The Lions offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, has agreed to a deal to become the Chicago

Bears' next head coach. Johnson has been the Lions offensive coordinator for the past three seasons. And if I'm not mistaken, I think they finished in the top five in offense. Each of those seasons, he will fill the job vacated by Matt Eberfluss when they fired him on November 29th. Johnson will become the 19th head coach in French, the 105 year franchise existence. Ocho, do you like the hire? You got damn right.

I like the hire. You got damn right. Now, listen, we talk about Ben Johnson now. This, we talk about Ben Johnson that worked wonders with Jerry golf, worked wonders offensively with that offense, the creativity that is amazed all of us all season long. Now, you know, Dan Campbell loves to go forward on fourth down. Why do you think he's so confident in doing some of the things he does as

a head coach because of Ben Johnson and what he's able to do. So I look at it from this standpoint, you got Jameson Williams, you got Amon Ross Lane Brown, you got the Porter. Now you go to another supporting cast in Chicago that different skill sets, but they get the job done very well. Right. We have a great quarterback, dual threat quarterback who's a little bit more mobile, a little bit more agile, can play off script a little better than golf. And Candid Williams, he's a good thrower of the ball as well. This is going to be a perfect relationship, not only for Ben Johnson, but for Candid William in his career. I guarantee you, and I'm gonna put it out

there right now, and it's gonna be an I told you so moment when the season starts and we went about, we went about maybe week seven or week eight and then be like, I told you so. Caleb Williams being one of the top quarterbacks in the league statistically because of Ben Johnson and his creativity and his office of prowess. Wow. I like to hire. I like to hire also. What I don't like,

but I like to hire. I like to hire also. But what I don't like, What? Chicago and New England doing that fake stuff, bring black coaches in there when they know damn well they're not gonna hire. Oh, like these people in there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They brought 80 Georgia in there. And you know, look, if you, you gotta take it. Yeah, yeah. You know damn well they want, excuse me, excuse me. But you know good and D-well.

You know good, you know good and D-Well. You know good and D-Well, you wanted Ben Johnson. But Ocho, hey, the Rooney rule, I gotta get that quota. Same thing in New England. New England, y'all brought two Blacks, y'all brought Pep Hamilton in, y'all brought this other Black. You know good and well, Byron Lefwich. Y'all know good, first of all, Byron Lefwich been out of the league for what, two years?

Mm-hmm. And y'all gonna bring him in. Now he ain't got no office, according to him, but y'all brought him in. And see y'all, what y'all did, the Patriots did that thing so good, they brought two of them in. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, mean, listen, they have to check the boxes. They got to check the boxes. Like you said, they got to meet the quota.

You have to satisfy the rule that's in place that's really not working. Ain't got no tea to it. But look, I like to hire. I like Ben Johnson. I like what he did. You mentioned it. He has a quarterback that's more mobile. He has very good look. You got Roman Dunze. They took it the first round for the Bears. You got DJ Moore that you signed to a contract extension.

You got Kenan Allen. I think Kenan Allen is a free agent, so you probably bring him back because he came on strong at the end of the year. He's that guy that he's not as fast, he's not as quick as Amon Ra in the slot, but he gets it done. He got tremendous moves.

He got great hands. I like him. He's a big body. He can body you up. So got great hands. I like him. He's a big body. Uh, he can body, you know, he can body you up. So I like that. I like that. Uh, I don't really know they're running by situation. You're going to have to improve the offensive line. That's one thing. Huh? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, offensive line and you'll probably get better because you look at what

they got in, uh, in Detroit. You know, you got Penesul who was a pro bowler, all pro. You got Zyteley, you got Decker. You got glass, you got Penesul, who's a pro bowler, all pro. You got Zeitler, you got Glassmow, you got Decker, you got Ragnar. You got, you know, Detroit has a very good offensive line. And so you're gonna have to get that up the par in Chicago because your quarterback took 60 plus sacks. That's too many, Ocho. That's way too many sacks.

Now all of it is not on the offensive line. Caleb Williams gonna have to do a better job of getting rid of the football. It's okay to throw it away. Cause sometimes I think guys, they get caught up, oh Joe, well, I'm gonna mess up my completion percentage. Bro, throw that damn ball away. You don't wanna be taking all those hits.

Right, right. But I like to hire. I'm sure they got money and cap space that they can improve this team. I love the hire by Ben Johnson. I got no qualms about that hire. He's put his time in as an offensive coordinator, as an offensive coach.

I think it was the right time for him to get this job. So I really like the hire. I'm a little surprised that he went in the same division. As his former boss normally, they get away, Ocho, but hey, that was the best situation. I always thought that the Bears, for me, that was the best situation that was available. To me. Now, I mean, other people and people like the Raiders, you know, cause Tom Brady, Tom Brady didn't play a quarterback.

