At Starbucks, we serve cold coffee just the way you like it. That refreshing chill of ice, that rich, smooth taste you crave. That handcrafted care every time. Your summer ritual is ready at Starbucks. I have a couple of corrections to make here before we get to Juju. The 2023 Albert Brooks HBO documentary was directed by Rob Reiner, not Judd Apatow. And then the more embarrassing correction comes in the direction of Greg Cody.

Oh. Joe Rose's 345 receiving yards in 1983 was 20th among tight ends, 20th. Top 20. So not- Big year. Did not lead the league. You not, did not lead the league, you know, football expert covered these games, did not lead the league in 1982.

Yeah, I corrected myself earlier. Right, said it was Dolphins, right? Yeah, no need to beat a dead horse. Or big dog. I also need to make a correction, it wasn't fervor. In my haste, I miss red fever. Oh, sorry Okay, so a lot of correction. I'm not just all right, but that is your VRE situation like farve. I called them Tim Womack Yes, so that's an assortment of mistakes today. Also during the Alex Palu interview

I had a very different difficult time saying in an Indy car when you say that real quick Indianapolis and an Indy car when you say that real quick In an Indy car and then you see keep them separate stuff juju is with us now I will remind people that after every NBA playoff game He will be alley-oop will be on our YouTube channel before we get to talking to juju about that and other things though, let's take care of the sponsor. ["Against the Spread"] All right, it's time for Against the Spread! It's presented by DraftKings.

DraftKings, the crown is yours. I got the doubtless stars at the Edmonton Orlers. It's the Western Conference Finals, game four and Edmonton leads two-one. There's a lot of questions in this series right now. We're paying hints, we did not play in game three, hopes to play in game four. Will there be a bounce back effort from Jake Ottinger

in game four after giving up six in game three? And will Matthias Ekholm return for the Edmonton Orlers now the Orlers covered eight of the last ten games and won each of the last eight Game fours. I think the Edmonton Orlers will win. They are a one and a half goal favorite. So go with the Orlers against Roy good analysis. Thank you. Thank you. Dang it, dang it, dang it. Greg, you said, I don't know how you feel about this, Oettinger says that McDavid's the greatest hockey player of all time.

How many championships has he won? Zero. Zero? I thought it was a low number. I wasn't sure it was zero. You know, win a championship and then you enter the all-time great conversation. Until you win a championship, you continue to be Connor McOver-Red. Okay, it's a spread. Alright, I'm gonna go to the Association tonight, Game 4. Easter Conference Finals, New York Knicks vs. the Indiana Pacers.

And as you guys know, it's a very simple math for me. The team that I bet on always loses. Always. My record is Dan Level when it comes to betting on teams. So tonight, minus two and a half for the Indiana Pacers. Tony is locking that in. Against the Fred! Juju, I believe, and I will say this without equivocation,

and without having seen the content and the entirety of your closet, that is the single greatest hat in the history of Major League Baseball, the one that you are presently wearing. Pretty good. It is great. Thank you, brother.

Salute to them pirates. Yeah, man, Dave Parker. Am I right? Right. I mean, that's- Coolest baseball player ever. There is, that is correct as well, but there is, tell me you've got a better hat

than that in your collection. Do you have a baseball, a Major League Baseball hat that you like better than that one? Not at all, they are pale in comparison, brother. It's a good one. Let's talk playoffs and NBA, because as I said, Alley Oop is a fun show, Juju is hosting it live

after every NBA playoff game, and it is a different and more fun experience than what it is a different and uh... more fun experience than what it is that we do around here every day and it is not intended to sts to be indictment of what we do every day so uh... your thoughts here on what we didn't cover today when it came to nba playoff basketball yeah man i think uh... not enough people are highlighting the importance of shit home grand last night

without said last night that they might have been in peril. I think when Chet is playing like that, nobody stands a chance at all, especially whenever you got Julius Randall getting five points. What in the hell? I sat up here last week and said, you know what? He will make the Hall of Fame. I was wrong. Get that brother out of here.

No longer. He has no heart. You have to at least put up an effort. And speaking of putting up efforts, Ant-Man, my heart and soul, what are you doing? He had 16 points in a very pivotal game last night. And then after the game, he said, oh, I didn't get up enough shots, but it wasn't because I wasn't trying. It's because that's what I was trying to do.

Get them out of here. I think they're all, they need to go home right now. The Minnesota temper was need to go home. I think it was a testament juju to okay. See's defense, the way that they were attacking and blitzing Ant man when he was coming off of, you know, getting the ball across the timeline, it was like, how can we get everybody else to score and the the thing is they got everybody else to score right like this was the perfect game they had the game from di vincenzo from nikela alexander walker from mcdaniel from naz read who even put up 11 points your boy yeah but that that's the game the game plan is though this is the thing that okc does better

than every individual superstar in the sport no one can beat that defense like you saw what yokic looked in a game seven like i understand that we don't cover defense well, but that didn't, Anthony Edwards didn't choose to be weak. That was done to him last night. Like that's why they're going to win the championship. You have to take more than 13 shots, Dan. You have to. That's fine, but he'll take 27 and then make six of them and you'll be criticizing him because he didn't make the shot. But that right there is why I object to the whole, he said after the game, I didn't struggle,

you know, I didn't shoot enough to struggle, they weren't allowing me to do this or do this. Okay, if a defense, if a team doesn't allow you to do something you want, then you struggled. That's struggling. If you're one of seven from three, you struggled, I mean. I agree with you, but I would just also say that we do a very poor job of covering defense in this sport. It's not sexy.

