This episode of Nightcap is brought to you by Coligard, a non-invasive colon cancer screening test.
Did you know colon cancer is considered one of the most preventable yet least
prevented cancers? When caught in the early stages, colon cancer has a survival rate of 90%.
So screening and early detections are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths. That's why
the American Cancer Society recommends that if you're at average risk, you begin screening for
colon cancer at age 45. And a convenient way to do that is with Cologuard test.
The Cologuard test allows you to be in control of your colon cancer screening through prescription
based tests delivered to your door with none of the prep that's required for colonoscopy.
No liquid prep, no days off, no invasive procedures. Plus, Cologuard test is affordable.
Most insured patients pay zero dollars 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.
The Cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopies.
High-risk patients' Cologuard tests in adults 45 to 49
is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older. False positives
and false negatives can occur. Colidart is available
by prescription only.
Oh, now joining us,
fresh off a big, big contract.
I'm going to need to let me hold something.
Let me borrow something that I can't pay back.
What?
O-D-G-A-Z-U-A.
Did I pronounce that right?
O-S-A.
O-S-A.
O-D-G-A-Z-U-A.
Yo, it's good to be here.
Thank you guys for having me.
No, thank you for that.
Congratulations on the deal.
You seemingly really came into your own this year thank you for that. Congratulations on the deal. You seemingly really
came into your own this year.
Doing a great job of attacking the run,
put collapse in the pocket, getting to the
quarterback. What was different
this year than in years
past?
I think just more experience.
You know what I mean? Just getting
more reps and then more
opportunity. The most that I've ever opportunity this the most that i've ever
played the most that i've ever gotten that rusted passer so i feel like just having more looks at it
more chances at it it's just always going to allow me to be better you feel me because copycat league
you're getting the same blocks over and over so the game starts to slow down a little bit i can
like start to play the game within the game a little bit more.
Well, considering that you went up against, for the last three years,
you went up against one of the greatest guards in NFL history,
Zach Martin.
So I can imagine what those 101s and that 907 and that team setting was like
because it kind of prepared you.
And you had to feel, man man if i can get off a block
against zach martin none of you other guys got a chance if i can beat him on a one-on-one pass rush
you guys don't have a chance is that what you were thinking bro literally i mean like you know on
sunday i know that the best guys that i went against all week he's just right there to my left
yeah the way so I don't really
have to worry about anybody else like I know that and people ask me like who's the best guy that
you've ever gone against I'm like that's a I go against him every day so Zach is a legend so yeah
I got so much respect for him he's definitely definitely helped me sharpen all of my tools since I've been in the league.
Listen, what factors
influence your decision
to commit
to the Cowboys long term?
I definitely love my team.
Okay, yeah. You feel me?
The routine and
being in Dallas and everything that I have
set up out here is conducive
to what I got going on.
Right.
That's part of the reason why I'm in this position to be able to get more money anyways.
For sure.
So I think that's just as valuable as more money, you know.
And I feel like with that being the case and trying to like chase more for the sake of more, like, you know what I mean?
Cause it's like, you can always just try and get a little bit more, just like trying and, and get like every dollar that you possibly can.
Like, you know what I mean?
I just, it was a very good deal, bro.
Like, and, and I was happy with it.
Like it was life changing money. It was a life-changing money.
Most definitely.
I got to, like, mom
is good forever.
And you're in Texas. No state
taxes. So the money that you might
have gotten, let's just say for the sake of argument, you got
an extra $10 million over the life of the contract
somewhere else. You're going to save that
in state taxes by not having
state taxes there so for me
i'm looking at your uh uh osa is that what can i what can i do with 80 million that i need to be
able to do with 90 million that's what i'm saying that like yeah it doesn't open or close any doors
bro like once you're already in the realm of life-changing generational wealth like right it like you know what i mean it doesn't really move the needle for how for how i'm gonna be
living my life or what i can do so i know i'm smart enough i got good people around me that
are going to be able to help me make more money on on that off the field just um you feel me we're
set yeah hey listen when you get it when you get a contract of this magnitude, right,
you already had personal goals before you got it.
You have team goals as a whole.
Now that you've gotten the contract, have your personal goals changed?
Not at all.
Or are they still the same?
I mean, still chasing greatness, brother.
Still things.
Yeah.
Like, I haven't reached the level that I feel like I'm capable of yet
in terms of my play and in terms of being at the very top of the league
and reaching that pinnacle.
