Did you know colon cancer is considered one of the most preventable, yet least prevented cancers? When caught in the early stages, colon cancer has a survival rate of 90 percent. So screening and early detections are key to reducing overall colon cancer has a survival rate of 90%. So screening and early detections are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths.

That's why the American Cancer Society recommends that if you're at average risk, you begin screening for colon cancer at age 45. And a convenient way to do that is with Cologuard tests. The Cologuard tests allow you to be in control of your colon cancer screening through prescription-based tests delivered to your door with none of the prep that's required for colonoscopy.

No liquid prep, no days off, no invasive procedures. Plus, Cologuard test is affordable. Most insured patients pay zero dollars, and a follow-up colonoscopy is needed after a positive Cologuard test. This is usually covered by insurance also. So, if you're 45 years of older and at average risk, you can ask your healthcare provider about screening for colic cancer with the coli guard test. You can also request a coli guard prescription today at coli guard dot com slash podcast.

The coli guard test is intended to screen adults 45 and older at average risk for colorectal cancer. Do not use coli guard test if you have had athenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes or personal or family history for colorectal cancer. Do not use coliGuard tests if you have had adhenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease, and certain hereditary syndromes or personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The coliGuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopies. High-risk patients coliGuard test in adults 45 to 49 is estimated based on a large clinical study

of patients 50 and older. False positive and false negatives can occur. ColiGuard is available by prescription only. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network.

I want to let the podcast, podcast P family know that after today's episode with, uh, with the white, I plan to take a break from pod from the pod Just to focus on getting my body right getting mentally right, you know Help this squad make a push towards our goal to finish the season and give ourselves a chance to be in contention to complete compete for championship Can ask your question, yes, what's it? what's the what's Philly's record again? A whole lot of losses to very few wins.

So is there a chance honestly? No. Realistically? They would have to go remember I had said in order to They're like 20 games under 500. They need to win all they need to win out. God damn. Is that even possible? No. I mean, the Lakers won 33 games in the world. The Heat won 27 games in a row.

I mean, maybe somebody's won 20, but I think the Rockets might have, somebody, yeah. The Bucks. I mean, I like the decision, you know, in a sense, but I also like Paul George having the platform to voice his opinion, to talk about the game, talk about any other things he wants to talk about when it comes to the aspect of his game.

Regardless of him being hurt or hampered or injured right now, people would want to hear from him. I think the pressure probably coming from inside the house. You know, we're not playing well right now. You're not playing well as you should be. We're not winning. We think you should cut the podcast out. You know how it goes, man.

Yeah, I do, I do, I do. Everything is magnified when you lose. When you lose, bro. Everything is magnified. We couldn't sit on our helmet. Like, we lost the game because I'm sitting on my helmet in practice. That's why you think we lost?

Yeah. Oh, my shoes untied. I didn't have my shoes tied when I walked on the field. Man, you know everything. The locker room junkie Bad ain't nobody picking up the towels. I mean it right But hey, what do you do you try anything? I mean when you losing you'll try anything to get out of that losing streak. No, I mean you dress a certain way You want to gain less and I'm gonna wear the same outfit cuz that's what we did. I wore the same suit

Every oh we went on the road in 97. Oh children the playoffs. Yes, sir. Oh, we went on the road in 97, Ocho, in the playoffs? Yes, sir. Oh, we beat Kansas City? Hey, y'all better not change that suit. We went to Pittsburgh, beat Pittsburgh. Well, y'all better wear them same suits to the Super Bowl. Divine, Ocho, we done tricked, we done paid. It was what we had on. Really?

Yeah. Superstition. Kansas City didn't know we were the same outfit But uh I Commended He know he's catching flag, bro. You playing bad and you got a pocket. You need to be practicing You need to be getting ready. Oh, you know how it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely That's what probably they're saying.

Maybe management came to him and said, bro, you may even pull the podcast a little bit. Yeah, you're doing too much. Yeah. I mean, everything is magnified when you lose it. Everything. It is. Everything. I just like the fact that Paul George has a platform. He knows the game. He's still active playing the game and just being able to talk about it. You know, people want to hear from him You know whether you lose whether you lose in the winning, you know, he has a knowledge of it But but I kind of understand, you know the backlash he's getting I do too. I do too and that comes along with the territory when you win. Yeah

RIP to the chain game. Oh Joe NFL installing electronic systems to measure first downs for the 2025 season. Talk about a memorable chain game moment from your playing days, Ocho. Oh, a memorable chain game moment. You know, that's a good one. That's a good one. When I think about it, I really haven't had any issues as far as the chain game goes. Except running their ass over when they get, don't drop that, don't drop that chain. Yeah, most of the time when the chains came out to measure, I'm going to the sideline to grab some water. You know? But I like the idea of the virtual assistance

because human error has been wrong many times before, especially when it comes to spotting the ball. So I like the idea of doing it this way. Virtual assistance has been in soccer. Some have say it's ruined soccer, but I like the fact that they get it right every time. They get it right every time. So using this, it eliminates being able to blame the refs

for any errors at all. So the calls will always be right. And it seems to be, this was based on Buffalo not getting it. Because how many, how many calls have we seen like this over the years? Yeah, yeah. And it's- That was clear, that was clear as day, huh? He didn't get it.

