Dak Prescott isn't concerned about his contract situation.
That's what Dak's saying.
I don't play for money.
Never have, never cared for.
What?
Damn, please.
Hey, I told you I was trying to coach.
The reason why I love Sharp so much is that she would play this game for free.
I said, Coach, I'm going to need everybody else to play for free, too.
Shannon ain't going to be the only one playing for free.
If all the other folks playing for free, sign me up.
But I ain't going to be the only one.
But this is what Dak said.
He said, never have, never cared for it, to be honest with you.
Would give it up just to play the game.
Ocho, you know, we got to say that.
Ocho, hey.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listen, listen.
He's the face of the franchise.
He had to start on his helmet.
He's going to say all the right things.
Hey, listen, you know when you first meet a girl?
Yeah. You know when you first meet a girl? Yeah.
You know when you first meet a girl?
I don't even care about no sex.
We ain't got to have sex.
Shit.
Girl, please.
Hey, I'm trying.
I'm trying to get you laid down as quick as I possibly can.
What?
Hey, make me a pillow right quick.
She seem sleepy.
I'm trying to lay her down real quick.
Hold on.
I bet you ain't never did this one.
What is it?
First date. You know what? You ain't never did this one what the first date
you know what
you ain't got to drive home
you know it's kind of late
yeah
you can spend the night
and you know what I do
I let you have the bed
I sleep on the couch
I sleep on the couch
yeah
yeah
it's you or no
I love Dak
Dak I love Dak
girl you look
girl you look tired
you look tired
girl go on go on go on no no hey just put your head right there Girl, you look tired. You look tired.
Don't let that happen. Don't let that happen.
Quit it.
No, no.
Hey, just put your head right there and watch TV.
Yeah.
Hey, listen, I love back to death.
And he's saying all the things he has to say, obviously.
He can't say the things he wants to say.
Yes.
He's doing everything right.
He always has done everything right.
He's being a pro's pro.
He's being a pro's pro. He's being a pro's pro but at the end of the day, as
former players, we know
that money matters.
It always matters. You ain't playing
for free. We love our fans.
We love doing this, having
an opportunity just
to talk to our fans. You and I, we do
nightcap for free.
Yeah.
Okay. Yeah. Who?
Okay.
Okay.
Hey,
the only thing free is salvation.
And we done got ministers
found a way to charge for that.
Ain't nothing free
but salvation.
And they charge for that now.
Oh,
Shay don't do,
oh,
no.
Oh.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
Yeah,
nah.
Hey.
Hey, Dak, shut up. Hey, Dak, I know you watching this, boy. I love you, boy. But come on, Dak. Dak-mm. Yeah, nah. Hey. Hey, Dak, shut up.
Hey, Dak, I know you're watching this, boy.
I love you, boy.
But come on, Dak.
Dak says, he said,
I allow the business people
to say what it's worth.
What we're supposed to do,
you have a quarterback of my play,
a person of my play,
leader of my play.
I guess you could say for me,
it's about controlling what I can control
and handling that part,
and the rest will take care of itself.
Itself, excuse me. I don't really care. And the rest will take care of itself. Excuse me.
I don't really care.
I don't really take things personal, Prescott said.
Maybe my first deal things were a little different than they are now.
One, my age.
Two, who I am, where I am in my life.
And I guess the fact that the first deal got done.
The understanding that this is at this point and I have a lot of decisions in this too.
I have a lot to say.
It's about understanding the business is the business.
Yeah.
Listen, to me, honestly, to me, if I was Dak, I would bet on myself.
I would pull a Kirk Cousins like what Kirk Cousins did when he was in with the Commanders.
I would play this last year out and hit the market.
I would hit the market.
And when he hits the market,
there are multiple teams that could use Dak Prescott.
He's a great leader of men.
He's a great quarterback.
Many won't consider him an elite.
I like him.
And most importantly,
if he goes somewhere that has a great supporting cast,
we can see a Dak that can reach heights even he didn't think he could.
That I think he might be because of the circus where he is.
It could be rough.
All the added pressure.
Wrong person in front of the camera.
Not allowing the coaches to coach,
not allowing the players to play,
speaking for the players, speaking for the coaches,
being somewhere else where you don't have to deal with that,
I think it would do him due justice.
Let me ask you a question. If the Cowboys
offer Dak five years,
$150 million, you think he takes it?
$5,000, $150 million?
That ain't enough.
But money don't matter.
That's not enough. Money don't like it. But money don't matter. That's not enough.
Money don't matter.
Oh, it didn't matter.
I just wanted you to say it.
I didn't want to say it.
I just wanted you to say it.
Okay.
If I'm Dak's agent
and they offer me $5,000 for $150,000,
I'm going to tell Jerry,
don't worry about it.
We're going to play this season out.
We good.
Appreciate it.
Well, here's the thing.
The thing that he does have.
Hey, listen.
He got all the leverage, too.
Yeah.
They can't franchise him.
There's not too many scenarios and not too many chances or opportunities where players
have the leverage.
Yeah.
He got all the leverage.
Yeah, because they can't franchise him.
If I'm not mistaken, they can't trade him.
No trade clause.
And he has no franchise tag.
So, it's going to be,
they're at his mercy.
The question is,
do they believe they can go get somebody?
I mean, they signed Trey.
Check this out.
Trey Lance says his confidence is higher now
than it was when he entered the league.
He played only eight games,
including four starts in San Francisco,
traded up to draft him in 2021.
Lance will go through the season
competing with Cooper Rush
for the backup job behind Dak.
My confidence is much higher than what it was when I got into the NFL, for sure.
I kind of didn't know what to expect.
I think that's probably what most rookies, if not all of them,
at one point or another throughout the first year,
I feel great where I am, where I'm at.
Continue to get better, continue to learn,
continue to be a better quarterback.
Dak threw 590 passes last season
Lance has thrown 420 passes
since high school
including none last
season in Dallas
listen
maybe Trey Lance is the future
but again like
I said I would if I
was Dak I would bet on myself
nah they come to you with a number now
if they come to you with
if they come with you with a Jared Goff type number
yeah oh yeah you taking that
yeah I ain't playing with you
but again I think they work on their own time
their own timing as far as
especially in contract negotiations like this
because you still have Michael Parsons
you have to pay you still have C have Michael Parsons you have to pay.
You still have CeeDee Lamb you have to pay.
But again, when it comes to quarterback position,
you always want to take your quarterback and you want him to know that he is valued
and he is a quarterback of the future.
So I'm not sure why it's taking so long
because I think if I'm not mistaken,
all the other quarterbacks have been taken care of.