So, and Super Bowl, obviously, like, team-wise, like,
we haven't touched any of those.
So, that's still all out there to play for.
Like, now that the money is out of the way,
it's just all the things that you love about football and the competitive
aspect of it.
And just trying to be great now.
What happened?
Oh,
I was going to ask what,
what happened this year?
A lot.
Bro.
Like,
I mean,
between injuries, like having, having a new decoordinated those growing pains
at the beginning just just a lot of things happened bro throughout the course of the season
a lot of things that nobody could really control i feel like the things that we could control
as far as like attitude and approach and just and just still competing to the very end.
I feel like we did what we needed to do there,
and that's promising just the mentality of the team.
So I feel like that's something that we could build off of for sure.
But you guys seem to struggle against the run.
The last three to four years, Osa, you guys have struggled against the run.
Why is it so difficult?
And I understand you guys want to play an attacking-style defense.
When you had DQ, he wants to attack, get to the quarterback.
You play that attacking style, that 43, get to the quarterback.
Same thing with Zim.
Why do you think it's been so difficult for you guys to stop the run?
That's a tough one.
There's a lot that goes into it.
You know what I mean?
Like, I feel like just being able to do just as good at the run later in the game as like,
as we are in the beginning of the game.
Cause I feel like we don't start out just, you know what I mean?
Like, but against the run, I feel like obviously we've had games where we started slow but I feel like for the most part like we do a very good job at the beginning of
the game stopping the run it's just those later runs like they break them eventually so I feel
like just getting those down and and just locking in even more just to be able to to to do a better
job of stopping the run a little bit later in the game. Hey, when you think about it, listen, I'm as a,
as a football enthusiast like myself, I like the Cowboys.
I like the players on the Cowboys. I like the Cowboys fans.
Now I don't like the way things are running Dallas.
I'm not going to say anything bad about your own or anything,
but I would like to ask you Jerry Jones last year said he was going to be all
in is there anything that you would like to see ownership do to improve the team to give you guys
a better chance at not only competing in the nfc but competing for the lombardi trophy any additions like? Um, I know an old lineman for sure.
Okay.
Just,
we just lost,
lost Zach Martin.
So definitely going to need to pick up a line because you know,
that's a big part of our,
our team.
And I feel like you've got to build from the front back.
Right.
Obviously more D tackles.
Me and Mozzie as of now so getting a little bit more depth behind us and and adding to the d-line room like i said building from the front back
right that's gonna that's gonna be very important i feel like that's just
if you're if you're trying to win football games it's you gotta focus on that line you got your money
and now
it's Micah you see Dak restructured
his contract C.D. Lamb restructured
his gave him nearly $40 million
about $37 million
in cap relief so they got some money
to play with Micah just
saw what Max Crosby got
the most money for a
non-quarterback in NFL history.
I think, uh,
Mike over there, barbecue chicken.
Pizza. Hamburger.
Chicken tenders.
I didn't
say that first because I just felt like that
was so obvious it goes without saying, bro.
We
got to bring Micah back.
You know what I mean? Nothing's going anywhere,
but get that deal done.
So that's just like a no brainer,
bros goes without saying,
got to get,
got to get 11,
right?
Yeah.
And we can't,
we can't wait until the end of training camp before week one starts to get it
done either.
Nah,
I think that's just, that's probably priority. Number one to be on it done either. Nah. I think that's just
that's probably priority number one
to be honest. Yeah. Can I ask you a question
also? When
Jerry is constantly in the headlines
he's saying things like, do you
like, come on Jerry,
come on Jerry, stall us out man.
Let us just play with all the
distractions that you're creating.
Nah, Uncle, you can't answer that.
I don't view it as a distraction, bro.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
Like, what he says doesn't affect what we do out there on the field.
Like, I'm the one out there on the field, bro.
Like, that's not even something that I really think about.
Or let it distract me, bro,
because I know I'm in the driver's seat
when I'm on the field.
So are the other 10 guys out there with me?
So are the 11 guys on offense
in control of the situation?
You do realize,
now when he says,
this team is as talented
as those 90 Super Bowls teams,
and you guys go out there and stank it up.
Now, either he's misguided,
or you guys are not nearly as talented as he thinks.
Now, it's only one of two choices, O.C.
You sound like a hater right now.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
But I wouldn't even say it's an issue with talent.
I'm just like, sometimes the execution is just...
