This week we're going to try to replicate that greatness. First leg, Michael Jalen Brunson is going to have to show up for the Knicks tonight. So I'm going over 29.5 points for my brother Jalen Brunson because they're going to need him. points for my brother Jalen Branson because they're gonna need them. Second leg, I'm going

with the assassin, the instigator, Benedict Matheran. You feel me? Over 6.5 points for him because I think that... Wow, what a thunder. Tremendous thunder. I think he's gonna be needed. He foul something last game and I think he gonna stick with it. I think he's gonna give us at least 6.5 points tonight. Last leg, Tyrese Halliburton over 9.5 assists. Wait. Oh, it wasn't a item.

No, it wasn't. It wasn't a good timing. Sometimes there's a delay. You know how that works. It wasn't timing. Sometimes there's a delay. You know how that works. Sometimes that does happen. You can't predict these. The storm's still far away. Over 9.5 assists for Tyrese Halliburton.

He's gonna be dishing and diming, dropping dimes, dropping dimes. For those of you who have not been following, Juju and friends pop up after playoff games. They've been doing a great job on his alley-oop show post game live after fun basketball games. So check them out tonight on YouTube, Saturday on YouTube. Before I go any further though, the boldest take of the week. I have not done this yet this week and forgive me for a second Juju before we get to today's topic. Play for me please the boldest take of

the week. You guys have increased the standard around here there are now expectations for this thing. Let me hear what we've got this week. The Boost Mobile boldest take is presented by Boost Mobile the newest 5G network in the country. You can call 305-486-GOTS-GOTZ. Hey, this is Paul on the mobile. First time, long time. Anybody who wants their toaster on less than a four setting doesn't actually want toast. I'll hang up and listen. Hello, this is Josh from my couch. Enchores at concerts are a waste of time. Just play the songs without going backstage. Hey, it's Dan calling on a PlaySchool phone. It's harder to clean up pancakes than it is to make them.

That's all I got. You've got the friends on D. You've got the friends on D. You've got the friends on D. When Karl Malone is coming straight ahead. And Shaq is dropping dunks on your head. Yeah, just remember what your old pal said. Yeah, you've got the friends on D. Yeah, you've got the friends on D. Hey, you got the friends on D.

Hey, this is Chris from Techy. My bold take is ketchup is for kids. I'll hang up and listen. Hey, Isaiah Conn from Las Vegas. Can we talk about the collusion among hot dog companies and hot dog buns? Hot dogs are sold in a pack of 10. Buns are sold in a pack of 8, buns are sold in a pack of eight. Forcing you to buy two packs, spending more money.

You gotta get to the bottom of this. I'll hang up the list. Hey, it's Ron on the mobile. This is my limited take, Greg Cody singing Houdini by Dua Lipa. I come and I go, tell me all the ways you need me, I'm not here for long.

Catch me or I go, who needs me?

Is it? Put it on the poll at LeBotard Show. Is elevator music the same as waiting room music? I am in the dentist right now, and I'm about to be called. I have failed. Do me a favor, Chris. Please just reach out to Tim Kirchian and David Sampson and ask them both have they ever farted on a plane. I messed up by not asking them earlier in the show. Juju, do you have any thoughts on how

disgusting Chris Cody is with everything that happened with the blizzard earlier? Bro, Hawke said it best. I know he's a showman, like hats off to my brother for being a showman. Show comes first, no business like show business. But why did you dip it in your mouth before dipping it back in the blizzard?

It's like you said, you know what? Let me get these germs out of the way first. Now it's back blizzard time. Of course I'm disgusted. I don't even use spoons that come out of the pack. So, but I love my brother. Look at this. Holy moly.

Do I go back, I don't go back into the blizzard before I did? No, the thought process was, ooh, that fell on the floor. Let me clean this off before I put it in my mouth. Hey, you know what though? In Chris's defense, if he just cleans it off the one time, he's getting the germs once, but if he sticks it back in the blizzard,

who knows how many times he's gonna have to go back to the germs over and over again. That's what I was thinking. But he got all the germs, Jeremy. Right, and Jeremy can't be your ally after that. I'm doing the best I can. He game tobacco with him sticking his finger in his mouth. I was trying to get out of here without that happening.

Can we at least agree that's the second most egregious thing that we've had happen here? This is the point that Juju is making that is the correct one, OK, is that if you go without looking straight from floor to mouth, what you have now done is run the risk of whatever fuzz was on that is now just in your mouth, at least if you put it in the blizzard first perhaps you'll see there is now fuzz in a ruined blizzard and not continue

eating but if you do it now just fuzz in your mouth without blizzard it's not just foul because it's just fuzz without blizzard and the blizzard is delicious you've also got fuzz in your mouth. Chet home fries. C.D. Lamb just works. But yeah, brother, this is Chris straightened up. I still love you. No matter what. You might do my dirty disgusting brother. Juju, for those who did not see Alley Oop last night,

for those who have not checked in on Alley Oop, what would have been the best of the analysis or what have you not said about? Okc and how overwhelming okc is I don't even I know I guess people are gonna blame aunt But like I was saying that's done to him. That's not something that he's choking on that's that's done by a defense That's gonna do that to every remaining thing there is in the sport until something becomes stronger so that it can beat him. Right, I think that how y'all asked last week, will Julius Randall be a Hall of Famer? Ridiculous.

I take that back 100%, I say yes, absolutely not. He won't sniff the Hall of Famer. Look, I've rarely been as embarrassed as I was that our show didn't check that more aggressively. Like in the history of sports takes around here, the fact that it loosely got through here, Julius Randall might be a Hall of Famer, is as embarrassing a thing as has ever been tolerated

around here. I actually need to issue an apology for having issued an apology. I apologized to David Sampson either last week or the week before, saying that his Julius Randall basketball take was, you know what, in the end he might have been right. Maybe it was a basketball move with Kat.

