  • [08:00] JuJu:
    “Hey, yo, Steve Kerr, you joker of jokes of joker town... if you put me on the sideline and say, hey, Jew, coach this team to a championship that has Kevin Durant on it, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green—guess what I would have did that year? I would have coast him right up to that championship, believe you me... Jonathan Kuminga—welcome to Atlanta... 27 big points, seven big rebounds, nine for 12 shooting... while Steve Kerr said that man can’t find no time for him in Golden State. Boy, stop, man.”

---

6. Warriors’ System Debate

• Discussion follows on why Kuminga didn’t fit the Warriors’ system, despite showing out for Atlanta.
  • [09:04] Dominique Foxworth: “I don’t think so, because he just didn’t. It doesn’t fit. Sometimes guys don’t fit.”
  • [09:12] “Are we going to change the Steph Curry system that won four titles for Jonathan Kuminga? No, we’re not going to do that either.”

---

Transcript

[Dave]

All right, Greg Cody. That was mean. Yes, Greg Cody. Wasn't me or your son did it. All right. Your son cut you off there.

[Juju]

Yeah.

[Dave]

That. We were not in cahoots. I was trying to set you up. I want to know.

[Greg Cody]

You did a terrible job setting up

[Juju]

is what you did.

[Dave]

I handed him a little bit of a grenade. I did. But again, I mean, if he didn't ruffle the feathers for. Ruffle the. The papers for 30 seconds, you know, we would have gotten it out. All right, give it to us, dad.

[Juju]

Okay, number 35.

[Greg Cody]

Let's go,

[Juju]

states.

[Greg Cody]

Wow, that's low high. I don't know what it is. It's. It. I thought it'd be better.

[Dave]

Did you see that Mike Ryan, when he was handed the microphone at 11 the other night to pump up the crowd with Team USA celebrating?

[Juju]

Yes.

[Dave]

He closed with a let's go, States.

[Juju]

I was honored by that.

[Greg Cody]

How about that?

[Juju]

Very honored.

[Dave]

You weren't there, were you?

[Dominique Foxworth]

I was.

[Juju]

No, I was past my bedtime. Yeah, you didn't make it.

[Dave]

Let's bring juju aboard. Hello, Juju.

[Juju]

What's up, my brothers? I'm coming correctly today for the Miami show since that turncoat Dave Dan doesn't know how to appreciate good content and he wants to wipe it with his behind and says black and yellow over bread. White and blue.

[Greg Cody]

That's what I said, and I stand by it. And did I see you when I was in the penalty box? I hope I didn't see what I think I saw, which was you put a terrible towel towards your butt.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Whoa.

[Greg Cody]

Did that happen because.

[Juju]

No, it wasn't. Terrible towel.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, okay.

[Juju]

It was one of those terrible Steelers jerseys. Jerseys with the stripes, the black and yellow.

[Greg Cody]

The Bumblebees and the white. Are you. That's a great. That. That, by the way, is a great uniform. That uniform sucks. Oh, I. You just lost all credibility.

[Juju]

I love.

[Greg Cody]

I'll criticize Steelers uniforms. I don't like the gold helmets with the white pants. I hate those. But the. But the jailbreak uniforms were great. I'm with Dave on this. I kind of like those. They were good. But juju, you make a bold fashion play here yourself. You have a Dan Marino era jersey on. Dolphins. But your ball cap says 21st century dolphins logo. The one that plays without a helmet. It's unsafe. What message are we sending to the kids and fish of the world? You can play football without a helmet now. Fat outrageous.

[Juju]

You're right, bro. This is era on era crime. But I happen to be headly challenged. I Have one of the biggest heads in the entire world, I guess. Ask me what size you got big heads. Embarrassing.

[Greg Cody]

Headley challenge. What size fitted you?

[Juju]

Headley challenge, bruh. I wear a eight and a half.

[Dave]

What?

[Juju]

It's the hair.

[Greg Cody]

I wear seven. And I got a big head. I got a big ass. What do you wear?

[Dave]

I don't know, honestly.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Equator.

