We can't wait for 2024 because we have an idea of what we're supposed to do now, Ocho. And so 2024 is going to be bigger, better, and now we're off and running. So let's get to the game right there that just ended. Packers beat the Vikes. They go to Minnesota, beat them 33-10. The Packers end the season, 2023 season with a bang. Jordan Love looked very good, 24-33.

356, three pass touchdowns, a quarterback rating of 125. Jaden Reed, six catches, 89 yards, two TDs, Bo Melton six catches, 105 and a touchdown. The Packers that young pay. And that's without Watson who, who many believe is their best receiver. Romeo Dobbs didn't get a whole lot involved tonight, but they got another young receiver in Heath.

And then you throw Jane Reed melting on top of that that they've got a nice young core of wide receivers and we see you see aaron jones come back run the football effectively we know he can catch it he's a swiss army knight he can catch it he can run it he's great in blitz pick up uh big dylan the big bruising back to get you tough short yardage i like what the Packers possess offensively moving forward, and the defense is only going to get better. So they go in, keep their slim playoff hopes alive, 33-10 by beating the Minnesota Vikings. What did you like about what you saw from the Pack?

Listen, the Packers, first of all, with the win next week, the Packers can obviously clinch a playoff spot if they beat the Bears next week. But offensively, what I saw from them with the ability to run the ball, what I like to call thunder and lightning as a pair of running backs. They do have Aaron and excuse me, my brother Aaron and Mr. Dillon being able to do. They have two different running styles, but they get it done differently. They have two different running styles, but they get it done differently. I like calling them thunder and lightning. One is quick and fast, and one is a bruising back that can bleed the clock for you.

When you're able to run the ball the way that they did tonight, that's why the passing game was so successful. That's why it was so successful. Then you have all the young bulls, the young bulls that are answering the call at every time they throw the ball. Jordan Love has to be not licking his chops. I'm trying to think of the word and really understanding that. In regards to who he goes to, they always come in the clutch form every time. Deep balls, short balls, intermediate balls, everything was working for them boys tonight simply because the running game was that successful.

Yeah, Ocho, you have to feel very good. If'm if i'm the uh the packers front office uh brian gutekin oh yeah who's the gm uh mark murford who's the ceo of the packers you have to feel good with where you are i don't think they're going to have a problem extending jordan love considering when you look at these plethora of young receivers that he have and i I think he's shown you you made the right decision. Aaron gave you 17, 18 great years. There's nothing to feel sad about. It was time for him to move on. It was time for you guys to move on.

He's in the Jets, and hopefully he can overcome that Achilles injury and get back on the field next year, and let's see what he can do for the Jets. But if I'm the Green Bay Packers right i love where i am with jordan love these young receivers uh aaron jones ran the ball extremely well you mentioned uh aj dylan uh taylor ran the ball they had 150 150 177 they had almost 190 yards rushing so anytime you get 190 yards rushing and your quarterback 30 24 33 because now we're going to throw the ball when we want to throw it you're not dictating when we're not behind we're not behind the sticks and you force us to throw the ball we throw it when we're ready area of the

field down the distance when we're ready because we have that kind of confidence in our offense so the uh the packers look very good um i thought the vikings would give a little bit more fight than what they put up but you're on your field to fix especially especially this is the funny thing about it this is this is weird to me usually when it's a division opponent sometimes the game goes very seldom is it lopsided and one-sided like it was tonight because you're familiar with what they're going to do you know obviously when you play a division opponent you throw in a different wrinkle or two. Most of the time, it's the same stuff, just

different formation sets and little, I call it salad dressing, to throw them off. But you're familiar with a team that you're playing, that you see twice a year and for it to be one-sided throughout the entirety of the game until what? The last few minutes when the Vikings were able to score in garbage time?

Again, the quarterback carousel doesn't make it no better. It doesn't make it no better. Obviously, you start with – what's the first quarterback's name? Kirk Cousins. Yeah. No, not Kirk. Yeah, Kirk. Not Kirk.

He tore the Achilles. I mean, no, the one who started the first half. Oh, you're talking about Mullins. And then they switched. You're talking about Mullins. Mick Mullins. Yeah. And it just

Justin Jefferson did what he could. He did what he could do. They tried to get in the ball. He wasn't as efficient. I mean, we can't have a one-man show. That ain't gonna never work. They have a one-man show. They couldn't run the ball efficiently. And obviously, the offense sputtered. I can see the frustration on Justin Jefferson's face.

But I think he'll be fine next year. Oh, now you like that. I like I like it. But again, I prefer the Steelers for him just based on history and what they've been able to do when it when it comes to playoffs and Super Bowl wins. But other than that, in Minnesota, I think they're going to be fine as long as they make sure they take care of the quarterback position because right now they don't have an answer it's a rarity that you can have your starting quarterback go down and then the backup comes in and he plays really well for an extended period of time right um cincinnati has to feel very good with the showing even though they lost today but i think jake browning has acquitted

himself very well uh he's gonna he's showing that I'm able to stick around. I can make plays, give them an opportunity. And he picked up some plays with his legs because, you know, the thing is Joe is pretty athletic also. So I'm not going to say Joe wouldn't have or couldn't have picked up those plays because Joe is more athletic than you think. But you see today Jake Browning didn't have a problem tucking the ball. I think he got like three first down on five scrambles.

But at the end, his offensive line just couldn't hold up, and they sacked him like five of the last six possessions, a drop-back pass attempt. So Green Bay keep their playoffs hopes alive, 33-10 over the Minnesota Vikings. I'm going to get to the David Tepper incident, but let's go to the Ravens because I think over the last couple of weeks, they've been the most impressive. And I don't think

if you look at the stretches they've had, even when San Francisco beat the Brakes off the Cowboys, they went to the Eagles and beat the Brakes off them. They went to Jacksonville and they beat some teams. But if you look at what the Ravens have done, they did a demolition job.

Hold on. Let me find this game up here. It right there. You know, you don't feel like the minority report when you drop. This is the second best team. Now remind me, remember now they went on the road last week and beat the number one team by

14. This is the second best team in the AFC. And they dropped 50. Right. Offensively. Offensively. They're the second best team in the AFC. You said Miami Dolphins were the second best team in the AFC.

That's what you've been telling me for the last six weeks. Offensively. Offensively, yes. So where did they rank as a team in the AFC before you saw Baltimore do what they did today? Where would you rank Miami? Because that's not what you've been saying. Go ahead.

Well, remember, I've been ranking the Miami Dolphins extremely high because of Tua, Tyreek, and what they've been able to do offensively. The defense is okay. It's okay. It's not the type of defense like Baltimore has where there's no weak link anywhere. Well, whoever has a complete team there's only what I mean you have to look at San Francisco to say there is complete from top to bottom is the Baltimore Ravens yeah and you saw you saw the Ravens but we had Miami and everybody's power ranking polls the Miami Dolphins were the third best team or no worse than fourth of all the teams ranked. Now, in the AFC,

they were second best. And they just got 56 hung on them. Yeah, man. And so, you look at Baltimore. You look at what they did to Detroit. You look at what they did to Seattle. You look at what they did to San Francisco. You look at what they did to Miami.

This is a team that you don't want to fool with because they can run it. You look at what they did to San Francisco. You look at what they did to Miami. This is a team that you don't want to fool with because they can run it. You look at what they had. Gus Edwards, 16 rushes, 66 yards. Hill, three rushes, 45 yards. Lamar Jackson, six for 35. Melvin Gord even got into the action. He only had 10 yards.

That long of seven, but he got a touchdown. Lamar Jackson, 15 to 21, 3 321 five touchdowns a perfect q back rating the that's his third one on yeah this season this is the third one of his career in general in general okay okay same as peg manning the same as tom brady right the same as kurt warner all those guys are retired so lamar jackson has an opportunity it's something about miami because he had another perfect quarterback rating against miami you remember he opened up the season in 2019 when he won the mvp 19 he threw for

five touchdowns yeah that season and so it's something about miami maybe he's like man y'all should have took me maybe it's he know all the homies and the family he's from that area they're watching him play right and so he put on the show but the Ravens the Ravens put everybody on notice last week with what they did now yeah they have everybody's undivided attention Ocho because Monday night you know everybody they ain't no other game on so they did what they did to the 49ers many believe that was the best team in football and they beat them by two touchdowns. Now we come and everybody has started to feel good about the Dolphins because they had just beat the Cowboys. And bro, you got 56 dropped on you.

Yeah. Yeah. And listen, it's different. It's different. I don't know how to explain it. It's something about the Ravens. Obviously, defense that AFC North, they play a different kind of football. They play a different kind of football defensively.

I'm going to just start there. They play a different kind of football defensively. Then on the flip side of things, the supporting cast that Lamar Jackson has now, the year that he won the MVP in 2019, it's that much better. The onus in having to have success offensively is it is it it isn't all on his shoulders Bateman coming through Zay Flowers going crazy Odell making clutch catches doing what we're used to seeing him do and the running game is efficient as well so it's like there's a balance of everything and then lamar he dropping back to pass and only running when he has to because everything else around him is efficient and

working really well and then the defense is playing phenomenal football man oh joe you look at what they did give todd monk and a lot of credit um the way he's come in he's uh put lamar in a system where lamar feels very very comfortable we know lamar has legs we know the ravens can run the football but now it's a lot of five man out it's not dependent on the tight end um even though and i think some of the best the best thing and you hate to see mark andrews go out but it forced lamar to focus a little bit more on his receivers now he still has likely that can go make plays for him that one hand catch on fourth down to end up being a touchdown because it was a tremendous catch and run by him but now they have receivers you look at a zay flower three catches 106 yards 75 yards just

crazy i love what todd munkin did they got the running back matched up on the linebacker. Go ahead. Hold on, hold on. Somebody having a kid problems. But the Ravens, man, they look good. The Ravens, ladies and gentlemen, the Ravens have won six straight games since week 11, since a week 11 home loss to the Cleveland Browns. And when you look at what they've done, they beat the number one team in the NFC, the number Browns. And when you look at what they've done, they beat the number one team in the NFC,

the number one team. I mean, what the Ravens are doing, there's a difference between beating teams and beating teams up. Hey, baby, why you crying? What did he do? Say hi. what did what did he do say hi how you still up this time of night go play go play with sissy

and with I was telling the listeners in the chat, I said there's a difference between beating teams and then beating teams up. They're beating teams up. They're physically. And that's the one thing about the Ravens. If you beat the Ravens, you got to out physically.