Ain't none of the workmen over there, huh? No, no, no. None of the workmen over there. Ain't got no quarterback. No. Yeah. So you understood that that was the best fit, especially for him and what he there on the quarterback. No. Yeah. So you, you understood that that was, that was the best fit, especially for him and what he brings to the table.

Yeah. I thought that was the bet. I thought that the jets, you got the jet situation. You got a lot of stuff going on with the jets. What are the, what are the, what are the job is available? Oh Joe, the jets was available. Uh, the saints, um, um, hopefully, uh,.G. get the Saints or the Jets. I know, I think he, you know, he obviously,

A.G. played with the Jets, Haley played with the Saints also. He was on the defensive side, he was on Sean Payton's staff when he was at the Saints. So, but hopefully he gets one of these jobs. But it's gonna be tough without a quarterback. You gotta find a quarterback, Coach O. Without that, you don't really have a chance to have longevity.

Your lease is going to be short. The lease is very short if you ain't got no quarterback. Well, our lease is short anyway. But anyway, that's not what's there. We'll talk about that another day. But I like to hire. I like to win Johnson high. Chicago should be good.

That's a very tough division, Ocho. You got Young Corp. We'll see what Minnesota does with Sam Donnell. Do they move on? Or do they elevate JJ McCarthy? Gonna be very interesting because you got Jordan Love, you got golf, you got Caleb Williams. So I like it. I like it. Ocho, now that the season has ended, Cooper Cupp doesn't know whether he'll be back with the Rams. You got golf, you got Caleb Williams. So I like it, I like it. Oh Joe, now that the season has ended, Cooper Cupp doesn't know whether he'll be back

with the Rams, Cupp said today. He has no doubt he'll play in 24, but there is doubt whether it's gonna be with the Rams and tend to keep him. Cupp, who knows what's going to happen? That's out of my control, and I'll see what it's going to be. I don't have any clarity on what's that going to look like or anything like that.

So yeah, obviously would love to be in LA, but I don't know what that's going to look like. Matthew Stafford also said he wanted to take some time to mold his future. Uh, after playoff loss, man, I think what you got, I'm got a big cap. What, what, uh, uh, Cooper, uh, Cooper cup. I think what is it like 21, $22 million? Cooper cup. Oh yeah. He it like 21, $22 million? Cooper Cup. Oh yeah.

He has to take a pick up anyway, if he does want to stay in LA. Listen, they've already worked. They've already, remember I already got talked about chat, you know, earlier with some of the top players in the league. They always find a way to work out the system and the opportunities. You don't get the opportunity that you're used to. Obviously we talk about a triple crown winner. Then all of a sudden last year, Poonakool comes out of nowhere and he's playing all over the world because they

move you around and they work you out the system and put somebody else in the position and the players that you used to make. That's all it is. That's all it is. It's plug and play. It's plug and play. It's the game that they play toward the end of your career when they think you don't have it no more or when your cat, when your number is too high and they want you to take a big cut. So now there's no argument that cup can have and go to management be like, well hell I'm a triple crown winner. The first thing you're going to say, but look at your numbers this year.

Your numbers are on what they, your numbers don't want. You were a triple crown winner. That's not what you are now. This ain't a lot of time achievement. We're going to pay you back. See, and that's the thing where people get the mistake. You were a Triple Crown winner. That's not what you are now. This ain't a lot of time achievement. We're gonna pay you back. See, and that's the thing, what people get the mistake. I'm paying you on what I believe you'll do moving forward.

I already paid you for that. Yeah. I paid you for that, Ocho. Yeah. So now I got it, like Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase, the Triple Crown, hey, you all got that. No, y'all need to pay me on what y'all believe I can do moving forward.

Now I'm only 25, 26 years of age. I think over the next four or five years, I can put up similar numbers. I'm not saying I'm gonna win the Triple Crown because we haven't had since the merger, we haven't had a two-time Triple Crown winner. Now, prior to that, you know, Don Hudson won a bunch of them. That's not here nor there. But I'm saying, I'm paying Jamar Chase on what I believe he'll do. Now, based on that, Jamar Chase needs to be north of 35 million right at 40. Maybe he says I want 40

I want 40 million dollars I want 200 million and I need a hundred of it guaranteed because I think the most guaranteed money might have been a Jetta that Jetta got like 80 something million fully guaranteed right? You know, I want a hundred Because y'all made me play when I could have gotten injured. I had to take out insurance policy. I had to spend money out of my pocket. So I need y'all to give me, hey, what old dude told them,

oh snaggletooth dude on Harlem night, I want everything you took in tonight and everything you took in last week. Yeah. Man, look, Matthew Stafford's not going anywhere. See, that's what you, when you want another big play date, that would be like, yeah, I'm gonna take some time. Come on, man, don't go nowhere. We got 50 million for you for three years.

