Get it while the getting's good.
Oh, yeah.
As we said before, Ocho, thank these ladies and gentlemen for joining us.
The Bears defeat the Panthers.
Good thing the Bears did that because they possessed the Panthers' number one pick.
So there's a good chance they might get the first and the second
or the first and the third pick this year's draft.
Bears defeat the Panthers 16-13.
Tyler Bajet, 20 of 33, 162.
Bryce Young, 21 of 38, 185.
Wasn't a whole lot going on in this game, Mocho,
but what was one of your takeaways from it?
I mean, it really wasn't much to take away.
I'm not going to lie to you.
You know, I respect everybody that was on the field tonight,
but it was a boring game.
It wasn't a good game at all.
Both sides of the ball, there was a lot of pun.
If anything, it was a kicker's game.
That's what I like to call it.
It was a kicker's game.
You had a special teams touchdown by the Panthers.
Other than that, it was a slow game on both sides of the ball.
Komet had a very, very good game.
He's become a security blanket for Tyler.
How do you say his name the right way?
I don't want to.
Beijing.
Beijing.
He becomes Beijing.
He becomes a security man for Beijing.
He did well.
I would like to see DJ Moore get a little
bit more involved and make
that offense a little bit more
prudent
and efficient.
He did what he could to do the catches.
Some of the plays that did go to him,
he made the most of those.
Other than that, this was a bad one, man.
This was a bad one.
I'm not sure who slays these Thursday night games
or what they saw beforehand as opposed to why they did it.
No disrespect to the Bears or the Panthers, but this was bad.
It was a snooze fest, and that's no disrespect.
I mean that in the most respectful way.
You know, the problem is, Ocho, is that you got two teams,
one playing with a Division II quarterback,
and the other is a rookie,
and there's not a whole lot of talent on the offensive side
of the footballs on either side.
And then you get them on a short week.
So what did you expect to happen?
You're not getting Kansas City and Cincinnati.
You're not getting two of the more high-flying offenses.
You're getting – basically, you're getting two rookie quarterbacks.
One, although he was the number one overall draft pick,
the other is a Division II quarterback.
I don't know if we could really expect a lot more.
I think the,
the Carolina is going to have to get a lot better and real soon because
Bryce young is only five,
10,
190 pounds.
He can't take that kind of pound.
He can't keep picking himself off the ground.
Oh,
Joe,
they've got to get him some talent.
They got to get him some playmakers.
He's not the same Adam Thielen he was
five years ago in Minnesota.
We understand that.
They're going to probably have to go out to the
free agent market because, remember, they
gave up so much in order to draft
Bryce Young. So now
it's hard for you to develop because
you're going to be picking third, fourth round.
That's not to say you can't go find
a wide receiver in the third or fourth round.
You can, but it makes it harder. You're
probably going to have to build through free
agency. That's probably the way.
And Chicago.
Chicago's going to get
Caleb Williams.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Remember what Caleb
Williams said now?
If he has to go to,
if he has to go to a team,
that's really bad.
He won't,
he won't do it.
I'm not sure.
Yes.
That's your question.
Don't you give your honest opinion.
You got a chance.
You,
there's a chance you go to a team and that's not where you want to go,
but you know,
the moment you sign, you got $40 million fully guaranteed.
You go back to college.
And what's the potential?
ACL, Achilles, blow out your shoulder.
What are you doing?
That's a good one.
I like when you put it like that, when you give me that analogy,
that hypothetical analogy.
Obviously, I'm going.
But I think Caleb Williams is stuck on that.
Remember, was it Eli Manning?
Who was drafted? Was it Eli Manning that
was drafted to the Chargers?
And they said, uh-uh. It ain't
happening. It ain't happening.
I mean, I'm not sure if Caleb Williams has the same
type of pull, being that that's
NFL...
He ain't got a brother named Peyton and a dad
named Archie. Right, right, right.
I'm not sure if he had that type of leverage, but as
good as Caleb Williams is,
as much as he is sought after
as far as being an number one pick,
I really think he's going to stand on business
about having to go to a team like that
that is extremely bad.
He's going to take the brunt of the issues
and the problems with that franchise.
I really think he is.
I don't believe he stands.
I don't believe he does.
I'm not running the risk.
You'd be foolish.
And you just saw Aaron Rodgers take four snaps and his Achilles go.
Right.
You just saw Kirk Cousins, who really never missed any game,
in his Achilles.
We've seen guys just non-contact injuries.
And I don't want to put that in the air.
But you have to weigh all those options.
You said Eli said, well, I don't want to go play with that team.
But Eli said that after they had taken him number one overall.
So to say you're going to go back and play.
Remember now, he didn't go back to Ole Miss.
He said this.
And the Chargers did him a solid.
And they got, you know, they got Phillip Rivers.
They drafted Sean Merriman.
They got some pretty good players out of that.
So, for me, I'm not so sure.
I'm not so sure.
I don't believe he stands on business.
I know it sounds good.
And it sounds like, oh, man, he's going to do it.
You saw John Elway do it.
And you saw Eli Manning do it.
But it's so much money involved now. You're talking about
40. And here's the thing, Ocho.
Going back to college
puts you another year further away
from that $300 million contract.
That's how you got to think now.
See, you can't think about, well, I'm going
where I don't want to go. That's another
year you kick the can down
the road because by the time he
comes up, the contract is going to be 300
350 million
so are you willing to put that off for
another year I don't
believe so Ocho I'll be honest I don't
do you think do you think
the Bears are going to have the first
pick and are you are you ready to move on
are they ready to move on from Justin Fields
here's the thing though see they got their first
round pick and they got Carolinas no they're going to get the first round pick from carolina that's what they
gonna do they got carolinas pick because remember they the bears had the number one pick they traded
that so guess what you can do i'm gonna take caleb williams i can trade justin fields i can get
another first and a third or a first and a fourth.
So now guess what, Ocho?
I can have me three.
So I have a question.
Do you know what order they're picking?
Because if you go Caleb Williams first,
is it possible to get Marvin Harrison Jr.
or that's not even possible?
It's possible.
How good are the Bears going to be?
How many games are they going to be?
Am I willing?
I don't know if I'm willing to package the second pick in the draft
and maybe the two top ten picks.
I mean, maybe if he has that high of a grade, sure.
If you think he's that good, if you think he can be –
because think about where Justin Jefferson went.
Right.
He went like 18, 19.
Right, right, right. So you look at some of the top
receivers, I think of the guys that are playing
off the charts right now, only Jamal
Chase went in the top five.
Right, right. Look, look, look where
A.J. Brown went. Look what Justin
Jefferson went. Look what C.D. Lamb
went. Look what Tyreek went.
Look where Stephon Diggs went.
Right. Yeah, but Marvin Harrison Jr. what Stephon Diggs win. Right.
Yeah, but Marvin Harrison Jr. is special. He's special. He's a game
