You're going to be all right.
Come on.
Come on, man.
I bought my first house, though.
I need every dollar.
Oh, did you?
Yeah, man.
I just bought my first house.
Right.
Southern California.
So you know they're going to charge you $8 million for one and a half bedroom, zero bath.
Congratulations.
Tony, did you
always want to be a comedian?
Were you a class clown? Were you funny
always? When did you decide to say,
you know what, I'm going to be a stand-up?
You know what, man?
I was always funny and didn't realize
it because I'm the youngest of three boys.
So I'm trying to crack jokes at the house, but my brothers would never laugh.
They gave me nothing.
So I would go to school.
I would go to school thinking I wasn't funny.
So I'm making the kids laugh, but it didn't even register.
Because I was like, man, I ain't funny at home, though.
And then, you know, when we young and we teens and we in the girls, you don't want to be funny.
You trying to be all funny.
You know what I'm saying?
You got the Jodeci boots on.
You just like, yeah, they girl.
They'd be like, you funny.
I'd be like, no, no.
I ain't trying to be funny.
You know what I'm saying?
And so I never really paid attention to my funny until I got to college.
And then that's when it clicked.
But you know women like guys that are funny.
But Tony, you know women like guys that are funny.
One of the things that they say are sense of humor.
Laughing right up out the drawer.
I'll find that out later.
Mm-hmm.
I'll find that out later.
But let me ask you this.
When did you get into the voiceoverover because that's kind of how i stumbled
upon you you were doing voiceover cats dogs uh uh uh i forget what's the uh scotty scotty
and
how did you get into the voiceover you know what it was uh we always had pets growing up so you know i never
lived without a animal in the house somewhere until i went to college and so i was always
wondering what they was thinking about just looking at cats and dogs and like what y'all
thinking about and so i did this uh i did two videos it was one of this uh goat in brazil
just harassing the hell out of everybody, man.
He just crammed...
Oh, real?
Oh, Cramilton?
Cramilton, man.
He just...
He knocked this lady over.
He had grocery bags
and this dude tried to save him.
So that was the very first one I did.
And then I did this second one.
This raccoon was eating out of a cat food dish
and the cats was surrounding him,
looking at him like he crazy.
Like, yo, man,
who's this man right here? And he them looking at him like he crazy like yo man who's the man
right here
and he's looking
at them
and then he dip off
and then come back
for one last scoop
and then he run off
yeah
and so
that's the one
that went viral
and stuff
I was like
let me just do
these for real
and I just kept
doing them
ever since
live
hey you
you had a comedy
special
scaredy cat
can you walk us
through
the creative process
and the prep you had
behind the special and how everything came about okay so uh i started doing stand-up in 2008
so um really my voice though was just a vehicle to get you to come to me live so um i've been
doing stand-up since then so you know i'm just doing when i started doing stand-up
i'm doing everything i can get my hands on man every every show every competition every bringer
show i'm just doing whatever and so um i'm just accumulating all this material i'm getting up
every night dog i'm like doing multiple stages a night and so by the time i started scaredy cat
and i met these cats and i I still work with Brennan and Tony
at Transit Pictures,
and they was like,
yo, let us shoot you a special.
And I was like, all right, you know.
And so they put it together
because they do dynamite work.
And so we went to New Mexico State.
That's where I went to college.
And we shot the special there.
You know, low budget,
guerrilla style, independent.
Just shot that movie.
So that's about years worth of material
that we just culminated right there.
Tony,
who is your inspiration?
When you grow up, when you like,
okay, take a little bit of this,
take a little bit of that.
Who are some of your inspirations in the comedic space?
Well, when I was growing up, I'm 47.
So, you know, Delirious was the first time. Hey, hey, hey.
It just blew my head in.
What you know about that?
Man, come on, man.
Man, anybody that knows that was around at that time that special
just blew everybody's
head off
and so
that's when I first
took in a comedy
special for real
and then
as time went on
you know
I was called Raw
but then I started
watching like comedy
and I was like
Damon Wayans
Stenberg
and Jerry Steinfeld
are my three influences
with a sprinkler
Bernie Mac
so those
those are like,
those are my influences right there.
And so I feel like I'm a combination
of those three that I mentioned.
And because I feel,
my mom don't know like a lot of customs,
so we can watch them dad together.
Right.
You know, that's what I was about to ask you
because I don't hear a lot of,
I don't hear a lot of cursing in your comedy.
Yeah.
I try to keep it PG-13 for the most part. Like I don't want to, I don't want a lot of cursing in your comedy. Yeah. I try to keep it PG-13 for the most part.
Like, I don't want to get too clean
because I don't want to get stuck in that box.
But, you know,
so I try to keep it PG-13
so my mom won't cringe up.
So, but yeah,
Stenbad, Damon Wayans,
the way he would just, like,
storytell it through the character act out.
Yes.
And then the way Seinfeld like storytell and do the character act out. Yes. And then the way
Seinfeld
just
just
details
every like little
basic
human experience
that we have
talking about socks
for like 15 minutes
talking about toothpaste
talking about cereal
I could do that type of stuff too.
So
those are my three influences
right there.
I don't think people understand
how difficult
how difficult stand-up comedy is.
I think they think people are funny, just stand on stage in front of a crowd, and it just works.
Not understanding that the material has to hit, you have to engage with the crowd, you have to have stage presence.
There's so many factors and variables that go in for a comedian to be able to stand up in front of people,
