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.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.

Caleb Williamson, a cold-blooded thanks to the Bears kicker, newter after he was drafted. After hitting multiple home runs over the first couple of days
in the 2024 draft, the Chicago
Bears drafted former Iowa punter
Torrey Taylor in the fourth round.
Taylor said he already received
a text from Caleb Williams, says, hey,
you're not going to punt much this
year. Williams' confidence clearly knows
no bounds.
I like it. Come on, we got
all these young fellas, man,
coming out here talking that talk.
The last one I think to remember
to say something like that
and it's still backing up to this day
was Jamar Chase.
Jamar Chase said,
I'm going to Cincinnati
and I'm going to break every record.
And he stood ten toes
about going about breaking every record.
Oh, you had to make it two records.
Keon Coleman, who is also from Louisiana,
came out talking that stuff,
and I guarantee you
his play is going to match
the way he's talking.
Caleb Williams,
he done texted a pun already.
Why don't you worry about it, boy?
You ain't gonna...
You ain't gonna...
Boy, that's crazy.
Ocho, that's crazy, ain't it?
Do you see what he got to work with, though? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You see... You ain't go Boy that's crazy Ocho that's crazy ain't it How do you guys
Do you see what he got
Do you see what he got
To work with though
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
You see
Aduze
And Keenan Allen
And DJ Moore
Cold command
DJ Moore
How do you say
Young Bull name
From UW
I want to say it
The wrong way
Aduze
And stop playing
Pun what
Pun who
Pun
Alright
Man I'm man I'm excited
I'm excited to see
the Bears offense
if Caleb talking like that
he mean business
cause you gotta understand
the quarterback position
the quarterback position
doesn't do that
yeah he definitely
needs to have confidence
they don't
they don't do that
it's frowned upon
it's frowned upon
so him
for him
to even allow this
to get out he wanted out on purpose i like
it well i like it not publicly because normally i like it normally i know what you go i know what
you're gonna say normally the quarterbacks they do show a lot of confidence but normally it stayed
within the walls always because we we going back and forth. John talking,
oh, y'all not going to get anything today.
Somebody battled the ball down.
Yeah. Oh, he hot.
Hey, team, come on.
I'm like, man, I just, no, it's hot. He said,
no, come on. So now I got to go
out there and redeem because they talking
trash. So now I got to go out there, me, Rod,
and we got to go out there and cook somebody.
Yeah, yeah.
How did y'all do in practice
y'all did ones on twos
or ones on ones sometimes
we did ones on ones
in um
in um
in two minutes
in two minutes yeah
okay
move the ball two minutes
stuff like that
right
sometimes
in the red zone
yeah
yeah okay
but normally we did
we did uh
ones on
ones on um
uh a lot of times yeah even on we did, we did ones on, ones on, a lot of times,
yeah,
even on nine on seven,
we did ones on twos.
Now early on in training camp,
you know,
it's one versus ones.
Oh yeah,
yeah.
Training camp.
You were,
you were,
you were in shorts.
Y'all was in shorts and helmet too,
right?
In the second practice,
in the first practice,
we couldn't.
Practice in full pads.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I had some fun.
Hey, hold on, hold on.
What about training camp?
Y'all linemen always
got in the fights?
The linemen always
fighting in training camp?
Okay, okay.
Look here, bro.
Y'all got to stop this
because I know y'all
because coach,
you catch on quick.
Y'all try to get
out of practice.
By fighting?
Start a fight on purpose
so you get out of there?
Uh-huh.
Mike said,
when y'all done fighting,
y'all took 15 minutes.
We adding that on the practice.
That's not the fight.
That's not the fight.
You know what's funny?
Every year, they have joint practices.
And every year, there's always a fight.
And the media act like, oh my God, it's something new.
Like, come on, man.
No.
Come on, man.
Because you'll let a little stuff go, Ocho.
If it's my teammate, I'll let a little shove go.
I'll let you grab my face, man.
I'm not going to let you do that
because the first time you think,
you think you can get in the game and really do that.
So that ain't going to happen.
Right, right, right.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
You know what's funny?
Most of the time, the scuffles that happen in practice
and training camps with joint practices,
you know you never see that in the game
because you already know you're in a game situation
and you're not going to throw a punch.
You're not going to pull nobody's face mask.
I mean, the last time we saw something like that
where someone actually threw a punch
and just really didn't care was Young Bull.
Young Bull that was with the Bears.
Remember?
Oh, yeah.
When he slapped a dude from the Saints.
Yeah, he walked all the way around
to get in his face
and really like,
nigga, drove back and took off.
Yeah.
Like, that was personal.
That was personal.
If I'm not mistaken,
that was Gardner Johnson
that he did that to.
It was?
I think so.
Gardner has a little nephew now.
He'll get up under your skin now.
Well, he didn't get that one.
He took that one. He took that one.
He took that one.
He got up under his skin.
It's called mental warfare, mental gymnastics.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
You got to have tough skin out there.
Yeah.
Now you're throwing out the game, and now the Eagles got the edge.
He was in what you call, remember, he was with the Saints then, if I'm not mistaken.
I think that was Gardner Johnson then.
I think that was the one,
the play that you're talking about where the guy ran down there
and he was like... Dude, receiver
from the Bears. I can't remember his last name. I think he
was number 83. That's all I can remember.
