You're listening to an iHeart podcast.
All right.
We got to bring Joe.
We're going to bring one of your teammates.
Uh, he played 15 seasons, both in the NBA and international games.
He's also a teammate of Joe's in the big three of the Detroit amps.
Here he is.
Jeremy Pargo.
Jeremy, how you doing, bro?
What's up, Monk?
I'm good, man.
Thanks for joining us tonight.
What up Chad?
What's going on fellas? Hey, man. Thanks for joining us tonight. Yo, yo, yo, yo, what up? Chad, what's going on, fellas?
Hey, Mr. Pago?
Yeah.
Hey, play me 101.
Hey, I kid you not.
I told my people I got a whiteboard right here
where I write scripts.
And I said I should write on this.
Chad, I will give you 40.
I should.
That ain't work.
Hold on, hold on.
You'll give me 40 in what?
You talking about playing NBA 2K?
No, I don't even play that game. We talk about real life
Yeah, yeah, yeah real life. I've been looking for you, too
I've been looking for you too because you'd like to talk I like it. Let's say what?
I ain't this way hard to find that I can come with you. Hey, listen, Chad
We had an encounter in Miami at the stoplight. We just had to stop like you tried to borrow my car
I told you you have whenever you wanted actually
Never you wanted actually
Because I know you're bringing it back. Oh absolutely.
Absolutely. It's good to see you, boy. Let's talk about a movie, you movie, a
movie that you star in. You co-wrote this film. The final play, the feature is about
to debut. The final play is available today on all major digital and
on-demand platforms. We have a snippet of the film. Let's take a look at it right now.
Let's do it.
Men love to be in control.
See that emoji got him thinking.
Access granted.
I know men like brailling.
Well, it chopped up, ain't it?
Yeah, yeah.
When are you free?
Uh-uh, don't be so available.
Don't be so unavailable.
Man, tell us that's next month.
Next month?
So, when did you start thinking like, you know what, I want to get into the film industry.
I want to write scripts.
I want to act.
I want to direct.
I want to be a part of this.
What made you decide to say, you know what, this is part two, this is act two
of my professional career?
My good friend, he plays Cory in the film, by the way,
his name is Rod.
He had me do something back in like 2016,
something smaller than moving.
I'm like, man, I ain't no actor at all.
He's like, no, just come do it.
So based on that, I ended up getting auditioned
for a Chicago PD, but I was overseas playing ball,
couldn't do the audition.
And to be honest, we athletes, we ain't got the confidence to walk in nobody's
audition room and think we about to read and get a role.
So I was like, you know what, I'm going to write something myself.
And I'm just going to surround this thing with a bunch of people that want to be
involved in the film world that are also athletes or people trying to do things.
So I wrote it that way, man.
During the pandemic, I just sat down with note cards and just was writing, writing, writing.
And my sister, Valentina Barton, who was big on everything,
she's a producer on the film, and this is what we got, man.
Fortunately, I was able to get Joe to show up.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Hey, man, I have one question also.
When it comes to writing, I'm a movie head, I'm a buff,
I'm an enthusiast when it comes to the art of acting
in general, I can't produce, I can't write, I can't do none of that. I'm just, I love I'm a buff, I'm an enthusiast when it comes to the art of acting in general.
I can't produce, I can't write, I can't do none of that.
I love the finished product of it.
I'm excited to check yours out.
But when it comes to writing, do you write from start to finish or do you do it in parts
separately?
Oh, so I had a co-writer on this because like you said, I didn't like to write in school.
I was a math guy. So when I was writing, I probably got maybe 30 pages out and
this was kind of easier to write because I was telling a story that I've pretty much seen. I lived.
Some of these come from a real place and I think this is relatable to all of us Athenians.
So when I was able to get about 30 pages, I hired a co-writer by the name of Barchet and he came in and he helped me build this
thing to where it is today and next thing you know we're 90 pages. Wow. Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey, Uncle Ochoa. Hey look, one thing about me, I ain't gonna tell no lie to you
because it sounds fly to you, okay? I gotta write that down. Listen, listen, it's a roko, a romantic comedy. Okay.
You're gonna laugh from start to finish and all of that's got some sentimental moments in there
you know to where you may shed a tear but it kind of puts you in the likes of like a best man.
Okay. You know something like that so it's it's it's it's a hell of a movie man
I wouldn't I wouldn't did the one too if I ain't think it was worth it. You know, I mean, right? Yeah. Yeah
Thinking I think you have an all-female production team. How important was that for you to have an all-female production team?
So coming into this thing, like I said, Valentina has been with me from jump.
So my good friend, Ernestine Morrison,
she lives in Atlanta and we shot this in Atlanta.
She's connected.
So we went through her for other actors and actresses.
We went to locations and then to Leah Breon,
who's another producer as well as director
who led everything.
She was amazing in terms of being a director
because this is the first thing I've ever done.
So taking her guidance was like having a coach
and just try to deliver on what she did.
