Sehr gut, sehr gut, sehr gut! Sehr gut? WISO Steuer ist sehr gut, das sagen ganz viele. Cool, wer sagt das? Stiftung Warentest, Computerbild, Focus Money, Chip, Finanztip, such dir was aus. Mega, aber das ist doch bestimmt kompliziert. Nö, einfach Foto von der Lohnsteuerbescheinigung machen und fertig. Klingt sehr gut. Ist sehr gut. Hol dir dein Geld zurück mit WISO Steuer.

I am insistent and I demand that somebody get me some answers about the extinction of Sarsaparilla. I don't want to to leave today's show without knowing where we are on when sarsaparilla became extinct, and I need more answers on this. I also— I mean, before we get to Juju and some updated polls and Morally Abhorrent, I want to get to what happened with Stephen A. Smith on First Take. Uh, Mike was, was very eager to hear whether he would go back at the president. I assume he did over this silly, stupid issue as opposed to serious things affecting our country. I assume that he kept it confined to sports because that's why we're no longer at ESPN.

So they did it with the American flag behind him. He stood at a podium and they played Hail to the Chief as he went in. Now, I must admit, he started kind of lackluster. I really was— it wasn't holding my attention because he was doing all the kind of like what it felt like fan service to Donald Trump. He was doing the same thing, Adam Silver, to try to build him back. Yeah, yeah. But then he got to— he tried to get to the part where Donald Trump was asleep. He said, now I can't confirm if he was snoring because I wasn't within earshot, but that brother was asleep. And he just kept hammering home, this dude was asleep. And then he said, uh, the idea that the president came and they had to blockade again everything from 25th to 40th and from 9th Avenue to 6th Avenue— it's not just that people were inconvenienced, all those small businesses there, those bars, those restaurants, those parking garages that depend on the traffic of a game day to make a lot of their revenue. They all had to shut down. And if this president was so much about business and, and helping New Yorkers and all that, he wouldn't have done all this.

And then he went in on— you're gonna call me low IQ? I'm not the one who's been ducking the other one, because apparently he's been throwing out lobs to debate Donald Trump, and Donald Trump has not been taking the bait. And so he pointed that out as he's afraid of me. And then he went back and started talking about him being asleep and all that stuff. And then, Tony, this was weird, in the middle of it they dumped him. What? Now, the video feed still stayed, he was still talking, he's moving his mouth, but they dumped the audio. And so we're trying to figure out what did Stephen A. Smith say that the censors over at ABC— ESPN, excuse me— hit the dump button and said the last 10 seconds of what he's saying right now is not going to go out over air.

So we knew by reading his mouth he said something continual about being asleep, but we don't know what the buzzword was that got him pinged for that. So we're gonna read them.

Uh, put it on the poll please at Le Batard Show. Worst thing to do during the NBA Finals: fall asleep, uh, or play solitaire. Uh, here's Juju, uh, with us now, uh, to update some polls.

No, Dan, I'm sorry, Juju, give me a second because we have the clip of him getting dumped right here.

Run it. Brunson played better when you weren't there. Mikal Bridges played better when you weren't there, Josh. Um, Carl Anthony Towns played better when you weren't there. Landry Shamet played better when you weren't there. The crowd was festive, hyped, and more intimidating when you weren't there. Businesses were thriving before you showed up. Parking garages were being filled before you showed up. There was noise reverberating off the walls of Madison Square Garden before you showed up. And this is what you've done. I thought you were a New Yorker, Mr. President. I thought you cared. I thought it mattered to you. Gotham City, the New York Knicks, the erasing of a 53-year drought. I thought that mattered to you. Evidently it didn't. And you know how we know? Because you actually talking about coming back for Game 4. Why would you do that when you couldn't stay awake? Ah, it's clear you need your rest.

That's just an audio problem. I, I dispute. I mean, New York mix in all forms. Get that off my screen. Juju, let's, uh, update the polls at Le Batard Show.

What do you got?

Guy who calls numbers numbies, douche or no douche? 91% of the audience says douche. Do you know what sarsaparilla is? Or sarsaparilla? 51% of the audience says yes, they do. You feel me? We had one poll that ended up on the dump list today, the naughty list, and we— I have a trigger warning for you. This is what's the poll: worst way to die, asphyxiation or punched repeatedly. We're not putting that stuff out. Come on, Michelle Beetle. Next poll: did Wimby let out a pet the first two games of the series? 85% of the audience says yes. In a New York riot, is a barricade the first thing a rioter would use as a weapon? 91% of the audience says yes. And last poll, if you had to drink your own urine, would you prefer it to be warm or cold? 88% of the audience says cold. And those are your polls.

Big Rock. Like an old-fashioned.

Bonjour!