Come on, Joe, man, you know how to play the game. Yeah, but listen, they know better, and Matthew Stafford knows that. There is no answer There is no backup. There is no resolve if he does want to walk. So what's the first thing they have to do? Every team every team is in dire need of a quarterback now. We talk about a small champion. Let him go Oh, absolutely not because they did dress up. They took Stetson Bennett I think in the fourth round out of Georgia two times. I'm just I'll tell I'm just saying that

They took him in the fourth round for a reason they didn't take him as an ornament they didn't take him as decoration So you you want you want people to get fired in huh? I don't I'm just oh Joe do you think they do they just Do they drive plans for decorations? No. They don't. The Patriots draft, why did the Patriots draft Jimmy Garoppolo? And what happened? I'm just not saying what happened. Why did they draft him?

Yeah, we know why they drafted him, but you know, you see what happened, right? Sometimes, sometimes you can make the decision based on you draft somebody in the fourth round But then you see the product on the field in certain situations in the preseason and in practice and already know you know What it don't matter what you're making right now staff We bring you back because we know we can't count on what's here. But even you don't know behind you You just told me what they need and what they need in Las Vegas quarterback now

Derek Carr says he's not taking a pay cut or anything like that. He's got like 52 million Gary. He got 52 million cap here. Oh If what I like Matthew Stafford better date. Hey, there's no no no not a but Matthew Stafford better. They, hey, there's no, no, no, not, hey, but Matthew Stafford is better than Derek Carr. I'm just, I'm just telling you the truth. Right. And their situation, and the Jets, could the Jazz use a quarterback? Ooh. Now, now, now we're talking. Now you're making a little sense.

You see it. You see it. Uh, Pittsburgh. Are you sold? You don't seem to be sold on Russ. I mean, some people like, like, uh, uh, uh, uh, Fields. Justin Fields. I like Fields, too.

But Cleveland. Uh, uh, uh, fields, Justin fields. I like fields too, but Cleveland is how would Matthew Stafford look in Cleveland for a couple of years and you draft a quarterback and you let one of these quarterbacks rest a couple years behind him and do, Hey, take this thing over. So Matthew Stafford is going to have options. See, that's the thing that you have. The more options that you have, oh Joe, it's just like a relationship. Yeah.

The more options a woman have, the harder the guy gotta come to impress her. If you ain't got no options, the guy, if you got options, you make it 10 million, 15 million, 30 million a year, you got options. The dude that ain't got no options, bro, you gotta take whatever like you, you got to like her. Yeah, yeah.

You know, you get my age, you know, you got a few options. They ain't like they used to be, you know? They ain't the options I used to have when I was 35 or when I was 37, you know? You're more about to be 57, so you know they don't show they know I used to have what I was 35 or whatever 37 you know you're more about to be fit yourself so you don't everyone's and you know you're all you're all gotta get a straggler if necessary you don't say it on show I can't keep it what's out of which all y'all fellas hey I won't be I'm gonna be honest with y'all chat. I ain't got it like that.

So I just gotta be honest. I wasn't brought in time, O'Shea had options. It ain't the day I wanted it. You know I'm all muscular, dieseled up, amped up everywhere, you know what I'm saying? Don't choke me, make it good money. But I was also in my 20s, I was in my 30s. It ain't the same tomorrow?

Mm-mm. No, no. No. No. No. You know what I'm saying? Hey. So, hey, sometimes, you know what you like? Right.

The ones that got the booty, you know, on the shelf, they're sitting up there? Right, right. You know what I'm saying? Right. You know, nice, tight, you know? Yeah, talk to me now Hey, hey, I'll be on Instagram. I see them one like that to come up by explore play. I just go ahead and scroll on up I know y'all ain't looking at old 57 year old. So let me go right. Let me go look at a watch

Let me look let me look at a car Something that I got a at least I got a chance to get it. Right, right, right. But you would say it best, Ocho. Every man got to know his limitations. Yeah, yeah. Listen, listen, it's one thing about knowing your limitations, but also understanding that they don't know no better. They don't know no better. OK, you have to understand those that they're going to give an

opportunity to they're competing with everybody else at a chance to be the main and most of the time you never will be the main because the guys you chasing a guy that have a roster and a hair and mope with me. And they got choices. Old Poe Hustler like O'Shea, they call me, you know they called me Poe Hustler back in the day. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I ain't got no options like that. Right. You know what I'm saying? Oh, y'all with them old cars?

Yes, sir. You roll down the window? Right. You know what I'm saying? You know, I ain't got all them Sarai-Sign bowls or Harden Carman, you know, 14 speakers in the car and all that stuff. I ain't got no defroster seat.

