Before we even start the takeaway, before we even start the takeaway, I want you to just say it with me real quick, baby. Just do me that solid and say it with me real quick. Dak Prescott beat the San Diego Chargers.

Just say that for me. Man, go ahead, old man. Go around. What was your takeaway? So you can't say that for me before we start go ahead. What was your takeaway? So you can't say that for me before we start? Oh, hold on. I thought it was a team game. Oh, it's always...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You like to pick and choose when it's a team game. But right now, I just want you to... The sample size that Dak gave you tonight, I want you to just say it with me. That's what you already talked about. The sample size that Dak has shown in the past seven to eight years. You mean to tell me I'm paying $40 million for a sample?

Listen. I better be getting the whole thing. I don't want no sample. You get samples, you go to Costco, and they give you a little toothpick. Or they give you a little spoon or something to eat. But can you get... Tonight, right?

Tonight? Yeah, yeah. Dak Prescott, he beat the San Diego Chargers on the road. Well, I don't know about the San Diego Chargers. I know about the L.A. Chargers. L.A. Chargers.

All right, L.A., L.A., San Diego. It's all in the same vicinity. Listen. No, I think San Diego is a little further south. It's all in the same vicinity. Listen, the Cowboys played a great game.

Defensively, they played a great game. Oh, yes. Defensively, they played a great game. Oh, yes. Defensively, they played a great game. Let me finish. Let me finish. You asked for my take, right? They played a good game. They might not play a great game as opposed to what we're used to seeing them play,

but Dak Prescott, at the half, he was 15 for 21 for 161 yards despite having no completions outside of one over 20 yards. He was 15 for 21 for 160, 161 yards despite having no completions outside of one over 20 yards. He played efficient football. Keeping his team in a game and the most important stat

for Dak Prescott. I can stand on bending bites of the night, Dak. I love you, baby. No turnovers. No turnovers, which was the most important stat for me outside of what Dak did tonight. CeeDee Lamb had a day. CeeDee Lamb had a day. Gallup had a few passes that he should have had.

He had a touchdown. The score could have been even bigger than what it was. He missed one in the end zone. Gallup, we can't do that. We need passes and catches like that on the back end because that could mean something and a game of importance we were able to get away with it tonight yeah Dak missed it missed I think he missed he overshot Gallup once I think I know he overshot uh Pollard on one yeah um but what this

is where I push back you say the Cowboys the Cowboys had 14 penalties yeah they had 11 accepted penalties they had seven pre-snap penalties. Too many men on the field. Twice. Twice. Too many men on the field twice. Illegal shift. Illegal formation.

Defensive offside. False start. Defensive offside. So are you sure you want to frame that? That Dallas, you could, I mean, what are we doing? In the game of football, there's ups and downs in anything. In the game of life football there's ups and downs in anything in the game of life there's ups and downs yes you you strive to be perfect at all times you practice the coaches preachers you go through x's and o's you go through schemes you go to all type of tactical

stuff you want to be as perfect as possible but through right through the through the through a game you're going to have mistakes like this it's going going to creep up. 14? Even 14. We just talked about it the night before last. Hell, the Colorado Bucks had 17. And that cost them a game. This is the NFL. One of the things you practice most is discipline. And they had 14.

So remember, you and I had a conversation. And you say, I like that. I'm going to use that. You never accept anything in a win. You wouldn't in a loss. Okay. So had they lost this game, would you have been okay with those 14 penalties? You know what?

You know what I'm going to do? My grandma always said, never live off hypotheticals. Live off facts. And the fact of the matter is the Cowboys won despite the 14 penalties. But it might be. But listen, if you're playing a different team under different circumstances and a game of importance, you might not be able to come those penalties. But it might be, but listen, if you're playing a different team under different circumstances and a game of importance, you might not be able to come those penalties.

So you got to fix it now. And this is the perfect time to go into a bye week with a win. Yes. Dak Prescott, baby. Say it with me. Dak Prescott be the San Diego Chargers? Oh, my bad. L.A. Chargers. L.A. Chargers. Excuse me. Yeah, but I'm not surprised that Dak played as well as he did considering the Chargers have the 32nd ranked pass defense. Oh, my bad. L.A. Chargers. L.A. Chargers. Excuse me. Yeah, but I'm not surprised that Dak played as well as he did

considering the Chargers have the 32nd-ranked pass defense. Oh, we're not going to do that. We're not going to do that. That's what we're not going to do. What are we going to do tonight? What are we going to do? We're going to stand on business, and we're going to give Dak Prescott his credit. Ocho.

Can we do that? Can we please do that? Ocho, did you listen to what I said? Yes, sir. I said I'm not surprised Dak played well, given he's going against a 32nd-ranked defense. So let me ask you a question. Don't give us no backhanded compliments.

Don't do that. Let's give Dak Prescott his credit where his credit is deserved. He played good football tonight. See, the problem is, Ocho, you want to give everybody compliments. You just want to say, okay, he played well. You got to give context. Context. Analysis is about context.

Right. Provide context to what you're saying. Okay, so context to what he's saying is basically you're saying you knew Dak Prescott would play well because he's playing against the 31st ranked defense? I said it on first take. I said I picked the Cowboys to win. Okay.

Because I didn't think the Chargers were physical enough. Right. They did a better job than I thought. Right. I mean,

they only gave up nine sacks. They gave up 10. And see, this is what I liked about the Cowboys defense tonight. Right. When they absolutely had to have it,

Michael Parsons got home. Showed up. On fourth down, they got, it was fourth down, third down, and they got pressure on it. So that's the mark of a great offense or great defense. Can you get done what you need to get done when you have to get it done?

At the right time. Consider it. Plus, it was a bounce back. Dak needed this because, like you said, they're going into a bye. The last thing you want to do, we got beat 42-10. We went on the road again, and we had another loss, and I didn't play. See, these are the type of games. When you have a bad game, you need a team that you can get a nasty taste out of your mouth.

