Yes, sir. I'm on my wife's computer, so I'm trying to figure out how to change the name on it right now. L. Doug, what's up? Oh, you mean to tell me you're not Haley? What's that? You not Haley? No, no, that didn't mean. LW was good, boy? I'm good. How are you doing?

Man, listen, man, life is good. Man, one foot in front of the other, man. I got my head high so I can see where I'm going. But before we start, before we get into football, I just want to know do you got a nutritionist? I do have a nutritionist on the team that I use. We're not using him or her no more. We're not using her no more.

Listen, I'm a meal prep. I'm the NFL nutritionist. I've been appointed by the NFL for all the players, you know. So I'm going to see you information, and I'm going to be your meal. I'm going to meal prep you meals for the next 17 weeks and for the playoffs. And you, my second client. So I got is you and Kirby Joseph

And then I'm in $20 a week $20 a week, that's all that's all I charge And so I'll be making sure Paired before every game I'm going to tell all the rookies about this I appreciate that, I appreciate that, thank you Liddy You get traded, you go to Seattle

And it seems like in Seattle You found a home I mean, look, it's not that you didn't play You didn't play bad But it seems like you found a home in Seattle Can you tell us what's the biggest difference between Seattle and New York? And I'm not talking about geographically, but I'm saying in the defenses, was it something the way the coaches, the way you received the information? Was it the way they gave the information?

Is it the defensive scheme? What was different about the defense? Man, honestly, I agree with you. I feel like I found a home out here in Seattle. I feel like there's a combination of things that made it feel a difference. So the fan base was one of the big differences, just like the way they embraced me, the way they should. show up on game day, the way they support our team and stuff like that. And then also just in terms of schematics and coaches,

I feel like, you know, having AD who came from the Cowboys and then Coach Mike McDonald, I feel like they just kind of created the scheme where they allow me to like play with freedom. And they allow me to be like a playmaker and use my athleticism. And they celebrate me for, you know, just being in the backfield and, And sometimes, like, if I see a play outside of the scheme, they allow me to, like, sometimes swim a block. Go make a play. Yeah, exactly.

Go make a play where, you know, a lot of times throughout my career, I feel like I've was almost too coachable at times where, you know, I was taken away from my playmaking ability where I was, like, trying to play a block the way the coaches wanted me to and stuff like that. So there's a combination of stuff. It's so funny. You just said that. We just talked to Kirby Joseph. And the one thing is I asked them, obviously they have a new defensive coordinator, right?

And I said, do you still have the freedom to have free will outside of the scheme that your coach has? Will they still allow you to do that? And he said yes. And the fact that you started everything out about your coaches allowing you to have the freedom to be able to make plays based on your football knowledge and what your eye see instead of what it says on paper is really, really important, especially for players like yourself, to be able to reach. their maximum potential out there on Sundays. And that's really dope. That's really, really dope to hear. Yeah, I agree.

I think it's important. I mean, for me, it just made me feel like it brought, like, the excitement of football back for me a little bit, too, which made me, like, once I started having fun, I'm like, y'all played before, so you know how it is. Like, when you're out there having fun and you're able to play free and, you know, have free will and be celebrated for it, it's like the best out of you comes out. And I feel like that's how it is here. I'm asking you this.

When you're at the Giants and then you get traded, you're like, damn, has anybody ever been traded from the Giants to the Jazz or Giants to the Giants? I mean, because it is so different. I mean, the Jets fans and the Giants fans, they're so different. The city reacts so different to each team.

Yeah, I mean, like you said, even though we played in the same stadium, the fan base felt different. The culture felt very different. the Jets were kind of further out in Jersey felt like we were like a New Jersey team kind of and then the Giants being so close to the city made me feel like I was the actual New York team

but it was very interesting I mean luckily I didn't have to move during that trade I was still able to stay in my house but it was definitely weird when like that same week I got traded I ended up playing in the stadium and like instead of going into one parking lot I went to a different parking lot and instead of walking down that hall

to go to one locker room. I just went to a different locker room. So it was very strange. It was, yeah, it was interesting. Yeah, how's the body holding up, man? You're going into camp. I mean, actually, camp now ending, preparing for you going.

How's your body holding up? I mean, amazing, honestly. I mean, I have a coaching staff. Our strength staff here at Seattle is the same strength staff. I had at USC. Okay. But that's dope. Yes, it's really cool.

So they got to see me develop as like, you know, when I was a young player so they know they know it works for Leonard Williams yeah exactly and we all talk about how it looks like I'm like and it feels like I'm in the best shape of my life honestly that's dope I mean that's saying something I mean for a guy your size to be

able to move and it's being as agile because we saw what did they say you're the largest guy to ever get what do you have a 90 yard return touchdown you're the you're the heaviest guy in NFL history to return an interception that far for a touchdown correct yeah that's correct yes sir

So, so how did that, so let me, so take us through that, take us through that play. What was, what were you supposed, were you supposed to drop in coverage? Or did you see something? You see his eyes? They're just like, let, I've been to make this play. Yeah, that's one of Mike McDonald's genius players right there, actually, where we, it was designed for the detackers to drop out. And I actually got a pick in practice earlier in camp that year.

So when that play was dialed up, like every time it's dialed up, I'm thinking I'm, a play is coming my way. And it just happened like, it happened so fast, man. Like, people were asking me like, oh, like, what were you thinking when it happened? And I was telling everybody, it felt like it was like an outer body experience, actually. Like, I felt like I was almost watching myself from like an aerial view of the happening. You know what I mean? Because you snagged it. Yeah.

