When caught in the early stages, 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.

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 the 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 tests if you have had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease, and certain hereditary syndromes or personal or family history of colorectal cancer.

Ocho, Bobby Portis suspended 25 games after he mistakenly took painkiller Tramadol rather than Toradol. Portis said in a statement, I was dealing with an elbow injury and using an NBA-approved medication for pain and inflammation.

During that time, I made an honest mistake and took a pain-reducing anti-inflammatory pill that is not approved. I feel terrible. I recognize that I'm responsible for what I put in my body. Porter took painkiller unintentionally, said his agent. Porter thought he was taking Toradol, which you can get it in a pill form or the injectable, because I know I've got plenty of them shots in my butt, was proved he was taking. Porter didn't realize that he was taking Tramadol, which was properly prescribed,

but is on the NBA's banned substance list. Doc Rivers said he believed the punishment shouldn't be so severe given the circumstances. I mean, given the circumstances, obviously, as a player, you got to know what you're putting in your body. Obviously, don't you have people that you talk to before you even get any type of prescriptions? you know this i mean this they got so they got the resources the

you know the team can give you that yeah the team can give you that whatever it is you need you have somebody if they if we had it when i was playing i know they i know good and well they got it now hey you go to the head trainer hey listen my listen, my elbow, man, it's bothering me. It's swelling up on me. Can you get something for me? Mm-hmm. Can you give me something? So, I mean, it's kind of hard to believe.

Like, how do you not know? How do you not know? Because if you need anything, everything you need is right there in-house. You ain't got to go outside for that. Man, y'all be talking about, yes. Guys, when you take a Toradol, and it's basically like, it's a pain

medication, but boy, you feel so good. I mean, I'm like, I ain't smoking a weed, and I don't know what it's like, but you feel like, boy, you feel invisible. Now, you feel like your ass got beat with a bat once you get done with that game. Once it go down, yeah. But you get an injection in your

butt. And so that's what y'all take everything, y'all try to make everything sexual. I question a lot of you guys. No, no, seriously, Ocho. A lot of these guys, I really question them because they so consumed with that kind of stuff. I'm like, damn, this is the way we talk.

I mean, like I said, I don't know what's in the locker room. Ocho, I've been removed 20 years from the locker room. So I don't know why it is now. But when we talk, like, hey, man, hey, you got that? Yeah. You got that shot? You got that shot in the butt? I mean, Ocho used to be a line.

Yeah. It wasn't a one or two. It was a line to get that. I ain't never taken a pill like I said I know there is a pill but I didn't take it give me that shot

I need that thing to work quick I had the pill I had the pill obviously when I tore my labrum I tore my labrum from 6 to 12

but I didn't miss no time and so I wore the harness put the harness on there so you couldn't raise it so I couldn't raise it all the way so I wore the harness

and I took for about maybe 3 weeks I took the toilet I took the pill man I that harness on there so you couldn't raise it. So I couldn't raise it all the way. So I wore the harness and I took, for about maybe three weeks, I took the toilet, I took the pill. Man, I wasn't playing with that needle. Oh, no, sir. If it ain't a tattoo, I'm not doing it.

Oh, no, I'll give you that needle. Because that pill, that pill, it got to digest. It got to, the liver got to break it down. It got to get processed. No, baby.

I need that thing just like that rose spot. Right away, huh? Now, they can put it up under my tongue and it dissolves, I'm going to get that bloodstream. Count your boy here. Count your boy here.

But it wasn't doing that. That shot, that shot getting that bloodstream flat out. Yeah. Oh. And so, look. No, Ocho. I took shots in my butt. I took them in my ribs.

I took them in my ankles. I took them in my shoulders. Oh, man. Hey. Hey. I had to get out there. I had to get it. Mary Porter had to eat. He had to eat. Like I said, and that's the thing to Ocho.

Like you said, they do got... But see the thing is, Ocho, the problem with... We've heard it so much. People lie. Oh, my massage therapist rubbed me down with this cream, and that's how that steroid got in my body. Oh, you know what?

