Overview of Postgame Show: Happy Black History Month (feat. JuJu Gotti)
This Postgame Show episode (hosts: Dan Le Batard & Stugotz) features guest JuJu Gotti. The conversation mixes sports reaction, cultural commentary for Black History Month, hot-take policing, quick-hit polls, and a comic — sometimes blunt — rundown of bad movies. JuJu leads the episode’s critique segments, offers strong opinions on celebrities and media, and closes with a slate of audience poll results.
Key topics and structure
- Opening ads/promos: DraftKings Predictions and Venmo.
- Quick banter about on-air gaffes and a viral/controversial comment from Jeremy about watching a hypothetical Mike Vrabel stunt.
- JuJu Gotti’s Black History Month greeting and commentary on recent sports and cultural moments.
- Discussion of celebrity behavior (Chevy Chase controversy, Kai Cenat-type celebrity status).
- A strong endorsement of Peacock’s reality show The Traitors (and a shout-out to Ron Funches’ appearance).
- A “no good movies anymore” debate that turns into JuJu’s top-five “ass” movies list for 2025.
- A set of audience poll results read and reacted to by the hosts.
Notable moments & takeaways
- JuJu opens with “Happy Black History Month” and uses the segment to center cultural critique alongside sports.
- Sports note: JuJu praises boxer Shakur Stevenson for a decisive moment that “humbled” an opponent who’d been acting problematically; he says the opponent later apologized.
- On policing hot takes: the panel revisits several recent on-air statements, with particular focus on Jeremy’s remark that he “would watch” Mike Vrabel cut off his penis — a line that drew incredulous reactions from the group and became a recurring joke.
- Celebrity take: JuJu calls out the phenomenon of “low-end celebrity” (example cited: Kai Cenat), arguing that being popular with young audiences doesn’t automatically make someone a high-end public figure.
- Chevy Chase: JuJu criticizes the recent soft treatment Chase received from some commentators, reminding listeners of Chase’s past use of the N-word in contexts he defended via Richard Pryor.
- TV rec: JuJu recommends The Traitors on Peacock as a can’t-miss reality show — praises its drama, guessing-fueled gameplay, and entertainment value (mentions Ron Funches’ involvement).
JuJu’s “Top 5 Ass Movies of 2025” (comic roast)
(Hosts treat this as early/subjective; JuJu calls these movies “ass”)
- #5 — Ice Cube’s War of the Worlds (very poor Rotten Tomatoes reception; JuJu tried to watch multiple times and quit)
- #4 — Novocaine (disappointing, despite a cast he usually likes)
- #3 — The Running Man (remake; lacked plot and homage, felt lame)
- #2 — “Bagonia” (transcript unclear on exact title — JuJu found it predictable despite big names)
- #1 — Film starring Marlon Wayans (described as a “quarterback horror film”; JuJu called it shameful, though he tips his hat to people getting paid)
(Note: some movie titles in the conversation are garbled in the transcript; JuJu’s main point is that several recent films have been flat or too predictable.)

Notable quotes
- JuJu: “Happy Black History Month, everybody.”
- Panel on Jeremy’s comment: “He stands on that.” (hosts teasing Jeremy for doubling down)
- JuJu on celebrity culture: “That’s a low-end celebrity… young people knowing them doesn’t make them high-end.”
- JuJu on The Traitors (Peacock): “This should be a required watch… wrong accusation after wrong accusation… I was front and center.”
Recommendations & action items from the episode
- Watch The Traitors on Peacock — JuJu highly recommends it for its guessing-game entertainment.
- Be skeptical of bold on-air takes; the hosts mock and revisit recent hot takes as a reminder to think before doubling down.
- If you care about contemporary pop culture debates, note JuJu’s callouts: reevaluate the praise for certain celebrities and call out problematic past behavior rather than glossing over it.
Bottom line
This episode blends sports reaction, cultural critique for Black History Month, comedic roasting of recent films, and audience engagement through polls. JuJu Gotti acts as the blunt, opinionated foil — calling out celebrity behavior, praising reality-TV drama, and dispensing no-nonsense cultural takes. Listeners get a quick, opinion-heavy roundup rather than deep analysis.
