Being an NBA player. What was that? A what? A Toyota Supra. I didn't even know they made those. They still make those? Yeah,

Put your little exhaust on that thing, have that thing up. They call you a little fast and. That was that night. Put your little exhaust on that thing. Had that thing hooked. They call you a little fast and furious. Uh-huh. That's not that bad. That's not that bad. Did y'all prank y'all rookie?

No. I was pranking my rookie. I think I might have told you where I made a mistake and let my windows down. The night they decided to prank and they used a fire extinguisher, I was told to wake up with my whole car all white, but them not knowing

it was nighttime. When they did it, obviously when everybody was asleep, my windows was cracked on both sides, so the entirety of my car was all white on the inside. And I had a Lexus IS300. And if anyone that drives a Lexus

or had a Lexus understands that the seats were, what, suede? Or something like that. I forgot the material. So everything was ruined. I didn't get mad. I didn't get upset because I understood this is what comes with it and I was just so happy to be in the NFL at that point as a rookie

and I wasn't even tripping. Took it to the detail. I had a lot of detailers. I'll never forget. We was in training camp all the way in Georgetown, Kentucky. Took it to the detail. Listen, if y'all can get it out, fine. If you can't, I ain't tripping.

I made it. I'm here. I'm in the league. You figured it out? Yeah, the best way they could, yeah. Best way they could. I'll never forget. I wasn't even upset, though. It was funny.

It was funny to me. Yeah, we, I mean, yeah, obviously, you got to prank the rookies. Always. That's a rite of passage. So, yeah, we probably steal your car. Do a let the fire extinguish. I mean, what we

would do, we would pull rubbing alcohol up under the door and then set it on fire. Whoa, whoa, wait, what? Yeah. You won't come. Oh,

you won't come out. You know, I said, you won't, you won't, you won't come out. Okay. We'll smoke you out.

Oh, we'll take the, knock the people. You know, you got a people cause it was a college dorm. We would knock the people out and let the fire extinguish off up in there. Oh, come out. We get you to come out. I don't out on joke then we're gonna dash to dump the water on you that's a good one we put toothpaste so we put toothpaste we take toothpaste uh and put it on your door handle so you don't know you're coming out for training camp you just turn around and

Sharp, man, you played your bro. Or, we go into the dining hall, Ocho, we take all the salt and pepper, and we put it on. So, you pour some salt, all the salt go into your meal.

I took a dude truck he had to explore drove it drove it like a mile away left it running lights on doors open began to practice so it was like five minutes so he ain't got enough time to go get it like a mile away, left it running, lights on, doors open, began

to practice. So it was like five minutes, so he ain't got enough time to go get it. He just watched up there for two hours. He just watched it. And them lights getting dimmer and dimmer. Dimmer and dimmer. Dimmer and dimmer. I ain't do it. I'm just saying I know who did

do it. I'm just saying I know who did do it. I'm just saying, like I said, I don't know if the statute of limitations is up on such a crime, but I'm just saying I know people that would do such a thing like that. Not that I did it because I was probably like, bro, ain't nobody did it. But I'm like, bro, how did I do it? And I'm right here with you. Yeah, it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just want y'all to know I had no part of that now did I see something yeah but you ain't seen it yeah but I don't work for Arapahoe Police Department

so it's not my job and I'm not Detective Mullins of 448 it ain't my job to investigate I'm not Detective Mullins of Force 48. It ain't my job to investigate it. So with that being said, I don't know damn it. I understand. I understand. Bill Belichick is telling UNC

staff to copy his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, in every message intended for him. From Coach Belichick Monday, December 16, 2024, 11 p.m. to blah, blah, blah. You see what it is. Robbie, thank you

for the email. I'm including Jordan on this email so she can keep up with our posting. Can you include her on anything you send me? Thank you. BB. That's not a bad thing, is it? Let me ask you a question When somebody sent stuff from you

Did you include on everything that was sent to you Did you include I'm just asking, yes or no Why you shaking your thumb Like you the Kimbap and Tombo I wasn't trying to hear that You know what I'm talking about When you asking me if it's a good or bad thing

I'm asking you On certain things on certain things on certain things that he said hold on let me go back let me go back can you include her on anything you send me i'm gonna pose this again to one ocho cinco at any point in time did you request that everything that was sent to you was copied to your girlfriend or significant other? Is it simple? Yes or simple? No.

Work related. Work related. Yes. Hold on. You ain't him? Let me read this again. He said, no, no, no. I heard.

