Any other slurs you want to just rattle off?

I did not know what I had done there. Holy cow. Yeah, we were just, yeah, clankers, that's another one. I don't, ooh, I said it over the, I don't want, I don't want AI to have that history. I, ooh, no, bleep that, bleep that. That's going to be worse than what she did. Someone do the three, two, one thing. You're going to lose all your jobs.

Jeremy said the N-word for those. That's why I said not to bleep it. It sounds worse if you bleep it. It's pretty bad. All right. Here we go. Thank you. Leave all that in.

No. Three, two, all of it in. Three, two, one. I mean, Cinephobe does such a great job of covering these poor movies. But right now, I have a bone to pick with you. I don't know if you guys have ever done emergency episodes. If you've ever struck while the iron is hot. right now this war of the worlds with ice cube is having its moment and for you guys to not

jump in on the action and put out an episode yesterday feels like you're letting your audience down has there ever been an emergency episode for a really really bad movie that has taken over the pop culture man i don't think so i think the closest thing we got was the mortal combat oh yeah the home-and-home combat episodes yeah but that was just to preview the actual mortal new mortal combat movie that was coming out which by the way Mike I don't know if you saw Mortal Kombat too yeah oh I saw the trailer thank God we're getting away from that guy that wasn't in the games

I hated that character I don't know why they do this I genuinely hope he dies in the first few minutes we don't need more right we don't need more really quick by the way before I get out of here Mike I do want to say because you are an officianto of international soccer I don't know if you saw Sudan beat Nigeria 4-0 and this is like a massive

that is yeah afcon play and and nigeria is the gold standard in afghan it's look i'm going to a quick story 25 years ago i was in sudan for a world cup qualified that was played in sudan and if sudan won that game they were going to go to the 2002 world cup and they had to beat nigeria if they lost the game they were out they knew it so they had to win they brought back all their top tier talents akosha kanu all those guys uh and i was like man we can do this so you why not us? All this stuff we're playing at home. And Akosha is getting on the bus

and people out to ask him, you know, what's going to happen today? And he holds up a hand. And he goes, five. We're going to beat him by five. They beat us by four. And it was crushing for me in the stadium just to see everyone turn on the team

after one goal because Akosha scored this amazing goal and they started dancing. Everyone started dancing too. And I was like, this is awful. One day we'll be good enough to beat them and we'll return in the favor. And 25 years later, we finally did it. We gave them four.

Wow, suck it It's a great story It took a while It's a great story The Sudan and soccer team What up, Juju? What up y'all? How y'all doing?

We're doing great outside of Jeremy Greg, make yourself at home, by the way Right, Jesus, Jeremy He kiss your mother with those lips Man This is going to be haunting all day And probably for the rest of my life Yeah, I like y'all conversation

on the hard nods though as a buffalo bills fan let's go buffalo i'm so happy that this is the product because usually we're getting spicy stories we're getting people getting their egos big and struck man you y'all see it firsthand but we ain't got nothing but a whole bunch of square bears on our team we lame as hell and that's how i like it stay lame i was watching it through the lens of like like watching like me and my girl just trying to imagine a mean watching this was just a random person who don't love the bills and I was like boy when KJ Hamler pulled that scooter out of the box I was like oh they hate this shit right here that is true

it's like kind of like your own brand like I was riveted by Joe Philbin on this thing but the like the nation couldn't have liked that I thought you were talking about your farts it's like an own brand thing it is kind of like hard knocks this is almost like farts like everyone likes their team smelling your own farts yeah Never heard it put quite so eloquently. Thank you. Juju, are you glad that Mack Hollins isn't there?

Because I feel like if Mac was there, this would be the Mac show this season. Now, he's fun. This would be the Mac show, yeah. Yeah, you have fun. But I don't, I'm not mad. I'm mad he's gone, though, because I think he was a good talent. Yeah, Mac Hollins, former Greg Cody show guest, by the way. Is that so?