Obviously, in the games that we didn't win,
execution just wasn't where it needed to be.
I don't think it's a question of talent at all.
No.
I don't think so.
So what is...
You mentioned team success.
Obviously, you want to get to an NFC Championship game.
You want to get to the Super Bowl, potentially win that.
But individual, Pro Bowl, All-Pro, what's next?
What would you like to have when it's all said and done?
When we come back, we have a conversation, and we sit down with you,
let's just say for the sake of argument, 10 years from now,
and you're hanging your cleats up, what do you want to be on your resume?
That's exactly what you just said, bro.
Pro Bowl, All-Pro, these are the things that I look at, and that's exactly what I mean
when I say there's still a lot out there for me to play for and a lot of things that I
haven't accomplished yet.
Ojo?
You've gotten paid
I'm thinking about the time
Of my goals that I set
Once I've gotten paid right
All pro
Obviously at some point I would love
To reach the Super Bowl
I wasn't able to do that
You did go to the Super Bowl
No I'm talking about when I was
in Cincinnati. Oh, that ain't happening.
Yeah, yeah. Come on.
Don't be disrespectful. I'm talking about my
bangles. I'm talking about my bangles.
From a team
standpoint, obviously speaking defensively,
what do you think you guys
need to do better to start
the season off right
to get that identity back for you guys
to get back into
and I don't want to say contention, not the right word
back into the good
graces of just being a good defense in general
being that it's been bad
I mean no disrespect, being that
it hasn't been up to par
I'll say it like that, what do you guys need to do?
We got to shut people down, bro.
Right.
Just the run.
Just the run.
That's it.
Shut the run down.
Like, we can,
if we force people to throw the ball,
you know what I mean?
Like, we can pass rush
with the best of them, bro.
So, definitely getting that run stopped
and forcing them into those throwing situations
which they don't want to be in,
which has always been something that was obvious
since I've been a rookie,
is like that's the last thing that teams want to do
when they're coming to play the Cowboys.
They don't want to throw the ball.
So we got to force them to throw the ball
and play our game
you know
Cowboys defensive lineman
Osa Adigizua
recently signed big lucrative contract
he has his money now
now he really gets to focus and become
the player that he dreamed
he could become
pro bowler, an all pro
and hopefully get the team to the Super Bowl.
Olsa, thank you for joining us. Congratulations
on the contract. Stay healthy,
and we're checking with you down the road.
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Thank you for joining us. Don't forget to eat McDonald's.
What?
What?
Don't let's do it back.
Hey, Olsa, you're different, bro like i wish i was one of those could just
eat mcdonald's and and and just go kill it yeah i gotta actually i i gotta go mess with that meal
prep i got you i got you exactly appreciate it bro have a good one man stay healthy appreciate you oh Joe we got some breaking news
tonight
what happened
the Chargers have released five time
pro bowler Joey Bosa
releasing Bosa saved the
Chargers
$25.36 million
against their cap
who do you think should pick him up
Bengals.
If Joey Bosa is gone, then this would be
the perfect opportunity. Now, you can't
command that much money, right? He just
got released. Trey Henderson is doing
a huge deal. I'm not sure
if the Bengals are going to be able to pay him. What about
Joey Bosa coming to Cincinnati?
What do you think, huh? Yeah.
He's still going to want gonna want big he's gonna still
want big money ojo wait wait wait wait a minute now joy book listen you can't be commanding that
kind of money when you haven't been performing the way you should they just released you for a reason
yeah stay with me andrew i mean he's been he's been nicked a lot he's been nicked he's been
injured so you can't come in and talk about, oh, I want the bag.
I'm talking about the bag bag.
He's already gotten the bag bag.
No, he's not going to command Max Crosby money.
No, no, no.
He's going to want big money.
He's going to want big money, Ocho.
He's going to want North 20 million.
Listen, we're going to give him a little something.
We ain't going to do him dirty.
We're going to give him a little something.
We need to upgrade our defense.
This is the perfect time to do so.
Now, Trey Hendrickson is going to be able to command much more than what Joey Bosa would get.
So I understand that.
He's doable?
Huh?
He's going to want that Max Crosby money.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why I say I'm not sure.
We will be able to retain Brother Henderson,
allow him to be blessed elsewhere, bring Max Crosby in.
I mean, bring Max Crosby in.
Bring Joey Bosa in and see what we can do.
What do you think?
No?
Look, the Chargers are trying to kill their cap space.
