that are being placed. So thank you again. Ocho, how was your Easter? My Easter was, well, I've been asleep all day. I'm going to start there

because I landed, I was, I went to, I was in Houston yesterday. I had to go out there and take some business meetings and do something else that I really can't. Can't talk about just yet.

Can't talk about just yet. But it's a chat. Y'all going to love this one. You're going to love this one. Me, it made me very happy. You know, it made me tear up a little bit. But I can't talk about it yet. But I'll be able to talk about it later.

I flew back in this morning. My flight was at 5 a.m. I was in Houston maybe less than 24 hours. Flew back this morning at 5 o'clock. I went and watched soccer. You probably didn't see it. Man City played Arsenal today. Watched soccer at Twin Peaks.

And I got home maybe 1 o'clock. Do you know? I promise you not. My phone rang at 9.30 to go over today's running show and that's when I woke up. Wow. That's when I woke up. I'm not sure why my body's that tired

where I had to sleep that many hours and that long, but that lets me know I'm rejuvenated, I'm re-energized in today's show. Well, tonight's going to be crazy. And one more thing before we keep going, I want to thank Ash and everybody that's a part of your team.

Because they got me my goddamn plaque. Yeah. I got my plaque chat. I appreciate y'all again for this milestone, for this achievement in such a short amount of time. I love y'all. I appreciate it.

And the next goal is to hit 10 million. We're going to hit 10 million and get that goddamn diamond. Diamond. That's it. We're going to get that diamond, baby. That would really be nice if they had something in between,

like five. But damn, they go from one mil to 10 mil. That's okay. That's okay. We're going to get there. We're going to get there. They want you to work

that much harder to get to that goddamn 10 million. We're going to get there. All right. So thank you guys for helping us get, what is that? Platinum status? That's platinum status.

What is that? No, diamond. So what status? I mean, gold. And so silver was 100,000. Silver's 100,000. So thank you for helping us reach gold status. Nightcap, that was greatly, that was a quick turnaround in order to do that.

So we greatly appreciate that. Ocho, it's time for our first segment of the night, and it's called a News Cap. News Cap. The Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott are open to a possible reunion. Dallas reportedly likes the way Zeke finished the 2023 season in New England, where he played in all 17 regular season games and saw a significant increase in his workload in the final five weeks of the year after Ramondre Stevenson was sidelined with a high ankle sprain. Zeke turns 29 on July 22nd do you like oh Joe the possibility of a reunion between one

Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys yeah I like I like a reunion I like a reunion between between the two I think the version of Ezekiel Elliott that we saw in New England was a healthy Zeke his knee wasn't bothering him if you understand on the back end of everything when he was in Dallas obviously him being injured his knee bothered him a little bit. Production going down a little bit, it kind of affected him. And the price tag based on the production, it just didn't match. So we understand that was a business decision. That was a business decision.

That's all that was. There was nothing wrong with him. But now that he's a little bit healthy, we got to see a version of the Ezekiel Elliott that we're used to seeing on the back end of the season with the Patriots. Now that's the Zeke you can get when he's healthy and it's not going to be no different. He's only 29. He's only 29 so it's not going to be any different if things are to work out and he comes back to Dallas.

It would be a great reunion. A reunion that I welcome and that I like and take some of the pressure off of that. Well, I think the thing is that you have to look at Zeke, what he is now. He's more of a plowback than a racehorse. He's going to get you to third and shorts. He's going to get you where the Cowboys struggle with third and short,

fourth and short, and in the goal line situation because you're asking an awful lot to ask Zach to put the ball in the tight windows on the goal line as as opposed to handing it to Zeke, and Zeke plowed his way into the end zone. Those third downs, those third and ones, those third and shorts, those fourth and ones, fourth and shorts, where you struggle to stay on the field, Zeke could do a better job of picking that up.

Plus, you only got Rico Dotto, Dadell, and Deuce Vaughn as your only backs, because remember, Tony Pollard is in Tennessee now. It's not like you got, you know, obviously they might even go into the draft and get a running back, Ocho, because you know, running backs, they're like spare parts. You can just pick those

guys up because it's the easiest position to transition, Ocho, because just run the daylight. Right, unless you get somebody special. Unless you get somebody special. You have some backs that are damn near Swiss Army knives that can do things out the backfield. They can catch out the somebody special. Unless you get somebody special. You have some backs that are damn near Swiss Army knives that can do things out the backfield. They can catch out the backfield. Then you have some that are even that much better that can line up in the slot.

Here, you got your Le'Veon Bell and your Alvin Kamara type that can line up at receiver. Now, those come every so often. Every so often. But the thing is now, unless you're looking at a Derrick Henry, maybe maybe a uh a c-mat those are really uh uh chubb uh chubb's gonna be on on a on a on a uh play uh play restriction

or restriction he's not gonna be able to get take his workload coming off the injury that he came up of and jonathan taylor those are the only guys that's really taking 80% of the workload. All the other guys, they're splitting it. So it is like, why would I play a guy $15, $16 million and he's only doing 40%, 40%, 45% of the reps? Because you got a guy for first and second down. You got a guy for third down. You got a guy for blitz pick.

I mean, it seems like you got a guy that does a lot of different things, whereas when you were in our era, we had guys that basically did it all. Yeah. And so when the guy got tired, he tapped his helmet, the backup would come in. But other than that, they weren't switching off

like they do now. And so I think the thing is is that I think Zeke would be very good. It seemed like to me that probably Mike McCarthy convinced Jerry that Zeke didn't have any any more treads on the tire.

And, you know, Tony Pollard. But you have to look at Tony Pollard's size. He's not going to be an every down back at that size. Ocho, he's just not. You get beat up, man. You get beat up real quick. You know, you get about week seven, week eight. That body take a toll on you with that small frame like that.

Now, he's a good back, but you need, I call it thunder and lightning. You need that exchange of two, change of pace from an offensive perspective when it comes to running the ball and having Ezekiel Elliott, you know, ground and pound and then having Tony Pollard, one who somewhat almost hit his head off the goalpost from anywhere, get you chunk yardage. I'm not saying he's Chris Johnson, not that type of fast, but you got to have that change of pace. And even if they

do bring Ezekiel Elliott back, now we still need another back that can be lightning. But, you know, I'm not sure where they would go. I mean, they got some good players out there, and obviously free agency, when free agency come, well, free agency's up right now. I think everybody they got some good players out there and obviously free agency. When free agency come, it's up right now.

