D'Amico Ryan says Jordan Love will be
the best QB we've faced
despite playing Josh Allen.
Bill's fans are taking these quotes very
serious. many feel that
josh allen is the second best quarterback in the league behind patrick mahomes me personally i'll
take lamar jackson but that's another story oh joe do you believe that jordan love will be the
best quarterback that the texans have faced even though they do have Josh Allen on their resume.
Yeah, probably.
Probably.
I think Josh Allen is very good.
Obviously, his resume speaks for itself,
despite obviously the turnovers, but he's good.
You can see what he's doing now and being Superman,
not having elite players around him,
but still getting the job done.
But Jordan Love is really good.
Jordan Love is really good.
Jordan Love, to me, is in the same bracket, in a sense,
with Jaden Daniels, with a C.J. Stroud, with a Lamar Jackson.
You know, he's also a dual-threat quarterback.
He can run.
He can run.
He can throw.
He can make all throws.
And to be young as he is, he's very promising,
which is why they paid him what they did.
And I mean, I agree with him.
I agree.
Jordan Love is really, really, really good.
Really good. And the funny thing about it is, is you have to be a football fan, not a casual fan of the game.
You would have to be a football fan to understand how good Jordan Love is and actually watch those Packers games.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Like I said, I take Mahomes first.
I don't put anybody next to him because you see what he's done
in his six years of starting.
It's off the charts.
I mean, you don't get to four Super Bowls in six years.
You win three with two MVPs, three Super Bowl MVPs.
That's beyond what Brady has more.
But if you look at Brady's first six years
and you look at his first six years,
you look at Brady.
Brady, they were a defensive team.
Brady wasn't asked to do what Mahone boy is doing.
Right.
But, yeah, he's phenomenal.
I would take Lamar Jackson as my second quarterback
behind Mahone over Burrow and
Josh Allen, but I can
see people saying Burrow. I can see people
saying Josh Allen, maybe
CJ, Jordan
Love, Purdy, whatever the case may be.
But one-two for me is my homes
and Lamar.
So,
hold on, hold on now.
Who are our top five so we got we got we got burrow first you got lamar so josh allen third hold on you got burrow first in front of who no i said i said i
said my homes is first okay no you said burrow is first okay my bad my bad you know i'm just
thinking bangles my bad my bad so i mean like You know, I'm just thinking Bangles. My bad, my bad. So, I mean,
like, talk to me real quick
on your top five,
based on who you would say,
if they were to ask you.
So, you have, you have, um,
Josh Allen second,
before Lamar?
I would take,
no, I would take Lamar second.
Okay.
I would take,
I would take, I would take Josh third, Burrow four, and I would take
Josh third, Burrow four
and I would take
I think I would take CJ
fifth
how you put Josh out
in the front of Burrow though
easy, I said I would take
Josh out
that's your preference?
Yeah. I mean, look, I think once you get past the first two,
I think you're kind of splitting hairs with Josh Allen, Joe O'Burrow, and CJ. I know CJ is only his second year in the league,
but I don't see a situation where he regresses.
I only see situations where he improves.
Right.
Jordan Love is, Jordan Love is, and people are like,
man, you talk about Jordan Love over Dak.
Yeah, I'll take Jordan Love over Dak.
I'll take CJ Stroud over Dak too.
Ah,
oh,
oh,
oh, oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
but you know the thing is most of the quarterbacks you can go to week. I think the top two are kind of set
because Josh Allen, Burrow,
none of them playing as good.
Jerry Goff is playing as good as anybody.
Oh, yeah, most definitely.
And you didn't even mention him.
No, that's what I'm saying.
I think it can go week to week,
like most positions can go week to week.
I think when you look at what Mahomes has done, his body of work,
now at the end of the year, we can say, does he still deserve
to be the number one quarterback?
We'll see.
Probably, because this is what we see from Mahomes every year,
especially in the beginning of the season.
It always looks like this.
The numbers aren't staggering.
It's not crazy. But all of a sudden, when it matters most, guess who always comes through in the beginning of the season. It always looks like this. The numbers aren't staggering.
It's not crazy.
But all of a sudden, when it matters most, guess who always comes through in the clutch?
Right.
Guess who?
Every time.
Every time.
At some point, you're going to have three, 400, 500-yard games.
They're going to come.
They're not going to come right now for some reason.
They never come at the beginning of the season for them.
It's always something.
There's always an issue with the offense or the balls being dropped.
There's no receivers.
They're not catching the balls.
That's what it was last year.
This year, injury.
Rasheed Rice is out.
Juju, goddamn Juju, steps up.
Had the hell of a game.
Travis Kelsey gets going late.
Remember.
It's always something. The Patriots said, nah, we ain't got no use for Juju.
He comes back, look at Juju.
Wrong system.
You look at Justin Watson.
When she goes out, Juju comes in, 130-yard game, like that, off the rip.
Just that fast.
Just that fast.
Quarterback can take average receivers and make them look really, really good.
Yeah.
That's what the really good ones can do.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. them look really really good yeah that's what that's what the really good ones can do but the quarterback is so hard Ocho because any given week you're like I take Jerry Goff no I
take Josh Allen no I take CJ no I take I'll take Jordan Love no I'll take Joe I'll take Josh. And I mean, you, we've seen pretty deal where you like,
well,
that boy pretty good.
Mm.
And you know,
it's funny.
I always think about when you think about your top five chat,
whoever your top five players are.
I always think about it.
Forget the stats,
we get the numbers and all that stuff.
I know all that matters,
but if you were to put them on any other team,
would they still be able to be efficient and be productive
regardless of where they went,
regardless of who was at their disposal
as far as weapons are concerned?
Could they still wheel and deal?
Boy, can you imagine Mahomes with Chase and Higgins?
Can you imagine him with
Waddle, Tyreek,
Mostert, A-Tan?
Hey.
Listen.
Or you put him in San Francisco
with that running game,
Christian McCaffrey, Kittle,
Debo, IU, Jennings.
Unfair.
Man, look.
Some guys is that they are a system.
They defy whatever you're doing.
They are above it.
Right.
And they'll elevate whatever you have around them.
They'll elevate them.
Very few can do that. That's difficult. Very elevate them. Very few can do that.
