Hello, Juju. How are you doing? Pretty good, man. Pretty good at the wonderful show today, man. Like today's show felt like the show that I first fell in love with watching back in the days. You feel me like magnificent job, y'all? Thank you. The old crew was here and I thought it was going to be a bad show because Mike and Amin were going to go too serious on basketball and it was going to become about mike's

obnoxiousness but juju on alley oop uh... you you have to be as someone who celebrates uh... life and celebrates things and likes to celebrate sports and basketball you have to love that basketball right now is rising to the moment after a year of people saying how do you fix basketball? Hell yeah, man for the first time in NBA history all four road teams won game one But a conference semi-finals you feel me like making for this epic television and the way they winning these games is cinema absolute cinema All the series have started it's never been so early the way they win in these games is cinema, absolute cinema.

All the series have started, it's never been so early. I mean, it's crazy. Right, also shout out to Mike for bringing up Thabo Selfalosha today, the first person in NBA history to wear Air Max 90s in his NBA career, crazy man. Dan, we had such a great show today, we didn't even mention that Steph Curry's hurt, and they missed the rest of the series.

Oh wow. Right. How do you feel Amin and Juju about Minnesota takes a million threes and misses a million threes, and Anthony Edwards, while a lot of fun, is to me slightly less fun when he's taking 43s a game, when I used to kind of love how often he was slashing to the basket. Right. It's less cute whenever I think somebody tag them in.

He's the legend slayer. And then he comes out with this dud of a game. That's not as cute as saying Lakers in five over and over. He going to have to show up, man, because the Warriors are for real. They they're not playing around. They're doing all the doing all the things especially they gonna get that game from Buddy Hill and the crew. David Draymond Green hitting full out of some threes. I think that the Timberwolves might have to look themselves in the mirror and realize this ain't them Lakers you're playing against. This is an actual squad.

To be fair, to be fair, he came out in the second half and played a lot better and he did the thing Juju that we wanted Jason Tatum to do which was he said the shots not hitting I got to get to the rim and he went to the rim again and again and again and he got fouled he got he got three point opportunities and then he took some threes and he made a couple but I thought he got himself going in the second half by being more aggressive going to the to the rim. Juju, help me with this visual please when you created in your head. When the Timberwolves are holding up that mirror

that they are looking into to show some accountability, who is the person you're imagining is doing that or is it the whole group of the Timberwolves or is it like who's doing that? I imagine Maleficent, she's holding the mirror and Nas read is looking at the mirror questioning himself over and over again. And what is he saying though? Like what, when he looks himself in the mirror? Because you're telling him, hey, Nas Reed, like Nas Reed is a bad man. I like

Nas Reed. Nas Reed, I don't think Nas Reed lacks anything, but Golden State's got an assortment of championship things at the end of a championship run and at the end of championship pride. And they've got Jimmy Butler with them, and hey Anthony Edwards, this is what it takes to get face of the league as LeBron and Steph try to fix the end here, and they gotta go up against that Ogre in Denver at some point. Who the numbers on him, possibly, possibly,

the numbers on him, his plus minus, Stugatz, they take him off the court for two minutes, and they're an okay team, plus minus, and they leave him on the court for 46 minutes and they're the best team in the history of the league. And so what ends up happening, offensively and defensively, just if they can get Jokic not to ever rest, they're clearly the best team in the league and will never lose again. Right. I think that in fairness, I want to play that game as well. Watching someone, I would like to watch Michael Malone, watch Denver Nuggets playoff games. Cinema.

That is a good one. We didn't talk about Golden State though. It's really cool, right? When a champion sort of tries to remind you the last ten years of, hey, if you want to take the league from us, it's the last parts of our career here. We'll bring Steph some days, we'll bring Jimmy others.

We've just got to get to 16 of these. Everyone's afraid of us. This is actually a pretty interesting development for playoff Jimmy. I know it's probably not what he wanted. What's that being out? It's the exact opposite. But if it's not enough help for him, he might sit out.

You got one last gig in you. Hey, yo. But yeah, he said that during the post game show, in the post game press conference, they asked him, it was like, how did you feel about today's game? And his response was that Steph Curry is very important. It's way harder to do this without Steph Curry. Hopefully he's back. That was his only response.

So yeah, get with us on Steph. He didn't play great offensively. Jimmy didn't, right? He had 20 points, right? But it was like, it was a struggle to get to 20 for him. He had a couple of time he made shots, he got the free throw line, a bunch of which he always does. But I mean, Juju, correct me if I'm wrong,

there were a bunch of times where he'd drive and he was like, nevermind, he'd throw it back out and it didn't look like he wanted to be doing this. Right, a lot of Jason Tatum style passes where like, shoot the layup, bro. Brandon Puzemsky, he does not need his jumper to be the shot that you're going to right now. So yeah I don't know maybe he need to regroup as well as long as besides Mike Conley Jr.

and the other folks. I want to give a shout out to someone on the Warriors who every time I see him play every time they turn on him he always shows up. He's always a positive and a plus minus. He's always doing the right things. And for whatever reason, Steve Kerr has to wait till an absolute emergency before he turns to him. It's Kevon Looney.

