We got the guy in the chat. What it do miss? Man, we're unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:04:47 No, thank you for coming on. We understand that you're very, very busy. So talk to us tonight. You get ready to hype up. They got a big event that's happening in 25. WrestleMania is going to be bigger because they seem to get bigger and bigger and better and better every single year. So talk to us about it.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Yeah, WrestleMania 41 tickets are on sale tomorrow for April 19th and 20th. Legion stadium, Las Vegas. We're taking it over. Not only does WWE go to Las Vegas for just WrestleMania, it's literally smack down on Friday and then Saturday is WrestleMania, Sunday's WrestleMania two nights. And then Monday's raw. Not only do we have that, we have NXT standing delivered WWE hall of fame, WWE world, which is very interactive. The super bowl was in Las Vegas last year. We saw that platform and what it did and what kind of party that scene knows how to do. And WrestleMania said, you know what? Super bowl can do it. We can do it twice.
Starting point is 00:05:46 So it's going to be something special. It's going to be something to remember and you're not going to want to miss it. Yeah. Most definitely. Miss you and I, we had our little interaction, you know, little quarrel a few years ago, but the miss character has always been large in life. Everything you do, the way you carry yourself your aura your energy has always been large in life how much of that is real and how much of it is in is is performance a Lot of its performance to be honest, like my kids don't look at me and go, you know Actually, you know was weird. Yeah, my my daughter unfortunately broke her ankle and she had me like sign her cast
Starting point is 00:06:23 And I was like, what do you want me to sign it? Do you want me to sign it? Daddy or Mike? And she was like, the mid my daughter, like my daughter doesn't really watch, right? She's, she's six. You know what I mean? So she doesn't, she understands the lights. I'll let her watch the entrances or if I actually win, cause she only likes it if I win. Right. So it's, it's interesting to see them start to get into it. And then my other daughter was like, uh, I saw my action figures and she like wanted them and I was like, Oh, she doesn't want Barbies. She wants daddy action figures. And I was like, this is amazing. So my daughter was wrestling myself with two action figures. It was pretty incredible. So at home, I would say that, uh, my wife, my daughters don't really, uh, look at me as the Ms. But
Starting point is 00:07:09 once I get out there, once I hear my entrance music, you guys know how it is. When you're on the football field, it's the same way you turn it on. You're 100%. You're locked in, you're loaded. You're focused on what the job is at hand. And my job in the middle of the ring is to entertain an audience, to make sure an audience has a moment that will stand the test of time, that they will remember for the rest of their life, that 20 years from right now when they're watching that moment that they go with their maybe their mom or their dad or whoever, they're going, remember that time we had that moment where the Miz locked eyes with me and he started yelling at me out in the crowd
Starting point is 00:07:45 And I started yelling him back remember that yeah Like that's those are the little things that you can do to make sure that people have the moment that they should I feel like They should deserve that how special is it what like when you guys were on the football field? Don't you think you turned on like a character? Yeah, like almost like yeah There's something more to it than just you know, Chad He was also me as how speculate for your kid your daughter's to be old enough To know what you do and they kind of appreciate it because your daughter says I don't want you to side of his daddy I don't want you to side is Mike
Starting point is 00:08:19 I want you to sign it as the miss and your other older She your older the daughter order the other one that like to pick the action figures She's no she's not younger. She's a year younger. So they're five and six But but to see and to know what daddy does that has to have a special place in your heart Because your kids are old enough to know what you do It does it when whenever like my song will come on Like say if we're in the car and then I'll shuffle and my song comes on, she goes, daddy's song.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I'm like, yeah, that's my entrance music. Yeah, it's mine. It is. There's something about like your daughter's, I don't know, not necessarily like, I guess, looking up to you and you're their role model, right? You're the person that they look at as a man and how you treat my wife, how I treat other people, they're gonna emulate that.
Starting point is 00:09:11 And so it's nice to like, like today I had a, I had media all day, but I made sure that I had time to go. We had a teacher's conference and you know, I had to make sure that I wanted to be there because I want to ask questions. I want to know what my daughter's like in school. She doesn't really like to tell me. After school, I'm like, what was your favorite part of the day?