I know exactly who you're talking about. Yeah.
He took off
on it. Yeah. Oh, wait
a minute. Josh Norman and Odell. Oh, yeah, it. Yeah. Oh, wait a minute. Josh Norman and Odell.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Akeem Tlaib and Michael Crabtree.
Oh, yeah.
Akeem, Deebo, though, boy.
Yeah, yeah.
But see, none of those got thrown out.
Those are just little, little, little spats.
I call them little spats.
Those aren't worthy of getting thrown out the game.
That's high emotion, middle of the game, getting after it.
They cleaned it up.
They had to.
Go back there.
If I'm not mistaken, I think it was the Rams.
I think it not was the Rams.
It was the Raiders and the Chiefs.
Wait, they had one then?
Man, Sean Jones took a new helmet off and was swinging his helmet.
We tried to hit him upside the head with his helmet.
Wait, what year was this?
The 80s.
Wait, you're talking about Kyle Turley.
No, no, I ain't talking about Kyle Turley.
I'm talking about, I think it was like in the 80s, like 84, 85.
It's the Raiders and the Chiefs.
I'm almost certain of it.
He took his helmet off?
He tried to hit him with it?
He sure did.
In the middle of a game?
Just like Miles Garrett.
Remember when Miles Garrett
hit on the quarterback?
Oh, that's right.
I forgot about that.
I forgot about that.
I forgot about that.
Mason Rudolph.
It was a different game back then. They would get you they'd get your ass up out of there. I forgot about that. I forgot about that. Mason Rudolph. It was a different game back then.
They would get your ass up out of there.
They didn't play.
They done changed the rules now.
They done made it so cost prohibitive to do things like that, Ocho.
But they would cheap shot your quarterback.
They'd knock your quarterback out of the game.
They'd hurt your quarterback.
On purpose?
Yes.
With no repercussions?
They say you did what you did on purpose.
That's why they looked at it.
Oh, they wanted retribution.
Oh, absolutely.
Oh, y'all, they was crazy back then, right?
Why you think they changed the rule unabated to the quarterback?
Yeah, yeah.
Bruce Smith knocked Boomer Sison out of the game.
He jumped the count.
Hit it right up on his chin.
Go back and look it up.
Wait, he jumped the count
and didn't slow down?
Because they used to have
unabated to the quarterback.
He kept going.
That's why they have
unabated to the quarterback
rules now.
Oh, man, that's messed up.
Go back and look at
when Greek,
that might have been 86
when I think it was Martin for Green Bay.
A late hit.
McMahon, Jim McMahon, Jim McMahon threw the ball was standing there.
He got it.
I'll drive him into the dirt.
I know Jim got up.
I know Jim got up.
Man, you may get up.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It was hurt.
Knock his ass out the game. Jimmy get up. Oh, you were hurt? Yeah, I was hurt. Knocked his ass out of the game.
But you remember, hey,
you remember when Deion and Andre Rising got into it?
Now, hey.
Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan? That's a classic.
Yeah, that was a classic moment.
Andre Johnson and Cortland,
they was, hey, Andre was throwing haymakers.
Yeah, he was hot.
And you know, Dre don't talk now.
Dre's quiet.
Nope, nope, he doesn't.
I done known Dre all my life since he was at Miami High.
Yeah.
I could probably say I done heard Dre talk maybe 10 times.
10 times. I done known him since high school now.
Right.
So Cortland had to say something to do something just like C. gardner johnson did with buddy from the bears
yep buddy from the bears really had to to get people that are normally quiet and don't say
nothing to get up under their skin you got to be really talking some crazy talk man aj green and
then jaylen ramsay oh jaylen ramsay yeah yeah yeah hey hey i think i might have heard A.J. Green talk maybe three times at that.
He don't talk at all.
He quiet.
Quiet.
But you know Jalen talk now.
Jalen going to talk to y'all game.
He going to get up on your skin.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Oh, that's classic.
Oh, Joe.
Spencer Rattler fell in the draft due to the reality show.
It took it to the fifth round for Spencer Rattler to come off the draft board,
drafted by the Saints with a 150 overall pick.
And the decision he made years ago in high school
is to blame for that.
Rattler's participation in Netflix, QB1,
Beyond the Lights,
and how he came off in that topic,
that number of teams was stuck on.
Ian Rappaport said,
Spencer Rattler did a reality show in high school.
It did not make him look great.
It was unbelievable how many different teams
mentioned to me the image of him
in that show and how they can't get
that out of their heads. Albert Breer
said the show came up just about
every conversation about Rattler, even though
the coaches at South Carolina told NFL
teams that he had matured significantly
since then.
You know what? It's hard for me to comment
on that because I didn't i didn't
see the show i'm not sure how the show depicted him as a as a quarterback in high school but
spencer rattler if i'm not mistaken i me as a gm as a scout and you've always told me you i have
to understand the amount of money that these teams are getting ready to invest in these players
so they go back to your past because i mentioned
to you before when it was time for me to get drafted i went second round obviously there
were many red flags because i went to 337 schools just to get to oregon state but i went in the
second round and they went back to my elementary teachers just to talk you know to ask questions
and i'm like really What does that have to do
with me playing the game of football? Because when you turn the film on, you know what you're
getting. When you turn the film on, you know what you're getting. Turn on the film when it comes to
Spencer Rattler. As a team, you know what you're getting. Obviously, the Saints have him now.
And I hope, I hope Spencer Rattler finds a way to make the team, the other 31 teams that pass on him,
