This episode of Nightcap is brought to you by Cologard, a non-invasive colon cancer screening test.
Did you know colon cancer is considered one of the most preventable yet least prevented cancers? When caught in the early stages, colon cancer has a survival rate of 90%.
So screening and early detections are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths.
That's why the American Cancer Society recommends that if you're at average risk, you begin screening for colon cancer at age 45.
And a convenient way to do that is with Cologuard tests.
The Cologuard tests allow you to be in control of your colon cancer screening through prescription-based tests delivered to your door with none of the prep that's required for colonoscopy.
No liquid prep, no days off, no invasive procedures.
Plus, Cologuard test is affordable.
Most insured patients pay $0, and a follow-up colonoscopy is needed after a positive Cologuard test.
This is usually covered by insurance also.
So if you're 45 years of older and at average risk, you can ask your healthcare provider about screening for colon cancer with a Cologuard test.
You can also request a Cologuard prescription today at Cologuard.com slash podcast. The Cologuard test is
intended to screen adults 45 and older at average risk for colorectal cancer. Do not use Cologuard
test if you have had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease, and certain hereditary syndromes
or personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The Cologuard test is not a replacement
for colonoscopies. High-risk patients' Cologuard tests in adults 45 to 49
is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older.
False positives and false negatives can occur.
Cologuard is available by prescription only.
James Cook is entering the final year of his rookie contract and wants a lucrative extension.
With the two sides far apart, Bills has taken a step back from negotiation,
leaving Cook nothing to do but post cryptic emojis on social media.
Now Cook appears to have escalated things
by putting his Orchard Park home on the market this week.
The three-bedroom,
two-full bath,
two-and-a-half bath home,
which is located five minutes
from Highmark Stadium,
is listed at $710,000.
Oh, man.
You think that's a sign
that maybe he's moving
to a new place?
Maybe he's downsizing?
You never know.
My first year,
I'd have got a department anyway.
Instead of getting a house?
Yep.
I don't know.
I think they'll get it done.
He's too much of an important part of that offense.
Yeah.
From a production standpoint.
I agree.
I mean, look, 710 is not a lot of money.
I mean, he was a second round. I think James Cook was a second round pick, Ocho.710 is not a lot of money. I mean, he was a second round.
I think a James Cook was a second round pick, Ocho.
So that's not a lot.
Let me see.
That's not a lot of money for an NFL player, Ocho.
That's a lot of money for the average American that's trying to put food on the table, the roof over their head.
$710,000 is a lot of money.
So let me take that back.
That's not a lot of money for an NFL player.
That's a reasonably priced home
and it's very
close because you want to live as close
as you can I mean look I ain't trying to
have to drive 30 40 minutes to
get to work
especially a place like that Ocho it's cold
it's snow out man
I'm trying to get there fast as possible
I don't want to be shoveling all day man I I'm trying to get there fast as possible. Yep.
I don't want to be shoveling all day.
Man, I'll pay somebody
to do that.
Yeah.
And plus, I ain't going
to pay nobody
because I'm going
out of the garage.
So I don't give a damn
if there's no desire
on the sidewalk.
It ain't got nothing to do with me.
I ain't going out
the front door anyway.
Anybody coming to see me
ain't coming around
to the back.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
But look, I think that's the thing.
Like, I put my house on the market.
So if somebody bought a house, what'd that mean?
He relocating?
Nah.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Exactly, Ocho.
Things have gotten spicy between Chad's Ocho Cinco Johnson Bengals and Trey Hendrickson.
Uh-oh.
First, Executive VP Katie Blackburn said this on yesterday.
It is on him to be happy at some point, and that's what he thinks.
He should be happy at a certain point,
rates that maybe he doesn't think he'd be happy at.
Hendrickson told Batman a feed today.
He thought it was April Fool's joke.
Hendrickson called the comments
confusion because
he'd been talking to the team
about a long-term deal
for the last few years,
and it was communicated to him
that this something
would get done this offseason.
There's a little disappointing
because communication
has been poor
over the last couple of months.
That's something
I hold high regard.
They have not communicated
with my agent directly.
It's been something that's been a little bit frustrating.
As you said, he does not have any desires to be the highest paid or the first in line.