So I want to play a team that's not very good at something that we can do. So Cincinnati, man, we just got beat. We had a tough loss. We got beat 27-14. But look who on the schedule. Man, this team, their DB we just got beat. We had a tough loss. We got beat 27-14. But look who on the schedule. Man, this team, their DBs not good. They were at the bottom in pass defense. Ocho Cinco thinking to himself, bro, hey, we going into the bye?

I can't go into the bye with a loss. Because every time you go into the bye with a loss, you don't even want to go nowhere. You don't even want to do anything. Because you're like, damn, man. Because normally what happened, we didn't get the entire week off, Ocho. We got time

off based on whether you won or lost. If you won, there's a good chance you go probably get off Wednesday, starting Wednesday, maybe Thursday. If you lost, now you're going to get off Thursday after practice. So now you got Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you got to be back Monday by noon.

So it's not like it is now. You got to get the entire week off. But considering what the Cowboys, how the Cowboys, and again, there are only two or four in the red zone. You got to start getting, you need to be like in the 60%, 70% in the red zone.

Kick and field goals will get you beat against really really good teams especially come playoff time right but give that give that and and and the uh uh the cowboys credit thank you they they did a great job uh uh of overcoming the mistakes it's kind of like two teams were trying to help the other two both teams were trying to help the other team win the game with the penalties that they were committing. You can't win. That's not championship football. You can't beat

yourself. It's hard enough to beat the team that you're going up against, Ocho. And now you're committing. Think about it. 14 penalties, Ocho. And seven of them was pre-snap. So before we did anything, we didn't give us a chance to get a positive play. Right.

We illegal shift. We're jumping off sides. We're false starting. That's bad. What did we talk about last night, Ocho? Undisciplined football. Yeah. You're coaching it or you're condoning it.

Which one did you do it? But listen, obviously you know you're coaching it and you don't condone it, but it's always something that is in the back of your head that you continue to preach over and over and over. And I remember when I was playing, it starts when you're adolescent, even as, as a little kid, what did the coaches tell you? Penalties can kill you. And sometimes you're able to overcome it. And sometimes you're not, it can hurt you on the back end, but why not get it out the way now, get it out the way now, get all the, get all the jeers or whatever it may be that causes you to lose focus in game

to cause those penalties. Get it out the way now so it doesn't hurt you on the back end. Tonight they were over to overcome it though. Yes. Dude, I mean, I've been retired so long. I know they probably don't do this, but when I first got into the league in training camp, if you

jumped off sides, we had to run a lap. Coach Reeves, Dan Reeves, he was my first coach. A lap? A lap. What would that sound like back in the 70s? Coach Landry, Coach Landry was his head coach. He was offensive coordinator under Coach Landry.

So a lot of that, the old school mentality. Right. Man, there'd be some times, Ocho, I'd be had to run three. Man, there be sometimes, Ocho, I be had to run three laps. Man, Ocho, I get tired. I be like, damn, what the snap count on? Right. I don't know. I think it's on one.

And every time, it's on two. When you coach a coach, he's like, got it. That big old bang will stick out his neck. I'm like, hey. Had to run a lap. Run a lap. I had to run three laps. That's the most I had to run.

Three? I'm trying to think. I can't recall me really jumping off sacks. I'm always watching the ball anyway. I'm always watching the ball. I'm locked in. I'm watching the ball too, but see, I'm trying to go on hook. I ain't trying to let him get to the tee.

I'm trying to get advantage. Yeah, tee. I'm trying to get advantage. Yeah, man. I'm trying to get advantage. If somebody, they could have laughed. Somebody could have, ha, I'm gone. Ha, ha. It all sounded the same to me, Ocho. It all sounded the same to me.

I'm gone. I'm up out of there. I ain't lying,'t you I was gone and it's all the same and then you know we had to make like the offense you said if somebody say ha if somebody would allow

ha I'm going ha what happened I heard ha it's a snap count. Hey, the funny thing is I can just picture it. I can picture it. That's what makes it that much more funny. Yeah. You know how to defend if you're playing around with making noise on the other side of the ball to try to get you to jump?

They cut that out. Yeah. Because the DTs, you just say back set. Yeah, yeah. And they sound like, ha, and they snapping the ball. So now you can't do that anymore. Man, you got me crying with that visual. And see, we used to have to like, if we got three,

if three people jumped off, had a false start, or jumped offside, the whole team, the whole office had to run. Had to run? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. Yeah, I didn't have to go through that. But see, y'all wasn't, see, we had, Wade Phillips in 94.

We had eight straight days or two-a-days. Oh, wait a minute. I know about them two-a-days now. No, eight straight in NFL. Oh, eight straight? Eight straight, padded, thud No, eight straight in NFL. Oh, eight straight? Eight straight, padded, thud, 907, both periods. Morning and afternoon. Oh, boy.

Boy, and you know that third day. You real sore. You got that old man. You got the old man. You walking all still. Yeah. Cowboys finished two of four in the red zone before the game. Mm-hmm.

Austin Eckler took a mean right. Yeah. Knocked his helmet clean off. Yeah. Did you ever get into it pregame? One time. One time. I got into a pregame.

Make sure y'all sitting at home. Make sure y'all sitting at home. Make sure y'all sitting down. Get your popcorn ready. Listen, Baltimore Ravens. I never forget. Obviously, that's one of the games I get up for. I get up for. I'm hyped.

Obviously, for those that don't know, if you watch me throughout my career, I would always give the team bulletin board material on Wednesday. Nothing malicious, nothing, nothing crazy. It was just more of a challenge to those that we were playing that week because, you know, this is the week. I like to somewhat set the tone and I did it through the media. Very savvy with it too.

Take some of the pressure off my teammates and some of the other players going to the game. So we out there for warm-ups. We at M&T Bank Stadium. M&T Bank Stadium. I'm out there just, you know, at M and M and it's M and how you say M and T bank stadium, M and T bank stadium. I'm at it just, you know,

doing light jogging, earphones on. And I see Orlando Brown. I see big Zeus out there warming up. And you know me, you know me and my playful nature, you know, the relationship that I had with Ed Reed and Ray Lewis and those dudes.

So I'm thinking, well, since I get along with them very well and they know me personally, well, I can go out there and play around with Orlando Brown. Man, look here, man. So Orlando Brown, how big was Orlando Brown? Boss man, what, 6'8"?

