This episode of Nightcap is brought to you by Cologuard, 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 tests. The Cologuard tests allow 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 $0,

and a follow-up colonoscopy is needed after a positive Cologuard test. This is usually covered by insurance also. So if you're 45 years of older and at average risk, you can ask your health care 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 test 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. Cologuard is available by prescription only. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network.

not available in all areas. Paul George is taking a break from podcasting to focus on a championship. I want to let the podcast P family know that after today's episode with Dwight, I plan to take a break from the pod just to focus on getting my body right, getting mentally right, you know, help this squad make a push towards our goal to finish the season and give ourselves a chance to be in contention to complete, compete

for a championship. Or it goes you like that? Can I ask you a question? Yes. What's Philly's record again? A whole lot of losses to very few wins. So is there a chance,

honestly, realistically? They would have to go, remember I had said, in order to, they're like 20 games under.500. They need to win all,

they need to win out. God damn. Is that even possible no i mean the lakers won 33 games in a row the heat won 27 games in a row uh i mean maybe somebody's 120 but i think the rockets might have somebody yeah well i mean i i like i like I like the decision, you know, in a sense. But I also like Paul George having the platform to voice his opinion, to talk about the game, talk about any other things he wants to talk about when it comes to the aspect of his game. Regardless of him being hurt or hampered or injured right now,

people would want to hear from him. I think the pressure probably coming from inside the house. We're not playing well right now. You're not playing well as you should be. We're not winning. We think you should cut the podcast out.

Ocho, you know how it goes, man. Yeah, I do. I do. I do. Everything is magnified when you lose. Everything is magnified. We couldn't sit on our helmet. We lost the game because I'm sitting on my helmet in practice. That's why you think we lost? Yeah. Oh, my shoes untied. I didn't have my shoes tied when I walked on the field.

Man, you know everything. The locker room junkie. Man, ain't nobody picking up the towels. I mean, everything. But hey, junkie. Man, ain't nobody picking up their towels. I mean, everything. Right. But, hey, what do you do? You try anything. I mean, when you're losing, you'll try anything to get out of that losing streak.

Uh-huh. I mean, you dress a certain way, you win a game. Like, man, I'm going to wear the same outfit because that's what we did. Right. I wore the same suit. Oh, we went on the road in 97-0 in the playoffs? Yes, sir. Oh, we beat Kansas City?

Hey, y'all better not change that suit. We went to Pittsburgh. Beat Pittsburgh. Well, y'all better wear them same suits to the Super Bowl. The mind, Ocho. We done tricked. Hey, it was what we had on. Really?

Yeah. Superstition. Kansas City didn't know we wore the same outfit. Pittsburgh didn't know we wore the same outfit it's not a outfit Gary Vee did but I commend him he know he's catching flack bro you playing bad

and you got a podcast you need to be practicing you need to be getting ready you know how it is yeah yeah yeah absolutely that's what probably they're saying maybe management came to him and said bro you may ease up on the podcast a little bit. Yeah, you doing too much? Yeah.

I mean, everything can magnify when you lose it. It is. It is. Everything. I just like the fact that Paul George has a platform. He knows the game. He's still active playing the game and just being able to talk about it. People want to hear from him, whether you're losing or winning.

You know, he has a knowledge of it. But I kind of understand, you know, the backlash he's getting. I do, too. I do, too. And that comes along with the territory. When you win. Yeah. RIP to the chain game, Ocho.

NFL is installing electronic systems to measure first downs for the 2025 season. Talk about a memorable chain game moment from your playing days, Ocho. Oh, a memorable chain game moment. You know, that's a good one. That's a good one. When I think about it, I really haven't had any issues

as far as the chain game goes. Except running their ass over when they don't drop that chain. Yeah, most of the time when the chains came out, the measure, I'm going to the sideline to grab some water, you know,

but, um, I like the idea of the virtual assistance because human error has been wrong many times before, especially when it comes to spotting the ball. So I like the idea of doing it this way. Um, virtual assistance has been in soccer.

Some have say it's ruined soccer but i like the fact that they get it right every time they get it right every time so using this uh it eliminates being able to blame the refs for any errors at all so the calls will always be right and it seemed to be this was based on Buffalo not getting it. Oh. Because how many calls have we seen like this over the years? Yeah. Yeah.

That was clear. That was clear as day on. He was not over that line. He was not. The ball was tucked in his chest. Now, if he was able to extend the ball, which he couldn't do it because he was in the crowd. And he's in the field of play. Because if he gets knocked out, you don't get the same privilege as goal line.