Thank you for the email. I'm including Jordan on this email so she can keep up with our posting. Oh, can you include? No. For me, listen, based on the question, to keep things within context, anything work-related, the small team that I do have, that individual is included to make sure I stay on top of my stuff

because sometimes I forget certain things. You know, the scheduling, what time my flight is, my boarding pass, just small stuff so I stay on top of it and that individual keep me ahead of schedule. That's all. But everything? No, absolutely not. It's that Bill Belichick asked his UNC staff

to copy his girlfriend on every email they send to him. I have a question, with as much as Bill has to worry about, would you think that's a good thing in general so he could focus on the football side of things

and anything outside of that she can help and kind of keep him abreast on what's going on? That's their relationship. I don't know. for the most part um yeah i i can see it oh joe i do see it because a lot of stuff that shelly gets copied on because shelly is the one that has my, has my, there you go.

The problem that we was running into. Okay. I've got to do something for ESPN. I might have something scheduled for nightcap, but then it overlapped club. And so now we're, so now everything we got to copy. Okay. Blah,

blah, blah. We got a potential, uh, sit down on club. She, she on this date, Shelly,

this is not going to work. Shelly has this already scheduled on this date. Can we move it back a day or move it up a day? So I get it. I get it. I do get it. At first, I was like, damn, everything. But yeah, for the most part, Shelly is looped in.

And she looped in on everything. Because he said copy her on everything. She looped in. Shelly's looped in on the she looped in on everything. Because he said copy her on everything. She looped in, Shelly's looped in on the most important stuff. Yeah. Yeah. But Bill is doing... Well, here's the thing. How about this, Ocho?

Shelly is the email. You can't email me. So it's got to be, it's got to go to Shelly. How about this, Ocho? I'm Luke Ben. Yeah, that's a good one. But this is,

Ocho, the difference is, like, a lot of people that have executive assistants, you Luke them in, blah, blah,

blah. She's not his assistant. There's a difference between the two. I don't think, I think Coach Belichick has an assistant. I don't think it's her.

He has a girlfriend. It's this young lady, Jordan. Yeah. Two different. At any point in time was no, no, mm-mm. There wasn't no emails going because when Shelly was getting the emails she wasn't then forwarding them on to someone else they would take a look no no you know what so no i i like i said it's a sister yes girlfriend unless girlfriend is a sister that's handling all that you just said

how do you eliminate one expense how do you eliminate one expense? How do you eliminate one expense? You make... That expense, North Carolina Tar Heels are paying for. That's an expense he doesn't need to because the Tar Heels... I'm talking about me. We're talking about me. We're talking about me. Oh, yeah.

The men not only are the misses, but you're also the assistant. You're the one giving me... Listen, when you find a woman anyway in general that actually cares about you, she brings that structure and discipline that you need to keep your ass in line anyway. Why not? Your girlfriend should be your assistant anyway. It makes sense. Yeah, but a lot of times, though, Joe, it's part of the value that she adds to even being attached to you.

True. I agree. But a lot of times, Ocho, they're like, I want to stay in this lane. I want to stay over here, Ocho. You have somebody over there to do that because I don't want

to get the lines blurred. I get it. I do. I get it. I do. I get it. But, hey, when you're in love,

we all been there now. Don't play. We been there. Hold on, hold on. Where you going with this now? Talk to me. We been there where we tell been there now. Don't play. We been there. Hold on, hold on. Where you going with this now? Talk to me. We been there where we tell the girl everything, every move. I'm going here.

I'm going there. I'm meeting Chauncey. I'm meeting Doug. I'm going to hang with TJ. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do X, Y, and Z. You tell everything. There was a time period.

There might not be. It might have been a month. It might have been two months. It might have been six months. It might have been a year. You do it at the beginning. When things are going well. But you know, obviously sometimes an individual loses those privileges. No, I'm not trying to be funny. I'm just

being honest with you. I know you ain't trying to be funny i'm just being honest with you sometimes a person loses those privileges to know your every move so i understand what you're saying but in love listen love there's a thin line between being in love and being stupid and i never crossed that line over to being stupid. Ever. Ever. But, hey, Coach Belichick and Love, man, when you do love, they say love is like a cataract. It's blinding. That's what they say.

I don't know. I ain't never had no cataracts. I know they do have LASIK surgery, though. I know they do have LASIK surgery, though. I know that.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No.

It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General... I'm Leon 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. He's appearing in season four of Godfather of Harlem on MGM.

He's been on How to Get Away with Murder, The Bold and the Beautiful, Dear White People, Chicago Fire, With Love, and Madea Family Funeral. Take us now. Time to welcome Rome Flair. Rome, what do you do? What's going on what's up baby what's the word man man we good we good tell us about the godfather of harlem how did you come about getting that role yeah you know um i auditioned for it so So I got the script and sort of the breakdown. And I was like, Frank Lucas, you know, young Frank. I was like, okay, let me do some research.

