cap is brought to you by coligard a non-invasive colon cancer screening test currently colon cancer
is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the u.s and it's on the rise in people
under the age of 50 but when caught at early, colon cancer is survivable in 90% of the people.
So screening and early detections are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths.
And a great one-of-a-kind way to feel more in control of your colon cancer screening is through the Cologuard test,
a prescription-based test with none of the prep that's required for colonoscopy. The Cologuard test is the only FDA-approved,
non-invasive option that looks for both altered DNA and blood in your stool, which can indicate the presence of abnormal cells. This test offers convenience and ease of use, and the kit is
delivered right to your door. Once you complete the kit, it is returned to the lab and results
are available within two weeks. Plus, it's affordable. Most insured patients pay $0.
And if you do need a colonoscopy as a follow-up, most insurance plans cover that as well.
So if you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your healthcare provider about screening
for colon cancer with the Cologuard test.
You can 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 the Cologuard test if you've had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease,
or certain hereditary syndromes or personal or family history of colorectal cancer.
The Cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopy in high-risk patients.
Cologuard test performs an adult age 45 to 49, it's estimated, and based on a large clinical
study of patients 50 and older. False positives and false negatives can occur.
Cologuard is available by prescription only. all right Ocho uh we joining us right now is producer beat producer extraordinaire
some of the hottest beats late 90s late 90, early 2000s Manny, Manny, Manny, Fred
What's up, bro?
What's up?
What's happening, Chad?
What's up, baby?
What's good with you?
You good?
Yeah, man, listen
I just left New Orleans, man
About three days ago
I'm feeling good
That's my second home now
For sure
I saw you
I mean, I saw you
Climbing some wards and all
Oh, yeah, absolutely
Absolutely Every bit of it.
Fresh, when you look back at your career and you look back, not that your career is done,
when you look back at all the people that you've touched and you've made beats for, what are you most proud of?
Relationships, bro. Like, relationships. Better than, you know, the beats or whatever, um, to, to bring people together and, and keep them together. You know, even like right now what's going on with my crew, like for us to get back together as men and go back out there 25, 26 years and, and, and, you know, and, and still getting it. So I always tried to be the mediator for everybody.
You know, even when I was doing a beat with somebody
who was beefing with somebody, I was like,
listen, bro, that's foolishness.
You know, put that down and let's get it.
Like, did you always want to be a producer?
Did you always want to be in the music?
So how did this come about?
How did you get into it?
And then it wasn't like you was just like any you had some of the hottest rappers yeah the waves and
the juvies and the hot but you had it all fresh yeah so i started out as a dj and even right
you know i'm a dj my dad was a dj so what got me was my dad you know i used to have to hook my dad
stuff up i used to have to my dad was a stuff up. I used to have to, my dad was a street DJ,
so you know,
like them holding
the wall balls.
Yeah, yeah.
What a DJ do?
Like, you know,
a DJ actually
puts you in a good mood.
Like, you know,
if your bills do,
you going through something,
it's the DJ's job
to make you feel good.
Make you forget about that.
Forget about all of that.
And you know,
and that spirit
just came on me
to be like,
you know what,
this is what I'm supposed to do.
So outside of Pops, man, growing up, who were some other musical influences?
And how did they shape you or shape the sound?
Your sound was different from everybody else.
How did the sound develop you as a producer?
Growing up in New Orleans, bro, it was music all over.
Everywhere you went, there was music all over, you know, everywhere
you went, there was, you know, there was somebody playing something. So I just kind of put all of
that together. And the way I call what I do is gumbo. I took elements from West Coast, you know,
and down South and just made something that was mine. So, you know, you take a whole bunch of
ingredients from everywhere. You know, when we was early, New Orleans, you know, in the 80s,
we liked West Coast and East Coast songs.
We didn't have our sound yet.
So, you know, and then Miami Bass came,
and then we felt like the 808 is our sound.
The 808 was definitely down south, you know, and I was like, okay.
And I was like, let me take a little bit of this East Coast,
a little bit of this West Coast, and mix it with some of this Luke.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's a good recipe.
Yeah.
Hey, right now, I'm going to think about the current state
of New Orleans sports.
You know, your Pelicans, your Saints.
Yeah.