That's difficult.
Very few at the quarterback position can do that.
There may be two or three that can do that.
No matter what situation they go to, they can elevate it.
Man, Nelly Bailey, stop.
Stop.
What'd he say?
What'd he say?
What'd he say?
If that's the case, you put Lamar in front of my home.
Stop. Don't do that.? What do you say? What do you say? If that's the case, you took Lamar, you put Lamar in front of my home. Stop.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
You were doing so good.
Just like I'll use a reference as far as boxing.
Nelly,
my bad.
I'm sorry.
It's a sheet.
Nelly,
don't do that.
Oh,
don't do that.
Nelly,
I say in reference to that,
we're going to put you in time out.
Styles when fights and boxing.
Styles wins fights.
So I really,
I really wouldn't do the switch.
I wouldn't do the switch,
but even,
even at this point,
especially in Lamar's career with the way he's looking as a passer,
forget him running the ball,
forget the offense that he's in.
I can see him doing well as a strictly a drop back passer. Forget him running the ball. Forget the offense that he's in. I can see him doing well as a strictly
a dropback passer if the roles were reversed, hypothetically
speaking, if he was a Chiefs quarterback. That's just me.
I'm not saying I would pick my homes over him. I'm just saying if the roles were reversed.
What makes him so dynamic and scary
is his legs so are you telling
me that he's going to be there and he's not going to be able to
use his legs yeah I mean
I'm saying that's why I say this is a hypothetical
right yeah because that's what
makes him he can use his legs but I think
he's just that he's gotten that much more
dangerous with his arm as well oh yeah for sure
yeah he's becoming much better
at throwing the football.
Roger Goodell isn't ruling out
an international Super Bowl.
International?
Commish said,
we've always traditionally tried
to play the Super Bowl in an NFL city.
That was always sort of a reward
for a city that have an NFL franchise.
But things change.
It wouldn't surprise me at all
if that happens one day.
Whoa, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
The true NFL fans,
the true NFL fans of the teams
that actually go to the Super Bowl
can't even get the motherfucking tickets
to support their team
that they've been going to watch
the entire season.
Now we talk about having a Super Bowl internationally
for the higher-ups that ain't supporting the teams
throughout the entirety of the
season. So that puts us
regular fans. What does that say
about us? Ocho.
Somebody about some
cities, London or
somebody about
to pay $500 million for a Super Bowl.
They gone.
See, it's all about the
money. At the end of the day,
it's all about the money. What about us fans?
What about us fans? I buy
dolphin tickets. I buy bangles tickets to go
watch my bangles and I buy tickets
to go watch my goddamn dolphins.
My hometown. Put this on my
iPad so it can be streaming.
That's what the NFL going to tell you about.
What about the fan?
Put that up on my iPad so I can watch it while it's streaming.
And we finna go get this $500 million,
three quarters of a billion dollars from some Germany or wherever they play,
London or wherever they play these games at.
That's what the NFL going to tell you. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I or wherever they play these games at. That's what the NFL is going to tell you.
Yeah.
I mean, honestly, I like it.
I like the idea.
I like the idea, especially for growing our sport globally.
Yes.
We will probably never be able to compete with that of soccer over that way.
But the fact that we have integrated and found a special place for those who
enjoy American football
I think there's a place for
us over there
and it's ways to make money
it's ways to make money
and to be able to make it
on that other side of the world would be awesome
hell if you really want to make some money
we might as well have the Super Bowl in goddamn Saudi Arabia
you talk about $500 million,
shit, they'll give us a billion.
Dubai?
Yeah. Think about that.
Super Bowl in Qatar.
Super Bowl in Saudi Arabia.
Sure will.
Super Bowl in Dubai.
Come on, man.
And I'll be right over there trying to get you some of them dollars, too.
Hey, think about what they would pay for that, huh?
For sure.
Think about what they would pay for that.
Well, I know what they would pay.
You see what they pay in the host boxing events
or UFC fights.
Yeah.
So imagine the Super Bowl.
Thank you.
Now that's something I go broke for.
That's a great memory for that's a great memory
that's a great memory
I know
I know
I know you're going to see this
let's think about that Super Bowl in Saudi Arabia
preferably Dubai
come on now
the bottom line is always the dollar
if you want to make it
I need 10%.
Ocho,
Dubai and Saudi Arabia
are two different places.
Oh, I know that.
I know that.
I know,
but I think it'd be better suited
for the people,
for the fans.
Dubai would be better than Saudi Arabia.
I can do that.
Let's do it in Dubai.
Yeah, Dubai would be much better
than Saudi Arabia.
Oh, yeah, most definitely.
There's more to do there.
There's more to do there.
But the funny thing about it is,
you know what?
You know who has more money, huh?
The Saudis.
The Sheikh.
Dubai.
I don't know how to say his name the right way.
But, oh, my goodness.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know how to say his name the right way.
I'm talking about loaded.
Man.
Different kind of money over there, man. Mohammed bin Sa it. Man. Different kind of money
over there, man.
Mohammed bin Saweed.
Yeah, there it is.
Hey, different kind of money
over there, um.
Oh, yeah.
But here's the problem
you're going to run into.
What's that?
Anheuser-Busch ain't going
to be happy.
They can't sell no products
over there.
Why not?
Hold on. There's ways around everything, boy. You hear't sell no products over there. Why not? Hold on.
There's ways around everything, boy.
You hear me? I tell you what, I bet you I ain't
going to get caught with an alcoholic beverage.
You'll never beat the brakes off me.
Throw my ass in jail.
Listen, it's so much money
at stake. There will be certain
rules for a certain, especially an event
of this magnitude with this type
of money at play.
That's all right. I'm drinking water.
I could go a week
without an alcoholic beverage.
Yeah, I got you.
And the rules aren't that bad. I went over
those rules before you go. All those
rules they had in place with
the affection in public and the holding hands
and wearing certain stuff.
You can't do this.
As far as when I was in guitar, you know, they went through the room like, really?
They really like that?
Man, listen, it was just as casual and just as lenient once I was there for that month when I had to work the World Cup.
It wasn't as bad as people made it seem.
I take your word for it, but I ain't doing it.