And he's been patient.
It's possible.
But made it clear that he's looking for incentives that will be out of my control or a short-term deal, given his stated desire for a long-term contract that includes guaranteed money.
35 sacks the last two years, Ocho.
Are you the first team all-pro?
He led the league in sacks last year with 17 and a half.
In this year?
That's tough.
That's tough, huh?
I think the Bengals are in a tough spot. Trey Henderson is in a tough spot. Bengal tough. That's tough, huh? I think the Bengals
are in a tough spot.
Trey Henderson
is in a tough spot.
Bengal fans
are in a tough spot.
The organization
is in a tough spot.
You know,
how do you pay,
you know,
your quarterback,
55,
you pay your wide receiver,
40,
40,
you pay your wide receiver,
1B,
35,
30,
whatever it may be.
And now you have Trey Henderson,
who deserves to be paid within the top three,
top five at his position.
How do you pay him as well?
I don't know.
Rob Peter to pay Paul.
Well, first of all, Peter and Paul already robbed you.
Yeah.
And then, you know, you listen to the comments that he says about
no not wanting to be the highest paid well the comments that katie made as well katie says
well you need to be happy was that my doorbell right
oh oh well yeah maybe um katie's saying that maybe you need to be happy with the rate that we're
offering you know on the deal that that that has been set or given to you but again you understand
that when it comes to the business side of things which is why asian is needed they always lowball
you you know and that's when negotiations have to happen so listen i hope both sides get something
done if trey henderson isn't able to play with the Bengals,
he's had one hell of a career here.
He's been a tremendous player, not just on the field,
but in the communities as well.
So I really want him to get what he deserves,
even if it's not with us.
I think so too, Ojo.
You know, the problem that I have is that
the contract is only binding when you want to renegotiate or break it.
Mm-hmm.
When they cut you because you haven't performed, there ain't no contract.
Ain't no issues.
And the fans don't come to your defense either.
No.
But we know that.
But let you ask for more money let you
hold out let you have gripes and situations about what you think you deserve based on your value and
the work you've put in oh boy you all type of selfish and devoted and disgruntled that but
that's always been the nature of the business for For some reason, I'm not sure how it happened or what fans have always thought
because their heart and their loyalty is to the team.
And I'm not sure how owners have fooled the fans
into believing that the players are the bad ones.
They do.
I'm not sure how they've done it,
but they've pulled the wool over our back.
Because they're framing like,
we're doing everything we possibly can.
You know, the salary cap is what it is
and what we try to do, we pay everybody accordingly.
I know y'all got a check for $400 million.
What's the salary cap, Ocho?
Now, I'm saying, when you do what ESPN and Fox and Amazon and what Netflix gave you and what CBS gave you,
okay, I know what those corporate sponsors are paying you
now that's just from the national side right you got your own tv deal local yeah you got your own
radio deal locally you'll have your own local advertising deals locally you have concession
you have merchandise merch yeah don't don't get me started there's so many different so many different
avenues of revenue that teams bring in is and it's something that people don't even know about
yeah they like like when you get the term oh they say buckets they use the term buckets there's so
many buckets yeah there's the there's the the network bucket which is c and ABC CBS and ESPN, Fox
Amazon
NBC
That's a bucket
And then you get Nike deal
That's a bucket
You got Bo's headset
That's a bucket
Hold on, what about the stadium name?
What about the stadium name and rights?
Yes, yes, yes What the stadium name rights? What about the stadium name rights? Yes, yes, yes
What is it?
AT&T
Ford Field
Highmark
Mercedes Benz
Yes, yes
So
That's the only thing I don't like about it
Look, I ain't got no problem
And my thing is, okay, I'll sign a contract,
and I'll honor it.
Won't you honor it, too?
Yeah.
Won't we both honor it?
Oh, Joe, the NBA is looking into John Morant
using the finger gun motion
towards the Warriors bench
last night, according to Shams.
Video has emerged of Buddy Hill
doing the finger gun at Ja first
what do you make of this situation
does Hill doing it first
excuse Ja despite
all the history of Ja with guns
ah
that's a tough one
that's a tough one I probably
know your take on it
and understanding that based on your history
and what you've done in the past or what the situations that have occurred in the past is something that you shouldn't do.
I think in the heat of the moment, you know, with Buddy Hill doing it first and him just, you know, emulating what Buddy did to him.