have said material, remember said material, and the delivery to be on point yes so my question is
how different is your approach when it comes to doing stand-up versus the content you put
on social media or do you just approach both the same way well uh the way i write is like
i think of a premise like i'll be, I'll be at the grocery store tonight.
And I'll be like, man, look at this lady right here.
And then next time I get on stage, I'll be like, man, I was at Whole Foods and seen this lady right here.
And so I write it in real time like that.
I keep the premise in mind.
All right, I'm going to say this.
And then I start, I keep doing it the more I go up.
And then I edit.
Okay. And do it like that and so uh because like the way my mind works i'll forget it if i don't if i don't like
write it down or do it right yep and so uh that's my approach to like stand up my voiceovers and
like the content it'd be in the moment man like when people people used to send
me before i kind of stopped doing voiceovers because instagram keep pulling them off my page
and i want to get my page deleted but people would send me videos all day long they still do
and so they'd be like hey man hey so man did and so i'll look at the video maybe once, twice, and then I'll just think of the whole scenario.
Like I got a voiceover where it's these two cats.
It's one outside the window and one inside.
Yeah, hey, Curtis.
Let me holler at you right quick.
Yeah.
Because the one outside looks like he's been about that long.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He want Curtis to come outside so they can give him these tippity-pack. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He want Curtis
to come outside
so he can give him
these hibbity pats.
Yeah, real.
And so,
when I'm looking at that,
I'm like,
oh, I got the conversation
right here.
He's like,
Curtis, man,
why don't you step outside?
Let me holler at you.
And then,
and then he disappeared
for a little bit.
He fell, he fell,
he fell.
I'm hurt.
I'm hurt.
Help me, man. I'm scared. I'm hurt. Help me, man.
I fell.
Then you come back.
Why you ain't help me?
Help me.
You told me, Scotty,
you freaking me out.
You freaking me out, Scotty.
You freaking me out.
Yeah, man.
And so,
and I like production value, too.
So, like,
if I do a voiceover
of a giraffe
running from a lion,
I'll be outside running when i
record it so you get to think like it's like it's really like that's what's really happening
yeah like you can hear me running outside and be like oh man it's not like he's really running so
some people appreciate those little nuances right give me tony give me a Mount Rushmore comedian. Okay.
I'm going to give you... Top four.
Okay, I'm going to give you two of the ones I just named.
I'm going to give you Stembad.
Okay.
And this is my personal one.
I can give you a comedy Mount Rushmore,
or I can give you my personal one.
Hey, I want yours.
Who are your Mount Rushmore comedians?
Tony Baker, Mount Rushmore.
Gotcha.
Damon Wayne
I feel like
I feel like
his HBO specials
are underrated
we know
we know Damon
is the legend
yeah
but I feel like
his comedy specials
don't get talked about
enough man
it's crazy
so I'm gonna give you
Damon Wayne
I'm gonna give you
Sinbad as well
I feel like
Sinbad don't get
talked about enough
to be that funny and that
clean and that
consistent is crazy. And his crowd
work is bananas.
Got them two on there.
I'm going to give
you
Dang, man.
Because I want
to throw Eddie on there
but he only got two special
but they was monumental
Eddie
yeah
Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy
oh Murphy
okay okay okay
he only got two of those
I'ma be like
I'ma slide him off
okay
I'ma put
I'ma put him on the legendary
Mount Rushmore
but since he only got two
I'ma slide him off
and then
I wanna put George Carlin
on there because yeah I love Carlin I want to put George Carlin on there because, yeah,
I love Carlin. That's my boy.
George Carlin, man. George Carlin,
man, just, I can listen to him all day
and the way he breaks something down is just...
Hey, I got all his specials.
All of them. Oh, man.
That dude was crazy, man.
You got to...
There are very few comedians
that you go and see where you have to think.
He makes you think.
He forces you to think.
Yeah.
And then not only that, not only thinking, you're going to walk away having learned stuff.
Yes.
He's very socially conscious.
Yes.
He's very socially conscious.
He's going to talk about things in real life that you're dealing with.
And you think like, damn, he put that in perspective.
You know who I think one of the greatest storytellers, especially of this generation?
Chappelle. Who that? Chappelle. Oh, yeah.
And he he could take the way he could diffuse our audience and talk about things that you shouldn't be talking about.
And before you know it, his SNL, when he did SNL a couple of years ago,
it might have been the greatest monologue in Saturday Night Live history.
If you haven't seen it, go back and look at his monologue.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know what's dope about Smith-Pell?
The way his comedy transformed.
If you go back and look at the Killing Them Softly or Early Specials,
it was more rapid fire, more jokes.
But he developed into this monumental storyteller where he's just listening.
He's just like, man, this dude.
Breaking it all the way down to where the jokes sneak up on him.
It's like, I don't
know if that's made it more
comfortable in his approach
to where he could just be like, y'all gonna rock
with me anyways, so let me just sit down.
Take my time.
Yeah, you don't understand, but
his transition is just crazy.
Patrice O'Neal is another dude that I
feel like. Yeah, yeah.
Classic. If he didn't pass away, This transition is just crazy. Patrice O'Neal is another. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Classic.
If he didn't pass away.
Oh, man.
No, no telling.
No telling where he would have went.
What about prior?
What do you think about prior?
You know what I feel about prior? I would put him on the Mount Rushmore of the best comedians that ever exist because when you look at Def Comedy Jam,
it was 27,
35 Richard Pryor's on
that thing. He birthed
so many comedians that
if you were young and didn't catch
