I'm hungry. Why don't you go get something to eat? Before I pass out? Yes, go get something to eat. I mean he eats every five minutes. I know. Diamonds smell like pee pee. When Dominique is hungry it is unbearable.

Go yellow diamonds. That changes my notes there. No, we've already started. It's okay Juju, it's all right. I'll bring him back at some point. We've already started here because... I'm just so resentful of Dominic and how he can eat as much as he can.

Yes, well, I wanted to discuss this for a second because he's got, and Charlie, you produce him, it's not just that he's got a crazy metabolism, just insane, it's also that he will get angry if he does not eat every three hours. He feels like after every segment, not every three hours. No, and I don't think he gets angry about much else. I think hunger is like, I mean, he's pretty stoic.

He's not like angry, he gets like very testy. Like you can just see the entire mood change, and it's, yeah, I have to bring him snacks I've brought him snacks many time for recording like if he's if it's like Pablo taking advantage of Dominique and making him do Pablo Torre finds out after he's done get up before he's gonna do his own show He needs to be brought a cookie in the metal arc, New York, Sweden a Simp its a symphony of narcissism and ego is what the show has been called today. Juju, I'm surprised you're not exhausted after last night's merriment well into the night.

The basketball purist in you, the fan in you must love in some ways that Indiana at least provides us with the greatest thing that sports gives us, which is the surprise. If it's the underdog or the surprise are the best thing. So finally the NBA gets a story here, three games in, that is the most interesting of the stories. Cause it's not even as interesting if the Pacers are up three oh. Pacers up two one gets people more interested in a series

that they might not have been interested in. Right, and I've got on these airwaves yesterday and I guarantee that the Pacers would not win no more games and now look at me, egg yolk everywhere over here, choker of the day. You're not the only one, but it's the greatest thing, right? This is so special in Indiana, because I said a couple of weeks ago

that this is the best Pacers team there's been. It's the best Pacers team of our lifetime and it was like no Reggie Miller, etc, etc. Well, this one's closer to a championship than any that has ever existed and what they're doing over the last 64 games or so is winning at a rate that is championship level. So they are shutting a lot of people up through three games. Can we get to Thursday Thunder though? Because this has been, I've hurt for Juju here. He keeps going two for three. So I'm just telling you that the Thursday Thunder

is a bundle, but bet these individually. Because if you were betting them individually, you'd be winning at about a 70% cliff. Kiss of death. Well, okay, but fine. But fine, the last the last parlay of three legs you know what he had in game one he had OKC money line it was the easy part of the parlay I called him a coward for doing it. Show did

and right right between the eyes Halliburton.. All right, let's do Thursday Thunder. Thursday Thunder is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Take it away, Juju. Yes, sir. Welcome back, welcome back. First leg of the parlay, I'm going with the reggaeton superstar himself,

TJ McConnell, for over 6.5 points. Bring it to me. Nice thunder, Roy. That was good. He got that look in his eyes. You guys had the timing right on that one. You rarely do.

And the second leg, I'm going with Halliburton, over 4.5 rebounds. Give it to me, Roy. And for the last leg, I'm going with the Lost Dabars brother. You may have seen him on the R&B video. You may have seen him trotting out for the Pacers. But Ben Shepard over 2.5 points this Friday.

Roy, give it to me. Is that the best you've heard on Shepard? Surely a lot of people are sort of mocking that he doesn't much look like an NBA player and it's just the mustache and it's just the El DeBarge in the mustache. Have you heard any other, what's the best of the commentary

the internet has given us on Shepard? I think that's the top one right there. A lot of people say he look like a plumber with the Mario Luigi references, people have Photoshop hats on him. That mustache, you can do a lot. He definitely like, he can change your oil as well, like very quickly, you know what I mean?

Neither here nor there. I believe mean, neither here nor there. I believe it's both here and there. I would. Can you tell me T.J. McConnell looks more like a Benedict than Benedict looks like a T.J. McConnell? 100 percent. His hair stays perfect. Just like who was that Marvalva back in the days had never moved. Yeah, it was weird how that happened. Made you wonder. It did make you wonder. Do, it was weird how that happened. Made you wonder.

It did make you wonder. Do you think, I meant to ask L. Duncan this and I did not in L. Yes or L. No, but the Lynx and the Liberty being this much better than everyone else, is that good or bad? I mean, it was good until last night, the Seattle Storm actually took down the links last night and gave them their first loss of the year.

And I think at the end of the game, Caleb and Brian forgot that they're playing for the commissioners' cup. So the unwritten rules where you're up by a convincing amount, but you still take that last layup at the buzzer. My sister, Erica Willard, took the layup at the buzzer. K-MAC got real mad through the ball, like, oh, this is unprofessional. But the commissioner's cup goes off a point differential.

So she might have put herself in joker of the day contention with that technical foul. Did we put ourselves in joker of the day contention with that Mark Kriegel interview? Nah, it was okay. I think the most important thing that we uncovered was Roy, as we love you brother, we love you. You know if anybody touch you, we got your back. But I don't know how we can call you a writer without writing any articles.