He was not over that line. He was not. The ball was tucked into his chest. Now if he was able to extend the ball, which he couldn't do it because he was in the crowd because of the guy's knocked out. And he's in the field of play because if he gets knocked out, it's not, you don't get the same privilege as goal line, the ball. You good.

You do that in the regulation and you do that in the field of play. It's a fun. And he liked the guy that knocked out before remember Ocho and they can't he, he get jumped right on it. Oh, you jumped right back on it. Yep. Oh, yeah. I look, if it's going to help put people's mind at ease, but you know what people and fans are going to find something else to be complaining about.

Yeah. They need to do it for, they need to put it in for holding. They need to do it for this. They need to do it for that. Yeah. You do realize that human element is in this thing. The football game would take five hours if they had virtual assistants for every little thing. Ojo, many think that Ben Johnson, the former offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, took an unnecessary shot at Jerry Goff earlier. Let's take a listen to the sound. Out of structure, the off schedule, the creation, that's what stands out the most,

because that's really the way that this league's going right now it seems like. As much as you want to make it pure progression, one to two to three, there's just too much variety, the pass rush is coming down, and to have an athlete like Caleb extend the play, and potentially find an explosive down the field, that's what gets me going a little bit.

I get excited thinking about that because I haven't really been around that since I've been in the league, but I've been on the other side and I've experienced it. It's demoralizing when you're on the other side and you're watching that happen to your defense. That ain't no shot. Yeah, I don't think it's a shot. It's the truth. Obviously, listen, no, you think it is?

No, it's the truth. Caleb, I don't think it's a shot. It's the truth. Obviously, listen, no, you think it is? No, it's the truth. Caleb Williams can make off-scripted plays. Oh yeah, absolutely. There's a handful of quarterbacks in the NFL that can do that. And the fact that Ben Johnson's never been around a quarterback that can extend plays

and play off-script most of the time. When things break down, you go through progression. One, two, three is not there. Most quarterbacks, that's a sack for Jared Golf. Yes. You know, he's not a mobile quarterback. He's your prototypical drop-back quarterback. Go through his stuff, check down if it's not there.

Caleb Williams can extend plays and therefore make the play calling that much more better for Ben Johnson, who's already creative. So he can be able to do that much more. Look how good golf was with Ben Johnson calling the plays. So imagine what he can do with Caleb Williams with the creativity from that aspect. And if things don't work out, well, you know what?

I ain't got the trip because I got Caleb Williams who's a dual threat and can use his legs and extend plays for me and make something happen when there's nothing there. But that's the thing. He was asked a question. He says he's looking forward to playing with a guy that can make plays off script. Right. And he can. That's what Caleb Williams can do. He can make plays off script. You know, basically when you diagram the play, that's the play that's got to get run because that's not what Jerry golf feels and that's okay That's okay. There's nothing wrong with that. They make it seem like what they are So what are the differences? So anybody that think he's taking a shot at at jerry? If you watch jerry golf play and you watch caitlin williams plays, what do you think some of the differences are?

Ability to make plays outside the pocket, his scrambling ability, his ability to get off script, ability to change arm angles, arm slots. Okay. Yeah, I don't, you know, hey, what's the difference between, what's one of the main differences is between Saquon and

Derrick Henry. Saquon's a little bit more shifty, a little bit more elusive. Whatcha call him runs with a little bit more power. That's not taking a shot at either one of them. That's just factual. What's the difference between McCaffrey and this one? Well, McCaffrey, you can put him in the slot, you line him up outside, better catch the ball out of the backfield.

A lot of times they took their Henry out. A lot of times they took Seguon out on third down. Right. They don't take Seemac out on third down. So that's not a knock. We got to, just because you're accentuating the differences, that don't mean you're hating or you're knocking the other guy. You're just accentuating the differences that don't mean you're you're hating or you're knocking the other guy You're just accentuating the differences between two said players, right?

But you know how it is on show man you a Now everybody feel like you taking a shot at the man. I don't think the man was a shot. Yeah A coach like that has to be able to explain the differences in what he experienced one place and what he's gonna experience at a new place based on that specific position without it being seen in disrespect. Yeah.

Because it's the honest truth. Right. Ocho, he also said he would sacrifice both testicles for the Bears to win a Super Bowl. Already got three kids. What would you sacrifice? First of all, if you get rid of, you ain't gonna get no wood.

Yeah, well, you can get some wood. You don't need a testicle to get no hoo-ha. So how you gonna put a popsicle stick up there and hold it like you got a splint? How you gonna get an erection? Oh, and hold it like you got a splint? How you gonna get an erection? Oh, you take, you know, you could take out, you could take out what allows you to have kids.

Do that. So, no, he said he had his testicles removed. He ain't say nothing about no vasectomy. Oh, oh, oh yeah, oh yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know about that, because yeah, I ain't doing that. Hey, I don't know about no, hey, I got kids. I'm keeping mine. He gave to me for a reason. Yeah, yeah he did.

