Hosts Dan Le Batard and Stugotz, along with guest Chris and Juju, navigate through various sports topics, interspersed with personal anecdotes and interactive polls.

Flight Anxiety and Personal Anecdotes

The conversation begins with Juju addressing the group about the experience of flying to space, which leads to a relatable discussion on flight anxiety.

• Juju: "I would be Gayle King, though. I feel like I would be like months out. I'm in, I want to go. But day of, I'm like that with flights. Do you guys get nervous?" [01:12]

• Mike Ryan: Shares a personal fear of turbulence stemming from a traumatic flight experience. He reflects, "Before, anytime I felt turbulence, I guess I would have PTSD. But then the world got so awful that anytime I experience turbulence now, I'm like, oh, yes, sweet God, please take me. And it's done wonders for it." [01:30 - 02:18]

WNBA Draft Highlights

The discussion shifts to the recent WNBA draft, where Juju and Chris analyze the selections and their implications.

• Juju: "What were your thoughts about the WNBA draft last night? We didn't talk too much about any of the selections." [02:18]

• Chris: Expresses surprise at the Valkyrie's decision to draft Double J from Slovenia. He also praises the picks from the Atlanta Dream, highlighting player dynamics and team prospects. "I was surprised that the Valkyrie took Double J from Slovenia or wherever she's from." [02:38 - 03:00]

• The hosts commend the excitement of new draft picks, emphasizing the positive outlook for teams like Dallas and Atlanta.

Trophies in Sports: The Green Jacket Debate

A humorous debate ensues about the significance of the green jacket versus traditional trophies in sports.

• Sierra Deuce: "The green jacket is the greatest trophy because you can wear it." [03:33]

• Mike Ryan: Clarifies the misunderstanding about trophies, "I had to ask Chris if there is a trophy, because what you get is that green jacket. And here in the United States, we're all about wearing trophies, getting a ring." [04:00]

• Juju: Adds, "There's a picture of Rory. He's holding it. It looks like butler cabin of some sort. The trophy, it's just a little small." [04:19 - 04:26]

• The hosts conclude that while the green jacket is iconic, traditional trophies still hold their ground in the U.S. sports culture.

Juju's Top 5 Most Hated NBA Teams

In a passionate segment, Juju (or possibly Chris, based on the transcript) outlines his top five most hated NBA teams, providing reasons and personal biases for each choice.

1. Milwaukee Bucks

   • Reason: Dislike for players like Michael Red, Van Baker, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
   • Quote: "Get Michael Red. Van Baker. The Big Dog. Get them out of here." [04:31 - 06:05]

2. Cleveland Cavaliers

   • Reason: Frustration with players like Anderson Varejão, Craig Echlin, and Donovan Mitchell.

3. Toronto Raptors

   • Reason: Disregard for their championship and injuries to key players like KD and Klay Thompson.

   • Quote: "That championship does count in my record book either. KD got hurt. Klay Thompson got hurt. It doesn't count in my record book at all." [04:31 - 06:05]

   • Juju: Points out the nostalgia factor, "This is just like nostalgia, like say an old team and then like just Toronto Raptors." [05:37]

4. Indiana Pacers

   • Reason: Annoyance with players like Roy Hibbert, Reggie Miller, Pascal Siakam, and T.J. McConnell.

5. Utah Jazz

   • Reason: Strong aversion to their style and presence in the NBA.
   • Quote: "Strong Larry Marketing could save Earth from a meteor while also simultaneously getting rid of world hunger. And I still wouldn't root for the Jazz. Get them out of here." [06:10 - 06:33]

[Mike Ryan]

Hey, folks, it's Mike Ryan. And if you're watching our show, you probably know and your boy has undergone a little bit of a body transformation. And I gotta tell you, Peloton has helped me on my fitness journey. It got the ball rolling for me because I watch my wife on the peloton. She takes all these great classes. She has her favorite instructors. I listen to the music, I'm a big music guy. Gets me fired up. Makes me want to take part in this fitness phenomenon known as Peloton.

Peloton will help you achieve your goals and maybe you'll have some fun along the way. I know I have. It's backed by thousands of members whose lives have been changed. Be part of that group, telling you I'm better for it. Have it in my office. Sometimes I can put on the baseball game. Sometimes I can put on a soccer match. Some other times I'm totally locked in on an emo playlist. Find your push, find your power with Peloton. @1peloton.com it's the post game show with Juju.

[Juju]

Juju has arrived. Juju, would you go to space?

[Chris]

Yeah, I would go to space. Put me on a rocket, get me out of here. I feel like I've seen all earth has to offer.

[Juju]

I would be Gayle King, though. I feel like I would be like months out. I'm in, I want to go. But day of, I'm like that with flights. Do you guys get nervous? Like the day of a flight, I always just have this, like, I am Gayle King. Like when I'm walking into I to board the plane, I have a little of this in me, this energy of just a little nervous.

[Unknown]

That's why you look around and you find everyone that guarantees you in your head that you're not going to crash.

[Juju]

Right. I've done that. This guy's not dying today. This guy looks good.

[Unknown]

Bezos's fiance is a good point. That's a good one.

[Mike Ryan]

On this one, Bezos's fiance is there. You like your chances a little bit more. I used to be. It's a very recent thing, but I had a bad fear of turbulence because I had a plane that got struck by lightning. And then I had a nightmare trip where people were hitting the seal the roof of the airplane. And since then, yeah, yeah. When I flew back with the university in Miami from Europe, there were people that were wearing seatbelts, like their Legs were hitting. It was bad. It was real bad. So after that, anytime I felt turbulence, I guess I would have ptsc. But then the world got so awful that anytime I experience turbulence now, I'm like, oh, yes, sweet God, please take me. And it's done wonders for it. I swear to God that's been the case.