And then it was crazy, man,
because these women knew what they wanted,
they knew how to get it,
and they were really bulldogs
in making sure we got what we needed.
So was it a situation?
I mean, you say it comes from a very personal point of view.
Did you always, did you know what you wanted, the direction kind of that you wanted to go and you
sit down and you sat down and talk to them and they said this is kind of this is kind of the
direction that I see it in my head because what you see in your head and being able to put it down
on paper might be entirely different. But having these women obviously enjoy, it's a romantic comedy and having women,
a point of view on one side of it to merge with your, what you, what your
vision is and get that to come together.
So a lot of it was just, like you said, when we experienced, um, some wants in
there, what I desire, I just, I was watching you guys talk about marriage
and all of those things.
So those are the things that I desire.
So, um, it was easy to find a way to work that into film and having
leaders, uh, in my life that, that has, has gone down that path in terms of
having long-term relationship with women.
Like my brother, like Joe, um, has always been great to see and, um,
continue to build in that, in that aspect in a movie came together.
And, uh, I can't wait till you guys see it.
Okay.
Oh Joe, his brother, uh, Janaro Pargo. He's the assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers.
Right. Okay. Yeah. Me and his brother, me and his older brother played college ball together
at the University of Arkansas. Okay. So that's how y'all know each other.
Yeah. Yeah. We're 20 years strong.
Been a while. Been a long old ride. Yeah, yeah, 20 years wrong. Yeah, then why feel all right?
Wow, so when a when a when a family when a
Guy in his gal or you know whomever goes and sit down and they watch this movie, you know Hey, they chillin need at the crib because it's all digital and streaming platforms
What I mean, uh, what just uh you said, I think you said best man.
I was thinking like, hell, you know, par goes,
maybe it's love and basketball.
You know what I'm saying?
I was thinking something like, so what can the fans expect?
It's a piece of all of it, man.
It's a hard story that comes from a real place, it's relatable.
I wrote it with the hopes of starting conversations
between men and women in terms of their relationships
and building better relationships going forward.
But every classic romantic comedy for our community
that you can think of is a piece of it in there.
Love, Jones. The Wood is my favorite movie.
Okay.
Oh, the Wood is classic?
That is my favorite movie.
So when I was writing, I made that their connecting point.
They both love The Wood and that's how they connected
and built their relationship going forward.
So man, anything you can think of that was a black romantic they're connecting point. They both love the wood and that's how they connected and built their relationship going forward.
So man, anything you can think of
that was a black romantic comedy growing up,
it was amazing.
Like no joke, yeah.
All right.
Go ahead, Ocho.
Please tell me I can watch this tonight
when the show is over or do we have to wait a little bit?
No, you ain't gotta wait at all.
You can put it on right now and have it running on your TV.
So you just- Hold on, hold on.
You can't see it cause his TV not centered. So you ain't gonna be able to all. You can put it on right now and have it running on your TV. So you You can't see it cuz it's his TV not centered
So you ain't gonna be able to see it cuz his hair blocking it now
I don't know how he got all the other stuff on the wall center and then he got it
He got it up truce on his damn wall. Well, I mean who and he got
He got a he got a 50-foot wall with a 12 inch TV. I got a TV in my bank seat of my car bigger than that
Look like you got the big back on the TV man with a 12 inch TV. I got a TV in my back seat of my car bigger than that. Hold on. That ain't about it.
I'll pay it.
Look like you got the big back on the TV, man.
You got the big back on the TV.
Well, you have to understand, this place here,
it's about me being a minimalist.
It's about everything is all white.
Everything is white, so I don't need nothing.
What they gotta do with that small ass TV?
Why would I? Because I want everything nothing. What's that got to do with that small ass TV? Why would I?
Because I want everything small.
That's the whole point.
Not in that big ass room.
You can still center it.
Yes.
It is not centered.
No, no.
Come on.
Oh no, because I can't sit.
The piano's over there.
So?
What you mean?
Hold on.
Are you watching TV in that room?
If you got a room with a piano, you don't need to be watching TV in the room.
You're not going to tell me how to do my decor.
This is exactly how I designed it to be. This is the man by the iPad on his wall.
Hey, hey, hey, Jade. The funny thing, he telling me about center of the TV my last name
wouldn't even spell correctly. What are you talking about? I mean I I changed my last name to a number.
You really think I care about my TV being centered?
Yeah, yeah.
Clearly, clearly not.
Clearly, you got an iPad mounted.
I mean, I guess you can just go over there and just plug it in.
But actually, actually, that's a 60-inch.
That is just that far away.
That is not no 60-inch TV.
How you gonna tell me?
I bought it.
I paid for it.
You mean six?
Drop to zero.
Six. Hey, um, I don't think you understand how far away that is. How you gonna tell me? I bought it! I paid for it! You mean six, drop to zero.
Six. Hey, um, I don't think you understand how far away that is. You know this-
I don't give a damn. I don't give a damn if I'm looking at it from the moon.
Hold on. Let me tell you something. You do understand, right? This is 15,000 square feet. So it would look-
That wall ain't 15,000 square feet.