Somebody, my protein shake, and somebody put this in my body. So now we've become so distrusted, and it could have been an honest mistake, Coach O. In actuality, it could have been an honest mistake. But because people have lied so much and contaminated our thought process, no, hell no. You're going, hey, 25, slap that 25 up on him. Yeah. I mean, but you think about it, I'm just

saying, if there's something wrong with you, the first place you go to is your training room right there in the facility. Right. They get you everything you want. You don't even have to go outside. There's no point. You have every resource have to go outside. There's no point. You have every resource known to man right there. It's the NBA, huh?

Get it. This ain't high school. This ain't your high school basketball team. Remember, what do the pills look like? Is it sugar in a salt situation that you don't know what it is until you taste it? And then by that far, it's too far down. Now me, Ocho, when I got certain supplements, like, hey,

Greek, what you thinking? You know, hey, he's like, Sharpie, let me do some research. Sharpie, it's not on the list, but if I was you, I wouldn't do it. Steve Antonopoulos, we call him Greek. And when I was in Baltimore, John Tessendorf, we call him Big Tess. Like, hey, Tess, what you think?

Well, Sharpie, I think you're good to go. Shoot me straight. Because I'm going to tell them, look, I went to my athletic trainer, and I went to my athletic trainer, and they said we're good to go. So if it's a lie, you need to suspend them. Because I ain't going nowhere. Because I remember when they started, when they dhea on that list guys were taking dhea oh yeah got popped uh-huh you know and they ended up uh uh ephedra uh when the when the guy i don't

know you weren't in the league the time when uh rest his soul core stringer oh the lineman yeah yeah yeah vikings yes they banned ephed You know, guys used to take ephedra because it speeds your heart rate up. You sweat. Ooh, boy, look here. Right. You're talking about dropped seven, eight pounds in a day.

Just like that. Look at you sweat. Yeah, man. But boy, you sweat. Ooh, you're talking about sweating. Right. Like Michael Jackson before the verdict was read.

You sweat like that. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying, Ocho? Hey, but no, and like I said, it could have been an honest mistake. Yeah, yeah. But, Ocho, but like you said, with all the resources and you got now,

don't even chance it, guys. Yeah, it's hard. Don't even chance it. Don't even chance it. But I don't know, that's what I'm saying. You said, man, I'm scared of that needle that says tattoo.

Bro, you get, like I said, I don't have no tattoos, so I don't know if it, but I hear, Hold on, hold on, hold on. Wait, you got to understand now. I've seen what the needle look like

when it's time to get that tore, though. And I've seen the needle when I'm getting, listen, I got 43 tattoos. You can't see them, but I got them. Yeah. Yeah, they hard to see, but I got them. And it's a pain that is bearable to me.

It's weird. It's weird. I can sit there. I can sit there for a four or five hour session, but you're not sticking me with that twirl on needle. That ain't happening. Give me that needle. Uh-uh.

Give me that needle. No, sir. Hey, Ocho, I can't. No. I can't sit there and let you. Now, look, obviously you got fatty tissue in your butt, got muscle. But think about Ocho when they hit that bone in them ankles or they're going through your ribs or they hit that.

Hey, that needle this long and they're going in that shoulder and they got to move it around because they got to get as much medicine in there and in many different areas man please hold on i'm thinking about too now i'm thinking about i'm thinking about tattoos what hurts really bad you don't have any i'm so people in the chat that probably have you get the tattoo on the shin on like right on the bone yeah any uh on the on the inner on the inside like the the inside of the arm like where you use this um you know i have a leg sleeve right yeah on the on the the back the back of the quad or the ham not the quad the back of the hamstring right man oh man listen here, man. Man, listen here, man.

I can't do that, though, Joe. I ain't gonna lie to you. My kids, my son got a tattoo. My daughter got a tattoo. Bro, my daughter got a tattoo against my wishes. Yeah. I took her ass right up there to get it taken off. You serious?