[Juju]

Right? That's why if you see me with a hat on, bro, commend me and clap the hands because I can't believe I found this in the eight and a half. You feel so. Yeah, man. But I'm glad kind of a little bit because I. I saw how Zaz started the show. He put the hat on today, and I was like, damn. I was feeling bad.

[Greg Cody]

I felt bad too, because.

[Juju]

Right. Because luckily Dave was a turncoat yesterday. Because my notes from yesterday, my intro notes, was, zaz, boy, you looking like a soccer ball. Boy, you looking like a basketball. Boy, you looking like a golf ball. Boy, you looking like a bowling ball. So I'm glad.

[Greg Cody]

I felt bad.

[Juju]

All good. I felt real bad.

[Dave]

So just to be clear again, you felt bad, though?

[Juju]

I felt really okay. You said you just threw in a big ass head. So I was like, okay.

[Greg Cody]

He was gonna. He would have done that yesterday if he were a bad guy. He would have made. He would have read all of that.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Gotcha.

[Greg Cody]

Thank goodness he's not.

[Dave]

Thank you for saving that.

[Dominique Foxworth]

While we're on the topic really quick, I just realized now why Zaz usually wears, like, the flex hats. Right. Because with the. The dad hat or a snapback, it's all you could. And that exposed skin above the strap lets you know how much more cranium is happening.

[Greg Cody]

There we are.

[Juju]

Yeah.

[Dominique Foxworth]

You.

[Greg Cody]

I don't feel good with the button. If it were the snap button ones that you put it in, you'd still see. It'd be the last one. Right? Right. You can't have the last one. You can't even look at Zaza.

[Dave]

This is all Dominique Foxworth's fault because he decided to say that I look like Megamon. I'm like, that.

[Juju]

You do not look like Mega man bro.

[Dave]

Juju. We were talking earlier in the show about where we were the first time we saw the scene in basic instinc. Do you have a. Do you have a top five here with us for. For movies that were something totally different now than when you were a child?

[Juju]

Yes. Oh, my God. Exactly.

[Greg Cody]

It happens to have exactly that.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Yeah.

[Juju]

I got a top five movies from my childhood that at some point during the movie the movie became about something totally different for me and my young self on my couch.

[Greg Cody]

That you can think of.

[Juju]

Oh, well, I will lie. Total Recall.

[Dave]

Oh, yeah. Come on. What's better than two, three?

[Dominique Foxworth]

Wait, what did you think it was,

[Juju]

right? I thought I was watching the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie in space. Arnold does space. I'm like, oh, man, let's watch this, mommy. And then you said three of those guys. Wow. Number five, 16 candles, man.

[Dominique Foxworth]

What do you think?

[Juju]

No, but it was a funny, awesome movie as a. I was watching as a kid, and then all of a sudden, they go to the locker room, and I'm like, whoa, what's happening here? Number four. Number four, Trading Places. Oh, yeah. What a movie. I I, Bro.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Man. Yeah.

[Juju]

I was watching Eddie Murphy versus Dan Aykroyd. Vehicle. A comedy vehicle. Was it a vehicle?

[Greg Cody]

Now we got to see Jamie Lee Curtis. Not got to. But Jamie Lee Curtis shows her bosoms. But she's already. The weird message is she takes off her wig. So now we're supposed to see her as a little less attractive. But. But the make good is her bosoms. Times two make great.

[Juju]

The make great was. She still was beautiful with the short hair as well. Number three, Fast times at Ridgemont High.

[Dave]

Oh, baby Cates.

[Juju]

Come on, son. Oh, my goodness. It was me and Jeff Spicoli. I was one of the guys with Jeff Spicoli. Enjoy. In the movie. And then all of a sudden, ask that brother. We got action as a kid. Number two, swordfish.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, yeah. My brother.

[Dominique Foxworth]

You know what the problem with Hollywood is?

[Juju]

I was watching the action movie. I was literally watching an action movie. And then I was not.

[Dave]

Is that the only movie where Halle Berry's topless?

[Juju]

No, it's not. I can give you a list. I'll text it to you.

[Greg Cody]

Top five Halle Berry new scenes. This has been a really great show today.

[Juju]

And number one, I was watching a criminal. A criminal. And then the cops decided to interrogate this criminal. And then I stopped caring about her crimes. You already know Basic Instinct.