Starting point is 00:09:31 What was the most fun thing you had? And they don't want to talk about anything. So I just let it be until they're ready to tell me. So to hear a teacher say that she is so helpful, she is amazing, she's learning well, and they're here to receive. And one time, a girl was looking for a pink pen. She is amazing. She she's learning well. She and it's under here received and one time, you know, a girl was looking for a pink pen. She had no idea. Maddie didn't even talk. She just went and got the pink pen and gave it to the girl. It was the sweetest thing. I was like,
Starting point is 00:09:53 that's my girl. That's my girl. I'm doing something right. Yeah. Because as a dad, you never know if you're doing it right. You always to be honest, I always feel like I'm doing it wrong. Right. I always sit there and go, man, am I, I can't live up like, oh, I didn't mean to, I didn't, I didn't mean to use my big boy voice, but you were, you were kind of just digging and digging. I was like, no, stop it. Yeah. Please. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:10:17 But you do know this man. Try not to do that. Miss, you're the first man there. Your daughters will ever love. There'll be some after you, but you'll be the first. It's crazy, huh? Yeah, it is. It really is.
Starting point is 00:10:32 It's something like when when when I first when they first were born, it's like a new piece of your heart opens up like everyone always says like, you know, you don't know what it's like until you have kids. You don't know what it's like until you get it. And it's so true. Yeah, because you can sit there and say, No, I get don't know what it's like until you have kids. You don't know what it's like until you have kids. And it's so true. Because you can sit there and say, no, I get it. I get it. It's like, no, you don't. Like if you're not watching them constantly, they will do something that will harm them.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Yes. And you have to keep an eye on them at all times. And then everything you do, they will emulate. So if you're rude to someone or if you're mean to someone, they're going to, they're going to pick that up. So you, you kind of watch and check yourself at all times. Now, I don't think they should watch my character in WWE because the Miz is very egotistical, arrogant and a little cocky if you will. Yeah. Matter of fact, speaking of your character, listen, you've played both the face and you played the heel throughout your career. Now I'm curious to know being that you've done both, which role do you prefer?
Starting point is 00:11:28 And why hitting me? Why? What do you I mean? What would you guys rather be a good guy smiling and shaking hands and kissing babies, signing autographs or the big bad heel? It's the bad guy that walks in. That's the villain. I was the I was always the villain. And I enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I embraced that role of being the villain, you know Not being like those being the bad boy being the bad guy. I enjoyed it But for the most part when it comes to wrestling, what do you think is better? I Didn't look at you as the villain by the way I looked at you as the star when I saw you on hard knocks and saying child Please I was like star right that guy And saying, child, please. I was like, star. That guy bonafide star.
Starting point is 00:12:06 When you're cutting and dicing people up and making touchdown catches, star. I don't see a bad guy. I don't see a villain. And I don't see a villain in myself. The audience sees a villain and they can see all the villain that they want. But I always look at myself as the hero,
Starting point is 00:12:23 as the person that is to triumph. I'm the ultimate underdog. I'm six foot nothing. I'm 200 nothing pound from Parma, Ohio. I should not be a WWE superstar and one of the most decorated WWE superstars. But here I sit the first ever two time Grand Slam champion in WWE history, not Hogan, not Austin, not Rock, The Miz. So yeah, I guess I like being the bad guy, even though I don't consider myself the bad guy. So how, when will they release the lineup or when will you know who's gonna be on the card at WrestleMania?
Starting point is 00:13:00 We always start releasing lineups more towards the Royal Rumble. Okay. And that's usually around January, February. We usually our tickets go on sale. Everyone knows that every WrestleMania is bigger than the next. Last year was the biggest WrestleMania ever. I believe there's a hundred and forty five thousand in attendance both nights and the most watched WrestleMania ever. I think in my opinion, it was the best main event WrestleMania ever.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Seeing Cody Rhodes win the WWE championship, finishing his story. The story that his, the late great Dusty Rhodes was never ever to get, the title he's never ever to get. His family finally got it. It was a beautiful story and Cody's been doing a tremendous job. We have tons of huge superstars now. Like it feels like, I don't know if you guys remember this, but for me, the attitude era was everything. You know, growing up in high school, Austin rock, the degeneration X, it was awesome. Everyone always talked about it. right? And I've been in
Starting point is 00:14:05 WWE for 20 years and I didn't get to experience that. This feels the way the energy is in the locker room, the way the energy is out in the crowd. It feels like a new day attitude era. And I'm having a blast with it because it feels like, as we call it, everyone's over, which meaning every time a person walks out, they get a huge reaction. I mean, you know how it is. Some teams get like crickets, like the Carolina Panthers are getting crickets right now.
