This episode of Night Camp is brought to you by Cola Guard, a non-invasive cola cancer screening
test. 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 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 colar
guard tests. The colar guard 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 a colonoscopy.
No liquid prep, no days off, no invasive procedures.
Plus, the coli guard test is affordable.
Most insured patients pay zero dollars, and a follow-up colonoscopy is needed after a
positive coli guard 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 colon cancer with the ColiGuard test.
You can also request a ColiGuard prescription today
at coliguard.com slash podcast.
The ColiGuard test is intended to screen adults
45 and older at average risk for colorectal cancer.
Do not use ColiGuard test if you have had adenomas,
have inflammatory bowel disease,
and certain hereditary syndromes, or personal or family history of colorectal cancer.
The coli guard test is not a replacement for colonoscopies.
High-risk patients, coli guard tests in adults 45 to 49, and estimated based on a large clinical
study of patients 50 and older, false positive and false negatives, can occur.
Coli guard is available by prescription only.
The magic continues.
Get ready for an all-new bonus episode of Patino Red Storm Rising, only on Vice TV.
Vice sports has followed coach Rick Patino in the St. John's men's basketball
monumental season as they won the Red Storm's first Big East regular season title in 40 years,
and are favored to win their first conference tournament championship since 2000.
The series captures the team's inner working and Patino's old-school coaching style as it takes a candid look at the highs and lows that marked Patino's storied career as he returned St.
John's to prominence in his New York City hometown.
Cameras follow Patino and the Red Storm on campus to alumni and booster events, press
conferences, private settings, in-game huddles, pre-game, halftime, and post-game locker rooms,
on road trips, in coaches' meetings, and NIL discussions, to name a few.
The High Stakes Bonus episode will offer viewers a review of the Red Storm's performance in
the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, leading up to the Final Four.
The Patino Red Storm Rising Finale airs Thursday, April 3rd at 10 p.m. Eastern, only on VICE
TV.
Go to vicetv.com to find your cable channel. Three years, contract worth up to 69 million. Diggs is 31 years of age, working his way back from a torn ACL.
But Mike Brable is all in on Diggs, saying,
yeah, just trying to make sure we're supporting Drake
and supporting the football team.
And again, this is a highly competitive company receiver
that's produced throughout his career
in multiple ways, play and style.
Yeah.
He's got to play strength to him,
and he sees that he can play physical
You know route craft good run out the catch and that's good in the red zone and there's a player a play style to him
That's always appreciated and that's what we want to continue to enhance and make sure that he's doing things to help us
Mm-hmm. I like you surprised that he got that length of deal that kind of deal coming up in a sale
no, absolutely not no because, I wasn't surprised because
They were in need of a playmaker of this magnitude even with Stefan Diggs coming off ACL
I understand. Rabel understands. Robert Kraft understands, and I tweeted it out
I'm not sure people in the chat can pull up a tweet that I said
right before he even got signed when he went on the visit I said something to the likes of one leg
two legs no legs at all make sure he leaves that building with the deal not
only I'm talking about the competitor that he is and ability for him to be
able to get open and manipulate defenses even if you done, even if he doesn't play on the outside,
even if he plays on the inside.
That's a target that Drake may needs
that he can be relying on during football season.
There's enough time from now with him rehabbing
because I've already seen some drills
with Stephon out there working already
and I'm seeing how far he's come so far.
I saw him squatting, but I was surprised.
I thought somebody would make a proven deal.
One year.
Oh, okay, okay.
You know what I'm saying, Ocho?
One year, $15 million with a chance to make 28, 25 million.
But who knows?
We haven't seen the intricacies of this deal.
It might be a one year deal, disguised as a three year deal
because we saw T Higgins' deal
and basically it's a one-year deal.
Okay.
Right, okay.
So, yeah.
I like it though.
I like it, especially-
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Veteran receiver, good to me.
To me, some people probably won't like it.
I think a good locker room presence,
especially for the receivers, for Drake,
may be able to converse and learn from digs
on some of the things when it comes to the route running
and processing information and understanding what he sees
and what he may see and how things, you know.
Yeah, back to the ATV, Rodney Rogers got paralyzed.
You remember Rodney Rogers, the Wake Fars,
great talented player Denver Nuggets?
He got, I think he was at Phoenix at the time,
but he ended up getting paralyzed on one.
He was a hell of a player, Ocho.
Rodney Rogers left-handed with the Wakefars.
He might've been player of the year in the ACC.
Look that up, Ash.
He was a hit, Ocho.
I'm talking about the junk, I mean, he was,
I'm talking about, he was built like a football player.
And Chad, y'all remember Rodney Rogers?
So he looked, he looked like Larry Johnson, basically.
Oh, he was thinking of Larry, he was, oh no, Ocho.
I'm talking about grandma, I'm talking about grandma.
He was like a taffle.
Even that big?
Yes, he was ACC player of the year, Ocho.
When the ACC, when the Carolinas,
and they were loaded back then.
He was.
Yeah, he was uh
There's another one guy, uh
Williams the boxer
He ended up be
Paul Williams
Hey Paul Paul talk Paul talk about Paul throw about two thousand punches around man
Paul enjoy the watch all he was shoot. He was. Paul was enjoying the watch. Paul, he was huge.
He was a big ass well-to-weight.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, skinny. Big, big, big, big.
Hey, yeah, I like smalls.
That's why I just wish, I wish,
guys like, yeah, yeah.
I just, just guys, just be careful.
That's all I'm saying, don't you?
Cause I don't want to see guys mess up their careers.
Look, have fun.
My mindset was just different. Once I got that money, I saying, don't you? Cause I don't want to see guys mess up their careers. Look, have fun. My mindset was just different.
Once I got that money, I said, you know what?
I'm gonna make this money as long as I can.
Now once my career is over,
cause your career gonna be over in the mid thirties anyway.
I can hop on a motorcycle, a dirt bike,
but I ain't finna mess no money up.
Right.
None.
I ain't finna give up.
Like you say, you ain't giving none of it back.
I ain't giving none of it back. Cause't giving none of it back cuz you know look basketball players baseball players. They don't matter what happened. That's money guaranteed
We got no guarantee money on Joe. Yeah
Hey
one so don't
760 million
750
guaranteed
Yeah, sure. Yeah. Shohei, guaranteed.
Mookie.
Yeah, but everybody don't want to live like that, huh, man?
Everybody's not going to have that mindset.
People want to be free.
People want to enjoy themselves without thinking of the negatives of what could happen or what
if this happens.
They just want to enjoy themselves, especially at this age, especially in this era we in now.
It's different, there's so many things to do,
so many things you can enjoy.
But listen, I totally agree with you, I understand,
but I'd rather them be safe and free,
or doing things confined in areas
that they shouldn't be doing.
Hey, well, if you feel that way,
like I say, bless their heart. That ain't me.
I don't, we good?
All right, oh Joe, we got a very special guest.
The director, Black Panther, the director of Creed.
He's a recipient of four NAACP Image Awards.
He's been nominated for two Academy Awards,
a Golden Globe and a Grammy.
He's the director, as I mentioned,
Black Panther and Creed.
He has a new movie that's coming out in April
called Sinner.
Sinner.
Here he is, Ryan Coogler.
Ryan, how you doing, bro?
I'm happy to be with y'all, bro.
I'm happy that you're with us.
Man, I'm feeling good, bro.
Like, big fans of y'all coming up.
I used to play football, not as well as y'all.
But big fans of y'all there.
And then watching y'all transition, man, it's been beautiful, bro.
It always warms my heart when I see athletes prolong that career. there and then and then watching y'all transition management has been beautiful bro like it is
It always warrants my heart when I see uh, when I see athletes prolong that career, you know i'm saying
Yes, sir. Yeah. Well, let me let me ask you this right? Okay, you want you like you play football
Did you have professional or collegiate aspirations?