And I didn't think they actually were going to rock with me for it. Because, you know, a lot of times I don't get cast in those gritty roles like that. But, you know, our creator, Chris Brancato, he just saw something in my tape. He was just like, you were the guy right away. I was like, okay. So, you know, we did it. I got to work with Forrest and filmed for about five months on that,

five and a half months. And it's, you know, we almost here. It comes out April. You saw Denzel portrayal of Frank Lucas in American Gangster. Did you lean into that or you were trying to go a totally different way since I got to put my own spin on it?

Yeah, I'm just I'm inspired by him regardless, you know, but I didn't draw any inspiration from his portrayal of Frank at all because he plays him at a point in his life where he's already the man, you know. I play a young Frank

who now touches down at Harlem in 1966 with nothing. Right, right. We get to kind of know the conception of like who Frank was in the beginning who now touches down at Harlem in 1966 with nothing back. Right. Right. We get to kind of know the conception of like who Frank was in the beginning. And we take them on a little journey to ultimately who he does become, you know, this version of Frank Lucas that,

you know, did Zell played in the movie. That's like, Hey, when it comes to acting, right. Obviously we all, we all pull motivation from,

from, from people that we see and we want to achieve the type of greatness they have. Who are some actors that you watch that made you realize, you know what, I can actually do this? Early on, you know, one of my favorites was Will Smith. And, you know, Will was that guy because he was he was able to have just this comedic timing about him, you know, with Fresh Prince. But he had so many, like, heavy scenes in that series also. More notable, probably, you probably know if you've seen it,

is, like, you know, where his dad leaves. Oh, he's going to be crying. He's going to be crying. Yeah, so that scene always stuck out to me because for whatever reason, when I was younger, I never thought about acting or anything you know until i became an adult but uh when i thought about like will's career i was like man this guy can do everything it's kind of like a swiss army knife you know so like

if i'm lucky enough to have a career with that kind of longevity uh with the amazing stories that he's been able to tell then you know i've done an amazing job when it comes to also acting i mean i really never put my foot into it. I've just done small cameos. Do you think having range, being able to play multiple roles, plays a part in having longevity as an actor where you can do much more as opposed to just being always doing the same type, being cast as the same different role in movies? I don't think so. I think so i think if you're good at what you do there'll always be a link for you you know it's always good to kind of

reinvent yourself i you know two chance one of my homies he always told me this like you have to look at yourself as a business so you have to reinvent yourself every couple of years and it's same thing with acting like we we have a certain itch i think most actors that i know has this itch they want to scratch and that's just the journey of getting opportunities to play different characters, you know, whether it's comedic or it's drama or whatever. But some guys just figure it out like, yo, this is my lane, I'm gonna stick to it. You know, The Rock, The Rock, he's great at what he does. You know, he was once one of the most paid, you know, actors in Hollywood. And it wasn't like he was out there doing Shakespeare, you know what I mean? He was doing his thing and he did it well.

If you call out your own niche and you great at it, then, you know, I think it's just about building on that. And then when you're ready, you get opportunity,

then you try to stretch a little more and do different stuff. Rome, you won the celebrity All-Star Game MVP. Were you good in sports when you were growing up? Did you want to be a sport?

If you played sports, what sport did you play? And do you want to be a professional athlete? I never had dreams of playing professionally. I always knew how handicapped I was at height-wise. But I played football in high school, and I played basketball, and I didn't get good at basketball until I was a senior in high school and I played basketball and I didn't get good at basketball until I was like a senior in high school. OK, I never got the glory. You know, I wasn't the guy who was starting every game. I was at the end of the bench a lot. You know what I mean?

I had to work my way. And now I'm a bucket. I'm like that now. You know, I'm saying, hey, are you a bucket? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it was dope. Doing the NBA thing was a dream come true. We need to get you with Gilly. Because Gilly say he a bucket. They call him Damon Giller.

You know, I saw that. You know, I like him. I like him. He can't guard me, though. Gilly. Gilly. I like that. You see this? I like that. You know, I like... Okay. I like him. I like him. He can't guard me, though. Gilly! Gilly! I like that. I like that. You see, Gilly?

Gilly, I just want you to know. Did you hear what Rome said? I like that. You can't see him on that court. That's what he just said. Money on the wood, good. Money on the wood, good. Put a little price to it, huh?

Put a little price to it. Yeah. Gilly, what you trying to do? Put it on the wood. Put a little price to it. Put a little price to it. Gilly, what you trying to do? Put it on the street. We're going to make that happen. Gilly, the man say money on the wood is good. Money out of sight, cause a fight. That's what I'm talking about.

