Michael Penix Jr. gets his first win. It's only the second time a Falcons quarterback had led a team to a double-digit win in his first NFL start since Matt Ryan did it in 2008. Penix finished 18-27 for 2-0-2 and an interception that should have been caught. He hit Kyle Pitts right in his hand. Kyle Pitts threw it up in the air. So, hey, yes, it was against the 2-13 Giants, but hey, it is what it is.

It's the Giants. It's the Giants now. It's the start. It's the start. It's the start for the quarterback. A win like today, it builds confidence. It builds confidence. It's a good thing's a start it's a start it's a start for the quarterback a win like today it builds confidence it builds confidence it's a good thing

for the young fella I know people on the outside looking in oh you beat the Giants it's nothing to hoop and holler about but still it's a team win

it's a good start for brother Pinnock Jr. and his and his tenure as a as a Atlanta Falcons quarterback so wait wait

who they got next huh who they got next do they have a commander sunday night oh now now you got a test the falcons had two pick sixes jesse bates got one jesse betts third excuse me and edge rusher matthew judon it's the first time that the team has had two pick sixes in one game since 1983 all Oh, landed right in his lap, man. Yep. They ran the ball 38 times for buck 28. They tried to take a lot of pressure off of Michael Penis Jr. by running the football, but he made some great throws.

Kyle Penis got to make that catch. Yeah. It's really that simple, Ocho. Ain't no ill saying to bust about it. And that's the thing. It's funny how simple. Ocho ain't no Santa bus about it. And that's the thing. When you complain, it's funny how this work, Ocho. When you complain about the ball, the ball find you and then you drop it.

It happens every time. All the time. It does. I can sit here and be honest because it happened to me. It happened to me. I complained about the ball at halftime. I complained about the ball in the third quarter. And Carson just throw that motherfucker to me.

And guess what I do? Drop it. Throw it back at it. Because I'm not focused. I'm not locked in. Yeah. I'm not seeing the ball all the way in. Yeah.

I haven't touched it in a while. So I got somewhat of a little attitude about me. And the one time I complained about the ball and it does come, I drop it. And it happens every time. Every time. But in a situation like this, the game only gets bigger. You got a nice, you got a nice, you got

a nice victory under your belt against a team you were supposed to beat. You got an opportunity to relax. You got an opportunity to exhale. But now, you know, the commander's got something to play for yeah you have something to play for they want to get hey look they're already in the playoffs but they want to try hey hey we want to try to get a home game oh yeah falcons you have something to play for you have a lead you have a half game lead over the bucks in the nfc south when you're division

you get at least one home game at least one so i like this both teams have something to play for we're gonna find out a lot uh we've seen jayden daniel we haven't seen a whole lot of michael pendergast but we've seen a lot of jaydens, and he's been phenomenal the last couple of weeks. We're going to see if he can continue this streak. Oh, yeah. Boy, the Giants are good and terrible. Drew Locke, Lord, have mercy. Hey, listen. They look bad now, but I just want to chat.

Y'all remember one thing. Remember I said it first. This is breaking news. It's what you're going to hear next year on every broadcast around the world. Sanders, the neighbors for six. I'm going to leave it at that. I'm going to leave it at that.

Sanders, the neighbors for six. The Raiders beat the Jags 1914. Antonio Pierce asked about potentially losing out on the number one overall pick. Talk to Tom Telesco, general manager, for the franchise getting a quarterback for the future of the top priority. With a win, they fell from number two to number six. Antonio Pierce tried to save his job. He's like, hey, what I care about what y'all try to do.

Right. It's just like Lovey. You remember Lovey? Went 10-6 with the Bears. Went 10-6 with the Bears. No, no, no. He was with Houston Texans. Uh-huh.

The best thing, he saved them. Because had he lost, had he lost, they would have got the number one pick. Oh. But because he won that game would have got the number one pick. But because he won that game, they got the number two pick. He let Carolina. Now, a lot of people in Carolina wanted them to take C.J. Stroud. David Temper liked Bryce Young. Well, when the owner likes something, guess what you're going to have?

What the owner likes. Yes, sir. But so AP said, that ain't got nothing to do with me i'm trying to win a game i'm trying to show you that this team hasn't given up on me i'm trying to show you we're still fighting we're still playing hard and i believe i'm the best guy for the coach for the job brock bowers had 11 catches for 99 yards on 13 targets uh moved to number two all time he's only the third tight end in nfl history to have a thousand receiving yards in his rookie season joining mike dicker who i did who did it i think in 65 and kyle pitts who did it uh a few years ago in 21 i think that's live um but yeah it's a situation where ap like bro we're

gonna play hard hey f that i got hey why am i hold on why am i gonna try to leave somebody in a situation they can get a quarterback and be good hell no no. If I'm going to lose, I'm going to try to be bad just like it was when I got it. I ain't going to help nobody do nothing. It's like when you go on a job, they're going to fire you until you're age. You're going to trade. Trade who?