He's still big. Yeah, he's like 6'7". He at least 6'7", 6'8". 6'7", 6'8", about 300-something pounds, man. And I decided to go jump on his back. Like 300-something pounds, man. I decided to go jump on his back. Literally, he's walking. I decided to go jump on his back. You know how somebody give you a piggyback?

I jumped on his back. He would have thought it was funny. I jumped down. He turned around. He said, man, I don't know what the F you think this is. Man, I don't play them type of games. Man, it started chasing after me. And I thought it was playing.

And you know how you take the doodle of funny trot. Like, man, stop playing. Like in the movie Friday. Yeah. When she's chasing around the car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I swear for God. Man, he had to look in his eyes.

Man, if he was able to catch me, man, buddy was going to kill me, man. Oh, he did something bad to you, huh? Hey, man, he was going to do something bad to me. So I got nervous. I ran to the locker room, and when it got Big Willie, I said, Big Willie, man, you need to come holler at your people, man. I was just playing around, and it looked like he was trying to do something bad to me, and the game ain't even started.

It's just pregame. So Big Willie went out there and talked to him and said, listen, Ocho, listen, you can't be playing with Big Zeus like that, man. Big Zeus don't play like that, man. I'm like, but Willie, that's me. You know how I am. You know I'm the fun guy. But that ain't him.

No, that ain't him. And Big Willie had to give me a better understanding. Everybody don't move like that. But, man, Buddy was going to beat my ass. And after that, I never, ever, ever bothered the beat my ass and that after that i never ever ever bothered the offensive lineman ever again after that there's an old saying ocho what is joke to you is death to someone else you better be careful how you play you see a lot of people they prank him they want to prank everybody want their 15. They pranking. And now you see people getting slapped.

You see a dude got shot in the mall. The dude told you to get out of the thing. Yeah, leave me alone. Bruh, everybody ain't about your game. You want to go prank, go prank some of your friends. Go prank your family. Don't be pranking those strangers because they don't get down. Joke to you, death to somebody else.

And it might end up being death to you. So, bro, people need to start with all them jokes. But for me, I was about to fight. I'm not fighting because I'm not going to mess up my... No, no. I'm about to get into a fight. 60 minutes. That's what the game is. It's a fight. And so I wasn't about

to mess up. I'm not about to mess up my hands, my fingers, because I can't hurt the guy who got his helmet on. I see guys take their helmet off and run hurt the guy who got his helmet on. Right. I see guys take their helmet off and run to the fight. You a damn fool. You better keep that helmet on or somebody gonna Wait. Hold on. Hold on. But listen, as much

trash as you talk during your day, you've never had a fight training camp before a game? No, no, no, no. I got in a fight, like I said, I got in a fight in college. You know how you in college? You what you know what i noticed and it took me a while yeah is that when somebody getting ragged and getting joned they don't get mad at the person that's joning them they get mad at the person that's laughing laughing they tried to punk you

yeah i'm laughing because the way we the, because we ain't with the general, we ain't with the general population at Savannah State, but we sat in the back. So when you walk in the cafeteria, the back behind, like where I'm at right here is where the athletes sit,

the football team, the basketball player. And so, you know, we lined up. If you come in late, all the upperclassmen, everybody in there, they gonna join you,

especially if you got some bull jive on. So Ocho, you know, they got it. And, everybody in there, they're going to join you, especially if you got some bull jive on. So Ocho, you know, they got in, he came in there, and they started joining. And you know me, Ocho, I laugh loud, I laugh hard. Ah, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, they're killing you. Ah, you got some bull, and you know, I'm just egging them on to keep it going.

And dude, this is about what you laughing at. I said, bro, I said, dude, what's up? Hey, when they ragged on me, I ain't had no problem. Y'all told me the whole time. Because when I showed up, I had my luggage with two grocery bags. I had two brown paper bags with everything Mary Porter sent me from Glenville with. They ragged me. No, they joining.

Talk about old Sharp got some of my clothes on. Some of his, some of his partners, some of his cousins. They were just joining. I take it. Because I know I, some of his cousins. They was just jodding. I take it. Because I know I'm going to get mine because I know I got these jokes. I got a thousand jokes, Ocho. I ain't told but two yet. So I got 998 still left.

So I'm just laughing. Dude come up there. So I had like a sandwich. I had some, the dude took, and I had mayonnaise in a bowl. The dude took the mayonnaise, took a spoon, and threw the mayonnaise on me. So, Ocho, so I'm laughing. The upperclassman ragging on him. And so, you know, I'm a wide receiver.

He a D-line man. So he automatically think he got an easy win. Yeah, mismatch. So the dude, he scooped the mayonnaise up out my bowl and threw it on me. Oh, no. Ocho, he did this. He scooped the mayonnaise up out of my bowl and threw it on me. Oh, no. Oh, Joe. He did this. Put a patch over his eye.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, replay that for me. Rewind. Replay it again. He took the spoon off my tray, scooped the mayonnaise out, and threw it on me. Okay. So by the time he did this, I didn't even give him a chance to bring the spoon back and put it down.

He did this. On the counter. Boy, that sound like an AK. Boy, how many punches you threw? You thought out of floor and made, well, this would blow floor. Floor probably would like, floor probably would like five years old when I hit it with these blows. Hey.

You let him. I say close for the weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, man. I say to be back in service in like two days. You dead serious, huh? Oh, yeah, for real. Bro,

anybody that's ever met me can tell you. I didn't bother nobody right right i didn't let i didn't let i didn't let people bully like if somebody was like you know was slow i ain't let people pick on them because i hate a mofo that pray on the week right right right but bruh you nothing hey you not you nothing you nothing to pump me yeah but we gonna fight we gonna fight every day till i get a victory. Okay, that's exactly what I was getting ready to ask you. That's that motto. That's that old mentality back in the day.

You go home, you lose the fight. Your mama asks you to lose the fight. Well, if you lost, now you take your head back around here and you keep on fighting until you win and don't come back until you do. I was just gonna ask you what you had to do if you gotta deal with him and see him every day and he wanna keep on fighting. Oh, what? I don't have to leave because we're going to fight every day.