I ain't got no thing that burp, you know, massage my back with. I ain't got all the options on me. Yeah, listen, age plays a factor now. I don't think people understand, but listen, especially for when it come to women too and fellas, if you're gonna get it and get it done, you gotta get it done early. When you start hitting your 30, you hit 35,

and you hit 40 and thinking you still got the oxygen you had when you were younger. Oh no. Oh no, honey. You don't know this in life 40 I'll be a party. Yeah, I don't we don't care how fine it is I don't care. I don't care how good you think you look you want to have when you do in 20s. Uh-uh It ain't what you think it is. Hey, oh Joe I've been in my 30s and guess what? In my 50s I got a little bit more money than I had in my 20s and 30s. Yeah, and it's still a little hard, man. Yeah, I thought I would be a little bit even more attractive.

When I got old Ben, when I got Ben and Thomas Jefferson looking over my shoulder like this here. Don't he look a little better right now? No. Yeah, no. He's still old. So, it is what. No. Yeah. No, he's still old. So it is what it is. Yeah. That's, that's, that's why, Hey, that's why, that's why I'm not, I don't, I don't

hung out in New Jersey up in the rafters, man. I'm not in New Jersey up in the rafter. Yeah. It's so, so it is what it is. Like I said, but Matthew Stafford is going to have options. Uh, it's always nice to have options because when you got options, that means you don't have to settle. Cause a lot of times don't show you ain't got no options, you got to settle.

And you know what I've noticed when people don't, when people realize that you don't have options, they give you their butt to kiss. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. When they feel, when they feel like, Oh, what you going to do? You dependent on me? With his financial or whatever kind of support that you can offer that they don't feel you can get anywhere else.

Man, boy, look here. Yeah, that's why you, listen, you already gotta stay two steps ahead, huh? You always gotta stay two steps ahead. I can't stay two, I gotta stay even with him because he won't let me move two steps too fast on you I gotta say okay I can't I can't get a head on mojo I just stay so I see them starting to get a little head on that like okay that that mean you better you better pull up

pull a move on me get get on up outta here, okay? I tried it for a while last day. Hell nah. I mean, you do what you gotta do, Ocho. I ain't what I used to be. I ain't what I used to be, Ocho. Oh, that was some good days. Just think about it though, bruh. It was.

And some good days. Was, ooh. It's starting to get old, Ocho. It was and some good days What's whoo I Don't get no little show it's not getting old but yeah, I showed them you got me jog you got my memory I'm jogging through my memory and just think about you know down memory lane and You know, I still got a little kick to me, you know but She ain't it funny how time just slips on away.

Now, for a nominal fee, I might be willing to autograph this and send it. Who would like to win this? I might be willing to autograph this and send it. Who would like to win this? I had this thing. I had this thing for about 10, 11 years. As a matter of fact, I went somewhere and it's like, you're not supposed to take that.

I say, oh, I'll just leave it with me. Man, y'all have me in here cutting up, man. Hey, hold on. Let y'all see that thing here cutting up, man. Hey, hello. Bet y'all see that thing one more time. Oh, Joe. I'm telling you, the Rose Farts, they the truth? I got my, I got my order in. I'm ready.

Ready. Man, I'mma save it from February 14th. Uh, many scouts believe the Browns will take Travis Hunter, number two overall, and focus on the quarterback later in the draft. Uh, a multitude of NFL scouts are reportedly of the belief that there's no way Shadour Sanders will play for the Browns, even if the Browns were interested in picking him. There's reportedly thought among scouting circles that if Hunter were to go to Cleveland, he would have a Jim Brown type impact on the franchise.

Browns hold 33rd and 67th overall pick, which would possibly give them a potential to select Jackson Dart, Quinn Ewers, Jay Lamarrow, or Kyle McCord. This is going to be a franchise changing draft for the Browns. Hey, what you think it'll show? I like it.

I like it. You know, their identity anyway is deep. Is this their defense? Honestly, until you get a quarterback that can change the franchise right around, like Jane Daniels has done like a CDS shroud has done, like a C. Dave Stroud has done. But can you imagine Denzel Ward and goddamn Travis Hunter? I don't care if you got Denzel Ward. I don't care if you got prime time.

I don't care if you got male blunt. I don't care if you got Reivers. If you cannot score, you cannot win in this league, or Joe. Yeah, I understand. Listen, you got to start somewhere. You got the build a foundation somewhere. You gotta start somewhere. And it's been how long since they've had a quarterback? Auto Graham.