The ball breaks. You're good. You do that in the regulation. And you don't get the same privilege as Goldline the ball breaks you good you do that in the regulation and you do that in the field of play and they knock that ball out and he likely got it knocked out before remember Ochoa and he jumped right on it he jumped right back on it so I look

if it's going to help put people's mind at ease but you know when people and fans don't find enough something else to be complaining about. Yeah. They need to do it for, they need to put it in for holding. They need to do it for this. They need to do it for that. Come on.

Yeah. You do realize that's human, human element is in this thing. The football game would take five hours if they had virtual assistants for every little thing. Ocho, many think that Ben Johnson, the former offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, took an unnecessary shot at Jerry Goff earlier. Let's take a listen to the sound. Out of structure, the off schedule, the creation, that's what stands out the most because that's really the way that this league's going right now it seems like um as much as you want to make it pure progression one to two

to three there's just too much variety the pass rush is coming down and to have an athlete like caleb extend the play and potentially find an explosive down the field that's what that's what gets me going a little bit. I get excited thinking about that because I haven't really been around that since I've been in the league. But I've been on the other side and I've experienced it. And it's demoralizing

when you're on the other side and you're watching that happen to your defense. That ain't no shot. Yeah, I don't think it's a shot. It's a true shot. Obviously, listen. No, you think it is? No, it's a shot it's a true shot obviously listen listen no i don't you think it is no it's the truth caleb williams can make off scripted plays oh yeah

absolutely absolutely there's a there's a handful of quarterbacks in the nfl that can do that and the fact that ben johnson's never been around a quarterback that can extend plays and play off script most of the time when things break down you go through progression one two three is not there most quarterbacks, that's a sack for Jerry Goff. Yes. You know, he's not a mobile quarterback. He's your prototypical

dropback quarterback. Go through his stuff. Check down if it's not there. Caleb Williams can extend plays and therefore make the play calling that much more better for Ben Johnson, who's already creative. Yes.

So he can be able to do that much more. Look how good golf was with Ben Johnson calling the plays. So imagine what he can do with Caleb Williams, with the creativity from that aspect. And if things don't work out, well, you know what? I ain't got the trip because I got Caleb Williams.

Who's the dual threat and can use his legs and extend plays for me and make something happen when there's nothing there. But that's the, And that's the thing. He was asked a question. He says he's looking forward to playing with a guy that can make plays off script. Right, nothing wrong with that. And he can.

That's what Caleb Williams can do. He can make plays off script. You know, basically, when you diagram the play, that's the play that's got to get run because that's not what Jared Goff feels, and that's okay. That's okay. That's okay. There's nothing wrong with that. They make it seem like,

well, damn. So, what are the differences? So, anybody that think he's taking a shot at Jared, if you watch

Jared Goff play and you watch Caleb Williams play, what do you think some of the differences are? Ability to make plays outside the pocket, his scrambling ability,

his ability to get off script ability to change arm angles arm slots okay I don't you know hey what's the difference between what's one of the main differences

between Saquon and Derrick Henry Saquon's a little Henry. Saquon's a little bit more shifty, a little bit more elusive. Wichita runs with a little bit more power. That's not taking a shot at either one of them. That's just factual. What's the difference between McCaffrey and this one?

Well, McCaffrey, you know, you can put him in the slot, you line him up outside, better catch the ball out of the backfield. A lot of times, they took Derrick Henry out. A lot of times, they took Saquon out on third down. Right. They don't take C-Mac out on third down. So that's not a knock.

Just because you're accentuating the differences, that don't mean you're hating or you're knocking the other guy. You're just accentuating the differences between two said players right i mean but you know how it is ocho man you hey now everybody feel like you're taking a shot at the man i don't think the man was taking a shot yeah listen a coach like that has to be able to explain the differences and when he experienced one place and what he's going to experience at a new place based on that specific position

without it being seen in disrespect. Yeah. Because it's the honest truth. Right. Ocho, he also said he would sacrifice both testicles for the Bears to win a Super Bowl. I already got three kids. What would you sacrifice?

Hey, first of all, if you get rid of it, you ain't going to get no wood. Yeah. Well, you can get some wood. You don't need a testicle to get no hoo-ha. So how are you going to put a popsicle stick up there and hold it like you got a splint? How are you going to get an erection? Oh, you take, you take, you know, you could take out, you could take out what allows you to have kids.

Do that. So, so, no, he said he had his testicles removed. He ain't said nothing about the vasectomy. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't know about that. I don't know about that because, yeah, I ain't doing that. Hey, I don't tell nobody.

