Transcript

[A]

All right, let's bring Aboard Juju here. Juju. Did you watch any of WrestleMania? Did you see any clips of WrestleMania this weekend?

[B]

I couldn't help but see a thousand an hour. Whether I was locked in or not. They was letting me know what exactly was happening in that arena.

[A]

Well, did what. What stood out to you? Like, was there anything that drew your attention?

[B]

It stood out that my brother, Stephen A. Was in there first day of the playoffs, and I know he had a lot of opinions this morning, so I'm not sure how games my boy actually watched, but it also stood out, man, just how much fun and how much joy that those wrestlers bring to every single person in that audience.

[A]

It was during the Knicks game. Like, he was there at WrestleMania Night 1 during the Knicks Hawks game. Mike, they showed him on the screen there, like, for the folks in attendance, juju. They booed him out. He got the biggest pop on tv. It felt like the biggest negative pop.

[C]

Yeah, he got some heat, but he leaned in. That was cool to see.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And come on, he gets paid tens of millions of dollars. I'm sure he could either rewatch or educate himself on the game. I'm sure he was dialed. He is a Knicks fan.

[A]

I do. Like, I'll. I'll admit now, granted, Stephen A. Doesn't pay to be there. Okay. But If I had WrestleMania tickets, which of course are very expensive, and the Heat, we're playing at the same time, a playoff game. I mean, I'm watching the Heat on my phone, like, I bought the tickets

[C]

for WrestleMania, for WrestleMania 39. I was doing a lot of work, actually, around LA at the time, and it was when the Miami Hurricanes were in the Final Four and they played Saturday. And I. I just had the phone the entire time.

[A]

I mean, this happened to me. And I always wondered if this was ever going to be the case, if I would be faced with this kind of scenario where the Heat or the Panthers, for instance, have a playoff game. And what if there's a Pearl Jam concert at the same time? And this happened last year. It was game one in the. In first round. It was game one, Panthers and lightning. And it was during the Pearl Jam show. And I. I did not like that scenario at all. But of course I went to Pearl Jam, and, you know, I'm keeping track on my phone. Panthers take that ass. You know what I'm saying, juju, right?

[B]

Yes, sir. And what. Another thing that stood out to me is the brother, even though he's now my sworn enemy, he messes with my sister, Tristan Messed with Cameron. Them. I don't like it. You're an enemy no matter what, Jay, USO gets the crowd going, man. When he comes out, that intro, it go crazy. So it made me think of what were the top five wrestling intros from my childhood. Oh, okay. Okay.

[A]

All right, let's do it.

[B]

Oh, well. Oh, well. I. I'm going with the NWO Wolf Pack. Wow, that's.

[A]

Oh, I'm gonna be a strong list. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Too sweet. Also, Oli the Harlem Heat, man, Booker T. Was heaven. Hulk Hogan, we coming for you. Also, Oli. Sting. My boy Sting, man. You gotta just keep him out. Number five. This one hit me hard. I always love this one because it come out and say, oh, you didn't know? Your ass better call somebody.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

Yes, sir, man. Also in that same vein, D Generation X. Come on, man. Number three, lights go off. You know what time it is? The Undertaker.

[A]

Wow. It's number three. The Cyclones just scored a point.

[B]

Number two, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Come on, man. That glass break. Amazing. And the number one chill bumps from when I was a child, bruh. It started from the locker room. It started from the shower, damn near. Goldberg,

[A]

excellent job. I feel bad. I don't know.

[B]

Not a single one of these.

[A]

Like, not one.

[B]

This.

[A]

This is on you, man. Those are a lot of. Those were iconic wrestling entrances, juju. You know Booker T. Of course. Harlem Heat. Booker T. Is a commentator for nxt. And when Booker T. Comes to the ring, comes to his announce table before the show starts, the crowd, in unison, they always chant. Hulk Hogan, we coming for you. Hulk Hogan, we coming for you. Booker loves it.

[B]

I did not know that, bro. Salute the Bad bunny, too, for giving my boy Booker T. More life, man, with that track he put out.

[A]

You got a joker of the day for us today, juju?