I mean, it wasn't like you did. I'm talking about, no, bro. I mean, like, you played tight in at some point in time. You caught the ball. You played on the other side of the ball. You had to. That was not a defense attack. That means a lot, man.

I played Todd in the high school, but it wasn't like much. It was like just every once in a while. I went to a big high school, so we didn't have to play both sides that much. But I'm an athlete, though, you know. Hey, are you, you from L.A.? Yeah, I was born in California, but I went to high school in Daytona Beach, Florida. So I was kind of back and forth. Okay, okay.

From California, Florida, most of my upbringing. That's live. That's live. Yes, sir. You got a different quarterback this year. Jimo leaves. He goes to the Las Vegas Raiders. Income Sam Donald, who did an excellent job last year.

But you play with Sam and with the Jets. So you're very familiar with him. What are the expectation? You guys had a nice little end to the season last year. I mean, so what's the expectation this year for Seattle? I mean, I think the expectation is, you know, as a defense, We want to be the best on the field. We have high expectations for our offense this year,

but we compete with each other even within the defensive room. The defense line wants to be the best group on the defense. The DB is one of the best group on the defense and so on. But I'm definitely excited about the way our offense is looking right now. We've got a new coordinator, and we're running the ball. Great so far. It's only been preseason, but it just looks like a new team with the way we're running the ball. And then, like you said, I play with something.

Sam Darnold, NC, sorry, on the Jets. And then I also play with him at USC for like one year. Damn, you can't get away from him, huh? Yeah, I know. He keeps following. But just seeing what he did last year, I mean, you know, he even played against us really well when we played them last year

against the Vikings. Yeah. And just seeing the way he's matured, you know, he's bounced around, played on a few teams, played in a few different systems. And I think he's finally found his groove and matured to a good player. Most definitely.

I mean, I'm excited for you guys, too, especially from an offensive perspective, seeing what Sam Donald was able to do in Minnesota last year, obviously with Justin Jefferson and Addison and Hoggison. But then also, now you got J.S.N. You got Cooper Cup over there. Kenneth Walker, obviously, taking some of the pressure off him from a lot of him to be able to flourish.

I think y'all going to be fine. Y'all going to be fine. So I'm excited for y'all. Who y'all got week one? We got the Niners. Oh, yeah, y'all got them. Divisional match. Divisional match.

Divisional match. Lobbery, week one, baby. Y'all got that. Y'all got that. Yeah, I know. I'm excited. Niners, they hurt. They don't know who they're going to throw the ball to.

Yeah, y'all good. Y'all got that. Yes, sir. Let me ask you a question. When you, what's your mindset? What's your thought process? Because, you know, do you move up and down the line? Because, you know, the great, like a lot of the defensive players that, you know,

the Reggie Weiss, the Bruce Smith, the Aaron, Dollars, those guys, the Johnny Randall's, they moved up and down the line. And they're trying to turn the handle to the and see which one opens the quickest, which one open the easiest, and that's where I'm going to stay. So I might be, hey, I might have to be a line up in a seven, I might have to line up in a five, I might get a three,

I might get, hey, I might get in the nose. Whatever. I'm just trying to find the weakest link because that's how it is on the Serengetty. The old and the week get taken advantage of. That's what I'm looking to do. I mean, you said it perfectly. I mean, I never heard it describe with the opening the door thing. That's like, I'm going to have to take that

back into the D-Line room But, yeah, I mean, I think that's something that makes me a unique player since coming out of college. I could play from the zero all the way out to like six, nine technique on the edge. Like, and it showed up last year. I was getting, you know, sacks at end. I was getting sacks at three technique. I prefer three technique, like playing.

You like to play the under tackle, huh? Yeah, I like to play that. You like that shade. He liked to be on that shit. It's just less face, less stuff to look at. Sometimes when I'm out there at the end, it's like they'll try to play. put a receiver out there making it look like he's

making a look your toss crack you yeah yeah it's all that tricky stuff out there on the edge sometimes when I'm on the three technique I'm just it's just monom I'm goal it's goal I'm getting on my man right now

as quick as possible but in certain situations I play against the Niners it's a little less about finding the fish what we call it you know like the oh yeah hey you got a landing

hey we got a fish yeah we got the fish but against playing like the Niners instead of finding the fish they actually like the line me up on Trent because they say their offenses kind of ran around him sometimes. So it's like

their run game and a lot of stuff like that tends to run towards Trent William. So they like to put me on him to kind of like help shut down the run a little bit. So it works hand in hand like that. What's it like to get traded mid-season? I mean, so they call you something, were you home, when you got the news that

you were traded, were you home, were you at practice? So where were you when you got the news that you were going to get traded? Um, I was in the building, uh, it was on, yeah, it was on a Monday. So I came in just doing my normal routine. Uh, I was definitely hearing like conversations about like possible trade, you know, with my agent and just the way the season was going for the Giants. Uh, you know, we were, we were losing.

We were pretty much already out of the playoffs. And then, uh, the GM, like, called me into his office. So I kind of already expected what was coming. And, uh, the way he presented it to me was making it seem like I had like two teams to choose from that were like both trying to trade for me for around the same offer pretty much. And at the time, like the Seahawks were like number one in the division. I knew of P. Carroll a little bit and I just thought it was the best fit for me. It was obviously a struggle like coming all the way to the West Coast, Pacific Northwest in the middle. Yeah, that's a long way.