Starting point is 00:14:32 They can't even get people in the building. Like nobody wants to watch them. So there are superstars or have been superstars that would walk out, maybe people didn't know them really well. People didn't like them and didn't even care. It's like, oh, bathroom break. Now there are so many superstars that we call quote unquote over that it's very hard to get on
Starting point is 00:14:53 a WrestleMania card. And so you ask who will be on the card? We know this. This, it will be John Cena's last WrestleMania. And this isn't like, like Motley Crue saying, this is our last final tour. And then a year later, they're doing another stadium tour. This is when John Cena says something, you better believe it. And John Cena has been a staple in WWE for a very long time. He has been world champion almost. I think he's second in number of times he's held the title. And he is the poster child and he is the example that you want to be as a WWE superstar. He's a person that's first on the list to do all the media. First on the list, he's number one in Make-A-Wishes.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And he literally is the hardest worker, dedicated, amazing in the ring, amazing on the mic. And even our fans would critique him at times and be like, Cena's overrated, Cena's overrated. I've been in the ring with him. There's no one better. There's a reason we call him the goat and superstars call him the goat. You headlined your first WrestleMania against John Cena. What was that moment like?
Starting point is 00:16:04 Because you're headlining WrestleMania. That is your Super Bowl. It doesn't get any bigger in wrestling than WrestleMania and you're headlining against what many believe is the greatest wrestler of all time in John Cena. And in that moment, so I was the WWE champion, John Cena was the fighting baby face, right? And then The Rock comes in for the first time ever, in like nine years. Hasn't been seen in WWE, hasn't talked about WWE. And when I become WWE champion and I get the headline WrestleMania, The Rock comes in and he's feuding with John Cena.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Now these are two huge mega stars that have had time to really be the biggest they possibly can as a superstar. And then there's me who's trying to get up to that level. Like I needed time, I needed effort, I got the WWE championship. But luckily, like I felt my promo skills and my ability to gain heat really exemplified what that main event could be and was. And it was it was incredible. And I beat John Cena. So, yeah, like I'm putting my name in the hat as a person that would love to face John Cena at WrestleMania in Las Vegas, because I'm one and oh, in main events against John Cena at WrestleMania in Las Vegas because I'm 1-0 in main events against John Cena at WrestleMania. Now, will that happen?
Starting point is 00:17:29 I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Hey, listen, when you think about all you've accomplished, when you think about all the Rock has accomplished, you think about all that John Cena has accomplished, what would you say to the young wrestlers or the entertainers who are looking to make a name for themselves and do and follow in the footsteps and the path that you three have done. What do you tell the young rappers and entertainers?
Starting point is 00:17:51 The best advice I've ever gotten was from a superstar named Billy Kidman. It was interesting. So I saw him at a party in LA and I was in up and coming like I was in the independent wrestling circuit, which is like the double a of like that's what it is. It's the minor leagues, right? Right. And so I was training and trying to become a superstar and I went up to him. I said, what's your best advice? And his advice was stick with it.
Starting point is 00:18:19 And it sounds so easy. Right. And when I said stick with it, he goes, yeah, think about it. Think about all the things that can take you away from becoming a WWE superstar. Relationships, money, area, all these different things are all in your mind and they play tricks on you. When you're sitting there and you're in these minor leagues. And by the at that time I was on the real world
Starting point is 00:18:45 and I was doing challenges. And so I was like on TV and I felt like, and then I was also doing that. I was doing improv classes, acting classes. I was like, why isn't WWE taking me? I don't understand. If they're not gonna take me now, then when are they, maybe they'll never will.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Maybe I'm not big enough. Maybe I need to grow my muscles. So I got a nutritionist. I got, I had a trainer and it just, everything I did didn't feel like enough. And so there's so many ways, like you're just going to go, you know what, maybe I find another avenue. Maybe I find a different job or a different thing or something takes you away from your passion, from your love.