Absolutely, bro. Yeah, absolutely. I used to play with more Sean
Okay, okay, okay beast mode. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we play with Marshawn. Okay, okay, okay, okay, Beast Moon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we from the same neighborhood. So, okay.
You know, I played against him in
Pop Warner High School and college.
I played at Sacramento State. So, also, bro, we both played for the same college, man. You remember Coach Steve Mushagin?
Hey, Coach Moose. Yeah, Coach Moos gave me my scholarship at Sacramento State. Oh yeah look at that, me scoring a touchdown on Davis right there.
On UC Davis.
Oh that's right.
You were wide receiver Ryan?
I was, I played slot.
I was.
Oh that's right!
I mean I'm not like y'all bro, but I paid for school, you know what I'm saying?
I paid for school. Right, right. what I'm saying? I pay for school.
You feel me?
Yeah, they are gold.
Yup.
And that's dope, man.
And Coach Moose is good, man.
Coach Moose.
So let me ask you this.
Okay, you go to college, you have a nice little college career.
When did you decide to say, you know what, film is going to be the direction that I go
in?
Yeah, bro.
That's a great question. So um, I
Got my first scholarship to a school called St. Mary's College
And it's known as a basketball school. We had we used to have a football team
And then they dropped the program after my freshman year. Okay, I played I played quite a bit that season Like I was returning I was returning kicks
You know, I was always playing I was playing receiver? I played a little bit of DB that year.
And so I got some more scholarship offers.
But while I was there,
there was a woman named Rosemary Graham
who taught a creative writing class.
And she read something I wrote.
And she was like,
hey, man, you should think about writing screenplays.
My girlfriend at the time, she's now my wife.
She bought me a little software
that I could write screenplays with.
I fell in love with it, man. So by the time I transitioned to Sacramento State
I was doing it on the side taking classes and shooting short films with my homies
You know and then I applied to film school
In 2007. It's crazy, bro, because we was in a I was doing real well going into my senior year
And I got an injury doing seven on seven where a walk on a cat was trying to
walk on a team was Aubrey Eager and he caught me on a pulse and broke my
zygomatic arch right here so it was it was I was eight weeks off where I
couldn't lift I couldn't do anything and during that time I realized like I
need to I need to put this application in for film school. Football is fleeting.
You know what I'm saying?
So I applied to USC film school and I got accepted.
I felt like I got accepted like in the middle of the season.
And right around that time, man, I started to find myself, my mind
wondering when I'll be on the field.
Thinking about something else.
I'm thinking about a movie I want to make.
I'm thinking about being on the set.
You know, that shit is dangerous when you're doing that.
It is.
Football, you got to be all in. And that was kind of what on set. You think that shit is dangerous when you're doing that. Football, you gotta be all in.
That was kind of what I knew.
You know what I mean?
That's dope, man.
I'm a movie head.
I enjoy films, I enjoy the arts and the crafts of it.
I enjoy getting lost in character.
I get very passionate when I talk about stuff like this.
So I watch the trailer for Sinners.
And to me, it seemed like a unique blend of supernatural action, mystery and psychological
theory.
How did you approach this genre and bending concept and what was it about this story that
made you want to tell it?
That's a beautiful question, man.
So I had an uncle who was from Mississippi, not from up here, but I had an uncle who was from Mississippi, you know, I'm from Auckland, but I had an uncle
who was from Mississippi and he was like the oldest member of my family, the oldest male member of
my family, you know what I'm saying? So whenever I kicked it with him, he want to listen to all
blues records and drink all type of whiskey, you know what I'm saying? And he passed away while
I was working on Creed in 2015 and I never really reckoned with his passing, you know what I'm
saying? I would put blues records on to think about him and that was how I got the idea for this man
Like you know coming off of coming off of Black Panther
It was a real long movie that was kind of for everyone we dealt with a lot of tragedies a lot of a lot of
misfortune and the COVID
Situation so for me I wanted to make something that was quick
But also something that was very much very unique very profound
You know I'm saying like like in and I wanted to to play in a in a genre rock and incorporate music
But I also wanted to make something. I was a little bit
I was a little scary man, you know black folks me like that, you know, I mean we like yeah
Yeah, yeah and talking at the screen. You know, I'm saying
Exactly, you know what I'm saying? I think it's something that... Oh! Something that... Get him, he ain't there! He ain't there, don't go in there!
Exactly.
You know, I think we have some incredible filmmakers that have capitalized on the medium,
you know what I'm saying?
I think of Jordan.
Jordan P.
Get out.
Yeah, yeah, but Spice, Spice done his thing in that genre, Nia da Costa's done her thing
in that genre.
Yeah.
You know, so I was fired up about it, bro.
And you know, truthfully, bro, it was was a chance for me being a product of the great
migration, you know what I'm saying, from being born and raised on the West Coast to
get back to the South and embrace that, you know what I'm saying, embrace that part of
my ancestry, you know what I mean?
Like, I had the most amazing time making this movie, bro.
Mm-hmm.
That's dope. How long, I'm just curious, how long did it take to make a movie in general?
I don't mean this one in specifically, but I'm just saying in general, what was the timetable like?
That's a great question. So this one we made relatively quickly, but they go from anywhere from two to four years.
What?
This movie was able to make make it one year. Yeah. Yeah, it's essentially bro
It's essentially like a imagine imagine a season season in the high football, you know, I mean
Because it takes you six months to shoot six months to a year to shoot it and then you have to edit it
It takes you another six months to a year to edit it, correct?
Yeah, man, and that's not including writing the script because I write the script too, right? Okay
Sometimes you got to shop the movie around, you know
Right, right. Um, you know
So I can tell you how long my movies are took. So this is my fifth movie that I wrote and directed
Prove it took
Station
Classic right. That's crazy. I said that man, but it took me it took me about a year to make that one
Okay, you know a Cree We shot that we start so Cree we are Cree was about a year to make that one. Okay. You know, Cree, we shot that.
So Cree was about a year and a half.
You know, like in a half of that year, we were just trying to convince Stallone that
it was worth doing, you know what I mean?
Rightfully so.
You know what I mean?
He wanted to make sure that we were serious about it and make sure it would work for him.
And then we shot in January, we put the film out in like November.
That was a fast one.
Black Panther took about two years.
Started working on it in 2016, put it out in 2018.
Black Beacon of Forever was like a four year movie.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I wrote one script, you know what I'm saying?
Chadwick passed away, I didn't even know he was sick.
So I had to rewrite that.
You know, we got going.
The pandemic slowed it down quite a bit.
And then, you know, my my lovely actress got injured.
So we had to shut down for a little bit.
You know what I mean? Right.
And we put that one also.
So I wanted to make something fast after that.
After that, you know, four years on one movie.
You feel me? Right.
But I was blessed, man, to be able to make something
that I'm so proud of, man, like super, you know, really proud of this.
I can't wait to show it to y'all.
I think y'all gonna dig it, man.
Listen, I know I'm gonna dig it.
When you watch the trailer, for me,
when it comes to anything that you do,
whether you're an athlete,
you have to be a special athlete
that puts butts in the seats.
When you're a comedian,
you have to be a comedian that has stage presence
to always keep the crowd engaged.
When I watch the trailer,
and it catches you, when it catches you right away, I don't know who did the ending, I
don't know who did the trailer, but I'm telling you right away it catches you.
And it keeps you and it holds you and then it's like it's an appetizer but it
ain't enough. It ain't enough because I want to see what's next. So now I
can't wait to see it and it and I'm very passionate and enthusiastic when it comes
to movies.
Bro, I've been a fan of yours for a long time.
All your work, everything you've done.
That's why I can't shut up right now.
I'm gonna tell you something crazy.
Yo, for real, bro.
I'm gonna tell you something crazy.