I think everybody kind of got what they wanted for free agency. I think now the draft is April 25th, 25th, and 26th. So I think now they're waiting for the draft. See what production they can get for the lease, huh? Yeah, yeah. And I think the Cowboys

found out, you know, when Zeke was taking that. See, the thing was, Zeke softened the defense up. Zeke done wore him down. And now Tony Pollard come here to crease. Man, if we just giving the ball, no, no, no. You have to understand. He's great in that role.

Right. Zeke has already done worn him down. So now they have a tough time tackling Tony Pollard. Okay, Tony Polluler did you every down bat yeah he didn't give you what he gave you in the past the previous two years did he no no so oh joe you know you get that a lot you see a guy come in and he have five or six carries and he have about 40 40 yards man if they gave him the ball 10 times they gave him the ball 10 times, they gave him the ball 15 times, you extrapolate that, it doesn't work like that. So the Cowboys had to find out

the hard way. There's levels to this. To take that pounding down in and down out, game in and game out, to run the ball, to catch the ball, to pick up the blitzes. That's what Zeke was getting 300 carries a year. Catching the ball out of the backfield for another

50-60 times and he's sensational at picking up the blitz yeah very good very good so I would like to see that I would welcome that I would welcome I would welcome Zeke back for the Cowboys I think it'll be great also Ocho

Dallas police is seeking Rasheed Rice in connection with a major accident. Dallas police are searching for Rasheed Rice after a vehicle registered or leased to him wasn't involved in a six car accident. A Chevrolet Corvette and a Lamborghini was racing in the far left lane when both drivers lost control. The Lamborghini went onto the shoulder, hit the center median, causing a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles. Photos and video showed the occupants of the two vehicles leaving the scene immediately after the crash. Josina Anderson is reporting that Rasheed Rice has retained counsel. A statement from the attorney is expected tomorrow.

Wait, so the photos leaving the crash. There's video of two guys getting out of the car that was involved in the car and they getting out of the car walking away. Wait, so it wasn't it wasn't Mr. Rice, though. So it's free. The Corvette was registered or leased to him. The occupant in the driver's side of the Corvette got out the vehicle and left. The guy that was in the Lamborghini got out and left. Right. We don't know, but he has retained counsel.

Retained counsel? A lawyer. Okay. Damn it. Man, we... There are enough examples for us young folks. No, it's not, Ocho. There are enough examples. We try to tell them, we hate him.

Let that man live his life. Shannon, you done lived your life. Let that man live his life. You see, Ocho, when we try to tell him, we hate him. Let that man live his life. Shannon, you done lived your life. Let that man live his life. You see, Ocho, a wise man will learn from others' mistakes. A fool must learn from his own. Did you not just see Henry Ruggs get 11 years? Yeah. But that ain't enough.

Go ahead, take off, Ocho. Again, listen, there's something about when you're with your friends, you're young, just getting to the NFL, coming off Super Bowl champion, you're feeling invincible, you're on top of the world, then you make mistakes like this. Having fun with your people, at their speed, knowing you ain't supposed to be racing. Well, you know what? It's probably not going to happen to me. There've been other examples of players getting in trouble speeding, having fun, you know you're out having a good time. It's the off season. But come on, young boy. Young boy, you got to be smarter than that. You got to be smarter. Matter of fact, the people around you

got to be smarter than that. Yes. You're the golden ticket. They got to protect you at all times. From yourself. If you got the right people around you, they wouldn't be allowing you to do what you're out there doing. You the golden ticket. You the breadwinner. You the one. So you got to have somebody in your circle. They got to keep order. They got to keep order at all times.

You know? You got to change your friends, one or the other. Oh, Joe, it was reported that a woman was injured in the crash. Oh, whoa. Oh, somebody got hurt? A woman was injured in the crash. Oh, whoa. Somebody got hurt? A woman was injured in the crash.

The man put a four-year-old son in danger and walked away without sympathy. We've only seen footage of three people getting out of the Lamborghini. How the hell you get three people in a Lamborghini? It must have been a Lamborghini truck. Yeah, okay. Okay, yeah, the Urus.

I was going to say, ain't no way. How the hell you get... Who's sitting on somebody lamp in a Lambo, Ojo? Yeah, you right. You right. The footage hadn't surfaced

of who exited the Corvette. But the Corvette is leased or registered to a Rasheed Rice. Yeah. Damn. So, I mean, obviously, he hasn't been spotted at the scene. And the

pictures, obviously, there are cameras everywhere now. So I'm assuming he's still responsible because somebody is driving his car. You going to get an attorney tomorrow? Huh? You going to get an attorney tomorrow? Yeah, because if the car...

Don't do no, no. Don't do no hypotheticals. I'll ask you a simple question. Are you going to retain a lawyer tomorrow? Me? Or are you just speaking hypothetically? Is Ocho Cinco going to retain the services of an attorney tomorrow? No, sir.

Why not? Well, shit, I ain't do shit wrong. See? I ain't do shit wrong. I ain't do nothing wrong. But I'm saying, listen, you know the law better than I do. If someone is driving your car and the car is registered in your name, even if you're not present at the scene, you're still responsible because it's your car, right? Yeah, the insurance company will probably

they'll probably sue your insurance company okay oh and you can't sue the individual well hold on but here's the thing do you have do first of all now you can get insurance where only you can drive or you can have insurance where you can have additional drivers on the policy. Does he have a policy that has additional drivers? Hmm. Wait a minute. Okay. So I'm, I'm assuming him retaining a lawyer has to do for the fact, again, I don't know. I can't say anything because I don't know if he was at the scene or not. I don't know if he's been driving or not for the pictures that have come out. No one has said that he was one of the drivers. Cause obviously it would have been seen clear as day with them, you know, leave, leaving, leaving the scene. day with them, you know, leaving the scene. But I think, you know,

you know what people are going to do. If you're out with your homeboys and y'all get in a fight and everybody fighting, there's only one person that's going to make the news. Yeah, you. They don't know about it.

