Man, Ocho.
Hey. Yes, sir.
I know.
Man, we got to dress a lot tonight.
We got Keith Lee
responding to you.
Keith Lee, that's
my dog. No, no, no.
He don't want to be your dog. That's keith lee that's my dog no no no he don't want he don't want to be your dog that's my dog that's my dog beat the bills tonight 24 18 joe burrow was what you thought
spectacular 31 of 44 348 two touchdowns uh t higgins had a monster game they did a pretty
good job of keeping they were doubling uh um chase and so when you
don't yeah now you're number two guy you get to be number one for a night show us what you got
and he stepped up late unbelievable they ran the ball just well enough to kind of keep them
off balance they did a great job and even when they got pressure on joe he was able to escape
a lot of that pressure and make throws down the field. You were at the game for a little while.
Tell me what some of your takeaway was from that ball game.
I mean, what I did take away from the game is Joe Burrow.
Joe Burrow, when he is healthy, how everything, the dynamic of that offense changes.
Listen, the energy in the stadium was unbelievable.
You know, there are not very many times that I have an opportunity to go to the Bengals games.
Obviously, I try to attend at least one game a year.
This is my second game after being at the Ring of Honor game,
obviously, and being in that stadium tonight
and seeing that offense operate, especially the first drive.
The first drive of the game, they set the tone.
They went right down the field, and Joe put on a clinic.
They ran the ball well.
They passed the ball well.
There was a dose of balance on both sides of the ball,
really confusing the Bills' defense and not knowing how to stop them.
And Joe was beautiful.
Obviously, I was watching the defense.
And, you know, when you're sitting in the sands,
it's very easy to tell what's coming defensively.
Even with Jordan Poirier trying to disguise stuff,
you can still see it clear as day.
And, obviously, I know Chase was a little frustrated.
They wouldn't allow him to get off tonight.
He had a few catches, but he wasn't able to have a game that really changed the dynamic of the game.
But obviously, T. Higgins did get off.
He got off and it went really well for him.
And you say a number two.
I really see T. Higgins as a number one because if he was anywhere else,
he would be the number one receiver.
So I consider us being very fortunate in having him on that offense. And I consider us one of the teams that are fortunate to have two number ones.
Other than that, that deep ball to Chase could have really blew the doors open
in that game.
And we could have really sealed the deal a lot earlier.
And it shouldn't have come down to what it did.
We were inside the 10, I think
maybe late in the third quarter.
And penalties took us all
the way back to the 30. We can't have that.
But it didn't come back to haunt us.
We did get the W tonight. And I'm very,
very happy that we are rolling
as a team. Well, if you think about it, Ocho,
the Bills got the ball and went right back down the field.
And I'm thinking to myself, okay, man,
we might get ready for a shootout.
But the game kind of settled down.
The Bengals grabbed control of the ball game because
they went right back down the field and made
it 14-7. And then I think the
extended lead made it 17-7,
I think, going into the half. And so
the Bengals, their defense, I mean,
offensively, we know what they possess.
That's what,
that's what the money is at.
You got the big time.
You got Joe Burrow.
You paid,
you got a nice running back
and Joe Mixon.
We know what Jamar Chase is.
You mentioned T Higgins
would probably be a number one
in a lot of other places.
Boy,
a very big,
but a very reliable
and durable slot receiver
that's going to make
the third down catch. He's going to make any third down catch.
He's going to keep the chain.
He doesn't do anything flashy, but he's going to keep the chains.
He's going to keep your offense on the field
to give you the opportunity to crack and get the ball into the end zone.
So you have to be pleased.
You're the Bengals.
You're really pleased with the way you played tonight.
You didn't turn the ball over.
You didn't put the ball in the hard way.
And defensively, you got the one takeaway.
You stole a possession from them. Oh, you guys did turn the ball over. You didn't put the ball in the hard way. And defensively, you got the one takeaway. You stole a possession from them.
Oh, you guys did turn the ball over.
I think you did turn the ball over once.
Yeah, once.
Yeah, Taylor Britt.
Hey, listen, I think for some reason this season I've been seeing it more,
more and more and more in cover two.
Most of these interceptions are coming in cover two with a corner.
He ignoring the flat the the
back is always coming out of the flat and they just saying forget it and they just drifting back
further and further and picking off every goddamn corner route and it's happening every but if you
watch late the ball game cincinnati hit a ball to chase and what they did they told the back to push
up a little further and so further right couldn't get back over the top because here's the thing
with that cover too right if you don't put hands on it,
that's a hard get over the top for the safety
because the quarterback got really good arms.
They're going to get that ball up and down
before they get over the top.
Every time.
So they made it...
Chase did a great job getting outside,
getting a free release.
Joe did a great job of putting the ball on the money
before the safety get over the top.
But so now the Bengals are... What? Bengals are 5-3. job of putting the ball on the money before they're safe to get over the top.
But so now the Bengals are what?
Bengals are five and three.
Pittsburgh five and three.
Cleveland five and three.
Baltimore sits atop the division seven and two.
Well, Baltimore look good today.
We'll get to that.
But God damn, God damn, they look good today.
The Eagles beat the Cowboys.
Dak Prescott had a monster day throwing the football.
29-44, 374, three touchdowns.
Jalen Hurts, 17-23, 203, two touchdowns.
But we kind of talked about this game leading into the game because we saw Philadelphia last week against Washington football team.
And I said, oh, Joe, Sam How just threw for.397 and three touchdowns.
So what do you think Dak Prescott and
CeeDee Lamb's thinking? Ooh, if Sam
Howell and McLaurin and
Dodson, if they got those numbers,
what we gonna do?
And I saw you earlier
and said, man, give Dak some. But you know
it, Ocho, when the rubber needs to meet
the road, Dak gotta get that ball.
Now, I've been saying, oh, you hate me.
I'm saying, guys, kicking field goals in the red zone will get you beat.
Now, one team was 3-5 in the red zone.
One team was 3-3 in the red zone.
Now, you tell me, without knowing anything, which team you think won the game?
The team that went 3-3 in the red zone or the team that went 3-5 in the red zone?
The team that went 3-3 in the red zone or the team that went 3-5 in the red zone? The team that went 3-3, obviously.
Listen, those two possessions where they weren't able to score, it hurt them in the tail end.
And then, obviously, that third quarter, listen, this was a great game.
This was a great game.
It was a shootout.
It was going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
But something about that third quarter, something about that third quarter
where the goddamn Eagles outscored the Cowboys 14-0
was the change in the game.
And the Cowboys still had opportunity towards the very end of the game
to get the ball back and still had opportunity.
Was it to tie it?
They could have won the game.
They could have won the game.
Yeah, they could have won the game.
And when C.D. caught that dig route on about the two or the three,
man, and I stood up, I said, I know he ain't about to score.
If he'd have got in there through four people,
he'd have been Hercule, but Ocho.
Yeah.
And people, this is not, you know, this is not hindsight.
This is not piling up.
Right.
These are the moments that Dak has got to come through okay you look at the
you look at the stat line 29 to 44 374 touchdowns the game is right there for him to take this is
the moment now he can shut a lot of people up for it yeah what's the song go if only for one night
he could have done if only for one night oh yeah two point done it if only for one night. Ocho,
on a two-point play,
tell the people at home
that didn't watch the game
what he did.
He stepped out of bounds.
No two-point.
He stepped, yeah.
No two-point.
I mean, listen.
Okay, he stepped out of bounds
on a two-point play.
He is making an effort,
an effort to score
the best way he can.
I pay for results.
Listen, you're aware.
You make 40-plus million for results or effort. Did they pay you for effort? Come can. I pay for results. Listen, you're aware... You make 40 plus million
for results or effort.
