Wow, this house is cute.

I do have savings, and I am responsible-ish.

Could I actually score a-

And with the last leg of this Thursday Thunder,

I'm going to the Women's League.

I'm traveling all the way to Tennessee to my sisters.

I think they are going to drag USF tomorrow.

I mean, they're going to beat the tar off of those ladies.

Salute the USF.

But I'm taking number five seed Tennessee

to win by 19.5 at least tomorrow. got to know it lock them in juju i don't know how closely you follow nascar how familiar you were with ryan blaney i'm sure much of our audience is at nascar agnostic how'd you like that interview it was good it was fun he was he was his microphone i think the nascar microphones they don't work as well as the regular people's mics something going on not sure what's going on there i think it was a wonderful segment he he was a great sport he leaned in he even answered dan's awkward question that shocked the world yesterday hats off to buddy and he does look fantastic in a hat.
Oh, we can rock a cap. What is the worst part of the life?

So bad. buddy and he does look fantastic in a hat oh you can rock a cap what is the worst part of the life so bad oh man and i'm so happy to see we got a celebrity in the building today one of the most popular celebrities andrew zaslow oh my god that's why andrew's atop that celebrity pick-em board you dig it my bad john his.
His close friends call him Andrew. Y'all call him Jonathan.
But yeah, bro. And I agree with you, bro.
White Lotus this season, absolutely nothing has happened, bro. Nothing, nothing.
Good to see you, Juju. I do need to ask, though.
When you say that USF is going to get the tar beaten off of them by those Tennessee ladies, can you also salute them while you're saying they're going to get the tar beaten off of them? Yes, sir. It's required.
It's in my contract. You have to salute them after taking a page out of the devil's book and saying they're going to get the tar beat off of them.
All right. So, yeah, you got to.
And the last piece about White Lotus, so much of nothing has happened. Like, it's beautiful scenery, wonderful scenery.

But so much of nothing has happened that you guys are like, I want to say, I would say the word, but I can't say the word.

You guys are fawning over a Sam Rockwell monologue.

It's true.

That's the most boring thing in the world.

The monologue needs to get over itself just a tad bit. Neither nor there It was very freaky Spoiler alert Someone else who doesn't seem to like foreplay Just saying I did spend the entire part of that monologue Most of it was just me thinking to myself How would I react If one of my close friends Was telling me all of that? I was envisioning me being in that situation and what I would, like, I was stunned that Walton Goggins' character allowed him, like, there wasn't a single moment in the middle of that where he goes, are you effing with me? I think he played a pitch perfect.
It's a lot to absorb. But wouldn't you say to your friend at some point, are you effing with me right now? Me, perhaps.
Yeah, I guess. It depends on the friend.
There'd have been some type of interjection on my part. He did.
He made a... I ought to ask him, are you okay, bro? You good? Something.
We talk White Lotus this, White Lotus that. Thursday, best Thursday of the year right here.
And we're talking about White Lotus for six hours and kissing. Let's focus on hoops.
How about that, Juju? Hell yeah. Because today is legally, contractually, the first day that we were allowed to talk about White Lotus because it's been the allotment of days.
But speaking of hoops, I saw that you guys had a segment, the end of the segment discussing the Boston Celtics trade. I mean, the sale of the Boston Celtics.
And I heard my brother Andrews Aslow talking about how. They're relocating.
Yeah, they need to relocate. And I just want to just, you know, just put some accoutrement in the air just to remind my brother that the Heat still have a ways to go before they even matter.
You know what I mean?

Some would say that that Jimmy Butler trade rivals the Nico Harrison trade.

And if they said that, they'd be wrong.

Okay, but we do need to acknowledge, Juju, the Heat can't do anything about them not

being born while the Celtics were winning all those titles.

Because since the Miami Heat have existed, they've won more titles than the Boston Celtics.

