Sports Illustrated is reporting that the Bengals are planning on placing the non-exclusive franchise tag on Higgins for the second consecutive

season if he doesn't come to terms on a long-term extension before the March 4th deadline. He obviously wants a new deal instead of no tag. T Higgins' moms had something to say on this. T Higgins moms had something to say on this T Higgins mom number five selfish You see what I mean? There it is up there. You see what I mean? She has since deleted her tweet You see you see what I mean that now mama if mama tweet. I know mama Higgins been listening to what I've been saying My bangles fans. I know you in here. I love you. I love y'all. I love you. But we can't be selfish in this instant when it comes to business. We can't be selfish.

Yes, we would love to keep the band together. We would love to keep the band together. It's like New Edition. We want to keep them together, but it's unfair for Joe to get his money. It's unfair because Chase, oh we can't play with him, we need every bring Trump, every bring Trump coming down the Paycore stadium to pay Jamar Chase. Not for what he's done but what he can continue to do for the foreseeable future. T Higgins deserve his money as well.

He's not going to be able to get what he's worth. If he stays in Cincinnati, he has to be one to take a pay cut. Why does he have to be one to take less? Not only if you don't do that, you give, you give people, you get teams, the home team discount on the second, maybe the third, you have to get as much as you can on your first one. And for T to get what he deserves, it can't be in Cincinnati. And this is coming from someone that loves my bangles down to the core. Oh Joe, it's hard for me to feel sorry for a problem they created.

Why did they allow the owner to keep the franchise tag in there? You see, for a few extra practices off, you see what y'all did? See, they bargained for petty privileges. Okay, why not? Okay, we'll give you one franchise tag, but you can't franchise me a second time. You see, when you bargain for petty privileges,

when you bargain for no-pad you bargain for no padded practices Bull jobs like that You push OTAs and training camp back a week And then when it comes down to this man, they franchise technically that's what you got a the players Association for Got no lifetime benefits, but you I tell you what Ocho, you ain't got as many padded practices, but you still got that franchise tag.

Yeah. Yeah. Listen, it gives ownership leverage and also it is also a good thing. Now at times, chat, y'all stay with me now. At times the franchise tag is not a bad thing. Now what it does allow, it allows teams, it gives them time. It gives them time to try and work out a deal, to see if you can reach one in a certain amount of time, you know, because before a deadline hits. Also, I don't like the fact that the franchise tag is used in a way and in reason, and them basically saying, we value you, we value you, but we don't think you're worth

what you're asking for. So we're gonna give you top five money at your position. And then allow for what? But just for one year. I want long-term security. You had T Higgins for three years, you got him a fourth year on the franchise tag. Now what does T Higgins need to show you in year five

that you haven't seen in years one, two, three or four? I talk to him. Come on now. And I see people talking about the franchise tag is not the worst thing. What if it's not the worst? He don't want it. Y'all did, y'all gave him the franchise tag last year.

He played well. He played well the year before. Pay the man or allow him to go someplace else. No other place. Baseball don't have a franchise tag. Basketball don't have a franchise tag. And it's kind of hard to have free agency when you got a set number.

Why can't a center make what a quarterback makes? In baseball, a first baseman can make just as much of a pitcher as just as much of a center fielder or a third baseman. Why do you gotta have, okay, the quarterback can make this, a wide receiver can make this, an edge rusher can make this, a kicker can make that? Crazy means that means you get what the market compare. If I'm a system analyst. They ain't got no structure Well, you know if you if you do this, you know Whatever if Apple want me I pitch my service to Apple Google Microsoft. I Get to go to the hospital if I work for Microsoft for four years, they don't get to put a tag on me say, okay

I get to keep you. I want to see one more year. I want to see if you can do this again in year five. No. But that's where the players should have, because guess what happened? They had a couple of years left on their deal. Let me tell you what the owners did. They had a couple of years left on their deal. They went and redid the deal early. The owners ran right to the business partners. Fox, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Amazon. We got 10 years labor fees. We want to renegotiate our deal. Hey listen, the business side of things is always unfair. Hey listen, listen, the business side of things is always unfair. It's the nature of the business.

