[Host 1]

Before we get to juju, let's do the boldest take of the week. It's the Boost Mobile boldest take, and it's presented by Boost Mobile, the newest 5G network in the country.

[Chris Sims]

Anyone who opens a Monday work call with Happy Monday should be immediately fired. No kid has ever said the word, when I grow up, I want to be Chris Sims. The biggest fire machine is a combine harvester. Does anyone know notice that Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O' Connell looks like Billy Gill if he had 50% more testosterone? I think we've graduated past the need for regular stuffed Oreos. I think we're looking at double stuffed Oreos or mega stuff. From here on out, we only need, like, five types of pasta. All the other stuff is just showing off and doesn't make any difference. It's Ron McGill, the animal man. He's not a doctor, but he has a plan. His endowment is large, yet he doesn't commit Fraud. It's Ron McGill. And now he's on. One beer is always one beer more than any other food. McDonald's will make your first fart taste like your last bite. Love the show, but I think I hate you guys. Can someone please ask Ron McGill if insects get stoned when you blow weed smoke at them?

[Dan]

Good question.

[Mike]

Yeah, that one's up there.

[Host 1]

I've always thought.

[Billy Gill]

I've always thought so.

[Host 1]

I used to do it to my dog.

[Greg]

The first fart smells like the last bite.

[Mike]

You admitted that.

[Greg]

The first fart smells like the last bite tastes like the last bite.

[Mike]

Chris Sims. One felt harsh.

[Greg]

That was mean.

[Mike]

That was a hard truth.

[Greg]

That was cruel. Billy, why did it delight you so much?

[Billy Gill]

Because he sucks.

[Greg]

305, 4 8, 6. Gots. 305, 486. 4. 4689 is the number if you want to do the boost. What are you laughing about, Chris?

[Chris Sims]

No kid has ever said the word, when I grow up, I want to be Chris Sims.

[Greg]

Damn brutal. It's cruel. And true. And true. But he and Kyle Shanahan are the ones who got their tattoos of each other, their initials in college, correct?

[Mike]

Yes. Plenty of people say they want to be Kyle Shanahan when they grow up. No doubt. Not Chris Sims.

[Greg]

But nobody likes Chris Sims.

[Mike]

No one wants to be Chris Sims when they're. When they're dream mapping.

[Billy Gill]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Okay. What are you laughing about, Greg?

[Dan]

Well, the idea that somebody in America right now is saying, I want to be Chris Simms. It's nothing against Chris Sims.

[Greg]

He's got a great media career.

[Dan]

But why do you pick him, though? I mean, I think you pick the guy who used to be a great quarterback and also has a great.

[Greg]

Well, no, but I mean, didn't he almost, like. Didn't someone tear out his spleen during one of his seven starts?

[Mike]

No, he had a spleen injury, but it wasn't torn out physically by someone else.

[Billy Gill]

I guess a doctor tore it out afterwards.

[Mike]

I'd remember that.

[Greg]

I thought somebody did it. Like one of those cartoon fish that you just see with skeletons. Somebody threw. I don't know. I thought. I felt like somebody. How many games did he start? I don't want to disparage Chris here.

[Mike]

It's too late. That guy already dead.

[Juju]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah. He's no Phil.

[Mike]

Truth teller. Sup, juju?

[Billy Gill]

What up?

[Juju]

Yeah, one beer is always one beer as well. Salute.

[Host 1]

Got lost there.

[Greg]

Greg. Cody has some hygiene issues. And I should say that before this segment started, he was still muttering under his breath, a white car. Why would she get me a white car? Did she think I was gonna need a white suit to get to the disco? Like, he's still complaining about it during the break.

[Dan]

Yeah, I'm gonna hear about that later. I'll tell you what, I'm regretting all of this white car stuff, but the truth is the truth. Right, juju? I mean, yeah, it is.

[Host 1]

The truth is the truth.

[Greg]

The truth is the truth. But where does juju land on the Earlene? Erlene should feel disrespected. A gift. White Corvette. He didn't like the color. Didn't tell her until 30 years later.

[Dan]

Right, right.

[Juju]

And that should definitely be your bet with Nick Wright. Like 5005 Schmiles. And whoever wins that bet, the other person gets a white Corvette.

[Dan]

There you go. There you go.

[Greg]

That's a better bet, is it not?

[Dan]

I think more expensive, you know?

[Juju]

Yeah, used.

[Greg]

Used. I got to figure out how to do this. I got to figure out how the bet sponsored somehow by. By Corvette. Help me figure that out, would you?

[Dan]

All?

[Greg]

Thank you. Okay, I'm on it. Yeah, everybody just get on that immediately.

[Billy Gill]

Till Sunday, everyone.

[Greg]

No, but I'm. Yes. Not until I need a sponsor before that so that we can actually monetize this because I want it to be a big bet. It can be a white Corvette bet, sure. But what do you think's going to happen when you get home? Because your argument, you were, you were mad. And I don't think that juju, this isn't even the topic that juju would be interested in. I would think that juju would be very interested in your lack of, your general lack of hyp hygiene.

[Dan]

Well, on the, on the white car matter, it will be a one way conversation that begins with her saying the phrase I can't believe that's the way it will begin and it'll go downhill from there for me.

[Greg]

Juju, do you have a ruling on him coming in without showering?

[Juju]

Neri Sands, friends of the show says you have to shower after going out the night before. And I agree with Neri Bruh. Like you don't walk through probably like 13 sneezes that you didn't see a coup cops. You just walk right through it like cologne. And at least your elbows, you got at least watch the elbows before you put those same elbows that were on the table in the locker room on your bed sheets. Oh man.