Ocho, Micah responded to comments on his podcast today. He tweeted, LOL, I want to do people hate my podcast because it's actually good or do people hate it because it's bad because hella people in the NBA and NFL have podcasts and no one has a problem. Yeah. Look it, Ocho, I'll beat you the F up if you stop your podcast. You have a voice and a platform. Use it or deal with the consequences from me. Listen, I like it. I like the podcast. I like the era that we're in. Obviously, the national media was in control

of the narrative and the perception of athletes. I like the fact that athletes now have a voice. They cut the middleman out. They cut the middleman. I like the fact that I don't think it gets in the way. I don't think it's a distraction because when it's time to play the game of football and that whistle blows everything on the outside of that,

it doesn't matter. You don't see it. We don't see it. I don't know how other people operate where they allow things on the outside to affect them when it's time to play football. That's just not me. And I look at Micah Parsons as one of those type of individuals who plays at the highest level and is really good in what I call the press situation, wearing that star on his helmet.

And he always shows up to the occasion. Now, at times he might say things he shouldn't say because it puts pressure on everybody else around him. Well, they have to show up to the party for some of the things he says. But other than that, man, talk your talk. People want to hear about it. You know, everybody else is hush-hush. Everybody else quiet. You know, you have a game, you have a good game,

you have a bad game. He doesn't hide. No. He talk when he win. He talk when they lose. I think more fans should embrace that. I agree with Joe, Joe. I just think the thing is,

like, bro, the only problem I got with Micah is that he talks so positive about everybody else's players, but he doesn't talk positive about his own quarterback. He's hyping Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow should have been

the MVP. Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow. He was basing off statistics, though, huh? All I know is that when they said top 10 quarterbacks, his quarterback wasn't one of them. So let me ask you a question. If they ask Ocho Cinco, a top 10 quarterback, even if Carson isn't one of them,

you leaving him out? No, you're not. No, no. He going to be in there regardless. No, thank you. He going to be in there regardless. That's all I'm saying. And then, obviously, I don't think Michael was probably thinking about it like that. Obviously, when the question was asked, you know, he was just rambling off what he thought, who he felt his top 10 were, and not putting Dak in it. Probably, it should have dawned on him.

We talk about a defensive player. I'm an offensive player. So the first thing I'm going to name is obviously my quarterback who's responsible for my success. I agree. Now, if it was C.D. Lamb who was asked that same question, guess who would be in that top 10? And probably going to be the first quarterback he says. Ask me who the best safety was.

Steve Atwater? Yeah. I'm taking my guys. Hey, they're great guys. But I'm saying I won championship. Those guys didn't win me no championship. You're like, well, yeah, this is no, hey, they're great guys. But I'm saying, I won championship. Those guys ain't winning no championship.

You're not going to win no championship with Joe Burrow unless you get traded there. It's going to be that. I'm always going to point my guy up. Right,

right, right, right. I'm always going to praise my dog. I don't give a damn if he can't do nothing but sit on the porch.

That's my dog though. So, I don't care if your dog can dial a phone. That ain't got nothing to do with the porch. That's my dog, though. So I don't care if your dog can dial a phone. That ain't got nothing to do with me. That's not my dog. My dog lazy, but that's mine. So I'm always going to hype up. I'm going to hype up my guy.

But look, he has a way of doing things. I think the thing is he's going to learn his trial and error when you talk as much as we talk. And I tell people this all the time. When you talk for a living, you're going to make some mistakes. You're going to say, because sometimes

you're talking faster than your brain is processing it. Yeah. So you're going to, hey, sometimes you're going to open your mouth and a toe going to pop out

because you got your foot in your mouth. It happens, Ocho. Think about how much I talk for it. Nightcap. I got two shows of ESPN. I got five shows of Nightcap. I got two shows of ESPN. I got five shows of Nightcap.

