Episode Highlights

1. Critiques and Commentary on "Righteous Gemstones"

• Stu Gotz initiates the discussion by inviting Juju Gotti to share audience complaints and critiques, setting the stage for an in-depth analysis of recent content.

• Juju Gotti reflects on the show's portrayal of propaganda, specifically praising Bradley Cooper's performance in illustrating the origins of the "gemstone scam." He remarks:

  "Bradley Cooper did a wonderful job of showing how this whole gemstone scam was started. Dare I say it was magnificent. Not just a war piece. An informative piece, sirs." [00:57]

• Dan Le Batard appreciates Juju's perspective, emphasizing the balance between laying a narrative foundation and maintaining humor:

  "I'm all for, like, zigging while zagging. I like that they have occasionally done some episodes that are unexpected. It's just, you know, I like it because it's funny." [01:49]

• The hosts discuss their preferences for dark comedies, with Stu Gotz highlighting the challenges of universal applause in creative endeavors:

  "All of the best stuff that gets made these days, I don't believe any of it gets universal applause. The people who are taking the chances are the ones that are getting those conversations going because we have a standard of expectation that is higher than most for the best things that are made."

• The conversation shifts to "Thursday Thunder," a segment sponsored by DraftKings, where the hosts discuss recent betting outcomes.

  "That's right, it's Thursday Thunder and it's brought to you by DraftKings." [03:07]

  "I'm going Giannis Antetokounmpo, 13 plus rebounds against your Los Angeles Lakers. And the second leg I'm going with... Broc Lopez for over 12 points a night tonight against the center list." [03:50]

3. The Lopez Brothers and Disney World Investments

• The hosts delve into the personal lives of the Lopez brothers, discussing their affinity for Disney World and real estate investments:

  "They have a family trip to Disneyland every single year... When Broc signed his extension, he said, 'I'm buying one of those houses that's on Disney property down in Orlando.'" [05:16]

• Amin Elhassan humorously clarifies the type of properties, dispelling any misconceptions:

  "Not medieval times, though." [05:42]

4. Road Rage and Conflict Resolution

• Transitioning to a more serious topic, Juju Gotti shares his stance on road rage, offering thoughtful advice:

  "Sometimes you honk your horn to somebody who's having a worse day than you are... So I think it means advice. While valuable, I don't agree with it at all." [06:09]

• Stu Gotz echoes the sentiment, stressing the importance of restraint to avoid escalating conflicts:

  "The way that you should engage with others is by leaning on your horn aggressively. You are asking for a fight in Miami." [08:00]

• The conversation emphasizes personal responsibility and the value of seeking therapeutic outlets instead of reacting impulsively on the roads.

5. Interactive Audience Polls

[Stu Gotz]

I want complaints, I want commentary. I want critiques. Juju Gotti is listening to the show throughout the show. He is listening to our fans throughout the show. What are they complaining about today, Juju? What did I get wrong today?

[Juju Gotti]

I mean, I would like to. I mean, first of all, it's good to see all of y'all. I'm always honored to be here. You dig it? I want to kind of go back a couple of days because how propaganda started. Just like this. This is a great example of how propaganda started. I listened to my beautiful illustrious brother Mike, and I listened to my beautiful illustrious brother Dan and said, righteous gemstones. I p you that first episode. And so I was like, you know what? I'll wait till next week and watch it. But then after yesterday's show, Jessica Namin was like, no, not so fast. My friendly Corso style. I watched it and I was locked in the entire episode. Bradley Cooper did a wonderful job of showing how this whole gemstone scam was started. Dare I say it was magnificent. Not just a war piece. An informative piece, sirs.

[Dan Le Batard]

I appreciate the perspective and I. And I'm all for, like, zigging while zagging. Like, I like that they. They have occasionally done some episodes that are unexpected. It's just, you know, I like it because it's funny. And yeah, I know that they're trying to lay the foundation. I feel like you could do that and also tell a joke.