The thing is, this is $25 million.
For a guy that's over the last several years, Ochoa has been nicked.
He's spent more time off the field than on the field.
That's a lot of money.
If Joey Bosa was playing 15, 16 games a season,
was still giving you that production, when they gave him that big money,
$25 million cap here for a guy that's giving you 12, 13 sacks is gravy.
Yes, sir.
But it's because of the injuries.
And, you know, I'm looking at them.
I mean, they're probably going to go out and try to.
Khalil Mack is interested in what they're going to do with Mack.
Yeah.
Cause he's going to probably want to get extended.
Yeah.
They can't get rid of everybody now.
You probably, huh?
They can't get rid of everybody now.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You got two premier in, you got two premier is now you let one go.
Now you can't let the other one go.
You got there.
Well, you got Derwin James.
That's making a lot of money on the back end.
Yeah.
You got Khalil
that's making good money,
but he's going to probably
want to get extended.
Again?
No.
I mean,
you got to realize,
Ocho,
that contract,
he got,
what,
one year left on his contract?
And what's the Khalil Mack situation?
I think, I think he
has like one year, Ocho.
Okay.
Damn.
But you know, Ocho, coaches,
players, nobody wants to go into that last
year deal. That's
lame duck. Yeah.
Because, bro, what?
Do you believe me or you don't?
It's really there. I mean, especially because I've been in this league.
I've been defensive player of the year.
Y'all know what I'm.
Do you believe in me?
Right.
If I'm not mistaken, I think Matt went to the Pro Bowl last year.
So he's like, clearly the coaches and the players and the fans think I'm still playing at an elite level.
Yeah.
He's a free agent.
Yeah.
Oh, he's free?
Yeah, so they...
Man, listen.
I'm not McCall.
Mack come on to Cincinnati, too.
Oh, but hey, listen.
I don't like what's going on, man.
Tyler Lockett, you know?
Tyler Lockett probably going to be...
Tyler Lockett probably gonna be Tyler Lockett
probably gonna end up
going out there
with Pete Carroll
yeah
they're the good chats
yep
they familiar
yep
they familiar with each other
they know each other
Pete drafted him
yep
Devontae Adams
mm-hmm
now
Jerry Jones
Jerry Jones
I know you're gonna see this
because somebody
gonna send it to you
now
DK McAf has been has been granted permission to seek a trade.
Jerry Jones, if you're really all in, if you want the fan—
He's going to want more than $30 million.
He wants in that $30 million range.
You're not going to have two receivers making $30 million and a quarterback making that kind of money.
And you got to sign Micah.
Where the money coming from, Ochoa?
Can I ask you a question?
Do you hear what you just said, right?
Yes. You heard everything you just said.
So I know I have a lot of fans
that are from Cincinnati in this chat
and based on what you just said,
why do we still believe we'll be able
to keep a $30 million
receiver, a $40 million
receiver, and a $50 million
quarterback? Based off what you just said. And a $30 million receiver, and a $50 million quarterback.
And a $30 million defensive end.
I don't know.
Yeah.
It's tough.
I wouldn't want to be a GM. i wouldn't want to be an owner because i'm gonna act like the yankees i'm spending everything whatever penalty whatever whatever penalty i give and being
over the cap i'll take it because i'm signing everybody oh joe the eagles have agreed to a two-year, $42.1 million extension with Saquon
to dethrone C-Mac as the NFL highest-paid running back.
He became the first running back ever to eclipse $20 million average value,
average annual value, just edging out the $19 million CMAX current deal with the 49ers.
Remember I told you, Sojo, I said, look, they're going to extend it.
He's been too valuable.
He's been a model citizen.
He's everything you could hope for as an organization.
Plays hard.
Good, great teammate.
Great in the community.
Great in the city.
You never have to worry about sleeping with your phone on ring.
If going off a Coach Seriani, Howie, Mr. Lurie,
we have an issue with Saquon.
Don't worry about that.
You want as many of those guys in your locker room as you possibly can.
The guys that are unselfish,
the guys that want to play at an extremely high level,
football is very important to them,
great in the community,
no fanfare. That's what you want.
So I'm not surprised
that they did this. Now,
the Ravens are looking like, hey,
Derrick Henry, like, what about your boy?
What about your boy?
Because you see all the touchdowns.
I think I had more touchdowns than the regular season.
I averaged 5.9 yards a carry, even though I, hey, hey, get me close.
