Against the spread is presented by DraftKings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours. Sony, go ahead. Uh me and Mike have a double against the spread with the final four this weekend, two games on Saturday. I'm gonna take the Yukon Illinois game. I'm gonna take those pesky huskies led by Dan Hurley and them boys getting points against Illinois. Illinois is a great team, but I feel like UConn is a team of destiny, a great coach, some great players, getting points. I'm gonna take the Huskies plus two and a half, Mike. That is a great game. But out of the final four matchups, your game's better. My game's better. It's Arizona versus Michigan. And according to Ken Palm, this is a matchup of the number three and number four Ken Palm teams. Not for this year. It's for all-times. This is an all-time generational match up. It should be hype as such. The thrill score, by the way, according to Ken Palm, 92.8. That is the highest ever. I can give you plenty of basketball arguments for Arizona.

Welcome in Juju Gotti. Juju , we'll start with the player of the day. Who's the player of the day? Let's go, man. Last night in the association, we had a little t-shirt giveaway. You know how it be at t-shirt time. That's the two words that'll turn the entire arena up, no matter what the scope is. So we know the children love them t-shirts, and we had a kid be such a great player, in my opinion. He kept it all the way pee. Look at my boy. He said he couldn't get the t-shirt. And look at my boy next to him. He got one. And so get what he did. You can have mine, player. He did. Come on, man. How about that? Of the same age. Like normally you see, all right, cool, the you know, older teenage kid giving it to the the you know, five year old, here's your t shirt, but Yeah, it was sweet. Uh the one kid it seems like was sitting had some good seats, the other. A little closer, right? The other kid ran back to the the the nosebleeds. Right into the darkness, all of a sudden like the the the part of court that it was there was completely dark. And that's what we need in this society. Absolutely. We should encourage that some more. Juju , last year we were all in on paradise. What an amazing show. What an amazing premise. Didn't see that twist coming. The season ending episode. What a cliffhanger. Can't wait for season two. I haven't watched the finale that aired last night, but I've watched the first seven episodes of season two, and I gotta say, the shark done jumped. You didn't like it? Oh my god. You know, with a bunch of different characters weaving in and out. Juju have Yes, sir. I saw the finale. Okay. Me and my girl stayed up at twelve on Sunday nights. Oh, so you've got you've had the the the the info for a about a day and a half now. Me and me and Amin have not seen it yet, so we're only speaking to the seventh episode. Amin. Yeah. So there have been a couple of episodes that were good episodes. Agreed. I think everything that happens outside of the community. Yeah. Has been really interesting. Watching Sterling K. Brown kind of get reunited with his wife. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert if you're not watching, please spoil alert. Spoiler already. But like all the stuff around Jane and all the stuff of like how everyone is reacting and kind of just moving along. Let's just do this, let's just do that. I'm like, this does not seem like the same kind of pacing as we had in season one. Yeah, and I just feel like there's a lot of different storylines kind of mixing into the same story where it's like, how are we gonna get these plot holes fixed up? Because with a time machine, apparently. Right, correct, exactly. Yeah, like I'm out. No, no, no, no, come on, no, don't do that, Mike. No, I'm out. I'm out. I what you you guys got me into this show and I hadn't made the jump in and now it seems like it's falling apart. Time machine. No, thank you. I'm out. It it feels like you know what it feels like? It feels like Game of Thrones, except instead of having happen over seven seasons, it's happened over two . Uh, you lost from the back. If you mentioned Game of Thrones as a comp, I am especially out. Thank you. You guys did me a service. Yeah. I appreciate it. Because it's it's quite the time commitment. I like sports, as you know. Can't get enough of it. So I'll just get I'll try to get some more. The the Shaylene Woodley character I thought we spent a little bit too much time on for the way that things happened to her at the end of the day. Why do people pull out in the apocalypse? The world has ended. Yeah, good point. There's no hospitals, there's no medicine. Right. They every time every someone's knocking someone up. I'm like, guys, I get it. We don't you know there's no rubbers around. Can't go to the pharmacy and get any. But you can pull out . Right, right. That did seem very, very strange to me. That was one of my contentions with Jane and them. Uh not Jane, well whatever Shaleen Woodley now. Because bro, what are you doing? You so tight lipped about everything. You got the Elvis House, you got everything good. And you gonna let this random brother come in here and enter you. But man, it's it's just random. So it's like I don't think that this season did the storyline from last season as justice, as good a justice as we thought it would be. As well as some of the villains in this season, man, like I had to get a trigger one in on one of them episodes because it was a villain that was on the show . Came in my life and did that exact thing. Oh, I'm so frail. I could never hurt anybody. He's the damn spoiler alert. You dig it? So yeah, man. Get better. Hopefully the next season will be better. Juju , when they showed us the picture , the photo that they took, and it's like everyone's looking at the camera and he's sitting in the front row looking back at old girl, like, come on, man, nobody does that. Yeah. Like they they couldn't even make it subtle. They're just like, oh, this is how you know he's really in love with her. Just have him stare at him. Staring back. Like glaring back. I mean, sadly though, that's how it be in real life, bruh. It'd be just like that in real life. Like I say, in my real life, I had somebody just like that ch myanged the opinion of me about over like 20, 40 people. You dig and he was lying the entire time. So it's bruh, watch paradise this. That's true. He still gotta watch it. That may be true, but except I bet you he wasn't in a photo staring at you. Like that's the character. Like staring par come on, man. Shakey taste messages later, bro. I got you. Hey, uh sounds like you might want to give us a joker of the day as well if it's not the dude from paradise. Yes, sir, man. I got a joker of the day, bruh. The women's final four is set .