I understand it. And I am an avid Bangle fan. I am one that's always stood tentoes for my Bangles at all times. But in this case, I can't. Not in this case. For the team, I understand. But for T, no. For the fans that don't understand it and selflessly want T to obviously take lessons

which he would have to do with them paying Jamar, even with Joe Burrow restructuring in any kind of way, T Higgins is still coming out on the shitty stick. Hey, guess what? If I'm T Higgins, give me all this money and if y'all need me to restructure next year, I'll do that too. Because see, y'all would engage Joe Burrow like $90 million. Now he restructure. All you did was take his base salary and give it to him as a signing bonus. Ain't no restructuring. Stop it. Well, let me say to the maybe the average fan, they don't understand how it works.

So if Joe Burrow has a 40 million dollar Base salary they give it to him in a silent bonus. Yeah. Okay. All you did is give me my instead of me getting it September through January you just gave it to me right now So nothing changes he's still getting his money. He's still getting his work He's still getting what he's paid. But you telling me, now damn, you finna franchise me again? And players, what it would have said to players, obviously it's almost an insult, despite the numbers, but the numbers might be, now I'm talking about the average person, I'm talking about athletes

that are putting in the work, putting in the time, that are waiting for that moment to get that stability, that security. Oh, you don't feel I'm worth, are you gonna franchise me again? Why are you even franchising me again? And I have a great understanding that I'm not going to be able to get what I'm worth. My true value, do you understand what T. Higgins is gonna get on the open market Yes But and see here's the thing. Oh, okay

Yes, it is that oh he gonna make 25 million what a going rate is 30 The going rate is 30 man t man T Mike see 36 37, man No, I'm saying that's Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on man That man say I need I need 60 million guarantee 70 It's a cool game man it is It's a cool game, man. It is.

But, uh, okay. Like I said, that's, that's, that's what you, that's what your players association is supposed to be negotiating you for. Players, I think 2030 this thing is up. Will y'all please start bargaining for petty privileges? Damn padded practices. Get lifetime benefits. Do away with the franchise tag. you do get something that means something

Y'all don't want to practice in pairs What if you didn't have no franchise tag would that be worth it? Oh Joe? What if you what if you have lifetime benefits? Would that be worth it? Oh Joe? Yeah, okay. Let's just say for the sake of argument. Ocho, I played, I got in the league, I was 22. I played 10 years. I retired 32. Now I get insurance from the league for five years.

So I can take it to any five years that I want to. So I take it from when I retire until now, I got insurance until I'm 37. It start falling apart in your 40s and 50s. Yeah, yeah. I mean, let me knock the wood. When you look at it, look at baseball players. If people like, baseball players make a ton of money and they got lifetime benefits. Basketball players make a ton of money.

They got lifetime benefits. Yeah. Because you know why? Basketball players say we're going to set it down. Remember they struck? Yeah. Yep. Baseball, they canceled the World Series. Canceled it. Now look at it. canceled it. Now look at it. 765 million, 700 million, $500 million to use. Yeah. And you know, it's gonna take, it's gonna take, it gotta be one band, one sound, huh?

It gotta be one band, one sound. And it start with the quarterback, cause the quarterback gotta lead, they gotta lead the chase. The quarterbacks have always been on their own program. They got the quarterback. They had the QB club. See, when the players association,

there was a quarterback club. And then the quarterback club started taking some of the best players. They got an Emmett Smith to join them. They got a Bruce, they got some of those guys. So you had your top quarterbacks, they were in the club all by themselves. They negotiated, they got an image Smith to join them. They got a Bruce, they got some of those guys. So you had your 30 quarter, your top quarterbacks, they were in the club all by themselves. They negotiated, they did things on their own.

They weren't a part of the players association. So see, that was the first thing. The owner said, we got them. See, they already split. The owners might not like each other, but they're staying 32, 320 toes down. saying 32, 320 toes down. All I need to see is a little splintering. And then all I need to see is a little splintering.