I'll take 19.
In the area, somewhere in the area.
But listen, Saquon deserves this, huh?
He deserves it. Hey, look, I ain't say I got to have the biggest house in the subdivision, but can I move in the subdivision? but listen yeah yeah Saquon deserves this he deserves
he deserves
I ain't say I gotta
have the biggest house
in the subdivision
but can I move
in the subdivision
yeah that's it
put me on the corner
hey hold on
I ain't gotta have
the biggest house
on the block
uh huh
but I just wanna be
on the same block
that's it
I just wanna be
in the crocus sack
put me in the corner
that's it
put me in the corner
you mean
crocus sack or crocus-a-sac?
Oh, my bad.
Cul-de-sac.
My bad.
My bad.
My bad.
Yeah.
I was like, croak-a-sac, that's a burlap bag.
I don't know if you want to be in there.
I was thinking about something else.
My bad.
I appreciate you correcting me, though.

Ocho, 49ers, the Amador, Lenore, reacts to the DK trade with requests
and throws shade at the remaining Seahawks wide receiver,
Jackson, Smith, and Jigba.

Jackson Smith and Jigma reacting by tweeting.
Hey, what the?
We put his tweet up.
Hold on.
Did he call that man?
Did he call that man Jack?
Hold on.
Go back.
Play that back.
Let's see what he called that man at the end.
If I'm not mistaken, did he call him a female name at the
end, Ocho? Y'all cannot let DK
leave. Y'all can't do that.
I don't think so.
Like, who?
How am I going to have fun
out there?
You know, Jack, bro, he be crying

Yeah.
And that's funny, man.
That's funny.
That's funny because watching him and DK go at it, they be going at it.
It's funny, man.
It never got to the extent like a Marshawn Lettermore and Mike Evans,
but the few games I did see,
they always going at it. It's
hilarious. Oh, nah.
The worst was Crabtree and
Akeem Khalid.
Hey, I saw Crabtree
in Houston too, huh? We watched
the fight together. Did you? Yeah, me, Crabtree,
Andre Johnson, and EJ.
Ed and James.
We was all in the same place.

yeah yeah
Ocho the Texans
plan on letting
Stephon Diggs test free agency
and Devontae Adams was cut by the Jets.
Cheetah tweeted about the recent receiver movement around the NFL.
Everyone trying to get out.
Why do you think there's so much movement with receivers currently, Ocho?
I mean, you think of the receivers that are moving.
Most of them are the veterans.
Those that are, you know, up in age a little bit.
Trying to get out of the back end of those contracts.
Obviously, you know they're not going to allow you to hit the back end of the contracts.
Cap hits.
Obviously, DK wanting to be paid.
They're like, nah, we're not doing that.
Which is why they allowed them to seek a trade.
Devontae Adams, money.
There's no way the Jets were paying
the remaining of whatever the next year's
salary was. Let me see.
Stephon Diggs coming off
an injury. He was only on
the one year to begin with. ACL.
Yeah, on ACL. So hopefully he gets
the opportunity to get back
healthy and find somewhere where he can contribute. And those are the reasons.
And Brandon Ayuk, the 49ers, is being reported that they're willing to listen to trade for Brandon Ayuk. So he's another receiver that might be on the move. And you have to understand why they're doing that.
Brandon Ayuk
actually also
coming off
what kind of injury,
if I'm not mistaken?
Huh?
Okay.
What happened, Ojo?
What kind of injuries
are you coming off of?
ACL as well?
Yeah, see?
You know how they treat you,
especially as a receiver.
At a skill position, you know how they treat you, especially at a skill position?
You know how they treat you if you're coming off Achilles or ACL?
They feel you're not going to be the same.
They truly do.
Fresh off his new contract, Max Crosby says he hopes Aaron Rodgers plays for Las Vegas this upcoming season.
Let's take a listen to what he had to say.
Okay.
The first year off in Achilles is
one of the hardest things to do. You've seen it happen with
Kirk. Kirk had a down year.
It happened with Aaron. I mean, he struggled, like you said,
early on, but he got better as the season went.
I think with all the doubt
and all the negativity around Aaron Rodgers
always needs to retire, things like that,
he's getting cut by the Jets.
I think he's going to come back and have a...
I mean, I know he's 42 or 41.
Are you going to say ABB?
No, I think he's going to have a big year this year.
And I hope it's in our town.
That would be awesome.
I'm like that.
I'm not.