Oh, yeah, that's right. Where do you rank on your list of all-time guests? He's on there. I think he was in the top 50. He's in the middle somewhere. Top 58. But, Juju, I think you just coined a great. phrase for the bills like their season theme stay lame yeah i like that stay lame as hell

and uh zad zas said earlier middurman on the hot seat boy middermen be on the hot seat with me personally specifically for about three years now because we keep coming up to this certain point we ran the same play a lot of times last year in that game like to the same side it's like hey man but salute to my brother he he told us he was just getting through a about with skin cancer last night. So you got to know much love to Dermott's and all the other MCs.

Is this a postgame vibe, Dad? Like, what are you going for here? What do you mean? Just this vibe you're going to visually. It's casual. It's a post game thing. Right. Nice.

I love it. I love it. I saw something online yesterday. I don't know if I'm getting catfish or what. Bauer said, but I saw that a picture of Brock Bowers Haddon finally came home.

that. Is this real? Did y'all see it? Wow. That's big of true. Not sure if it's true, but I saw it. Right. I think it's super, super good news if true. So it made me make a top five people in sports that need to come home ASAP list.

It's not good. I have my own guest. Regular sports, right? The Derek White Memorial. Hey, don't give away the game. Already happened. I know. Right. O-L-I. Chris Paul. this way brother this way really i thought he had the kobe like super low boy like zero all across

yeah it looks like that from that angle but whenever he's playing with the team and he get a file on him over with sir judo juju you know what the problem is he's got the same thing i don't want to there's another guy that might be on your list but he's got a really strong hairline yeah but then behind it's like a hollywood facade you know i like i know i know who means i can about. Yes. Number five, this is a deep cut. But if you, real Hoopers know, Devin Carter from the Sacramento Kings. Son of Anthony Carter with the Nuggets. Brother, come home soon. He got a drippy curl that's spotty. You know those drippy curls. Once they go up here, it is a rap. So please, come home, brother. And it's hereditary because his pops was early too. He,

He came in league ball, not by choice. Exactly. You should take heed from your father. That's what they're there for, to lead us and guide us. Number four, Kevin Durant. That's the one we're doing to. Come home and stay home. This is what I'm going to say.

If he brushed his hair, I feel he might get some coverage. He might get some coverage if he brushed it. I saw a video circulated online yesterday about a fan in the crowd says, because KD is my MVP, it's my goat. And MJ, I wasn't alive or something. And he looked that way, and boy, come home to A-Sat, brother. Number three, Derek Henry. I like this one. Sneaky.

Right. Some people saw it. Some people didn't forget it. He cut his hair last year, and I think he cut it for the right reason. Like, you know, it was time. But now he's growing it back. He got braids. He gets put in.

It's a lot going on, man. Brother, come home and stay home. A.S. Derek Henry. Number two, LeBron James. All of favor. We all know who number one is. Hold on.

You don't put that much money and technology and science into your head, juju, just to cut it all off. Also, remember he tried to soft launch the bald head. Look, when he was in Miami, that one summer, and he looked crazy. And so that's what he knew. I can't go down this route. But I feel like we'll get used to it sooner than later, man. He got too much money to still be doing that, bro.

Come on, LeBron. Come home, A's out. And Brock Bowers, if he had, if this CGI, Brock Bowers, you're on this list. So just throwing that out there. But the number one person that needs to come home, sirs, Jalen Sugs from your Orlando Magic. Yeah, that's a tough. That's a tough one. All right.

Man, it is getting tricky, Jalen. Congratulations on your relationship. Who you got, Mike? Trey Young. Oh, yeah. Whispy. He's got wispy here. Yeah, Jalen Suggs deservedly so.

That is an all-timer. Absolutely. But I can't believe that Trey Young didn't crack this list, given all the memes of that, you know, lollipop that gets stuck in the rug. Yeah, I got to live in Atlanta. And Trey be outside more than y'all would think he be outside. So I ain't got time for that, Tray.

Come on, watch out. Doc Rivers is another one. Strong hairline. Yeah, in the front. Yeah. I think some of those brothers got the tattoo hairline, did a real fine tattoo. You know, man, I want to snitch.
