The Cowboys opted to shut him down, Ocho.
C.D. has dealt with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder
since November 3rd, lost to the Falcons,
and he's aggravated almost every week.
And more scans this week have shown that the injury had worsened.
But Ocho, you know I didn't say Ocho,
you can't make it any worse.
No.
You know they always tell you about an injury
when they want you to keep on playing Ocho.
Oh, you can't do any more damage to it.
Well, if that's the case,
why keep on hurting then?
Yeah.
If I ain't gonna need no surgery,
if this is worse than it's gonna get,
why you tell me I'm gonna need surgery?
Yeah, I can do more damage.
Man, that car already beat up.
Yeah, well, I can still do some more damage to it.
Let me run into another wall.
But with the Cowboys eliminated from the playoffs,
the team has decided to sit as number one receiver.
And the statement of the Cowboys said he's not expected to need surgery
and should make a full recovery
through the process of treatment and rehabilitation.
He's over a thousand
yards, right? Yes.
Okay, be good. Go ahead and shut that down.
Yes. Go ahead and shut that down.
Get ready for next season.
You know, when you get back ready,
you and Dak get in the lab.
You and Dak get in the lab. Matter of fact, you're
going to be ready for minicamp. Matter of fact, you're going to be ready
for training camp. That's another duo.
Yeah. Y'all need to hit the ground
running. But they weren't
on the level that I thought
they were going to be on, considering what they were
last year. But they couldn't be.
They couldn't be. You know
that chemistry. It ain't like, listen,
that chemistry has to be built back up.
CeeDee Lamb missed all the training
camp.
Yeah, I agree. We're going to get a deal done. i agree we gonna get a deal done we gonna get a deal done
you playing around you playing games man if you serious about actually winning do right by your
team do right by your players have everybody in the building when they need to be there
that why you think why you think why you think um goddamn michael parsons said what he said earlier
he playing the seed right now.
Don't play with me when it's time to
give me my money because I want to be at minicamp.
I want to be at
the off-season program. I want to be at
training camp. I don't want to be holding out
like every player has to do when it's
time to get goddamn paid.
I think they just like the fact that
they got us out here begging, waiting
on that goddamn money.
I think they do it on purpose because the numbers are what they are.
The numbers are what they are.
What are you waiting for to pay these individuals?
Ain't nothing magical going to happen.
Ain't nothing magical going to change about the market.
You know what it is.
You know what is supposed to be paid.
Just get the shit done.
Get it done.
Have your players in there.
Oh, Joe, here's something that came out of nowhere.
Deshaun Jackson is finalizing a deal to become the head coach of Delaware State.
Yeah, you jacked.
Pete Thamel, he did an on-campus interview in recent days,
and the sides are expected to come together in the near future.
Per source, it's always been a dream of Jackson to coach at an HBCU.
That dream could become a reality in the near future.
We saw Mike Vick take that direction.
Eddie George is at Tennessee State.
We saw Coach Prime was at Jackson State.
Eddie Robb was at Grambling.
Michael Vick, Norfolk State.
Yeah, Norfolk. Mike just went to Norfolk. Eddie Robb
was at...
Was it Alabama State or Gramb?
Oh, Eddie Robb Jr. Yeah.
Oh. You know the one that played
the Titans. He played the Titans and the Jags.
Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, he played in the NFL
also. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What do you think, Ocho?
Shit, I like it.
I like it.
I'm about to hit D-Jack, too.
Listen, I just want to intern.
I want to intern.
I don't want to coach.
I ain't never been to Delaware.
I don't know where Delaware at.
If I look at the map right now, I couldn't tell you where Delaware was at.
They know.
We saw you at the Globe.
We saw you at the Globe trying to pick out them countries.
Yeah.
Listen, listen.
I know D-Jack there. And I know if I ask D-Jack, listen, let me come in and intern. globe we saw you on the globe trying to pick out them countries yeah yeah listen listen i know d
jack there and i know if i asked you jack listen let me come in the intern i just want to talk to
the receivers yeah you know d jack there but you can't go you can't go there because you don't
know what delaware is i know but d jack don't give me i got gps i got gps and i'm an intern
all i want to do is i want to diversify my portfolio and have intern at Delaware State on my resume. That's all
I want to do. That's all I want to do. Listen, I got 50 goddamn jobs and to be able to have,
boom, intern at Delaware State as a consultant and assistant to the head football coach,
that would be DJ. That looked good on my resume because you never know what opportunity to go to be presented to me in the future.
I thought you didn't want to go, though.
I'm not coaching.
That's why I said intern.
So what?
Oh, no.
But you said presented you in the future.
What opportunity is going to be presented?
You entered.
No, no, no, no.
That's not what you want to do.
The opportunities I'm speaking of and speaking about isn't going to have anything to do with coaching.
Oh, just have it on my resume based on what it is I want to do.
I might want to enter the corporate world.
I might be the CEO of goddamn Amazon or Google.
Oh, COO.
Or CMO.
Because I talked to Jeff Bezos and we...
What about janitor?
What's that? They'll let you use your head as well as your hands. Listen, I talked to Jeff Bezos and we... What about janitor?
What's that?
They'll let you use your head as well as your hands.
They put a hat on your head and a broom in your hand.
Sweep the floor, Joe.
Wait, listen.
I ain't got no problem doing janitorial services.
You ain't got no problem?
Hey, because my fee is high.