He didn't want me to help, he wouldn't have gave them to me. You right, listen, you right about that. I'm with you when you're right. Now listen, I'm picking up what you're putting down. Speaking of kids, I want one more. What you think? Huh? I want one more. I don't know, Ocho. I ain't got no brain. Hey, you must be- hey, well damn, I need to go back to ESPN because you talking about another kid,

they call money. I ain't got no brain like that. Nah, I'm just saying, but listen, I'm not trying to be funny. I've always been humble. You know, I'm a very humble person. I'm very, very respectful. I mean, just with the way things are going right now,

man, listen, God has favor. You hear me? Yes. God has favor and what he's doing for me right now I think I think I think one more won't hurt you know I'm gonna see how I'm gonna see how my kids feel about it and uh if they if they give me the green light I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna go ahead and do that. Just get it out the way. No.

Wait, you talking to me? Oh, it's going to go, absolutely not. Joy, are you typing this? Oh, no. That ain't happening. What happened? No, Ashley's sending me something. I want to know too. Somebody text me.

Why y'all don't never text me? I want to be part two. It's a two man show. You got your producer. Do you got a producer over there? Okay, Aaron, text me what they just text Uncle. No. I just want to feel, I want to feel part.

Y'all be leaving me out like I'm a step child. Yeah, thank you. Okay. How about this here Bill's head coach? Sean McDermott says to his push play should be banned. There's always been a Injury risk with that play the technique used with the play have been potentially Contrary to the health and safety of the players. Bill used to play 55 times last year, second most in the league, but internal data shows the tush push play in 2024 resulted in zero injuries. Zero injuries. And listen, they don't want to stop it because of the injury. They don't want to stop it because of that aspect. They want to stop

the tush push because they have no way of stopping it in a short-garded situation. Right. And really, honestly, it only works for certain teams with certain players based on their personnel, but one of the E's is number one. I don't have the statistics in front of me on who else it works for. I think it also worked for Josh Allen, too.

Yeah, I think it's around 87, 88% conversion rate. Whoa, oh my goodness. Listen, I'd want to stop it too, but the fact that McDermott wants to stop it and he also benefits from it, you know? How about also throwing the rule, you know what, on short downs? Your quarterback came running?

Josh Allen, yeah, Josh Allen came quarterback to me. You see what that sounds like? Mm-hmm. Come on, man. It's like you're hindering somebody that's good at that better at something that you are. Yeah. Yeah. Because you can't learn how to drive. You don't know how to drive. Hey, anybody that's 16 years of age shouldn't be able to drive. No, just because you can't drive, that don't mean another 16-year-old can. So all that tells you is on first and second down, you need to play better defense.

Yep, and keep them out of third and short, or fourth and short. But I tell you what, they keep playing around with all these rules and they continue to change the game and what you grew up loving, it's gonna look like flag football, I'm telling you. I think the thing is, Ocho, look, the only thing I say is that,

cause like I said, I told you, I think we talked about this on Monday, is that it used to be you couldn't push the runner. It was called aiding the runner. Right. So you couldn't, and then they changed the rules. And now I guess they say, well, you can't be behind the line of scrimmage and aid the runner. So I guess if he's down the field, because we see guys, they, them line have been knocking

hell out of people and trying to push somebody in the end or for a first down since the beginning of time. We hadn't seen somebody literally, Ocho, get behind them and push. But when they first saw this, they should have said, nah, you're violating the spirit of the rule and did away with it then. Now, everybody tried it. They're not as good as the Eagles are. Okay, because we can't be as good as the Eagles are at it. Let's do away with it.

Right. That's, that's what it seems like to me because I mean, and they get a lot of support. A lot of people want to band it, Ocho. I heard Atlanta, obviously the Packers, you know, put it in. You see Sean McDermott here and Buffalo. Do they have enough to get to the 24 votes to get it out? That's the question. The funny thing about it's going to be funny when they do pass it and they still not able to stop the damn Eagles and show you all the situations.

No. No, no. Biggles wide receiver T Higgins just posted a cryptic message on Twitter. Blue cap for the second year in a row, Higgins has not received the right contract offer from Cincinnati. Ocho? What did I tell you they was going to do? What did I tell you they was going to do? I said this, the writing was on the wall.

Everybody in Cincinnati, they fuzzled with me. The fans argued with me over and over and over and over. We can pay both. We can make it happen. Not understanding the business side of things. What Tee deserves, what Tee deserves in understanding what he can get on the open market, they're not going to do.

Because it would be impossible to pay Tee. It'd be impossible to pay Jamar Chase, who's going to be the highest paid and reset the wide receiver market and play and pay brother Trey Henderson. You can't. It's impossible. Then people talk about oh the cap is going up like they're not tying up all the money in three players let alone four. Actually be four players because Burrow got hit by the,

here's the thing, Ocho, is that they said they want to make Jamar Chase the highest paid non-quarterback, okay? Chase is looking to go north for 40. Y'all have an opportunity to keep this in the 30s, but y'all may be playing it out. And I won the Triple Crown. So now you're going to have to come in at 40.

Okay, 40 million, 500,000, 41 million, whatever the case may be. I'm finna zoom past him by five million, six million. That's where I am. And I'm gonna need, I'm gonna need about 90 to 100 of a guarantee. Yeah. That's what I'm looking at, Ojo, real talk.

