[B]

All right, let's bring juju aboard here. Juju, how you doing?

[C]

All right, man. How y' all doing, man? You had a great time this weekend at that, um, tailgate, brother.

[B]

Oh, man, Come on, now. We. We had the booze flowing. We had the food. We had Florida Panthers. You were jealous.

[C]

Yes, sir. And my boy Zaz had the hat to the front. I ain't never seen my boy with the hat to the front.

[B]

You know, I gotta be. I gotta be at my professional best, you know, when I'm there for espn. What are you laughing at over there? Chuckles?

[C]

That's hilarious. Professional best interviewing Paul Maurice wearing a Panthers shirt.

[B]

That's right.

[C]

Of course, because you're a professional. You're a journalist.

[B]

Well, when I'm over there doing my ESPN shtick, I got to be very professional. That's what that was on Saturday.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Over here, I could be me. I'm. This is my authentic self, Juju.

[C]

Yes, sir. And it's beautiful. I love it.

[B]

What stood out to you yesterday with the NFL?

[C]

Oh, man, I gotta. I gotta tell Dan. Brother, stop it. I care about you. When it comes to the Chiefs, man, he's doing the thing we keep saying that their offense doesn't. It's not the same anymore. I got four words for Dan. Rashid Rice, Xavier Worthy. Like, that's gonna make things so different, bro. Like the fact that they got the win last night. Yeah, I mean, it was boring, of course, but dare I say, take two of the top weapons away from any quarterback, they're gonna look kind of lackluster as well.

[B]

The Chiefs next week have the Ravens. Rashid Rice is still out for another two, three games.

[D]

Comes back week six or through week six. I know it's something like six games.

[B]

Yeah, six games. So another few games, he's still out. And maybe Worthy comes back next week, maybe not. They got the Ravens next week. I mean, juju. Like Chiefs dropped a 1 and 3. You may need a little more than a returning Rashi Rice and Xavier Worthy.

[C]

I. I'm pretty sure come to playoff time. As long as they get the wild card. As long as they get in there somehow. Look, my Josh Allen and my Bills, we would hate to see them in a wild card spot. Just let me say that right there. I don't want to see him in the playoffs. So I don't care what their record is. You got to have faith in Patrick Mahomes and them.

[D]

That's such a good point. Because he's a Bills fan. Bills fans must be just, please, Chiefs have an off year. Like, if I'm a Bills fan right now, I am just praying for the Chiefs. Just get out of my life for one year.

[B]

Well, look, and the Chiefs, they have the Ravens at home next week. Then they're at the Jaguars, but then they have the Lions after that. I mean, Chiefs could be staring at. What are we talking here? 2 and 4 by the time Rashi Rice gets back. You know what I'm saying?

[C]

Yeah, I still. I'm still afraid of them, no matter what.

[B]

Juju. Asia Wilson got her NBA record, WNBA record, fourth MVP award. Was that a surprise at all? Like, wasn't Aisa Collier like a big contender as well?

[C]

Yeah, I feel like for most of the years it was Nafisa to. To win and lose. And then The Aces strung 17 wins together, and you can't sneeze at that. And within those 17 wins, they handedly beat the Aces and Asia just looked like Asia. So I think that she snatched it from the feast of this year, deserving to win it. Bam. Brought out the award. Yesterday was a lovely day, but I saw something crazy as hell in that ceremony. In that room, the owner of the Raiders, Mark Davis, had on a pink wig to celebrate Asia Wilson dog. Oh, my goodness.

[D]

And that's her dad, right? Because apparently I'm scared. Apparently all the Ace staff as well were all in pink wigs. But Mark Davis partaking in this was a delight.

[C]

Juju does this anointing Asia Wilson as the best WNBA player ever. Would you say that or no? Ooh, I think it does. I hadn't heard that sentence until now, and I actually think it does because four MVPs is bananas. You gotta give it to her.

[B]

She's better than Maya Moore.

[C]

Oh, don't quote me on that. Maya Moore still to go. Yeah, she. She left basketball for a humanitarian reason. Got her man out of jail. So yeah, I'm a. I lead that the Maya Moore close second. Asia Wilson.

[B]

All right. All right. Juju, you got some jokers of the weekend for us.

[C]

Oh, yeah, man. Oh, my goodness, man. Arch Manning. You know I love you. You know we love your dad and his Podcast. Go listen to it right now. But Arch, you playing Sam Houston, man. You can't flex up on the Sam Houston guy after you scored a touchdown. Come on, man. Look at this.

[D]

That's a bad look.

[B]

That's a good point.

[D]

What was the score in the game at this time?

[B]

A lot to not right.

[C]

That was horrible. Do it. Do it against Bama, as my boy say. And also Another one, number 47 from the Rams during that epic block kick at the end of the game, which swung the hearts of America one way or the other. After the game. Number. Look at number 47 right here. He's supposed to be blocking Jordan Davis, I think. I'm not sure what he's doing, but he is looking out of source, out of place video team. If you got that picture of my Brother, look at 47.

[B]

What is that?

[C]

What are you doing?

[D]

He's like, I got who's next, right?

[C]

Boom. Roasted. And now who's right? Come on, brother, you gotta. You can't let that snapshot be on the exact game winning or losing play.

[B]

If that's you, Juju, what do we need? Where are we right now with the WNBA playoffs? What's going on, bruh?

[C]

The. The Indiana Fever are stunning the world right now. They went into Las Vegas on Asia's Day and got the Game 1 victory against the Vegas Aces. They eliminated my Atlanta Dream last week and it hurts so bad. Like being there was the saddest day ever. But now they are actual contenders. They showed the Aces yesterday. Hey, we not just here to be here. We. We here to take it. Caitlyn got the Air Force ones to the black. Air Force ones on. I mean, they looking good. I don't think they're going to be able to do it completely, but at the same time, expectations are here and they are here. You feel me? So salute to them as well as the Mercury went into Minnesota yesterday and caught the L. Minnesota be like. Like I say, bro, they like the. The Golden State warriors back in the day, no fourth quarter lead is safe against the Links. No matter what, you better not let up at all because they will take the game from you.

[B]

And this again, this is best of five now, right?

[C]

Yes, sir. Best of five. First round was best of three. Second round, best of five, Championship series, best of seven.

[B]

Juju, you got some polls for us. What do we got?

[C]

Yes, sir. First poll. Has Tulsa ever at one time been good at football? 30% of the audience say yes. 70% of the audience said no. They have never been. Damn, that sounds right. Can you run down the hill the way dabo does and lose.

[B]

No.

[C]

No. 77% of the audience says no. You can't. No. Everybody knows that. Is Anyone hiring an H Vac company because of their patriotism? 70% of the audience says no. They are not. Is anyone not hiring an H Vac company because of their patriotism? 57% of the audience says no. They are not surprised. Did the creator of the first microwave for sure die of stage six cancer? 86% of the audience says yes. And those are your polls.

[B]

Good job, Juju. Thanks.

[C]

Thank you, guys.