They didn't say nothing about that Lamborghini who it was blown to or nothing. Yeah. They say the Corvette was registered or leased to Rasheed Wright. He's the name. I just like I said, I think there are enough stories now. Yeah.

Of guys. I mean, because especially with social media. And the thing is, with you and I, we didn't have the social media. We would we probably heard stories. But after the fact. After it had already happened. Right. But for me, once I saw Derrick Thomas, and Derrick Thomas and I,

we had our run in. But prior to that, DT and I were great. I mean, we worked out together. We partied together. We did a lot of stuff together. And we had an incident that was very, very unfortunate. But when he got thrown from that vehicle

because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, I immediately started wearing my seatbelt because somebody that I knew, because a lot of times when you see where people got thrown from the car, nobody I had ever known had gotten into an accident and gotten thrown from the car. That couldn't happen to me.

Well, DT, I know DT. I work out with DT. We hang out. We party. We go to Pro Bowls together. We're on the All-Pro team together. What you mean that happened to somebody I know so close? That means it could happen to me. Let me

fasten my seatbelt. It's different, Unc. I'm telling you. You know the mentality I'm talking about. When you get money, when things are going really well in life, you damn near feel invincible. You do. You feel like you can get away with anything and everything.

People, women that are watching that are in the chat, think about that feeling you had when you got your hair and your nails done. No, Unc, you're laughing. I'm serious. And you got a little money in your pocket and you're getting ready to go somewhere, you came out the shower, you got on a good outfit. Think about that times 10 when it comes to NFL players that are millionaires, you know, that are with friends that are going out places. You kind of lose a sense of self in a sense, especially when you got the wrong people around you allowing you to do some of the things you're doing.

Now, boom, if you got your home, if your homeboys know that the car's in your name, why in the hell are you even speeding on the highway whether the license is present or not?

I can't chance it, Ocho. You can't chance it because you're responsible for that vehicle because it's in your name. You let somebody, it's just like anything. Ocho, you let somebody borrow your gun yeah and they shoot somebody who responsible for that oh joe me okay you let somebody borrow your car and they they they do something to somebody they run a red light or they hit somebody you're gonna be

responsible for that and so and i and i get it, but you know, hey, hey, bro, you need to go rent you a car. I can't let you drive. I can't let you drive mine. Because first of all, if you wreck it, you can't afford to repair it. You can't repair it. And most of the time it's always, most of the time it's childhood friends. Yes. Most of the time

it's people that you grew up with all your life. But again, they got to understand. You got to get to a point. Somebody got to be the common sense. Somebody got to restore order. Got to be the responsible one. Somebody got to be the responsible one because everybody can't turn up. Everybody can't want to have fun.

Everybody can't want to live off, oh, look, my homeboy made it, so we all made it. Somebody got to have the common sense. It can't be turned up all the goddamn time. Yeah. Because, man, don't get me started. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their

struggles, break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small. Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance, you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.

This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all. So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being and climb your personal mountain. Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you. It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please people. Your mountain is that. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures

and your guide on good company. The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.

It's this idea that there are so many stories out there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good 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... I'm Leon Nafok, 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. Right now, Ocho, we've only seen footage of three people exiting the Lamborghini. We have not seen video of anyone exiting the Corvette.

Now, I don't know. Do they have the Corvette like a Tesla that do automatic driving? They can have, you know, because sometimes the Tesla, you can have it go without a driver being in sight. Now, I don't know if they have that feature on the Corvette, but a car registered to him. It could not have been him. But I just wish I wish, like I said, I understand, like you said, Ocho, because like when we come up, we're able to do things that people in our grade or people above us aren't able to do. So you actually think that you are invisible because well, if everybody could do what I do,

why aren't they doing it? Doing it, right. So now, Ocho, guess what happens if I get a little money in my pocket? Boy, it's different. What? It's different. You really, you really... Yes, we've all done some things. And you know, Ocho, I remember I would have done things,

and I sit back, I'm like, what the hell was I thinking? Right, right. I'm Starling Sharp's brother. Forget, now, Ocho, forget me. Right, right. Bro, if this happened, the first thing they're going to say, Green Bay Packer All-Pro Receivers brothers, Shannon Sharp. That's where they're going say green bay packer all pro receivers brothers shannon sharp that's where they're gonna start they're gonna say shannon sharp the brother they're

gonna say green bay packers all pro rod receivers sterling sharp brother shannon was involved in x y and z that's why it's so important the people you keep around you the people you i'm thinking about my day obviously you know i'm from liberty city I think about my day it was structured and they were disciplined for those that didn't play the game of football you know what side of the track they come from so you already know how they moving they have an understanding well that's that's the asset we have to protect that at all times so there's certain shit even if I want to do man and, them boys, they not having that just in general. They thinking the way

I'm not thinking and they ain't even the one that's in the league. Yep. Man, Sharp, go ahead and get your ass home. Go home. That's the type of people

you're supposed to have in your corner. Them the type of people you're supposed to have around you. Them the type of people you let hold your car because you know,

I'm going to let him hold my Corvette. I'm going to let him hold my Lamborghini because I know he's going to be responsible. He ain't going to be your goddamn I-95 going 130 miles an hour

trying to show off. Man. Ocho. Man, T.D., let me tell you. No, hell no. Man, you know, I had them big body Benz. White, big chrome,

22-inch rim sitting on them things. 22? Huh? 22s? Yeah, it was nice. It was nice too. It was nice, Ocho.

Wait, hold on. You had white interior? Nah, I had ash gray. Okay, okay, okay.

All my cars always got, you know, murdered by tint. So TD come to town. TD stayed with me. Yeah. Hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey, let me hold the wheel. Man, you know, that's TD. Oh, he can get it stay with me. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, Sharp. Let me hold the wheel. Man, you know, that's TD. Oh, he can get it. He good.

Yeah. He don't hate. Super Bowl MVP. You know what I'm saying? Oh, he. This joke will go to Nick. He's got my ride back then. Yeah, Sharp. I saw you back then over at the strip joint on Stewart Avenue.