But I'm sure it's going to happen.
It's very soon.
Two as well.
Yeah, Jared Go golf got his money he penciled down i think he's like 52 53 million
burrow is the most he's at 55 i think justin herbert is a little bit under that like 52 53
so all those guys are kind of like the 52 53 mark right um obviously you see pat Mahomes did his number he came in at $45 million
they just gave him some money up front
let's just keep this thing together
let's see if we can keep Stone Cold
let's see if we can keep running back
with some of the key players
obviously they were not able to keep LeJarius
LeJarius Sneed there
they did it right
they didn't franchise him
they allowed him didn't franchise him. They allowed it.
Don't disrespect him.
There's certain players you can disrespect
with their franchise tag, and there's certain players
don't even play like that.
Don't even play like that.
Mahomes has one complaint about the
Chiefs' 2024 schedule, and it's not playing
on Christmas. The Chiefs kick off the first regular
season game with a banner ceremony
September 5th against the Ravens. From
there, they have a Black Friday game,
a Christmas Day game, a
Saturday game, two Sunday night games,
two Monday night games, but it's actually when
their bye week falls that he sees the slight
issue. The only thing that I don't
like is the early bye. The
early bye is always tough, but other
than that, I'm just ready to play football.
I love his mindset.
I really do.
The earliest I've ever had a bye, we got to do Christmas,
a Wednesday night game, which would be like a four-day weekend.
But at the same time, that week six bye is Texas Tech bye too.
So I can't even go see my college team play.
So check this out, Ocho.
They start the season.
Obviously, you win the Super Bowl,
you start the season deserving of soul.
So you got the Black Friday game,
which is a game after Thanksgiving.
You got the Christmas Day game.
You got a Saturday game.
Two Sunday night games, two Monday night games.
Well, my homeboy, everybody want to see you, bro.
Yeah, they do.
Rightfully so.
To whom much is given
much is required
and plus the fact
the matter is
Ocho
that Black Friday game
we selling that to Amazon
well if I'm gonna
spend a hundred
hundred and fifty million dollars
I need
I need box office
who's more box office
than my homeboy
okay
Netflix
they're streaming
the Christmas Day game I need box office who's more box office than my homeboy. Okay? Netflix, they're streaming the Christmas Day game.
I need box office.
Who more box office
in my homeboy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And listen,
also,
and I hate to bring this up,
Travis Kelsey
is connected to a young lady
that has an entirely
different demographic
and age group
watching those games as well.
Well, but don't bring that up on Ochoa, because they're going to get
mad at us. No, I'm
just telling you. I'm just telling you.
And she's made it her business
to let people know she will
be at these games. Follow her, man.
She will be at these games.
And what does that do? NFL, follow the
money.
Come on, now. It's
chess, not checkers.
Chess, not checkers. At the end of the the day remember what their bottom line is no matter what they tell you what they say it's all about the money
at the end of the day so i'm not i'm not i'm not upset i'm not upset about you know that's tough
i mean that's an early bye week because you think about all those games that they're gonna have
on black friday on on christmas day Christmas Day, and those Sunday night games.
Yeah, the NFL could have did them a solid and put their bye week around week 10, week
11.
Yeah.
I mean, our bye weeks when I was there always felt kind of like right in the middle, like
week eight, week nine, Ocho.
So, you know, I'm good.
Yeah.
I don't even know.
It's so funny.
You know what I did on my bye week?
Especially if we had a winning record.
My bye week,
I didn't take no bye.
I go play pickup soccer
the whole time.
Every year.
Now, Ocho, I think they got to give you the whole week off.
Mike Shanahan won't give you the whole week off.
Whoa, a whole week?
Yeah, they get the whole week off.
Where that rule came from?
I guess it's in the new
CBA.
CBA?
Hey,
that's crazy.
That's crazy.
A whole week?
Man, we got
Mike, you know, we go out there and we might get that's crazy a whole week? man we got my
you know
we go out there
like we might get
Thursday
we might get
half of day Thursday
so
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
and then we had to be back
Monday to work
and be worked out
by noon
three days?
man
look here
that ain't no damn
bye week.
I'm just telling you what we had.
I don't know
what the other teams did.
I can't speak to that.
But I'm telling you what the Broncos had
when we were there.
Yeah.
I remember clearly
all my bye weeks. I remember clearly all my bye weeks.
I remember clearly all my bye weeks. And every time we, we, we had practiced Monday.
I think we practiced Monday. I think we practiced Tuesday and we'd be off Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
And we, and we had to be back Monday, man, that whole week I'm in Miami.
I never forget. I play soccer at KSP I'm in Miami. I never forget.
I play soccer at KSP,
Kendall Soccer Park.
I play at Urban Soccer 5.
At that time,
it was in, in Wynwood.
Man, I'm playing soccer
the whole week.
And then I come back Monday
ready and back to football.
Mm-mm.
My dad wasn't doing that.
My dad wasn't doing that. Shannon wasn't doing that and it wasn't no situation
it wasn't no situation where like hey
Mike you know such and such got the whole week
man please
he don't care what nobody else doing
hell no hell to the no
cause he gonna tell us hey
what we trying to do that ain't what they trying to do
yeah you can't run your players into the ground
man, please
we're so happy
getting up noon
because that means we can take the flight
and it's still two hours
but at least you got
Friday, Saturday
man, you gotta leave Sunday night
you can't chance it
I can't chance leaving Friday
or Monday morning
and be late and
the plane, something happen with the plane
or you miss a flight. Oh, hell
no. Man, Mike, lose your damn mind.
Y'all got fined back then?
What?
The fine wasn't
that much though because
I think like
a fine might be like say a fine like two thousand dollars
if you paid if you paid if you paid a thousand dollars in front of the team
he would if you paid a thousand dollars in cash right he would reduce a thousand fly yeah okay
okay okay and so it's the fact because here's the fact down there. So somebody, we might not know you was late.
We might not have known you done something.
But you coming out there to hand Mike some money, we know you done effed up.
So that's kind of what it was, because it's kind of like the team know that you let them down in somewhere.
Maybe you was late for a meeting.
You missed a meeting.
But that walk-off, baby.
Like, we had that walk through
that walk through at 11 o'clock
man please man they see Mike
man
man boy you better not
be late for that walk through Mike didn't play
that and then here's the thing
Ocho you know the walk through we're not
going full speed but it's a nice
speed now it ain't no good
yeah yeah yeah.
Man, Ocho Watsi.
Let me take a glass
of Ocho.