You think his job is safe? What do you think? No, I don't think that. No? I don't. Damn no i don't think that no i don't damn i don't like that i don't like that so as as a coach i understand okay yeah yeah i'm trying to win as a matter of fact i'm gonna try to win these last two games to make sure y'all try to get y'all out the top 10 to be honest with you why are you booing javid i'm trying to get down to top 10 because i'm not going to make this bed better for you somebody else to come sleep in it right and i'm gone yeah

oh no all right though joe the rams defeated the jets 19 to 99. Garrett Wilson seems like he's done in New York. Wilson was asked why he wasn't more involved until late in the game. I would love to be more involved. I would love to make an impact on the game, but if people see it differently, that's out of my control. Just try to do what I can do. Aaron Rodgers on the Jets. You got to figure out what it means to be a professional.

That's the most important part of building a culture. The last two weeks, we can really see who's on board moving forward and who's ready to get out. I saw that in the beginning when whoever showed up for mandatory minicamp. That let me know who's really on board and who was ready to get out.

Yes, sir. I want to know, hold on, if you don't mind me asking, Ocho, who fumbled that ball at the end of the game to make sure that the Rams would... That was Mr. Rogers, please, sir. Yeah, that was him. That was him. I understand Gary Wilson's frustrations, honestly.

You know, as a young player, a young player that had a stellar rookie season and things haven't been the same, understanding your potential, understanding what you can do understanding wanting to contribute because the team is playing bad and you still not getting the opportunities that i that you feel you deserve you know i i get it i get it i i hope they they free him free garrett wilson allow him to go somewhere else where he can flourish and he can be used to his full potential with great understanding on what he can do. You know, I mean, he's good.

He's good. And he's not being showcased in that way. Well, it's going to be hard because Devontae Adams has a relationship, a football relationship, the personal relationship aside, but he has a football relationship. The personal relationship aside, but he has a football relationship. They see things very, very similar because they got six,

seven years of history in Green Bay. This is the offense. So there is no makeup. There is no catch up for those two. And so Garrett Wilson is looking at like, hold on, 13 targets. I got seven. Last week he had 15, 16 targets. I got this got this many he's like i see where this is going as long as he's here i'm gonna be second and i'm a number one i'm nobody's number two i'm just look that he didn't tell i don't know garrett wilson

i'm just telling his mindset and how he thinks right and i'm telling you from a guy that's one offensive rookie of the year and year with lesser tier quarterbacks he's like well what y'all want me to do because y'all think it is me I'm telling you y'all think it's me I know what you're saying because man look at the connection he has with Devontae yeah he has

a connection with Devontae because he's played with Devontae for seven years in the same offense so they're on the same wavelength but it bothers me you gotta figure out what it means to be played with Devontae for seven years in the same offense. So they know they're on the same wavelength, but it bothers me. You got to figure out what it means to be professional. Is that before the season or during the season or after the season? Okay.

That's the important part of building culture. I thought the best part of building culture is C.O. Cho. A lot of people can talk. There are only a few people can speak. Aaron Rodgers talks. He don't speak. And that's the problem.

Yeah. Because the thing is with the great leaders, the one thing as a leader you can never ask more than you're willing to give. Yeah. You can't ask somebody

to do something that you're not willing to do. See, Tom Brady couldn't ask people to be in minicamp and be in mandatory minicamps and be in OTAs if he wasn't showing his ass up there. Peyton Manning couldn't do that. Ray Lewis couldn't do that. You can't do

what you're not willing to do, but you ask others to do. So you do as I say, don't do as I do. So now all of a sudden, you're 4-11. Last year you were 7-9. Now you want to see what it's like to be professional. Professionalism doesn't

start during the game. It starts long before the game is even played. Aaron Rodgers hadn't been professional in a very long time. That's factual. There's a reason why he's not no longer in Green Bay. there's a reason why he's not low long in Green Bay

there's a reason why they drafted a quarterback with the and traded up to get him that's not an accident yeah he knows that no he doesn't

it's somebody else's fault it's always somebody else's fault yeah yeah yeah he never takes accountability but and he never will because the moment the moment that you try to place the moment you try to hold him accountable right he'll make it who are you to talk to me because a lot of times he's not the only one he's not not the first. Sometimes when you're great, you feel you're beyond reproach. So unless somebody else. So if that's the case, players like, unless you're Peyton Manning, how can you critique me?

Unless you're Joe Montana, unless you're one of the historically great players, how do you get to critique me because I'm so accomplished? Right. I'm not critiquing your accomplishments. I'm critiquing your play currently. And you see a lot of times, Ocho, when you talk about a historically great player and people and their support staff thinks you're trying to discredit what they've done. Right. You did everything that you've accomplished. What we're talking about right now.

Right. Because what you accomplished. So let me ask you this. What are those four MP MVPs? What have they done for the jets this year? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

He did. And the man, he already told you, he told you that he felt his resume is such. So great. He shouldn't have to audition for a job next year on the jet. That's what he told you. When everybody else always has to audition,

you're playing for your job. Now, had he had one of those seasons like he has in Green Bay, who are we to argue? Aaron hasn't played well this year, and it's okay to say that. Everything

aside, just stick to football. Let's just stick to on the field. Any Jet fan, any of the diehard and the staunchest support of Aaron Rodgers, do you believe Aaron Rodgers has played good football this year?