I don't know.
No, I'm trying to explain to you,
because you don't understand how big
the establishment I'm in is.
I understand that.
But that ain't got nothing to do with that small ass TV
on that big ass wall that's not centered.
Hey, Chad, I think I can break down what Uncle Sam.
He's saying when you put the movie on the TV,
make sure you push the cows a lot closer.
No, no, no.
I don't sit on that. Boy, that's, no, no, I don't sit on that.
What else? That's white alpaca.
I don't sit on that.
That's alpaca.
I don't.
I'm the kitchen.
Well, why do you put a TV?
Why do you put a TV in the room that you don't see that?
Yeah, it just for a step from people when people wait.
No, no, people come here with my baby walk in.
Human kids walk in.
They don't go straight to your room.
Don't miss it.
Don't even come down here.
This is just the look.
Well, they can't watch TV,
can't but one person at a time watch TV on that.
Why you say that?
You losing, Chad.
That small ass TV, you losing.
Hey, it only cost me 5900.
There you go.
Man, that's cold, that's cold.
Munk, you ain't ever getting that money.
You ain't never getting that money.
Hey, I'm tracking it.
Hey, Joe, I'm going to have that white alpaca
with some mud on these teams.
No, I'm through.
Hey, you know, hey, this is custom-made,
all white alpaca.
I'm not.
Oh, Joe.
That TV is not centered, and that TV is not 60 inches.
Now, I don't give a damn what they got.
It could be chinchilla.
Listen, I don't want it centered because the piano is on the other side. Okay, I tell you what, if it's 60 inches, go back, I tell you what, go back there and do this with your hand and I
bet you cover the whole screen. What, my TV? Yeah. That's a 60 inch. I got that from
Walmart. Okay, go, I don't give a damn where you got it from. Go back there and do this with your head.
I guarantee you, you'll block the screen.
Hey Joe, he feeling the pressure in his eyes and got tightened up.
Damn. Oh yeah. That's my 60.
Yeah, that's good.
Chad, they-
What? God, Wayne watching it from outside?
He got a drive in.

Won't you just open the door and let the neighbors watch?
You saw how big that was?
You see what I'm talking about?

Yeah, I just told you how big the house is.
You're not listening.
So why don't you just open the door and just charge $5
and let your neighbors watch TV?
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
My neighbor, I don't even have neighbors, huh?
The next house is like two miles down.
What? I'm in a castle. What they gotta do with you having that TV centered?
I don't want it centered because the,
I wanted exactly how it is,
because the piano's on that side.
It's a stairwell.
You see the stair, you can't, you see the stairwell?
I can't, I can't center it.
It won't be quiet. Give me staircase, but yes.

So Jeremy again, thank you for stopping by. Congratulations on the film and good luck at the big three. Appreciate your time, fellas.
Peace.
No problem.
Yep.
Ocho, appreciate that, man.
That was, no, no problem, bro.
Cool, man.
The Nuggets announced that Russell Westbrook
had surgery to repair multiple ligament tears.
Nothing he has expect,
nothing he is expected to resume full off season activity
training this summer.
Russ gave his own update saying this morning I'm undergoing surgery on my
right hand to fix two breaks that happened during the season. I'm grateful
for everyone's support all year and I can't wait to be back out there a hundred
percent soon. The comeback is already in motion. Hashtag why not. Now knowing that
he had damaged ligaments in his hand,
does that change?
That was, you know, look,
we know the roller coaster Russ is gonna be on.
He gonna make some great plays,
he gonna give you hustle, he gonna rebound,
he gonna turn the ball over, he gonna miss some shots.
But does that change anything
about how we see Russ right now?
Now knowing that he had this damage in his,
two breaks in his right hand, his shooting hand?
Uh, maybe to some degree. To some degree. You know, it could have bothered his shot.
Yeah. Okay, Ocho, I was playing, I knocked the ligament loose in my right wrist. This was like
latter in my career. But it was in my right hand. And
as a shooter, now I think I'm more of a shooter than Russ, you know, it bothers you. And it
has second guessing. You know what I mean? It has you second guessing. So I can kind
of see it, but I'm just happy it ain't a lower extremity. Right. Due to his age, it ain't
a lower extremity. And I think he can ultimately, you know, get back to playing the game that he loved at a high level.
Yeah, because you gotta realize,
he shoots the ball right-handed,
but Russ is left-handed, Ocho.
What?
Yeah, he writes with his left hand.
Oh, does he?
He does everything with his left hand
except shoot a basketball.
Same thing with LeBron.
Yeah, I'm gonna say, I know LeBron like that. LeBron does everything with his left hand except shoot a basketball. Same thing with LeBron. Yeah, I was gonna say, I know LeBron like that.
LeBron does everything with his left hand
except shoot a basketball.
I think that's crazy.
Great, you start like that very early, right?
That nothing you, okay, okay.
Well, LeBron said, you know, being lefty,
not a whole lot of people was lefty.
