To support sustainable food production, BHP is building one of the world's largest hot-ash mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced. It's happening now at BHP, a future resources company. If anyone out there can hear my voice, can we make sure the wolves don't get to the chicken before the crew in here? don't get to the chicken before the crew in here. We're excited about it. What? If the wolves out there could limit themselves to one piece of chicken per person before we get to it. This weekend?

No, I'm locked in on for Sunday. Yeah, they heard. They heard. Please tell me this is all on air. You yelling at other fellow employees calling them wolves. I mean, have you seen these people around the kitchen, the eating area? Gino, I'm talking to you.

Samson's cutting the- Gino takes the to-go box and that is very inconsistent. He does the to-go box before we get to it. That's the problem. I don't mind a to-go box, but you gotta wait till everybody eats before you go to the to-go box. It's a fan libertarian show with Zugats.

We got on air talents. Paying for everything. The show pays for everything. And Gino has, you got a hand in it bud. I'm not taking any credit away from you, but I'm just saying. He's nowhere to be found. Is he, oh, it's okay. He's already slinking away like an evil doer. With us to Go Box, there were three pieces of sushi

and seven of us. the sushi day was the worst that was that was really insult I had wasabi for lunch and ginger I found that That's such a bad piece of sushi. That's such a bad piece of sushi. It's not even sushi. It was there for like an hour. Sorry, I was here. Paying the bills, talking. That's rude. Sushi gate. I have seen Roy leave with his pockets filled with things.

He can do it though. This is what I know about Roy. This is what I know about Roy. But this is what I know about Roy. When we're doing the show, he's in here with us. He's in here, locked in. I guarantee you, he'd rather be eating. Except on Fridays when we do the club. Yeah, then he's, well, a hockey show.

Mysteriously gets up and leaves. We'll get to Juju in a moment. Can you just play the montage that Tyler put together? This was what I did. Tyler, Tyler. This is what I did, Taylor, this was what I did. Tyler, Tyler. This is what I did, Taylor. This is what I did. No, it's actually, it's Tyrese now.

We had to change his name. In the local hour, I may have overused a single word. He's just not the guy that you're fearing for six threes. These crowd shots of just sweeping fear, just waves of fear through the building. The fear in that building is something that I could feel. The fear in that building is something that I could feel on my television. The fear of that building.

Because you're surrounded by people who are fearing you. Fear. I fear you might have used that word too many times. Sorry, Dan, you tried your vest. You know what the Midwest is? Young and vestless. You missed that earlier? All right, you need to leave again. We've got a penalty, five minutes, major asshole.

Before we get to Thursday Thunder I've been a little sloppy today top five scorers better than Reggie Miller number five Well, hold on we have to play the game different because the game is Hall of Fame Not a Hall of Famer Hall of Famer not a Hall of Famer because I said Reggie Miller was not a Hall of Famer. What? Hall of Famer, not a Hall of Famer, because I said Reggie Miller was not a Hall of Famer the other day and everyone got mad at me. Reggie averaged 18.2 points per game for his career.

I have five guys, okay, who have averaged more for their career than Reggie Miller. And so I will start with Jaren Jackson Jr. and ask Amin Elhassan. Hall of Famer? Not a Hall of Famer. So far, not a Hall of Famer. So far, he's got a chance to get to ascend to that level. But right now, not a Hall of Famer.

Number four, Brandon Ingram. Not a Hall of Famer. Not a Hall of Famer. One-time All-Star. Number three, Julius Randall, Mike Ryan. I'll ask you, Hall of Famer? Absolutely not a Hall of Famer. Not a Hall of Famer. One time All-Star. Number three, Julius Randall, Mike Ryan, I'll ask you, Hall of Famer? Not a Hall of Famer. Frickin' not. Number two, Colin Sexton.

Not a Hall of Famer. And number one, Lurie Markkinen. Not a Hall of Famer. Not a single Hall of Famer in the bunch. That's what I'm saying. Julius Randall has a shot. I mean, Reggie Miller should not be in the Hall of Famer. What? Has a shot?