How do you feel about the current state of sports
in New Orleans?
And what do you think, what is the vibe like?
Obviously, during the season, I'm not able to be there.
I was there for Super Bowl.
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
That's my second home.
You hear me? Yeah.
So, what do you feel
right now? Especially
the Saints. Yeah. So,
one of the things, you know, let's just
say New Orleans is, let's just say
it. New Orleans is a party city.
So, it's kind of hard on an athlete. You know what I'm saying?
Okay, okay, okay.
There's a city where, you know, it never shuts down.
Like, you know, so, when you come there, you got to come there with the, you know, never shuts down like you know so when you come there
you got to come there with the you know like you got to be focused because you could easily
get caught up into nothing close nobody ain't gonna tell you put that drink down you know
what i'm saying and if you're athletes and you're hanging out with rappers it's just not gonna vibe
it ain't gonna work you feel me so that's one of the things we gotta fix like you
know what i'm saying we're gonna see no names but we got a little bit of we got a little bit of
partying going on right now okay so if we fix that you're gonna see an improvement in all in
our teams bro okay maddie when you look at it you look at bg juvie the hard boys little way big
timers when how soon did you know that you know what that
youngest one the smallest one yeah he gonna be him oh bro wayne was the first one there the last
one to leave so you know when you when you when you and it was times where his mom might have took
him out the group because he had bad grades or whatever and immediately he he improved
because it was
something that he was like, I gotta figure this
out. And he would beg his mom
forever to get back into
it. But just like I said,
he knew, like take for instance
Back That Ass Up.
Wayne knew to hang
around for that song to get the last part
of it. To do that after you
back it up then stop
then what what he was just like nah just one of them you know what i'm saying and you get that
from hanging around to be like i'm gonna hang around because i feel like this is one of those
songs no right so we couldn't get rid of him when we was doing that song
what about the bling bling how did he come up with the bling bling?
It was,
it was always a line that was used in a song,
you know, like he would.
And I was like,
that's kind of clever,
you know?
And I always thought like it was something that stood out about it.
It was something about,
you know,
it was,
it was bling that,
you know,
Wayne was the first person that I heard to say bling,
no doubt.
You know what I'm saying?
But it was something clever about it. So I just had, I don't know, like something just woke me up and it was to say bling no doubt you know what i'm saying but it was something clever about it so i i just had i don't know like something just woke me up and was just like
bling bling every time i come around your city bling bling you know yeah when i wrote the hook
i was like it's something special about this work big and real worth about 50 i was like
something special about bling yeah i like it listen you also you also shared a very very very interesting story

you know and it was one of them songs where you hear and you're just like damn I remember that
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you know so in real life i'm not supposed to get

we started making bounce records. And Cash
Money, the first generation of it, was
bounce twerk records.

Ocho, everybody's saying you look like AJ from 106 and Park.
You know what?
Everybody that's saying I look like AJ from 106 and Park simply because I have hair on my head.
They all need to go see the optometrist.
All of them need to go see the optometrist.
No, that's you, Ocho.
Nah, nah, nah.
I look like Ocho.
That's you.
Nah, I look like me.

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.
No one was let go.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General.
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Oh, Joe, we've got breaking news coming in.
A lot of y'all been commenting in the chat.
Juju Watkins was carried off minutes into the Mississippi State game.
Watkins was on a fast break just under five minutes to go.
She appeared to have gotten tangled up with a Mississippi State player. She immediately went down, grabbed her right knee, visibly in pain.
A file was called on the Mississippi State Chandler Prater.
Prater.
Damn.
That just happened?
It did. Damn.
It did.
I hope she's okay.
Man.
Oh my goodness.
She's screaming.
It didn't look good.
Oh my.
Damn.
What do you think?
I can't see.
What do you think it is?
You think,
you think it's something simple?
I don't even want to speculate,
but she grabbed her knee and she's on and she's speculate, but she grabbed her knee and she's screaming.
She immediately grabbed her knee and she's screaming.
Damn.
Damn.
