Tone & Style

The episode’s energy is loose, playful, and driven by improvisational humor. JuJu’s storytelling and Dan’s dry, observational comedy set the mood, while the absurd "Stat of the Day" performance and audience polls provide both structure and recurring laughs. The language is colloquial, peppered with sports slang, and true to the personalities of the hosts.

New listeners will get a sense of JuJu’s comedic perspective, the LeBatard Show’s love of absurdity (as seen in their "Stat of the Day" musical), and a snapshot of how smart-tech anxieties mirror everyday frustrations—always framed with Miami-flavored personality and offbeat humor.

Transcript

[A]

Gonna update the polls here with juju in a second. Gonna have a stat of the day. Got a new top five list for you as well. But, juju, what were your thoughts on Snoop Dogg's color commentary during Steve Kerr going crazy on the. On the refs during last night's Clippers warriors game?

[B]

Englewood, you feel me? Come on, man. Snoop Dogg is a perfect example of a role model for us. You dig the other side of the train tracks? This is exactly what I aspire to be. Like, I never could really put my finger on what I want to be in life, and I feel like Snoop Dogg embodies it, bro. He got his fingers in everything you did a yo. But at the same time, man. Snoop Dogg role model. I salute you, big brother. Steve banging Inglewood right now. Inglewood. Get him, Englewood.

[A]

There have not been a lot of careers like that one in the history of American pop culture. What is the top five list you got for us today? Jujube.

[B]

Ah, man. Over the weekend, I was traveling, and I saw something crazy as hell. They had a smart wine pourer at an event I was at, and I'm like, come on, bro. Why are we making everything smart? So I made a top five list of things that I don't think should be smart at all.

[A]

So explain to me the smart wine pour what was happening there.

[B]

Right. I did not understand it, so I went to my phone and said, no, five things. I shouldn't make that list. And then here we are on Tuesday day. I have one that I hope makes the list. I'll reveal it after because I don't want to ruin it in case juju has it, but I have something here that is great.

[A]

All right, well, why don't you just give it to us, and then juju will tell us whether it's 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1, and then we'll make it a top four list. Wow.

[B]

Fun. I like it. Okay. It's the tr. We have it here. It's the trash can with the wave thing. To get the thing to come up, it's like, we were fine with just the foot. The foot pedal thing pops up, goes right back down.

[A]

Now you have me in front of.

[B]

A trash can doing this totally with you, and then it doesn't go up. So then I have to get in and, like, actually lift it. So now what?

[A]

Defeating the entire. It's just.

[B]

We were. The foot pedal was good enough. That's all we need. Sorry if it's on there, Juju. Nah, it's not. It's Actually not on there. You feel me? And I like that, though. It should have been on there. But number five, the smart fork, bruh. It is this bruh. Google it. It doesn't make no sense. I don't need my fort to be smart. Just jab and scoop. Jab and scoop.

[A]

Put those things on the poll, please. Do you need your fork to be smart? And also, did you prefer the foot pedal garbage can to electronic garbage can? Number four.

[B]

Number four, the smart egg tray. Come on, man. It comes with wi fi and a chip that you can get in there to let you know when you low on eggs. I don't need all that, man. I can see one of my favorite.

[A]

Things around here is when you play the wrong sound and I see behind you Mike Ryan just burst out laughing. And then where'd Guillermo's epic sound? Number three.

[B]

Oh, no. We got some breaking news out of the NFL. Oh, hold on, commander.

[A]

Let's see if he plays the wrong sound. Damn it.

[B]

The commander's offensive coordinator, Cliff Kingsberry is leaving the organization to pursue other opportunities. There's your breaking news.

[A]

The other opportunity is ayahuasca. Number three.

[B]

Number three, smart door locks. I used to stay at an apartment complex that my key was like electric, so you just hold it in and unlocks. But one day my electric thing was out of order and I had to wait two hours on a Sunday for the maintenance man with chicken and stuff from the grocery store.