I got you. Cardi B was parted out with Stefan Diggs on Valentine's Day. It was removed that Cardi B had an affair with Diggs while she was Pregnant with all said child. Oh Lord. Hey, Steph Hey, hey, hey, uh, uh It was like Was like I'm trying to think. How far along was she, old joke?

But hold on, hold on, whoa, Steph, young boy be doing his thing, boy. You know? But hold on, hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's just say for the sake of argument.

Hold on, I don't think. And she's showing? I don't think that was true. I think that might've been fabricated. I think that might've been fabricated. And that might've been fabricated. Whew, Lord. Yeah.

When you been around long enough, you have great experience in this area. I have great experience in this area. And it's a lot more peaceful when you're number two as opposed to number one, where you know how things go.

more peaceful when you're number two as opposed to number one, where you know how things go. Cardi outing with Diggs is for the second time they've been seen out in public in less than a week. Before that, Cardi tried to downplay the rumors about Diggs during an Instagram live. Cardi filed for divorce from Offset, her husband of seven years, last August, right before giving birth to their third child. When there's smoke there's fire you know that right? I just... You ain't hear me huh? When there's smoke there's fire. See her new dude really ain't her new dude you just never knew. You not you not you not hearing me.

It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great hardened me.

It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness. We all have moments like this. Something happens that's supposed to break us. But it's in these moments that we discover what we're really made of. I promise you, if anyone knows this, it's me. I'm Ashlyn Harris. ["Squid Game", by K.O.D.A.N.] Oh Joe, Kendrick Lamar is the first rapper

to hit 100 million monthly Spotify listeners. As of Monday, Kendrick had 100 million, 52 thousand, 25 monthly listeners, making him the first rapper to hit that figure on Spotify. He's the ninth artist to do this overall. Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd. That's pretty good company. Other rappers closing in on this spot are Drake, 77 million, Travis Scott, 75 million, Eminem, 74 million, Post Malone, 69 million, and Yeast, 67 million.

That's dope, man. That's really dope. That's really, really dope. Listen, I'm happy for Kendrick. Obviously, he's always been a phenomenal rapper. You would have had to actually been a fan of his in general before, you know, the beef between him and Drake, because he's always put out great music. I'm not sure his music was one for all listening enjoyment.

It wasn't that kind of music. You would have had to been a Phantom Kendrick before to understand how good and great he is, especially as a lyricist, and listen to the story he tells. His albums were always a story. Always told a phenomenal story. And listen, he's done great work.

He's done great work to date, as well as Drake. I'm a fan of both individuals and I'm a fan of both of their bodies of work and resumes in general. So I listen, I have no horse in that battle or fight or war. Right. But you know, you don't have to pick sides. Everybody's been picking sides. Oh, I like this guy. I like this guy. Like, oh, you don't have to pick sides. Everybody's been picking sides. Oh, I like this guy. I like this guy. Like, oh, I like both of them.

I like both of them. And neither one of them could beat me. And rap. Neither one of them. And Drake, Drake know that. Kendrick know that too. I was a lyricist before I was a lyricist. You know, Drake is a lover boy.

I was a lover boy when Drake was in Pampers. I've been lyricist. Drake is a love a boy. I was a love a boy when Drake was in Pampers. I've been doing that. I had a heart in my, in my fade in 87. So I was doing that, you know, I had the chicks, I had the chicks in high school, you know, and junior high, I've been doing that. So what they doing and going through and I lived that life two times

Drake trashes the Marta Rosen Jersey on stage in a newly released footage from his Sydney show Drake Was tossed a Marta Rosen Jersey by someone in the audience as he performed Rich Flex After Drake realized it was the Rosens He slammed the NBA's vet Jersey to the ground. If the audience didn't know that the two still had, uh, still weren't on good terms, it quickly became clear. And it is understandable though. Oh Joe, check this out. Drake and DeRozan's relationship soured at the later period on stage at Kendrick Lamar's,

the pop out concert and dance to Skate and Date diss track, not like us. DeRozan also appeared in an official video of the song that came out the next month. Remember when Lamar told me on Club Shashey, no matter what, when it comes to him, he'll forever have a friend and me and loyalty out of me because he cared. He was there for me when everything was kind of going crazy. I mean, that's what Damar DeRosa told me. Oh, I love J.J. Now, if it's a lie, he told it, but that's what he said.