That's a long. Yeah, it was long. And then I'm living in a hotel for like two weeks before I get situated in like a house and stuff like that. So it's a lot. But. But, you know, I even played good for those eight weeks that I was here. And I remember my wife and, like, coach and teammates even asking me, like, you know, how were you able to play good even in the middle of, like, moving and transition in your life and stuff like that. And for me, I told my wife and other people that, like, there was so much going on, like, out of my control that it made me, like, fully...

Focus on what I could control. Exactly. I was fully dialed in on what I could control. So it just, like, the way I showed up for work every day, the way I played and stuff like that just like went to another level because I was like, oh, like, I put so much more emphasis and focus on like what I could control. What do your goals is this upcoming season?

From an individual standpoint, obviously, you know, team goals. You have those defensively, you have, obviously you have team goals that you have as a unit. But from an individual standpoint, what do you hope to accomplish this season outside of the main goal being Super Bowl? I mean, as an individual, I think I just want to like build on the season I had last year. I feel like I was short of some accolades that I worked for. And I feel like I want to be first AP All-Pro and Pro Bowl this year.

And, you know, maybe like 10 plus sacks, like 15 plus TFLs. And also feed the rest of my guys. I feel like we have a great D-Line right now. And I feel like at least four of us can have eight plus sacks this year. Like, is that what, do you feel like the defensive tackles because you guys don't get the high sack totals? Aaron Donald's is anomaly, a guy that plays the three technique and get 20 sacks. That's crazy. That's a third of.

He was different. But you guys don't get like the edges, you know, the Miles Garrett and the Michael Parsons and the T.J. Wads that's out there on edge and playing in space, they're going to have 13, 14, 14, 15, 17, 20 sacks. Do you feel like you guys get the credit that you deserve? I think the standard for D-Tackle definitely has changed in the last few years, and I think Aaron Donnell was a big part of that, obviously. Him getting 10 plus sacks every year and, you know, 20 sacks, his defensive player of the year, you know, that was different for a defensive tackle. I think, like, if you were getting, like, six to eight sacks as a defensive tackle normally,

that's like a good season. That's a hell of a season. Yeah, that's a good season for a D-tackle-tackle normally. And I think nowadays, you know, fans want to see 10 plus sacks from a defensive tackle for them to think that you had a good season. And unfortunately, they see sacks as like one of the main stats and they don't see like all the play in, play out, plays out. The run, the tackle for losses, the holding up

so the linebackers can make the plays. I mean, I don't like to do all that either. I like to. Well, I know what you told me you got to play the under tackle. I already know you ain't tried the two gap. Yeah, yeah. I like two-guffing, but I want to make the play, for sure. I love my linebackers, but like I said, we'd be competing in our room, so I'm good.

Hey, hey, first cup, first serve, bro. I'm trying to get, I got first crack. I'm closer to him, but you are. I heard you're into magic. Oh, what? You know about that? No, I'm just, I mean, you know, they're a little research. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's not like pulling bunnies out of a hat, like, cart, not like that type of magic. You know, I mean, it's a card game, kind of like similar to, like, Pokemon. Okay, okay. You collect cards and you can play it. It's called, like, Magic the Gathering from, like, Wizards of the Gathering from, like, Wizards Up. Oh, yeah, Magic. Okay, okay. And like Wizards of the Coast is the brand that makes them.

And what's cool is they're based out here in Seattle, so they gave me, like, a tour of their facility and stuff like that. And, you know, we've been in communication about it. So is that what you do in your downtime? I mean, I do a lot of things in my downtown. I feel like I'm pretty different from most football players. I think I started playing football later in life. Like, I didn't start playing football until I got to high school. And I feel like because of that,

I was able to kind of figure myself out as like a person a little bit. I mean, I was young still, obviously, but I feel like I was able to, like, find other interests and hobbies and stuff like that outside of football. So I like to go, like, spearfishing and, like, boat in and traveling and stuff like that. That's what I was about to ask you. Being up there in Seattle, do you like to go fishing? because, you know, what's the market?

I went up there because you got to go to the market. If you're going to Seattle, you got to go see them, throw the fish and do all that. Have you caught them? Have you been able to catch it? Yeah, of course, I went up there, like, a few weeks after I got traded. When I finally got out of the hotel, like me and my wife, like, okay, now it's time to explore the city a little bit. So we went to the market, and, like, they all recognized me right away.

So they were like, Big Cat, you got to come over here. And, like, I was definitely nervous because, like, I feel like I got hands. Like, you've seen the interception. But catching a wet, slippery fish. Yeah, that fish, yeah. Yeah, I'm like, but I caught it, and it was a pretty cool tradition. But, yeah, that's something I like to do during my off time is go fishing and stuff like that.

And I'm based down in Florida during the off-season. So it's perfect. Wait, you're in Florida? Yes, sir. But where at? For a lot of the... Man, I'm right here. I'm right here.

What's ranches? Let's go fishing, baby. I free dive when I fish. That's what I'm saying when I go spearfish. You'd be free diving? Yeah. Come on. Yeah, man.

Look, I can hold my breath by four minutes. He ain't buying it. He ain't buying it. Hey, Leonard, I can hold my breath like four minutes. I can get in the spirit in the water like myself. I'm a nomad. Okay. Yeah.

So, man, when you get in the offseason, man, I got you. We can take my boat. Where are you at? Huh? Where you live? I'm in South West Ranchers and fall out of there. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, let's go, man.