I'm hoping for the best, though. I'm hoping for the best. I'm hoping for the best though
I'm hoping for the best
I'm hoping for the best too Ocho
I don't want to put that out there
let's just say she went down
she did not return to the game
we're going to wait
until they give us a diagnosis
after this game
but it didn't look good
damn
Ocho the Giants front office was present at Cam's Ward Pro Day but noticeably absent of this game, but it didn't look good. Damn.
Ochoa, the Giants front office was present at Cam Ward's pro day,
but noticeably absent was head coach Brian Dayball.
It is unheard of for a head coach not to attend a pro day of their potential first-round pick.
Other teams that were present, the Browns,
the entire Titans front office,
if the entire front office is there, Cam Ward to the Titans.
What do you think, Ocho?
Yeah, listen, I really don't know what's going to happen.
I don't know what's going to happen.
It could be Cam Ward.
It could be Shador.
Hell, it could be Travis Hunter.
We never know what's going to happen with that first pick.
Are you sure whatever team has a feeling that this player can change our
franchise around is better than the options that we have that are available
right now.
They're going to get them.
And it only takes one team to feel about you a certain way to know and have
that belief.
We think this is our guy.
And the funny thing about this year,
the funny thing about this year and this year draft,
most of the time,
the top three picks,
you know,
right away who was going to be,
you know,
your number one is going to be this year.
We don't know who the number one,
we have no idea who the number one pick is going to be.
And I think it might be a surprise. It't. And I think it might be a surprise.
It could.
It might be a surprise.
It might surprise us all.
So I'm curious to see how this draft is going to play out and where everyone goes.
But, I mean, this is one of the few times I had no clue.
I have no clue.
Well, Abdul Carter says he'll be the top overall pick in the draft.
He tweeted, number one overall pick 30 days away.
Don't let all this quarterback need talk fool you.
It's already known who the best player and no quarterback is in that discussion.
Like I said, best player goes number one.
Generational.
Remember, one. I like that. I like that. It's number one. Generational. Remember.
One.
I like that.
I like that.
It's all about having belief in yourself now.
You know?
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, he's, like I said, I watched him and he was injured,
had that hurt shoulder.
Right.
And he was still causing problems for Notre Dame in that championship game. So I can imagine
that burst.
You can't coach that.
His ability to bend the edge.
He's special.
He's going to be special. The question is
if you need a
quarterback, do you
take Abdul Carter, knowing that
the quarterback is normally what wins you championships?
Right.
So what are you thinking?
Hey, listen, it's all on how they're viewing.
It's all on how they view Cam Ward.
It's all on how they view Shador Sanders.
Are these players coming in and are they transcending?
Are they going to give me the same effect as a C.J. Stroud in Houston,
as a Jaden Daniels in Washington,
immediately turning our franchise around. Is that going to happen?
That's what it comes down to. Because if you're a Commanders fan, from this point on, as long as
you know you have Jaden Daniels, you got a chance.
That's a great feeling.
CJ Stroud, if you're a Texas
fan, come hell
or high water, you know coming into the season,
you got a chance.
Simply because of your quarterback
play.
Is Shador Sanders
able to do that? Is Cam
Ward going to be able to do that?
Depending on where they go.
True.
I tell people it's not how high you go, it's where you go.
It's so important, huh?
That is so important.
Puka Nakua's NFL career is just beginning,
but the wide receiver has already has already has a retirement age in his mind
as he entered his third season with the Rams.
I want to retire at age 30,
Puka said. The Pro Bowl
wild out explained that he wants to
follow a similar path to Aaron Donald.
To go out on top, I think it would be
super cool. By the time
my kids could be 18, I could be
Bradley Walker if you played this game
and you sustain all those
injuries and stuff like that don't think like that puka no yeah you don't you don't and you
won't have to worry about no injuries if you go back on our diet if you go back on our diet
you know now i'm your nutritionist you know what you came in eating when you had that historic
rookie season you know what you was eating right then all of a sudden you change it up, you know, in the off season and you got nicked up a little bit. You know why?
Because of nutrition. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Okay. I played very long time, no injuries,
and I played reckless. I was all over the place. I was in the air. I was on the floor.
I was running people over. No injuries. If it's not, don't fix it.
I don't care what kind of specialist or what they give or what they put in front of you.
You're going to be one of the greats.
Puka also said Julio Jones is the best wide receiver in NFL history.
The perfect mixture of size and speed.
