I just ask them to bring code, and tell them we're going to talk about it.
It doesn't have to be their own (it normally is though). It doesn't have to be good code (nobody has yet brought bad code, but I wouldn't really care).
I would rather talk to somebody in their own code and language. If they can't explain it to me, then that's a data point, too.