Richard Pryor and his Pryor,
you would go back and look at a Richard Pryor special
and be like, yo, this reminds me of
Def Jam. That's because they were
born from him.
Asante Samuel saw the clips of us debating him in prime
and he responded to us, Ocho.
That's your problem, pimp.
You're also brainwashed at Shannon Sharp.
I'm not worried about what everyone perceives to be true.
Like yourself, I stand on facts.
You have yet to talk about the facts.
You can easily be manipulated just like everyone has
because of marketing. I bet you won't debate me. the facts. You can easily be manipulated just like everyone has because of marketing. I bet you won't
debate me. Big facts.
Dana Sharpe, safety has the short
safety has the short middle. Nobody
is in the deep but me and the
receiver. You don't know the truth, pimp.
You just talking out your
with no facts. Let's talk
or you scared like everyone else, bro.
Hey, I didn't know he answered you like, okay, I like that.
I like that.
Hey, listen, we can have a club, Shay Shay, right?
Listen to me now.
Stay with me.
We can have a club, Shay Shay.
DB edition.
A good conversation.
PowerPoint presentation style.
Film up there to support each of your opinions and facts that you might have.
It ain't no opinion.
He's not time.
What are we debating?
Let me finish, baby.
Let me finish.
Listen, I'm giving you the ultimate content right now,
something that's never been done before,
a format that's never been done before.
Two players, actually three because you're a part of it too.
Three players.
You got Prime and Sonny Sanders and you. You're one that loves to been done before. Two players. Actually, three, because you were part of it too. Three players. You got Prime,
Asante, Sanders, and you.
You're one that loves
a breakdown film.
He's also one that loves
a breakdown film.
Now, just picture this.
You think Cat Williams did
a whole bunch of numbers?
What you think you, Asante,
sitting down,
you know,
going over,
okay,
you want to prove it?
Prove it.
Die in the sky, don't lie.
I'm just throwing the idea out there because the format has never been done before.
I've given Coach Time and myself have given Atante Samuel more attention
since he's been retired than he's ever gotten.
After tonight, I'm done with this.
There's nothing to debate.
My bad.
There's no one going to say he's in the realm of time.
He's in the realm of Darrell Rivas.
He's in the realm of Rod Woodson or Charles Woodson or Darrell Green or a male blunt.
He's not.
I don't give a damn what he says about the film.
He played more.
Look, bro, you had an unbelievable career.
Congratulations.
You're just not time.
You're not time.
You're not Rebus.
Hold on.
Did he make an all-decade team?
Because time made all-decade, and he's one of the 100 greatest players of all time.
Let's see his resume.
Let's see his body of work.
I complimented him.
I said,
Ty, don't believe in wasted motion.
The T-step worked well for Asante.
I gave him a compliment.
Let's see his resume.
So he didn't make all decade.
Four-time pro bowler.
One-time all pro.
How many pro bowls did Ty and me?
How many all- did Ty and me? How many all team?
Yes.
Same number of Super Bowls.
But one guy was a defensive player of the year.
One guy as a defensive back swung the balance of power.
How many DBs can say swung the balance of power?
He go to one team
to keep the other team from going.
He go to the other team
and keep that team from going.
Bruh, you had an unbelievable
career. You went to a Pro Bowl.
You an All-Pro. You're not
time. And that's
not a knock.
It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
But I don't know why you're getting mad at me.
I tell you what,
go find a GM,
go find a coach,
go find a player
that says Asante Samuel
is the equivalent or better than time.
That's all you got to do.
Hell, your son won't say you better than time.
And he a junior.
Let's be real, man.
You coming,
I'm the wrong one.
What you doing?
Where you going?
I got that.
I don't know what you're talking about, bro. I don't know what you're talking about bro I don't know what you're talking about
I complimented you
I said you had an outstanding career
I said a T-step served you well
I just said you weren't tired
That's okay
If somebody says you know what Shannon
You had an unbelievable career
Shannon you were the A-pro boy.
You were first-team All-Pro.
You're an All-Decade player.
You're in the Hall of Fame.
But you ain't Gronk.
Okay.
You ain't Travis Kelsey.
Okay.
But you ain't going to go to no other tight end than me talking about you ain't that.
If you want to say Gronk, if you want to say Kelsey, Shannon, you not that.
I ain't finna fight you.
But you ain't going to go no more.
You ain't going to go no more.
Because when I left, every record that a tight end could have, I had it.
Catches, yards, touchdowns, most yards of the game.
Hey, so hold on.
Now that you mention that, when I'm going to come,
when we factor in the numbers and statistics,
does that play any factor in Asante's case?
Or it doesn't matter?
Just curious.
He had more pass breakups and fewer interceptions.
How many pick-fixings did he have?
All I know is when I left the game,
I had every record that a tight end could possibly
have. Ain't nobody had them but me.
Now, they done came along and broke them.
Gonzo broke them and Gates did
this and Gronk and this and that.
But I don't know
why he mad at me.
I gave him a compliment.
I said he had
an outstanding career. I said the
T-step for him served him well.
Mm-hmm.
I like the convo.
I like the dialogue.
I would love, especially for not the casual fan,
but for people that are fans of the game,
I wish we could dive a little bit more.
I'm obviously not here on the show.
I'm just asking you, find a general manager,
find a head coach, find a receiver,
because he talking like he was that.
I guarantee you, when you find somebody
that say he a top 10 cornerback,
if we go back and study history,
top 10 corner.
So we got Time, we got Revis,
we got Mel Blunt, we got Rod Wilson,
we got Daryl Green, we got aneel Williams, we got Mel Blunt.
Okay, that's seven right there.
Where are we going to put him in the list of all time and the history of the NFL if he crack in the top 10?

