[David Aldridge]

Would you like fresh towels?

[Hilton Advertiser]

It matters where you stay. Book [e-mail] Hilton for this day.

[Chris Webber]

Shot clocks, big shots, upsets, ACEs TGL playoffs are here. First, Atlanta drive starts their repeat run against Los Angeles Golf Club. Then Rory's Boston Common golf and Tigers Jupiter Links face off in their playoff debuts. Who will advance? Keep up its playoffs. Tune in Tuesday, March 17th at 6:30pm and 9:00pm only on ESPN and the ESPN app.

[David Aldridge]

We'll get to Juju's polls. We'll get to his top five favorite athletes. We'll get to see what he has to say about our inside the NBA contest conversation in a second. But juju and the group, I'd like to ask you guys a question. Okay? Every once in a while we get mailed stuff here from fans who think we might want stuff. And my question to you is, once this is mailed to me, what am I supposed to do exactly with this that's been sent to us, which is a really giant photograph of Drew Ski, a fan has said. I don't know what to do with this, though. Where do you have me putting this now that it has been sent to us by a fan? You think I'm going to put it in my bedroom? Like, where? What am I going to do with this now that it's been sent to me?

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

I'm sure there's a garbage can somewhere.

[David Aldridge]

Okay, but that's not very nice. That's not a nice thing to do, Roy. That's a gift from a fan. Like, I'm sure there's a garbage can somewhere.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Oh, you can say thank you before you toss it.

[Trista]

You've already given the fan way more love than he would have expected to she or they sending it to you by giving it this.

[David Aldridge]

But I'm genuinely asking Juju, do you have a suggestion for me on what it is that I should be doing here?

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Yes, sir. Like David said, you already done gave my boy the shout out of a century. Now let's make some money with it. Fans of the show listeners, we're going to auction that bad boy off by the end of the week and I'm going to come up with a contest that helps increase our March Madness contest.

[David Aldridge]

Okay, so I don't get to keep it. We're going to keep it away. So a gift for me is now being sold. That's too bad that I don't get to keep it. Although I handled it more gently than Roy, who dismisses our fans by just saying thank you for your gift. I'm going to throw it immediately in the trash. Top five athletes. These are your favorite athletes or favorite athletes of all time? Favorite athletes right now. What is this list, Juju?

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Yes, sir. Top five right now. Because Friday show when you weren't here, they made a big show of how cool they were. Oh, I'm too cool to have a favorite player. I'm 28 years old. I smoke cigar like no, my imagination has not ran away from me. I still have favorite players, so I want to celebrate them, starting with the Oli Justin Jettas Jefferson. Just a great guy, man. He's just a great example and a winner soon. Other Oli Ernest Jones, the fourth Way cross Georgia. Stand up. I'm from a small town called Waycross, Georgia. He's the third person to make it out of there, so of course I wanted the Seahawks to win. And last, Oli Lamar Jackson. If you are, if you're African American, he's in your Olis no matter what.

[David Aldridge]

He was number 52 on your list of athletes you trust the least in all of sports. He was number.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Different game, Dano.

[David Aldridge]

Totally different game.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Yep.

[David Aldridge]

Number five. Yep.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Number five, Tiffany Hayes. Come on, man, Trista. Push shot. Her shot is amazing, though. It's beautiful. It goes, it's low, starts from the hip and it's beautiful. Number four, Jamar Chase. Come on, man. I love watching Jamar, man. He's so fire. Jamar is cool. I don't know what he got going on off the field, but ain't my business. Number three, Anthony Edwards. What's understood ain't got to be explained, man. He got some off the court stuff, too. I don't know nothing. I didn't talk to anybody. I don't know anything. Number two, my boy, Jalen Brown, man.

[David Aldridge]

Oh, that's high up on the list. I don't think a lot of people have Jalen Brown that high on their list.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Exactly. Jalen Brown was in high school and he was working out with us at Heat Gym in Atlanta. You did so he been my. Come on, how can I not? My boy don't actually did it. Did what he said he was gonna do and more. Come on. Salute to Josh. I mean, salute to Jalen. And number one, I just spilled the beans. Joshua Allen, the first number one on

[David Aldridge]

your list of athletes you trust the least.

[Roy Hibbert]

That's Roy's big.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

I don't trust any of my friends, but he's my favorite.

[David Aldridge]

Do you have any Oscars thoughts for us off of last night?