Did they pay you for effort?
Come on.
Let me ask you a question.
Baby, don't do that.
What did the Bengals pay you for?
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Huh?
That was a smooth route.
Listen,
they paid me for my feet.
That's the only reason
they paid me for my feet.
But I understand what you're saying.
He didn't realize where he was
and stepped a little too far, a little too far outside. You I understand what you're saying. He didn't realize where he was and stepped a little too far.
A little too far outside. You gotta realize
you're a pro. Those
are moments. Remember we talked about.
Right, right, right. Yeah, this game
is built on moments. You right.
You right about that. And in that moment,
he messed up and didn't give his team
a chance to get that
two-point conversion. But they still had an opportunity
to win at the end of the game.
Hold on.
You remember, instead of in the red zone, they kick a field goal.
That's three instead of seven.
And guess what?
They turned the ball over on downs in the red zone.
That's zero instead of something.
They missed the two-point conversion.
So now, just think, you get the two-point conversion,
now you get an opportunity to kick a field goal to tie the game and send it to overtime.
So there are a lot of things that that could have materialized and
these are the moments that define quarterback talk look tom brady you look think about the
super bowl tom brady threw for 140 something yards in that game but what was it yeah it was
his ability to kick the field goal range to kick the field goal how many times
we've seen the great
we've seen the quarterback
play really really bad
but when the rubber
needs to meet the road
when we need a play
we're counting on
they get it done
and Dak needs to have
more of those
right
you know what I think about
even with it only being
week 9 in the season
having a game like that
to that magnitude, to me
is a great
teaching tool
for that, for them offensively.
Because you had a great game, obviously, throwing for 374.
You finally got an opportunity to get
C.D. Lamb involved in him trying to
make an impact on the game.
I said C.D. had a monster game. What'd he have, 190?
Oh yeah, yeah. They have an impact on
the game. So games like this, as close as this game was,
I think when the opportunity in the moment presents itself again
for Dak and the Cowboys team, they will come through.
We've been saying this.
Dak's been in the league since 2016.
How many times have we asked him in this moment
to be what Jerry paid you to be,
to be what Cowboys fans and Cowboys supporters,
that's what they're asking you to be.
That's the moment.
Right, right.
Nobody asking you to throw for 500 yards against the Giants.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares when you throw for 300 yards against the Jets.
Nobody cares.
These are the moments.
Because what we've seen now, come on now, Ocho.
Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you i'm with you they've
come up short they come up short in those moments but at some at some point at some point with the
with the sample side that we've seen with the sample side that the cowboys fans have had to
experience since dac has been at the helm at some point the ties have to turn at some point the ties
have to turn so what happens if later on the season that moment comes
and he lives up to that moment at some point it has to happen and it's probably going to happen
when you least expect it and this might be the year this might be the year 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
so that's eight years let me ask you a question would you go buy a 10 million dollar house and
then play the lottery and hope you win it to pay it off?
That's not how you do it.
What, what, what? Hey, let me tell you something.
That was a beautiful analogy right there.
I like where you're going.
I like where you're going.
You keep telling me
this might be the year.
But what has history shown you?
Right.
I understand what you're saying.
But listen,
every season there are 32 teams.
Every season there are 32 teams and all 32 of those teams have the same goal in mind.
To reach the Super Bowl and try to get that body.
And what has history told you?
Only two are going to make it.
You and I both know.
You played this game long enough.
We know there's only about six teams.
Seven, eight teams really.
Realistically have the chance. That's going gonna have a chance hold that and everybody say hey guys we could do it
this year we have a talent in this room no we don't no you don't right no you don't right
listen you hear what you just said the cowboys have the talent they have the talent offensively
and defensively and it's going to come down to the quarterback play
and those moments.
He has to capitalize on those moments
and be the quarterback of elite status.
If you go back and look at all the great quarterbacks,
they've had that moment.
It was Elway in the drive,
or you look at Brady,
or you look at Mahomes,
or you look at whomever look at Mahomes or you look at
whomever it may be.
Joe Burrow.
Right.
They've had those moments.
And he's going to get an opportunity.
They're going to make the playoffs.
They're too good of a team
not to make the playoffs.
And it's going to come down
because the playoff team,
when it gets further,
you go along,
the teams and teams
get closer and closer.
Who can make the play when it matters the most?
So I'm going to get an opportunity, Ocho, to go make a first down,
to make a throw that's going to get us a first down.
Or I'm going to have to use my legs to get us a first down.
Or I'm going to have to make throws to get us a field goal range
or go get us a touchdown.
Can he do that?
And I think that's what people are waiting to see
so he can silence these critics.
And all he has to do it is once.
All he has to do it is once.
Yeah, that's it.
And it's going to change his life.
Because look, if you played a quarterback,
look, if you played that position in Dallas,
you're a hero.
And when the Super Bowl, you're a hero.
Roger Staubach is Mount Rushmore. Forever.
Forever.
There's something that comes along
that Roger didn't want to do. Roger didn't
want to do the media. But you look at Don
Meredith. He was on football
for 20 years. You look at Tony Romo.
You look at Aikman. You look at what
comes along playing
that position in Dallas.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
You're right.
You're right.
Listen, I'm optimistic.
I'm optimistic just like
Jerry Jones.
I'm optimistic like the rest
of the Cowboy fans.
I'm not even a Cowboy fan
in general,
but I'm looking at
the lay of the land
and what they're doing
offensively.
Defense, oh, they're going
to be fine.
They're going to be all right.
I'm just looking at
how they're improving week to week.
As we said, if the defense is not
having takeaways, if the special
team is not putting them in good positions,
but offensively, they got it done.
Offensively, they got it done. Went
up and down a few other. Ran the ball really
well. They had CeeDee Lamb involved.
There are a few penalties
that really weren't penalties defensively
by the DBs.
Other than that, you fix those issues.
When it comes time, crunch time in those moments,
I'm telling you, that can come through.
It's going to happen.
Chiefs beat the Dolphins.
This game took place in Munich.
Munich, right?
I think it was in Germany.
Mahomes was 20 of 30, 185, two touchdowns.
He did lose a fumble.
Rasheed Rice had a touchdown touchdown Jerry McKinney had a touchdown
Travis Kelsey not so much
one of his days he had three catches for 14
yards
21 of 34 193
one touchdown fumble to snap
on fourth down looks like he saw
the bomb is coming
do one thing about Jim Schwartz if you
watch the Kansas City Chiefs, if you watch him.
He coming.
He going to blow you up.
They call it zero.
We call it bomb.
Blow it up.
We blow it up.
Hey, the blast radius is going to be astronomical.
But we coming.
Yeah.
And to do it was in Frankfurt.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
Not Munich.
It was in Frankfurt.
What would you take away?
What do you?
And I'm going to give you my thoughts,
but I want you to go first.
What do you see from the Dolphins?
Listen, I thought the game was completely over.
You know, when you play Madden and a team
and somebody beating you 21-zip, that's skunk.
You got to get up and get up.
You got to get apart from six.
You got to get apart from six.
But for them to go at the half,
down 21-zip,
and then fight back and make it a game, and it was 20-14,
I say, oh, we good.
And I'm saying we because I'm from Miami.
So I'm saying, oh, we good.
We got this.
So I'm trying to figure out what in the hell is going on before down.
We need that opportunity.
You can't make that mistake
at that moment to give us
the opportunity to tie the game. We
need that. Even if the blitz is coming.
Secure the catch so you have an
opportunity to get the
ball to somebody. Because if
there's zero blitz coming,
oh baby, somebody open.
Yes.
Somebody open.
We needed that.
And I wish he would have caught that ball so we could have saw what would have happened.