Like he could run every route on the route tree.
He absolutely could.
And for that size a wide
receiver uh body it should look like julio jones do you agree oh that's a good one on that's a good
one i mean he could run he could oh yeah normally guys that come out of alabama the one thing they
can do is run that tree oh yeah they can run that tree now and calvin ridley amari cooper jerry judy devontae smith
all julio all those guys calvin ridley all those guys can run the tree but none of them had the
size that julio had he's different because you're looking at a guy that's six foot three 225 pounds
dropping his hip yeah come and i dig on that comeback, that speed out, the over, the skinny.
He could do it all.
When I think about it, you know who I view?
Now, I'm going to get back to the question at hand.
When I look at Jeremiah Smith, I see Julio Jones a little bit.
I see a young Julio Jones a little bit.
So, in comparison, when his time comes up, no hitting junior year, leaving Ohio State,
I guarantee you that's going to be his NFL comparison.
Now, back to Julio being, he got to be top five,
maybe top 10, depending on who you ask.
Yeah.
Hey, I'm talking about one of the-
It ought to be what you like.
Look, for me, the three, until I'm going to have to reevaluate in another 10 years.
Right.
But the top three for me is Jerry, T.O. and Randy.
Yeah.
Now you could debate two and three.
But Jerry is always going to be number one.
OK.
OK.
Now you can debate two and three.
You like Randy.
You like T.O.
T.O.
Two.
Randy three.
Right.
Randy three.
Randy two.
T.O. Three. So. 2, Randy 3. Right. Randy 3, Randy 2, T.O. 3. Yeah.
So that's where it goes for me.
Now, Chase and Jetta and some of these other guys,
maybe C.D. Lamb or Tyreek,
maybe going to have something to say about that.
But, man, Julio was special.
Julio in his prime.
I mean, guy that size, running 4-3, jumping out of
the gym.
Julio reminded me
of T.O.
T.O. ran angry. T.O. played angry.
You want T.O. to catch
a hitch, that corner ain't
going to tackle it.
He might take it to the house.
He might take it to the house. You ain't never seen 81 get caught from behind i could say i could say yes
he uh uh he would like a to he catch that hit if you ever let him face you up
hey you better get him while he like this here yeah if he do this yeah
and look you and your
is it rap
come on safety
all I'm trying to do
I'm trying to
I'm trying to shadow him
yeah
come on safety
come help me
come on
I'm gonna force him back inside
man hey
man Julio had a stretch there man
yeah a good one
he and Matt Ryan yeah they was they was on fire they had a they had a stretch there, man. Yeah, a good one. He and Matt Ryan.
Yeah, they was on fire.
They had a good run now.
They had a good run.
They had a rapport.
I hated that Julio had to leave.
But, you know, it's like anything, Ocho.
You pay, you pay, you pay, you pay, you pay.
Yeah.
If you don't win a Super Bowl, you're going to have to break it up.
You saw what the 49ers had to do. Yeah. You see, you pay, you pay, you pay. Yeah. If you don't win a Super Bowl, you're going to have to break it up. You saw what the 49ers had to do.
Yeah.
You see, even Kansas City, you know, you lost Justin Reed.
Yeah.
Remember, you lost LeJarius Sneed.
You can't play everybody, Ocho.
Yeah, you're right.
You see, Joe Tooney, they had to let him go.
Damn. They needed to let him go. Damn.
They needed
Mitchell Swartz and they had Wiley.
They had to let those guys go. You can't
pay everybody. You just hope
that while we're paying these guys, we can get
a bowl or two because if you get
a bowl is what is worth it. They got it. It's
worth it because they're so hard to come
by. Yeah.
But uh, no, hey, come by. Yeah. But,
uh,
nah,
hey,
yeah,
but,
hey,
everybody says that now.
Yeah.
Um,
it's different
because A.D.
was in them trenches
getting doubled
every day on play.
And he said,
man,
I just,
hey,
I don't want to put
that kind of time in again.
And you see
where this receiver money going?
Yeah.
Hey,
I'm going to play as long as they, as long as they sending. Hey, I'm going to play as long as they're sending out checks,
I'm going to play.
Especially if I go out.
I'm not going to embarrass myself, though, okay?