that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask... I'm Leon Nafak, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details
of a scandal that captivated the nation
nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane,
I can't begin to tell you.

Muhammad Ali
was never afraid
to express himself
loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original.
Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best.
Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction.
Those convictions never wavered.
Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey,
Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with
Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas.
It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime.
Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible.
Former President Obama names his all-time starting NBA starting five.
I'm from Chicago, so Michael Jordan is shooting guard.
I put LeBron at point forward.
I want a little shooting and a little flair,
so I'm going to put my friend Steph Curry in the mix
because we're a three-point era,
and he's the greatest shooter of all time, bar none.
At the center, I'm going to put Hakeem, the dream Elijah one,
whose game I think translates in today's game.
The last spot is tough for me, but I've got to go with Katie,
Kevin Durant,
who might be the most efficient score in the history of the basketball.
I'm feeling good about my starting about that five beating just about
anybody.
What'd you say?
Go Joe.
I like, I like Jordan.
I like Jordan.
I like Jordan.
I like the LeBron pick.
I like the Steph pick.
But he lost me a little bit.
He lost me with Elijah Warren.
Why wouldn't we go with the most dominant big man of all time?
Especially in his prime.
I would have went with Shaq.
I think he's looking at in today's game.
You don't think Shaq would translate in today's game?
In his prime.
Not big Shaq would translate in today's game in his prime not big Shaq, I'm talking about Shaq Orlando Shaq
what?
have you seen his fucking footwork when he was in Orlando?
yeah
oh my god
yeah, absolutely
now once he got a little bigger, put on a little bit more muscle
you know, it was there but it wasn't like it was Orlando Shack.
Oh, my goodness.
Ocho, you couldn't go to Dubai.
You couldn't go overseas.
Spirit don't go that far.
Who don't?
Greyhound or the Airways don't travel that far.
Spirit.
Oh, the Megabus go there?