If we're talking about the individual performances all the time, it's very easy to blame Jokic and Anthony Edwards. We all know that both those guys are great, correct? Or do we not know that? Do we not know that, Stugantz? I don't know if Edwards is great yet I mean they're obviously great both of them are obviously great and if they don't show up in a big performance I don't think it's ever because Anthony Edwards doesn't have the confidence to show up

in a big performance I think it's because okay see will ravage everyone who's left like that's right that's how they won 68 games. And they had the fortunate advantage of going against the toughest team in the playoffs in my opinion, the Nuggets last round. If you can come up with a plan to stop Joker, Alex Caruso got that confidence and everybody got that confidence in the last series, man these Timberwolves are a piece of cake. You were saying Stugats, instead of in my ear why don't you say it out? Was that your ear or Zaslow's ear? I was saying if Alexander Walker could figure it out, how about Anthony Edwards figure it out? Okay, that tough defense. I would argue that perhaps

OKC allowed other people to figure it out. Focusing a little on Anthony Edwards more than Nikhil Alexander Walker. A little bit more. Yeah, but he figured it out. I mean, he had a big game. He big game That's all that matters Also in the pesky lane other than white guys, yeah, I would like to submit Grand Theft Alvarado Jose Alvarado from the New Orleans pelicans. He is very very did not get a PED suspension by the way It is a good one, but okay, so by the way It is a good one, but okay, so

Thank you for zigging while we're zagging here. Is there a black pesky person that isn't a lead-off hitter like Bip Roberts? His nickname was the man of steel boom steal boom torture chamber Patrick Beverly that's a good one yeah Caitlin Clark was also injured yesterday we didn't talk about that at all there the the ratings continue to be just unbelievable for for her and that sport right I know that's a tough tough blow blow to the league, the ratings and everything. She's out for a minimum of two weeks, which puts her out in some important games. Her team was surging right now doing it. I think they're merging at the right time. You did getting all the pieces together. Whatever the words are I'm looking for, they're getting it together right now.

I think it's a tough blow for that team, man. I think that it will allow the other pieces on that team, Natasha Howard, DeWanna Bronner, and all the rest of the girls to come up with a plan. Sort of like Jalen Brunson. In my opinion, the Knicks play a little better without Jalen Brunson hogging the ball for 20 seconds of the shot clock. I remember when he got hurt earlier in the season,

OG was OG, McAlbrige's was McAlbrige's. I think that offense flows a little bit better, you did, but in this situation, it's rough because Katelyn is a facilitator as well. So yeah, prayers to the fever, but the league definitely is taking a hard blow with that one. Any thoughts on the return of John Halliburton? Man, man, man, they got it right because they,

I'm happy they kept him out of New York. If he would have been allowed to go to New York, he would have been hit with trash cans, all the stuff that the brother outside got hit with, because New York fans, they attack Wind Horse. If they attack Wind Horse, then John Halliburton Jr. or Senior would have been on the menu as well. So I think they got it right. It was a Freudian suspension and keep him in the skybox because New York fans don't play that. Cody, you ever been

yelled at while leaving a game? I have. Never had anything thrown at me though. Do you guys like the idea or is it a dad joke, a mean suggestion that Tyrese Halliburton and John Halliburton should do a show together called Hallie Questionable? I like it. I like it. No, that's good. Hallie Questionable.

That's really good. A lot of people liked it. I mean, the Loser Game Show sound decides for itself whether something is a funny joke or not. I see, I see. Granddad Greg Cody making a granddad joke and saluting a granddad joke as good is not the compliment that he thinks it is. Sure it is.

It's the ultimate compliment. Poll questions, please. One of which is about dad jokes and whether or not they are intentionally and purposefully terrible. What do you have for us? Yes, sir. Our dad jokes always terrible 56% of the audience says no, they are not. Hello. Yes, what a win What a victory for myself Close too close, but still a victory big Wow. Yes. What a victory for myself. Close. Too close, but still a victory.

Big W. Big V. Yes, sir. Speaking of dads, congratulations to Northwestern for making it to the championship over the weekend. They had a tough game in the championship, but still getting to the championship is not an easy feat. You feel me? Salutes to you guys.

Thank you. Also put on the pole juju was Joe Rose a great tight end. I just want to close that loop greatest on that teeth at the time. 20th 20th in the league overall is shooters touch math. 56% of the audience says no, it's not. A bunch of non-shooters out there. A bunch of bricklayers. Hey, salute to MTV. Can a team that's up 2-0 literally be playing for their lives? Yes. 58% of the audience says, no, they cannot.

They're wrong. Oh, no. Is it very hard to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 16 times in a row? So hard. I had a typo earlier in the show. I put Panthers and it was still hard. 76 percent of the audience says, yes, it is hard.

Hey, yo. And the last poll, what are there more of Starbucks or CBS's? 80% of the audience says Starbucks's. And those are your polls. Go ahead and close us out with a little bit of that great work that made Joe Rose the 20th best tight end in the sport in 1982

when he had 343 receiving yards. Mm, that's good. Big juicy cheeseburgers or Philly chicken. Mm, That's good. Big juicy cheeseburgers of Philly chicken. That's good. Onions. Mushrooms. It's good. Excuse me can I have a side order of mmm can I get some blue cheese with it I like to dip my thick mmm in that blue cheese they have there. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Hey, oh, you want some pasta and seafood dishes with fresh fish?

Mmm. Mmm. It's good. So good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There is nothing like a thick.

Mmm. Mmm.