We met before, bro.
We met at the Tribeca Film Festival.
It was the first film festival I ever got into.
Spike did a movie called Kobe Doing Work.
And ESPN had the world premiere of it, bro.
And I saw you in there and I went over there and shook your hand, bro.
You know what I'm saying? Just on the stream.
You know, just being a fan of what you do on the football field, bro.
I was always doing it again, bro. You know what I'm saying?
Like, what y'all was doing, bro?
Over there at Cincinnati, man, when it was you and TJ and the Ho the game bro. You know what I'm saying? Like what y'all was doing bro over there at Cincinnati man
When it was you and TJ and the boys bro
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You know what I'm saying? Like just the precision of the route running bro, the confidence
You know what I'm saying? Both of y'all had that. Both of y'all had the mental game too bro
I remember Shannon bro when he used to be mic'd up
Act like a fool bro, you know what I'm saying?
Hey! Hey, I appreciate that I remember I remember Shannon, but when he used to be mic'd up
Study your movies a lot of your movie you got Michael B Jordan now Michael B Jordan in this role. He plays a dual role
He's stacking because I'm like, I'm alone
They look like this this look like Michael B Jordan playing both with evil for was like, hold on. That look like, does this look like Michael B. Jordan playing both of these both for? I said, come on now, hold on.
I had to rewind and look even closer.
I said, it is.
So what is it about Mike that you love
casting him in your movies?
If I'm not mistaken, he was in Fruitvale too.
He was in all of them.
He was in Fruitvale station.
Yeah.
He was in all of them.
Look bro, like what you'll find, it's chemistry, man.
You know what I'm saying?
It's a head coach and a quarterback,
it's a quarterback and a receiver, you know,
like you develop a shorthand where you save time,
you know what I'm saying, you establish a time
for the rest of the crew,
and we're not the first ones to do it, man.
Usually when you see filmmakers work,
they usually have like-
Spike and Denzel. Oh yeah, man. I mean, mean big time Spike and Denzel, Tony Scott and Denzel
you know Squared Sazzy had a thing with De Niro and then... Jacoprio. You read Kim to the Leo.
Exactly. Right. You know it's it's it's it's it's it's helpful man and Mike has a you
know Mike Mike has a has a very amazing work ethic.
You know what I'm saying?
Like he's always willing to go,
always trying to push himself.
He doesn't want to rest on his laurels.
You know, and I can rock with that, bro.
So, you know, I'll put him in every movie if I can.
He'll always have a role if I'm working,
you know what I mean?
And let me ask you this, right?
How did you come up with the name Sinners?
Why the name Sinners?
That's a great question, bro.
We found that late, man.
Like for a long time, the movie was just called Grilled Cheese.
It was a working title.
So if you pulled up in Louisiana this past summer
and said, hey, man, we're Grilled Cheese shooting that.
They would have brought you to our movie.
OK.
And the story behind that name was, I've been cooking these long,
these long, drawn out, crazy meals.
I wanted to make something quick and fast.
I knew it would take good. Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's how we came up with that.
But for Sinners, you know,
it was a collaboration between us and the studio,
trying to figure out the right name for the movie.
And we realized that that line, you know,
that word was said so many times throughout the street.
It deals with blues music and its relationship with the church.
Like a lot of times the best blues singers will come from gospel.
A lot of times, daddy was pastors, and they singing music about drinking and bumping and
grinding and it's a conflict like well how they was raised young young
Yeah, um so that so that dynamic was one that we were really that we were really young
You know once we realized like that like like it was like a man was always in there
It should always been called that you know
But this movie but the help
Trust no one because this movie has a lot to do with paranoia
Mm-hmm. Absolutely, bro.
I mean, look, it's dealing with black culture, you know what I'm saying?
And a lot of folks don't know that, like, I would argue that blues music is the most
important contribution that America has made to the global pop culture.
You know what I'm saying? Everything originated off the blues. Everything comes from that.
And when you do the research, it really came from this one specific area of Mississippi. You know
what I mean? Like, at that time when blues was created, it was a very hard place to be black.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And people were trying to affirm that humanity,
affirm that dignity at a time when it was very difficult and people were trying to keep them
separate, right? You know what I mean? And for me, that experience kind of breeds a level of
paranoia, you know what I mean? When you can't be out after dark in certain towns, where you know,
where everybody knows everybody, when somebody new shows up, you know what I'm saying, or somebody who's been gone a long time,
you know, it's a little bit, you know, you might look at them a certain way, you know.
I mean, how did y'all come up? Man, did y'all come from places where everybody knew everybody?
You can tell our outsider that y'all know that?
I'm from a small town. There were 3,500 people with two traffic lights.
Yeah.
So, we pretty much knew everybody.
Now, obviously there were people that would come back from New York or Chicago or Detroit
that I wasn't familiar with, but I knew their family and after a while they end up staying.
So we were cool with them also.
You said something very interesting because everybody talks about the Mississippi Delta,
the Delta Blues.
Yes, sir.
And this film deals with a lot of brotherhood, the Delta Blues. Yes, sir. And this film deals with a lot of brotherhood,
loyalty, fate.
Yes, sir.
Thanks, man.
You did a great job of working it
and putting all that together,
and it came together.
From the trailer for what I saw,
I haven't been to the movie since the pandemic.
I'm gonna go check this one out.
Oh, why don't you go check?
Because I'm interested to see
how you tie this thing all together. Now I saw the two minute trailer, but I want to see you tie this thing
together for 90 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm proud of it, man. And like, look, another reason
I think he going diggy, man, is your relationship with your brother Sterling, bro. You know what I'm
saying? Like whenever I hear y'all talk, I gotta imagine in y'all neighborhood, y'all was numb.
So these twins, you know, it's a... Stack and smoke.
Yeah, smoke and stack. It's an archetype, right?
Like I've been in and had a set of twins that everybody knew that was kind of notorious.
You know what I'm saying?
And we plan on that.
You know, that relationship between the brothers, man,
what makes them similar, what makes them different?
I think Mike just did a beautiful job with it, man.
I think you're really gonna enjoy it.
Anybody who got that type of relationship,
you know what I'm saying?
I got a big brother, I got a little brother,
you know, that'll really fill this movie,
I think, on a different level.
I like it.
I got one more question, man.
After creating something like this,
something that's so bold, so different,
and you're pushing boundaries with most of your work and your craft.
And again, I'm going to tell you, I'm a hard-boiled because I've never had a chance to actually
tell you.
Now I do.
I'm going to make sure I let you know I'm a huge fan of everything you've done.
And I'm really, I'm really, really excited for this.
But do you see yourself continue to push boundaries with more genre films?
Or just, I don't
want to be too nosy but what's next? We got another Creed coming if we do
got another Creed coming I want to shoot my shot real quick. I could be like the final boss.
Yeah we got another Creed coming for sure.
Oh let me know.
Mike's gonna direct that so yeah like you know absolutely bro like I think
we'd love to make something happen for you and the other the other piece for me
is like um you know I want to work a long time bro like I'm gonna I'm gonna
I'm gonna make all types of stuff man and I do love um working in the genre
space this is my first this is my first like movie with all-know horror elements
and Brock I tell you it's very addictive know what I'm saying? Like the idea of doing something
else that isn't this much fun, it kind of frightens me a little bit, man. But we'll
see, man. We'll put this out to the world and see how people respond and then we'll
go from there. But I'm definitely not closing the door on doing more genre work for sure.
It was just too much fun, I'll tell you for real.
Right, right.
It's Julie Stewart Banks.
I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts
and the National Hockey League.
And I'm paired up with one of my favorite players,
the always quotable Nate Thompson.
I wore nine NHL sweaters
and I have story after story to share.