Why them dudes start coming out there with
Timbs?
Come on, man.
Come on, Ocho.
Man. Man.
They had on Tim.
Man, them Jokers coming out there.
Hold on.
It was cold, right?
When it was cold, though.
Yeah, but I'm just, Ocho, that's not the point.
Them Jokers coming out there, they got the jeans on and then got sweats over the jeans.
Jeans.
Oh, Lord have mercy.
Man, Mike, hey.
Mike called that thing up. He said,
y'all ever come out here like that again?
Right. I said, see?
I knew y'all were going to F it up.
I knew it.
I knew it. But they
knew how Mike was.
Ocho, we got, we were having a
practice. This was in 97. Anybody that was on that team, they could tell, Ocho, we got, we were having a practice. This was in 97.
Anybody that was on that team, they could tell, Ocho,
we were about 30 minutes
through from practice. Now, mind you, we're already
out there. We've already been out there
about an hour and 15 minutes.
Yes, sir. Mike started the whole
practice over. The whole
practice? The whole practice. And I'm
talking about it snowing like a bee.
I'm talking about it so cold, Ocho.
Look, I don't know what happened.
It was a team drill.
And I might have started it.
You dropped the ball.
I think I dropped the ball.
Rod dropped the ball through a swing past the TD.
He dropped the ball.
Yeah.
Man.
Mike blew that whistle. Man. Mike blew that whistle.
Man, Mike blew that whistle.
Start this dish over.
I'm like, okay.
So, you know, me, Ocho, you know, I'm like, oh, you know, my bad, fellow, my bad.
So, I'm thinking we about to start the period over.
Right.
This man start stretching and everything over.
Bet I want to fight Mike.
Hell nah.
Yes.
Start your whole mofo practice over.
Bro.
Oh, no.
Look here.
When I say Mike ran a tight ship and that foolishness, we didn't have no foolishness.
Because, hey, bro, look here.
Don't y'all mess this up.
He was like, okay, guys,
if we do X, Y, and Z,
hey, such and such.
Man, look here.
Hey, we had to decide
we're going to do it.
We're going to go out there.
We're going to play.
We're going to practice our ass off.
Don't y'all mess this up.
Yeah.
Because we know we had,
hey, we were a veteran-led team.
Like, Mike let us release the team. We'll fight all you a, we were a veteran led team. Like Mike let us
release the team. We'll fight all
you young mofos up in this thing. Don't y'all
mess this up. Man, Mike
started the whole practice from stretching.
I thought we was going to go back to the
period, the start of the period. Right, right, right,
right. This man
done started the whole mofo practice over and
we got to go stretch all over again.
I couldn't even be hot because I was so damn cold.
Yeah.
And that's what Elko.
And when I tell people the mindset that you have to have,
that I believe you need to have, Mike ain't let nothing skate.
Right.
Like, you drop a pass and
like,
the defense might do something, might blow an assignment
and defense also know, Mike, we got it.
Mike say, no, if we don't,
run that again.
Uh-oh. Oh, a drop
pass. Oh, that ain't sliding.
Oh, no.
Hell no. What?
So, Mike was like tom causton and basically
he didn't like look mike was very very like his time like time was like the meeting starts at
this time with mike when mike walked down them steps don't you walk your ass in behind him
right so everybody was we understood when Mike come in that room
everybody needs to be in their seat
if you're not in there you might as well
just go ahead and chalk it up like I said one time
I was late
I don't think he would have known I was late
it just so happens I was offensive player of the week
and when he called my name I didn't come down to get
the awards
hey I was
I was standing out, I was outside the
B-room looking at him like,
but no, but you might
look, be on time. That was
his number one thing. Be on time.
Practice started, I mean, meeting started this time,
practice started this time,
so forth and so on. That was really
his only thing, and then he let
the veteran players, he let us police the locker
room. What was supposed to transpire
because a lot of times, Ocho,
we put
out fires before he got to Mike.
He didn't even know anything about it.
And I think that's where veteran leadership
comes in at and that's why you
can never have a real enough of
quality vets. I ain't letting, nah,
nah, nah.
Get your ass in the meeting room.
Get off the phone. Your problem, you're on the
phone too much. That's why you're not
playing. Talk about, man, they're messing over me.
Nah. I pull the film. I say,
see, you messing over us.
Right. Get in there.
But we needed that, Ocho.
You need, and until like, you
be in a situation, Ocho, you don't really know
what it takes to win until you in a winning situation.
And you can say that's why the 49ers had all that damn success.
If you go back and look at the 49ers, you look at when Mike Holman got to the Packers and they started to win consistently.
You I guarantee you I can go.
I don't really know how the Patriots did things, but I can tell you why they won.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Listen, my time there with the Patriots, I understood why they won within the first week.
Mm-hmm.
Within the first week.
Bill Belichick, he ran a tight ship.
Got to.
No one had to explain what the Patriot way was in just the way everyone conducted themselves and
that's from the top all the way to the bottom yep from the top all the way to the bottom
from the cafeteria to the training room i'm like oh okay now i understand now i get it yeah now
obviously 90 of that was also having number 12 and that key centerpiece at the helm of everything but man unbelievable i
tell people all the time people ask me well what was it like playing for belichick what was it
like being on the patriots i say listen i've never been to the army never been to the military i'm
not a navy seal but if i had to take a guess the discipline instructed it takes to be in the armed
forces it's what it takes to play for the goddamn patrons.
Yeah.
Same,
same thing,
same concept.
And,
um,
I,
I come to understand that the ability check has a,
uh,
a background.
I think his dad was at the Navy coach at the Naval Academy.
And that is why he ran it the way he did.
And that's exactly what that environment felt like.
And see,
that's why it never bothered me.
My grandfather was in the military.
So I understood what a structured environment was.
Oh, so you was used to it.
It didn't bother me.
My grandmother, hey, when she said,
be up at a certain amount of time,
we're going to go pick peas
or we're going to hit these fields.
Right.
We got to go pick up pecans
or whatever the case may be.
All right, boys, such and such
going to come by tomorrow.
Okay. I already know what that means. That man coming by, he going to pick us up atans or whatever the case may be. All right, boys, such and such going to come by tomorrow. Okay.
I already know what that means. That man coming by, he going to pick us up at 7 o'clock.
That means you get your butt up, you know,
wash your face, brush your teeth, be ready
to hit that truck. Right.
I understood that. So
it was never a problem to me. Coach Reeves,
he read Coach Reeves was a
iron nose, old school
Tom Landry.
No bull jive, no BS.
You jump off sides in training camp, you run a lap.