My fee is high.
If you willing to pay my goddamn fee,
I'll sweep any motherfucking thing.
Yeah, I already know.
You cleaned some nasty areas before.
Hey, that's one thing about it. If you don't wipe too good,
I'll finish you with my tongue.
Uh,
Ocho,
Eric B. Enemy,
we just spoke about him the other day.
Eric B. Enemy,
he going back to Kansas City, huh Enemy will join the Washington Huskies coaching staff as an offensive analyst.
Okay.
Is Eric B. Enemy being shut out of the NFL?
No, I wouldn't say he's being shut out.
I wouldn't say he's being shut out, but you just got fired.
You just got fired.
The NFL season is headed into the playoffs.
I don't think any NFL teams want to bring on Eric Viennemi right now.
If there's a team that's going to bring him on,
it would be the Kansas City Chiefs next year.
Andy Reid and Eric Viennemi, I'm sure, like this.
I'm sure Patrick Mahomes also.
If that's the case, why not just wait until the season's over?
I know, but maybe he wants – I don't know.
You can't ask me.
Maybe he wants to not be sitting around on the sideline
or be sitting around at home.
And he just wants to work.
He wants to do something.
But I'm sure if an opportunity is going to present itself,
it would be with the Chiefs.
Probably not anywhere else, just being honest.
Because you know how that coaching thing is,
the coaching thing in general?
The friends always continue to make sure each other have jobs
always
so if Eric B. Enemy is going to get a job
again in the NFL it will probably
be with the Chiefs at some point
there's always room because
they can change the
name or what they identify
you as
they always fill you in some type
of spot
I'm glad I don't want to be a coach because I know I can get me a job identify you as, and always feel you in some type of spot.
Well, I'm glad I don't want to be a coach because I know I can get me a job
because the Shanahan's got too many on that coaching tree.
You got LaFleur.
Yeah.
You got McVay.
You got O'Connell.
You got McDaniel.
And you got Shanahan.
I can get something. I can get me an analyst, I can get something
tight end coach, assistant to the head coach, I can get me a job
I'm good, I ain't trying to put in
no kind of hours, because I know the kind of hours I put in as a player
studying. Oh the coaches is worse now, the coaches is worse
you gotta tell me, I think about some of the teams.
Let's think about the team this year.
The teams that have a losing season.
You know the kind of eye I was coaches put in.
I've seen it.
I've seen Marvin.
I've seen you.
I've seen Bob Raquel sitting there all the time tonight.
I'm like, y'all ain't going home?
Yep.
They got pillows and they got blankets in the office.
Air mattresses.
Yeah, absolutely.
They got a game plan?
They ain't going home.
Nope.
We got a game plan?
Oh my goodness.
And then I think about this.
I think about all the teams
that are having losing seasons,
like the Raiders or like the Giants.
And I'm thinking about the coach staff.
I'm thinking about the hours
that they're putting in.
You're not seeing your family,
not seeing your kids.
You're not seeing your wife.
And not only are you putting
all those hours as a coach, then the goddamn record and the work you're putting in, the, you're not seeing your wife, and not only are you putting all those hours as a coach,
then the goddamn record and the work you're putting
in, the hours you're putting in, is not reflective of it.
You're not getting the goddamn results.
Oh, hell no.
Coach who? Man, I'd rather
play Madden. You got to tell me
nothing. I want no part of it.
That's why I say when I was done with football,
you exhaust all of that. I want no
more parts of football. I'll talk about it.
But as far as like put those kind of hours in to go into wee hours at all time of the night.
Oh, hell no.
Absolutely not.
Nah, I'm good.
I appreciate that.
And I don't mean to be rude.
And it's not about the money.
But coaching don't pay enough.
I'm just telling you.
Not compared. No disrespect. It don't pay enough. I'm just telling you. Not compared, no disrespect.
It don't pay enough.
The hours you put in
and the chances of you not getting the results
for all the hours and work you put in,
it ain't worth the pay
unless you're one of the big boys,
unless you're the Mike Thomas,
or unless you're the Andy Reids.
Those that have been in are in great situations
where you're going to consistently win
over and over.
You know, NFL owners,
they got a three-year grace.
You only get a three-year grace.
Yeah, true.
So you up and move
and you don't win in those three years,
now you got to go.
Now what you supposed to do with your family?
Now what you supposed to do with your family?
Coach, it's like being in the military, Ocho,
or being a Pentecostal minister.
You know you going, Ocho,
you know you going Ocho. You know
you're going to move.
You know it ain't no
situation. Because look at Coach Saban. As great
as he was, Coach Saban was at Toledo.
He was at LSU. He was
at Miami
Dolphins. He's in Alabama.
As great as he was, he moved
home. Let me take that back. He was at
D.C. at Cleveland.
With Belichick. Belichick was there with Saban too, he moved on. Let me take that back. He was a DC at Cleveland. With Belichick.
Belichick was there with Saban too, right?
Yeah.
Coach Belichick was the head coach.
Coach Saban was a DC.
But what about these coaches that's been on five?
And there ain't no guarantee because you're the offensive coordinator.
They might fire you because the offense ain't looking good. They might you the offensive coordinator they might fire you
cause the offense ain't looking good
they might fire the defensive coordinator
cause he not looking good
the DB coach
the linebacker coach
the D-line
ah hell nah
you see what happened
now
you make me uproot my family
all 51,000 goddamn
thousand of my goddamn kids
and I'm
let's say I'm
I'm in
wherever
coaching
I'm an offensive coordinator
or I'm a head coach and things ain't going well, you know,
because I ain't got no goddamn quarterback.