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.

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me,
an eight-part Audible original.
Guided by his own words,
this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings
and discussions with those who knew him best.
Muhammad had this real sense
of his own personal values and principles,
things he believed in, his own sense of conviction,
those convictions never wavered.
Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali,
and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey,
Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring
to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life
through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson,
Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas.
It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime.
Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible.
That's your homeboy.
I'm what you tell me.
You tell me.
Where would you put him?
No, I'm asking you.
I just named seven guys. Which one of those seven guys are you putting him? No, I ain't asking you. I just named seven guys.
Which one of those seven guys are you putting him in front of?
Oh.
You heard me?
Yeah, I'm listening.
I'm asking you.
Oh, I forgot about Champ Bailey.
You put him in front of Champ?
You ain't answer the question.
Are you putting him in front of Champ?
You heard me?
I'm listening, yeah.
Where would you put him?
I asked you.
I asked you.
Yes.
I'm asking you, where do you rank him?
Based on what you saw.
I just asked this man a simple question. I gave him seven, eight names. He told me where would I rank him? I just asked this man a simple question.
I gave him seven, eight names.
He told me where would I rank him.

You're going to probably bump into him.
Hold on, hold on.
Hey, hold on.
It don't matter who I bump into.

Time it.
Mel Blunt, defensive player of the year.

Rod Wilson, defensive player of the year.
There have been a lot of guys.
But number two, one is at the front of the line.

They're a group.
Look, we go into a room.
And the Hall of Fame, okay.
We go into a room.
We all into a room.
But there are certain guys at certain tables.
We in the room, but there are certain guys at certain tables. We in the room,
but we not at that table.
He not even in the room.
He on the outside.
Hey, y'all know I played, right?
Yeah, but this for big dog.
Keep it a stack.
So I will chat.
Y'all tell me