[Amin Elhassan]

It was funny.

[Stu Gotz]

It was hilarious.

[Greg Cote]

It was a dark comedy.

[Dan Le Batard]

I like dark comedies. I know what they're going for. And they weren't. You would think it would work with me. I just. I didn't feel it.

[Greg Cote]

That's fine.

[Amin Elhassan]

You watch too much hockey. Everything's so straightforward.

[Greg Cote]

Team Juju and Amin though I believe.

[Stu Gotz]

That all of the best stuff that gets made these days, I don't believe any of it gets universal applause. The people who are taking the chances are the ones that are getting those conversations going because we have a standard of expectation that is higher than most for the best things that are made. So it's only the greatest compliment. I see that Danny McBride is making the rounds everywhere now doing interviews. Well, he is somebody who's graduated. He's been wanting to make a war movie since Tropic Thunder. Like that's, that's where he started to break out and that's what he did with the first. First did we do Thursday Thunder day? We haven't done Thursday Thund Thunder.

[Mike Ryan]

Let's do it, Dan.

[Stu Gotz]

What are we waiting for?

[Amin Elhassan]

Topic Thunder.

[Mike Ryan]

That's right, it's Thursday Thunder and it's brought to you by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Juju.

[Juju Gotti]

Man, if you tuned in to Thursday Thunder last week, I apologize from my heart to your heart. I had three leg parlay, of course two of them hit easily. The third leg of the parlay was a sham, a travesty. I demand justice. Brandon Podzemski over 12.5 points. He played 44 seconds into the game and went out with a back spasm not to return the entire game. And that's how we lost Thursday.

[Stu Gotz]

I'm sorry, Juju.

[Juju Gotti]

Exactly. I'm sorry more. But this week we're going with a single game parlay and we're traveling to Milwaukee, Amin's favorite town where they dunked him in the tank over and over again. First leg I'm going Giannis Antetokounmpo, 13 plus rebounds. Over 13 rebounds against your Los Angeles Lakers.

[Amin Elhassan]

I like it.

[Juju Gotti]

And the second leg I'm going with the tall brother, the twin himself, Brooke Lopez for over 12 points a night tonight against the center list. If you ask me, Lakers. Even though he's a big man that hangs around the three point line, I think it's going to be a lot of cookies available around that monster of a goal tonight for brook Lopez. Over 12 points for my brother. And the last leg, Heat legend. Heat. Heat. I was going to say Heat mafia, but heat culture mafia disciple Gabrielle Vincent. You dig it? We're going over 10 points for him tonight because they're going to need scoring from somewhere and it ain't going to be Jared Vanderbilt. Watch it be Jared Vanderbilt.

[Stu Gotz]

The Lopez brothers, I thank you. The Lopez brothers, I think have a home on the Disney world property which just seems magical. As seven footers who are giant toddlers.

[Dan Le Batard]

They live in celebration.

[Amin Elhassan]

So here's the deal. Before they ever made the NBA, they had a family trip to Disneyland every single year. Their mom and their brothers would go to Disneyland every single year when they got drafted and they got money, it became a yearly trip to, to Disney World. When Brooke signed his extension, his rookie extension, then he read real money was like, I'm buying one of them houses that's on Disney property down in Orlando.

[Greg Cote]

Not medieval times, though. Interesting.

[Amin Elhassan]

Not medieval times.

[Stu Gotz]

Did we find out how many medieval times there are in the United States? Did we ever. There can't be that.

[Amin Elhassan]

Is that yes or no?

[Dan Le Batard]

No.

[Stu Gotz]

Juju, do you have anything for us in the way of commentary on today's show? Anything, any of the subject matter, matter land poorly or well?

[Amin Elhassan]

Oh, knocked your mic out, buddy.

[Juju Gotti]

The last conversation we were having. Uhoh. The last conversation we was having. I'm going to be depressed on that for like the next two days. So sorry about that.

[Stu Gotz]

It'll be cleaned up.