Michael Jordan shot right-handed,
so he wanted to be like Mike.
But the only thing that LeBron does
with his right hand is shoot a basketball.
Everything else is done with his left hand.
That's how I know that wasn't the ball that he gave you
because that's a right-handed person
that wrote that on that ball.
LeBron is left-handed.
No, no, no.
LeBron gave me that ball.
It's just the view, which you sitting at home
looking at it from the camera angle, looking at me,
is just like you thought that TV was small.
You thought it was an iPad.
See, that's the difference.
So when I turn the ball to you,
it looks like it's written with someone with a right hand,
but it's really a left hand.
Less left-handed pimpingship, I'm telling you.
Hey, you gotta grab that.
You notice I haven't had the ball with me
in the last few episodes, right?
We talked about basketball.
Yeah, where is that?
Now I got it in glass in the casing.
Oh Joe, you gotta chill. You gotta stop it, bro.
What?
You gotta stop it. Okay
I got that ball in the glass cage though
That Joe says oh Joe you gotta stop it
I can't keep sitting over here hanging out with y'all and this man come on here line like this. I
Know more. I'm sorry. I can't take it no more. Oh, Joe, you gotta chill, man. Come on now.
We get company over here, you go to lying and all that.
Come on now.
Come on, man.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on now.
You got to cut it out.
You got to stop it.
Hey, look, you talking about jumping the broom and all
this and all that.
Come on.
Hold that.
I ain't playing by that, boy.
Hey, Joe, let me sit there. Boy, you. Hold that. I ain't playing by that, boy.
Hey.
Let me tell you, boy, you got me crying, Joe.
You got me crying, boy.
You gotta stop.
Hey.
I'm gonna jump that broom, boy.
You hear me?
If I don't jump the broom, the broom gonna jump me, one to the other.
Boy, you laughing.
Boy, I ain't playing by that, boy.
I'm seeing, I'm seeing, it ain't coincidence.
I'm seeing the, the,
what was the word? How do I see it? What you see, Ojo? All those
that jumped the broom, that finally, that found that, that found that foundation.
That found that person, that found that foundation. Yes, that's the ability in how everything else seems to flow and go correctly in life after that.
Oh, Joe, boy, I need some of that, Joe.
You say you want to be a part of some of that cool stuff.
Hey, Joe, I need some of that, Joe.
Hey, I tell you, boy, you got me over here crying.
You're saying?
Yeah, I go, hey, listen, man, I done had my run, but I done hung my jersey in the
rafters.
I done weighed a white flag, yo.
Oh, man.
I need some of that, bro.
And it's all right, because see, the one thing, you know there ain't nothing out here, man.
Go and jump that broom, man.
You ain't got to tell me twice.
Yeah, maybe Arthur follows suit.
You know, we'll see what's next.
Hey, he ain't gonna have no choice but to follow suit
if he want that money.
Yeah, I mean...

thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain, this is the struggle, this is
the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving
into it.

and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside
of us all. So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and climb your personal

I'm Michael Kasin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast
where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary.
We dive into the competitive world of streaming,
how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold,
connecting audiences with stories
that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there,
and if you can find a way to curate
and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience
is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing,
technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and
shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good
Company on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your
podcasts. Carmelo Anthony is slated to be inducted into the basketball hall of fame as a member of
the 2025 class later this year.
When Mello takes his place in the hall of fame, he wants Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson,
and Dwayne Wade to introduce him into the hall.
My life is impacted by more than one person.
I need three.
What you think, Joe?
Hey, look, I think, hey man, this will be probably
one of the most gratifying moments for him
to have those dudes induct him
because I think they all in the hall right? Absolutely. Yeah. I mean hey why
not? Those are some of his closest buddies, dudes he's you know kind of
rolled the wave with and you know he should be able to kind of hand pick you
know who he wants. I know he want MJ to come in there and induct him too so. Yeah
cuz you know he was a brand Jordan
and he's been with brand Jordan basically his whole career.
Like the face, the face of brand Jordan.
Yeah. Yep.
Yeah. He's probably one of the first guys to have his own signature shoe.
Yep. I know guys like Mike Bibby, Ray Allen was there when the brand first started,
but guys who came in and really had their own signature shoe.
I think Mello was the first one.
Right. Yeah.
I think Dwight Howard said he want three guys to walk him out too.
I know he said Shaq, I forget the other two, but I think Dwight Howard mentioned that.
As you look for that Ash, who Dwight Howard said he wanted to walk him out. Hey look, I'm happy for Dwight and Shaq too,
you know, for selling the differences, man,
and being grown men, man, we gotta put away
the childish ways and you know, throw up.
I mean, obviously, you know Dwight looked up to him,
he had to, and we all looked up to Shaq,
you know what I mean?
So I'm happy for those guys, man, getting inducted. This, you know, that's going to be a memorable moment.
Yeah. He said he wanted, uh, Dwight Howard said he wanted Shaq, Kareem, and KG.