It's a simple yes or a simple no. I don't think they would disagree with you, huh? They ain't going to disagree with you. The proof is in the pudding. The record is in the pudding. The things he's saying, you know, on the Pat McAfee show. And putting the blame on everybody else.

Again, today. Saying things that he doesn't even do himself same story different book yeah and look and everybody knows I was I was the player on the field

I was been his biggest supporter go back and check the tape but I've also said I was also the one that said he's very arrogant. He's smug. He's condescending. He's flippant. He's arrogant. I've said all those.

This is not nothing new. Go back and check the tapes at CBS. I said it 14 years, 15 years ago. This is nothing new. But that stuff, stuff see you can be all those things when you're playing at an MVP level then

when you're not just acknowledge it Tom if Tom Tom realized his last year in Tampa Tom didn't play, Tom realized his last year in Tampa, Tom didn't play great. Tom had won seven Super Bowls. He had been a multiple-time MVP. He'd been a five-time Super Bowl MVP.

But his last year in Tampa, Tom did not play well. It was okay to say that. Peyton, his last year in Denver, Peyton didn't play well. Peyton didn't play well in the Super Bowl they won, but go back and check the tape that doesn't take away from the five times that he won the MVP

that doesn't take away from what he had done he had thrown for more yards, he had more passes, more touchdowns, more yards, more comfort behind, whatever else he had he did that. But it's okay to say when a guy doesn't play well, he didn't play well. We've got to stop this notion because we like somebody and they say, well, he didn't play well.

He didn't. He didn't. And it's okay. Right. But it's going to be very interesting. The Jets got some very tough decisions because they thought, now you go back and look at it, now the defense gave up 19 points.

That's not a ton of points. But this is not the same defense that Robert Sala was in charge of. You fired your head coach, who's your DC. You demoted your OC. And for what? Two more wins?

How many wins did they have when they fired Robert Sala? They had two. They were two and three when they fired they won two more games you fired your head coach and you demoted the offensive coordinator nothing else has really changed

nothing he's just not the same player nah nothing he he's just not the same player nah can he spin the ball occasionally oh yeah that reminds you of what he once was absolutely absolutely hell yeah

but he's not he's not that consistent this was the Jets six loss despite holding a fourth-quarter lead, which is league high. The Jets opened with a 99-yard touchdown drive. They didn't punt once and still managed

only nine points. Let that sink in, Ocho. The Jets did not punt the football. They scored this many points. But go ahead. I'm going to see y'all blame the defense. Because the defense ain't doing what they're supposed to.

The defense. How you not punt the ball once, Ocho? Not one punt? That's got to be a record or something. What's the record for the fewest amount of points, the fewest points ever scored in a game in which a team didn't play? Damn.

Hey, you know what's funny? What's up? When we think about it, we argue about it, we go back and forth about Aaron Rodgers. He's still going to be the quarterback next year. You know why? Because you think about the landscape of quarterbacks, you think about what's available in the draft,

you think about what's available in free agency, and you understand the difficulties and what it takes to compete, I mean, as a team in general, and you know you can't do it without a quarterback, even though the record is what it is this year for whatever it may be. Do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten. Yeah, and they've been getting that for the past 50, 60 years

because they haven't been able to find a quarterback to be able to be consistent enough. And they still haven't, honestly, because you have someone that shows flashes of greatness, flashes of brilliance in what he used to be. And you're holding on and hoping he can muster up just enough, you know, offensively for you to get, you know, a glimpse of what you saw when he was with Green Bay. And they're going to hold on to that. And he's going to hold them hostage in prison to the fact that, look at my resume.

This is what I've done in the past. And there's a chance if, by God means, if I buy in like I should, there's a chance I could look like that again i just look he was he was my favorite quarterback to watch man the way he could just spin the ball and i i was in the league like i said oh i was in the league with danny and i thought danny was one of the most gifted throwers of the football i'm talking talking about, man, he could just flat-out spin it. Warren Moon could flat-out spin the ball. Seven, my quarterback could spin it.

I played, you know, I caught the tail end of Joe, Joe Montana. Joe wasn't what he was in the 80s, but I saw him have flashes. Right. I saw him still on the sideline, and I watched Aaron Rodgers in the Superbowl against the, against the Steelers. He threw the ball as beautiful as well as anybody I had ever seen with my own two eyes.

Yeah. I'm talking about you. And I was convinced that day. I said, I remember going back and said, I've never ever seen somebody throw the football like this man. And I'm talking about, and I stood on the sideline and watched Marino.

I watched Montana. I watched Moon. I was on the field with John. I'm talking about great play. Peyton, Brady. I played against all of them. With my two eyes, I've never seen a guy throw the ball better than Aaron Rodgers. Yeah.

