I saw some stuff, some early stuff on Juju's new Alley Oop show. We're going to debut tomorrow.
We're going to show you some of what it is that Juju's doing on the interwebs around basketball coverage. He has been, oh, Willow.
What's Willow doing? What does Willow want? Seems like she's bothering somebody. Whoa, Billy, what's happening? What are you eating that Willow wants? Food, lunch.
So I got a compoyo with like some black beans here. So anyway, excuse me for doing that.
I was distracted by Willow. Tony, I don't know what's happening with Tony there.
Tony, this is the first I'm hearing of any of this. She's bothering people in the office.
You said you never seen anybody bothered. I mean, I like Willow.
Everyone here likes Willow. I like her.
I like her at Jess's house. She's great there, by the way.
I've been to Jess's house and the dog's been great. We've been hanging out and doing things.
I'll remember this. Not in the office.
Don't worry. Juju.
Your brother was at the office last week doing nothing. Again, I didn't approve of that.
I don't know what happened there. I did not meet your brother.
I didn't see your brother. I don't know why your brother was in the office.
You probably didn't. You just thought it was Tony.
Okay. They're just the same person.
They sound exactly the same. He speaks with the same vocal patterns and level of arrogance.
It's like Ozzy and Jose Canseco, one of the great traits. The problem is my brother's like 60 pounds lighter than I am.
That's the only difference. Better looking, too.
Juju, I'm sorry to interrupt you. And as I was saying, I'm very much looking forward to watching yet more, I should say, debut of his show here because the Alley Hoop-oop show is not he's been doing it during the postseason and been doing professional basketball coverage for us for a while nice to see you sir do you have any opinions on any of the subject matter that we had today yes sir I appreciate the warm welcome you feel me alley-oop show you know I mean a little snippet show we did a little quick pilot with my sister, Trista Crick, who could be seen on It Is What It Is, and my dog, Josh Smith, Stephen A.
Smith, little nephew, who's taking the internet by storm right now. My dog's from, you know what I mean, from a couple of years right now.
So I appreciate that. And check it out tomorrow when we put it up.
And it's good to see my brother, Johnny Z, back in the studio today. You feel me? Good to see you.

The house I put in Florida up.

Yes.

Ethan Badowski, you dig me?

I also brought something for you as well for you to make sure.

That's not for me.

Oh, no.

Nope.

Oh, a Celtics 2024 World Championship.

I'm not out of toilet paper.

Oh, no.

No.

No.

Well, yeah.

I want to chime in on the comment. Y'all was talking about Cooper Flagg, and I agree with Billy.
Like, if Cooper Flagg draft dodges this year, it's a surprise. The Wizards are going to be waiting for him with open arms next year.
So no matter what you do, you can stay an extra year and play with your Achilles tendon if you want to. And like Jess said, Duke is not a walk in the ballpark.
You gotta wake up and do your job at Duke. So I agree with y'all on both sides of that.
I'd like a camera on Cooper Flagg when the draft lottery is done the second year, when he skips the first year because it was the Wizards and then the Wizards come up again the second year. It's just a camera on his own.

Shit.

And they say the same thing about Cade Cunningham when he got drafted by

the Pistons. And you see, that franchise

has been turned around slowly but surely.

And like, I think

Tony said this word earlier, those

players believe in themselves to be

that person who's going to change that

organization around. So, I

definitely feel both sides of the argument

as well as I think that that's a big component of why college basketball rivalries aren't what they used to be anymore. You feel me? Like, imagine Dalton Connect on this Tennessee team.
Like, it'll be crazy. Imagine Jason Tatum playing with Zion.
I feel like that's what we got back in the days. And the one and done scenarios, although lucrative, have robbed us of that great college basketball rivalry.
I think that's one of the many reasons why a lot of fans are turning to women's college basketball, because you have more continuity year to year and you know who the stars are. You can watch someone like Caitlin Clark or Juju Watkins play two, three, four years for the same school.
And you can watch someone like Hannah Hidalgo go from a freshman averaging, you know, 18 points a game or whatever to sophomore averaging 24 points a game. And then, you know, she's going to be back next year, hopefully with the same team.
Right. All right.
And those rules for the women, the ladies, you got to stay like three years or either be 22 years old. We might need to meet halfway somewhere with that with the men because a lot of these ladies get to develop.
And I saw a video of Haley Van Lift yesterday after winning the game, just describing her testimony. Like, man, some of her first years, although exciting and flashy, she was super duper depressed and was going through a lot of mental hurdles.
And so now that she's with TCU, it has shown her and gave her a little plateau of enlightenment. So I think that the growth of these college kids, you know what I mean, it's something to be studied for.
Like she said, staying a couple of extra years to develop yourself instead of going straight into the professionalism. But I understand it it though.
What is going on with our tournament

of sound? Was it widely rejected? Was it poo-pooed? I mean, it wasn't poo-pooed. It was just, you know what I mean? A little smell on it.
So I made my own top five list of sounds that you guys forgot. Okay.

You dig me? O-L-I,

the PlayStation 2 load screen.

Starting up. that you guys forgot.
Okay. You dig me? O-L-I, the PlayStation 2 load screen.
It's starting up in a little galaxy. O-L-I as well.
Sega. As soon as you open the Sega, turn it on.
You dig it. Number five, the Netflix opener.
Ta-dong. You feel me? I think Jessica said this one earlier.
Number four, might bring bang. Double bang.
Chef's kiss. Also, this is for the old heads.
Mortal Kombat 2, Mortal Kombat Uppercut. Toasty.
You love to hear it. You dig it.
And number two, whenever you outside and you in just a little great little night spot or a club or a day party and you hear, and juvenile back there. That's it.
That's it. You know it's about to get live.
You feel me? And the number one sound in the impossible universe that we live in is the from Price is Right, Loser Game Show. Yes.
For Shizzle. I've got it here.
There you go. It took me a minute.
I'm sorry. Joker of the Day.
Do we have a Joker of the Day today? Anyone in here? Anyone outside of here? Yes, sir. And I think my dog Johnny Z can back me up on this one, dog.
Bob Hurley, what are you doing? Take your L and walk off the screen. Crocodile galore.
No gator tears. Just crocodile tears.
What you think, Johnny Z? Yeah, well, first of all, Dan Hurley. Let's not confuse anyone

that Bobby did.

Dan Hurley. And yes,

I can't wrap my

head around the idea that the game ended

they were national champion back-to-back

and the first thing that goes through his mind

is I gotta find the Baylor players

and I gotta tell them I hope they don't

get screwed the way that we just did.

Just warn them. Warn them about what's out there.
I got to look out for those kids at Baylor. Also, earlier you said Robert De Niro was on a movie on Netflix.
It was an actual TV show. Neither here nor there, but it's called Zero Day.
And it wasn't necessarily awesome. But I understand the sentiment.
You feel me? me i feel you and let's get to the polls uh the first poll of the day was can santa be five five 67 of the audience says no he cannot dang where my brother danny bonita is though in the back doing job, as always. Where did we arrive on the cutting-off point on over-under

for how short you're willing for your Santa to be?

5'7", still too short, isn't it?

Too short.

5'10"?

It's got to be 6, man.

Tim Conway, though, in the cartoon.

It's got to be big enough to look down at the elves,

however tall they are.

Just a couple of inches.

In the last poll, did Ed Asner play bigger than 5'7"? 84% of the audience says yes he did Ed Asner dream on green so asinine an Ed Asner reference thank Thank you, Juju. Appreciate it.

Thank you, Johnny Z.

Ah, yeah. The Heat won three of those.

Celtics only two since their existence.