Yeah.
That'd be a good one.
Yeah.
You know what?
Yeah.
He didn't kind of have few of what, you know, he had him and KG had, they looked
back and forth when we played, uh, you know, him and Shaq kind of, so, you know, So, you know, this is pretty cool to kind of have things come full circle.
Yep.
Those who you competed with, competed against.
And, you know, for them to induct them into the Hall of Fame,
I think that would be cool.
Yeah, that'd be awesome.
Yeah.
AJ Brown was crying going on a roller coaster for the first time in his life.
I would run a slant across the middle against Ray Lewis and Cam
Chancellor before I ride another roller coaster.
You're roller coaster guy Joe?
Hey, I'll be telling my lady when we be taking the kids to Disney World.
Hey look, them rides ain't made for nobody.
Six, eight, six.
Like I don't feel like I'd be strapped in tighter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And look, you go to see all these different stories
about these-
People falling out?
Hey, look, I'd be sitting right down there
at the finish line when they done.
I'd be here holding everybody bags.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For your, I'll get off.
I'm gonna be sitting right there at the bottom.
Hey, hey, I don't think AJ Brown really understands.
He said
Two of the hardest hitters that played he said Ray Lewis and Cam Chancer I guarantee you if you played in that era with that with the
Legion of boom and cam chance of coming down here long you or Ray court you on one of them slants
I think you won't choose that roller coaster instead
No, just like he wouldn't run that he didn't want to ride that roller coaster again,
he ain't gonna run and run that slam again.
Uh-uh.
And you know now, Ocho,
guys running one-step slam routes.
Yeah.
Oh no.
Mind you, you getting the head start,
you getting the head start,
gotta get in that full three-step slam.
Yeah, and it's, hey, and now, hey,
and see back then, Ocho,
it wasn't no defensive receiver.
Hey, you going ahead. It wasn't no blow wasn't no defensive receiver. Hey, you go ahead.
It wasn't no blow to the head.
Exactly.
Hey, I'm scared to go across that middle quite a bit, huh?
Yeah, hell yeah.
I live across that.
Because here's the thing, Ocho, you had to catch it.
Because if you didn't catch it, they
going to knock your life out.
If you did catch it, if you didn't catch it,
they're going to say you scared.
That's why you didn't catch it.
They're going to knock your life out either way.
So you might as well go ahead and catch it.
They gonna be standing over you talking crazy.
Oh, Joe, do you get the alligator arms when you come across that middle?
Oh, no, Joe. I'm jumping. I'm jumping.
I'm not jumping. I'm reaching for everything.
Joe, that's why I got knocked out, we folk.
Reaching for everything. I don't care.
Ray got it. Ray got it. Not this hell with all.
Yeah, Ray got me good.
Ball, hey, Joe, I could, the Shaq wouldn't have
been able to catch that ball, but here goes my
ignorant ass. I'm still
reaching for it anyway.
Boy, Ray caught me up under the chin
and I got upset at Ray. How you
hit me like that? Nigga, we just
prayed together before the game.
Yeah, I prayed I didn't kill you.
You were praying one prayer, I was praying
another prayer. Lord, please don't let me kill this. You were praying one prayer, I was praying another prayer.
Lord, please don't let me kill this man out here, because if he catches land...
So he caught me off guard. I would have put his hands on Ray Joe.
Hey, man, listen. Hey, boy. Oh, man.
I'm saying, you knew he was going to hit you?
Oh, I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming because in his drop and I knew I had to slam and based on the coverage
Based on the coverage. I can't remember now. Well now wasn't Fabian Washington. Was it Fabian Washington?
He saw for the up and once he saw him up and I knew the safety go back
I knew Ray had dropped a little bit. So I knew he was gonna be right there. Yeah. Yeah
Ray had the hook. Yep, bingo exactly. So I just
Slowed down right in the hole. I'm not gonna run through there.
I reached for it for no reason, knowing I couldn't get to it.
Here you go.
We got a clip, we got a snippet of AJ on the rollercoaster.
Watch this, Ocho and Joe.
See me again.
I'm scared.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

Dade County Youth Fair come here to Miami come here come here to Miami every March and I think it leaves in April. I
don't miss it. I don't I don't I don't miss it. Now what I don't like is they
got rid of the double loop was the big rollercoasters they had right in the
corner when you go over the bridge. It's been going for a minute but
outside everything outside of that I'm getting on everything. I used to ride the Batman the Superman the 10-story freefall. I used to ride on Universal Studios
Not very far I'm riding everything I'm putting I'm pushing kids out the way
Yeah
And the finish line and you know now they keep creed creating bigger ones. You know, I think they got a Millennium Force.
They got one in Ohio that's 300 feet high.
Get up to speeds of like 70, 80, 90 miles an hour.
I'm cool.
I'm cool.
I'm a watch.
I ain't gonna lie, I'm a watch.
I'm a beater, I'm a watch.
Have you, hey Joe, you ever rode roller coasters
before at all?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just uncomfortable, huh?