Oh my God, Raymond has five fouls, Steve Kerr tried to keep playing him with five, and then at some point someone convinced him, like put Looney in the game, and Looney got in there, and that's when all the shenanigans stopped for Minnesota. Looney, that guy's a grown ass man there. I'd like to give a shout out to somebody else on the team. Spencer.

Pat Spencer. You put him in the game, and positive things happen. So gods, that should be your favorite player on the Warriors. You know this guy with- Secret sauce. Player of the year. Spencer? Yeah.

Player of the year in lacrosse. Oh really? He's a lacrosse player. That's my guy. He perked up Oh, we all giving shout out to someone on the Warriors. I'm gonna shout out Draymond Green. He was great last night Now Billy was that the right amount of Draymond Green yesterday was a good amount of Draymond Green Juju before we were talking about How you need to have the perfect amount not too much Draymond, but you need enough Draymond Especially during the regular season things interesting

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. He was the one being peacemaker last night in situations. That was just enough Draymond last night. Get well soon too, Billy. Dang, unfortunate accident. We're not gonna talk too much about it. Thank you, Juju. Third time in show history

that someone's on a show with a neck brace. We leave the league? That's at home, yeah. Well, two of them were Bobby Patrino costumes. This is the first legitimate one. I would also like to throw into, I was like to throw into the fire and raise my hand accountability. I did not know George Springer was black either.

I thought he was. Thank you especially. This was bad look for me, I guess. No, please let's play this game. Now this, Bill Simmons played this game a long time ago, the Reggie Cleveland All-Stars. No, but that's based on name. It's not just, I mean, I saw this guy play. He was playing foreign baseball. Yes, big games, yes.

It didn't occur to me. I met him face to face and I was like, you're black. Well, maybe that would have been different if I met him face to face. I didn't have the pleasure. I would have been like, is he? Whoa, I didn't know that. You guys are doing different things though,

because Amin knows the name George Springer doesn't sound black. And what Mike Ryan is doing is feeling like he's got optics to help him and still doesn't realize it. Yeah, I guess maybe I was on my phone and he was that bad. I mean, he hits Springer dingers. That was his whole thing.

Mike, it's a little bit of a Fred Van Vliet situation with the name. Fred Van Vliet you wouldn't think. Maybe I mean when you met him in person did he have a baseball cap on? He did not. Ah see that's it there it is. I don't think it's a Van Vliet I think it's a Jason Kidd. Jason Kidd? No Fred Van Vliet sounds weird. Oh the look you're talking about the look.

Yeah the look Sorry Juju do you know who the necros are? Oh, yeah me a mean Roy and sometimes Dominique and Hawk all the time and Carl Carl's outside Oh, yeah in Carl just forgive. Is there any reason that metal arc advisor? Jamel Hill is not in their group. No, I wouldn't. Well, has she ever been in studio? What game have you played? I feel like you gotta be in studio. You know who else is sneaky?

In minute, Ty Jerome. I don't know. That's so good. That one's great. Well, that's just the Jerome. No, no, no, no, no, no, it ain't. It ain't. I'll tell you what both games is.

I'll tell you what both games is. Isaiah Hartenstein. That's a great one. That's both. You know what, that's probably all-timer, but Ty Jerome, surprising. Tyler Williams? I was like, you want to know how it went for me? I'm like, wow, I can't believe that guy's white.

And then I Googled it and I'm like, okay, well, there's a reason why you couldn't believe it. So Juju, Nasreed is holding a mirror. What's he saying? He's saying, you are better than Dante DiVincenzo. You deserve the minutes. Shay Gilders, Alexander's little cousin, be damned. I am him. I deserve to have people with my name tattooed above their butt cheeks. What's going on here with Dan Patrick and Family Feud? Has anyone gotten any updates here on our feud with Dan Patrick's Danettes and on Dan Patrick and Family Feud. Has anyone gotten any updates here on our feud

with Dan Patrick's Danettes and on Dan Patrick's, what happened with Family Feud and Dan Patrick? Right, the Chatman2405 from Twitter says, I need you to bring up how the Dan Patrick show and Rich Eisen show are competing on Celebrity Family Feud. This was supposed to be Dan versus Dan. I'm outraged. Yeah, New Orleans, that's right.

That's what happened. That's exactly what happened. We would have been there right now, guys. How about survey says? You're too friendly. You made it Dan and Dan talking to Dan with Dan. No, it was feud. It was the Danettes.

The Danettes screwed that whole thing up. Marvin Prince, it's all your fault. They didn't like Sturgatz's behavior in the back of the room. I showed up late. I mean. That's the part they didn't like. I couldn't get in. No, they said you were being louder than Dan Patrick and rude and drunk in the back in the back of the room.

