Hungry. Why don't you go get something to eat? Before I pass out? Yes, go get something. I mean, he eats every five minutes. I know. Diamonds smell like pee-pee. When Dominique is hungry, it is unbearable. Go yellow. That changes my notes there. No, we've already started. It's okay, Juju. It's all right. I'll bring him back at some point. We've already started here because... I'm just so resentful of Dominique and how he can eat...

as much as he can. Yes, well, I wanted to discuss this for a second because he's got, and Charlie, you produce him. It's not just that he's got a crazy metabolism, just insane. It's also that he will get angry if he does not eat every three hours. It'll be, and he was like after every segment, not every three hours. No, and I don't think he gets angry about much else. I think hunger is like, I mean, he's pretty stoic. He's not like angry. He gets like very testy.

Like you can just see the entire mood change and it's, yeah, I have to bring him snacks. I've brought him snacks many times for recording. Like if he's, if it's like Pablo taking advantage of Dominique and making him do Pablo Torre finds out after he's done get up before he's going to do his own show, he needs to be brought a cookie in the metal arc, New York studio.

A symphony of narcissism and ego is what the show has been called today. Juju, I'm surprised you're not exhausted after last night's merriment well into the night. The basketball purist in you, the fan in you must love this.

in some ways that Indiana at least provides us with the greatest thing that sports gives us, which is the surprise. If it's the underdog or the surprise are the best thing. So finally, the NBA gets a story here three games in that is the most interesting of the stories because it's not even as interesting if the Pacers are up 3-0. Pacers up 2-1 gets people more interested in a series that they might not have been interested in.

Right. And I got on these airwaves yesterday and I guarantee that the Pacers would not win no more games. And now look at me, egg yolk everywhere over here. You're not the only one, but it's the greatest thing, right? This is so special in Indiana because I said a couple of weeks ago that this is the best Pacers team there's been.

it's the best Pacers team of our lifetime. And it was like, no, Reggie Miller, et cetera, et cetera. Well, this one's closer to a championship than any that has ever existed. And what they're doing over the last 64 games or so is winning at a rate that is championship level. So they are shutting a lot of people up through three games. Can we get to Thursday Thunder, though? Because this has been – I've hurt for Juju here. He keeps going two for three. So I'm just telling you that the Thursday Thunder is a bundle of

But bet these individually. Because if you were betting them individually, you'd be winning at about a 70% cliff. Kiss of death. Well, okay. But fine. But fine. The last parlay of three legs, you know what he had in game one? He had OKC Moneyline. It was the easy part of the parlay. I called him a cow.

a coward for doing it. Sure did. And right between the eyes, Halliburton. Right at the end. Oh, never mind. All right, let's do Thursday Thunder. Thursday Thunder is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Take it away, Juju.

Yes, sir. Welcome back. Welcome back. First leg of the parlay. I'm going with the reggaeton superstar himself, T.J. McConnell for over 6.5 points. Bring it to me. Nice thunder, Roy. He got that look in his eyes. You guys had the timing right on that one. You rarely do.

And the second leg, I'm going with Halliburton over 4.5 rebounds. Give it to me, Roy.

And for the last leg, I'm going with the Lost Da Barge brother. You may have seen him on an R&B video. You may have seen him trotting out for the Pacers. But Ben Shepard, over 2.5 points this Friday. Roy, give it to me.

Is that the best you've heard on Shepard? Surely a lot of people are sort of mocking that he doesn't much look like an NBA player. And it's just the mustache and it's just the elder barge in the mustache. Have you heard any other what's the best of the commentary we've the Internet has given us on Shepard?

I think that's the top one right there. A lot of people say he look like a plumber with the Mario Luigi references. People have Photoshop hats on him. That mustache, you can do a lot. He definitely like he could change your oil as well, like very quickly. You know what I mean? Neither here nor there. I believe it's both here and there. Can you tell me T.J. McConnell looks more like a Benedict than Benedict looks like a T.J. McConnell?

100%. His hair stays perfect. Just like, what was that, Marv Alva back in the days? Hair never moved. Yeah, it was weird how that happened. Made you wonder. It did make you wonder. Do you think, I meant to ask L. Duncan this, and I did not in L. Yes or L. No, but the Lynx and the Liberty being this much better than everyone else, is that good or bad?

I mean, it was good until last night. The Seattle Storm actually took down the Lynx last night and gave them their first loss of the year. And I think at the end of the game, Caleb and Brian forgot that they're playing for the Commissioner's Cup. So the unwritten rules where you're

up by a convincing amount, but you still take that last layup at the buzzer. My sister Erica Willard took the layup at the buzzer. K-Mac got real mad, threw the ball like, oh, this is unprofessional. But the Commissioner's Cup goes off a point differential. So she might have

Put herself in Joker of the day contention with that technical foul. Did we put ourselves in Joker of the day contention with that Mark Kregel interview? Nah, it was okay. Like it just,

I think the most important thing that we uncovered was Roy, as we love you, brother. We love you. You know, if anybody touch you, we got your back. But I don't know how we can call you a writer without writing any articles. It's a controversial opinion. I know. I wrote an op-ed.