pay for that.
I'm not sure when his opportunity
might present itself,
but when it does,
I hope he uses this
as a chip on his shoulder,
uses it as leverage,
uses it as motivation,
whatever it may be,
and turn it into a positive.
It's not an accident, Ocho.
When you fill out a resume,
excuse me, an application,
what do they ask for?
References.
Why do they want that?
Yeah, they want somebody to vouch for you one way or
another. Oh, he's a great, hey, he was
a model, he was a model co-worker,
always on time, very courteous,
very polite, or
he's an
asshole.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Man, that's messed up, man. It is. That's why you have to be careful
like cosigning.
Because
I don't set nobody up on no blind date.
Hey, Shannon, you got any single friends?
Nope.
As a matter of fact, I ain't got no friends.
I said all my friends run rabbits and eat booty out of
garbage. All my friends
dog. So no, I ain't setting you up because guess
what? I set you up, it goes afoul.
Guess what they're going to say? Shannon, you set it up.
You set it up. Yep.
No, find your own man.
And if it goes awry,
it's your fault.
Oh, right. No, hell no.
And I ain't about co-signing?
Nope.
Co-signing me.
If you miss a payment,
who got to pay for that, Ocho?
Yeah.
Or you mess up my credit.
Nah.
Yeah.
If I vouch for you,
if I vouch,
Yeah.
Ain't a whole lot of people.
I'm putting my name behind.
I ain't going to even lie to you, Ocho.
Ain't no sense in me lying to you.
You can get on here and say, oh yeah, I'll be... No, hell nah. You can vouch for people. I'm putting my name behind. I ain't going to even lie to you, Yocho. Ain't no sense in me lying to you. You can get on here and say,
oh yeah, I'll be...
No, hell nah.
You can vouch for me.
I'm good.
I'm good for whatever, man.
I'm good, you know.
You done got better.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Listen, my resume speaks for itself.
If you need references when it comes to me,
I got many of people you can ask.
You see, that's the thing.
Listen, it's about... Hold on. It's about 24,000 of them in the got many people you can ask. Hold on.
It's about 24,000 of them in the chat right now.
They're asking about me.
They need
a little bit more intimate
knowledge of you.
They have
13, 14 years of
knowledge from following me on Twitter.
Listen, I think maybe-
You just told me Twitter wasn't real. You told me social media wasn't real.
That wasn't me. I didn't say that.
So that's real.
I didn't say that.
So everything we see on Twitter-
Wait, wait, wait. Let me tell you what I said.
Yeah, get that.
I said some of the people on social media can give you a perception of a life and you can lie
about who you are.
You can be whoever you want on social media.
How do we know who those people are?
How we know you're not
one of those people?
Because if people on social media
had met me in person
and the way I am on social media
is the exact same way I am in person.
Nothing changes.
How many times do we see you?
When I see you,
I'm going to tell you I love you.
Matter of fact, sometimes I curse. I'm going to say I fucking love you. You got to give me a hug, I'm going to tell you I love you. Matter of fact, sometimes I curse.
I'm going to say I fucking love you.
You got to give me a hug
and I'm going to act like
I've known you for 30 years.
Now, Eddie, I'm sure somebody
in the chat has met me
and I've done this
countless times to people
and I invade their space.
Because if you're going to bother me,
if you're going to bother me,
you're going to take the time
not to bother me.
I'm going to act like we know each other.
How about this?
Because I want that.
I want it to be memorable
because I might not see you again.
How many people thought
they knew Tiger Woods?
Well, nobody
because Tiger Woods
runs with the 1%.
You saw him at the golf tournament.
You saw all this thing.
How well do we really know people?
When it comes down to it
when we strip everything away
and we're not with that person
every single day of their life
and even when you're with that person every day, how well, because we've seen people, well, I didn't know
he was like that. I didn't know he had that side. He had never shown. She had never shown.
So when it comes down to it, Ocho, how well do we really know the people that we think we know?
Well, you know, what's funny is you never, ever, ever really know.
You never know who somebody really is.
Two things.
Until you tell them no.
Until you see them angry.
So you thought you knew that person, then you told them no.
Until you tell them no.
Some of your best friends.
And I know people in the chat, I know you can attest to this.
You never know who somebody is.
I don't care how long you've known them
until you tell them no.
And they forget all the yeses throughout the years.
But that one time you tell them no,
oh, it's a problem.
Until you see them angry.
And so you're true colors every time.
And you add a little alcohol,
add a little alcohol to that,
oh, they'll tell you everything. Well, see,
that's the thing. See, but
what alcohol does is that
it changes your morals. It doesn't
change your character.
You are who you are.
You know,
it breaks down those
inhibitions. Because what you do
while you're drunk, you thought about while you were sober.
Everything that you say while you're drunk, you thought about while you were sober. Everything that you say while you're drunk,
you thought about while you were sober.
Come on.
They don't want that truth.
They don't want that truth, Ocho.
They don't want that truth.
What?
That's what it does.
Because here's the thing, Ocho,
I guarantee you right now,
you and I can go somewhere.
We go in the airport, we're in the mall.
We sign 1,000 autographs each. The. We go in the airport, we're in the mall. We sign a thousand
autographs each. The moment we
don't sign 1,001, assholes.
Shadow Sharper, Chad Johnson,
Ocho Cinco didn't sign my autograph.
But what about the thousand people that we did sign?