[Unknown]

Juju, what were your thoughts about the WNBA draft last night? We didn't talk too much about any of the selections. I personally. We all knew Paige Beckers was going to go first overall, but I personally enjoyed seeing all her new Dallas teammates tweeting at how excited they were to have her there. What were. What were some of your key takeaways?

[Chris]

Hell, yeah. I was surprised that the Valkyrie took Double J from Slovenia or wherever she's from.

[Unknown]

That was a shock, I think is her last name.

[Chris]

Yeah. Joyce Justice. Salute to this. Sorry if I'm butchering your name, but yeah, man, it was a lot of shockers. I can't believe that it took. Took a girl from NC State. Not Sanaya.

[Unknown]

Isaiah James.

[Chris]

Isaiah James. I feel like Dallas got a steal by getting her at, like, 12. I think it was a lot of steals. Salute to the Atlanta dream. We got pow, pow in the building, you dig? I thought we were gonna take Fagin, but, hey, Popeye was good enough for me. You dig it? Because we got a lot going on in Atlanta right now, like bg, Brianna Jones, Walker Kimbrough. I love the girls.

[Juju]

Juju, how'd we do today?

[Chris]

You did fantastic. You? Me, I like to submit the Washington Capital loss. Can that be a tax exemption?

[Juju]

I like that.

[Chris]

You dig. I know you can. Thumbs down. Hell, yeah. Also, Sierra Deuce, the real Sierra Deuce said the green jacket is the greatest trophy because you can wear it. You dig? You know.

[Mike Ryan]

No, no, no, no. It is both here and there. I think that actually counts as a trophy because I've been told, Chris, there is a trophy. There is a trophy for that. No one knows what it looks like.

[Juju]

It's just the green jacket.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I had to ask Chris if there is a trophy, because what you get is that green jacket. And here in the United States, we're all about wearing trophies, getting a ring. We end discussions with rings. But actual formal wear, besides jewelry, as a trophy, I can get with it.

[Juju]

Yeah, like Rory here. There's a picture of Rory. He's holding it. It looks like butler cabin of some sort. The trophy, it's just a little small. Yeah. Like, no, I have never seen this trophy before.

[Mike Ryan]

Never in my life did I know that the trophy was anything but that green jacket.

[Chris]

Hell yeah. And while y'all was talking about the Miami Heat, you know, my, my brother Jeremy can get on a tangent here and there, but it made me think, who are my most hated teams of all times? The NBA teams of all times. So I've got my most hated NBA teams just from now through history. The number five, the Milwaukee Bucks. Get Michael Red. Van Baker. The. The Big Dog. Get them out of here. No ERA Giannis as well. Get him out of here. Number four, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Salute to my brothers and sisters in Cleveland. But Anderson Verajao. Get out of my life. Like, I don't want Craig Elo and. And Donovan Mitchell. I'm not playing the Time Wars. Get them out of here. Number three, the Toronto Raptors. Jose Calderon. Take a walk. Sir, you can. That championship does count in my record book either. KD got hurt. Klay Thompson got hurt. It doesn't count in my record book at all.

[Juju]

This is just like nostalgia, like say an old team and then like just Toronto Raptors.

[Unknown]

Being on anyone's top five most hated teams is a big upset for me. So I love that they're there.

[Chris]

Number two, the Indiana Pacers. Roy Hibbert. You get on the submersible with Reggie Miller and Pascal Siakam. Katy Perry, join them.

[Unknown]

T.J. mcConnell.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, Dark Horse was inescapable.

[Chris]

And number one of all time most hated NBA team. Dior, Utah Jazz. Strong Larry Marketing could save Earth from a meteor while also simultaneously getting rid of world hunger. And I still wouldn't root for the Jazz. Get them out of here. AK47, I see you.

[Unknown]

I am shocked you don't have the heat. Your list?

[Chris]

No. I like you guys.

[Unknown]

We like you too.

[Juju]

Got any polls go on?

[Chris]

Yeah, I got some pose. Also salute to the Detroit Pistons. They've. They have restricted Frank fans from buying tickets to their home games versus the Knicks unless they live in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana or Ontario, Canada. Take that, Knicks fans. And now for the pose. Let's do it as I scroll vigorously and vigorously.

[Juju]

Love a good panic scroll. Like when Dan's asking for something, it's like, yep, Dan, I'm just filling time here.

[Chris]

All right. Look at all Pistons news.

[Juju]

Fat white face.

[Chris]

Does traveling at great height make people more emotional? 77 of the audience says, yes, it does. Let's do. Did you know that the national championship trophy has two pieces? 80% of the audience says no, they did not. Can you fire someone during an eight game winning streak? 66% of the audience says no. You cannot.

[Juju]

Bad.

[Chris]

Hands off. Does Franz Wagner sound like a movie villain?

[Juju]

90.

[Chris]

95% of the audience says, yes, it does.

[Juju]

What were those 5% doing?

[Chris]

Right. I think they're from Russia. Mother Russia. Do you have any interest at all in going underwater in a submarine? 87% of the audience says, no, they do not. And the last poll? Nope. We got two more polls. Why do adults want high fives from golfers between holes?

[Juju]

This is big.

[Chris]

57% of the audience says yes. I didn't know what to do there. Do you lose a little weight and the nipples get better? 75% of the audience says yes, they do a good show. And those are your pose.

[Juju]

Thank you.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Look at us.

[Mike Ryan]

Way to go. Bad shirt.

[Chris]

Yes, sir.

[Mike Ryan]

Showing all the shirts.