I got Club Shea Shea. Yeah. It's going to happen. People ask me all the time, say, man, how you don't lose your voice? Because when I go home, I don't talk. And this is one thing about Michael Parsons having a podcast too,

is I know what I know what I get on the field from him on Sundays quarter one quarter two quarter three quarter four I know what I get

ain't no question about it I can close my eyes I can tell you what he gonna do it don't matter who he playing so he gets a little leeway in that manner

now everybody else if you ain't out there on the goddamn field and you ain't doing nothing, there's no reason for you to be talking after the game or having a podcast in the first place because you ain't doing your job on Sunday. What is there for you to talk about? Right.

So it's different. All 32 teams attended the HBCU Combine. We can't make an NFL team grab HBCU players or pick them, but you can show what their abilities are. It's four or five of these guys, to me, that can be in this league. I agree. No, we're not saying, look, but if you don't see them, obviously, your scouts had to come see what Savannah State had to offer.

I mean, they came and they tested us. My junior year, they came and looked. We had a couple of guys, like we had a guy named Bobby Curtis, and he was outstanding. And so, you know, they would come down and obviously when something, you know, you hear about, hey, man, this guy might go

to the NFL. Some scouts gonna be there. We played Central Florida and, you know, we played teams like that, played Georgia Southern. Okay, scouts to be there. We play Central Florida and, you know, we play teams like that, play Georgia Southern. Okay, scouts are going to be there. Oh, I'm going to shine. You might come there looking for somebody, but I guarantee you

when you leave, you're going to ask, who that number two? Yeah, yeah. Hey, Bill, that number two. Hey, he a sophomore. Uh-huh. Okay.

And that's one thing I always say, the eye and the sky don't lie. A lot of players, they always focus on going to the right school, you know, going to the PWIs. Listen, it don't matter where you go because when the scouts turn on the film, all you got to do is pop out on tape.

If you really who you think you are, it don't matter where you go. It's what you do when you get there. They will find you. You can play football with the Sisters of the North in Alaska. When they turn the film on and they see that

certain number that's always active and popping out on film, it's easy to stand out. If everybody went white and there's one person in black, you're going to be able to notice it right away. Mm-hmm. When you turn on the film,

they will notice you. Yeah. It doesn't matter. Hey, I tell you what, if you don't know what my number is, go watch Savannah State. I guarantee you, at the end of the game,

you're like, man, who is that number two? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And matter of fact, do if you do go to smaller schools and you don't pop out on film there then what you gonna do when you're at a bigger school yes come on now if you really who you think you are man man don't get me started i'm not i'm not here to preach. It ain't Sunday. But that's how I was.

I was always, I always wanted to show up, Ocho, because I remember we had, Ocho, we used to have, hold on, what do they call them? Jamboree. You know the Jamborees? Did y'all have Jamborees? We had Jamboree in high school at Mylander Stadium, at Mylander.

Yes. So you play one team for a half, and then you play another team for a half, and then that team will play that other team for a half. So we had those. And so we had a spring, my senior year, my junior year, we had a spring game. And we had this player, and Coach was like, Coach, y'all was going to put us all on a team together, stack the team to make sure.

I said, nah, I want to be on the other team. Right. Because I knew all the scouts. Clemson, Georgia, South Carolina, all the scouts was going to be there. Hey, Graveyard had to show up, old chump. Nothing. No, sir.

Yeah. No, sir. They're cutting up. No, sir. Hey, own him. Graveyard was here, but hey, old chump, I'm telling you. hey Odie graveyard with your body I'm telling you when I left the field there were bodies everywhere

graveyard was here those are good old days I miss those oh Joe Drake may have lost the beef to Kendrick but he has certainly

not lost his charity a couple of videos have surfaced from his shows in Sydney So Drake may have lost the beef to Kendrick, but he has certainly not lost his charity. A couple of videos have surfaced from his shows in Sydney. First, he noticed a pregnant woman in the mosh pit. Let's check out the video. I saw a sign that somebody said they were 20 weeks pregnant in the pit. Get your ass out of the pit. Yes.

