Chapter 1: What are the top March Madness picks by JuJu Gotti?
Man, man, man. The best Thursdays in the world. One of them today starts right now. And I'm going with some March Madness picks. You got to know it. You got to dig it. First off, I got to say the beautiful show today, guys. Beautiful show. But neither here nor there just yet. With these Thursday Thunder this week. I got five on it. I'm going with all five seeds, you got to know.
First five seed I'm going with, Michigan, Moneyline. To win the game, you got to know it, you got to feel it. If you don't, get lost. The second seed, or the second number five seed I'm going with is Penny Hardaway and them boys, Anfernee Hardaway, or as my dog Tony like to call him, Anfernee. What you like to call him, Tony? Afreeny. Afreeny Hardaway, you got to know.
I'm going with the Memphis Tigers to win money line. Yadigski. And with the last leg of this Thursday Thunder, I'm going to the Women's League. I'm traveling all the way to Tennessee to my sisters. I think they are going to drag USF tomorrow. I mean, they're going to beat the tar off those ladies. Salute to USF. But I'm taking number five seed Tennessee to win by 19.5 at least tomorrow.
You got to know it. Lock them in.
Juju, I don't know how closely you follow NASCAR or how familiar you were with Ryan Blaney. I'm sure much of our audience is NASCAR agnostic. How'd you like that interview?

Chapter 2: How did JuJu Gotti react to the NASCAR interview?
It was good. It was fun. He was his microphone. I think the NASCAR microphones, they don't work as well as the regular people's mics. Something going on there.
Not sure what's going on there.
I think it was a wonderful segment. He was a great sport. He leaned in. He even answered Dan's awkward question that shocked the world yesterday. Hats off to Buddy. And he does look fantastic in a hat. Oh, he can rock a cap.
What is the worst part of the life? So bad.
Oh, man. And I'm so happy to see we got a celebrity in the building today. One of the most popular celebrities, Andrew Zaslow. Oh, my God. That's why Andrew's atop that celebrity pick-em board. You dig it? My bad. His close friends call him Andrew. Y'all call him Jonathan. But yeah, bro. And I agree with you, bro. White Lotus this season, absolutely nothing has happened, bro. Nothing, nothing.
Good to see you, Juju. I do need to ask, though. When you say that USF is going to get the tar beaten off of them by those Tennessee ladies, can you also salute them while you're saying they're going to get the tar beaten off of them?
Yes, sir. It's required. It's in my contract. You have to salute them after taking a page out of the devil's book and saying they're going to get the tar beat off of them. All right. So, yeah, you got you got to. And the last piece about White Lotus, so much of nothing has happened. Like it's beautiful scenery, wonderful scenery. But so much of nothing has happened that you guys are like.

Chapter 3: What are JuJu Gotti's thoughts on White Lotus this season?
I would say the word, but I can't say the word. You guys are fawning over a Sam Rockwell monologue. That's the most boring thing in the world. The monologue needs to get over itself just a tad bit. Neither here nor there. It was very freaky. Spoiler alert.
Someone else who doesn't seem to like foreplay. Just saying.
I did spend the entire part of that monologue thinking, like most of it was just me thinking to myself, how would I react?
if my one of my close friends was telling me all of that i was envisioning me being in that situation and what i would like i was stunned that walton goggins his character allowed him like there wasn't a single moment in the middle of that where he goes are you effing with me i think he played a pitch perfect it's a lot to absorb but wouldn't you say to your friend at some point are you effing with me right now
Uh, me, perhaps. Yeah, I guess. It depends on the friend.
There'd have been some type of interjection on my part. He did. He made a, uh.
Something.
We talk White Lotus this, White Lotus that, like Thursday, best Thursday of the year right here. And we're talking about White Lotus for six hours and kissing and let's focus on hoops. How about that, Juju?
Yeah, because today is legally contractually the first day that we were allowed to talk about White Lotus because it's been the allotment of days. But speaking of hoops, I saw that you guys had a segment at the end of the segments discussing the Boston Celtics trade. I mean, the sale of the Boston Celtics. And I heard my brother Andrew Zaslow talking about how they're relocating. Yeah.

Chapter 4: How do the Miami Heat compare to the Boston Celtics historically?
Yeah, they need to relocate. And I just want to just, you know, just put some accoutrement in the air just to remind my brother that the Heat still have a ways to go before they even matter. You know what I mean? Some would say that that Jimmy Butler trade rivals the Nico Harrison trade. And if they said that, they'd be wrong.
Okay, but we do need to acknowledge, Juju, the Heat can't do anything about them not being born while the Celtics were winning all those titles. Because since the Miami Heat have existed, they've won more titles than the Boston Celtics. That's the only way we can measure those two franchises. The Heat can't do anything about not being alive in the 60s and 70s.
The Heat have won more titles than the Celtics since 1988.
Speaking of being born and alive during the 70s and 60s, happy birthday, Pat Riley. I don't know if we got to that today, but happy birthday to the big dog.
Happy birthday to him. I don't care. Good luck.
Some would say that this might should be the last birthday that he occupies this position because the Heat are definitely not in the right place. I don't put too much stock into the draft positioning and all of that because you only get one Cooper flag per draft. You only get one victory win beyond that you missed out to go to the play in the championship. So, yeah, get well soon. Tony was right.
You feel me? Yep. Congratulations. Yep. What did it cost you? Everything. But now, but back to Tony, though, speaking of the season of basketball, I got my top five March Madness moments in the history of Middle Earth. Oh, let's do this. Yes, sir. Oh, well, I because it was the Big East Championship. Kemba Walker crosses up a buddy from Pittsburgh fadeaway.
The absolute that was electric. That's what got my my brother into basketball. He became briefly a Charlotte Bobcats fan because Kemba Walker was there because the first tournament he ever watched included that shot going into the tournament.
Got your brother into basketball. It did. Fun fact.

Chapter 5: What are JuJu Gotti's top five March Madness moments?
People care. People care about me in disguise, all right? That was not nice, I feel. No one's nice to me. That was not nice by Chris. That was very condescending. A little? Why are they being mean to you today? Today? I mean, listen, I'm here today. This is what I'm noticing. It's constant.
But he does have the golden vocal cords. You know what I mean? He's blessed up with some bangers. Salute to Jeremy Taché and the singing voice. Number five, Chris Webber's timeout. Yeah, man. Fab five against North Carolina. That timeout heard around the world. It ended one of the most epic runs in the history of basketball.
Number four. By the way, I loved Michigan growing up. I was way into the Fab Five. When they won the national title in 88, Glenn Rice. So from that point on, I was a Michigan kid. And then we get to the early 90s there. I was heartbroken when Weber called that timeout.
Jeremy, how was your brother? How did your brother handle that? He was just absolutely crushed.
Number four, Jimmy Valvano's NC State slays Houston at the buzzer for the national title. And he runs around the court. Oh, my God. I see that every day almost. But what a moment for the world.
He's looking for somebody to hug. Running around that court. Can't find anybody to hug.
Right. Luscious locks, too. Just flowing in the wind. Just flowing. Number three, Christian Laettner from Grant Hill. Touchdown, Duke. Yeah. What a moment. Unless you hate Duke. I'm sorry, Taylor Vipolis, but that was a great moment.
Yeah, my brother really hated that one.
Number two, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. The Tony Yayo heard around the world. That will go down as one of the biggest moments in women's sports history. It sparked a new age of WNBA basketball, now unrivaled hatred. Like, oh, my God. Salute to all the sisters around the world who made their rivals last. You dig it.