See, Max listening to me.
Max listening to me.
Me and Max had some words not too long ago, right?
Matter of fact, watching the show.
Max watched the show because I said something about the Raiders not being able to go anywhere because they didn't have a quarterback.
And Max, you know, he shot me a DM.
And I explained to him, I say, Max, you've been playing this game a very long time i played the game a very long time too you know in order to contend and to compete you already
know who's in your division you already know a quarterback you got to see twice a year in order
to even have a chance you have to have consistent quarterback play max you know that now i love you
baby now the reason he's shooting that shot and wanting Aaron Rodgers to come, because there's hope
that we can get to Aaron Rodgers of old.
Now, you won't get him consistently,
but if we can get him in a,
you know, we can get him to peak
and to come down a little bit,
it gives us a chance. It gives you
that feeling of hope. Now, sometimes,
you know, when you got kids and you tell your kids,
you know, Santa Claus is going to come and get them
cookies,
kids get excited you know there will be excitement in las vegas if aaron rogers decides to come and plus they're going to draft a rookie quarterback allow them to sit by aaron sit behind
aaron for a year maybe two depending on how long he wants to go. I think they'll be all right.
Yeah, I don't think Aaron Rodgers makes the Raiders an instant contender.
No, absolutely not.
But it'd be better than what they've had before.
Yeah, and they just released Gardner Minshew.
What?
Aiden O'Connell is the only quarterback, I think, if I'm not mistaken,
that's still currently
on the roster.
I think I read today that
they released Gardner Minshew, or they're going
to release Gardner Minshew.
So that'll be a great landing spot for
someone. Ocho Vikings legend
Jared Allen roasted the Jets at his press
conference. Let's listen to what he had to say.
Jared Allen.
I'd rather be close than
who sucks the Jets? Oh, gosh. Being the Jets would be miserable right now.
I just can't believe anybody took that job. Oh, rough one. So you get to say this stuff
when you're retired. You can say whatever you want. That's awesome.
Talk bad about all the organizations because they don't pay paychecks. That's awesome. Talk about it on all the organizations because they don't pay paychecks.
That's awesome.
That's funny.
People don't realize, Ojo, he started his career in Kansas City.
They just remember him from the Vikings.
And last year, if I'm not mistaken, I think he played with Carolina.
But he originally started, he was a hellraiser in Kansas City.
Ran a little, got a little trouble off the field.
Right.
And they, you know, they traded him.
Mm-hmm.
But he was, hey, he was a heck of a player.
Oh, yeah, very good.
A heck of a player.
Remember every time he'd get a sack, he roped the cattle,
or what do you call it, when they jump off the horse on the calf?
Yeah.
Calf roping.
Yeah, calf roping.
I used to love that little celebration.
He was nice.
He was nice.
Old Jared Allen.

And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General. 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 Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still
remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
But it was great.
So again, thanks.
Thank you for the hospitality.
Now it's time for our last segment of the evening.
It's time for Q&A.
Earl C.
Hey, I got a side bottle from you today in Houston.
Are you ever going to do a memorabilia autograph session?
I heard pros have deals with companies that allow them to do autographs with them.
I'm thinking about doing something.
Maybe I think in Chantilly, Virginia in April.
Chantilly.
Chantilly, Virginia. Yeah, since my brother got into the hall.
And so I'm thinking about something.
I think I did something last year, a year ago.
Normally, I only do autographs appearances like every seven years.
But since my brother going in and they asked, I said,
if y'all got something for him, I'll come.
That's dope. That's live.
Dark Born said,
Uncle Don't You love seeing y'all on First Take. I never
miss a show. What do you think about the Chargers releasing
Joey Bosa tonight? I never thought
he would not be a Charger.
The only reason you
don't get cut,
you retire before they cut you.
Yep.
Other than that.
Everybody.
It's going to happen to everybody.
But you see the injuries,
the play has started to decline a little,
and the injuries have started to mount.
And when you're making that kind of money,
it doesn't add up.
So I'm not surprised that this was the outcome.
Kevin says,
any chance Los Angeles gets a bonus on marketing in the offseason?
And I'll bet a ball of shade my calves go further since Ocho won't come off that.
I don't see him getting marketing because he's a max player.
It's a bonus. I don't see that
either.
Luka really wants a lob threat.
He wants somebody that
when he goes down, he can throw it up like
he could to Lively.
Like he could to Daniel Gafford.