And they ain't cute. They ain't going to do all that razzle dazzle. They ain't got a whole bunch of trick plays. They line up and they punch you in the mouth. And then you better punch them back. Right in the mouth. And you know what the funny thing about it is the AFC North has always been like that. It's always been like that.

I always call it a two-chance draft game. Anytime we had to play a division opponent, we had to play the Steelers, we had to play the Browns, we had to play the Ravens. You got to bring your hard hat. You got to bring your hard hat because all that playing pretty and hitting people

and getting up and tapping them on the shoulder, ain't none of that. It's personal for some reason. It's personal every time you play them boys and it showed today. It's a very physical game.

You know when the game flipped? When the Dolphins had to settle for that field goal, Tyreek had a touchdown and he bobbled it in the sun. Yeah. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right. And listen, the game started on a real dog.

I thought it was going to be a scoring fest back-to-back, and I tweeted it out. I said, you know what? The Dolphins scored. I said, you know what? The Ravens are going to go back and answer. The Ravens are going to go down and answer, because it always happens like that when a game starts out

until the defenses settle in. and then from that point on it become the chess match between the coordinators i'm gonna put my pieces in a better position to beat your pieces and you go from there then after tyreek after tyreek bobbed that ball and they had to get a field goal man it was it was it was a runaway train from that point on started turning the ball over you know uh oh so you know you and i we kept those receipts right you know and we keep receipts everybody keep a receipt you don't ever say he had a good game i keep receipts i keep receipts okay right baltimore say we kept receipts too these two right right you know on two of those interceptions i don't know why,

but every time the Dolphins line up in that tight split with the receiver, like, on the outside, add to the numbers on both sides, it's the same bang eight every time. The bang eight like you used to run. Yes, baby. Okay. Okay. Okay.

I got you. Yeah, every time. And both times it ran the bang eight from the tight split. It was an interception. Because all they're going to do is they're going to fake it. And they're going to try to hit. They're going to try to hit. And Roquan made a great play on the ball.

Roquan, he followed the eyes the first time. And the second time it was another pick. And even if he did complete it, it would be intercepted. Because the DB was right there on it. He ran the route. And they were bothering T tour because tool was high. He got, he almost got Tyreek hurt on that sideline.

So we overthrew him and Tyreek trying to make him play on the ball. Yeah. So he, he was really high today. People are bringing up Lamar stat. Lamar Jackson is tied for 10th and passing touchdowns. 24. He's ranked 13th and passing yards,

three, 3,678. Only two quarterbacks have ever won the MVP while finishing outside of the top five in both categories. Steve McNair did in 2003 and Bart Starr in 1966.

But I think because the Ravens have been so good and Lamar Jackson has been his, he's not going to have 40 touchdowns, ladies and gentlemen. He's not going to throw for 45. The offense isn't even built

like that anyway. But what he's done, because when you go back and look at the lions are going to the playoff they're the number they're they're uh they're the third seed in the nfc he took them apart it looks like seattle has a chance to make the playoffs he took them apart the 49ers are the number one seed he took them apart miami has this has an opportunity to win the division and be the number two seed. He took them apart. Miami has an opportunity to win the division and be the number two seed in the AFC. He took them apart. So when you look at his body of work and the teams

that he did a number on, I don't know who else you can give the MVP to. You have to give it to him because obviously we were talking Purdy. We were screaming Purdy. We were screaming Purdy. We were screaming Purdy. Then we were screaming Dak. I thought the 49ers looked like

a team that wasn't going to lose. I almost had them locked to go to Vegas and win in Lombardi based on the way they were playing offensively and the way they were playing defensively. I'm like, ain't no way in hell anybody going to beat them. Then I think about then the Ravens come into town. Oh my

goodness. It's almost as if they don't even belong on the field with them boys. That's what it looked like. They dominated on both sides of the ball. All three phases of the game. They dominated offense. They dominated special teams and they dominated on defense. Then they come back again

and do the same thing today to the Dolphins. See, the Dolphins got questions though, because you remember earlier in the season, they went on the road to Buffalo, and Buffalo dropped a 50-bomb on them. After they had just dropped 70 on the Broncos. And I was like, ah. Now, it kind of eased people's mind a little bit

because they beat the Cowboys because that was at home, and that's the only team that they beat with a winning record. But now you have to have even more questions than answers because they went on the road and they didn't, they didn't look like they belong in forget in the same book. They don't even belong on the same shelf as the Ravens. The Ravens took them apart outside of the first quarter. The game was never,

was never close. I don't think it was in anybody's mind. I doubt in anyone's mind that the Ravens were going to win this game. The question was how much now I did. I picked the Ravens to win this game. The question was how much. Now, I picked the Ravens to win this game. I didn't think that. I don't think anybody had a 56-19 no joke. No, no, no, no, no, no, not by that much. Obviously

with as efficient as the Dolphins offense has been all season long, I expect it to be a shootout, a continuous shootout. Kind of like last year. Me giving the in. Week two last year, it ended up being what? 42, 45, 38, something like that?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, but what the Raven defense was able to do, they were able to make Tua uncomfortable. They were able to get him off his spot. So he couldn't sit and make some of the throws, being that he's a timing passer, and that offense relies on timing a lot but he wouldn't he would his timing was thrown off the entire time because of the defense and

they did a great job uh uh and they did this without marlon humphrey for a large part of the game because he went out like the first second series and so they were able to do this uh without hump um yeah the dolphins got some questions so now uh the question is what miami dolphins team is going to show up at home because the winner of the buffalo miami that's who's going to win the division yeah you you think you think after heck after getting the 50 burger i call it 50 burger after they got had a 50 burger hung on the first time there's no way in hell they allow the bills to come in town and hang another 50 burger on them again so this is a game that they have to win because this is this is as close to the playoffs as you're going to get because either the type of team that you're

going to play is a division opponent you know them very very well and i don't think it'll be a high scoring game as it was the first time but you got it you got to show up you got to show up the the offensive line has to give to a time to throw the step into a throws they got the move tyreek around brother wilson has to show up robbie anderson brother claypool jaylen waddle will be back as well and i think they'll be fine hope uh mostard who has i think maybe a knee or maybe an ankle problem they should have the their entire squad back for that game so they should be fine uh a chan um ran the ball extremely well he was uh 14 carries 107 yards so they they were they were

more than adequate in the run game but kind of when you fall behind you're at the mercy of the pass game so now you got to pass to try to get back into the ball game the ravens know you have to pass the football so now they're really pressuring Tua and he's not a guy he's not very mobile he can slide a little bit but he's not a guy that you you're afraid of taking off that he jumps out the window he's gonna take off and kill you with his leg uh yeah the uh Buffalo beat him for if I'm not mistaken I think the score was 48 20 the question is which quarterback is going to take better care of the football both of these quarterback has a propensity of turning the ball over josh they got lucky today that they were playing the new england patriots and bailey zappy turned the ball over three times in like four

possessions and then josh allen let them right back in the game by turning the ball over himself we saw two both of these guys have a propensity they can have anywhere between one and four turnovers at the drop of a hat. You turn the ball over multiple times. That's the team that's going to probably end up losing the game. And so it's going to be very interesting to see which team can take care of the football the best and make, cause that's the team that's going to win this division. Yeah. I mean, the fact that they are playing that last game at home here in Miami at hard rock, I think that might give them the edge a little bit it might give them the edge a little bit finishing off the right way obviously knowing you're going to the playoffs the implications that are at stake in this game you got to show up and play good football and protect the ball

and i'm sure i'm sure tua knows that mike medano is going to stress that to him throughout the entirety of this the eagles lose to theinals. The Cardinals had the easiest closing football schedule, had the easiest closing schedule in football according to ESPN Power Football Index. They just needed wins over the Cardinals, 4-12, the New York Giants, 5-11, to secure the NFC East title for the second consecutive year, something that hadn't been done, I think, since 2001 or 2000. It's been

like 20 years since a team have won back-to-back NFC East titles. Now the Cowboys are in the catbird seat. All they need to do is go to Washington, beat the Commanders, and they clinch the division, and they become the number two seed.

Yeah. What happened to the Eagles today? Because I saw your tweet. Eagles fans, do y'all want to listen to me now? Are you going to listen to me now? Or do you still think it's hate? Ocho, I told him three months ago. Oh, we winning.

You don't know what you're talking about. Shut up, big mouth. You just hating. OK? Now. I see. Because what was happening, Ochoe i was watching the game very closely and i'm telling what fans do they watch as long as the team scores or they get a sack and

they win they're happy but i'm looking at it with a little a a finer eye and i saw some things i said that defense isn't the same i said i said the thing is i said they can't I said now when Jalen Hurst started turning the ball he didn't he wasn't bad today he got they turned the ball over one time and and and Kyler Murray gave up a 99 yard pick six but this defense they can't take the ball away like they took it away last year and they don't run the ball like they ran it last year. So when you can't possess the football, if you got a bad unit, let's just say your defense is bad, and you can't run the football, you know what happens with

three and outs? You put that bad unit back on the field. They had to lead and Kyler Murray went down with ease and got a game-winning touchdown. With ease! So now you're going to have to, you know, you got a game-winning touchdown. With ease. So now you're going to have to, you know, you get a game

No. Hold on. You're going to be on the road. Yeah. Nah, they'll be a wild card. So they'll be the four seed. They'll be the five seed. Because only one team get a buy. The Cowboys win. They'll be the two seed. The Lions will be

the three seed. And who's going to be the four? 49 is one. They get to buy. The Cowboys win, they'll be the two seed. The Lions will be the three seed. Who's going to be the four? 49ers is one. They get to buy. Cowboys is two. Lions is three. The Bucs and the NFC South, the Bucs, the Saints or the Falcons will

be the four seed. So now the Lions are the five seed. Now, you feel pretty good because don't you think the Lionscons will be the four seed. So now the Lions are the five seed. Now you feel pretty good because don't you think the Lions can go on the road and beat the Bucs, can beat the Saints, can beat the Falcons? Right. Listen, you would think that, but, you know, come playoff time, this is, you know what it is. Any given Sunday, ain't no telling what's going to happen. You never know what team is going to show up. But the way Baker Mayfield has been playing, I wouldn't want to see the Bucs.