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Juju, man. First off, peace to Diane Warren, man. She got nominated 17 times and I lost all 17, man. Peace to my sister, bro. You, you at least doing you making it to the big show. You're good enough to be there. Also, peace to my sister, Misty Copeland. She just had a hip replacement surgery in December and came out and did the ballet with with the center's number that came out. So I love that. I also am. I'm not like a mean. I wasn't hoping that Marty supreme didn't win, but I watched Marty supreme over the weekend and I was like, this is the wrong, modest Supreme. I watched. I watched the wrong one. So I'm still waiting to watch the right Marty supreme that's getting all the accolades, you dig? But overall, it was a great night. Come on.

[David Aldridge]

So you didn't like Marty Supreme. You heard a lot of things about why it was nominated and you didn't understand when you were watching the movie, bruh.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

I thought I was going to watch at any second. I thought Interstellar 2 was about to break out of the ping pong table and then all of this was going to make sense, but I just saw a guy being an asshole to everyone and keep winning. And spoiler alert, this is the movie goes off. So it's like, yes, salute to assholes everywhere, but not Oscar worthy.

[David Aldridge]

We're going to update the polls here in a second. What were your thoughts on the inside the NBA conversation we were having for too long today, Juju?

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Yes, sir. I got to keep the same energy, man. I love inside the NBA, but for the same reason I didn't enjoy Pluribus or maybe Marty Supreme. Now, I don't want to see folks complain, bro. Like, I don't want to give my time, my free time to watching someone complain over and over. It's like when you got something very exciting to tell your wife or your partner, you tell her and she's like, that's.

[Chris Webber]

That's cool.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

You're like, wait a. He just robbed me of my joy, like. And so that's what Charles Barkley and them doing, bro. I just watched this fight game and y' all up here poo pooing it. Come on, man. Blake Griffin, my boy Steve Nash doing break dances in front of Taylor Roots these days. I rather watch that than that.

[David Aldridge]

So, juju, do you think that you're suffering from when you watch these Movies, the dilution that come with high expectations, where people. I've said before that one of my favorite movies of all time is the Matrix because I don't like science fiction and I don't like Keanu Reeves. So I expected nothing from that movie. And when I saw it, I was like, oh, holy shit, that was great. Because I had zero expectations. Are you guilty of you're going into all these movies, hearing people talk about them and then you're like, what's all that fuss about?

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Yeah, yeah, for sure. Especially Marty Supreme. I saw Supreme. I saw my boy Chris had a Marty supreme hoodie. I saw my boy Jeremy dressed like Marty yesterday. I heard nothing but glowing reviews. So I'm like, okay, I'm watching it. Let's see it, let's go. And I was thoroughly let down. To your point. If I had watched it on my own, I probably like, oh, that's a. That's a cool little ping pong movie, bro. Like, I get it.

[David Aldridge]

I.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

But I was robbed of that.

[David Aldridge]

But you didn't like one battle after another either, right?

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

No, no, no, no. I like. Oh, I love one battle after another for sure. I thought that was. It kept growing. I watched it into the movie in the movie theater, and by the time they got to the rolling hill, spoiler alert. I was all in. So I think it was pretty cool. Finally found the guy who hates Keanu Reeves.

[Chris Webber]

Jeez.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

I was like, who doesn't like Keanu Reeves? I've always hated him. It was odd admission. Damn.

[David Aldridge]

I just didn't like his movies before that. Let's have the stat of the day, please.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Oh,

[Roy Hibbert]

this is start of the day. Start of the day. It is your start of the day.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Turn it, David.

[Roy Hibbert]

Start of the day. Start of the day.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Roy, Mike, Trista, Chris, let's go. Start of the day, man. Trust the process, people. Joel Embiid has played 485 games in his career. And Joel Embiid has missed 485 games in his career. Back to you, Dano.

[Trista]

It's a rough one.

[David Aldridge]

Yeah. We're at the halfway point on somebody who could be really great if he played more than half of the time.

[Trista]

Not a Hall of Famer.

[David Aldridge]

That is correct. Good, good analysis by you. Let's go ahead and update the polls. Juju at lebar Show. What do we have today?

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Do you know anyone under 100 years old that refers to underwear as skivvies? 85% of the audience says no, they don't.

[Trista]

Damn.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

They just don't have no class or taste.

[Trista]

Dave, it's okay.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Is anticipate. Is anticipating staying home in the evenings the first sign of a person getting old. 92% of the audience says, yes, it is. Damn. Looking forward to tonight. I was happy yesterday.

[David Aldridge]

Right.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

Is calling them evenings the first sign of getting old? 82% of the audience says, yes, it is. Damn it. Plan on having a great evening. Should it be in the handbook of parenting that when you give a score, the higher score comes first? 86% of the audience says, yes, it

[Trista]

should be in the handbook.

[Juju Smith-Schuster]

And the last poll was Chris Farley. Funny. 91% of the audience says, yes, he was. And those are your pose.

[Trista]

Should have been 100 white people and black people.