Yeah, I like that. I like that. My grandfather told my brother now, he said, boy, I don't send y'all to school to fight. Right. But one of the other better not come home and say you lost one. Hmm.

I like that. Hey, and I told him, I said, look here, Mary Porter, I ain't take, I'd say Mary Porter didn't send me to Savannah State to take no ass cuts. Not one. I didn't go for, I said, look here, Mary Porter, I ain't take, I'd say Mary Porter didn't send me to Savannah State to take no ass cuttings. Not one. I didn't go for, I didn't bother nobody, but I didn't let nobody bother me. I remember, you know how, France, fraternities, when guys are pledging,

you know, they come beg for money so they can get the big brother some food. Right. And so I had already told him, I said, man, look here, man, I'm down here studying. Don't come back down here knocking on these doors because I'm studying. Sure enough, dude pledging a sigma.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It wasn't even my door because they already knew nothing else with me. It was my neighbor's door. Hey, can you pay 50 cents? Can you spare a dollar? A big brother such and such needs something. Hey, man. Hey. Hey, can you, can you, can you spare 50 cents? Can you, can you spare a dollar? A big brother such and such needs something. I got my homeboy, Mike Wallace, who's my roommate.

Mike Wallace. And I got my other homeboy. His homeboy from Effingham, his name was Steve Gerto, called him Skeebo. I said, Skeebo, put your shoes on. Y'all come go with me. I went down there to Bostic Hall. We stayed in Peacock. They stayed in Bostic. with me i went down there to i went down there to bostick hall that was we stayed the athletes we stayed in peacock they stayed in bostick right i went down there i said look here

bro i say i had already told them i didn't want to come down here but i told them not to come back down there asking for no money ain't nobody got no money and i'm down there studying and y'all bamming y'all knocking on these doors y'all sending these down there knocking and y'all banging, y'all knocking on these doors, y'all sending these down there, knocking on them doors. And I ain't, and hey, I don't like that. I said, I tell you what, if they come back down there on that second floor, I say either everybody in here gonna have to whip me

or I'm gonna whip y'all. And I say, I'm gonna tell you like this here. Mary Porter did not send me to Savannah State to take no ass cuts. I said, now don't, I said, now y'all try it. I said, try it. I said, play hoo-ha and get screwed. You got to finish the story.

What happened when y'all went down there to go fight? I went down there to the room, to the big brother's room. And I basically told him, I said, bro, if they come back down there on that second floor, as a matter of fact, if they come back down on the first floor, and I ain't even staying on the first floor, do not send them back down to Peacock asking for money,

or y'all gonna have to whip me. And ain't now one of y'all in here, ain't now two of y'all in here, three of y'all in here could whip Shannon Sharp. Whoa, but you know you gotta take on the Sigmas now. If you take on the Sigmas, you can't beat a whole fraternity now. I don't know how it was at any other school right but with nobody trying to see our football team okay no i saved a lot of i'll save a lot of uh basketball players a lot of

everybody right they didn't want to see us like that right okay they didn't want to see us like that okay no the only the only. I was the peacekeeper. Right. When things popped off, like guys came from the city. Because look, I was the guy that everybody knew. Right. I was out and about in the city. You know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying? You're that boy, huh? So I'm at the car. You know, I got a 300Z. My brother bought me a Mercedes. So I'm out in the city at the car wash on the west side. You had a 300 in college? Yeah. You had money.

You had an NIL deal? No, I had a brother in the NFL deal. I had a brother that had an NFL deal. That was better than the NIL deal. Right, right, right. So that was my thing. So everything, Ocho, I was the guy. That when guys went out on Friday, Saturday night, they brought me their jewelry.

They bought me their money because they know I was going to be in. I'm looking at GQ. I'm looking at that. I'm just thinking about what I'm going to do. Come Sunday. Hey, Sharp, did I drop my jewelry off? Yeah, there it is up there. Hey, man, did I leave money here?

You know, it's, it's, I'm, listen, I'm, I don't want to say I'm not ashamed to say it, but I did, did get in. I went to Langston University, Oklahoma. No, that, that's, that's what, that's where everything started out for me. Langston University, Oklahoma, Dr. Ernest Holloway was the president. I never forget Dr. Ernest Holloway,

the head coach at Langston University at the time was Coach Johnson I can't remember Coach Johnson's first name I remember the quarterback's name was Waylon Jones backup quarterback name was K Money I never forget first time being in Oklahoma those are the people that I can remember off the top of my head

I get some type of financial aid and I know I lock it I know i put it in my room i know i put it in my dresser there's only nobody has access to my room except one person and that's my roommate at the time oh man i never forget listen it wasn't none that it wasn't a lot of money so it might not have been financial it might have been but it was yours it was mine that's the principle it might have been 120 i'm i ain't gonna sit here and so it might not have been financial aid. It might have been... But it was yours. Yeah, it was mine. That's the principle. It might have been $120. I ain't going to sit here and lie. It might have been

$120, but you know $120 when you're in college and you ain't really got no money. What? That was $1,000. Man, that's a lot of money, man. It is. Listen, I came in the room, man. I never forget. I had pancakes. I had pancakes from the cafeteria and I had the orange juice. I came in the room

and started eating. I opened the drawer. My money was gone. So you asked where your money? So the one person I know, nobody has access to these rooms. Nobody has access to these rooms. So I called my homeboy. I'd never forget. I have no idea if he's still living. Big Steve, if you see this, Big Steve was from the Bay Area. Okay. Big Steve was from the Bay Area. Big Steve, if you see this, baby, I love you. I appreciate you to this day. Me and Big Steve got into it. I said, Steve, man, my money not here, man. My money's missing.

What's up? Man, I ain't got nothing to do with that, man. You know, Big Steve, being from the Bay Area where he from, you wasn't really going to question him, you know, based on principle, by them not having him. But listen, bruh, nobody else had access to this room. So you had to be, so boom, you already know what time of day. We go at it. We going at it. You know, Big Steve played, I think he might have played D-line or O-line,

maybe linebacker, linebacker. So we going at it in the room. I get in trouble because I had a ring. I had a ring I was wearing on my finger at the time that I think I had from from my grandfather. And it gave cut a gash in Big Steve and Big Steve face. Oh, yeah. So Dr. Ernest Holloway, I go down to the office, man. And I never forget, man. He they expelled me out of school. They yeah, they expelled me out of school. What?

