We have a couple of telephone numbers.

And if you want life advice questions or just general thoughts around the show, you could call Juju now. who's doing some stuff for us with a phone line.

It's JuJuNow is the telephone number, but those are just letters, so the numbers are 650-585-8669 if you wanna call JuJu Gotti. We have a bit of news here that we are about to break in the form of song, Zaslo. So are you ready for this news that we're about to break? I don't think that we've broken news before in the form of song, so let's hear what we've got here.

Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Sexy as hell. That's Ernie Johnson. He always introduces himself that way. How do I look? He's a narcissist. Everyone knows this about him. What? He's also at the center of the greatest sports television show there has ever been. And it is the most like family that you will find anywhere on television. Ernie Johnson with us. Thank you, Ernie, as always, making the time for us.

The reason we're having you on, even though you've had such a successful career, is just to confirm or deny that Shaq did indeed poop himself as he ran off the set the other day.

Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
That didn't look like the gate, as you pointed out, as it was happening of a number one. That was the penguin walk, a seven-foot penguin walk of a man dabbling in number two, dangerously.

Do you ever get mad at them because you do such a great job of policing and patrolling an area with respect? Do you ever get mad that they're so unprofessional that you're like, what are you guys doing? You've crossed the line here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
What do you regard as the closest thing on television to what you guys do? History of you doing it.

I have some rapid-fire questions for you here. Just quick, fill in the blank.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
What time do you finish on the average NBA postseason night? What time do you leave the studio? 145. How quickly do you get to sleep after that?

Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
What time do you wake up in the morning?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
How tired are you by the end of the postseason?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
It's a lot more work before the show than it is during the show. I would imagine that you're the one doing most of that work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
You are overprepared by what, 90%? The best shows are leaving how much on the notebook that never gets on the air?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
How are you not more efficient than this at this point in your career? How is it possible that you're still this bad at this?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
It's funny to think, though, that the best, the very best, they're always overprepared. If I told you Eric Reid, the Heat broadcaster, what he has to do before game 79 of the regular season, and it's just for your comfort level, right, Ernie? Or is it just patterns? At this point, my guess is that you could pretty much go in there and wing it.

You couldn't emotionally, but we wouldn't be able to tell.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
I've always found you refreshingly honest and transparent. And I don't want to put you in a bad spot as it regards everything that's happening with your show. What can you say to us that's not talking points about what the last year of discomfort has been around the general uncertainty of your employer?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Did you say very early before, during the uncertainty, before anyone else had said anything, there is no circumstance under which I will be working for anybody else?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Oh, yeah, it would be.

Do you think that the three-pointer has distorted basketball so much that we're going to get a lot more uninteresting basketball games decided by 15 points in the playoffs instead of buzzer beaters and close games at the end because of how much the game has been distorted by the three?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Seems like there are fewer close games the last couple of years of playoffs. But I'm just doing that from view. I'm not doing that empirically.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
What's the surprise you're expecting to happen that is going to be a surprise to others but Ernie thinks will be so? Detroit beating New York. Any upsets?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Ernie has said it it's been said do not sleep on the Pacers he doesn't do this stuff casually when Ernie says it it means more than the average person saying it you don't hear Ernie saying things like that

Lakers getting out of the first round? Yes. Giannis staying in Milwaukee next year?

Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Yeah, sorry.

Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
The team that is better than Boston is OKC. I just think I believe in what that team has done in the regular season, but I also believe that most people think that team is too young to win the championship. Teams that young do not win the championship.

Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
Do you expect that the Boston Celtics will be in the finals?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
All right. I'm sorry I called you a coward. That's okay. I've been called worse. You see the guys I work with? You displayed cowardice.

Serenaded by Taylor is better punctuation than anybody. I thought that was her.

Congratulations, Jess. You have parlayed an assortment of journalistic accomplishments bigger than both Cody's and Zaslow's into a New York move that will still have you around. This is goodbye to Miami, not goodbye to the show.

I'm not getting emotional.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: Start Spreadin' The News (feat. Ernie Johnson)
It seems like you're emotional. I don't know whether it's Cam Ward or Jessica.

Tequila, that invented tequila. I was headed to the wrong Monty's.

It's hard to explain to her how... It's hard to explain to anybody how it was just broken pipes and nothing.

It was a bomb threat. And... And you had to move out of your original house because the neighbors were awful.