I'm like, T.D. T.D. at a strip club. Back then. I'm like, bro. I said, T.D. My bad, dog. My bad, dog. I'm like, goddamn, you. How you going?

I said, now, come on now. Now, see, you know I don't go to places like that. I figured he going, you know, he done got my whip back then. Yeah. Hold up, he didn't even try to hide. He front and center. Front and center. Girl, you know,

what you call a valet, he done gave the boy a couple of dollars. They got him up front. Hey, because you know you go to valet, hey, you want me to keep you up front? Yeah, put your boy up front. Yeah. They done got me back then. People, hey, man,

shop, I saw you over there down on Nicky's on Stewart. Right. But listen, boy, you know how it feel. Again, that feeling, having money. You got your hair cut.

You got that outfit. And ladies, ladies can attest to this because when they get their hair done when they get their hair and their nails done they got that makeup on

they got them lashes they got the minks minks classic volume hybrid I'm not sure what type of lashes you know some people aren't as fortunate enough I had the money

to put them strips in them stripped lashes from Walgreens yeah but you got the outfit on it's time to go out with your girls and you got

you got a hundred dollars women don't need much no out with your girls. And you got $100. Women don't need much. No. They don't need much because, you know, the men at the club... If you bad, you don't need no money. Man, they feel invincible. If you bad, you don't need no money. Good-looking women ain't bought one drink, ain't buying no drink. At all. At all. After the club, they're going to go get free meals.

Yeah. So I'm just trying to get them to understand that invincible feeling where, yeah. And women, y'all... Think about that times 10 when it comes to some of these young dudes that are going to make

some mistakes. They're going to make some mistakes, but you want to limit those. And the way you can limit those is for one, making the right decisions and then also having

the right people around you. The right people around you can stop you from doing a lot of dumb shit. Well, you know, they done got, excuse me, they done got them bundles. They done went over to that shop. You know, they got them bundles. You know what I'm saying? Them bundles. You know what I'm saying?

Them bundles. You know, good wig. Good wig going to sit you back by four, five, four. One of them front legs going to sit you back by four, six, hundred. And we ain't just getting no any wig. We getting wigs from Arrogant Tate. We getting wigs from Lonzo. Like, I'm talking about that good shit.

That good shit that lasts. So when you take it off, you put it on a little mannequin and you put it on him. Yeah, you put it on the little head. He got his own little head. That wig got his name. Someone got a name that Veronica. You know what I'm saying? Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's some good wigs. Yeah, for sure. Hey, you better not throw that wig up on the dresser. They got about four or five heads up in there. It all up got wig. You go to like, yeah. Who is that? Oh, dude, you don't need to tell me.

That's my man. You know what I'm saying? Hey, but wait a minute. Let me get y'all to me, buddy. You know what I'm saying? Hey, but wait a minute. Let me get y'all to everybody. You know, look. To each his own. I ain't got no problem with no front legs, no bundles, no nothing. But y'all doing too much with the eyelashes.

Y'all got the eyelashes out here looking like Mr. Snuffleupagus. Oh. You remember Mr. Snuffleupagus? They got eyelashes. Sesame Street, long eyelashes. Yeah, yes. Listen, I think ladies. You can't even hold their eyes open, Ocho.

They're trying to hold their eyes open and close down because the lashes so heavy. Listen, I don't know what they do. You know, I'm obviously... There's a side hustle for me

in a way. I don't mean to go off topic, but a way for me to save money. During my dating life, I always found a way to eliminate some of my expenses when I was dating the women. So I'm shifting into this because it goes to the fact that, you know, I do lashes.

I do my kids' lashes. I do their eyebrows, hair. I can do makeup. I can do all this stuff. So when we talk about lashes, and I see women with long lashes that don't fit their face. And I'm like, Mama, like, you don't need to have 18, 19, 21, 21-inch lashes in your face. And I'm like, mama, you don't need to have 18, 19, 21, 21 inch lashes in your face. And you know, you're so petite,

it just don't look right. You look like a caterpillar sometimes. And I think it's more so the look and based on what image you're trying to portray at the time. I don't know what they're trying to portray. I know people that got no thousand lashes.

People got a thousand lashes. Hold up. You heard me? Look who just walked in. Rail! Where my plaque at? That was yours right there. Ocho took it. Nah, shit, shit. Nah. Nah, don't do that. You know what? When we get the diamond,

we're going to get Rail a segment. So when we get the diamond, Rail's going to get a plaque too, Ocho. No, she's not. The show is called Uncle Ocho. The show is called Uncle Ocho. Uncle Ocho featuring Rell. That's right. Child, please.

Ocho, see, that's the thing. I ain't saying you. The thing is, Ocho, look. When you start day nine, you got it got it okay okay what's your monthly upkeep oh hey it you got to ask her that question yes or you could say yourself the trouble fellas this is so easy go to a woman's instagram go to a woman's instagram and look at the image that she's trying for trying to portray can you keep up with the look at the image that she's trying to portray. Can you keep up with the style and the image that she's putting on

in each picture? You look at the person, look at the shoes, look at the outfits. If that ain't in your budget, if that's not in your salary cap and she's a salary cap casualty, stay in your financial lane

and keep it moving. Stay in your lane and keep it moving. It's okay. Okay. Sometimes you can be a cap casualty somewhere and still be too expensive for somebody else somewhere else. Just because you're a cap casualty over here, that don't mean you're affordable over there. Right, right, right.

So I got to look and see, okay, what do I got? Okay, you got lip fillers. Yeah. Are you getting Botox? Right. Okay, how many times a week are you getting acrylics? How many times. Are you getting Botox? Right. Okay. How many times a week are you getting acrylics?

How many times a week you getting nails and fingers and toes? Okay. Price. Hair. How often you getting your hair done?

Is this something that's weekly? Hey, listen, a woman's upkeep is of the utmost importance and it's very expensive. I mean,

you can't. It's very, very expensive. But Ocho, I can't do an upkeep that's more than my mortgage now. Because so many mofos out here, they upkeep more than the mortgage. It depends, especially

when you think about today, mortgage is very, very high, depending on where you live. And you out there in LA, so I already know that mortgage is crazy. Mortgage is higher than Eagle Butt out here. Wait, higher than what? Eagle Butt.