Man, he look bad today, old Chuck. I wouldn't want to see the Bucs. They look bad today. The Saints got after him. The Saints got after him. They got after him. Yeah. They got after him today and roughed him up a little bit.

He ended up losing the game. He ended up, excuse me, not losing the game, leaving the game. He took a vicious shot from the honey badger, Tyron Matthew, and he ended up having to leave the game. But the Eagles started the season 10-1. 10-1. Now they're 1-4 in the last five games. Last five games, yeah.

Do they have enough time to fix whatever the issues are obviously you know the defense we need we need sacks we need turnovers we need we need what we had last year offensively being able to establish the run to open up the pass to make it easier that way or do you think it's too late i was when they were full strength, I wasn't impressed with their back end because I thought their back end wasn't very good. And now Slay is out. Their back end isn't very good. They miss Gardner Johnson

because he could take the ball away. Now, I'm not impressed. The offensive line, they don't run. They're not as violent as they were last year in the run game. Yeah. And look,

I understand they did lose both coordinators. That's something to be saying. One of their coordinators went to Indy. The other coordinator went to the Cardinals. So that's something to be saying, but that's no excuse. You start 10 and one and you losing these games games but it wasn't a problem we didn't mention the coordinators when they was 10 and 1 ain't nobody mentioned nobody the coordinator did the

old joke right right right no not at all listen i don't i don't like really blaming the coordinators because there's a scheme that they come up with x's knows and it's up to the players to execute it regardless of what it is regardless of what it is um only team in 35 years to start a season 10 or one or better and finish the season with five plus plus losses and that's what the eagles are are staring at so it's going to be very interesting to see if they can bounce back and uh get this thing right on the right track but uh that's not going to be an easy victory at the giants because remember they struggled to beat struggled to beat the Giants two weeks ago. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, the NFL is funny. For some reason, at times, teams that are horrible, teams that have losing records, teams that haven't been playing good all year long, when it comes to the nut-cutting time, late in the season, where it should be an easy win. They always seem up either struggling against those teams that aren't very good or you end up losing playoff chances or hopes against teams that are trying to spoil your chance. Bro, misery loves company. I ain't going to the playoffs.

I want you to clean out your locker tomorrow, too. As a matter of fact, hey, what you got going on? What you got going on Monday, Tuesday? Because we both going to the playoffs. I want you to clean out your locker tomorrow too. As a matter of fact, hey, what you got going on Monday and Tuesday? Because we both going to be free. We going home. You going to be going home too. Hold on. Let me lay her down.

So it's going to be very interesting. I'm anxious to see how the Eagles, ladies and gentlemen, in the chat, how they play this out because there's some doubt. I know they're going to tell you, we got the people in this room. You better have them.

You can't have anybody. They didn't take anybody out. I get all that coach speak and, oh, are we still confident? No, you're not. No, you're not. Your confidence has been shaken because you started 10-1 and everybody had you as the front runner. They're going to repeat and yada, yada, yada. But it's not as simple as you think.

I'm anxious to see what Miami. I'm anxious to see Miami because there's a lot riding on it. The Cowboys have a chance to sort the number two seed and win the division. The Eagles, hey, we can win the game. Maybe Washington Springs a surprise. And then we get right back into the division and win the Eagles. Hey, we can win the game. Maybe Washington Springs is a surprise. And then we get right back into the division and win the division. So it's going to be very, very interesting to see

what we got. It's going to be very, very interesting to see what transpires next weekend. Right. Hey, man, look at this one here. What we're looking at? Hey, right.

Happy New Year, baby. Hold on. We got to look what I got to show. Yeah, baby. What you mean? We got to bring it.

I'm bringing in a new year. We're on. Okay. Okay. Y'all see that right there? That was bubbling. You hear the countdown? I can't hear.

You know what Ocho I'ma pour Ocho a glass y'all Alright alright That's good That's New Year Hold on let me say My little prayer now Let me take my head off.

Yes. Happy New Year. Hopefully 24 is 10 times better than 23. A lot of what we've been able to accomplish is directly because of you. You tuned in. You stayed in. You come for the football. You stay for the stories, and Ocho and I and the entire team at the volume

Nightcap, we greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to 2024 because we're going to be even better. Happy New Year, everyone. Yeah. Happy New Year, Chad. I love you. You know how I feel about you.

I appreciate that. I don't drink, I ain't drink. I love you. You know how I feel about you. I appreciate that. Just for me. I don't drink. I ain't drink. I don't drink no alcohol, but I tap. I appreciate that. Hey, Chad, just for you. When we hit that million sub, when we hit that million sub, trust me, I'm going to drink

some of that Cognac. I'm going to drink some of that Cognac now. Believe that. What is this? What you drinking on? That's on bubbly. Yeah. What bubbly mean?

That's a champagne. Oh, okay. Okay. It ain't a real, real. Maybe when we get a million subs, we break out the real stuff. Right. Ocho, so you know what?

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You can post over this on some toes, huh? That's what that is. You know, post over this. I can't get nobody. Nah, they ain't.

What's the name of that? We can't give them the name of that. They ain't paid. They got to pay for advertising on here, Ocho. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Listen, you know what you could? You know what you could pull over some toes?

That Cognac you be selling. You could pull something by that. Oh, you know what I'm saying, Ocho? What if I pull something down the back? You know what I'm saying, Ocho? And let it just run down. You know what? You know what? It goes downhill, right? Listen, now you not see, I like who you're

going with it. See 2024. We got a new Shannon sharp. Let me, you can pour it down her back. Right. And catch it. Catch it. As it go down,

down, down the crack, down the crack. Yeah. Yeah. That thing like a waterfall, huh? Yeah.

When TLC goes, don't go chasing waterfall. I'll buy the check. I'll buy the check. Yeah. There you go. There you go. I like where you're going with it this year. I like this new Shannon. 20-20 fold.

Let's go, baby. He put trouble. Somebody, he put trouble, Ocho. They put it. Oh, it's going to be a good year. That's one thing about champagne. Once you pop the cork, you can't go back in there because that cork expands and pops up out of there. Yeah.

Oh, Joe, the 49ers clinched the top seed. They go on the road, beat Washington. 27-10. Brock Purdy. Hold on. Let me get it right here. Hold up. Oh, here it is right here.

Brock Purdy, 22-28, 232 touchdowns. Brandon Ayuk had seven catches, 114 yards on the touchdown. Debo had 37 on the touchdown. They ran the football extremely, extremely well today. One, ooh, they had over 200 yards rushing let's see one that's 144 75 oh they had about 185 189 yards running the football but that's what the 49ers do they run the football and then they throw the ball when they want to they don't let you dictate uh when they're gonna throw it a lot of the ravens made them throw it on their turn. But the 49ers are the number one seed because the Eagles lost.

The 49ers clinched the number one spot. What did you like? Did you like what you see today? Did you like what you saw today? Yeah, I like what I saw. The 49ers were back on what they're used to doing. Obviously, being able to run the ball, being efficient, your smoke screens. Obviously, defense played well.

Debo, efficient. Iyuk doing what Iyuk does. Iyuk has quietly had a very good year, Ojo. Yeah, very, very, very good year. Brock Purdy being able to escape and extend plays with his legs, which is something we don't see often because the ball is normally coming out fast, but he looked good today. Brock had a very, very good bounce back game.

Very, very good bounce back game. He needed that for his confidence. I mean, you play as well as poorly as he did on Monday night. Yeah, with them three interceptions. That could be the more. Three or four. I think he did on Monday night. Yeah, with them three interceptions. That could be the more likely. With three or four, I think he had four. They had five turnovers. But anyway, Ocho, but you know it's a very short week

because you play on Monday, and now you got to get on a plane and fly cross-country, which probably means they left probably Friday. So it was a very, very short week. You probably had a quick walkthrough, and then you head to the East Coast, and he bounced back in grand fashion, 22-28, 232 touchdowns. They ran the ball extremely well. McCaffrey did. He didn't get very much action, but Elijah Mitchell ran the ball

extremely well, 17 carries, 80 yards on the touchdown. McCaffrey was 14 carries, 64 yards. But he is over 2,000 yards from scrimmage, which is a very impressive feat in and of itself but the san francisco 49ers go on the road defeat the washington commanders and sew up the number one seed in the nfc so they will have a bye week the question is how do they play out the last game the rams need that game in order to make the playoffs. Do the 49ers play their starters or do they rest their starters and take the time out? It's going to be very, very

interesting. What would you do if you were Shanahan? Think about it, Ocho. If I don't play this week, I got a bye week. It's going to be three weeks before I see real action. So you play him and risk the injury? I got to play him at least a half.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll play him for... Okay. I mean, listen, after 16 weeks of football, I think you should be able to at least play him in a half and you not lose any momentum, even if you have a bye week.

But I don't, I don't that, that to me, that's scary to me. That's scary. Obviously playing week to week, the week, the week,

the week, the week, and then having time off. Do you lose your momentum? Oh yeah. Yeah. That's a lot. That's the last three weeks.

Oh, Joe, that's a long, that's a long, long time because if you don't play this week, that's one week. You get to buy a't play this week that's one week you get to buy week that's two weeks now you're not playing for three whole weeks but yeah and no football and i yeah that's that's that's tough i don't i kind of don't i kind of don't even like it

do you know the success rate of team that i've been in a situation where i had it both ways we took off one week and we lost in the divisional round. The next time around, Mike made sure we played. So, see? That was a... So, the bye week really ain't a good thing then, really. But obviously, it's a shorter route to the Super Bowl. Obviously, it's a shorter route to the Super Bowl.

The divisional, the NFC Championship, and then you're in the Super Bowl. And then the championship, and then the bowl. Right. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. It sounds good, but again, will you still be the same team you were

before you hit the bye? Or before you had that bye? Again, Happy New Year's, guys. We really appreciate you. This is the last show of 2023. 2024 is going to be a big, big year for everyone.

Hopefully, everything goes well, but you got to work at it, guys. Don't just say, oh, my New Year's resolution and you don't do anything to make that resolution come true. So, you know,

hopefully you got started towards the end of 2023 and you just springboard onto 2024 because the likelihood of you just waking up in 2024 and says my life is different. I'm about to change things.