[A]

Bruh.

[B]

Give me a key, man. Let me get in my house.

[A]

I don't think juju that people quite understand how bad our dependency is on electronics. I was someplace the other day and the credit card machine stopped working, and I'm staring at 11 employees who simply did not know what to do with the entire business. You had 11 human beings there and the entire business fell apart because the credit card machine wasn't working.

[B]

Exactly. Number two, the smart refrigerator. Come on, man, just close and get cold. Close and get cold. I don't need no stock tips. I don't care what the weather is in Miami. Clothes and get cold.

[A]

Put it on the poll at lebiton show. Do you need anything from your fridge? Stock tips, clothes and get advertisements on them now.

[B]

Score updates. And number one, the smart toilet. That's self explanatory, man. I got it. I got it, bro.

[A]

You don't need any help. I think I need to argue on that one. Just because the greatest toilet experiences I have ever had are in Japan. And I think you're underestimating a luxuriant toilet experience. But it's Juju's list. I can make my own on my own time. Thank you for that. Do you have a stat of the day today? Do we have a stat of the day?

[B]

Oh, yes, sir, brother, I do.

[A]

All right, well, give me the long version of the intro, please. Long version.

The stat of the day the long version of the stat of the day oh, can't make it stop it just goes on It's. It's the stat of the day. Matt Hasselback was struck by lighting twice. Sugary Robinson's son is in the hall of Fame for roller derby. What? 1.25 billion chicken wings get eaten on every super bowl Sunday. That's 625 million wingless chickens. In 1943, the Steelers and the Eagles lost so many players to service in World War II that the teams combined and they called it the Steagalls. That are the days bad of the days, sad of the day. I can't believe Dan thought Josh Allen would never be a good quarterback. Michael Phelps hit the longest golf putt ever made on camera at 159ft. That's deep. The Harlem Globetrotters are originally from Chicago and known as the Savoy Big Five. And that ain't no jive. Joe Theisman's last name is actually pronounced Theisman, but a marketing guy at Notre Dame got him to change it to Theisman. So Theisman, Rhineston, Heisman, Thighman, Heisman. Heisman. Joe came in second that year to Jim Plunkett. Man, that don't even rhyme. Who would have thunk it? St of the day spell the day Sad of the day can't believe Dan fucked off Dialing with Nelly and Claude Quarterback running backs don't matter sacks are not a Kivi stat Magnus effect draft capital true shooting percentage that's what free what's a Pythagorean expectation Spinning fish feet Yak like Kittle nobody's got yak like Kittle man Kittle's got crazy ass Regrets to the maze Regrets to the maze yeah that's the sound of the day.

Who's got the most assist in a game in a season we're in the hall career who just get hit by a pigeon who just could have drink and when was the stadium building? How long has it been? This is oh my God look who is here Our original G. Hit them with something sexy Kenny. Stats Facts.

[B]

4Th and Babbitt regression to the mean strikes and blocks and carries. Who's your mvp? How many times have they done it? How many years has it been? How many ways has it been done to go down in history? Points per game, Good percentages. Let's go. Let's go.

[A]

Always enjoy that. It's always good. I think the audience fast forwards for 12 minutes. But for those who have not heard the long version of stat of the day, if it's a surprise to you for the first time, I'm happy to produce it for you. Even though Mike Ryan has post Traumatic stress disorder from having to make that before we left ESPN as our final joke. What is the stat of the day? Juju?

[B]

Garrett Wilson ended the season as the jets leading receiver with 395 yards. He hasn't caught a caught a ball since week six.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

That's just that of the day.

[A]

That is a great start of the day. It rivals yesterday stat of the day. Which is the jets are the first team in the history of the NFL to go the entire season without an interception. I remind you they had an extra game to do it and still didn't get an intercept snaps though they did not get an interception in 17 games. That's a good stat of the day. Juju. I know that Draymond got ejected again the other night. Zazzle. We never got to your thoughts on that as Draymond got there. There has never been a player like this in the NBA. I guess Dennis Rodman Is close, but there's been quite this where you just have a power line of electricity that can't be harnessed.