Starting point is 00:19:24 So stick with it was the best advice I've ever gotten that. And then for younger like kids, when they come up to me, I want to be a superstar. I always tell them, find a character, find a character that you think can relate to an audience that can, an audience can react to. And then also start cutting promos. And I don't care what you cut promos on, go in the mirror and start cutting promos on yourself. When you're stuck in traffic and you know if you're a kid and you're in the back seat and mom's up there you can start cutting
Starting point is 00:19:50 cutting promos on people in traffic you know and anything and everyone so I always say practice practice practice because I'm a person of habit I'm Julian Edelman I'm Rob Gronkowski. Guess what, folks? We're teammates again, and we're going to welcome you guys all to Dudes on Dudes. I'm a dude, you're a dude, and Dudes on Dudes is our brand new show.

I'm heading to Las Vegas and New Jersey and beyond to understand America's newest form of legalized gambling. Listen to Against the Rules on the iHeart radio app, Apple Being from Parma, Ohio. What do you guys tell? What do you guys tell like NFL rookies coming in? Go ahead, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Discipline. You got to be disciplined. Everything you just said, it all comes down to discipline. Obviously the same concept of sticking with it, but you don't have no choice but to stick with it as a rookie in order that once you get in that door, the process of trying to be great at something, it starts all over. It starts all over. You're starting from scratch. You know, is it with wide receivers, is it, is it speed that, that they fail or not knowing the plays or is it not being able to cut? Listen, what is it that a first-rounder, I remember Corey Coleman was a
Starting point is 00:25:10 first-rounder for Cleveland Browns, I was like, oh yeah, the next year he was gone. I was like, how does this happen? Listen, the transition is very difficult. The transition is very difficult even regardless of where you go from a first round to an eighth round, there's an expectation for you. And deliver to those expectations that are very difficult, because once you make it to the next level, you're part of the 1%.
Starting point is 00:25:33 When you're part of the 1%, everybody is good. Everybody's good. You know, so- What did you do? Like, so you were in the wide receiver room, obviously. What did you do that separated you from everyone else? And obviously there's God given talent, right? But also I feel like there's something more that both of you did that everyone else wouldn't or couldn't do. Is that safe to
Starting point is 00:25:57 say? Yes. In a sense, I think for me that there was God given talent, but there was hard work, a lot of hard work that I also put in that was overshadowed by the fun and the antics and the celebrations. And that was okay. So you obviously for me to be able to pull some of the stuff off that I did, the extracurricular activities, I had to work my ass off to be able to pull it off, to talk and be able to walk it every Sunday for decades straight.
Starting point is 00:26:24 And then obviously, when it came to my route running, that was what I was known for. So I, when it comes to receivers, you have to have one niche, you have to have one niche that makes you special and separate you from everybody else. So my niche was my footwork and my ability to run routes, to run very, very fast and stop on a dime and be able to transition and accelerate in less than two steps. And that was always my thing. Yeah, I think the thing is, is what I tell them is I said never mistake habit for hard work because people sometimes think because you do something over and over you're working hard.
Starting point is 00:26:58 And so never mistake those two because there are two separate things. And the analogy that I like to use, I say you see people go to the gym for 10, 15 years and their body never changes. They're going to the gym out of habit because they're not hard working, because we know we've seen the transition that when you work hard, working hard doesn't guarantee you anything,
Starting point is 00:27:18 but without it, you got no chance. And I also tell them there's no balance between greatness. There's no balance in greatness because either you want to be great or you don't because you're going to have to sacrifice something. Me, you got to sacrifice something. You write down your goals on one side and then you write down what you're willing to sacrifice in order to reach those goals on the side. And if you're not willing, if you're not willing to sacrifice to reach those goals.
Starting point is 00:27:43 So whose fault is that? That's that's yours. And the Ocho said, you know, you got to be willing in order to do what others can't, you have to be willing to do what others won't or can't. That's how you become that because you have to be, be willing to do something to set yourself apart. Ocho said, yeah, I had God given ability, but Ocho worked on that. He worked on his footwork. He worked on being able to transition to get in and out of breaks.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Therefore he became the player that he became. But a lot of people just say, like Ocho said, you're at the 1%. But everybody's good. Everybody got talent. God blessed everybody at that next level. I mean, you talk about 8 billion people, there are 1500 people that do what we do. So you've got to set yourself apart in order to stay to get not only get there, that's the start of the journey.