It's probably not going to happen. So hopefully you have started that process already, Ocho. Yeah. A lot of people always do that. A lot of people always do that. Obviously the gym tomorrow, the gym, the gym is going to be crowded. The gym is going to be crowded tomorrow morning. Everybody always had New Year's resolutions. Everybody. And they always start out great the first week, the first two weeks, maybe even the first month. But discipline and structure, if it was never there

before, you're not all of a sudden going to have it magically because it's a new year. That shit starts from within and it has nothing to do with New Year's at all. Hopefully you got started, you made that decision since 2024. 2024 is going to be different. Stick to it.

And I'm starting now. The moment you realize that you wanted 2024 to be different, you started the process of making it different in 2023. So we wish you nothing but the best of luck. Harry donated $200. He said, Happy New Year, CapFam. My birthday is on the 2nd. Can I get a shout out? My name is Marcus.

Don't throw me no party. I don't want no party. Get me a nice cigar. Get me, get me a cafe. Go last year. Give me some Starbucks. I have a, I have a vinyl. I have vinyl records, right?

I love jazz. I love my Frank Sinatra. I love my blues. I love my old school music. Give me a coffee. Give me a cigar. Put me out there on the balcony. Let me play my vinyl records. Kick my feet up and relax.

That's all I need. But here she go. Always trying to surprise and do something extra, knowing it's not what I want. I appreciate it. I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I'm simple. I love crowds if I have to be in them. But if I don't have to be in them, it's not something you're trying to do, but I'm simple. I don't, I, I love crowds

if I have to be in them, but if I don't have to be in them, it's not something I really want to do. My close friends is cool. I don't have that many, you know, if I do have anything, it's my kids, my brothers, anytime I have anything going on, you know, Tio has always been supportive of me. You know, when I lost my mom or I have my birthday, you know, T is always there. Other than that, I'm good. I ain't trying to do it. I see people when it comes to their birthday,

they have, oh, it's my birthday week or it's my birthday month. Listen, I say a prayer at 1159 when that clock hit 12. I thank God for seeing another year

and I go on about my day. I don't care for the shenanigans and all that. Bro, when you said, I thought you said Vaina Sausage. You said Vinyl Records. I'm like, what the hell you talking about all that. When you said, um, I thought you said Vaina sausage. You said vinyl record.

I like what? Yeah. I'm like, what are you talking about? That ain't no nothing to celebrate with. Yeah. Oh, my bad.

My bad. I got it. I got a nice vinyl collection, man. The, the, the, the sound is,

is so much, so much different, you know, being able to hear it off them records. Yeah. Um, well, well, so eight days. So that'd be the eighth. That's them records. Yeah. Well, so eight days.

So that'd be the eighth. That's a Monday. Yeah. I'm on the ninth. I'm yeah. January 9th, January 9th, 1968 Jackson Memorial hospital born at 3 0 8 AM.

I never forget with the, the bears get the number one draft pick face. The ultimate decision with Justin Fields with the Carolina Panther, man, Justin Fields, Justin the Carolina Panther. Man, Justin Fields has shown that he should continue being the quarterback for the Chicago Bears. But with a talent like Caleb Williams, what do you do as ownership? If you were the owner, what would you do?

My thing is, Ocho, okay okay you say caleb uh you say uh justin fields i got you haven't shown since he's been there that you have the ability or the qualifications to put talent around him so why should i trust you now if i'm justin fields why do i trust you now if i'm justin fields okay i'm like you know what guys i think it's best that your guys you we both move on send me to atlanta send me to Atlanta. Send me to Atlanta. Justin Fields in Atlanta? Going back home? Hey, I like where your mind at.

I like where your mind at. I like where your mind at. Drake London, B. John Robinson. Kyle Pitts. Hey, that's nice. So, I like it, and I don't know if it's possible. Chat, stay with me real quick, baby. Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr.

Yeah. Is that even possible to do that back-to-back? I don't know if it's possible because the Bears are winning, and so they're going down. I think what they possess now, I think they got like the ninth pick in the draft. He's not going to be there. He's not going to be there at nine.

Now, maybe, maybe, what are not going to be there at nine. Now, maybe, what are we going to get from Atlanta if we trade them Justin Fields? They're 10th right now. What do we get for Justin Fields? I believe Atlanta would be crazy not to give up a first-round pick to get Justin Fields. I mean, you would. You would want to.

You would want to. Why not? Why not? Who has the second pick? Because whoever has the second pick, that's where Marvin Harrison Jr. is going. Washington has the second pick. The Patriots have the third pick. They're going to move out of that spot

because you already got Jahan Dotson. You got McLaurin. You already have Terry McLaurin. Oh, I forgot the third. i forgot the third i forgot the third receiver name he read yeah curtis samuel really you that's you got a very very good decent decent core right there decent trio they need a quarterback dc what if what if they what if they what if they overlap overlap and try to trade with our with the bears to get that first pick and then they steal c Williams. I would assume

whomever, if Chicago gives up that pick, I'm assuming I'm assuming someone's coming to get Caleb Williams. That would be my assumption. Now,

hey, the draft is funny. You never know. Nobody thought Andy Reid would go up 17 spots to get patrick mahomes so yeah he saw something so it's gonna be very interesting but the question is ocho for me i'm just leery of the bears being able to surround him with the talent that he needs and plus talent it it's going to cost you $200 million to extend Justin Fields, too. Right. Right. I mean, well, either you're going to give it to him

or the Falcons will. Oh, the Falcons got no problem because he had the thing I questioned with the Bears. You let Roquan Smith go. Yeah, that was weird. What? That was weird, wasn't it? That was weird. And he hasn't missed a

step over there in baltimore at all there's nothing wrong with him he a perfect raven nothing wrong with him nothing wrong with him hey i gotta promise you with uh when they find out that uh oh you've been telling me he oh he a raven he got robbed man we should have had him way back when. Yeah, it's funny. It's funny how ownership or GMs or certain teams never see value in you, but they see the value in you once you're gone and how valuable Roquan Smith is to the Ravens defense. I'm not saying he's Ray Lewis, but he's Ray Lewis.

Eric DaCosta, who's the GM, Ozzy still has an office there. I call him all the time and aggravate the hell out of him. Boy, what you want? Nothing, just aggravate you because I know you ain't doing it. You got all this free time.

You telling everybody you got free time now. You can work on your golf game, which is still trash. Ozzy, I know somebody going to send you this clip. Your golf game is still trash, but you steal my dog. You steal my dog. Oh, I don't know send you this clip. Your golf game's still trash, but you steal my dog.

You steal my dog. Oh, I don't know if you saw this. David Tepper, who's the owner of the Carolina Panthers, video surface of him throwing his drink on a Jaguars fan today. Roger Goodell got to come down hard. I'm talking about hard.

Hard. I'm talking about probably somewhere between a half a million and a million dollar fine, and he's got to be suspended for a period of time. I like the fine. I like the fine because we get fined for every little thing. The suspension. That's an owner. Is that a little too much?

I like the fine, though. The fine and apology to the fan itself. That's not a player. That's an owner. That's an owner. That's an owner. Right. Right. Right.

Right. He is supposed to be above the fray. Yeah. And I get it. Your team is losing. And that's one of the reasons, Ochoa, I don't really like going to the game. I ain't no liar. I'm a sore loser. I'm an even sore

winner. So my team win, yeah, I'm ooh. I'm bad. Even as an owner, even in a seat, in a position of power like that, even he can feel a way based on what's said to you.

You know, even he can react based on what's said to him, because, again, he is human. It's his team. He's the owner. Obviously, he cares for one to even react in that manner and forget that you are the owner. That says a lot about how he feels about that team and the direction where they're at right now, not where they're going, the direction where they are right now. Well, you just can't keep hiring and firing coaches. He's only third. He's only third. I mean, think about it. He fired

Matt Rule, Steve Wilkfield in, let him go, brought in what's the guy? The quarterback. He was at Philly. He was at Indy. Frank Reich.

Frank Reich. Frank's gone now. You can't keep firing and hiring. You know what that comes from? I think that comes from being a successful businessman, I think, and thinking, well, in my world, when things don't work out, I just replace it with someone else. But in the football world, when things aren't working out, you can't just continue to replace coach after coach after coach like you're in the business world it doesn't work like that and thinking that okay if i just bring in a new coach all of a sudden things are going to turn around for the better that's not the way it works with the nfl with this game it takes time building a team building rapport obviously getting the quarterback and then building the pieces around that quarterback to make sure you guys are able to be efficient and compete week in and week out stuff like that takes time i think they think throwing money is the easy answer

and going after big names. That's not how it works. That's not how it's going to work. In today's day and age, one thing that most owners don't have or coaches, especially if you're not, you don't have a football background,

is they think everything is an easy fix. What owners don't have is patience, especially new owners. Now, the older owners seem to have it a little more because they i mean like a lot of these owners they inherited it from their fathers so especially if you inherited you know um a situation you know firing someone after a year or two is not the answer to go normally you have to let let them figure this thing out um but and and today everybody wanted microwave everybody wanted quick everybody wanted instantaneous we want success and and social media has spoiled us and to make oh how i made my first hundred million

how i became a millionaire overnight how i did this how i got this body in 22 minutes see everybody wants something everybody wanted quick ocho it's time it's work yeah it's working to do especially because yeah and it and if you do get it quick it ain't gonna last long and that goes that goes for anything whether it's whether it's money whether it's business you know everybody want to take the shortcut or find the loopholes to it but that ain't how it works. It's about longevity. And with longevity, there's a process to get to that point. Because I think the thing is, Ocho, you understand, because you're asking 53 guys to come together with different backgrounds,

nationalities, you know, preference and religion and whatever the case may be for a common goal. Yeah. And, you know, you have to have a guy that, uh, that can carry a room that can, that's a leader of men that that's relatable, that resonate in that locker room. And it's not as easy as you think, because some guys that can carry a locker room, they can't coach. And some guys can coach, they don't relate and they don't carry a locker room.

coach and some guys can coach they don't relate and they don't carry a locker room and so it's a fine line a fine line and a balance between finding that right mix that right combination but i just know that firing a coach every time the guy goes has a losing season or you don't think i don't think he's been just because you have enough money to buy a franchise, that doesn't mean you know the intricacies of a football team and what it takes to build a contending and a championship caliber football team. And so I don't think he understands that. He just thinks he can come in. This ain't working. Let me change. You can do CEOs like that of your business.