chamber. He's a friend. He's a franchise
game chamber type player.
He's dynamic from anywhere on the field.
He can score. He can hit his head off the goalpost
from anywhere on the field. So now that I'm thinking,
I know I'm thinking far ahead, but if
the Bears are able to get capable
and also find a way to manage and get Marvin Harrison Jr.,
man, that'd be beautiful.
That'd take some of the weight off of the coordinator.
But here's the thing.
Plus, you get Marvin Harrison Jr.
You pair him with a DJ Moore.
You pair him with a Cole Kermit.
Now you got
something. You're quarterbacking.
You got young guys
that your quarterback can grow with.
That's nasty.
Yeah, so that's how you got to think.
Get these guys to see the thing.
People don't realize, when Peyton got
there, he had Marvin.
He had Marshall Falk.
They traded Marshall Falk
and then guess what they got Andrew and James
and then guess what a couple years later
they got Reggie Wayne
and guess what
then they went and got Dallas Clark
and then they paired him with
a Brandon Stokely and then they got
Anthony Gonzalez
so you see how
yeah you see what, yeah, yeah.
You see what they did.
That's what you,
that's what you do.
And you get these,
these guys,
I mean,
Phillip Rivers had,
he had Antonio Gates basically from the jump.
Ben had Heinz for a number of years.
He had Plaxico.
He had Antoine Randall L.
What's the receiver that ended up winning?
He wouldn't end up winning up winning a Super Bowl MVP.
Ended up getting traded.
Oh, Santonio.
Santonio.
Santonio.
You see what they did?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They gave them.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's what.
Look what.
Patrick Mahomes had a Travis Kelsey.
Yeah.
He gave him a Sammy Watkins.
He had a Tyreek
okay
he got your ass
so give your young guy
I don't care how talented he is
he can't overcome poor wide receiver
play or poor skill
position play you got to give him
weapons
if you wanted a guy to cook give him some great ingredients
to make a great dish.
It's really that simple, Ocho.
But yeah, it wasn't the best game.
But Thursday, I mean, what do you expect?
Because, Ocho, you know how it was, man.
I didn't start to feel good until damn Friday.
How the hell do you expect me to play
and get beat all up?
Don't play 65, 70 plays on Sunday,
and then I got to turn and flip it right around Thursday.
Do it again. You know, today was, ah, 70 plays on Sunday, and then I got to turn and flip it right around and do it again.
Today was,
it's bad. I hate to say that
as much as I love the game of football, it was
hard to watch. It was hard to watch, but
it's one thing I know.
I hate to skip ahead like this,
but next goddamn Thursday,
them goddamn Bengals and them Ravens.
Yeah.
That's going to be a good one that's the one I can
get up from and you know what
guess what Ocho if you saw they're going to
knock the sword inside you
that's one thing you know the
Ravens man hey that's one thing
having been in that organization for two years
oh they're going to play defense now
oh yeah
that's more than a slogan
when they say play like a Raven, oh, they absolutely.
They meant it.
Listen, any time it was Ravens week, Marvin Lewis always had a motto.
A motto.
It was called bring your second chin strap because you was going to need it.
Because they going to knock the first one off.
Check this out, Ocho.
I know you saw this.
Earlier today, the Westminster Dog Show tweeted.
Yeah.
They have no record of chad being a
judge in 1993 no no they didn't say that they didn't say that don't do that don't do that don't
do that okay they said they said they said we checked the records from 1993 and i was there
they didn't say that i was there i had the photos i have i can get. I can get the photos right now. I wish you would.
What group?
I told you what group. It was the toy
group. It was the toy group.
I judged the toy group.
What group did you judge? The toy group.
Oh, okay.
And I can tell you who won.
Who? 1993. It was
a Bajon Fris.
A Bajon Fris named Stanley. Actually, the Bajon Fris. A Bajon Fris named Stanley.
No, actually, the Bajon Fris, JR.
His name was JR, and he was handled by Scott Summer.
I don't think he won until 2003, 2004.
That was the first year the Bajon won.
Again.
Not 93.
It was 93.
How you going to tell me?
How you going to tell me?
You do realize that.
Hold on.
You do realize, like, I actually covered the Westminster Dog Show.
Hold on.
You covered and I judged.
You covering and me judging is two totally different things.
Okay, since you judged, how many teeth does a dog have?
How many what?
Teeth does a dog have?
Is it what, 40, 43, right?
42.
How many on the top?
How many on the bottom? It's more on the top? How many on the bottom?
It's more at the top than it is at the bottom.
No, it's more at the top.
It's less at the top than it is at the bottom.
No, it's more at the top than it is at the bottom.
It's 20 at the top and 22 at the bottom, Ocho.
Wait, you laughing?
I ain't far off now.
I wouldn't lie to you, Ocho.
Ocho, you know I wouldn't lie to you.
I think you're lying to me, though. I wouldn't lie to you. But I know. Come you, Ojo. Ojo, you know I wouldn't lie to you. I think you lying to me, though.
I wouldn't lie to you.
But I know. Come on. Give me some more questions.
I know about my dog, man.
When I covered it, obviously, you know, you had to know what you're talking about.
And they asked me what breed would I like to cover.
Now, I've owned Rottweilers, Akitas, Bullmastiff, Pomeranians.
You had an Akita?
I did.
They beautiful, man.
Beautiful.
God damn.
You got your work cut out for you with dealing with those now.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
They're loyal.
That's the most loyal dog I ever had.
Right.
Did you hear the story about Hachi?
They had a guy in Japan.
He used to go to work.
He had to catch the train to go to work, which was about 35 miles away.
He was a professor.
Right.
And the dog would go walk to the train station with him,
go back home and around the time the dog,
and he would wait, he would wait for the dog.
He would wait for his owner to come back.
His owner had a heart attack one day and didn't return.
He went to, he'd go back to the train station every day
for nine years and wait for his owner to come back.
And he never came back.
Every day.
They're loyal like that.
We would literally have to give my dog anxiety medicine because when I left to go, I was working at CBS at the time.
Right, right.
He would literally throw up.
He would just sit in the window.
He would just sit in the window and wait for me to come back home.
He wouldn't eat. He would just sit in the window and wait for me to come back home. He wouldn't eat.
He would just sit there and wait.
I have a question. Now, you've owned
a lot of dogs, and there's a pain.
There's a pain that I can't deal with,
and I'm not sure how you're able to withstand that
pain.
When you lose a dog,
when a dog passes away,
how do you deal with that pain? It took
for me, once I got to high me, once I got to high school,
once I got to high school and I lost my bulldog,
I couldn't do it no more.
I couldn't stay in that pain no more.
There's nothing, there's no pain like losing an animal, man,
that you've had for nine, ten years.
How do you continue to do it and put yourself through that?
Because the love that I have for them and the love that
they give me ocho and and and i and i told you this when i had i lost uh i lost titus not no
titan i had a dog had a bull master i had two lost both of them named titan and the thing was
what hurt me so bad is that he was only 30 months old and when I was explaining to the people as I was posted,