Starting point is 00:28:32 People think that's the end of the journey once they make a professional sport, make it to the WWE. That's the start of it. That's the easy part is getting there. The hardest part is staying. You know what the hardest part was? Being WWE champion and trying to get it back again. Yes. That was like when you reach the top of the mountain and you feel like you're untouchable. And then literally the next few years, I got
Starting point is 00:28:57 a reality check of like, Oh, oh, I, I have to elevate everyone else around me as well. People just don't elevate me. I need to learn how to elevate everyone else around me. So now it's, it's a whole nother responsibility that I had no idea I needed to have, and you're like, Oh, okay. I guess I wasn't prepared for that. And now you get a, and it's always learning, like even at 44 years old, 20 years in the business,
Starting point is 00:29:25 I'm still learning. And I'm learning from the younger guys as well, because some of them are very fast, very, very agile, can do certain things. And maybe they don't know where the particular place is to place those things, to get the biggest reaction from the crowd. And so that's where my knowledge can come in.
Starting point is 00:29:42 But they keep me going. Like I'm like, ooh, I can keep up with this kid. I can keep up with this kid Like there's there's some people some new talent coming into WWE that I look at and I go man I can't wait to wrestle this guy, right? Man, you mentioned the Browns. So you're Browns fan. What do you think about Browns fan? What do you think about the Browns this season? What do you think about the Browns this season? You know, I started off with going on Rich Eisen show and saying we're going to be undefeated the entire year and we're going to the Superbowl and we're going to win.
Starting point is 00:30:15 And the first game in, I texted Rich and I go, yeah, I was a little off on that because they have not, they just haven't looked like a team. They just, there's something off about them and I'm hoping, and I don't know if I'm hoping that chub coming back last game, he got the rust off. And I really feel that chub is the heart of that, the heartbeat of that offense and everything goes through chub. And so with the defense that they have, which I think they have amazing cornerbacks, they have miles Garrett, one of the greatest ever in defensive players ever in my opinion. And then you get chub back in there. I think they can start making a run. And I went on ice in today and I said that we're going to go undefeated from now
Starting point is 00:31:03 on. So that's the type of Browns fan you have right here. I am always optimistic, positively optimistic. Well, if you ever leave the Browns, you can go join the Cowboys fans because they're delusional like you are if you think y'all go go undefeated and win the Super Bowl. What happened to the Cowboys? They just don't have a running back. Is that what it is? It's a lot of things, not a running back. They're not very good on either side of the ball. I think the thing is if they weren't the Cowboys, we'd like, oh, okay. They're bad team.
Starting point is 00:31:30 But because of because they're the Cowboys, we kind of make excuses for them for why they're bad. Instead of just saying they are bad. Yeah. All right. Who's a good team? Like a solid team. The Ravens, the Lions, the Chiefs, Chiefs. You know, it's weird.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Mahomes hasn't even played like everyone's been saying he hasn't played that well. Oh, yeah. But he hasn't. He hasn't. Yes. Is that a culture that they can play like, OK, like Travis? Travis hasn't been blowing people out of the water either. And they just win. They have that a culture. Is that what the Browns are missing?
Starting point is 00:32:05 They have an outstanding defense and they have a quarterback that when he has to make a play and he has to play good in a particular drive, he does. So he picks his, he picks the best moments to play his best football. We absolutely got to have a drive. He'll go get a drive together. They'll go to touchdown to take the lead or they'll get in field goal. We actually think you're out there right now that are like that. They can do that.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Now, maybe not at a Patrick Mahomes level, but at least like I can work with this. This guy can do it. Lamar Lamar, Lamar Jackson. Um, if I had to take, I would take Lamar behind Patrick Mahomes. Right. And then I would probably take right now this year, I would take Jerry golf next. Then I would take Josh Allen. Those would probably be right now if I had to take someone.
