Transcript

[A]

Foreign.

[B]

That's right. It's Thursday Thunder. Read it and it's presented by fire. I mean DraftKings. DraftKings. The crown is yours.

[C]

Yes, sir. Thursday thunder. MAN 1 Away once more last week, man. I hate being the one away kid, man. But luckily I. I am having the best week of gambling known to mankind.

[D]

Gambling.

[C]

So you feel me? So we going to start off with tonight Donovan Mitchell over 25.5 points in a must win to me. Bounce back game versus the Pistons second leg. I'm going with the veteran, the contract year slayer, Tobias Harris for over 15 points. Lock that in. Next leg, Austin Reeves. P U. Last game. So I'm expecting my brother to correct that and get 15 points tonight in the game against the Thunder. Still gonna catch that L. But lastly, Marcus Smart. Four assists. Lock him in, man.

[E]

Not bad Juju. I like it.

[A]

You don't think Austin Reed is gonna be put in that torture chamber with the warden named Kayson Wallace? He had the cuffs on him, Austin. We've never seen that in his life.

[C]

He hadn't. But he also ain't never seen this type of scrutiny online for people saying that he shouldn't have came back. So I think he at least gonna do what he can do to get to that free throw line.

[D]

Juju, you're a learned man, a deep soul. Answer me this. I'm excited for the game that will the rubber match going on in the desert. The Diamondbacks and the Pirates trying to settle that series. I'm excited now at 20 and 17 for the Pittsburgh Pirates. When is it too soon to be looking at the baseball standings?

[C]

Too soon is any time before June in my opinion because I don't seen people go on streaks. I done seen people put together wins here and there but then start stinking it up. Come hot outside time. Salute to the Atlanta Braves. So give it a little bit more time.

[B]

I feel like it's the fourth of July. That's when I do it. Like when. When they're doing the hot dog contest. That's when I'll check in on the season.

[D]

What's the quarter? We're just about at the quarter of the regular season.

[B]

Marlins were kind of hanging in there and now they're taking a big fart.

[D]

Dang. Nice weekend.

[E]

You know about that big fart, Jeremy.

[F]

Not nice weekend ahead here against the Nationals and then a road trip that you can turn in on Marlins tv where I will be in Minnesota as the sideline reporter for the broadcast.

[E]

Wow. How many trips are you making this?

[F]

This is my one and only. And I've never been on a road trip with the team before, so I'm very.

[E]

Why is the marvel. Why is this the case?

[F]

Because they assigned me to this road trip.

[B]

I'm picturing Jeremy, like, walking down the aisle of the plane, and it's like, players like, can I sit? And then they're all, can I sit with you? They're mo their bags to like, sorry, not here, buddy.

[C]

Can I sit with you guys? One word. Okay.

[F]

Really looking for. I'm actually really looking forward to kind of just wandering around Minnesota on my day off.

[G]

You would.

[F]

Great city.

[D]

Wait. Find out that you sleep in the nude?

[F]

Just on occasion. My preference would be to sleep wearing briefs. That's me. But if I had to choose between nude or wearing basketball shorts. My issue with the basketball shorts is if I move around, they're going to ride up and. And then I'm going to wake up because of that. I'd rather just sleep nude.

[E]

All right, Juju, do you have a top five for us here today?

[C]

Yes, sir, man. When y' all was talking to David Sampson about people who could break into coverage, I was thinking a list. A list, a list. But then you also mentioned we should maybe take a look at fringe people who could break into coverage. So I got top five fringe celebs that I allowed to break into my NBA finals coverage.

[E]

Okay. All right.

[C]

Oh, well, I. Corey Feldman. Come on, come on. Salute to the fail dog.

[A]

Now, is he doing his Michael Jackson impression?

[C]

When he cuts in 1000%, he is wearing glove going a hundred down La Brea. Also, Oli Queen, Latifah. Boy, if I saw Queen on the street running, I'm locked in. Number five, Tyrese Gibson. That one's happening.

[A]

That one is on the schedule somewhere.

[C]

Number four, Shane Gillis. If my boy on the run locked me in, I'm tuned in.

[A]

Does he now. Does he have a microphone while he's doing it? Because I kind of want to hear

[C]

what he has to say. And he got. He got his mustache. That one commercial, he ain't had no mustache. I ain't know what to do with myself. But number three, Seth Rogan. Number two, Joe Rogan. I'm definitely tuned into that, man. And the number one person, unfortunately, and this is my first time saying this name since all this started, man, because I'm a loyal person. But if my sister Diana get on that highway, God damn, they breaking. The news won't stop.

[E]

There you go, Juju. Can we give out some post show awards today?

[C]

Oh, yes, sir, man. First and foremost, I want to give the Player Hater award for his NBA take last night to Dave Damshek. That was a good game, man.

[D]

I'm just telling the truth, Juju. Sorry to hurt feelings.

[C]

Congrats. You won an award.

[G]

And Little Jack.

[C]

Yeah. However, though, I still would like to give the Firefighter award to Chris Cody.

[B]

Damn.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

That's great.

[D]

He's not a firefighter, though.

[B]

I was last night.

[C]

He wishes. Hello. I like to give the best Mortal Kombat preview award to my brother, Mike Ryan.

[E]

Good job.

[C]

Finish him. Uppercut, Tiger style. And next, I would like to give the MMA Hangout this Saturday award to my brother, Tony. Yes, sir. And my brother, Lewis. Yeah. Yes, sir. You got to know, man. And lastly, I like to give the Holy Draws Award as well as the Pulitzer Award to my brother, Amina. Keep wearing them holy dress, bro. You bought them.

[E]

Good work. Let's do some polls. Any polls that we need to update for today, Juju.

[C]

Yes, sir, man. While I pull it up, I will agree with y' all from earlier. Nick Nurse is a wizard. And I think he found something with Barlow last night. If Embiid is healthy and you can play Barlow alongside of me. Embiid. Now you got something. A lot. I like Barlow. Do dreams really mean things? 56 of the audience says yes.

[B]

They do split.

[C]

Do you enjoy movie theater seats that move along with the movie, aka the 4dx? 67% of the audience says no, they don't.

[G]

I'm actually in that group of 67%. I don't like it.

[C]

Yeah.

[G]

But I think for this movie, it'll be fun.

[F]

It's for the right movie. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Is Miami a better living experience than Orlando? 61% of the audience says yes, it is. And last poll, the most important poll. Does Dave Damshek's wiener look like Jack Nicholson at the end of the Shining? 96% of the audience says yes. Whoa. Those are your polls.

[B]

Good job.

[C]

Congratulations. Good job for your wiener.

[G]

4%.

[C]

Prove it.

[D]

All right, let's do it. Here we go. It's going to work its way around the material.

[G]

Here's Johnny.