Listen, Damar in Toronto, obviously he had a relationship with Drake. I don't know the extent of that relationship when Damar was there. It was very good. Yeah, it was very good. But and then you think about Demar, the roles in his background, being from LA Compton, where Kendrick Lamar is from. I understand the whole loyalty aspect of things, you know, off the court. When you're not in Toronto, you are from Compton.

I do understand Drake's side of it, but hold on. You my homie, man. You my dog. You should really have no horse in this race. You understand? This song that's about me, I know that's where you from. But I thought we was cool. You ain't got to be in the video and all.

You ain't got to be crit walking and you know, throwing up the, you ain't got to be doing all that, you know? So, okay, that's what we on. That's the type of time we on. All Drake did was take Drake done took notes, then jotted everybody number down. Not number, jotted everybody number down, not number, jotted everybody name down, that jumped on that bandwagon. The opportunity when he was at war to take their personal shots as well. They went, oh, OK, it's on bet.

Bet. That's what it is. It was 99 against one. It was 99 against one. And there's only one way Drake could win. And that's in the booth. Continue making great music like you've always done. That's it. I ain't coming up no diss tracks. I'm just gonna make this stuff

that's gonna sell to screaming and people gonna like. He just put out an album, doing what he does best. An album for the ladies, An album for the women. Oh, listen. Two things can be true. You can lose a battle and still be sitting right on top. Yes. You can lose a battle.

Don't mean you lost the war. There's a battle. Don't mean you lost the war. There's a difference. He lost the battle. We didn't lose. You did like the war. They call for the other party that quick. They say they call. They don't want no part of that.

Understand understandable what. Or what? that? Understandable. What? Or what? Didn't make a whole lot of sense. Yeah. Still doesn't. I mean, look, the song had a catchy phrase and, I mean, had a catchy hook. It is what it is. But you Drake. Well, you got a big ol' jumbo jet.

Got a $55 million crib in Toronto. Got a big crib in LA. Got a crib in Houston. Probably got crib in on five continents. Yeah. Man, I'd have let that ride so quick. But it's tough on you. I get it. Hey, listen, honestly, Draven and Kendrick need to be thanking me.

They do. For what? Because I chose to play football. You chose the right thing. You'd have been broke as hell. Who? Boy, you ain't ever... Listen. You. Oh, I just told you, I just explained to you who I was in junior high. But I was a lover boy. You hear me?

I was a lyricist. I was in junior high. But I was a lover boy. You hear me? I was a lyricist. I was like Nas. I was like Nas back then in junior high. No, you want me to you want me to work with the lyricists. I mean, you know, you talk about Nas, you talk about Big Daddy Kane, you talk about KRS. Listen, I used to rap like Big L in junior high. My teacher used to call me outside and have me rap for the principal.

That's how good I was. Yeah, man. I tell you no lie. I tell you no lie. I have so many gifts I really haven't really, really been able to expound on because I just been I've been on the go. I'm on the go. Good thing. You say the world from having to hear that.

And we're very thankful for that. We're very thankful for that. We greatly appreciate it. I mean, you look at a rock in. Oh, a little more. Different. Well, you talk about lyrics.

Is that I mean, I grew up, I grew up in the RS one. Yes. Nasty work. Big Daddy Kane. Hey, hold on real quick, chat. Y'all want me to get your quick 16 real quick? Like, y'all don't understand, I come right off the top of the head too. Like, I'm special.

I'm like Lil Wayne. I'm like Jay-Z. I ain't writing nothing down, man. I know. Your grades would indicate that. Who? Oh, I had... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, in high school, in junior high? I know your grades would indicate that. Who? Oh, I had your grades.

