Starting point is 00:02:49 so you don't miss a single episode of Nightcap. That button right here. Come for the sports. Stay for the stories. My highest quarterback, Karen Arnold, is facing multiple felony charges after he was arrested in Tampa, Florida in connection with a robbery and kidnapping
Starting point is 00:03:09 early in February. Police, St. Arnold, reportedly orchestrated an armed robbery and kidnapping after believing several people had stolen property from an Airbnb he rented. Even though investigators later determined the victims had nothing to do with the theft. According to police, two women allegedly
Starting point is 00:03:27 lured the victim to a Tampa apartment where two armed suspects hiding in the closet, jumped out, held them at gunpoint, beat them, and robbed them. Investigators said it said the attack was live-streamed to Arnold, who allegedly gave directions through a group chat before arriving at department while the robbery was still underway. Police say the victims later were forced into their own vehicles at gunpoint
Starting point is 00:03:53 before being released. Oh, man, boy, they took some from T-8, but T-Hen turned into John Gotti out there. Huh? Oh, Joe, let's just say for the sake of argument, Joe, for this discussion, let's just say they had taken it. It's insured. Well, we're not sure if it's insured. Because if it wasn't sure, they were... Well, you should be... It should be stolen. If you got $250,000 worth of anything, Ocho, it is not insured. Yeah. If it's jewelry, if it's... If necklaces, watches, rings, autumn.
Starting point is 00:04:33 whatever the case is, you're bigger them. That's a bigger problem. But let's just say for the sake of argument. Yeah, go ahead. You're in the NFL guys. Joe, you're professional. See, this is the problem. Keeping it real.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Stop keeping it real. You cannot keep it real anymore. When you make millions of dollars, you work your entire life to get in this situation. Why do you need to keep it real? Listen. My goodness. Some cats being
Starting point is 00:05:14 disrespected and violated, bro. They don't know no other way. You know what I mean? I understand what you're saying, but some cats, there's just a reaction. It's like, damn, hold on. Those folks are stole from me.
Starting point is 00:05:27 They didn't disrespecting me. They didn't violate me to the utmost degree. Some cats, bro, they don't rationalize like that. You know what I mean? They think straight, hey, boom, let me make this play real quick because they got me bent. You feel me? The authorities said, Joe, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Yeah. The authorities say the people that he tied up and beat didn't even do it. Hey. You know what? Also, when it comes to NFL players, you know, I love T.A. man, the death. And I'm, you know, upset at him. I'm disappointed at him for even putting himself in this situation. but if he doesn't have a level head,
Starting point is 00:06:09 if there's something that got stolen from him, the people around him, his entourage, somebody got to be the brains. Somebody else has to be the brains. Because when the thought or... The solution... Logic is low. When the solution was to even think about doing this,
Starting point is 00:06:30 whoever came with the master plan, that should be like, nah, we ain't doing that. Hell, that was him. Joe, Ocho, this is how I'm thinking. If I got home boys that are willing to do that, I got to let them go. Because it's only a matter of time. I ain't going to be able to control them.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Because if they'll do that, they'll do that without being prompted by me. And if they're in my circle, who's getting charged? The people like that, they're around you. Joe, you're responsible for them. Ocho, you're responsible for them. Yes. If somebody, I can't have somebody around me that'll do stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:04 But to go, to go. get the strapped to rob somebody and to tie him up, if what's being reported is true. They say this happened in February. So this was a long investigation. Remember, March, April, May, here we are in late June. So basically four months.
Starting point is 00:07:23 They've done their due diligence, but here's the thing, Ocho. Yeah. When you got the most to lose, you've got to be the most logical. Because when they get pinched, I tell you what Of all those people in that gambling incident
Starting point is 00:07:41 Who did they walk out? They named a lot of names Yeah Who do they walk out? The ones we know So when the rubber needs to meet the road They don't want to know How many times you have seen somebody hold up a perch
Starting point is 00:08:00 A blue gill A crappy They hold up trophy fishes So in this situation Who the trophy? T.A. I just, I hate, I hate that, you know, look, we, we make mistakes. We all, you know, we put ourselves in a situation and like, Lord, I just hope, I hate,
Starting point is 00:08:23 I hope for the sake of argument, this isn't true. Through his PR person, they said he categorically denies this. And I hope, I hope this is a big misunderstanding. Lord, I hope this young man with so much promise in front of him, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I mean, when did it Joe, a professional athlete
Starting point is 00:08:49 order somebody to get tied or allegedly order to get tied up and robbed? Hey, huh? And they potentially live streamed it so he could see it and then he can.