Yeah, they expelled me out of LA. I never forget. Dr. Ernest Holloway, rest in peace. They expelled me out of school from Langston University. I went back home to my grandma. My grandma said, baby, listen, I've done all I can. I've done all I can with you. I washed my hands.

Oh, man, that broke your heart. I washed my hands. And that's how I ended up in LA where my mama was at Santa Monica College with Steve Smith, now senior, back in 1997 because I got thrown out of Lancet for fighting. And they never gave me a second chance. You believe you got your money to this day, don't you? I think you do. So, Big Steve, if you see this, baby, it's been a long time.

And a lot of these women, this is now remind you, everybody knows that I was at Fox. I was at Undisputed for seven years. And for the most part, I had the same lady, ladies every day, at least three days a week. It was one. And then two days a week, it was another one but for

the most part i only had two or three women to work on me for the entirety since i got to espn they're on a rotation so i might get one a different one so but for the most part it's been it's been different people working on me on mondays and ts. Final problem. Today, this was a totally different lady and she added some makeup that I don't normally wear. And I'm a dark-skinned fella.

Okay, to make a long story short, I'm black. It ain't no dark skin, I'm black. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I leave fingerprints on charcoal. You get what I'm saying. You get what I'm saying, Ocho., yeah, yeah. I leave fingerprints on charcoal. But you get what I'm saying. You get what I'm saying, Ocho. Yeah, I'm with you. And so she put on a little heavy.

And my producer. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She put on a little heavy? Little heavy, little heavy, little heavy, little heavy. Give me that. OK. But you know when they say your boy be casket clean? I mean, literally.

Right. She had your boy like he was in the casket but it's okay it's okay it's okay you know what I'm saying when they say casket clean she took it to a little interpretation but that's okay Ojo that's quite alright

and so my producer is you know I look I always look my producers there my creative guy that gets footage behind and my producer and she's looking at me she's like like I need to talk to you

what you want to talk about you know what you want to talk about so during the break I motion to her to come on and so she come and she got a phone up. I was like, she's like, you're trending. I was like, what'd I say? I didn't curse.

I didn't use no. Right, right, right. Your makeup. Yeah. I said, I said, Ash, remember when we was in the dressing room? I said, Ash, this makeup too thick. Yeah. She was, I mean, she's so locked in for what she's got to do

because she's got to make sure that I'm on point. All my stats, everything is on point. So she really didn't, she really didn't even look up. Right. And I was trending.

And so. Yeah, yes, you were. Yes, you were. And so what I did is, look,

I appreciate everybody. I appreciate everybody concerned about the makeup. It was the latest, first time doing me. But at the end of the day, okay, the makeup was a little heavy. But what about them takes? Were them takes still fresh?

Were them takes still on point? Listen, them takes was on point. You got jokes, though. Them takes was on point. Everything you said was up to par, but them jokes is going flat. Them jokes was going flat. Yeah, man. Listen, I saw the jokes about you jokes was going flat. Yeah, man. Listen, I saw the jokes about you looking like Madea,

Juana, man. Yeah. They had me looking like Randy Jackson. Randy. They had me like Chappelle. Boy, they had, they all know. I said, boy, they killing me today. Hey, wait a minute.

This is what you did. Did you see the one, did you see the one with the, remember in church when you was a little kid? Yeah. And the fans at church, they had your fan. Yeah, baby. Like a home run celebration. Boy, hey, listen.

They was on your boy hard. I was on the floor dying. This is another thing. This is one of the things. This is what, you know, I do makeup. I do makeup. It's a side job for me in a way that I save money when it comes to the women that I've dated throughout my life, throughout my career in general. So my missus, I do her makeup. My kids, when they have to go somewhere, I do their makeup.

When it comes to doing makeup, the better makeup artist, you have to be you have to understand the texture in the people skin tone that you're doing. You have to be able to blend and do things really well. I call it having that hand and the touch of God. If you don't have that, you should be sticking to what you know. When I saw it, I said the first thing, like, nah, somebody looked too heavy over there.

Somebody had a hand that was working on something. Jermaine Jackson, would he be having a Jackson anniversary? The reunion? Man, listen, I tell you, boy, you look had your boy like Jermaine Jackson. You know Jermaine Jackson, would he be having them Jackson anniversaries? The reunions? Man, listen. I tell you, boy, you look like Prince Hakeem from Goddamn Coming to America. It's like she took a butter knife and spread that thing

on your boy's face. That thing was big. I was like, damn, she got frosting on your boy? You're born with that kind of man today. You're born with that kind of man today you born without that kind of bad today I ain't gonna even lie but for your part the takes you had was good

the takes was where it needed to be but them jokes was gonna fly and they was flying today and you know I'm a meme they mean me anything I can barely do anything and once she showed me that all I did I just dropped my head like man I'm about to be like another 50 memes. It's cool, but you look just like the deacon, though.

Just like the deacon. Deacon in the church. But look, you a team player. Look, I know here's the thing about social media. Social media would like for you to think that everybody's perfect. They like you to think that their life is perfect. They've made, oh, she should be fired. That was her first time.

She'll be her last time. Just think. Just think if you went on a job and the first mistake you made, they fired you. It wasn't that egregious. It was the makeup. And at the end of the day. The honest mistake is that. Yes.

You've got to understand the skin tone and the texture in what you do. And maybe she just doesn't have that type of experience with the exotic complexion that you have. And with the lighting, me being darker skin, with the makeup

on, man, she had my lips like I've been pulling on a tailpipe. You say, man, I like, I looked at her, I like, damn, hold on. I don't smoke them miles like that no more.

I say, you know, I done got my lips bleached and everything because I know I'm going to be on TV, Ocho. I say, man, she got my lips like I've been smoking on a tailpipe. And I blow the exhaust all over. I'm like, come on, man. But I knew they were going to get me with y'all.