I mean, they had some good years with Bernie. Oh yeah. You know, the cardiac Browns with, what was the guy's name? Brian Syke. Yeah. If I'm not mistaken, I think in the 80s, 1980, Syke was an MVP. But, and you know, they have some situations. I think it was Birdie that they went to those AFC Championship games

that they ended up losing to the Broncos. They lost twice to the Broncos in the AFC Championship game. But it's been a while. That's been, Ocho, that's been 30 plus years ago. Hell, that was before I got there. They lost, as a matter of fact, they lost to the Browns the year before I got there. So that was 89, I got to the Broncos in 90. So hell, that was what, 35, 36, 37 years ago.

And when I, when I, when I think about it, you talking about putting, you talking about putting, putting asses in, excuse me, talking about putting butts in seats? They had Baker, I mean, the Baker, look, they had Baker and Baker had a couple of good years, but they didn't have the talent around him. He got hurt. And like I said, Baker needed to move on.

They didn't, they didn't, they didn't like, and you have to accept Baker for who he is. He's a, he's, he's cocky. He believes in his ability. I got no prob, I got no problem with that. You know, they like where we want an adult in the building. But he's where Baker is where he should be. In Tampa, playing unbelievable football. For a team that believes in him, players that believe in him.

And I'm glad that he was able to... But Cleveland, you're gonna have to find somebody. You got Jerry Judy. You got in Joku. and I'm glad that he was able to, but Cleveland, you're gonna have to find somebody. You got Jerry Judy, you got in Joku, you probably need another receiver. Probably need to start looking at a running back. You know, offensive line is okay, but you're probably gonna need to revamp your offensive line.

Yeah, I agree with them. I don't know if she'd do it. That's not a place you do it. We want to go. I'm not so sure. Or a time would want him to go there. Um, but at the end of the day, Brown's you cause you look what's in that division. You got Lamar Lamar is going to be in Baltimore for another decade.

Joe Burrell is going to be in Cincinnati for another decade. Now Pittsburgh bigger off. Obviously they, they,, obviously they're kind of like in limbo or we got, we keep Russ for another year or two or do we go ahead and transition and move to Justin Fields? But you cannot compete with just your defense trying to shut down Burrow and Lamar. You got to have a quarterback and you got to have somebody that can go toe to toe with him.

Right. So, draft is, oh Joe. Speaking of Jalen Milro, he posted an image on IG saying he's in Cleveland and deleted it shortly after. Can you see the Browns drafting Milro with the number two overall quarterback? Number two overall pick? No sir. I can't either no, sir No, no, sir, and that's no disrespect to him no, no

What about it 33 or 76 Okay now 33. That's the first pick in the second round 76 is probably about the second or third that'll be like the eighth or ninth that'll be like the eighth or ninth pick 12th pick in the third round. I can see early second I can see that now that I can see but Or obviously, ward, or camp, yeah, no. I agree. Ocho, a study by Oxford University researchers found that women typically have five close friends,

but lose two of them when entering a new relationship due to reduced time or shifting priorities. However, those losses are often balanced by gaining a new friend, usually through their partner. Professor Robin Dunbar attributes the trend to the focused attention on a romantic relationship demands leading to natural fading of some friendships. Hmm.

I mean, listen, I'm thinking I can only speak from experience. I can only speak from experience for me is regardless of any relationships I've gotten in throughout the years, my friend circle has always been the same. It's always remained the same. Didn't say women. Oh, okay. Actually, I see you going with this. That's why they be hating. That's why they be talking about,

out here ain't nothing on you. He cheating, see? Y'all trippin' cause y'all be trying to keep her close. Let her spend time with me. Let her spend time with Ocho. And most of the time, you know what? Her friend girls, they be single. They be single. And I, you know. You're mad because she won't go to the club no more with y'all.

Right. Your single friends will keep those that have boyfriends or husbands single. They want you miserable with them. Mm-hmm, they do. They give you the worst advice. They give you the worst advice so you can be miserable with them.

Wow. I can see that, Ocho, I do. Because you know, all of a sudden, you know, they used to go to the club, they go on the trip to Cancun, and they go in the Tulum and all that. And now she wanna spend time with her man. She wanna be booed up with me.

You know, you ain't got no time. So, oh, you too good to hang out? Yep, because I'm in a serious relationship. I'm trying to settle down. I'm going to get married. Maybe have a kid. Hey, ain't no kid going. Ain't no kid jumping off.

Maybe what I might can squeeze out one. I don't know how to get this, you know, how to get this pipe cleaned out, a little rusty up in there. You know what I'm saying, old joke? But getting that, you know, I might could squeeze out one. Yeah. There you go.

Well, you know, you got to think it's especially depending on who you're dating. After a while, if you're dating after a while, you know, guys will allow that women take friend girls, go on girl trips, you know, friend girls be going dinner, go to, go to outings, you know, I think that's healthy for relationships when women can still have those moments of friends. You yeah, I ain't got no problem with that. Nah, you go, hey, hang with your girl, you don't do your thing. Hey, but just know, they don't mean no good. I ain't lying, they happen. You got a nice life, you got a G-Wagon, you got this big old house, you go, you ain't got to work.