Yeah, you can do that. Oh, yeah. It doesn't work like that. It doesn't work like that. Pony's pick, Mitch, says, all these young bucks out on offense for the Packers, and they're still racking up points. Kiss the baby.

I like the Packers in the future. I like them moving forward. I think they got something you can build on. Offensively, with those skill positions, with those skill players, and that quarterback, they're only going to get better, Ojo. He's only going to get more confident. He's only going to get better.

And they're going to get an opportunity to grow. Now, Watson is going to have to find a way to stay healthy because he's phenomenal when he's on the field. He just... Yeah, very phenomenal. He's having hamstring injuries and he's not sure.

Obviously, hamstring, that's soft tissue. That's one thing you don't play with. Listen, that hamstring and that groin you got to get you got to get those two right anytime anything that is bothering you as a receiver anything with the lower extremities from the waist down that is hammering you is going to always be there unless you fix it so we need i mean obviously in the offseason you know brother christ brother Christian Watson needs to find out, go see a specialist or whatever. He might be off mechanically. Maybe it's something with his gait. Maybe his hips are off a little bit. Maybe something is too strong and it's tugging.

Maybe something is too weak and it's causing his hamstrings to fatigue and to overexert. But that's something that he definitely needs to get worked out. Hey, Ocho, maybe he's working too much in practice. Maybe they need, maybe they need to back him down in practice. Yeah. Yeah. Well, listen, with the way, with the way, with the way the CBA, the rules are, as far as practice is concerned,

I don't think they practice enough. I'm saying maybe he, I mean, based, based on the schedule, the running, not the hitting, but you know, the receivers. And now look, right. I'm talking about when we, when I was in that I've seen, it's ridiculous. The running, not the hitting, but you know the receivers. And I don't know. Look, I'm talking about when I was in that West Coast system, we had to finish 40 yards. So no matter how far, no matter you catch a flat route, you had to turn up and go 40.

You got to go 40 yards. So that was a lot. We did a lot of running, Ocho. A lot of running. Right. Ain't no, hey, I called it and turned up five yards. It wasn't none of that, bro. Because every time Mike wanted you to finish, know, Jared started that bull jive.

Jared Wright started that. Yeah. With Coach Walsh. Jared would catch it. And Penn is like, he was going to the house every time. He wanted a mindset. I'm scoring. And the funny thing about it is what you do in practice, it carries over into the game and it's just second nature.

It's just second nature. You had to finish past Mike. So as we started to get, he come down, he back it down to like 30 yards. But you had to finish past him and he'd be down there holding the play sheet. Man, I hated catching a flat rod. You know, if you're catching a seam, you're catching a seven, you're already down the field 20 oh you good you already down there but you catch something shot

come on bro I'm catching a shallow crawl I gotta turn up and go 30 but it's gonna be interesting to see what what commission Goodell because obviously he's gonna tell him this is not a good look this is a horrible look he gonna have to do him this is not a good look. This is a horrible look. He's going to have to do something, huh?

He's going to have to do something. What's the most they can find him? A half a million? Maybe a half a million is the most they can find him. I mean, listen. The bad work ain't not being you. What the hell? $500,000 a year? It ain't hurting nobody.

It ain't hurting nobody. I mean, if you want to hit him, most of the time they always tell you you hit him where hurt and it's the pockets what hurt owners is draft picks capital that's the money oh yeah i mean no no no that's what hurt okay okay okay not money right come on right you find you find all you find he wouldn't go as far he wouldn't go as far as that but i think you'll find him maybe 500,000 250 whatever the max they can find an owner i think they're doing that and maybe give him a one month or a couple of games suspension or something like that um laura taylor uh rc underscore seven underscore studios donated

but we do have our issues. Of course. I mean, come on, man. Oh, yeah. All these people are, oh, it's perfect. We don't do this. We don't spend time.

But sometimes, yeah, you know, people love everything. So, peaches and cream. Oh, nah, we auger. We argue, you know, we have our issues we have we have we have our moments we have those uh you know what i'm gonna go ahead and i'm gonna go ahead and

take me a walk you know what i'm gonna go ahead take me a a smoke break and drive about about 30 minutes and come back and when cooler heads prevail then we'll we'll hash this out and we'll communicate we find a solution to the problem and we go from there boom and we write back but uh other than that man it's it's beautiful it's beautiful what real say uh say ah baby you're doing an amazing job multitasking happy new year i'll be home soon make sure you make sure the kids are big oh she talked about she probably when i had the baby. Yeah, she did. That don't make you want to have...

You don't want no more? You don't want no more kids? Sometimes. I'm just asking because I like that. I enjoy that moment. Normally, she would be asleep, but my younger daughter had a baby kid. Baby Kennedy here. Baby Kennedy had her. She couldn't

get her to go to sleep. I come get her. I'm the baby whisperer now. You know, I'm good with them. I know you the baby whisperer. You whisper to a woman and she got a baby. Yeah, that's exactly how it works. And see, the funny thing is I'm so good with kids.

Normally, that's why there's really no hesitation to have them from me because, you know, you're in good hands. You know, I'm a great father. So you already know what you get in that area, which is why it's really no hesitation to have him from me. Because you know you're in good hands. You know I'm a great father. So you already know what you get in that area, which is why it's no problem. But anyway, boom. Put it right here on my chest. You see five minutes, she stopped crying. She was out of there. Right to sleep.

Right to sleep. Easy. I mean, what if I just like to practice? You know, I ain't going to play the game. I'm just going to practice. No, no. We ain't going to have a baby. We're just going to practice trying to try to make one nah you've been doing

that 55 years so what's the point of what's the point of practicing if you ain't getting the results when you when you practice

when you play for the Broncos right or you play for the Ravens you go to practice and hope for scoring on Sunday so why practice

if you're not reproducing? Bro, I got three kids. I'm 55. Listen, Holly Berry was 51 when she had one. What you saying? Ocho, how that's gonna look? They got me. Ocho, thank you.

And you know what you can't do? You know odd numbers is not a good thing. If you're gonna have kids, you need to end on an even number. So you need to have one more. Yes, sir. Just for the sake of argument, I'm going to be 56. 56, kids,

17, that's 73. Yeah. Right. Man, I'll be paying child support with disability. Why would you have to pay child support? You're a father that doesn't have a job. They're got to... Why would you have to pay child support? You a father that doesn't job. You ain't going to have to pay no child support.

They going to be like, uh, uh, uh, uh, Kennedy, your grandfather had to pick you up. That ain't my grandfather. That was my daddy, fool. Nah, they ain't going to say that.

But you cool. You going to be in a BMW EV. They ain't going to say that. They ain't going to say that. Yeah. You going to be the cool... You going to be the cool pop with a with electric scooter on the back i don't think i don't know joe you know what oh joe you know what you know

what i do think i mean there have been times i think about like you know what you go i have to tell you an infant an infant will bring you joy and it will keep you young it had you moving around and had you smiling you never you you're like you never thought i'm telling you listen to me we'll sit down and talk about it all off the chat i think i think you bringing another child in the world with the right one would be a really good look it'd be a really good look a good look for who for us what a kid at an age ain't nothing a kid. Age ain't nothing but a number. Age ain't nothing but a number. You experienced too. You experienced.

Oh, J. William Drum said, dating game is different now, Ocho. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dating game ain't no different. The dating game was the same way it was back then. It wasn't no different. No, man. It wasn't no different. Nah, man. They ain't put all them cards on the table like that you show your hand you show your hand on the first one even back then yeah boy depending on depending on depending on who you are you show your hand because you ain't got time to play i got that

no there was no time to play hey i got one for you think Think about this. What? Think about the old school music from back in the days. Yeah. The problems and the issues that we hear about today. They were singing about it way back in the 70s, in the 60s, in the 80s. Everything is still the same. The only difference now is it's magnified because there's more exposure. So Dayton is still the same in hindsight. It's just the fact that

it's magnified because it's more access because of social media. So I don't really think things are really that much different. Ocho, when you go into a game, you got a big old sheet.

You got a big old play, a big sheet. You saw a big old sheet. Yeah. Ocho, I ain't trying to run all the plays on the first game. No. You know what I'm saying? I gotta save. I gotta save. I gotta save that reverse.

I gotta save that flea flicker. I gotta save that tackle eligible. Right. For a rainy day. You know what I'm saying? You gotta be in that. I gotta save that. I gotta save that one. I like where you're going. Matter of fact, you know what? Dudes these days, now I'm not in this. I like you. Matter of fact, you know what? Dudes, dudes these days.

Now, I'm not in this. I'm not in this. They make it hard. They make it hard. Oh, yeah. That's the real. But you know, they could off rip.

They off rip. They buying houses. They buying cars. Yeah, yeah. They paying tuition. They don't draw the price. The price sky high. They ain't doing it all.

They ain't even playing. Off rip. Yeah, yeah. because it gets you access right now. You know what? I don't feel like playing this game. Let me show you what I can do. Let me show you what I can do for you and change and make your life easy. But then the con to that is, I mean, you, you, you, you, you, where did you, where did she go?

If that doesn't work out with her and you... Where did she go? If that doesn't work out with her and him, where did she go? You continue chasing after the same thing because once you experience that lifestyle or actions like that, you ain't going backwards. Ain't no turning back. You ain't going backwards.

Nope. Nope. Ain't no turning back. Ain't no turning back. It ain't no turning back. You're right. It's a dangerous game up there at the top like that now, because you got you got a small select few that are able to pull that type of maneuvering off. And you got a whole heap of women. That's fine. That is looking for just that.

that is looking for just that. So you got the big fish all in the same pond dealing with multiple women because they can move and do for them like that. I done got old, so I can't do too much. I don't, yeah, I don't, yeah.

Hey, listen. But you already know, you know, you know. And the plus on your house. I ain't spending no money now. You know that. With two replaced hips, I can't be chasing no kids now.

Who? Me. You told me your hips was good. They are good. That's why I said you need a child to get a hip some work. You chasing two, three-year-old on the park, that's what you need.

Oh, the hip's strong. See? You saw your boy squat, your hip's strong. Told you. You said you could squat. You said you could squat, right? I got titanium and that liquid blue. See? You saw your boy squat your heel strong. Told you. You said you could squat. You said you could squat, right?

I got titanium and that liquid blue. Hey. Hey. Bad with hurricane sand touchdown? Yeah. Bad boy. It is. I like it.