Starting point is 00:32:56 What do you think the Jets' problem is? They're depending on a guy that is not what he once was and they pinned all their hopes. See, he has to be great in order for them to win because they were counting on him like their defense is going to hold people to 10 points, 13 points. But what happens when they don't? And so they can't consistently put drive together and he's turning the ball over at a rate that we've never seen Aaron Rodgers turn the ball over. It hit Wilson on the chest. Like one of his, I mean, I was like, how does that even his
Starting point is 00:33:34 fault? Like, it's so interesting football. It's like, it's like inches like today Thursday night game. I mean, I literally watched Donald get a face mask and they take him down and there's no foul. And then the game's over and I went, no, we have a minute and point two seconds left. They can go down. Like I'm not even a Vikings fan, but I was ready for a two minute like drill
Starting point is 00:33:59 and see if they can actually make a comeback. And he was standing right there. The ref was literally three feet away. How do you miss that? You can't, you can't, but he did. He did. I mean, obviously he was going to get, you know, they get judged just like, you know, obviously when you're wrestling, you get scouted, you get judged.
Starting point is 00:34:17 I'm sure the official that the WMD say, Oh, we miss you probably should have done this when you did that and so forth and so on. So officials get judged and if they get judged, obviously you want to make the playoffs and potentially make the Superbowl. But if you make too many of those egregious calls, you're not going to be in the NFL for long. I don't think cups getting traded either anymore. You can't trade them.
Starting point is 00:34:37 They're three and four. They're one game out. See, there's been talk all week. I said, Pittsburgh's been excited. Yeah. I said the same thing earlier. I think if they, if they went to two and, if they went to what two and five or something like that, then the trade would have still been on.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Even though that's like Stanford's best friend. Yeah. It's business business. Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean, the jets literally brought everyone from green Bay for, for Aaron, you know, and they can't keep Stafford's great wide receiver. Nah, the money, the cost, they don't care about no best friends. Not in that situation. Now you do things if you want to get a player, obviously they wanted, uh, Aaron.
Starting point is 00:35:15 And so, you know, they signed a Lazard. They've signed, you know, they went and got Ramdo Cobb also. Uh, uh, then you see they traded for, uh, Devante, Tay Adams. But in this situation, they're like, nah. And I still believe if somebody comes along with a high enough draft pick, Ocho and I was discussing this earlier, Miss, I think if somebody comes along with a high enough draft pick, I still think they move it. Move cup?
Starting point is 00:35:39 Yeah. Second round? Well, I heard they wanted a third for it. Third. So now you're thinking if someone comes and says, we'll give you a third, I heard they wanted a third for it. A third. So now you're thinking, if someone comes and says, we'll give you a third, you think they would do it? Or you think it's gotta be a second? Yeah, third.
Starting point is 00:35:52 They would do it on a third? No way! Yeah. It's Cooper Cup! Yeah, but he got a big prize. The thing is, they want a high draft pick, and the team, they're gonna want somebody to take the entire salary. They don't wanna pay any of it. be in a round draft pick really that high anymore with the NIL like everyone's staying in college
Starting point is 00:36:10 No, it I'll don't pay the kind of money that the NFL pay Caleb Williams his dad tomorrow where he might stay in college. They ain't no got no 40 million dollar in I'll deal What me as man, thank you for joining us deal. Thank you for joining us. Congratulations on everything that you've accomplished. Good luck. Hopefully we see you at WrestleMania. It's gonna be in Vegas this year. So hopefully Ocho and I get a chance to go check it out. I look forward. I've never been to a WrestleMania. You guys have an open invite. Please come down. We'll guys will see you guys. Thank you guys very much for having me on the show. I appreciate it. Appreciate you bro. Enjoy the rest of the year. Man, that was great. for having me on the show. I appreciate it. Appreciate you bro. Enjoy the rest of the year.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Later guys. Man, that was great. We had Busta Rhymes on Busta. Busta in the mid. The mid. I know. Man, that's unbelievable, man. It's great to, it's great Ocho to talk to people outside of kind of what we do.
