I'm not gonna be the one to make the verdict, but it's not completely over yet. But just in case the game is closer than I think it was, we got the closer in here.

Juju Gotti with that fly ass jersey on. What's up, big dog? What's up, my brothers? How y'all doing? It's good to see y'all in the building. You feel me? I'm gonna kick it off by saying I'm a 4.97. Ooh!

I'm a strong. And I know what happened that one time. I got scooped up from the club. Yeah, you said it. I got scooped up from the club. Yeah, you said it. I got scooped up from the club and the entire ride, the driver kept letting down the windows. It was like, whew, you guys smell like marijuana. You know what I mean?

And so I was like, you picked me up from the club, big brother. Brother left me one star. So I was like, man. That's just, yeah, that's the racism tax, man. Josh Freeman, is that what you got? See, he's still in the throwback era. Yeah, I love it.

I like that. That's what's up, man. Keeping it alive, man. Waycross's favorite son, Juju Gotti. You don't gotta defend yourself if you got a 9-7. Like, there's a lot of people around here putting together arguments to defend themselves, and 9-7 is great. Like, I was just excited, because I got a arguments to defend themselves, and 970 is great.

Like I was just excited, because I got a.9. .90 I thought was great. I thought I was crushing everybody in here, but we got like four people that are higher than me, right? Four or five people? Yeah. We got a nice crew, man. Like this is, there's a lot of nice guys around here.

I don't really like guys that are forward. I'd rather hang with a 4.7 than a 4.9. You don't, you're not living life. You know rather hang with a 4.7 than a 4.9. You're not living life. You know, there's too much that's passing you by. You're worried about stuff that doesn't matter. Like Billy, going through the process he goes into for high ratings.

What happens? Why do you need a high rating? Is it like- Why do I need one? Yeah, like does it limit your ability to get an Uber? Juju seemed very proud of his rating. I'm proud of my rating. So Juju, why do you think it's important

to have a high Uber rating? Cause I know why I think it's important. I mean, I don't know if it's important or not, but I get in tons, I feel like thousands of Ubers. Like I'm always traveling. So it surprised me whenever y'all was talking about it. I was like, dang, let me check my rating. I'm like, oh, your boy is in the percentile.

You serious? You're not serious. So I am conscious of that, and I also believe that it's a reflection on my character. So I'm extra nice. Juju is not even conscious of it. He's just so nice, generally. Like that he ends up, so I'm extra nice

because I want my rating to be good because I do believe it's a reflection on the type of person I am. See because I want my rating to be good because I do believe is a reflection on The type of person I don't I don't play these respective Respectability politics. I don't give a damn what an uber driver thinks about me Oh, that's it's cool to say I don't give a damn explains why you're a four-cell Okay, I'm not gonna put you in as far you you out here being defensive you care I don't care I promise I'm gonna try to get mine lower. I bet you by the time I come back here being defensive, you care. I'm not, I don't care, I promise. I'm gonna try to get mine lower. I bet you by the time I come back here on Friday,

I'm gonna be in the 4.6, just to prove a point. So you're gonna prove a point by treating people like shit? Yeah. What is this game? Because I don't treat people bad. And I don't judge myself on that. Clearly. So if you feel like you gotta give me a bad rating, because I might have came five or six minutes late,

or because I put my luggage in yourber and then proceeded to wait another 15 minutes and threw your day off Then that's on you my life is crazy awfully awfully defensive for someone who doesn't think that this is a Representation of how they treat people but whatever I will say juju's 4.97 is a black five basically 4.97 is a black five, basically. Because that's like the highest. As a black man, especially with dreads and tats. A black man? 5.97 with tattoos, sunglasses, and dreads?

Are you serious? Oh, they are automatically docking you. You work your way up from that three, you sit down with a three, you sit down with a three, and you leave with a five. Ha, ha, that man, Choo Choo. They almost gave that man his car. Oh, man. They love Choo Choo. They almost gave that man his car. Oh, man.

They won't feed you so damn much. That's nuts. Oh, Choo Choo. So, what from today's show? What you got for us? I got some notes. Y'all was talking about a comparable athlete to John Lennon. I wanna enter, I think John Lennon

may be Magic Johnson's career, you feel me? Cause it had, we all know magic was magic, but circumstances were circumstances. Juju, that's great. That is fantastic. Way to expand the league. Hell yeah. Also want to give some love to the women's final four.

You did, UConn, Texas, UCLA, South Carolina. Them girls from the get it Poppin' this Friday. So you know what I mean? Tune in and support women's sports. You got to know. Absolutely. Hell yeah. And Paige.

Also- We're all Team Paige. Oh yeah, Paige. Paige is the queen. Also, you know what I mean? In the game y'all have me, which I think today was a great game. I think yesterday was a great game.

You know, Kenan, you know what I mean? We're gonna get it together. But I feel like I'm the equipment manager in the situation and I'm not gonna wait to coach, tell me to go fill the water bottles up. I'm gonna keep them things filled up and say so I can quit some thirst whenever the thirst need quenching. You feel me? So I took it upon myself to make some polls out of the stuff I was talking about. You feel me? Way to go. So should the tush push be banned? 52% of the audience says, you know, it should not be banned.

