I am still suffering from tell us about the life juju Gotti, please soothe me I'm sure the internet was very kind about my vulnerability and my awkwardness. Before we get to that, I'd just like to throw a celebration. Yes. Thank you to Jimmy John's. I see you, holy moly. Yeah, what a time.

The YouTube breaks, the flashbacks, oh my God, they been, chef's kiss, the whole crowd been loving it, man. I think the only question to ask you, Dan, right now, as we look at the beautiful room, look at them, oh my God, my brother Danny, I got one question for you, Dan How what's the hardest part of the life? What is the worst part of the life what is the work What an idiot

What an idiot. Do you know how hard it is to be the idiot on the day we have a giant photo of Greg and Mike nose to nose? And incidentally, Greg still wants to defend. He spent the entire break looking up why it is he shouldn't be using Eskimo anymore, and he wants to double down on it. I mean, I don't mean to insult anybody. You know, technically I want to say the indigenous people of the Inuit nation or whatever, but I didn't think-

That's not respectful. It is a mouthful. He's right. It's a mouthful. But the or whatever, it makes it more of a mouthful to make it the or whatever there. No, honestly, I reference Eskimo to support you and the Iceman nickname because Eskimos are associated with ice and the great northwest and all that stuff so that's the only reason I did that but mean no disrespect to any people.

I'm a lover not a hater. That kind of thing. That kind of thing. You can just apologize, it's okay but you want anyone who i may have a pen that all boys i'm sort of sorry alright uh... to do any other thoughts on today's show or anything from the week we have missed you for the post games the last couple of days you've done an exceptional job covering the unrivaled thank you

to all of you who uh... suggested uh... bombarded me with us being bought and paid for by John Skipper's investment in Unrivaled, it is not that Juju has loved. We just love good sport around here. No one, no one. Good follow. Good follow. Also, Kristen Graesler, Roz Gold, they've been doing a fantastic job all year covering Unrivaled League, even though David Sampson hated on their commercial.

That's another thing. David Sampson, you have a whole segment committed to you every year, every week where you get to just tell us how good nothing personal is. Let the ladies have their promo commercial. We don't have to do that to them. They've been doing a great job. Salute to the Unrivaled champions, the Rose, the Long and the Tooth, no more, Chelsea Gray, she slayed all the haters. Oh my God. And I see my sister Jessica

Ann Lehman out there. What a perfect cherry on top to the unrivaled season. What is the critique of the Sampson segment today? Anything good or bad come out of that? Brother, we need to start putting some trigger warnings on David Simpson segments because just for me, knee pants, like so you mean to tell me if I pay hundreds of dollars to go to the baseball game and my mama texts me an emergency text and then that text a fireball cracks my cranium. He's the first thing he rushes into and say, Oh, you're fault. Well, first of all, those tickets don't cost hundreds of dollars. Marlins.

Seriously. They suck. The Marlins should pay you to go to those games. That's kind of his point. Where Greg Cody would be batting clean up. Exactly. They may as well sign me looking at their lineup. If you were a practice squad though.

If you were a good hitter you'd bat first or second though. It's probably true. I heard that the best hitter's bat second now. I don't know where that wild rumors start. What else do you have for us Juju today in the way of complaints? Man the complaints one complaint has been hitting my email my text message my DMs all weekend Spoiler alerts with this show y'all we have to do a slight better job This is how you do a spoiler alert. Hey guys, I'm about to talk about White Lotus. So if you haven't watched this week's episode, fast forward 15, 15, 15, about two minutes, give a pause and then you say how brilliant

you think Buddy was in the monologue. Then you say, I saw a pee pee. Then you say all the things you wanna say. You opened a show with, now that's how it's done. Jamstone's like, whoa, me and my wife had it skewed for later. So I'm talking about, I at least got 15 to 20 people saying, bro, you gotta tell them for me, do not spoil or alert this stuff. Back in the day, we had a segment on this, Stu Gotz was asking,

when is the proper time to talk about Game of Thrones, GOT? And we landed on about Thursday, was about politically correct to talk about that Sunday's episode. You dig it? I have to get used to this because I thought we were a live show that talked about the things that had just happened.

I thought that's how we were doing this. I must be some sort of dinosaur trying to do something that reacts to whatever it is just happened That's not how we're doing it anymore. Maybe we'll play this before spoilers spoiler alert. Sorry we have to react to the sports that are live and Oftentimes that means we can't get to the scripted content that is also airing on the same day, right? So I thought Billy spoiler alert Wednesday was a good idea oftentimes that means we can't get to the scripted content that is also airing on the same day, right? So, yeah. I thought Billy's spoiler alert Wednesday was a good idea. Yeah, I think so too, at least Wednesdays. Because you know, people go on dates on Sunday nights,

people work on Sunday nights, people work early Sunday mornings. Sometimes we can't expect them to see everything we see, you know what I mean, with our blessed jobs. So just respect to the audience. They definitely had a big problem with that though. Salute to them. I will take it under advisement.