Are you 20 weeks pregnant? Get out of the pit. Yes. Are you 20 weeks pregnant? Get out of the pit. Get out of there. Get the camera on her. Get that baby out of the pit ASAP. Come here, girl. Yo, grab it. Get her some VIP tickets immediately at like $30,000.

They can't make me hate that dude. I don't care. I don't hate him. Yeah. Hey, listen. That's dope. I don't care. I don't hate him. Yeah. Hey, listen. That's dope. That's real dope. Obviously, understanding the dangers of being in the mosh pit, especially depending on what

song he plays, having the baby idea, not really healthy because the people around you ain't really paying attention and really don't care that you pregnant. And, ho, listen. And to add the cherry on top, he offered $30,000. And one thing, if you know about Drake, oh, yeah, he going to take care of you pregnant. And hold, listen, and to add the cherry on top, he offered $30,000. And one thing, if you know about Drake, oh yeah, he gonna take care of you now. He's a generous individual. Yes.

Yeah, that's live. That was dope. I like that. And then, Drake did this. Oh, another one? I like this song right here. He says, rock, rock, paper, scissors to buy his dad a birthday card. Oh, and not only... Think about it. Oh shit, this is my game, boy. You ready? One, two, three. You lost.

I'll give you one more. Think about it. Think about it. One, two, three. Ooh, tied it up. One, two, three. Oh, tied it up. One, two, three. Ooh, tied it up. One, two, three. Oh, tied it up.

One, two, three. You lost again. Yeah, play the noise where it loses. Uh, uh, uh. I'm still gonna give you $20,000 super value back. That's a lot. Don't let the be on rock paper scissors though i will win all right one more one more one hey that's live man listen it's one thing to put on a concert

to get out there and perform sing and then leave but to be able to have those moments we able to engage with the crowd and become one with them whereas's relatable. That's why he's as big as he is. That's why so many people can relate to him and his music because you do stuff like that. Everybody don't do that. Ocho, a man came to a nail salon to get a refund for his girl's $400 nails. The only problem is they were only $80. The girlfriend fleeced him for $320 Ocho, watch this video

But that's a good one Yeah I came in to get like a refund Cause my girl, she came in earlier And she got some $400 And she was talking about something You were holding her hostage and about to call the cops What?

Like she gets home And bro, it's just some lines at the top. That's not, that's not no $400. Well, first off, I haven't done

$400 nails today, so I, I just want to make that, I haven't done $400 nails today. What's her, what's her girlfriend's name? Her name's Stacy.

She had an 8 o'clock appointment in the morning today. I want to show you hers because I don't want, I don't want any drama and no BS because this is something you're going to have to figure out with her. But her nails were only $80 today. Look, here's her result.

It was only $80. I haven't done no $400 nails today, dude. So nobody was holding anybody hostage or calling the police or anything like that. So you're going to have to go figure it out with her. But I haven't done no $400 nails. Oh, and I think she lied to me. I'm going to talk to her. No, she definitely lies to you.

Oh, f***. She scammed you, bro. But I'm not the scammer here. It's your boyfriend. So you better go figure it out. Thank you. Yep. All right.

Love. Hey, you know what? That's his fault, huh? Yeah. That's his fault. Now, listen. Listen. As a boyfriend, you're supposed to know how much maintenance costs for the woman you're dealing with you got to have some type of background some type of some type of knowledge of nails hair lashes wigs coloring you know so ends you got you got to know all that stuff

you know so he's not he's not sharp and he's not detailed and knowing what his women likes and how much the thing costs that she needs for her upkeep four hundred dollars you know better than that. You should know better than that. Like, I do nails, huh? I do lashes, you know? No, I do eyebrows. I thread. You know, I do individuals. I do strips. Like, I do

my daughter's makeup. You hear me? So you got to know that stuff, man. He trippin'. Like't he don't really need to have no girlfriend i'm just being honest because that's stuff you supposed to know if your girl asks you i need four hundred dollars to get my nails done you're supposed to look at her are you okay are you okay because you think i don't know no better you mean for the man stop most guys most guys everybody gonna take this i mean you take your woman to me if I don't know no better? You mean for the man? Stop. Most guys, most guys, everybody's going to take