And I apologize to him for that. And I completely take it back. I apologize for the apology of the audience. Just, JuJu, tell me, when I say worst takes in the history of takes, that ranks all time top 10 dumbest shit ever said around here. Can we grab that audio? Because everybody, I thought I was taking crazy pills. Everyone's like the last three games that definitely put me in on that a meme was

in there too you were there too you didn't stop but I had no one's there no but I was just shell shocked my excuse is that I'm shell shocked and and I think I even threw it to you Mike you said you said he's trash yes I'm on the right side of history. You said he's trash. Yes, I'm on the right side of history, folks. Hall of Famer. Right. Him and Terry Rozier might not have been right on both of those cases, and I was wrong as hell. I texted Tim Kirkjian.

I texted Tim Kirkjian, have you ever farted on a plane? Any guesses on his response? I'd say no. I'll say yes. Roy? No. Mike? Yes. Juju? Every chance he gets Roy? No. Mike? Yes.

Juju? Every chance he gets. He's farted. Yes. The response? Yes. Wow. Just the word yes, which I was delightful.

Are you gonna give him a number? Hell yeah. Thunder clap me, Roy! Thunder clap me! It wouldn't sound like that. Now TV and Roy, thunder clap me! Thunder clap me! There it is.

And I just texted David Sampson, have you ever farted on a plane? We're not going to play that game again. He said yes. He said yes. He's farted on plane. That's crazy. See everyone farts on a plane. Any other basketball thoughts or can we move on to the polls?

Juju. Yes. Last thought from the Timberwolves, they made it exactly as far as they made it last year and Chris Finch he had suffered an injury during the playoffs last year and the brother had to take over his uh assistant coach. I think I'm gonna be the first out here to say Chris Finch will not be back as the Minnesota Timberwolves coach this year. Whoa! It doesn't matter they made it. Hit it Roy! You can't allow Ant-Man to have those lat-luster performances and back him up. No siri bob.

Whoa, wait a minute. Scold him. Wait a minute. Wait, wait. Roy and TV, we're going to stereo thunderclap. Ready? Okay. Okay.

Can you do it off the take though? Can we get the timing down, right? Because I thought we were going to have a Blizzard sponsorship of Chris Cody gives takes while he's eating a Blizzard. I think that would be a good sponsorship. But can you bring together the take, Juju, that you're giving us, which is, the greatest Minnesota Timberwolves team

there has ever been is going to fire its coach. Like, can you give us the take, and then Mike and Chris will come together, and we will have sponsorship merging. Yep, the greatest Minnesota Timberwolves team that we have ever seen in the history of the world will fire their coach this off season. Betting.

Woo! Come on DraftKings, gotta figure out a way to give us betting odds on this one. Showman. You did say that, you mentioned that. When I was navel gazing. That's where I was headed It was gonna end with why did we do it also Chris Cody could be a showman For the audience my asshole just fell out again

Back in it fell on the floor. That's gross polls and criticism today juju Are the McRisbee strips good and only vote if you've actually tried the McRisbee strips 56% of the audience says no they are not amazing underrated right and I do understand how they are good McDonald's and bad McDonald's it was actually actually good context. Which one? Which one was it? This one was a Bad McDonald's. That's on me, but it's also the nearest.

But where was it? You went on 8th Street? No, no, it was on 117th, the one by Hole in the Wall. Oh, okay. By the turn of the clock. Got it. Okay. By Caballero Woodlawn.

Caballero. I buried a lot of abuelos there. Yeah, you did. I don't, you know what? Here's my thing. After I bury somebody, I do the whole thing. I understand people don't want to get cremated or religious beliefs there. I don't like going back. what? Here's my thing, after I bury somebody, I do the whole thing, I understand people don't wanna get cremated or religious beliefs there. I don't like going back.

I put you in the dirt. Is that Gruden? Man, I don't like it. I don't like funerals. I don't like going back to visit like, what do you do? Well, dad, I mean, come on, what are we doing? You can talk to, if you're gonna talk to your dad in the spiritual realm, you don't have to drive

to Caballero Woodlawn to do it. Right? Who's the winner? I'm also out on funeral. I'm out on funeral. Triscuit Thompson. I'm telling you. Do highlight pegs. I haven't visited my mom's grave, my grandfather's grave,

and I love my grandpa. I got Bob tattooed there. I just. Give me a hug. Come here. I don't see the appeal. No, I'm good. I'm good.

You got what tattooed there? It's Bob, it's for Sergey Bobrovsky. Oh, yeah. When did you do that? That was actually when my grandpa Bob was on his deathbed due to COVID. But it's the same tattoo that he got when he told me never to get tattoos. He loved it.

But then I just changed it for Sergey Bobrovsky because I love him more. Are you flexing right now? No. You thought I just changed it for Sergey Bobrowski because I love him more. Yeah. Are you flexing right now? No, you thought I was? That's a tough angle to flex. Like that's how you flex right there. Josh fart.

Highlight packages only come with dubstep. 73% of the audience says yes they do. And last poll, there's no way you were around in 69, my man. I couldn't believe that. That escalated so quickly on Stan Van Gundy. Stan Van Gundy hit a mean with a my man and it didn't feel right. 81% of the audience says yes.

And those are your polls. Jujube. How good of an ego stroke is it when someone asks you, are you flexing when you're genuinely not? That's a top tier feeling. That was a great at a you right out the glass. Damn, I feel good. I haven't even been working out all that much lately.

Steph Curry. Thank you. Thank you, Juju. Thank you. Thank you, Juju. Mike Jacobs? The Mike Jacobs thing. That was such a crazy revelation.

Are we still on?