You remember, he missed Cedric Wilson Jr. earlier.
On the deep ball.
On the deep ball.
He said they got confused.
He threw the ball like it was going to be a back shoulder.
He ran it like it was going to be a goal ball.
So I can see it. The corner was nowhere near. Oh, yeah. Yeah. going to be a back shoulder he ran it like it was going to be a goal ball so i can say the corner
the corner was nowhere near oh yeah yeah and so i thought tyreek was too amped he wanted to play
too well two huge drops yeah a fumble that resulted in the seven and that's what happened
you know you put so much emphasis i want to show you guys made a mistake you should have gave me my money i could have still been here you know you just get oh i want to do it i want to do it
right and you you you think he added any any added pressure on himself because at the end of the day
it's still football it's still just football and that's that's what he does your last girlfriend
you ain't got rail you wanted to show i got somebody better than you she looked better than
you she got more money than you and she
finer than you. That's what you do.
You know, what job you work, what
job you ever worked on and say, you know
what? I go get me a lesser job to show
y'all.
And you know what? I never, I never thought about it
like that. Honestly, I mean,
I mean, I like the analogy. I like
where you, I like, I like where you're going with it. You know, I don't really
talk about people like that, but I never thought about it like that, but I like where you're going with it. I don't really talk about people like that,
but I never thought about it like that.
You want to ask a myth.
You a widow, Ocho.
You ain't Ocho.
You ain't Ocho.
You wanted to do what you wanted to do,
but now look at me.
Now look at me when I come.
And you say you want to speak to him.
You want to speak to him. Yeah.
I think, you know what? You drop balls. Drop balls happen. You drop him to speak to him. I think, you know what?
You drop balls. Drop balls
happen. You drop them. I drop them.
And being that
maybe because Reek said what he said
through the
media about what he's going to do.
They're going to get this work.
But listen, he didn't have
a bad game. He was 8 for 62.
He lost it. He did lose the fumble.
Maybe trying to do a little too much. Maybe trying to do a little too much with the ball in his hands.
But that's the way he plays. That's the way he plays. And you never want to change that dynamic
of a special player like that. You're going to have games like this. It just came at the wrong
time. But what we've seen, Ochoe with the exception of the broncos the dolphins
keep starting slow remember they started out 14 nothing till the uh they was down to uh the giants
and we see them do the i think it was carolina not the giants it was carolina and then they come
on against teams with a winning record the oh and three averaging 17 points yeah teams that don't
have a winning record they're six and oh averaging 39 points no now yeah Teams that don't have a winning record, they're 6-0 averaging 39 points.
6-0.
Now,
I don't know
what Dolphin fans
want us to do.
Because all I know
is when they play somebody
that's on their level,
they're over.
And they average 39.
I mean,
17.
Right.
But when they play someone
that they can run over,
they're averaging 39 points.
I don't know.
The numbers just speak for themselves.
I mean, I ain't adding nothing.
I'm taking nothing away from them.
They play three teams with a winning record.
They're 0-3.
They play six teams that doesn't have a winning record.
They're 6-0.
Yeah, but see,
they're playing really well against teams
that are of a lesser caliber.
I'm going to say that.
I'm not going to be disrespectful
to the teams that are below 500, but teams that are of lesser caliber. And'm going to say that. I'm not going to be disrespectful to the teams that are below 500,
but teams that are of lesser caliber.
And in order for Miami to compete, obviously, in the playoffs,
games like today, where you almost had an opportunity to win,
you have to win those games.
Teams that are above 500, you have to play that much better
and minimize penalties, minimize errors,
so you always have an opportunity to win.
Yes.
Always.
And that's one of the reasons that they're not. The penalties are killing them.
The turnovers are killing them. And
obviously, you can't make
those mistakes. So let me ask you a question.
So, what am I supposed to do?
I haven't seen them do it against
really good teams. So am I supposed
to believe that they can do it, or do I wait
until they show me they can do it?
I think you should believe that they can do it, do I wait until they show me they can do it? I think you should believe
that they can do it because being down
21, being down
I mean, look at today. They lost
the game. They lost the game, but being down
21-zip and still fighting back to have
opportunity to actually tie that game
at the end against Kansas City
Chiefs are going to be, we would consider
we consider what
not the best team in the league right now,
but the way they're playing with the best quarterback.
You know, it was a great battle.
You do realize the team that just beat Kansas City last week,
the Dolphins on 70 on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you keep telling.
This is week to week now.
Come on now.
And the Chiefs, the Chiefs played hell,
goddamn great defense today. I see better than I the Chiefs play hell goddamn great defense today.
I see better than I hear.
The Chiefs play great defense today.
We got to give them some goddamn credit too.
Their defense is really outstanding.
I got a question.
I got a question.
And it's not even in the notes,
but I got to give a big up to goddamn Ladarius Sneed.
Did I say his name the right way?
Ladarius Sneed, yes.
Ladarius.
Oh my goodness.
One of the few times
I've seen someone...
The quick jam press he put on Reek.
I saw it twice.
And I tweeted it out
and said, wait a minute.
That's the first time I see someone actually time
the quick jam right and actually get a hand
on Reek. But most of the time, Reek is able
to dip a shoulder and get up under that
and be out of there. And that's
the first time I've seen it work since Tyreek
has been in the league. The first time.
And I don't think anyone else
has the you-know-what
to pull that against Reek, but Ladarius
Steed, if you see this, man, I salute you.
I've never seen that before.
Good game today. Very good game.
I'm definitely going to do it, especially very good game I'm definitely gonna do it
especially if I know
I got help over the top
at least once
because the guys
that used to be a bear
guys don't do it
as much as they used to
back in the day
because
you can latch on to the guy
guys will
they call it
freeze technique
they like to go
open up
bam
they right there
all of a sudden
you fighting to get off
the quarterback's
gonna go somewhere else
but yeah give him
I mean
think about it, Ocho.
They got Wilson on the field.
They got Waddle on the field, and they got Reek.
And Jim Ford says, I don't give a damn who on the field.
We finna blow this thing.
Right, right.
Yeah, that covers zero. That covers zero
as hell, man. That covers zero
as hell. Hey, shout
out to Sebastian and Faith for each
donating 50 pieces. You know what? They gave us
a 50 piece. Faith?
Wait, 50 what? What 50 piece

Ocho sing her nephew
a soulful happy birthday.
As a birthday gift,
I'll save everyone
the pain because I don't know
y'all heard Ocho.
Wait, she told me to sing a happy birthday.
Let me start.
Let me give him two lines.
Two lines.
I'm ready.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
That wasn't that bad, Ocho.
See, you said two lines.
I didn't even finish. No, no, no. Now you got to transition. That wasn't that bad, Ocho. See, you said two lines. I didn't even finish.
Now you got to transition.
You did good.
Them two lines was spot on.
Hey, I was going to hit that high note, though.
Oh, no.
I ain't high,
so I won't be able to take it.
But you did good.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, nephew.

It really means a lot to us.
And we are anticipated.
The Ravens did a good job on the Seattle.
They cheating, man.
Baltimore, the Ravens are allowing 13.8 a game. The last
time the Ravens were this dingy on defense
through the first nine games, I
happened to be on that team in 2000. They went on
to win the Super Bowl. Baltimore
has played three teams this season
that enter the game with a winning record.
They've beaten all three
by a combined score of 103
to 12.
You know what?
The Ravens are cheating.
That's the only thing I can think of.
The Ravens are cheating.
In this day and age,
in this era,
the Ravens are allowing 13 points a game.
This is a pass-happy,
throw the ball 250 million times a game,
and they're allowing teams to have 13 points a game.