I said, I know they're going to get me. I said, they're going to kill me. They're going to get me. They're going to get me. This is why. See, this is the perfect example of why I told you. You got your foot in the dough. You got your foot in the dough.

Get your boy on the show with you. Because this is what friends is for. If it was me, I wouldn't even let the show start with that shit on your face. I wouldn't let the show... Hey, listen. Stephen A know he saw that shit. He know he saw that shit and they should

have deleted the show a little bit, gave you a goddamn baby wipe, let you wipe that off and just tell them put some anti-shine on you and a little bit of powder, and then start the show. If it was me, I wouldn't have let that shit go down. But you don't want to help

a brother out and put me on the show. Ocho, let your boy get in. Let me get in, Ocho. You done been on eight goddamn shows. You done been on eight shows, man. I'm counting. I'm counting. Ocho. I'm counting. I'm counting how many shows. I can tell you we just talked about every show. Ocho.

The thing is, see, I done got in good. They let your boy host a couple of shows. Let your boy get a couple of let your boy get a couple of hosting gigs. And then the guy that's coming to the stage is my partner on night count. Right. Mr. Chan. Ocho. Cinco. Johnson. You know. So you done let your boy get it. Hey, Mr. Chan, Ocho, Cinco, Johnson.

You know, so you don't let your boy get it. Hey, listen. Let me get it. Right now, all I got is a foot in the door. Right.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Right now, I'm trying to turn sideways because they're trying to close the door. People that got a foot in the door, they don't get to host nothing. People that got a foot in the door,

they don't host. When you got two feet in the door and you done closed the door behind you, that's when they get the opportunity. See what happened? Steve and they had the flu and they asked me, could I fill in for it?

Well, listen, I can text Steve and they and tell him to be sick again. I could tell him to be sick again. All I need is the opportunity. Sometimes that's a people. I don't want Steve. I don't want Steve and they

to be sick again, but I appreciate the opportunity because I'm sure he said Shannon could do a good job. I'm glad that the higher ups, Jimmy Pataro, Burke Magnus, Dave Roberts, I'm glad that they gave they believed in me that I could do the job. So a lot of people have to have faith in you to be able to get this opportunity. And so it was my job to go out there and it's like, okay, y'all believe in me. Y'all give me this opportunity. Let me show you. Now they give me a couple of more opportunities. Then I would say, you know, I need, you know, I need an Ocho here. One of the old segments.

I know Jimmy, Jimmy and Dave and Bartholomew or whatever. I don't even know their names, but I know they're going to see this. I know they're going to see this. And all I need is the opportunity. Because anytime I've got an opportunity, I've taken it and I've run with it. Because I can do it too. All I need, just put me in front of the camera. That's all I'm asking. But the last time you ran that fast, you had some baked beans and nylators in your pocket,

you're looking like Tyrese up there crying. I thought that was Tyrese crying. I just, it means a lot to me. It means a lot to me. 50,000 people is a lot of people. I don't think you understand.

Like, you know where I come from, so you don't know what this means to me, man. You gave me opportunity and opportunity, and then we got 50,000 a week. This man just told me

a month ago he ain't got no tear ducts. He ain't got no tear ducts. That's what you just told me. Now, if it's a lie, you told it. Hey, everybody that's on live, how many people we got on live, Ash? We got 13,000 people on. I want y'all to jump in the comments and tell me, did I miss here or did I miss Quo Ocho when he said he ain't got no tear duct?

Hey, this is a moment for me. We need to – He's up here crying like Sherelle broke up with him. Yeah. I think that's an underline. I think she done told you unless you sign that prenup, she going to dip. And you trying to mask it. I'm just feeling good.

You don't understand what Jesus told me. We've been on the show for a week. Listen to me now. Listen to me now. Stay with me. Stay with me. No, we've been on the show for a while, but we just had the channel. We just started the channel. I'm just saying. But the fact that we had the channel for a week and we got 50,000 people now. 50,000. 50,000 in a week. So that means it's 8 billion people in the world.

So if my math stands corrected, if it's 8 billion people in the world and we got 50,000 within a week. That means in 792 weeks, we'll have half the world subscribe to our channel. Our goal is to try to, we're trying to get to 100,000 in the next week. And then we do

a quarter of a million, half a million, and a million. We can get to a million in a year. We're doing it, Ocho. We're doing it. We're going to get to a million before that because these tears are tears of happiness and joy. I can't believe this. Damn.

I feel good. Yeah, you're going to be a meme. Hey, y'all meme, Ocho. Y'all meme Ocho But there's nothing to meme me about This was a good moment This was a good moment for me Okay

This is to show you How happy and appreciative I am And how much this show means to me This is how much it means to me So people laughing at that They shouldn't laugh at that There's nothing to laugh about And then I

No today my girl birthday too So on laughing at that, they shouldn't laugh at that. There's nothing to laugh about. And then I... No, today my girl birthday too, so on top of that... That's what you get, Ocho. What you get. We got a... Hey, Ocho, you cried in five minutes, got us another thousand followers. For real? Yeah. Yeah, listen, I'm... You got no more tears in there?

You get some of the fried everything.

Right. But there's a delicacy down in the South. Right. And people, when I told my teammates about it, they didn't believe it. But I had a coach that was from down south and he's like, yeah, it's a delicacy. We're going to bleep this out, but I'm going to say what it is. We're going to bleep this out.

Go ahead and say it. F***ing onions. Nigga, what? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's a down south. Yeah, they believe that. I understand that might be the word, but for better context, what is it really,

what are they really eating? It's the unit that a male cow, the bull. Right. When he's deceased, they cut it out. Right. They stew it down in onion and they eat it. Mmm. Like Rocky Mountain, like Mount Norster, like cow testicles, hog testicles.

I've had turkey testicles. So chitlins, basically. When I was a kid, chitlins, hog maw, hog head, pig ear, pig tail. Pig feet? Pig feet, yeah. I love pig feet. I love pig feet. I love pig tails. That's –

Yeah. That, you know, hog head cheese, you know, the pig tail. You know, you put pig tails in green. You put turkey necks in green. Yeah, yeah. You know, on the chicken, you eat every part on the chicken except the first and last part to get over the fence. You eat everything but the beak and the butt.