I was talking to them on Facebook that I was going to have to put him down.
I said, some things can only be seen through the eyes that have cried.
Unless you've had a pet and lost it, you can possibly,
and people say that all the time.
And people that ask me, like, man, how you, you never owned a pet.
Now, Samson, Samson, you never owned a pet. Now,
Samson,
Samson.
I remember,
uh,
Samson was the key that I had.
And I remember my girlfriend at the time calling me and she said,
well,
she said,
Shannon,
he's not doing well.
I don't know if he's going to make it until you get home.
That was Saturday.
Yeah.
So he'll make it.
I said,
he's not going to go until he sees me.
Yeah.
So when I get home, I get, cause I
couldn't come home. I couldn't come home that night. I had to come home early the next morning.
So I caught the first flight out. I get home. He's laying on the floor on her side of the bed
and I walk it, I walk into the room. I called him Bo. I didn't call him Sam. I called him up.
I said, Bo, he lifts his head up and he's thumping his tail.
He could. That's all he could do. He could just thump his tail. Just thump his tail on the floor.
And it was like, OK, I'm good now. I don't saw daddy. I'm good.
So by that time, I've all we've already made, you know, the nurse was going to come over and they were going to put him down.
Ocho, I'm talking about it was almost instantly.
He was so ready to go.
Man, as soon, I'm talking about probably one drop, he was gone.
He just, he had to see me.
He wasn't going to go until he saw me.
All my dogs are the same way. I had a
Tonka man, Ocho.
He was perfect. I'm talking about
he was jumping up on the bed and everything.
And Thursday, he had like a little
limp. I said, but okay. He's okay.
He's getting a little old, but I'd say he's okay.
Friday,
he struggled, but he came up the stairs.
And so I was like, okay, I'm going to take him to the bed. If he don't get any was like, okay, I'm going to take him to the bed.
If he don't get any better than this Monday,
I'm going to take him to the bed.
So I'm upstairs on Saturday morning
and I hear him struggling, trying to come upstairs.
And I run down the stairs.
I got the two little ones at the time, Taz and Tarzan.
I got the two little ones and I go downstairs.
I said, nah, I said, nah, don't worry about it, buddy.
So,
I grabbed my keys.
I had my phone because I already knew I was going to take him to the bed.
I said, you want to go for a ride?
He loved a ride.
Oh, Joe. He take
two steps outside and
falls.
So, now, I got to pick
a 167-pound dog up and I got to pick 167 pound dog up and I pick,
I got so much adrenaline going. I pick him up like he a pillow.
I put him in my car and I'm driving to the vet.
I got the windows down. He's looking at the window cause he loves,
he has a seizure. So now I'm driving down Wilshire.
He's having a seizure about to
jump out the window
so I've got to hold the steering wheel like this
and grab him
and pull him back
so I go away
I run into the van I said my dog had a seizure
you know blah blah blah he can't walk
so they get there and they ask
what happened I said we came outside
I was going to bring him here and he just
collapsed he just collapsed. He just
doesn't have any
movement in his hind legs.
They said, okay, we'll
see what we can do for him.
I drove out of there saying
he's never going to be the same boy.
He's never going to be the same Tonka man again.
So he stayed there. They ran some tests
and they said, well, Mr. Sharp,
they think he had a blood clot
and it paralyzed him from his back down i went and got him uh that wednesday me and my girlfriend we
went and got him i rode him around i always would take him every day i took him around the block i
took him his favorite took him the scenic route around right um she made him his favorite meal
she made him steak and potatoes uh real who's a good friend of mine who used to watch him as a puppy,
she came over and saw him.
She said, can I come over and see him?
I said, yep.
CJ, my producer, came over and brought him some treats.
Had the guy come over.
I said, boy, it's going to be okay.
I said, Tonka Man is going to be okay.
And I put him down.
But Ocho,
people say, you know,
I've heard people say, you know,
I found happiness.
Or I found myself.
Happiness and self isn't something you find.
It's something you create.
I've created a happiness
with those dogs that is indescribable. find is something you create. I've created a happiness with
those dogs
that is indescribable.
And like you said, oh, it's pain. Because my sister
had two Rottweilers at first.
And my sister, I gave them to my sister
because the apartment complex
wouldn't let me have two dogs.
And so I told my sister, you know,
to take them. Man,
and one of them dogs lost she said Shannon
I'll watch your dogs but I don't want another one she said she said that pain hurt me like I lost
a child and she actually did lose her son and she said Shannon it hurt like that yeah she said I
don't want another she said I'll watch him I'll come stay as long as you need me to stay she said, I'll watch him. I'll come, stay as long as you need me to stay. She said, but Sheldon, I can't do this
again. So I understand what you're
saying, but man,
Ocho, I've had a dog every year since 92.
I can't imagine my life without one.
I can't.
I can't deal with that pain. You sitting here telling
me, you telling me stories of your dog,
you got me over here crying
and they ain't even my damn dog. I ain't even
lose them. That's the type of that's, no, it's, I can my damn dog. I ain't even lose them.
That's the type of, that's, no, it's, I can't do it.
I can't, I can't withstand that pain again.
When I lost my dog, that bulldog, when I was in high school, never again.
Never again.
Because they don't ever get upset at you. I don't want that.
Ocho, you can yell and scream and leave the house.
When you come back, they're going to be waiting on you at the front door.
Man, where you been? Man, I've been waiting
on you all day to get back home. You just not
get back home. Come on, let's go to the backyard.
What you eating? Give me some of what you eating.
There's nothing like a love that an animal
I mean, I've never owned a
cat, but you know, cat people
say the cat give them the same type of love
and satisfaction that a dog does.
Yeah. So, oh, you know what, Ocho? people say the cat give them the same type of love and satisfaction that a dog does yeah so uh
oh you know what i wanted to get and i know you probably heard of it by now i wanted to respond
to some of the criticism and i normally don't respond to the criticism because i don't i don't
care anyway and there have been a lot of guys there have been a lot of people taking shots
at me personally.
But we know why. They see Unk and Ocho. They see the success that we're having.
They see Club Shea Shea, the success that I'm having doing that.
They see the success that I'm having on ESPN. So sometimes the only success someone can have is that they take a bite out of you.
That's their success is about biting you. And I'm cool with that. But I was asked, and I think the question was,
is that LeBron said he would be still the same player
had he never played in Miami.
Absolutely.
And two things can be true.
I believe LeBron James would have still been
the all-time leading scorer.
I still believe LeBron James would have scored 30,000
points, had 10,000 rebounds,
10,000 assists. I still
believe he would have been a first-team
All-NBA player. I still
believe he would have been a multi-time
All-Star player. But
the pushback that I'm going to give,
I do not believe he's LeBron James
that we know without that stand in Miami.