Sometimes you make the whole team run.
Hey, I can't imagine grown men running no laps, man.
You can imagine it.
You can imagine it because it happened.
I don't know if anybody's in the chat that was on those teams.
Coach Reed was, I was with Coach Reed from 90 to 92.
Go ask him.
Go ask him.
And you heard Ocho?
Man, they put you on that Ubi.
You ever did the Ubi where you paddle like this here?
No, what's that?
It's a bike.
But if so, if you got like a hamstring issue or something like that that's how
you get your cardio okay man he ran me up out of there man doing that uv for 30 minutes 30 minutes
man you go all out for a minute you break for a minute all out for a minute you break for a minute
for 30 man please oh chill oh i came up with that thing after a day. I said, I ain't hurt no more.
I ain't hurt no more, Ocho. Hell no.
Ocho, check this out.
Zach Wilson called the trade
bittersweet, but grateful for fresh starts.
The Jets traded
Wilson and a seventh-round pick to
the Broncos. Obviously, there's bittersweet
moments in everything, Wilson said of the trade. to the Broncos. Obviously there's bittersweet moments and everything.
Wilson said of the trade.
I'm grateful for my experience there for experiences there and the guys,
I miss the guys out there, everything.
But at the same time, a fresh start is good.
I'm excited to attack a new challenge.
Wilson gets a fresh start.
It remains to be seen whether he wins the starting job.
He's vying.
He's vying for the Broncos starting job with
Jax Stidham, first round draft pick, Bo
Nix is also in the competition.
Ocho?
Hey,
Zach Wilson.
That's my guy.
You know, I love Zach.
I've been rooting for him since he left
BYU. Obviously,
unfortunate circumstances
being in New York,
but we all need a fresh start.
Sometime you're in a relationship,
and when you break up,
you find something better.
And I think the situation he's in now is something better.
I like Jairus Stidham.
He's nice.
I love Bo Nix.
But the starting quarterback for the Broncos
will be Zach Wilson, week one.
I'm telling you now, so it's not a surprise to anyone in the chat or the rest of the world that actually sees this clip.
Zach needed a fresh start.
He needed a change of scenery, and he got that.
And on top of having a change of scenery, he has a quarterback coach, quarterback guru, you would think, and Mr. Sean Payton that did wonders with Drew Brees, and I think he's going to do wonders with Zach Wilson.
Okay.
And I'm standing on that.
All right.
Y'all heard it here first.
Let's go, Zach.
I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company.
The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche
into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there.
And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.
Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Man, this is some Florida shit if I ever seen it. But how the hell did he get in there?
That man is bathing in my toilet.
And he's not a pet.
I don't know where he came from.
A little baby going on?
It's a grown man.
Came from the sewer?
I like that.
Boy, Jalen, you might want to get used to that.
But you're in Florida now.
You're in Florida.
Alligators?
Alligators?
Everywhere.
Yeah.
Iguanas?
Everywhere.
Yeah.
Get used to that.
Now, I don't know how the alligator, I mean, the iguana went through the sewer system and came up through the toilet.
I've seen it happen with snakes because snakes, they crawl and
get into everything.
Yeah.
But you got to be you got to get
you got to get used to that.
That's normal.
I'm talking about alligators
everywhere here, man.
Golf courses.
Yeah.
When you ride, you ride by the
canal.
What the hell you expect?
Where they going to go?
Y'all keep going further and
further out into the Everglades,
into the marshlands.
They gotta go somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah, most definitely.
Most definitely.
Listen,
you have to learn
to coexist with them.
You gotta learn
to coexist with them.
Nah,
I don't wanna coexist with them
because
they end up being
I got one of my dogs
and then every alligator
I see, I'm gonna kill it.
Oh,
but if you, listen,
if you buy any
of the homemade
lakes, oh, they got them
gators out there now because you got
dudes that's in the street that want
to own alligators. They get them when they're
small and then when they get too big
they let them out and let them go.
That's what happened with those iguanas. That's what happened
with those snakes.
That doesn't have any natural predators.
And they get bigger and bigger.
And they eat up all the natural, you know,
eat up all the raccoons, all the possums.
They eat up all the things.
So I'm going to try to stay out of Florida.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Matter of fact, you know, I just got my real estate license.
So if you want to come down here,
you know, I can get a place for you real quick
real quick, I put a list up, Southwest Ranch
got some nice places, we got some
I don't like the gators, I'm going to get all the gators
out my man made
late, before I
come down there
because me and gators don't get along
because anything to harm my dog, we don't get along
no, no, your dog
your dog ain't going to be outside nowhere.
They too little.
Yeah, my dog be outside.
How you going to let them little dogs outside?
You'll lose them.
No, they don't.
They be in the yard playing.
Nah, man.
Nah, you can't have them.
They too, come on, man.
Nah, I got a big one too.
Wait, you got a big dog?
Mm-hmm.
What kind of dog you got? A Borbo. Wait, you got a big dog? What kind of dog you got?
A boar bull.
Oh, that's right.
You did tell me that.
Okay.
They big, big as hell.
Like a bull master family.
Yeah.
Same family.
Just a South African master.
Yeah.
Same family.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Do you understand?
Okay.
Do you understand how out of pocket you have to be for Kelly Rowland to have to check you?
It's interesting to see how some rushed
off the steps with arm in her face
stepping on her dress and some will wait
patiently for it. Check a look at this video, Ojo.
What the hell is security doing?
She stepping all on
her dress. She pushing her.
Why is she telling...
Lady, go on back down.
You done messed it up.
Now, nobody want to hear what you got to say.
Kelly addressed the situation today.
Right.
This is what she had to say.
The woman knows what happened.
I know what happened.
And I have a boundary.
And I stand by those boundaries.
And that is it.
And there were other women that attended that carpet who did not quite look like me.
And they didn't get that scolding or pushed off or told to get off.
And I stood my ground.
She felt like she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground. She felt like she had to stand her as well. But listen,
in just her talking and explaining her piece on what
happened, I could sense the pain
in her voice.
It's embarrassing.
Why are you rushing her up the stairs?
For what?
This is what happens. you and i both walk
the red carpet okay they said okay mr sharp okay the whole look hard up down the sharp or they say
uh ocho cinco so yeah okay right here right here so i'm standing i'm standing right here i'm getting
pictures okay right here yeah can you get right here here. Chin down a little bit.
Right here.
Okay, take a few.
Go a little further.
Right here, right here, right here.
All right, Mr. Sharp, Mr. Shannon, Shannon, Shannon, can you turn back?