That's insanely split. That's right down the middle. Yeah, no, I, he took some liberties with the polls and I'm glad that he did because there was a good one. Okay. Should the forward pass be banned? Okay. Is that down the middle?

59% of the audience says yes it should be. All right. Now I don't trust the first poll. So who will win in the foot race? Dominique, Hawk or Taylor? If Taylor wins, I might flip the desk again. 52% of the audience says Hawk would win. 27% of the audience says Dominique would win. And Taylor caught the scraps.

Look at my boy. That boy is ambiguous. I don't know what my dog is, but I love it. Yeah, man. He's everyone. Oh my gosh. Thank you Taylor. Also salute to the chat today,

Cloudfeet, Maloney Baloney, Greg Fox, Juan Dominguez, Raygon Charles, GBC Boy, and the Catfacito Crew Gaming. I see you guys. Last poll, is a Caesar wrap a salad? 67% of the audience says no. As a matter of fact it's not the last pose. I have one more pose. Sorry about that guys. Can everyone play the bongos? That's gotta be a yes. 67% of the audience says yes we can.

Back to you guys. Let's do awards for the show first of all, we're looking at that picture, Taylor. He looks like we are the world. Like I feel like when, when I, every time you put that picture up, I hear the song play in my head, we are the world. You know, when they genetically modify like the future, the future, man, everything just melts into one, what men look is what the men on the track team for North Carolina look like. In 2075.

400 years from now. He's what the UN aspires to be. Taylor, UN Taylor. Oh my gosh, so all right, let's do some show awards. I wanna kick off the first one. You know Hawk, when you have a real big, good game by the team, everybody gets a game ball. So I wanna give a game ball to the entire team in here,

out there, ship container, everyone in the video room. Congratulations, Juju, game ball for everybody. Way to go, y'all. You was on top of it in the video room. Every time I called for some video, boom, popped up. Never was. No hesitations. I got an award for Stop Me In My Tracks award. Hawk said an opposing player once told him that he was cute couldn't do anything with it

Couldn't tell just stop me in my tracks good good good. Thank you good fourth down stop right there Oh, thank you. You stop the tush push. I did that's how you do it. I have a the Steve Smith not award For a best definitive no, and I'm gonna give it to Charlie for stopping any Jim Laranaga talk. Oh, yeah, way to go. Nah, we're not doing that. Way to go. Way to go. Love the swap, but nah.

That's how we won game two. Yep, for sure. I would also, I would like to give the smoldering sex symbol award also to my boy Charlie in the back with the button number. Oh, that's cool. Oh, Charlie, the vanilla snack. When Nick was talking about that Jerry Rice outfit,

Charlie was like, come on, man, that sounds right up my alley. It sounds pretty good. Not tight enough. Jerry Rice had it things, skin tight. Could I give an award? Of course. Could I give the HIPAA award to all of us for not making fun of people with GERD today?

No. Way to go. I'll accept on our behalf. Please do. So who's going to win our Daily Award? Charlie Hume, maybe, for beating Dom. He didn't beat me. Dominique's Kat Lamar, I remember that name.

Oh, yeah. I like Lamar. I like Lamar a lot. Lamar wins it. I'm going to go with Taylor's headband. Taylor's headband. Yeah, that's a good one. I'm going to go with that.

I had another Taylor award. It was called the Participation Award for his roster spot on the UNC track team. Good job, Taylor. Way to show up. Way to show up. He was there. I would like to give an award to the man behind Taylor, who

somehow vision is so bad that that man got to wear glasses to run track. Jason is his name, I believe. Shout out to Jason. Jason. For name, I believe. Shout out to Jason. Jason. For need, I can't see them lines. Who ran unattached and just put his first name on his shirt. He said, Jason.

I'm Jason, I'ma run this 800 meter relay behind, look at Taylor, look at Taylor. In the nose, out the mouth. That's a textbook, man. I wanna give a word to Hawk. He was quarterback friendly today. Every time I needed it, out the mouth. That's a textbook, man. I want to give a word to Hawk. He was quarterback friendly today. Every time I needed it, Hawk was open. When any time I got tripped up, dropping to Hawk,

he go and get us four or five yards off that thing, keep the sticks rolling. I got to give one right back to Nick for comeback player of the show. Ooh! Yeah. He came in here with the strategy. And like Michael Jordan, we didn't always like it, right?

It wasn't always friendly. It wasn't always kumbaya, but he cares about winning and if you don't like that that's fine Somebody called me Michael Jordan on the street yesterday. This is amazing. Can you say can you tell this story really quickly? No, I can't I don't want to attribute everything to racism, but The fact that you're not bald But the fact that you're not bald alone. You look really crazy. You look nothing like Michael Jordan. I'm not even saying that. I mean, it's nuts.

It's nuts. And you're just much younger and more sober at this point. What was the context? You're just white, so I was like, Michael Jordan. That's exactly what happened. That's exactly what happened. I don't know. I was tired yesterday, so maybe my eyes were like Hennessy Brown.

So they were like, they were cognac tinted. Yeah, I had cognac tinted I whites and they were like, oh Can we get an award to the feeling nicey award to Chris Cody for the greatest Jake Rudin impersonation I've ever heard. The effects are incredible Robert. Oh. Oh, give me, I wanna. Ringo. Yeah. Where's Fat Rob? Hit us with a little Ringo. The Beatles.