That's the only way we can measure those two franchises. The Heat can't do anything about not being alive in the 60s and 70s.
The Heat have won more titles than the Celtics since 1988. Speaking of being born and alive during the 70s and 60s, happy birthday, Pat Riley.
I don't know if we got to that today, but happy birthday to the big dog happy birthday to him i don't care good luck some would say that this might should be the last uh birthday that he occupies this position because the heat are definitely not in the right place i don't i don't put uh too much stock into the draft positioning and all of that because you only get one Cooper flag per draft. You only get one Victor Wimbiyama that you missed out to go to the play in the championship.
So yeah, get well soon. Tony was right.
They went through finals. Yep.
Congratulations. Yep.
What did it cost you? Everything. But back to tony though speaking of the the season of basketball i got my top five march madness moments in the history of middle earth oh let's do this yes sir oh well i because it was the big east championship kimball walker crosses up uh buddy from pittsburgh fade away away.
That was electric. That's what got my brother into basketball.
He became, briefly, a Charlotte Bobcats fan because Kemba Walker was there because the first tournament he ever watched included that shot going into the tournament. It got your brother into basketball.
It did. Fun fact.
You're welcome for that information. People care.
People care about me in disguise, all right? That was not nice, I feel. No one's nice to me.
That was not nice by Chris. That was really mean.
Very condescending. A little? Why are they being mean to you today? Today? I mean, listen, I'm here today.
This is what I'm noticing. It's constant.
But he does have the golden vocal cords. You know what I mean? He's blessed up with some bangers.
Salute to Jeremy Taché in the singing voice. Love you, dude.
Number five, Chris Webber's timeout. Yeah, man.
Fab five against North Carolina. That timeout heard around the world.
It ended one of the most epic runs in the history of basketball. I love, by the way, I loved Michigan growing up.
I was way into the Fab Five when they won the national title in 88, Glenn Rice. So from that point on, I was a Michigan kid.
And then we get to the early 90s there, and you got what I was heartbroken when Weber called that timeout Jeremy how was your brother how'd your brother handle that he was just absolutely crushed number four Jimmy Valvano's NC State slays Houston at the buzzer for the national title and he runs around around the court. Oh, my God.
I see that every day almost. But what a moment for the world.
He's looking for somebody to hug. Run around that court.
Can't find anybody to hug. Right.
Luscious locks, too. Just flowing in the wind.
Just flowing. Number three, Christian Leighton there from Grant Hill.
Touchdown, Duke. What a moment.
Unless you hate Duke, I'm sorry, Taylor Vipolis, but that was a great moment. Yeah, my brother really hated that one.
Number two, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese. The Tony Yayo heard around the world.
That will go down as one of the biggest moments in women's sports history.

It sparked a new age of WNBA basketball.

Now on arrival, hatred is like, oh, my God.

Salute to all the sisters around the world who made their rivals last.

You dig it.

And number one, you can't you can't deny this.

Chris Jenkins, buzzer beater versus north carolina that was crazy because that was that the marcus page shot before the chris jenkins shot that's why that is like maybe the greatest ending any of us will ever witness because it had two of the greatest shots ever and we don't even remember the first one that was Villanova right right yeah that's the Villanova game I mean Jay Wright's non-reaction it's unbelievable you gotta act like you've been there before Zas I mean no emotion what's just all right handshake line that's the right reaction person Jeremy and put that against Jeremy's reactions to like a regular season game. Game winner.
I care.

Okay.

Don't knock my passion.

Jeremy was scraping Cheeto juice off his thumbs.

Neither here nor there.

Juju, we got any polls today?

Hell yeah.

Dan went crazy on the polls.

I think he was trying to make up for the polls yesterday

about only having one.

So I'm going to go through them.

Do you know why anyone was putting feathers

in their cap 86 of the audience says no they do not will you always stop on someone falling on a treadmill 92 of the audience says yes they will big big number for dan huge win for dan right Oh man

Huge loss for Dan

Coming up

What is a penguin

More of

A fish

Or a bird? Unbelievable. 83% of the audience says a bird.
It literally has feathers. Come on, Dan.
It has wings. It has a beak.
It's a bird. I mean, who are the 17%? It's dance burners.
What annoys you more? No turn signal or someone who forgot to turn their turn signal off? This is big. 76% of the audience says no turn signal.
I'm in the minority there. It is really annoying when someone's just like, their blinker's been on for four miles.
Yeah, because driving to Miami, my expectation is you're never going to turn on your turn signal.

Now you're messing with me.

If you have it on and I'm making room for you, now I'm stuck in the in-between here.

I'm overthinking this one.

Hell yeah.

Do you think a NASCAR wedding is more debaucherous than a regular wedding?

Someone maybe had to Google how to spell debaucherous, but not either here nor 87 of the audience says yes it is more debaucherous yeah i could see that oof big poll coming up is sunday the end of last week or the beginning of this week wow this one shook the world 69 of the audience says the end of last week.

Jeremy,

what do you think about that number?

Nice.

The best sports Thursday sponsored by Jeremy fist pump,

not sponsored by Jeremy fist pump.

The best sports Thursday sponsored by Evan Williams bourbon. Go get you a taste.
Thanksgiving, NFL opening night, the Masters first round, or the start of March Madness? Come on, Masters. 52% of the audience says the start of March Madness.
Today. So we made it.
We are here. Heard that, Jeremy.
Go get you a taste. That poll was brought to you by Evan Williams Bourbon.
Game day's number one pour. Evan Williams, Kentucky.
Straight bourbon whiskey. Bardstown, Kentucky.
43 to 45% alcohol by volume. Enjoy responsibly.
21 plus. Delicious.
Do you know what highlight is? 70% of the audience says yes, they do. Salute to Manu always.
This is our audience. I'm worried about the 30%.
What is wrong? We communicate for a living. We're doing something wrong with like three out of 10 people don't know what highlight is.
Never heard of it. Messaging is bad on this show.

Is the sports anchor profession dying?

74% of the audience says, yes, it is.

Man, Christine Lisi tapped in and said no with like 5,000 O's. So salute to my sister, Christine Lisi.

And the last poll, the most important poll, some would say,

are you good at foreplay?

We know Jeremy is.

67% of the audience says, yes, they are.

It was right there for them.

We needed two more percent.

Those are your polls.

Thanks, Juju.

Thank you.

Thanks, Juju.

Thanks, Andrew.
