Aha! You forgot to put a colon after your if statement. Also, you made a typo in random.randint. Here is the fixed code:

import random

start = 5

def even_odd(num):
    return not num % 2

while start:
    random_number = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(random_number):
        print("{} is even".format(random_number))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(random_number))

    start -= 1