Well, at least you showed up. Thank you. Yeah. Salute to Fritzy. Fritzy. Why are we saluting Fritzy. Fritzy. Why are we saluting Fritzy? Cause he didn't show up. No, but I'll go to war with Fritzy. Why are we saluting it? Apparently I did.

I like Fritzy. I'll go to war with him. It's Marvin Prince's fault, I'm telling you. He's dead necro. Remind me tomorrow to go to war with Fritzy. Yes sir, sir, yes sir. I'm gonna napalm him. Speaking of sir. So, yes, sir. I'm going to name I'm going to name Paul. Speaking of name, Paul, Adam Shepter from the top ropes this morning with the George Pickens tweet.

Uh, I didn't know that someone of his caliber can go for what? Uh, sixth round pick and a fifth round pick from two thousand twenty seven. Like I know a third round pick and a fifth round pick from I feel like he had more value than that, but salute to Jerry Jones getting it done. I'm going to assume without knowing anything that that has salary cap stuff in it, that there would be, I think all of us, I know they value draft picks so much in the NFL, but there will be no one alive who will convince me that I'm going to be able to get a third round pick in the NFL.

I'm going to assume that that's value draft picks so much in the NFL, but there will be no one alive who will convince me that that value is better than what I might be able to, that whatever's in the sixth round, the idea of it is more valuable than the talent and skill set of a George Pickens, that's asinine. Right, right, that's exactly what I was thinking. But that's math. That's not about athleticism. That's about front offices, front office.

That's about I have to pay the guys. It's about economics, about whatever it is that they're doing. Look, man, you guys think that the sports are being ruined with some of the ways they streamline this stuff? I mean, this is no joke here. Like Anthony Edwards is playing in playoff games and he's being quoted as saying, I don't like to dunk, it hurts. Like I prefer to roam the perimeter and take 13 threes and take my chances that way. You ever dunked in? It does hurt.

It does hurt, your forearm is all welted afterwards. I don't, I'm always, I don't understand how LeBron James's hands and wrists must feel doing that much? dunking All right, that's why he spends a million dollars on his body allegedly The hands though like that. Do you imagine does anyone talk about? What the hands and feet of these people look like doing this for 20 years?

No, they talk about them playing basketball. No one cares about their hands or their feet. They make hundreds of millions of dollars. I have a bone to pick with God at the moment, if we can. Here we are. God. Dangerous. It's Conclave Day. We're watching the smoke.

What's with the clouds? Wow, Billy went. It's impossible to tell if they've elected a pope or not because it's a cloudy day from the angle we have. Billy Joe Tolliver. Oh wow. Polls, please. Can we get to some polls? Update them. That is a really good one. Billy Joe Tolliver was the out. You guys are cheating. Three words. I have to go to Cain's Insight. Okay. See you, Mike. I got to eat.

Do you miss the Tyrone Hill 16 foot jumper? Oh, this is big. 62% of the audience says yes, they do. Of course. Do we need more Draymond being Draymond, but also less of Draymond being Draymond? 92% of the audience says yes. Is making passionate love and calling someone daddy two different things? 84% of the audience says it absolutely is. That was weird, right?

It was weird. Like, look, Samson, Samson's got some creepy undercurrents, but to be a germaphobe, like, listen, we had that germaphobe off with Samson and Juju, Juju won and should have won. And he won. I felt like on how eager David Samson was to join an orgy. I feel like that's that. I feel like that's where David Samson was disqualified. And it's, and it's because, Oh, everyone else is gross right up until you are.

Yeah. David Samson is a freak ball, but bull. But Stu guys had a great question in the chat lit up when he asked David Simpson, was he doing certain things for Paul Pierce? Salute to you for that question. The chat needed to know that it was fucking the truth. Daddy, if you hit number 73 off a knuckleballer, should it be diluted? Sixty four percent of the audience says no I Am saying I am alleging here publicly okay That black people embrace Barry bonds less because his record home run came off of a knuckleballer

That is no way to win a baseball game, it's cowardly throwing a baseball with your knuckles. Is knuckle balling the exclusive domain of the white man? 100% has to be. 96% of the audience says, yes it is. Does Raj seem like a good time? Roger Goodell. 76% of the audience says, no, he does not.

Damn. Juju, can you confirm? He's your friend. Exactly, Roger's a great time. He always is there to support you, and he always asks you what's happening, you feel me? Are you heard when you're in a hearing? 63% of the audience says, no, you're not.

Is Domi always gonna be a Domi? 88% of the audience says yes. In the last poll, more famous David Beckham or Michael Jordan. 78% of the audience says Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Those are your polls. Rings in the box. Can we add a poll for tomorrow? Oh.

What is that David Beckham? Oh yes. Oh. Wow. Billy Wednesday. I dyed my beard and Mike didn't notice. Really? Yeah.

Wow. Got him. As soon as that segment ended, I went there, Jesse did some dye all over my beard, it's all black, there's no silver in that. Mike didn't know, stood next to him the whole time. Wow. He's a fraud.

Those wacky necros.
