Revisiting Controversial Takes

Jeremy and the Mike Vrabel Statement

• JuJu brings out a peculiar claim:

  "[You said] if Mike Vrabel did it, you would watch. Do you want to clarify that? Do you want to repeat that, or do you want to stand on that?" (02:10)

• The crew debates the infamous Vrabel quote (cutting off his penis to win a Super Bowl), with Jeremy reluctantly "standing on" his admission that he’d watch (02:28).
• David notes:

  "I don't believe that any of you wouldn't." (02:29)

  • The segment gets playful as the group discusses the hypothetical, and Jeremy pushes back:

    "Why would anybody want to? ... I get squeamish watching, like, needles and shivs in movies." (02:41)

The “Kai Cenat is a Low-End Celebrity” Argument

• JuJu challenges Tony’s take:

  "Kai Cenat is a low end celebrity." (03:09)

• Dan expresses disbelief:

  "Wild." (03:14)

• JuJu closes with:

  "Especially his asses during Black History Month." (04:18)

Chevy Chase & Race

• Jeremy provides historical background on SNL’s racially charged skit with Chase and Pryor (04:58).

TV & Movie Critique: State of Modern Entertainment

JuJu's TV Recommendation

• JuJu recommends Peacock’s “The Traitors,” saying:

  "This show should be a required watch in every elementary school across America. Why, brothers and sisters, I'm here to tell you this is might be the best show on tv." (05:47)

  • Praises its psychological misdirection and relentless wrong accusations:

    "They will bet their lives and their first children on it ... And they be just as wrong as hell." (05:53)

“There Are No Good Movies Anymore” Debate

• Tony claims "there are no good movies anymore." (06:27)
• JuJu partially agrees, citing overreactions to mediocre films and launches his:

  "Top five ass movies of 2025." (07:08)

JuJu’s “Top Five Ass Movies of 2025”

1. War of the Worlds (Ice Cube version):

   "Ass on ass ... I tried to watch that movie three times, sirs, and I could not do it." (07:28) David: "That was Booty Juice." (07:35)

2. Novocaine:

   "Do not go see Novocaine. You will regret it." (07:36)

3. The Running Man:

   • JuJu joins Jeremy in dismissing it:

     "That thing was so lame. No plot, no twists, just straight ass." (08:23)

4. Begonia:

   • Tony pushes back, but JuJu finds it too predictable:

     "I knew the answer to the movie the first five minutes of the movie ... at least give me a twist." (08:59)

5. Marlon Wayans’s “Quarterback” Horror Movie:

   "Marlon Wayans. You need to be ashamed of yourself for that movie, bro. Salute to all the people involved. Get your money." (09:16)

[Jeremy]

I am truly stunned that I said 15 seconds or less and Jeremy was wildly efficient, and this is what a mean professional broadcaster gave us. I think I do. The counteroffers have been. Time's up. Again. I love when someone uses the again after not saying anything at all. I think I do the again.

[Juju]

The counteroffers have been.

[Jeremy]

Juju is with us now. We're going to update some polls. We're going to do some critique. What do you have for us to start in the way of critique today, Juju?

[Juju]

First of all, I'm not sure if I can say this. I'm allowed, but here goes nothing. Happy Black History Month, everybody.

[Jeremy]

You're not allowed to say it. You're not allowed to say it.

[Juju]

I knew it. I knew it. Well, yeah, Happy Black History Month, man. Great weekend of sports. Man to female went down. Shakur Stevenson handed him a big punch in the face. He been doing a lot of stuff, a lot of antics lately that could be seen as very racist. So it was good to see him humbled, and he apologized for racism after the show. So good fights, Shakur Stevenson. But, yeah, great weekend of sports.

[Jeremy]

Let's get to some of the things on the docket here today. I think that we have said some questionable things over the last ten days or so. Let's revisit some of them, shall we?

[Juju]

Yeah, I ain't even going to take it out of 10 days. I'm gonna take it out to Monday. Friday. Jeremy. Can we put the camera on Jeremy? Tashay, please, Sirs or m'. Ams.

[Dan]

And they.

[Juju]

You said if Mike Vrabel did it, you would watch. Do you want to clarify that? Do you want to repeat that, or do you want to stand on that? I'll stand on that.