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

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 Company on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts. 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.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Because without that, because prior to him going there, he had zero championships, but two MVPs.
He goes to miami he gives two titles and two more mvps so now he's four and two there's only a handful of people now you gotta go there's only
three people before lebron did it wilt got four jordan has five russell has five and i think
kareem has six so there there's four people. So now
LeBron is an exclusive company.
So now people got like, hold on,
wait a minute. And he
had him at the age of 28.
So now
he goes back to
Cleveland. He gets another
title. Four and three.
He goes to LA.
He gets another title. Now he's four and four. So now he he gets another title now he's four and four so now he's an elite
company he's one of one of two men to win multiple mvps two locations kareem right three and three
three in milwaukee three in la he's one of two men to win multiple mvps uh finals MVPs, at different locations.
Kawhi,
San Antonio,
Toronto,
Kareem,
Milwaukee, LA,
LeBron James.
So could you still be the same player?
Yes,
but not the player we know
because without that,
because whether you see,
here's the thing, Ocho,
you can't say,
and everybody keeps saying,
he could go anywhere and win those titles.
Yeah.
Kevin Durant.
At that age, he can.
Kevin Durant went to Golden State, stayed three years, won two titles,
finals MVP both years, got hurt the third year, even though advanced, they lost.
He went to Brooklyn for four years.
How many more times, how many more championships he won?
Whoa, can I ask you a question?
Let me stop you right there.
We talk about LeBron James.
Okay.
We talk about the greatest play.
We talk about the greatest play on the planet
that would change the dynamic of any team he's on.
So in his 20s,
in his early,
in his late, late, late 20s,
they say 28,
he could have went anywhere.
He could have went to any team
and they would have been in the finals.
Why did he go to Miami then?
The way he told him to come home. No, no, no, no, no. But you said he could have went anywhere. He could have went to any team and they would have been in the finals. Why did he go to Miami then? D-Wade told him to come home.
No, no, no, no, no.
But you said he could have gone anywhere.
I mean, he could have gone anywhere.
That was the best chance for him to win.
Am I correct?
What?
Obviously, he wanted to pair himself.
He wanted to pair himself with Bosh and Wade.
I mean...
See, Ocho,
see, this is what...
You can't say... Remember, he won with Cleveland, right?
Yes.
Who did he have on the team with him?
But here's the thing.
What knowledge did he take back that he had acquired from Miami
back to Cleveland?
How to win.
Oh, so where did he learn that?
In Miami.
Okay, then.
So without that state in Miami, is he the same?
Do we view him the same?
Without those four MVPs, without those two other MVPs,
because here's the thing, Ocho, this is what we got to look.
If he doesn't get those two MVPs, regular season,
and those two final MVPs, how do you put him in front of Kareem?
Kareem has six regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs, five titles. How do you put him in front of Kareem? Kareem has six regular season MVPs, two finals
MVPs, five titles. How do you put him in front of Jordan, who's six and six? How do you put him in
front of Tim Duncan, who has five titles, three finals MVP, two regular season MVPs? How do you
put him in front of Magic? Magic has three regular season MVPs, five finals, three finals MVPs.
How do you put him in there if he doesn't have that Miami stint on his resume?
You're underestimating how great LeBron is.
I think if he didn't go to Miami, if he chose to go somewhere else, regardless of where it would have been,
I think the outcome would have been the same.
No, that's not what he said. Even he said it.
If you read LeBron James'ames tweet this is what lebron
said you damn right i would still be i'm chosen ain't nothing changing maybe less rings but
dominant from start to finish even he said it he said maybe less rings but common sense of the eye
test will tell you wherever lebron goes that team hell or high water, is probably going to be in the finals or in contention to be in it.
No, no, no.
No, no.
It's always been that.
You got to win it.
It's always been that with him.
Hold on.
It can't be contention because he went to the finals four years in Cleveland.
He won one.
Yeah.
He's only won one title in L.A.
He's been here five years.
So we can't automatically assume because that's hypothetical we can let's deal with
what we know Ocho we've got to deal with what we know and that's what I'm saying because now
without those two extra MVPs regular season without those two extra finals MVPs guess who
else you bring into the equation one Stephen Curry yeah Because Steph has four. Yeah.
Steph has two MVPs and a final MVP.
So now let's just say for the sake of argument, LeBron has two regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs.
MVPs, yeah.
Are we looking at LeBron the same way?
Yeah, we are.
No, we're not.
Because he's different.
No.
He's different.
I mean, he's different. No, he's different. So are you basing his greatness solely on MVPs and titles alone? That's it. But that's how you get into the GOAT debate is rings. Remember? Rings. No. Okay. Right. You and I both said you can be great and not have ring.
Charles Barkley was a great player.
Karl Malone was a great player.
John Stockton was a great player.
We can't, we can't put,
we can't put them on the same stratosphere on the same pedestal as LeBron.
But let me ask you, LeBron is different.
He's, he's in a category of his own with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant.
But what does he have? Rings, rings, Ocho.
Right. I understand what you're saying, but even still, just even, even, even without the rings, dude, dude, he's, he's.
Ocho, without the rings, he's not in the gold conversation.
Without the rings, he's not in the gold conversation.
So you.
He's out of it. He's out of it. It's not even a debate.
See, for me, I don't put anybody i don't put
if you look at my top five my top five you have to have at least three regular season mvps that's
how i took it three so let me ask you a question yes let's say he had the scoring title yes but
he wasn't able to win any rings or championships.
So he's not in the goal conversation?
He wouldn't even, no.
Because he don't have any rings.
He wouldn't even be in the conversation.
So how would you put him with no rings?
Hold on.
Ocho, think about this here.
Is it different for football then?
No.
So the players that were great that have never won a ring,
does that mean they're not great?
They're not in the conversation because it's a team game.
It's a team game.
But here's the thing.
When you look at quarterbacks, name a quarterback.
It's Brady, Montana.
It's Manny.
Yeah.
Now, see, and this is what we talk about the levels.
This is what we're talking about goals
because you can be great and not and not have rings you can i believe that i believe you can
be great and not have ring charles barton was a great player okay look at how we look at kevin
durant look at scott now excuse me i take that. I'm talking about Kevin. Look at how we looked at Kevin Garnett before and then after he got that ring.
You see the difference?
Look at how we looked at Dirk Nowitzki before and after he got the ring.
So my argument is, how would we be able to say LeBron is a goat
with just two rings?
When Kobe has five,
when Duncan has five,
when Kareem has five,
when Jordan has six,
when Magic has five,
and all the guys that I mentioned are
Jordan,
Jordan has six,
has five regular season MVPs. Magic has five regular season MVPs.
Magic has three regular season
MVPs with three finals MVPs.
So, you're
right, but I don't believe
without Miami because here's the
thing. We saw. I
believe, and I think everybody out there believe,
had Kevin Durant not gotten hurt in 2019,
Toronto not beating them.
No, absolutely not.
But you see what can happen?
You see what can happen?
One injury changed the landscape.
Yeah.
You see what happened with Kevin Durant,
with LeBron?
Kyrie and Kevin Love got hurt.
Changed the whole complexion of the series, didn't it?
Right, right.
Kevin Durant in Brooklyn.
Kyrie gets hurt.
James Harden is dealing with a hamstring.
You see how things got to be?
Now, this is what we know for LeBron.
He's averaged 25 points.
He's never scored less than 25 points in the season since his rookie year.
He averages 27-7-7.
I believe he goes anywhere else and still averages 27, seven and seven.
Yeah.
But averaging 27,
seven and seven ain't the same as what he did in Miami.
And when he got two more MVPs back to back,
two more finals,
MVPs back to back,
it changed the way we looked at it.
But I still,
I'm telling you,
I still think you,
your,
your knowledge of the game of basketball is much better than I am.
Me, as an outsider watching in, I think, regardless of what LeBron tweeted, minus Leshrings, minus Leshrings is my ass.
I have a feeling that he could have went to any team, any NBA team, obviously with a supporting cast, an efficient supporting cast, and done the exact same thing he did in Miami.
I know he could have. I know he could have.
I know he could have because he's that special of a player.
He's that special.
How do we know?
Because remember, it takes more than just four to win a title.
Look at the resume.
The resume speaks for itself.
Ocho, think about how close they came to losing the title.
They was a Ray Allen backpedal behind the three.
Three.
The greatest shot in NBA history.
Clutch.
Just to survive.
Right.
So for us to sit here and say,
well, he could have gone anywhere else and won anything,
it's really not that simple, Ocho.
Not for a championship.
Is it that simple for him to go somewhere
