• Jeremy (01:06): "Yes, sir, it's snowing here in Atlanta. It's. It's. It was very cold. [...] like the championship game. It was amazing, but it was so cold going to and fro that they'll put a damper on things just a smidget. You dig me?"

3. Listener Feedback and Engagement

Juju and Jeremy discuss listener interactions and feedback regarding the show.

4. Movie Review: "Wicked"

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to reviewing the movie "Wicked."

• Juju (03:10): "He is right. [...] It's such a beautiful movie. But you're right. [...] essentially it's a civil rights movie."

• Jeremy (03:53): "Wait until part two, Juju. [...] I was blindsided because I was like, holy, wait a minute. I didn't know I was watching a civil rights movement complaint issue."

Initially expecting a light-hearted musical with "bright colors and song and dance," Juju expresses his surprise at the movie's deeper themes related to the civil rights movement. Jeremy echoes these sentiments, praising the film's cinematography and musical score despite its more serious undertones.

• Jeremy (04:10): "Right. Bullying 101. Holy moly. But yeah, it was still like you said, the film was phenomenally shot. Every scene was just beautiful, spectacular. The songs. I give it a 10 on my greatness."

• Juju (05:10): "Wow. [...] there's a pretty good chance of that. If that happens, you have to root for somebody. Right. You can't be neutral in a Super bowl where you like both teams. So where do you lean there?"

The hosts analyze the prospects of the Bills and Eagles in the upcoming Super Bowl, discussing player performances and team dynamics. Jeremy expresses a pessimistic outlook on his favorite teams' chances, while Juju counters with optimism based on current odds.

• Jeremy (05:48): "I actually do not lean. I mean, my Eagles. I've been blessed and fortunate to see my Eagles win the super bowl recently. So that's just Chef's kiss. You feel me?"

They delve into fan culture, the passion of Bills fans (Bill's Mafia), and the challenges faced by teams like the Miami Dolphins. The conversation highlights the emotional investment fans have in their teams' successes and the rollercoaster of hope and disappointment that accompanies each NFL season.

The topic shifts to fan traditions, specifically tailgating and the sometimes outrageous behavior associated with it.

• Juju (07:58): "Now I have to ask you, let's say you're tailgating before a Bills game, dead, a winner. What does it take to get you to be one of those fans that jumps on the table and crushes the table? Have you seen that?"

• Jeremy (08:24): "Absolutely, I absolutely would do that. All I need is an invite. [...] but somebody invite me up that ladder, I will go through that table with open arms."

They discuss the excitement and potential hazards of table-jumping during victorious moments, reflecting on the intense emotions that sports events can evoke among fans.

7. Audience Poll and Lighthearted Questions

Towards the episode's conclusion, Juju and Jeremy engage the audience with a series of playful poll questions, revealing the listeners' preferences and opinions.

[Juju]

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Juju, how you doing?

[Jeremy]

Pretty good, brother. It's good to see you, man.

[Juju]

It's good to see you.

[Jeremy]

Time to make it.

[Juju]

Are you staying warm? You look like you're coming out of the snow wearing that hood. In the last couple of times I've seen you on social media, you appear to be in the snow. Like, how cold have you been lately?

[Jeremy]

Yes, sir, it's snowing here in Atlanta. It's. It's. It was very cold. And I like to echo some of the sentiment shared by Jessica and Lucy earlier. It's like the championship game. It was amazing, but it was so cold going to and fro that they'll put a damper on things just a smidget. You dig me?

[Juju]

Yeah, I do. I do. That's why I live in so Florida. Okay. I'm. I'm putting jackets on my cat and dog when it gets below 70 here.

[Listener]

Not true. You don't do that?

[Juju]

No, I don't, but if I did, I would do it when it was below 70. Juju, tell us how the great listeners of our show consumed today's episode. I was particularly good today, I thought. Did you share that feeling?

[Jeremy]

Yes. I think you're particularly good every Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday when your appearances are here.

[Juju]

Thank you.