Yeah, listen, that's what I knew it was gonna look like that. I knew it was gonna look like that. I knew it was gonna look like that I'm gonna play this stuff out last year I kept saying I'm not sure why they're playing because why not pay him because you understand what you get in Oh, no, you know what you get when that product touches the field on Sundays. Yes He sat out of training camp He gave y'all every opportunity. He gave y'all every opportunity to give him a payday.

Every chance. Listen, I love my Bengals, but it puts us again in a tough spot. I was hoping they could get something done last year. They didn't get it done. He comes out this year, performs without having a training camp, wins a triple crown, and now local position win. T. Higgins has another strong season. I said it, what he can get on the open market, whatever, whatever deal they're gonna send him, whatever they're gonna, they're gonna try him. Yeah. They're gonna try him. Yeah. And which is why he sent that out. I don't know if it was Duke, what Duke Toven came out and said about not only making them trying to sign all three of them, I think that's where the cap came from.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, you trying to sign them, but somebody got to get the low end of the stick. Yeah. And who did I tell you had to be? T. It had to be T. T. look at the crack that 30 million.

And I don't know if they can get to that number. No, I guarantee the offer was very disrespectful. Yeah, for sure. Again, it's the business side of things. But hey, nobody wanted to listen to me. What y'all gonna do, Ocho? Listen, I don't know what we gonna do. I don't know what we gonna do.

Now, I think it would have been a little easier if we had Jermaine Burton on point, you know, from a mental, you know, mentally, off the field, on the field, if he was able to contribute, uh, based on the talent that I know he has, based on what I saw from him and at Alabama, I think they would be a little bit more comfortable, you know, would allow him to go and get what he deserves somewhere else on the open market. But the fact that I don't think Mr. Burton has,d enough, you know, to be able to let T go.

You know, in that sense, I know T ain't finna stay and play on no franchise tag again. That would be the ultimate disrespect. Allow him to go get the value and what he deserves and he worked his, you know what, his tail off to get. I agree. And once you're gone, they ain't gonna give you no discount either. Trey Hendrickson. Oh no. I agree. And what you call it, they don't give you no discount either, Trey Hendrickson. Oh no, not now. I mean, so what? You're going to have a $55 million quarterback, a $40 million receiver, a 30 plus million receiver,

and a 30 plus million D lineman? You can't, you can't pay everybody. You can't. You just can't. Oh Joe, 49ers dream. John Lynch says he will honor Deebo Samuel's request for a fresh start. Debo has been granted permission to seek a trade and his tenure in San Francisco will end after six seasons.

Hey, I think we talked about this not too long ago about great spots for Debo Samuel. I like Debo Samuel because he's a Swiss Army knife. He can do so many things. He can do so many things. He can do so many things. Listen, from the backfield, from the slot, sometimes you can go on outside, you put him in motion, you can then splits, you can do so many things with him. I just wanna make sure Debo.

Yeah, huh? He can return points and kickoffs? Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. Listen, that's why I call him a Swiss Army knife. But he needs to go to a place where they're gonna utilize him not just stick him in the offense and say, here, this is our offense. You learn a Pacific position and you go from there.

Use him the right way. Be creative. I want him to go to a place, obviously I want the West Coast system for him. I think that would be ideal. But also have an officer coordinator that has the creativity to use him to his strengths, to help boast to whatever office he goes to.

He can do too many things very well. Yeah, he definitely has to go somewhere that understands how to use him. Because like you said, you can't use him like a conventional receiver. Okay, bro, go run a dig, Rob. Go run a square out. Nah, you have to do a lot of different things in order to maximize what he's really good at. He needs the ball in his hands. That's what he's best at, run after catch. Very good.

So find ways to get it, toss it to him, hand it to him, bubble screen, jailbreak screen, whatever you want to say, hey, yeah, he can run occasionally, he can run on an occasional day. He's good on the overrounds, but you gotta find a way, you gotta have an OC that's creative

and understands what he's dealing with. He's not Jamar Chase, he's not Jeddah, he's not a guy that really works, really can work exclusively outside, like those two guys can, but you can bump those guys inside. He's mainly a slot receiver. Yeah. But he can give you value in the kick return, He can give you value occasionally on the point return. He can give you the value in a handoff or a toss, a jet sweep, things of that nature. But you gotta understand how to use it because if you think he's just going to be a conventional

receiver, you're wasting him and you're wasting your time and money. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Tom Brady has been recruiting Matthew Stafford to come to Las Vegas. Stafford met Brady in Montana. Per the report, they spent time together and went skiing. Brady has been actively trying to convince Stafford to join the Raider. And discussion is ongoing.

I don't know. I mean, look, Stafford wants $45-50 million. Even though he's $36-37 on Joe, the guy plays well. Look, Stafford wants $45, $50 million. Even though he's 36, 37 on Joe, the guy played well. Oh yeah, very well. He played very well. And he still has an arm for a cannon now. Yes.

Yes. I think me personally, I think Matt wants to go somewhere where he can contend. I don't think the Raiders are a quarterback away. I could be wrong, but I think they need more than just a quarterback. But if you think about it, Ocho, who is a quarterback away that has room for him? You think the Steelers are just a quarterback away? Hey, that's a good one. The Steelers are just a quarterback away if the defense could's a, that's a good one. The Steelers are just a quarterback away.