So I don't know what you want me to do.
I don't have no quarterback.
And without a quarterback, you're not going to win no goddamn games.
And you talk about the owner talking about you finna fire me.
Finna fire who?
You think I'm finna go tell my wife you firing me and we got up and move back to Miami?
Man, nah.
Run me, run me, run me my fade, yo.
Run me my fade right here on the spot.
And the thing is, Ocho.
We got to swap him.
You know why I couldn't coach Ocho?
Because I really can't go out there
and physically do nothing.
All I can do is instill the training
and the knowledge I can in the players
and it's out of my hands.
Yeah.
I felt that when you played, Ocho,
you felt you could have some impact on the offense,
that you could help.
I felt I could have impact on the offense
and we could win the game.
I can't do ish.
I don't like giving up that kind of control.
Yeah.
And the funny thing about Unk,
you know exactly what to do.
You can coach.
You have the knowledge of it.
So you're teaching, critiquing,
trying to be technical from a standpoint
so they don't get it wrong
so you can go out there and perform at your best.
So I can get the most out of you
based on what I know.
I'm giving it to you.
This is what it should look like.
You're going through film.
You're breaking down tapes.
You got your game planning.
And they get out there and don't execute it.
And they got you looking bad
because players get coaches fired.
Yeah, for sure.
Players get coaches fired.
Get himself cut, get the coach fired.
Yep.
I want no part of that.

Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.

No.

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.
Oh, Joe, Xavier Leggett brought Raccoon to the locker room for everyone to try.
Listen, and I say I've never seen it like that.
The way my grandmother and everybody that I know that I've ever seen prepare raccoon.
Normally, they cut him up. They get a nice medium size raccoon. You don't want him too big
because, you know, but look, you're going to put him in vinegar
anyway and soak him overnight. But anyway,
so you're going to chop him up. You're going to get you a
pan with aluminum foil. Y'all
call it tin foil. We call it aluminum foil.
And you cut him up, Ocho. You get
your bell pepper. You get your onion.
You get you some celery.
You put him down in there.
Hey, okay, you put that tenfold over the top of him.
And you let him stay in that oven for an hour or so.
Probably about an hour, about 90 minutes.
Let him bake.
Now, you want to put some barbecue sauce on him?
Put that barbecue sauce on him.
Slap his ass back in that oven for about another 15 minutes.
Now you got some.
I've never seen it like that you got some i've never seen it
like that with rice i've never seen i'm not saying you can't prepare it like that but growing up and
i've seen a lot of people prepare it i've never seen it prepared like that now that's the side
maybe that's a south carolina thing maybe that's specific to that region right um you know but i've
never seen it like that now with squirrel i've seen it squirrel fried sm, but I've never seen it like that. Now, with squirrel, I've seen it squirrel fried,
smothered fried.
I've never seen squirrel baked.
I've only seen it fried and smothered fried.
Raccoon, I've only seen it baked.
I've never seen it like chicken and rice.
It's almost like, because it looked like he had it with rice.
Right.
But I've never seen it like that.
I'm not saying you can't eat it like that,
but my grandmother, all the times I saw my grandmother prepared,
my great-grandmother prepared,
my aunt prepared,
my sister prepared,
I've never seen it prepared like that.
Now, I'm not saying I wouldn't eat it.
I'll try it just to see what it tastes like,
but I know the way that I've eaten it growing up.
Yeah.
I like that way better.
I can already tell,
but that doesn't mean,
it almost looked like Boudin.
Who?
Like Boudin?
Boudin.
Booty?
No, I didn't make it up.
Oh, okay.
Okay, okay. You gotta pronounce that out.
B-O-U-D-I-N.
Boudin.
Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about something else.
Okay.
Nah, so... But hey, like I am, boo Dan. Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about something else. Okay. Okay. Nah, hell nah.
Nah, so, but hey, like I said, it's been a while, but I tried.
I mean, I've been trying to, you know, look, guys, you have to understand.
When you grow up, and I think his situation is kind of similar to mine.
He probably didn't have a whole lot.
Guys, you're not getting no ribs.
You're not getting those.
I was just talking to my
sister the other night oh sure we got fried chicken on sunday that's the only time i've
ever eaten fried chicken i've never had fried chicken on a monday or two now if it was left
over my grandmother was gonna smother fry you're gonna get that flour with water and make and
smother fry but on tuesday wednesday Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I never had fried
chicken on those days
unless you got it from
like the hen house. That was the place
after I had graduated and went off to college
they had what they call a crispy chicken. But as
far as eating at home, we didn't get
that. You got chitlins, you got
raccoons. Somebody come by, hey boys, y'all want
a raccoon? All they wanted
was the hide, the fur.
So they'd already have the raccoon cased
out.
That's what they call it
when they take the hide off Ocho, had him
bust out, but they make you leave a foot on him
so you could tell that's not a puppy,
that's a raccoon.
He would already be dressed
by the time you get him. That's what they call it
when they gutting him, take the head off,
take the fur off, they call it, and they have it like,
hey, boys, y'all, yeah, we'll take
him. They call it a bust down, like
a bust down, like he bust down. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When they've already got the hide
off him, they take the hide off him.