[B]

Rodman so rarely lost control. Rodman mentally was like. Was a step ahead of everyone else. And Draymond Green consistently loses control. And, yes, Draymond was thrown out of the game a couple nights ago, and then last night, Steve Carr was thrown out like this. This. They're totally imploding, this warrior team. Now, Steve Kerr was just repping Inglewood. That's why he was doing. He ain't do nothing wrong.

[A]

What are your thoughts on the Draymond situation, Juju?

[B]

Oh, yeah. I mean, I think Draymond. Draymond definitely has a lot of work to do. He has more work to do than he will admit. I feel like I'm a perfect example. Once I started to admit to myself that, you know what? What? I could be a better person. I could be a better human. Then I actually start growing. I think Draymond. Think he's so together and think he got it so under control that he ain't willing to listen to nobody. He called himself the new media and be doing the same stuff the other folks be doing. Did you see the clip of him commenting on Jordan Poole during the fight with Jose Alvarez? I don't know if the video team. Y' all got that video.

[A]

Hold on. It's Jose Alvarado and Mark Williams. They had a fight. Let's hear. Let's hear what Draymond had to say about this. That if I'm in a fight, though, and my teammates stand behind me and do this. Come on, man. We can't be doing that.

[B]

David west used to always tell us.

[A]

Man, if something go on on the court, you go over there because you don't know what's going to happen. I ain't saying you got to go over there and fight or put.

[B]

But you at least got to go.

[A]

Stand because you don't know what's going to happen. What if five. Those five guys. Guys jump on your one teammate and you stay over there? Then what? You just gonna not help?

[B]

Then why would that happen?

[A]

Right?

[B]

Seems like terrible advice crashed into the arena and the aliens jumped out. And you sitting there smiling like. That's how you know it's always people out there that just don't like you, bro. Draymond, we get it. You don't like Jordan Poole. You don't got to examine this man like this. What you want him to do? Get a. Get a fine? Because if you jump in there and get a Fine. Now we talking about him in the media, about how he don't have. So stall him out. Draymond.

[A]

When Zaslow says. Or when you talk about the idea that Draymond is either out of control or not looking to be a better person, doesn't he have a documentary on prime where we're going into therapy with him? Like where he is showing everybody that he is indeed doing. I thought there was an Amazon prime documentary of Draymond talking pretty openly about his self control issues and doing therapy publicly, publicly and privately. I just think he's got a control problem. And it's a tempest. It's something that can't be harnessed on the way to championships. This guy was getting ejected. He was getting ejected from finals games and then scoring 32 points in a Game 7. When he came back from getting ejected from it. It. It's been really rare for us to have this kind of public display of some. Somebody who does not have an ability to control or harness their emotions, but yet they. They profit greatly from that. When he's the. When he's the fuel on the engine there.

[B]

Not anymore.

[A]

Yeah, now. Not anymore. Now he sits out whenever Steph's out. He. You can tell which game Steph is sitting because Draymond is out of the game before this. What a great gig Draymond has at the end of his career where he only plays if Steph is playing. There is a documentary called the Sessions that debuted in 2022. It was advertised as a miniseries, but there's one episode, so.

[B]

Yeah, my buddy, he need to get back in the jam. Dan in the therapy jam.

[A]

All right, we're gonna update the polls here in a second. I remind everyone listening to this, though that Juju and Trista do a great job on Alley OOP covering basketball differently than I'm hearing it covered elsewhere. And as the season ramps up and we head into the playoffs, they'll be doing some live stuff on YouTube. So I urge you to find Alley Oop wherever it is that you get your PO experiences and also subscribe to their YouTube page because they're doing fun and great things and they've got an unusual chemistry. Let's go ahead and update some polls here. Juju at lebatard show. What do we have today?