Julius Randall has a shot. He keeps playing this way. He keeps playing this way. Has a shot. He's got a shot? Outside shot. O.L.I. I mean, Reggie's in.

Juju, do you agree with this? The Juju post-game show, by the way, Alleyoop, when Juju gathers after games to get on YouTube with an assortment of people who are not us. One of them was me. Okay. Okay, well this last time. Thanks for watching, Dan. Yesterday was me also. I missed yesterday's episode, my apologies. Great episode yesterday. But when they say Julius Randall Hall of Famer

You're saying one to yourself. He's got a shot. Promo for the post game. Julius Randall he got a shot to be in the Hall of Fame. You know what I will say He's going to make the Hall of Fame. I'm gonna speak breath into that brother Mike you called him trash. He is trash. I maintain this Mike eyes blind squirrel right now He's a little hot you told me you read a bunch of stats that said he's not gonna be as like yeah But then he was still good in game. Yeah, that was game one 20 points the first Guys, he's a punchline. Stop it 18 seasons 5 all-star games for Reggie Miller. He is so overrated

Because Albert and said 20 of those moments. 20 of them, Stugans? It felt like that last night. He had all of them last night. Juju, did we overplay the Knicks stuff today? We were talking about one game for most of the show. Nah, we did a great job. The chat loved it.

When Gotham City burns, the whole world gathers around to warm their hands at the fire. So yeah, it was a great show. It was so many angles to talk about as well with that game last night. So definitely not enough. Unlike Dan, I watched the alley hoop last night and I thought Juju had a great point of that the Knicks should have had to do suicide sprints on the court after the game. Like when the sports center's going on afterwards, you just see them running back and forth. Yep, excuse me Malika, we got some wind sprints to run because that was embarrassing.

Bring back old school coaches who make their players run on the court after the game with their uniforms on. G2. I mean, can you tell me, I mean, what I would have to do in terms of making the Knicks play better in a couple of different situations to make last night about what the Pacers took instead of what the Knicks gave them? Like, how many moves back do I have to push

before we make it about, holy shit, Neesmith hit six threes, that never happens. It never happens, but like we talked about earlier in the show today, Dan, a lot of those were good looks because of the coverages. They were scrambling to close out too late or OG Ananovi was going on their own screen. Dropping back. Dude, the Knicks bid on every pump fake too.

Every single one. Most of those threes, it felt like in that fourth quarter, were just a hesitation, wait for a New York Knick to fly past you, and then you take a wonderful practice day. And Dan, if you remember early in the season when the Knicks were playing really well, that was one of my criticisms at the time. I said, I don't know because I don't think this defense is disciplined enough. And kudos to them.

They got through two rounds of the playoffs. But when we think about the Celtics and God knows we killed Joe Missoula for not adjusting. Having said that, they missed all those three-pointers? A lot of them were just open threes that they missed. It wasn't because the Knicks defense suffocated them. It was just because they didn't make shots. And so last night was kind of like that coming back to bite them in the ass.

Say, hey, we let our opponents shoot threes. Well, last night their opponents made them. The coming back to bite someone in the ass as a phrase. I'd like to know who was the inventor on that particular phrase. We'll get to polls in a second. Juju, anything else from today that was worth chronicling or criticizing?

Nothing besides my brother, my lovely brother. I love this brother, but Jeremy, do not wear that vest again to this show. I understand it's a great comedic bit. But see, that's what I'm saying. See, you can't be rebellious in it. I love you, bro. I'll give you a little bit of advice.

I look good to a specific group of people, and that specific group of people are hipsters and lesbians. You know what the Midwest is, bro? You're vestless. N1998. You sound... You finally did comedy. You did comedy.