Let's do it. Yeah. Yes, sir. This man's telling me he got a boat and everything. I do got a yacht. It ain't, it ain't mine, but Mickey Erison let me use his yacht when I'm going to go deep. Same thing, same thing, same thing. You can't, ain't nobody fishing off no yacht.

Hey, let me mention this. Would you like, would you, would you, would you go on a trip? Let's just say, they say, well, they go out for, they got to bring me back. I couldn't stay out there for no two, three months. The deadliest catch. You know, they go out there to the barren sea. I might be doing like a couple of days, but they don't have to come get me. I don't lie.

The way the boat be almost completely tilted over, I don't know. Oh, you'd be sick. Yeah, I'm pretty adventurous and I like to do a lot of crazy stuff. My teammates to judge me for sometimes, but that's one of those. I don't know about the deadliest case. You good. You good with that, say, them Alaskan king crabs. I wait till they break up, I went to they break them to the shore.

I get them there. I'll buy them from the market. Hey, I like the T-shirt. You know that T-shirt. Liga than five. Yes, sir. That's my team. from L.A., baby.

Man, Litter, thanks for joining us, man. Stay healthy. Yes, sir. Great, hey, tremendous season last year. Hopefully, even better season this year, man. Thanks for dropping by. And guess what? When you get those double-digit sacks this year

and make first team all pro, come back and tell us about it. Yes, sir. I appreciate you all having me, man. All right, part. Thanks for joining us, bro. Appreciate you. I'll see you on that boat.

I got you, I got you. Oh, Joe, we got a little bad news. Chiefs wide receiver. Rashid Rice has accepted the six-game suspension for violating the NFL personal conduct policy. In July, Rice was suspended, was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years probation for his role in a multi-car crash in Dallas that left multiple people injured during the 2024 off-season. Ocho, how much does this hurt the Chiefs start to the 2025 season?

It doesn't hurt the Chiefs at all. It doesn't hurt the Chiefs at all. It's from an offensive perspective. They had packed my homes at the helm. They had packed my homes at the Hill. You look at situations similar to when Tyreek left. That offense didn't miss a beat because the quarterback is that great. Now, they still have Hollywood Brown.

So they'll be fine. I'm missing somebody. They still have Xavier Worthy, you know. And one thing about that offense is each game, you never know whose day it's going to be. As great as Rashid Rice is, when he's out, Rashid Rice is, when he's out there on the field, it's an awesome thing. With him being absent for sick games, the Chief's offense is not going to miss a beat. That's just how great that quarterback is. Well, I think the thing is that you look at Rishi Rice, his rookie season,

they won the championship. And he was only going, he was only getting better before he got hurt last year. Look at the numbers that he was putting up. And plus when Tyreek left, Travis Keltzer was at his apex. The question is, can he still, can he summons it up again and give you those type of season? We saw a dip into production. He had the fewest amount of catches, the fewest amount of yards. that he's had in probably a decade.

So what we saw last year is not the Travis Kelsey that we're used to seeing. Can he said he lost 25 pounds? He got back. Congratulations, Trave on getting married. It's going to be an unbelievable. That's going to be expected. That might be a lady die and Prince Charles. Yeah.

That might be something. I mean, I don't know the last time we've had a wedding that's, you know, that's going to be to the scale of what this is, given who he is, given who she is, who that's going to. be something that's going to be something special uh but i i do think it'll hurt ocho now the question is is hollywood brown all the way back is hollywood is hollywood is hollywood is healthy he's healthy um Xavier worthy look good he looked unbelievable and and and in the super bowl now look it's hard for me to really judge it on that ocho because you're so far behind and they just like

hey do what you want to do brother them empty calorie yard they ain't doing nothing right but i did see I did see as the season progressed, I saw Xavier Worthy get better and better and better. Yeah. And so I'm counting on him to build all that. The question, again, the question, what does Neff got? What is Travis going to be able to give you?

Can he summons it up one more time and give you what? Because he had a great, what was that? The Texans, he had a game. But prior, after that, that was not the Travis Kelsey we were used to see. No. But also, you have to understand, from a defensive perspective, when you go into a game like that and you're playing the Chiefs, defensively, you make your adjustments based on trying to stop 87. Yes. How do we stop the Chief's offense? Well, for one, you take away Pack from Holmes, number one target, number one weapon.

That's trap with Kelsey. So obviously, with teams eyeing on him a little bit more than others, now you need other players to step up to the plate and show that they can also be dominant at a position and hurt you as well. them moving Xavier Worthy around put him in different positions to make plays this year you got Hollywood Brown coming back

acclimated into the system he's healthy this year fast as hell they got a little mini four by one track team too over there now so they ain't no sloucher so I think they're not

going to miss a beat offensively when Rishie Rice does come back that will make them that much better because it adds another weapon to Patrick Mahomes's arsenal I think the biggest thing is for them is that

can they protect my homes. The offensive line has to be sure. That was a problem last year. Especially in that Philly game. Especially in that Philly game. It was part of the problem

throughout the season last year and it happened in spurts. Mahomes running for his life. But obviously it came to a head when they played a defensive line like them goddamn Eagles. And boy, oh man, that was that was I felt bad.

I felt bad for Pat. It seemed like soon as he got the ball, they was in his face. yeah they were i mean we saw this before in tampa when they played tampa in the super bowl in tampa he didn't have time and it doesn't matter we saw this with tom brady with the giants when you got it you we saw this with manning um against seattle can it doesn't matter who you are can i'm against bronco yeah yeah i was at that game um but he's uh he accepted that they were looking to get uh The reports were they were looking for a whole season.