Oh, my goodness. It almost slipped my mind. Where your phone at? Right here. Okay. Stay with me now, real quick. I have a friend of mine that I've known for years. Friend of mine by the name of JB.

Not going to put their business out there like that. I was like, man, you know, Unc's still single. Why, you know, I ain't no sis. I don't know sis, but I will relay the message while we on the show. And you know, if anything, I will do a formal introduction. If at any time you guys happen to be in the same place, you know, so it just one, you know, just check your phone real quick since you got it right in front of you. Just, just look down, just look down and go to, go to your Instagrams, just check your phone real quick since you got it right in front of you. Just look down. Just look down and go to your Instagrams. Go to your Instagrams and, you know, it's on you. I just want to throw that out there because they had no way of getting a hold of you or reaching you. So I had to be the one to breathe.

You see what I mean? You see what I mean? Listen, it's one thing about, I know you like what you see because one thing about God, he is good. All the time. One thing about Jesus, Jesus got the will. So I can see. Yeah, I know.

I see you now. Stay. Yeah. What happened? Nothing. Hey. Boy, she right. Boy, she fat as a pin raised hog.

You know what I'm saying? You don't know nothing about them on pin raised hog, Ocho. When you're going to kill them, what you're going to do, you get them real fat, you put them in a pin. Right. So they can't wander around or nothing. All they do is get them fatter and fatter. Fatter and fatter.

Hey, but yeah, I'm just, I'm just, I'm putting that out there, back there for you. I can tell by your facial expression and the smile on your face, you feel like a kid in Toys R Us again back in the day. But anyway, we can go on with the show. I just had to throw that out there for you real quick. Yeah, but y'all got to come down to Pricey. You know what I'm saying?

Well, she had enough. I mean, I had one old show. She told me what it was going to cost me. I said, baby. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Please don't tell me it's over $2,000 a month. Huh? Don't tell me her upkeep is over $2,000 a month. Huh? Don't tell me her upkeep is over $2,000 a month.

She said she ain't beating me by $7,500. Oh, man. I'm gone. You know what? I'm done. $7,500. We in 2024. What woman?

$7,500. So are we talking about this? Is she an actress? Wait, not even an actress. Who needs $7,500 a month for upkeep? And that's not even including the bills, mortgage, rent, whatever it may be, insurance on your car. But I'm saying, Ocho, she wanted me to take over that. What you mean take over?

Ain't no woman got no $7,500 a month upkeep? No, but that's the upkeep. By the time you do fillers, by the time you do Botox, you do nails. I say, so what are you? I just, so just for my satisfaction, what you going to pay for? That can't be real. I'm just being honest with you. That's impossible.

There's no way someone has $7,500 worth of upkeep just for an appearance. You ain't even add clothes yet. No. You ain't even add clothes yet. Purses. Oh, hell. $7,500? $7,500.

She was fine. Not fine enough to get that kind of bread out of me hell nah but but Ojo you know how much that you know how much that is hey listen I wasn't no math major do the math for me

7500 is 12 months in a year that's over 90 bands and just upkeep that's $95,000 you know what's funny? We sitting here talking about it because I think in my right state of mind when it comes to spending money, but listen, that to certain people,

but that ain't nothing. When you think about it, huh? Oh, yeah, yeah. Think about it. The one percenters, I mean, the big boys, the NBA players, the MLB players, oh, that ain't nothing. They throwing that in the club. You and I, we in the bottom half of the 1%. You talking about the top half of that 1%. Right, right, right. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's scale that on back. We are not in the club. You and I, we're in the bottom half of the 1%. You're talking about the top half of that 1%. Right, right, right. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's scale that on back. We are not in the bottom half of the 1% because once you're 1% of you, you're 1% of no matter what. No, no, no. No, no. There's levels to this. Right. You know, because everybody, look, you can say everybody that's on the football team in the NFL. Right. But everybody ain't a starter.

And then everybody ain't going to the Pro Bowl and being all pro. You feel what I'm saying? I like where you're going with that. I like that. I like the way you put that. I like the way you put that.

But I'm like, hold on. I'm like, hold on. So I just want to know. Okay, you're like, hey, Shannon, you know, I'm short a little bit this month. Hey, you know, blah, blah, blah. Okay, fine, I got you.

But you're going to come off the rip? I say, so just for me, so what are you going to pay for hmm hmm I say oh no I can't do that I say you might

I mean that's a call girl hmm I'm still trying to get over $7,500 a month like how is that even possible I'm still trying to get over $7,500 a month. $7,500 a month. How is that even possible? Can I pay one bill?

I like to play the water bill. Back when I was young, I played the water bill. Yeah. No, you know, in most of the time, what you want to do, this is one of the best ice breaks of all time. Listen, I'm interested in you. I would like to get to know you. If anything,

make your life easier. Just let me have your biggest expense and get that off your shoulders. Let me get that burden off your shoulders. Let me get your biggest expense. And back then, you know,

when you're a little younger, the biggest expense was mortgage, not mortgage because everybody was probably renting back then. Yeah, rent. 50, 100.

I didn't 50, 100. Hey, I go and get them six months right quick. Hey, good. Hey, you pay they rent up in six months? Yeah. Oh, they like, oh, bitch, you won't believe. You know, I want nothing on your mind. I want nothing on your mind.

You won't believe what Sharp did. Yeah. You pay my rent up. Oh, girl, I got the one, bitch. Yeah. But you don't charge anything. What you know, Ocho, I said, what you gonna pay? I said, I ain't gonna pay nothing but the water bill, because all I'm gonna do is wash my

ass over here. That's it. I ain't gonna sleep. I ain't gonna do nothing but wash my ass. So water bill, I don't need the water to be out, because I can't go home from it. That's all I got. Because, you know, hey, the water bill, huh? And that's a good one. The water bill. That's all I got for you, Ocho. But you know, back in the day.