Good job, Jeremy. You look like a Katie Lang album cover. Exactly right. All right, you look like a Latin, bro. You sound like Joe Mazzullo after the Celtics game. We would just, no, please throw the vest away, brother. Please. Put it on the poll, please, at LeBittard Show.

Can you be the face of rebellion while wearing a sweater vest during the summer? It's like the 98 degrees outside. Because he is, this is as close as he comes to rock and roll right now. He is just painting well outside of the colors. I guess it's also 98 degrees inside. Yeah.

Yeah. Can you give me, Juju, any WNBA updates that we need because we didn't do much of anything there today? Oh yeah, simultaneously as a magical game was happening last night, the Lynx took out the Dallas Wings, Paige Becker, she getting their feet under her right now and the team getting it together.

Also the Mercury took out the Sparks, Alyssa Thomas 19 points. She had a bone poking out of her arm and still it sounds crazy, but Google it. She had like a, some kind of contusion on her arm and stayed in the game and willed them to victory. Also the Golden State Valkyrie got their first franchise win last night.

Salute to Tiffany Hayes and all the girls over there doing a wonderful job. Great support they got over there in Golden State. Coming back to bite you in the ass, it's very difficult to trace the origins. Yes. The internet has kind of stumped. Impossible. It gained popularity in the 1970s.

Everyone points to post-World War II, but no one is really credited. No piece of art, music, or movie. There is no one thing that came back to bite anyone on the end No, no, I think I think maybe like it just like man That vote came back to bite us in the ass if it came from post on or in on At LeBittard show on the polls if you'd'd like to get involved, what do we have today as an update? Juju before we get to the polls, I have a wonderful segment on Thursday's Thursday Thunder.

Are we doing that one today? Or we well, we are doing it today, but that wasn't the order we were going to do it. But now that's the order we're going to do it. And it's Thursday Thunder and it's brought to you by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Man. Oh man. Of course, last week we went two for three again, Aaron Gordon and that damned hamstring. But this week we got some winners for you. I was,

I was tempted to go with my Indiana fever versus Atlanta dream game tonight. I think the dream will get it done for the second time in a row against the fever this week, but neither here nor there. I'm going to the Association. Anthony Edwards had a horrible game one. He only shot one shot at the rim as my brother Tony filled me in last night. It's just like, bro, we need to see you try harder. And I think tonight he will try harder and he will get over 24.5 points tonight against the thunder.

The second leg, the little cousin heard all around the world right now. Nikhil Walker Alexander. Oh, are they coming? Because I had no broadcast the other night. Did they mention they're cousins? Right. Big Cuzz right now is getting all the spotlight. Big Cuzz is the MVP. Big Cuzz got everybody in the group chat, the family group chat talking about how wonderful his speech was. I feel like Lil Cuzz is sick of it tonight. He gonna at least get himself 6.5 points tonight to show Big Cuzz who's really the man.

Nikhil Walker Alexander over 6.5 points. And the last leg, it's Thursday Thunder. So I'm keeping with that thing. I'm going with the Oklahoma City Thunder to get the job done yet again. Moneyline Oklahoma City Thunder. I the job done. Yet again, Moneyline, Oklahoma City Thunder. I think the Timberwolves, they might have bit off a little more than they can chew this time

because the Denver Nuggets was the great, perfect get ready series for this series right here. And I think the Oklahoma City Thunder will get the job done tonight and go up two zero. I think I just cornered Juju. He's so tired of going two for three on these that he just took an easy one with Thunder on the Moneyline. And he's just so tired.

He wants to change up two out of three because that is not a brave pick from you with Thunder on the Moneyline tonight. What are they, an eight point favorite? Hey, do your own list. It's a cat and a boy. He's got the sure thing in the parlay. Come on. Right, Dan your own list. The sure thing in the parlay. Right.

Come on. Chicago dog in the Oscar Meyer 500. We're going to get to the polls here. I would hope. I'm sorry. I forgot about Thursday Thunder. It's all good. Yes, sir.