I understand probably how it's seen.
Oh, you should know better based on what you've done in the past but i think it's in this situation is harmless if you've already learned your lesson and just answering back to buddy hill in the same
manner in which he directed it directed it at you i mean you you might see it different than i do
i'm just giving jobs history you think he would be smarter than that yeah i knew that's what yeah
i lost some games i'm like you know what buddy first of all that's what he was. I lost some games. I'm like, you know what, buddy? First of all, that's Buddy Hill.
Come on now.
I'm going to let you have that.
You going to let him have it?
That's your buddy. Come on, buddy, for real?
Yeah.
Yeah, I got you.
I got you.
I mean, come on.
Your name Buddy.
Come on, buddy.
You know what I'm saying?
That's how I'm looking at it, though, for real, though.
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
Now, Steph, if Steph do it all, I got to get you back, Steph.
Because you're Steph Curry. I haven't let you come do it all, I got to get you back, Steph, because you're Steph Curry.
I haven't let you do it. I haven't let you come do it in my house and let you do all that.
I got to have that. I understand.
Give me that back. The Grizzlies are
0-3 in the post-Taylor Jenkins
era. I was surprised they were in the
fifth spot. Jaws missed some time this year.
Jaws missed a lot of time the last
couple of years. Remember, I think he hurt his
shoulder last year.
He missed out on it the whole season.
The year before that, he had the incident with the guns.
The situation got suspended.
And he hasn't been on the court.
But when he's playing, he's sensational.
Lights out.
I mean, I think he had, what, 36-38 last night against Golden State?
Now, Steph went haywire he had 52 on him.
Excuse me.
12 or 20 from the three-point line.
But y'all just got to be smarter.
I get it.
He's young, Ocho.
But, bro, they done took some money from y'all.
I ain't trying to give y'all no more money.
Y'all ain't finna get no more of my money.
None of it.
Nothing.
Y'all not.
Y'all not finna get any more of my money.
I don't give you,
I've given you too much as it is.
Yeah.
And so I,
I just think the thing is like,
look,
I mean,
you hear talk at one point in time,
they thought he could be the face of the league.
And now they talking about,
uh,
can they win?
Can they win with John?
Is he better as a second option?
Are they going to move Ja?
Second who?
Second option.
Second coming to Christ?
Man, stop playing, man.
Let's not be fooled.
Let's not get carried away with it, though, Joe.
They get a little carried away, man.
I don't understand a game of basketball like that
to the extent of you and George Sedano and Doris Burke,
but I know goddamn well he ain't no second option to nothing
unless you talk about Christ.
Wow.
Joel Embiid would undergo orthoscopic
surgery on his left knee next week.
Embiid ruled out for the season
in late February as the Sixers met with
doctors to determine the best treatment
to alleviate the knee issues
was surgery.
Ocho, here's a wild stat.
The games played since the start of the 2014-15 season,
the year Joel Embiid entered the draft, Carmelo Anthony, 12th year.
Carmelo Anthony has played, what, more games.
Is this what I'm reading correctly, Ash?
More games than Joel Embiid?
And Melo has been retired for three years.
And he still played more games than Joel Embiid.
Is that correct?
470 to 452.
Shams is reporting that Carmelo got the call that he's going to the
Basketball Hall of Fame.
I thought basketball was five years, but I guess they
reduced it to three years or you're a great player.
Like, who's that?
Wayne Gretzky. He retired.
They put him in the Hall of Fame. Like, what the hell are we waiting for?
Like, certain guys don't show up. Like, why you waiting?
Tom Brady, why you make Tom Brady wait?
Why you make Peyton Manning wait? Why you make like a
come on now. What are you waiting for?
There's no point. Yeah.
There's no point. We. There's no point.
We talk about players that are Mount Rushmore at their position.
Well, Maxie, respective craft in general.
Yeah.
I mean, some things you just like.
I mean, why would you make LeBron wait a minute?
LeBron, you retiring?
Okay, we got a ceremony next week.
Make sure y'all.
I mean, for real though, check with me what we doing.
And I don't think LeBron is one of those guys that he's going to come back and, you know, oh, I want to play like Jordan did, you know, Magic.
Because it would have been really cool had Magic,
because Magic came back and played.
And when Bird was going to go in, Magic was like,
I want to go in and David Stern
wouldn't let that happen.
But that would have been
really cool
because I really think
those two guys
should have gone in.
If any two guys,
like Russell and Chamberlain,
Magic and Bird,
some of those guys
should just go in together.
They should go in together.
They really should.