Because that's really the only
valuable part that the trappers
want, because they trap them. You
trap them, or you get dogs to go
hunt them and tree them. So you had
a black and tan, you had red bones,
you had blue ticks, you had bloodhounds,
you had a tree and walker, you
had dogs that go hunt.
And so you turn the dogs loose and
that's why you hear them.
They got
some trees. Now you go
hey, you get your rifle because you couldn't shoot him with a
shotgun because you messed the hide up so what you want is a 22 rifle small caliber
hit him in his head boom you don't punch you the fur the hide so that's
now a squirrel ain't no value ain't no value in the squirrel hide. So a raccoon, I mean, a squirrel, you use shotgun or.410, 12 gauge, 10, whatever the case may be.
You get that.
You know, you hurt quail.
You know, you use birdshot.
Right.
Something that spray because once you hit a flock of them, they're going to scare the hell out of you.
But they're gone.
So you got to, you know, turn and fire.
So you want shot that spread.
Right.
Now, if you're hunting deer, you use a shotgun,
but you're going to use, you know,
you might use a slug or you might use buckshot,
but you don't care.
Hold on, you got to be close enough.
How are you going to use a shotgun on a deer?
You're not close.
You got to get for that to hit?
But a lot of times people hunt from a stand.
Oh, that's right.
So you're up in a tree stand.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or you use a.30-30,.30-06.
You know, you use rifles.
Damn, man.
You know how to do the process of skinning, the process it takes?
My brother can.
No, I was young.
My brother watched my uncles do it.
Right.
And so he would go hunting, and he'd do it.
He'd kill a cool... He'd come and case him out himself. Yeah, he could do it right and so he would go hunting and and he'd do it he'd kill a
he'd come and case him out himself yeah he could do it oh yeah my brother my brother my brother
killed a deer an eight-point buck with a with a single shot rifle yeah he came home he came home
running he was huffing and puffing my uncle didn't believe him he said uh he said james i killed a
deer he said man you he, what you killing with?
He had a single-shot rifle.
My uncle said, bro, you ain't killed no deer.
He said, come on, let me show you.
Went back there.
Man, we call Hell Dragon a deer out of there.
That deer probably weighed, you know, 150 pounds.
That's a big boy there.
Yeah.
That's a big boy. But Yeah. That's a big boy.
But that's what, Ocho, you ate those things.
When you got hog, somebody might come home and they're like, Mary, we got.
So they bring you the feet.
They bring you the tail.
They bring you the head.
Now, oh, you thought you'd go get the ribs?
You thought you'd go get the shoulder?
You got the hog maw.
You got the chitlins. You got the heart. You got the shoulder? You got the hog maw. You got the chitlins.
You got the heart. You got
the liver. You got the feet.
You got the tail. You got the head.
You cut the ears off and you
can make pig ear sandwiches.
That's what you got.
With the cow, you got the tail.
You got the tongue.
It wasn't getting
no good cuts of meat.
So what y'all thought we was going to eat?
Right.
Now, think about oxtail.
Oxtails are delicacy.
People wouldn't eat oxtails like that back in the day.
Not our counterparts.
They eat it now.
You can't be, you can't.
You try to go to the soul food restaurant, they ordered up all the oxtails.
You know how expensive oxtail is right now?
Yeah, I know how expensive they are.
Man, stop playing.
Yeah.
Stop playing.
But that's what you ate growing up.
So you ate alligator...
Alligator turtle.
They look like they got
a tail like a little alligator. And they look like they got they got uh got a tail like a
little alligator and they got the ridge on the back yeah so we hey we catch them as big as a
number two a number two why we call it wash tub some people call them tin tubs it all depends on
where you grew up at but if you're in the south you know exactly what i'm talking about a number
two wash tub or tin tub as big as that is the bottom. You're talking about something like
85, even 100 pounds.
Oh, you coming home.
My greater were going to cook you.
For sure. Even the
soft-shell turtles.
Like I said, if you're from the South, you know exactly
what I'm talking about. But oh yeah, I don't
know what y'all thought we was going to eat.
You ate possum. You ate raccoon.
I had a great uncle.
He ate armadillo.
But see, that's why I draw the line now, Ocho.
I mean, I got some pride.
Sometimes you just got to say no.
Like Cass said, sometimes you got to tell him no.
He ate armadillo.
What's wrong?
Now, I tell you this, Ocho.
Now, you're talking about some pretty white meat.
A possum got some of the prettiest white meat you'll see when you get him dressed.
Right.
But, hey, them old folks eat 10 months.
You think somebody's snapping their finger?
That's lips popping.
Nah, but y'all, well, you better than me.
You can have that.
Y'all know what?
You the 80, what you going to do?
Like, look here. Oh, I mean, listen, if those, my. You the 80, what you gonna do? Like my... Oh, I mean,
listen, if those, my circumstances
were like that, like you, then
I wouldn't have no choice but eating and I would be
used to it. But the fact that I didn't grow up like that,
the chances of me eating
now, you have to say I'm eating it?
Nah, that ain't happening.
Let me tell you what my grandpa...
My grandma ain't really telling what we're eating.
My grandma just set the plate on the table. You ain't gotta eat it. It was up to you, huh? You ain't really telling what we're eating. My grandma just set the plate on the table.
You ain't got to eat it.
It was up to you, huh?