The first part to cross the fence and the last part to get over the fence you need everything but the beak and the butt the first part that crawls the fence in the last part you leave that but but i didn't know until i got to college that you could buy individual chicken parts yeah because my grandmother always bought the entire chicken because it was cheaper and cut it up so i didn't know you could get all drumsticks you could get all short thighs you get all wings you can get all breasts i remember going to grow i'm like you could i'm like no i wasn't in the grocery i mean i didn't buy anything in college i'm probably in the nfl right when i was out on my own and i'm in the grocery store and i'm looking i'm like you mean to tell me you can get like all drumsticks you can get all i i never i never knew that yeah that's that's yeah, but I don't ate some. I'll tell you this.

This is what I tell people. I ate a lot of things when I was growing up to let me know what I didn't want to eat as an adult. I like that. That's a good one. It's kind of like a job. I had a lot of jobs. I caught chickens, cropped tobacco, clipped onions, loaded tomatoes, baled hay, loaded watermelons, pulled peanuts, pulled sweet potatoes. I dug sweet potatoes.

I did all of that. I just knew I didn't want to do none of those jobs as an adult. Because they were back-breaking as a kid. Now think about it. Now you got to understand, I've been working in the field since I was about six years old. Oh yeah.

He was in the field? Yes. God damn, Django. Come on, Django. Ocho. Ocho. People, look here. We worked in the fields from cane to cane.

And you mean cane to cane, that means when you went to work, you can't see, and when you get off, you can't see. We worked 10, 12 hours a day, come home, take a shower, go catch chickens. So we caught chickens from 9 till about 1 in the morning. We got a dollar a thousand. So it was about me and about

six of my cousins. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You got a dollar a thousand chickens? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That's what you got. You got a dollar a thousand. That ain't gonna work. The most we would catch, we would like the C team. So my uncle ran the C team.

So we'd only catch the most chickens we would catch was 16,000. But they had the A and the B team. They would catch 40, 50,000 in a night. What? Yeah. Where the hell all them chickens come from? In the chicken house. Okay.

So you go in, you go in, and once it get dark, so my uncle would pick us up at about 9, 30, 10 o'clock. We normally have to go at least, sometimes as close as 30 minutes, but sometimes it's about an hour away. You go in, you open the back of the, and you put a flashlight up, because you got to realize chickens, they huddle together. Right. So you put the flashlight

up and you go in three in one hand three in the other so we go in that thing we be hype yeah me it was me my brother my cousin uh uh lanny uh arnell eugene had another cousin like robbie and some other some other so it's about probably about eight to nine of them. Because we had like four, we had four or five catchers. We had two stackers and a taker. So you go at that thing, we come at that thing, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird, bird.

Everybody hollering bird. We get them things done in about three hours. We up out of there. Made $16. Just like that. And I had made $5 earlier today working in the field. So that's $21. Made me a good little grip. And I did it

when I was in school from the fourth to the eighth grade. I called Chigga that night and went to school as a 8, 9, 10, 11, 12-year-old. Run tell that. So when people talk about, when people talk, oh, Sheldon, you don't know what it's like

to work hard. All you have is a silver spoon, bro. You don't know nothing. Man, listen. I tell my kids all the time, the life that you are able to live, you don't know what I had to go through where I come from.

I walk, I walk uphill to school both ways. I walk uphill to school both ways. I walk uphill to school both ways so you could do what you're doing right now. So you could pick up the phone and call me and know I'm going to tell you yeah every time. You don't know what I had to do. Ocho, but I really did have to walk a mile to catch the school bus. Wait, I had to catch the bus too. Listen, I caught the bus to Beach High.

I caught the 7 on 10th Avenue. I got off, caught the L all the way to school and had to walk. I had to do that. I ain't had no car. No, but see the school bus, but I was the only one.

The school bus didn't come. When my brother and my sister, all of them was on there and we had other people, the school bus would come by the house. Right. But at that point in time, I was the only one, the school bus didn't come by the house.

Okay. So I had to walk to the end of the road. So if it was, you know, if it's raining, it didn't matter. Right. But I just,

I just remember thinking to myself, I was like, I know damn well, ain't no other kid my age working as hard as I... They might be some third world country. Sure, because I see these kids working out. I'm like, ain't no way. A kid working

10, 12 hours in the fields and going to catch chickens at a dollar a thousand? I ain't working the field. You remember, you ever heard of the jitney? I used to use the jitney to get to and from where I got to go. You ever heard of the jitney? Now, the jitney service is legendary in Miami. I'm sure some people in the chat from You remember, you ever heard of the jitney? I used to use the jitney to get to and from where I got to go. You ever heard of the jitney? Now, the jitney service is legendary in Miami. I'm sure some people in the chat from the crib, they know

what I'm talking about. But listen, the way I used to make my money was with my grandma. Obviously, my chores, you had to do your chores. Cutting the grass. Mopping. And cleaning the garage. Just pulling the weeds. That's how I made money.

Yeah, that's... Because I would wash... Because, see, I would wash the dishes. What about washing the cars? For my sister. Oh, yeah. My grandfather would say I was too little because he gave me a quarter to wash the tires.

So I got a dollar for washing the tires. He let my brother wash it. Man. So, old joke. Check this out. My grandfather would say, okay, boys, I'm going to pay y'all to go wash the car, check this out. My grandfather said, okay, boys, I'm going to pay y'all

to go wash the car, wash his truck. So me and my brother go out there, we get some things, you know, I'm doing the tires, my brother washing it.

We go in the house, papa, we done. He come outside and look at it. True story, ask my brother. He looked at me and my brother,

he said, you know what? He said, anything is better than nothing. But you two fellas real close to nothing. My brother looked at me. I looked at him. I said, nothing, huh?

So that's where I get that saying from. He told us anything is better than nothing. But you two fellas real close to nothing. Y'all didn't watch it. Did y'all watch it? We did the best we could. You got to understand, I'm six, my brother nine.

