The Sports Junkies kick off their 'Junkies Weekend Parlay' with a twist: all picks are now 'fadeable,' meaning listeners can bet against the hosts' selections. The hosts—Bickle, Drab, JP, and Mike Barr—make their picks across NBA, MLB, and NHL games, with a focus on high-stakes, low-probability parlays. JP bets on the Timberwolves to win Game 3 against the Spurs despite a blowout loss in Game 2, while Bickle backs Foster Griffin going under 4.5 strikeouts. The Phillies' recent resurgence under new management leads to a run-line bet on Philadelphia against the Rockies. Drab takes the Sixers to win Game 3 over the Knicks, and Mike Barr confidently backs the Avalanche to win Game 3, calling them a 'lock.' The group acknowledges their poor track record, with only one correct pick so far, and hopes to break their losing streak with a five-team parlay. The episode ends with playful banter about the upcoming live broadcast in Dewey Beach, where the team will celebrate their 30th anniversary, and a lighthearted exchange about Monty, a local figure at the Starbird bar.

Drab’s NBA Pick: Sixers to Win Game 3
Drab backs the Sixers to end the Knicks’ playoff streak, citing Bede’s absence and the Sixers’ improved play without him, despite Philly being slight favorites.
“If you like money, take the abs. If you don't like money, fade me. I dare everyone to fade me. Take the wild. It's a lock.”
