Welcome to Sacred Lessons.
Listen to Sacred Lessons on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Hey, hey, you know, it's funny on?
Yeah.
When you talk about the speech impediment thing, it's like, I don't think I have a speech impediment thing.
I think I have a problem is I get anxious, like when we're talking.
You know how fast I start talking.
You have a cursing thing.
Yeah.
Me?
Me?
Yeah.
No, it ain't talking about me.
You're like you.
Right.
I don't think cursing it is the issue.
I don't think, is that a, is there, is there a word for that?
If you, if you curse a lot when you,
yeah, but I tell you off the camera.
Okay, okay, okay.
But I do have a, hey, I start talking fast on.
And then you know what I do?
Yeah, I don't know if you notice it.
I say the same thing twice before I even start the sentence.
Mm-hmm.
Like, I don't know.
It's weird.
It's like I get all anxious.
Yeah.
Uh, Ocho, you guys going to finally get a start.
Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka revealed that James Winston.
Hey.
Dr. Russell Wilson will start as quarterback in week 11 against the Packers with Jackson Dart on the sideline.
Man, pass over Russ, who was the start of the season, then went to number two.
Yes.
Dart gets hurt.
Russ goes to numbers.
He's numbers two still.
Yes.
James leapfrogged.
Oh, Joe, what, what do you think?
What do you think about this?
I think the coaches, obviously, the interim coach is trying to get a spark out of the offense.
They've seen enough, I'm assuming from Russell Wilson being the starter when Jackson Dart went in
and then hearing the reaction from the crowd and the offense really not being able to get going.
They want something new.
They want to see what James Winston can get in there and do and see if they can have somewhat of a spark.
We all know he is one that's liked by everybody and he can have flashes of brilliance,
on the field.
The only thing with James Winston, all we need is a little consistency.
Can we get consistency out of you week in and week out and give us a chance?
Listen, I think their playoff chances are probably out the door.
But can you keep our team and head above water and let us compete, you know, until the end of the season?
Well, I'm sure Jack and God will come back, what, maybe what, in two weeks on?
Probably so.
I mean, he's going to, well, he's out this week.
Maybe, maybe, maybe they missed, maybe give him two weeks on, Joe.
the week because like I said since the preseason this is the fourth time now we know he's been
checked for a concussion yeah go ahead go ahead Joe uh so this is uh jamison first time uh getting
getting action during the season yeah this is jamis first time uh starting for the giants yeah
i think he played he played a little bit he played i think one preseason game he played in one
preseason game played really well um but like ocho said james's problem has always been consistent
consistency.
Look, he's the number one pick in the draft.
He won the Heisman trophy as a freshman.
He led his team to a national championship.
So we know he has the talent to play,
but he's been turnover prone far too much.
We saw last year he threw for almost 500 yards,
but it was the turnovers that really cost this team of victory.
Right, right.
Tremendous highs, incredible lows.
So he just has to find a way to be consistent.
And if he can be consistent, that gives
him a chance to be successful
and it also gives his team
a chance to be successful.
But I want to say
I'm surprised but I don't
think I am. I don't think I'm surprised
by this move because
Hey, I know one thing. I know one thing about
this move. It's going to be exciting
because ain't no telling what the hell for it to happen.
Anytime James is in there, ain't no
telling. And I can't wait for anything.
Five and five, Ocho. Ain't that
subway got the five and five?
Yeah, no.
Five touchdowns, five and a seven.
No, no.
What I was talking about when you left,
I say, if he's just consistent,
Ocho, the man's the number one picking the draft for a reason.
He won a husband trophy,
let a team to a national champion.
She can throw that ball, boy.
Yes.
Hey, hey, he can't turn it over, though, Ocho.
Yeah, you're never going to be that great
that you can overcome their amount of turnovers that he have.
Remember last year, Ocho, what was that,
a Thursday night game against the Broncos?
He threw for damn to 500.
But it was the president.
pick six. It was the three turnovers
that ended up undoing the
great job that he had done. Remember Jerry, Judy
goes back, has 235
yards receiving. He and James was
cutting up. Yeah. And then
James, they started
housing him. Yeah.
Oh, Joe,
the last guy we had on Casey
Conception, and there are some people in the chat
kind of making fun of him. They're like, man, let everybody
else talk. In a situation like
that, I had already
gotten brief that
he has a speech impediment.
And when he gets nervous or he gets anxious, he sturders, stutters.
So that's why you heard him repeat himself a lot.
But if you notice, Ocho, when we first started, he gives us one word answers and go.
And so instead of go and let you ask him something, let Joe ask something,
I said, let me get him comfortable.
Let me get him relaxed.
Once he gets relaxed, he'll slow down.
He'll feel more comfortable because right, every time he talks, he thinks people are judging him.
So if you think somebody's judging him, what you're going to do?
I'm not gonna talk on be reclusive.
Right, right.
I'm gonna say as little as possible, yeah, you're right.
And then he gonna clam up.
But if you notice, once we got him comfortable,
we started talking about cooking.
We started talking about things that he liked
and he feel comfortable with.
You see, I opened up and you couldn't even tell.
So that's why I kind of took the approach that I took.
And a lot of times, yeah, sometimes I'll let Ocho,
because if it's somebody like I know Ocho knows,
I'll let Ocho lead it off.
But in this situation, I just felt,
Instead of going back, ping pong, you know, tennis and ping pong back and forth, I just felt let me start it.
Let me get him comfortable.
Somebody that had a speech impediment still talks with a list and have a heavy cloakal southern dialect.
Let me make him comfortable.
And if we can get him comfortable, we can get him to open up because it's hard to have an interview if a guy just continuously gives us one word answers.
So that's kind of why the approach that we took the approach that we took the night with this gentleman.
But he did great.
Look forward for him to coming back.
And once we started talking about, hey, he started cooking Valentine's Day.
Yeah, he got to hope.
I just hope you got done what you need to get done before you cook that.
Because you put them heavy potatoes and steak of the system.
She's going right to sleep.
But I'm not, I can't say that I'm surprised that James is getting to start
because you know why?
Russ is not going to be there next year.
they've already seen what Russ can do.
Let's see if James can give us that spark.
Because that's what Jackson Dark did.
Jackson Dark came in and gave him a spark, Ocho.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, let's see, let's see, because they saw Russ come in
and the offense just went in the tank,
the defense went in the tank, everything just went to hell in a handbasket.
Let's see if James can give us a spark
like he's done so many times before.
He did it in New Orleans for a while.
He did it in Cleveland last year.
so let's see if you can give us a spark.
Hey, y'all, it's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant.
And I'm Michael F. Liorio.
And I'm Laquan Jones.

I just want to remind everyone how good Rishi Rice
was last season.
And there's three healthy games.
He was the wide receiver two in fantasy.
I think Rishi Reich just goes off this week.
The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice.
This side, touchdown!
Remandre Stevens is my sleeper this week.
This is a match-out where I think I can slide in Stevenson
into my flex position and he could deliver double-digit points this week.
Drake takes the snap, hands it off.
Remodry running it right and running into the end zone.
Touchdown!
It's never too late to turn your fantasy season around.

Good luck with that is a skateboarding podcast that is part cultural record, part news brief, mostly
group therapy, and a place to talk about the past, present, and future of women and gender
expansive skateboarding.
This week, me and my co-host, Nora Vascenzelos, and Alex White, we have Fabiana Delphino
on the show, a professional skateboarder from Florida.
whose grit was forged in a family of athletes.
Tune in to hear how she broke into the boys' club,
what it takes to be pro,
and why just being grateful you're here
shouldn't be the price of entry.
Maybe the industry thinks that we just started skating five years ago
because that's when they maybe started paying attention.
It's a no-fluff conversation about putting in the years,
stacking clips and receipts,
and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up.