Who?
Hold on. I'm trying to see
I'm trying to see
What the chat talking about
No I want you to see
What the chat talking about
You played against it
What you talking about
You played against
Charles Woodson
You played against
Pat Peay
You played against Sherm
I ain't playing against Sherm
But you know
I did my thing everywhere I went.
You hear me?
It was like Halloween.
If I knock on the door, I'm coming to get some candy.
I'm asking you a simple question.
Of the guys that were mentioned, who is he in front of?
I wouldn't say in front of, because you mentioned you know the greats but he has he has
the numbers to be in the room i know i know that much and you base everything off numbers when you
talk about let me finish before you say anything when you talk about mj in comparison to my to
to michael jordan when it comes to the base in any other sport we always bring up the numbers
but all of a sudden the numbers are ignored when it comes to nowasing any other sport. We always bring up the numbers, but all of a sudden the numbers are ignored
when it comes to now talking about the...
And none of the...
Hold on.
In comparison.
He got four Pro Bowls.
All those got...
Hold on.
This dude got four Pro Bowls.
Listen to me.
I'm not finished.
Okay.
But again, now we understand,
but when we do a comparison based on greatness,
you know...
I'll tell you what.
Guess what?
You have a former coach.
Your former coach had three Pro Bowls and 62 picks.
You're taking Dick LeBeau?
Oh, and you know what?
What you know about Dick LeBeau?
Hey, what you know about LeBeau's what?
What you know about Dick?
You just told me numbers.
Yeah, I mean, listen, that's what everything is based off of, right?
No.
Okay, numbers.
Okay, let's go all pros.
Let's go Pro Bowls.
Let's go all decade.
Let's go Defensive Player of the Year.
Right, right.
That's part of numbers also, just not picks.
Okay, okay.
Okay, I got it.
I mean, I look at it like this.
If you get six picks and you give up eight touchdowns,
you're done.
Okay, I see what you're doing.
I thought the job of a corner is to take away more than you give up.
That's a great combo.
I'm just waiting on this man to tell me
who is he better than
than the list I renamed.
Now, we're going to have, guess what?
Let's have the conversation. Hopefully,
Lord spare both of our lives,
we're able to have a conversation another
10 to 15 years.
I'm going to need to see a gold jacket on his back
because all the guys that I've been to,
now, hey, Jalen Ramsey's going to be coming up.
Richard Sherman's going to be coming up. Pat Peay's going to be coming up. Richard Sherman's going to be coming
up. Pat P's going to be coming up.
You see, what he's trying to do, oh,
it's all about marketing. Bro, you played
on the Patriots. Ty Law played
on the Patriots. Ty Law got a red jacket
and a gold jacket. So don't do
that bull job about marketing.
If you, who was on TV more
than the Patriots, Ocho?
Oh, during that 20-year-old?
During that time.
Who?
Yeah.
Oh, so now it's marketing.
Time ain't no marketing, bro.
Yeah, he marketed himself to know how to parlay that.
But that man on the field, you better go check them tapes.
Either you can or you can't.
That's a great conversation, boy.
That's a good one now oh
that's a
Millie Brown
Mike Haynes
Mike Haynes got nine
like nine Pro Bowls
you better go check
that's a great convo
well let me grab me a water
Asante
go ahead bro
Asante you had a great career bro
you're a good career, bro.
You're a good player.
You just said, all I said, you weren't tired.
And you had to get personal.
I don't know why.
I mean, if you wanted to come on nightcap to get your name out there,
you could have did that.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, listen did that. Hey. Hey, listen.
That is a great combo, boy.
You hear me?
What's a great combo?
This one? I like this.
Obviously, it's not me as the individual, but
I'm just saying.
Is he better than Stephon Gilmore?
At some point,
hey,
Chad,
don't y'all want Ocho
to chime in
instead of just talking
about this is a great combo?
He ain't said nothing
about it, man.
I'm not listening to you.
You tell him.
This is nightcap
fucking Ocho.
We don't listen to each other.
We go back and forth.
I've been chiming in
all the time.
No, you ain't saying nothing.
I'm listening to you.
Now listen.
You see what he said, Chad?
He's listening to me.
He addressed Shannon Sharp. He sent a long message to Shannon Sharp
So I'm just listening
Where did he address Shannon Sharp
What was Shannon Sharp speaking on
On what, on him
On Nightcap
Nightcap, Unc and Ocho
Right, so is your job to answer back
I get it
Chat, y'all see, Ocho don't want to chime in he
for florida ocho might bump into it y'all know me i'll give a damn i mean and what is bumping
i haven't what up what you see here's the problem here's the thing with shannon sharp
whatever shannon sharp say on nightcap shannon sharp if he bent bumped into said player shannon
sharp is mad enough to stand on that. Bro, you not Ty.
You not Charles Woodson.
You not Rod Woodson.
You not Darrell Revis.
You not Mel Blunt.
You not Mike Haynes.
You not Daryl Green.
You not.
Facts.
Now, of the 10 guys that I named, find a coach, find a receiver that says
Asante Samuel is better than any of those guys.
See, the way you make it sound,
see, you're being mean.
Ocho.
Ocho.
You hear how you make it sound?
You make it sound like Buddy was trash or something.
I didn't say he was trash, Ocho.
I'm just saying the way you talking,
like you acting like we just sitting here talking about some old bum.
I'm just curious.
Ocho.
Who can I say?
Yeah, I mean, listen, I played the game. Listen, I played the game. Ocho. Who could I say? Yeah, I mean, listen, I played the game.
Listen, I played the game.
Wait, stay with me.
Stay with me.
Stay with me real quick.
I played the game on the other side of the ball.
So I know.
I played against Prime.
I played against Zant.
I have an understanding of both and how good they were.
Hold on.