I'm not ashamed to say that. Boy, I'm talking about arm angles, rolling left, rolling right. I'm talking about with a flick of the wrist. Yeah. And the ball just springs out of his hand. He's just not that anymore. Yeah. And it's okay.

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. The Dolphins defeated the 49ers 29-17. The Niners are eliminated

from playoff contention. Dolphins fans pay for a plane to fly over the stadium telling GM Stephen Ross to fire GM Chris Greer. Mr. Ross, this is Greer's fault. Please fix it. So I guess that's the new thing. The higher

plane to fly over the stadium would have saved, you know, because the Giants did that. It only works if you have an open air stadium. if your team sucks then you got a dome ain't nobody gonna see it can't nobody see that uh what'd you think ocho i mean listen we we we had all season and i'm saying we because i'm from miami for those of you in the chat they're gonna say oh you play for the bangles i'm from miami i'm from liberty city from dade county i was born at jackson memorial Hospital, January 1968 at 3.08 a.m.

OK, so I have a love for my Dolphins, been watching them since the Mark brothers, since Dan Marino. Tua went down. Tua going down with a concussion and missing four or five games. I don't remember exactly how many it was. It threw everything off. It threw the rhythm, threw the rhythm of the team, the offense, the chemistry, just,

it threw everything off. So, you know, this season, it, it, it, it,

it went to shit. It went to shit. Now, if we can get to, I mean, when Tua comes back next year is as he's finding his rhythm once again at the team next year, i think we'll be fine if we just have yeah what's to his history was to a hurt in college yeah has to have been

hurt substantially a lot of times in the nfl unfortunately yes okay that's his mo okay if you if you he limped into the league remember his hip you remember that right yeah yeah at alabama yeah okay yeah that concussions injuries has been a part of tours history right but that's why i just said if we if we could find a way i don't know how i don't know if we can wait to keep him upright for a 17 week season they're gonna be all right because last year you see what he looked like where Where he was healthy most of the season? Did you see what that offense looked like last year? Yes. Did you see the numbers

he put up? Did you see the numbers? And then he went to the cold weather and looked like me playing quarterback. You ain't had to bring that up, though. I'm just saying, Ochoa, at some point in time, the Dolphins and him are going to have to

get over that. Right. Oh, the cold at some point in time, the Dolphins and him are going to have to get over that. Right. Oh, the cold weather game. Yes. The fact, the history, historically, anytime the Dolphins make it into the playoffs and have to play in cold weather, they all look the same every time. I don't know what it is about that. I don't know why it's always happened like that. But something is going to have to change.

I'm not sure when they're going to get over that hump, but they got to get over it. It's just hard for me to have confidence Ocho that he's going to stay healthy consistently, considering he got, you remember, he had ankle injuries in college. He had that tight rope surgery.

We don't know that's true that he had some other surgeries that didn't get reported. He had a hip, dislocated his hip. He had that taken care of. He had a concussions issue. So the likelihood of him being healthy for a substantial

period of time, it just doesn't bode well for the Dolphins because we haven't seen him stay healthy for a substantial period of time earl thomas ocho sad story earl thomas's strange wife allegedly defrauded him out of millions nearly three million dollars worth of money and property according to court documents obtained by tntmz nina thomas began Thomas began taking money from Earl after she filed for divorce from him in 2020. With the assistance of a co-conspirator, she transferred assets out of the bank account and into her own account.

Hmm. He's going to get that back, right? You know, I got it. I mean, the report says she bought boobs she bought birkin bags she bought some other stuff oh so you know when you're frauded what's the likelihood of you getting that amount back you get pity you get cents on the dollar if somebody takes a hundred dollars you get 30 cents you if you get 40 oh oh, Lord, thank you, I got 40 cents. More times than not, you get 10, 20 cents on the dollar.

That hurt, boy. That's someone you love. That's someone you walk down the aisle with. That's someone that's supposed to be your best friend. That's someone that you trust. That's someone that you can find. You remember now, there was a report that she caught him with another woman with a firearm on him

what did that get down boy hey you talking to somebody that know what it's like to have that stick to your head hey you know what I'm saying Ocho but you know I'm I can't let her know I'm scared Lord have mercy she got this thing on me

yeah yeah yeah like I was thinking that if I had saw those movies, like, you know, I'd, you know, snatch it from her right quick. You know, yeah, yeah. Like Jackie Chan. Like Jackie Chan in Rush Hour.

You know, I didn't have the gun pointed on him. And he shot her. Or remember, remember in... Remember in... Was it Blow? No, it wasn't Blow. No, it wasn't Blow.

late and he woke him up and had the six-shooter at his head? Like, I'm sick of you doing me like this. And he got mad. He flipped it on him. I gotta go. I gotta deal with all this craziness outside.

I gotta come home. Lord, outside. I gotta finish it. Lord, man. I mean, Ocho, people hurt you more. Now, look, people crash out about their money, man. Hey, man, listen. People love to save money.

My thing is, Ocho, I think if I read this correct, she started this after she called him and they were like reconciling to get back together. Oh, so she was trying to... Okay, wait a minute. Hold on now.