You can say you get stars in junior high. In the bungalow in the back. I know. Using the trailers. I know. Using the trailers. I know.

Yeah, I do. I do exactly. Oh shit. Oh damn, I curse. Same class the whole day. Okay. Didn't leave. Oh yeah.

Home room here, spelling here, then leave. Oh, yeah. We call room here spell it here I'll tell you no loud boy I don't know the same classroom chat the whole day when it was time to go to lunch. We had the whole hand Man you need help with your band. You really need help. Little Wayne's daughter, Arjane Carter, clapped back at those hating on Wayne's SNL 50 performance. After Wayne performed a medley of his hit songs during the Sunday show, The Roots acting as his backing band, some people used his performance as an example

of why he wasn't selected to play the Super Bowl. When Arjaneé caught wind of the comments, she defended her dad on the Shade Room Instagram comments. She was very clearly pointed out that her father was well paid for his time while the Super Bowl performance didn't get any money to play. Y'all are some D-riders. My dad has been having fun performing for years. He is truly himself when he hits the stage. Go play with y'all mofo kids. He

collected a check after this. Y'all, what are y'all getting for hating? Not a D-fag. Listen, I understand Brezenday. You know, that's my dog. You know, you got to defend your daddy. You got to defend your daddy. You know, that's my dog, you know, and you got to defend your daddy. You got to defend your daddy. You know, everyone's going to have an opinion. How they gonna have an opinion, Unc? That's the world we live in.

You know, they want Lil Wayne to look and perform a certain way based on what we're used to seeing from Lil Wayne. But you don't get no performers like that at an event like the SNL. No, there's only so much you can do. There's only so much you can do. There's only so much you can do. You know, there's only so much.

I mean, if he like, if I could see him at a performance like a Woodstock or a Rolling Loud or something like that, I could have something to judge it by. But I'm not going to judge Lil Wayne's performance at SNL 50 and compare it to somebody performing at the Super Bowl. That's two different events. That's two different events. And I think what they're talking about based on what they're with. I didn't see it. I didn't see it.

But the only thing they can compare it to, maybe the energy, maybe the stage presence. Maybe that's the only thing I can think of. That's the only thing I can think of. Because when you think about Lil Wayne performing, I think energy. Excitement. Eng engaging with the crowd, getting everybody going. I tell you what, who want to see Lil Wayne? Let's just say it for verses. Who want to see Lil Wayne in those verses?

Hold on. If you put Lil Wayne in the verses, who the hell are you going to go against? That's what I want to say. There's only a handful of people that can actually have the catalog to even go against it Right me Now they don't have no people don't even sell catalogs no more You got to go online and see it right. I mean, I mean catalog i'm speaking of his body of work as far as music is I know what you're talking about

Uh, i'm, I'm, I'm. Well, I thought, I thought uh, uh, uh, Tim and uh, uh, uh. Swizz Beatz? Swizz Beatz. Swizz. I thought it was gonna be, I thought it was about to start uh, uh, verses up again.

That would have been good. That would have been good, but I don't think anybody would, would probably watch as much as they did before, because it been good, but I don't think anybody would probably watch as much as they did before, because it was good because everybody had to be in the house. Wouldn't nobody... Yeah, you and then COVID.

Yeah, COVID was going on. So that was a perfect time to do something like that. Who y'all wanna see, who y'all like to see battle Wayne? Some people say Kanye. Okay, that's a good one, because Kanye has the catalog to be able to, to, to match. Now the sounds are got there are completely different. The sounds of the music are this is apples, oranges, still great in their

own right, but completely different. I say Lil Wayne Jay Z. Uh, no. Alright, Ocho. We got your favorite segment back. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Chat, let's give it up.

It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great hardened me. It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness. We all have moments like this. Something happens that's supposed to break us. But it's in these moments that we discover what we're really made of. I promise you, if anyone knows this, it's me.