Great as Prime was and how good they were and what they great as Prime was and how good
Zant was. So it's hard for me
to sit here and say, you know,
the way you doing it when I saw it
with my own eyes.
I understand how great
Prime is, but then I know what that young
boy was doing as well when he was playing.
All I said, I said, he was good. i said he was a very good player had an unbelievable career
he used the technique he used the technique that time doesn't approve of. Two things can be true. Yes, sir.
Okay.
Some guys like to play press and open the gate.
Some guys like to press
and put hands.
Whatever technique works for you.
But he was talking
as if he was the equivalent
because he posted his stats
and time stats
saying, look at our stats.
Right.
So he's posting those stats as if he's the equivalent.
And I said, he's not.
I didn't say he wasn't a good player.
I said he went to Pro Bowls.
I think he was an All-Pro.
I know he won Super Bowls in New England.
That's what I said.
Right.
He took offense that I didn't co-sign him.
I don't need no marketing. I don't need't co-sign him. I don't need no marketing.
I don't need to co-sign.
I think everybody's known.
I didn't have an opportunity to critique time when he played,
when he went back for those two years,
because he was mainly a safety and he didn't start the game.
Okay, that's fine.
But I've never had a problem critiquing
any player. I
critique Tom Brady, Peyton
Manny, you name a
player, Ray Lewis, receiver,
T.O., Randy.
I've never had a
problem critiquing because I'm basing
it on my not intimate knowledge
of the game and film study.
When I was at CBS, I would watch
film.
How many times when I was at CBS
or Fox, you ever heard a guy called
by Shannon Sharp, don't know what the hell he talking about?
No, that ain't what happened.
See what y'all trying to do.
What are you doing? That's not what I said.
Nope, nope. I've never
said,
I've never, see,
the difference is, Skip tried to say I said. I've never seen the differences.
Skip tried to say, I said I was better than Tom Brady.
I said Tom Brady wasn't playing well.
Why would I, as a tight end, compare myself to a quarterback? Okay, right, right, right.
I would need to compare myself to Gronk, to Kelsey, or a tight end.
That's the only way you can get an equivalent.
I said, I said.
Yeah.
Asante had a great career.
Pro Bowls, Super Bowls.
Now, God, like I said, you want to say,
Shelly, you ain't Trav.
You ain't Grump.
You right.
You got me.
Right.
You got me.
But I'm just confused.
Hey.
But look, bro, I gave you 15 minutes of fame.
Fame that you never would have gotten had you not mentioned me or time.
Enjoy it.
Now, go back to your solitary life.
Nobody's going to.
When was the last?
I'll tell you what, Ocho.
When was the last time?
Prior to last night.
When was the last time you heard somebody mention Sante Samuel.
Take your time.
I'm going to go get me some water.
Take your time.
Hey, Chad,
y'all keep going until it's rested.
Hey, anyway,
Chad,
we back.
It's a little upset.
It's a little upset.
Other than that,
it's a great conversation.
I like it. i like the dialogue
i like the back and forth i like players also what we already talk about having a belief having not
not not only belief in what you can do and what you've already done and bringing it to the
forefront bringing to the forefront and supporting what it is you've done in comparison to someone
else who is also great and that's okay now a lot
of people won't see it that way as as you can see it include none one thing i i will always do see
is if you were bad at what you do then i will always come out and say that but i played against
both and i understand how good both were I understand how great crime was obviously catching
him on the tail end of his career and obviously playing against Asante during his prime and
understanding how good he was how much of a student of the game he was and what I'm not going to do is
diminish what I was able to see for years while I was playing and understanding watching film I'm
here and understanding how good he was and how savvy he was technically, you know? So it's different coming from someone that actually played on the opposite side
and understand how good he was.
You know, so it's hard to say, oh, he's not good.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I had to go against this.
I had to go against that for years.
So it's different.
It's different.
You know, especially a lot of people in the
chat of some of the comments on twitter on x whatever it may be their feelings are always
different as well because it's based off who you know and what they've done hey that was good
i just asked you a simple question which oneoud of last night and today, when was the last time you heard somebody mention Asante Sanders?
I'm supposed to know.
I be on nightcap.
Every time a tight end break a record,
who record they sitting there?
The most 150-yard game, the most this, the most that.
Every Sunday in the NFL season when a tight end does something,
who name is up there?
When they have them named, he just
passed this one. Who name is also up there?
Ocho?
Ocho?
Don't worry about Ocho.
Hey, Chad, all I
try to do, I try to, you know, try to go back and forth, but Ocho, you know, Ocho Hey Chad All I try to do I try to you know
Try to go back and forth
But Ocho you know
Ocho's like hey
We did
We did go back and forth
That was a good one though
No you
You laughing
I'm saying for real
That was a good one
I don't
That was a good one
Manny
Manny
Manny Fresh
What's up bro What's up Whatanny Fresh. What's up, bro?
What's up?
What's happening, Chad?
What's up, baby?
What's good?
You good?
Yeah, man, listen.
I just left New Orleans, man, about three days ago.
I'm feeling good.
That's my second home now.
For sure.
I saw you.
I mean, I saw you claiming some wards and all of that, bro.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Every bit of it.
Fresh, when you look back at your career,
not that your career is done,
when you look back at all the people that you've touched