and average 27-77?
Or to average 30
like he did for the lakers two years ago and like he averaged 29 last year sure he's that he's that
he's lebron he's a goat right and i said what made me put him there is that when i factored
into regular season mvps i factored into finals mvps at three different stops. Now, Ocho, 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 10,000 assists.
You factor in all the first team, all the NBAs.
You factor in all the all-star appearances.
You start factoring all of that.
This is just not a longevity because there are a lot of guys that played 20,
not a lot of guys, I think there are nine guys that played a total of 20 years
or more, but they're averaging four points he's gonna average four he's gonna end up averaging
what he's he i don't i don't know if he averaged 27 but he'll probably be around 24 25 points a
game and you're 21 yeah so that's that's that's what i believe though i think the thing is ocho
i think what the reason what what caught people so far off guard is that this is a totally different audience, ESPN, than when I was at Undisputed.
And if you watch me on Undisputed, you know that I've criticized some of the things LeBron has done.
We had a play, some of the things that he's said.
I think that people had this perception that all I do is Kate, Kate, Kate,
Kate, Kate for LeBron. Right. And that's not true.
I don't believe any player.
I don't believe any person is beyond reproach.
I don't believe any player or any person is a beyond criticism because you
have being who you are. Criticism comes along with it. Right. If you don't want the criticism, you should not take the praise.
Yeah. He's still in my estimation to go,
but I believe it took that Miami stint to put him on the path.
Now going back to Cleveland, going to four more, winning an MVP,
going to the Lakers, winning another finals MVP.
And he's been dominant. He's been great. So they made it seem like I say LeBron was a bum.
Man, if he ain't go to LeBron. And it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive, Ocho.
Miami benefited. LeBron benefited. A lot of times we just want to say, no, you benefited.
But I like to think in a relationship,
no matter if it ended or not,
we both got something out of it.
Right.
I like that.
That's just me.
Now, sometimes we're like,
I ain't getting nothing out of that.
I ain't getting nothing.
Right.
Okay.
I took something.
Maybe if it wasn't nothing but a damn good meal. I got something out of it.
That's a good one, man.
That's a good one. But I'm telling you, I wholeheartedly
believe he could have gone anywhere.
He came to the heat, what, 2012?
2011.
2010, because they ended up losing.
Think about it, Ocho. Think about it now.
For me, had he won
2011 against the Mavericks, I don't even think it's a debate. I don't think it's Ocho. Think about it now. For me, had he won 2011 against the Mavericks, I don't
even think it's a debate.
I don't think it's a debate. A lot
of people can't put LeBron in front
of Jordan for the simple fact
of 2011.
They said, I just can't do it. Because
I saw guys that
Jordan would have scored 60 on.
They're not putting J.J.
Barea on Michael Jordan. They're not putting J.J. Barea on Michael Jordan.
They're not putting Deshaun Stevenson on Michael Jordan.
And so a lot of people can't get over that hurdle there.
Right.
Right.
But I believe it took all of that to get him to what we see now.
The finished product that we see now happened because of 2011.
Yeah.
But the finished product would have been the same regardless of where he was
at because of who he is. Because of who he, but the finished product would have been the same regardless of where he was at because of who
he is. Because of who
he is, the finished product. You can't tell
me, well, if he didn't come to
the Miami Heat, the finished product of what
we're witnessing now wouldn't
be who he is. It would still be the same
guy. But you're saying individually.
See, I'm not talking about individually.
I'm talking from a team aspect as well.
I'm talking from a team aspect and having MPPs and championships.
If he went somewhere else,
he could have still done it.
But think about Ocho.
He's averaged probably,
look at that.
He averaged 30,
29 last year.
Right.
28,
29 last year,
30 the year before.
They ain't win no titles.
I have a question.
I have a question.
This is something I don't have in front of me.
He went to the Heat in 2011.
Right? Yeah.
I wish I had the rosters
of the other teams to choose from that
he could have gone to, and I guarantee you could
pick at least five or
six other teams he could have gone to, and
they would have been in the finals with the opportunity to win a championship.
And he had an opportunity to get those MVP
finals. I guarantee you.
I just don't have the information in front of you right now.
Off the top of my head.
I think I can remember.
I know Miami was one.
He ended up going to Miami.
I think the Knicks,
but talking to Rich Paul,
Knicks were never really in play.
And I think Chicago.
Oh yes.
Yes.
And I'm not,
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure the rosters,
but yes.
Well,
you had at the time you had D. Rose
you had Yoakim Noah
you had
you had Tom Gibson
cause that year he won the MVP
over LeBron come on man so you mean
to tell me Jimmy Butler
oh
championship
championship MVP
and a ring
with the Bulls that year.
Yes.
Come on now.
But.
There's no but about it.
That's an MVP,
championship.
Trust me.
And it's not even a hypothetical.
I put,
I put my life savings on that.
If it was to happen,
I wish,
I wish we could rewind time.
We can't though.
We can't.
Prime D,
Prime D road, Jimmy Butler, Joe Kim Noah, we can. Prime D, Prime D,
Jimmy Butler,
Joe Kim, Noah,
and LeBron.
And you mean to tell me
that I wouldn't know Chip?
We never know.
Have we seen?
We do know.
We've seen,
Ocho,
we've seen things happen.
Just because you have
the most talent,
you've seen teams.
Look.
Look at the Patriots.
Patriots had the most talent. You remember in 2007 look. Look at the Patriots. Patriots had the most talent.
You remember in 2007?
And the little old Giants barely made the
playoffs. Got them.
I mean,
who would have thought the Dallas
Mavericks would have beaten the Miami
Heat? Who would have thought the Detroit
Pistons would have taken down
Shaq and Kobe? Oh, yeah.
Think about that now.
Hey, them boys, that was Ben Wallace and them boys, huh?
Ben, Shee, Rhea, Chance, Tayshaun.
They were playing some defense, boy.
And see, Ocho, that's what I say.
You don't know.
Right.
Let's deal.
The only thing I can say for certain,
looking at LeBron James' career,
is that pencil him in for 27-7-7.
Write it in the book.
And I'm writing it in non-erasable ink.
You can't erase it.
That's what I know.
But championships are a lot harder to come by.
People keep talking about Jordan was six for six.
Jordan played 15 years.
So the other nine years, he didn't get there.
Right. You're right. years, he didn't get there. Right.
You're right.
Well, I have a question.
Since we're on the topic of basketball,
on something that I need to gain a little bit more knowledge about.
Okay.
What do the Lakers need?
Outside of Anthony Davis staying healthy,
they need one more.
One more star.
They got to hit some shots.
It's the first time, I think,
in NBA history through the first eight games
they've made less field goals
from the three and shot a worse
percentage.
In NBA history.
It's still early, though.
They instituted the three-point line in
1979.
That was a year after you was born.
That's when the three-point line line Chris Ford made the very first three point
shot. So think about that. Go
back all the way back. They've
been outscored by 74 points
in the first quarter, which is the most
in NBA history through
this amount of games.
Wait, outscored by how much?
74.
Hey, man, we got to go to a Laker game, man.
How much
course size seats?
Ocho, before I get
to that, we just hit a quarter
of a mil. Thank you.
Thank you.
We got to get the guy, whoever the
person was, that was our
250,000 subscriber. He got to get the guy that whoever the person was that was our 250,000 subscriber.
He got to get a special something.
So we're going to find out who our 250,000.
We got a quarter of a million.
250,000?
Yeah.
Now the goal is to try to get us a half a million.
We got to get a half a million by the end of the year.
You know what we should do?
Whoever the 250,000 person is, we should get them 250,000.
250,000 what? Pennies? No, $250,000 person is, we should get them 250,000. 250,000 what?
Pennies?
No,
250,000 dollars.
You,
we go half and half.
No,
we're not going to go half and half.
I think that's what we should do.
And every time,
every time we hit,
when we hit 500,000,
we should go half and half.
Give whoever the 500 subscribers is.
That's something you and the volume
can work out.
No,
I'm talking about this between me and you.
This,
this,
this me and you,
we doing this.
I ain't got it like that.
I ain't got it like that.
You do.
You flying private.
You got your little
Goyard bag.
You got your little doll.
You got your little
$10,000 doll.
I better go half on
a little mini-me
with somebody,
but that's all I can go
half on right now, Hocho.
Mini-me?
Who's pregnant?
I ain't nobody pregnant.
Honestly,
that's the only thing
I'll be able to go half on. Oh, I see what you're saying. That's the only thing I'll go half on. Okay, okay, many. Who's pregnant? I don't know. I ain't nobody pregnant. I just don't think I'll be able to go half on.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
I don't know if I'll go half on.
Okay, okay, okay.
No, but I'm just saying that would be dope.
Hey, look, that's never been done before, man.
Think about it.
Let's sleep on that, man.
Think about it.
Every time we hit a certain milestone, we should get...
You tell me to sleep on that, I might not wake up, Ocho.
We got to make it fun and exciting for the people, man.
Can you imagine?
Whoever the 500,000 subscriber is, they get 500 grand.
You give them 250, I give them 250.
I ain't got it like that, Ocho.