I like it. Well, listen, if it's a hurricane, you know it'll come after the hurricane, right? It's always sunshine. And guess what the sunshine would be in this case for context, an infant. No. You could name the baby. No. Baby Shay. says, my dad passed away two years ago at 78. I'm 22 years old today. I'm grateful for him having

I think it might be another unanimous after that showing that he had today. Eagles lose to the Cardinals. Let the Cowboys have the inside track

to the NFC East crown. It also gave the 49ers the number one seed overall after they beat Washington 27-10. David Tepper, the owner of the Carolina Panthers, had an incident. There's a video surface of allegedly him throwing a drink at a Jacksonville Jaguars fan. I don't know if the drink landed on him, and that's what the video says.

So you can pull it up and deduce and draw your own conclusions. Yeah. The Bears clinched the number one pick with the Carolina Panthers losing today. So they face a decision. Justin Fields had some moments and he's had those type moments throughout his career. Do they keep him,

build around him, trade that number one draft pick, get draft capital, or do they keep him? The polls should have another kid. 51% said yes, 49% said no. Hey, I told you, I told you, told you i told i told you i told you

they would want i'm man listen we'll talk about in depth a little bit a little bit more because obviously here on the chat i can really get into it i don't think people understand how good that would be for you it would be a great look or you're already a superior father and and adding another addition to the three that you already have. They will love that. I would love that. And if you need help, not that you would need help because you are experienced,

but as the baby whisperer that I am, I don't need no help. Oh, that's what they don't need. No help. Right. Right. No,

no. Right. Oh, I'm not talking about like, Oh yeah. I'm talking about once the baby here, the plumbing. Oh, I'm talking about like once the baby, oh yeah. I'm talking about once the baby here. The plumbing, oh, okay. I just thought you said the plumbing functioning. The plumbing

functioning now. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Ain't nothing wrong with that. See, McDuffie, if you were starting an NFL franchise, what current quarterback would you start your team with? And you can't say Mahomes.

C.J. Stroud. I'm just throwing the first name out there that come to mind. Obviously, there are a plethora of quarterbacks that you can start a franchise with. But I'm just throwing C.J. Stroud's name out there because of what he's been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time being in the NFL and turning that franchise around. That is the true definition of a franchise quarterback to go into a situation where it

was extremely bad last year. Obviously, D'Amico Ryan's obviously having something to do with that as well. But when you have a quarterback, what you see inston is what happens when you get a elite franchise quarterback regardless of how long he's been in the league well based on the way he's played uh the last six seven weeks you'd probably be foolish not to say lamar if you couldn't take my homes yeah i mean he's been i mean he's shown, he has the highest completion percentage of throwing the ball outside of the pocket. But if you look at the plays that he made today, they were all in the pocket. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Miami made a conscious effort to keep him in the pocket. Yep.

He stood there. It's a flowers down the rail, hit the running, hit the running back, got mashed up on a linebacker heel, everything he threw from the pocket. Yeah. And he threw from the pocket. And he's figured it out. He's figured it out. They're afraid of my legs. They're going to muddle rush. They don't want to see me jump out of lane.

It's okay. I'm going to stand right here and pick you apart. Look, I don't know. You can't find fault with him now. As long as he's taking care of the football, and he's taking care of the football over the last five or six weeks. That's what got him in trouble was the turnovers. You know, you're throwing interception going into the end zone.

You take points off the board. You got took. You might as well say that. Well, we got automatic three. From 15 in, if you got Justin Tucker as the kicker, you got three. Now he's taking care of the football? Every time. From 15 in, if you got Justin Tucker as your kicker, you got three. Yeah. Now he's taking care of the football? Every time.

Yeah, he's been, man. Whew. While he donated, Happy New Year. Love y'all. Shout out to Puka and Nakua. Rams are going to be a dangerous team in the playoffs. Puka had another moth today, Ocho. Yeah.

You know what Puka eat? You know what Puka eat? What do you eat mcdonald's i mean me and me and puka me and puka go back and forth on twitter about about mcdonald's about once a week having a phenomenal he having a phenomenal season phenomenal season as a rookie i don't know if it's puka naku or i don't know if it's sean uh seanay. It's one of them. Or just that relationship, that maturation in general. The real deal. How many yards is Puka? He might

have an outside chance to get about 1,600. I know he's over 1,400. Easily. At one point, he had five for a buck. He had five for a buck 18. Daniel Robinson had six for 92. Higby had six for 62 buck 18. Daniel Robinson had six for 92. Higby had six for 62.

And Cooper Cupp had four for 27, but he had a touchdown. Pooka Nicole has 1445. What's the record? For a rookie? Chase, right? Didn't Chase break? I think Jefferson had the record. Mm-hmm. chase right didn't chase break uh i think justin jefferson had the record and the thing is he would have been rookie of the year had it not been for cj yeah most definitely because cj is playing so great and you know he's playing unbelievable yeah even with even with the

two missed games he's probably still gonna win rookie ofookie of the Year. Yes. Because you remember when Justin Jefferson had his outstanding year, Justin Herbert won it because he was a quarterback. Not because he was a quarterback, but he did play well. I mean, he got through for over 4,000 yards as a rookie, threw for over 30 touchdowns. So I'm not going to say just because he was a quarterback.

He had an outstanding year. But quarterback having an outstanding year and a wide receiver having an outstanding year, but quarterback having an outstanding year and a wide receiver having an outstanding year. So he's Bill Gorman in 1963. 1960. The record is 1473. He's got 1445. He don't hit that next week.

Yeah, well, he got to hit it next week. Last game of the season. But for a rookie to come in and get fit. Think about all the great rookies that's come in. Jefferson and Chase and Randy Moss. Julio. All those guys. Think about the receivers.

Some good ones. And Puka Nakua.fist jerome yeah uh calvin john's megatron and puka nakua about here about to go over 1500 yards in a rookie season that's crazy uh crazy work see buford 70 donated hey uh how funny was that young man that impersonated you That's crazy. Crazy work. Steve Buford, 70, donated. Hey, how funny was that young man that impersonated you in Baltimore? Where is he now? Tim. Tim Johnson is the name.

We keep up. I don't know where he is now. I think he might be back in Ohio. He went to Youngstown State when he left the Ravens. If I'm not mistaken, he went to the Raiders. When he left the Ravens, if I'm not mistaken, he went to the Raiders. But I saw him last in 2022. Was it 22?

No, it might have been 23. I went back to Baltimore and we had the documentary and he was there. But I don't know what Tim is right now. But yeah, it was funny because to my ear, it sounded like me was talking. And it just goes to show you, you don't know who Tim is right now but yeah it was funny because to my ear it sounded like me was talking and it just goes to show you you don't know who's watching you because all the things that I had been saying in training camp all the mannerisms Ocho you know I'm just going about my business you know just being me right and he picked up everything so it was it was great and that was the very first hard knocks uh August V3R on happy new year uncle no choke still got five minutes until midnight here have you ever considered writing a book about your life oh yes i've

been approached uh on several occasions about writing a book but you know what i think sometimes like my sister always tell i couldn't even think about writing a book until my sister you know my long as my sister was you you know, she ain't going to have that. So I just put, when they come to me and say, yeah, thank you. I appreciate it. Had sat down with a couple of publishing companies and even a couple of authors. I'm like,

nah, Ocho, some things you just take to your grave. Right, right, right, right, right. You take to your grave. Or you get some of the stories that would have been in the book on nightcap. So you do get some bookish stories. And I know people are thinking now,

if this man telling this, what does he have that he needs to take to his grave? Matter of fact, you should start sharing some of the ones that you're taking to your grave with us. Oh, no. Oh, no. Because we're going to take the take into your grave with us. Oh, no. Oh, no. Because we're going

to be going to take that. We're going to take the story to the grave with us. Might as well share with us. We family the big the bigums you guys fuel my ride to and from work every day two hours each way. Just a quick question. Two hours will you? Yeah, two hours each

way. I hope they're playing you a pretty penny. Will you ever touch on what happened at FS1? You mentioned Stephen A warned you about what was happening. Nah, you know what? I thank FS1 for giving me the opportunity. For me, I wish those guys the best. Obviously, Mike and I, I know Mike a very long time

he came in a couple years before me Sherm who I have a relationship with who I even when he was playing he and I would communicate and when he got into this business I was one of the first people not the first but I was one of the people that he reached out to I know Key a little bit but I know

the other two guys well I wish Skip the best, but there ain't no sense in rehashing. They know what happened. I know what happened. I can hold my head up high. I'm happy that I was like a cat. I landed on my feet

thanks to a lot of prayer. And Steve and they believing in me and the people at ESPN from Dave Roberts to Jimmy Pataro, Bob Iger, Burke Magnus. They believed in me and put it like this. I'll just say this. All the noise that was reverberating, they didn't pay any attention. So I thank you guys for coming along with me.

Y'all still support Club Shea Shea. You support Nightcap. You support me when I show up on first date with Steve and A, and even when I'm in his chair. So I really appreciate you guys because you make it fun. You make it worthwhile. Keith Smith says, I love the show, Uncle Nocho.

like how do you come up with a name how do you come up with a name like I mean you you're gonna have to come up with one in nine months so I mean think about it think of something you like something you've always liked you know it just it just comes to you like my daughter's nickname is french fry right because I like french I like french fries and she looked like a french fry it just comes to you. Like, my daughter's nickname is French Fry. Right. Because I like French, I like French Fry and she look like a French Fry. Oh,

I want to. I don't want to get, you know, I want to get done too quick. Okay. Okay. Who the, who the, who the, who the, who the, who the mammy? I just a pappy. Anthony Sharp says, happy new year. Who do you guys have? win in the college football playoffs

man shit boy man what man you see what happened to Florida State I did they had all those opt-outs man you know they have first of all they lost their quarterback and then they're like all their top a lot of their like their top guys yeah yeah so going to the NFL and they take the risk if the quarterback was there and all the guys didn't opt out, the game would have been different. I still think Georgia wins. I don't think they win 63-3. I think they still win by 21.

Georgia loaded. They loaded. That was bad. That was bad. Think about it. They beat TCU last year in the National Championship game 65-7. And then they followed this up with a 63-3 and they called the dogs off. You know what that means.

Little Marv said, don't judge, but if a dog is an added expense, isn't a child an added expense? You right, Little Marv. Yeah. Who said that? A bigger added expense. Who said that? Little Marv. Little Marv. Stop. Lamar, stop.

