You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This Friday, grab your friends. Nova Kane? I thought you'd be dead by now. Get to the theater and experience the movie audiences are calling. An adrenaline rush of a good time. It's a big screen blast. Find a badass. I know, right?

Nova Kanee Friday. Before we bring in Juju Gotti here we have one more slight reveal here and I think this is a little obvious based on an announcement we plan to make tomorrow finally for what it is that we're doing in entirety on April 13th but we've got Boppy coming out of retirement for this Domino Tournament. We've got Ricky Williams coming out of retirement for this Domino Tournament and right on the screen there this seems a little obvious what's happening here. He's Higante, he acts like an animal, he has an enormous

freaking endowment. There's a shadow in the background of someone else who will be revealed tomorrow but this Domino Tour is gonna be April 13th we're gonna have the formal announcement on where and when and how it is you can get tickets tomorrow but I'm told that Greg Cody is going to be playing dominoes in this tournament even though he does not know how to play dominoes I know I've been instructed I believe I will be sitting next to him I'm no expert dominoes player but I know I've been instructed I believe I will be sitting next to him. I'm no expert dominoes player, but I know the rules Yes, I picked up the game wait Greg knows who or Chris knows who it is No, my we're talking about my dad's playing in it as well

She's right and he doesn't know how to play dominoes. How is that possible as a kid? I used to play mahjong, which is also a tile game and so there's an affinity there, you know It's not the same at all. No, Mahjong is one of the most difficult games in the world. Four crack, three bam. I mean, even the terminology is like weird. Did you play on one of those Mahjong tables where like the dominoes just come like out of nowhere

and then like move towards you and then you like put it in a secret compartment and they disappear? Have you seen those? This was in the 30s, so. I just remember a lot of shuffling a lot of tile shuffling My mother used to play it with a bunch of older Tappers. Yeah. Yep. I think it's making a comeback right now. I think it is too. Yeah, I think it is too But I did learn how to play that so picking up

You know dominoes would be easy. Put it on the poll, at LeBittard Show, is Mah Jong making a comeback? It'd be a walk in the cemetery. Ju Ju, what do you have for us today in the interest of updating the polls and updating what it is that people thought of today's show? Today's show was wonderful, you feel me?

Twitter having a couple of malfunctions today today so we wasn't able to put all the polls up just yet but stay tuned and they'll be right there with a drop of a dime as soon as Elon gets it together. But yeah, I definitely think you guys hit it, Greg hit it on the head, LeBron has every right to be mad at Steve Rene when you say as a father heart to heart part. But at the same time, LeBron James, Jr.

is a professional basketball player. He walked across the stage and put the hat on. He shook Adam Silver's hand. That means you're susceptible for, let's say the criticism, but your game can be dissected. And if we're gonna put, make such a big deal about old Brawny for Scorsese first points make a such a big deal with look the first father duo father son duo to take the court at the same time some of those

things aren't necessarily the coverage that a regular G leaguer gets you feel me so some of the other side of that is critiquing them whenever it's not looking so good. I have some poor results. I also got a question. I wanted to pose a question for all the daughters in the building. How do you feel about the LeBron James Stephen A situation?

Oh, thanks for asking, Juju. I really appreciate that. I feel like I'm kind of with Mike on it, where I'm like, this is all just, I don't need to deal with this right now. Like some of it's just silly. I do feel a little bad for Bronnie because he didn't ask for any of this,

but I said that this morning and then everyone yelled at me because I tried to show a little bit of empathy for Bronnie. Yes, Billy. We were yelling at Ethan because he's annoying. Oh, that's fine. Understandable. It just, it would be hard to be the son of the most famous basketball player of all time.

At the same time, he's a millionaire, so that's not that hard. At least, you know, you have financial security for the rest of your life. So I don't know, I see a lot of sides of it, but I do kind of feel bad for him being stuck in the middle I I can't agree that he didn't ask for any of this I think brawny in effect asked for all of this because when he chooses to follow his father's footsteps knowing who his father is He knew exactly what he was getting into okay

He knows that if he's not a superstar instantly that there's going to be the Stephen A. Smith type comment. Yeah, you can't say he didn't know what he was getting into. But Greg, it's probably what he's best at and he's made like eight million dollars going down that road as a professional. That's a very successful career. I would also say, Greg, I think that like when you're someone who's a college basketball player, you're probably aware, especially when your dad's LeBron James, like you're aware of what it's like to be constantly talked about in the media.

But then when you're actually experiencing it and feeling the negativity of it, it probably is a lot worse than what you were expecting. I would imagine, I don't know, Chris can probably speak to this a little bit. It's hard, it's really hard. Mike Ryan says he's got some polls to update. You mentioned Elon Musk, Juju. I saw that Mike

Myers has now been playing Elon Musk on Saturday Night Live. What has Mike Myers done recently? I saw him on Inglourious Basterds and it seems like over the last seven years I haven't seen Mike Myers doing much of anything. What has he been doing? Love Guru? He hasn't been doing much of anything. Here are the polls, poll results courtesy of Instagram because X is having all sorts of issues. If someone is dabbling in beer and hookah at midnight, do you assume that they are also snacking?