Yeah, but that ain't Spirit.
I know, Megabus cheap though.
No, it ain't cheap.
You should do that. I know you don't like road trips.
Take the Megabus somewhere.
Ain't nothing cheap. Ain't nothing cheap
about going overseas.
Nah, I mean, listen, depending on how early you

Even if you buy it, I mean, you
go United Emirates, it's still going to be
$30,000, $40,000.
How much? $30,000, $40,000 how much?
$30,000, $40,000 nah

24,000 dollars
first class is 24,000
you don't need first class
if you sitting there coach you get there at the same time

when I can get in before we even board.
No, that ain't the same.
That ain't the same. That ain't the same. It's the same.
That's like saying scoring a touchdown
in practice is the same as scoring one in the game.
Is it? But it's different.
You're going to be on the no-fly list when you get caught.
No, you're going to get caught.
We're just going to be, you know, you're going to go to that side.

He said he wanted Shaq.
He didn't understand why former President Obama didn't take...
Huh?
Obviously, at the three, I'm taking LeBron.
At the two, I'm taking Mike.
At the point,
I got to take Magic.
Yeah.
What?
Yeah. Yeah.

You don't like that?
What do you think?
You look small.
Damn.
Hold on.
Man, you got six foot AI and six two Steph Curry.
Right.
But you got to think.
That's 30 and 30 right there.