I mean,
so... But that was a good one, boy.
That was a good one.
No, it doesn't enhance your character.
Your character is what it is.
It's what it is.
A lot of times people say,
well, he got drunk and he started a fight at the bar.
Right.
No, that's in him.
That's in him.
That's in him.
You are what you are.
Yeah.
You know,
I like that.
The you are what you are
is throughout life in general.
When it came to
dating, for instance,
I would always ask,
I always curiosity about
someone's past.
Because I want to know
because what it lets me know is is if you're
able to do this to x y and z yeah for sure I'm really I'm really yeah I'm really no different
because at some point you know the cycle it repeats itself no matter what so if you do this
with x y z so I have to understand and I have the ability to compartmentalize and manage my expectations. No matter how good the times
are. No matter
how good the times are,
history always
repeats itself.
I don't want to
know you at your
best. I want to see you at your
worst. Because that's when you're
going to reveal who you actually are to me.
Come on now because
see that way if you go back and look at the bible see what did the devil tell god he said you give
job everything look at his family look at the livestock that he had he said when you remove
that hedge from around it because you've been protecting him with and what you gave him
everything for if you remove that he will curse his very maker. So if I give somebody
everything, that doesn't tell
me who she or he
is.
Because that's
what the devil told God. If you remove the head,
Job will curse you.
He said, no, he won't. He said, you can do
everything you want to him, but take his life.
What happened?
Y'all Bible scholars, y'all know what happened.
What did he do?
And he gave it to him tenfold.
Yeah.
So when somebody tells me, oh, I don't want to know how you are at your best.
I need to see you at your worst.
At your worst.
Come on, preacher.
And you wonder, we just had that conversation again about loyalty.
And I told you, and I tell you again, I'm going to say it again for the people in the chat.
Everybody is loyal when there's opportunity and convenience when they meet.
Now, allow the circumstances to change and let's see how loyal that person is.
That's it. Allow the circumstances of
convenience and the opportunity that
you're presenting, allow the
change, and let's see how loyal
that individual is.
All right.
I ain't
telling you.
What you be saying?
I ain't telling you what I know.
I ain't telling you what I heard. I'm telling you what I know. I ain't telling you what I heard.
I'm telling you what I know.
I ain't telling you what I heard. I'm telling you what I know.
Yeah, and that's fact.
That's fact.
Everybody.
I heard a man say the other day,
he said, there's a reason why a sports car, he says, but as you
start to travel,
people will start to fall off.
He say, that's why a sports car has two seats and a bus has 50.
Don't let that go over your head now.
Don't let it go now.
Don't let it go.
Come on now.
Think about it.
I remember when I had, had man I had a boat boot
cool everybody was cool with
Shannon as long as everybody was right here
I didn't have no more than anybody else
I got a little bit more boot
somebody left got a little bit more
somebody left oh he think he better
since when
because now all
of a sudden I don't think it's cool to do
some of the stuff that we were doing.
And I say, you know what?
I want to get my grandmother and my family
out of this environment.
Now I think I'm better?
Yeah.
Oh, in other words, you always felt like this.
This ain't new.
You've been felt like this.
You just needed for a reason for it to come out.
And so now that all of a sudden,
I'm a little better than you in sports,
I'm about to get a scholarship.
I don't do all the other stuff that y'all doing.
Now y'all going to try to flip it on me.
My high school basketball team tried to vote me off the team.
Not for something that I did.
They did a story on me in the Savannah Morning News.
And if y'all don't believe the story, y'all go look it up. They did a story on me in the Savannah Morning News. And if y'all don't believe the story, y'all go look it up.
They did a story on me.
My coach says I stress the team concept.
But if we're a car, Shannon is the motor.
They had a meeting and tried to vote me off the team.
Even my best friend was in on it.
And coach said, no, he didn't say anything.
I said it.
So why y'all mad at him?
You see, as long as we would get the same shine, everything was cool.
Oh, the team, blah, blah, blah, boom, boom, boom, boom.
But the moment the coach said, I stressed the team concept,
but Shannon's the engine.
They voted. Votedanna's the engine. They voted.
Voted.
Ain't called me.
And get what they're saying.
But they can't call you if they're trying to vote you off.
Yeah, we voted you off the team.
How y'all gonna vote me for what?
For what he said?
Damn.
Hey, you was the best player, huh?
Was I? I'm the best player ever come out of glenville come on talk man close oh do what when talk now man they better stop they knew it
i mean god god gave me physical gifts that i didn't take as, as serious, uh,
uh,
because I was so much better than everybody else.
Right.
Once I got to college,
I took it serious,
but yes,
I was the best on the team.
Absolutely.
But it wasn't nothing.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Oh,
Joe,
I was cool.
You know,
I was cool with all,
but as soon as that light got a little bright on shannon yeah man i say but
but that that was the time that i realized that you know what i ain't gonna have a whole lot of
friends because you got to realize in a small town hell y'all in the same home room damn near
from from k through 12 all the way yeah yeah i mean hell we only had 353 students in our school, high school.
My graduating class was 60.
Hell, I knew damn near everybody from five years old all the way to 18.