Wow.
Which is why one of the most revolutionary acts that we can do as peoples just breathe.
Next to the wound is their gifts.
You can't even find your gifts unless you go through the wound.
That's the hard thing.
You think, well, I'm going to get my guess.
I don't want to go through all that.
You've got to go through the wounds you're laughing.

Oh, Joe, Eagles quarterback Jahe Alexander has stepped away from football in his way in retirement as according to Diana Rossini.
Alexander is 28 in his eighth professional season and is first away from the Packers, the team that drafted him 18th out of Louisville in 2018.
On November 1st, the Ravens traded Alexander and a 227th round pick to the Eagles for a 2026, 6th round pick.
Alexander played just two games for Baltimore
before being moved tallying five tackles.
Ocho, what's going on?
You know, the injuries, is it desire?
What do you think?
A combination?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm going to be honest with you.
When it comes to someone that I've always enjoyed watching,
like Jail Alexander,
understanding what he brings to the table as a defender,
obviously I think injuries have hampered his career a little bit.
And kind of de-reled everything.
So I don't know what's going on with him mentally,
but it has to be something of that nature.
Because it's getting an opportunity to play in the NFL
and understanding that the NFL stands for not for long.
You only get so much time.
You know, and each year is so precious as years go by.
It has to be something going wrong there.
Maybe it may be, maybe it's personal, whatever it may be.
I don't want to speculate.
But if he needs to step away from the game to get his mind right,
to get his personal issues right,
so be it. I see that fit because that does come first. Football comes second to whatever you
have going on in your life. So I hope he rectified that situation, you know, expeditiously.
So he can get back on the field and we can get that same Jay Alexander we once saw down
in Green Bay because he's a great talent. He's a great talent and a great fit for where he is now.
So I hope he comes back at some point and is able to contribute defensively when those boys make
that playoff push. Well, yeah. What year? What year? What is this?
for him. How many years have been
eight?
Eight. Yeah. He's only
28 years of age. Hey, D.Bs play
a long time, Joe. They can
play a long time.
If,
if, um,
you got to, the thing is that you start to get older,
it's a, it's a mental ground because you know
stuff. I mean, you know, you know, you know, you know,
out of study film. You understand down and distance. You understand
a position on the field.
You understand, you know, you understand tendencies.
route combinations, wire receiver, how they lined up, Ocho.
So you know all of that.
But boy, this here got to be strong because they get so monotonous.
You hear the same thing.
That's what really, you know, for me, that's what you kind of drove me away is that the monotony of it.
I just could, maybe if I went to a different offense and I had to apply myself.
But, but he's dealing with a knee injury.
And there's, Joe, you know this.
Ocho, you end up an injury.
So, you know, Joe, you know this.
When you're injured, there ain't nothing like, there's,
nothing worse than being injured
and trying to go play and then play
at a level that people are accustomed
to you playing at. Right.
Because if the mind ain't right,
the grind can't be tight.
No, sir. Because that's what the NFL, that's what
pro sports is. It's a grind.
Yeah. And if you hear LeBron, LeBron don't ever say
anything about his body. He always talks about
his mind. He said, as long as I can keep
my mind sharp, I can play
23, 24, 25 season.
Yeah. Because
some injuries pile up, bro.
They pile up and you can't, you can't go out there and be the person who you, you know,
you really want to be because of these injuries, these knickknacks that you may have.
And it hinders your game, man.
It hinders your game.
And it takes a love away.
It takes a love away.
It takes a love and passion away.
And that's why a lot of guys retire earlier.
They quit playing.
It's not that they don't like football or basketballs because the grind has become too much.
Yeah.
Especially if you, Ocho.
If you're an elite player
Oh yeah
If you're a special team player
Or a player that you know
You're the fourth corner
Mm-hmm
There ain't no expectation
But see once you're here
Like a penny hardaway
We got we got penny up here
I'm like man I can't do this
Yeah
You can't
Jaya Alexander was an all pro
He's a pro bowl player Ocho
Yeah
And he got
And I'm like Ocho something ain't right
I told you I said
Ocho something ain't right
You can look at him and tell
I'm like man I don't watch this man
I watch this man coming to the league
He's one of the better corners
He looked like a shell of himself
Yeah
And when you watch yourself
If you watch yourself on tape
Because sometimes you might not know it
Until you see it
Because we get a lot of times
Don't show people like I ain't say that
I ain't say that
Ryan the tape
Yeah
Oh my goodness
That's me
I said that
Yeah
So you don't see yourself play
In real time
You've got to go back and watch the tape
And you're looking like
Then film don't lie
At all
The reason why film don't lie
The film don't know how much money you make it
It don't know if you black
If you're white
You went to Notre Dame
You went to Savannah State
That's all it does
It captures what it's being focused on
Man what?
And you can't
Man I did this, I did that
Let me hit that rewind button.
Tell me which one you?
Hey, hey.
What, what, Joe, Joe, what did you say you did?
Okay, here we go, listen.
Hey, let's watch it.
Hey, it ain't nothing worse.
It ain't nothing worse than that game.
Boy, you get in there and coach got that clicker.
And he rewinded in this same play.
And you're like, oh, my God.
Yes.
And it's not like watching yourself on film, bro,
and you look like some slough stir fry out there.
Yes.
Yes.
Nothing like that.
Hey, look, I used to be in the same.
in the game thinking like,
well, I cannot look like no trash on film tomorrow.
I can't do it.
I can't do it, Joe.
I ain't going to miss my assignments.
Yeah.
We got to win this game because if we lose this game,
they're going to show this film.
Lord, please let us, hey, John,
please make a play let us come back.
Yeah.
Because I don't want nobody to see.
The boy, I was, I was terrible.
Hey, Sharpe, what you do on this play?
No, I think I got it.
Nothing.
Nothing.
That's what Sean did on this play.
Absolutely.
Totally.
nothing. That's what Sharp did.
But it's tough. It's tough
when you've been a really good
player for a period of time
and then injuries won't allow you
to be that. Yeah.
People don't know you're injured.
Let me tell you something else.
They don't give a damn if you're injured. All they know
is they see Alexander on the back of that jersey.
They saw Johnson on the back of that jersey.
They saw Ocho Sinko on the back of that jersey.
They don't give a damn about you got an ankle or a toe
or knee or hip or back.
And give us a damn about that.
You out there, I'm expecting you to make the same plays
that I've seen you make time and time again
for the last five, 10 years.
Make them now.
Yes, sir.
Mm, absolutely right.
Your teammates have the same expectations.
And they put that, your teammates put that pressure on you.
Hey, you're gonna be, hey, you'll be good to go Sunday, right?
Damn, dude, it's Tuesday.
Hey, hey, you know, hey.
And then the coaches, you know, we're going to put the game playing.
Now we rely on you because we got you in the game playing.
You all ain't have me in the game playing for I got hurt.
Now you got me in the game playing now, Ocho.
Yeah.
Now I'm in the game playing.
But it's tough.
I've been in Jayaer's shoes where I've been injured and knowing I'm hurt,
but all they see is 84 and they see sharp on the back of that jersey.
You know, but with these expectations don't change.
Oh, Cho, it's safe to say a lot of people in Dallas
wanted Nico Harrison out of the Maverick General Manager,
including franchise former majority.