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself
loudly and boldly and stays true
to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own words, this series
explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions
with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own
sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali,
and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing
ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal,
Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas.
It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure
of our lifetime.
Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible.
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 Nafak, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly
40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre
and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do.

Tyler Hansgrove says Lou Will used to bring his two girlfriends to every game.
And they sat next to each other every time.
Yeah. Oh, Joe? Hey, I like that.
Speaking of Lou, I just seen Lou in Spain yesterday.
I was in, um, matter of fact, I'm still
here. I'm in San Diego right now, but I was in LA.
I went somewhere to
see a friend of mine. I got a chance
to see KG.
I saw Kevin Garnett and Paul
Pierce. And then upstairs
was Lou Williams and Spank doing their part.
It was real dope.
Spank, you with Charlie Parson?
Yeah, Spank.
I'm talking about Spank.
Comedian Spank.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I saw all of them yesterday.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Go ahead about Lou.
Both his girlfriends sat next to each other.
Yes, sir.
During the game. Oh, sir. During the game.
Oh, yeah.
That's live.
That's live.
I like it.
You're doing that?
You're sitting two together?
Oh, I mean, I would.
I would, you know.
I would.
If I was in my day, you know,
and if I was still playing like that,
you know, I would.
All it is is conversation
and being honest and telling the truth
because when you're bringing in that kind of money as an NBA player, you will have those that will play like that and have a great understanding.
Now, being that I'm over the hill now and I'm working and I'm in a structured environment, I can't move like that no more.
But as I see fit during that time, would I be able to do it?
Absolutely. Would I have two women that I be able to do it? Absolutely.
Would I have two women that would be willing to do it?
Absolutely.
You know,
and then you,
you add,
you add,
you factor in the NBA revenue and salary that you're bringing in.
How many women would decline that?
Not very many.
And he,
he ain't just have just no,
anybody sitting next to each other on.
These ain't just no scragglers now
but we talking about
hey
we talking about tens