And believe it or not, I have plenty to say and not just about hockey believe me
He does energy line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's gonna be well
It's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially line mates Nate. We're the energy line
We'll have plenty of folks join us current players some of my former teammates Hall of Famers
And wait to see some of the connections that Julie has.
She has quite the Rolodex.
Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey
and try to do what Energy Lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost.
How do you feel about all that, Nate?
I'm vibing, Julie.
I'm ready to roll.
Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns
in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring
the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god-damnedest love story
you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll
ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts. Say, all my Miss America, by the way. And we've got a new podcast, Quiet Please, with Mel.
And Kira.
We are bringing you spicy takes on sports and pop culture,
some golf haps, and interviews with incredible people
who have figured out how to make golf their superpower.
Or just people we like.
Plus tales from the road and everything in between.
By the way, golf isn't just for the dads, brads, and chads.
Yeah, it's actually life's cheat code,
and we're not gonna be quiet about it on or off the course.
We're bringing on some of our friends
like Michelle Wee, Heather McMahon, Amanda Ballyonis.
So if you want to keep up with us and here's your app,
tune into our new podcast.
Listen to Quiet Please with Mel and Kira,
an iHeart women's sports production in partnership
with Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment.
You can find us on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Presented by Capital One,
founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports.
I like it, I like it.
Yeah, but you know what, Ryan, when I look at it
and I think about like, you did Fruitvale,
you've done Creed, you've done a creed
You've done black panther now you in this genre. It's kind of like spike cuz spike has kind of been all over the place
He's done Malcolm X. He's done hurricane. He did devil in blue dress. He's been Harlem Blues. He's done inside man. He's done
I think man. Oh, I think he did man. Oh
Twenty-fifth hour. Yeah, so he did Man of... No, that was a really Scottie. He did Twenty-Fifth Hour?
Twenty-Fifth Hour, yes.
So he's kind of been...
Is that kind of the direction?
Like, look, I don't want y'all pigeonholed me in there and saying,
oh, he only does...
If this is a comedy, this is Ryan.
If it's something to do with Marvel or Black Panther, this gotta be Ryan.
You want to be, like, multifaceted.
You don't want to be tied down or pigeonholed or tight-calf
for any particular type of movie. Right. That's absolutely correct, man. Spike is a big hero of mine, man. A mentor.
You know, same with John Singleton, you know what I'm saying?
Yep.
Big hero, mentor. And then stepping outside of our community.
I love filmmakers like Steven Soderbergh, you know what I'm saying?
Where you never know what they're going to do next.
But you know it's going to be quality, you know what I'm saying? Where you never know what they're gonna do next,
but you know it's gonna be quality.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, and I do definitely wanna continue to push myself,
but also push the medium forward, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's a blessing to be able to work in a space
where you get to work on things that are fresh,
work on things that haven't been done before, you know?
For instance, with this film, you know, this is the first time that the IMAX camera has been
combined with a Ultra Panavision lens. So it's the same camera work, same camera package that
was used on Quentin Tarantino's film, The Hateful Eight. Oh, that was great.
Yeah, yeah. So if you combine that with the traditional IMAX film camera, first time ever,
you know what I'm saying? So getting a chance to break new ground and do that with, you know, with people of color on the screen
You know what I mean? And a story set in the Mississippi Delta.
But it's a great honor to be able to do something like that, you know what I mean?
And it helps me to be motivated, helps me to stay sharp, you know
I'm getting to work with people who I've been working with for a long time and it's just amazing
I don't want to be too presumptuous of this
But uh, I saw something and it seems like uh, I forget the two brothers, but it's two brothers. Oh, Joe
Uh, uh, and one of them might be cast. I want to throw my head in for T'Challa
You know, I'm gonna throw my head in. I'm just
Hold on. What you doing? Oh
Hey, hey, man, I'm gonna throw my head in Hey, man, get it in here. Hey, hey, we can talk about it, man, hold on. What you doing? Hold on. Hey, hey, man, I'm gonna throw my hand into me.
Hey, man, get it in there.
Hey, hey, man, we can talk about it, man.
Hey.
Oh, how you gonna take my steel?
Can I get my roll first, the creed?
Oh, okay.
Oh, you okay?
You wanna be one of the fighters, that creed fight?
Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, okay.
You gotta think, I got an extensive background in combat sports, so it would be perfect to be able to transition so I ain't really got to play no character
I could just be myself. Hey poppin that thing as oh, I feel yeah. Yeah all this hard
All this hard. Oh, oh, oh, yeah
I mean hey, they had it they had him already in the uniform. I'm like, okay. Yeah, he definitely could he could definitely pass for T'Challa
Yeah, he could he could yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No T'Challa. Yeah. He could. He could. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, all that big shots off the
audience, man. He's incredible. You know, he make watches too, bro. Does he? But straight up,
straight up knows how to make watches, bro. Wow. Like a genius, bro. You know what I'm saying?
Ryan, were you, as a kid, were you in the comics? Were you a superhero fan? Yeah big time
I had an older cousin, you know, I'm the oldest of three boys
So I don't have no big brothers always been looking for one
You know I had an older cousin who was um, who was seven years older than me who was a big
Yeah, and I got into him just cuz he I thought he was cool
You feel me saw right so I was when I started reading them, but I did I did always read him like um
I took a break from a little bit when I got serious about sports.
Right.
We used to watch the cartoons when I had you, but it was all school and ball.
I would say from like ninth grade maybe to my senior year of college.
When I went back to film school, I got back into them.
You know what I mean?
Do you collect them?
That's a great question, bro. Honestly, I do. I him, you know what I mean? Do you collect them? That's a great question, bro.
Honestly, I do, I do, man.

You know what it'm saying? And, you know, what an example, bro, for how to live, man. He got his family around him, his children.
Yeah, man.
He's been with Pauletta for 40 plus years.
John David used to train with me in Atlanta.
I had retired, but he was down at Morehouse, and the trainer that trained me, bringing
him to the track, you know,
tell him how to do certain things.
So I've known that family for 20,
that was in, I retired, so like 20 plus years.
So and Denzel is great.
His wife, Pauletta, John David,
man, they're unbelievable.
Unbelievable people.
R.C., I just seen Denzel.
I wasn't able to actually,
I was able to let him know I was
there, but he wasn't taking no visitors. It didn't matter who you were. I was able to
see him last week in New York. I went to see Othello.
Yeah. He don't play when he on Broadway, bro.
No, no, no. When he on Broadway, he in a different zone, bro.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
How was the play?
Oh man, beautiful. Beautiful. Listen, I took drama in high school, so that's why I still have a love for drama and the arts
and theater and dance.
So I really, I really need you to look at that.
Apology, excuse me.
Huh?
Come on, Unc, man, stop playing, right?
Man, listen, Unc, you already know, because you can hear me talk when I talk about certain
things. You already know it's something I really like now.
Yeah.
Hey, why you call bullshit when he said dance, Stone? I was when he got up in there on you, bruh.
Hold on. This is how you know I love dance too. Mind you, RC, I did-
The Riverdance.
I did ballet when I was playing.
Yeah.
I just left New Orleans last week. I went to see Alvin Ailey, man, for the umpteen times
since 1988 when my grandma took me to go see him
in 88 at the Gustonman Theater.
I love you, bro.
I love you, dad.
I love you, Charlie.
OK.
Why you always talking?
Come on, uh?
Hey.
Come on, uh?
Hey.
I want to go see him.
I'm going to see him. I haven't hey! Hey, hey, hey. I wanna go see him, I'm gonna see him.
I haven't been to a whole lot of Broadway.
I saw Samuel Jackson when he played Dr. King.
Okay.
I might not get there.
Yeah.
Broadway is different.
Yeah.
It is so different than going to the,
it's so different than going to an actual movie.
Yeah.
