spoons that come out of the pack. So...

But I love my brother. Look at this. Holy moly. Do I go back? I don't go back into the blizzard before I hit it? No, the thought process was, ooh, that fell on the floor. Let me clean this off before I put it in my mouth. You know what, though? In Chris's defense, if he just cleans it off the one time, he's getting the germs once. But if he sticks it back in the blizzard, who knows how many times he's going to have to go back to the germs over and over again. That's what I was thinking. He got all the germs, Jeremy.

Right. And Jeremy can't be your ally. I'm doing the best I can. Game debacle with him sticking his finger in his mouth. I was trying to get out of here without that happening. Can we at least agree that's the second most egregious thing that we've had happen? The point that Juju is making that is the correct one, okay, is that if you go without looking straight from floor to mouth, what you have now done is run the risk of what's

Whatever fuzz was on that is now just in your mouth. At least if you put it in the blizzard first, perhaps you'll see there is now fuzz in a ruined blizzard and not continue eating. But if you do it now, just fuzz in your mouth without blizzard, it's not just foul because it's just fuzz without blizzard. And the blizzard is delicious. You've also got fuzz in your mouth. Chet Home Fries.

CD lamb just works. But yeah, brother, this is just Chris straightened up. I still love you no matter what. If you, you might be my dirty, disgusting brother. Juju, for those who did not see alley-oop last night, for those who have not checked in on alley-oop, what would have been the best of the analysis or what have you not said about OKC and how overwhelming OKC is? I don't even, I know, I guess people are going to blame aunt, but like I was saying, that's done to him.

That's not something that he's choking on. That's done by a defense that's going to do that to every remaining thing there is in the sport until something becomes stronger so that it can beat him. Right. I think that how y'all asked last week, will Julius Randle be a Hall of Famer? Ridiculous. I take that back 100%. I say yes, absolutely.

Absolutely not. He won't sniff the Hall of Fame. Look, I've rarely been as embarrassed as I was that our show didn't check that more aggressively. In the history of sports takes around here, the fact that it loosely got through here, Julius Randle might be a Hall of Famer, is as embarrassing a thing as has ever been tolerated around here. I actually need to issue an apology for having issued an apology. I apologized to David Sampson either last week or the week before saying that his Julius Randle basketball take was...

You know what? In the end, he might have been right. Maybe it was a basketball move with Kat. And I apologize to him for that. And I completely take it back. I apologize for the apology of the audience. Just, Juju, tell me, when I say worst takes in the history of takes, that ranks all-time top ten dumbest shit ever said around here. Can we grab that audio? Because everybody, I thought I was taking crazy pills. Everyone's like, yeah, you don't know the last three games. That definitely puts them in there. Amin was in on that. Amin.

was there on that. You were there too. You were there too. You didn't stop him. No, but I had regret. No one stopped him. I was there. No, but I was just shell-shocked. My excuse is that I'm shell-shocked and I think I even threw it to you. Mike, you said Drew was on the right side of history. You said he's trash. Yes, I'm on the right side of history, folks. Hall of Famer. Right. Tim and Terry Rozier might not have been right on both of those cases and I was wrong as hell. I texted Tim Kirchner.

I texted Tim Kirchhen, have you ever farted on a plane? Any guesses on his response? I'd say no. I'll say yes. Roy? No. Mike? Yes. Juju? Every chance he gets. He's farted. The response? Yes. Wow. Just the word yes, which was delightful. Are you going to give him a number? Hell yeah. Thunderclap me, Roy! Now TV and Roy, thunderclap me! And I just texted David Sampson, have you ever farted on a plane? We're not going to play that game again.

He said yes. He said yes. He's farted on plane. That's crazy. See, everyone farts on a plane.

Any other basketball thoughts, or can we move on to the polls, Juju? Yes, last thought from the Timberwolves. They made it exactly as far as they made it last year, and Chris Finch, he had suffered an injury during the playoffs last year, and the brother had to take over his assistant coach. I think I'm going to be the first out here to say Chris Finch will not be back as the Minnesota Timberwolves coach this year. Whoa, whoa. It doesn't matter. Hit it, Roy! Yeah.

You can't allow Ant-Man to have those lackluster performances and back him up. No, sir. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait, wait. Roy and TV, we're going to stereo thunderclap. Ready? Yeah.

Can you do it off the take, though? Can we get the timing down, right? Because I thought we were going to have a Blizzard sponsorship of Chris Cody gives takes while he's eating a Blizzard. I think that would be a good sponsorship. But can you bring together the take, Juju, that you're giving us, which is the greatest Minnesota Timberwolves team there has ever been is going to fire its coach. Like, can you give us the take? And then Mike and Chris will come together and we will have sponsorship talks.

Yep. The greatest Minnesota Timberwolves team that we have ever seen in the history of the world will fire their coach this offseason. Bet it. Woo!

Come on, DraftKings. Got to figure out a way to give us betting odds on this one. Showman. You did say that. You mentioned that. When I was navel-gazing, that's where I was headed. It was going to end with, why did we do it all so Chris Cody could be a showman? But you didn't let me get there. Update for the audience. My asshole just fell out again. Yeah, I saw that. It did look good. I'm not putting that one back in. It fell on the floor. That's gross. Polls and criticism today, Juju? Are the McCrispy strips good?

and only vote if you've actually tried the mcchrispy strips 56 of the audience says no they are not great amazing underrated right and i do understand how there are good mcdonald's and bad mcdonald's it was it was actually good context which one which one was it

This one was a bad McDonald's. That's on me, but it's also the nearest. But where was it? The one on 8th Street? No, no, no. It was on 117th. The one by Hole in the Wall. Oh, okay. Got it. Okay. By Caballero Woodlawn. Caballero. I buried a lot of abuelos there. Yeah, you did. You know what? Here's my thing. After I bury somebody, I do the whole thing. I understand people don't want to get cremated or religious beliefs there. I don't like going back. I put you in the dirt. Is that Gruden? Man.

Man, I don't like it. I don't like funerals. I don't like going back to visit. What do you do? Well, dad. I mean, come on. What are we doing? If you're going to talk to your dad in the spiritual realm, you don't have to drive to Caballero Woodlawn to do it. Right? I'm also out on funerals. Triscuit Thompson.

Do highlight packs. I haven't visited my mom's grave, my grandfather's grave, and I love my grandpa. I got Bob tattooed there. Give me a hug. I don't see the appeal. No, I'm good. I'm good. You got what tattooed there? It's Bob. It's for Sergei Bobrovsky. Oh, yeah. Ooh.

- When did you do that? - That was actually when my grandpa Bob was on his deathbed due to COVID, but it's the same tattoo that he got when he told me never to get tattoos. He loved it. But then I just changed it for Sergey Bobrovsky because I love him more. - Are you flexing right now? - No. You thought I was? That's a tough angle to flex. Like that's how you flex right there. - Josh fart. - Do highlight packages only come with dubstep?

73% of the audience says yes, they do. And last poll, there's no way you were around in 69, my man. I couldn't believe that. That escalated so quickly on Stan Van Gundy. Stan Van Gundy hit Amin with a my man, and it didn't feel right. 81% of the audience says yes, and those are your polls.

How good of an ego stroke is it when someone asks you, are you flexing when you're genuinely not? That's a top tier feeling. That was a great alley-oop right off the glass. Damn, I feel good. I haven't even been working out all that much lately. Steph Curry. Thank you. Thank you, Juju. Thank you. Todd, to you. Thank you, Ju. Mike Jacobs? The Mike Jacobs thing. That was such a crazy revelation. Are we still on?