That's why they kind of really wanted Mark Williams
before he flunked the physical,
that was the guy when Luka gets down there
and you think he'd go and he'd throw it
and boom. That's really what they
need. They got plenty of scoring
with LeBron
and Luka and AR.
But no, I
don't think there's a chance they get some bonus or mark
in it. People didn't think there was a chance
they could end up with Luka. Really don't put anything past the L they get some bonus of marketing. People didn't think there was a chance they could end up with Luka.
Really don't put anything past the Lakers at this point
in time.
Isaiah Lancaster,
what's good, Uncle Ocho?
Are your
five greatest Lakers, and what's
picking Ricky, who are your five greatest
Lakers, and what's
Ricky Pearsall's ceiling, you guys
think? Greatest Lakers, Magic, Ricky Pearsall's ceiling you guys think? Greatest
Lakers.
Magic, Kareem, Kobe.
That's hard one.
Shaq and Jerry West.
Jerry West.
You leaving Willed off, huh?
Damn. Paul Will, Elgin Baylor,
James Worthy.
Sorry. LeBron.
AC Green. Nah.
AC ain't in that category.
Yeah. Kareem,
Kobe, Magic are the easy choices.
Then it gets hard. I think you have to put
Shaq up there. Three championships,
three finals MVPs, an MVP.
Yeah, I'll go Jerry.
I'll go Jerry West.
The only man to win finals MVP on a losing effort.
Kemper Norwood Jr. said, oh, my question is,
who is the GOAT when it comes to race car driving?
For me, it's Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Probably the king, Richard Petty.
Richard Petty.
200 victories, seven Daytona 500s.
You can make a case for Dale Earnhardt Sr.
He has seven Winston Cup titles, not as many.
Cut short, obviously, that tragic accident that claimed his life at Daytona.
I like Cale Yarborough.
Who else do you think?
Oh, Jimmy Johnson.
You can put Jimmy Johnson in it.
The lowest 48 car.
Darryl Waltrip definitely needs to be mentioned.
Buddy Baker.
Bobby Allison.
But for me, it's probably the King Richard Petty.
But I definitely think you could make a case for Jimmy Johnson.
I definitely think you could make a case for Dale Earnhardt
Jr. Not Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Dale Earnhardt Sr.
Jeff Gordon.
Yeah. I think
those for me
the Silver Fox
Sterling
again Austin Bill from Dawsonville. I don't think those guys won enough. De Silva, Fox, Sterling, again,
Austin Bill from Dawsonville.
I don't think those guys won enough.
Fireball Roberts.
Nah.
That's my list.
All right, here in DK,
one side of Seattle hurts,
but why does he feel like
this always going to be a case with him?
It's okay that we got a dog and Gino and JSN.
Guys want their money, man.
Yeah.
That's it.
That's all they come down to.
And if they can't get it, they ain't go wherever they got to to get it.
Yeah.
Somebody's going to pay them.
FrankTank921, Ochocho I love your style
When you step out
What are your top three clothing stores
On a budget
Oh that's easy
Target
You can really throw
You can really throw something together
Target
H&M
Zara
Express Men
And probably Urban Outfitters
You know
My suits From Zara, Express men, I get them tailored.
And once you get them tailored to fit, it makes it look as if it's something expensive when it's really not.
Just, you know, once you get it tailored to fit your body, your style, that's pretty much it.
You know, every so it, you know?
Now, every so often, you know, this year,
I'm treating myself and I'm turning up a little bit in the fashion area.
So when this year is over, I'm right back to my old ways.
Rahan Nagash says, Hey, Uncle Nochocho what advice would you give someone battling addiction
well what kind of addiction you we need better context you need to be i need i need specifics
so i can tell you exactly what you need to do based on whatever the addiction is well
normally addiction is a chemical imbalance that you feel you got to have it. And the urge to have it is far greater than the urge you stand away from it.
Yeah.
I think, you know, people say, Shannon, you're addicted to work because it's hard for me to turn my mind off.
It's hard for me to sit still.
It's hard for me to go on vacation.
There's a reason I haven't taken one in 30 years.
I just can't rest my mind. It's hard for me to sleep peaceful at night because I'm constantly thinking about who am I going to interview next?
How do we make nightcap better?
How do I get better at first take?
How do,
who,
who is the guest that,
that my listening and viewing audience want to hear?
Right.
It's just,
it's just the con is,
is the constant of trying to get better and not being satisfied.