good. Hey,
I came in by myself.
I ain't no twin. I ain't no
triplet.

so small. It's always been that way.
Always been that way. I don't know what they're
thinking. We ain't gonna be
your friend no more. I lose
a friend by a dog. Why you think I got three dogs, four dogs?
I keep it moving.
I like it.
I prefer them anyway.
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.
You will never be able to change or grow
through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say,
hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move
without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's
inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being, and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most 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's so many stories out there,
and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.
Listen 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,

In 2024 sixth round pick,

fourth round pick became Caden Bullock.
Houston made that pretty good.
Very. Especially
with Will Anderson
and Tank Dale. Tank Dale special.
Yeah. Remember Damian Pierce was running
that thing until his ankle got hurt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Damian was running that thing. Yeah, he was.
Yeah, he was. But Tank, but Will
Anderson and Tank was, I'm talking about special.
Special. Special.
Yeah.
Ooh, they got a rost over there, boy.
They did.
I'm talking about offensively.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
With the addition of Diggs, Tank Daly be back.
Nico Collins.
Tank was killing before he got hurt.
You got to keep them feet moving around the power.
He going to know now.
Keep them feet moving.
You know what I got?
And Nico. And Dalton Sch now. Keep them feet moving. You know what I got? And Nico.
And Dalton Schultz.
Yep.
Man.
The Dallas Cowboys have yet to feel their running back need,
but the return of Ezekiel Elliott looks more and more likely.
Jerry Jones asked Friday whether or not drafting a running back
during the first three rounds was more about the draft
and falling or the Cowboysboys comfort level with what they have
on the roster. First of all, the draft
is not over. That's the thought.
And it's a long time before running back was taken
off today's draft. But we're also
keenly interested in seeing what the future might
look like for Zeke. Jones said
he still believes Zeke
can be a starting level running back.
You like it?
Yeah.
I thought, look,
clearly Zeke wasn't giving you
$15 million worth of production.
But what he could do
is that around the goal line,
he could bull his way
into the end zone.
On third and fourth and short,
he could keep your offense
on the field.
So there was value
zeke always had value but not 15 million dollars worth of it right right right he's a leader the
guys like playing with him uh guys like blocking for him so i would like to see him i'd like to
see him come back yeah i would too listen he was he beloved also not just by
not just by his teammates the community the fans yeah obviously i think they were they were sad to
see him go and he had that he had to go obviously you know how the nature of the business is very
cutthroat it's very cutthroat not one to pay obviously so now you come back on what i like
to call the hometown discount because they're not going So now you come back on what I like to call a hometown discount
because they're not going to give you
what they feel you're worth,
but they're going to give you
what they think you deserve.
What you will accept.
Yeah, that too, what you will accept.
But listen, it's very difficult right now,
especially we understand
how teams are doing the quarterback position
and it's not as valued as it once was,
being that now the game
has changed tremendously
where everything is all about
putting the ball in the air.
And plus,
and plus,
Ocho,
the thing is that
Dallas,
you know,
Dallas selling point is like,
you know,
there's no state taxes here.
So you factor that in
on a hundred million dollar contract.
And so you're going to keep at least 10%. So that in on a $100 million contract. Oh, yeah. And so, you're going to keep
at least 10%.
So, that's at least $10 million
in your pocket.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, Ocho, passenger on board
the Spirit Airline flight
from Atlanta to Newark
were horrified to see a liquid
spilling out of a plane laboratory.
I saw that.
Mm-hmm.
So, I'm trying to see.
This is what people, listen.
This is how things get misconstrued.
They talk about a liquid.
Unless that's coffee.
Listen, that ain't coffee.
What that is, is somebody,
somebody in the bathroom
took toilet paper
and flushed it down the toilet
when it clearly says do not flush any items
and they cause it to overflow.
And they cause it to overflow.
Whoa, what's your thing?
That ain't nothing but water
and whoever posted that video
trying to act like,
oh, it's a liquid.
The toilet over flooded.
It happens at everybody's house
when you have somebody over
and they put too much tissue
in your shit
and they clog everything up.
Nah, don't...
You ain't coming to...
Hey,
you ain't using the bathroom
in my house.
Go to the gas station.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Come on now.
Come on.
You don't let people
do number two in your house?
Nah, I know about it.
Unc, you can't do that.
What you come to my house for
to go to the bathroom?
You should have left
to use the bathroom
before you left home.
Unc, that's a part of, that's a part of human nature.
You don't know.
That's why I don't feed people at my house.
Hunk, you can't do that.
You can't do that.
You can't.
Go buy some cookies at the convenience store.
I wonder how the chat feel about that.
If people come over to your house?
Do y'all have a problem with people coming to your house and doing number two?
Oh, yeah.
At my place, I have air freshener.
I got baby wipes.
Yeah, I got all that, too.
That's for me, though.
No, that's for the people that are visiting your place.
Ain't nobody coming over but Ash and Jordan.
Okay, well, Ash and Jordan might have to do number two.
You need air freshener. You need
baby wipes. You need, make sure
you have heated toilet seats. What about the guest house?
I didn't go to the guest house.
Why would they be in the guest house?
You got a guest house?
I do.
Well, you got a different kind of money over there, boy.
I got a guest house, God.
Nah, I'm about to get up off it.
I'm about to get up off it.
Okay.
Okay.

A-R-V-A-R-K.
A-Aardvark.
A-R-V-A-R-K.
It's A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K.
Aardvark.
So I spelled it right.
No, you didn't. It's A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K. Oh, I didn't I spelled it right? No, you didn't.
It's A-A.
Oh, I didn't add the extra A.
No, you didn't.
Oh, come on.
Man, you really going to, come on, man.
Yeah, that's kind of how spelling works.
You know you got to spell it correctly.
But I just didn't add the extra A.
I forgot it was two A's in Aardvark, but I spelled it right.
That's kind of how people misspell words. They kind of forget that it's, you know, something goes in there or something should have been taken.
Can I get like a half a point, like a little asterisk by that one?
No, but I'll tell you what I will do.
I'll give you this other easy word that you can get.
Easy?
Aardvark is not easy because if it was easy, I would have said two A's.
And I know nobody in the chat knew that either.
Just because you didn't say that,
that doesn't mean it's not either.
How about this, Ocho?
Okay.
Accommodation.
Accommodation?
Yes.
A-C-C-O-M-O-D-A-T-I-O-N.
Come on, now.