If the defense could play stealer defense, like we're used to, used to seeing them do. Okay. I think they're quarterback away. If the defense can get back to playing stealer football that we're used to seeing. Do they need another guy outside of George Pickett? That would be nice. That would be nice because this is because it takes some of the pressure off of Stafford.

I'm just saying if Stafford was a quarterback. And obviously, you know what it would do, and if you have another dynamic player outside of Pickett, then it takes some of the pressure, not only off of Stafford, but then obviously, Nyjah Harris as well. Well, Nyjah's not back. Yeah.

Doesn't look like he's gonna be back. You don't think so? Like I said, in this situation, Ocho, like I said, the Raiders, I don't think the Raiders are quarterback away. Do I think he'll improve them? Yes. Because you look at what's in that division, Ocho, you got my homeboy, you got Justin Herbert, and you got Bo Nicks. So in order for you to compete, you're going to have to get a quarterback. Right. You're not going to be able to, it's the same thing in the AFC North.

You got Joe, you got Joe Burrow and you got Lamar. So I don't know what Cleveland is going to do. I don't know what the Steelers is going to do, but if you want to compete in that division, you better go get your quarterback to compete with him. You got, you got, you got to have one. You got to have one. Especially to have one especially you got Daniels you got Jalen Hurts that to a degree Jad if you want to compete you better go get your quarterback yeah even in the NFC North Jerry golf golf, you got Minnesota situation, you got Caleb Williams.

So what you gonna do? And you got Jordan love. You got to have quarterbacks to compete where the, where the division is quarterback heavy. Right. Um, I would like to see Stafford stay in LA, but I don't know, Ocho, if at 50 million, they're gonna be able to put more pieces around him

in order to be successful. I love Kyron Williams. Ooh, he nice. Puka, look, they're gonna move, they're looking to move Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup, yeah. Offensive line, maybe you can get an offensive line, but defense, a solid defense stack.

I love that defense. So that's gonna be a very, very, very interesting situation. Ocho, the Jersey, Victor Wimbenyama gave a child sales for 73,000. The Jersey Wimby gifted a fan after the December game sold for 73,000 days after the Spurs star season ended. The decision to sell the jersey so quickly raised the possibility that the child's parents had planned to sell the jersey all along. Golden declined to go into specifics of the seller or how long the company has been in discussion

to sell the item. Despite the injury news, his memorabilia market has been impacted by the short term. A rookie card of his sold for $860,100, a record price Saturday night on Golden in addition to the jersey Ocho you like this? I Mean listen I'm sure it was a fan that like you said before when we talked about this a fan that was sitting courtside

Mm-hmm in order to sit courtside. I'm sure the family obviously you have to have some kind of some kind of good money Yeah, you got to have some kind of good money man Yeah, but obviously a huge spike in chunk of cash like that, you know, not knowing their financial status. I'm assuming they felt that was more important or more valuable than actually having the jersey itself. But you know what this does? Not guys that are not going to want to get fans. They stuff? Yeah. Because I'm going to look up and I'm going to see it on Google Google. I'm gonna see it on one of these auction sites. Right, right, right.

Because that's the case, hell, I keep it myself and sell it. Mm-hmm. That's what I hate. Look, like you said, I don't know the financial decision to this situation, but it's hard for me to believe that that young man could be sitting courtside and they need they heart up for money. Because like you said, course side isn't cheap.

Yeah. You're right. Wait, wait, wait, it depends on the team. Now it depends. Now Lakers course side seats. Yeah. Lakers course side seats. That's expensive.

I don't even want to remember the numbers. I think the Knicks would probably be expensive also. Yeah. So maybe Boston. I mean, San Antonio, what's your thing? No, I think that what, what would they add? Actually, were Were they were there at the Lakers game or were they in San Antonio? I Think they were the Lakers Well, hey listen Lincoln Lakers court-sized seats man, that's a down payment for a car man. Oh

I could imagine what that those tickets went for a Lucas first home game Okay, you might do it over one for Let alone the playoffs Okay, don't even tell me Man, please Ocho a twenty twenty-nine. It was a Nets game Nets they were at the Nets It was a Nets game

Nets they were at the Nets Ocho a 29 year old man is seeking advice from reddit community after ending a relationship with a woman who had not previously Disclosed she was a mother the man explained that he had been dating this 25 year old Julia about a month and was caught off guard when she mentioned having a seven month old baby. I was taken aback. I honestly thought I'd misheard her. I thought maybe she was talking about a younger sibling. But when I asked her, she casually confirmed she has a seven month old baby. He says he had been enjoying time with Julia up until that point. While he adds that he adds that he doesn't judge single mothers,

he felt blindsided by the information and uncomfortable with the prospect of becoming a stepparent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, women have to, there's certain things with certain men. Put it all on the table. Hey, listen, put it all on the table right away.

Let them know. There's some men having kids, non-negotiable. I can't do it. I can't do it. Then there's some people like me, If you don't have at least two kids I'm not even looking at you. I Ain't look I ain't even I'm not even looking at you if you ain't got at least two That that's just me. That's just my preference now everybody else. They ain't rocking like that

Why do you want it? Why do you want? Why do you want to date only one of the females that have kids? What is it about that? Is that a key? Women that don't have kids most of the time, 98.9% of the time, they never have no goddamn food in the refrigerator. And they don't have no snacks in the pantry and they always want to go out to eat and they want to put on and give looks. I don't care about you dressing up. I don't care about you taking pictures of your food.