Listen, listen to this.
The people that are watching at home,
to give you better context,
the last two games,
the Ravens outscored the last two opponents 75 to 9.
Let that sink in.
If you're playing Madden and you play somebody twice,
there's no way on a video game you're outscoring your last two people that you played Let that sink in. If you playing Madden and you play somebody twice,
there's no way on a video game you outscoring your last two people that you played 75-9, let alone do it in real life.
And Seattle is a good team.
It's not like the slouch.
They play really good.
You know they got those corners outside, Spoon and Warlin.
They got Quandre Diggs.
They got Adams.
They got those two studs at linebacker.
Hey,
they got a really good defensive
team. And you look at their
Smith, and you
got Lockett, you got DK, you got
Phan,
and Geno's been throwing the ball
really, really well. Now, the turnover's on.
But he's been playing really well.
I mean, Geno's got a good direction.
I mean, after he was at the Jets,
I don't think anybody thought
he could beat this.
Right.
But you got to understand,
he was at the Jets.
Yeah.
You know, at the Jets,
I mean, have we had a quarterback yet
to be successful at the Jets
based on the supporting cast around him?
Now it's a little bit better.
I like Zach,
but Geno is in a great place. He sat behind Russell Wilson for a few years. And the supporting cast around him. Now it's a little bit better. I like Zach, but Geno is in a great place.
He sat behind Russell Wilson for a few years
and the supporting cast that Geno has at his helm
makes him job that much easier
on top of the work that he's put in
and the work that he's put in is shown week to week.
It wasn't as good today,
obviously because of who they're playing
and who they had to play against.
Listen, the Ravens are high
and it pains me to say that, being that
my allegiance is to the Bengals,
but I have to give props where props is due.
Lamar had an okay game today.
I'm so happy to see them.
I'm so happy to see my dog.
Yeah.
He was a part of it.
Since the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl, when it was the Rams,
he had 5 and 56.
Gus Edwards had 5 carry
52 yards
he had 2 TDs
I mean they
the defense had 4 sacks
they lead the game
NFL with 35 sacks on the year
we in week 9
they got goddamn 35 sacks
they're pressing your quarterback
they're pressing your quarterback
Marlon Humphrey's back
being the Marlon Humphrey
they got a very very solid defense
Jackson Smith and Jigba that's his name Kellan Smith He brings back Ben to Marlon Humphrey. They got a very, very solid defense.
Jackson Smith and Jigba.
That's his name.
Callum Smith.
Yeah.
They call him J-S-N.
J-S-N because everybody be butchering his name.
So we're going to go with J-S-N.
Congrats, O.
Congrats, dog.
Your first tub.
Got the end zone.
That had to feel good.
Kind of frustrated because things hadn't been going his way. He wants, he just wants to show, I want to contribute.
I want to show I can still be,
I might not be the OBJ of the first three,
four years in the league before these injuries,
ACLs,
broke,
fractured ankle,
you know,
hernia,
surgery,
all the things that I've had going on.
I might not be that guy,
but I'm still more than capable of making plays for a team that gives me an
opportunity.
Mm-hmm.

Man, I saw something today,
and I kind of watched
this game, Ocho.
C.J. Stroud
is having the greatest
rookie season in history.
He threw 470 yards, a new NFL
rookie, single game
rookie, five touchdowns,
zero interceptions.
The man got to have a 75
yard game winning drive
with 46
seconds. He said, let me tell you what I'm going to do.
I'm going to take 40 and leave
six and change you filthy animal.
And the funny thing about some of
the passes, he threading the needle.
These ain't no people just wide open.
Accuracy.
Threading the needle. On the money.
Timing.
Receivers.
Man, guy right on his back.
Ball placement.
The funny thing about it is CJ Stroud is picking up where he left off at ohio state usually to me there's a learning curve
there's a learning curve there's a learning curve that you hit because when you're in the preseason
everything is vanilla so they throwing everything in the kitchen sink at you to confuse you as a
rookie quarterback and you are still having stellar performances week in and week out three receivers over 100 yards and a touchdown
three of them receiver had 54 take Dale having a year Dale Nico Harris all of those all of them
I mean those guys were phenomenal and all that and and a D'Amico Ryans. Let's give him some credit.
The head coach taking over.
Has that team playing exceptionally well.
In the first year at that.
First year.
And they're only going to get better.
In his first year.
Because C.J. Stroud is only going to get better.
His confidence is going to grow.
That team's confidence in him is going to grow.
The belief that he can go out there and win any game,
bro.
Do you understand how hard it is to do what he did today?
Yeah.
I mean,
this man is a rookie.
He's only played nine games,
eight,
nine games.
And he went and got the ball.
He says,
okay,
man,
y'all,
Hey,
I guess he went Brady mode.
He said,
cause that's,
that's easy.
That's,
that's the pressure situation.
That's the pressure situation. That's a pressure situation
where a rookie quarterback
who's not familiar with it,
college is one thing,
but the NFL is another.
Familiar with it,
listen,
when you're in a situation like that,
you can't make no mistakes.
You can't make no mistakes.
And sometimes pressure busts pipes.
But for him to be in that position,
to have his team
have a chance to win the game,
46 seconds on the clock, what's the first thing you do?
You press. You try to do too much.
Nah, I got this.
Acting like he's been here before. And that's exactly
what he's playing like. And here's the thing, Coach O.
Because he's a rookie,
if he doesn't get it done with 46
seconds, we're going to excuse it because
he is a rookie. He'll
learn from this, and he'll get from this and he'll get better.
Right.
He'll be able to,
he'll be able to finish the job in the future.
Right.
He's like,
no,
right.
I'm going to finish this today.
I got right now.
Right now.
Right now.
And went and got it done.
Everybody in the chat seems to be talking about something and they ask,
and that's what we do because we go live when you
ask we receive and we listen right oh joe your mention seems to be a little bit busier than
they normally are keith lee posted video on tiktok asking you what are your qualifications
to have a firm stance on this topic.
And I saw you going back and forth with a lot of people.
Oh, yeah.
I was having some fun.
What is your retort
to what Keith Lee had to say?
I like his response.
His response was really good.
It was really good.
Listen,
the wordplay and the delivery
in which he responded
in such a,
such a refreshing, respectful way. There's really nothing.
There's really nothing you can say. And the funny thing about it is,
is the way the, the way it was edited. Cause one of the things I spoke on,
I spoke on him and about maybe the negativity of some,
some of the critiques,
but after my research
and after my daughter getting on me
and me doing my homework after the fact.
Yeah, that was the problem.
You don't wait until you flunk the class
and then start doing homework.
You do homework.
Hold on.
Hold on now.
Hold on now.
Let me finish.
Let me finish now.
You know, he doing some goddamn good,
phenomenal goddamn work.
Some beautiful work.
Hey, listen.
Matter of fact, listen.
You know, obviously, I apologize.
But I'm team Keith Lee, too, now.
I'm team.
Matter of fact, when he do full reviews, I'm going, too.
Oh!
Yeah, I'm going, too.
I can see you, DB.
Yeah.
Matter of fact, you know, matter of fact, I'm going to change my last name to Ocho of fact You know matter of fact I'm going to change
My last name
To Ocho Lee
That's how
Yeah
Hey
Everybody
Ocho Lee
How many people
Not live right now
How many we got
We got 17,000
The last time I seen
A man backpedal like this
I was in the league
That was prime time
I ain't never seen
A man backpedal like this
Well shit
Hey
I can see you played
Listen
I can see you did play corner when you were younger.
I told you I played corner.
Get up out of there.
Yeah, but listen.
Listen to me.
Listen to me now.
I did have a few.
You listen to me?
Are you listening to me?