Dan was onto something, 93% of our audience says yes. Here's the next poll question. Bob Love, Chicago Bulls, let's go. Greg. 68% of our audience said yes. You are packing up and ready to go and you hit the microphone while packing up and ready to go. You have proven to be one who wants to be going

for about 25 minutes. That's untrue. Liar. Do you still use the word underpants? 70% of the audience said no. Juju, do you have any polls that you would like to update or is Mike doing that for you today because of your Twitter issues? Yeah, no, I upload the polls into the Instagram feed as well So I have those as well

But like I said, so with the Elon shipping on X it was taking me a bit of a time to get it together Plus my buildings internet went out for a little while today It's a crazy day in the juju Gotti household. It's a crazy day. I'm happy to be here Yeah, and I validate that my Twitter's not working either. It'll always be Twitter to me. I'll tell you that but he's right That a song he's just petered out Mike Myers really hasn't had to do anything after Shrek, huh? Cuz like it's Shrek Shrek to Shrek 2, Shrek the 3rd, Shrek the Hulls, Shrek, Shrek-less. Shrek Forever After, Donkeys Caroling Christmas,

Tackler, Shrek's Yule Log, Shrek's Thrilling Tales, DreamWorks, Shrek Swamp Stories, Shrek 5 is coming. I mean, I think he found his niche, Ogre. He did have like a small role in Bohemian Rhapsody. Yes he did. Hell yeah. Also, over the. He did have like a small role in Bohemian Rhapsody. Yes he did. Hell yeah. Also, over the weekend I've been getting a lot of people hitting me up saying that they checked out

the TV show Paradise, and they's been telling me like, thank you for that, because it's a great show. So good. So it inspired me to give my top 10 TV shows of 2024. Ooh. That I can think of. Okay. That I can think of. All right can think of. Alright, so.

Something shocking happened back here. I think this is not the story we have a show for. Jess had no idea. Mike, if you, five minutes ago, if you were like, I'm gonna take all of your money unless you tell me right now who Shrek is, I'd be like, ugh Jim! You're just, you're lunges.

And I think we've done this before on the show. I think I found out Mike Myers was Shrek I'd be like, ugh, Jim! You're just, you're luscious. And I think we've done this before on the show. I think I found out Mike Myers was Shrek like three years ago. And my mind was blown. And then we just did it again five minutes ago because I did not retain it. She turned and she goes, wait, Mike Myers is Shrek? And me and Mike just looked at her like, that's a bad joke.

And then she was like, no, this is for real. I showed them my computer. I Googled it. You know, was going to be Shrek? John Lithgow was Lord Farquard? Yeah. What? I mean, that one, he couldn't sound more like John Lithgow.

Wait till you find out who Fiona was. Chris Farley was supposed to be Shrek. But his passing delayed the project entirely and then became a CGI picture with Mike Myers. Nice. OLI, top 10 TV shows. Bad Monkey, great show, great comedy from my brother Bill Lawrence. Vince Vine, I see you.

Another OLI, The Landman with Billy Bob Corbin. Pretty good show. Check it out if you can. Last OLI, Yellow Jackets. Those girls be trippin'. Put it on the poll, Yellow Jackets, those girls be trippin', yes or no, at Levitard Show number 10.

Number 10, Dark Matter. Apple Plus. Number nine. Different universes, Dark Matter. Apple Plus. Number 9. Different universes, different worlds. Number 9, Disclaimer from Apple Plus. Oh, I thought you were making a disclaimer. Look at Juju's hitting the Apple Plus hard. Yes, sir.

Number 8, Mr. and Mrs. Smith from Hulu. By the way, Shrek is like the mash of Gen Z. Mr. Number eight Mr. And Mrs. Smith from Hulu By the way Shrek is like the mash of Gen Z Greg, okay, just so you understand I'm still waiting for a CBS show over here. What's going on? Matt lock number seven number seven Shogun CBS had the land man and yellow jacket CBS had the land man in yellow jackets as well. There you go. You dig it.

I do dig it. Number six, Lady in the Lake. Apple TV, I see you. Number five, Fallout. Great show. Number four, The Penguin. Colin Farrell says he's not gonna do that again. He's no longer interested in doing that, at least in part because of how long it took

to do the makeup every day. That seems a terrible decision by Colin Farrell to spend hours every day in makeup. That's a Miles Garrett set and Charles Barkley, he'll be back. Number three, Presumed Innocent. That one's good. Hell yeah.

Fell apart at the end though. I'm afraid that Paradise is gonna fall apart at the end because as much as I like so far, I'm four episodes in and the way the fourth episode ended is genuinely shocking. The last 10 minutes in the fourth episode are crazy but the writing was so awkward in some of the places in episode two and three that I'm afraid

it's gonna fall apart. Have you seen it all the way through, Juju? Have you seen Paradise all the way through? Yes, sir, I did. Does it fall apart or does it stay together until the very end? It stays together in my opinion. It's eight episodes, you feel me?

The guy re-upped for season two, so I think they gotta get in the lab and get it going, but it hasn't fallen apart just yet. Like I have my notes on it, but I overall, like it's a great experience. I watched the whole season and you leave it and you're like, yeah, that was good. I was told that episode seven, which I have not seen yet,

rivals episode seven of The Bear in terms of some of the best television you will see as the dramatic tensions rise. I have not seen episode seven. Is it what is promised by the both of you who have seen the whole thing? You guys say that that's the best episode of the eight episodes? Yes, for sure, 100%.

Because one and four are really strong. Like one and... I mean, the ending of one, like I would put one in there too, but yes, like seven is just like, you don't stop, you're like, holy shit. Heh heh heh. Number two, Paradise. Like seven is just like you're you don't stop you're like holy shit Number two paradise

And number one the top TV show of 2024 that I can think of the day of the Jacko Ahead of paradise you're putting something ahead of paradise. Yes, sir. Juju, thank you. When you mentioned CBS before, were you making a distinction between CBS and Paramount? Because I'm guessing that Greg Cody has not made any leap from however it is he consumes CBS to how he would have to consume Paramount.

Right, that's right. CBS, Channel 4. That's all I know. Shout out to Ghosts. Insane. That's all I want to know. Shout out to ghosts. Insane. Shout out to channel four and just generally walking into graveyards
