Speaker 1:
[00:02] The 2026 Chevy Equinox is more than an SUV. It's your Sunday tailgate and your parking lot snack bar. Your lucky jersey, your chairs, and your big cooler fit perfectly in your even bigger cargo space. And when it's go time, your 11.3-inch diagonal touch screens got the playbook, the playlist, and the tech to stay a step ahead. It's more than an SUV, it's your Equinox. Chevrolet, together let's drive.

Speaker 2:
[00:36] That's right, it's Thursday Thunder, and it's presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. JuJu, what do we got?

Speaker 3:
[00:45] The playoffs are rolling on, baby. And tonight, I'm going with Colin Murray Boyles for over 8.5 points tonight for the Raptors. He's been stepping up lately. They're gonna need him. I don't know if they're gonna get the win, though. Next leg, I'm going with my boy Christian Brown, man, for over 11.5 points tonight. They've been talking a lot of trash over there in Minnesota about they can't do this, they can't do that. I think he's gonna be one of the boys that step up for the Nuggets. And lastly, for my Timberwolves, I'm going with Ayo Don Sumo, man, for over 11.5 points tonight. Lock it in, man.

Speaker 4:
[01:30] Ayo. All right, there you go. So speaking of which, this leads me to, I think, a pretty relevant question. So we have our NFL Draft livestream tonight, courtesy of Bucked Up. It's gonna be a lot of fun. We're going live at 730, 730p Eastern, sounds right.

Speaker 2:
[01:47] So 745 will be live.

Speaker 4:
[01:49] 745 p.m. Eastern will be live tonight. So you want to make sure you hang out with us this evening. But my question is, you know, we got a bunch of monitor, we got a bunch of monitors here, we got a bunch of screens in the studio. We got Stanley Cup playoffs, we got NBA playoffs. Like, I would like to also keep track of Knicks and Hawks. That's at 7 tonight. Nuggets and Timberwolves, that's at 930. So are we going to be able to kind of monitor everything still? Yes.

Speaker 2:
[02:17] I'll just give you a flat yes. I'm not sure exactly which TV to be on, but I'll get you your games.

Speaker 4:
[02:21] I mean, I don't need the NFL draft on every screen in here. Guys, this is a very important question. How do you normally like to enjoy your draft? And I will start with you, Mike. And what I mean by that is, Drunk. I stay off of Twitter. I don't want anyone spoiling. Don't tip any picks to me, all right? So I'm giving a disclaimer right now. If any of you like to have your picks tipped, you better stay away from me because I don't play that game.

Speaker 5:
[02:53] I like them tipped. Tipping on vo-vos.

Speaker 6:
[02:57] It's a tough one because we have to have our computers out, our phones out. We're following the action. And I got all these primetime players on mobile alerts.

Speaker 4:
[03:05] You're following the action by watching the draft.

Speaker 6:
[03:07] I'm following all the action, boss. What if there's a trade? Yeah, like one of the great feelings in life is being like, oh man, huge trade. Let me tell you about it. Being the first, man, that's better than sex.

Speaker 4:
[03:19] I got news for you. When there's a trade, they put it on the draft. You will see it.

Speaker 2:
[03:24] Yeah, but I thought these guys at first, I thought they've stopped reporting picks, right? We're not talking about picks, are we? Like, Shepter's not tweeting out picks before.

Speaker 4:
[03:30] People for the broadcast, and the broadcast is ESPN, right? So ESPN's people won't do that, but there are people from other outlets, they don't give a shit. Like, they're gonna tweet out the picks if they get it.

Speaker 3:
[03:41] Yeah, you gotta turn the noties off tonight, I think, because every now and then, Shepter gets a little happy with the seventh pick, as confirmed. So yeah, turn them noties off. But to what Mike's saying, the pleasure of sharing breaking news, the ultimate guy who shared, the ultimate breaking news was the guy who was able to share. Bro, did you see y'all just got Josh Hart to jail in Brunson? Oh, mwah, chef's kiss.

Speaker 4:
[04:07] So if we figured out what's going on with Dave Damishek's arm, Dave Damishek and Lucy Rodin, they are in Pittsburgh, they are there for the draft. And you could see the picture here with Coach Narduzzi, Rose is there also. And you know, like, why is Dave's left arm weighing, seemingly, weighing him down? What's going on?