the, I mean, you take your woman. I mean, if you don't, if you, if she tells you a certain number, you don't believe her, well, you probably need to move on. Yeah. Or what she can do is instead of lying about it, because if she lied about that, if she lied about

something that small, she lied about something big. And that's my point. If you don't trust her to tell you that the money that was it cost for her to get the nails, what else you don't trust her about? You need to move on. It's really that simple. As a matter of fact, what she did with the rest of the money anyway? Might have spent it on her side, dude. Probably.

Let me stop that. I don't know what she did with it. I don't know. Maybe she went and got her makeup done maybe she went and got you know got another service provided for with that extra money I don't know if you tell me

I need X amount of dollars for my hair I need this and this okay I'm going to give it to you man look here if I got every time you ask me for something and if I got to worry about it if I'm giving it to it to you. Man, look here. If every time you ask me for something and if I got to worry about it, if I'm giving it to you and you're doing what you think,

that ain't got nothing to do with me. Right. I can't worry. I ain't going to lie to you. I can't even worry about it. Yeah, I understand what you mean, but just the fact that I'm well versed and I have expertise in all those areas

when it comes to the upkeep and understanding the prices and how they range, you know, varied on what it is you're trying to get. Yeah, that ain't gonna work. You ain't finna pull the wool over my eyes. I know what everything costs.

Everything. From high end to low end. So how you want to play the game? And matter of fact, you really can't get no money out of me anyway because half your upkeep, I know how to do it anyway. I don't care.

I don't care if a woman does know how to do my upkeep. She ain't cutting no hair. Hey, you want to buy it? Hey, I need my lashes done. Well, come on over here and lay down. What you want? Hybrid? Classic?

Mega volume? What you need? Come on, come on, lay down. What you want, strips? You in a hurry? I give you some strips real quick. Hell, I give you individuals. Play with me if you want to.

Talk about I need $300. Man, get out my face. No, I mean, that's how I am. Look, I ain't got time. You say, hey, I need X amount for my hair. I need X amount for this. Okay, I need X amount to get my car fixed. Okay, fine.

I'm going to take your word for it. Hmm. Just be careful now. Yeah. Because once you break my trust oh yeah it's a wrap it's a wrap it's done in matter in matter in matter fact

you know what i'm gonna leave it alone we're there i'm gonna leave it i ain't i ain't gonna say it i ain't gonna say it i'm leaving alone yeah it's uh it is what it is man like I said

sometimes I don't know uh sometimes people take advantage of your kindness or your generosity uh whatever the case may be and you know it is what it is Ocho

yeah man yeah um it's a situation where you you know, you're like, damn, just be honest. If the nails cost $400, they cost $400. If they cost $200, they cost $200. If they cost $100, they cost $100. I'm thinking, Ocho, it's hard for me to see a scenario because, hell, I get my nails done once a week and I, you know, it's at least $110. I mean, sometimes it's like, I mean, some places it's give or take.

When I go to Atlanta, it's 140. The lady I did, Tasha, hey Tasha, I know you watching. Her is 165. Lady here in Vegas, they 110.

They're one of those. So, it's hard for They won the nails. So, it's hard for me to see a scenario that especially women get like, I think, what do they call them,

gels? Acrylics? Yeah. Okay. It's hard for me to see a scenario where they're not going to be, they're going to be

at least, what, a 150? How much gel nail cost, Chad? You about right. You right up there. Yeah. It can get a little bit more expensive

when you add the designs. You add the designs and stuff. Now you're talking. Yeah. I got a friend of mine. She does nails. I should have hit her up. I knew we was just going to be talking, asking how much she charge.

Man, she probably tried to break people out. She probably be charging two, $300. Cause you know, she like, she's, she's like an artist.