So I did have a few people from Atlanta restaurants reach out to me. I did have a few people from Atlanta restaurants reach out to me. And I'm just going to read one of the messages from one of the owners from the restaurant. Stay with me. Those that are watching, stay with me. With all due respect to Keith Lee and what he's doing, but listen to me, stay with me. Thank you for your message. I agree with you 100%.
They don't realize that they have a level of responsibility with their reach.
Bad reviews shared with 14 million followers will ruin a small business.
We've been struggling to stay afloat, so definitely couldn't afford a bad review.
Now, better context from what I said, because even when I said what I said about the critiques,
listen, about having the qualifications, because even when I said what I said about the critiques,
listen, about having the qualifications,
you do remember I ended everything with I love what Keith Lee is doing.
That ain't what you said.
I love...
Yes, it is.
I remember that.
I remember it,
because for one,
you know how I talk.
What's the first thing I say?
I love everybody.
Now, I might not...
Listen, I might not agree
with what you're doing,
but I do everything and everything I say, I do it with love, I might not, listen, I might not agree with what you're doing, but I do everything
and everything I say,
I do it with love.
But I said,
one of the things,
when it comes to us,
when it comes to owning stuff,
when it comes to owning stuff,
we are,
it's very few of us.
It's very few of us.
And it's hard.
It's hard to get us
to support each other.
It's very difficult because it's hard to get people to come to our establishments because they always want to go to other establishments.
We're viewed as, wait a minute, as a symbol of status and a symbol of I have money.
Oh, yo.
So, listen, stay with me.
Stay with me.
I'm just saying.
You know I'm not lying.
Stay with me. Stay with me. I'm just saying, you know, you know, you know, I'm not lying. Stay with me a little bit. We want to go to the to the Chris Roos and the STKs and all the all the fancy stuff. So at times for us, the smaller businesses, you know, anytime you get any any any inclination of any type of bad review, it it affects and and we are uh i hate using the word the the i hate using the word
monkey see monkey do that that's that's not that's not a good one but but you want you want all
praises to be right for people to always want to come to your restaurant and again on the other on
the other half on the flip side are reading some of the comments from some of the people. Like, we have to be better when it comes to our business.
To where business is A1 and it feels like you're at a five-star restaurant.
So, on the flip side of that, we have to be better at doing right by the customer.
So, I saw both sides of it.
And at the end of the day, you know what?
You know my black ass.
I love it.
Listen, I love every goddamn body.
Even some of the people That was talking shit
I love your ass
Motherfucking too
And
We good now
And
I enjoy
I enjoy
I enjoy
Goddamn Keith Lee
The motherfucking response
But the way he did
The response
Was so fucking classy
And
I'm
I'm Ocho Lee now
Well
Can I
This is where
This is where I want to go
I'm going to be
With that business owner That sent you because you got to do better.
You're in the service business.
It's not my responsibility.
It's your responsibility.
How about this here?
Stop charging 25%, 30% for a party of four.
Stop charging $100 to park outside.
Stop making people wait an hour and a half, two hours to get to your restaurant.
Yeah. They do that? Yes, they do that.
Oh, you can't come in here with that.
Oh, you got to have a three-piece suit on.
Oh, you got to have red bottoms on.
Oh, you got to have this. Stop trying to
make people kiss your butt to get
into your establishment.
You're in the service business.
I didn't tell you to go into the restaurant business.
You chose to do that. So now by you choosing to go into the service business. I didn't tell you to go into the restaurant business. You chose to do that.
So now by you choosing to go into the service business, provide the service that make me want to come.
You said something, say, well, do that to Mastro, do that to Ruth Chris, and do that to this.
You do realize, like a lot of these high-end restaurants, before they open, they invite people in to come in.
Oh, the service was great.
Oh, the...
Can I tell you something?
When it comes to entities
of that magnitude,
those type of five-star restaurants,
the critics ain't going to move the needle
because people are going to see them regardless.
No, no, no.
You get enough...
The critics...
You get enough...
No, no, no.
That's not true, Ochoa.
The food... If the food's no, no. That's not true, Ochoa. The food, the food.
If the food's not, you know.
Let's say, let's say,
let's say Gordon Ramsay.
I'm going to throw
Gordon Ramsay's name out
because somebody said
Keith Lee did a review
on Gordon Ramsay.
When it comes to somebody
like Gordon Ramsay,
he's going to always
continue to eat
regardless of what
any critic says.
But let me ask you a question.
Always.
But when Gordon Ramsay
go into people's restaurant
and he yelling and screaming in his face,
what did you say?
I want to know what you said.
What did you say about Gordon Ramsay doing that?
Huh?
When Gordon Ramsay
goes in people's restaurant
and he's yelling and screaming,
and he's, what is this? This is terrible.
What did you say? Oh, I don't know. I've never seen him do it. And it's, what is this? This is terrible. What did you say?
Oh, I don't know.
I've never seen him do it.
I'm just, I'm going after, after listening.
Have you ever seen him do it?
How do you know what he does?
Because everybody brought everything to my attention.
So I'm just learning all this.
You know, you know, I don't care.
I don't be into all that, man,
all that restaurant stuff and foodie and all that.
I don't know nothing about that.
You know what I eat. You need to go to Atlanta. You need about that you know you need to go to some of them establishments and when you go in there when you try to go in
there dress like you normally dress and they say you can't come in here mr hotel where they go
hey you know what's funny is this is ridiculous and then i should be ashamed of myself for this
i've been on this goddamn earth 55 years.
I've been to Atlanta maybe four times, and two of those would have played the goddamn Falcons.
Atlanta is not a place I visit frequently because I don't club, I don't party.
Unless it's an event of some sort, I had to do Super Bowl one year.
But I never frequent Atlanta.
But now that I have, I need to go visit some of these restaurants so I can see what it is everybody
is talking about.
I would like to see what it is.
Now, this is interesting. I need to
make this an extra hobby of mine
outside of playing video games all the time.
I need to go check out these restaurants
and just experience
and do something new because this is all new for me.
I shouldn't have to go. I shouldn't have to eat a meal
before I go to a restaurant
because the wait's going to be
an hour and a half,
two and a half hours.
I shouldn't have to kiss your butt
to go into your restaurant.
Okay, I'm not this.
Wait, is it that bad
or are you exaggerating?
You got to help me.
Help me now.
I'm not trying to be funny.
I haven't been to a...
I like Thumbs Up.
It's a breakfast spot. I think Aub trying to be funny. I haven't been to a... I like Thumbs Up. It's a breakfast spot.
I think Auburn Avenue over there.
I go in there.
Hey, I wait my turn.
Hey, what's the wait?
They, you know,
I can get you at the bar
and say like five minutes,
10 minutes,
guys closing
or somebody closing out their tab.
Fine.
And I eat and I leave.
If it's a small restaurant,
let's just say it's a small restaurant to hold 50 people.
Ocho, I'm not trying to hold a damn conversation for two hours.
Man, get your ass up and leave.
Somebody else want that table.
Y'all eat, take an hour to eat, and then you want to sit there for another hour and a half.
Get your ass up.
Wait a minute.
Don't people have rules in place that once you finish your food, you have to get up and leave?
Yes, they should.
But that ain't what they do.
Everybody want to talk to him
and want you to see what they got,
their new Birkin bag,
their new disc bag.
He want to be dressed like this.
Man, they time out for this, man.
See, this is all new to me.
I don't know about nothing like that
because I don't venture out
outside of my normal routine. I got 10 minutes. That's what I got my wait time in. I don't know about nothing like that because I don't venture out outside of my normal routine.
I got 10 minutes.
That's what I got my wait time in.
I got 10 minutes.