Okay. I think I read that correct. Look at that. Because I think she called him and they like reconciled. Right. So her true intentions weren't really to reconcile she

came back and wanted to get back together with ulterior motives yes ah there's always a plan there's always I hate that man I hate that Earl like I said I don't know Earl I do he good dude good dude

man good dude. Good dude, man. Good dude, man. Good dude. I mean, go to jail. So that means he had to file that paperwork. He had to put that paper on him. So she got to go to jail for that?

They, what you call them? They file charges. So we'll see where it goes. The likelihood of her having what she took not very good. Well, you can just take the assets based on what she's purchased.

What you gonna do with them titties? What you gonna do with those breasts? You can take them back. You go back to the doctor, tell the doctor, give me them breasts that she put in and put them bitches in the freezer for your next chick. No. He don't want them. And a Birkin bag.

I need that. I need that back. Hey, hey. I need that back. I got some. You know what? Let me get that. If it ain't, I'll take anything under 35. Oh, shoot. I'll take anything under 35. Oh, shoot. I'll take anything under 35.

Yeah, man, people don't, y'all don't do that. Y'all don't do that. If y'all, look, if y'all don't, if you don't want Elcho, if you don't want me, just leave me be.

Say, Shannon, I don't want to be here no more. I'll break, hey, I'll break, hey, I'll break, I'll give you something to get on about your business. Don't take from me.

Yeah, but you gotta understand, come on now, we gotta be realistic. You have to understand, when you got to understand. Come on now. We got to be realistic. You have to understand when you've been with someone that long, the chance that you run into somebody that has that kind of money and then going to pour into you like that

is slim to none. You're not getting yourself into a, excuse me, another situation like that. I mean, that's reality. And thinking you are just going to run into another millionaire who wants to want to marry you and you have access to that kind of money and those type of funds, that that's that's reality and thinking you are just going to run into another millionaire who wants to want to marry you and you have access to that that kind of money and those type of funds

in that type of uh financial stability you know having that type of financial stability you're not that's why that's why you understand that and you have to take i mean i just can't do and women and the women that think uh they think they're a little delusional, that think because they look a certain way or I'm fine as hell, I'm going to always have a rich dude. Yeah, you're going to always have a rich dude. Yes.

Yes, because it's easy. You get crumbs to make sure you always come back, but it's never enough. It's never a substantial amount to where you're set. It will never ever be that. But it's always just enough to make sure you keep coming back.

Boy, $3 million is a lot of bread, man. Yeah. What? Well, actually, that's $6 million. Because if you know you got $3 million, you pay taxes on $6 million. Exactly. So whenever you see somebody,

whatever somebody got, oh, they had to spend, they had to accumulate X they had to accumulate X to get the Y. Man, I just hate that. I hate that for, like I said, I don't know, Earl. I advise anybody,

not just professional athletes, anybody, because y'all guys know, y'all know how I feel. I hate any mofo that pray on the weak. And I don't care if it's man, woman, i don't i don't like that i detest it i despise it i was not i i've never been raised like that my grandmother my grandfather

they made sure hey i i just can't i can't in good conscience i can't forget you know and lord it's not my job to judge it's not and lord boy, it's hard as hell for me to forgive somebody that's taking advantage of the weak in any situation. I hate it. I hate it. Especially you take somebody's hard-earned money. That man put his life on the line for years. And you take?

Nah, man, I can't get down like that. But guys, y'all say he should have had a prenup. nah man I can't get down like that but guys y'all say he should have had a prenup even if he had a prenup if you take something without somebody's knowledge what good is a prenup gonna do a prenup protects your assets if she's embezzling them

a prenup ain't got anything to do with that Lord have mercy I just hope he can recover some of the assets and just move on with his life because I think they got kids together don't they have kids I think they got a couple of kids together yeah I mean they were married

I'm sure they do they were married for were married. I'm sure they do. They were married for quite some time. I'm sure they do have kids. Are they divorced now or are they still together? Oh, hell no. What happened? They're not even divorced. They're estranged.

Estranged? Living apart. Oh, so the divorce is the final. I don't even... Ocho, it's speculative for us to say the divorce was even in place. Right. Well, maybe they might get back together. But shit.

Boy, you steal $3 million from me, get back to what? Man. Man. Ain't no getting back I don't know about y'all ain't no coming back from that not no three mil I'd just rather give it to you

than you take it from me give what? I'm just saying that amount that amount. Even hypothetically speaking, that amount, that's reserved for my family. But I'm saying, look, like I said,

I mean, what have I got when it comes to my family, my immediate family, what we got? And I always talk, when I talk to my brother, I say, bro, we got this, or we doing this, or my sister's saying things. But no, don't take from me, man. Don't take.

On pasta. You know what? I think you can. When I think about pasta, I think about there are different strands of pasta. Yeah. And I have no problem. I will have no problem. Like pasta, chicken and shrimp,

you know, pasta with steak. Steak chopped up. Yeah, I think that does go well, if I'm not mistaken. No. Chicken, angel hair pasta, you know. Right. Not no steak.