Do you believe in the saying betting dollars to donuts? 64% of the audience says no, they don't subscribe to that saying. Damn it. It's pathetic, Mike. There's a reason why I'm an ascending personality. Gems like that. You're a condescending personality. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, you got my ass. This guy's good. He's back, baby. He's a, baby.

He's a writer. Did a single Knicks fan sleep well last night? 94% of the audience said no, they did not. Stu got very disappointing today, wouldn't give us the tears. Dan, there's so many people who went to sleep when they were up 17. Of course they slept well.

I don't know what to do with perspectives, Stu got. What Knicks fan just goes to sleep in the middle of the game? We got this, we course they slept well. I don't know what to do with perspectives to that. Knicks fan like just goes to sleep in the middle of the game. We are the Knicks, we take care of business. Right, we need to send a wellness call to Sam Morrell just because, like just check on the good brother. Did you even text him? No, I couldn't do that. Thank God.

No, I couldn't do that to him today. Tell him I say he's unfunny. Bigger choke, Kn's versus Reggie Miller or Nick's versus Halliburton. 60% of the audience says the bigger choke was Nick's versus Halliburton. Wow. Sad day for Reg. So, so this is the big, we're, we are punctuating the biggest choke in sports history. That's not a prisoner of the moment thing. We are now ascending what happened last night.

We are saying it's the biggest, it's not the Russians against the US Olympic hockey team. It's this. Right. And if you want an immediate reaction to that, me, Tony and Trista Crit went live last night, right after the game. We could not believe our eyes.

We were watching it together the last piece. Man, thanks, Shoutout to Lewis for keeping us all together as well last night right after the game. We could not believe our eyes. We were watching it together the last piece. Man, thanks Shots Out to Lewis for keeping us all together as well last night. Was that Shooter's Touch or Shooter's Bullshit? 61% of the audience says Shooter's Bullshit. There wasn't Shooter's Touch. Shooter's Touch. That was not Shooter's Touch.

Shooter's Touch hangs on the rim. Shooter's Touch doesn't shoot straight up into the sky. Over the shot clock. He feed it to the air, man. That's crazy. It's not Shooter's... Shooter's Walk. Shooters touch hangs on the rim shooters touch doesn't shoot straight up Anything that goes in the shooter stuff if I told Halliburton right now do that again, I will give you ten thousand shots Like that bet yeah, you're probably right. Not one time! To be fair, to be fair, you want the shot to be true and you want to have enough backspin that if you do miss it, it goes up and it goes down.

So he may not be able to hit exactly like that, but it's not luck. What? Shooters touch. Shooters touch. No, I mean, I mean, if I asked Halliburton right now to get in a gym and recreate the same height of that and Have the ball fall straight through from that height. It will never happen again

It was he will shoot he will shoot until he falls asleep on the court tired from exhaustion It's not lucky should have touched as the ghost of Jim Earthsay so floating Yeah, yeah that picture can we roll that out? Go Pacers was his last tweet. Yes, sirs. You're just saying Halliburton, do it again, right? And you're saying there's no way he'd be able to recreate that because he'd be thinking about it.

I'm saying we've spent the entire day talking about something that was pull it right out of your ass luck. Yes, and he should be mocked. He didn't step back enough. Just straight up luck. There was nothing skillful about what that ball did after it left his hand. It was really a dumb play when you think about it.

I would not say that. With his foot on that line, it's the dumbest shot he could have taken. The worst shot. Yes. That is true. We're celebrating it. Let me take a long two.

It is, it's the worst possible failure. What would LaMortez Aldridge do? To be fair, Jeremy's vest thinks it's a good shot. You know what the Midwest is? Young and vestless. Is Indiana the epicenter of the sports world right now in a way that makes you uncomfortable. Rest in peace, Jim Erce.

56% of the audience says yes, and those are your polls. I mean, guys, the drama of this game was really so unbelievable. It was basically like Vest Side Story. For the love of God. You know what the Midwest is? Young and Vest-less. Ooh.