long time i don't mean to get in your personal business Now If you didn't have
Two women sit courtside

Yes I'm nosy
So you ain't never had
Two women before in general

Somebody bump into somebody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
So I was like, now I'm done with this.
You got to be able to talk to them and have a great understanding because if you tell the truth in the beginning and give them an option, whether to stay or go, nine times out of 10, they're going to stay anyway and be accepting of the fact that you told the truth.
I'm just telling you. I ain't telling you what I heard. I telling you what i know i believe yo joe i believe you oh i believe

I was like an octopus.

Because I might be giving it to me,
I'm a sweater. I sweat.
Because the room's got to be icy cold.
It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing, because I'm just like, man, she ain't going to never want to see me.
But, hey, I'm in that thing like a
Baptist minister.
Damn, I'm the father.

Hey.
I'd have had to put some of my legs back together.
Man.
An 18, 19, 20 on the sparks?
Yeah.
Hey.
Matter of fact, the body is already producing its own spark in general, especially at that age.
Can you imagine, Ocho?
Can you add something to that?
Man, please.

I sure hope you went to Bible study that week.
Boy, them some days. Hey, boy.
What a time, what a time.
Ocho Aisha Howard has addressed the rumor alleging Anthony Edwards requested to pay 18 years of child support up front amid their court battle.
She said, where do these lies, where do these lies be coming from?
You ever heard a rumor about yourself and actually wanted to hear more like, no way.
What did I do next?
There are no court documents, motions,
or proceedings that have occurred,
nor have I been offered or agreed
to such terms.
Would it actually
be smart
just to pay the whole
18 years one payment of only
$1.8 million? Yes.
Yeah, I mean,
this is... It's tough, Ocho. It's tough. Yes. Yeah. I mean, this is...
I wouldn't...
It's tough, Ocho.
It's tough.
Yeah.
It's tough.
It's tough because...
And we're just...
I'm just speculating.
I don't know.
I don't know Ant-Man like that.
Have I met him before?
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
It's tough because he young. It's reported that he didn't want the kid.
Now he forced to,
you know,
be want to be with the kid.
So I just think the thing is,
I would say this,
take some time,
cool down.
Yes.
You're upset right now because you didn't want to be with her.
You were just having a good time. Yes, sir. And sometimes when you're upset right now because you didn't want to be with her. You were just having a good time.
Yes,
sir.
And sometimes when you're late,
you got to pay.
Yeah.
And that's the only advice I would give him.
I say,
I say,
son,
that child didn't ask to come.
It didn't.
It was too,
it was too grown folks.
I mean,
you practice long enough.
You're going to get good at it.
Mm.
Yeah.
You're right.
I mean, listen,
this is an unfortunate circumstance.
You know,
I know aunt very well.
Good friend of mine.
And the situation is unfortunate.
Now we're all different in how we operate.
Now I can only put myself in his shoes.
If I was an education
now you know me i didn't do things the traditional way no i didn't do things in a traditional way
you know there was an understanding between those and i that i have kids from where i am extremely
active in all mine's life and always have been um that's something that that i would be proud of whether the individual and i weren't
together you know oh you what man you bull jiving it's mine oh bet let's go i got this and i'm
starting to pre-plan everything ahead of time what we have a girl boy when i think about gym
club gymnastics and football i think that's how that's how i operate because i'm one who enjoys
having kids.
I enjoy it.
I'm active.
I'm hands-on
in all that I do,
especially when it comes to that.
But his situation is different.
Obviously, he didn't want the child.
But obviously,
you do have to take responsibility.
Yeah, and it's different now, Ocho,
because, see,
the problem that I have now
is that they have this thing
called internet and when
something gets put on internet it's up there for perpetuity yes sir and and to know that one day
and this could not be true but for a child to read that to say the father didn't want anything
to do it or didn't want to be a part of his life that's hurtful yeah yeah he's also he's also
speaking from anger huh of course also speaking from anger
about the situation and her understanding that you know you know this is something that i don't want
now and then you know the the other flip side that is well if you didn't want a child you
shouldn't you shouldn't want protection yeah you can't put raw meat on them. Yeah. So, I mean, listen, it's tough. I mean,
that...
I don't know.
I do. Like I said,
I understand her side.
You know, hey.
I think when Kool-Aid
prevails, he's going to be alright.
He's going to be alright.
He's going to be an active father.
Regardless of the reports that are coming out,
I think he's great. I think he's going to be an active father regards to the reports that are coming out yeah i think it's great i think it'll be straight and if a i um i love hey let me i got let me take my glass off i love kids love it love it i love being a father if if I wouldn't mind having them all yeah
I wouldn't mind
having them all