Okay, that's a good one.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
Sky hook you to death.
I like that.
An NBA exec rips Michael Porter Jr.
as terribly overrated.
The execs believe that Denver is going to be stuck
this year. Denver's second
best player is going
backward. Jamal hasn't been the same.
There's something about Jamal's
health and physical capacity right now
that concerns me. Michael Porter Jr.
is terribly overrated. He's a one-way
player. He's just a scorer.
And I also think Denver has to assess
to get an upgrade.
Ocho, do you agree with this statement?
Fuck no. What is
he talking about? There are a lot of one-way players
that are just scorers that are liability on
defense. What is he talking about?
There's a lot of people
like that in the NBA. And then
there are a few players who are special, who are
great on both ends of the court.
They're good on offense and they're good on defense.
Then there are a lot of people that are just scores.
I mean, how is that an insult?
There ain't a whole lot of players that are good on both ends of the court.
My point is that.
That's why I don't understand this exec who should have let his name be known so we know who it is.
Sound pretty personal
to me.
Has Denver won? Michael Porter Jr.
got a ring, don't he?
Okay, I'm just making sure.
I just want to make sure I got
my ducks in a row.
That's sound
personal.
I mean, look, he's streaky.
He can get hot and shoot you out of the
gym. Right. Or when he's cold,
he cold. He'll break it up
for you.
In your night house.
For some reason, when he played the
Lakers,
he get
ultra hot. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Ocho, now it's time for
Q&A.
Q&A.
Oh, man, look,
I'm a TV... No, I'm not even going to switch back.
I'm going to just stay here.
Hey, Unc, you can hear me?
What?
I think there's another storm coming, too.
Well, back to back. that's three weeks in a row
well I don't think
it's not another
storm like that though right
I don't think so I think it's
maybe the Gulf if I'm not mistaken
it's brewing up
Kobe Bryant said
did Mike miss the ball or was it
underthrown it was underthrown and he kind of lost it.
I mean, the worst thing that could possibly happen happened.
He lost his balance and the guy ended up intercepting it.
If he didn't lose his balance, that's the catch.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, that's the catch.
For sure.
What you call it?
It's like, Aaron, like how unlucky must I be?
Yeah.
Was it Carr?
Estar?
Devontae ain't going to make a difference if Rodgers
underthrows him by five to 10 yards.
Relax.
They've been together for eight, nine years.
They ain't going to have him.
I thought tonight was one of Rodgers' best games that he's played since he's been there.
Pat, almost
300 yards. I thought he was
very, very accurate.
He threw. He was very decisive with
where he wanted to go with the ball.
He didn't miss a whole lot of throws.
I thought this was one of his better games.
23 of 35,
294 touchdown, one interception.
He was sacked three times.
But I thought overall they played really, really well.
Yeah.
They didn't get the victory to show for it
because the difference is when they got into the red zone,
they settled for field goals.
Field goals.
And when you get into the red zone, you need to score touchdowns.
And what?
They missed two.
But the mere fact you try to kick field goals as opposed to uh getting touchdowns right but we'll see if uh if they do get Devontae we'll see the difference
does it make but the thing is is that you have to be uh careful of Ocho yeah that when you
strengthen one side or you think you're strengthening one side, the other side doesn't relax.
You get that a lot.
Oh man, now we don't have to do what we normally do
because they're going to be able to score points.
And then you let up on your end and then
all of a sudden, it snowballs.
The Green Show said, well, the
Cowboys win a Super Bowl in your
life. Well, they did. They won
three in my life. No, they won a lot more than three.
They won five in my lifetime.
I was born in 68.
So they won two in the
70s and they won three in the 90s.
So they did win five Super Bowls in my
lifetime. Now, I don't know if they're going to win
any more in my lifetime, but they have
won five.
I think they have a chance to win again.
When things change,
I'll leave it at that.
Chase said, what's up
Uncarnated 5 as receivers?
Did y'all take pride in blocking? I know tight end is
different, but on the Ravens, it seems like
they don't mind. Well,
they're a running team. You got
the block. You ain't got no choice.
Look at that Brees Hall run.
Look at Mike Williams block.
Look at Lazard block.
That's the difference.
Anytime you see long runs by running back, the receivers are blocking.
Look at the 49ers.
Look at Debo.
Look at Iyuk.
Look at Jennings.
Look at Kittle.
If you want your running back to have success
if you want to have a successful running game
your wide receivers have to block
and you got to make it a point of emphasis
