When I found out my friend got a great deal on a designer dress from Winners, I started wondering, is every fabulous item I see from Winners? Like that woman over there with the Italian leather handbag, is that from Winners? Ooh, or that beautiful silk skirt. Did she pay full price? Or those suede sneakers? Or that luggage? Or that trench?

Those jeans? That jacket? Those heels? Is anyone paying full price for anything? Stop wondering, start winning. Winners find fabulous for less. All right, let's do some post game. Let's bring Juju aboard here.

Hello, Juju, how are you today? Pretty good, man. Pretty good. I thought the Celtics' loss wouldn't hit me as hard as it did, but that thing was hitting, brothers. Like whenever it was one thing to lose, like I do admit we would rather see the New York Knicks face

the Pacers and potentially the Timberwolves and the Thunder over a tatumless Boston. That'd be boring. We wouldn't get any new fans to the NBA that way. But as a Celtics fan, when they pan to the crowd and they showing Jon Stewart, Malik Yoba, Xena Warrior Princess, the cast of Party of Five, it just hit me straight in the heart.

It's like, it just hurts so bad. This series took years off of my life and I'm willing to admit that nothing hurts as worse as this series has hurt me. I mean, Juju, you just said you're doing good when I asked you and then you went on a whole deal about how you lost years of your life. And you won a title last year.

I mean, I want to give the people what they want. They don't want me to come on here being like, oh, I didn't care. Like Chris Winningham earlier. Yeah, I had the bad take, but I still feel convicted. No, I don't feel convicted. Actually, I was sad as hell. And I want to admit that in front of the world.

All right. Listen, pal, I love you, Juju, and I never want to see you sad. I'm happy you're sad about this. Thank you for telling us. I can dig it. And I definitely deserve it, man. We're rooting for Boston in the Miami show.

I deserve this. Juju, we know you're all over the WNBA. You got the jerseys hanging up there. What did you make of Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark this weekend? Yeah, man, I think the world, we gotta pump the brakes on some of our takes between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.

It's a basketball play. It's a basketball move. They called a flagrant foul. Angel got upset. I don't think we have to go to the race wars every single time Angel does anything, or Caitlyn to that matter. I think those ladies deserve way more respect

for their basketball games versus the angry mobs that come out whenever they get an opportunity to. Did you see any commentary that you didn't agree with? I mean, you know, we got people like RG3 out here. We got a lot of people trying to get in the spotlight these days. I feel like they're take artists these days. They're not really, I don't remember these people being so loud about the WNBA before Caitlin Clark came. I've been here a fan of the WNBA for years and years. And so I feel like the

people who are new to the space, they should at least wipe their feet at the door and talk about the actual game before they get into how they don't like this or what they don't like about it, you feel me? So Juju, you're talking about Dan, right? Yeah. No, I'm not talking about Dan, no. I'm talking about you, come on.

Okay, sure. Kind of sounds like it. No. Absolutely. No, I'm talking about the RG3s of the world. I'm talking about the Dave Portnoy's of the world. I'm talking about, I got a long list of people, but I'm about peace and unity. So I don't want to bring those people any light

on our broadcast, but at the same time, I just feel like we should show the women more respect than the, just the hyping up of the negativity. Like Nafisa Calle had a great weekend, got two wins this weekend with her Minnesota Lynx. A lot of good stuff happening around the league and we're focusing on that one moment like it was the biggest. Look the sky guy blew out. Newsflash, the Fever are doing great. Duana Browner crossed the third all-time leading

scorers list. She passed a Thompson, a Latina Thompson. You feel me? Like it's a lot going on more than that one moment. You feel me? J it's a lot going on more than that one moment. You feel me? Juju, what was the audience reaction today to us talking hockey for basically the first two hours of the show? Yes, luckily we have a big support group from Florida and Miami.

But yeah, the people in there who are, let's just say from Kansas and Nebraska, they didn't really give a damn as much as we did, but thank you for your listeners, your loyal listeners. All right, let's update the polls, Juju, if you have them. The polls at Levitore Show on Twitter. I think we had a bunch today, Jim. Hell yeah, I'm gonna need my brother, oh dang.

Well, I need some help with this one. Don't judge me for reading this bad. Sin vergwenza, descarado. You got it. Nailed it. Kind of nailed it. Sin vergüenza y descarado. OK, there we go.

Seventy seven percent of the audience says, see. Biznasty rap bastard stole my bit. Right. I couldn't believe that. Now come on, we can't be stealing bits across these platforms. I will see if they was worshiping some kind of throne, but they put the pictures on the actual candles, just like our great San Bocelli.

Tony, you have been robbed. I will fight to the death to defend your honor. Thank you, my brother. Do you ever see red and white striped peppermints anywhere other than in a bowl at a restaurant? Nope. Seventy five percent of the audience says no, they do not. Worst take in show history. Oh, geez.

Dan on Roy Hibbert, Whitty on the Panthers, Stu Gotts on Patrick Mahomes, or Dan on the Lions? 70% of the audience says Stu Gotts with Patrick Mahomes. Wow, thank you. Congrats. Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Should Reggie Miller be in the hall of nine seconds? Yes, got it. 90% of the audience says yes he should.

Makes sense. Guy's not a Hall of Famer. Is there always going to be a Bickerstaff coaching somewhere? 95% of the audience says yes. Detroit. Is every single Maple Leafs fan a loser? 78% of the audience says yes they are. All right. Better feeling winning game seven on the road

or winning game seven at home. 52% of the audience says on the road. Yeah, yep. Yeah, salute to the Joker. That was a tough way to go out for the quote unquote MVP. Awful. Same on you for that performance. Thank you, Juju. Hell yeah.

I think the world wants to see Minnesota versus New York in the finals because of the Cat and Julius Randall trade, Dante DiVincenzo. That'd be awesome. It's the rare trade that actually worked out for both sides. It's crazy. Like we say it all the time, but this one did.

Right. We are one series away from that happening. And we are also away from one series away from Pacers versus Thunder, which I don't think I would want to watch all of this. I like Pacers Thunder. I'm telling you, the Pacers villainry in that point, I would be really awesome to watch them go against

the best team of the NBA. That's all I'm saying. And that says a lot right there. Do you know why hockey arenas are called Barnes? 80% of the audience says no. Do you know anything about Winnipeg other than they have the Jets? 82% of the audience says no. And those are your polls.

All right, we appreciate it. We'll talk to you tomorrow, my man. Yes, sir.