But see, it's back then, Ocho, hey. Hey, I need you to come. I need you to drop everything. Right. Okay, you got to work. You know, hey, you will take these days off. I'll cover that. I'll take care of you.

I'll take care of you. I'll cover that. I remember them days. I remember them days. As a matter of fact, so you don't feel slighted, whatever you make, I'm going to double it them two days. Yeah. Hey, so we all say that. We all use that line, huh?

I want you to take off, so whatever you do, make them a double it. Double it. That work every time. Every time. Why wouldn't it? You getting paid. Who don't like to get paid for not going to work? It's just like paid vacation.

Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. I remember that. I remember those days. I said, baby, I'm going to give you a time. You know, they got PTOs paid, you know, time off. I said, baby, you got CTOs. She told me, what's that?

Choice time off. Come on with you. Come on with me. Come on with me now. Yeah. Use your head and pick right. And no, when you're even younger, you got a little money. Not

nothing like us once you make it. I'm talking about before. When you're in high school, when you're in high school and you got money for nails, you got money to buy sneakers, or you got money to get a hair done. I ain't have nothing. All I can do is take your ID. I don't think, hold on. I went up, I'm

like, we ain't have no money. Everybody knew I was broke. So, you know, they cheated me. I had one, you know, like I said, she did. She did you wrong? No, no, she didn't do me right. She did me right.

Okay, okay. But it just, it wasn't going to work. How you know? You just said she did you right. No, she was right. But it was different time, different era. Oh, so that's like one of those sayings, right time, wrong person. A wrong time.

I mean, I don't know how to say it. It was the right person at the wrong time. You know, I never believed in that. I never believed in that. Because one thing about, you know, that man upstairs, he don't make no mistakes. And if it was the right person, it would have been the right time no matter what. And sometimes you got to make it the right time, even if the timing is off. I'm going to leave it like this here.

It was rural South Georgia. You know, South played by a different set of rules. Oh, especially back then. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to let you go. I'm going to let you go. We done got all off topic. We definitely did.

Hey, guys, I'm sorry. We done got all off topic. We definitely did. We got it. Hey, guys, I'm sorry. We done got off topic. I apologize. We weighing left for you.

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... I'm Leon Nafok, 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. Eagles trade Hassan Reddick to the Jets. Eagles are sending Ed Rusher. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. a 67.5% of the play time this season and has 10 or more sacks. If not, it's a 2023 third. No, 2024. It goes to 24. I mean 26. So no matter what,

no matter what, the pick is not going to happen until 2026. So whether he meets the criteria, the play time, and the sacks, whether it's a second rounder or a third rounder, the pick does not happen until 2026. Redick posted quality numbers in 2023, recording 11 sacks, 38 tackles, 13 for loss, earning a second straight trip to the Pro Bowl.

Interesting move by the Eagles. Now, Fletcher Cox retired. You trade Hassan Reddick. Got it now. You did take Jalen Carter. You have Jordan Davis. Brandon Graham. Brandon Graham is getting on up there in age. He's not a guy that's going to play a lot of snaps.

He just signed back another year, if I'm not mistaken. He's more of a situational guy, so he's probably going to give you somewhere 10, 15 snaps a ball game. I mean, you know, you look at this whole show, other than the Chiefs,

who's won three Super Bowls in five years, everybody else that hadn't won, breaking their teams up. Look at what Buffalo, the restructuring that Buffalo had to do. Got nothing to show for it. And if you really look at it, but I love the way Kansas City do business. Kansas City's like,

you know what? Reek wanted more money, wanted more than they, considering where they were, they say, you know what? We'll take the draft picks, capital, we'll let you move on. Legereus Sneed, bro, you've been great to us.

You've been great on the field, off the field. You got two Super Bowls. We can't pay you. We're not going to put the tag on you, have you be disgruntled. Hey, go make your money. We'll get something for you. I wish all owners thought like that. I wish all owners thought like that.

I guess they would if they had Pat Mahomes. Again, it's okay to let other people walk when you understand what you have at the helm, but they're telling you what your value is to them when they want to franchise tag you instead of allowing you to go elsewhere and get your true

value. That in itself tells you how valuable you are to that team yeah i mean there is no such thing as free if you got a tag on me free it's not like well if i get a job well okay apple can match what google wants to pay me or they can match what microsoft no that ain't no free free means i'm free right baseball free agency means i am free free i get to go to that and there is we got to stop this notion oh joe where quarterbacks they can get this wire receivers get that and and kickers get this and baseball and basketball free agents like

you get with the market bears yeah a first baseman can make distance just as much as a pitcher an outfielder or catcher can make just as much as a pitcher. An outfielder or a catcher can make just as much as a middle infielder. There ain't no tiers. Okay, quarterbacks are here. Wide receivers are here. DBs are here. D-linemen are here. Linebackers are there. No, you know, free agency needs to be free. I'm free.

Free, yeah. And the better you are at your position, regardless of what it is, the more money you're able to command. That's it. That's how it should be. Yeah, money you're able to command. That's it. That's how it should be. Yeah, that's in any goddamn thing. That's in the corporate world, in sports, in life. Yes.

You get the cream of the crop depending on your skill set. Correct. I mean, just because I'm an... I mean, if I go to one place, I mean, I can make whatever the market bear as a, as a, as a new job entry. So I go, I'm just out of college. I go to this job or it might be a $75,000 or $50,000. But don't go in there and say, well, since you're a rookie, this is all you can make.

I don't like that. But what do you think about the Eagles, the trade, the Eagles? They got a... I like it. I like it in a sense because Redick deserves to have a payday. This would be his third contract or his first?

Well, they paid him to come from, he was at Arizona, if I'm not mistaken. He was at Arizona, and I think they paid. This would be his third. Yeah, he spent two years, if I'm not mistaken, with the Eagles. So, yeah, he's probably looking for a payday. It definitely has to be a tight year this year. Yeah, it's exactly why they probably made the decision to let him go, because they know he was going to be on the books, you know, coming up.