I guess people do. I've seen shrimp, you know. Right. Not no steak. I guess people do. I've seen shrimp, you know. But the most part, like. Right. I don't know. Every time we go out, I know somebody be wanting to order. I don't think steak is wrong. No, you order.

You try to order. Oh, I forgot. I can't order shellfish. But I think it's doable, though. I think it's doable. You heard me But I think it's doable, though. I think it's doable. You heard me? I think it's doable. When you think about pasta.

You look at steak. I mean, pasta is already a heavy dish. You need something light to go on top of it. You need chicken. You need maybe a shellfish, maybe like a shrimp or something like that. Lobster. You don't need something heavy on heavy. No, you're thinking of

a whole steak. I'm talking about having the steak chopped up. No, I understand what you said. They ain't putting no whole chicken on no pasta either. They ain't putting no whole lobster tail on top of pasta. Right. I think it's doable. That's a good meal. It's a heavy

meal. That's a good meal. It's a heavy meal. That's a good meal. Yeah, I mean, yeah, but it's still heavy because first of all, Alfredo is already heavy. That Alfredo sauce. Oh, yeah. You got pasta

that's already heavy and then you got steak on top of it. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Hell, I'm sleeping halfway through the meal. I like that.

I like that. I like that. See, eating heavy like that, that's what I've been eating on. That's why I've been able to gain the size I've gained in such a short amount of time. Because I'm eating my carbs, my pastas, my noodles, bread. I've got my carbs up. I mean, I'm not a pasta eater. I mean, maybe a couple of times in the last five, six, seven years, I don't eat pasta like that. I mean, I like it, I just don't eat it. I'm saying, we on the topic of pasta.

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 all I've found.

game, and that might be that might be or is it two games that Saturday? We know who's going to win the game, though. It's three games that Saturday. Where they fall at? In the middle? What's the first game?

We know who's going to win the game, though. Oh, Chargers, Patriots. Hold on. And then the Ravens. The Ravens-Texans is the last game, right? Oh, Cardinals-Rams. Oh. All right.

Let's go go Broncos. Go well. Go home. Brian here say, what's up, El Ganocho? Go Lions. Shout out to the commanders. We need the Lions to win the Vikings that lost to clinch the first and division. If we both win, are you guys rocking with week 18 at Detroit?

Going to be exciting week 18. If it comes down to it, who you got? You taking Detroit at home or you taking Minnesota on the road? I'm taking Minnesota on the road. Too many injuries on defense. It'd be another game

like against the Bills. It's going to be a shootout. Yep, it'd be another shootout. Sarah P. said, in honor of my Lions, what are you guys' favorite three Barry Sanders moments

and three Megatron moments? Barry versus Emin on Thanksgiving, Megatron 329 versus Triple Coverage. You got to make the list. Man, pick any game from Barry. Barry because Barry really never had any

games where he didn't have a highlight. Barry's career was a highlight. When have you ever seen Barry they just toss Barry the ball and he run the ball into the end zone Barry done shook three people to get the ball into the end on a two yard run

on a 20 yard run he done shook damn it all go back and look at that run he had against Tampa one year man he shook D Brooks by four times and John Lynch. Emperor Rogers say, I pray the Eagles win the Super Bowl and HBO do hard knocks on the Cowboys in the offseason.

Nah, we don't see enough of the Cowboys. Man, the Cowboys not interesting. Because Jerry hauled the camera. You don't get to see the guy's personality, and I think they was just on there. They was just on there a couple of years ago with Micah and Zeke and Dak. Nah, go somewhere else, man. Doc Morrison, did you play in the 1992 game? I did play Berlin Broncos versus the Dolphins.

I absolutely played in that game in Berlin. Wasn't a whole lot to do in Berlin. I think I went to the zoo like five or six times.

Had a big-ass silver back in there. We think I went to the zoo like five or six times. They had a big-ass silver back in there. We just go watch him. But it wasn't nothing to do in Berlin. I mean, you know, they gave you specifics. You can't be doing that salute. You can't do that. They will take you to jail, and they will

throw away the key. I love that about other countries. I love that they don't i love that they don't play like certain things they don't tolerate i love it at all you know be going to uh barcelona i've been to germany you know german uh japan australia i love the fact that be respectful of that country don't be coming over here with that bull jive. Edwin Gray said, what's up, Uncle Nocho? I plan on proposing to my girl next month. Just asking

It's supposed to be a surprise. Hey, you're not supposed to know this, but Edwin's going to pop the question.

Yeah, whatever your name is. Yeah. Make sure you say yeah, too. You don't know, but she probably doesn't watch. But if you watch and pretend you don't hear, that's what's going to happen. Mark said, just found out. Hold on.

Wow. Lord have mercy. What happened? I just. found out hold on wow lord have mercy what happened mar said just found out my girlfriends of four years been sleeping with a co-worker of the job i helped her get any advice i'm hurt i lost confidence trying to pick myself back up. Damn. Boy, listen, man. Play some Lady Williams. No, don't play no Lady Williams. Play some Lady Williams, boy.