So, you know, you stopping.
Right.
To make sure everybody wants to get their pictures.
Right, right.
And so what happened, if you notice, she's walking up the steps and she turns back around and she waves because clearly somebody said, Kelly, Kelly.
They called him the name. Yeah. Want to get another shot of her.
And she like, OK, now you got it. You got it. You got to go.
Unhand me, woman. You step it on. First of all, you step on the lady train.
Yeah. Now, OK, you see the gentleman come down. OK, he's taking over. There's a reason why he's higher up than you so let him take it over from here you're going back down you see you see her
she turned around she's waving because somebody probably said kelly kelly one more picture right
here right here right here over here they hold up the hand over here right here right here
and the lady is saying you need to move it along. Well, she was moving along until somebody said, Kelly,
and said they wanted another picture.
So I'm just trying to give people an idea.
And I'm not going to the Oscars, I'm saying,
but I've been to a couple of events that required,
you know, you have to take pictures.
And then they said, well, Shannon, Mr. Sharp,
would you mind doing an interview with, say, People magazine
or this or that?
And you're like, okay, sure.
But that seems to me what transpired is that someone called Kelly to take another picture.
They want to get another shot of her.
And the lady, like, I got a job to do.
And so, yeah.
Yeah, I hope the young lady, I'm not sure if she has had the opportunity to apologize to her.
Obviously, she has a job to do, and I think her job was to keep the carpet going.
Keep it moving.
Yeah, so it didn't get congested.
But again, she shouldn't have done it.
No.
I mean, she shouldn't have done it at all.
Kelly, we love you.
Kelly, man, she shouldn't have done it at all. Kelly, we love you. You know, stand your ground.
She stepped on the dress.
And listen, you're lucky she didn't snap.
Yeah.
You're lucky she didn't snap.
Yeah.
So she's like, okay, let me build up a professional setting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, be professional.
Right, right, right.
But, hey, you stepped on the lady.
First of all, you done stepped on the lady's dress.
Mm-hmm.
Now, boy, just, I mean, because, you know, a lot of those dresses are like, you done stepped on a lady's dress. Mm-hmm. Now, boy, just because
a lot of those dresses are like,
hey, you done
had anything to eat that whole day.
You done made sure you gonna be able to
fit in that dress.
You looking good.
Man, you stepped on that dress.
And here she go ruining the moment.
Yes.
Get your damn hands off me.
Get your hands off me.
Shut the shit up, you damn.
Yeah.
And you know, hey, because you know black people, we turn into betriloquists.
When we get upset, we start talking.
You know, no mouth moving.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, that's how them people, when black people get upset,
they get that betriloquist voice.
Ain't no lips moving, but they talking through their teeth.
But you can hear them, though.
Oh, yeah.
You can hear them clear as day.
Get your good hands off me.
But Kelly, you showed a lot of restraint.
And you see, I don't know if this Kelly's PR person or this is her assistant.
She told that lady, get your hands off my balls.
Listen, she held her composure very well.
She held her composure very well.
Watch the lady to the right.
Watch this lady.
Watch this lady.
You see the gentleman come.
Watch the lady come back down.
Oh, she did step on it.
I just saw her.
She stepped on it.
She looked down.
Don't touch me.
Okay.
Hey, you know, you know, you know with Black folk
now, when we, when we, when we,
when we use that finger,
you know, Black folk, when we use that finger and point
to you, now, right now, you
got one, you got one more time.
Now, you already overstepped your boundary.
You put your hands on me. Don't put your hands on me.
And you hear the thing.
It's like, yeah.
You see, and they be talking to you.
Oh, yes.
And they got their hand in the back.
Oh, shoot.
Get your hands off me.
Kill you again now.
See, that's the thing, Ojo.
They tell you, oh, yeah, you're right.
You're right.
But they still got their hand in the small of your back.
Yeah.
What Kelly should have did, see,
when you see a man do his hand like, they ball that
they don't get the point. They put that right there.
When they put that right there in your face,
leave it alone.
Leave it alone.
You don't step on that lady's dress by the point.
Got her hand all in the way of the picture.
Like she's her man.
That's the way your man
put his hand in the small of his woman's back.
To guide you.
To guide you up the stairs.
Yeah.
Get your ass out the way, man.
Peanut head.
Get your hands off her.

And that's enough for me.
I don't like parties.
I don't like clubbing.
I don't like being around a group of people, you know, immediate

We greatly appreciate your support.
Dennis Vare says,
Shannon defended Kelly Rowland,
who's a black woman.
Oh, y'all hate me.
Hate women, bro.
Man, look here.
Man, I don't know.
Look here. See, people, they'll start something on the internet and once someone says it
they take it like wildfire and this stem from we had i had gary owen on gary owen is a comedian
there was a running joke in which he said, I'm Gary Owen. I have autism.
He was making a joke about what Amanda Seals had said.
He's saying, I have autism.
I can say I have autism, even though I haven't received a diagnosis.
He was making light of a situation.
It was a running joke throughout the entirety of the interview. He said at the end of it, he said, you know, I just came on here to get you canceled because you don't support black women.
And I just wanted to come on here and say that.
So it was a running joke. And black women, you know how we are in our community, black women.
So when have there ever been a situation
in which I haven't supported black women?
So Gary Owen didn't call nobody out of their name.
He didn't call them out of their name.
He didn't say anything derogatory about them.
But that was, you see how stuff gets started?
So I just, but nobody can tell you a situation
where I haven't supported Black women.
Now, all I do is tell you that
I support my sister. I support my mom.
I speak in glowing terms
about my grandmother, my kids,
but
y'all just took it and ran with
it because that seemed like the right
thing to do, especially now.
I'm an algorithm. It took me a while
to realize, but I've been informed
that Shannon's an algorithm.
So when you say something about Shannon,
it's going to shoot to the top of the charts.
That's why you see so many podcasts.
Most of their topics,
most of their most views, they're talking about
me, what I say.
You and I, we don't really talk
about what nobody says on our podcast, don't you?
Because we can create content without regurgitating what someone else said.
Right, right.
But they took off and ran with it.
And I really never addressed it.
But since Dennis brought it up, bro.
Yeah, Dennis.
Bro, I'm learning.
If you see the interview with Lavelle Crawford, I'm learning having talked to a lot of people behind the scenes.
Everything doesn't need to be addressed.
People are going to say what they're going to say.
But Shanna, keep your head up.
Keep making your money and keep moving along.
So for all of those people out there that don't believe I protect, don't protect black women.
That's your right.
That's your right.