If he was going to have another great season, he's very, very good. But I'm assuming they have something in the chamber. The Eagles do. They have something in the chamber. There's a direction that they want to go in the future. And I think because they have their identity is their offense, I think they were okay saying, maybe we can get the production somewhere else. Maybe not as good as Reddick, but we can get the production maybe through the draft, maybe through free agency.

We might not get as much production as Brother Hassan Reddick, but we'll get it somewhere else. But we don't have to pay that much money whatever that may be well and you got you got jaylen um on a big contract you got uh aj on the contract he's probably gonna want to do something after this season you got davante smith he. He's going to want to, he's going to want to contract. Right. Well, it's always fun to get, well,

it's fun to get tough over there. You just played Landon Donovan. Didn't they, didn't they just do something with the right tackle, Lane Johnson, a couple of years ago, last year? Because I think they did

Lane Johnson and Landon Donovan. Hey. And they just gave Maia Lotto a big payday. They got a lot of money tied up in their offensive line

and rightfully so. Yeah, that's a good thing. That's a good thing. I mean, their identity is their offense, so that's where the money is going to be tied up anyway when you think about it.

Yes. But, uh... going to be tied up anyway when you think about it yes but uh yeah lane jobs on the four-year 80.7 they just did something with landon donovan gave him like what 90 didn't they give landon donovan the guard the all the all pro guard they just gave him and I think a year before last they gave Ma Lata a big payday the left tackle one thing about them paydays and one thing about

they got their market that market go up every year Landon Dixon Landon Dixon not Donovan Dixon Dixon Dixon Dixon

the left guard didn't they just pay him they just get it this year no just recently after the season okay this summer I could have swore. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he got four years. He just got four years, 84 with a maximum value

of 87, 50 million guaranteed with 20 million at the time of signing. Okay. So think about it. You got two guys on $80-plus million contracts. Your right tackle and your left guard. And Ma Lott, they just gave him a contract last year. Your left tackle, he, huh? He on four years, $64 million.

Hmm. Okay. And you got Jalen Hurts, who just got, what, a quarter of a bill. You know, the front end of those contracts are team-friendly, though. You hear me? The front end. The front end of those contracts are team-friendly. Yeah.

It's the back end that's going to hurt you. Yeah. But they'll restructure, throw it into boardable years. So you got your three linemen on big contracts. You got your quarterback on a contract. You got a wide receiver on a contract. And Jalen, Devontae Smith after the season is going to want a contract. Yeah, he's up.

He's up, right? Well, he's on a rookie deal. So normally, you know, between year four and five, they'll do something. They take care of you. Yeah. Right. So. Oh, he was with Carolina. Oh, that's where Redick Oh, he was with Carolina. Oh, that's where Reddick was.

He was with Carolina. Arizona. Okay. Okay. He was with the Eagles for two years, right? Because he's with Arizona, Carolina, and the Eagles. Yeah. Now he's going to play.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, Ocho. LSU beat UCLA to advance to the Elite Eight before the game. A disgusting article in the Los Angeles Times dubbed the LSU women basketball villains and the UCLA Bruin women

as America's sweetheart. The article portrayed Saturday's matchup as good versus evil, right, versus wrong, inclusive versus divisive. And Angel Reeds wanted everyone to know the Tigers aren't villains and they have as they've been made out to be. I think they call them what?

The debutant debutant devils the dirty debutants. And the UCLA women were referred to as cookies and cream. Am I correct? She said we're good. Angel Reed said we're good

villains. Everybody wants to be LSU. Everybody wants to be LSU. You've got to realize we're good villains everybody wants to be LSU everybody wants to be LSU you've got to realize we're not like any regular basketball team we're just changing the game we're doing the unknown me being able to be on the court and off the court I like to model do other things

I can do both Flage can do both Anisha can do both we all can do both that's what people don't believe in. They don't think that we're focused and we're proving them and we prove every single night when we get between those lines, we're focused.

There's the rematch. Angel Reese and Kaitlyn Clark is set to face off. That's the rematch for the National Championship game last year. We all know what happened last year. LSU beat Iowaowa, that's the rematch for the National Championship game last year. We all know what happened last year. LSU beat Iowa for the Women's National Title. Angel Reese took the John title.

John Cena taunt. Kaitlyn Clark used early in March. Madison threw it right at her. Well, we're getting the rematch of 2024 Women's Tournament Elite Eight on Monday night with a chance to go to the Final Four. Who are you taking, Ocho? Oh, that's going to be a good one. That's a good one. But, you know, I got to go to the Final Four. Who are you taking, Ocho? Ooh, that's going to be a good one.

That's a good one. But you know, I got to go with Miss Reese. I love Kaitlyn Clark. I love everything Kaitlyn Clark has done for the game of basketball, obviously because of Kaitlyn Clark, Angel Reese, and there are three or four other girls' names that I can't remember right now off the top of my head that have made the game of college basketball very exciting. They have eyes. They have viewership tuned in.

Viewership is much higher now because of their play and what they're doing. Juju Watkins as well. Ms. Buckers, Paige Buckers, if I said her name right. But it's exciting. I like it. So I'm going to be upset when they leave because someone else has to take that torch, that torch of excitement, that torch of not afraid of being

your true to your authentic and organic self. That's what makes them so exciting. The energy that they bring to the game. The fact that you have journalists writing comments and stuff like this about being the villain and UCLA being the good, whatever they want, whatever perception they want. It's okay to be the villain. It's okay to be the villain it's okay to embrace it it's okay being your true authentic self is exactly why that article was written the way it was can I ask you a question

yes sir why doesn't a predominantly white team ever get labeled as villains or convicts you remember Miami and Notre Dame it was the Catholics versus the convicts. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I remember that. Why don't the other side ever get labeled in a derogatory manner? That's the way. But they could just say, it ain't racism. It don't have anything to do with that. But OK, so I'll just ask. You know, the undertones, they will always say that. The undertones will always be right there in plain sight for you to see.