You hear me? No, don't play no Lady Williams. Let the tears fall as they may. Don't hold back. Because I've been on... Hey, listen. Listen to me, young boy. I'm talking to you from experience. I done been on both sides of the spectrum.

You hear me? Okay? You know, I used to be the one with the co-worker. Nice to be on the other end of somebody with my, you know, I done been there. You know, back in my day, I done been there. I know how it feel. So, you got to think from experience. Huh?

You hear me, young fella? The only thing is, look here, karma. You just sometimes, look. It's okay to cry. Don't tell me no. Why the cage bursting? Four years. Girlfriend of four years sleeping with a co-worker.

Oh, why would you do me like this, baby? He helped her get the job. Oh. And the way she thanked you, young fella, by backing it up for him. What? Back though. Damn, I bet. Hey, I'm hurting for you, baby. I'm hurting for you baby i'm hurting for you i know you feel

bro all i can tell you bro just take it one step at a time one day at a time bro and uh look i ain't gonna look and people are all back i love how people it's only people that's never been in a relationship because if you can just move on from a relationship, you weren't that invested. So, okay, if you're not that invested, it's easy to move on. If you're not that invested in anything, it's easy to move on.

But put some time in it. Put some energy in it. Put some effort in it. If you didn't care about that person, you probably should have moved on a long time ago. But if you put time with something, if you spend time with someone and you care about that

person, and if that person doesn't want to be with you, that's easy. If you're the one that wants to break up, it's very easy. But when it's the shoes on the other foot boy that thing hurt boy that thing boy love is funny

love is worse than death love is the only thing that keeps you alive but you feel like you dead come on that's what love that's what love do when you love something, when you invested in it,

man, please. When, when you like, it's like you hear people say, man, I lost my mom. You look,

because that's really the only unconditional love that you have is from a parent. And you lose that. But when you love someone, you love your partner, man, love you love your partner man love a woman woman love a man and that man or that woman breaks your heart and they want to leave and they won't man please right yeah you got to understand you know love comes with conditions it comes with i'm It comes with conditions.

I'm going to love you based on... On the condition that you don't hurt me, that you don't cheat on me, you provide for me. Yeah, all that stuff. And anytime those conditions change, you know, well, you damn near, you have to be perfect. You damn near have to be perfect. Whoever you met, whoever they fell in love with, you have to remain that same person the rest of your tenure, the rest of your life. At any time that what they fell in love with happened to change,

then things start to... Only family for me, only family. Your mom, your sister, because you can do the most egregious act. My sister gonna say, my brother wrong, but I still love him. My brother gonna say, my brother dead wrong, but I love him.

My mom said that's my baby. Wrong. Everybody else will jettison you, disregard you. But that's tough, bro. I feel for you. Now, I don't know if you actually knew the co-worker, but that would make it even worse. It wouldn't matter whether you know the co-worker or not. Just the fact that... It wouldn't matter.

I'm not saying no. I'm saying like you cool. You know what I'm saying? We done gone out. We go to the movie together. We go to the game together. I done been to your house. You done been to my house. Right. And come to find out you done been to my house when I wasn't at my house.

So I'm pushing the year off strong, man. I'm happy. My 2024 was really good. I can be honest. Outside of that one little mishap a month ago, outside of that, it's been a great year. Phenomenal. Look, it's been a blessing. God has been truly, truly, truly been good to me and my family.

It's been better than I could even imagine. Even when I laid and I prayed and, um, after leaving, um, FS one, even as I prayed and hope it wasn't this good in my dream. It wasn't this, it wasn't this good that I prayed for. Uh, you know, sometime favor has favorites and, uh, all the good that came along with this and and and and some of the other stuff that came along with it you know hey i deal with deal with the had to deal with that bread farm lawsuit that was three quarters of a million dollars uh a lot of other stuff that that goes on that battles that i fight that don't nobody else know. But you know what? I wouldn't change a thing. God gave me these big shoulders for a reason.

I can carry a lot. Stand up. Don't make excuses and get the job done. I have a great team around me. I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel like I'm very insulated now. I have people around me that I trust,

that they're going to do what they're supposed to do, do their job. We're very close. We got no choice to be close because I spend more time with Jordan Ash. Hell, I'm about to adopt Jordan, put that on my income tax. I got to grow.

I got a young son. Hey, man, I ain't no, because people already ask you, is that your dad? So, but you know what, Ocho? It takes all of that. You can't, I mean, everybody just want all the good

and they don't want anybody to come along with it. But you got to, it's got to be both. I mean, if it's sunshine, eventually it's going to rain. If it's it's rain the sun's gonna eventually come out and i graciously accept that yeah i like that you just said that see it was raining right so for one it was sunshine you know it was sunshine and then you know it's it's my fault, the rain came because of me. Yeah.

You know. Yeah. Yeah. You know, players fuck up. You know, you know, you know, human error is inevitable. So. Yes. Bomb.