I'm not finna stand on no soapbox and said I did X, Y, and Z.
And I did this, this, and that.
That's not my place.
Y'all run with that story.
Wish y'all the best.
Okay.
Brandon Ugawu.
Hey, like your interview with Kel Mitchell last week.
I only asked, why did you ask him about quiet on set documentary?
Did he watch it?
What was his thoughts on it?
Especially when mentioned his producer, Dan Snyder, yelling at him.
He made reference to it.
A lot of times, even though it was a long interview,
and sometimes, you know, you want to ask questions and you get kind of distracted and you get sidetracked because me, I ask a question, Ocho.
I move out the way, let him talk.
A lot of times, that's why the majority of my interviews go so long, because I don't cut people off and try to move them to another topic. I want them to explain it to cover that.
If I ask them a question,
answer the question.
And if you need to expand on it,
go ahead.
I'm not going to cut you off.
I want,
we're going to take as much time as you need to discuss whatever you want to discuss.
But I think he made reference to Dan Snyder.
He didn't say his name,
but I'm assuming when he said he
had some issues and some things went on,
I'm assuming,
and that's very presumptuous of me,
but I think that's
what he was talking about.
I apologize for not going
as in-depth, but some
of the things that he was talking about, I thought
that was kind of
more, and he seemed to about, I thought that was kind of.
Kind of more, and he seemed to want to expand on that, the situation, what he went through with his mental situation, the things that he went through with his first wife, a lot of the things that he went through growing up and being on Nickelodeon and things that transpired. And so I let them, you know, I ask the question and sometimes they're short,
which means they want to move on.
And then sometimes they want to be long,
which I'll let them take
as much time as they need.
Boss lady said,
Shannon,
boss lady said,
Shannon,
if she feeds you cake
on the wedding night,
sex drive should stay right.
Men can't get attention
from women,
but it takes a rare individual to check off list.
Do you see us coming together?
I don't let society dictate what I should do.
Society says, okay, Sheldon, you're a man.
You're 56.
You haven't been married.
You probably shouldn't be married by now,
or at least be married.
Why?
So when I run into a fight,
when I run into a buyer,
we're in society to help me.
Ooh.
That's a good one.
Society tells you all the things
that they should do.
You should do.
Why am I listening to society?
They don't help us.
They don't help you, huh?
Help me do what?
I mean, nothing.
I mean, if I do something, I'm going to do it on my own volition.
They say, you know, hey, man, you need to start wearing them tight clothes.
Why?
What you buy?
If you buy me some new clothes, you buy me some loose-fitting clothes,
I wear them.
You can send them to the volume.
High-end, y'all know I wear high-end.
So, bring me some high-ends, some LV, some Dior.
You know, y'all want to buy some John Elliott, whatever hey send me some of my own merch I wear hold on matter
of fact hey chat if y'all sending clothes send me some dickies send me dickies I wear 34 listen
I you bonk you laughing boy I wear 34 34 jeans I like black, and the khakis. In the top, I need
a large. I'm just saying,
if y'all want to send anything, send me
some dicks. Yeah. I just, like, at
the end of the day, at once upon
a time, Ocho, maybe I, like, okay,
this person thinks this, let me be.
Man, you try to please
people, and the one person that you
should be pleasing is the most disappointed.
That's you. Yeah. So now, I'm like now i'm like well if it i'm gonna be happy i'm gonna go where i want to go i'm gonna
do what i want to do but it's interesting to see but like i said i i do listen to people
that have you know ideas and i'm just learning to let things just go because people are going
to say what they want to say yeah um everybody has an opinion about who they think I am and what they think I do.
Although the majority of the people that's in the chat or have an opinion
about me has never, ever met me personally, have never seen me out.
Oh, Shannon only like dates white girls.
Oh, Shannon don't support black women.
Oh, Shannon like this.
Oh, he, but y'all never seen me with anybody.
So is that what it is? Because y'all don't know exactly what I'm doing. You assume.
I'm Michael Kasson, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company,
the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood,
CEO of Tubi, for a conversation
that's anything but ordinary.
We dive into the competitive world of streaming,
how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold,
connecting audiences with stories
that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that, and hear how leaders like Angeli are
carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good
Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details
of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
So, do you lay awake at night worried about who I'm sleeping with,
what I'm doing, where I'm going?
I'm just trying to figure out why y'all care.
Because I don't care about anybody,
who's seeing who, who's going.
I don't care what they got to do with me.
Man, you know, such and such.
Man.
It just really never.
I don't know.
I guess that because the way I grew up.
My grandma didn't like all that talking, you know, gossiping and stuff.
And we definitely wasn't allowed to say anything.
My grandmother would slap the taste out your mouth.
She said, boy, what I told you about talking behind people right you know what she
meant by that though cho oh yeah repeating what you heard somebody say yeah and by the time it
even got to you is that story wrong than a motherfucker so i learned my lesson at a very
young age in my own home i you know like you know we do stories and like, OK, I'm repeating. But as far as having a conversation about something, some gossip or whatever, it might be true.
But I ain't got nothing to do with me.
I ain't got nothing to do with me.
So, uh, no, I mean, can get attention from a woman.
Yeah, they can.
And I think.
I think I think we all
like, you know,
yeah, I'm 56. I'm not dead.
Do I like when women say, I like
what you have on or I like when you have a
nice, oh, you're nice, blah, blah, blah. Sure.
Yeah.
But it doesn't like, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You messing
with a heavyweight.
Hey, 500 and 0. you messing with a heavyweight I'm 100 hey
500 and 0
I got some
I got somebody for you
but I'm gonna talk about that later
okay
I appreciate that
I appreciate that
I appreciate you talking about that later
hey
we will listen
you remember
don't forget now
you need a plus one for that wedding
oh
and Ocho
we left off Memorial Day too
oh that's this weekend
that's this weekend
that's Monday oh it's this weekend, isn't it? That's this weekend.
That's Monday.
Oh, it's on.
Man, we... I don't really celebrate that either.
Too much going on out there, man.
Not, bro.
I mean, the thing...
Too much going on.
The holidays that I mentioned,
with the exception of Juneteenth,
were the only days that, like...
We didn't...
I mean, like Memorial Day
and stuff like that.
I mean, we went to the park
on the
fourth of july but it was like yeah i just i'm like like mother's day you know my grand my
grandmother father's day you know the church you know those are big in the black father's day and
mother's day big because you're going to church you're taking your black ass to church you might
not go you might not go for two times a year but mother's day father's day you're taking your black ass to church. You might not go over two times a year, but Mother's Day and Father's Day,
you're taking your ass to church.