Starting point is 00:09:01 They don't tell me but one thing. He's young. He ain't know no better, bro. You know, I'm telling you. He's looking at it from a standpoint that, man, I don't put X, Y, Z amount of money up in this Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:09:15 You mean to tell me they didn't came and stole it? Oh, hell no. Hell not. He's trying to get his stuff back. He wasn't trying to get all that. That was a very similar situation. So OJ did the same thing out in Vegas. Remember, allegedly they, he was told that they had memorabilia up here
Starting point is 00:09:36 that they were trying to sell it. And he ran in there. And what happened? they ran, they told on him. Yeah. The only difference is he happened to be, he showed up with the food, he up there, they got him listening, hey, hey, don't let him out of here, hold it.
Starting point is 00:09:55 I just, man, I hate this young man put himself in this situation if this is true. I really do. Guys, bro, get that stuff in short. If you want to have, look, everybody wants to, you know, guys want to have nice change, Ocho and jewelry. Yeah. I've been there, had my stuff, you know, and got it taken,
Starting point is 00:10:15 and you feel violated, Joe. You know, Joe, you had the stuff to be broken into your house. You feel violent. You really do. You really, really do. And I can, but I was like, man, if I knew who did this, I probably, woo, I want to do something bad to him. Man.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Because that's a, man, you worked so hard. And when you come up like a lot of us came up, not having, and to work so hard to get something, and just somebody just come take it. Take it, yeah. I'm telling you, bro. Hey, hey, you really don't know how you react, especially if you do know who the people are who's done it.
Starting point is 00:10:50 You're right. Like, you really don't, bro. Real talk, man. I'm talking about, hey, man. I mean, that's violation to the worst degree, bro. Imagine you come home. I'm talking about every mattress in your house flipped over. You know, it's mattresses in the hallway.

Starting point is 00:11:25 I mean, but I was in the area. I was a fat of earthquake, because earthquake did the same thing. Knocked stuff over and stuff was broken. Yeah. And I'm like, and then I looked, I was like, well, damn, where are my watches? Damn.

Starting point is 00:11:56 I got the little ones. I let them out. So I'm just letting them out. I'm not even thinking anything about it. Everything is normal downstairs because I had the little ones downstairs and the kennels. So I'm not thinking. I'm not thinking anything. Everything looks normal when I get.
Starting point is 00:12:12 in the house. Man, and I remember going up to my bedroom, and I was like, where all this glass come from? My watch is it. I had a Christopher backpack. I was like, well, damn, what my backpack? Well, now I go back down to the truck because I'm thinking, well, maybe I left it in my truck.
Starting point is 00:12:36 But I know I never leave it in the truck, because that's the last thing. I don't want somebody to be able to just, you know, ease access to stuff. So I'm like, you know, if you think you lost something, you're looking for stuff, well, you know, man, what am I watch? Let me look at the refrigerator.

This would be a very different call if they were still here, ma'am. I was like, my jury's gone. Man, I waited, man, I waited. Like, it took up like two hours because if it's not an injury, it's not an emergency.
Starting point is 00:13:48 They don't deem a robbery as an emergency. So they're not, like, is anybody injured something like that? I started lying said, yeah, but then they end up getting me for lie. So I was like, nah, nobody's injured, ma'am. I was like,

You're Paul McCartney.
Starting point is 00:21:15 It's 1980. You're an ex-Beatle. And you're doing time in one of Japan's worst prisons right there alongside Yakuza gangsters and for a ridiculous charge. Or the bizarre crime Lady Gaga has accused them. Who is the artist Lady Gaga as being accused of doing the unthinkable to after allegedly stealing her music in style to become famous? And what about that time, Blondie's Debbie Harry escaped a serial killer?