I wish I could tell you, Ocho. Okay, now I just gave you that easy one just to get you in the flow of things. Okay, I appreciate that. The Harlem Renaissance was propelled by this poet's work, including Harlem. What happened to- Langston Hughes? You might stop playing with those shades. Give me the- give me the- let me- let me- let me- let me- let me- let me- let me- let me-

Now, who- now, have you witnessed the Harlem Renaissance? I don't doubt it. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Now, something is a little sketchy now. Now, who, now, have you, were you briefed on these questions? Did they give you something to study before we did this? Because I'm trying to think how before I even finish, you know, asking the question you answering. Because I don't want you to say the chat didn't help me out. That's why I'm answering them fast. Because you're going to say the chat helped me. Now the Rosa Parks one I understand.

Now get that one. Now the rest of them, I ain't even finishing. You just throwing the answer out to me. Yeah. I'm black. I went to a black school. I mean, I should know a little something. Okay.

Oh, hold on. Yeah, got him. Got him. Ooh. Mm. Oh, I don't know. Yes, Stefan. Stefan. Hey, you, you know, man, I'm a chat time out time. I need I need to talk to like because your questions were somewhat easy.

And the fact that you went to a HBCU, it made it even easier for you. Now, when it came to me, now, I know I was a spelling spelling bee champ from 1985 to 1997. But the words that I'm being asked to spell are so far extreme. Bro, do you see the words those little kids be spelling? Yeah, but that is their profession. That ain't no profession. It's their profession. Man, them kids, trust me, they can spell,

but they know a lot more-ish than spelling words. Most of those kids are homeschooled and they'd be graduated like 13. See, that's the problem. I wasn't homeschooled. Now, you know, I was in the back of the bungalow and you know, damn man, I went 0 for 5. I don't, that don't sit.

0 for 6. You ain't had to say that. You ain't had to throw that at You ain't had to throw that there. And I was so confident about tonight too. Chad, I let y'all down. Chad, I apologize. Like on behalf of me, I really apologize. I let y'all down and I'm embarrassed,

Happy birthday to you, baby Her cash app and accepting though, Love you guys and the show. And I know my baby girl, she's probably watching.

I know she's probably playing call to duty right now. You shouldn't be asleep because I know you got class in the morning. Happy birthday to my wonderful Shael, Kiorra, Johnson, beloved. I know you got track practice and I know you have class in the morning. So get off the goddamn game and go to bed.

Happy birthday birthday baby. Drew said I have a solution to save the NBA All-Star game making East versus West again and winning conference gets home court advantage for the finals. I agree. That's a good one. I think that was a solution. Yep kind of like what baseball did. J. David says what are your thoughts on these two three hundred million dollar contracts paid out per game? I'm Per game? Yeah, I mean it's to say I mean, I mean you're asking how much are the is a contract worth per game?

You're making that kind of money? Because I think I think best I think they get paid twice a month for the season. Why did they play and they get paid twice a month? I'm not mistaken. Joey, no fun. You could revive the All-Star game by taking them overseas. Stay with me now.

European soccer does it in the off season. On the off season could encourage players to build their brand throughout the international exposure. What do you think? I like that. I like I mean, but a lot of the do they go to Japan, they go to China, they go to Thailand, they go to single, they go. I mean, they go to a lot of these Asian countries. What would you? Oh, what's up? Uh, well Victor say we can say a lot of things about the NBA players, but the NBA PA looks out for his players, especially their top players. Shout out to King James and CP3 for helping them get their money. NFLPA need to do better. Shut it down. You also have to understand. Now, before you say that, now,

remember the players have guaranteed contracts. Their money's already guaranteed. You know what they did, right? They fought for that. They shut it down. They shut it down. Now think about how many of them it is compared to NFL players.