Um,
so I can just imagine,
um,
I'm very thankful.
I don't have an,
uh,
a dependency,
drugs,
alcohol,
gambling,
whatever the case may be. Um, it's hard. It's hard because a lot, drugs, alcohol, gambling, whatever the case may be.
It's hard.
It's hard because a lot of times we create this.
We create our demons and only we can chase them away.
Because in order for you to have a drug addiction,
you had to have tried it at some point in time.
Yeah.
You have a gambling addiction. You had to bet at some
point in time. So whatever the
shopping, whatever the case may be,
that's what the saying says. We create
those demons and we have to chase them away.
And it's hard.
I ain't gonna tell you because, you know, me trying
to just take one day off.
I'm still calling
even days that we don't work. I'm calling
CJ. Well, CJ,
what do you think about this?
Who are the bookers come up with?
What what's on the list?
They got a meeting tomorrow.
The book has got to come with 10,
10 list of guests that could potentially that we think would be good on club.
Shay.
Shay.
Right.
Um,
I'm calling ash.
Okay.
Ash,
what,
what, what,
what new segment?
What can we do?
How do we get better at what we do?
CJ, how can we get better?
You know, we added the musical performance to kind of make it like Arsenio Hall.
I really love what Arsenio Hall did.
So it's just for me, and I understand.
Maybe I am addicted to work because everybody tells me, say, that's your addiction, work.
That's what addiction, work.
That's what gets you excited.
Nothing gets you excited like work, like nightcap,
club, shea, shea, first take.
Nothing gets you that excited. Nothing gets you excited like that.
Well, I found what
I'm passionate. I found my passion.
That's what I'm passionate about.
This is what makes me jump
out of bed every day. Okay. This is what makes me jump out of bed every day.
Okay.
This is what makes me limp out of bed every day.
Did I freeze or did I freeze?
No, I'm right here.
Blast Assurance said, please wish my mom, Linda Miller, happy 75th birthday.
Happy 75th birthday, Linda.
Happy 75th.
Hopefully you did something fun.
You got taken out to a nice dinner.
I got some nice gifts.
Kids, grandkids.
But happy birthday, Linda.
Sir Kate, what's up, guys?
My question is, why does Shadur get so much bad rap he's doing as being himself?
We got to start something.
Every draft, every year, it's always one player.
It's always one player.
And the easy target this year, it just happens to be Shador.
And I told y'all this.
You didn't have a, you couldn't
find a flaw with his father.
So I'm going to take it out on his son.
Yeah.
What are they going to say?
I mean, so what was your argument with Deion?
He's just the greatest that played his position.
One of the top defensive players to ever play the game.
And he went on baseball field and he was good at that.
So damn, we didn't have nothing to say.
First ballot Hall of Famer.
Probably could have been a first ballot.
It could have been a Hall of Famer in baseball.
Had he devoted all of his time to that.
Yeah.
Well, couldn't pick on him.
Let's get his son.
I mean, it may seem like Shadua wasn't the only one
they didn't throw at the combine.
There are a lot of people that didn't do anything at the combine
but take the physical and do the interviews.
But who do we talk about?
Oh, Shiloh ain't getting invited to the combine.
Like, he's the only player that's ever gone to the NFL
that didn't get invited into the combine.
Right.
Every week, look, it's going to click.
He got the last name, Sanders.
Every time.
It comes with the territory.
And the funny thing about it, he's used to it.
He's been dealing with it since high school. He's been dealing with it since high school.
He's been dealing with it at Jackson State.
He dealt with it at Colorado.
Now he's dealing with it before the draft.
He's going to be fine.
And he's built for it because he's been dealing with it so long.
And he has the right person on his side.
That's all he knows.
To help him deal with it.
Madeline said, do you put sugar in your spaghetti?
Oh, spaghetti. No, hell no.
Not a spaghetti.
I'm trying to think when the last time I
had some damn spaghetti.
Hold on. Let me think.
Nah, I ain't had no spaghetti
in probably 10, 15 years. Maybe longer.
I don't eat spaghetti like that.
Right.
I'm trying to think.
Lasagna? Oh, I I'm trying to think lasagna
oh I think I might have
some lasagna on the plane
but spaghetti spaghetti I haven't had

Yeah.
We didn't get no ravioli.
Oh, so you just don't put your spaghetti on rice?
Nah, nah, we didn't do that.

Damn, we were really poor.