Just like y'all tell me,
hold on,
just like they tell us
we holding reservations,
you got a 10-minute grace period.
If I book a reservation
at 8 o'clock,
I got till 8, 10
to get my ass there.
Okay.
If I make a reservation
for 7, 30,
don't be trying to get me
at 745, 8 o'clock
because that ain't going
to fly with me.
Because I'm going to
act like a GD fool.
See, you know what's funny?
Like, reading the comments,
especially on Twitter
from the people,
they...
I thought they were
exaggerating a little bit.
They were saying
some of the same stuff.
Oh, you need to bring your funny looking ass to Atlanta
so you could experience this shit.
And I thought they were exaggerating
just because of the situation.
And then now you so goddamn passionate about the shit.
So I know it got to be goddamn real
if you acting like this.
Oh, Joe, but here's the thing.
What he does is that that's why he sends his family in, because he doesn't want special treatment.
Because once they find out with him, oh, we can get you right in.
He doesn't want special treatment.
Right.
And if you notice, he eats the food in his car.
Right.
So he, hey.
And he's like, hey, I called ahead.
They said they couldn't do it.
Do it, ask, wouldn't do this, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, fine.
Right.
Like I'm saying, look, I'm not, and don't look i i'm i understand who i am and have i've gotten
special privileges sure but if i make a reservation if you tell me i only got a 10 minute grace
period well you only got a 10 minute grace period to sit get me down for my reservation or then it's
going to be a problem because don't tell me don't tell me my reservations at eight
and you get me at 8 30 or 8 45 or wish are for mr wood the inconvenience because if i came late
you're gonna say you can't sit me you can't seat me right so nah nah bro this thing go both ways
you see that's the problem and and i'm never gonna be one of these people i don't believe
because someone is my same complexion,
they'll be young.
Right.
And sometimes people are like, no,
we're trying to help you get better at servicing people.
Right.
That's one thing we are.
If we're not anything else,
sometimes we're loyal to a fault.
We have sometimes become a slave to loyalty.
All we want is appreciation.
Don't give us your butt to kiss.
Right.
Can I say something?
I'm thinking about us
and how difficult it is for us
to do anything,
just in general.
It's very difficult to own,
not even just restaurants.
I'm just saying in general.
It's difficult to run a business.
So for me, you know how I am. You can't even get me to talk about NFL players. You can't even get me to do that. So imagine anything else going on in the world, which is why my whole mantra has always been love. It's always motherfucking love. If I was at a restaurant and I had a problem with it, I couldn't be no goddamn food critic. You know why? Because I ain't got shit to critique. Stay with me. Stay with me real quick. If I do have a bad experience at a restaurant, right? Guess who I'm going to go to?
I'm going to go to the manager. I'm going to say, hey, man, listen, man, listen, I love your
restaurant, but you need to talk to little Susie over there. Little Susie, I'm not sure, maybe she
having a bad day today, but if anybody else coming here, they ain't going to like that.
They ain't going to like that. You need to just help out a little bit. Hey, listen, man, I had
to send the food back twice. I ordered some, it ain't come back. that. They ain't going to like that. You need to just help out a little bit. Hey, listen, man, I had to send the food back twice.
I ordered something.
It ain't come back.
You know, it came out cold
or they put cucumbers on it.
I mean, whatever it may be,
I just, I like,
I don't want to be a part of the problem.
I like to be a part of the solution,
but I like to do it privately,
if that makes sense,
because I understand how hard it is.
Let me ask you a question.
I just want to know one thing.
When do you like doing stuff privately?
Because every time you leave a big tip, you put it on social know one thing. When do you like doing stuff privately? Because every time you look at Big Kip,
you put it on social media.
So when do you like to do stuff privately?
Hey, did you hear what you just said?
Because I want everybody else
to start doing the same thing.
No.
Are you doing it for them
or are you doing it for me?
Wait, stay with me.
Well, I've been doing it
a goddamn 24 years now.
That ain't nothing new.
Because everybody loves trends.
Every time it's something on TikTok,
every time it's a muffin and dance,
what everybody do?
But here's the thing, Ocho.
Stay with me.
I would love for people to pick up
and start doing that.
Think about how much better it would be
in the service industry
if everybody go out there
and not tip the wagon.
I'm not saying that.
But you pay for bad service, Ocho. That's foolish. If everybody go out there, not tip the wagon, I'm not saying that, but just do it like that.
That's foolish.
If you stay in the department
and your water doesn't work,
your electricity doesn't work,
and the washing and drying and the plumbing don't work,
you going to still pay your rent?
Oh, no, no. Hey,
stay with me, baby. I haven't experienced bad
service because I never venture out of my
same restaurants, man. Stay with me. That's what I'm telling you. Now, I use an example. I haven't experienced bad service because I never venture out of my same restaurants, man. Stay with me.
That's what I'm telling you. Now, I use
an example. I use an example where
I said on Twitter,
somebody went up, were you paying for bad service?
And I thought about it. I'm like, well, damn,
if the service is bad,
at times,
sometimes it's out of people's control.
Maybe somebody might be having a bad day, but I don't
want to fuck up them.
Wait, let me finish.
Wait, wait, hold on. Stay with me, baby.
I don't want to mess up
whatever it is. They're relying
on that tip.
You keep talking about them having a bad day.
What if that person came in
and he or she
wanted a nice meal and they
wanted to sit down.
What about them having a bad day?
You do realize bad days happen to other people other than people in the church.
Everybody, yeah, you're right.
I like them.
What about me?
Am I not allowed to have a bad day?
I love you, baby.
I love you.
I'm just looking at it.
I'm just looking at it.
We're going to move on to something else.
You say you love everybody.
Yeah.
If a person is overweight and they keep eating bad, are you going to tell them they need to stop eating like that because you're going to develop heart disease?
You're going to develop diabetes?
Because if you love them, you will tell them that.
Yeah.
Right.
So would you do that?
Yeah.
See, I'm too nice for this shit. I can't. See, I'm too nice for this shit.
I can't do that.
I'm too nice for this shit.
So, you don't love them.
You don't love these people.
Oh, I love them.
You know, I ain't even going to tell them I love them.
I'm going to just tell them, man, come with me to the gym.
No, no, no.
You doing this, you got to do this.
I love...
See, Ocho, the thing is with you is that I'm not so sure this trend that you're trying
to get started because it's like...
What trend?
But I've been doing it.
This ain't about no trend.
I've been doing this on my own for 27 years.
But you're posting it.
That's just what I do.
Why are you posting it?
I do stuff for people that don't nobody know.
Most of the time when I give money-
And I do the same.
I do the same thing.
A lot of times when I give money to charity,
I put it in somebody else's name because I don't want them to know it came from me.
I don't want no fanfare.
I give people big tips.
They don't need to know.
If they want to tell somebody,
I'm never going to confirm nor deny it.
Okay, but that's on you.
What do they got to do with me?
Because you want people to see.
You want that adulation.
It's like if you help somebody.
I see these people on social media helping the homeless.
Can I ask you something?
Why you got to put everything on social homeless. Can I ask you something? Why you got to put everything on social media?
Can I ask you something?
When all the billionaires donate,
when all the billionaires donate,
do they want to adulate?
They don't put it on social media.
What billionaires put it on social media?
What billionaires put it on social media?
How you think it get out? How you think on social media? How you think it get out?
How you think it get out?

I've been posting it the past 20 years.
How you got a problem with that?
The camera phone ain't been out for no 20 years.
But it's okay.
But that's neither here nor there.
That's not there with no social media.
I've been doing it the past 20 years.
That is for you.

I'm posting this for Uncle Shannon.
But let me ask you a question.