Speaker 2:
[04:24] A lot of theories here. I just think he's trying to be young, making content.

Speaker 4:
[04:27] Looking like your arm is heavy is young?

Speaker 2:
[04:30] I think he feels awkward making content with younger people that he's just like, oh, I'm in a photo here. Okay, let me, and it's just, and that's where we, that's what we got.

Speaker 6:
[04:38] It looks like he's holding something in his hand too, which might explain the posture of the hand itself.

Speaker 2:
[04:43] Like a handful of coins, maybe?

Speaker 6:
[04:45] Like, okay, he doesn't want to wrap his arm around Coach Narduzzi, who's totally alpha-ing. Dave, right there.

Speaker 2:
[04:51] That's how you do a photo.

Speaker 6:
[04:53] That's actually an alpha playing it out. He has left Dave Damashek uncomfortable by his presence.

Speaker 2:
[05:00] He goes arm around Dave first, and Dave's really, he can't do the thing where you're both arms around each other.

Speaker 6:
[05:06] Because why not? He's stepping up in front of him. Now he's got to go a little further back.

Speaker 4:
[05:10] Is he going to go waist?

Speaker 6:
[05:11] So I'm telling you, it's the T-shirt.

Speaker 4:
[05:12] If you go waist there.

Speaker 6:
[05:14] You essentially have to pull Pat Narduzzi closer to you.

Speaker 2:
[05:18] If I see his fingers around Narduzzi's hip, that's even worse than what we're looking at.

Speaker 4:
[05:22] Okay, so here are our options, and we'll have to ask Dave tonight. He has something in his hand, he doesn't want the buttons on the shirt to be stretched out, or he's being outfoot by Coach Narduzzi. Those are our options.

Speaker 6:
[05:37] I got one more thought. Do we think that there is another photo where the arm is around? Because you can see on Coach Narduzzi's face, he's like mid-smile. It looks like they're having a conversation. So do we think that there might have been... I have never seen Pat Narduzzi that happy. Whoa, this is my point. They're having a great time, they're laughing, everything's cool, they're making fun of Dave. Oh, hey, put your arm around me, everything's fine. But then Narduzzi, running his own social media account, just posts the first photo, which is not the best one of Dave nor of him.

Speaker 2:
[06:07] Or they're like, oh, Rose was blinking, can we do another one? But he's already moved his hand back over here, he's not gonna go back over for the second photo.

Speaker 6:
[06:15] It's the second time.

Speaker 3:
[06:16] I got advice for Dave though, put that picture back up if you can. All we gotta get Dave is a gang sign, like push your fingers, any kind of sign, a peace sign would have worked right there. Do something with your fingers and you back.

Speaker 5:
[06:27] But what if he has something in his hands? Also, you can see Lucy there is actually kind of hidden in plain sight, her arm motion is quite stiff and she's holding onto her phone as well.

Speaker 2:
[06:39] That's always awkward, do you go one thumb in the pocket, or do you go full like half a hand in the pocket? It's a tough spot there.

Speaker 3:
[06:45] You got to go eight times down right there.

Speaker 4:
[06:48] This is a very important question that we will answer tonight. Have Dave explain himself. So 7:45 p.m. Eastern tonight, courtesy of Bucked Up, we have our NFL draft, we have our live stream draft watch. You're not going to want to miss that.

Speaker 2:
[07:02] It's an emotional time.

Speaker 4:
[07:03] JuJu.

Speaker 2:
[07:04] I'm choked up.

Speaker 4:
[07:05] I'm not choked up.

Speaker 2:
[07:06] He was really emotional.

Speaker 6:
[07:07] No, I get it. Well, he just learned Roger Ebert died. By the way, I'm back.

Speaker 4:
[07:12] Dan's gone, so I could come back. JuJu, you got some polls for us?

Speaker 3:
[07:15] Yes, sir, man. Is the meat always cheap when it comes in a can? 87 percent of the audience says, yes, it is. I'm scrolling. Do you enjoy the artistry of drawing files? 82 percent of the audience says, no, they don't. Is Alice Caruso a snitching ass joker? 90 percent of the audience says, yes, he is. And last poll, should Sam Presti replace Jerry West as the logo? 73 percent of the audience says, no, and those are your polls. See you guys tonight.