[Juju Gotti]

Really going to have cleaned up.

[Stu Gotz]

It'll be cleaned up.

[Juju Gotti]

That it's okay. I was going to lean into it.

[Dan Le Batard]

In which Dan saying it'll be cleaned up will make zero sense.

[Mike Ryan]

Well, I, I gave it to. I told Dan I'll clean it up. And I was trying to help, but then it got out on the air. Now here we are.

[Amin Elhassan]

Now here we are.

[Mike Ryan]

We're going to leave all of it.

[Juju Gotti]

Leave all of it in. It's all of my fault, as usual. And just to remind people, if you listen to these post game shows and you take anything serious, remember, I am a comedian. I identify as a comedian. So take my words with a grain of salt that you take Andrew Schultz's and you take Big J Okerson's. But I was listening to you, you guys last conversation about road rage. And I have the kind of opposite opinion of road rage. My New Year's resolution, one of my New Year's resolutions is to not show road ra rage one bit at all this year because news flash, we live in crazy times, bros and sisters. Like sometimes you roll rage against somebody or you honk your horn to somebody who's having a worse day than you are, a worse life than you are, and is on the edge. So I think it means advice. While valuable, I don't agree with it at all. You honk your horn at the wrong person, you're getting your rear view mirror chopped off by a guy. Now you got to deal with that. The unfortunate solution is to just be the change you want to see in the road. You got to refer back to your life and just think about how blessed you are to live the life you live versus the life of a construction worker or a fort lift driver. Salute to the fort Lift drivers and construction workers. But those brothers have it hard. We. We get blessed to talk in the microphone these days. Oh, my goodness. Imagine that happening to you.

[Stu Gotz]

There is the rear view mirror Chop in the streets of Miami. Across the street from Juju did not like that video the first time that it appeared. I will say, though, that Amin is indeed wrong when he says that the vehicle should be a vessel for huge resentment, a tube for your displeasures, and that the way that you should engage with others is by leaning on your horn aggressively. You are asking for a fight in Miami.

[Amin Elhassan]

I'm just saying that if you don't do it in there, you're gonna do it somewhere else to someone that you care about. And that's not.

[Juju Gotti]

If you do it in therapy. You go to therapy and you talk to your therapist about this, Stu. You work out these problems. You don't have to have a release. You don't have to let it out on someone one day and then regret letting it out later. But you are right about pedestrians, though, because even if you have the right of way as a pedestrian, if I hit you with my car, your life goes right away. So just please don't watch. Look both ways before you.

[Amin Elhassan]

There you go.

[Stu Gotz]

Good advice, cyclists throughout South Florida. Don't die in the street. What polls do we have to update here, Juju?

[Juju Gotti]

Today's pose are. Did witty slurp.

[Stu Gotz]

That seems obvious.

[Juju Gotti]

Chris slurpingham. 94 of the audience says yes. He slurped. Dang, we ruined.

[Stu Gotz]

We ruined his big day.

[Juju Gotti]

He was. He did a fantastic job yesterday too, man. You too, Jeremy. More embarrassing, a Jeremy Tashay fist pump or a Whittingham slurp? 53 of the audience says a Whittingham slurp.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, thank God.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's a tight one, though.

[Stu Gotz]

It's. It's particularly funny because he such a professional, he's horrified by making that sound publicly. He tried to delay it.

[Dan Le Batard]

He was frozen.

[Amin Elhassan]

He said I inhaled. I was just an inhale. Come on, man. That's too wet to be an inhale.

[Juju Gotti]

Hey, yo. Would you rather your partner always talk in medieval old English or pirate slang? 56% of the audience said pirate slang.

[Amin Elhassan]

The eyes.

[Juju Gotti]

What? And are people leaning on the horn more these days? Well, we have. This just never has happened before in the history of the show.

[Stu Gotz]

No.

[Juju Gotti]

50% of the audience says yes. 50% of the audience says no. Those are your polls.

[Greg Cote]

Liar.