The NFL PA, like, nah, we can't drive with that. But he says, okay, six games, let me go ahead and get this behind me so I can move forward with my life and this season. So Rashid Rice has accepted a six-game suspension for violating the NFL personal conduct policy. Michael Parsons, the Green Bay rumors were in full swing this morning with this picture surfaced of him at DFW. Well, James Slater reports, Michael was just seeking a second opinion on his back.

I'm Jake Hofer, and this is Back 40, a limited series show on Wire to Hunt, part of Meat Eat Eaters podcast network. Each episode, I'll be asking eight white-tail hunting pros, a focused, thought-provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access? Should you, that's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand.

We need to embrace this community.

When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier, and we watched Ottawa against Chile, pouring rain, just watching the fans jumping up and down. I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life. Listen to San Diego FC behind the flow. Now on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Cowboys had Parsons undergoing MRI on his back Sunday. And Coach Brian Schottenheimer said the results were pretty clean. If Parsons going to continue to hold in until he receives a contract extension,

he'll need the doctor to sign off his back tightness being too much to play through. What do you think of it, Joe? I love the game, huh? For the love of the game. Jerry can play his, then Michael can play his. It's all the game at the end of the day. You know how it goes. Oh, that's how you feel.

Well, shoot, this how I feel. My back hurt. I got to get a second opinion. So we can both play the same game. And I don't think Mike, Mike, I ain't going to fold no time soon. You know, if anything, honestly, if I was him, I wouldn't play week. one. I wouldn't play week one. You're trying to

gain some of that Emmett Smith leverage. Yeah. So you go out there, you're playing the Eagles. You need all hands on debt for one to be playing the defending Super Bowl champions, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Your best player not playing? Okay. Jerry, you got your ego. You don't want to pay me? Cool. Let's see what you do without me. And don't go out there week two. You play the Giants and you start the season

over two. Oh, no. Oh, no. oh no listen to me it adds a little pressure on jerry i got to do something i got to do something when you start out the whole oh one-two boy listen them fans over there not that he cares or the media or the or the pundits piling on top of the cowboys you're allowing your ego to get away and you well i don't i don't think winning is winning is on the horizon it's not his first thought when it comes to him being the owner, it's about lining the pockets and making as much as possible. So it, I mean, you ain't one in 30 years, so it probably won't, it probably won't hurt.

It won't hurt them until it hurts his pockets. Yeah, but he's going to have to get a doctor to sign off. So he'll get a doctor's note, say, hey, tell him my back type. I mean, it's hard because a lot of daughters lie all over bad. You got to be putting my credibility on the line. You got me put my credibility note alive, man. But Micah, so there's nothing to him going to Green Bay. It's just a rumor circulating.

He was in the airport going to get a second opinion on his back. Jaguars, rookie wide receiver quarterback, Travis Hunter, is ready to play both ways in week one against the Panthers. Although Hunter was held out of some training camp practices and the final preseason game because of injury, Jaguars James Gladstone says Hunter is now full speed on the practice field. he's on the grass today and he's rolling full speed. We expect him to be who we know him to be

and that's somebody that impacts both sides of the football. We can't wait to see that on Sundays and one Monday night this season. Man, how did you ask you guys get a Monday game? Who asked them for that? How did they get a Monday game? Boy, Brian Tom and Jr., Trevor Lawrence, ATN. Again, how did they get a Monday night game?

I just don't know. With all those guys you just named, how many games they went last year? Anything about that? They got box office. They got box office players that people want to see. They're in Jacksonville. Jacksonville.

Who? Jacksonville. The players. People want to see. Jacksonville. Travis Hunter, box office. Brian Tom and Jr., box office. Yeah, we want to, I want to see that.

We want to see that. We tune in. You want to see Pavarot? You want to see Potipa, Padre at the Opera House? Or you want to see him in Jacksonville? You know what? As long as he's singing, I'm paying for it.

There's a reason why there's a reason why there are memorable events the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. There's Michael at Wembley Stadium. There's a reason. Talk to me. Vinues matter. Right, well, talk to me. Let me tell you something.

Venues matter, but when certain people are going to be there, I'm paying for it regardless. Bejonesse, look, hey, check me out. Beyonce, let's say, at the Hard Rock Stadium, where the Dolphins play. Yeah. She's going to sell it out. Well, hell,

if you're going to sell it out. Which is small and only sits 5,000. It's still going to sell out. Yeah. But Trevor Lawrence and Brian Thomas Jr. ain't Beyonce. I know, but I'm trying to give you a little perspective. I don't, yeah.

Because if I feel like, if I feel like the way I look at it, this is what I look at it. And you tell me what you think. If Beyonce goes to and performs that, The House of Blues. Come on. I'm going to feel that's more special because that's an intimate setting. That's not what she normally performed.

Right. She normally performs at arenas, $8,000. I'm just one of them. She performs somewhere at $5,000. Oh, that's intimate. Yeah. Oh, I know Beyonce. Oh, hey, man, where are you going?

Man, Beyonce pulling the house. But how do you get tickets? Don't worry about that. Yeah. But see, so what does that tell you? So that me, that tells you that it's an intimate setting Monday night because of Brian Thomas Hunter and the world wants to see it.