Starting point is 00:36:56 You know, we're football players and we love talking to football players. But when we get Busta that's in the music, that's you know, in the hip hop culture, rap. we get me as that's in WWE or we get a, a basketball player or we get, uh, uh, next, next week we're going to have a Griffey on cause we don't talk a little bit of the world series. So we're going to have great, we're going to have Griffey jr. On. And so, uh, you know, the thing that we try to do, Oh Joe, we try to give you, uh, obviously we, we, we talk sports,
Starting point is 00:37:23 but we're not as versed in baseball and Griffey will be so he can tell us the things that we should look for. What's transpiring while the Yankees are up, while the Dodgers are up, why the, you know, the series is tied because I don't know if we've had us were a series, I can't remember the last time that we had a world that we had, but we had the two best players in the game that speak to each other. You got Shohei, you got Aaron Judge, you got Soto, you got Mookie Betts,
Starting point is 00:37:50 you got Freddie Freeman, you got Garrett Cole, you got two iconic historic franchises. Giancarlo, yeah, thank you. So it doesn't really get any better than this. It is, yeah. So it would be probably like know, probably like when, when the Celtics were playing and you had Bird and Magic facing each other,
Starting point is 00:38:09 you had the two best players and the two most iconic franchises going head to head. Right. And so that's what, that's what we're asking for. That's what we asked for. So it's always great to talk to people outside of the, the sport of football. Hold on. I'm plugging my charger up.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Cause my computer going dead. All right. Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey mispracticed on Wednesday with an unprecedented injury report designation. Jury duty. Aubrey is serving on a 12-person jury in a felony assault case in Tarrant County, Texas. The Cowboys reportedly tried to get Aubrey excused,
Starting point is 00:38:45 but he insisted on doing it. Ocho, have you ever had a teammate miss practice or gain due to jury duty? I have not, because normally they get out of it because of, you know, you who you are being, everybody has a civic duty to do that but normally a lot of times they'll excuse the person from jury duty because they're so high profile. Now you know obviously there have been high profile people to serve on jury duty but a
Starting point is 00:39:17 lot of times what the team they'll hire someone, have an attorney to go down there and speak on the players behalf and the court system will normally allow them to like, okay, you're off this. But, you know, obviously he wanted to do it. He wanted to be a part of a jury that of this felony assault case, which is, you know, I, like I said, I've never had a teammate to miss practice or miss a game. Cause like I said, normally team has an attorney to go down there
Starting point is 00:39:49 and speak on the player's behalf and the player gets off jury duty. So have you, Ocho ever had a teammate to miss practice or game because of jury duty? Oh, absolutely not. Absolutely not. That, that has never happened, you know, during, during, obviously during my tenure in the NFL, uh, nothing to that magnitude at any time players have missed practice. Um, it's been because of personal reasons, uh, with family, um, birth of a child. Yeah. But that's, that's pretty much it.
Starting point is 00:40:16 I've never had anybody actually miss a game in general, you know, um, during my time, but you know, it's always been a family emergency, death in the family, or someone having a child. And it was always during the week when that happened, never on a game day. I'm Julian Edelman. I'm Rob Gronkowski. Guess what, folks? We're teammates again.

You can also find it on the Talkin' Baseball YouTube channel
Starting point is 00:44:46 and new episodes drop every Tuesday. as a chief. I haven't played meaningful football in a couple of years. What are your expectations D Hop for the remaining of the season? Oh man, Hop, Hop, Hop Finite man. Hop is Finite. The Juju, the Juju, the Juju that we just saw last week, a week before last before he got hurt they had 120, 130 yards. That is what's going to happen with D Hop. D Hop catch everything under the sun. D Hop can catch everything under the sun and D. Hop can catch everything under the sun and with the creativity and the scheming that Andy Reid does with that offense and putting players in position to make plays to continue to move the ball up and down the field. Right. With Mahomes accuracy and it's going to get ugly. It's going to be ugly and we're going to see the Deandre Hopkins of old. We're going to see flashes of what he was able to do in Arizona.