Do you have snacks in the pantry? Do you have Capri Suns in your refrigerator? Do you have oatmeal pies? Do you have Zingers? Like I need nourishment at three in the morning when we have a little activity horizontal at that. There's a difference. I dated women in my lifetime when I was younger,

way younger, spending night and ain't no food, but they always wanna go out to eat. What are we gonna eat today? What you mean? You ain't got nothing at home? No, going to the refrigerator, Aunt, refrigerator empty. Ain't no food.

Every time I dated a woman that has kids, there's a certain routine and structure of discipline because she always has to feed the child or feed the kids. Man, listen, boy. Three, four in the morning and you go up there and get one of the kids lunchables and a Capri Sun? Man, stop playing with me, man. Stop playing with me. The mere fact that he says it uncomfortable with the prospect of becoming a stepparent lets me know that he dates with intention. Right. So do I. I date with intention too. He's dating.

If you got two we gonna make it three. If you got three we gonna make it four. If you got four we gonna make it four if you got four we gonna make it five the hell you say wait laughing boy you laughing why ain't playing no but I'm just saying I'm like it sounds like he would genuinely hurt and he really like it he was he was I mean just just put it out on the table. Hey, you have any kids? You have three. When I was there.

You got kids? Yeah. How old are they? X, Y, BOOP BOOP. Because I'm going to put it all out there. And then you determine. I guess it's different, Ocho, because a lot of times when guys have kids, the kids don't necessarily they don't have physical custody. Like 90, 95 percent of the the woman did the woman the women do

So I think that's the difference where women is like and some women like now you got kids That's a no-no because I ain't dealing with no baby mama I'm not dealing with no ex-wife and I totally get that but a lot of times women are willing to like go past that because a lot of times the men doesn't have Physical custody so the child is not there all the time. With women more times than not I'm not saying also don't jump on that character. I'm saying a lot of the majority of the time the women have custody, physical custody, not to say the child doesn't have physical custody. He can go to his parents maybe I mean the mom dad, like on the weekends, or maybe they alternate every other week.

But more times than not, the mother have physical custody. So that's- Yeah. You know, you got to think, especially when you're young, some of the young bulls, you know, just starting out, they might want to start their own family, don't want to deal with a woman that already has kids. He probably knew that, which is why she didn't bring it to the forefront and say it in the beginning. There are some women that are very assertive

and intensely let you know, well, listen, this what I got. We are a package deal. So if you're not willing to take me and Lil Ray Ray and Cece, we're going about your business. Right. You know, going about your business.

There's some women that don't care and feel they will find a man that meets their standards and checks some of the boxes that will be able to accept their kids. I mean, I'm one of those, I don't care. I don't care. You know, especially if they older. Oh, man, come on, man.

Come on, man. Yeah, so, bro, I don't know if the Reddit community can help you. That's a decision you're gonna have to make on, man. Come on, man. Yeah. So, bro, I don't know if the Reddit community can help you. That's a decision you're gonna have to make on your own. And it seems like you're like, you're convinced. I mean, for me, I mean, if y'all, if she was as good, I mean, the mere fact that you thought about becoming a stepfather, that lets you know where your head is, like, man, you really like this woman.

Yeah, yeah, most definitely, most definitely. But that's a lot too, uncle. Cause everybody ain't dated with intention, Uncle Joe. Yeah, hey, but listen, man, you really like this woman. Yeah, yeah, most definitely, most definitely. But that's a lot too, Uncle. Because everybody ain't dating with intention, Uncle Joe. Yeah, hey, Uncle, but listen, man. You got to think about it. That's a lot, Uncle, to come in and have the mindset. Some people see it as, oh, no, I ain't doing that. And have to take care of or raise someone else's child.

Yeah. Yeah, that's tough, man. Uncle, you got to be built different. You, that's tough, man. You gotta be built different. You gotta be wired mentally different. You hear me? Yeah. Yeah, that's a tough task. It's a tall task.

It is. It's one I'm willing to take. I climb any ladder. Well, I think the thing is for me, the kids, but the other co-parent. How's he? Cause you gotta realize, if she got kids, there's somebody on the other side that also has kids.

What's he like? Is he gonna just be popping up and, ah, oh, you think you got this in, he think he all that? Right. I can't do that now. I can't do the drama. I can't be out somewhere and he pop up. I can't take the kids to go get a haircut.

Why you let this mofo get my son haircut? Yeah. I ain't never had him problem. No. But I'm just saying. Right, right, right never had any problems. No, but I'm just saying. Right, right, right. Because I saw the thing, the dude, the boy had to, I guess the guy, maybe it was a stepdad

or maybe it was a guy she was dating. He had the little boy to get a haircut. It put the barber in an uncomfortable spot. Oh. Why you got my son? I ain't telling him he can get no hair. Oh Lord. Yeah, that's a lot there.

