Transcript

[A]

We welcome in Juju Gotti. Juju, welcome. Hope you had a great weekend. Let's start a little bit with some navel gazing. How did the people like us reliving Tony's worst night of his life?

[B]

I think people loved it. You feel me? The people love everything y' all do. You got to know that. But at the same time, I had a comment from my brother Tony before that fight, like there was no earthly reason, imagination. I don't care what the eyes were. For you to go ddp. I, I made so much money on people not thinking that my boy was finna do what he did to ddp. That was the most logical thing I had ever imagined happening. And it just played out. Yeah, what happened there, Tom?

[C]

What, what happened was I was getting champ with plus Juice and was the worst side of my life. Yes, I agree. It was plus Juice. I was doing transitive properties on Robert Whitaker. Even though they had both won. I. I liked getting the edge on a champion. Right. Like they say, when, when you win the belt, you get a little 20% better. He had defended the belt a couple times. He beat Strickland, he beat Izzy. And it was like, can Hamza remember, Dude, we saw, we saw Hamzat struggle with Kamaru Usman off the couch three weeks before the fight. And they said if that would have gone five, he would have beaten him. So it's like, I'm looking at that. I'm looking, okay, he, he took care of Robert Whitaker, but DDP's a champ. He's fought in killers. He's got six or seven fights on his. On his record that are against legitimate, you know, potential champions in the middleweight division. I'm like, I'm going to take the champ plus juice. And then he wore him like a backpack for 25. There was nothing I could do. So I was hoping, but the problem is hope is a bad strategy.

[B]

Yeah. The lasting memory in my head with Khamzat was how he did Kevin Havin. I was like, well, if he did right, and that's just forever in my mind, but. Yeah, but the crowd loved it. The crowd was like they never seen my boy Tony crash out and that it was one of the most hilarious crash outs ever. Especially when he was like, I like this song by the way.

[A]

My. My favorite part was still, stop celebrating. Stop. Stop trying to hype the crowd up.

[C]

There's no reason you're getting your ass beat and you're trying to help the crowd.

[B]

Just defend the takedown.

[A]

And thanks. Thanks, Mark.

[C]

Thanks, Mark.

[B]

Go then When Lewis. Then when Lewis was like, did you eat your food? And he's like, yeah, I ate.

[C]

Yes, I already ate my food.

[A]

So he's so annoyed. Annoyed by the question.

[C]

Yes, I already ate my food.

[B]

So congratulations to Sue Bird. You feel me? She got the statue outside, you dig? First WNBA player.

[A]

And it looks like her.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Like that. That. That counts for something. It's like, oh, a statue that actually looks like the person it's supposed to be. And it's a cool action shot of her kind of going up with the layup. Does the Dawn Staley statue. Oh, no. Agent Wilson has a statue right? At South Carolina.

[B]

But, yeah, same vibe.

[A]

But it doesn't count because it's college, right? You're saying a NBA statue in front of a dumb. Wait, there's not the staples. Doesn't have any in front of him. No Lisa Leslie there.

[B]

Nah, get on it.

[C]

Riley's getting one in front of Staples.

[A]

Riley's getting one. Yeah, he is. Yes. There goes super.

[B]

Yeah. With the huaraches and everything, man. Salute. Also this weekend, I had to go see Weapons. I saw the what the kids were running outside of the house for cameraman and it was. Bruh. That movie. It was a good movie, Bruh. Yeah, I'm an 8 out of 10 that movie. Because I. There was no time during that movie where I was just like, oh, I wonder what the bets are for the night. Or let me check my text message. I was locked in the entire time. So go see Weapons.

[A]

That's how I felt about Naked Gun. I enjoyed it. It was. It's a good movie, man. It's a fun movie. If you like Naked Gun, it's a good Naked Gun movie juju.

[B]

But. But also, too, though, before that, I kind of don't trust your movie acumen like I used to.

[A]

Why?

[B]

Because during the show today, you said one of the most blasphemous things on the Throwaway.

[A]

I'll stand. I'll stand on this forever. I will take all attacks, foreign and domestic. Dark Knight Rises. Better movie.

[B]

How?

[A]

Intro scene.

[C]

Because the stadium.

[A]

I need to find one of us in the wreckage, brother. Come on, man.

[C]

That's a great line.

[A]

Oh, come on, man.

[B]

Bruh. Do you not remember when Dame. When Bane tried to punch Batman? He had been moved out of the way, but he still decided to punch through the column.

[A]

That's how badass he is. Not like the Joker. Like, oh, I'm gonna use mental things like, no, I'm a badass. Beat the shit out this column. That's how I do I'm baby.

[C]

He didn't use mental things. He was beyond cooked mentally. He's a dog chasing cars. There was no method to his madness.

[B]

He was just mad.

[A]

If that dude is alive now, y' all would think about that movie different. That's all I'm saying. Come on. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Juju. We were talking earlier about posters. Mike had a list of the best posters of all time. He also gave us the posters that he had in his childhood. Zaslo had some childhood posters. What do you have for us in the way of posters?

[B]

Yeah, I consider myself a poster connoisseur. I was the guy when you walk into his dorm room, I had posters on the walls and on the ceiling, covering every space.

[A]

That's a pro there, folks.

[B]

Yeah. Girls walked in there and was like, I am putting out. But, yeah. So it made me think of a top 10 posters list from. I had you feel me from my era, Oli, just because we talked about it. Scarface.

[A]

Everybody had that poster, man.

[B]

Right. The black and white. It was just too iconic. Also, Oli, Pulp Fiction.

[A]

Smoking.

[B]

Yeah, smoking. Also Oli. This kind of go the same boys in the hood and minister society.

[A]

Yeah, Boys in the hood with that font that, like. It looked like chalk or whatever.

[B]

Right, right. And the last Oli was the Bulls tidal wave poster with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman all on the same poster. Amazing. Number 10, Tupac in the New Jersey Devil. Jersey spitting at the camera.

[A]

You had the poster of that?

[B]

Hell, yeah. Number nine, Kevin Garnett peeking behind Darius Miles.
