Transcript of Dan Creates Some Terrible Optics | Postgame Show

Amin has sent us what he is alleging is his arm still not going down. He is holding his arm over his head. Juju, how long do you believe that you could successfully hold both of your arms over your head? Do you think you can do so for the entirety of this segment?

Absolutely. That's not necessarily hard for the kid, but salute. I mean, if you want me to do it, I can do it, you dig?

Sure.

Let's, let's try it. This is not likely to last as long as I did it for, which is slightly longer than Amin did it for, and Amin is still doing it, but I believe—

Noticing a pattern.

Your shoulders will get tired over the course of us doing this.

Even I think these optics are bad.

I'm going to try and do it as well throughout the entirety of this segment here.

Lead from the front.

Why did Juju put down his arms? You just, you just put down his arm because of optics. I wasn't thinking about that.

When I'm the voice of reason.

I enjoyed this weekend.

And before we get to the polls and before, before we get to Juju's subject matter, I did enjoy this weekend that it appears that I was not wrong all of these times. I was just early on being fooled by the internet because it seems that everybody this weekend was fooled by a video that is how many years old, Mike?

10 years old. Finds for the entirety of the internet content creators. Did our show fall for this as well? There was a very dramatic fight between Cole Custer and John Hunter Niemicek, two Cup Series drivers. NASCAR was off this week. There were— there was no race. So I wasn't watching NASCAR in 2016, so it was new to me too. But I also realized, wait a second, that's a Cup— that's not Cup Series driving, that's Truck Series. We're off this week, what's going on here? Yeah, there was a very dramatic fight. Do we have video from 2016? John Hunter Niemicek and Cole Custer getting into it And he basically edge spears him like a spear out of nowhere, and everyone fell for it. So fine, across the internet.

In our defense, this video, not AI, real, just 10 years old.

Also in our defense, this video, not ready. So that panic that Dan was talking about when he lost his dog? Yeah, you feel it right now.

Well, what was funny about it is the fact that instead of the video that you requested, what I saw the video team call up was the video of my dog in the elevator instead of the 10-year-old video of, uh, so who got fooled by it? Who got fooled by everybody?

Pat McAfee, all the, the sports aggregators. Look, it's a doldrum right now going on in sports. I think something— yeah, look, people, people fighting, we like that. This is a race. It was a great fiery end to a race. They were like colliding across the finish line and then they took it into their hands afterwards and fought.

But yeah, 10 years old, celebrating the 10-year anniversary.

Yeah, not, not Not something that happened last year or maybe, you know, 4 years ago. Maybe this happened during COVID No, this was 2016.

This arm over the head thing is harder than people think. Like, Juju, you're not suffering this at all? This is easy for you?

It's not necessarily easy because I do have 2 25-inch pythons strapped to my arm. So it's a bit heavy, but I'm getting through it. I didn't know we was going to be talking about all this. I thought we was going to go through my segment. That rearranged the time in my head though.

I made it longer just to make you suffer a little bit more instead of just have us both sink into the terrible optics of this. Uh, what do you have for us today before we get to the polls, brother?

I'm so hurt a little bit that your brain even allows you to place a sentient millimeter of blame on the brother that was on the elevator with your dog, man. Like, it's one— this is a two-America situation, I think, because one thing about us Black folks, what we gonna do We gonna mind our damn business, man. Like, we get on the elevator, it's a strange random dog. Hey man, say man, I don't know what this dog got going on. All I know is I'm in Miami and fine shit is at the bar already waiting on me. They keep texting me, I'm late as hell. Salute to you, Fido, but I got to go. You ain't none of my damn business. Where the hell is your owners at? Please, to place blame on this brother is a shame.

My objection is not the blaming of him in the elevator. It's that you got into the lobby and then let him out into the street. It's not— my objection is not here, although I am surprised by how relaxed he is and how relaxed the dog is.

Would you have been fine if he stopped the dog from exiting the elevator? This is where I found you. I'm gonna let the door shut. You just stay where you were.

My objection is just that what I'm telling you is there's no way for the dog to get out of the lobby unless a human being lets him out of the lobby, and he shouldn't have let him out into the street. The street has traffic in it. All you've got to do is close the door behind you and make sure the dog stays inside. That's the only blame I have for that guy, and I'm still bothered by it in a way you can hear in my throat.

But look, he's, he's just on the elevator. He get on the elevator like, look, man, here go a dog. He done got on the elevator. Hey, after you, sir. Like, all he doing is what's regular in this moment. Why is this damn dog on the elevator and living his life so casually? It seems as though he deserves to get a little fresh walk, you know? And it's not my fault for giving my boy one.

I would have been so heartbroken coming in here today if I had not been able to find my dog for 3 days because of what you guys know now about abductions.

First 24 hours are the most important. You would have had me running around the beach today early.

Joe Mantegna, Criminal Minds.

Uh, @LeBittardShow, it seems like we've got a lot of polls and I gotta get the polls. Yeah, I need to let you— let you put your arms down. My shoulders though are, uh, they are now burning. They are. This is not an easy thing to do. What do you guys think is the, um, the average that we would assign in minutes to the amount of time the average human being—

I don't know, but whatever it was, you tripled it.

Thank you.

You're so strong.

I know. I'm going to now, with my victory, I'm going to put my arms down slightly longer than Amin. I did it for just there, just a few more seconds than Amin did. @LevittardShow on the polls. What do we have, Juju?