we're going to find out
who the quarter of a million
subscribers is.
And so throughout,
and it's just not going to be
at milestones 300, 350, 400,
but periodically,
some random subscriber is going to get a, you know,
we're going to send something in your direction to show the amount of our appreciation.
It's going to be money.
It might be money.
It might be a signed helmet.
It might be a signed jersey.
It might be tickets to a game.
No, Unc, in this economy, people need money.
We're going to send you some money.

Wouldn't help Malik Willis, but had no problem helping Will Levis.
This is what he said.
He said, Tannehill on Will, but it's a situation that I'm in.
I have to walk through it.
Will has done some good things, obviously.
He came in, played well, and I'm going to be here
and answer any questions he might have and help him out along the way.
This is what Tanny Hill said when the Titans drafted Malik Willis.
I don't think it's my job to mentor him.
I'm just trying to figure what happened in the year.
Right.
You didn't want to mentor Malik Willis,
but you got no problem answering any questions
that Will Levers may or may not have.
Well, I think obviously when you draft a quarterback,
you know he's coming after your job.
I think Brett Favre said the same thing about Aaron Rodgers,
if I'm not mistaken, something similar to that.
It wasn't his job to mentor him.
And that's a hurtful thing,
knowing that a quarterback is coming in to take your job. I think now a hurtful thing, knowing that a quarterback
is coming in to take your job.
I think now, at this point...
You believe in your ability?
Oh, yeah. Me?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I believe in mine.
I ain't worried about it.
But I ain't worried about it.
But you know they're trying...
Why they take the quarterback?
Because they're trying to get him out of there.
They're trying to get him out of there.
You know that.
Ask yourself.
If you notice,
they wasn't drafting.
What's the likelihood you think
they draft another receiver
in the first round
as long as Chase there?
Ain't happening.
It ain't happening.
So, Ryan Tannehill should be mad.
For me, this is the way
I approached it, Ocho.
I was so secure in my job.
I'm going to tell you.
See, I talked to guys
and every guy that backed up me went to the Pro Bowl. Todd Heat, when I was in Baltimore, I'm going to tell you. See, I talked to guys, and every guy that backed up me went to
the Pro Bowl. Todd Heat, when I was
in Baltimore, I left, he went to the Pro Bowl.
Dwayne Carswell and Byron Chamberlain,
when I left, Carswell went to the
Pro Bowl for the Broncos, Chamberlain went to the
Pro Bowl for the Vikings.
But we had that relationship.
I know they couldn't get my job.
I was secure. But
I needed them, if something happened to me, I needed them to know, damn, even though they didn't get my job i was secure but i needed them if something happened to me
i needed them to know damn near even though they didn't have the physical abilities that i had
i needed them to know the team couldn't miss a beat how selfish am i gonna be to withhold anything
that could help them because people help me i remember being in training camp and having a guy
tell me the wrong route
and I said, if I ever got in that situation,
I would never do that to a player.
Wait, somebody told you the wrong route? Yeah.
As a joke? No.
Bro, it's cutthroat.
We're both low-round picks.
He's trying to make the team. I'm trying to make the team.
Okay. Oh, he on that.
Oh, he on that. And I said, I just
swore. I said, Lord, if I'm fortunate enough to ever make it,
I'm going to tell a lot of guys,
I see guys coming in the huddle and I can tell you can tell when a guy coming
to huddle, he don't know what the hell he got to do. I said, man, you,
you got to come back. So, and so, yeah, you hot now. Hey, you hot.
Make sure you, Hey, Hey, you got this route, but if it's covered too,
you got to release outside release outside and run the fade
so
Ocho
you know when a guy
coming in
he don't know what the hell
he doing
so
before
and
the thing that I like
they were patient with me
Ocho
man I ain't know nothing
let me tell you
I'm gonna tell you a true story
Ocho
Dan Reeve used to send the plays
and he have a player
you know
I run a play,
I'll come back out. Next play,
he send me in with the play.
So, I'm tired now. I don't got tired.
You know, when you get tired, Ocho, you know,
fatigue will make cowards up a song.
Yeah.
Dan got his hand on my shoulder. He said,
tell me the play. I run in the ball game.
I breathe in. John, look at me. John said,
what's the play? I said, I forgot.
I'm out.
I did, Ojo. I'm sorry.
Ojo, I want to go.
How you forgot to play from the sideline
to the huddle? I forgot. You know,
I'm running up. John, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I get in the huddle. I'm down.
I'm down. Look at the John. John, look at me.
He's like, T, what's the play?
I'm like, oh, shit.
I forgot.
I did, man.
I forgot.
Man.
I didn't want to look over there, Dan, because I already know he was cursing.
Yeah, he was hot.
I knew he was hot, man.
You done made a man waste of time out, man.
He wasted time out, man. He wasted time. But, but, but what, so what,
what do you think happened between last year and says,
I don't think it's my job to mentor Malik Willis.
And this year where he says, Hey,
I'm here to answer any questions and help him out along the way.
I think he was, he was over it.
He was over it.
Obviously they drafted Malik Willis and he's like, okay,
I'm going to beat this kid out and I'm not going to help him.
And then they drafted a quarterback the following year again.
And probably Tannehill's like,
well,
God damn,
they must not really like me.
So I might as well get to helping and helping develop these,
you know,
the quarterback that they have at the helm now,
because they trying to find a way to get me up out of here.
I mean,
the writing is on the wall.
Well,
he dragged that quarterback one year. I mean, I liked Tannehill. I don't have a problem with it me up out of here. I mean, the writing is on the wall. You draft one quarterback one year.
I mean, I like Tannehill.
I don't have a problem with it.
He's not in the elite category, but he's an efficient quarterback
if you got receivers to throw to him.
I mean, he's good.
Think about what you're saying.
You had Derrick Henry at his absolute apex,
and Derrick Henry is still running the ball,
and that's all the fight you can go?
So think about what you're throwing again.
Think about you had A.J. Brown.
Think about you had A.J. Brown. Think about you had A.J. Brown.
And he was balling that.
He was balling.
Him and A.J. had a nice little white guy.
Look at A.J. with Jalen Hurts.
And look at A.J. with Tanny Hill.
And when you got Derrick Henry,
what cover do you think you're throwing against
if you got Derrick Henry in your backfield?
Single high.
Nine in the box.
Exactly.
Nine in the box.
You got single high.
Ain't no disguise. Ain't no nothing. You got single high. They better drop that safety down in the box. Exactly. Nine in the box. You got single high. Ain't no disguise.
Ain't no nothing.
You got single high.
They better drop that safety down in the box.
Yeah, you know, the makeup, you can't really compare.
The makeup of the Titans offense and the makeup of the Eagles offense
is completely different.
Completely different.
And I think, you know, over there in Tennessee,
you know it was run first.
But the Eagles, nigga, they throwing that bitch two million times a game.
But that wasn't how it was until they got who?
They got A.J.
Yeah.
So now you got A.J., you run,
because remember they had Devontae.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So now, okay, put nine in the box
to try to stop this run and see what we do for it.
Because now you got A.J. on one side,
you double A.J., you got Devontae working single coverage.
He going to kill you, yeah.
And you got Zacharias.
And you had Dallas Goddard,
he broke his forearm,
he's going to miss about a month.
But you see,
I just don't,
I never understood guys being that selfish
that they don't want to help the player
because of him.
Are you that insecure?
Yeah, you got,
you a dude,
a man,
somebody coming in
to take your job, man.
You took somebody's job?
Somebody is literally
coming in.
You took somebody's job?
How the hell do you think
you got on the field?
I ain't take nobody's job.
Yeah, you did.
There was receivers there.
So the Cincinnati Bengals
had no receivers
before they drafted Ocho Cinco.
No, see,
this is what you don't even know.
Let me tell you,
this is a quick story,
funny story.
Like, real quick story.
I came out of college as a DB. I was a db okay tell the story i want you to tell the story about the wide receiver so the bingos had no wide receivers prior to you coming yeah they had
some good ones darnay scott ron dugans uh the the greatest collegiate receiver of all time
peter ward they was there and I think Darnay
was on the back end
so once Darnay left then I
filled in the role at the X
okay so you took somebody's job
I mean he was
done playing I wouldn't say really taking somebody's job
you know once receivers hit year 10
you know that's like kind of like the
okay we go move on
but here's the thing O Ocho. The thing was
if Darnay Scott was still, Darnay Scott could still do it,
they wouldn't have moved on. Hey, he was nice, boy. He was nice.
Remember Darnay Scott? I do.
But for me, Ocho, I just looked at it like, hey, I took somebody's job.
Let me get them ready. Because at the end of the day, I just looked at it like, hey, I took somebody's job. Let me get them ready.
Because at the end of the day, I wanted to be a great teammate.
I wanted guys that's like, man, I really enjoy playing sharp.
And I always told the guys, every time I left, I said,
hopefully you enjoyed me as much as I enjoyed you.
Right.
Everybody different though, huh?
They are.
Everybody different.
The NFL is a business, man.
The NFL is a business.
And every time somebody come in that locker room, every time
somebody get drafted, they are coming to
take your job. You're not there to make
no goddamn friends. You got
miles to feed. You got a family to feed.
You got bills to pay. He can't get it.
Everybody don't have
your mentality, though. I told, I told,
I told, I taught, I did the best
bad job I best I could. I tried
to help Todd heat recoverages,
have him understand when guys playing this leverage,
just what he's trying to do,
you don't let him blah, blah, blah, X, Y, Z.
But Ozzie knew in order for them to maximize Todd,
I had to go.
And I was cool with that.
When he called me, he said,
hey, boy, what you want to do?
I said, you tell me what you think I should do.
He said, bro, you went to the Pro Bowl.
He said, you led all tight ends and catches. Hell said, you tell me what you think I should do. He said, bro, you went to the Pro Bowl. He said, you led
all tight ends and catches.
Hell yeah, you can still play.
But we did take Todd
in the first round
to do what you got to do.
With no hard feelings.
I said, hey,
I said, hey,
I said, bro, thank you
for the opportunity
to show that I just wasn't
a Mike Shanahan,
Johnny Owe guy.
I said, thank you for the opportunity.
Right.
I went back to Denver.
I was cool with that.
That business cutthroat, ain't it?
Yeah.
Ocho.
Ocho.
What Baltimore did was made sure that I never had to work another day in my life.
I'm going to be mad about that.
Yeah.
I like that.
I got three small kids.
Now I can take the money, my signing bonus.
Okay, y'all got to college.
Y'all colleges, whatever college you want to go to.
Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Georgia Tech, straight.
Right.
Everything.
Hey, Sheldon ain't got enough.
The moment, hey, Sheldon can kick his heels up if I want to work.
And that's what I tell people.
I work because I want to, not because I have to.
There's a difference between the two.
There's levels to this pitch.
Right, right.
Talk your shit, huh?
Talk your shit now.
That's how I was.
I was going to never be mad at Ozzy.
They gave me an opportunity.
And people looked at me totally different.
They're like, oh, okay, he can still play.
Went back to Denver, had two great years.
CBS gave me an opportunity.
But that's just the way I am
Ocho if somebody need help hey guys come on hey man I want to do that I get guys all the time
man I want to start a podcast this is what you need to do xyz blah blah blah or when they came
when I was at Undisputed the guys would come on say man I kind of want to get into this I say
well you need to start doing it now I say the mistake that a lot of people made, Ocho. They wait till after.
They wait till the last year.
No, do that early.