You ain't got to eat it.
Hey, Grant, I don't want this.
Okay, do without.
Man, part of it is do without.
There are people across the river,
when they say across the river, that means overseas.
They ain't got nothing to eat.
Hey, chicken, you got the neck.
You ate everything on the chicken, though, Joseph,
the first and last part to get over the fence, the beak and the butt.
You ain't eat the beak.
But some people eat that little fatty part.
If you're from the South, again, you know what I'm talking about.
That little fatty part right there, people eat that right there.
But you got the back.
You ate the back.
There ain't nothing.
Chicken necks.
You ate the gills.
You ate the livers.
I mean, everybody want the breasts and the wings.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You better get them necks and them backs and get on up out of here.
What?
But I would.
To make a long story short, Ocho,
I definitely would try that
raccoon. I would try it that
way because I've never had it that way.
It'd be interesting to taste, but I
know my sister
had that thing. Hey,
put that thing in that pan with the
onion and celery and bell pepper.
Chop, man, cover that thing
up, that tin, fall over it.
Wow.
See, now you got me hyped
now. you talking about
you talking about that guy
you just mentioned Oxtail
I'm thinking about Oxtail
I got some in the freezer right now
for real?
yeah
sometimes you got to go to the butcher
because at the butcher they'll cut it like you want it
sometimes you go to the store they get the butcher, they'll cut it like you want it. They begin. Sometimes you go to the store,
they get a little old thing.
No,
no,
no.
I want to say like this.
I want to say like a fish.
Big boys.
Yeah,
man.
See,
I don't see,
you don't come to Miami often,
right?
You remember from Kayvon Webster,
Kayvon Webster.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kayvon got a spot out here,
right?
Yeah.
Real nice spot called Smith and Webster.
Now,
when I go to Smith & Webster,
I get the goddamn
oxtails.
You look like a goddamn fish.
There's another spot. My homeboy
out there in the city.
What do you got? Man, listen, he
sell the goddamn oxtails and grits. You hear
me? Ooh!
I crave.
I love me some grits.
Man, listen, you can get the shrimp, the oxtail and some grits. Man, listen.
You can get the shrimp, the oxtail, the grits.
You get the shrimp, you get the waffle,
you get the pancake, you get the chicken wing.
I love some grits, man.
If I go somewhere, I'm trying to find
they got some grits.
Man, I love me some grits, Ocho.
Now, if I go to a soul food restaurant,
I'm looking up there.
If they got oxtail, I'm probably going to get the oxtail.
But if they got neck bones, I'm probably going to try the neck bone.
If they got pork chop, fried or some other fried, I'm going to get those.
Turkey wings.
Okay, how you got the turkey?
I'm going to get that.
You got some dressing?
Probably going to get that too.
I like to go out.
And I might not have but a bite or two bites, but I want to try it all.
That's how I am.
Yeah.
Hey, listen. Oh, man. God. That's in the morning. That's how I am. Yeah. Hey, listen.
Oh, man.
God.
That's in the morning.
That's where I'm going.
See, you don't amp me up.
I'm going in the morning.
Yeah.
I'm going to give you some oxy and grits in the morning.
Yeah.
I love some grits.
Grits and eggs, bacon.
Woo.
Ocho, check this out.
NFL viewership of Christmas Day game peaked at 27 million
during the Beyonce halftime performance for the Texas Ravens.
NFL game cast reached a record-breaking 65 million viewers in the U.S.
I know LeBron said, hey, I know LeBron said he loved NFL football,
but Christmas alone to basketball?
No, it don't.
No, it don't. No, it don't.
You could take Jacksonville,
the Giants,
and you put them on head-to-head
against any NBA game
and they'll outdraw.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
For one, with the NBA,
it ain't goddamn playoff time.
I don't care if it's playoff
time. Ain't nothing touching.
Ain't nothing touching the NFL.
No.
So what was the
viewers when Beyonce
was performing? 27 million at halftime.
Man, listen,
man.
Oh, Cowboy Carter?
You ain't got to tell me. You ain't got to tell me.
You ain't got to tell me.
Remember now, I used to be a backup dancer for Beyonce about 10 years ago.
So I already know what she can do.
So I understood what the performance was going to look like.
27 million, that ain't nothing for Beyonce.
You hear me?
We talk about the greatest performer.
We talk about the greatest live performer since Michael Jackson.
And anybody want to argue, we can argue about that.
Now, there are other great performers and entertainers out there,
but we talk about the greatest of all
time outside of Michael Jackson.
The thing that I
love about Beyonce, Ocho, is I know what I'm
going to get. I'm going to get consistency.
She's going to give me two hours, and it's going to be
nonstop, and she's
going to do what she do. Every time.
That's all I can ask for.
I don't care if you see her in Sweden.
I don't care if you see her in the Staples.
I don't, well, she can't do Staples.
I don't care if you see her at SoFi.
I don't care if you see her at Mercedes-Benz
Dome. I don't care if you see her at
Caesars in New Orleans. I don't care
where you see this woman.
I know what I'm going to get when I see
Beyonce knows Carter.
Yeah, you know what the problem is?
You know another problem?
What's that?
Most of the time,
it don't matter how much Beyonce tickets cost.
It don't matter.
Yeah, for sure.
Because it's worth the price
of fucking admission.
Yeah.
Because you know what you're getting.
You ain't just getting Beyonce.
