Starting point is 00:03:23 And now I get back to my boring old day job head over to your nearest boost mobile store and make the most out of your tax refund this episode of night 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,
Starting point is 00:04:11 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.
Starting point is 00:04:51 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?
Starting point is 00:05:49 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
Starting point is 00:05:57 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.
Starting point is 00:06:08 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?
Starting point is 00:07:00 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,
Starting point is 00:07:25 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,
Starting point is 00:07:33 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
Starting point is 00:07:42 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?
Starting point is 00:08:01 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.
Starting point is 00:08:29 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.
Starting point is 00:08:46 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?
Starting point is 00:08:59 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
Starting point is 00:09:10 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
Starting point is 00:09:26 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
Starting point is 00:10:07 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,
Starting point is 00:10:33 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
Starting point is 00:10:54 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?
Starting point is 00:11:11 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.
Starting point is 00:11:22 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 coming up with the hook for baja men's who let the dogs out but not receiving credit can you tell us how to get credit because i was just joking around you see okay okay okay i was a circle house you know and there's some people that's not here that's not yeah i was at circle house you know

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.
Starting point is 00:26:40 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:26:58 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,
Starting point is 00:27:35 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. float like a butterfly sting like a bee your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see 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,
Starting point is 00:28:30 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.
Starting point is 00:28:55 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.
Starting point is 00:29:28 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.
Starting point is 00:30:01 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.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Prater. Damn. That just happened? It did. Damn. It did. I hope she's okay. Man. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:31:01 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,
Starting point is 00:31:21 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
Starting point is 00:31:47 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
Starting point is 00:32:03 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.
Starting point is 00:32:27 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
Starting point is 00:32:48 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,
Starting point is 00:33:10 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.
Starting point is 00:33:24 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.
Starting point is 00:33:50 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.
Starting point is 00:34:07 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
Starting point is 00:34:26 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
Starting point is 00:34:43 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,
Starting point is 00:35:04 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,
Starting point is 00:35:34 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.
Starting point is 00:35:49 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
Starting point is 00:36:12 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
Starting point is 00:36:30 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.
Starting point is 00:37:14 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
Starting point is 00:37:46 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.
Starting point is 00:38:21 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.
Starting point is 00:38:47 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.
Starting point is 00:38:59 You like Randy. You like T.O. T.O. Two. Randy three. Right. Randy three. Randy two.
Starting point is 00:39:05 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
Starting point is 00:39:26 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.
Starting point is 00:39:47 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
Starting point is 00:40:10 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
Starting point is 00:40:22 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.
Starting point is 00:40:38 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.
Starting point is 00:40:58 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
Starting point is 00:41:15 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,
Starting point is 00:41:27 hey, yeah, but, hey, everybody says that now. Yeah. Um, it's different
Starting point is 00:41:34 because A.D. was in them trenches getting doubled every day on play. And he said, man, I just, hey,
Starting point is 00:41:38 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.
Starting point is 00:41:48 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.
Starting point is 00:42:05 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,
Starting point is 00:42:18 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.
Starting point is 00:42:47 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.
Starting point is 00:42:55 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.
Starting point is 00:43:04 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.
Starting point is 00:43:14 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
Starting point is 00:43:29 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.
Starting point is 00:43:45 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
Starting point is 00:43:57 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,
Starting point is 00:44:11 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.
Starting point is 00:44:30 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.
Starting point is 00:44:51 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
Starting point is 00:45:07 a big addition to our team. Ocho, with the addition of Devontae and Puka, what's the ceiling for the Rams?
Starting point is 00:45:14 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
Starting point is 00:45:24 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
Starting point is 00:45:51 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.
Starting point is 00:46:13 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
Starting point is 00:46:27 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.
Starting point is 00:46:48 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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.
Starting point is 00:47:21 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.
Starting point is 00:47:34 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.
Starting point is 00:47:57 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
Starting point is 00:48:29 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.
Starting point is 00:48:46 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?
Starting point is 00:49:02 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.
Starting point is 00:49:16 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.
Starting point is 00:49:46 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.
Starting point is 00:50:13 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,
Starting point is 00:50:25 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,
Starting point is 00:50:33 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,
Starting point is 00:50:40 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.
Starting point is 00:50:53 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.
Starting point is 00:51:11 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.
Starting point is 00:51:21 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...
Starting point is 00:51:27 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...
Starting point is 00:51:36 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.
Starting point is 00:51:49 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.
Starting point is 00:52:01 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.

Starting point is 00:55:15 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.
Starting point is 00:55:42 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.
Starting point is 00:56:05 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.
Starting point is 00:56:31 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.
Starting point is 00:57:07 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.
Starting point is 00:57:32 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.
Starting point is 00:57:57 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.
Starting point is 00:58:09 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...
Starting point is 00:58:26 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.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Yeah. But when they, Cassante was good at New England and in Philly. Yeah. Yeah. So he was good at both stops.
Starting point is 00:58:59 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
Starting point is 00:59:21 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. Nothing bleeds into nothing else. Ocho, when I do first take, good, bad, or indifferent, I'm done. When I come to nightcap, or indifferent, I'm done When I come to nightcap
Starting point is 00:59:46 Nightcap, I'm done I got a combo this week Wednesday Nothing goes to nothing else Once we done with this I wish Asante the best I'm done with it I'm done

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
Starting point is 01:02:07 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.
Starting point is 01:02:36 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.
Starting point is 01:02:59 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.
Starting point is 01:03:19 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,

Starting point is 01:07:19 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,
Starting point is 01:07:35 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
Starting point is 01:07:51 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?
Starting point is 01:08:15 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 it's not the movie friday but it's called monday lol uncle nocho that concludes hey that, tonight was good.
