Juju, you have been resplendent in your patriotism today. Resplendent is the word I meant to say there. You have been draped in old glory and you've been very patriotic just throughout the last two weeks. What were the things that we didn't get to today, Olympic wise, that you wanted to get to? Anything that we didn't discuss today? Steve Kerr.

I understand you have a game plan, brother. But if you can find minutes for Derek White, you can find minutes for JT. At first, I was on Steve Kerr's side because those Serbian matchups, they are kind of gruesome and a bit – you need a specific type out there. But for these games, I feel like Jason Tatum is getting a lot more attention for not playing because of Steve Kerr, bro. Like, if you come out and just –

I don't know. I didn't like how that was or how that went at all. Well, I will say that while watching the game, to your point, because Steve Kerr wasn't playing him and because I always assume Steve Kerr has a reason for doing something like that that's strategic and not petty...

I felt like when Jason Tatum was in the game against France that the U.S. was worse. I did feel – but I wouldn't have come to that appraisal if not for Steve Kerr benching him to put that in my mind because I wouldn't have been watching that way otherwise. What was his plus minus in the game, Chris? Get that for us before the end of the segment if you don't mind because –

To my eyes, it seemed like Tatum was hurting them out there. Yeah, you're right about that. But like you said, it's magnified because you didn't play him at all in certain games. I see the same thing happening with Cheryl Reeve and the women. Like I said, BG got six minutes yesterday. Jewel Lloyd didn't even touch the floor yesterday. But it's not a big controversy because you've seen them out there playing and it's

Well, to me, it's a controversy. Don't get me started because I think we should have played him. But I think that Steve Curry, he didn't help out Jason Tatum at all during this process. Nobody cares about Halliburton not playing, huh? Nobody got mad about that? Everybody was like, yeah, Halliburton shouldn't play. Right. He knows. Halliburton is just like us, brother. Just be happy to be here. He is a representation of us over there being around those legends.

What was the criticism of today's show? We have gotten away over the last couple of weeks during the Olympics doing the spliff notes criticism from the audience. What is the audience saying about today's show? Man, it was a lot of polls on today's show, so I haven't necessarily seen a lot of hate other than the questions we're asking online.

And they do not believe, they can't believe that the Sizzler still exists, number one. Number two, they think that Steph Curry should be on the $3 bill. I think that's one of the best ideas we've ever had in this show history. A $3 bill with Steph Curry on it like this. Oh, my God. It is a good idea. Stugatz's suggestion, we are all surprised when Stugatz does that. Stugatz was right? Holy, Stugatz was right. Oh!

We also getting in a lot of people think our brother, let's respect on this brother's name, Ian O'Connor. A lot of people thank you for that, brother. I'm so sorry. You have a magnificent book. Go grab it.

Jason Tatum was minus five while he was out there. So, I mean, they were sloppy turning the ball over and stuff. Like, I didn't think that France should have stayed in that game. Salute to them for staying in that game. They just guaranteed, though, in my opinion –

that the Celtics will come out barring injury. Next year will be just as fierce for them next year because you got an angry Jalen Brown, you got an angry Jason Tatum coming back now. And I think that's what we needed from the Celtics moving forward into this next year where everybody's just ramping up. I would have loved to have seen Denver playing defense.

against Boston. I would have just, I would have really enjoyed seeing Boston tested that way because of Jokic, right? Because of how absurd Jokic is on all fronts. You're going to miss the Olympics, right? Because you got swept away by this. You and Jessica, I think were more, you, Jessica and Izzy were more enthusiastic about this than anyone else out here, I thought.

Bro, middle of the daytime, I'm sitting here watching the slalom from the kayakers, or I'm watching the balance beam, or I'm watching the magnificent sisters in the volleyball. I think we got gold on volleyball, and our brothers got bronze. I'm watching entire volleyball matches from brothers. I was locked in on every single sport, the divers, the badminton.

I have had so much joy being patriotic. And it's not just for America. I was so proud of the Moroccan brothers, the South Korean brothers and sisters on the bad men team. I was just I was enthralled in sports over the past couple of weeks. And I thank you, America. Thank you, NBC. Thank you, Peacock.

I really appreciate it. You did a really exceptional job on our social media. There was a lot of clever stuff, a lot of artistic stuff, a lot of fun and funny stuff. So thank you for that, Juju. Yes, sir. And thank you so much. And our women got silver and not gold. Sorry about that.