and you got to make it important to them
I'm probably
arguably
might be the best blocking receiver ever
ever
ever
because half the time I didn't have to touch nobody
just run them off
yeah
ask my running backs ask Rudy Johnson
yeah
well rest in peace Cedric Benson
Larry's your baby
we had Larry Johnson for a little bit you know that
yeah he was watching when he got to y'all though
that's not nice That's not nice.
That's not nice, though.
Because, listen,
when you do laundry,
what you doing?
You washing, right?
So you clean yourself.
Yeah.
But he had nothing.
He was on fumes, Ocho.
He already had almost
800 caries in his body
in two years.
Ain't no coming back
from that, Ocho.
Yeah, he was toting that pill, though.
He was toting.
In Kansas City? Yeah, he was toting that thing, though. He was toting. In Kansas City?
Yeah, he was toting that thing. He wasn't
toting it for y'all. Yeah. Who else we
had?
Michigan running back, man. Last name
was Perry. I can't remember his first name.
He was good.
But yeah, I took pride in my
blocker, man.
I wasn't no Heinz Ward
knocking people out. But I did what I could. I don't no Hans Ward knocking people out.
But I did what I could.
I don't even know. You was Cam Ward.
Who?
Man.
Hell no.
Nah, but you look at guys in the West Coast system,
West Coast wide receivers, you got to block.
You got to.
You got to. Kemper Norwood Jr.
says, oh, my question is, who's the greatest
NBA coach, Phil Jackson or Popovich,
not including rings?
Oh, that's a good one.
Yeah, who would be the best? Man, but
I mean,
but you can make a case that...
Phil coached three of the top ten players in the history of the game.
You could have a strong case that he did.
Everybody has Jordan either one or two.
A lot of people say Kobe is top five.
And a lot of people say Shaq is in the top ten.
I think, look,
I don't think anybody's going to get
11 like
Phil has. I don't think anybody's going to get
11. No.
Phil got 11? 11.
He's got six with the Bulls
and five with the Lakers.
Damn.
I don't think anybody...
I think Pop does more coaching.
I think Phil did better
managing egos.
Right.
And that's coaching in and of
itself. To get guys to buy in
and to play for each other
even if you don't like each other.
Right.
Go ahead.
Pop had to deal with egos?
No, I'm saying Phil managed
egos.
Oh, I thought you were saying
No, no, no.
Pop is more like
Coach Belichick.
That's a good comparison.
Very good comparison.
The structure is there.
It's what we do.
And his best player bought in.
So he can ride Timmy
like Coach Belichick
rode Tom.
So when everybody doesn't go down, if he got He can ride Timmy like Coach Belichick rode Tom. Right, right.
So when everybody else goes down, if he got on Timmy,
well, let me get my ish together.
If he got on Tom, let me get my stuff together.
Oh, yeah. Because a lot of times coaches,
they'll coach the team through their best player.
Especially if they know he can handle it.
So,
I'm sure Tom at the time
didn't take too kindly of it,
but here's the thing though, Ocho.
He didn't show it.
You win.
Tommy would have done,
Tom would have done anything to win.
Right.
Even swallow his pride
and let Coach Belichick say
some things or coach him in a manner
that
he felt was unnecessary
at times.
I'm sure Tim felt the same way.
But at the end of the day,
what do we try to do here?
We're trying to win championships.
One common goal at the end of the day.
And if that helps us win championships,
let's do it.
Jay Garrett exclusive.
Ogunnocho, most players don't get drafted
to their home state team.
With both of you growing up in Georgia and Miami,
would you two have loved to get drafted
to play for the Falcons or the Dolphins?
Absolutely not.
Hell yeah. Absolutely not. Hell yeah.
Absolutely not.
I wish I could have played at home, man.
I could have had all my homeboys, man, out of the city at each game.
But we would have been lit, boy.
No way.
God know you, Dwayne.
He put me in Colorado.
He hadn't even heard of Colorado when I went there.
You wouldn't want to play in Atlanta?
Hell no.
You got to realize, Ocho, the Falcons were terrible when I was growing up.
Okay, that's why.
Okay, okay, understandable.
Well, the Dolphins wasn't that good when I was growing up.
They just had a really good defense.
No.
When you was growing up, they had Dan Marino.
No, I'm saying when it was time for me to get drafted, they had Dan Marino. No, I'm saying, when it
was time for me to get drafted, they had a really good
defense. Oh, would they have
Zach? Yeah.
Jason. Jason Taylor?
Shit, Pat on one side,
Sam Madison on the other.
I think Brock
Merriman. I think,
if I'm not mistaken,
was it
Jeremiah Beal? That might have been a little bit later.
But yeah, they were nice on
defense, boy.
Claude Hector said,
Uncle Nocho, thank you for both of what y'all
do. Do you guys plan on bringing back
the Stay With Me shirts?
I think we're bringing them back as a hoodie, right?
Oh, yeah.
I need that. I need that. I need that.
I need that.
Oh, stay tuned.
This Friday, there's a drop

