Do you guys go through phases where you get really into one snack for a while and then you just tell you're like eating that snack a lot and buying it a lot and then you kind of get sick of it over Span of time and then you're like onto a new snack something that you're just like munching on I am really into something right now and it is very expensive and it is very random and I can't stop eating it Okay, give more details without saying what it is. Macadamia nuts. The exact opposite.

Are they so hard to find? Like there was like a mac nut shortage. There was? Yeah. Like the price went up like crazy. They're not cheap. They're like slightly more expensive than almonds, which was my previous snack,

but they're very, you know, almonds are very filling, lots of protein. So I was like waking up in the morning, I eat some almonds, go out, get some lunch, then have some almonds after. It was like my little like palate cleanser after I eat meal. You eat like a squirrel. What's the unhealthiest nut?

Probably macadamia nuts. I've heard pistachios, I've heard of them. I think all nuts are healthy though. Have you ever had an Iranian pistachio? Okay. I've heard they're amazing. Iranian nut? Dude, the Iranian pistachio, like I don't know how much I can reveal because I don't even think that it's legal to eat

Them here. I thought I was given them by an Iranian get on and it was Incredible it's it doesn't even taste like a pistachio. It's the greatest pistachio I've ever guys ever see best in show because I feel like what a movie. I'm just all-time I was a harlan crow Christopher a movie. I'm just all timeery. It was a harlan crow Christopher Guest I'm just naming nuts pistachio nut Christopher guess what the most awkward interviews in our shows history for real awkward guest he was on the show He was on for about three minutes. It was bad

I don't think Dan got not Dan and I was like Dan did one of those claps and like when he puts two claps over his, all right, we're done here. Oh no. Christopher Guest is a comedian. Yeah, he was deadpan. I was gonna say, Guest didn't bring a lot of energy and Dan checked out on it. We just kinda, it was just two left feet.

It was essentially two left feet. Those are the days, remember when Dan was just like. Which is in Dustin's show also, right? Dan would just unplug an interview light. The clap and done with an interview? Like we haven't seen that in a while actually. Dude, those are the days. Well now we just, you know, grit our teeth through it.

We haven't had one in a while though. No, it's been pretty good there. Maybe we're due. Yeah. Bad news Jess, macadamia nuts, most unhealthy nut. I thought so. They taste like butter. They're so good.

I thought pistachio I've got on this list almonds Brazil nuts cashews hazelnuts macadamia nuts peanuts Pecans pistachios Other nuts was that a ranking like Calories and total fat look up the corn nut but, I think calories and fat are good for you. I mean, I'm just going based off the Mayo Clinic, guys. Obviously, it's a moderation game. Thanks for helping, Jeremy.

It's amazing that I haven't broken my teeth on a corn nut. You like corn nuts like that? I used to really like corn. I would eat them in class all the time. It was so loud. I've never corn nutted. The ranch? Oh, the flavored ones, yeah.

Do the ranch? Ew. I know, I understand why I understand why ill I get it I'm not actively eating corn. I haven't had a corn Sometimes you're like man. I could go for where is macadamia nuts right now to me. It's the opposite I'm like I feel like I'm eating a nice buttery piece of chocolate. I've ever had a corn nut I love it really aren't you a baseball guy. Yeah, isn't that like one of the baseball snacks sunflower seeds? Yeah, I understand. I know that's why I'm classifying it as one of those snacks.

One of. I've never seen the corn nuts. I've never seen corn nuts on a baseball field, but maybe it happens. I think it kind of plays and you don't have to spit this one out. Yeah, you're like it's crunchy gives you. Mike Ryan you have some like occasional Midwestern tendencies. Yeah, and I think corn nuts is one of them. What are my other Midwestern tendencies? Rooting for the Cleveland Browns. That's like, those are the only two. But, real city slicker type of you though, by saying no, I'm sorry, I can't go on with this.

Corn Nuts? No, well both, the Browns and the Corn Nuts. Although he might come back to the Browns, will you go back to the Corn Nuts? Look, everyone says this guy's gonna be the number one pick and the Browns are presently slotted at two. But we haven't measured his hands. I never know those hands are small.

They're kinda small. They're small. Well, they were right about can you pick it with the hands. It's a thing. So once he goes through the process, you're gonna see a whole bunch of, oh, his hands are small. I am rooting for Tommy Reese though.

I want him to be successful. I ask you this- I want the Browns defense to stop him. Did I deflect enough? I think I did. I asked you this question last week, ball fair though. Yeah.

Given how incredible he was at playing the position, so what if his hands are small? He's not catching. Why is that an issue? Fumbling. I mean, yeah, when he was at Wazoo, he f not catching, why is that an issue? Fumbling? I mean, yeah, like when he was at Wazoo, he fumbled once a game. Not fumbles lost, but like fumbled the ball.

And then I actually like watched the film on like those fumbles. All 22? And his protection was so bad at Wazoo that he would literally be at the line. He did this a lot at Miami. We didn't have like that super fast of a pacey offense. He would really just try to read the defense

to the very last second. A lot of the fumbles were just him doing that, not looking, the snap comes at him, and he picks it right up and he goes. But the small hands, it is a thing. He had a couple of high profile fumbles this season with Miami that you can maybe attribute at bigger hands. You know in the Georgia Tech game, if I recall, at the end?

Um, I don't know. I was drunk. Speaking of, my grandma just texted me, I'm still laughing at him sitting on a pool table. Holy shit. Ha! Thursday Thunder. ["Thursday Thunder"]

["Thursday Thunder"] ["Thursday Thunder"] ["Thursday Thunder"] ["Thursday Thunder"] That's right. I love that song. It's Thursday Thunder. It's a good song.

It's a great song. And it's sponsored by DraftKings. Draft it's sponsored by Draft Kings. The crown is yours. Jeremy, what do we got? Something I love about the way Juju does Thursday Thunder is that he's always picking overs and that makes it more entertaining. So, in the Rams at the Eagles, he has Dallas Goddard over three and a half receptions. Then commanders at Lions, we have Amon Ra St. Brown over six and a half receptions in that game. The Lions are going to need him.

Yeah, I like that. And then finally, and this is to me maybe the most controversial, Travis Kelsey. Over five and a half receptions. I like where Juju's head's at because there was a lot of people talking about Travis Kelsey last season and then he entered the postseason and he had an all-time postseason. So it's another opportunity for Travis Kelsey to put some of those criticisms. Let that body heal for a week as well. And you know, Patrick Mahomes is going to go to the well.