Yeah, man, I just feel so vulnerable.
I can't control nothing.
I ain't, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, you can't.
Nah.
I understand. You're absolutely right, Joe.
You can't control nothing.
Understandable.
But boy, they got that Six Flags,
I think, what was it, the Superman?
Yeah.
The Mummy, they got this thing called
the Mummy at the University.
Yeah.
3-0, yeah, that's a good one, yeah.
I got on that Ocho a couple years ago.
That was it?
Look, I told my kids, boy, y'all gonna be
at the finish line on the next one,
I'm gonna be waiting for y'all.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Yeah, I had been, like I said, okay,
cause the last time I was there, you like,
it's like hard for me to like click my,
to hear that thing click.
Like, you know, you got to hear that thing click, Ocho.
And you know, that thing ain't made for big people.
That's what I be trying to tell them, man.
Why they think I be playing?
They think I be trying to come up with all kinds of excuses.
Oh, you just scared, gave you a man, please. I
Understand
Yeah, I can't do it Joe
You know, I feel like the old I didn't get the scary I didn't get
mmm
What yeah, but uh, like I said, I'm
That's uh, that's me, I'm frozen for some reason.
Y'all can hear me, can you hear me, Ocho?
Yeah, we can hear you.
Hey, that's that dial-up wifi you're using in there.
Nah, we ain't got a dunk on Ong tonight,
so I ain't dial up that.
Oh, Ong, you done went out.
Oh, there you go.
I'm back now.
I'm back.
I'm back.
Yeah.
Back.
Jamar Chase, not really 100% on playing flag football in the 2028 Olympics.
I don't know.
I want to hear more information about it.
I want to know the timing for us off season, end of season.
I want to know if we're getting paid.
I want to know where we're traveling every week, every other day, every day, like all parts of it because we have an off season, we have a life. How long would it be? I don't know.
There's a lot of questions to it. I think it's pretty cool, but I'm not really 100% on it yet.
Yeah, I mean, I like it. I like it. And I like also out there, when a reporter's asking how he
felt about those that love and play the game of flag football professionally
and making sure they're incorporated in some way. He said, obviously he says he needs to do his
homework on it, but listen, Doucet, who obviously the quarterback who's very, very good and he
plays flag at the highest level, you know, he spoke out and said how he felt it wasn't fair that the
game they love is being taken over by NFL players.
Yeah, for sure.
Anyone is going to represent our country in a flag football format, it should be them.
So do said I'm sure you're gonna see this and I hope you all get get the due justice
that you guys deserve for the game that you guys love to play.
And it's not taken over by those that play NFL football.
They can they can come help contribute
and get a better understanding of the game.
But actually them just going from NFL football
with a certain set of rules
and thinking they're going to learn
and dominate the game of flag football
and just asinine to think.
Yeah, flag tough, man.
Hey, look, I know we are athletes
and y'all played the game of football
I know I played no other sport outside of basketball, but just as what about a year ago
We got a flag football team out here Hammond Park. Oh
Yeah, and guess what? It's co-ed
Man, we get nice thing rolled out here. You're me
man we getting our steam rolled out here you hear me I'm talking about listen I'm talking about the girls can throw catch I'm talking about they got all type of
little nuances in the game that if you ain't never played it we lost out there
you lost you hear me yeah yeah they game different now I thought for some NFL
guys I'm like oh man it probably be all right, but y'all say
No, wait. Yeah, it's hard. It's tough. Ain't no way. Hey Joe is too many is too is too many tricks
There's too many nuances. You're right
Lied they're going on the knee and oh they they can manipulate the game in ways that NFL players aren't used to I don't care
How fast and quick you are having those attributes, you know to apply to your game now
That's all nice and dandy in the NFA
but flag
man
Like he said, okay
How much time are they gonna have to devote because it's not like it's like oh, you know, like basketball but basketball, you know when the
When the pros came, you know came back in 92 when they went to Barcelona they had practice yeah so what are you gonna do you go have
these guys out there hey okay you want to play okay okay Lamar you could be the
quarterback hey Jetta Tyree you want to play now they're gonna have to
they're gonna have to go practice and like he said that's their offseason
yeah they ain't trying to get and And just like the guys in basketball,
they gotta give up a large part of their off season, Joe.
Yeah.
Because once it comes over with,
and then you got, you know, like in basketball,
they got the Worlds and they got all the USAs
and they got all this other stuff.
But it's gonna be different.
It ain't just, okay, you, hey, y'all just show up.
Right.
You don't have to put, so I understand what Chase is talking about.
Yeah. Yeah.
Chemistry and continuity, man, you can't cheat that.
Nope. Oh.
You can't cheat.
You think you can have the most talented guys
and just go out there and beat up on folks,
but man, listen, if y'all ain't on the same page,
you should rap.
Mm-hmm.
Especially when you don't know the rules
and you haven't been doing it for a very long time.
Yeah. I agree.
The Bears are reportedly looking for Caleb Williams to improve his body language and other finer nuances per Albert Breyer.