Now what?
You said that, you know, Shannon, you need to be more.
You're buying $10,000. How is it that
you pay for somebody else's fine that you didn't
even incur? How is that financial responsibility?
How is it?
Did he get fined? I'm just asking you a question.
Did you not pay Joe Mixon's
fines last year?
Yeah, it was small that wasn't a lot
you're paying for something that you didn't incur how is that financially responsible
it did occur because it was my idea i'm just asking you a simple question you keep talking
about financial literacy how is how is that response financial responsibility that you're
paying for something that you didn't occur it's it's financial responsibility because I know how to manage my money.
That's why I haven't played the game in 12 years
and still have it.
That's why.
I can take the opportunity.
Wait, stay with me.
I can take the opportunity
to pay a goddamn fine
because I know how to take care of my goddamn money.
That's why.
Damn.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's how.
That's how. Hey, listen. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stay with me. Well, damn. Thank you. Thank you. That's hot. That's hot.

So you don't think I got enough bread to buy a $10,000 dog
Yeah you do
But I don't like you buying no $10,000 dog
You know why? Because the dog don't like you buying no $10,000 dog. You know why?

Made for This Mountain is a podcast
that exists to empower listeners
to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma,
and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say,
hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself
to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being,
and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please people.
Your mountain is that.
Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company.
The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything
but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche
into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out
there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media,
marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide and hear how leaders like Anjali are
carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General... I'm Leon Nafak, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation
nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.

In my home state, a Georgia restaurant goes viral.
They added $50 to the parents' bill saying the kids belonged at Burger King.
Say they too bad.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Normally,
when you go into an establishment,
obviously you have customers that are coming,
paying customers that are coming. They're coming for
a service. We've been talking about all night
a service. And if you come in there
with bad kids,
that's a bad thing.
It is. I mean, look,
I get it.
Parents want to, you know, sometimes.
Can you charge?
You can't charge.
I'm going to put it on the menu before you get it.
Your kid's bad for the dollars.
How does behavior, behavior has nothing that doesn't come with a price or an amount.
I'm trying to understand how can they get away with that.
You want to eat here?
You either have your kids
in order to let you see.
If your kids stop being bad,
you wouldn't have to worry about that.
I ain't never had to worry about
paying extra for my kids being bad
because they already do.
I ain't never heard of that.
I ain't never heard of that.
I'm not even sure.
I'm not even sure
that's ethical.

I shop another day.
It's 100 degrees and you got to... Everything might be just right with it,
but I ain't going to find out.
I'm just going to...
They ain't got no more use to it.
When I was growing up, you had to get
on the steering wheel
the gear collar, now you just
I'm good with that
Brandy and Monica, you know people
still heated about Brandy and Monica
who you like
who you think won, Monica or Brandy

legends, I love Brandy, but I gotta go with Monica, they, them legends, man. Them, them, those are, those are two legends.
I love Brandon.
But I got to go with Monica.
Monica from the crib.
Monica from the, hey, I ain't going to get no one from the crib.
Yeah, I like, I like, yeah.
Like, Gunica, Gunica.
Stepping on shoes.
She don't play.
You know, stepping on people's shoes used to call the fight, though, Ocho.
Yeah.
Oh, easy.
Stepping on shoes.
Easy.
Don't, don't step on people's shoes.
I mean, you in the crowd.
Ocho, you in the club with 500 people.
And you asking them, man, God damn.
I'm like, bro, you see, I'm trying to squeeze.
I'm trying to get skinny as a mofo to get past.
I'm sorry.
You can't wear your good shoes to the club.
You know they're going to get stabbed on.
And don't let it be white.
Don't have on no white Air Force 1.
Oh, man.
Don't put on.
You know, we got to see it face.
Don't have on no white.
We got to see it face in the door.
Because we got to see who coming in Can't have you back to the door
You got
You can't have you back to the door
I got to see how
That's a sin
And clock it out on time
That is a sin
Oh black people
It's two things we gonna do
Two things we gonna do
We gonna clock out on time
And we take a break
Lunch break
Or we break?
I'm getting a whole hour.
From the B to the K.
A break. You know what I do, Ocho?
From the time I start
eating, that's when my break starts.
That's when the hour
starts. I ain't talking about
I gotta warm the food up
and start eating.
That's when the album definitely came out.
Because if you think
I'm going to take my break
and I got to walk
way down the hall
and I got to warm the food up,
10 minutes already gone by.
Oh, no, I'm getting all out.
A whole hour of that.
Yeah.
Hey, listen, boy,
that's what black folk,
what they funny boy,
black folk funny now.
College football fans felt ABC lingered too long
on Caleb Williams' emotional moment with his family after the loss.
Bro, this guy about to be the number one pick in the draft.
Ocho, do they understand what kind of responsibility
that comes along with that?
You think the camera's on him now.
What you think going to come along?
The expectation would
be the number one it's different there's a difference between being the number one overall
pick at d-line or virus or quarterback the quarterback
there's a whole the friend the the franchise quarterback at that this ain't just no any
number one pick this is arguably the best collegiate quarterback.
In a long time, that's what he said.
Almost ever.
In a long time.
Long time.
It's too emotional.
Hey, is it bad for him to cry like that, you think?
Or does that show his passion and love for the game?
His passion for the game.
But you know what, Ocho?
He won the Heisman last year.
And, you know, I thought he had a great chance.
And I thought he would have a great chance to win because his defense was so bad.
So he would have to put numbers up just to keep them in.
But his defense is so bad that if he has one mistake, the game gets out of hand.
They're giving up 52. They're giving up 40.
I'm like, he's like what damn
he's like yeah they are it's hard to not have one off day everybody's gonna have one off day like
you said hotel you know you they might somebody might be having a bad day every quarterback
from brady to manning from elway every quarterback has had a bad day and so you know this picked me
up today he never had i mean i can't remember. Maybe he has,
but I can't get,
I can't, I can't,
I can't,
I can't remember him
bailing him out.
Yeah, man.
That's crazy.
Oh, that's crazy.
Yeah, but it was tough.
I didn't have a problem with it
because you don't have,
they don't have a problem
when he's hugging his family
and they win it.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, family and they win it. Yeah.
I mean, we got to stop it.
We don't got too sensitive now.
We complain about everything.
Oh, that's the era we in.
You might as well get used to it because it ain't going to get no better.
This ain't like back in the day now.
It ain't going to get no better.
You know, you have to adjust and evolve with the times.
Yes, yes.
But, bro, I mean, I understand he's in college,
but, I mean,
they had the camera on him. He's emotional.
They had the camera on him
when he was winning last year and he's hugging his family
and stuff. Bro, we can't just pick
and choose. Oh,
give him a moment. Oh, give him a
moment. Come on, now.
Hey, he about to come play with the big boys.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And it Come on now Hey He about to come play With the big boys Yeah Oh yeah
And it ain't
Too much crying
Going on the sideline
Nah
Ain't too much
Nah
It's
Anything
Did we leave out Ocho?
No
I would like to revisit
Something
And I think
I think it's
Very important
And for the
People that are listening
And I'm sure they're...
I know we can revisit whatever we want.
I know we can revisit whatever we want.
Yeah, I think that there are a lot of people
that are entrepreneurs.
There are a lot of people
that are running businesses,
whether it be small,
whether they be big,
that are watching.
And I think to address it one more time,
and you know my love for...
Keith Lee. For showing love to everybody know my love for... Keith Lee.
For showing love to everybody.
My love for Keith Lee as well.
But what advice,
since I know a lot of people are watching
and we're not as passionate
as we were earlier on the topic,
what advice would you have
for those who are business owners
or owners of restaurants
or owners of last companies
or doing nails or doing hair,
whatever it may be that can continue to help progress their business in the right way.