Starting point is 00:23:06 Brandon, I, you posted a video announcing he's back on tour, and that ticket to come see him can be found on the Washington Commander's website. He also posted the video of him in his closet, tossing a bunch of money on the ground. There's another reminder that the $40 dollars money he's made from them. What's going on, bro? This Ocho. Ocho, Ocho, Ocho, the Y-receiver.
Starting point is 00:23:28 He's our resident Y-receiver expert. He can speak Y-receiver. Yeah, he's the Y-receiver. He's the Y-receiver. there's certain things. I was crazy when I play, but there's certain lines, even I know not to cross.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I understand I have respect for the game. I have respect for obvious of the organizations. Sometimes you don't always see eye to eye when it comes to the business side of things, Uncle Joe. But I mean, B.A. is B.A. You know, he's going the route. He feels necessary.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Something has happened to him that has him reacting like this, Uncle Joe, chat, you know, do I support it? No. Do I understand it? Yes, in a sense, because I don't know what's going on behind closed door that has him acting out the way he is.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I just understand the small window of opportunity that this game gives us. I understand the small opportunity window, Joe. Yes. It's very small and it goes by really fast. I just want to take advantage of that small window. and maximize on as much money as he can
Starting point is 00:24:36 and as much success on the field as he can because this game, they will move on without you and leave you behind and they won't mess a beat. Hey, man, listen, y'all know, bro. This type of behavior, man, it don't help us. It doesn't. It don't help us, man. And see, us, we're the only group
Starting point is 00:24:58 that one individual, it reflects negatively on all of us. All of us. Yeah. We're the only group of people that one individual, what one individual does reflect negatively on all of us. Ocho, you can be somewhere.
Starting point is 00:25:14 And we see somebody of our color and they be acting up and our skin start to crawl. You're like, Lord, have mercy. Jesus. Why are we doing this, man? Damn, Lord. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:25:29 they hold that against us. They'll use that why, well, this is why we can't pay him because you see what Brandon Iyuk did. You see what this guy did. You can throw.

Starting point is 00:27:42 He said, man, you going to do that? Yeah, come on. But I know how it looks. And I just even, it doesn't matter where we are. I'm always trying to diffuse a situation, especially, hey, I, I'm sorry. You know what I'm like that? I'll keep going to walking. But if it was us, I'm trying to.
Starting point is 00:28:04 to defuse it at all costs. Whatever it takes. That's just the way I am because I know how negatively it impact how it looks. I just, man, I was like, man. Man, Lord have mercy. Come on, Brad.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Come on, B.A. Hey, you know what? You know, the one thing I don't, you know, Unk, you was good to the game. Joe, you was good to the game. And the game is going going to always be good to you where you no longer playing.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And the most important thing in life always, it's for everybody in the chat, is the relationships you build along the way. Yep. You never want to burn no bridges because you never know when you got to cross that bridge again. Mm-hmm. Yep.
Starting point is 00:28:54 You never know. I just, I don't know, man. I don't have B.A.'s number personally because I would have been one to reach out to him. And though there's other ways to go about this. Let's not. do it that way. That's, I, I hope you, I'm a firm
Starting point is 00:29:13 believing that. I've always tried to treat people well because just, every coach that's on your team, they're not going to be on your team always. No. What if they go somewhere else? Then that's an opportunity. Won't have. You see, you see a lot of time
Starting point is 00:29:29 coaches, when they get jobs, they'll always bring one or two players from the team that they came from. Yep. Hey, that could be me. That could be me. Hello. That's how I look at it. And I've had great relationships. Look, we already know the Mike Shanahan.
Starting point is 00:29:48 They talk about the Sean McVey. But Sean McVeyerbe was on the staff with Kyle and Mike when he was in Washington. Rahim Morse was on that staff. Mike McDaniel was on that staff. Go back and look at all that staff. They spread out through the league. Yeah. You never know.
Starting point is 00:30:07 The guy that runs the whole Broncos organization, what they eat, when they eat. Obviously, the coaches say, said where they're going to stay. Chip Conway. Chip Conway started out in the mail room in 1993. Now he runs the entire Broncos. When I hit Chip?