You know what I'm saying?
If I'm out there, if all of a sudden I go from catching 80, 90 balls
and they tell me, hey, we want you to be the fourth receiver,
I'm going to bother them.
Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I can't do that. What do you think Hey, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I can't do that.
What'd you think about me going back to play?
No?
Nah.
It's over.
How you know?
It's been over.
For 15 years, it's been over.
I know, but I just got the phone call off,
so I'm just curious.
Nah.
That's your,
they say you need to play your easy pass.
They call you riding the h.o.b lord that's the that's the only people calling your ass man ain't nobody ain't nobody calling you that's a young man game man you're right that lateral
stuff you oh joe you know what you probably still could run straight ahead oh i can't i can't i can
run straight ahead fast as hell.
It's that lateral.
Yeah.
Your whole thing was predicated on lateral quickness.
Uh-huh.
Slipping.
Getting up out of there,
dipping that shoulder,
dipping that shoulder and going.
Getting skinny.
Hey, because what a guy do,
hey, you...
Man, going.
Because you never, hey,
you played on angle.
Yeah.
Your whole thing was never give him your whole,
don't give him this.
Oh, never, ever.
I'm slipping.
I'm sliding.
I'm dipping.
It's hard.
It's hard.
You say I can't do it no more.
It's hard, man.
And that's the thing what people don't understand.
Guys can still run fast.
Oh, yeah.
In a straight line.
Straight ahead.
But as a receiver, you need lateral quickness
to get
up out of there. And if you don't
have that lateral quickness, you got to be good
with your hands
and your technique with
somebody up in front of you.
Or you got to be big like a T.O. that's played
through contact. Calvin Johnson played through
contact. Julio played through contact.
If you're smart... That tug and pull, I still don't understand. T.O., play through contact. Julio, play through contact. If you're smart.
That tug and pull,
I still don't understand.
T.O. used to do it.
Brandon Marshall used to do it.
Julio Jones used to do it.
They welcome,
they welcome the contact
and want you to grab
and they pull from the inside,
they pull and tug you right through.
Man, I tried,
I tried that tug and pull shit
one time in practice, man.
I ended up opening it on the
sideline with the cool.
First of all,
think about the guys that you said that.
Look how tall they are.
To be able to reach.
Man. Now,
you're talking about guys 220, 225,
230 that's able to play
through contact.
See, your whole thing is like you trying to play on edges.
You ain't trying to get physical with nobody.
Oh, nah.
Because, hey, if they stab, well, hey, I show Hope Carson looking at the other side.
They got me.
Well, TJ was just the opposite.
TJ wanted to play through contact.
TJ was a big physical receiver.
Yeah, he liked that.
Yeah, so.
Oh, that's funny.
Matthew Stafford hyped up Devontae Adams signing.
I have a ton of respect for him, the way he goes about his business
and the way he plays the game.
He's been big time in this league for a long time.
So happy to have him.
I know he's going to be
a big addition
to our team.
Ocho,
with the addition
of Devontae
and Puka,
what's the ceiling
for the Rams?
I mean,
the ceiling is very high.
The ceiling is very high
because not only do you add
another
exquisite
route runner
that can run
the entirety of the tree.
But then I look at it with the Cooper Cuff situation.
You had Cooper Cuff, you had Puka Nakua,
and Puka was still getting all the balls, all the numbers.
They were putting him in positions to make the plays.
So exactly how are you going to go about using Devontae Adams
and his strengths and what he can do where you can play anywhere
play on the outside you play on the inside you put him in motion you do whatever you want to do
how are they going to use him i'm still thinking about that factor because he had cooper cup there
and there's really nothing wrong with him but his numbers didn't look the same after coming off a
goddamn triple crown here yeah so i'm that's a lot of collision that's what I'm curious about.
Ocho, think about it.
How many,
Cooper Cup caught 140-something balls.
Yes, sir.
Then he caught another 30-plus in the playoffs.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Let's just say he had,
I think he had like 14, 15 touchdowns.
Let's say he had 18 touchdowns.
How many times,
if you catch 175 balls, how many times if you catch 175
balls how many targets
did you get
how many times did you get hit
how many times did you hit the ground
I'm not so sure a receiver has ever had
as many collisions as Cooper
Cup had in that season
so now you're right
and you remember when you go to the Super Bowl, you play an extra three, four weeks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Listen, I hope they make him part of the offense, you know.