While the coaches understood the beating that he took, they showed Fem to emphasize how he'd been slow to pull himself off the ground.
Williams reportedly is eagerly to make these changes.
I agree.
Body language is everything on Joe. You know, you know how it is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, yeah.
It's listen, we talk about Chicago.
We talk about the Chicago bears.
We talk about the same team that had Jake Cutler who showed no
emotion the whole time.
I, I, I totally understand.
I totally understand them, but keep, keep your quarterback upright.
Keep your quarterback upright the best way you can.
He wouldn't have to be slow to get up off the ground
because he's tired of getting up from there.
He's tired, I understand him.
That's why he's getting up slow.
The faster you get up, the quicker you're gonna be back down now.
Well, I think you're just like, you know,
like the quarterbacks normally, they normally spring up because now you make it seem like it's the offensive line,
you know, you don't want to show anybody up.
So just, you know, just, just pop on back up like, Hey, yeah, we know, Hey,
we know you take, yeah, we know you get, and like you said, the coaches understood
the beating that he took.
Yeah.
But, Hey, I ain't finna show the defense.
Y'all ain't finna know.
Somebody might get a clean shot on me, Ocho,
but you ain't gonna know it.
If I can get up, I'm gonna get my ass up.
Now I have some stuff broken, I lay right there.
Y'all come on and get me.
I broke my collarbone, fractured my eye socket, Joe.
I lay right there.
But other than that, I done took some mean shots.
Don't remember a whole lot.
But that open the bone, yeah, the hair, he laid it out.
I was laid out for a minute too.
Man, that thing hurt.
It made it feel like the whole side of my face exploded.
Man, listen.
When I did mine, they took me to the back.
Man, I thought somebody was hitting me
in the back of my head with a hammer.
That thing was hurting so bad, it just was ringing.
You got a headache?
What, what?
I'm talking about, it wasn't going away, Ocho.
Damn.
I'm talking about ringing, ringing.
That thing hurt.
It definitely hurt.
The Falcons posted this picture today
before promptly, promptly deleting it.
We're out here.
Three, 28.
What's wrong with it? Why they delete it? promptly deleting it. We're out here. 3, 28.
What's wrong with it? Why they delete it?
Huh? Yeah, what we miss her?
28, 3. Patriots, Falcons. Oh man.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Oh man.
Oh, so they got, there's somebody, the jokes, the jokes went flying, huh?
Yup.
Okay, understandable, but that's the past,
that's the past, you have to lead it for that.
Man, look here, Atlanta ain't gonna ever forget that, Joe,
you better tell it.
Man, listen, Ochoa, it so happened,
I was playing for the Brooklyn Nets at the time,
but I was here in Atlanta, we was finna play the Haltz.
Right.
Couple days, so I had a little shindig at the crib.
My partner came over here, he had his wife and his son
decked out in Atlanta gear.
I'm talking about, boy, they going crazy at halftime.
You hear me? Throwing a whole...
Running to the bulls in my kitchen, going crazy.
You hear me?
Yeah.
Ocho, boy, when that leash started trickling down,
you should've seen that man.
Hey, he lost it. He lost. He couldn't believe it lost
Yo, there's already in the streets man, man
My homeboy Bennett's filming pictures they parted in the street with the Super Bowl coming to Atlanta. What'd I tell you?
Hey, I'm not even trying to be funny when the 28-3 on I honestly thought the game was over
I had jumped on the video game. I started playing FIFA
I honestly thought the game was over. I had jumped on the video game.
I started playing FIFA.
I'm just thinking about it.
And, you know, as playing the game, as long as I played it,
especially two teams that are as good as they are
to get to the Super Bowl, to be down 28-3,
there's really no way you can come back from that.
Run the ball, put the ball.
Run the ball, put the ball.
They made every mistake that would not run the football. How you up 28-3 and you have fewer rushes in the second half than the team that's down 28-3.
Matt Ryan know damn well he can't take a sack because they're in field goal range and he took a sack.
And the play that changed it is when Tevin Campbell got hurt,
they brought the backup back in, I forget his name,
and he whiffed, and Hightower,
they had the guy open for a touchdown,
and Matt Ryan was trying to throw it,
and in the process, Hightower hit him, he fumbled.
So that was the only she wrote.
That was the only she wrote?
Hold on, that fourth down, Kess from Edelman too,
that ain't number, that ain't number one.
It was almost picked off.
Yeah, that was number one.
Number one of the football guys.
But think about it, late in the ball game, the fourth quarter, I think it was like inside
of two minutes, Julio made that great toe touch.
Yeah.
You in field goal range.
Yes.
Slime.
Oh, that was beautiful.
You in field goal range.
Now just run the football.
Yeah.
Why would you, why would you why would
you and Matt Ryan had been playing long enough he knows he can't take a sack in
that situation oh Joe he can't you just can't hey look they built that beautiful
that beautiful stadium right after that thinking they was gonna get right back
to there and man it's hard to get back. Well, listen, man, you got to think about it.