Starting point is 00:30:23 Hey, Chip, man. Take this out. Man, I need a couple of T-shirts. Chip, I need a helmet. Chip, I need some Bronco glasses. Right. First thing, as soon as I call, you see my name pop up, Sharpie, what you need.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I said, Chip, how do you know I need something? He said, Sharper, you only call me when you need some, what you need. But, It was always, you know, when it came Christmas time, always tip the guys. Always gave a nice bonus. Yeah. I mean, I end up giving, you know, with the video crew, the training staff, the equipment crew, the mail crew.
Starting point is 00:30:59 I mean, I probably was giving $15,000, $20,000 bonuses. Ooh. Yeah. That wasn't making no money back then. Now he's running. Now he's running the whole Bronco thing. Same thing with flip, flipped in. equipment room,
Starting point is 00:31:17 flip started out. Hey, hey, flip, I need a Bronco helmet. Them new helmets they got, hey, flip, get your boy one.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Put 84 in the back of it. No problem, Sharpie. Man, it's the same thing. Like, I don't know, uh, I don't really know the equipment people now.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Uh, uh, edo used to be the equipment and garage and Baltimore. But when he was there, same thing, man. You, you got to treat,
Starting point is 00:31:44 you don't know. just because you here today, that don't mean you're going to be here tomorrow. Oh, no. Right. You might be here. And the person that was here, when you was here,
Starting point is 00:31:55 and he was here, and you treated him bad, he might, who see? Yep. You never know you might need him one day. That's just, that's how I am.
Starting point is 00:32:09 I just, like I said, I just, hopefully, you know, somebody can get to him, Ocho and Joe, put a bug in it and say, man, this is not the way to handle the situation.
Starting point is 00:32:18 I understand that you're not happy with the 49ers and you want to get out. Excuse me. But this is not the right way. No, son. Because you know, Ocho, hey, first of all, they already boarded the guarantee, all the guarantee money that he was going to be a get get, that he was supposed to get moving forward.
Starting point is 00:32:34 They boarded that. And look, and what I was telling you are, you and Ocho on, man, if I'm another team, I mean, damn, do I want to deal with this, bro? Like, think about that. Like, I'm not sure if I was thinking about that, bro, like any team that's willing to invest in you,
Starting point is 00:32:58 they're probably going to be thinking like, damn, at some point they're probably going to be like that. What else? Hey, I don't know how y'all think about this, but if I don't care how I find a lady is, if you call the cop, if I know that you call the cops on somebody, you think I'm about to deal with you? Yeah, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:33:14 You get mad at him and call the cops. You get mad at him and call the cops. What's going to stop if you get mad at me doing this, same thing. I'm good. No, not just me. Hey, somebody like, hey, that was a licensed lady. I'm not saying, I'm saying, obviously there are certain
Starting point is 00:33:31 times that women, because y'all know how y'all like the twist thing. Let me, let me clarify this. There are times that women should call the cops. But there are times in situations that sometimes your emotions get the best of you and you call the cops out of frustration. And then you sit back
Starting point is 00:33:47 and you analyze, you're like, man, I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry, I put you in a bad spot. But it's too late. Somebody might lose their job. Somebody get cut. Somebody, you know, X, Y, Z.
Starting point is 00:33:59 There are times that the cops should be called. And I'm not saying women that if you feel like you've been threatened, but you make sure you understand the ramifications that comes along with action because every action there is a reaction. So let me just clarify that because I know social media, how y'all just take everything and just take it out of context and just run with it. because we got we have to be very specific now we have to be because a lot of people understand what I'm talking about but there'll be one or two that a clip it and won't provide context to what I'm saying I'm saying in a certain in certain situation that sometimes you just well he did X Y and Z and it if it wasn't that situation where he didn't come home late at night you man or you find out he got a new girl yeah it's a foolishness like that obviously um Like I said, that's the type of situation I'm saying that doesn't warrant the cars being called
Starting point is 00:34:55 because you find out he's seeing somebody else or he went out of the country with somebody else or he sent somebody else some money who bought somebody a car. That ain't a reason to call the car. An IR Radio Experience weekend gold tickets to Ilsoniq. One, two, three, everybody just screwed.