Accommodations.
Two C's, two N's.
That's what I just said.
No, you didn't.
I'm looking at it right now.
I said.
Nope, you didn't.
You want to put it to the chat?
Ask the chat.
Chat.
Did Ocho spell accommodations correctly? A-C-C-O-M-M-O-D-A-T-I-O-N
Accommodations
They said, sorry Ocho

Oh, I only said one M

Well, you know, some of the letters are doubled.
All right.
Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
I see you doing me like that because I'm black.
You're doing me like that because I'm black. You're doing me like that because I'm black.
So now I'm 0 for 2.

I'm going to ask Attorney General...
I'm Leon Nafak, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Here we go again. You ready?
Yep.
We got him on the ropes, Chad.

What do you mean what year he was drafted in?
Okay, hold on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

In the Montreal Olympics
So
I'm gonna say
77 78 77 I don't know going to say 77, 78,
77. I don't know.
Which one? 78?
I'm going 77. I don't know.
Okay. Drafted by who?
No, that's not what you said. You said
the year.
Well, he was drafted
in the NBA what year by what
NBA team? No, that's not what you said.
That's not what you said.
You said what year.
Am I correct?
You don't want to say that.
I'm asking for the team.
What's the answer?
Is 77 the answer, Ocho?
No, you're not listening.
You need to complete the answer.
Complete the answer.
Chat, chat.
Did he say no? Chat had nothing to do with this. Complete the answer. Chat, chat. Did he say?
No, the chat had nothing to do with this.
I asked you what year.
You said what year.
I told you the year.
You didn't say the team.
You did not say the team.
Now, is 77 the correct answer?
Yes or no?
I need the team.
I need the team for the complete answer.
Y'all can't get with the computer.
I told you what I was going to say.
I need the team.
Group of hospitals.
I need the team. I need the team.
Telling me the year without telling me the year without the team name.
That makes no sense.
You didn't ask me the team.
Well, obviously you would want to give it to you.
You want to give the team.
No, no, no.
When you ask me, when you ask me who the first foreign born player,
you didn't say and tell me the team he was drafted to.
You say, which one?
You say what year
was
at the time he was Bruce Jenner,
Caitlyn Jenner, drafted
into the NBA. I said
77. Clearly that's correct.
Okay, if I said into the NBA,
so obviously I need the team
they were drafted to. No, you don't. That's not what
you said. You know what?
You get 50%. You get 50%.
You get 50%.
Chat,
y'all,
chat,
weigh in.
Am I right or wrong?
Who's right on this one?
If I ask you
what year someone
was drafted into the NBA,
I need the team
they were drafted to.
That's not what you're saying.
You only asked the year.
Listen, I need a team.
I breathe for four.
I breathe for five.
I breathe for five.
I'm telling you.
I done caught you.
Nah.
Nah.
You cheating.
Somebody in the chat said,
you need to change your hat.
They spelled it wrong.
I mean, it's supposed
to be a champion with
an A. That's the point.
Ocho, I was so...
Ocho, I told you about the 76
Olympics. I told you what Olympics
were held in Montreal. I said
it had to be...
Come on, Ocho. Don't do me like that.
But what I needed was the team
that they were drafted to.
Anybody can guess because it's so obvious.
If the Olympics were in 76, obviously you're going to say 77.
That's what I did.
But here's the thing.
Wait a minute.
To complete the answer, I would need to know what team they were drafted to.
No, you wouldn't.
Because it's easy to say the year. You should have asked.
I did.
I said NBA. You said, in what year
did Caitlyn
Jenner get drafted to the
NBA? That's what you said. Right.
You didn't say the team.
Oh my God. In the NBA,
I would still need the team.
No, you wouldn't.
No.
I got it.
Hey, we're going to put this to the chat, okay?
Hey, back in the chat.
Did Shannon get the question right?
It's a really simple yes or no.
No.
No.
And if the chat is not on my side after you cheat me all these times with these spelling
words...
I can't do.
Don't give me my bonus question.
Don't give me my bonus question.
I don't even have a bonus question.
Okay.
I'll give you one.
Nope, it's three for five.
Hold on.
Hold on.
No, no, no, no.
I got a bonus question for you.
You ready?
Yeah, yeah.
Don't get scared.
You ain't got no bonus question.
I got one right now.
I'm ready.
Nope, nope.
I ain't let you make up nothing.
You scared.
You scared.
You scared.
Three for five.
I won again.
Hold on, Ocho.
We got a picture.
We put the picture up.
Who is that?
Who is that?
Who is that?
I don't know who it look like, Ocho.
That's you?
Yeah, I see that.
Yeah, okay.
Boy, you ripped up, man.
When your boy say he was hell when he was well.
Yeah, you was hell when he was well, huh? Yeah, you better. Boy, I was fatter than frog here.
Boy, y'all better stop playing with me.
Y'all better stop playing with me. Now, see, I was nephew back then.
Hey, y'all better stop it. Y'all better stop it.
Hey, what year was that? What's that, 83?
That was 83?
That was the 96 Pro Bowl.
Okay, that's a long time ago.
You don't look nothing like that no more.
That was, hold on, 96?
Nigga, why don't you let the baby cuss up here?
That's 30 years ago.
But you see, that's what 230 looked like.
Anybody can have abs at 180,
190, like you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I ain't never been
190. I ain't never been
180. I ain't never been
185. I played my
career. I was 6'3", 210.
I'm not sure where you got that from.
Hey, I don't want
to tell about what kind of shorts I had on, but you know, your boy was? Hey. Yeah. I don't want to tell about what kind of shorts I had on,
but you know,
your boy,
I was all wet on, Joe.
See,
look at my chain.
They done got my chain.
They stole my chain.
How?
They stole your chain
at the Pro Bowl?
They stole it
when they stole it
last year.
Oh,
so you still had your chain
from way back then?
Damn, that's crazy.
My brother gave me that chain.
Damn.
That's messed up.
But you see you want to show up?
Oh, you see you want to show up?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, you weren't ripped up like me,
but you...
Tore up like a Trump tax return.
Shredded.
Look at that waist.
Look at the waist.
You want to see what a 32-inch waist looked like on a 230-pound man?
Waist disappeared like a Clinton email.
It was gone.
Okay.
Gone.
Okay.
I will, I will, I will.
Like three weeks before, I got in a fight with a sword.
I lost cuts everywhere.
You know what I'm saying, Ocho?
I lost it, Ocho.
I had it there for a second.
Cuts everywhere.
Hey, man.
You saw a picture of me last show, right?
You notice how I had 10 abs showing clear as day?
10.
10. Ocho, you clear as day. 10.
10.
Ocho, you 190.
10.
How about you, Ocho?
I'm just telling you.
Right now?
I can't let y'all see no more.
Y'all already see,