You got somebody to clean the house three times a week. You got somebody preparing the meals. Hey, your family taking care of blah, blah, blah. Hey. Don't mess that up. Don't mess that up now. Well, you'd be out there like them, texting three different people to make ends meet. Mm-hmm.

All right. He get the purses, another one get the shoes, another one. Yeah. Yeah. He get the purses, another one get the shoes, another one get the... Yeah, you get flowers once a week, you get flowers once a week. As a matter of fact, I done bought you a garden, so you go pick your own flowers. Mm-hmm. Man, five-five girlfriend.

See, women got more friends. Women normally have more friends than guys, Ocho. Yeah. Yeah, most of them. And when I'm talking about like close friends, like I'm saying like, like you'll actually like talk to, you know what I'm saying? Like share things with. Nah.

Because see, for me, if I tell somebody something and I hear it again, I already know where it came from because I ain't told me two people Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah See girl like and see when somebody tell me something. Oh Joe man. Can I tell you something? Okay before you tell me Who else have you told right? Right, cuz I want you come back bring your ass over here to my man. Did you tell hell? No, who did you tell? Mm-hmm. I ain't want to tell nobody that bulls eye that you told me. So before you tell me, who did you tell?

Man, I thought, okay, see, okay, now don't tell me. Hey, you know what? Hey, it's another question since we're on the topic. How come women friendships never really last? Especially as a group. If they go on a trip together, they come back, ain't nobody friend no more. They go to dinner parties, you know, everybody split the bill, they ain't not friend no more. There's always a story or situation, especially on Twitter or X, whatever you want to call it, where this always happened and it happens continuously and regardless of age, the teenagers, the older group, even though the, you know,

the of age, everybody be going through it. Oh, wait, I'm like, why does it always happen with women? They can never remain friends for a very, very long time. They always end up falling out about something that's so simple. They get a girlfriend one chance, but they give JoJo, he get 30 chances to mess up. But the girl give one chance, she don't come to him a birthday dinner? No, I ain't talking to that, like if I, like my, first of all, I ain't gotta worry about this because Buckethead Burns married, but if my homeboy's like, okay, you interested

in somebody, I'm good. Because I always felt that if you try to holler at me, you trying to get back at them, you try to tick them off. I ain't trying to take my homeboys off. Now there are some men, your boys. Yeah. Hey, you turn your back, they like. Yeah.

Cause you know back when you old Shay, you know, he's a stepper. I kept a stepper. You know what I'm saying? Yes sir. And I, if nobody want to, what I need to find, I need a looker. Yeah.

You're supposed to be a looker. Mm-hmm. Turn, I need you to turn his now. And I'm always getting there first cause I want you to walk in cause I want to turn his now. And I'm always getting there first, because I want you to walk in, because I want to see the reaction. Mm-hmm. I don't care if the guys look. I want to see the women that look,

because if they look, I know I got something. I know I got a winner. Right. That's what you need to look. Look here. Guys, they're hitting the crack of dawn. And that ain't saying nothing for them. Right.

But when them women look, ooh, okay, I like what she got on, you know. Yeah, yeah. You know, she got on some Tom Ford heels or some YSLs, maybe some Balenciaga boots. You know the Balenciaga got them knee-high boots right now? Oh yeah, oh yeah. Oh yeah, yeah.

They in season now, it's winter, it's cold now. For sure, for sure. With a nice bag, you know, YSL, Dior, LV, you know what, them old nice ones. Yeah. Man. Ain't nothing like a beautiful woman. Nah. Ain't nothing like ain't nothing like a beautiful woman Nah, ain't no like it. Oh Joe listen God knew what he was doing when he made women in general

That is one of the greatest creations ever known to man ever Ain't nothing like a mojo a woman that work out just a little. I ain't saying she got to be alive. Right. But just a little, Ocho. Yeah. Lord, forgive me for my ways.

Jay Dove from Akron. I appreciate the love for my alma mater. Go Bucks. I'm gonna celebrate by buying a couple of bottles of La Portilla and Ocho cigars. Keep up the good work. Ocho, still waiting on that jersey. Stay strong Jenkins family. Buckeye Nation. All right, J-Dub, I appreciate that. Man, congratulations, man. I know that's been a long time, because y'all guys been knocking on the door. You went to a couple of... You were in the finals, lost to Clemson one year, and then next year, y'all go and y'all get blown out by Alabama. Y'all just kept knocking, kept knocking. And finally, you guys got over the hump. So congratulations. We appreciate that.