That's what I'm talking about. Gilly, what you trying to do? Hey, Ron. You got to play. The All-Star'm talking about, Roan. That's what I'm talking about. Gilly, what you trying to do? Hey, Roan, it's time you got to play. You know, the All-Star game is in L.A. next year. Uh-oh. Oh, it is. Yeah. Clippers. Clippers. That's right. Into it. Wow. Wow.

I got one question. I'm going to be there. You know, I got to... Go ahead. Go ahead, Ocho. Go ahead, Ocho. Is there a dream role or character you want to play? Like, I have a dream role. Hey, listen. I'm not go ahead. Go ahead. Is there a dream role or character you want to play? Like I have a dream role. I listen. I'm not in the act. Listen, I love acting. I love the craft itself. I love arts, drama, theater, all that. Obviously, I was I was a drama major. Matter of fact, speaking of I'm going to see Denzel. I'm in New York right now. I'm going to see I'm going to see Othello Saturday.

But I've always wanted to act beside Daniel Day-Lewis. I would never get the opportunity. I'm just saying a dream. I mean, it's so far it's stretched out the imagination. It would never happen, but just, I love Daniel Day-Lewis. I love everything he's ever done.

Well, he retired. Yeah, he retired. He ain't really doing nothing anymore. He got one film he has coming out. His son is directing it. So, you know, he kind of came retired for a little bit. Yeah, he retired. He ain't really doing nothing anymore. He got one film he has coming out. His son is directing it. So, you know, he kind of came out of retirement to do that. A few in a Green Bowl or

character that you want to play? Superhero, man. For real? Superhero. Yeah, yeah. But I want to represent like, man, just like a reimagined version of like what a

superhero is, you know? And there's a lot of stuff floating around, but I've always wanted to be able to do a, do a film or like a series where I, you know, I actually, you know, in Raising Dion, I had powers, right? So I was kind of like a superhero in that, but I'm thinking more globally. I'm thinking more Marvel. I'm thinking more DC. I need, I need one of them kind of, kind of gig, you know, working towards, you know,

I'm in that gym. I'm going to lift him like Shake Shark. What about you? If you say you want to play like a superhero, who is your favorite superhero? I mean, Batman was always that guy for me. He ain't got no powers, right? I know he's got no powers, but he can't fly. He can't see.

He can't hear. He got that belt. Take that belt off. He can't hear. He got that belt. Take that belt off and he get it there. He got it. He's smart now. He's smart. You know,

no, he was my favorite growing up though. Superman, you know, it made me eventually ready for a black Superman. I'm ready to step in there, man. Right.

I got us. Honestly, like, I always just felt like if I got the opportunity to play, like, a version of a Spider-Man, it would be dope. You know what I mean? Right. You know, in the multiverse, there's so many of them. Maybe I'm going to be one of them ones, you know?

you know my top five kind of like a wall of actors I try to like stay away from the cliches like obviously I'm a huge fan of Denzel

like he's on everybody right yes probably on everybody's list but Don Cheadle I think he won Samuel Jackson

I mean his resume is like he's up there he's one of the greats if you actually look at the range and like the things he can do like can you do it's hard to do snakes on a plane how hard that movie was probably for him to do.

Star Wars. Yeah. I mean, he's done everything, man. Time to Kill. Time to Kill. I think Hateful Eight. What's that one of them? Pulp Fiction.

Yeah. Pulp Fiction. Oh, what's that? That Spike Lee movie? Lakeview Terrace. Jungle Beaver. Jungle Beaver. You know what?

Didn't land there for you. Remember Lakeview Terrace? Oh, yeah. What was it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was just giving them neighbors hail. He cut down the trees and put spotlights on them. Now, he needs some more.

He needs to get his flowers for sure. I think. Nah, they never gave. I don't even know if he's ever been nominated for an Oscar. But if he didn't win it for Django, he ain't winning for some of the roles that he played or time to kill. They ain't finna give it to him now. He was cooking though.

He was cooking in that. Oh, he had a strength. It seems to me that you like guys with range. For me, I love Tom Hanks. Range out to Ying Yang. A guy that he's no longer with us, Robin Williams. Had an incredible range. Very good. He was great.

Yeah. The women I love, Viola Davis, obviously. Redhead. Hey, Blanchett. Redhead lady name. Ron, what's the redhead? What movie? Julianne Moore? Julia Roberts. No, no, no. Julianne Moore? Julia Roberts.

No, no, no. Julianne Moore. I ain't familiar. I'm thinking of Amy Adams. Yeah, I know Amy Adams. She won an Academy Award. Julianne Moore. It's got to be her name.