Mark Cuban.
Maverick's owner, Patrick Dumont,
reportedly did not make the decision on his own.
Amid the Maver's woe for three and a start
to the 2025 season,
DeMont reportedly lent his ear to Cuban
to hear his grievances about the organization.
From the excerpt from the excerpt from the athletic,
Cuban, who still owned 27% of the team, was known to be frustrated with Harrison for freezing him out after the sale and not consulting him on the choice to trade Luca.
League sources said he made his case to Dumont over the last several months that Harrison was steering the franchise in the wrong direction.
Cuban also reportedly in a closed-door meeting with Dumont and team president Rick Welts the day before Harrison was pried, according to an NBA insider Mark Stein.
Ocho?
Yeah.
Let me go and let Joe take this one.
Joe, what you're thinking?
Man, I think it's a
tough situation for Nico.
Nico is a guy
who was once upon a time, Uncle Ocho.
He was my brand Jordan rep.
Like, if I need anything,
that's who I call.
So I know Nico on a real personal level.
What he didn't anticipate is,
obviously, Kyrie getting hurt.
AD getting hurt, which I know AD got a history.
What did you mean you anticipate AD getting hurt?
He didn't, I mean, he wasn't thinking that.
He wasn't.
Oh, Joe.
So let me get this straight.
Your home boy, he don't wreck 10 cars.
You let him get your car, man.
I ain't, I, I, I ain't think he's going to wreck it.
You're right.
I think he was a little optimistic coming into the season.
Like, man, understanding, you know, the backlash that we're getting on
Tray and Luca, like, I'm thinking, I bet he thought that AD was going to come in the
coming to camp and tip-top.
shape and ready to go. That didn't
happen. You got your two main guys,
Karee tears ACA, I mean
this is the worst thing that can happen.
This is the worst thing that can happen.
So now you got Luke out here
averaging 40 and the Maverick's
best two players ain't even on the floor.
Correct.
And it's
and considering
like you said, Kari
gets hurt,
AD's hurt, is reported,
It was reported that Nico was pushing for AD to come back from that calf.
They're saying no, because you could tear this Achilles a la Kevin Durant.
So there's like, no, no, no, no.
Mark Cuban let it be known.
He's like, look, I wouldn't have traded Luca, but at least if you're going to trade him, open it up.
Let's see, maybe we can get, I believe he says, I believe we could have got more than what we got.
And they could have.
Yeah.
But I got a question, though.
I got a question, okay.
Oh, Joe.
Why are they acting like Nico
was the only one who made this decision?
He's the fall guy, Joe.
You know, I know he to follow.
Hey, listen, I know probably going into this,
Nico probably understood his position in this.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
It's like everybody just pouring the finger at Nico.
Man, that's a organization.
That man ain't just pulled the trigger.
Dumont.
Yeah, he ain't just pulled no trigger
and was like, you know,
let's just trade let's trade lucca like he he they had to meet with all this
yes listen you could have had a hundred meetings huh you could have had a hundred meetings
you could have had a hundred owners you could have had a hundred GMs I don't think anybody
makes that call I don't think anybody makes that trade I don't care what the hell he do off the
court I don't care what the hell he's drinking after you win a game I don't care I don't
care be 300 pounds what do you do for me when you are on the court what are you doing for me
What type of production are you putting up?
Whatever that may be.
He's a generational talent.
Talents of that magnitude come around every so often.
Every so often.
I don't think if you put any regular civilian in a position that even if you don't know basketball,
I don't even know basketball like you and Joe, and I can looka-luka,
and you have me in a position of power, I ain't even trading him because I know what he brings to the table.
I'm not.
You can see it.
Even if you don't enjoy the game of basketball.
Oh, he's different.
Oh, he gives me a chance.
He just does.
So now Nico's the fall guy.
He's the fall guy because the green light has come from somewhere else.
The green light has to come from somewhere else.
It's a power play that we don't understand that they do.
Because I think it's bigger than what it really is.
It just hasn't come out yet.
I still think it's bigger than what it is.
At the end of the day,
Joe, I don't know
if you own any companies
but having here at Shaysh
Media. They make suggestions.
Right.
I said, okay, let's do it.
If it doesn't work,
that's on me.
Because they suggested it. I could have said no.
Same thing with CJ, same thing with Ash.
They make suggestions.
Okay, I go with it.
Some work, some don't.
That's on me.
Because I got the final sake.
okay Nico made the suggestion right but the owner had the final say you don't get to say
see you can't say yes and means no Ted Cruz taught me that he said a lot of times people
people in Hollywood will say yes but mean no you can't do that do mine if you don't want
to trade him you can't say yes and then he trades him and you like no it doesn't work like
that. And if you're in the leadership
position, you're the CEO, yes, you
have C-O's and VPs
and so forth and so. But
if they make a
recommendation, and it
doesn't go through, they had to get sign-off
from you. If you
sign off on it,
you got to own it.
Matter of fact, everything
is not going to work. Hold on.
The fact that it was even
recommended, that's
a fireball offense.
The fact that it was even recommended, it was a fireable offense.
How?
How are you going?
How is you, how do you have your franchise going in the right direction by going backwards?
Well, you got to look at it like this.
They had Lucas sitting out some games for some time last year, Uncle Ocho.
Before they wanted him.
And they gave him extra time because they wanted him to lose some weight.
throughout that process
none of that was working
like he wasn't losing weight
none of that was working I think
the fact that they see him every day
talk to him every day
understand his conditions
and what he's going through
I think they just got fed up
if you just want me to be 100
I think they got fed up
and they didn't think
they didn't think it was going to get better
they didn't
no they didn't think it was going to get better
this is what the owner said
in February after the trade
if you look at the grades in this league
people you know I grew up with Jordan, Bird, Colby, Shack,
they work really hard every day with a singular focus.
And if you don't have that, it doesn't work.
You shouldn't be a part of the Mavericks.
That's what he's saying.
Hey, listen, hold on, hold on, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on, hold on.
You ain't going to get that out and just going about your business on.
You're not going to sit here and tell me that he watched Jordan
and all those names that he just named
and saying they didn't work hard, you understand
their ability to work hard,
the want to is one of the reasons for the success.
So what's the reason
that Luke is able to go out there
and do what he does? Because it doesn't work hard?
You don't just wake up and do what he's doing
out of the blue.
That comes from actual work.
That's hard work.
There's really, he's still doing it now that he's gone.
He's not doing what he's doing now
because he lost no goddamn weight.
He was doing it when he was doing.
heavy what are we talking about i think i think with him i think what i'm going respectfully say joe he
probably should have left shack off that list but okay go here i think i think by lucca hearing all this
you know because i'm sure he's heard all the rumblers and the weight the weight loss i think that
obviously gave him a little fire going into the all season which is why he lost a little weight and
he looks a lot of slimmer coming into this season and i think it's obviously helped him get
off to this tremendous start that he's gotten off to.
Yeah, but, you know, being in L.A.,
37 a game.
Yeah, being, hey, the, the market in L.A. is totally different
from the market in Dallas now.
Yes.
They ain't putting up with all that.
You know, they ain't got nothing but mega stars over that.
And I think the thing is, this was a wake-up call for Luka.
There we go.
There we sit shockwaves around the NBA.
Yeah.
Because if you can trade a guy that's been a five-time all-NBA selection,
five times in his first six years, ain't nobody untouchable.
Yeah.
you heard yon and say it nobody's untouchable and but this is this is ownership because
nico harrison is not making a move like this is just it's just like when you trade when you
trade when you move up and you move up uh the draft oh cho let's just say for the sake of argument
kansas city they were sitting at 17 yeah zoom up to 10 so that means they got they're going
to swap places with some with buffalo and they're going to give buffalo their next year they're
their 2019, uh,
2018 first round pig.
Okay.
You got to get the ownership.
You got to get Clark Hunt to sign off on that.
Now you can't Clark Hunt can't then say if Mahomes didn't turn out the way he did,
well, you know,
no,
no,
you gave them the green light to do this.
If you didn't want to do it,
don't do it.
Everybody get mad at general managers and head coach.
If I get it,
I understand.
But when you make moves like that,
Chicago moving up one spot and giving up,
next year's first round to get Mitchell Trubisky.
They had to go to the rest of the soul, Virginia McCasky
and get that signed off on, Ocho.
Yeah.
You know, you just can't make a move like that.
Ain't no general manager.
Hell, ain't even Pat Riley.
He got to go to Mickey Arison.
I'm sure he's going to McArensen say, look here, Mickey.
Now, it's going to cause a little chunk of change now,
but we can get LeBron and we can get Chris Bosch.
Yeah.
But it's going to cause a little chunk of change now.
yeah yeah okay go go get it but you said yes and you meant no well it's too late
no returns oh no you got hey as is mark jubin said at the time i wouldn't have traded him
mark cuban said if it came down to me getting the boss to keep a luka well it's been