You're getting,
it's all about an experience.
It's an experience.
It's an experience that you're going to be able to talk to years from now.
You'll be able to tell your grandkids about.
Yeah.
When Michael Vick played in Atlanta, it wasn't about no football game, man.
It was an experience.
It was an experience.
Yeah.
When you go watch Beyonce, it's an experience.
Yes. You won't understand it watching videos on Twitter. You won't understand it watching videos on Twitter. about an experience. When you go watch Beyonce, it's an experience.
You won't understand it watching videos on Twitter.
You won't understand it watching videos on TikTok.
You got to be a person to understand
what it's all about.
And until you do that,
you'll never get it.
I wish,
of all things I could have done,
I could have seen Janet when she was at her height because a lot of people tell me Janet did within her bag.
We know, Michael, look, and this is not a disrespect on anybody, but until somebody can come out on stage and don't move a muscle for 13 to 15 minutes and people start fainting.
Don't talk to me.
Yeah.
Yeah. Hey, yeah.
Don't talk to me.
Hey, you know,
I had a few faint over me in kindergarten, man.
Yeah, don't put nothing bad
in there.
But be honest with me.
Look, I know what I'm going to get
and that's what you hope for
with anything you hope
for consistency.
And she did a thing last night,
Cowboy Carter.
I didn't know a whole lot
of her songs.
I mean, I know like a few of her songs.
Yeah.
I know the routine.
Yeah.
Man, stop playing.
When they brought out, what you call it,
when she brought out her daughter, I like to see that.
Yeah, I know. I like to see that. Yeah, I know.
I know the whole routine.
Shoot, you talking about
Cowboy Carter, man.
Cowboy O Show, shit.
It's been reported that
Beyonce was paid $20 million
to perform the Netflix halftime show.
Worthy of it.
Worthy of every penny.
And the change. and the change.
And the change.
You put on a show.
I mean, look at all the people,
all the dancers.
I don't know,
was that Texas Southern band
that she had?
Most of the time it is.
I think it is Texas Southern.
I think it is like a local band.
Hey, they did their thing.
All of the cowboys.
Hey, she did what she did.
She did what she did.
Did what she's supposed to do.
Did what I expect when I see Beyonce.
She was sensational.
That's what I mean.
Sometimes I go back.
I was like, man, I wish I could have saw.
Like I said, had an opportunity to see Prince.
But I thought the tickets that were like $120, $150, they would be a scout for $3,000.
And I was like, man, that's too much.
And that was like a,
a Friday that he performed.
And then the following week he,
he was dead.
Right.
And so you never go,
you never going to see that.
Um,
never going to see a guy that they got opportunity to see Michael,
because by the time I had money to probably go see Michael,
he wasn't touring like that.
He wasn't.
I mean,
I had uncles and them and their aunts that saw the Jackson 5 when they came to the Civic Center that was in the 70s
but you know but
I've seen Bruno but you know
I want you to be honest I like to sit down and
chill I like to go

I saw Earth, Wind and Fire and I saw
Paul and Oates and I saw Indy

I saw Seal.
You know, I saw Booney James.
I got one more for you.
Who that?
I've seen Lenny Kravitz in person.
I mean, in concert a few times.
Lenny Kravitz.
I just saw him.
We just saw him.
Please tell me you saw Anthony Hamilton in concert, too.
You know what?
Anthony and I, we DM a lot.
And I've been trying
to be somewhere
where he's close because I want to see him.
But I did see Lenny Kravitz in Cairns.
He was performing at an event.
It might have been
Google or YouTube
and he was performing.
So I did see Lenny Kravitz.
Anthony Hamilton's nice.
Wait, Music Soulchild.
I rolled down the plane
with Music Soulchild.
Man,
listen.
Boy.
But,

Ocho.
Music will never be the same like that again. I want to go back and see the thing, like what I grew up on, Ocho. Yeah. Man.
Music will never be the same like that again.
Nah, nah, no, no.
I mean, look, Maxwell.
Woo!
Now you...
Maxwell?
I've seen Maxwell probably like eight times.
Yeah.
Man.
Yeah.
When that joker take them, you know, he got them,
he take them here.
Man, when he take them things out of his ear, Ochoa,
and just get on it. Boy,
Lord, have mercy.
Mac's nice.
Mac's nice.
But Maxwell and D'Angelo
had a nice little run, boy.
Oh, yeah.
Timeless music.
Ocho, check this out.
Miami head coach Jim Laranega resides midseason amid NIL disputes.
Jim Laranega on when the turning point for him towards retirement.
After we went to the 2023 Final Four,
eight players wanted to transfer or seek better NIL deals.
They told me they loved it at Miami, but wanted to seek better deals.
Laranega told reporters he felt he couldn't successfully navigate the whole new world that I was dealing with.
The university is a new leader of the program, one who is both adept at and embracing the new world of college intercollegiate
athletics.
Jordan.
The pressure, let's say pressure bus pipes, you know, either you're going to play or you're
going to fold.
Either you're going to play or you're going to fold and understand the landscape of the
way things are now in college, in college football, basketball, whatever it is that
you do play.
In order to compete, you got to play to win.
You got to pay, you got to pay to win.
That's just the way it is right now.
And you can't quit.
You can't quit.
You can't.
You get in the field and you do what's necessary
to put together a competitive program.