[Jeremy]

I think it could have used a little bit more of you, if you. In my opinion. Yeah. Awfully quiet at first.

[Juju]

I know that's true. But, you know, when I'm in two days in a row, I feel like I gotta ration myself, you know, I don't want to, like, overload the listener. What did the listener say about the show? I know Dan always asks you that, and I'm not sure how you consume that. How you figure that out? Is it just by. By tweets and everything? Like, what were people saying about today's show?

[Jeremy]

Yes, sir, I pay attention to the tweets. Then I'll check in on the YouTube chat. Salute to the YouTube chat. Our lawyers, listeners and supporters and I just see how what the vibes are. You know, when Dan starts talking a little Jimmy Butler Jack goes a little way. Yes. And speaking of that, I want to give a shout out to Khalil Ware. Holy moly, my boy.

[Host]

He is right. Oh my goodness. Dude has gone from not playing for most of the season to now playing double digit minutes per game for one month and he's already fourth on rookie of the year odds on draftkings sportsbook. It's crazy the type of come up he's had after going head to head with Victor Wembanyama the other night. It was pretty amazing, right?

[Jeremy]

I think we should be talking about that brother a little bit more than we talking about the chaos and ensue. And I got a little treat for Jeremy as well last night. Since it's snowing here in Atlanta. I couldn't really move around or anything. I said, you know what? I'm gonna watch me a little movie, bro. And guess what I watched last night. Wicked. You did Me. I was like, man, I was thinking like I want to pick my mood up and get in the great spirits and have just a great day. And I was blindsided because I was like, holy, wait a minute. I didn't know I was watching a civil rights movement complaint issue. I was more upset when I finish watch watching that movie. Then I was happy. What do you think, Jeremy?

[Host]

Wait until part two, Juju. Because all of that is gonna get resolved in an even more potentially depressing way. It's such a beautiful movie. But you're right. Like you go in thinking, oh, it's gonna be fun and bright colors and song and dance and there's Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande and actually it's essentially a civil rights movie. You're right.

[Jeremy]

Right. Bullying 101. Holy moly. But yeah, it was still like you said, the film was phenomenally shot. Every scene was just beautiful, spectacular. The songs. I give it a 10 on my. On my greatness.

[Juju]

Wow. Pardon me, juju.

[Listener]

Are you mental choked up? Are you mentally prepared for it to be Bill's Eagles N see.

[Jeremy]

Exactly. No, I'm not at all. I actually have. I'm glad you did that as well. I want to go ahead and thank the the world and thank God for a great year this year. It was spectacular, man. We had a good run the bills. We're going to see our dad this weekend and Patrick Mahomes and we know how that's going to go. And my Eagles, you know, I, I, I think Jayden Daniels, it's his time. Did you see what I see? Like, I don't think that, unfortunately, either of my teams are going to make it this week. So you can get my tears. I'm going to give my tears tomorrow, probably, but I have no hope. I'm just happy we made it this far. And that was, it was, it was a hell of a ride.

[Juju]

Wow. See, you sound like my wife when she's watching a Dolphins game. She's a fatalist. She's too afraid to be too optimistic because then you hurt yourself. But in all seriousness, there's a pretty good chance that you're going to get an Eagles Bill Super Bowl. I don't want to jinx you, but just based on the odds, there's a pretty good chance of that. If that happens, you have to root for somebody. Right. You can't be neutral in a Super bowl where you like both teams. So where do you lean there?

[Jeremy]

I actually do not lean. I mean, my Eagles. I've been blessed and fortunate to see my Eagles win the super bowl recently. So that's just Chef's kiss. You feel me?

[Juju]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

And also throw some bail money to the mayor of Philadelphia right quick. I watch the Eagles games every Sunday with drunken fans and everything. And I do a test. Like, sometimes I get that somebody will start the E. Hey. And I catch up. I'm like, oh, gee, Eagles.

[Listener]

It's a hard word to spell quickly.

[Juju]

Is it?