not nice on you babe but luca ain't going nowhere
I mean, there's really nothing else I can say about it.
I mean, the fact that it was even recommended, recommend who?
If I was, if I was the owners over there in Dallas,
I would, I would, I would have fired Nico, but even recommending trading him.
I'm just being honest.
You know what, you fired.
I can't say, I can't say I disappointed.
Yeah, man, come on.
I can't say, I can't say you wrong for that, Ocho.
I just think it's glaring right now because of how Luke is playing
and how the Mavericks have kind of...
And plus what you call not playing.
AD's not playing.
But like I said, Joe,
A.D., if you really think about it,
AD's had one healthy season.
That's 2020 when they was in the bubble.
And then what did they get in between that, Joe?
A five-month break.
Yeah.
See, people forget about that, Ocho.
They shut it down in February.
Yeah.
So March, April, May,
June, they didn't start playing.
He got a five-month break.
Other than that, it's been, it's his back,
it's his shoulder, it's his calf,
it's his ankle.
So he has a history.
AD is phenomenal.
I'm not going to take any way from him.
He's a 75th anniversary.
He was voting one of the 75 greatest players of all time.
We used to have the discussion.
Who would you rather have?
Boogie Cousers or anything.
Anthony Davis, just like, that's how good boogie was.
But he's had an injury history.
That is not conjecture.
That's not innuendo.
That's not speculation.
That is fat.
And you traded a guy, even though he had never been injured,
but that one time for a guy that's repeatedly injured.
He's a repeat offender.
He's a repeat offender when it comes to injury.
Mm-hmm.
So I'm confused.
Now, if you trade him saying, okay, give me Yonis.
Okay, give me Ant Man.
Okay, you get a shade.
I get it.
Now, I don't think any of those, uh, uh, reported they reached out to, I think Yant,
they reached out to Milwaukee.
And I think they reached out to, uh, uh, uh, uh, Minnesota.
No, no.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
See, he's not doing that, but a guy that has an injury history.
And I think AD,
When he's healthy, he's one of the 10 best players
in the NBA.
He could defend.
He could, hey, he could block, he could, you know,
give you 25 and 13 on a nightly basis.
Give you two and a half, three blocks a game.
Alter shots.
But he's had a history of injuries.
And that's what Dallas was banking on.
You know, they went to the finals their year,
Arcan Ocho, led by Luca and Kyrie.
But they had,
they had inside presence defensively
were lively and Gafford,
but they didn't get no points.
They didn't have a big who can give them points.
So when I look at it,
they wouldn't have a 80 because they're like,
then he'll be a great post presence,
mid-boss presence, a great pick and roll guy.
Officially, in the playoffs,
he can average 30 easily.
You know what I mean?
I think that's what they were thinking
and obviously it just didn't pan out
the way that they thought it would.
But how are the thing, though, Joe?
okay we get AD as an inside present
we got a guy that we can dump the ball down to
and he's going to get his own shot
I won't that with Luca
not without Luca
you won't go hey you won't get that
you're going to tell you I go somewhere else
something got to give
that's why they kept
Kyrie I think they banked on
Kyrie being that guy who's going to be
you know it's going to be a great two man game
between Kyrie and AD
and unfortunately
we, we never got to see it.
Yeah.
No.
No.
And you probably that, you know, you hear all the rumblings now
that the Mavericks are looking to trade A-D.
Yeah, once those rumblins start, you already know.
Yeah, for sure.
You already know.
Well, it's going to make it look even worse.
The trade going to look even,
and it already looks bad.
And everybody thought it was bad.
Nobody thought this was a good trade, but Nico and Dumont.
Those are the people that thought it looked,
this was a good trade.
Who thought this was?
I haven't heard anybody
that thought this was a good trade
except Nico and Dumont at the time.
Clearly, he's having, you know,
Byr's remorse.
I don't even think they thought it was a good trade.
They had to because they did it.
They had to come out and say it.
And I know they, in the back of their mind,
like, you know what?
This ain't right.
Something ain't right.
I didn't put my foot of my mouth.
You knew good and goddamn way of what you was letting go.
You knew it wasn't going to look no dead.
whether it was 200 pound or 300 pounds.
You knew he would give you a 30.
Like I said, look, I think AD when AD is healthy,
and he's playing, because I've watched him.
Go look at AD when he was in, when he was,
when he was the guy and, and, and, and, uh, uh, uh, the Pelicans.
Give you a 28, 12 and 3.
Nasty work.
That was a long time ago though, uh,
but that's what I'm saying when he was healthy,
had boogie, because see, he wants to play.
See, AD don't want a bang.
He didn't want to play the four.
Now, he'll play the five
the last five minutes of the ball game
because that's what they did.
Think about it, Joe.
He had his best season win
with the Lakers.
Javelle McGid, Dwight Howard.
They would come in and play the five.
They did all the grunt work.
They did all the leg work.
Last five minutes of the game.
Guess what?
He slide to the five.
LeBron slides to the four.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's when he did, that's when he did his work.
But I just,
the trade didn't.
make sense to me.
Hold on.
You give it up a guy,
you say because Luke is not in shape
and he's injured,
but he's five,
six years younger than AD.
Yeah.
He's five,
six years younger.
And he can,
he can give you the point,
he can give you more points.
He can rebound,
and he can assist.
He can triple,
he can double.
He's as efficient as AD,
no, because he's taking,
you know,
10, 11, 12, stepback three is a game.
Yes, sir.
But he, I mean, when he's cooking,
you ain't going to find very many guys.
Only Wilk could give you a 60 point,
a 60, 20 triple double.
And that's what he did.
I just don't, I don't get why, you know,
look, I get it.
Like Ojo said,
out of firing from making that suggestion.
Let me get your ass out of here.
I dare you come in my office talking about Tray Lucas.
What the hell?
As a matter of fact,
to trade you for another gym.
The Lakers were willing to offer
Clay Thompson four years, $80 million
deal, but he took a pay cut to go play
with Luca in Dallas.
Per the athletic. The Lakers and Thompson
discussed a four-year, $80 million deal
in free agency that if the Warriors cooperated
and a sign and trade would have dwarfed
the three-year, $50 million deal
that he got from the Dallas Mavericks.
But eventually, the Mavericks
gave him 50, and he took that.
But the allure of Luca's greatness
was a major pool as a chance to partner with Irving in the back court
when given the choice between teaming up with Lakers duo Davis and LeBron
or the Maverick stars Thompson made a calculated decision to go with the latter.
Little did he know the star player would swap and leave him for the wrong end of history.
Oh, Joe.
Yeah.
If you go back and study history.
Uh-huh.
Joe, Kyrie, what is his history?
Injury.
injuries the one thing we know about lebron now he got uh once he started getting the 19
and 20 he started getting these little nicknack right growing you know what i'm saying but you
notice very rarely when you see lebron james dive on the floor again yeah did that one time and
you know hey um and you get older you ain't got the elasticity you know what i'm saying don't you
know i even though i drink water ain't got the elasticity right yeah right yeah boy hey you know
So you're boy, you know, hey, have you just saying, that's how you want, you know, cars, you know, cause without, you know, with our bedroom back in the day, Joe, you know what I'm saying.
You don't, you know what I'm saying. You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, I mean, and Clay has been impacted because he's been playing terrible this year.
I mean, he's awful.
He's shooting 18% from three.
I think he's shoot around 30% from the two.
He's just.
Yeah, man, you got, you got a rookie.
He's playing the point guard who...
Come on, man.
He ain't no point.
Just because he's not going to understand...
I'm saying Cooper Flagg with him playing the one.
He's not going to understand how to, you know,
really get Clay the ball to get him shots
because he's trying to prove that he's the number one pick.
You know what I mean?
But you can see they kind of moved him to the side a little bit
and they brought in...
DeLoh.
They should have.
yeah I think it's good too
I like to see Cooper fill the lanes
and be able to play like that
be able to play
play with his back to the basket
he can drive the ball
you know you put it a
you could but the point guard
he should never primarily have the ball
in his handle Joe
no that's not what he is
not unless he get a rebound
and he pushing up the floor outside of that
don't have to get big taking it out
giving it to Cooper flag so he can
bring it up to initiate the offense
I don't yeah no I agree with you on that
he's not a big you can play through
Yokits, you can play through.
You can run your offense through.
Draymond, you can run your offense through.
That's not who Cooper Flag is.
You've got to know what you got.
I understand he's the first pick in the draft.
And a lot of times you have these ideas,
oh, I see him doing this, I see him doing that.
But you didn't see him do that at Duke.
Right.
That's not what he did.
And now you get so now,
you take this dinner napkin
and you try to make it a tablecloth.
You see what you did?
It's a dinner napkin.
Yeah.
You try to make it a tablecloth.
Let it do what it do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But Clay, like, man, y'all got me down here in Dallas,
but I ain't too mad.
You know, I got something.
Hello.
Hello.
I ain't too, man.
I ain't too, man.
Dollar's been okay to me.
That's your meat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Made my basketball game,
but there are more important things in life than basketball.
You see you.