[B]

Yes, sir. Man, New York Knicks fans, have you not learned anything? I'm talking about? It was got City after game one. Salute for the F. Trey Young. Chance. I do like that. That's hilarious. You guys got one point with that, but we're expecting you guys to win the championship this year. Guys, news flash. You're blowing your load a little early on Game 1 versus the Hawks, so I'm gonna have to give you guys the joker of the day for acting like you haven't been there at all. Come on, guys.

[A]

Yeah, they were like. The streets were packed. They're up one game to nothing, you know? Although I do. Although I. I heard the call on the radio. I didn't actually See it? Did streamers and confetti come down at Crypto when the Lakers won game one? Because if so, that's a disgrace.

[B]

I can't confirm or deny. By the time that game was over, I was on the couch nodding off because east coast times.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Lord's time zone. All right. Good job there, Juju. What do you make of Wembanyama?

[B]

Man, that brother is sensational. I'm gonna keep saying he's not the most accomplished basketball player I've ever seen. That's MJ. That's my LeBron James now. That's Steph Curry now. But this is clearly my eye test. Like, I mean, say, I have never seen a basketball player be able to do this stuff. The crossover spin, move into the dunk and then like Dan says to the next play the three. Oh, my goodness gracious. That's amazing. And salute to the spurs fans in the organization for showing up and showing out wearing them shir last night. But it makes me ask the question. I want to ask the question to y'. All. Is it fair or foul to expect your fans, your high paying fans, to put that shirt on and embarrass them on this on the Jumbotron if they don't wear it?

[A]

Yeah, that, that's. That's usually a move they pull pregame, you know, where like, they'll put the fan on and they shame them into putting the shirt on.

[C]

Tim Duncan and the Admiral sitting next to each other in the orange giveaway shirts.

[A]

Yeah, I don't know. I think. I think you kind of got to know if you're going to the game. Like, you got to participate in that kind of stuff, you know, Dang.

[B]

Because, see, I'll be thinking, I spent 5,000 on these tickets or so. I want to wear your. My shiniest suit, the one with the sparkles on it. So I don't know. Salute, though.

[A]

Yeah, I know.

[B]

I do think that when Bama back to women a little free game, Ramona Shelburne asked him, speaking of Tim Duncan and the Admiral being there in support, whether he feels the weight. Weight of following in their. Their footsteps just these days on how. How great they were. And Wimby says, I wouldn't say it's a weight. I would say it feels safe. It feels like if you trip, there's a lot of hands there to catch you. And that's, man, free game to everybody out there. That's how we supposed to treat this next generation, man. Yes, they're gonna mess up. Yes, they're wearing the Sheisties with the. Into the library looking ridiculous. They're wearing their pants half off the. Yes, but we can't just shun them for being who they are. We can't shun Jared McCain for wearing fingernails. We gotta go to the young brother and say, okay, teach me how to. How to be cool doing this and. And learn some of the ways while being a positive influence and giving some positive reinforcement to the younger generation. So salute to the spurs organization. They're doing it right. Salute to Pop. Pulling up last week, man. Every time you see Pop, it just make you emotional. So, yeah, salute, man.

[A]

Juju, let's do some polls here. What do we got?

[B]

Yes. S, man. More superficial. Miami or Los Angeles? 63 of the audience says Miami is more superficial. Dang. What y' all think accurate?

[A]

I don't know. I think we're pretty authentic here.

[B]

Do you like capers, aka little green dookie balls? 59 of the audience says no, they do not.

[A]

Oh, all right. Guess they never seen them.

[B]

Did you know that you have to run away from alligators and zigzags? 75 of the audience says, yes. They did know that.

[A]

Everyone knows it.

[B]

Does the continental breakfast qualify as a buffet? 58 of the audience says, yes, it does. Did you know that there are now only six buffets left in Las Vegas? 90% of the audience says no. And last poll, bigger name, Amino Hassan or Tim Kawakami. 74 of the audience says Amino Hassan. And those are your polls?

[A]

That's right. There you go. A titan of the industry. Good job, Juju.