Easter too?
Yeah, three times.
So you're going three times.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you're going three times
and church anniversary.
Remember that church anniversary?
You may go to church anniversary.
Church anniversary,
but Easter, Father's Day, and Mother's Day,
oh, you're going to church.
Oh, yeah.
What else we got?
What else we got here?
We got, well, Dr. Frank L. Bellarmine said,
it's Memorial Day weekend, so we want to barbecue.
What other foods and drinks y'all look forward to at a barbecue?
Any special family barbecue memories?
Barbecue memories, what I'm looking
for. I need my
baked chicken. I need my ribs.
I need my macaroni.
I need my macaroni.
And I think it's greens.
I don't think...
They got candy yams
at barbecues, right? Hell no. That's it. Just them three. I ain't think... They got candy yams at barbecues, right?
Hell no.
Yeah, that's it.
Just them three.
I ain't been to a barbecue
in so long, Unc.
I ain't been to a barbecue.
The family dynamic
when grandma passed
in 2018.
Well, I ain't been to nothing
like that in a minute.
I ain't been to...
Coach O,
people gonna look at me like I'm crazy.
In 56 years, I've been to one family reunion.
Damn.
We didn't go.
We didn't have no 4th of July
cookouts. We didn't have nothing like that.
We didn't do that.
That's why holidays,
the holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving,
my mom would come down for Thanksgiving.
All my aunts and aunts always came over for Christmas and Thanksgiving and Mother's Day and Father's Day.
But those were the days that we celebrated.
So I didn't really go.
We didn't really go anywhere.
We didn't we didn't go to no family reunions and things.
Like I said, I went to one.
I probably was.
Nine. things like i said i went to one i probably was nine i came my last family reunion again obviously this in the family structure in the family dynamic it all it all went to shit once
my grandma passed i mean she kept everything together yeah so the i think the last cookout that I had, I retired.
So that was 2004.
That was the last time that I attended the barbecue.
Matter of fact, you know what we could do?
What?
This is the great idea.
Since you haven't done it in so long, I haven't done it in so long,
we can choose a state
and invite everybody from NICAP
and have one big barbecue.
Exactly.
See, I think that people,
see, when people,
when I tell people something,
I'm the most outgoing introvert
you're going to meet.
People don't believe that.
Right.
But when I say I don't do anything
outside of my house,
I don't.
That's why I'm so surprised when people talk so much about me when they've never met me.
They've never seen me at a function at a cookout.
Unless you're from Glenville.
Now, somebody from Glenville says, oh, yeah, Sheldon had a cook, had his thing at his grandma's house and blah, blah, blah.
But ask the guys, just go ask people at Savannah State.
What was I like?
Oh, he was in his room he was working out doing parties
ask guys in Denver ask people in Baltimore
so that's why I'm so baffled
that people know so much about me
and people can speak in such terms
with such certainty
now if
Bucket said it
if Keith Burns said it
if Libby Sharp said it Ster Keith Burns said it if Libby Sharp
said it Sterling Sharp said it
take it to the bank
take it to the bank
my oldest daughter
if she say something
now my other kids gonna tell you with a
grid of certainty like yeah that's not my
dad but if it's not
one of them
don't y'all believe that bull jive yeah don't y'all believe it
but i don't i don't do anything like i said i don't when i grew up with my grandma we didn't
really go to people's house and and have cookouts and stuff like that went to my great-grandmother's
house and you know played softball or played basketball stuff like that but i just grew up
and then like my sister's eight years older than me, my brother's three years older than me.
And I remember like I used to try
to get my brother to play and sometimes he didn't want to play
basketball thing. And my grandma said, hey,
just go play by yourself.
So I learned to do
things by myself and to be alone.
Because once my brother
left for college, I was a sophomore
in high school. My sister's
eight years older than me. She ain't finna be hanging out with no
15-year-old. She's 23. She's dating.
So now,
I'm by myself.
I play a game. Coach bring me
home. I'm with my grandmother and my nephew.
So I learned
to be alone by
myself, and I'm okay with that.
And so,
somebody that's going to be with
me, they understand.
Yeah. This is who he is.
Kimber Northwood
Jr. said, oh, my question, do you see
Klay Thompson leaving Golden State
for another team?
Is the money right?
Golden State
probably has a number based on
his age,
based on where they are as a team,
what they want to go to.
Now, he's looking at Holiday.
He said, hold on.
Holiday just got like four years,
145, 135.
Hmm.
I think he's going to be looking for that type of number.
I don't know if Golden State,
if Golden State goes to that number,
sure, he'll stay. But
if, say, Orlando
or one of these young teams that needs
a veteran presence, a guy that
can shoot the three, catch and shoot, still
a good defender, he's not what
he once was on both ends of the court.
But he's still a solid player.
I can see him potentially
leaving. Maybe Miami.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like it.
Whoa, say, hey,
you said you're Nigerian.
So when are you visiting?
Like Ant and Chuck said,
bring your ass.
Love Legos.
Man, you know what?
I got to go back.
You know what?
I do.
That's my, huh? What you mean go back? I mean, come. Hell, you know what? I got to go back. You know what? I do. That's my...
What do you mean go back? I mean, come.
Hell, go back here.
That was probably
six, seven generations that ended
up coming from Nigeria.
I do
want to go to Africa because everybody says
it's beautiful. So you got to see it.
Say television doesn't do it justice.
Books and magazines don't do it justice.
Movies doesn't do it justice.
So I do want to see it for myself.
But the time that I want to go, I kind of want to go like I want to see the great migration.
I think that's like March, April, the rainy season.
You see all the animals out.
And I'm working that time.
But you know what?
I'm just going to have to break down and grow when I have time in the summer.
Probably not ideal, but hey, it is what it is.
I'll get an opportunity to go see.
Obviously, I want to do a safari.
I want to go to Joburg.
And then, you know, Robbins Island,
where they was housed.
What's his name?
Mandela.
Yeah.
Nelson Mandela.
Mr. Mandela was held.
I want to go to the passage of no return.
I want to see that with my own eyes.
There are certain things that I want to see.
That I think
I owe it to myself
to go see it.
Yeah.
A nightcap safari.
We got to do the cookout first. We got to do the cookout first.
We got to do the cookout first.
And have everybody come.
Everybody fly in.
I got the venue already.
Oh, you got it?
Yeah, I know exactly where to go.
Laney Ray said, I'm in the same volleyball league,
and I got to know, in your athletic prime,
who would have been better hitter or blocker on my team?