what it is, but stay tuned.

And you sold out.
But I ordered it.
I paid for it, though.
We're going to refund your money.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle. This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't
make that mountain move without actually diving into that. May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best version
of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all. So tune into the podcast,
focus on your emotional
well-being and climb your personal mountain. Because it's impossible for you to be the most
authentic you. It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please
people. Your mountain is that. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures
and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators
shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation
that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning
so-called niche into mainstream gold,
connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out
there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the
most crowded of markets.

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 Nafak, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do. Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original.
Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best.
Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles,
things he believed in, his own sense of conviction.
Those convictions never wavered.
Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali,
and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey,
Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life
through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson,
Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas.
It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime.
Listen to Ali and Me,
now on Audible.
Alex Figueroa,
Sharp, what is your opinion on
Corey Dillon for the Hall of Fame?
Ocho? Yeah.
Corey Dillon for the Hall of Fame? Goddamn. Yeah. Corey Dillon for the Hall of Fame.
Goddamn right.
I don't have the numbers in front of me.
He's one of the best to do it.
But when I think about players like Corey,
Corey not being in when he should be in,
I also think about players like,
just one comes to mind.
Fred Taylor also deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
Definitely. I think the fact that he played in Jacksonville
is not doing him any justice,
but he should be in. If I'm not mistaken,
is the left tackle Tony Buscelli
in the Hall of Fame already? Yes.
He got in a couple years ago. If Tony Buscelli
is in, Fred Taylor deserves to be in.
Two players for the Bengals
that need to be in the Hall of Fame.
Willie Anderson
and Corey Dillon.
Yeah, because right now y'all only got one. I think y'all only got
Anthony Munoz. Nah.
Ken Riley. And Ken Riley.
Yeah, Anthony Munoz and Ken Riley. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I stopped giving my
opinion because the headlines
always say it's Hall of Famer.
Shannon Sharp doesn't think someone deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
So y'all,
if it is no clickbait,
right.
Ask me about my brother.
I'm going to say,
yeah,
he deserves to be in anything.
Anybody else?
I ain't got no comments.
Right.
Oh,
can you please do it?
Uh,
please do a birthday.
Shout out to my husband.
He turned 40 today.
Happy birthday, KP.
Jamie, we would absolutely wish a happy birthday to your husband, KP.
Happy 40th birthday, bro.
Big milestone.
40.
4-0.
Yeah.
Life has just started.
Man, I remember when I turned 40.
Yeah, yeah, I remember.
I remember, too.
I remember, too, 16 years ago.
I'll never forget it because I I tell you what I did I went to a little little swingers club called trapeze here in Miami on
my 40th birthday yeah yeah yeah that was a good old time I shook the covers in the morning yeah
okay
that was a good old time way back then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So,
well,
yeah,
I'm just,
I don't really need to be thinking about old memories,
but
you were real at 40.
Huh?
I think you were real at 40.
Oh shit.
I was my bad. Yeah, shit. I was. My bad.
Yeah.
I take that back.
Aaron Staples. Von Miller was on my
flight today trying to hide.
His hoodie was pulled so tight,
could only see his eyes. I saw
his face later. His disguise just brought more
attention to him. Have y'all ever wore
disguise in public? No.
Nah.
I don't wear disguise because when you wear disguise
it forces people to really try
to figure out who it is. Yeah.
Yeah. But what I
do, I blend in so well
you probably wouldn't even notice me in public anyway.
I blend in with everybody. Nothing
flashy, you know, just normal
sweats, flip flops, a hat,
sunglasses.
You probably know if I got coffee in my hand or I got McDonald's in my hand,
that's a dead giveaway.
Other than that, you'll never notice me.
No, I've never worn a disguise, but people already say,
I knew it was you.
I could tell by that voice.
So you might as well just go ahead and just disguise.
I mean, who am I going to be. Who am I going to be?
What am I going to be? Put a fake mustache on?
Get you a fake beard?
Maybe get a fake afro?
Nah, that's too much
attention.
What you doing with an afro on 2024?
Nah.
Get you a nice beard.
Maybe I get me some cornrows.
I like that. I like that.
I like that.
Cornrows.
No.
Isaiah Lancaster said,
Okanocho,
Okanocho,
nightcap is the best sports pod
and it's not even close.
Do the 49ers have a chance
to beat the KC
this Sunday?
Yes.
Yeah, they got a chance. Definitely have a chance to beat the KC this Sunday? Yes. Yeah, they got a chance.
Definitely got a chance.
Are they going to win?
Probably not.
Where's this game?
The KC or 49ers?
I don't think they could have been playing this
goddamn game in the Himalayas

New York

It was not happening.
Yes, they absolutely have a chance to beat the Kansas City.
Rematch of the Super Bowl.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
Is he not going to play?
No.
He's out.
And Jordan Mason, I think, is out as well, if I'm not mistaken.
I could be wrong.
Jadavious Ward, I'm not sure if he's playing.
Wow.
A big blow.