I don't know if it, you know what I'm saying,
I mean, you just went to a, but to sit there and to see I'm like damn this is amazing. Yeah
Yeah, it's no joke, bro. It's a true actors medium, you know, yes
Like like like whereas it whereas in film, you know, like like it's arguably a filmmakers medium
They'll say television is a writers medium like like like that is an actor's medium, but they got nothing to save them.
You know, they just they just they just up there.
You know what I mean? It's no you can't rule me in.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I guess it's just it's just a whole lot of people.
And that's what Denzel says.
Denzel says he's a he's a a a a theatrical actor that went to the screen.
Say he cut his teeth on Broadway.
And he takes that, he says some people are staged
and they come to Broadway,
I was Broadway that went to the screen.
It's interesting too, bro,
because like what a lot of people don't understand too,
is like the culture of Broadway.
Very similar to basketball, right?
If you, you know, like basketball is very culturally ingrained
in the United States, so much so that if you go professional,
if you go watch a professional basketball game
anywhere in the world,
most of the players is gonna be from the States.
You know what I'm saying?
If you go overseas to Italy and watch a game there
or overseas in Germany, you know what I'm saying? Like you'll see a lot
of players here. And with that stage work, you know, it is so culturally ingrained in the UK.
You know what I mean? Like it's a part of that culture. They are about the stage,
the way we are about basketball here. You know what I'm saying? It's in every school.
So you'll see these British actors
getting shipped all over the place, man. They ain't on every role, you know what I mean? They ain't on every, you know, white British actors, black British actors, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
For me coming up, bro, the first time I hit, I had a Broadway play and really,
and really seen it, really seen it, you seen somebody get down,
you know what I mean?
Yeah.
It was, it was, it was like, you know, like, I, I, I, I didn't
wish I had been exposed to it earlier, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
Cause I might, I might've been, I might've been doing that.
You know what I mean?
Right.
And well, Hey, even if I just get a cat meal, I could be, I
could be Umboku's brother.
Oh, he got you bro. Hey, if you're a weed man, hey, even if I just get a cat meal I could be I could be in both whose brother Role a
No, wait a man, yeah, yeah, I got you I got such great chemistry man when I'm when I when I watch y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y' Panther, Wakanda Forever, Creed,

Hey, hey, hey, hey, you ain't know I took ballet.
You know I took drama in high school.
Yeah, you full of drama now.
Hold on, hold on.
This is why I'm so into it is I needed to be eligible to play football.
So you know how you just be taking classes, you really ain't got no business taking?
So I took drama just to be eligible to play because I needed the credits.
I end up liking the damn class.
And now even to this day, still to this day, anytime Broadway plays, come to the Adrian R. Center down here in Miami,
I'm there. Listen, I haven't missed nothing from Chicago to Moulin Rouge to Wicked to Cats. I just seen it all. The Lion King. Oh man I love
that man. But I need to go see Denzel. You'll love it. I'm not
showing you in New York again. I might just go on my own. Yeah you gotta go.
You gonna love it. You gonna love it.
But it was great, man.
Ryan is unbelievable.
We communicated a little bit.
He's been wanting to come on.
He said, man, I just wanna come on.
He said, get me on something.
I come on club, shey shey.
I come on nightcap.
I just wanna chill.
He said, man, I love what you do.
I love you and Ocho, man.
Y'all, I love how you and him play off each other.
And so I was we go and I was glad we were able to get this and to make this make this work
I actually met the guy that plays from Boku in the hub and uh, uh
Like Panther I actually met him at the where I go get my nails or salon Republic, you know, you know in LA
I actually met him at the, at the, getting his car.
Took a picture with him and everything.
He a cool dude.
Ocho, 464 pounds, D tackle Desmond Watson
could be the largest draft pick in NFL history.
His weight comes with a massive six foot six inch frame.
Watson had his pro day workout.
He benched 225, 36 times.
That's more than any player mustered
at this year's combine.
And he ran the 40 in under six seconds, a five nine three.
And he had a 25 inch vertical.
Aaron Gibson, no, Aaron Gibson only weighed 405.
From Wisconsin, went to Detroit.
Hold on, hold on. Went to Detroit.
Hey, can you do me a favor real quick, Al?
Yes.
For me, because I can't see, I can't visually see him.
So I'm listening to the numbers you're giving me.
Is he bigger than Sam Adams?
Yeah.
Is he bigger than what Sam Adams was or bigger than Gilbert Brown?
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
He outweighed him down to about 100.
What? He's 464, Ocho.
Well, what you think Gilbert Brown was?
Like 365, 370 at his top.
Well, can he move?
He ran 593.
I mean, move in the position that he actually plays.
Hey, hey, think about it. He'll de-tackle. He ain't going from A gap to actually plays. Hey, hey think about it

push-push
So look here you got the guard you got the guard
said, look here, you got the guard, you got the guard in the center.
Who's the ass back?
Listen, Cincinnati, Cincinnati, we need help on defense.
And obviously we can start at the defense,
we can start right there on that defensive line.
Bring him on down there, clog that thing up.
If I'm not mistaken, I think at one point in time,
he was almost 500 pounds.
Did he lose like 40, 50 pounds there?
Desmond Watson.
I think I heard him talking about that he was like
almost 500, like really close to 500 at one point in time.
Oh, they go, hey listen, depending on where you go,
they gonna get that weight up off of him.
They gonna get some of it up off of him.
Hey, at some point, hey Ocho, I mean you might get him down you ain't getting him under 400. Yeah. I mean listen
Yeah, get him a look you put him on that zippy
That's all the way you gonna put it hey Oh zippy semi- semiglutide triseptide. That's
how a dog a and a 464 a now see they he can't he can't play in
the league if he tried his diet because I've seen somebody over
400 pounds and they got tried this diet and they was under 200
crack
And all boy hey he about 410
That pipe had it drawn up. He was under 200 by 175
Hey, man, you shut out
Be honest with you, Ocho. Oh, Zip it. But I hope one boy get an opportunity to play.
I think somebody go give him an opportunity.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Listen, when you turn up the game.
But you see, we cut the name, hey man, we don't, we cut the name on everything.
Hey man, he on that Zip it.
Hey, I just, listen, I love the numbers.
I hear the numbers.
It sounds, you know, staggering.
It sounds intimidating,
but I need to see what you look like
when you turn the film on.
Are you, are you destructive?
Yeah.
You know?
On your LSU officer tackle,
Will Campbell has something to say
about people scrutinizing.
They call it T-Rex.
Uh, for two years, nobody had any measurements on me and nobody
said anything about my play.
So now all of a sudden armlins decide if I'm a good player or not.
I think it's BS.
The Mark Draves have them going somewhere between a number 10 to the
Bears for number 11 to the 49ers.
Listen, I don't, don't listen to that stuff, and I hope he doesn't, young boy.
Don't worry, don't worry about that stuff.
Man, listen, they will nitpick at everything
and find issues with small hands, small shoulders,
I mean, small feet.
I mean, it really had nothing to do with the game
of football.
When you turn the film on,
what are you doing with those T-Rex arms of yours?
That's all that matters.
Ooh!
That's all that matters. Come on.
When you turn the film on, what are you doing?
He's good. He's going early. He's going to be off the board.
He's going to be a great player for somebody.
He's going to be a great player for somebody, man. You're gonna be a great player for somebody.
Ocho, check this out.
Granny said, F your little basketball game.
Ocho, watch this video.
What is that?
The game going.
Who is that walking across the court?
That's Granny.
Granny had to get to the other side. Granny said, I ain't walking around no corn, that's too far.
I'm walking right through.
Look at Granny!
Hey!

Hey, that's funny.
Hey, that was funny.
I ain't know what that was wrong across that screen.
That's granny.
It's Julie Stewart Banks.
I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart podcasts and the National
Hockey League and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players,
the always quotable Nate Thompson.