What advice would you have? You have to do everything you possibly can to treat.
In my company, I treat everybody the same. I treat Ash. I treat Jordanordan i treat cj colin uh jamie michael everybody we all treated the same
yeah people have different positions but you're a person you have feelings you have things going on
and they know they got something to come to me, we going to talk about it.
Now, I ain't no big fan of lateness.
Don't make way.
Everybody know that.
Everybody know that.
So that's what you got.
But when you're in the service business, Ocho, take it.
I mean, we got a podcast.
I listen to what people say.
They say, well, Shannon, when you have the game,
we need you to talk about more than one or two teams.
What do we do?
We have five, six teams we talked about.
What we got in the storytelling.
Well, Shannon, we need you to do more of this.
So I listen because I'm trying to give them.
Now, we're going to talk about what we talk about,
but we're going to try to give the customer, the consumer,
what they want to hear.
Because a lot of times, a lot of the complaints that we got when I was on the other show,
we're saying all you talked about was one player.
All you talked about was one game.
Well, now we have our own platform, Ocho.
We can get the Bengals in.
We can get the Cowboys in.
We can get Kansas City.
We can get C.J. Stroud in.
We can get things like that because it's ours.
We can talk about stuff that a lot of other people don't get an opportunity to talk about because we are sports.
Like I said, people come for the sports.
They stay for the stories.
And so we have an opportunity.
We talked about the Ravens and the Seahawks.
Odell kept me in touch down.
Obviously, Keith Lee was something viral.
He talked about things that black people take serious.
A little tongue-in-cheek, have fun with it.
But what you got to do, you got to listen to him.
And we got to stop being so,
oh, you trying to break. No, what we're trying to do
is that we're trying to help you elevate.
Because...
That's why I asked
you that question, just so we could
finish on a high note.
another thing, a lot of people
always ask, so to give a little bit more clarification on why my focal point was on
the service industry, and you kept saying, why always them? What about me? Is I somewhat empathize
with the service industry in a sense, you know, and that's why I've always been guided that way and to always, you know, always do them a certain way based on the personalities, the entitlement that they have to deal with daily, dealing with multiple personalities.
So that's that's the viewpoint. I was looking at it from a different lens.
But listen to you, listen to some of the followers, some of the some of the people that tweeted me, you know, the past two days.
Now I have a broader vision, you know, the past, the past two days, uh, now I have a broader vision, you know,
now from both sides of the spectrum. So I see things differently and that that's, that's,
that's a great thing. And I'm glad I was able to, to see it like that, to hear you and to hear them.
And the funny thing, even if, even if, even if I didn't respond, whether you insult to me or not,
I saw it, I saw it, I appreciate it. And so I feel much better because now that I'm informed, because I've been in such a box when it comes to eating and the way I do things is I've done it one way and that's it. So I didn't know about the other side of it. And next time, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to do motherfucking research. But you know what's hard to do with research? You got to read, right? You got to read when it comes to research. Punk, I don't know how to read.
That's right. You can count up. I done to research punk i don't know how to read that's
right you can count i'd have made it as far yeah i don't know how to read you know you just say
i ain't no i ain't no mathematician but i can count to a couple of million
oh yeah i can count i can count to them and that's the thing though joe i think the thing
is for me the problem that i have i don't have a problem with that you disagree with me,
but you don't have to insult me when you disagree with me.
Okay, we disagree.
You like this?
I didn't.
You like blue?
I like yellow.
You like this?
I like that.
But why do you have to insult me?
We're having a conversation.
We disagree.
Right.
That's the only problem that I have with social media but i like that
though i mean i'm one i'm go ahead go ahead go ahead what are you gonna say i'm one of the few
i'm one of the few and i've been on social media for so long is i enjoy the banter back and forth
with the insults because i like the insult back. I think I lost it a little bit. That Liberty City came out of me
a little bit one time
and I'm like,
man, boy, what you doing, man?
This is something that you're used to
and you love going back and forth
and bantering,
even if it's insults.
And it got to the point
where I lost myself once,
but then the people that were insulting,
I started doing my normal,
you know what?
I love you too.
And just shooting back that way.
But I was listening
right i was reading everything yeah that's the idiots uh the the idiots the the the all all that
all that i like it and i mean you know it doesn't bother me because i'm used to it but um again
those those that are watching those that are watching that never watched before, I heard you.
I see you.
I still love you.
Keith Lee, I know you're going to see this.
I love you, too.
I see you used to do MMA.
If you want to get in the octagon, get in the ring with me.
That man would beat you up and then take you to dinner.
That's what that man do to you.
Beat you down.
Yeah, okay.
Anyway, like I was saying.
We done got too old to tussle.
We can't tussle.
Let me finish
what I'm saying, man.
Ocho, you done gave the man the kudos.
You ain't even let me finish.
Keith, I love what you're doing, baby.
Anytime, man.
I'm here. Keith, he just playing, Keith.
He play too much, Keith. It's all
good, though.
Anyway, I hate to go I'm here. Keith, he just playing Keith. You know, he play too much Keith. It's all good, though. But that's all.
Anyway, hey, Unc.
Wait, wait, wait.
Anyway, I hate to go off topic.
You talk about Tussle.
I'm fighting in February.
Make sure you,
I'm going to get you tickets ringside.
But anyway, go ahead.
What you were saying?
That's my only thing, Ocho.
Because we're one of the few celebrities, Ocho,
that we will respond.
Most of the celebrities,
I'm not no a-list
but i'm i'm a i'm a little small oh boy you a-list now that's what you're not don't don't do that
you a-list but i you a-list i mean i i mean guys you know kansas city you know this team that team
i respond you ask me a question i can't get to everybody's question but when you disagree
and then you feel you got to insult me,
bro, I'm like,
bro, that ain't necessary.
You got to have tough skin on.
Don't let that bother you.
You got to have tough skin.
Ocho, I got a thousand jokes.
I'm on number seven.
Oh, I can like that.
So they don't,
listen here,
for real though,
for real, I keep that thing on me.
I keep that joke.
You can wait.
You got that thing on you? I keep that joke thing on me. You got that thing on you?
I keep that joke thing on me.
Oh, I can never have it.
But you know, I'm in a different place now.
I work for Disney.
You know what I mean?
He got the little ears.
He got the little ears.
You know?
Hey, you know, that's one of the few things I don't like,
is I don't want to get so a I don't want to get so high
where I can't
I can't be myself
I can't
I
that just
it doesn't bother me
but I just want to be able to

He coached all my uncles, all my aunts, me and my brother for 50 years.
Drove every single day from Savannah to Glenville.
That's 65 miles one way.
Now, a lot of times he would drive to Glenville, take us to Savannah for track meets,
drive us home, take everybody home, and then drive back to Savannah.
Before you go, let me tell you, I had one thing.
You know what?
When I played, I had one rule.
When I played, I played football, basketball, and ran track.
I had one rule.
Yes, sir.
In order for me to play a sport, they had to take my aunt home.
My aunt had to ride the bus home.
My sister would bring her, drop her off.
Yeah.
In order for me to play that sport, when it came time to go,
right.
She got on the bus with us.
Yeah.
I like that.
She got in the van with us.
That was the only way.
That was the only,
that was the only rule that I had.

She was at every track meet.
She was at every basketball game.
And at the end of the night, she got on the bus with us.
She got on the bus.
That was my only thing.
I like that.
I appreciate Coach Hall.
I appreciate all my coaches that allowed my aunt to come to the game
because that's what she enjoyed doing.
So I really appreciate that. I wanted to share that story

to do that, but