Hold on.
They played us in 98.
So it was almost 20 years before they went back again.
All right, boy.
Hey, I think people have been spoiled by the Patriots
consistently going back over and over and over.
In Kansas City?
In Kansas City now recently.
It's hard, man.
It's a testament to how great 12 and 15 are.
Yep.
There's a reason they make, man, you get the point.
I don't need to get into that.

If I'm a Chargers fan, I'm not driving no two hours.
Well, it's only like 90 minutes.
That's if everything is perfect.
If the interstate opens up, it's 90 minutes. it's probably about four three and a half four hours man
Chargers ain't got no fan base like that they don't I'm being honest they
should have just read the money that they put to go into so fire so they could
be second class to the Rams they should have just put that money into that stadium and built that right there.
And the mascot.
What the Raiders?
And the Raiders used to have, I don't know if that's Raiders mascot.
It used to be the, uh, the black guy, the pirate guy with the shoulder pads.

The last segment of the evening is time for Q and A.
NoRoy75 said, we strive, we thrive,
no jive, paces in five.
Ha ha ha ha.
Uh, Quizzy said, cat and ant on different teams, I'm looking forward to the Knicks getting bounced. Summertime in NYC is already enough shenanigans.
Don't need to supersize the nonsense.
Damn, P. Dub, I thought you want them to go to the NBA Finals.
You know them.
If the Knicks was the winner, you know what New York, they're going to turn it around.
They're going to turn it around.
They're going to turn it around.
They're going to turn it around.
They're going to turn it around.
They're going to turn it around.
They're going to turn it around.
They're going to turn it around.
They're going to turn it around. They're going to turn it around. They're going to turn it around. They're going to turn it around. They're going to turn it around. Damn, P-Dub, I thought you want them to go to the NBA Finals.
You know them, if the Knicks was the winner, you know what New York, they're going to turn that thing upside down.
What?
I told you what happened. If the Knicks were to go, let's say go to the Finals, the statue literally going to start walking and switch hands. The torch going to switch hands.
Man, listen, they win that next game, it's going to be, yeah.
Man, listen, they win their next game, it's gonna be, yeah.
Milo said, the current NBA generation is so weak. Joe Johnson was a better player than Ant-Man, Brunson, and Halliburton.
If only teams built around their players then like they do now.
Boy, it's a different game now.
Okay, I'll tell you what your idiot is.
You know, when I came into the league, you had two traditional bigs.
Your four man was not shooting a three. No. Your four man was not shooting the three.
No, your five man was not shooting three.
Nope.
But you played inside out.
Yep.
Yeah.
That's how you play nowadays.
If you need a scoring point guard and that's who we're going to play through.
If you score a point guard or scoring two or scoring three,
they don't play through the bigs no more.
Nope. The bigs got to get it how they live. get that thing. Yeah, let go with it Yeah, the only big that they played through is our yolk. That's it
Him and MB. That's it. You be yep, but they probably only true
Centers that we have left in the game right and play with that back to the basket and face up
Yeah, because at the time, Joe,
there's only one guy that can shoot the ball
and the three, the big, that was Dirk.
Yeah, it was.
He was the only stretch.
Yeah, because you look at it, even Tim Duncan, KG,
none of them dudes was shooting three.
Hell no.
Problems, but they weren't shooting three,
but they was masters back to the basket.

Yeah
Okay, sir case said my guys to question I so Joe is Tim's on the hot seat after this season playoff run Oh and oh Joe wasn't earlier
Analysis on Josh Allen finally getting over the hump Josh Allen and Lamar finally getting over the hump this year
Joe you first.
Is Timbs on the hot seat?
I don't think he gonna be on the hot seat.
I don't think so either.
I think, you know, he's done a pretty good job
in getting them to where they at right now.
Maybe they need to add a little more depth to their bench.
Yep.
Because I think running these dudes in the ground
as they age, you get a little older. You know, man, it a couple years off you. Okay. Yeah, you know what I mean?
Yeah, and he played those guys heavy minutes during the regular season. Yeah, so it's gonna be I don't think look they knocked off the
Vending champs they did it in five games. Yeah, so I think that bought him another year. I do too
I think you're gonna be I right. They gotta get some help though.
They gotta get them boys some help off that bench.
Cause there's just too much pressure on Brunson and Cat
to perform at the level that they need to perform it
for them to be-
Every night.
Yeah, it's too hard.
It's too challenging.
Ocho, Josh Allen and Lamar getting over the hump this year?
Oh, man, listen, if anybody get over the hump,
it's gonna be my goddamn Bengals.
Now, if there's anybody else that's gonna be in the hunt
to actually get over the hump as well,
it would be Lamar and it'd be goddamn Josh Allen.
It's gonna come down to those three
on the back end of things too, you know?
Whoever plays mistake-free football,
whoever plays mistake-free football when it matters most,
they gonna get over it all.
Yep.
I'm just hoping it's us.
I'm hoping we only good.