Nope, appreciate that. Hey, Lamar, a child is not an added expense. It's an investment. Thank you. Ivan Laborson, Uncle Don't You, a big fan of the show. His legs open like a quarter to three is my favorite saying question. What was the hardest transition to get used to after football that's that's a good one i mean my my transition was was pretty much

pretty much easy i was at peace my transition was a little different than than most um but i played long enough i was i was content i was ready for that transition. Uh, I had no idea what I, what I wanted to do. Um, obviously I was passionate about football and outside of football, only other two things that I was passionate about was gaming. Obviously there's a true passion of mine and cigars. true passion of mine and cigars. So at that point, I knew I was going to go into the cigar business and take it serious. Uh, would it be in a passion of mine? And outside of that, you know, I was just going to sail into the sunset. I had obviously done extremely, extremely well with taking care of my chickens, my chickens being my finances, uh, the investments I had made. So I was, I was set. And then other opportunities started to present themselves and, you know, TV stuff. And obviously being on being on here with you and in and other other small gigs that that have that have helped me rekindle that that flame of exposure and being able to do what I love, love most, obviously that is talking football and, and being able to share my life, my, my, my life experiences. So, uh, it's, it's been a

long road for me. It's been a, it's been a long journey and, uh, and I'm just back, I'm just, just back climbing, you know, that mountain, you know, where I once fell from. So it's good. I'm happy. I'm in a good place and good space. And that transition, it was tough at first. It was tough, but God damn it, we churning now. Yeah, for me, the transition was very easy. I was going to come back and play.

I had my mind made up. I was going to play 15 years. And after 15 years, I was going to come back and play. I had made my mind made up. I was going to play 15 years. And now for 15 years, I was going to call it a career. CBS reached out and asked what I'd be interested in doing the pregame show. Um, I went, met with the execs and had a conversation with them.

And, you know, they called me back. Uh, my agent called me back like a day later and says, if you want the job, it's yours. And for me, that was because

I was like, if I go back and play one more year, what's the chance that this job is going to be available in another year? So that's how I had to look at it, Ocho. I couldn't say, well, you know what? Hey, I want to play. They ain't holding no job for no tight ends. Now, they don't hold a job for a

quarterback. They ain't hold no job for no tight end. And then you have to understand, Ocho, for the most part, that's a very short life unless you're one of these, you know, for the most part, they're looking for the freshest face, the newest guy to come out if he's a quarterback and he's a hot commodity.

They're looking to move on anyway. So I got 10 years and so my transition was fairly easy uh you know i'm a loner i don't need a whole lot of people around i'm not really around a whole bunch of people anyway so the only thing that i missed was like practicing the locker room the plane rides the bus ride you know stretching you know stuff stuff like that. That's what I miss talking and doing like what we do right now. So you could imagine Ocho and I having a conversation and you guys are in.

Can you imagine what I was like in a locker room? Boy, I was nothing but fun. And so a lot of my friends like man my their friends and family asked them say man what was he like what do you like on that show times 10 but that but that was it that was you know that's that's what you miss i mean i didn't miss the games i mean

the money oh obviously you know but no i was making i was making good money at cbs so i had taken care of my money my kids were were going to be situated with straight. Everything was taken care of. I'd already set aside them going to college and already set money aside that this is what I was going to be. I have to pay. Now I got to, you know, now I'm not in the NFL. I got to, you know, I got to pay for, you know, medical and health benefits. pay for you know medical and health benefits yeah so uh but it was it was cool man it was it was great and uh i have a look back uh with the exception of the two years between um cbs and fox i've been working since 2004 so we're coming up on 21 years with the exception of two years that i missed so 19 years i've had a job in television. So, uh, Calvin Dickerson said,

happy new year, Uncle Ocho. What should the NFL do about the refs who blew the call for the Lions? Well, if Adam Schefter reporting is to be true, they got downgraded and there's a great chance they're going to miss the playoffs. Cause remember I told you Ocho, that's probably really the only way you can punish him is that you know, you go, you missed the playoffs. Yeah. You can't, you can't mess up a game like that. you can't mess up a game like that. You can't mess up a game like that, especially with playoff implications on hand. Obviously, with Detroit supposedly supposed to be winning that game. Obviously, if the call is standing correctly, you can't mess up a game like that, man.

That's ridiculous. I feel I feel bad. I feel really bad. Yeah. So, yeah. And it looks like, you see, there's a video floating around that seems like Decker, the tackle that reported, seemed like he mouthed something to Brad Allen and Brad Allen said he got it. And then you hear Dan Campbell says,

I told him before the game. A prime example, Matt LaFleur told the official before the game that if we, if we win the toss, we're going to defer. Right. And I think they won the toss.

Carolina won the toss. Hey, what'd you call it? Say, nah, we want to defer. He said, nah,

nah, nah. You want to, you want to receive the ball, right? Because had he said, nah, nah, nah, you want to receive the ball. Right. Because had he not, Carolina would have got the ball to start the game and to start the second half. So normally, and that's what they do.

Sean Payton went to the officials and said, hey, onside kick. Be alert. Right. So that's normally what the coaches do. So, yeah, it's not a good look. We won't, we really won't know what's going, what really happened because he's going to say no. They didn't report.

He said 70 reported, 70 said I didn't say anything. Decker said I reported. What happened was they ran both guys. So Dallas doesn't know know so it's supposed to be they're confused right but it looks like the only person that got confused not only did dallas get confused the ref got confused also so it ended up being a situation where possibly cost them a game that's great uh green cuban said happy new year uncle ocho and the team got a question what cars would you or do you have in your collection you know i got that b i got a bmw eb uh uh i got a range and uh

i got that uh the black ghost i I got the, the Dodge that, uh, that challenger, uh, the last, so that's it simple. But I look, you know, the EV, EV, I be that EV a run. Yeah. Yeah, man. Thank real nice. I mean, well, I ain't really got no, I used to have, but what you used to have, what you have? I know.

I remember you had them, uh, them Chevy's. Yeah. but what you used to have what you have i know i remember you had them uh them chevys yeah i i them chevys they had a 71 72 73 um during during that time obviously i remember i had a hummer when hummer first came out yeah had a road road obviously rose royce had a phantom during that time um dodge ram something about dodge ram i don't know why i had a dodge ram but i had a dodge Phantom during that time. Dodge Ram. Something about Dodge Ram. I don't know why I had a Dodge Ram, but I had a Dodge Ram. Ferrari.

I obviously had a Lamborghini. But I thought you was cheap. Yeah, all this was with TV money. None of this had to do with what I was making on the field. This is all the stuff I was doing. It's still your money that you spent. Right, right.

But it was extra for me. It was extra. Oh. I'm glad I ain't got no tv money 2009 was it 2009 or 2010 i leased a bugatti for a year which was i always wanted i wanted that experience of what it was like to own a supercar that that was cool i remember one of the fines i got one of the fines i got, one of the fines I got, uh, during, during the preseason, I tweeted in the middle of a game on the sideline and the NFL fined me 25 grand. And that 25 grand really affected one of my Bugatti payments, you know, for that month. Um, I never forget that.

And I tweeted, I tweeted it out. I'm sure the tweet is still up there. We can probably go to that for reference. Um, and that for reference. Um, and that's it. And then when I, when I probably, when I got to,

I got rid of everything at one point, I had, I had everything for maybe two years on maybe for two years, I got rid of everything. And obviously I got my smart car through that 2006, which was my main car. And every time I hit 10,000, 10,000 miles,

I get a new smart car. So I'm on my, like my fifth smart car. Now that's still my main car drive. And I have, you drive that, you drive a new smart car. I'm on my fifth smart car now. That's still my main car driving. You drive that thing about seven years before you get 10,000 miles in that little ass car. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can't go for 43 miles an hour.

Come on, don't do me like that. Don't do me like that. That's a good quality car. I get 55 miles at the gallon. I can park anywhere. It's good on gas. Good on can park anywhere. It's good on gas. Good on the freeway. It's just a good car in general. Man, I wouldn't take that car on a freeway.

They don't respect it here in the States, but it's very sought after in Europe, obviously because the roads are much smaller. You're in the States. No, but it's good for me because it's efficient. It's cost efficient. It cost me $13 to fill up. $13 to fill up, I get 55 miles to the gallon.

Do you know what that's like? And I have that. I still have my Smart. That's my main car, and I have a Suburban. And that's it. Shirell, fancy ass. William, thank you for ordering a bottle of Laporte. I really appreciate that.

I notice people in the chat telling me what I like. It's amazing. People tell me what I like and have never seen me with anybody. Oh. Oh, I seen you with somebody. I seen you with somebody. And you will see me again. Yeah, I seen you with somebody I seen you with somebody And you will see me again

Yeah, I seen you with somebody I'ma just give you the initials Can I give you the initials? Yeah N-M Letter N M Boy, the real deal Holy feel Letter N, M.

Boy, the real deal. Holy feel. Oh, man. Hey, boy, listen. Between you and me, let me take my glasses off. And a soldier salute. A soldier salute. The real deal but we gonna go ahead and get up and get up off of that

boy yeah but I love people have never seen me right but you see that's how you know people you when people hear a lie right once you hear it so much you believe it to be true so when people

say something when they repeat something over and over and repetitions of a lot doesn't make it true. I just don't have the time. I just don't have the time to chase it down. Right. Because my thing is, you know, hey, why should I chase a lot? What do I prove? Okay. I proved that I dated X, Y, and Z.

What do you got out of that? You just want to know my business. That's what that is. Y'all want to know my business. Yeah. So, but Kevin says, Ocho, which would you rather be in the NFL,

NFL owner or coach? Which one is more stressful? Oh, coach. He's the only one that can get fired. Well, you want to, you want to be the coach instead of rather be the owner.

Oh, the coach is more strict. No, he said, which is more stressful. Uh, the coach is more stressful. Don't ain't going nowhere.

Yeah. He's the only one one he can't lose his job. Yeah. Yeah. And he never take a loss. Tell me the owner that purchased the club and lost money when he sold it. Never. Never. I mean, Daniel Snyder, he bought it

from Jack Cook. He bought the Washington team for $800 million in 99. He just sold it for $6.5 billion. Crazy work. So in 24 years, six-fold, seven-fold.