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 iheart radio app
apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts Ocho fans, fan yell, excuse me, Nico, fire Nico to Nico Harrison's face speaks out.
The Dallas fan who screamed fire Nico in Nico Harrison's face on Monday night says his phone was taken and thrown to the ground shortly after the incident.
He tells TMZ he's planning to file a police report.
Does Dallas not have a PR team?
How do they keep making this absolutely worse than what it already is?
Listen, as a fan, you got to conduct yourself in the right manner.
You know that.
You can scream at the owner, but you can't be screaming in the owner's face.
If you're going to scream at him, scream from far away. It's okay to disclose your pleasure with the decisions that he's made
on the Davis and Luca trade.
But come on, man.
But come on.
But also, on the other side, management, y'all ain't making it no better.
Yeah.
Why y'all take the man phone and throw it to the ground?
Come on now.
That's what he wanted.
He was waiting on your reaction.
Of course.
He waited on your reaction.
Now watch the next thing.
Watch they try to sue.
Oh, they gonna sue.
You gonna file a plea?
Of course.
You're not gonna try to sue.
All it is, easy payday.
They gonna pay.
They gonna hush him.
Pay him under the table.
Get him to be quiet
and go on away.
Go on about your business.
All right, Ocho. It's time for
our final segment of the evening. It's time
for Q&A.
Yeah, we about to be.
I was talking tonight. I felt good tonight.
Hey!
Mike, Mike. What's up, Uncle Ocho?
Love the show. Question is, if both of you
guys came out of retirement and played right now,
who wins? Up with the Broncos and Ocho loved the show. Question is, if both of you guys came out of retirement and played right now, who wins?
Unk with the Broncos and Ocho with the Bengals.
Unk can't come out of retirement.
Unk got two artificial hips and bone on bone in my left knee.
Unk can't do nothing but stand on the sideline.
Yeah, but let me tell you something.
Well, that lets you know who would win because I can come out of retirement right now and play.
Hypothetically speaking, if the opportunity presented itself I had no injuries I'm fine if I got the call right
now to come in and be the third receiver boom I'm ready to go and yes we'll beat the Broncos
because the Broncos lost us last year what do you think would happen yeah yeah me T and Chase
we went to the playoffs Daniel Cummings said NFLPA needs work with players to build a savings and a strike fund.
Shut this ish down until reasonable pay and health care is obtained
for vested players and retirees.
NFLPA, no more backdoor deals.
Well, that's what I thought they were going to do,
especially in 2011 when they had,
especially coming out after they did this last deal. So, it
was up and they didn't do that. So,
it's hard.
It's hard because
a lot of guys live paycheck
to paycheck, Ocho. Remember, most
of the time, you only get that money from September
to January. That's it.
And that's what it's got to last you. February, March, April,
May, June, July. It's months after that.
Yeah. You got to manage your right. Now, everybody doesn't make the same amount of money to be able to say, you know what?, April, May, June, July. It's months after that. Yeah. You've got to manage your right.
Now, everybody doesn't make the same amount of money to be able to say,
you know what?
Okay, we're going to lock out.
Okay, we're going to fight this thing.
We need you all to save your money.
Everybody's not able to do that.
Everybody's not making the same amount of money to do that.
Correct.
Aaron Owen says,
how hard is it to adjust from your college playbook
to your first pro playbook
when you got to the league?
It was hard
because all that verbiage,
man, we had a number system.
It was quick.
Yeah, I had a number system.
Yeah, it wasn't no verbiage, Ocho.
Yeah, it was 68,
218,
393.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was easy. So now I'm3. Yeah. Yeah, it was easy.
So now I'm hearing all this Burmese 52 double slant in special.
Z-Wiggle, Z-Wag.
Oh, man.
Man.
It was very hard for me.
Kingo Bassett, what do you guys think the nba nfl leaving mvp voting
up the fans sj has been playing phenomenal but yokich is the player right now and it's not even
close ak okc being number one seed is why sj may win yeah that two things can be true yeah