[Dave]

She can kill as many men with an ice pick as she pleases.

[Juju]

Yes, sir, man.

[Greg Cody]

Juju is. Is our Jewish friend Tashay pulling off the Michael Douglas and Basic Instinct. Look here. The V neck sweater with nothing underneath.

[Juju]

Come on, man. I'm my brother player today. It take courage to pull up in that V that low. Man, that peach fuzz working your V was that low.

[Greg Cody]

You did.

[Juju]

Come on, man. Hold on. Jeremy, you got something right here. Jeremy, you got something right there on your shoulder. Yep. Get that Off. There he is.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Gold chain two.

[Greg Cody]

He's just. This guy's just trying to get someone to say I don't look good. You know what's gonna happen. It's impossible. Untrue. How dare you attack me.

[Dave]

Juju, you got a joker of the day today.

[Juju]

Yeah, I got a joker of the day, Dave. You about to get part two of that Joker of the day.

[Greg Cody]

Don't.

[Juju]

Get off my brother. Jeremy, leave him alone.

[Greg Cody]

But yes, I am supportive of his fashion. His bold fashion. Stroke, please.

[Juju]

Hey, yo. Hey, yo, Steve Kerr, you joker of jokes of joker town. Not only do I feel like Dave, if you put me on the sideline and say, hey, Jew, I coach this team to a championship that has Kevin Durant on it. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green. Guess what I would have did that year? I would have coast him right up to that championship, believe you me. But he's a joker of the day because. Jonathan Kaminga. Welcome to Atlanta, where the players play and respect you around here, brother. 27 big points, seven big rebounds, nine for 12 shooting while going three or four from three. And Steve Kerr said that, man, can't find no time for him in Golden State. Boy, stop, man.

[Dave]

I mean, is Steve Kerr going to. Or I guess we should say the Warriors. Like, are we going to look back and say that they were really stupid about this?

[Dominique Foxworth]

I don't think so, because he just didn't. It doesn't fit. Sometimes guys don't fit.

[Dave]

They seem to be more about, like, we need guys who fit into what we're doing as opposed to the other way around.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Yeah, they have a very specific system. When you got a guy like Curry, you play a certain way and is that. Does that help Jonathan Kaminga? Absolutely not. Like. But again, are we going to change the Steph Curry system that won four titles for Jonathan Kaminga? No, we're not going to do that either.

[Dave]

You see last night with Steph Curry not in the lineup, how the Pelicans were not guarding Draymond Green all night long.

[Dominique Foxworth]

Yeah, I mean, look, the. The whole threat of Draymond Green when Steph is on the floor is if you don't guard him, he can dribble handoff. And then now Steph is wide open. But again, if you don't have that kind of threat out there, it changes. Changes everything.

[Dave]

Juju, let's get to some polls. What do you got for us here, man?

[Juju]

Yes, sir, man. Let's get to some poll. Let me pull them up right quick. Also, happy birthday, Fred Van Vliet. We love you here, brother. As you know better song. Push it to the limits or take it to the limit? 57 of the audience says push it to the limit.

[Dave]

Oh, yeah.

[Juju]

Porter, Miami.

[Dave]

Yep.

[Juju]

You dig? Also listener of the day. Today we're going to give it to Kelly Francis. 9,364. Salute. And last poll. Who is less impressive, Troy Aikman or Terry Bradshaw?

[Greg Cody]

It's big.

[Juju]

66 of the audience says Terry Bradshaw.

[Greg Cody]

Of course. Of course. Who's ever more recent is going to win?

[Dominique Foxworth]

People have spoken.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Juju]

And loudly.

[Greg Cody]

Damascus on the way out here. Crosby's out four weeks. I'm just sick in my balls. Just sick how I was able to go this whole show with that information and still and still put forth a good effort.

[Juju]

Third best Crosby of all time after David and Bing.

[Greg Cody]

Shame on you and Dave Bing. Time nor inclination to put up with this crap.

[Dave]

Thanks, Juju.

[Juju]

Thank y'. All. On the way out. I'm so sorry for this. We had a great out. But if Chris Sale ever challenges a pitch, suspend him for l.