Starting point is 00:45:44 We're going to see flashes of what he was able to do in Arizona. We're gonna see flashes of what he was able to do when he was in Houston. And he's gonna put everybody on notice and let them know, regardless of his age, he can still play ball if put in the right situation and he's given the opportunities to make those plays. Brock Purdy says he doesn't call audibles
Starting point is 00:46:00 at the line of scrimmage. He said the answer to what the defense may present is already built into the play. That that is true. Okay. And that, that when he, when he says it like that, that is true. So whatever the set is based on what the defense does, there's always open man. Then there's always open man on every single play, but that's in the testament to, to Brock Purdy and knowing what the defense is running and what he sees
Starting point is 00:46:25 pre-snap and what they do post-snap. Knowing where the ball has to go. Now that's a lot you got to work on. Most of the time you come out the huddle you got two plays anyway. Right. You got two plays anyway and based on what you see in front of you, you got to make a check. Sometimes you hit your helmet like this, you got to make a check. There has to be a check. What do you mean you don't get audibles? You have to audible. Well, I agree with you, but I think sometimes I think if
Starting point is 00:46:55 because he was a Mr. Relevant, it's hard for me to see. Now, as he gets a little older, I think they'll allow him to check at the line of scrimmage, right? So you don't think he has the freedom to do so yet? No, no, no. So whatever they call it, you just got to stay with it. Okay. Okay. That's understandable too. Or he's telling him, or when he goes to his helmet to do this right here, that's the audible.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Yeah. That's why I said, why are you saying the audible? And I've seen you do it countless times. Right. Yeah, that's why I said, why are you saying the auto? But I've seen you do it countless times. Right. Listen, if you got a run for you got a run call play in the defense that they have presented, knowing you can't run the ball, what's the first thing you do?
Starting point is 00:47:33 You checking the bottom of it to whatever the second play is you call it an auto. All right, Ocho, now it's time for our last segment of the evening is time for Q and A. Hey, that's crazy. Hey, you know, I got a, what's it called? What? I done went from Miami to Philly,
Starting point is 00:47:57 film Wednesday, went from Philly Wednesday to Houston yesterday for my daughter's coronation, and went from Houston to LA today to do the Ram Viking game. I'm on the red-eyed at night. I'm on the red-eyed at night to do the MLS game and um and whatchamacallit. Matter of fact you know what I forgot I forgot I forgot to say that I forgot to talk about that too. Well, Nyser did we uh, Ocho check this out. Nyser said, hello Shannon Ocho, Ocho, please reconsider pulling up on Bust to Rhyme.
Starting point is 00:48:28 You don't know what you're getting yourself into. Ash wanted me to pass along, she just gave you a number to Bust to Rhyme, so. Oh, that's good, because my flight is at 1.30, 1.30 in the morning back to Miami, so I'm finna pull up on Bust. Bust don't know me. We know he, he know me very well.
Starting point is 00:48:47 He doesn't know the lyricist that I am. He's never seen that side of me. So I'm a surprise him when he see that side of me. And you know, he could even get his money to get his work. Danny little John says sharp. Oh Joe, why doesn't the Steelers get the respect they deserve? They're tied with the Ravens for first place in the AFC North. Oh Joe, why don't the Steelers get the respect they deserve? They're tied with the Ravens for first place in the AFC North. Ocho, why don't the Steelers get the respect they deserve?
Starting point is 00:49:10 I mean, I think I think they're going to they're going to I think they do get the respect they do. They do get the respect they deserve. But I think all the noise and all the noise and the talk about the Steelers has always been the quarterback controversy. Yes. You know, the the quarterback carousel, that's where all the tension has been going on. Obviously the Ravens, they started very slow at 0-2 and it went on a goddamn tear since then.
Starting point is 00:49:32 And it looked like the best team in the NFL. And so I think as Russell Wilson continues to look and do what he did last week, then I think the tension to the Steelers will transition from the quarterback to a low, their second in the AFC North, and that's probably when the conversation will change and they will get the credit they deserve.
Starting point is 00:49:57 I agree. Billy Skywalker, Ocho, you were more comfortable outside because you knew Ray Lewis was on the inside. I like that. I like where you went with that. What you don't, what you further realize is all my catches were in the inside.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I just didn't prefer lining up in there. I preferred coming in there from the outside in. You see where I went with that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dominic, great talent. Hey, Uncle, I've always wanted to know your opinion
Starting point is 00:50:22 on John Moe back in the day. Moe was great. Moe didn't, look, he've always wanted to know your opinion on John Mobley back in the day. Mo was great. Mo didn't look, he didn't have the name of some of those other linebackers that played in his era, but he was sound. He could play the pass. Obviously, he was great against the run. Hey, Grida showed up, did what he was supposed to do. Mo was great.
Starting point is 00:50:40 I love playing, I love being his teammate. He was, I think he made all-pro one year, had over 150 tackles. John love being his teammate. He was, I think he was, he made all pro one year, had over 150 tackles. John was a good player. He was a very good player. Edgar Rojas said, great show tonight, Uncle Nocho. Thank you.