Because the way things were going,
boy,
they were feeding Puka, boy.
I'm talking about feeding him.
Stepped on somebody's ankle?
What happened?
Oh, Jason Tatum just stepped
on somebody's ankle
and went down.
Hey.
He stepped on Sabonis.
I know how to...
He shot a three,
made it,
and came down on his ankle.
Sabonis not supposed to be standing up underneath him.
You know.
Yeah.
They know that.
Yo, yeah, they call that now.
They gave him a flagrant one.
They did?
Yeah, they did.
They did.
They did. They did.
Ocho, you got to come back for this one.
I'm right here.
Whew.
I guess Randy Ricci's boyfriend kicked her out of the house after Kevin Gates recently released a song claiming the child is his.
Wait, what?
Claiming they had a child.
Wait, who?
Renny Richie and her baby daddy, Black Zach, was going at it live because Kevin Gates dropped a song mentioning Renny.
He thought Kevin said him and Renny had a child. In Kevin Gates' song, he said, I did Renny wrong and I admit it.
We got children, but I keep that ish respectful
to protect your image.
You think that's real?
I don't know.
But listen, I mean, it's an easy fix.
It's an easy fix.
All you do is you go get a DNA test
and find out who the child is
or who the child is from.
That's not hard.
But I wouldn't kick her out of the house.
That ain't nice.
Especially if she got a child from you
or maybe you think it's your child.
Okay, my bad, my bad, my bad.
What did you say?
No, she got to go?
She got to go?
I mean, I don't know if I... Look, you don't keep it hushed this long.
You might as well just keep it hushed, bro.
Wait, so you think it's true?
I don't know, but I'm saying...
It don't matter if I think it's true.
He think it's true.
Wait a minute.
Hold on, I got another thing.
Why are people putting the two together?
How do we know he was talking about the same girl?
What if it's not another girl named Renee? How many Rennes you know and somebody say i got a baby from ocho
sico they're like it could be somebody else oh nah shit wait we should exactly ain't nobody had
how many how many rennes you know yeah you you okay okay hey hey why would you put on
why would you put on blast like that? That's all I'm asking.
I don't know.
I have a question.
You think this is strictly content, like maybe for content or just a story?
Listen, I'm not making no content to make somebody else look bad.
Okay.
If I got a child with somebody and she happily married or she with that person, why would I bring out something that's going to cause dissension in their house?
Oh, man.
Oh.
That's just me.
I mean, look, to each his own.
I don't know.
And then when you say it like that, I don't like the way that sound.
That hurt that boy.
And maybe, hey, I don't know.
They say she on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.
I mean, she in.
So, like I said, I don't know. I don't know what's real, I don't know. They say she on love and hip hop Atlanta. I mean, she, and so I,
like I said,
I don't know what,
I don't know what's real.
I don't see,
she,
she,
she on TV right now.
It might be just to help book bolster views or,
or something.
Cause they done.
And then if,
if you got to do,
you're living with a dude.
Yes.
And y'all,
y'all have a child,
but then someone else in this,
in this instance,
Kevin Gates comes to say,
I'm not baby.
I'm not baby Pappy.
Now that just...
I don't know.
I don't know. It's happened.
I'm saying it's happened before.
There have been many examples of this before.
But oh man, that's tough.
That's tough. But I still think it might be
for other
reasons as opposed to actually being real.
But again, I don't know because I'm not behind closed doors with him.
I don't.
Hey, I wasn't there.
So I don't know.
Hey, she fine though, huh?
I don't know.
I don't know her.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'm telling you.
Man, I don't.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
She fine.
Oh, she fine?
Oh, yes, sir.
You hear me? Hey, she fine. Nah, see, you can say. But hear the thing, Ocho. She fine Hold on. I'm telling you. I'm telling you, she fine. Oh, she fine? Oh, yes, sir. You hear me?
Hey, she fine.
Nah, see, you can say...
But hear the thing, Ocho.
She fine as frog hell.
You can say that.
Every time I pay somebody a compliment,
they get upset,
so I don't pay nobody no compliment.