So she can draw stuff on the nails and stuff like that. And I get that. So, you know, you, you taking that kind of time. Uh, I get it.

Uh, somebody said $195, $1,500 for what? Ain't no nails195 $1,500 for what ain't no Nails cost no $1,500 if y'all get y'all $1,500 hey Ocho I don't want to say nothing

but uh Laker just won and Braun had a faulty piece whoo he was a faulty ball and who they played Who they played Portland

And You gotta realize He just played 37-38 minutes last night Fought a little Bit of back to back Hold on And with a

Fought a ball Portland ain't that good Huh Oh whoa whoa whoa You just tell me All the time in football You play who you play That's what you tell me

Say oh you gotta play I know I know I know, I know, I know. As a matter of fact, you know, it's LeBron anyway, though. He can score 40 on any given night against anybody. So I take that back. You know, I take that back.

I apologize. I apologize. That man got his age. The man got his age. Yeah, he like that. He won them ones, now. 40 balls. And he should be all NBA in year 22.

I mean, rightfully so. Rightfully so. I don't think nobody going to argue that. Let that ball man D-Lo say. That's what I be listening to. That's what I be on. Are you listening to that's what i'll be on are you are you listening to boss man d-low yeah mr pot scraper okay it's a it's a new album i i don't know i'm not sure i don't know if you're in the r&b or not

Leon Thomas. You know, it's some good, I don't even know what genre of music, you know, category it would go under, but, man, I've been listening to him all day long. All day long. All day long. I guarantee you'll like it. I guarantee you.

Luka didn't play tonight, Ocho. So they're going to have to find a way to play together because it's not going to be like, okay, Luka, you take the night off. LeBron, you got it. LeBron, you take the night off. Okay, Luka, you got it. They're going to have to find

Austin Reeves had 32. Woo! I mean, look, AR, hey, hey, he'll be like Kobe. Oh, he's going to be at work. I believe he's going to be... What's he calling?

He'll be like Kobe. I believe, I believe Austin Reeves have the skill set to be, to be an all-star. He that good. He that good, man. You watch him as a rookie,

Michael Jordan made Michael Jordan people get hair would grow they thought bro just got you cut your hair bald that don't mean you could say yeah Michael Jordan Michael Jordan made Michael Jordan people's hair would grow they thought bro just because you cut your hair bald that don't mean you can jump like Michael Jordan you should live your ish alone yeah yeah Mike would

probably be one like Kojak was really the first hey Lou Gossett Jr. oh that's a good one I don't think I don't have Lou Gossett Jr. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, dude. I don't think, I don't have Lou Gossett Jr.

ever had hair. I don't, I don't know. Yul Brynner? Yul Brynner's before your time. A famous actor. What football player

would be ball or Joe and B? Ball? Is there a football player would be not a ball or Joe and B ball is there a football player that's ball like only one I can think of is Otis Sistrunk I know you don't remember

Otis Sistrunk he played with the Raiders in the 70s yeah I don't really know but I think about it it seems like everybody got goddamn hair. Or dreads. Yeah. Or some kind of something.

I guess they just say, oh, X-Man, Xavier McDaniel. Shaq. Yeah. Shaq is a good one. Yeah, because I don't think... I think Shaq might have had hair his freshman year at LSU. Maybe. I love fade.

Your boy, T.O.? Yeah, T. T got a ball. T got a ball. Tiki and Rondé Barber. Tyra said, what's up, Hogan Ocho? Is there a real chance that Luka don't sign the extension with the Lakers? No.