[B]

Yes, sir. Is Turd Cartwheel a great name for a defensive coordinator? 68% of the audience says, yes, it is. Solo. Does Greg Cody have control of anything when it comes to his marriage? 95% of the audience says, no, he does not.

[A]

Dang audience no, I mean, 5% of people are wrong. He has. He is a toddler. In fact, Greg Cody, I would say, has fewer skills than his granddaughter when it comes to running a household.

[B]

She did beat him in an Olympics. That was a few months. He does rave about the Barbie room a lot. Is Antonio Brown going to make it to the hall of fame? 85% of the audience says no, he is not. No chance. Is everyone worried about this turf? 82% of the audience says yes, they are.

[A]

Antonio Brown is worthy of being in the hall of Fame. You agree with that, Correct? On merit. Antonio Brown would absolutely make the hall of Fame? Yes.

[B]

How many of those years did he have? Like four or five.

[A]

So you're saying no?

[B]

I don't know if that's enough. It's hard getting in as a wide receiver in that sport.

[A]

It is. So you don't think he has the numbers to get into the hall of Fame?

[B]

I don't think he has the longevity necessarily.

[A]

Who are the greatest who haven't gotten in at wide receiver? We have the Mark brothers. We. Did Andre Reed. Did Andre Reed get into the hall of Fame?

[B]

I think so, yeah.

[A]

Might have finally gotten in.

[B]

Reggie Wayne, Tory Holt.

[A]

It is hard. But Antonio Brown, I thought, had a three year run of being the best receiver in the game. And if you're that, I'm thinking that you always get into the hall of Fame. But what else do we have there? Juju.

[B]

Is it stealing to take the basket home from the grocery store like lane Kiffin did? 92% of the audience says yes, it is stealing.

[A]

It is.

[B]

You can get electrocuted for, right? Speaking of Lane Kiffin, Kwan Lacy decided to return back to Ole Miss. The running back. So things ain't going like you thought it would. What would you use that basket for at home?

[A]

He wasn't taking it home to use it. He was taking it home because he didn't want to do it the correct way and not save nature. Yeah, that's what he was doing. Laundry, maybe. Environmentalist at LeBatard show. What else we got? Juju.

[B]

Will Kevin Durant be able to make that shot at the buzzer at 80 years old? 82% of the audience says yes, he will. Yeah. Is it fair to expect you to stay awake at a classical music concert?

[A]

Wait a minute. I'm not. That's not the question. The question is, can you be trusted to stay awake? Because that's what I was offended by as I left the house, even though I know it's true and I cannot be Trusted, regardless. What's the answer?

[B]

I ain't gonna lie, big bro. You start firing from the hip around the end of the show. It was pole at the pole. I'm trying to keep up with you. That's on me. 60% of the audience said no. It's not unfair to expect them. Expect them to go to sleep. 60 of the folks. Do you like the sleep where you're trying to stay awake but can't and your head keeps falling and it keeps waking you back up?

[A]

Nobody likes that sleep. I can't believe that Chris and Mike are arguing on behalf of that sleep.

[B]

58% of the audience says no. They don't like. That's it. There are people there. You know what kind of sleep I'd love to get right now? The kind where my head bobs.

[A]

Mike, are you. What are you mad at on the television right now? What are you looking at? That isn't our show. That's pissing you off. That's on your television screen, right? There's a lower third that says, big deal. There are no traditional powerhouses in CFP.

[B]

Back here.

[A]

He just went, all right, all right. And crossed his arms. Honestly, who wants watches this shit for college football news like that.

[B]

That is the biggest problem.

[A]

The biggest thing standing in college football's.

[B]

Way is that this show covers it occasionally. Last poll is Skyscraper, one of the greatest of all time action movies.

[A]

Asinine thing for Zaslow to say. Damn. Was hoping for the poll.

[B]

91% of the audience says no. And those are your polls.

[A]

See you later, Juju. Talk to you tomorrow.