And it will always be that way. There's nothing we can do about that. We can fight tooth and nail as long as we want to. Oh, about this. It's horrible journalism. It's horrible journalism by that individual, whoever it was that wrote it. And again, head coach came out and said some of the things that she said and how she was disgusted that you're allowed to even publish and write something like that. But it's been going

on for ages for ages and it will always continue to go on and if it if it probably won't be blatant but again just the words it says all all you need to say you know what they mean you know what the undertone of what he's trying to say means no matter how you try to spin it it is what it is but again listen angel reese i know you might see this honey don't ever change don't ever change because you have you have me watching women's college basketball and i don't even watch basketball in general let alone the men's but i'm watching y'all since i love you keep keep going caitlin caitlin clark what you've been able to do for the game well you're nice well you're nice but the thing is baton rouge is 37 white 53 black three percent

of ucla undergraduates are black compared to 17 of lsu this the caitlin clark angel reese is is 79 and i know you were you were just a toddler back then um when larry bird and magic johnson oh yeah and you know you had one segment pulling for Bird, and we know the segment that was pulling for Magic. Yeah. And this is a very similar situation where you got Kaitlyn Clark and you got Angel Reese. And we know one side is pulling for one

and the other side is pulling for the other. That's just the way it is. Mm-hmm. It's just the way it is, Ocho. Yeah. I mean, most of the time, that's just the way it is. It's just the way it is, Ocho. Yeah. I mean, most of the time, there's really no middle ground. You have some people that want to go for both,

but you're always going to pick one side or the other. And obviously, you know what? The person who wrote that from the Washington Post, I wonder if... No, that's the LA Times. I mean, LA Times, I wonder if they're going to get maybe reprimanded or just maybe something's going to be done. Well, they had to go to the editor. I mean, you can't just put an article, so the editor should be reprimanded or just maybe something's going to be done. Well, they had to go to the editor.

Yeah, probably not. So the editor should be reprimanded. You can't... I can write whatever I want to, Ocho. As long as nobody sees it, no harm, no foul. But when it goes to the editor and he signs off on it...

Okay, so that means they're already in agreement with the injury anyway. But again, negativity, controversy, sales. Nobody wants to read the good stuff. means they're already in agreement with the injury anyway but again negativity controversy sales nobody wants to read the good stuff oh yeah yeah we what's gonna move the needle what's gonna get more eyes and viewerships talking about the la times in this article stuff like this right it's controversial ah man okay wait when is the game when is the game because i'm i gotta i gotta make sure it's

tomorrow right yeah already yeah oh check this out yeah this just for an opportunity to go because they play they played saturdays you play saturday sunday uh you play sat if you play sat if you play friday you played again on sunday if you played saturday you play again on monday oh check this out the original version of the article was so offensive that part of it had to be retracted. One day after its publication, the newspaper posted an update online. A previous version of the commentary did not meet the Times editorial standards. It had been updated. So can you just imagine if they had to retract part of it and

they still put the Dirty Debutantes. Yeah. It was probably bad. It was probably bad. They were trying to... Well, how did it get out? Okay. The description of the LSU players, Dirty Debutantes no longer appear in the updated version. But it's already out.

Can you do me a favor? What is the definition of a dirty debutante? Do you know? I've never heard that insult before. Okay, hold on. Dirty debutante. Debutante.

Google search of the phrase mostly returns results from pornographic video sites. A debutante is a ball. It was supposed to be a southern. The debutante is a southern term where they get dressed up. And see, that's why they call LSU because LSU is in the south. So you get dressed up and you go to this ball, you put on your gowns, and you know it's a festive.

So they say they dirty. Ah, okay. Okay. No point for that. No point for that. this ball you put on your gowns and you know it's a festive so they say it'd be dirty ah okay okay no point no no listen did you know what I like angel Reese there's something there's a it factor that she has there's an aura that she had there's an energy that she has in the way she carries herself, the trash talking, the having fun. It draws interest. It draws viewership. It makes people that watch the game of basketball, women's college basketball, people that don't watch it, it makes them want to tune in. She has a certain edge about her that you don't want to take away from her. You know who else has that edge? Like a Steve Smith, a Dennis Rodman, someone that, that continues to get in trouble in NBA, a Draymond Green.

There's something about them where you want to find a way to find that happy medium, because you don't want to take and strip them completely of what makes them them because that's what gives them their edge and makes them who they are. You, you, it's just, I don't know. It's something, it's something about that young lady, man, that's what gives them their edge and makes them who they are. Right. I don't know. There's something about that young lady, man, that's special, man. Right. In her own way, in her own right. And the trash talking, the bravado.

Yeah. It just makes it that much more fucking fun. But it's like a young girl coming of age, right? So it's like where the girls coming of age, and they get dressed up to go to this ball. Wouldn't it be like a bar mitzvah? So what, a bar mitzvah for 13? Yeah, yes, yes, yes, right, yeah.

I mean, obviously being from the South, you hear the term a lot, and, you know, the debutante ball and things like that. But come on, man. Yeah. I mean, you got to understand, for one, understand the undertone in which it was written and then understand that it was cleared to even be published and understanding and what it could do. And knowing that, well, well hell if we put this out think about all the eyes and the viewerships that we're going to get it's all about timing damn mosquito man got damn mosquito in the house you left the door open it's uh it's it's sad i, these are kids. Yeah. I mean, why would you write this about anybody?

Why would you write this about somewhere? These young ladies are brought somewhere between 17 to 21. That's what... Horrible, horrible journalism. Would you write that about your own kid? Horrible. Would you write that about your own kid? Nah. Of course not.

Baby. But you think it's okay to write that about your own kid? Nah. Of course not. Baby. So, would you think it's okay to write that about somebody else's kid? So, obviously, this probably, this might be one of the most watched women's college game in history. Easily. Easily.

I can see this game doing the ease level 4 million, 4 million, 5 million. Hey, matter of fact, you know what? I have a question. Who are the last four? Huh? You got the door open? It's Mosquito or Nat or something here.

Who are the last four teams? Well, South Carolina is in. USC? NC State is in. Okay. The winner of USC, UConn goes, and the winner of LSU, Iowa goes. So two teams have already punched their tickets. Two more teams punched their tickets tomorrow.

Hey, that's going to be big. What time of the game? Come on. Hey, chat, we got to watch the game as a family. As a family, I'm going to get on and turn the game on, and y'all come in and we'll talk the whole time during the game. Excuse me.
