So I'm standing in solidarity with you, Big Brother. Let's go New York. Thank you. I stand in solidarity with Juju as well at DLS Hoops after the game. Tony evidently will also be there wearing his con shirt. And Juju and Trista will be there after Knicks Cavs. Juju, I got to play something for you, all right? I didn't get to it earlier. In the middle of the game last night, the Spurs in Thunder. Carter Bryant, he's a rookie for the Spurs. The bench player played a little bit last night. Did you see this? Look at this for the visual audience. He goes to a public bathroom. Can't be real. It's 100% real. He's in full uniform, washes his hands. Good for him. He use soap, paper towel, throws it away. In the public bathroom, in the middle of the game. And obviously, people were shocked in there. Someone took their phone out and is recording it. Juju, did you see this? Yes, sir, man. He better be glad he was in OKC, because I feel like the New York fans would not have let him leave that bathroom. So I'm just guessing on what happened there. But it must have been like the visitor's locker room is a longer walk than one of those luxury clubs for the people who have seats on the floor. So he decided to duck into the bathroom. That's how it would be for the heat. 100%, those bathrooms right underneath are way closer than even the home locker room, no matter which side you're on for the bench. So it makes sense. I'm just surprised to see him doing that in the middle of the game. Middle of the game. Super bizarre. Thing is, you go into those bathrooms. You got your hoop shoes on. Obviously, the floor is pristine in an NBA court. But you're stepping next to the urinal. People got the piss all over the place. And you got the piss on your shoes. And then you do the thing where you dry your shoes. Watch this move there. A rookie moved by him. He might be a rookie. He takes the paper towel, throws it in the garbage. You got to take that to the door to open the door. That's true. It might be a push door. It better be a push door. It might be a push door. But then you got the pee on the bottom of your shoes. Then you try to dry your shoes with your hands. You got the pee on your hands. Oh. Strange. Now there's Pepe on that mat. There's Pepe on the mat. Juju, you know about that Pepe on the mat? I definitely know about that Pepe on that mat. Juju, let's get to some polls. What do you got for us? Wait, hold on. Before we do that, I want to make sure that we make this clear. Because there's dominoes that we can get to, Juju. So before we get to these polls, I want to think about this. But that domino meme that we broke out yesterday, if we have Carter Bryant stepping into this bathroom, getting pee on his shoes, if late in this series, Wemby is sick, can we draw a direct line from one to the next? Can this potentially ruin the series? I think this is a big question that we have to ask here, Juju. Yeah, great question. Next poll for sure. It might be why SGA is slipping all the time. It's not a great question. Is it a great question? I appreciate, Juju, that you're a supportive teammate. It's not a great question. Do you know what is being said when someone mentions Larry Johnson's four point play? 56% of the audience says, uh-uh, they don't. Do you still use pens? 92% of the audience says, yes. And last poll, bigger story. New York winning the championship or Wemby winning the championship? 70% of the audience says, go New York, go New York, go. And those are your polls. Juju, do you have a rooting interest going the rest of the way? Like, is there something that you want to happen? I kind of want Gotham to burn at this point. My team is out and they're assed. And I'm in the portal, by the way. Too many threes. I'm in the portal. But New York or San Antonio, preferably New York for sure. You've quit Boston? You've quit? I'm in the portal. I haven't quit them yet. I still got a couple of deals over there. I got some raising canes deals and stuff like that. But I'm just fulfilling the obligations. Taking in his options. I like it. Thank you, Juju. Nobody here wants to hear my thoughts anymore on late night television, but I'm going to give them anyway, because I believe tonight is a special and unusual night in the history of television. And it also hurts me as low, because I'm a little bit sad, because I discovered late night television at a time that there weren't many options on television. It wasn't through the Tonight Show. It was through the Letterman Show. And 30 years disappears tonight, because that theater and everything that was happening on that show was handed over from Letterman to Colbert. And tonight, this is not something that happens very often, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are taking the night off. They are going dark so that the entire audience can go to Colbert, who is, I think we can say, the jester for our times in the way that he is being sort of run off the air as the number one show. And it's being said, it's for financial reasons, but it also seems like it's for government reasons and because of everything that is changing at CBS. And so the number one show in late night television, a very expensive show, is going away, and they're not replacing it. So that institution started by Letterman, who introduced me to stand up comedy, because I was seeing Jay Leno for the very first time pre-internet, and I was seeing stand up comedy for the very first time, because the Tonight Show is not something that I watched. Letterman was the show that I watched, and I just didn't even understand how something was on in the middle of the night that way. When Johnny Carson retired before Jimmy Fallon desecrated the legacy of that show, 50 million people watched the retirement of Johnny Carson. And I don't think, even if you get the entirety of the late night audience, given the way we consume materials these days, that you will get anything close to that number, even if he has the whole late night audience, because everybody's watching this by clips now. But what Colbert did was very important, and more important than ever, it feels like, during these times, because the way to reach people when it comes to politics and criticism, the most effective way to reach them, is with funny. It is not with the mistake that I'm perpetually making of strident and obnoxious and sermonizing and yelling at you. Funny is the way to reach people, and Colbert somehow managed to properly respect and honor with great funny and nobility, the legacy that Letterman left as somebody who was a late night institution, back when that was a thing that mattered. As much as I love Conan O'Brien, who I think is a legitimate genius, he had never had a TV appearance of any kind before he started hosting late night television, and in the swirl of replacing Letterman at 1230, among the people who turned it down the assignment were Gary Shandling and John Stewart and Dana Carvey. All of them were offered that, but once Letterman ends up going to CBS, everybody really left while I was talking about this, and it's only a lonely Chris Cody who sits here to tell me to keep my head on the ball. It's only you who stays here staring at me as everyone. No one here is interested in what I have to say about this. No one who I am paying is interested. You won't even look at me. I'm gonna just have to end the show talking to myself, sort of lonely about how much I appreciate what is happening tonight, something that, you guys are really gonna leave me alone to talk by myself about late night television. This is insulting. There's a general lack of respect around here that makes me question both my leadership and the decision to create a media company in general during these times. Assholes. You snuck back in to do that?