Yeah, yeah. See, but all that has to be discussed beforehand. Right. All that has to be discussed beforehand. If you have a child with someone and you're getting ready to date someone and the child is not his, therefore I think the father should meet. So there's an

understanding. You know? Now when you do it your way and you're vindictive with the father of your child and you date anyway, even if you do have intent and you don't respectfully let him know, okay this is who I'm dating, this is who I'm going to be dealing with, you can come and meet him, whatever, this is who I'm dating, this is who I'm going to be dealing with. You can come and meet him, whatever, whatever. So he's comfortable with that if he does decide because you have to treat my son as if it's your own. Correct.

Yeah. You're absolutely right, Hocho. I mean, I've been in that situation, look. Y'all happy with this guy? Y'all trust him, I'm gonna trust y'all judgment. Yeah. I'm gonna trust your'all judgment yeah I'm gonna trust your judgment yeah everybody ain't built for that but long as my kids don't come back with no report we gonna be good now y'all know me yeah yeah okay

yeah okay I'll tell you one thing the more kids the better I don't know I don't know what they don't know what they be talking about on Twitter. Nah, my pockets can't stand that.

Thank you doc. We really appreciate your support. Just to say Luca Drinking is not a big deal. LT played with a Colombian cold and is regarded as the best defensive player ever. Uh Ocho, tell Uncle Bob TK Kirkland. TK who? TK Kirkland. I hear the TK Kirkland? TK Kirkland. What? TK, hey, TK Kirkland, one of the funniest men alive. Oh, you went to his comedy show? Oh, yeah.

Hey, he's good, he's good. He'll make you question some of the decisions you made in the past and have you thinking about what to do going forward. He the real deal. I'm gonna have to check it out.

He's the real deal. Moses said LeBron, Lucas is gonna eat LeBron cookies now. Nah. That's a good one. I'm sure LeBron didn't mind sharing the cookies, but you ain't finna take, you finna take all the cookies? And just because.

That you got a good reason, okay Ocho, cookies will spoil. Okay, blah, blah, blah. But just to take them, because you have that type, well you gotta be careful. Well, you got to be careful Mm-hmm Aaron or says I love to see the Lakers versus the Cavs in the finals. I couldn't think of a more compelling matchup Lakers and Celtics

That's a more compelling matchup We had it all in the 60s. We got it in the 80s now get in 2020s Got it in the eighties, now get in 2020s. Sheridan Pope said, Uncle Nocho, I hear former NBA player Vernon Maxwell say, rather, he rather have the money now over the rings. What would you prefer in today's society, the money or the championship ring? Well, Uncle, you can't eat them rings.

No. Them rings are great for conversational pieces. Right. Them rings, when it's time to talk about stats and accolades and what you've done and how many rings you've won, you know, in comparison to specimen becomes a sports debate. Oh, that's beautiful. That's lovely. You know, that's great to have, but that money is different, huh?

You can't eat them rings. And not most of the time. If you think statistically when it comes to athletes that aren't good with their money when they are playing two years removed from the game you know 98% 70% 80% whatever it may be there is no more money because they try to maintain a lifestyle that you can't keep up with once you stop playing what they got to do with them rings huh they got to do what yeah yeah you got to for me oh Joe But what they gotta do with them rings, huh? They gotta do what? That one? Yeah. You got to.

For me, Ocho, I don't know Vernon. I don't know Mac's financial status. I don't know how much he made when he played. Yes, sir. I get asked that a lot. I'm glad I don't have to make that decision because I took care of my money and I still got my rent. Yes, sir.

Yeah. See everybody like you. Everybody you're fortunate. You're one of the few statistically you in the 15%. Excuse me. You're right. Oh Joe, you're absolutely right. I didn't make a whole lot of money, Ocho.

I mean, you gotta realize, I came here as a seventh round draft pick. I made $63,000 my first year, $73,000, $225,000, $325,000. I was the first team all pro. Made $325,000. Made the Pro Bowl promo for the second time It is what it is. I just realized I was already starting behind the a ball So I need to go into overdrive as far as saving but right in the process of me trying to go overdrive. I got three kids Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you now. I'm I'm gonna take the little bit of money I got. I did good with my money.

I'm gonna take the money I got. I didn't make 50 million. I didn't make 70 million. Right. I made a decent living. I was able to keep... This is what you got to understand, huh? You didn't make 50 million. You didn't make 70 million. But what you did make, you know what to do with it. See, if you got $20 and you can't even't budget 20 you ain't gonna be able to budget 200. Right. If you got 200 and you can't budget 200 you ain't gonna be able to budget 2,000. If you got if you got 2,000 you can't budget 2,000 what you think

you gonna do with 20 million? If you have no structure of financial discipline it doesn't matter how much money they give you you gonna run through it regardless Because you never gonna win the stock when you're playing a game of football. The money's coming in so goddamn I'm sorry. The money's coming in so fast That you don't realize how much you're spending until you're done playing You don't realize it goes fast. It does. And you look at the numbers today. Look at the numbers today.

Anybody, anybody go break, anybody go broke with the kind of money they make it in pro sports now you need your ass whipped. It ain't how much you make is how much you keep. You're not listening though. If you getting this much money in today's game but you don't have the structure of financial discipline and what to do with it and you try to you try to maintain a certain lifestyle long after you done playing it it's gonna go but you don't need five houses you don't need 15 cars I got two

houses I got two houses. I got two. It's about the image. But damn the image. I know another image when you broke. Yeah. But, uh, listen, they get caught up in it. They get caught up in the lifestyle. They get caught up in the cars. You know, the jewelry, the fashion, the women, the entourages. It goes fast because there's too many miles of feed.

