Episode 104 Transcript

(Intro music and banter)

Cody McCoy: Technically, this will come out on Halloween, so… Juice Chunkies, if you're listening on Friday, happy Halloween! If you're listening after that, Happy Thanksgiving! Happy November.

Joe Linnehan: It was 10 degrees this morning doing carpool duty, that was fun.

Chris Pelletier: I thought you had gotten promoted above carpool duty.

Joe Linnehan: No, that is my job now. That's what assistant principals do. You sit out there and wave to parents, and it's good PR.

Cody McCoy: We like good PR. Guys, welcome to the Juice Boys Show! Episode 104! The only sports podcast in the entire universe run by three brother-in-laws who are actually morons in real life. We also love each other, so… wherever you're listening, however you're listening, we appreciate it, guys.

The Massive NBA Betting Scandal

Cody McCoy: Mother effer, this story dropped 6 hours after we finished recording last week. The NBA betting scandal, maybe of all time since Tim Donaghy, the referee. A lot of things going on here. The big name is Mr. Big Shot, Chauncey Billups, was playing illegal poker games with the Mafia involved.

Joe Linnehan: With three of the five families!

Cody McCoy: But three of the five, like, the original Manhattan OG family mob. Terry Rozier was taking himself out of games to hit the under. That is highly, highly illegal. Over $100 million in career earnings. Chauncey Billups is a current coach, a Hall of Famer, Finals MVP. And then Damon Jones was selling information to bettors, which is a big no-no.

Chris Pelletier: At what level of earnings can you just buy your way out of just caring?

Joe Linnehan: I was more shocked with Chauncey Billups until I heard that amount for Terry Rozier. You make that much in a game, why are you risking it? That's just absurd.

Chris Pelletier: So essentially, they're trading on your good name. Like, "this is a legit poker game, Chauncey Billups shows up every single week." They use you to sucker guys in who are like, "holy shit, Chauncey Billups is gonna be here?" And then once these guys were there, they had x-ray machines in the table so that they could read players' cards.

Cody McCoy: Chauncey, Chauncey, Chauncey...

Joe Linnehan: I think Rozier's gonna get the death penalty, for sure. Like, he's gonna be gone from the NBA forever.

Cody McCoy: But Joe, they let him play after! This all happened last year, and then they let him play!

Joe Linnehan: Yeah, they got tipped off by Vegas that was seeing the amount of bets that are coming in right now on Terry Rozier under. Out of nowhere.

Cody McCoy: Tim Donaghy, the ref who got caught, said this is just the tip of the iceberg. Because what's gonna happen is Chauncey and Damon Jones, they're all gonna get into a room with the FBI, and they're gonna squeal to save their own ass. So everything's about to get uncovered. Adam Silver should probably be fired, right?

Joe Linnehan: Oh, dude, that's… you can't come back from that. They tipped you off on it and you let him play for two years. That's absurd.

World Series Update

Cody McCoy: Alright, guys. Let's hit on the World Series real quick. As of right now, Toronto is winning. Joe, what do we got?

Joe Linnehan: It's 3-1 Toronto in the bottom of the 7th.

Cody McCoy: So, by the time this episode comes out, someone will be going for the win! The Dodgers with that big of a payroll might blow it and not get a ring?

Joe Linnehan: I don't even know if you can consider it blowing it. The Blue Jays have a really good team, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is playing his freaking ass off. Now, Shohei Ohtani set an MLB record for reaching base 9 times in a single game. Four for four, two home runs, two doubles, and 5 walks. After the 8th inning, they were just like, "Nope, we're not pitching to you."

College Football: Brian Kelly Fired

Cody McCoy: Let's get on college football real quick. Mr. Brian Kelly has been tanked.

Chris Pelletier: Relieved of his duties. He had no reason being fired, other than being an unrepentant douchebag.

Cody McCoy: Do we know the buyout amount? $54 million!

Joe Linnehan: The same AD that hired and fired Jimbo Fisher and owed him, like, $48 million is the AD that just did this at LSU. His last two big hires as an athletic director have cost his school almost $100 million.

Chris Pelletier: He just held no accountability, and all he did was just yell and scream and act like a massive piece of shit to everyone. They were like, you're not good enough to be worth tolerating.

Cody McCoy: $54 million just to get out of my face.