XXA
Cubsanity
Braves

Jackson Hayes
Dodgers in five

DeJuan Hives
have you ever listened
to a former
to a former coach
or GM
and thought
this is why you're a former coach or GM and not a current?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yes.
When I hear some of them talk about the trades they would make,
I say, that's why you sitting up here next to me.
Mike Tenenbaum?
Yeah.
That's why you sitting up here next to me.
Leo Bayer, Ocho, go double or nothing on the 5200.
If he beats James Harrison, he wipes out the slate clean.
But if he loses, he got to pay post-fight.
Man, you know good and well I ain't losing, man.
I might be willing.
Go in the Bible, read the story of David and Goliath.
That's all it's going to be like.
Mm-hmm.
Same, same outcome.
Retired deputy sheriff said what's something women think men want in a relationship that men actually don't care about oh joe oh that's a good one
and that varies depending on the man you ask too yes yes that's a great that's a that's a great question and i can only speak on behalf of
myself um i like women think being dolled up being dolled up i love i love women think that oh uh
depending on the individual that you're seeing that you have to be dolled up and dressed in press hair, makeup, lashes.
And I don't care about all that, man.
I'm simple.
Put on your sweats and your flip flops and, you know, a tank top.
And I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm good.
Seeing you in your natural state is enough.
You know, being dolled up is one thing.
But that's a version of yourself that I'm not going to wake up to every day.
I'm just not.
You know, it's true that I know you can do it.
But I just love a woman in her natural state.
Well, something women think men want, relationship, marriage.
Cupcake Mama said, as men,
do you feel like you ever had
the space to be vulnerable in love?
Yes.
Oh,
don't you?
Hey,
that gets you burned so many times
yeah cause I'm
like if I open up and then you
throw it in my face
so I just keep it to myself
yeah
that's what I got a therapist for
or my sister, my sister's my therapist
vulnerability is one of the best one of the best things, one of the best feelings when you're able to do it with the right person.
One of the best things, when I think of that word love, most of the time in certain situations, especially at a certain level, when you reach a certain status,
no, it's not really love.
It's just what you're able to provide and it being stability, convenience, and opportunity.
Love.
Love and loyalty is nothing but a word in the dictionary between opportunity and convenience.
That's it.
Loyalty and love in the dictionary, when you reach a certain level of status is nothing but
a word in the dictionary between opportunity
and convenience.
That's it.
And we've shown
time and time and time again
every time.
Cool ass
aunt said, uh, didn't warn us
about Rose Sparks and Laporte a mix. Oh, you mixed it?
Somebody mixed it?
Well, golly.
Well, he had
that liquid wood and that spark wood
combined.

