[MUSIC] >> I guess the spread is presented by Draft King Sports. Draft King, it's the crown of yours, Trista. >> Minnesota goes to Chicago and the one thing that we know that Ben Johnson's going to do is have these boys put up a ton of points. But they're also going to give a ton up as well, going up against the Minnesota Vikings who just put up 39 against the Packers. Give me the over 48 and a half, Greg. >> Well, actually, I was going to pick the exact same game, but I have a little bit of a different take if you don't mind. >> Go. Minnesota has won six straight games in Chicago. >> I even with Kyler Murray questionable, even if Carson Wentz starts, I like the Vikings a lot getting five and a half points. >> Oh, Arch Manning made himself a quite a bit of a mess this weekend after the whole Holly Row fiasco. And he clearly was a joker. He clearly was a buffoon. He clearly has some of the worst decision making that we've seen. But, Juju, does he deserve joker of the day status? Because to me, if he doesn't make the list, me and you are going to have some problems. >> Yes, yes, yes, he definitely deserves to be on the list. But, the joker of the day is so monumental, I don't know. So, yes, we're going to throw Arch into the nominations. I really want to throw the reporters from that room with Arch in a bigger conversation about that because they're supposed to be the adults. He did, and when I was 22, I was making a mistake out of the mistake. So, I blame the adults a little more. Also, James Franklin and that little jokerist Tyrae, he had with the other reporter, pretty jokerist. >> Hey, Michael, you feel me? And so, no, that's how police taught to me. How James Franklin was talking to brother, that's how police taught to me. But, there is only one joker of the day, bro. The joker of the millennium, maybe, if this award has been called the Mario crystal ball joker of the day. Now I'm changing the title, taking it down, the Miami hero. You know goods being eaten, bellhugging, my brother was enjoying his birthday in his day on birthday. He don't, how many birthday we got, if we got 100 left or 50 left, I don't know how many we got. But, damn it, that day is special. And I'll be damned if I got to listen to this shit on my day on birthday. You couldn't hit me tomorrow. You couldn't hit me yesterday. >> Gretz, you gonna hit me on my damn birthday? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not all of them years of service. My big brother gave the y'all hell knows, not the way that he got the podcast going over here putting y'all name on the podcast with God damn it. >> Wow. >> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I know, I know I've been hacked. I know Shoms in tweet that. So for that, you guys are the jokers of the millennium. >> Amen. >> I don't give a damn about you. >> Get 'em out of here. >> Yeah, do do do. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, do do do. >> Are you gonna be cryogenically frozen? >> I think I might be. Yeah, I'm thinking about it. >> It's not 100 more birthday? >> Yeah, that's not 100 more. >> A cryogenically frozen is crazy. What Sydney Swini decided to do after getting delayed on the internet? >> I'm fine with what she did. >> It's crazy. >> I'm good with it too. >> I'm not talking about the ads. >> Clear the air. >> See what she did after the fact. >> So people are upset because Sydney Swini is doing an advertisement for some random prediction marketing. >> Yeah, I'll buy that product. >> Yeah, you will. >> I will not. >> Except for you being an anti-company man if you did that. So no. >> God, you're judgment today. >> Basically naked with a bunch of sporting equipment. Kind of looking like Kyle Brant. And so people are saying that she's a reckless shill. People are giving her hard time after that. Good jeans commercial. I don't know if you guys remember that one. >> I'm aware of that one. >> Yeah, but what wrong things did they say? >> Yeah, so she basically put out a bunch of female athletes in the ESPN body issue. I don't know if you guys have seen that. She put Serena Williams's photo out there. She put, who else was it? >> Kind of like a, hey, look what they've done too. >> Yeah, look at Rob Gronkowski got naked. >> Giancarlo Stan, no one forgets that. >> Yeah, Ronda Rousey got naked. Says, does she, where are we at on Sydney Swini? I feel like there's a lot of people really upset about this. >> And to me, it's a little bit strange. Anyone, no one? >> No, I mean, it's ridiculous what Sydney Swini is doing. >> I think we're at a great place with her. >> Yeah, exactly. That's pretty much all we need to hear. So Zaz saying we're in a great place because what she's done to put women in sports who are already in such a bad spot in a worse one by bringing sexualized women toward the sports world is, it's incredibly negatively impacting. To see so many women that I knew have feeling the need to sort of post about it and be like, no, this isn't okay. This isn't what our relationship is to sports. This isn't how this should be perceived. I literally earlier that week had a conversation with a reporter who was around the opposing team on the Marlins earlier in the season who was talking to me about a really uncomfortable position that she was in the locker room and it was specifically, she was like, now I feel the need to dress differently. I feel the need to interact with the athletes differently. That stuff is happening around sports all the time. And you have Sydney Swini who has absolutely nothing to do with sports, bringing that image even more toward these games. Yeah, and just sports. >> Good job, Aditya. >> Right here. >> It's a good teammate. Step it up. >> You're all quiet. >> You're all quiet. >> Yeah, I thought you were a dearer. >> I wish you got it. Kind of good too, did you just see she get the flowers of the day? I know you've got an award for that as well. >> Yeah, I got some flowers for you as well. But at the same time, that's why I agree with Jeremy and you. And that's why it was so dangerous what Miss Linda Cohn did last week of making them accusations towards Asia. Bro, they already got enough going on over there. It's a lot of hatred she's getting already. You're gonna throw this into the fire. But not to hear nor there's, they're not really told since where she can go. But I got some flowers of the day one thousand percent. Brother and sisters, Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor. They just launched the Pivot Sports Weekly with a big old set. I'm talking about professional ESPN looking. It looks incredible and the takes are incredible. As brothers and sisters in this world, we always be like, bro, we know why we don't never go farther. It's because we still go back to them. We still go in and subscribe to the people who keep us down. Deep brothers made their own lane, made their own show and said, look, we betting on ourselves. So hey, man, if you out there want to support some independence, the Pivot salute. >> I love what Ryan Clark is doing. Anybody who is starting their own thing. Great Cody's gonna be starting his own thing soon with his sub-stacks, so great. >> We hope so. >> We hope so. >> Yeah, we hope so, 100 years. >> It's not official yet, but we're hoping to be on sub-stacks soon. >> I'm told that there's some sort. >> We owe you to you. >> We are. I'm gonna help you go and go in. >> Thank you. >> I'm gonna help you. >> That's pretty simple. >> I think what was the first written thing, it was called Cody's World? >> Cody's. >> The Cody news. >> Cody news. >> Oh, the Cody news. >> I think that's what your sub-stacks should be called. The Cody news. >> No, we're not joking. >> That's a good idea. >> That's a good news. >> You know what? I'm gonna think about that. >> Well, wasn't it what happened to random evidence of a cluttered mind? >> Yeah, that didn't feel? >> No, no, no. >> I don't know, that was the name of my blog and one of my news stories for a while. >> I don't like that one as well. >> I don't worry. Yes sir, man, I saw the best revelation. Oh look at my brother Kyle looking just like my boy. Howie But the best revelation award got to go to my big brother Greg Cody man.