and you've made beats for, what are you most proud of?
Relationships, bro.
Relationships.
Better than the beats or whatever to bring people together and keep them together.
You know, even like right now what's going on with my crew, like for us to get back together as men and go back out there 25, 26 years and, you know, and still getting.
So I always tried to be the mediator for everybody.
You know, even when I was doing a beat with somebody who was beefing with somebody i was like listen bro that's that's foolishness you know put that down
and let's get it when like did you always want to be did you always want to be a producer what
did you always want to be in the music so how did this come about how did you get into and then it
wasn't like you was just like any, you had some of the hottest rappers.
Oh yeah.
The Wayne's and the Juvia's and the hot, you had it all fresh.
Yeah.
So I started out as a DJ and even right now, you know, I'm a DJ.
My dad was a DJ.
So what got me to this was my dad.
You know, I used to have to hook my dad's stuff up.
I used to have to, my dad was a street DJ.
So, you know, like them holding the wall balls.
Right.
What a DJ do. Like, you know, like them holding the wall balls. Right. What a DJ do.
Like, you know, a DJ actually puts you in a good mood.
Like, you know, if your bills do, you're going through something, it's the DJ's job to make you feel good.
Make you forget about that.
Forget about all of that.
And, you know, and that spirit just came on me to be like, you know what, this is what I'm supposed to do.
Yeah. And so outside of Pops, man, growing up,
who were some other musical influences
and how did they shape you or shape the sound?
Your sound was different from everybody else.
How did the sound develop you as a producer?
Growing up in New Orleans, bro, it was music all over.
You know, everywhere you went, there was, you know,
there was somebody playing something.
So I just kind of put all of that together.
And the way I call what I do is gumbo.
I took elements from West Coast, you know, and down south and just made something that was mine.
So, you know, you take a whole bunch of ingredients from everywhere.
You know, when we was early New Orleans, you know, in the 80s, we like West Coast and East Coast songs.
We didn't have our sound yet.
So, you know, and then Miami Bass came,
and then we felt like the 808 is our sound.
The 80s was definitely down south, you know,
and I was like, okay.
And I was like, let me take a little bit of this East Coast,
a little bit of this West Coast,
and mix it with some of this Luke.
You know what I'm saying?
That's a good recipe.
Yeah.
Hey, right now, I'm going to think about the current state in New Orleans sports. You know, your Pelicans, your Saints. Yeah. Hey, right now, I'm going to think about the current state of New Orleans sports.
You know, your Pelicans, your Saints.
Yeah.
How do you feel about the current state of sports in New Orleans?
And what do you think, what is the vibe like?
Obviously, during the season, I'm not able to be there.
I was there for Super Bowl.
Yeah.
That's my second home.
You hear me?
Yeah.
So, what do you, why do you feel right now?
One of the. Especially the yeah so one of the things you know let's just say new orleans is let's just
say it new orleans is a party city so it's got a part on the athlete you know what i mean
there's a city where you know it never shuts down like you know so when you come there you
got to come there with the you know like you got to be focused because you could easily get caught up into nothing close nobody ain't gonna tell you
put that drink down you know what i'm saying and if you're athletes and you're hanging out with
rappers it's just not gonna vibe it ain't gonna go right you feel me so yes that's one of the
things we gotta fix like you know what i'm saying we ain't gonna say no the things we got to fix, like, you know what I'm saying? We ain't going to say no names, but we got a little bit of partying going on right now.
So if we fix that, you're going to see an improvement in our teams, bro.
Okay.
Manny, when you look at it, you look at BG, Juvie, the hard boys, Lil Wayne, big timers.
How soon did you know that, you know what, that youngest one, the smallest one, he going to be him? Oh, bro, Wayne was the first one there one the smallest one yeah he gonna be him oh bro wayne
was the first one there the last one to leave so you know when you when you when you and it was
times where his mom might have took him out the group because he had bad grades or whatever and
immediately he he improved you know because it was something that he was like i gotta figure this out like you know and
he would beg his mom forever to get back into it but just like i said he and he knew like take for
instance back that ass up um wayne knew to hang around for that song to get the last part of it
to do that after you back it up then stop then what what what he was just like nah just this one
of them you know what I'm saying?
And you get that from hanging around,
to be like, I'm going to hang around
because I feel like this is one of those songs.
Right.
So we couldn't get rid of him when we was doing that song.
What about the bling bling?
How did he come up with the bling bling?
It was always a line that was used in a song.
You know, like he would.
And I was like, that's kind of clever, you know, and I always thought like it was something that stood out about it.
It was something about, you know, it was it was bling that, you know, Wayne was the first person that I heard to say bling.
No doubt. You know what I'm saying? But it was something clever about it.
So I just had I don't know, like something just woke me up and was just like bling bling. Every time I come around your city, bling bling. You know, when I wrote the
hook, I was like, it's something special about this. Pinky ring worth about 50. Yeah. I was like,
something special about bling. Yeah. I'm Michael Kasson, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your