Hey, hey, you got to understand the importance
of what it says is Thanksgiving.
It's all about giving back.
You know, there's a lot of people that are just starving.
We don't want them to starve.
See, you're not hurting for that $59.00.
I'm hurting.
You're in a good space.
Oh, Joe.
Oh, Joe, I'm hurting.

But what we lose, we will always get back.
Because in a very, I give you, I give it.

All I'm saying, hey, all I do is ask the Lord to give me an, hey, wake me up in the
morning.

That's all I need.
That's it.
Man.
He don't gave me the tools.
He didn't gave me the weapons to go fight any war.
Yes, sir.
When he wake me up in the morning.
That's all I need.
Yeah.
Oh, Joe, Paul Pierce says he's taking the Morris twins over the Yokic brothers in a street fight.
Street fight.
Street fight.
Ooh, woo.
One of like six, ten, four hundred.
Yeah, you know, that don't mean nothing to screen.
I don't know if he can, he got a bit of mood with all that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because that's what they said.
They say, man, he ain't got no cardio.
I heard, I, I, I briefly heard him talking about it.
Uh, uh, uh, I heard of briefly talking about it.
No, uh, hold on, one of, one of the, um, a MMA fighter.
Yeah, one of the, one of the, uh, Yoakish brothers.
Joky brothers.
And the one thing you know about MMMA fighter, they normally, even they're big,
they normally got some decent cardio now yeah they got a little decent cardio you know a little
ground game you know they don't they don't play fair they don't play fair and especially
they with anybody with any kind of combat training unc i mean it gives them an advantage
over any regular civilian i think yeah for sure oh yeah and 610 400 yeah that's a big boy
that's a big boy nah you know you know i had a chance of film with a day uh ilya ilia
Tuporia.
Oh,
Ely Tuporio, okay.
Yeah, yeah, we filmed today down here in Spain.
And of course, my crazy, I asked me if you want to spar.
And when I asked him when you want to spar, he didn't show me the highlights of all
his knockouts, man.
He didn't, hey, he did not, he knocked out, you know, brother Max Holloway and.
Yeah.
Oh, he got crazy hands, oh, Joe.
Yeah, you ain't had to tell me.
You ain't had to tell me.
You ain't want none of smoke.
Yeah, after I've seen, after I've seen the highlights, they showed me.
I'm like, nah, you know, you know, listen.
We don't do the work we need to do right now.
But, yeah, I changed my mind.
I don't want to spot.
No, I'm thinking because he's a little small.
I'm like, man, what?
Man, I'm not.
But he's talking about he can, nah, he's talking about he want to fight a bud.
I like, bro, you, you, I understand you, MMA,
but MMA boxing and pro boxing is two different things.
Ask Connor McGregor.
Now, he caught Floyd on the tail end.
Imagine he caught Floyd.
and five years earlier.
Man, floored toy with that boy.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
Hey, he let him get in them deep waters, Joe.
Yeah.
Let him get tired.
Go ahead, punch yourself out.
Get tired.
And let me catch you on the back end.
Yeah.
Now, hey, the one thing I say about the Morris brothers,
now, they ain't going to back down from no action.
No, no, they ain't on.
Hey, once I found out, they fought the football team,
I was like, okay, they're real.
One football team in Kansas?
At Kansas, yeah.
Which mean they fought the football team?
They fought the football team.
The whole team has a few players.
A bunch of them.
Okay.
The mere fact that they did that,
because I ain't never heard of a basketball team
because that would have never happened at state.
Right.
Yeah, that's right.
They want them problems.
As a matter of fact, normally,
don't nobody want them problems unless you come from the city.
Now, you know, sometimes, you know,
they guys got the squabble with people out of the city.
that's a whole different out that's a whole different animal right and you know we try to
contain that because me I got the car that everybody knows I can't be out there you
know you know you know you boy this oh you know you know you boy back there oh cho yeah
yeah yeah oh oh oh you used to be in there with your shirt off and anything in the
spot no no no no no I wasn't I didn't go to no part of Joe but you know I'm saying
I'm at the car wash up at the barbershop you know I had to pull up you know late at night
Yeah, you know, but they, I got a, I got a, uh, uh, 300 ZX, sky blue, and I got a, uh, 300 beans.
Everybody don't know.
Hey, why you spent the car, you had that in anybody.
Did you have that in college?
Yeah.
I had a brother playing the league.
You think he's going to leave?
Oh, I got eyes on.
I got Levi's.
I got, like, man, I please.
Hey, I got polo, dark side of, but show.
Well, you were clean, huh?
Hell, you had all in college and a cat like me
and have about two pair of jeans.
Two, me, I went to college.
I went to college with two brown red pigly wiggly bags.
Two brown piggly wiggily bags, everything I don't eat it.
I had one thing.
You know, with my brother making a little money.
Yeah.
You know, touchdown was $200, a hundred yard game
with $200.
And I have 200 yards and four touchdowns.
Oh, Cho, you don't know how my money that is?
A lot.
That's a lot.
And listen, in college at that time,
boy, hey, make you feel rich.
You hear me?
I was.
But you know how much about you go back to think about it,
1988, how much $1,000 was,
$1,000 to a college kid.
What?
That was lying, though.
You're talking about 19808.
Boy, you know what I could do with $1,000 a day?
Not pay me.
But, uh, but, uh, but, uh, but look, hey, I'm telling you now,
the barren twin ain't back it down for no action now.
But I, uh, hey, I don't know if anybody, ain't nobody doing no really no street fights
no more if they don't have to.
Nah, no.
Hey, people, people fire you up or poking you.
Yes, uh, ain't no more, ain't no more fair.
It's a fight.
What's the man?
You fight fair?
No.
It's a fight.
Yeah.
This ain't no, street fights ain't sanctioned.
Bust over the head with a bottle.
So,
DeMarcus cousins said the Pelicans need to relocate.
It was five,
it was times five, six years ago,
especially in New Orleans.
You go to, there are 36 people there.
Courtside was $25.
Damn.
Blow it up, move on.
There are no fans.
Joe?
man you know what he probably got a point
okay oh cho no we don't have no point jo come on that don't do that
where they're going to go to because they look at they're looking at bringing a team to
Seattle and they're bringing a team to Vegas they got hey look they need one in
Vegas boy we that thing will be jumping in Vegas y'all already know it yeah for
show because they got they got they already got football they got a hockey they got a
the NBA, they got the A's relocated from Oakland
that's coming here in about two years.
So, and now they have an NBA,
so they'll have the big five.
Yeah, I know basketball is going to be that soon.
Yeah, for sure, absolutely.
I don't think it'd be the Pelicans.
You know, you know what they need to do.
No, hell not.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Pelican, they want a new to you.
They want somebody to spend about $3,4,5 billion.
Yeah, yeah, it'd be the expansion team.
But for the pelicans, right?
And what the markets talk about with them,
it's about the courts,
the course size seats for $25,
when it cures all.
winning cures all you know and the people of new orleans they deserve to have a sports team
whether it be the saints and whether it be the pelicans but to get the people to come out you've got to be
able to win you got to put the product on the court you know well you had a d he wanted out
zion doesn't want to be there so it's hard it's hard to keep a star if you get a superstar and
you don't want to stay yeah you're right you right because they got some decent talent over there but
It just ain't enough to be.
Nah, no, no, no, not.
Not with OKC.
Them young boys, the oldest guy, 26, 27,