Fast forward. You know, I'm getting to work. See, I'm getting to work. You know, because I can take accountability. I'm not Aaron Rodgers. I'm not Aaron Rodgers. I'm not Aaron Rodgers. You got to accept accountability. You got to say, hey, look at me. I'm going to stand on my soapbox

and I'm going to sing with my boombox, you know, like in, what's the name of the movie with Spike Lee? Oh, Do the Right Thing? Yeah, Do the Right Thing. I'm going to have my boombox. I'm going to get to work. You hear me? I can get to work. I ain't got no problem with that. I ain't got no problem with that. I ain't got no problem with that.

Even when I had the mishap in September, Ocho? Yeah. Hey, what mishap, huh? What happened? You know what mishap I had? Hey, I don't remember. Tell me, tell me, huh? Don't worry about it.

Oh, you talking about, hey. Hey, you talking about, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, I ain't forgot, but you were getting it in but the people the people that supported shannon um was there um you know everybody had their opinions on what transpired and and people that wasn't in my corner wanted to see me go down i know there are a lot of people hoping that espn uh let me go and whatever, you know, and sponsors and advertisers, but you know what? People that know Shannon, they stood

ten toes down. Yeah. And we're going to be back even bigger and better. We were able to hire more people to get more things done. And I'm so, so happy that everything that transpired in 2024, Ocho,

I think that the learning experience is something that we can learn and grow from and be better in 25. So we thank you for that support. That's a good thing, though. Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy said, hey, guys, I hope all is well. When you guys were kids,

hit the floor and went into a thousand pieces. Oh. I'm very sentimental. I got clothes from when I was a kid. I got a pair of overalls. I got an old jacket that I took a picture in. It had to be like 71, 72. So I'm very sentimental.

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.

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 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. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see.

Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings

and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, 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. I remember Christmas. I used to look forward to it because, like, as the day progressed, all my cousins were going to come. My grandma had nine kids, and all of them were going to come over, and all my cousins were going to come over, and we were going to be in the yard. We were going to play basketball or play football,

and then we were going to watch the games that come on, man. Thanksgiving and Christmas, man, those were some great times. I hate that it ended. All that ended like once my, you know, obviously we went away. You know, I've grown and I'm off. And, you know, you're playing professional sports. You're not getting that together. And then once my grandmother passed, we don't get together like we once did.

Yeah. that together and then once my grandmother passed we don't get together like we once did yeah i listen ever ever ever since big mama passed away on holidays have never been the same no thanksgiving had never been the same you know going going to church consistently week in and week out whether you wanted to go or not it's never been the same having to sing the choir every sunday no matter what whether you wanted to or, it's never been the same. Having to sing in the choir every Sunday, no matter what, whether you wanted to or not, it ain't been the same. Christmas time, it's never been the same. Even though now I've already started my own tradition with my family. And then it just, it just, even, even with my kids and trying to do it the way my grandma did it, it's still not the same. It ain't the same. It ain't the same. It ain't the same. Because even when, you know, I was away and, you know,

obviously, you know, when you play in Ocho, you ain't coming home for no holidays. No. And so, you know, I just call home and all my uncles, you know, getting on the phone and you telling everybody hi, you know, and so forth and so on and asking when you coming back. You know, you miss that. You miss that.

And you take that for granted when you're a child because you think that it's always going to be like this. Like that, yeah. But it ain't. It's not. It's not. It's not. And yeah, you definitely miss that.

You miss that. And you don't realize it then because you just take for granted, don't you? Yeah. They were there every year. Because even after my grandfather passed, you know, still my grandmother. So, you know, until, you know, the big, big cousins. But for the most part, they would still come by at least until we got to, you know, even when I was in college. You know, I would come back for the holidays

and my cousins would come over. But those were the good old days, don't you? Those were the good old days. I'm talking about it was good, man. It was good. Just everybody meeting up at my auntie's house. Obviously, my grandma. My grandma had two sisters,

Mary and Aunt Vera. And when everybody was here before everybody passed away, I lived for them days, man. I lived for them days just knowing I'm finna see all my cousins and everybody finna be there

and the food is finna be on point. The food finna be on point every time. Damn. Trudy Lawrence said, Che and Ocho since it's so close to christmas what is the one

Hell no. You don't like fruitcake? Because I don't like red cherries. I don't like green cherries. No, hell no. I'm tripping. How you not going to like fruitcake?

Easy. And you know, I grew up about 15 miles from Claxton, which is the fruitcake capital of the world. They produce more fruitcakes than any other place

in the world. And my uncles work there, three of them. Man, you tripping, man. You bringing up fruitcake. We just talked about family and tradition not being the same. I haven't had fruitcake.

I can do without that tradition. Hey, because of that tradition, I ain't had fruitcake since them. Good. I ain't had fruitcake since Big Mama been gone. I ain't had it either, Ocho. Ain't nobody to cook it no more. It's probably been 30.

My grandma used to make my grandma used to make, have it in a pan this big, Ocho. Right. For everybody. Yeah. And then she would put wine on it to keep it moist. Cause bro, we eat fruitcake in February. My girl, my girl might have like a foot like a tub