Me or Ocho?
Well, I got a higher vert than Ocho, for sure.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
There is, in no lifetime can you out-jump me.
Oh, Lord.
In no lifetime.
Ocho, you do realize I was an all-state triple jumper?
Do you do realize I was a triple jumper, too?
It just might not have been at state, but I was jumping.
No, I won state three straight years.
I held the state record.
You don't realize I held a state record for 35 years.
But you got to understand where you held a state record at.
You held a state record in a place where there was really no competition.
Now, where I'm from.
What part of Georgia?
Well, you know, when you go to the state meet you compete against everybody i mean you hold on i'll put it to you like this in the state of
georgia my senior i was the best jumper in the state of georgia i beat every class i was class
a and i jumped everybody in double a triple a and quad a. Well, come on down to Miami and we'll show you about jumping.
No, I cannot jump
you. I might not be able to
jump anybody. No, I cannot jump
you now, but I could.
No, even back then. I'm still in my
prime. I'm still in my prime.
Now listen, at the combine, I
had a 46-inch vertical.
And they asked me why I wasn't playing basketball.
I just saw your vertical. was 35 remember i put a
report i pull your report oh no that could i jump out you got one better you got one more point
you got one more point than i did i got 35 you got 36 i'm not talking about the nfl combine i'm
talking about when i was at the nba combine i jumped to 46. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. No, your combine was like 35.
Yes, that's the NFL combine,
but I also tried out for the Heat.
And at that combine...
Not with no 35-inch vertical you did at 6'1".
Not.
At that point,
at that point,
I was 6'3".
I'm 6'3".
I don't do it with the 6'1".
But you know, on average,
volleyball players have the highest vertical of all But you know, on average, volleyball players have
the highest berths of all
athletes. Yeah, they can jump.
They can jump, man, especially when it's time to spike.
Yeah. I mean,
they routinely is 40
and above. Yeah. I mean,
you think about how tall that net is,
and they have this up over the net?
Right. Matter of fact,
you know who played with me?
That was a very, very good volleyball player
that could have probably been pro,
but chose to obviously play in the NFL.
Danny Farmer that went to UCLA.
Remember Danny Farmer?
Yeah, well, UCLA used to have a really good volleyball team.
Hey, Danny, if you see this, man, I love you, man.
I haven't seen you since our Bengal days.
I hope all is well.
I hope life is going good, man.
I love you, baby.
Danny Farmer.
Yeah.
Good volleyball player.
I mean, I love watching volleyball in the Olympics.
I mean, you see, I mean, I remember the American team.
They had Destiny Hooker and they had Logan Tom.
And I think Karch Karai was the coach.
I don't know if he's still.
I don't know if he's still coaches, but I used to love watching...
I love watching them play.
If it comes on in college, I watch
Nebraska. I watch
Penn State and Texas.
Those are your perennial powerhouses
that I watch.
Yeah, I was
a decent volleyball
player in high school.
I don't know about all that, though, Joe. Yeah, I'm just decent I was a decent volleyball player in high school I don't know about all that though, Joe Yeah, I'm just telling you, man
Listen, at the net
You try to spike on me
And listen, I can dig like no other
Let me show you my technique now when it's time to dig
Okay
See my technique?
I dig that bitch right up out the ground
Don't nothing get by me Dig it right up out of the ground don't nothing get by me
dig it right up out of the ground
I don't know about that Ocho
but I'm going to take your word for it
I'm going to take your word for it Ocho
but uh
no Ash you already going someplace
you left us here
you left Jordan out here
so no you ain't going someplace. You left us here. You left Jordan out here.
And so, no, you ain't going nowhere.
We're going to leave you.
You always talk about, I'll be wanting to go.
I'll be wanting to go.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
So, no.
No.
Yeah.
And plus, you know, I'll be watching the Brazilians and the Italians and the volleyball yeah yeah yeah
I watch beach
volleyball also yeah which is much
more difficult oh yeah
Mr. May and Kerry Walsh
and then I think the Brazilian
team was I think one of them was named Larissa
but
beach volleyball you know they got beach volleyball
in college now, Ocho.
Yeah, in college?
Yes!
I think UCLA
just won the other day.
Nah, USC won
because Dane,
he goes to the gym.
They won the beach volleyball.
He won the beach volleyball gold medal in Atlanta
in 96. I think it was him and
Karch.
But the two most
famous was probably Karch and
Ken Steffens. And then, you know,
you remember the
Thin Beast?
Phil Dahlhauser?
Nah. He's like 6'8".
Damn.
Man, I look, I'm a sports
junkie. I mean, if it's
a sport, I'll watch. Bull
riding, did you know,
have you seen this new bull they got, Cool Whip?
Yeah, hey, he just,
I think he got one more buck off.
He might have surpassed him. He passed Bushwacker.
He passed Bushwacker? Bushwacker. Bushwacker had the record at 42. He had one more buck off. He might have surpassed Bushwacker. He had one more. He surpassed Bushwacker?
Bushwacker.
Bushwacker had the record at 42.
He had the record, yeah.
He did at 43.
So he a ranked bull.
Bushwacker.
Bushwacker was the man.
Hey, he was the real deal, boy.
Yeah, Bushwacker.
And they had a little yellow jacket.
It was three-time bull of the year.
E.T., the baddest
bull with that chambray.
A Charlotte and a Brahman bull named
Bodacious. That was
at Sammy Andrews Farm.
That was the baddest mofo around.
You know you bad when you got a
name named Bodacious.
Hey, you remember I rode a bull, right?
You remember that? You ain't ride Bodacious.
No, but I'm just saying I rode a bull at the PBR in Duluth, Georgia.
You saw that clip before, right?
Man, you stayed on that bull.
I stayed on the bull.
Listen, I stayed on the bull as long as some of the pros do.
Now, stop it.
That technically makes me a professional
bull rider. No, it does not make you a professional.
Yeah, yeah. I rode on...
It was a real PBR bull. Deja vu.
No.
I'm a bull rider.
Cool Whip, Bushwhacker,
Little Yellow Jacket,
E.T., Tahana,
Bodacious.
Yep. That's top six.
People like... People like Bushwhacker. Tahana, Bodacious. Yeah, that's top six. Look, people like
Bushwhacker
and Little Yellowjacket.
But for me,
it's Bodacious. Bodacious
is the best. They retired him.
That's how I know you.
Think about it. You so ranked
that they say, nah, we good.
Yeah. Listen, my favorite my favorite bull riders pat murray yeah pat murray and jb hey and jb mooney yeah jb mooney i think jb might