they ain't going nowhere anytime soon.
You got Wimby, and that squad of San Antonio.
They're not going anywhere anytime soon.
And now you got the Rockets with KD,
you got Shungoon, you got Thompson.
Man, please.
And the guys just don't,
the guys don't want to be there.
I mean, they come and they don't want to stay.
Hey, they want to be in bigger markets.
Zaya, I guarantee you, if you ask, put Zion on a lot of tech the test,
he would have rather gone three and gone to New York as opposed to going number one and going to New Orleans.
Right.
I believe.
Yeah.
And it is what it is.
I mean, just, I don't, I don't know if Ms. Benson is going to move it.
I don't think she will.
Mm-mm.
I don't.
Probably not.
Saints are there and, and, and, I mean, you could.
Because they, they own the, they own the saints.
She on the,
also, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
My late husband.
Yeah, they ain't, they ain't moving that.
So.
All right, Joe, let me know what you think about this.
The NBA announced this long-awated plans to overhaul the All-Star game,
laying out how the new United States, once again,
versus the world.
format will go and how teams will be formed going to a three-team format featuring eight-man
rosters two of which will be made up of American players and the third of
international players there will no longer be any position requirements wow in the past
starters have been made up of two back court players and three four four front court
players with the reserves being the same split plus two wild cards this year though
the starters will be formed of the top five boat getters regardless
regardless of positions.
And the reserve will be the top seven, regardless of positions.
That's a seven-time All-Star joke.
What do you think about this?
They're trying to do whatever they can to spice the All-Star weekend back up
to get people excited, to get people to tune in, obviously.
But, man, if you're going to have all the four in the guys,
what are we talking about, Lucas, Shea, Janice, Wimby,
Yokich, that's five.
Those are your top five players right there.
They are all international.
We're going to be in some trouble.
Your top five players are all international.
Tell me an American player that's better than the five that just named.
I'll wait.
We're going to be in some trouble.
But the problem is I don't care what you do.
If the guys don't want to play hard, they're not going to play.
The guys don't want to play it anymore.
So you got to put in some incentives.
man, you got to put some incentives in
for them for them dudes
to come out and compete at a high level.
Joe, these guys making $50 and $60
million and I got to incentivize it?
Yeah, they sport.
They spoil, uh?
Absolutely.
Yeah, they spoil.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, you do.
They've done a huge disservice.
I mean, Michael George,
Michael George probably just shaking his head.
That's probably why he don't even go no more.
Michael Jordan didn't go to the All-Star game.
Kobe would Kobe,
Kobe, rest his soul.
Ain't no way in hell.
Bobby Bryant, we show up to that.
Yeah.
Ain't no way.
The old guard, like, I said the same thing.
I said the same thing about the Pro Bowl.
I remember saying, I said, they're going to cut this out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, Joe, you went with the Pro Bowl.
Now, we didn't tackle like it was a playoff game or a regular season game, but
we did tackle.
Yeah, yeah.
And when that fourth quarter came, now they go, now, now we get down to the nitty
because we're trying to get that little 10, Joe, little 10,000.
We need that.
That's how much we played.
The winner's got 10,000.
The winners got 10.
The losers got five.
You brought five people.
That's all your money.
Hotel room, hotel room and to feed them.
Trust me.
I already know.
I already know.
Man, time,
time took his family.
Time handled about lunch, meat,
bread, time went to the grocery store.
That's, uh-uh, I ain't doing this.
Time, no, literally.
Time brought,
had like two gallons of milk.
Yo, time black, they have sandwiches, times, uh-uh, mm-mm.
Yeah, that up quick, boy.
Yeah.
I really wasn't taking nobody.
I was taking my coaches.
I would take my position coach and his wife, their wife.
Yeah.
So, you know, my position coach coached me.
He'd be gone somewhere else.
I fly a man.
So my sister didn't want to go.
She had already gone, like, twice with my brother.
She's like, nah, I'm done with it.
I ain't want to go no more.
So most of the time, I'm going by my,
I sent for it, you know, and then I take my coaches and the wives out to eat.
And then basically we just, you know, be hanging out with the guys.
Yeah.
But that, no, you know, I show wish I could go back and play again, Ocho.
Yeah.
But it ain't even the wide no more, so it ain't no fun.
There's no, there's no excitement to making the pro bowl now.
Because you make it and you're going right to Orlando.
Y'all, hell now.
Well, you made the pro bow back then, Unk.
It was a privilege.
It was a big deal, man.
You go in Hawaii, you're going to get some pineapple.
You get the mitas, the blue Hawaiines.
You're going to eat them wings with that red dressing.
Hey, all I remember, all I remember, I don't know if anybody in Hawaii might see this,
the French toast at the Iolani Hotel was second to none.
I ain't, I ain't had nothing.
The closest thing I've had that was just as good as that is the French toast I ate in
Montreal at a restaurant called La Avenue.
So those two places, the best.
best french toast I didn't ever had man
they got some french toast
at the Beverly Wilshire
right there on
right there on Wilshire
Riddle Drive
yeah and boy they got some
French Cho Cho and they got
a croissant
right croissant
yeah
and that French toast
I see the Jack Rabbit be the German
Sheppled up just to get a bite of it
whipped it
Hey
Hey, Debbie Wilson, that's over there with the rich folks, ain't it?
Yeah, they got a place, they got a place in, um, in New York with pancakes.
I want to go.
I forget the name of it.
But I see the, the fridge toast that Rock be eating, his, uh, chef be making this a fridge toast.
That's like that bread this thick.
Yeah.
I say, damn, is that a loaf of bread or what?
Yeah, I like French.
Hey, y'all ate like, y'all ate like that on game days?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Game day, you know, I'm not.
But you got to realize, Joe, we played at 2 o'clock.
I would eat breakfast.
I would eat breakfast at 9.
I wouldn't eat again until after the game,
which would be about 536.
Yeah, I'm saying, but it wouldn't be like not heavy.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, I would eat like french toast with bananas,
egg whites, and an oatmeal.
Yeah, Joe, I get my same McDonald's meal before every game.
Even if we were playing on the road,
I would have somebody, I would have somebody bring it for me,
Just hot cakes with sausage and the large orange juice.
That's it.
Real simple.
Yeah.
But, yeah, it's not the same.
Guys don't take it serious anymore.
And really, the only thing that's the same is the All-Star game in baseball.
Because how do you half-ass baseball?
You got to throw 95.
You know, you got to, you know, change up, sliders, you know.
And there's something on the line.
I mean, it's still an All-Star game.
Whoever wins the All-Star game, it gets on field.
Baseball.
That's still the same.
and see, yeah, like I said,
these guys, they didn't want to play anymore,
even though they increased the money.
It went to 25,
and I think now it's probably like 50, 80,000
for the winners at the Pro Bowl.
Damn.
That's because, hey, look,
All-Star Weekend guys be,
it's like a vacation for real,
but they know they got to come out and play.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
I used to watch,
you used to look forward to it.
Man, I watched Jordan,
imagining them how they go at it.
Oh, man.
Kobe.
They used to play.
Ocho, we used to, we played, we tackle.