Yeah, and I guess this incident, Ohio... I don't know if you're still in Ohio, but uh this incident did happen in Ohio So yeah, we sent our thoughts and prayers to the Jenkins family that had to go through what they went through But the Buckeyes did it Seemed like to me I thought Texas was their toughest opponent look Notre Dame made the game interesting late in the ball game, but at 30 was nothing.

I don't know how many people stayed around that was there that when the Irish started making their comeback, was still tuned in and watching at that point in time. But give the Buckeyes credit, hell of a season, lost Oregon, redeemed that loss, lost the final game of the season to a Michigan but I think this national championship I think it makes up for that lost to Michigan About winning the national championship there the national champs. So there's no j-dub. I appreciate that man. I appreciate the support I appreciate you watching night cap supporting ocho and I and I definitely appreciate you watching Nightcap supporting Ocho and I, and I definitely appreciate you supporting La Portier. So thank you, man, appreciate that.

Yeah, Ocho, get that man his jersey. Isaiah Lancaster, okay, Ocho, does Alan defeat my homies this weekend, and what's your thoughts on Chandler Parson saying KD is better than Kobe all time? His opinion, but Kobe was way better two-way player to me. but Kobe was way better two-way player to me. Man, that's gonna be a great game. What's the weather gonna be like in Kansas City?

I don't think it didn't pass either, because both of them used to play in the cold. Both games were cold yesterday. J-Dub say he's still waiting on his jersey. J-Dub, send me my information. I need his information, huh? Ash done sent you the information. Twice. No she didn't. She sent it to me or... Me or where?

Ryan. Oh she sent it to Ryan? Yep. Well tell Ryan to send it to me. I got a job. What the hell is your system? What the hell you mean tell Ryan to send it to me. I got the, I got the job. What the hell is that your sister? What the hell you mean tell Ryan to send it to you? Oh my bad. Yeah, I got jerseys. I got jerseys. I got three jerseys right now sitting in the arm. What you call that? I'm talking about game. I'm talking about game jerseys too. Game one. Yeah.

And he said he's gonna buy some cigars. He gonna celebrate because he a Buckeye alum. So he gonna buy some cigars and some Laporte. Yeah. Yeah celebrate. because he a Buckeye alum. So he gonna buy some cigars and some La Porta. Yeah, yeah, celebrate. I hear Lancaster ask, Ocho, does Josh Allen defeat Mahomes this weekend? And what are your thoughts on Chandler Parsons saying KD is better than Kobe, his opinion, but Kobe was a better two-way player?

For one, the basketball question is better suited for you, Om? Oh my goodness, that's going to be a good one. My Holmes is going to have to play mistake free. I mean, not my Holmes. Josh Allen going to have to play mistake free football. Yeah, one tournament could be the difference in this ball game. I think they're going to have to steal a possession or two. They got to steal a possession or two and play mistake free football.

And there's a good chance to Bill's win this game. There's a good chance to Bill's win this game. But that got them home, man. That Patty Mahone, bro. Yeah, it's hard to bet against it. They are firing on all cylinders. On all cylinders. That's going to be a good game, man. That's going to be a good game, man.

That's going to be a good game. That's going to be a great game. Yeah, man. Hey, what do you think about that question about, you know, KD being better than Kobe? I think he's better at certain things than Kobe. Maybe a three-point shooter Maybe a mid-range but as a better nah, I ain't going all around though. No, no, no, no, that's not close all around

Kobe was a Seven or was a eight or nine time all defensive team player first team along with all those all NBA First team a a five time champion, uh, uh, a two time finals MVP, which Katie Katie is a two time finals MVP. I can't go there. Wait, in what, in what context is he speaking in Katie being better? What, maybe a push? I guess he said he's a better all time player and I don't know what he's

basically get on is Katie a better three point shooter? Yeah. Better in the mid-range. Yes but Kobe Can't go there yeah He more efficient than Kobe See KD KD KD game is not predicated on a whole bunch of shots. KD Game is predicated on efficiency. Right.

KD is the type of guy that can go get 40 points on 18 shots. Dang. Which is rare. Because, and I'm, for a big, now you talking about a guy that's just like a shot. Getting 40, you know, he gonna dunk the ball. But KD getting, KD shooting jumpers. Mid-range So nah, I can't I'm gonna disagree with challenge that's his opinion, but I disagree

Tony being our sense arguing with my family is golf a top 10 quarterback In this year, yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, you got Mahomes, Lamar, Josh Allen. Uh, hell this year, hell, what's he called the top 10 quarterback? Uh, Jayden Daniels. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Yeah.