After you were granted access into a writer's association. That's not what the committee chair says. Turns out, in a vacuum, most people find that odd. We're efforting to get the committee chair. And I know what an obit is, but Jeremy Taché does not know what an obit is. Could you please explain to him? It's an opinion piece, an editorial piece.

Oh, wow. So no facts. Okay. But neither here nor there. When Dominique is in, he usually takes control of the whole show, and he likes to do a little thing at the end of each show each week, the end of show award. Yes. So I want to bring that back for today. It's been a great week. Yeah. Where I start off today, the best revelation award today goes to Roy Likes Manfeet. Yeah. No, Roy does not like Manfeet. Yeah.

No, no, no. Roy does not like Murphy at all. No, zero. You're a big Sidney Crosby guy. I know that to be true. No, no, absolutely not. I mean, we had a show today that had a sentence that's never been uttered before. Impressive.

Can I give him an award out, please? Yeah. Best impersonation. Charlie Kravitz's. Got us off on the right foot. Got us off on the right foot. Good start. Good start. I'll give a writer of the day award to Roy. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Can we play where Colin was right?

No, no, no. Cutest cast member goes to Roy. Thanks to L. Duncan. He's a little writer, baby. Good job, bro. Good job, baby. Good job, bro. Top Greg goes to Chris. Thank you, man.

Top Greg. Top Greg right there. Congratulations, Greg. And the most obvious position ever taken on the show goes to Jess. Thank you very much. Going out on a limb there. I would like to give most likable cast member

Michael Ryan Ruiz. Yeah! I don't agree with the award. I disagree. Be like Mike! Be like Mike! Get him some more food so he keeps lashing. Be like Mike! Diamonds smell like BP. Diamonds look like BP. Diamonds look like BP. Good range today from you, Dominique. Poll questions at

At Levitard Show, Juju, what do you like? I thought a great revelation from last night all of a sudden was Jemele Hill telling us she's got Cher in her phone. How did that happen?

How did that happen? Did she just volunteer it? Because I'd volunteer it at all times. But Cher in her phone, that's a shocking revelation, is it not? Do you guys have that from last night? Well, I guess I blew the punchline, so you don't have to play it. The idea that Cher was in her phone, what kind of world is Jemele Hill trafficking in as I walk through a parking garage every day after having my controversy with ESPN? And you big time. Big time and dominating phone.

Well, and she said that Cher texted her. That she didn't even have the number. I thought she said that Cher reaching out. I thought it was a friend sent her Cher's number, which could be a prank. Like, that's not really Cher. What do you mean I big-timed you, Dominique? So I left my computer at my hotel, and so the computer was being delivered by Uber. I'm outside waiting for my computer to be delivered. I see a handsome man drive by in sunglasses and a convertible.

And I say, what up, Dan? You didn't even turn your neck. You just shot me with the Chuck Me the Deuces. Hey, you got more roll? I'm like, damn. I think you are. I just didn't know it was you. I just thought somebody was shouting my name. Oh, another day driving to work. Someone's shouting my name. Hey, what's up? How's it going? Peace, son. I'm an ally. Ba-ba-ba.

He's a big time writer just like me. I'm an ally. Yep, that's what you do. That kind of thing. No, that's what I do. That's you, Dan. I'm an ally. Wait, do I have the best Dan impression of the day? I'm an ally. It looks like we've got a league challenger for best Dan impersonation. Charlie's already in the clubhouse. Best Dan impersonation goes to Mike. Yay! Yay!

Good job, Mike. Good job. Good job, Mike. Big win. Are you excited that college football is headed towards private equity? 80% of the audience says no, they are not. Is there anything that you could be excited about is headed towards private equity? It's so funny, though. Get ready to learn PIF. It's so ridiculous.

Was Alexander the Great a mama's boy? 90% of the audience says yes, he was. Highlight of that interview. You guys see that Jared Leto story? No. What happened? The most obvious thing ever. Okay, look it up. You don't really have to. It says everything. Do you hate leftovers? Who says that? Right. 80% of the audience says no, they don't.

And those are your polls. Also, rest in peace to Ananda Lewis, MTV VJ. Thank you for mentioning that. Great person. Yeah, absolutely. That was a big part of a lot of people's childhood. Yes, sir. Just on a lighter, lighter note, just real quick in terms of the highlight of today's show, if you had to pick just one, the echoing and eternal babying of the pity in Al Duncan's voice when... Aww.

when offered that Roy wrote something, that level of condescension and honesty and vulnerability seemed to be the most honest thing that happened today, but also pathetic. Well, at least she vocalized it instead of carrying out a first segment not doing it to his face. 41 years old, man. 41-year-old writer. Oh, hey, what's up, Greg? Damn it.