I want to see it. So the NFL understand. I will watch him on Sunday. How do we create these eyes? Yeah, I think it has more to do with Travis. Honestly, I think it has more to do with him, potentially playing both ways. Because normally the one thing they always assured

was you had to play a Thursday night game. Everybody had to play a Thursday night game. Or a Thursday game, Thursday night, they, cowboys normally play two. They normally play Thanksgiving and then they probably play the following Thursday. With that being said, I'm anxious to see what he looks like on both sides of the bar.

Don't jump on our bandwagon either. Who? The Jaguars. Oh, that's your team now? No, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm my receivers, my receivers. Brian Thomas Jr., Travis Hunt, them, them my people. They're my people. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. And we might, we might win the AFC South. So where Houston going to go? Who? The Texans. Shoot, Area 29. Ocho!

What's up? Travis Hunter and his wife, Lena. Hey, got some great news. They're just an out. They're having a son. Hey! Does fatherhood? change your mentality on how you play the game

and who you do it for? A little bit in a sense. Obviously, once you have a child, you want to play. And especially when the baby's so young, it's kind of different. When the baby that young, you know, you just, obviously,

you keep the main thing, the main thing, and want to be able to provide, you know, for said child. But my view in general on the game, obviously, with me having, you know, 374 kids, it really never changed. I just always kept the main thing the main thing and wanted to be greeted my craft in general.

Craft. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's dope, man. Did they have the baby or she's pregnant? She's pregnant. Okay, yeah, that's dope. That's live. That's live.

Because I think the thing is on your girlfriend, you're like, hey, damn, I wish we could have had these in the offseason. Hmm. It is what it is. But I was very fortunate. My girlfriend at a time, she was like, hey, you got to be. go to work. I got this.

Yeah. Okay. Simple. Um, congratulations, Trave and Leanna. That's dope. New parents, married, new parents.

Put his mind at ease, you know, hey, I think there's something to be said for a guy that's married and get to come home if it's happy. You know, obviously, obviously, Ojo, if married, a girlfriend,

Manat, you bickering and going back and boy, you don't want to come home. Yeah, that's rough. That's rough. That's rough. That's rough. Hold on. They had the baby?

Did they had the baby or they have of the baby? What he? Oh, they, oh, they already are you? had it. Oh, man, that's, that's, oh, okay, okay. Hey. Oh, so she was pregnant. So I guess he was pregnant, welcome, welcome to baby boy. Oh, a baby boy. Okay. Yeah, I guess you, I guess she was pregnant when she got married. Oh, that's love. Hey, a, hey, a trav. I know you going to see this boy. Hey, listen, holl at your boy. Baby, I didn't know. I didn't, because a lot, you know, a lot of, a lot of women don't want, don't want to be, I don't want to be pregnant with

know, am I wearing it? Right, right. You know what I'm saying? They want, they wear the dress to be. They want that thing to be perfect. They ain't trying to be pregnant. But, hey, congrats. Well, congratulations on the birth of your first child, Travis, and Leanna.

Congratulations. Hopefully it's a healthy baby boy. Much success on the field. And a happy home to you two guys. And if you need, if you need, I'll let's a boy, you know. But I didn't, I didn't been there about 37 times. I got a nursing program, too. You know, I got a nursing program for kids.

Ray John Rondo is dominating a rec league in flag football as a quarterback. Check out this video, Ocho. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I want to question.

Oh, I want to question the, the level of competition that I'm seeing here on film. Yeah, he's the top right flag football in the country. Not throwing the underhand. I want to see, I need to see the competition. I need to see him against some better competition.

You know, them look like, you know, you know, Amazon drivers, you know, everybody taking a break, they off work and they're out there just playing flag. But, you know, Ray John is an athlete. You can play a little bit of everything. Oh, Joe. cracker bow logo is back to us original the cracker bow logo after a viral issue of the company

being too woke yeah if crack uh uh oh cho so if crack about go back to their old you know they had the guy on on the barrel in the i think he's leaning on the rocking chair right he was in the rocking chair leaning on the barrel yeah yeah yeah so if cracker bow is going back to their og logo what NFL team should go back to their OG logo. Oh, that's a good one right there. The Bengals go back to the...

Y'all got the same logo! Stay with me real quick, huh? Oh, they had the Bengals. They didn't have the strike. They had the Bengals written across the hill. Yeah, go back to that. And obviously, especially with the jerseys, with the jerseys, go back to the... Remember the Leapin Tiger? Yeah.

Leapin Tiger used to be the logo, obviously, they went to the strikes, but I think the Leapin Tiger uniform and bringing those back would be really dope. When I think about old, well, I mean, most teams, obviously, they have alternate uniform, I mean, alternate uniforms. Yeah. Which is, they already have their old logo.

Now, I think about it. What else? That's pretty much it. I like the old Bengals uniform with the leap and tiger from back in the 80s and 90s. Outside that, when it went back to this Cracker Barrel thing, I'm confused. Why were people so upset about the logo? Was it offensive or something? Well, they changed it.

So in other words, they just had Cracker Bow. They had removed the man sitting in the rocking chair with his elbow on the drum. Excuse me, the battle. So I guess people that like Cracker Bow said, hey, leave that long. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Who was that man harmed? Hold on. So people complaining about the logo and the food is still the same?

Have they ever had the Mama's Breakfast? Have you ever had the Mama's Breakfast at Cracker Barrow or the Pancakes? I've had the pancakes. I don't care about no damn logo. Is the food? But they do. They do. Man, people are so finity.

And look, and don't try to look. Don't try to prove no point. Don't be like, you know, some companies want to prove a point. And then, you know, you had taken, they lost the value, had lost $143 million I had read, maybe even more. Just go back. Of a logo? Yes, over a logo.