It's a controversial opinion, I know. I wrote an op-ed. After you were granted access into a writer's association, turns out in the vacuum, most people find that odd. We're efforting to get the committee chair. And I know what an op-ed is, but Jeremy Tashade does not know what an op-ed is. Could you please explain to him? It's a opinion piece, an editorial.

Oh, wow. So no facts. Okay, but either, neither here nor there. When Dominique is in, he usually takes control of the whole show, and he like to do a little thing at the end of each show each week, the end of show awards.

So I wanna bring that back for today. It's been a great week. Where I start off today, the best revelation award today goes to Roy likes Manfeet. Yeah. No, Roy does not like Manfeet. No, no, no, Roy does not like Manfeet at all. No, zero.

You're a big Sydney Crosby guy. I know that to be true. No, no, absolutely not. I mean, we had a show today that had a sentence that's never been uttered before. Impressive. Never been uttered. Can I get an award out, please?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Best impersonation, Charlie Kravitz's Damn, I'm not a soft. Yeah! Not a soft on the right foot. Not a soft on the right foot. Yeah, good start, good start. I'll give a writer of the day award to Roy.

Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you. Can we play where Colin was right? All right. No, no, no, no. Cutest cast member goes to Roy, thanks to L. Ducky. Aw, he's a little writer, baby. Yeah, you do the writing, baby.

Good job, bro. Top Greg goes to Chris. Thank you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Top Greg. There you go, there you go. Top Greg, right here. Top Greg, good job, yeah. Congratulations, Greg. And the go, there you go. Top Greg right there. Top Greg, good job.

Congratulations, Greg. And the most obvious position ever taken on the show goes to Jess. Thank you very much. Supporting the award. Going out on a limb there. I would like to give most likable cast member Michael Ryan Ruiz.

Yeah. No, no. I don't agree with the award. I disagree. Be like Mike. Be like Mike. Be like Mike. Absolutely not. Yeah Good good range today from you Dominique Poll questions from you, Dominic. Uh, poll questions at, at LeBotard Show, Juju. What do you like?

I thought a great revelation from last night, all of a sudden was Jamel Hill telling us she's got Cher in her phone. How did that happen? Did she just volunteer it? Cause I'd volunteer it at all times, but. But Cher in her phone, that's a shocking revelation. Is it not?

Do you guys have that from last night? Well, I guess I blew the punchline, so you don't have to play it. But the idea that Cher was in her phone, what kind of world is Jamelle Hill trafficking in as I walk through a parking garage every day after having my controversy with the ESPN? And you big time.

Big time at Dominique Foxworth. Well, and she said that Cher texted her. That she didn't even have the number. I thought she said that at her reaching out. I thought it was a friend sent her. That she didn't even have the number. That it was Cher reaching out. I thought it was a friend sent her Cher's number, which could be a prank. Like that's not really Cher. What do you mean I big time you Dominique?

So I left my computer at my hotel and so the computer was being delivered by Uber. I'm outside waiting for my computer to be delivered. I see a handsome man drive by in sunglasses and a convertible, and I say, what up Dan, you didn't even turn your neck. You shot me with the Chuck Mead-a-Dooces. Hey, it won't roll, I'm like damn, who do you think you are? I just didn't know it was you, I just thought

somebody was shouting my name. Oh, another day driving to work, someone's shouting my name. Hey, what's up? How's it going? Hey, is it a piece of, I'm an ally. Buh, buh, buh. Who's a big time writer just like me? I'm an ally, buh, buh, buh. Yep, that's what you do.

Is that kind of thing. Yep, buh, buh, buh. No, that's what I do. Buh, buh, buh, buh. That's you, Dan. I'm an, I'm an ally, buh, buh, buh. Wait, do I have the best Dan impression of the day?

I'm an ally, buh, buh, buh. Looks like we've got a league challenger for best damn impressionation. Charlie's already in the clubhouse. Best damn impressionation goes to Mike. Yeah. Yeah. Good job, Mike.

Good job. What a dunk. Good job, Mike. Big win. Yeah. The only one today. Are you excited that college football is headed towards private equity? 80% of the audience says no, they are not. Is there anything that you could be excited about

is headed towards private equity? It's so funny though. Get ready to learn. PIF. So ridiculous. Was Alexander the Great a mama's boy 90% of the audience says yes, he was highlighted that interview. You guys see that Jared Leto story. No, what happened the most obvious thing ever Okay, look it up You know really says everything Do you hate leftovers? Who said 80%? Right 80% of the audience says, no, they don't. And those are your polls.

Also rest in peace to Ananda Lewis, MTV VJ. Thank you for mentioning that. Great person. Yeah, absolutely. That was a big part of a lot of people's childhood. Yes, sir. Just on a lighter, lighter note, just real quick, in terms of the highlight of today's show,

if you had to pick just one, the echoing and eternal babying of the pity in L. Duncan's voice when Aw! when offered that Roy wrote something, Aw! that level of condescension and honesty and vulnerability seemed to be to be the honest the most honest thing that happened today But also pathetic. Hmm. Well, at least she vocalized it instead of carrying out a first segment not doing it to his face

41 years old man 41 year old writer. Oh, hey, what's up, Greg? Damn it
