You're listening to DraftKings Network. Juju reminds me as he is wearing the Lamar Jackson gear that I find myself with a rooting interest that is afraid this weekend in that I do not want Lamar Jackson to fail because the Pittsburgh Stealers, maximum Pittsburgh Stealers him. And then I I have to hear another offseason of how Lamar Jackson isn't that great because the Pittsburgh Stealers can do something against Lamar Jackson that no other team in the sport can do. And then all of a sudden, Lamar Jackson is bad in the playoffs again. So Juju, where are you? And thank you for joining us. Where are you on all of this? Because we've heard a whole season of who's better, Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen, and it seems like Lamar Jackson is better, even though your guy, Josh Allen, is pretty damn great. And here we go into a payoff game where no one would be surprised if Lamar Jackson loses, and they score 13 points after having the best rushing offense anyone has ever seen.
Yeah. I mean, look, first of all, thank you for having me. Let me tilt my camera down, get a little jucier. I think if you are an American, if you are just a grown up person and you don't like Lamar Jackson, you need to get over yourself. So it's like, I definitely have no problem with my brother Lamar. Lamar is representation as far as I'm concerned. Lamar is the hood of America out there doing it. Look at him go. I don't know if you guys watch the Hard Knocks. It's like, bro, he speaks the lingo of just every street cat in America. So I have uncontrollable love for Lamar Jackson, and you know how I feel about Josh. So I think that the stats that Lamar has put up this year, phenomenal as well as Josh. But we got to take into account sometimes that it's a big, big It's a big advantage to be able to hand the ball off to Derrick Henry. You feel me? It's a big advantage to be able to throw the ball to a Probo receiver in Zate flowers, a legendary tight-end in Mark Andrews. You can rely on the defense to get you a couple of wins during the season.
Josh is devoid of all of that. So I think my brother Josh definitely may have the slight edge just because of the team aspect of it. You feel me? I think what Lamar Jackson is doing is nothing short or the offensive player of the year. But as far as the most valuable thing to a team, if you take Lamar from Baltimore, let's see what happens if you put in the backup. You feel me? But if you take Josh from Buffalo, cancel Christmas, tank it, go for the draft pitch, you feel me?
Respectfully. That is real fandom right there where Juju has to go against the guy who represents street credibility and Blackness in favor of Josh Allen.
No, we ain't going to... Damn it, it sounds crazy when you say it like that, but I guess it's true.
You're just that big of a Bills fan that you want Josh Allen to be better than Lamar Jackson, even though I'm not sure Josh Allen is better than Lamar Jackson, but also Josh Allen might be the best quarterback I've ever seen.
Got you boxed in, Juju.
Yeah, Josh Allen is not better than Lamar Jackson. No, I'll put that on wax. He's not better. I just think he's more valuable to the team, if you feel me.
I What do you have for us in the way of criticism? I feel like the show has turned a corner here over the last couple of months. It feels really good to be doing the show again. I'm sure Billy got a lot of applause today. What were the highlights on today's show?
Yes, Everybody in the chat, now the YouTube chat, salute to the whole YouTube chat, man. I can't remember everybody's name all the time. I'm not going to say one or two, but the chat was loving it. A lot of people in the comments were saying, Doc, the 2025 show hasn't missed yet. Not one show. So salute to everybody in there involved, man. It feels good, and it's a great watch. Also, Dan, don't worry about Pat Reilly being mad. Remember, you're a comedian. You were telling jokes.
I need to do that. You weren't up in arms.
You were just shooting from the hill.
That's right. He's got a good idea, man. He's right about this. If you identify as a comedian, they're the only ones with carte blanche while they're saying they're going to get canceled. It's weird times, man. How much did we ruin the show with the fire talk? Juju, I'm worried about this. I don't know how to do real-world stuff, and we're just screwing around.
Look, I want to get a peek at that Venmo Fine Box Bucket, because, sir, brother, what's his name? David Wallace-Wales, made you a table spoon of your own medicine, and you spit it out in front of everybody. You just got it on his shirt, on the screen. Brother, from the makers the creators of We're All Going to Die, damn ever tired. It's just tired of hearing about what's going on right now. A crisis that's actually happening. I've seen it all.
I'm not tired. I just wanted him to give me 10 answers to 10 questions as opposed to two answers to two questions. That's all. I wanted all of the same information, but I wanted to be a back and forth, so that's where I failed. My tone was shitty today. I own the first fine in the fine bucket, a $7. No, it's a $5 tone fine. What other observation observations and criticisms do you have today? You've had some very strong takes lately. Do you have any new super rule takes for us today?