I wore nine NHL sweaters
and I have story after story to share.
And believe it or not, I have plenty to say
and not just about hockey.
Believe me, he does.
Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast
and it's gonna be, well, it's gonna be quite the ride.
We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the energy line. We'll have plenty of folks
join us, current players, some of my former teammates, Hall of Famers and wait
to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex.
Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests
away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do,
provide an emotional boost.
How do you feel about all that, Nate?
I'm vibing, Julie.
I'm ready to roll.
Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes,
host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots
and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover
in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious.
Somebody violated the FBI
and he wanted to bring the Catholic love to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors
and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the God-damnedest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call
I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.

This is a small seed.
If I get 1,000 online to give this, if I get $1,000 in the sanctuary to give this,
that's $40,000 tonight.
Now everyone up here, we've all sold and seeded, but I need everyone standing up here with
us, with me, to plant a seed of $100.
Because again, it costs to sit up here.
And this is what I need you to do.
If you're giving electronically, or even if you're giving electronically or even giving tangibly
I'm gonna have y'all come to the altar and give it because I need to see a thousand people
Bring them baskets bring I want the baskets up here. I want to see the folk
Y'all start moving y'all can bring it right now. Come come come come come a thousand people need to give $20 a thousand people need
To give $20 a thousand people people need to give $20.
A thousand people online need to give $20.
This is easy, saints.
Hey, well, that's always been the church.
That's always been the church.
But see, they used to choose fake oaths.
That's always been the church.
I grew up in a church.
You know, that offering plate that come around
about two, three times now.
They say, but the Lord said, give what you can.
He didn't put no number on it.
Oh, no, no, he didn't.
He said, when you tithe.
10% of your earnings, man.
Yes!
10% of your earnings.
Now, he will say, Melachai, I think it's
through Melachai 3, 8 through 11.
He said, when a man robbed God, he answers the question.
Because you already know what you're going to do.
He said, yeah, where would I rob you?
He said in tithes ain't an offering. Oh, he said bring your tithe to the storehouse and I'll open up the windows of heaven and
Pour you out of blessings that you will not be able to receive
That's what he said. Now he ain't tell me jack legs to be coming up here talking about hey, see what they preaching is prosperity
Yes, sir
Yes, see that Yes, sir.
See, that's why I'm gonna go into the ministry.
Come on, now you cooking.
Hey, hold your.
Yeah.
Hold your.
Yes, sir.
I'll pass the plate around,
I'll pass the collection plate.
Now look here.
Oh, I'm told.
Hey, don't put no change in the collection plate.
God don't like noise.
Yeah, God don't like noise. God don't like noise.
Yeah, dog. God don't like noise.
Hey, paper.
Listen.
I need to go into the back.
Uh huh. Listen. Listen.
Hey, you know, Marma said, now the church, the church, the church, the church, that's part of the building fund.
The church need new windows.
You ain't gonna tell me, you're church. You're not gonna tell me I'm a church. Hey, the church got bills.
The Pope Paul, oh, he need a rolling,
oh, he need a, he need a jet.
Oh, he need a Rolls Royce, he need a Bentley.
Yeah, yeah.
He ain't gonna have a better, he ain't gonna have a,
if I'm working harder, he ain't gonna have a better car than me.
Not that I'm donating to.
Yeah, hey, well, one thing you got to understand,
I've never been in the pulpit. I've never
been a preacher, but I do understand the work that come behind it. I do understand the studying and
the hours and all the stuff that they have to go through when it comes to running the church and
being a preacher. Now, I'm not going to sit up here and preach because that's not me. I am not
going to play with the Lord like that. But in the Bible, it says-
They play with the Lord.
Hold on. Listen to me now. In the Bible, it says, God loves a cheerful giver.
It doesn't tell you how much you got to give though.
That's my point.
That's it.
Now that's the only thing I don't agree with.
Now you ain't finna lock them goddamn doors and I got to get home and watch the basketball
game because it's March Madness.
Talk about something I got to give you a thousand dollars.
Now the devil is a lie. Now you're going to open them doors and I'm going to give you a thousand dollars. Now the devil is a lie. Now you gonna open them doors and I'm gonna give you what you can.
Now that's what's gonna happen.
Or we gonna have to tussle up here in this church.
Yeah, then God gonna have to come down there and pull me up off you.
He gonna have to come down up off his throne.
Because he's the Alpha and the Omega.
The Omega sits high and looks low.
So he know I'm gonna be tearing your tail up in your face.
He know I'm gonna be tearing your tail up in your face.
He know I'm gonna be tearing your tail up in your face.
He know I'm gonna be tearing your tail up in your face. He know I'm gonna be tearing your tail up in your face. He gonna have to come down above his throne because he's the Alpha and Omega. The Omega sits high and looks low
So he know I'm gonna be carrying your tail up in that church if you lock them doors and I can't get up out of there
But I'm saying come on now. Hey, they doing too much, Ocho.
They doing too much man.
They a trip. They a trip. They're true. And it's a new church. I didn't even know pastors was a job.
Because when I grew up, the pastor, he was the principal.
He was a janitor. He cut hair.
He wasn't no preacher full time.
That wasn't the only job he had.
I swear, I did not know that that was a full time job.
Maybe it's just me. Maybe that that was a full-time job. Yeah, it is.
Maybe it's just me, maybe that was just a southern thing.
But.
Yeah, amen.
My pastor was a teacher at the school,
or he was the principal, or he was the custodian.
He was the barber.
Yeah.
He did other things.
He just didn't preach.
Maybe that's just, I don't know, maybe that's just me.
Hey, but one thing you gotta think,
I'm not sure if Marvin's half has a mega church,
but I understand what goes into it and what entails
when it comes to the overhead
for a church of that magnitude
with a congregation of this magnitude.
Well, stop building a church that big.
Yeah, listen, I don't know, I ain't never been there.
I ain't never been there, but listen,
one thing I do, I love some preaching, boy.
I love some preaching.
You know, grandma had me in the church, you know, Sunday, Wednesday, Bible study.
I led the choir.
You know, I was in the junior choir.
I was a junior deacon.
I did a little bit of everything.
I don't need to see where they said that in the Bible, where the preacher would preach
it.
And they locked the doors.
Now, if they say that in the Bible.
No, it's not in there. That's not in there. You know, they rewrite their own story now.
Yeah.
You know, we good for that.
Well, see, I just told you. It used to be salvation was free.
Uh-huh.
But ministers have found a way to charge for salvation.
Who? Salvation was free.
But that's a good one everywhere.
Man, they need to stop. Look.
That's a good one there.
And it's not the fact that it's $20.
It's the fact that he's put a number on it.
You don't tell somebody what they should give.
That's between them and their God.
Yes, sir.
Not between the preacher trying to get money
out your pocket.
Yeah, especially during these times.
I give, I ain't got no problem giving,
but he ain't gonna tell me how much to give.
That ain't got nothing to do with him.
That's between me.
Hey, I'm gonna have to answer.
No matter what you think of Shannon Sharp,
Shannon's gonna have to answer for Shannon.
Yeah.
You can say one soul, your own.
You trying to tell me what I need to do.
I will have to give an account for this.
I will have to go before that man.
And everything, he gonna say, you remember this?
You gonna remember that?
Man, they need to...
They put the man, I don't be like that, don't you?
I don't, I don't be like that, don't you?
I don't. I don't.
Listen, I'm with you when you're right.
I'm with you when you're right.
Now, I'm not getting too upset about it
because I've come from the Baptist Church.
You know?
I've been there. I know what it's like.
From a little one until I was a senior.
Look, I remember sitting on them benches. We had wooden benches. You slide too much,
you might get a splint in your butt. We didn't have no cushion. We didn't have no cushiony feet. It leaked.
I mean they revamped it, but it was a church and you felt the Lord come in.