Hey, hey, I got a kid. I'm keeping mine. He gave it to me for a reason. Yeah, yeah, he did. He didn't want me to have it, but he wouldn't have gave it to me. Hey, I got a kid. I'm keeping mine. He gave it to me for a reason. Yeah, yeah, he did. He didn't want me to have it, but he wouldn't have gave it to me. You're right. Listen, you're right about that. I'm with you when you're right.

Now, listen, I'm picking up what you're putting down. Speaking of kids, I want one more. What you think? Huh? I want one more. I don't know, Ocho. I ain't got no brain. Hey, well, damn.

I need to go back to ESPN because you're talking about another kid. They call money. I ain't got no brand like that. No, I'm just saying. But listen, I'm not trying to be funny. I've always been humble. I'm a very humble person. I'm very, very respectful.

I mean, just with the way things are going right now, man, listen, God has favor. You hear me? Yes. God has favor. And what he's doing for me right now, I think one more won't hurt. You know? I'm going to see how my kids feel about it.

And if they give me the green light, I'm going to go ahead and do that. Just get it out the way. No. Wait, you talking to me? Oh, totally no. Absolutely not. Joy, are you typing this?

Oh, no. That ain't happening. What happened? No, Ashley said it'd be something. I want to know too. Somebody text me. Why y'all don't ever be something. I want to know, too. Somebody text me. Why y'all don't ever text me? I want to be part, too.

It's a two-man show. You got your producer. Do you got a producer over there? Okay, Aaron, text me what they just texted. No. I just want to feel part. Y'all be leaving me out like I'm a stepchild. Yeah, thank you.

Okay, how about this here? Bill's head coach, Sean McDermott, says, Tush Push play should be banned. There's always been an injury risk with that play. The technique used with the play have been potentially contrary to the health and safety of the players. Bill used the play 55 times last year, second most in the players. Bills used to play 55 times last year, second most in the league,

but internal data shows the tush push play in 2024 resulted in zero injuries. Zero injuries. And listen, they don't want to stop it because of the injury. They don't want to stop it because of that aspect. They want to stop the tush push

because they have no way of stopping it and showing you all the situation. Right. And really, honestly, it only works for certain teams with certain players based on their personnel. For one, the Eagles is number one. I don't have the statistics in front of me on who else it works for. I think it also works for Josh Allen, too.

Yeah. I think they're around 87%, 88% conversion rate. Oh, my goodness. Listen, I'd want to stop it too. But the fact that McDermott wants to stop it and he also benefits from it, you know, how about also throwing the rule,

you know what, on short downs? Your quarterback can't run? Josh Allen, yeah, Josh Allen can't quarterback sneak. You see what that sounds like? Mm-hmm.

Come on now. It's like you're hindering somebody that's better at something than you are. Yeah. Yeah. Because you can't learn how to drive. You don't know how to drive. Hey, anybody that's 16 years of age

shouldn't be able to drive. No, just because you can't drive, that don't mean another 16-year-old can. So all that tells you is on first and second down, you need to play better defense. Yep. And keep them out of third and short or fourth and short. I tell you what, they keep playing around with all these rules

and they continue to change the game in which you grew up loving. It's going to look like flag football. I'm telling you. I think the thing is, Ocho, look, the only thing I say is that, because like I said, I told you, I think we talked about this on Monday, is that it used to be you couldn't push the runner. It was called aiding the runner. Right.

And then they changed the rules. And now, I guess they say, well, you can't be behind the line of scrimmage and aid the runner. So, I guess if he's down the field, because we see guys they, hey, them linemen have been knocking the hell out of people and trying to push somebody in the end or for a first down since the beginning of time.

We hadn't seen somebody literally, Ocho, get behind them and push. But when they first saw this, they should have said, no, you're violating the spirit of the rule and did away with it then. Now,

everybody tried it. They're not as good as the eagles are okay because we can't be as good as the eagles are at it let's do away with it right that's that's what it seems like to me because i mean they get a lot of support a lot of people want to ban it though joe i heard uh uh uh atlanta is obviously the Packers put it in. You see Sean McDermott here in Buffalo. Do they have enough to get to the 24 votes to get it out? That's the question. The funny thing about it, it's going to be funny when they do pass it and they're still not able to stop the damn Eagles and show you all the situations.

No. No. 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.

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. Bengals wide receiver T. Higgins just posted a cryptic message on Twitter. Blue cap. For the second year in a row, Higgins has not received the right contract offer from Cincinnati.

Ocho? What did I tell you? What did I tell you they was going to do? What did I tell you they was going to do? I said this. The right was on the wall. Everybody in Cincinnati, they fussed with me. The fans argued with me over and over and over and over.