Julianne Moore, yes. The red head. Yeah, man. She won a couple Academy Awards. She is incredible. She is incredible. You know, I got to work. I got to work with Viola, obviously. For real?

To have her on How to Get Rid of Viola. Oh, that's dope, man. Hey, you get that? Well, if you want an EGOT, you got to. You ain't no. You got range. An Emmy, a Grammy, an EGOT, you got to, you ain't no, you got range. An Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. You can sing, you can dance, you can act.

Oh, that's Julia Elphabaum. That's a lamb Hannibal, man. No, no, that's Jodie Foster. Jodie Foster was. She was in Silence. Wait, she's in one of them. Mm-mm. There's a couple of them for sure.

She was in a movie? Yeah, she's in Hannibal. She was? Yeah. That's Clarice. Hannibal. She's Clarice. Oh, yeah, yeah.

In the rebook, yeah. Because if I'm not mistaken, I think Silence of the Lamb is after Hannibal. Hannibal was first, but they released Silence of the Lamb first. I just know that's Clarice. You know what else did not work?

My man, Holly, worked on. Yeah, oh! No country for old man. Oh! But he was, um, he didn't talk. Well, he talked, but he was just like a man of few words and that. But he was doing as well. When he talked, it was too like a man of few words and that but um when he talked it was too late

yeah it was too late lift the coin Rome you're from Springfield Illinois so that means are you a Bulls and Bears fan Cubs, White Sox or have you like kind of like moved on cause y'all guys been terrible

for a while yeah i was born i was actually born in chicago i was i was i was okay growing up in chicago and then i moved to springfield and um i actually went to the same high school as andre godala so oh really he's much older than me though but um and we we never even met which is crazy but but yeah you know springfield is kind of a small town town, but it's oddly like a place where a lot of people come out of creatively for some reason. But I was a Bears fan, you know, when D. Rose was the man. You know, I got to see Mike. You mean Bulls fans? I mean Bulls fans, yeah.

You know, when D. Rose was the man. You know, I always wanted to play in D. Rose's. You know, then he got hurt. And then shortly after that, you know, it was just me and Brian. Lock and stack. Me and Brian, Brian, you know, so. That's it. I'm a Brian fan now.

Yeah, that's where I'm at, you know. That's what I'm talking about. Now, Springfield, the most famous alum from Springfield is Abraham Lincoln. Yeah, facts. Yeah. So what was it? I mean, do people, I mean, what is it like? I mean, we talk about obviously one of the great presidents, what he meant for American history, his place in American history.

Did you understand what Abraham Lincoln was outside of being a president? Did you understand what it meant for that little small? You said it's a very small town in Illinois. Did you understand what he meant at the time when you were growing up? Yeah. You know, they have like the statue of him. That's like near the library in the town. And so I would always ride my bike. I used to always see it all the time, but it never crossed my mind what it meant or if it was important or anything. Right.

But when you get older, then you look back and you're like, wow, that's actually dope. You know, that's a part of our history there. What about your Bears? Caleb Williams, they've done a great job. They've got them offensive line. They're going to protect them now. They got weapons. You know, they drafted Roma Dunzay.

You don't hear very many Roms. First name, there's Roma Dunzay. We got Rome Flynn. You got D.J. Moore. We don't know the situation. You got Cole Komete, the wide receiver. We don't know if they're going to bring Keenan Allen back, but they should be better.

What is your expectation for the Bears this season? Well, I think, you know, Caleb showed that with enough time, he can be accurate. He was one of the most accurate quarterbacks last season. So they shored up that O-line. Obviously, they got my guy from the Chiefs. I'm a Chiefs fan, too. I just, I like, I'm more of a player guy. I. I'm a Chiefs fan, too. Don't do me.

Yeah, yeah. I'm more of like a player guy. I like certain players. That's that, yeah. But they shorted up that O-line. I think hopefully they get in the draft and they can find something. It's great when you can trade outside of the draft and be able to find something instead of having to look in the draft. But I think Caleb is going to be a lot more comfortable.

Obviously, he has a new head coach who is incredible you know for the Lions and I just think you know he's going to be in a better place and he'll be able

to be the best version of himself especially if he has a little more time behind that O-line you got a special project coming up anything you want

to share you want to promote yeah yes for sure I got so I got a show called SideQuest. That's on Apple TV.

That comes out March 26th. And, you know, obviously, Godfather of Harlem is April 13th. And also, and Shannon, you know, I'm going to gift y'all a year subscription for MGM Plus for both of y'all. Make sure y'all do. Hey, I like that. I like that.