So, nah, I'd rather be an owner. Elijah Greene said, Uncle Nocho, can you give my Aunt Bridget a shout-out? She's a cancer survivor. Bridget, congratulations on beating that deadly, ugly, awful disease. Hopefully, you remain in remission and you have a long, continuous, healthy life. Appreciate it, Elijah.

All right, Bridget. Prayers. Congrats. Prayers to you, Miss Aunt Bridget. Peace, peace. Uncle No nocho love watching the show y'all are dynamic duo what's some advice you have for a young man as elders or how be the best one can be peace and blessing the best one can be pleasing blessings go ahead i mean being the best you could be i mean obviously you you got you got to be finding something you're passionate about first. Find something you're passionate about and you lock in on it.

Lock in on that and try to achieve greatness in that area. Even if you fall short. Even if you fall short, you're going to succeed at whatever it is that you like. I mean, and when it comes to being the best at what you do, it has to be something that you enjoy and something that you like. Yeah. That's the only thing I could think of.

You know, it's hard. It's hard to give me advice on how you can be great, but you got to figure out what it is that you like. Figure out what your niche is. What's your niche? What are you good at at what are you great at for me yeah i like being oh i'll be honest i like being good at a lot of things

but i think it's better to be good at being a person sometimes people get caught up in being good at a job or task, but be awful human beings. I believe you can be both. I think it's now, obviously, you know, you're not, you can't, you're not going to be everybody's friend, especially when you try to run a business. You have to make tough decisions. Sometimes you're going to have to let some people go. You're going to have to reassign some people. And that's never fun, especially people that you brought on in the first place or you've established a relationship with. that if you, if money will come, if you enjoy what you're doing, you won't consider it work and you'll look up and you've accumulated a lot of what you didn't think you could.

And so for me, I get up, I go to bed, I say my prayer, I get up and try to be a better person today than I was yesterday. I try to treat people like I would want to be treated. Uh, I realized everybody can't be a CEO, but your job title has nothing, no bearing on the way I treat you. Absolutely nothing. Oh, Joe, I tell you, you know what? I got up this morning and I went and got some breakfast and a guy was at the table and he was talking to himself, uh, and, uh, And he was talking to himself. And. Talking to himself.

And so I'm ordering the lady. That I always go in there. She always takes my order. And he's like. He pointed. He's like. Hey. You.

You. I. I know you. And he smiled. And I'm thinking to myself. I was like. Bro. It did my heart good.

Because obviously, you know, he's not, he wasn't in the best condition. But he's like, you, you, I know you. And I nodded, I smiled and I nodded at him. And, uh, and he, he went back to doing what he was doing. But I think that's, and I think that came from my grandmother's that, you know, you treat everybody. Because you never know, Ocho. You never know. I mean, you're up here today.

You're going to be down here tomorrow. Yeah, man. And the person that you're up here and the person down here. And all of a sudden the roles switch, reverse. Because I've always tried, I've always tried to, you know, divorce my ego

and to see myself as someone else. And that's what you have to do. That's what empathy allows you to do. It will allow you to divorce your ego and to see yourself

as someone else. Right. Fortunate, not as fortunate fortunate down on their love family having problems but a lot of people don't think they're too prideful and don't think things can happen to them and so i've always my grandmother always would she was very very big on that of treating people well regardless of their situation because you don't know you know she's like she used to always tell me one of her favorites say boy you'll never know who you'll ask to hand you your last drink of water and so that resonated with me like okay it don't take anything to you know to treat somebody nice hey how you doing be courteous be respectful because i would want that and And, you know, you never know.

But also, Ocho, I see, you know, for me, I see, you know, I see my grandmother, my great grandmother, my mother. Because I got a mother. I got a sister. I got kids. I got daughters. I got a son. And I don't want someone to treat them a certain type of way because they're not up here. So I don't treat other people just because they're not up here

i take time hey how you doing even if i'm in a hurry i'm respectful i'll acknowledge it hey how you doing even if i'm in a hurry i might not stop and sign up take the picture but i'll at least acknowledge it throw my hands up hey how you doing and keep it moving but it did my it did my heart good today to see that young that that that that gentleman and he was just like he was like i don't know if he actually knew my name but he's like i know i know you i've seen you i i know you and so that that made that made me feel pretty good ocho does it does does you not being in the hall yet bother you love the show you deserve to be there nah nah it don't bother me you know not don't bother me uh obviously hall of fame is one of the highest the highest achievement the the

highest achievement you you can receive from obviously your peers and those voters that that put you in but if you if you follow me throughout my career and obviously I've always played the game my way. I had fun. I remain my authentic self. If my focus was the Hall of Fame, I think I would have conducted myself in a different manner. I would have conducted myself in a way of obviously not putting the jacket on, mocking, you know, the Hall of Fame. It just just is one. I'm just one of the few players who has an identity outside of just football where I to me, I think I really don't need the jacket. My peers know, you know, what I did when I played.

think I really don't need the jacket. My peers know, you know what I did when I played those that played against me, those that have coached against me. And I've always been, I've always been content. I've always been content. And I think, you know, the hall of fame, obviously it is a tremendous accomplishment, but it's not the end all, especially my resume itself speaks for itself. Um, and I didn't conduct myself in a way where the Hall of Fame would really want someone that made the game fun and entertaining and kind of not made fun of the Hall of Fame, but kind of mocked it in a sense, you know, putting on his own jacket in the middle of a game.

And I was okay with that because i never i never needed validation i was never never one that really really seeked it or needed it and i just i just had fun playing the game and that was it dr frankie l bell bellamy are you a fan of making resolutions or do you prefer setting specific goals for an upcoming year? For me, like, you know, a lot of people do diets. I don't do diets because diets have a start and a stop date. I have a lifestyle. I have a healthy lifestyle. I eat a certain way.

I live a certain way. Are there goals that I want to accomplish? Sure, absolutely. Even when I played, I had goals. I want to do X, Y, and Z. Okay, what was the best way for me to go about it? Um, and, uh, that's, that's the way, but I think it's, it's good to have goals. Uh, they need to be out of the world.

I like to, I aim for the stars. And even if I just land on the moon, I'm still pretty high up. Yeah. Um, you know, I don't sit, you know, I sent things that I, sometimes I don't like, I set things that I... Sometimes I'm like, man, can I achieve? I'm like, hey, I'm going to put it out there anyway. Because I believe if I set my mind to something,

God has given me the discipline and the dedication and the determination that I can focus. I can have a singular focus. It's almost like... I'm talking about like... and I can have a singular, I can have a singular focus. It's almost like layers. It's like layers.

I've done my like government tracking. Okay. That's what I want. I'm gonna go do it. Yeah. I'm gonna go get it. Yeah. And,

and if I don't know how to, I don't have a problem asking people, what do you think about this? What's the best way I should go about that? So I've been very fortunate over the last six months to meet a lot of people that have helped me and says,

I think you should do this. I think you should do that. You're going about this the right way, but if there's anything I can do to help you, if I can put you in touch, contact with people and this space that we operate in, it's all about relationships. That's what it's about. And never burn bridges because you never

know who you're going to need on the back end. Never burn bridges. I like that. Something my grandma always taught me for those that struggle with structure, for those that struggle with discipline when it comes to setting goals, especially New Year's resolutions, most of the time, 99% of the people that set a resolution never stick to it, never keep up with it because it's very, very difficult to maintain a certain goal over an extended period of time. Very, very difficult. And think about everybody that's in the chat, think about a goal that you set and you were great at it. Maybe the first month, maybe the first two months, but to maintain that discipline and structure to actually attain a goal over a year span, not likely. Right. Not likely. I'm just being honest.

So what I think most should do is set small goals in between. Right. should do is set small goals in between. Have a goal set for a month and extend once you reach that month, try two months. When you reach two months, try three months. And at some point, as you continue to do it over a month span or four month span, a six month span, then it becomes habit. It becomes habit. It becomes a part of routine and not,

it doesn't feel forced. If that makes sense. We are, Ocho, we are what we repeatedly do. Yeah. So what do you do the most? That's what you are.

Yeah. That's who you are. It's really that simple. Yeah. What do you do the most? You know you know it only take it only take 30 days to do some 30 days consecutively before it becomes a habit it only it takes 30 days to do something consecutively over and over and over before it becomes a habit but But here's the thing, Ocho. And here's the thing, while like me being disciplined,

it's easy for me because I've been disciplined my entire life. Right. Because what happens is if you're not careful, you can do something. But when you get

in a stressful situation, you'll revert back to what you know. It's called muscle memory. Yeah. That's why what a person that has a nice body and all of a sudden they're like man they let himself go and then they start working out again right and

they said well damn how did that because the body knows you'll revert back we've seen guys i give you example and this is not i'm not taking a shot at tebow but if you just watch tebow just throwing the ball yeah you just throw the ball just like with shorts and Tebow just throwing the ball. Yeah. He just throw the ball. Just like it was shorts and tee. He just thrown it. He just thrown it. But when he got in a stressful situation, he will revert back. Yeah.

Because you will revert back to what you know. What do I feel most comfortably? Right. That's why, that's why it's so hard. When a guy comes out, comes out, comes home.

He's like, I ain't never going back he get into a stressful situation don't show what does he or she do they go back to what running back to what they know to your ways you got to at that point it is survival at that point and so that's the thing you know like you said don't burn bridges yeah the toes you step on today might be on the foot connected to the leg that leads to the butt you got a kiss tomorrow boy you got to be careful how you treat people oh joe got to very important you don't know you don't know very important you

don't know who today might be somebody tomorrow. And people like, well, he should, I was like these referees, when you talk to them crazy, these voters in the hall, when you talk to them crazy, they are human. Oh, he's got to remove, he got, how do you take the human element out

of human? That's what makes you human. Which is the human frailty is the human element of being human that's why i just look man i'm just a guy with you if i don't if i don't fool if i don't fool people i just don't fool with them oh joe i don't go around them i don't if somebody talking about somebody and i don't fool with them i just go ahead and remove myself from the conversation right i ain't got nothing i ain't got nothing good or bad or indifferent i just choose not to bring your name up right and there are people like that there are people i mean that i just don't they name i'm gone hey man did i say something no i'm good bro

you know hey i just see I have something that I want to talk about. That's just the way I do it, Ojo. Right, right. I ain't got time to talk. Man, look here, man. I'm about to be 56. I got kids and grandkids.