[Tony]

Wow.

[Jeremy]

All right.

[Tony]

Shocking.

[Jeremy]

I mean, Vrabel said he would cut off his penis to win a Super bowl, and Jeremy said he would watch that.

[David]

I don't believe that any of you wouldn't.

[Jeremy]

No, I would not watch that.

[David]

I Was at a party over the weekend and multiple people came up to me and was like, Jeremy was out of pocket for that. And I was like, hey, look, he stands on that.

[Jeremy]

Multiple people.

[David]

Multiple people have on zoom and in person.

[Jeremy]

Why would anybody want to. Want what? Who wants to watch that? Why would you want. I get squeamish watching, like, needles and shivs in movies. Why would I want to watch that?

[David]

You wouldn't be able to look away.

[Juju]

So now it's time to put the camera on Judd's ass. I'm so sorry, Z, to do this to you, brother. It seems like you agree, though, that the reporters are in the suspension situation because they don't know shit and they shouldn't just be allowed to say they don't know shit. You feel me? You're not one of them. But do you want to repeat this? Do you want to stand on this or do you want to retract this? Kai Cenat is a low end celebrity.

[Dan]

Wild.

[Tony]

Yeah, I think he's a low end celebrity.

[David]

That's crazier than me saying, I want to watch Mike Rabel cut off his dick.

[Dan]

Indignant. Like, you're telling me know that guy? And he's young. You've seen it in a tweet before. Just double down and be like, I can't believe that idiot.

[Tony]

If you ask someone who's above the age of 25 who kai sanat is, you feel like the majority of them are going to know who he is. No, they're not. That's a low end celebrity.

[Dan]

He may be on SoundCloud or YouTube or an app. Don't volunteer that.

[Tony]

I'm sorry.

[Dan]

Dismay.

[Tony]

I'm not sorry. Actually, I don't know why anyone would say they're sorry. I'm not.

[Dan]

Twitch.

[Juju]

Whatever.

[Dan]

Just say twitch.

[Tony]

Just because young people know Tyson Addis doesn't make him a high end celebrity. No disrespect.

[Jeremy]

He's great on MySpace.

[Juju]

And lastly, put the camera on me. I'm tired. It seemed like we standing on everything.

[Jeremy]

No, that's not right, Juju. You're so right about that. Like, they cannot double down on those opinions. They're terrible opinions. Right?

[Juju]

Especially his asses during Black History Month.

[Tony]

I'm gonna ask.

[Juju]

Neither here nor there. But lastly, to us, I know David Sampson. We love you, brother. We support you and we always got you in our hearts. But he gave a hero support to Chevy Chase the other day, and I just want to put out there to us African Americans. Chevy Chase is the guy who vigorously uses the NWORD at will because he says that Richard Prior said he could do so.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, yeah, that we didn't mention that when talking about Chevy Chase. That he used it casually with Richard Pryor's permission because they did a skit on Saturday Night Live about crackers and offensive.

[Juju]

What's the problem?

[Jeremy]

Stereotypes?

[Juju]

Not this much. What is it? Tagaki.

[Dan]

Easy, easy.

[Juju]

Also I watched over the weekend I saw Mina Kimes and her co host David Dennis. I believe they were interviewing Ron Funches. Also I'm familiar with Ron Funches from his Southbeat session interview. Go check it out right now if you haven't. But my boy Ron Funches was on Traders. So I was like, bro, I'm gonna get this show with a chance, man. Damn. I done seen the promo over and over. I seen Bruh in the kilts and the boots. I'm feeling like in. Let me tell you, this show should be a required watch in every elementary school across America. Why, brothers and sisters, I'm here to tell you this is might be the best show on tv. These folks be so convinced that they know exactly who the traitor is and they will bet their lives and their first children on it. And this person over here is a liar because they I saw him talking to old girl last night. They be just as wrong as hell. I'm talking about wrong accusation after wrong accusation coming from blonde hair, blue eyes, coming from every type. And you would think, oh man, he said that? I believe him. No, they all lying. They're traitors. Watch the show asap.

[Dan]

Pooh.

[Juju]

Peacock. I'm so happy we are in bed with you guys.

[Tony]

Juju, what did you make of Tony saying that there are no good movies anymore?