Not any super rules just yet. Those come to me as they come. You feel me? I definitely think my brother David Sepsin was a little too harsh on the mean. He came in hot. You feel me? You don't tell somebody they look like a squirrel who's just dealing with trauma. It's just mean. I think we should ease off of each other's appearances, even though I am the creator of David Samson's glasses were a little spikey-ish. You feel me? We also didn't mention LeBron James turned back to clock last night. Holy moly. And Dunk Don't Blake lively. I'm not That would be crazy. I want to watch that.
That would be crazy. I want to watch that.
Very lively. He turned back to clock last night. Cooper Flag made a billboard last night. You feel me? Ice Trey, Frigid in Utah. Oh, my goodness. The NBA was on fire last night, and we didn't give too much attention to that because the show must go on. We got to keep the Mafia off your back right now, so I understand what's going on.
That LeBron Dunk actually made me emotional. I watched it and it gave me chills because I couldn't believe that at 40 years old, he just turned 40, that he's still doing this. That would be the best highlight on a lot of Hall of Fame players' careers, and he's doing it at 40.
Yeah, Hey, man. Beyond doing it at 40, just doing it, man. Just doing it at all. Just doing that. That's an incredible play. That was crazy. Like you said, you had Ice Trey, Trey Young hitting a half-court shot to win the game at Utah. And by the way, Zion Williamson was back last night. Juju, I know you liked that 360 he had.
Yes, sir, bro. The NBA was back in full swing last night for the true fans of it. It's still a lot of three-pointers. My Celtics played last night again, so it was a lot of Trey Bal's shot. But at the same time, man, I think they've been rejuvenated. A lot of these messaging and stuff like that, these players be online. You feel me? These players see what's going on, proof that everybody is bumping LeAngelo Bauer's song right now. So they hear all the criticism, and I feel like they're giving a little bit more effort for us right now.
I listened to yesterday's show. You guys did not bring up Jello. Jello is in Rolling Loud now. He's on the lineup in Rolling Loud, and he's not like one of the little names either. He's high up on the list. There is a bidding war happening right now for him with the record labels. This is real. This has real traction and real momentum, and we haven't mentioned it one time.
Hashtag LeVar was right. But yesterday, we had some posts. I'm going to cover a couple of posts from yesterday we didn't get to, Should this year's Super Bowl winner be forced to play the Bingoes for the trophy? 62% of the audience said yes.
It's a Stugatz. It is one of the things that makes God bless football, the award-winning thing that it is. This is a Stugatz exclusive. The Bingoes should get to play the Super Bowl winner for the Championship.
Does the drug sniffing dog at the airport always scare you? I know what I voted, but 69% of the audience said yes. You feel Nice.
Before we move on over that, I did have a question because it was brought up a little bit yesterday, and then we moved on. Can the drug sniffing dogs also sniff bombs? Because I feel like those are two types of dogs.
I've I've always been under the energy. I've always thought that they are separate. They're bomb dogs, and then they're trained for one area of expertise.
It's like going to college. You got to declare a major. These guys majored in drugs, these guys majored in bombs.
But sometimes you get a Deion Sanders dog that can catch baseballs and sniff bombs. I'm not sure.
Can you put it on the poll, Juju, at Lebitard Show? We'll update that one tomorrow at Lebitard Show. Can the bomb sniffing dog also smell for drugs? Yes or no?
Yes, sir. Also, So Dan Lanning, greatest coach in America, my ass. 82% of the Yadiian says yes.
Last thing before we get you out of here, Juju, how many complaints? I really need genuine guidance on this. The Jimmy Butler stuff is obviously very interesting to me. What's too much Jimmy Butler stuff? Have we reached the point three days of Jimmy Butler stuff is too much Jimmy Butler stuff?
Let's just say there's a lot of people coming in with information because we got to remember, some people live in Wisconsin. Some people's team is... Some people live in Nevada. They don't care about Jimmy Butler as well or as much as we do. So they've been very vocal, but we don't need to highlight necessarily hate. I just know that it's there. One thing I did want to cover before we get out of here, though, is I heard video proof and evidence that you did say Tom braided was washed on the show today.
Oh, that is so unfair. All right, Juju, I guess I have to take the L there. I thought the highlight of the show today was playing, and I always love this. It's one of my favorite things, playing for long time participants in the show, sound that they had not heard that we are introducing to them. I don't think we will get a bigger laugh today than the one we got from Amine falling down in the studio because Mickey Harrison did indeed sound like he was at a clan rally with the echoing auditorium sound of telling a whole lot of Black people to please stay white. Stay white.
White..