They're not in a got all these fans and saying Lord line coming by here
Yeah, yeah
Y'all y'all play it in my name
now hey
Y'all have a business
Mm-hmm. Hey, there was some good days on now you now you got I mean just you mentioned that video
Just bring back memories at church with grandma and over town you know about over town right in my mouth
Monolivet Baptist Church I'd never forget Reverend Clark then as I got as I
got my first pass of the day was Reverend Clark. For real? Yeah. Now as I
as I got a little older you know Miami Northwestern where Teddy Bridgewater
just won the national championship yeah I started walking from my grandma house
on 44th 11 I started walking to New Birth,
because New Birth, they was at Miami Northwest
and having church there.
And I started going to see the Honorable Victor T. Curry,
Victor T. Curry, and became a part of that church.
And now they over there at Open Lock Off 135th,
everybody that's a part of New Birth,
I know you might see this, Victor T. Curry,
I hope everything is good.
I know I ain't been to church in a while.
I ain't got no suits, but I love you and I'm doing right.
Ocho, but they've been preaching prosperity
for the longest time.
You remember the televangelists, see Reverend Ike,
and they had Jimmy Swagger, and they had a-
Oh, Jimmy, what you know about Jimmy?
Yeah, hey, yeah, oh, and Jimmy Swagger,
I've been talking about Father, I've seen.
You know, I've seen, hey, but I'm saying,
y'all remember Rex Humbart?
It was Jimmy Swagger, Rex Humbart.
Reverend Ike was the first one,
because Reverend Ike was having you put $5
and send it in for the prayer cloth.
I don't know if y'all remember that,
but I've been in it before y'all time chat,
but I'm old enough to remember.
That's one thing about being old.
And once you get to a certain age, you realize that's your only purpose left to do,
is to get old.
Man, they better stop playing with me.
Hey.
Hey.
Man.
Hey.
Hey, that was classic.
Goddamn, Jimmy Swagger.
Boy, I remember Jimmy. Yeah, boy, I remember Jimmy.
Yeah.
Bad, I say bad, look here.
Bad, like I said, I give.
The Lord knows you blessed me,
and I don't have no problem.
Uh-uh, at all.
And not only do I give to the church,
if people in need.
Yeah, that's me.
Hey, I was helping people in the wildfires
that happened in California.
Yes, sir.
Shannon, hey, you know, me and my mom, my mom ain't got nowhere to go, Shannon.
Right.
I get your, I get your place for a couple of months.
It is.
Hey, I never, that's the way my, that's the way my grandma would give people her last
You know we go we gonna be okay we got some rutabagas and you know, we can make some crack limit
No, let them play rutabagas. They try give them what we go eat
And then we could go to the supermarket
and we get some hot dogs.
But that ain't how Mary Porter was.
She say, son, one day, God bless you.
Yeah, hey listen.
She really truly believed in that.
Right, hold on.
I believe in that and always have. You know? You remember
when I used to do the tipping, do the tipping all the time and I would put
proverbs, sir, the generous person will always, I stopped doing it because I
kind of got in trouble because people seeing me do that and give the others so
they complaining, well why you not sending more to me if you got extra to
give the strangers? So I just stopped doing it all together. You know, so anyway, but
That's the same thing, Ocho. When we gave to Southern, why did you say, bro, bro, come on, man?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about A&T? What about this?
Yeah, yeah, so it's
First and foremost, Savannah State gets my undivided attention. They first on the list. What about this? What about my throne? Yeah. Yeah. So is, is I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I I'm here sitting in this seat because a lot of people at Savannah State Haynes Walton Norman Elmore

I enjoy the night but tonight was a good I was a boo
How's it go? I enjoyed the night, but tonight was a good one. That was a good one. That was a good one.
Uh, Ragnar Kals, four set.
Oh, you gotta blame JJ for that.
JJ wasn't on the court.
JJ didn't tell LeBron to gamble.
JJ didn't tell LeBron to turn the ball over.
They had a five point lead with 12 seconds.
They had a five point lead with 12 seconds. They had a two point lead. They ended up, they ended up being down by one with six seconds.
They had a lead with three seconds and the team didn't have a timeout.
That ain't on JJ bro.
Yeah.
LeBron James, Bonnie James, Bryce James, Bulls and Fives. Yeah.
Oh, great air was LeBron should focus on winning games
instead of picking fights with reporters.
He's hurting the team right now.
He's hurting his team right now.
Well, obviously it wasn't a good look.
I look, like I said, we don't need to get into it.
There was more discussion, Stephen had more to say.
I don't care to add anything.
I don't have anything to add to it.
But I think hopefully both of them decide
to leave this alone and move forward.
LeBron needs to focus on these last nine games
and trying to get the best seed he possibly can
for the Lakers.
Don't worry about what Stephen A said.
Stephen A gonna talk.
That's Stephen A's job.
But hey, now let's focus on what we need to focus on. Derrick need to focus on Derek Johnson hey are you going to first take tomorrow to defend the

Luke away.
Lakers in five.
Tone SG say, what's the Steelers ceiling
if they signed Rodgers?
Ocho, what's the ceiling?
I mean, listen, I don't know what their ceiling is.
I have no idea.
I know what Rodgers can do.
I know what he did in the past.
I know what we saw from Matt Adjess.
I'm not sure what Rodgers are we going to get. I I'll be gonna get the Aaron Rodgers that's bought in.
I'll be gonna get the Aaron Rodgers that shows up the minicamp.
Or we gonna get the Aaron Rodgers that goes on a dark retreat. It all depends on what Aaron Rodgers you get.
True.
Are you bought in?
Are you actually bought in? You ain't got the leverage you used to have before now.
Hey, it's a different ball game.
They only go as far as he goes.
Go ahead, what are you gonna say?
I was gonna say, they only go as far,
every team is only going as far as the quarterback goes.
You only going as far as your quarterback is invested
in how seriously you're gonna take his craft and job.
It's Julie Stewart Banks.
I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League.
And I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson.
I wore nine NHL sweaters and I have story after story to share.
And believe it or not, I have plenty to say and not just about hockey.
Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and
it's gonna be well it's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially line mates
Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players,
some of my former teammates, Hall of Famers and wait to see some of the
connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex.
Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey
and try to do what Energy Lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost.
How do you feel about all that, Nate?
I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll.
Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests
trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI
and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the God-damnedest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call
I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.

Hey man, hey Jess. Jess hit it out the park for us man. She was unbelievable.
Yeah. She's unbelievable. And I'm just trying to figure out people talking about ain't nobody
watch Amber Rose. They realize Amber Rose did on YouTube did about 4 million views
Andrew shows did about did about 4 million views for nobody to watch him
Yeah, how many people to sit down and have conversation with people on YouTube do 4 million views?
You can't listen to people man. I don't I don't listen
I don't like this person
Oh, you got to come on. You got to come in here comments to say you ain't gonna watch this video
But you in the comments
You know what don't you and one more thing I want two words to be retired in 25, what's that?
diabolical and messy
What's that? Diabolical and messy
Messy?
Messy.
Cause every time Shannon going to the store, man, you know Shannon so messy
Man, Ocho was talking about that boy, that's Shannon so messy. And that's diabolical
Okay, enough
Yeah, listen, the only messy dog, listen, the only messy I recognize is Maya
Diabolical? I ain't never really heard that.
Man, that's all, hey, man, man, Ocho talking about, talking totally diabolical.
Bro.
I'm like, I'm like, hold on.
Anytime.
There have been so many people that have the guests that I've had on and ask them the very
same questions that I asked.
Everything is fine.
Nothing.
The minute you ask is a problem?
I'm messy.
Oh man.
And pause.
Why we pause?
Bro, we used to, hey, Ocho, you remember we used. Why we pause, bro?