[Juju]

He's not far off, bruh. Folks be overreacting on all these movies. Like, like David Simpson was saying one one something, one battle after another. I saw it, I watched it, it was cool. I was in it. I stayed awake the entire time. It wasn't this thing, it wasn't chocola, it wasn't the like let Adnam and David Sampson tell it. You would have thought Titanic 2 came out. You feel me? And so I don't agree with the most of it, but I do think that my, my brother Tony is on the song. He a dog with a mountain on this.

[David]

Thank you.

[Juju]

So it made me come up with a top five ass movies of 2025.

[David]

All right, again, not wrong, just early.

[Juju]

Just early. Number five. The War of the Worlds ice cube.

[Tony]

Oh man, I think I got zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

[Juju]

Ass on ass. I'm Talking about. I tried to watch that movie three times, sirs, and I could not do it.

[David]

That was Booty Juice.

[Juju]

Booty Juice Number four, Novocaine. I usually like Bruh, too. He and the boys. He a good actor, but, boy, do not go see Novocaine. You will regret it.

[Tony]

Yo, Ice Cube's War of The world's got 4% on rotten tomatoes.

[Juju]

Number three. My brother Amin. Now, I think we gotta always remember that Amin has been desensitized by the cinephobe show he does when he volunteers himself to watch some ass movies. Number three is the Running Man. You are right, dad.

[Jeremy]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Juju.

[Juju]

I watched it over the weekend, too, bro. I was like, oh, free running man. Yes, sir. I was the front center.

[Jeremy]

Man.

[Juju]

That thing was so lame. Didn't pay no homage to Arnold, except they had him in there on a car. Maybe he's a president. I don't know. It was ass, though. No plot, no twists, just straight ass. What'd you say, Tony? What? The other one was Booty Juice. Number two, the movie Begonia. What I heard that's good.

[Tony]

That movie's good. Juju.

[David]

Juju agrees with me. No good moves anymore.

[Jeremy]

It's weird. I like it because Emma Stone and Fat Damon. But. And. And savvy. But. But it's weird. That movie's weird, bruh.

[Juju]

I knew the answer to the movie. The first five minutes of the movie, and that's where I. I give it a party file. Like, at least give me a twist that I don't see coming. I mean, sorry. Number one.

[Dan]

Him.

[Juju]

Marlon Wayans. You need to be ashamed of yourself for that movie, bro. Salute to all the people involved. Get your money.

[Jeremy]

That's a quarterback, right? It's a quarterback movie. Yeah.

[Juju]

A quarterback horror film.

[Dan]

Yeah, it sounded like Starvie. No one said savvy, right? No one caught that. I didn't make him a Savier. They're crazy. I'm not crazy.

[Juju]

We move on.

[Tony]

Juju. You got some polls for today? What do we got?

[Juju]

Yes, sir. I got some polls from the last couple of days. The last two days. A big great one right here. Better basketball player. D. Wade or giannis.

[Tony]

Easy answer.

[Juju]

54 of the audience says D. Wade, man. 305. Stand up. Is Bill Belichick rooting for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl?

[Jeremy]

Oh, wow, that's an old one.

[Juju]

92 of the audience say, hell nah. It's Tom Brady rooting for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl. 54 of the audience say, hell nah. What's more impressive, squatting 405 at age 65 or squatting 65 at age 405? 63 of the audience says, squatting 65 at 405.

[David]

Dan said John harbor was 405.

[Juju]

Have you ever been so drunk that you threw a chair and accidentally hit your homeboy? And I put homeboy because mate don't read the same on Twitter.

[David]

Mate seems to put Australian accent in parentheses.

[Dan]

Right?

[Jeremy]

Right.

79% of the audience says, no, they have not. Have you ever suspected a boxer of wearing a toupee in the ring? 90% of the audience says, no, they have not. Can the word battling ever be one syllable? 78% of the audience says, no, it cannot. And last poll in Miami. Is that smell from the heater just dust from the coils because it's been so long since you've last used it? 95% of the audience says, yes, it is. And those are your poles.

[Jeremy]

All right, put it on the poll. Is everything about funding. This is America, Jack. Because you forgot that one.

[David]

We'll.

[Jeremy]

We'll get to that tomorrow. Thank you, Juju.

Shuck you, Dan.