Damn. Yeah, I listen. Look. people is funny what people find offensive pride in or or don't want to let go of the same thing some people feel about these Confederate monuments yes put them back up me look oh oh too look like like I give you probably example like like I guess to Antimima oh oh that was my girl man it tastes it I mean I mean I I'm like, man, I ain't buying this syrup.

Man, look at Antimon. I ain't, I don't, I ain't look at it like that. I mean, I ain't. I ain't, now one time I go in the store and say, I'm not buying no Ms. Butterworth or I ain't buying no Antimama or that other stuff because that's just me, oh, I don't get too caught up and stuff like that. But, hey, obviously some people do and to each their own, to each their own. They wanted to make a big deal out of it. Because it wasn't going to stop me from going to Crackerbell.

If I'm hungry and I'm driving, obviously, I don't think there's any Crackerbell. And then the Cracker Bows in Vegas, Jordan? Nah, there ain't no Cracker Bails in Vegas. But I'm saying, and let's just say for the sake of argument, I can't remember, I haven't driven more than an hour and probably, oh my God, I don't know how long. But if I, let's just say, for the sake of argument, I'm in Atlanta and I was driving somewhere and I got a taste for Cracker Bound,

I'm going to stop by it. Whether the logo, the man in the rocket chair with his arm on a barrel or not. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Listen. Hey, I don't, I, chat, I don't know if anybody in the chat, obviously, you know, I eat all the simpler, finer things in life. Cracker Barra right here off. Long with the biscuits and gravy, good, I'm stopping.

Hey, man, period, man, that mama's breakfast, two eggs scrambled. That's what y'all say. Side of sausage. I don't know if it's the butter. I don't know if it's the batter in the pancakes or whether it's the syrup that's so goddamn good. Man, stop playing. Look. Hey, man, and stop going.

You know, man, a cracker bear now. bro if you go to a place like that you're not going to eat no tofu you're going to eat sausage pancakes uh uh bacon you're going to eat waffles you're going to eat biscuits and gravy that's what you're going for oh hold on speaking of biscuits and you probably don't do it i'm just saying what i do when i go to crack a barrel i know the syrup is in the little container tell them take the syrup pour it warm it up pour in the little cup tell them to warm the warm the syrup up and you dip the biscuits in the syrup, you never did that, huh?

Mm-mm. I like biscuits and gravy. I like, man, there's something about the biscuits and gravy, man. And that biscuits and syrup, biscuits dip the biscuit in the syrup, man, before your meal come.

I was there. I was there, too, so it should be an easy answer. No. I know they ain't played at the Silver Dome. That wasn't even thought about being built. Tiger Stadium. Tiger Stadium, that answer is incorrect. The answer you were looking for is the University of Detroit Stadium.

The game was playing. on September 23rd, 1934. I sat in the second row. The Lions beat the New York Giants, 9-0. 9-0. No, I never got that one. Yeah, you're not going to get this one. You gave me multiple charts.

I wouldn't have got that one. You ain't going to get this one either. Here we go. Who was the first Lions player ever to win the NFC defensive player of the week award? Who was the first Lions player ever to win the NFC

defense of the player of the week award? Ooh, my goodness. Pat Swillings. Pat Swillings. That's a good answer. That's a good try, but it's not Pallick's Pat Swillings. The answer you were looking for was Michael Koffer. Michael Koffer won the award in week eight in the 1984 season.

Wow. Yes, yes, yes. I was there for that, too. Now, this will be a little bit more updated for you, so you shouldn't get this one wrong. I'm throwing your bone here. In 2003, jersey number three was worn by whom? I'm throwing your bone here just to give you one to get you acclimated

to getting one right. John Kittner, I don't know. That is absolutely wrong. The fact that you don't know this lets me know you don't know football all the way I do. The jersey number three in Detroit was won by none other than Oregon. Joey Harrington.

Joey Harrington, Joey Harrington, who had drafted third overall by the Detroit Lions in 2000 grab. I can't believe I meant that one. Yeah, you should have, you should have known that one. Here we go. I should have, oh, Joe, damn. I know, I know how you feel.

I know how you feel. The Lions missed out on all of the first 37 Super Bowls during that span, how many time did they appear in the NFC championship game? The first 37? The Lions missed out on all the first 37 Super Bowls. During that span, how many time did they appear in the NFC championship game? And I help you out. One, 1991.

Yeah, 91. Yeah, you are correct. 1991 season. They lost 4110 to the Washington. They loved to Washington Commander. They were the team,

that team, but they're not the commanders. Yes. Okay. Actually, they beat the Cowboys to advance to the NOSC Championship.

I was there for that game. Jersey number 37 was worn by which Detroit line during the 1995 season. It should be easy. Oh, my God.

It should be. It ain't. He has a college board named after. after him. It should be easy. He had a college, what? Award named after him. I'm throwing your bone because I want you to get, I want you to get more than one right. I'm throwing your bone.

Jersey number 37 was worn by which Detroit line during the 1955 season. And there is a collegiate award. award named after this individual. Bronco Nogerski? No. The answer you were looking for was Doak Walker. Doak won the Heisman Trophy in 1948 out of Southern Methodist University. Yes of you.

Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you got one right now. We tied again, Ocho. Huh? I won. What do you talk about? I won.

Hey. Hey. I got to see. We got to pull the tape. Oh, come on. They don't start. They don't start cheat. Don't you.