Your boy was hard.
All right, pause.

We got 2,300 votes.
Did I get it right?
I can't see.

We're going to see it.
Put it up on the screen so he can see it.
Come on, Chad.
I hope you all ain't letting me down now.
Come on, Chad.
83.
I'm trying to figure out who the 17% is.
Deshanna, get the question right.
83% says yes.
17% says no.
You know what?
You know what?
You see the 80?
You know what?
That might not be real.
I'm not agreeing with that.
Ocho, I'm just trying to figure out.
You asked me, what year did Caitlyn Jenner get drafted into the NBA?
Once I said 77, you said, now tell me the team.
Yeah, well, wouldn't you want to complete the full answer?
I completed it.
Let me ask you a question.
Yes.
Don't you think the chat wanted to hear what team Caitlyn Jenner was drafted to?
Because I'm sure they had no idea.
Hell, I didn't even have no idea.
You didn't know.
I'm sure they wanted to know. You, I ain't even had no idea. So I'm sure they wanted to know.
You didn't know. What you call him?
Oh, man, man.
Something ain't right.
You've been cheating, man.
How am I cheating?
I don't know. You be looking around and
you made me cover
my eyes and all that.
You be looking at this.
You hit me with the Marlon Brando.
You know, Marlon Brando used to be
doing scenes. They used to have the cue cards
stuck up on the
walls all around. They still do.
For real? So he can remember
his lines.
Oh, no, man.
Something ain't right, man.
Something ain't right.
It's cool.
But I left out one letter.
I spelled the words right.
I left out one letter.
And, oh, it is wrong.
It's wrong.
It's wrong.
Hey, you forgot to tell me the team
that she was drafted to.
I mean, he, I mean,
what do I say?
I don't want to be disrespectful.
Is it he or she?
Nah, don't start me to lie.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know how they refer to it,
so I prefer to just,
I don't say anything.
Right, okay, okay, okay, okay.
I mean, whatever,
whatever they identify as,
I just want to be respectful.
I mean, I don't know.
I want to be respectful, that's all.
Yeah. That's why, hey, that's why I don't say anything. I don't know. I want to be respectful. That's all. Yeah.
That's why I don't say anything.
I don't know.
I've never asked anybody how they'd like to be referred to.
I just call them their name, and I just keep it moving.
That way, I don't run into any problems, Ocho.
Ocho, it's time for our last segment of the night,
and you know it's our fan favorite, Q&A.
I got to use the bathroom real quick.'s our favorite fan favorite. Q and A. Well,
I got to use the bathroom real quick.
Bathroom right in here.
Yeah,
man.
Man,
Ocho tried to cheat.
I want to know that 17%.
I want to know the 17% that thought Ocho could tag on.
Okay.
And what team was he drafted to?
But I,
I didn't complete the answer.
He asked a very simple question,
a very specific question.
What year did Caitlyn Jenner get drafted into the NBA?
That's what he asked.
I said, well, he won the 76 Olympics in Montreal.
I'm assuming 77.
Okay, what team?
Then he added on, what team did he get
drafted to
somebody
yeah he said Caitlin so I
regurgitated
what he said he said that so I said
Caitlin obviously
man Ocho be trying to cheat.
Nah, man.
Ocho, I got three out of five, Ocho.
After going five for five,
you should feel good. After going five
for five two nights in a row, the stunt
made the miss two.
You're going five for five because you are
cheating and finding loopholes
in the system. How?
That's it.
Looking at the chat
sometime the chat
and not knowing
and they just
they blurting out the answer
write it out
and you just
you peek at the chat
then look away
and pretend like you don't know
what's going on
and then say it.
Ojo, I promise you
when it comes to the sports
the sports stuff
Ojo, this trivia, I told
you I plugged it into the wall and went on super
high speed.
All right.
Dre Phillips said, oh, that LePort
did you put that blue diamond in there?
Vertical activity, horizontal, acute,
isolates, worth it all.
Worth the wait.
Nah, bro.
That, hey, you know, that's just
a lot of love, tender care.
You know, the right mixture.
We got that thing.
Dre, appreciate the support.
Glad you were able to receive it, bro.
All right. Scott Allen said, hey,
can I get a shout out for my brother Roddy?
Huge Nightcap fan. Ocho, are
you and Ocho are his favorite?
Ocho is his favorite wide receiver.
Question for both. If you had to start your defense with one,
J.J. Watt,
D-Wear, Dwight Freedy,
who you picking?
Happy birthday, Ronnie.
Your brother, big brother Scott. I don't know
if he's big brother or little brother.
Happy birthday. Thank you for supporting us,
Ronnie, watching Nightcap.
Question. If you had to start a defense, who you start with, watching Nightcap. Question.
If you had to start a defense,
who would you start with?
JJ or D-Ware
or Dwight Freeney?
I mean, I like Dwight Freeney.
The greatest spin move off the...
The greatest spin move...
Oh, they had that spin.
The greatest combo of moves,
he had a bag.
You know how Kyrie has a bag?
Yeah.
Off the edge, Dwight Freeney had a bag of special moves,
with his best one being that spin.
Yeah, that spin cycle.
Yeah, he'll pull you inside, and as soon as you lean,
spin right up out of there.
He can do it the opposite way.