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's 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

So when we met, I was like, hey, bro, I heard they had a record out already.

That's my guy right there, number 85, the round-running extraordinaire,
the bingo ring of fame, the pro bowler, the all-pro.

Since you took it there, rose sparks dissolved under your tongue for faster results.
And by results, I mean, you know what I'm saying, Ochocico, a mean one.

So that means you get turned on and you can peek, repeat, and repeat,
three-peek if necessary.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, let young boy live his life, man.

You hear me?
But Ocho, but if you notice, you can't do it.
You got, first of all, you got to cut it down some
because you can't have that much hair and then have that.
He got that thing looking like Carlos Buzer.
Hey, Chad, y'all remember Carlos Buzer went out there
and had that thing slicked down?
Had a nice little beard.
And maybe he didn't realize it.
And maybe because the light, you see the light shining on his forehead.
Maybe it's the light from the camera that's,
that making it look worse
than what it really is.
So if the light
I'm glad it got blown out.
Because you,
can you imagine
had it not got blown out
and this is a closed game
and he's starting to sweat.
Ooh.

especially nothing like that.
Listen, on national television?
Oh, no.
He got that good Beijing.

Oh, and you see him in church.
You ain't going to say nothing to church.
But soon as you get on church ground,

I don't know what he thought that was.
Oh. Oh. No. You see the Joker here in this hair? I don't know what he thought that was. Oh, no.
Hey, Ocho.
You see that? When you start getting them cow legs and
you might as well go ahead and cut it down. It's just a matter
of time. Just let it go?
Yeah, he got them T-tops. That's them T-tops. You know,

You had the T-tops. And like the Camaro.
The Camaro. Yeah, there you go. That's

You can't just, it's too tone.
Yeah.
He got his regular hair and then this thing here jet black.
Well, listen, maybe, maybe, what if it didn't start off that way.
Maybe it got like that at the beginning of the game.
It went like that.
Stress, sweating, and that was the outcome of it.
No, if that game had been close and he started sweating,
that thing would have been all down his forehead.
Hey, you remember Rudy Giuliani?
You remember how he started sweating because he had that rinse in there?
Right, right, right.
He started sweating and that thing was all over his face?
That's exactly what would have happened to him because that's that spray.
That ain't that beige.
I got that color.
You know, I ain't got that rinse.
This here ain't going to sweat.
But he got that spray.
That spray, you get hot and start sweating, that's going to start coming down your face.
Wait, hold on.
Now you just said something.
You said something.
I ain't going to let that go by.
You got the Beijing, too?
I sure do.
For real?
Yep.

Every chance I get,
I'm going to joke
and color the thing up,

You don't want to, you don't want to just, you don't want to let the, think about how you look, though, with the all gray.
No, I don't have the all gray.

All one color
If he'd have had
All that
We'd have still
Probably wouldn't have
Noticed it as much
Right Right But like a lot of times They do that spray To have the edge Edge is crispy one color, if he had had all that, we'd have still, we probably wouldn't have noticed it as much. Right, right.
But like a lot of times, they do that spray
to have the edges crispy.
So what they do, they use that spray
to get them edges crispy. Right.
So it's a little darker than the rest of the
head of the hair, but that's too much.
You got that thing looking like
shoe polish.
Hey,
I don't know if you ever shined shoes on, Cho, but my grandpa used to have me and
my brother shine his shoes, and we had to shine our own shoes.
