Tone & Style

The episode is delivered with fast-paced, rapid-fire jokes, affectionate ribbing, and a constant lacing of sarcasm and whimsy—a hallmark of the Le Batard Show. The panel’s banter is both absurd and rooted in sports reality, seamlessly jumping from NBA roasts to deeply unserious poll results. JuJu Gotti’s playful energy and offbeat music contributions (like the cock lane song at 01:36) mesh well with the group’s improvisational style.

Note: All references to “homophobic dog” are made in satirical, self-aware jest and not intended to be taken as literally offensive.

[Papa]

Three, two, one.

[Juju]

Hello, Papa.

[Papa]

I came as soon as I heard the charcuterie board was out and the Crostinian fig jam was laid for your boy.

[Juju]

Oh, Papa.

[Papa]

Right there on the ear. Yes. Thank you. What are some of the finest cheeses this jump has? I saw we laid out the finger foods for the the pores. Yes, yes. You and I are different. You and I dine on the finest of pates. Who's that old guy? He smells like another dog.

[Dan]

So Dan said that Zaz should take the cuck lane. And that inspired a song for me.

[Jeremy]

He is a bonded man living in his old mansion. But he's upset with his house cause his couch is still and as deep as a can. So it's tablet time. No doubt laments is brand new reputation. As he eats. Tofu wants people to stop sending pictures of hotel rooms. And then his wife met Billy Crystal. He was in his bed. She said honey, why don't we you go sit in that chair. Laugh in the cock lane. Sas watches from the sidelines. Laugh in the cock lane.

[Juju]

Cut.

[Papa]

Catchy little diddy. Now remember, for charcuterie tosay we adhere to the 333 rule. These are the rules in place for your traditional balance board. Three meats, three cheeses, three accompaniments and three starches. Your classic rusted assorted crackers. Yes, rustic crackers.

[Dan]

Bring juju aboard. Juju, how you doing today? Good to see you.

[Juju]

Good.

[Dan]

Juju. Can you as a Celtics fan admit that your team is so dull to watch?

[Juju]

Yes. I can also admit that this loss will not matter on judgment day. So we can start there. But at the same time, everything I've said about the Celtics all year, it has come to pass. And the Buffalo Bills might not happen. Neither here nor there. It's just that their in game adjustments are ass. They're non existent brothers. We don't have it tonight. Maybe let's drive in and get some of those files that they're calling and they just don't do that. So it's. I can definitely feel you and. And agree with you saying that. That they are a frustrating team to watch, bruh.

[Papa]

This feels so good, Papa. How was work? Did you chew on important issues?

[Dan]

Are you wearing a Horace Grant jersey?

[Juju]

Yes, sir. Man. Still. Still got it going on.

[Dan]

Wow, look at that. A Horace Grant Orlando Magic jersey. Good call.

[Juju]

Yeah, I had it since I was a baby boy. You did? And my last name is Grant. So a little juju. Help me out.

[Dan]

A little juju wearing it.

[Juju]

There you go.

[Papa]

At what time today do we do the infrared masks?

[Dan]

Juju, you got a burn of the day for us today.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. Man. We all know that the Oklahoma City Thunder swept the sun out of here, bro. And Shay Gilders Alexander took to IG and said this. Everybody wants to be a villain until the brooms come out and the dust settles and you realize who the villain is. And he said that under a picture of Dylan Brooks with on the back of his jersey it said Cancun on and his number three.

[Papa]

So good.

[Juju]

Perfect troll job.

[Papa]

It smells like corned beef hash over here.

[Dan]

Do you think Cancun likes, you know, being the. The place apparently that everyone goes to when their season ends? Like they must know that we always get referenced. Apparently all the players come to us, take a leak.

[Juju]

I don't know.

[Papa]

It's weird.

[Juju]

It doesn't help the resorts at all.

[Papa]

Nice little pee before cold plunge and aromatherapy. Oh, yes, papa.

[Juju]

So today I got some. Some post show awards today for the. For the crew. Man like, Bruh, y' all boys been firing on all cylinders today. So I first want to give the we owe you an apology award to Greg Cody for that more three pointers than two pointer situation.

[Papa]

Good job, Greg.

[Juju]

Thank you.

[Dan]

Good, Addy.

[Juju]

Thank you very much.

[Papa]

Clapping is distracting me. Am I a good.

[Juju]

I also want to give the courage award, the Purple Heart award to our good brother Mike Ryan fighting through shingles. Oh my goodness gracious alive. Yep.

[Papa]

He looks very handsome. No one can notice.

[Juju]

And I would. Lastly, I'd like to give the Hypocrite award to our good brother, Dan lebatar. You know what I'm talking about. Great, Cody. Yeah, I do. Thank you.

[Papa]

Congratulations.

[Juju]

Wow.

[Dan]

All right, let's get some polls for today, Juju.

[Juju]

Yes, sir.

[Papa]

Man.

[Juju]

Scrambling for these polls while I. While I pull them up. Did you see what Paige had to say, you know what I mean, about her relationship with az? It wasn't hard. That was easy. Dallas Wings organization let the Players speak and they'll give their answers.

[Jeremy]

We.

[Juju]

We have to. As a WNBA fan, I've realized that I'm guilty of this as well. We have to stop treating the WNBA like a movement. It's a business. It once was a movement, but now we. We got business things to handle. So we got to understand that from the top, bottom, and let these players be professional. They got it. Neither here nor there.

[Papa]

No cheer. It's junk in my ass. I

[Juju]

junk a good name for a pitcher. 73% of the audience says, yes, it is.

[Papa]

I'm allergic to cashew Bubba.

[Juju]

Can you call it a mansion if you can't afford a couch? Ouch. 88% of the audience says, no, you can't Zaz

[Papa]

like nut milk. Not allergic. Just don't like how it sounds. It's suggestive. Icky.

[Juju]

Are leather couches uncomfortable? 66% of the audience says, yes, they are.

[Papa]

Strange thing about me that I should just volunteer here is I'm slightly homophobic. Now, my papa does have to correct me and tell me that's inappropriate, but you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. I am all right. I'm not even slightly homophobic. I am all the way. Do you.

[Juju]

Do you think of the junk drawer as a positive place? 57% of the audience says, yes, they do. Is there any other type of appendectomy than an emergency?

[Papa]

I see one and I start barking. All right.

[Juju]

86% of the audience says, no, there is not. Do you know what an appendix does?

[Papa]

And yes, I can tell.

[Juju]

76% of the audience says, no, they don't. Salute to the audience. Keeping it real. Should NASCARs have air conditioning? 84% of the audience says, yes, they should. Do you use scissors every day? What in the hell, Dan? 78 of the audience says, no, they don't. Is the tilapia a dirty fish? 72% of the audience says, yes, it is. Have you seen change in the last six years? I've seen it in the White House.

[Dan]

Nice.

[Juju]

84% of the audience says, yes, they have.

[Papa]

Right there. Yes. Papa. Who's the cock over there?

[Juju]

You know what's last poll? You know what's interesting about tumors? 79 of the audience says no. And those are your bows.

[Papa]

Where are the goji berries?
