So look at this. All right. Mike, you and I are both on the same page with Jason Tatum. All right. This right here, this is a same page kind of deal. And Juju is fanning flames here. Look at him. He's wearing his Jason Tatum's Celtics jersey and he's holding a, I don't believe it's a real one.

I think it's a replica Larry O'Brien trophy. All right. So Juju, go ahead. Give you the floor here. It's not the real. I think it's a replica. I think you're right. Juju's 27 feet tall.

Yeah, man, some days are just more important than others to keep this thing close, man. Some days you just want to remember it happened, and you just want to just live in it and just basking in a little bit, you know? The good old days, as they say. Where's Stanley? You got Stanley near you? Oh, yeah, Stanley's over there. All right. He's over there with what they call the Super Bowl, man.

Lombardi. I'm sure you could appreciate my personality. I appreciate my perspective of being an on-the-record hating-ass hater. Yeah, yeah, I understand. Keeping it real. It's no fire because you don't talk about it and just be scaring away. You pull up on Paul Pierce and tell the truth to his face, your truth. So I respect that.

You ain't no Twitter finger, man. I'm the only one that's brave enough to say it about Angel Reese, too. Don't forget that. Touche. Juju, you're upset with some of the sports. analysts and some of the media folks here? What's going on there? Oh yeah, man. I got a new rule, man, for sports analysts around the world, bro. If you get a prediction wrong moving forward, I don't care if you were for Fox, ESPN, Metal

Art Media. If you get three predictions wrong in a row, you, sir, are suspended for a month. Whoa. In a row. A month. A month. And that includes social media. You can't comment on your team winning, choose your predictions wisely. I'm tired of seeing all these predictions just hurled around. And then Nick Wright just comes and saunter his ass in here as if he didn't have the entire AFC in the inverse last year. Still giving his takes with a cock in his neck, like talking to us like this. Had the Raiders.

No. A raiders in the playoffs, I believe. A crick in his neck. Got that cock in his neck. Juju, there's not a cock in his neck. There's a crick in his neck. You don't know what's in there. You feel me?

Talking a log, what's there? All I know is you can't be allowed to steal some turn when you've been that wrong. So one month offline at least. It's a crick in his neck. It's the crick of the log, baby. He's got that cock neck. Man, I got to sneak right about that next time.

How you get that cock in your neck? Do you have any constructive criticism for me today? Juju, what did I get wrong? Yes, damn, my brother, we love you so much, brother. and we know you are proudly Cuban. We did a whole week dedicated to how proudly Cuban you are. You got a respect that Mike McDaniel is a black man. I'm black and I'm proud.

So I would hate to turn on the TV and see somebody tell me he's white. And I'm saying, like, what the hell? What you mean on white? That was crazy. That was very crazy, Dan. So we need an apology. Yeah, another one. Another one, okay.

Yes, I apologize again. And did you hear the Tyrod Humley thing? I think Tyrod Humley's worst. That was bad, too. All right. It was bad, man. So forgive me. Let me do this again, even though it was a delayed penalty that we started the entire show with.

Minor penalty, two minutes. Accidental racism. Yep. Don't let the doorknob hit you with a good Lord split you. Wow. Didn't expect that. Also, the stuff surrounding Bill Belichette right now. Guys, let's get over it.

We really don't care. I know that it's good to talk about online, as good as social media, whatever. But y'all don't care Bill Belichick getting in the damn Hall of Fame this year, 2007. Who cares? Like, my boy messed up. Unfortunately, honor is a part of the NFL honors. And you've been running around with your shirt off, closing screen doors behind you, leave, bro, this matters. You got your girlfriend on the sideline giving you advice.

Come on, man. Some of this stuff matters. And this is the type of stuff that the NFL does in response to you keeping the New England Patriots out of your camp. So to see your kids play. You did? So I think that a lot of the moves he made like that is the stuff that really kicked him in the butt on this going around. To Juju's point, I can't remember another first ballot Hall of Famer where we have a video of them like exiting a house shirtless. It's not a good luck. Right, bro.

You can mess yourself up, brad. Same way Antonio Brown messed yourself up. The real way? You can mess yourself up a goofy way too, bro. So it made me think of the top five people who messed up their careers in a goofy way. Oh, all right. Not serious. We're not talking about serious criminal charges.

We're not talking about nothing serious. Just goofy mess-ups. O-L-I, Tiger Woods. Wow. That's a strong list if he's an O-L-I. Right. Very goofy. Exactly.

It was one point of my time. my life where I saw Tiger Woods as a thing and now I see them as a totally different thing, br, come home too, by the way, and keep your hat on one of them. Wow, come home candidate too? Keep the hat on. Oh, man. For sure. Do one of them.

Other, I don't know how much fame or fortunate you folks had before, but it was so bad I got at least OLLI, my boys. Terry Roseer, Jonte Porter, Jonseley Billups, P.E.U. Man. Number five, Plexico Barris. I can't see him without thinking about his incidents he had.