Well, hold on, man.
I just...
I'm saying it respectfully, you know,
with all parties involved, respectfully.
She fine as frog hell.
Now, there's nothing wrong with that.
There ain't nothing wrong with that.
She fine.
I'll take your word for it.
Yeah.
Just use your Google real quick.
No,
I'm good.
I don't need no Google.
I don't even want to see.
I don't even care.
I don't care enough
to Google it.
I got you.
But listen,
I mean,
listen,
she's aesthetically pleasing.
How about that? I'll take your I got you. But listen, I mean, listen, she's aesthetically pleasing. How about that?
I'll take your word for it.
Okay. Okay.

All right, Ocho,
now it's time for Q&A. And you know what, I'm like, and you wonder, can I, Ocho, now it's time for Q&A.
And you know what I like?
And you wonder, can I, you know what I like about tonight?
You know what I really enjoyed?
Now, listen, we've had some great shows.
But that goddamn Prime and Zant goddamn going back and forth.
I really, I really, I really, I swear to God, I don't know how to explain it.
I really enjoyed that. I really, I really, I really, I swear to God, I don't know how to explain it. I really enjoyed that.
I really did.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Adab Smith said, OKC, UFC, KFC, Lakers to Cancun in five.
Y'all got jokes tonight, huh?
Over the Go said, I don't never agree with you, but you're right on this one.
He top 25, maybe.
No, I think he higher than 25, but I don't know.
It's going to be hard for him to crack the top 10 when it comes to all-time great corners.
Ocho, NFL matchup highlights.
What's up, Uncle Ocho?
Ocho, can you rank these dbs based on their prime charles woodson
nnamdi asimov sante crow antonio cromarty okay uh you know we putting we putting wood first
yes we definitely put seawood first uh nnamdi i'm not sure where nnamdi goes um because charles
woodson was very consistent. Green Bay, Oakland.
Regards to where he went, he was still consistent.
Nnamdi, when he went to Philly and had to play a little bit.
Wait, was it Philly?
Yeah, it was Philly.
Yeah, went to Philly and had to play.
Man to man, I think he got exposed just a little bit.
I'm not sure what happened in his transition from the Raiders to there.
It wasn't the same dominance that we were used to seeing from him.
Who would I put two?
He gave me four names, huh?
Yeah.
Woody, Namby, Sante, Crow.
I would take C. Wood, Sante, Crowe. I would take Seawood, Sante, Crowe, Nnamdi.
Nnamdi? Okay.
Because Nnamdi just had a very brief period.
Yeah.
And that was just Oakland.
Yeah.
Because it basically undid everything he did in Oakland.
Yeah.
He undid that in Philly.
In Philly, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. basically undid everything he did at Oakland. He undid that in Philly. In Philly, yeah.
I was going to do it the same way.
I was comparing Crow and Zant
before I made the comparison.
But mine would be
the same way.
And obviously, I would have...
Did Crow get hurt?
He might have hurt that knee before he got there. Because he had that one good year. I would have, uh... I would have... Did Crow get hurt? Did Crow hurt his...
He might have hurt that knee before he got there
because he had that one good year.
He had like 10 picks and was the first team All-Pro.
And then when he paired up with Revis,
they locked it down.
Yeah, they were nice.
They were nice because, hell,
me and T.O. had to deal with them fools on Thanksgiving.
Yeah.
But when they,
Cassante was good at New England
and in Philly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he was good
at both stops.
Yeah.
Crow.
Cassante was my favorite cornerback, oh, explore, Asante
was my favorite cornerback growing up, with all
love and respect, but Broga, he gonna sit
this one out, all love Brody
but it's real
levels, it's really levels
Dr. Frankie L. It's really levels.
Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy says,
oh, don't let that negativity control your positivity.
You got first take tomorrow.
Oh, man, look here.

I think I let the thing expire.
I didn't sign the thing
because, you know, in order to get, you know, you have to
sign off on it. Right. Oh, so you ain't
sign off on it? I don't think so.
Come on, man. Stop being selfish.
I don't know. I have to ask
Jamie about that.
But we'll get on there.