How long can you stay cuddling up with your spouse or significant other before Ocho, look about this. I want you to see. I need you to stay with me. You going to stay with me? Yes, sir. I'm with you, baby.
How long can you stay
cuddled up with your spouse
or significant other
before you need space
to go to sleep?
You're not watching Netflix.
You're going to sleep.
I'm still saying 20 minutes.
Because, listen,
that heat,
it relaxes you.
And if it's the right woman,
if it's your woman,
her being in your arms, it's like you. And if it's the right woman, if it's your woman, her being in your arms is like busy late. Well, hell, if she in my arms, she my woman.
She about to blow somebody else's way, she be in my house.
But she my woman when she here.
That ain't got shit to do with me.
That ain't got nothing to do with me.
Where she supposed to be, I'm saying where she actually is.
Right.
I'm just saying, something about a woman's touch or a man's touch with a woman it allows you to be
at ease and sleep much better
which is why I'm saying 20 minutes is not
far fetched for cuddling
I sleep better when a 6 pound head
ain't in my arms I don't know about
you but a 6 pound
a 6 pound head
tends to keep me
awake at night
you gotta get comfortable man you to get comfortable, man.
You got to get comfortable. There are many
positions.
You know, I do this.
Wait, hold on.
Where the dog be at?
The dog be in the bed too?
Yeah, little one. But here's the thing
though, Ocho. You know how somebody's head get
and you got to try to move your arm up out
the way so you don't want to wake up.
Yeah, I know you're talking about it.
I know you're talking about it.
Before you get to that point,
I'm going to move on over here.
I'm going to move on over here.
But I need
space. And like I said, Ocho,
I generate a crazy
amount. I'm telling you, I'll be sweating.
And if I'm not careful, I mean, I have to, like, change my sheets in the middle of the night because I sweat so much.
God damn.
Yeah.
Look, Mr. Be Nasty.
Well, y'all might be a match made in heaven.
You got to change your sheets.
You got to change those sheets, man.
I mean,
well,
we changed our sheets for different reasons,
man.
Let me start with you.
Oh,
let me ask you a question.
Obviously you've gone out on some dates.
I mean,
Hey,
before you got real,
you probably going out once a month,
twice a month.
Once a month?
I was going out every night.
What?
Oh, Lord.
With a chick?
Yeah.
What?
Listen, I had a roster, boy.
Before Real came along, Real was in line.
She was like number, she was about 32, number 32.
32?
Yeah, she worked her way up the line.
She worked up the way.
So you got some
experience with this. What's the worst
thing
that a woman can do on a date?
Oh, can I be honest
with you? I ain't going to sit and play with you.
Now you know how I am about my money.
You know how I am about my money.
And when it comes to dealing with women
that want to take advantage of you
listen I'm not I'm looking for acid I'm not looking
for liability so what I do on the first
date one of the worst things a woman could do
is when the bill come I have
a problem I always pull out a deck of uno cards
I always pull out a deck
of uno cards and I watch for the woman's reaction
I watch for the woman's
reaction to see if there's a problem.
Like women,
women,
listen,
y'all have fought for equality for a very long time.
Not only was convenient,
but when it comes to paying bills,
it shouldn't be a problem.
So I love to play Uno on dates.
I love to play Uno on dates and bet game best two out of three.
Yeah.
Two out of three.
Did I say that right?
Two out of three.
Yeah.
Two out of three.
And you know,
whoever loses pays for dinner. And that's something that I always do on my first dates.
And most of the time it went over well. I'm not sure if it went over well because it was me
at the time. Always have a great time. Always have enjoyable time. I'm a conversationalist.
I can talk a lot on various topics and that's it. i think that's just i hate someone that always wants
i i don't want to say the wrong thing let me let me just stop before i say the wrong thing
i mean what what what irks you about something on a date i mean that's you i mean first me
not not not willing to pay not willing to pay or not even, it's always, I think it's cool.
It's cool for the guy to pay.
You know, it's traditional.
But seeing a woman willing to fit the bill for the first time, it says a lot.
It says a lot.
I guess it's refreshing damn near almost because it's always seen one way.
The guy does this, the guy does that.
The guy does this, the guy does that.
And it's always the guy, the guy, the guy.
But to see a woman say, nah, I got it.
That's one of the dopest feelings in the world.
I'm old fashioned.
I'm going to grab the first one.
I'm probably going to grab the first hundred of them
if we go out that many times.
That's just the way I do things. I'm go out that many times, um, that's just,
that's just the way,
that's just the way I do things. I'm cool with it.
It ain't,
it ain't no big,
I mean,
I mean,
I have,
I had women to,
to pay.
Sure.
Yeah.
I mean,
but I mean,
I mean,
how much could a,
can a burger and fries be,
or a chicken sandwich and fries?
I mean,
I'm very simplistic in my,
in my,
in my taste buds.
Right.
But,
nah,
you were obviously
ordering lobster
on the first day.
That ain't,
you know.
Because,
hey,
we'll come with lobsters.
Yeah.
Man,
Ocho,

with you,
Ocho,

Everybody knows.
You know, I used to, you know, I had an amateur porn career before I played football.

I'm a little different in that area.
And if you look at my bio on Instagrams, if you look at my bio on Instagrams,
yeah, if you look at my bio on Instagram,
it tells you about my experience
in that field, in that area.
A lot of people don't know,
but, you know, it is.
There's nothing to be proud about, though.
Nothing to be proud of.
But, you know, sometimes you got to do

I'm going to get an Uncle Ocho teardrop.
Okay.
You know what, Ocho?
I'm the last of a dying breed.
You got no tattoos?
I got no tattoos,

And I wanted to get a tattoo.
Go get one, Coach. my sister found a book notebook everybody
knows how i feel about my grandmother and she had wrote her name in the book and i was like libby
what you think she said shannon that'll be great and then i called her back i said libby
you know granny would be so upset she said shannon when you left i thought about it she

know anything she hated tattoos she said boy don't mark you she always used to always say boy
don't mark your body up right and i was like i I understand. That's the only reason.
I wanted an earring. I remember all my
friends in high school started getting, like middle school
and like freshman in high school
started getting earrings. And I was like,
I asked my mom, I said, Mom, I want an earring.
She said, when you get 18,
you can get whatever you can get 10 of them.
Hell, I turned 18. I ain't want it no more.
I wanted it then.
I ain't want it when I was 18. I want it when I was 14. So I'm glad I didn't wanted no more I wanted it then I ain't I ain't wanted when I was 18 I
wanted when I was 14 so I'm glad I'm glad I didn't you know my brother my brother don't have any
tattoos don't have any earrings well he can't grow no he can't grow no he can't grow no hair on his
head so I know he ain't got no facial hair but I got I got my ears pierced but I ain't got no
earrings I mean obviously I got 40 44 45 45 tattoos now you know what I did, obviously I got 40, 44, 45, 45 tattoos now. You know what I did?
I thought about getting me one of
them old Suge Knights. You remember one of them old Suge
Knights? One of them old Cameron Garnett.
Yeah, yeah.
The thing you have to have on welder's mask
to look at it.
Yeah, that ain't your
style though. That ain't my style? I wouldn't look
good with that on show? It wouldn't look right.
I mean, it might look good to you, but I'm just
telling you, for you and the way you carry yourself, that ain show? It wouldn't look right. I mean, it might look good to you, but I'm just telling you,
for you and the way you carry yourself,
that ain't you.
That ain't you.
What about I'll get me a tattoo?
I'll get me a tattoo.
There you go.
Get grandma my name.
You should do that.
You should treat her,
matter of fact, Christmas,
you should do that.
Man, my grandma,
my grandma come up out that grave
to my boy.
Because you know, old people, old people really
never called you by your name.
They call you boy. They call you son.
It wasn't a certain disrespect. That's just
what they call you. Maybe with them boys.
Hey, the boy that boy
called, you know, that's my grandfather.
He's already referred to as boy, boy, boy.
So,
well, I guess they say this.
It's facial hair.
That's all I got.
Yeah, that'll count.
Y'all want me to shave it off?
I've had it so long, it's like.
It's a part of you.
It is.
You know what I just thought about?
We talk about grandmas.
Hey.
Ocho.
They say tattoo for me and your son.
There we go go There you go
That's a good one
Man, I done gone 55 years
Ain't got not one
Ain't got one tattoo
You can get one
You can get one
Ain't got to be that