You can't keep that one in the chamber. What are we doing? Say gun safety. Second Amendment, we're talking about it. You can't keep one in the chamber in the club. Come on. Exactly. And guns are illegal in New York.

Come on, brother. Keeping it real goes wrong. Number four, Brett Farf. Which time? Good one. I can never see him the same, man. Number three, Lance Armstrong. Bill Strong.

Bill Strong, my ass. Number two, Bill Belichick. Come on, brother. What are you doing? And number one, Jose Canseco. I never knew he was this crazy. I thought he was a Bash Brother or what they called it. Yeah, he was a Bash Brother, and he was kind of nuts. Before we get to the polls here and Greg Cody's long-awaited Hall of Fame thoughts,

what were your thoughts on Nick Wright and what happened with Wemby earlier in the show? Oh yeah Nick Wright said something that I wanted to share you feel me like it goes to the best I could describe being a black man sometimes in America

I don't want to serious us out but on the math that Wemby is doing while he's trying to say certain things and Nick Wright says it's a shame that how much of my own personal and constitutional rights or safety am I putting in jeopardy by expressing my objections. That's something that it's like, damn, I never thought of it in that way, but that's something I moved through life struggling with.

Like I'm a, you know what I mean, tattoo face black man in America from Atlanta. And so me complaining about something hits a whole other way than someone else complaining or even voicing that. And you said also too that the starting point should be understanding in a lot of these cases. Unfortunately, the starting point is rarely understanding when it comes to a person like me. You feel like the starting points is usually a purse being clutched or, whoa, brother, what you? Hey, you good? You feel me? So I think that what Wimby is trying to do is commendable.

Of course, so much going on in the world. We got Brianna Stewart tomorrow. I'm interviewing Brianna Stewart, blessed. to be able to interview Brianna Stewart tomorrow for Goodfellow should be a great one because so far there is any limitations we have on the interview. So stay tuned for that tomorrow. That is, you can also catch all the things that Juju is doing with Ali Hoop, wherever it is you get your podcasts and on the YouTube channel. You praise Nick Wright there, but let's criticize Nick Wright by putting up his predictions for the season this year in the division. there that he is his beloved division.

So it's upside down there. You see that he's got the Chiefs first. The Raiders second, in the playoffs, the Raiders second. Third is the Chargers. And fourth is the Broncos, the team that was, you know, a play away from getting. Yeah, it's totally wrong. So suspend him for a month. Put it on the poll at Levitard show.

Should Nick Wright be suspended for a month for his predictions on football? Let's update the poll here before we get to all of Greg Cody's Hall of Fame thoughts? Yes, sir. Tougher human, one who survived the extreme cold or one who survived the extreme heat. 80% of the audience says one who survived the extreme cold. I see you. And last poll, can every 83 year old be expected to remember how they voted two weeks ago? 68% of the audience says, no, they can't and those are your polls. Thank you, Jude, you, good stuff. We'll talk to you again tomorrow. All right, Greg Cody. The floor is yours. Everybody is wrapped with attention to hear all the things you wanted to say while we were talking about

Janus Breaking News. Okay. You have to think of Hall of Fame voters such as myself. The composite of Hall of Fame voters were all human beings. We're a composite. We're an amalgamation. We all come together and reach a consensus. In voting, in Hall of Fame voting, as in just whatever, elections. Sometimes we get it right, sometimes we get it wrong. Sometimes we get it right. Other people think it's wrong. What have you?

Now, in the case of Hall of Fame voting, since we are all human beings with differing opinions, let's take baseball first. Steroids. I vote for Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens every year until they were knocked off the ballot. Why? Because I think their steroid use did not prevent

them from being great players, and that's quantifiable. So other people would not vote for Barry Bonds because they're sanctimonious, because they're claiming to stand up for the integrity of the game. That's a valid opinion to them, not to me. Okay? In the case of football, the Bill Belichick vote, everybody in his right mind thought Bill Belichick was going to get in, probably as a unanimous vote. I don't think anybody really considered that some of the electorate considers Spygate to be disqualifying,

or at least to delay his getting in without the honor of being a first ballot guy. A lot of people don't understand that. Levittar doesn't. That's part of the reason why he lost his baseball Hall of Fame vote in shame and disgrace, is because not on principle, but because he didn't follow the rules of being a Baseball Hall of Fame voter. So he got what he deserved, right? Now, I follow the rules. I do my due diligence.

Occasionally, like many human beings, occasionally, I might change my mind. Okay? You know what? When I was a kid, I used to hate Brussels sprouts, would not touch them. They even didn't smell right to me. Okay? Guess what? I love Brussels sprites now, Brussels sprouts.

Same with asparagus, okay? Never used to like it? Change my mind. Love asparagus now. Okay, that's what happened.