What the hell you thought he was going to get? You thought he was going to the car wash down the street? What did you expect? What kind of car detail did you thought you was going to get for $2? You paid $2, you got a $2 car watch. What the hell?

And we had one of them little swipper boots, you know, the little brooms about this big? The switch room. So we had no vacuum cleaner. With a small handle on it. That's what we had to sweep out the truck with. I remember those. That's great. That's some good memories. I'll tell you what, I bet

y'all would've won Fear Factor. I'd have won on Fear Factor. I'd have won that. Yeah. That's great. That's some good memories. I'll tell you what. I bet you I'd have won Fear Factor. I'd have won on Fear Factor. I'd have won that. Yeah. I'd have won that. Or Survival. Yeah, but see, no, no, no. See, Survival, see, that's not about allegiance.

That's about getting people to like you and not vote your ass off. See, I'll starve your ass off the island because I'll hunt and fish for my damn self. And so you will leave because you starving. See, in a situation like that, I ain't trying to be your friend. I ain't trying to be your teammate. Now, if we really trying to survive, okay, yes. But if I'm trying to win a contest? Right.

No. I could do a fair fact as well based off what I'm willing to eat and I'll do anything once. You too bougie. Who? You. Come on, man. It's me. And I'll do anything once. You too bougie. Who? You. Come on, man. It's me.

It's me, man. Don't do me like that. I'm the one flat spirit. I'm the one eating McDonald's. Don't do that. Hey, but sis, I cut up for sis today, though. I know you did. I saw this video, Spirit Airlines.

I might start flying, Spirit.. I might start flying Spirit. You might as well. Check this out. President Trump, President Trump plane. Yeah. And the air traffic controller was in the Spirit guy's ear. And he's like, hold on, we got a VIP. Right.

A VIP plane. And the guy on the pilot for Spirit like, what? He's like, so he goes on the runway anyway. Right. He's like, flight 957, where are you going? He said, Orlando. And he took off. And he took off.

Man, I was like, you know what? I'm going to have the joy over your old spirit. Listen, you got to come on. We are an over-ass spirit. We are our own entity. And we don't bow down to anybody. We don't bow down to nobody. It costs you $50 to fly.

And if you fly the plane, they'll give you $25 of it back. That's fine. Oh, no. That's fine. That's fine. We are a cost-efficient airline. One that allows those to get from point A to point B just as fast, but for cheap. What about that Spirit flight that the pilots didn't show up for seven hours

and they were sitting waiting on the pilots to come for seven hours? Well, I've seen that happen with American Delta, and I've seen that happen with... I ain't seen that. I ain't seen that. It ain't never happened on no Delta flight. I got 1.5 million miles on Delta. There was a strike just not long ago where the pilots wasn't showing up at all.

Well, that's a strike. Okay. But those pilots were supposed to be there. Spirit don't have... We don't have no issues. We don't have no problems. We are the definition of love in the sky. I can't tell. I know you saw that kangaroo that had that man's dog trying to drown that man's dog.

Listen, I done seen so many funny... Would you fight a kangaroo? Just be honest. Would a thing many funny, you think, would you fight a kangaroo? Just be honest. What if they ain't be swole, man? You'll fight a kangaroo? About my dog? Well, about you. Think about what you just,

think about what you just, think about what you just asked me. Now ask me that again. You'll fight your dog. You right. You got that right. About your dog, you'll fight a kangaroo.

Have you seen a kangaroo? No, I ain't gonna fight, but I'll fight, I'll fight a dog. I'll fight anything about my dog. Right. Kangaroo, snake, bear. Yeah, for sure.

For sure. Slow down. Slow down. You just said bear. Don't do that. Don't do that. I'm going to shoot the bear. Okay.

You said, we talk about fighting. No weapons involved. But here's the thing. If I'm out in the wilderness, you probably going to have, now, I mean, I mean, this guy here,

I mean, he in the out, I mean, the outback, wherever kangaroos are, I think he's in Australia. Yeah. He's a,

he's a, I guess he teaches jujitsu. So he's skilled. But I saw, I saw one video where the kangaroo had the man dog in the headlock. In the headlock. And that man slapped him. And he swung on him? Yeah.

And you see that kangaroo, that kangaroo like let the dog go like, hold on. Did this motherfucker just slap me? He like, he did. He slapped me for real. There's some very funny kangaroo videos where they going at it with people. It was one, a kangaroo and some dude. It was around some bushes. I think it might have been his father.

Man, they in there throwing punches. And I was literally in tears. It's so funny. But reading up, a lot of times kangaroos will retreat to the water because when they're being chased by dingoes, they'll be being chased by a pack of dogs. So they go in the water to try to get away. And if a single, yes, they will drown the dog.

He was trying to drown the dog because the dog had followed him into the water because he was trying to get away. And so now he's like, I got the advantage on you. And he's like, man, that joke came up out of that water. He said, let him go, mate. The kangaroo said, I ain't going to do it, bro. He said, he came and the bloke came to me. The kangaroo said, hey, what I'm about to do

to you, I don't want no footage of it. He knocked the kangaroo, knocked his phone in the water. Oh, yeah. But most pet owners, most pet owners, yeah, they would have done the same thing. Listen, that's instinctive. That's like having a child. Yes. When they have the dog,

or even cats, people that are cat lovers or dog lovers, they have instinct dog. Even cats. People that are cat lovers, they're dog lovers. They have any time danger presents itself. You don't even think twice. You don't even think about it. You don't even think twice. It don't matter what the situation is. Because I saw the lady go shove

the bear. Remember the bear was on the fence? And her dog ran out there. Hello Yorkies. Hello Yorkies. Yes. Oh man, listen. She shoved that ass out that bear. Nothing matters. And people are like, are you crazy? Nothing matters depending on circumstance. Nope.

Nothing, especially when it comes to dogs. And your kids. Dogs and your kids? Yeah. Shit. Adrenaline. Adrenaline is a powerful thing. Oh, yeah.

And so when you get that surge, that's why you see people, you hear these stories of women lifting up a car or men being able to have superhuman strength because you get that rush of adrenaline, that fight or flight.