I got to pull the tape. Don't you. I just want you all to know. No, I'm playing this one under protests. Don't cheat me. I'm playing under the protest. You can't cheat. You can't cheat.

The fact that I had to transition and go from spoken word, which was well thought out, well thought of, and then transition into spelling is very difficult. Very, very difficult. The last segment of the evening

is time for Q and A. Oh, man, I felt good tonight. Well, I just, no. I got to take a minute. Cameron Northwood, Jr., my question is, Ocho, if the Bengals make it to the Super Bowl, who would the NFC team be playing? Who would the NFC team be?

They're playing against, and what's the score? You know, that's a good question. I think it's our time. I think this year is our year. And the team they would probably play. It would probably be the Eagles. We'll probably be the Eagles. I think the Eagles are the strongest

NFC team from top to bottom on both sides of the ball. So that's a dream of mine. I like that. So Bengals, Eagles, Super Bowl, San Francisco, I'll see you there. Then 2-1-0-0-night cap. I know it's way too early,

but who do you guys have going to the Super Bowl? I just told. Now, I know they just heard me say the Bengals and the Eagles going to be in the Super Bowl. I guess I can take one of my two teams. I can take the Ravens or the Broncos. The who?

Ravens or the Broncos. It might be playing each other for the AFC championship game. Now, you just heard me tell him who the AFC team was going to be in the Super Bowl. That ain't happening. That ain't happening. That's not happening. You know what?

Hold on. We're going to say that we're going to make our picks We'll make our picks on Monday No, Wednesday, next Wednesday because the game is next Thursday. So we're going to make our picks next Wednesday before the game. Dr. Frank L. Bellamy, hey, fam, do you think Michael Irvin could be a guest one night

and help defend my Cowboys? Ocho, would you have been a referee because with all the energy and testosterone between you, Mike, somebody liable to pass out? Yes. We can have Mike on. Mike is a very good friend of mine. He's a great guy.

Yeah, we get him on. We'll do that. We'll get him on one night. OG underscore Thanos, who's under more pressure to reach the Super Bowl? Ravens or the Bills? Which is heavy. A turn of bricks or a ton of feathers?

That's a good one. They weigh the same. They're both. Because now you've got MVP winning quarterbacks. Your team is back healthy. you upgraded you got a cookback you upgraded with Johnston

at Y receiver Shaquille the Shakir is back hey and Ravens Ravens got no excuse the Ravens have absolutely no excuse Rock Surge

would you ever interview Richard Hart he's a billionaire that created four projects on blockchain hex, pulse chain, pulse X, and his sin is token. He also defeated the SEC recently. I have no earthly idea who that is.

You know who that is? I don't even know if my audience would know who he is, but I might need to do some research on him. If he created all them projects, maybe I can create me something. See how he did it. Jay Breezy, do you think the Saints are tanking for Archie? We have zero quarterback to stand behind and so many other missing pieces.

As a lifelong Saints fan, I'm hoping it doesn't take a decade to get a team going. No, I don't think they're going to tank. They're going with Spencer Rattler. Spencer Rattler. They opened it up. He and Shook. They battled it out. They feel more comfortable.

Kelly Moore feels very comfortable with Spencer Rattler at the helm. We'll see how long he can keep him off. I don't think he has a short leash I think Kellyn Moore understands that to play that position you can't play it with someone looking over your shoulder

so I expect him to not make a decision based on booze based on what's being written in the paper because he understands that's a very difficult position to play and you still have a young quarterback so I don't think they're taking

for Archie Manning. Well, yeah, Arch Manning. I don't think they're thanking for him. Bro, can y'all see if the guy can play? Damn. Y'all won't let the man play? Damn, let it play before we start talking about first one overall pick.

Now, they had a nice little squad over there, but man, Chris Henry Jr. I saw Matt, they was on TV, on ESPN on. Yeah. Didn't it be St. Thomas Aquinas? Man, Chris Henry Jr. went off, boy. Man, he went crazy out there, man. Zacharad Harris said,

oh, give Ocho one more word. If he gets it wrong. He eats an egg. He eats the viral Balat egg live. What is that? A what? I mean, he's acting like that's right.

Maybe, Debbie, damn it. This stuff, I don't know nothing about, man. It ain't, it ain't nothing I won't eat. So I'm sure that's right. That's not even right. Yeah, we know that. Junior underscore cool cat. What's up, Ocanocho?

Just had to put my dog down earlier. He was my baby boy. What's some advice you have for during this grieving time? Bro, I ain't got no advice, bro. That ain't hurt. I ain't only lie to you. You never going to get over it. You're just going to get better at dealing with it.

Man, that pain, boy. Hey, even though, and the thing is that, like, once you make a decision to put the dog down and you realize that you're only keeping the dog alive for you and not for it because it's suffering, man, I hurt even worse, man. Man, you talk about hurt. Oh, there.

is right there. A balut egg is a fertilized duck egg embryo popular in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia that is boiled or steamed and eaten from a small shell, from the shell. The process involves sipping the savory broth

around the developing chick before eating the yolk and the embryo with a... Nah, yeah, Ocho. You ain't gonna do that. That ain't nothing. Can you see it? No, I can't see it. But it That ain't nothing. All I heard is embryo and sucking. I'm good. I got it. I'm good. That ain't

nothing. Listen, I've been around the world and had delicacies from all cultures, frog legs, chocolate covered ants. I mean, what's that? That's nothing. I thought it was some type of challenge.