Players are reliant on NFL players. What happened? I'm gonna give you a little history. I think they struck in 82. They struck in 87. You guys got locked out in 2011. In 87, I ain't gonna call no names, but y'all need to go back and look at those guys. That a lot of those are first ballot Hall of Famers and see how many of them cross the picket line. I don't call no names, but y'all gonna take a look at it. I don't need to say, I ain't gonna say anymore, but y'all go look at the guys that will play it. Ryan is asking, Ocho, is a sporting event a good first date? That's a phenomenal first date.

That's a great question too. But you have to understand the type of woman you're dealing with. For a first date, you want to, you want to make sure she, you've asked her questions on what she likes to do. And if she likes sports, if she likes sports, a sporting event is a great way to break the ice, hockey game, NASCAR. I'm not sure if you ever been to a NASCAR race and you set up. That is, Oh my goodness.

Now, obviously football is cool, but I'm just saying, uh, things that are fast paced where you get, you get great conversation and actually, yeah, you need, why you watching? Uh, go to, you know, I want to go, probably go to one to go to, uh, in the accident, why you watching? Go to, you know, I want to go probably go to one of, go to Daytona, Talladega, Charlotte, Andy, one of those big super tracks where you just look at it. You got two miles, you got two and a half, I mean, you got that two mile oval, two and a half mile.

Yeah. Exciting. Very, I don't know if anybody in this chat has never been to NASCAR. If you haven't, even if you don't like NASCAR, the experience is different when you're actually there sitting in the stands. You will enjoy it. Willie said the streets need Go James on Club Shayshae interview. Ocho, when we hitting first watch?

Oh boy, if you remind me, I'm gonna be at first watch tomorrow morning boy after I hit the gym so right damn pines, right damn pines in the Plaza Book Walmart every time. Filthy Mcnasty, yo Unc and Ocho, how about a trade? Unc gets his money, Unc gets his fun-colds and his trophies, sounds like it's even to me. How can we make this happen? We still talking about that money? Why he even bought that up? Yeah, you know what else? We right there in New Orleans. Where about fifty two hundred dollars?

You forgot to tell me. You forgot to tell me. If you had told me, I would have remembered. I would have remembered. I promise you. I would have said something because I had cash on me, too Jordan over LeBron wizards have no identity no culture Sheldon Pope says oh Joe you think this tank Davis fight don't play out How you think this take David's fight? Are we gonna get tank versus Shakur Oh tank versus Shakur? No, he thought the tank Davis Tank is fighting somebody else first. I think Brother Rose, right?

And then he's asking, are we going to get Tank vs. Shakur? Yeah, at some point we're going to get Tank vs. Shakur. I'm not sure when. Now obviously this Tank fight that he does have coming up, if I'm not mistaken, sometime in March, I think it's going to turn out how all the Tank fights have come out. He's fighting a quality opponent. I don't think it's gonna turn out how all the tank fights have come out. He's fighting a, you know, a quality opponent. I don't think it's gonna be a walk in the park, but at some point, at some point, like all his fights have turned out, you know, I think he's gonna come out on the winning

end and that's no disrespect to his opponent. And obviously if him and Shakur fight, man, that's gonna be nice. That's gonna be special. That's gonna be a great fight. How it's gonna turn out, I don't know. Because Shakur, when it comes to being a magician from a defense, nigga, Shakur's defense is his offense. His defense is his offense.

So I'm not sure how that's gonna turn out. The person that makes the fewest mistakes wins that fight. Oh, that's a good question. Hey, that tank of Shakur would be a good one. The Shakur have enough power to to keep Tank off of him too. That's the question. That's the guy. That's, oh that's good. Hey, look at that little pit bull.

What's up, Teddy? Talk. Say my name is Teddy Bear. I'm two years old. I went to the vet today and they told me that I need to, I ain't gonna be able to, I ain't gonna be a father. What happened? He said, I'm gonna have to go out and go a procedure.

Oh man, you got him neutered? I'm gonna have to. No, why? His prostate is enlarged. Okay, okay, okay. And so, and plus he's got the personality he's gonna have. So I've only had two of my dogs. And so and plus he's got he's got the personality he's gonna have so I've only had I've only had two of my dogs. I mean one of them got like he was like nine when it happened