It wasn't no 45, 45, 41 ball game.
Please.
It was, listen.
Hey, Joe, it was competitive.
It was competitive.
Let's me go out.
I used to watch it, man.
They used to have a lot of festivities for the Pro Bowl and all that
with the quarterback duels and all that.
They still do all that, okay, Ocho?
Nah.
No, I mean, they basically now they have like,
dodge ball, they have the quarterback.
back trying to hit that moving target they have they have some stuff but no fun stuff
i mean look we joked around at practice and stuff like that because you know uh i
remember uh one year as a matter of fact i'm trying to think what it was a 96 so it's 96 season
but it was the 97 pro ball ocho so we go out there like i think it's that Friday uh-huh so
junior junior say our quartet junior like man hey let me uh i want to play you i want to play you
like tight in okay hell here here you go so he go to tight end i go to linebacker cortic man
tom calls a looking around take it in got well nothing gonna get done that day but come game
ain't come sunday oh yeah they're fin to play now are we what yeah y'all y'all y'all brucey ted oh that game
close yeah bruce and t uh brucey and d t rest his soul yeah they get not that ball
They get not that ball.
Then with the day,
they ain't like that no more, Ocho. I'm sorry.
Fair.
Time to change.
Time for our final segment of the evening.
It is time for Q and A.
What's up, Unk?
I'm going to my first, oh, Aaron Owens.
What's up, Unk?
I'm going to my first NASCAR race.
next year at the Coca-Cola 600.
Who's your favorite driver all time
and your favorite NASCAR memory?
Wow.
My favorite.
I like a lot.
I like a lot of NASCAR guys.
I grew up kind of watching Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt.
But I would probably have to say my favorite is Jeff Gordon.
I did an appearance with Jimmy Johnson,
the 48 Lowe's car, but the 24 DuPont.
But you know, I grew up way back when they had Harry Gant
and all those guys.
Allison boys
Kale Yarber
Yarborough Sterling Marlin
Arlesonville
from Dawsonville
probably my favorite
memory
when
who was it was it
I think it was Bobby Allison
and Caldial
Yarborough
wrecked
and I think it was Darrell Waltrip
or
Richard Petty to end up winning
the 79
the 79 Dayton
500 they crashed each other i think i think i think it was uh bobby alison um because it was two
brothers bobby and donnie um but i think i think bobby alison and keel yarbor end up wrecking each
other and either richard petty or darrell walterp ended up winning
Uh-uh, no, 1979.
D. Daytona.
Okay.
Man, Ash, you don't remember that?
I remember that.
I was there.
Oh, dang, Ash, I thought you remember that.
But I think it was 79.
Tino, David said pain needs to apologize from everybody that was bashing him
and AJ's situation seemed personal and mental.
I hope he's okay.
Hey, Tino, you heard me apologize.
I owe the man an apology.
I owed the one to Jabon Kettlelaw too.
And I gave it to him because I believe as loud as I was
and saying that he was wrong,
I should be just as loud and apologize.
Because that man, what, he said it,
they said it, that he just didn't swing, like he said.
He DM me and sent me the video also.
So, that was 79, wasn't it?
Yeah, was Daytona 500,
1979.
Type it in 1979, Daytona 5.
I think AJ's fine.
I think AJ wants to contribute,
wants to be a feel,
he wants the offense to know,
and he knows that they give him an opportunity.
he can help the offense get out of the funk that they're in.
And they definitely wouldn't be having as many three-in-outs as they have.
So.
It was Donnie.
And who ended up winning?
Was it Kale Yarbrough or Richard Petty?
Not me, whether it Darrell Waltrip or Wichipty, they ended up winning.
see you know i hey you know i said oh you know back back then in the south yeah that's car was
huge now yeah it's still big in the south but not like it was because you go to every convenience
store joe you remember they used to have hats they had handkerchiefs they had jackets all that
stuff all your favorite drive you can get uh uh terry lebani you can get uh bill elli
you can get any
Harry Gant,
the old skull bandit,
River Fox,
Sterling Marley,
uh,
Pearson.
Oh,
man.
Oh,
I had me some,
I ain't going to lie to it.
I had me some scar.
I had me some handkerchief.
What?
I,
that was the whole thing.
Hey,
I wasn't the only brother
that had that either.
Just so you don't know.
Triple X Cup Saturday.
Keep your hands
and your feet to yourself
unless someone else owes you
5,900.
See that?
You know, Joe, you're right.
You right.
G.K. Knox, 171.
Greg, hey, unc, can y'all wish my wife, Ria, a very special happy birthday?
We absolutely would love to.
Ria, Greg wants to wish you a very happy birthday.
And us at the Nightcap family want to wish you a happy birthday.
Hopefully you had a great day, did something really, really fun, went to a great, got you a great meal.
And hope he got, hope Greg bought you a nice gift.
But happy birthday.
birthday real donovan d uh oh joe y'all feel about panic do y'all think he is fundamentals
like footwork and decision making or could be play called to be better big fan look he a young
player oh joe i mean man y'all really think everybody just supposed to come out and be like patrick
holmes huh no i mean they listen oh joe that's the problem i think players like my homes uh burrow
Brady,
Peyton Manning,
Josh Allen,
Lamar Jackson,
they've spoiled the fans.
They spoil the fans,
especially fans of certain teams
where you see quarterbacks
that go early
and you're expecting that type of play
from them, you know,
this early in their career.
It's just not going to happen.
At some point,
there has to be a maturation process
where they may get to that,
but there's a chance that they don't.
They don't become elite.
They don't become a tier one quarterback,
and they just become just good.
And I think Pennix,
Junior is going to be okay.
I think he has to be careful about what he says,
you know, in the media and,
choose his words wisely.
I think he's going to be all right.
Yeah.
Look, it's the same.
In the 90s, there were not 15 great tier one quarterbacks.
In the 2000, there weren't 15 tier one great quarterbacks.
It's never going to be that many.
There's levels to this.
Yeah.
I know, look, I understand it.
Everybody wants their quarterback to look,
like a Mahomes or one of these
tier one quarterbacks, one of the greats about
Aaron Rogers. That ain't
happening, guys. Everybody ain't going to have
that. Just like everybody ain't going to have
a Kobe or LeBron or
a Yokic or a bird to play
for their organization. It ain't going to happen.
Yeah.
Brian in, Detroit
Basketball, Leportier,
cigars.
Aaron Jones, wait a minute,
I thought you wouldn't be listening to non-football
player the people who get paid to study the game why do you care about their
opinions I thought I answered that Aaron I tweet my thing is I don't have a
I don't care if you didn't play I said if you mean the times and study field
have that but I think I know things that mean a don't for the simple fact I
played and I look at the
became a little different.
But why do you care what I say to you?
It seems like, because I ain't jumping on your timeline,
you ain't jumping on mine.
I ain't never jumping on nobody timeline
and say you don't know what you're talking about.
That's what y'all do.
So clearly y'all know what I'm talking about.
Ben, oh, oh, Joe, ISO, can I get a birthday shout out?
Turn 38 on November 12th.
Ben, happy, oh, belated birthday.
Happy belated birthday, bro.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
At 38, right?
Yeah.
I ain't, I ain't lost magic yet.
I didn't, I still a little something.
You know, I still, you know,
could card you up a little something
every once in a while, you know what I'm saying?
Not like a, you know.
I ain't Steph Curry.
I ain't going to make a hundred and two in a row.
But you know what I'm saying?
I might hit a good, you know, Joe, good day.