You never say never, but never say never, Ocho. Yeah, I'll say never. He ain't going nowhere. Ocho, these people are here talking about Jada Pinkett. Cameron, I'm with you. You asked my question who is a basketball player that made the Hall of Fame

but didn't win a ring a bunch of them Patrick Ewing Karl Malone Charles Barkley a bunch of guys a lot of them Elgin Baylor

Elgin Baylor retired the year, and the next year, that year, the Lakers won the championship. Yeah, there's been plenty of people that, basketball players, that that's in the hall but didn't win a ring. Isaiah Lancaster, Ogunnocho, Amon Ross,

St. Brown said, healthy lives would beat the Eagles. Who would you take if they played opening night? Different. If they played last year, they're healthy. I'd would beat the Eagles. Who would you take if they played opening night? Different. If they played last year, they're healthy. I still take the Eagles. I think the Eagles were the best team. I said that about week nine, week 10 that I thought based on what

I've seen in totality. There might be somebody that had a better offense. Somebody might be better on defense. And somebody might have better special teams. But if I combine all those ingredients, I thought the Eagles had the best team, Ocho. Yeah. And so if they play, it's different.

It's like, well, if they play opening night, Ocho, it ain't got the same juice, bro. Right. The playoff juice, even opening night juice, ain't playoff juice. And it definitely ain't NFC Championship game or Super Bowl juice. But I would take the Eagles. If they played this past season in the playoffs and both teams,

I would take the Eagles. It says, also, do you see a blockbuster trade in the NFL taking place in the future as big as Luka and AD? I mean, you don't see 25-year-olds get traded that don't want to get traded. It won't happen.

Now, equivalent probably would have been Deshaun, but there were some extenuating circumstances that went along with that. But no, I do not see that trade. A comparable trade. A trade, a comparable trade. Unless you see

Patrick Mahomes get traded, Joe Burrow get traded, Josh Allen get traded. None of that will happen for another decade. Yeah. Now, if you see

Miles Garrett, but Miles Garrett wants to be traded. Miles Garrett wants to leave. Yeah. If somebody would have traded LT in his prime, okay. If somebody, you know what I'm saying, Ocho, trade a prime in his prime. Trade a Jerry, you know, okay, yeah.

But, nah, I don't see that happening. Hustle said, oh, bet you $100 OKC wins the championship if healthy, Shanna. I'll give you $100 Super Chat if they don't. SGA going to win MVP too. Bet. I got SGA win MVP. I got that. I got OKC not winning title.

Steven G said, question for Unk. Do you think Mahomes will retire only playing for Kansas City? And Ocho, has anyone else or route running

brought you to tears like Devontae Adams? Woo, boy. I mean, when you think about it, Ocho, think about in the last 20 years, two of the historically great quarterbacks in the history of the game, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, did not finish their careers with the team that drafted them. Right.

Joe Montana did not finish his team with drafting him. Joe Namath, Johnny Unitas, did not finish their careers with We drafted him. Joe Namath, Johnny Unitas, did not finish their careers with the team that drafted them. I say 85%. Or, they can get to a point where he retires

before it even gets to the point where they have opportunity to let him go. Or to say, we no longer want your services. Let me ask you this. Does he retire because he doesn't want to do it anymore or he tired because his skills are diminishing?

With the kind of money he's making, I think he does it when his skills are diminishing and he just can't do it anymore. Samuel Griffin said, Hey, Uncle Nocho, if podcasts were a thing during your playing days, which of your former teammates

would have been the best podcast host? Me and Burns? Shoot. I'm trying to think. Shoot, me, probably me and TJ. Yeah, me and TJ

would have been cool. Hell, shit. And then if I was in Baltimore, it would probably have been me, me and Sugar. You and Ray, it would have been cool. Hell, shit. And then if I was in Baltimore, it would probably have been me and Sugar. You and Ray. It would have been funny. Yep.

J-Dub from Akron said, Ocho, you see young brother wanted to purchase Spirit. Are you going to partner up? Who want? No, I missed that one. I missed that one. Good. I missed that one. Hey, but listen, you know, you talk about spirit,

and you notice all these incidents happening. You notice spirit ain't been in nothing, man, one of them. Because they're grounded. I'm just talking. It's hard to accident when you watch. I'm just throwing that out there. You know, no disrespect to the other airlines, but we ain't had one issue.

He has a blood clot in his right shoulder. They are very optimistic. They're hoping it's more in line with what Brandon Ingram dealt with, where he missed a season.