I mean, the way golf has played the last couple of years, you have to put him in the top 10, Tim Lee said, come on, you have to put him in the top 10. Tim Lee said, come on, uh-uh, Ocho, come on, bro. I don't even think Purdy is good, but to see Lance is better is just asinine. Do you think Shadowhead Lynch are dumb? Purdy shouldn't get 50 million, but he's definitely better than Lance. Mm. That just pains me at times.

I'm serious, that pains me at times, but it happens. Aaron Owen says, what's up, had Jamal Lewis not torn his ACL in 01? Do you think you guys go back to back? Nah, the team had changed too much. We had all of a sudden thought, you know, we threw the ball more than what we should have. Yeah. I thought TA came in and did a great job of Terry Allen. We got him, my homeboy.

He was at Minnesota, had some good years, great years in Minnesota, had some good years at Washington. But we're a different team. The defense was not as vaunted, was not as scary as it was the previous year. Teams that kind of figured us out a little bit and so even when we didn't turn the ball over, teams had a little bit more success. Their offense had a little bit more success. Ocho on our defense than what they had in the past. J-Dub said, Ash just sent your info to Rhea. She's going to make it happen. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Yeah. She, she got it. Yeah. So yeah, I'm going to make, I'm going to make her make, make her ship it off too. I bet, I bet you had, bet you, what's the day? What's the day on today? Monday on?

Yeah, no day Tuesday, cause we already. Oh, okay, Tuesday. I bet you had that jersey before Thursday or Friday. Yeah, you gotta sign it though. No, they already signed. I'm gonna just get one of them. I ain't. Sherrod and Pope said, if Magic Johnson wears a Super Bowl,

what can we say about him? He wins it all level. NBA Championship, Dodgers, and in Washington, I think he won one with the Galaxy. And he won one with the Sparks. Look. Ah, Lee! Magic just knows how to do it. He's a very savvy businessman.

He knows where to put his money. He surrounded himself with great people. That's a part about that's what I'm saying. Oh Joe when you win, that's your brand People want to associate with winners. Yeah That's how magic was able to make all these contacts Being with the Lakers being in LA and boom he get put in place You know the Starbucks deal and the Magic Johnson theaters and the Magic Johnson skating rinks and all that other stuff that came along with being Magic Johnson and being in LA and winning. People wanted to associate with it.

Yeah. No, relationships are so important. It's all about relationships once you get to this level. Relationships are so important and not burning bridges along the way because you never know you might need somebody. Nearby Gene, Felip. Oh, was there any fallout mate who called the Julio Jones on live TV

when he wanted to be traded? What was the aftermath? I wish I wouldn't have called Julio. I kind of put him in a bad spot. I didn't kind of put him in a bad spot. I didn't kind of put him in a bad spot. Julio felt that when they started talking about, you know, everybody was safe, Matt Ryan was the only one safe than everybody else. He felt he should have been included in the Matt Ryan.

He felt he should have been untouchable. Right. And he knew it came from someone in the front office. Always. And it kicked him off. Because Julio gave everything to the Falcons. He probably played some games that he probably shouldn't have played.

He probably should have taken some time off. But he had a great situation in Atlanta. They treated him well. And I think, you know, until sometimes, you know, when emotion is high, logic is low, and you hear us say that here, I think, you know, and the gentleman know, when emotion is high, logic is low. And you hear us say that here. Uh, I think, you know, and the gentleman, we just had Mikey on. He's like, look, don't be, don't, don't make an emotional decision.

And he was hurt that they thought that, oh, we just move on with Julio. We just keep Matt when he really should have just stayed. Because Julio had it really good there. Yes. So it's practice schedule. He didn't realize everybody. Don't everybody don't do that. Oh Joe, everybody don't let the veterans just come out there and do a little bit on wins a little bit on Thursday, hit it on Friday and then go play on Saturday.

Right. Everybody ain't got it like that. Oh Joe. Um, but I talked to, I talked to Julio. I just hate that I put him in that spot. I really do. Cause Julio Julio is a great, is a great guy. Uh, Trey, what's up?

Uh, night camp maybe vet. Uh, can you shout out my wife, PFC Diamond Hawkins on deployment in Kuwait, if JD five go to the SUBO, do we look at other quarterbacks differently? Even more body of work, i.e. Lamar. Diamond, PFC is private first class. Diamond Hawkins on deployment in Kuwait. Oh, that's his wife.

Oh, okay, Ture. Diamond, how you doing? I don't know if you're watching this, but thank you for your service. Your hub, I wanna wish you, give you a shout out. She's in deployment in Kuwait, Ocho. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your service.

To all the men and women in the military, thank you so much for all you do to keep us safe and sound. If Daniels go to the Super Bowl, of course, that's the thing. We look at all quarterbacks differently when somebody go to the Super Bowl. That's ultimately, that's what you do. That's why you make the big bucks. There's a reason why no player is within $20 million,