You got to tell everybody yes. You're scared to say no. I mean, it's so much. I do. It's so much. I mean, it is Ocho. Um, I mean, I like, I mean, I was a rockin guy. Cause Elijah was one of my favorite players and watch Max and Kenny Smith.

They had a Harare, they had Otis Thorpe, they had Sam I.M. Yeah. Man. I guess now, Ocho, you know, when you look back at it and you think about the money you made. Yeah. And you think about the money you made

and how much you actually kept Right. Damn. Where did that money go? That's the question you asked him man, oh Joe, I know I didn't spend that much money on Joe Hey, bro, they don't take it. Hey Man, when you have money going out and none coming in, trust me. I know. When I got let go by CBS, I was like, man. So I had to go in my own pocket and I would do a recap of Sunday's Game. I would find us a studio in Atlanta called Nursery Films.

My people reached out and said, okay, we could shoot it. We'd edit it. We'd get it out by the end of it, boom. But I was, every time I was doing, I did that every week. That was $12,000 out of my pocket. I ain't got no money coming in, Ocho. Yeah. All I got money going out.

I still, and after that, Ocho, I got the kids. I got to pay, I got, I got girls. You know, girls insurance is a little bit more than boys cause they get out this thing. They got features that can cause them to carry another human. Yes, sir, and they're at that age Right Talk to me now So and let me it's so funny when they're just on the topic to give you better Context and give those that that obviously people know that I'm I'm I'm

Fool or cheap or whatever? I like to call it. And I'm just financially conscious. To give you better context on how good I was with my money. I got messed up in 2011. I messed up. I took accountability, right? So boom, career going just like that.

I was so good with my money throughout my plan days where it ended abruptly. When nobody touched me for seven years, no money coming in, 51 kids. But I was good. Why was I good? Cause I took care of my chicken the right way. Fast forward, the past four, five years, it's been different.

It's been different to be in a position now. And I thank God all the time. I thank God all the time because I'm in a position now where I'm making just as much as I was when I was playing. And I'm talking about I'm on prime. It's different. Yep. You know? I can say God is good or I could just say,

well, my grandma always used to tell me back in the day, it is what it is. God is great. Philosophical truth and wisdom. Shannon, is that a gray patch of your hair? Yeah, what you mean? Hey, patch, I got a bunch of it. Catch me next week, it's gonna be jet black.

What do you think the Niners need to do this off season to contend and how far will the Warriors go in the playoffs? Happy birthday, hopefully you did something fun today.

What the war, first of all, they're gonna probably need to get Brock Purdy resigned, get healthy, get Christian McCaffrey back healthy, get Brandon Iuke healthy. That's going to help. Uh, they're going to have to show up to defense. I mean, uh, uh, uh, ward, I think ward is free. Um, Ray Warner's back.

You still have both of you have little Floyd. You have pieces. I think the biggest thing for them, you have Leonard Floyd, you have pieces. I think the biggest thing for them, Ocho, is to get healthy. Yeah. Get Christian McCaffrey back, get Brandon Ayute back. That's definitely going to help. Get Brock Purdy signed. How far with the Warriors going to playoffs?

Well, right now they're in the 10th spot. It's all about matchups. Do I think they can get to the Western conference finals? No, because I don't believe they can beat okay. See I don't believe they can beat the Nuggets I don't believe they can beat the Lakers, but we'll see Dangerous Al if your son asked you which sport should you start playing at an early age? What sport would you tell him baseball soccer? baseball soccer baseball at an early age, what sport would you tell him? Baseball. Soccer. Baseball. Soccer.

Baseball. How many American born soccer players? Listen, you said, listen, I'm not telling them to play baseball, I'm telling them to play soccer simply for the foundation of having your footwork together. If you able, when you get a little older, but if you start soccer early,

if you start soccer early like I did, I still have the greatest feet of all time. That's another story. But if you start soccer early, if you start soccer early like I did, I still have the greatest feet of all time. That's another story. But if you start soccer early, it creates a certain fundamental, a certain fundamentally discipline that other sports can teach. Every sport is from the waist down. Hockey, footwork, soccer, footwork, football, footwork. Football, footwork. Basketball, footwork. It all starts with the lower extremities. If you play soccer, your feet move at a different, it's just, it's different. So when you transition to

something else, you're always moving two steps ahead of anybody in that sport. Yeah, baseball. Because if you don't start playing, if you don't start playing at a young age and you see that curve ball you see that slider You ain't doing it. So baseball listen to me Can I ask you a question? Yes, think about all the kids that played baseball early and the small percentage That make it to the big leagues. Yeah, even smaller percentage plays hot soccer How many how many how many how many football players you think plays soccer coming up? How many you think play basketball coming up?

But you forgot what I just said. I was just saying soccer, simply speaking on what it can do for the footwork once you transition into the sport you actually want to play. Well, if you don't play baseball a little soon enough, I don't care what your feet look like. You ain't hitting that curve ball and you ain't hitting no 105 mile an hour fastball. Who ain't?