Andy Lopez, if PS2 don't play, how you feel about my homeboy.

Yeah.
And everybody said that they ever go to a dollar,
they're going to quit.
Then they said they go to $1.50, they're going to quit.
go to $2 to go quit.
Because it seems like the price
keep going up and their people are still smoking.
They look, that way you got people
out here hustling them cigarettes.
They ain't $10 a pack
in New York City.
The whole carton?
No, a pack.

El Prey, Ocho, the camera you got in Spain is clean.
Good look.
Are you planning on running with the Bulls?
Unc and Ocho Adventures.
Hey, listen.
Hey, I'm glad you said that, right?
Because that's certain stuff we can tap into
running with the Bulls.
Don't have to do it.
I can do it.
I think there need to do,
there need to be some thing, Joe,
and Unk,
that we need to do in that space
of creating content outside of what we already do,
because everybody do this.
And, you know,
we,
we weren't the best at it,
but it's a lane that hasn't been touched.
You hear me?
And, you could be like my coach,
and we could almost be stuff
that's semi-dangerous.
And I'm willing to take that chance.
You hear me?
Okay.
You know, so we need to be...
I definitely coach your own.
Yeah, we need to make sure we too,
we find,
tune and stay into that lane that nobody's touch okay because the world the world will
appreciate appreciate that going hunting you know me and you swimming with orcas in the
wild um who said i want to do that yeah that's that's see that's what i'm talking about it has to be
things you don't want to do that you're willing to try oh flimbing with orcas though yeah in the
wow yeah yeah yeah they're gonna attack humans i don't i don't got on doing that yeah you know you don't
You're right.
Unk ain't got Unk doing that.
We got to do things we normally wouldn't do,
things that are out of our character.
That's what people want to see.
Okay.
Man, that's like life and death.
Like, you know, that's...
Hey, Joe, that's a good thing about it.
So if you die, you went out the right way.
Great content.
No, I didn't.
I got a different idea of how I want to go out.
You're just me talking, though.
Philly talk with PA, AJ said,
not just what Philly Media said,
but Devonte, Sequin, Lane, Johnson,
and said it's predictable as well.
AJ isn't scheme open like Chase.
PS2 said he gets open
and that's what makes him great.
Well, y'all need to take that up
with the coordinator with the Eagles.
Why y'all get mad at me and Ocho and Joe?
I ain't calling no plays.
Laney Ray, hey guys, been listening to you guys

all of the evacuated off the plane. When we got off the plane, the first plane had I already done

I mean, but I was headed to Boston.
Yeah, that was my rookie year.

Hey, but listen, I know we got, we got nightcap tomorrow, right?
Yes.
See, see how focused I am?

I appreciate that.
I'm not, we're not going to go to Rome.
We're going to wait until the season is over.
Football season is over.
And we got a little more time to enjoy the city instead of going there for a few hours
and fly back to the state.
So I'm flying back to Miami.
And my flight even, what, four hours?
Five hours.
See that?
Well, damn, were you in a little bit of time?

Okay, C, beat the brakes off of him.

By like 30?
30 what?
Pounce.
God.
It was a whole lot to a few.
Yeah.
David Montiano.
Eagles O.C., Kevin Petula,
is going to destroy us.
I agree with AJ.
Hey.
Can you imagine everybody can't have
Ben Johnson calling plays.
Everybody can't.
have a Sean McVey.
Kyle Shaddenhan or McVey.
Yeah, you can.
Andy Reed.
Yeah, sure.
The creativity is different.
C.B. started.
Shakur said CBB started
the early prediction. If any,
Yukon, we're taking our title back. We building
football program up too.
Yeah, y'all good in basketball now.
But I don't know if Yukon is going to be able to beat
those blue bloods, bro.
Talking about football?
Yeah.
To beat the Georgia and the Ohio states and the Bamas and I don't see that.
Hey, you got to bring a whole lot of boys in there for that.
Uh, Fletch, uh, I catched up on the shoulder the other night
when you said you wish coach would stop feeding y'all.
You almost had me throw up all my cater food away because we're doing so bad.
Hey, that was funny.
Hey, dad.
Hey, that was funny, boy.
That was funny.
Hey, I'm miserable.
When I'm losing, I'm miserable.
I want everybody else to be miserable, too.
Oh, did you see the new formated?
The women's 100 meters at the 2020 Olympics,
all three rounds the same day.
I did see that.
It's opening day.
Man, that's asking an awful lot of these women.
I mean, three rounds in one day.
Normally they have maybe two rounds,
and then they have the finals the next day.
Or they won one round and two rounds the next day.
But that's an awful lot.
I hope they space it out and give them enough time to recover.
So they should have a space out, you know, morning, then noon, and then at night.
Yeah.
I mean, the women taking over.
They might end up having Seed race be, whatever, whatever Seed running,
that's going to be the signature race.
Bemore Cowell, in 2018 draft, Lamar Jackson, Sam Darnel,
Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen,
the best quarterback in the draft class
in NFL history.
You can make that case.
83 might have something to say about that now.
You know Elway and Marino
was in the same draft with Jim Kelly.
Huh.
Jim Kelly went to four soup bowl.
They didn't win it.
John went to five,
one, two.
Marino went to one.
So when it's all said and done,
you might have a compelling argument,
young man because Lamar hasn't been to the
Super Bowl. Well, y'all got to get
to some Super Bowls now.
Jay
underscore Fields 227 since
Scataboo is hurt, would there ever be another
Mike Ars-type player?
You know, it would be hard too because they don't even
team the way the NFL is now
the way offenses are. Most
teams don't even use the fullback to that
point. Nah, they block it.
He was the perfect fit
for
for the Giants.
I think the 49 is also used
the fullback a little bit.
Use check, Kyle, use check.
Yeah, yeah.
There's one more team.
Oh, the Ravens, Ricard.
The Ravens, another team.
So not very many use a fullback in that panel.
Yeah.
