WARNING: Never diss JOBU. Cody did one time, and we can't discuss what happened next. Please, don't ask, let's just move on to one of our favorite pastimes -- SPORTS MOVIES. There are a lot of great ones out there, especially from the '80s and '90s, where really everything peaked entertainment-wise. But If your favorite sweatstained, jock strapped, helmet wearing flick isn't on here, please let us know. But we're pretty sure we've seen them all, because hey, this is our 100th EPISODE. And you don't get to 100 episodes without watching tons and tons of stuff.

And one more thing. Cody starts us off by saying this is "episode 99." But like it reads up top, it's episode 100. Pray to Jobu that Cody learns to count. He likes RUM. Not Cody, Jobu. Make it top shelf. That reminds me, I have a rum ham soaking in the kitchen. Enjoy the show.