[Dan]

All right. As Nana Doogie said, you got to eat a peck of dirt before you die. I'm in an air conditioned building all night. I'm not on the ice playing hockey and sweating. I had taken a shower just before I went to the game. It's, it's still less than 24 hours. And I'll take another shower this evening probably. You know, that kind of thing. That kind of thing. I mean, I spit the truth. Not everybody admits that sometimes they go two days in a row without showering. Two days.

[Juju]

Two days.

[Mike]

Where'd this second day come from?

[Dan]

That's why God invented deodorant, my friends. No, that's not why.

[Billy Gill]

No, I'm just saying I'm on Carfax and I found a used 1993 Chevy Corvette base in, in Springfield, Illinois for $3,995.

[Mike]

That is such an inconvenient gift.

[Greg]

That's really. That should be the best.

[Mike]

That is such a, like congratulations.

[Greg]

I love it. Figure out how to get me and Nick to bet a used white Corvette on Lion's Chiefs. Make it the most.

[Mike]

Just got to park that thing in New York. Congratulations.

[Dan]

If you're buying a $3,000 Corvette, it's sitting on cinder block.

[Greg]

Let's figure out how to do it. Let's, let's do that juju, you're getting back to your live stream tonight. I have missed it. You, Trista, are inviting Roz on. So now the three of you really are going to break this down tonight and and cover the WNBA a hell of a lot better than this show has. I talked about a wheel play for nine minutes today.

[Juju]

Yes, sir. I can't wait, man. We're going live tonight after the WNBA finals game to give you a quick response to some good just banter. Come in, everybody who if you don't know the wnba, if you do know the wnba, everybody's invited, man. Just come in and talk crap. Talk about my nose. Talk about something the way I talk. Just pull up. Nice car. I would take that car.

[Billy Gill]

I think I would too, right? Like even if it's not my primary car, I'd take this as my primary car. Why not?

[Dan]

Okay, that's not bad actually.

[Billy Gill]

How do we get this thing? Cuz Dan just said, all right, someone make this happen and walked out.

[Dan]

That's got to be more than 3,000 bucks.

[Billy Gill]

Well, it has 97,000 miles and it is 32 years old.

[Dan]

The resale is surprisingly good on those cars.

[Billy Gill]

I'll tell you what, Steel, steal the picture right now has a price. Hang on. This is 6009. 95. So it looks like you get a $3,000 off.

[Dan]

Wow. Yeah, but how much that cost to ship it here though?

[Billy Gill]

Well, that's. I think that's part of the adventure, right? You just fly over there, you drive it back.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Billy Gill]

Cross country.

[Dan]

Maybe a helicopter.

[Billy Gill]

Probably not.

[Dan]

No.

[Billy Gill]

Maybe juju.

[Host 1]

For those of us who want to join you on the livestream but haven't been following much of the WNBA playoffs or these finals. What should we be looking for in this game tonight before we join you?

[Juju]

You don't push somebody in the corner. You don't push what they say in the corner. A feral dog, whatever. Maybe so baby as well. Whatever you don't put in the corner. The Venus Mercury. Are that tonight?

[Mike]

You got the reference?

[Juju]

Mercury.

[Mike]

Juju gets a reference. I know him pretty well. I think his favorite movie is Dirty Dancing.

[Juju]

Great segue, because I also wanted to guess you guys favorite movies because I heard the segment and I was like, you know what? He looks like that, you know. So I'm gonna start from the top. Greg gave us his first movie that he loves the most, the wizard of Oz. But I'm willing to guarantee that his second favorite movie ever is the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

[Dan]

I know it. I watched it. Now I do. That was the Days of like, Godzilla and King Kong and all those kind of things. The original, the black and whites. Damn.

[Mike]

Hell, yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Juju]

We know Dan's favorite movie is Heat, so we don't even need points for that. Chris Cody, you look like an Austin Powers the Spy who Shagged Me guy.

[Dan]

Do I make you horny, baby?

[Greg]

Who throws the shoe?

[Dan]

I love that movie.

[Juju]

Nailed it. Billy. Gill, my brother, this was kind of hard. I think you enjoy me, myself and Irene the most.

[Billy Gill]

Good. I'll take it. I'll take it.

[Host 1]

Good flick.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Juju]

That is second place.

[Billy Gill]

Hey, Milky.

[Juju]

Second place was acement or a pet detective, but neither here nor there. Mike, my brother, this was rough because you are a buff, a film buff. And I know how much Top Gun to change the trajectory of Earth. But I'm thinking Con Air may have edged it out.

[Mike]

Con Air is a great flick. It's Fight Club. I'm one of those.

[Juju]

Tyler Durden. Damn it. And Jeremy, last but not least. Come on, man. High School Musical.

[Host 1]

You know, accurate as hell.

[Billy Gill]

I was gonna say the Notebook.

[Host 1]

Oh, come on. High School Musical. And two and three. And let me just say, I got confirmation from Lucy herself, my guest of Almost Famous.

[Greg]

Correct.

[Host 1]

Almost Famous and Shrek, her two favorite.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Host 1]

If you got two, you got none.

[Dan]

Yep.

[Host 1]

I said, what is your favorite movie? And why did I think it's Almost Famous? And she said, it's Almost Famous and Shrek. Feel like she was just being nice to you there.

[Juju]

Also, Senator Cory Booker definitely on that ladder, right? Is that what he got?

[Greg]

He made it seem like he on the ladder.

[Juju]

He definitely on that ladder.

[Greg]

Sure.

[Dan]

I didn't have the guts to ask.

[Mike]

Him, but I'm glad we're set it back here.

[Greg]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You definitely on that ladder. Put it on the pool.