But how many times have coaches
gone to the national championship game
or had an outstanding season
and the college go to them,
give them a new deal
and none of the players quit.
Now the players get a little bit bread.
They want some money.
They want their fair share.
Nah, I can't navigate it.
Yeah.
Oh, so damn.
Yeah, it ain't so fun when the rabbit
got the gun, huh?
It's different.
It's different now.
You got to actually do some goddamn work.
Yeah, it's different.
But you see what happens, Ocho?
There's an African proverb that says
until the lion learns
how to write, the hunter
will always be glorified.
Until he can write his own story, we're going to always glorify the hunter.
Now, all of a sudden, the lions have learned to write.
Which is the student athletes.
They're learning to write.
And now all of a sudden.
Hmm.
That's a good one.
That's a good one now.
That was nasty.
Hey, chat, somebody in the chat, send me that exact quote.
Just tweet it to me real quick.
Yeah, I'm going to say that for later. Oh, you're going to use that one, Ocho?
Yeah, I'm going to use that one.
You remember it? You remember it? Yeah, the chat going to save that for later you remember it you remember it
the chat going to remember it for me
until the lion learns how to write
the hunter will always be glorified
Ocho check this out
scientists predict women
will be having more sex with robots
than men by 2050
I won't know nothing about it I sure by 2050. I won't know nothing about it.
I sure won't either.
I won't know nothing about it.
I'm going to be in the upper room.
I won't know a thing about it.
I ain't no sense in me lying to you.
And besides,
by the time I get that age,
it won't work anyway,
so it won't matter.
But that's the only way I'm going to quit.
I ain't going to quit till it quit.
2050? How old will it quit. 2050?
How old will I be in 2050?
It all depends.
What, you what?
You 44 now?
46.
You 46 now?
So you add 25 years to that, don't you?
You'll be 71.
That's it?
Yeah.
Well, I'm going to still be a what?
Knocking her down.
Excuse me.
No!
You know, O'Shea, O'Shea B,
hey, boy, we had a good run.
You know what I'm saying, Ocho?
We had to hang O'Shea,
had to hang it up.
Hey.
Hey.
All I'm going to do is,
because at that point in time,
what I'll be,
you know,
hey,
I'll be 25.
I'll be 81.
Yeah.
So at that point in time,
Mocho,

Ain't no going on.
Oh,

I don't even know a rope that could help me by then.
Yeah.
I don't know a rope that both sparks to't even know a rope that could help me by then. Yeah. I don't know a rope
that could help me by then.
You got to understand,
by the time 2050 get here,
you have to understand
that the advancement
and technologies
to help men
in that specific area
will probably be...
I need that thing
to go right into my veins.
All right, come on.
Ocho, I'll be in that wheelchair.
Come here. Come on.
Come on now. Don't go there.
Come here now.
Oh.
Hey.
My daughter's going to have to come get me.
Call my daughter and say, you're going to have to come get you.
Call my daughter and say,

Hey.
My kid better not put me in no home, boy.
They put me in no home when I get old.
But whoever in that home,

That's what I'm telling you. They're going to have to come get you.
Hey, you have to come get your daddy.
Yeah.
Shit.
All right.

Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee, your hands can't
hit what your eyes can't see. 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.
All right, Ocho, it's time for our final segment of the evening.
It's time for Q&A.
Hey, that goddamn nap.
That damn nap.
I'm so excited to be in one of those ones.
I got the rich in Milwaukee.
King Govon said, Uncle Ocho, I'm tired.
The Bears only need to fire everyone from the gym to the entire coaching staff.
If they were up there burning fries in a concession stand,
they would fire them too.
I'm tired.
Hashtag bear down.
I know how you feel.
Yeah.
Well, Joe, you know, look, at the end of the day,
there's going to be wholesale changes.
They're bringing in a new staff.
And you know what happens when you bring in a new staff.
When you bring, you know, the head coach gone,
everybody's going to be gone.
So they're bringing in an entire new staff.
You probably should have
did that last year uh once you got rid of uh once you got rid of justin fields and you had
so you should have had somebody else coach uh caleb williams because you saw a lot of the the
what happened with justin fields you saw that happen to caleb williams
and so uh i just think at this point in time,
yeah, obviously you're going to make a lot of changes.
And anytime, you know,
coaching staff comes in,
you want to get his players.
So you're going to have some turnover there.
But King, I don't think you're going to have that problem.
I think they're going to be a lot of,
I don't know if the GM is going to be gone,
but the head, obviously the head coach,
they're already on the interim head
coach and he hasn't done anything to warrant
keeping that job, but there's going to be a lot of
changes going on.
X-X
Coach Sanity
the Bears haven't been the same
since they fired Lovie Smith after
2012 season. Fresh hot.
You're right. They fired
what would the Bears give right now to be 10 and six?
Man, they fired that man after a 10 and six season.
You know, you know how they make man.
Let me stop.
Sometimes a man can make his destiny on the very road he took to avoid it.
You did everything you possibly could after the man went 10-6 to try to improve, and guess
what you did? You met your destiny.
Mm-hmm. Sometimes,
Ocho, a man can make his destiny
on the very road he took to avoid it.
That's, that's,
that's two in a row there.
For Uncle Ocho could tonight
game be one of the worst of all time
over the last few seasons boy
can you imagine if they
had that game on Christmas I thought they'd be
Grinch
bad please
that was a bad game
yeah it was bad
6-3 first of all look you know
at first at this point in time of the season in Chicago,
the weather is going to be bad.