Hey, glad to see you and know what you're doing well my question was
as a tight end what season off-season workouts should i be doing for a minor uh minor football
league uh well obviously running routes catching the ball conditioning i mean just do stuff that
you would do in the game. You would run routes.
You would catch the ball.
You would finish.
Occasionally, you probably, I don't know how much they block in a minor league football,
but do some blocking.
Work on hand placement.
Work on foot, your feet, your steps.
Just stuff that you would do in a game.
That's what most people do.
Obviously, you got to get some conditioning in.
You got to run some, you know, we ran sprints and things of that nature.
But yeah, just stuff that you would do in a game.
Work on that as hard as you can to get your conditioning right.
Aaron Owens, I've been debating this for a while.
I believe 100 people can beat a silverback gorilla.
What you think?
Man, 100 people get their ass whooped, man.
I don't think people understand the power of these animals.
It's not happening.
I tell you what, I want to be 100.
Because the mother of 99 is going to get their ass tore up.
And I'm going to retreat.
I ain't messing with it.
I don't think people realize how big a silverback is.
Forget how big it is. Do you understand how
powerful?
Man, stop playing, man.
Yeah.
I would be 100, though.
All I know is that first 20 to 25,
they got their ass cutting coming.
That's what I know.

I would love to hear the chat

already named her the best album of the
last 50 years.
I mean, obviously it is.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, you can play from
start to finish still to this day, and it resonates
as one of the best albums ever made. can't argue that you know you got you got little kim
mary j had some classics uh foxy brown i mean i mean shot a um oh my oh my goodness man but
listen what lauren hill was able to do with that album,
I don't know what she was going through during that time.
I don't know who the producer was.
But listen, to be able to put together a masterpiece.
When we talk about putting together a masterpiece,
she put together a masterpiece with that one.
I would love to hear the chat's thoughts, but you can't argue that.
I'm not even sure what genre that goes up under.
It doesn't even go up under rap with the neo soul. I don't even sure what genre that goes up under It doesn't even go up under rap
With a neo soul
I don't even know what it is
Uh

Riding on the freeway
Riding on the freeway.
Riding on the freeway,
making love in the pink.
Oh, my bad, my bad, my bad.
Yeah, that one.
My bad.
Ocho off key.
No, but I know the words, though.
When it comes to music,
I love me some music, man.
Chris says,
Nightcap is the best show I've owned.
Is the 98 AFC Championship game still a blur?
And Ocho, gotta be HOF Marvin Harrison is deserving, but he had Manny.
Yeah, I don't remember that.
I don't remember the championship game because I got knocked out. And I guess the...
I might have to take somebody off and put Missy Elliott on there.
Because Missy Elliott has some banger albums.
Oh, class classics.
And she just went, Missy's like, hey, I'm going to do my thing,
put about five or six albums out, and I'm going to go on about my business.
I'm going to leave y'all alone.
I'm going to get out your hair.
Yeah.
Yes, that's a blur.
Oh, sure.
They say you should be in the Hall of Fame if Marvin Harrison is in because he had.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Com should be in the Hall of Fame if Marvin Harrison is in because he had big money. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
There's a reason I put
my own jacket on in the sideline.
You don't know where
it is, though. Hey, 101.
Hey, that jacket is
101. And that's no disrespect to the
Hall of Fame that I've already been in and enshrined.
It's
an elite class of people toined. It's an elite class
of people to be. It's an honor
to be chosen to put on that goddamn jacket.
But again,
it's only one-on-one over here.
Sir K said,
my guys, Ocho, my question is, if
Carson wouldn't have gone down with the injury, how
far do you think y'all would have gone in the playoffs that year?
Playoffs? We would
have won the Super Bowl. What are you talking about? That
2005 year? That offense we had?
The defense we had? They were playing
phenomenal all year. Had like
30, 30, 35-something takeaways.
There's some crazy number on that year.
And they was giving us the ball back.
And not only were they giving us the ball back,
we were scoring like
water that year. It was crazy.
And will the Bengals make the playoffs if Henderson leaves?
I mean, what was that defense rank last year with Henderson?
I mean, no disrespect to him.
The individual, from an individual standpoint, he played phenomenal.
But it didn't sway things any anyway as opposed to wins or losses
for us you know mark said show that picture of uncle nocho it's not