Grandma and mom,

Dr. Frank L. Bellamy,
we've seen your checklist.
You want no burps, passing gas,
fresh breath, like peppermint, gum in a snowstorm.
But now, it's your turn.
Please answer, yay or nay.
Are you looking for a teammate or a houseplant?
Ooh.
Ooh.
I don't, see, for me, Ocho,
I don't think it's my...
I think that was a good one.
Ocho, that's like a woman said,
I want somebody six foot tall.
I want somebody to make X amount of money
right
I want somebody that's well versed
I want somebody to like to travel
so women get to have stipulations
right
I see where you're going with it
I see you cooking right now
go ahead
people's like well that's a natural function
well why don't you just go out in public? Just
pull your pants down the table, dunk on the sidewalk.
Come on, now. It's a natural
function. Come on, chef.
You cooking, now. I'm saying, I'm
confused. Y'all making it seem like
I'm asking y'all to go rob a bank.
All I'm saying, bro,
I mean, for somebody to feel
that comfortable to just be walking around
the house as a woman to just do that.
I like it.
I like it.
Because that's vulnerability, Unc.
No, that's nastability.
No, it's being vulnerable, especially being vulnerable around somebody that you love, somebody that you're dealing with.
It's a sense of peace of not having a, oh, Lord, every time I got to use the bathroom, I got to go hide and hide away from all.
Every time I have to pass gas, I got to go in the other room and hide from all.
Like, that's draining.
You ain't got to hide from me.
Just go.
I look.
And people are like, oh, listen, I'm not telling you.
Ask anybody.
When you see my brother, if you see my sister, ask them.
Barney and Mary Porter did not play that.
Now, it was different.
We had to go to the woods, so we didn't have to worry about hearing the pee hitting the toilet or somebody pulling the door open.
You took your butt in the woods, found you a tree to hide behind, and that was it.
But Bernie and Mary Porter did not play that.
We didn't talk at the dinner table.
Ask my brother.
If you want to talk at a dinner table, you got up, you ate your food, and you got up and you went and talked.
Only grown folks talk at the dinner table.
Okay, okay.
Now, I don't know how y'all did it.
Now, how y'all did things, and maybe y'all came to a situation, and y'all mom let y'all pass gas and just just
blow it up in the house okay that's fine but i'm telling you that's not gonna work with shannon
okay i'm not everybody's cup of tea and i'm okay with that right i'm letting you know what what it
is when you go in so it's not like oh oh before this you before this, you used to. No, no, that's never going to be cool with me.
It's never.
Anybody that I've ever been with, who y'all think I've been with, ask them.
If somebody tell you, oh, y'all used to pass gas around the shed,
say, no, you ain't been with Shannon Sharp.
Anybody, anybody, they'll tell you, I've been the same.
That's not going to fly with me.
I don't think I'm asking too much.
I don't have a whole lot of rules.
Yeah.
But for a woman.
What?
I don't know, Cho.
But for a woman to think it's okay to just blow it up, just walk.
Oh, hell no.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
That ain't going to work with me. But, I mean, to each his own. own i mean ocho saying he cool with that okay y'all need to find somebody like oh that's that's around oh like ocho that's cool with y'all
passing gas in front of them burping and all that kind of stuff listen why would you want to leave
the bathroom door open when you go into the bathroom?
There's a reason why the door is open.
No, that's not.
No.
If me, I'm going to tell you again, and you're missing out on some quality time and great conversations.
Some of the best conversations are had when you're in a relaxed state.
She isn't using the bathroom or you isn't using the bathroom and you're going back and forth and conversing.
I don't know what to talk about because everything we can talk about, we can talk about what I'm done or she's done.
There will be no conversation.
You don't understand.
You don't understand.
It's hard to explain because you ain't been there yet. Unless you've been there, it's hard for you to get it to resonate with you because it's something that you don't see fit doing.
I'm not. Listen, I'm not. And don't go in there. Hey with you because it's something that you don't see fit doing. I'm not.
Listen, I'm not.
And don't go in there.
Hey, you need to go in there.
Don't.
Hey, can you bring me some toilet paper?
No, I can't bring you nothing.
I'm going to leave the house.
You go ahead and walk your naked, stank booty tail up out of the bathroom and go get it.
Because I'm not.
I'm not going to open the door and hand you a roll of toilet paper.
That ain't happening.
Come on,
you tripping, man.
Listen,
we're going to get you right, though.
We're going to get you right.
Hey,
do like I do
when ain't nobody there
and I need toilet paper.
I hop
and go get the toilet paper.
That's what you need to do
because that ain't going to happen.
So,
you tripping. Nah. You tripping.
Nah, they tripping.
Oh.
I told you.
I broke up with a girl one time for doing that.
Damn.
Pass and get.
Come on.
You think that's cool?
Okay, don't worry about it.
I got a trick for you.
Boy, I changed that number so quick.
Then you changed the number?
Changed it.
And never talked again.
For one person?
That's disrespectful.
All right.
Hey, Ola, you think you can lay up in my bed?
Yeah. Excuse me. Okay. alright hold on you think you can lay up in my bed yeah excuse me

Oh, y'all was done.
And the best thing that happened, we had already done what we needed to do.
Right, right, right, right, right.
And this is how you know I'm done.
When I, hey, when I get that cover and I hit this number.
Oh, you turned your back on them?
Did I?
Damn, just because she phoned.
Hey, boy, you know the Japanese tradition when you dishonor one of them, they turn their back on you.
Right.
Oh.
Boy, I got up out of there.
Yeah.
Look here.
I changed that number so quick.
Oh, you changed your phone number for one person?
Sure did.
Because she fought it?
In the bed.
No, that's.
The bathroom was right there, Ocho.
The bathroom, Ocho, the bathroom was right there.
Well, you run your relationship like it's the Green Mile, boy.
Hey. Boy, you a your relationship like it's the Green Mile, boy. Boy, you're
a piece of work, boy.
I don't play.
Like I said, ask anybody
that have dealt with me. I don't play
them games like that. I don't play

like that. And people say, oh, you're setting your ways.
