The host evaluates a Bengals vs. Steelers game, citing defensive improvements and a strong offensive potential for Cincinnati, predicting a -3.5 spread win.

The host highlights a touching moment involving Moe Cheeks saving a national anthem performer during a performance, describing it as emotionally powerful and repeatedly moving. The segment concludes with a series of absurd audience polls: 67% believe the Miami Dolphins will have a 20-point spread at some point this season, 75% say they like hugging dogs, and 84.9% would support Kevin O'Connell driving through the Amazon with a lion strap and Justin Herbert as quarterback.

[MUSIC] >> Against the spread, against the spread. >> Against the spread is presented by Japh King sports. Japh King's the crown of yours, Tony. >> I'm going over to our game, the three rivers are Boy Ross Tucker is on the call. Since the 90 bangles down, I think they fixed their defense up. >> I think 16.7% success rate, Russian ball, they help them down, they help the Texas down. And I'm going to take the Cincinnati bangles plus three and a half, excuse me, minus three and a half. >> Tony, get the shit together, these are the sponsored segments, get your shit together. >> Okay, let's redo that, I don't want to go. >> So sorry, Japh King. >> All right, here we go. At Accra Sure Stadium, at the three rivers, I'm going to take the Cincinnati bangles minus three and a half, what an offense they got. They fixed the defense up there, they're looking very good. >> [LAUGH] >> Pittsburgh City was a very bad defense, good on the other side. So Aaron Rodger is going to look bad on that side, because he looked bad last week, he's going to look bad again this week. >> Let's see if a 72 year old man can do better against the spread, against the spread. >> Ben, one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL this year, they've lost two home games. Now they're going on the road to one of the toughest places to play in the NFL Buffalo and their new stadium. Charger's offense, disjointed, big number, but Josh Allen is going to cover seven and a half points and win that game. >> Yes, the spread, the 72 year old guy did do better. >> But his mic wasn't on. >> Well, there is that, a couple of things here before we get to the polls, there is no juju today. But just when it comes to dishonest grifters and the disciples of shit staying that I speak about, how can you and good conscience say that I'm doing something inaccurate when you're reporting that I have only one black full time employee when two of them are on air here every day. Like how many kinds of dishonest are you, if you're reporting that I have one black employee here and daily on a televised product that you can see the video of, we have two most days but no juju today. >> And a mean co-hosted on Friday. >> Well, but whatever, like what, you've got to be open eyed right now about how many fraudulent people are out there giving you bad factual information at a time of misinformation. >> Before we get to the polls though, I just wanted to show people, may not remember this video of the way that Moe cheeks in a moment that was beautiful and impromptu and some people are going to associate Moe cheeks not with coaching, not with being one of the best point guards that the Philadelphia 76ers have ever had, but with this moment where he came to the rescue of a national anthem singer who was falling apart. >> At the star's light star. [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] >> That's a just don't call Steve Austin moving moment. >> Thank you at the end, chills. >> I don't, are you guys moved by that? You know something that moves me every time, I will get to the polls in a second, but I'm not kidding you, I've seen this, I'm going to say 20 times and every time I watch it, I get palpably moved because as wonderful as it is as music, it's even better as television. >> Heart singing for Led Zeppelin, stairway to heaven at the Kennedy Center. Once you see the emotion of all of that song crescendoing with some surprises that make the music so powerful that Led Zeppelin is trying not to cry and they cannot help it because they're just caught off guard by seeing how moving that is as music it's extraordinary. As television, it's even better because you can see how they're falling apart because the music is hitting them in the chest. It's something that moves me every time I see it and that's something that moves me every time I see it but Chris is right when he says in my ear during that mochi's needs to lay out once she's got her her legs back under her. >> Once she finds it, he's like still doing background. She didn't find it though, she lost it a couple times and had a heart again. >> Once she had the crowd though, Mochi's was just a little eager there to keep saying so spread Jeremy give us some updates on the polls because our one black full time employee is not here today. >> No juju, but one ju poll will the Miami dolphins have a 20 point spread at some point this season 67% of the audience says yes. >> Poll, do you like hugging dogs? 75% of the audience says yes. >> Big fat white face, big fat white face. >> Poll, would Kevin O'Connell drive through the Amazon rainforest with ball tires and a lion strap to his back to have Justin Herbert as his quarterback? 84.9% of the audience says yes and those are your polls. >> Seems low. >> Bye-bye.