He'll lean you out and spin right back inside.
Obviously,
nothing against T.J. Watt.
J.J.
Great player.
J.J., excuse me,
J.J. Watt,
great player,
great player,
but just for me,
preference for this specific question,
regardless of stats,
I ain't trying to hear all that.
I like Dwight Freeman.
I think I would take J.J.
Because there was a stretch there.
Oh, yeah.
He was on.
Yeah, he was on that.
He was on that L.T. Reggie type.
Yeah, yeah.
Where it wasn't even close
who the best defensive player was.
Right.
It wasn't nobody else
was even in the discussion.
Yes, sir.
So all these great players
did well, helped my Broncos win another Super Bowl. Dwight Freeman played against him. So, all these great players. D-Wear helped my Broncos win
another Super Bowl. Dwight Freeney played
against him. You're right, Ocho. The best
spin move ever.
Sap, Scott,
Scott or Scott Sapp? But anyway,
Funkin85, love the show. It's
my first time catching y'all live. Recently
lost my grandmother last year. I know you
and Ocho were close with y'all. What's
something that has stuck with you,
you all,
from time to time?
Everything.
Yeah.
Because I was,
I mean,
go ahead, Ocho.
Yeah.
For me,
the one thing that stuck with me,
financial discipline.
It's never left.
That's where it all started.
That is where it all started.
Now, there's some other areas that she
has tried to instill in me and those are coming along slower than you know as opposed to but when
it came to that financial discipline and when most people calling me cheap and or some calling
me frugal that stuck from from way back then and I think to me, I think that's my best trait,
my best asset.
I think how you treat people.
Even if somebody did my grandmother wrong,
she never held it against them.
She never brought it up.
She just always treats,
she always tell me,
say, boy, treat people,
you'll never know who you'll ask
to hand you your last glass of water.
And so I always remember
that i always
try to i've always tried to treat people nice because you never know um if you'll need that
person again but that's not a reason to treat someone that should just be common decency right
hey how you doing oh i mean i don't really have a reason to be a jerk to someone, especially just coming in contact with them. Hey, how you doing? Yeah, I'm fine. How are you? Great day. Yeah, it is i'm i'm very simplistic in that
treat people nice i treat people how i would want to be treated because i don't oh i wasn't i mean
we weren't always ex-professional athletes we weren't always celebrities i always think
if the shoe was on the other foot. Mm-hmm. Even if I don't sign,
how you doing?
How was your day?
I'm in a hurry.
Bro, I got to go catch this flight.
Bro, I'm sorry.
Next time.
Yeah.
I just think there's a way
that you can talk
and treat people regardless.
And I'm a firm believer.
I'll never believe
because of my status
that I'm better than you.
But I absolutely believe
I can do my job better than you can do yours.
Hmm.
I like that.
Faye said, hey, Shannon Ocho, does the NFL have mentorship program
to help the new players transition post-draft?
Are players referred to money managers, mental health services, housing, etc.?
If not, would you or Ocho consider mentoring new players?
No. They have a rookie
symposium. They have everything. They do.
They have a rookie symposium. They have resources to everything.
They do. They have a rookie symposium.
They have mental health
providers that's on staff
that you can go talk to.
They got psychiatrists
on staff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everything.
Look, I would have thought by now the NFL would have reached out
considering that, you know, being a seventh-round draft pick, Ocho,
starting out on special teams, working my way up,
having the success that I had as a team,
and then, you know, getting a gold jacket.
I thought at some point in time here, it's 20 years I've been retired,
that they would ask me to speak
to the rookie at the symposium.
That never happened.
So now I'm good.
Guys, if guys want to reach out
to me personally,
I ain't got no problem.
None whatsoever.
Now, that's what most of them do
right there, what you just said.
They reach out personally
just based on what they know
and what they've seen in the past
and how I've always moved.
So, little small tidbits
here and there.
Yes.
And most of the time with me,
they ask about
how to deal with
the mothers of their kids.
That's more so.
It's not even the financial stuff.
It's, man,
how the hell was you ever
able to navigate
without doing things
the traditional way?
And, God damn, you make it work. You make it look so easy. man how the hell was you ever able to navigate without doing things the traditional way and god damn
you make it work
you make it look so easy
and I
listen I say
I tell them all the same thing
boy listen
you gotta make right
you gotta make right
with that individual
you have a child from
because they will make your life
a living hell
yeah
I
normally guys
when they reach out I was like you want me to lie to you you want me to tell
you the truth but no I don't tell
me the truth I said okay right
because sometimes
you know people
don't really want to hear the truth
they don't want to hear resemblance of the truth
hmm