Polls, please. I will try to do better. We will see. I was defiant yesterday. We will see what- I'm looking at your eyes right now. It doesn't seem like you're gonna try that. Whose apology's worse, Stan's, Greg's, or Draymond Green's?

I will try to do better. Yeah, anybody who says I will take that under devisement doesn't give a shit. Also before the polls, we gotta put a little bit more respect on Theo Pinson's name. I heard you say they giving everybody part. Theo Pinson, national champion Theo Pinson,

went undrafted and still had a five year NBA career, Theo Pinson. That's role model levels, you feel me? We salute people with way less on their resume than that, you feel me? So salute to the big dog, Theo Pinson, I see you big brother. I didn't really get from anybody

other than the nominee of Us, a podcast that would be less listened to than Byron Scott is what it is that Chris Cody got in the mix with. I just was like, when I saw that, I was just like wow. But I wanted other nominees there, I wanted other actual nominees, because Juju's right, that's a slight of Theo Pinson,

Theo Pinson has done something that not all of us have done, but Chris Cody's reaction to us playing Theo Pinson sound was who's Theo Pinson? That was a legitimate question he was asking. The Iceman. No, not the Iceman. Let's play a sound here from Tony earlier in the show. This was like mid-sentence to I don't know if it was a breath or a witty situation. Let's play it against the slurp.

Chris Whittingham's slurp was he was just gulping a bubble of air. Oh, that's aggressive. I mean, nothing's gonna beat this. Yeah. But Tony has, you know, second place, third place in the slurp category in the last couple of weeks. Hey, yo. That's more of a spitball.

Like you're talking and like something gets caught in your throat. I need the full context of that I don't know what that is. All right. We'll see if we can find it It sounded like you're slurping saliva like you got some saliva in your mouth. It sounds like You can hear the end of it a little breath like a little air coming up We need the full context of what's going on here. This could be somebody else's noise that they're attributed to me. I don't know. No, that sounds like you. It's not. No, you have not been framed by others on the show. Hey, wouldn't be the first time. What do we got for polls today,

Juju? We only had one poll that I put up today. So I'm going to recap the polls for the last couple of days. We also had one questionable poll which you know sometimes we say stuff in our in our show but when you read it online it doesn't read as well you know what I mean that's why I'm more so like a call person. I would love a two-minute call versus a text message because I want you to hear me put the right and facets on the right syllables. So we're gonna go to the poll from Monday. If you had 10 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups every day for 10 years, would they disgust you? I was shocking to learn about Coach Elf.

Right, 66% of the audience says yes, they would disgust them. Should they do playoff golf at a putt-putt course? 82% of the audience says yes they should. Do you remember the phone number of your original home? 88% of the audience says yes they do. Wow, surprised. Do you know any phone numbers?

86% of the audience says yes they do. What's the over under on that? If I ask the audience and we came back with a median, I'm guessing under on five. I put the number on five, do you bet over under the average person knows five telephone numbers? I was gonna put it at three and a half. I feel like five is a lot nowadays.

Maybe I'm wrong. You think it's too high? I think everybody knows the immediate family. You know, the wife, the kids, the partner. If you've been grandfathered in on having to know it, maybe, but I'm guessing there's a whole generation of people who don't know any phone numbers. Why would they have to?

I put it at one and a half, 1.5, with that one being their phone number. We have some context here from Lewis, who's always trying to help Tony as an ally So let's let's see the video in the context that Tony requests They throw a pass gets bobbled that seems like it's edited that doesn't seem that that's fair Sound of the past that's the sound of the past hitting the they throw a pass gets bobbled eight times They throw a pass

gets bobbled eight times they throw a pass gets bobbled eight times wait so it actually is better for coming gets bobbled eight times cause it wasn't just a hiccup it was him like throwing the Hail Mary for Alabama State they throw a pass gets bobbled eight times

it was presented to me like hey we got him there we got he like he had a hiccup the haters framed he was indeed framed is that what the pass sounded like yeah, cuz when you throw out of your hands Exactly put some mustard on more of us That's the sound of mustard hitting you know when you squeeze it out of the bottle and you're really Does everyone have the sniffles now 82%% of the audience says yes they do. That's disconcerting.

It's disconcerting. Those are your polls. Thanks, Juju. For sure. The questionable poll I didn't read was, is the key to March Madness white guys? We don't need the need to come back either way admit it, admit it you see a back door cut from a guy from Yale you're like yeah

yeah right through I'm not there