Hey, Ocho, you remember we used to be able to talk, Ocho, because you know we talking,
we talking, we talking.
Right.
Man, I act.
I was like, man, I just don't get it.
But Doc, I thank you very much.
It's the look.
And all the people that's pausing
and diabolical and messy,
y'all ain't really supporting Ocho and I anyway.
Y'all just coming and hoping somebody tag along.
Y'all want somebody,
cause there are a lot of followers on social media, Ocho.
Yeah, yeah.
There are a lot of followers.
I think Jess was unbelievable.
Amber was great. Young Miami was unbelievable. Amber was great.
Young Miami was great.
Andrew Shultz, I like having different people.
If all I had was football players,
if all I had was comedians,
if all I had was any one group of things,
how do you grow?
How do you expand the platform?
I'm confused. Y'all do realize we're trying to expand. Right.
When you go back and look at talk shows that used to be in there not to be made
it now, but when you go back and look at Phil Donahue and you look at Oprah, you
look at Ricky Lake and you look at Jenny Jones and you look at all those. They
had different people all the time. Yep. You have to have that.
That's how you grow.
That's how you expand.
Yeah.
But I think you all can watch.
Different background, they different backgrounds,
different ethnicities. Yes!
You gotta have that.
Hey, in Young Miami,
hey, man, uh, man, uh, bro,
I ain't never asked for nobody, I ain't got nobody.
No, we just, we have a great time
I go with how they go a young Miami was flowing we gonna flow
Amber Rose Floyd, we gonna flow cash. We gonna flow we gonna flow
Certain people they want to keep it strictly. We gonna keep it that
Right, but I think the whole thing is to make people feel comfortable when they come on that they're having a conversation that they open up. That's it. That's all I'm trying to do. I ain't
trying to, hey, hey, man, I'm shooting this shot. No, I can't shoot no shot. Come on
now. I mean, come on. How that's gonna look? I'm bringing somebody on there to try to
shoot a shot. Right. Hell, I'm just leading the DM and not even about
brought them on. That's what, but people think like that's what y'all would do see y'all would be in pretty soon
You wouldn't have a talk. You wouldn't have a conversation. You would have a pod
The one thing I won't do it's more important told me this when I very young age
He said boy don't ever put your dick in your wallet
And when I told people that people like what that mean I say you'll figure it out don't worry about it
I'm gonna write that down right now
Ugly chassis, okay, no joke is my wife's birthday today
Can you guys please give Casey a shout out even though we're beefing I still love her. Thanks guys
Hey, happy birthday, Casey. Put that aside D chat
Just put it back. Hey, like Luther Vandross. You just say if only for one night is your birthday
Hey y'all go back to be like Tommy Jerry. Hey y'all the beef tomorrow, but tonight put all that aside
And do right by your man
And do right by your man. That's all you got to do.
Just give it, just, it's good.
I mean, come on now.
It can't be that bad.
Retired Deputy Chef said, what's the one thing you wish you knew about love in your
twenties that you understand now?
What's more important, partner loyalty peace and passion peace
Loyalty because if she gives me Lord to I'll be at peace
Man peace I ain't trying to hear that. Oh you want me
Man peace and somebody beat it and somebody beat your walls down while you would peace.. Okay. Man, she not even with me.
That's why I got there in peace.
So I don't care who beat them down.
Shit, you ain't mad.
That's your responsibility now.
I ain't talking about your situation.
Oh no, I'm talking about mine.
I'm just saying, I'm saying in general, you said peace.
That's the peace.
Since when do you have peace
if you have someone in your space?
You don't have a peace?
You can have what you're supposed to have, Ocho.
We never get it.
Well, that don't mean you stop looking.
That don't mean you start searching.
Well, I'm good.
Oh, I'm good now.
I got peace now.
Sir K said, my guys, two questions.
Ocho, I know it's early,
but what are your early predictions
of who will win FIFA World Cup 2026?
Can the US win it?
Sterling versus Ocho, who is the X, who is the Z?
My brother played the Z.
Ocho was an X.
My brother played the Z.
Jared, my brother played the Z.
They played the Z position.
Who you got, Ocho World Cup, 2026?
Woo!
That would be a good one, boy.
I mean,
I mean, I would love USA,
I would love USA to get a little further than normal.
I'm excited to see what they're able to do.
But it's gonna be very, very difficult,
very difficult for us looking at some of the
qualifying games they played so far,
not dominating against inferior opponents.
And I mean, no disrespect,
but how are we gonna compete with the Argentinas
and the Brazils and the, and the Francis and I just, I don't know. So as far as a favorite now,
Argentina is probably a favorite to win yet again, along with some other squads. So
I don't know, France maybe.
To go back to the question he said, what do I wish I knew?
I knew what I needed to know.
But I was so driven.
I didn't think I could do two things.
I didn't think I could, Ocho.
Because the one woman that I knew loved me unconditionally was Mary Porter.
No matter what I did, no matter what I did, she say, baby, you were wrong, but I love you.
She didn't love me on the conditions that I didn't cheat.
She didn't love me on the condition that I didn't hurt her.
She didn't love me on the conditions that I was in a bad mood and I didn't want to talk.
She loved me unconditionally.
Come on, man.
And so for me, I was searching for that and I
realized that I was never gonna achieve that. And there were conditions on which my
partner was going to love me. Always. So it made it very very easy for me to stay
focused on what I needed to focus on. Mm-hmm. I'm not here to apologize for that, Ocho.
Yeah, remember what I always told you?
That all comes down to also being able to manage your expectations with understanding
that everything comes with conditions.
Well, everybody, it's easy for everybody to be loyal when it's convenient and beneficial.
Yes.
Well, hell, of course.
Yeah, somebody, hold on.
It's convenient and it's beneficial.
Vulture says, low bar, yeah.
Everybody gonna love somebody that's making millions.
It's easy to love somebody that's making millions.
Because you know what the man told?
Not the old man, it was a man and his wife.
And she said, Shannon, it's just as easy to love a rich man
as it is a broke one.
Come on, man.
Come on.
Don't let that go over your head. Come on now. So all this
all this y'all talking or cheating this and that, it just get either for you to
love me or pretend that you love me for the situation that I can lift you up out
of. Listen I'm gonna act like I'm in the church. I'm gonna go ahead and
I'm gonna go ahead and exit stage left.
Well, y'all just...
Hey, what are you offering to play that?
Because I see your 5200 right now because you preaching.
You heard me.
I will see your 5200 right now.
I am going to find me someone.
Come on now.
Oh, you done got old now. You don't got old
Yeah, I got old and I got my money
I'd have been young and then back with the wrong one. I'd have been old with no money
It ain't got nobody to take care of me now at least I can pay somebody to come take care of me
Do you think I can't do for myself?
It is
It is. It is.
Well, you were cutting up into the show tonight.
That was number of the word.
That was number of the word.
Oh man.
My former teammate, Rodney Spivey, Rodney Arnold,
Rodney Irvin Arnold.
How he changed his name?
1967, he from Myrtle Beach.
Man, we got the Savannah State together, Ocho,
the guy that's, and as a matter of fact,
he was so, he came to Minnesota, my first, this was in 1991, he came and saw me play in Minnesota.
Yeah.
I think if I'm not mistaken, I think his wife might've been from Minnesota, but he
had a, I remember he came, he had a red, I rock Z.
Uh huh. I remember that.
Remember the I rock.
I do, five percent.
Hold on, T-top, you had T-top or Red?
Yes, red, I'm talking about candy, candy red.
Yeah.
Yeah, I had a T-top.
Had the I rock on the side,
but I wanna send my thoughts and prayers out to his family.
Rest in peace, Fivy, and to all the family, friends,
and loved ones that's been impacted by this sad passing
of my former teammate and friend, Rodney.
Rest in peace, bro.