Chris Pelletier: Just to leave me the f— alone.

NFL Week in Review

Joe Linnehan: Chiefs and Bills go at it again in Buffalo. Drake Maye... is he a real superstar? Or is it time to give the flowers to the Colts?

Cody McCoy: Dolphins destroy!

Joe Linnehan: Alright, I'll take Drake Maye. You gotta play who you gotta play. He is having an all-time breakout season right now. He is at 77% on deep ball passes. That is one of the highest marks of all time. If he goes over 200 yards and a 70% completion percentage this week, he will be third all-time for the most consecutive games. I think he needs to get some legit look in this MVP race.

Chris Pelletier: Boys, let's talk about Aaron Rodgers trotting out in the ugliest goddamn uniforms anyone has ever seen, giving himself the opportunity to be one of the few players to ever beat all 32 teams, and then just not show a pulse.

Joe Linnehan: God, those uniforms were disgusting.

Cody McCoy: And then let's wrap it up, guys, with the Colts. Is it time to give them their flower? Are they legit? Jonathan Taylor's ballin' it out. Daniel Jones has found a second career. What do you think of the Colts? They're 7-1.

Chris Pelletier: For all intents and purposes, the Colts look like a complete team. It's not that they are eking by; they are cohesive. Daniel Jones looks elite.

Cody McCoy: Elite?! That's a big word!

Claim to Shame: Hershey's Bars

Cody McCoy: I got one for us. It's Halloween, guys. Hershey's bars are overrated. It's like the last on the totem pole of Halloween candy. Am I wrong?

Chris Pelletier: That's fair. We always wind up with a million of those.

Cody McCoy: It's always last. It's always like, okay, I'm gonna pick around it to get to the Twix, to get to the Butterfinger, to get to Snickers, and then when I'm stuck with a bowl of Hershey's bars, I'm like, okay, I need sugar again.

Chris Pelletier: Time to do s'mores. That's the only way.

Joe Linnehan: You can melt it down for fondue.

Cody McCoy: It's a utility chocolate. Hershey's crawled so the rest of them could run.

Big Topic: The Zombie Athlete Draft

Cody McCoy: It's Halloween! What two dead people are you bringing back to be a guest host on this program? Dead athlete, any time in history. We'll go Prime State, we're not gonna have a corpse on the show.

Joe Linnehan: I am going to bring back Wilt Chamberlain. I just want to ask him, how was it playing against plumbers, besides Bill Russell? And then at the same time, I just want to be like... 20,000?!

Chris Pelletier: I'm inviting Yogi Berra. He was one of the cleverest, funniest dudes of all time. Known for his quotes, "It ain't over till it's over," and "It's deja vu all over again." My favorite, though, was, "You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours."

Cody McCoy: Oh my gosh. Alright, I'll try to beat those. Have you ever heard of Max McGee? Super Bowl I wide receiver for the Packers. He had 2 touchdowns, 7 catches, 138 yards... and he was out drinking the entire night before because he didn't think he was gonna play. He walked in at 6 AM, still drunk, told Coach Lombardi, "I'm loose," and winked at him.

Joe Linnehan: I have one question for one of the greatest linebackers of all time. I'm gonna get Dick Butkus on here and just ask, "How was your life as a child being named Dick Butkus?"

Chris Pelletier: Fellas, I'm inviting in a guy who may as well just be an honorary juice boy. He loves the drink, he loves gambling. Let's go Pete Rose.

Cody McCoy: I'm going a little more back in history... like 5 BC history. My boy Theagenes of Thasos. He was a Greek boxer with 1,400 wins, many of them fatal. And the best part? He once punched a statue of himself with so much rage that the statue fell on him and killed him.

Juicy Parlay of the Week

Joe Linnehan: How the hell are the Denver Broncos +1.5 point underdogs against the Texans? Let's take the Broncos Moneyline at +110.

Cody McCoy: Give me the Patriots -5.5 over the Falcons. Patriots are playing well, at home. I'll take five and a half.

Chris Pelletier: Let's go with number 5 Georgia -7 in the swamp at Florida, who currently does not have a head coach.

Cody McCoy: Wow, only 7? What are we missing here?

Chris Pelletier: Our 3-leg parlay! Five bucks gets you a quick $37. I would recommend you put $5 million on it.