Ain't nobody going to see that
Put it on your ankle
What dude you know
Got an ankle tattoo?
You don't want nobody to see it I'm just saying Put it on your ankle Just What dude you know got an ankle tattoo? You don't want nobody to see it.
I'm just saying, put it on your ankle.
Just the fact that you get it.
If they get us to a million subs, you got to get a tattoo.
If we get to a million subs before January, you got to get one.
I can't do that.
You do.
You can.
I can't.
You can.
You know what I wanted to ask you?
I just thought about you talking about your grandma. I just thought about you were talking about your grandma
and I just thought about
my grandma and my mama right
and I go visit them sometime
do you ever
I always think about how much
all the times
they said I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
and how they felt about me
when they were here
and like
I'm like damn
everybody passed away
grandma passed away in 2018.
My mama passed away in 2021.
We in 2023.
And I'm still waiting on the sign,
like some kind of sign,
like talk to me.
I go to the graveyard,
I go to the grave site and I,
and I show up playing my little gospel.
All right,
ladies.
Now I'm here now.
Now you can talk to me.
Give me some,
I ain't going to tell nobody.
I ain't going to tell nobody. I'm all right. I'm listening. now now you can talk to me give me something i ain't gonna tell nobody i ain't gonna tell nobody i'm all right i'm listening you know just yeah nothing and i
still haven't gotten a sign do you think i hate to bring this up do you think there's life after
death or it because i i'm trying to understand how can you love me so much and leave this earth and then not give me any
type of inclination?
Yeah.
Like no,
like no,
nothing.
Um,
none of that.
And that,
that's bothered me for a while,
especially my mama.
I do come back and cuss me out or something.
I mean,
um,
my sister is probably more spiritual than I am.
And she said that granny has come to her.
Uh, she hasn't. I mean, I think about it all the time, but I, I, is probably more spiritual than I am. And she said that granny has come to her.
She hasn't.
I mean, I think about it all the time.
But honestly, Ocho, in my 44 years,
I don't think my grandmother ever told me she loved me.
She showed me she loved me.
Okay, okay, okay.
And I remember the real last conversation I had with my grandmother.
And it was, they was doing this special.
It was 2011, Mike Cliss, right?
For the local Denver paper.
And he was coming down
because I was going into the Hall of Fame
and then he was going to do a story.
And so I was showing him all around
and showed him to the, took him to the old house.
I took him where, you know, the old schools were.
He met my coach, my high school coach, Coach Hall,
the one that was on first take.
And so my grandmother was in the nursing home at that time.
And after we had been gone for like two hours, I come back and she's crying.
So I'm going to the room and he coming up.
I stop him.
I do it like this.
So I go sit on the bed
and she's
crying uncontrollably.
I remember like yesterday
with Joe. And I said, Granny, what's wrong?
And I knew something was wrong.
She's just crying.
I said, Granny,
I got it.
I said, Libby, Spanky, Mama, I got them.
You can go.
Let go, Granny.
I got them.
Your baby going to hold it down so you don't have to worry no more.
You and Papa did your job.
Now go rest. Man, Ocho,
this was
like, this was like on my birthday.
Like, six days later.
She tell Libby and Mama,
y'all going home. I don't know where y'all staying.
I want to go to sleep.
This was like, because Libby normally stays
till about 5,
36 o'clock,
eat,
get a change,
get everything,
get her situated.
Then she would leave.
My sister went up there
every day to the nurse home.
Every day for two years,
every day.
She said,
why don't y'all go?
My mom was up there at the time.
She said,
why don't y'all go on home?
I mean,
I can't get no rest
with y'all live here.
They leave probably about 4.30.
People call it 4.45.
Miss Mary gone.
She didn't want them to see her.
But she couldn't go
until her baby told her,
I got it, Granny.
Once I told my Granny that
I had it, that I got my
brother, I got my sister, I got my
mom, because that's all she was worried about.
Right.
She knew I was,
she had,
Hey,
I'm a baby.
She,
I was,
I was built.
She raised three the hard way.
She raised her nine and gave my mom three,
everything but life.
She needed to hear me say it.
Great.
I got it.
So now I got it. So now, I held
everything.
My mom,
I got it. My brother,
bro, whatever you want to do,
you ain't got to do nothing.
And people are like, well, what's your brother do?
I say, he don't do nothing, but he don't do
that before 12 o'clock because I got it.
My sister, I got him.
That's so, yeah, Ocho, I just, but see, people like you, you have to understand, like, the relationship, because I slept in the bed with my grandmother since I was 15.
Even when my grandfather died, I didn't go sleep, I didn't sleep in the bed with my brother i slept
with my granny right and i told her i said i'm gonna sleep with you and had my brother like i
said i'm gonna sleep with you i'm gonna sleep in the bed with you granny till i get grown i said
i might get me a wife and we sleep in the bed with you together so but you're gonna get your
rusty tail out of this bed right but the relationship and what she like what she instilled
in me the values that's how that's why i think the way i think right like my sister my brother
my mom i got everything my kids and i heard some i said uh i was talking to somebody i think you
the other night and uh like my kids like like my daughter's going to get married.
And I said, you know, my daughter's going to get married.
She's probably going to head start on a house.
My youngest daughter, she's going to probably want money to pay off those student loans.
And they said, well, why she got student loans?
Because she's not going to drag her feet on my dime.
Make her think she got to pay for them.
And she'll get her ass up out of school
I like that
ain't no free ride now
hey I'm gonna give you every
opportunity I'm gonna give you every
tool that you need
to succeed but I need to
see you trying to get it
because I'm not gonna hand it to you
the handouts stopped when you were 18. That's
when the handouts stopped. I want to see
you work. I tell you
if they need something,
okay. Okay, what happened?
Why? Why do you need this
money?
Okay.
But they know
they, hey,
we got responsibilities over here.
Ain't no handout.
Show me, show me what you're doing.
Hey, go to school.
You stay out of trouble.
Daddy got you, but I need to see you working towards something.
Cause you know, I'm going to give my kids just enough so they can't do nothing.
I like that. I like that. I mean,
well, obviously,
I would say I'm exactly the same with mine.
Mine aren't, don't

It's like, see,
when I go to the store,
I go to the store,
they're like,
how you going to come out so quick?
Because I know what I was going for.
I don't go to browse.
I don't walk up and down the aisle like,
oh, pick this up,
put it back,
go grab something.
No, I don't do that.
I'm going to the store
for a specific reason.
I'm going to get that item
or get those items
and I'm leaving.
Get out of there.
Yeah, that's why I always go by myself.
Carl, the rule
number one, you never go anywhere with a woman.
Especially when it's time to shop. You never go,
you never go. Ever, ever, ever, ever.
You give her the money to go do what she needs
to do or you go
do it yourself.
Never go with them. I ain't going with you.
I don't want to do nothing because
y'all don't know how to go and come out

So it's carry-on for me. It's carry-on for me, I mean, when I travel, I'm not really going anywhere for more than three days. So it's carry on for me.
It's carry on for me also.

I can't remember last.
I'm trying to think the last time we checked the bag.
Super Bowl.
I haven't checked the bag in so long unless even if I have gone for more than three days, I got a problem.
You know, I recycle the same outfit
and just have and change my underwear, my socks,
and take a shower and change my undergarments
and wear the same thing.
If I'm going somewhere for three days,
I wear the same goddamn outfit three days in a row
and don't even care.
Yeah, most of the time, if I'm going somewhere,
my sister's going with me, she's going to take my bag.
She'll normally go before me and she'll take it
because I hate checking.
I hate going down there waiting. So,
she'll handle all that. So, I'm
team carry on.
And if you with me and you check a bag,
well, you better get over.
You getting left? Oh, absolutely.
Oh, absolutely.

What, you waiting?
Nah.

I've learned.
I've learned,
you know what?
Oh,
Joe,
I used to be accountability.
Oh,
I used to beat myself up and stuff would linger and linger and linger and i would carry bricks
from a past relationship and build the same damn house in a new relationship
so i had to learn to say shannon forgive yourself bro yeah you was wrong for what you did but you
didn't kill nobody bro right that was the hardest thing for me to do because I hate letting people down. I hate, you know,
I hate when people have
faith and confidence in me and to break
that. Right. But
human error is inevitable. You can't
wear yourself down too much now. Human
error is inevitable.
It took me a while, but I got over it.
Okay. Okay.

Sometimes life is like a boomerang, baby.
It's going to come back to you.

Yeah, all right.
You say that now.
She's going to watch this too she's gonna talk about

she might be watching that
huh
she might be watching that
I don't know if she's watching now

one of her friends
will get it to her

mmm

we're trying hard
not to look back

boy

those funny and entertaining
moments with. It's the best.
He was scared to look back. That was hilarious.
Oh, yeah, he was.
He looked at the jumper and said,
good Lord have mercy.
It's right here behind my head.
All I got to do is do this.
And guess what?
He could only see out of one eye because she was
going to close the one closer to her.
So I already know how that was going to end.
I already know how that was going to end, Ocho.
Nah.
But you're right.
It takes a special type of woman
to allow her man to see like,
okay, baby, she's fine.
She look good.
She's nice.
Yeah.
And the funny thing is,
it's funny, it's even better when you're with a woman
that's very secure
and she notice it before you do
and then tap you to look.
Man, boy, turn around.
Man, look at this.
Look at this.
Yeah, man.
That's a beautiful thing.
Yeah.
That's a beautiful thing.
But you know,
you know,
24,
I say 2023
was going to be 23.
23 didn't start off good.
The middle of the year, we've got a bad.
And the thing was, you know, my sister said, hey.
I said, look at me.
She said, Shannon, you're going to be okay.
So, you know, she the boy.
My sister is really, really into the church.
I mean, and she prays all the time.
And I think she's taking over the role of my grandmother of praying for me,
even though I pray for myself and,
and,
and,
and prayers that I don't even know that God is listening to.
He's hearing.