[Jeremy]

I've been there before. So I, I think I see how it happened. But I, you know what? I have been blessed to see an Eagle super bowl. So I would not hate it if my Buffalo Bills would go ahead and slay the dragon. But unfortunately, the way the brackets were set up this year, we ran into Patrick Mahomes, and we know how that's going to go. They even got Caitlin Clark on the side. Now, I don't see that going any other way than it's supposed to go.

[Juju]

Yeah, if you're, if you don't have a rooting interest, you almost have to root for the Bills, right, To win the Super Bowl. I mean, I remember in the, what was it like the early to mid-90s where they lost four Super Bowls in a row? Can you imagine making the super bowl four times in a row and losing each time? And if I remember correctly, they were lopsided.

[Listener]

I'm a Dolphins fan, so no, I could sign me up for that.

[Host]

Honestly, I wish that I could imagine.

[Listener]

I Would love four straight super bowl appearances.

[Jeremy]

Can't even.

[Listener]

I mean, honestly, from what I've had with the Dolphins, that means you're winning like a bunch of playoff games every year.

[Host]

I have never seen the Dolphins win a playoff game.

[Juju]

I know.

[Listener]

You're talking to a broken group.

[Jeremy]

You're right.

[Juju]

You're right.

[Jeremy]

And to the Bills fans credit and the Bills, like, the reason I love the Bills so much is because just the overall culture of the Bills like we see this week. Mark Andrews has been going through all of the backlash and every channel is turning, turning on him and saying how he didn't. He came up short or whatever. Bill's mafia has stepped up and put so much money into his charity this week. Salute. Hats off to Bill's mafia man for always being stand up individuals, man. It makes me very proud to be a Bills fan and a member of Bill's mafia. So, yeah, man, you've talked me into it. I would rather see the Bills get it done if. If it was that scenario, but hey, unfortunately neither one of them made it this year.

[Juju]

Now I have to ask you, let's say you're tailgating before a Bills game, dead, a winner. What does it take to get you to be one of those fans that jumps on the table and crushes the table? Have you seen that?

[Listener]

Everyone has seen that?

[Juju]

Like insane. Like it's literally dangerous to your body to do that. But have you seen that? Would you do that? Would you do that?

[Jeremy]

Absolutely, I absolutely would do that. All I need is an invite. You know, I'm always there around the circle and I'm usually one of the minority, if you will. So I'm never really invited up the ladder, but somebody invite me up that ladder, I will go through that table with open arms. You did me. And an elbow.

[Listener]

What's the deal with these table jumpers?

[Juju]

That's right. By the way, Juju and. And Christopher, how do we end this thing? Like.

[Jeremy]

Like, I got. I got a way to end it.

[Juju]

Okay, good.

[Listener]

Thanks for asking though, dad.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, yeah. And a couple of weeks ago, me and you boasted about how me and you were going to meet in the championship. He was going to go here and there.

[Juju]

Oh, my God.

[Jeremy]

We both fell short. But the third place game was still worth 300, you know, and you know, someone came out the victor with neither here nor there. But before we get out of here, is Martin short a comedy immortal 67 of the audience says yes, 33 says no. Wow. And. And it's Super Dave. And immortal 70 of the audience says yes. All right, I'm gonna go through these a little quicker today. Do. Do you fire your best man if your bachelor party is at the aquarium? I'm sorry, Jeremy. 83% of the audience says, yes, you do.

[Host]

There are circumstances the audience is not taking into account.

[Jeremy]

Oh, right. And lastly, lastly, could you fool Gronk with a handful of lollipops? 92% of the audience says, yes, you can.

[Juju]

Wow. What's the record? It's never been 100%. Right. The record's got to be, like, 96, I'm guessing, right?

[Jeremy]

There's always a butt munched out there that just votes no just because. Salute to him. You're my brother.

[Juju]

Exactly.

[Listener]

Jeremy was doing mushrooms out the ass.

[Juju]

Wow.

[Venmo Advertiser]

Relax.