You know that, Ocho. This is Chicago.
This is the Midwest.
You probably thought you was going to get snow,
but worse than snow
is cold-ass
rain.
Seattle shouldn't have no problem with that.
What do you think Seattle is getting half the time?
Rain. Rain? Yep. Listen, Seattle shouldn't have no problem with that. Because what do you think Seattle getting half the time? Oh, rain.
Rain?
Yep.
We did.
We had a great Christmas.
Elijah, hope you had a great Christmas also, bro.
Hope you love the Bears.
Bears did everything to lose this game.
But the draft capital is still nearly won.
If I'm Seattle, I'm worried about heading into the playoffs.
No, I'm not.
Because guess what?
I'm trying to win.
I'm headed to the'm worried about heading into the playoff. No, I'm not. Because guess what? I'm trying to win. I'm headed to the playoffs.
Bears going home.
The Bears are bad.
I mean, there ain't no way around it.
They're bad.
They're not a well-coached football team.
I think they got great players that's not coached very well.
They make a lot of mistakes.
What, didn't the guy jump offside?
They had it fourth or something, and the guy jumps offside.
Like, bro, what the hell?
Filthy McNasty.
Happy holidays, Uncle Ocho, staff, and the chat.
Question.
What are your I'm here moments in the NFL career?
Thank you for all you do.
Keep smelling, Ocho.
Fly, Eagle, fly.
Catching a touchdown in Kansas City.
My first game, I got an opportunity to play.
Really got an opportunity to play.
Started.
Split me out wide.
Caught a touchdown on K-Rock.
He had gone to the Pro Bowl.
I belong.
I belong. I belong I belong
I knew I belong
I knew I could make a
I could make a damn good living
now
once they move me to tight end
and you know all my teammates
Dennis Smith
who was one of the great safeties
in the ring of fame
Karl Mecklenburg
Simon Fletcher
all those guys said man
you could make the Pro Bowl
I was like huh?
like
ain't no tight end can move like you.
I guess, hey, I thank Wade Phillips for that
because I was the biggest wide receiver.
And so I played tight end on the scout team, Ocho.
Yeah.
Cooking.
Cooking.
Man, I'm talking about I'm a combination of Jamar Chase,
Travis Kelsey.
Oh, I'm them rolled up into one.
I'm catching the ball, putting the ball in the woods,
scoring touchdowns, spiking.
I'm doing everything.
I'm talking about I'm cooking everybody.
Ain't nobody had no chance.
Wade Phillips blew that whistle and said,
Dan, put his ass in the game
and let's see if they can cover it because we can't.
Right.
Next week, in the game.
So yeah, that was, but it was actually,
it was once I got in the game.
Because I had been, you know,
was making plays,
but once I got in the game, Ocho, and caught a touchdown
on a proven player?
Yeah.
Man, you couldn't hit me in the ass
with a red apple.
I belonged.
I belonged.
Yeah, I think my belonging moment
once I kind of figured it out
was obviously my first touchdown,
never forget,
against the Chargers,
Rodney Harrison,
and the D.B. Cubs
playing for the Miami Hurricanes, Ryan McNeil.
My first touchdown was on Ryan McNeil.
And once I caught that touchdown on him,
once my confidence got there and said, okay, I just settled in a little bit.
Well, that was all she wrote.
By the time I got to the middle of year two and I started talking a little bit. But that was all she wrote. By the time I got to the middle
of year two and I started talking
a little bit
and I figured it out,
boy, it wasn't a beheld
for the next nine years.
D'Amico Jason, Uncle Nocho,
what can my Saints do to get back to
winning next season?
Man, y'all in due for a major
overhaul. Y'all got a lot of guys making a lot of money
that's not producing.
You got to keep your quarterback healthy.
He has to play with more consistency,
and that's kind of been Derek Carr.
He plays great sometimes,
and then you're like, bro,
have you ever seen a foot or a ball?
But they got to look.
It's not good, man.
They're not.
Ocho, I think for them is that they like,
they had Drew and they kept going for it.
And they didn't really replenish the roster.
And so they got some older guys now.
They got to have to make some decisions
because they got some guys that's making a lot of money Ocho that's not giving them a lot of
production
they're going to have to take a cut
or move along
Drew said Ocho will you cover
your betting tab with Unc if you sign
a picture I got
of you for my late oh I'll
cover the betting tab if you sign
the picture I got of you and my
late father.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to let you do that, Drew.
I got you.
No, you don't.
You ain't got me.
I'm going to see you in New Orleans, bro.
I'm going to see you in New Orleans.
You see me all the time.
Ain't broke bread yet.
I ain't seen you yet.
Drew said the homies they recently brought a bingo cat named Ocho.
Can I give y'all Zay and his cat Ocho a shout out?
Yes.
Zay, what up?
Got a cat named Ocho.
A bingo cat named Ocho.
I like that.
I like that.
You like cats?
No. I like that cat. Yeah. I like that cat. I like that. I like that. You like cats? No. I like that cat.

talking about. I don't like cats like
domesticated cats. I like Bengal tiger cats.
Yes.
I like cat.
I like kitty cat.
You know what I'm talking about?
Not what I'm talking about.
I don't know what you're talking about.

but I hear what you're talking about.
Yeah.