We can pay both. We can make it happen. Not understanding the business side of things. What T deserves, what T deserves in understanding what he can get on the open market, they're not going to do. Right. Because it would be impossible to pay T. It'd be impossible to pay Jamar Chase, who's going to be right because it would be impossible to pay t it'd be impossible to pay jamar chase who's going to be the highest paid and set and reset the the wide receiver market and play

and pay brother trey henderson you can't they say it's impossible then people talk about oh the cap is going up like what are you talking? They're not tying up all the money in three players, let alone four. Actually, it'll be four players because Burrow got his money. Here's the thing, Ocho, is that they said they want to make Jamar Chase

the highest paid non-quarterback. Okay? Chase is looking to go north of 40. Y'all have an opportunity to keep this in the 30s, but y'all made me play it out. And I won the triple crown

so now you're gonna have to come in at 40 okay 40 million 500,000 41 million whatever the case may be i'm finna zoom past him by five million six million that's where i am and i'm gonna need i'm gonna need about 90 to 100 of a guarantee yeah that's what I'm looking at, Joe. Real talk. Yeah. Listen, that's what I knew it was going to look like that. I knew it was going to look like that

when it played itself out last year. I kept saying, I'm not sure why they're playing because why not pay him because you understand what you get in Uno. You know what you get when that product

touches the field on Sundays. Yes. He sat out of the training camp. He gave y'all every opportunity. He gave y'all every opportunity to game on payday. Every chance. Listen, I love my Bengals, but it puts us, us again in a tough spot. I was hoping they could get something done last year.

They didn't get it done. He comes out this year, performs without having a training camp, wins triple crown and now look now look what position we in t higgins has another strong season i i said it what he can get on the open market whatever whatever deal they're gonna send him whatever they're gonna they're gonna try him yeah they're gonna try him yeah and which is why he sent that out i don't know if it was duke Duke. Duke Tobin came out and said about not only making them trying to sign all three of them. I think that's where the cap came from. Yeah. Yeah.

You're trying to sign him. But somebody got it. Somebody got to get the low end of the stick. Yeah. And who did I tell you had to be? He had to be T. He had to crack that 30 million. And I don't know if they can get to that number.

No, I guarantee the offer was very disrespectful. Yeah, for sure. Again, it's the business side of things. But, hey, nobody wanted to listen to me. What y'all going to do, Ocho? Listen, I don't know what we're going to do. I don't know what we're going to do. Now, I think it would have been a little easier

if we had Jermaine Burton on point, you know, mentally, off the field, on the field, if he was able to contribute based on the talent

that I know he has, based on what I saw from him at Alabama. I think they would be a little bit more comfortable, you know, with allowing T to go and get

what he deserves somewhere else on the open market. But the fact that I don't think Mr. Burton has matured enough, you know, with allowing T to go and get what he deserves somewhere else on the open market. But the fact that I don't think Mr. Burton has matured enough, you know, to be able to let T go, you know, in that sense, I know T ain't finna stay and play on no franchise tag again. That would be the ultimate disrespect. Allow him to go get the value and what he deserves.

And he worked his, you know what, his tail off to get. I agree. And what you call ain't going to give you no discount either. Trey Hendrickson. Oh, no. Not now. I mean, so what? You're going to have a $55 million quarterback,

a $40 million receiver, a $30 plus million receiver, and a $30 plus million D-line? You can't. You can't pay everybody. You can't. You just can't. Ocho, 49ers dream. John Lynch says he will honor Debo Samuel's request for a fresh start.

Debo has been granted permission to seek a trade, and his tenure in San Francisco will end after six seasons. Hey, I think we talked about this not too long ago, about great spots for Debo Samuel. Yeah. I like Debo Samuel because he's a Swiss Army knife. He can do so many things. He can do so many things.

Listen, from the backfield, from the slot, sometimes even going outside, you put him in motion, you condense splits. You can do so many things with him. He can return plus and kick off? Yeah, huh? He can return plus and kick off? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Listen, that's why I call him a Swiss Army knife. But he needs to go to a place where they're going to utilize him, not just stick him in the offense and say, here, this is our offense. You learn a Pacific position, and you go from there. Use him the right way. Be creative. I want him to go to a place, obviously

I want the West Coast system for him. I think that would be ideal. But also have an offensive coordinator that has the creativity to use him to his strengths to help bolster whatever office he goes to. He can do too many things very well.

Yeah. He definitely has to go someone that understands how to use him. Because like you said, you can't use him like a conventional receiver. Okay, bro,

go run a dig round. Go run a square out. Nah, you have to do a lot of different things in order to maximize what he's really good at he needs the ball in his hands that's what he's best at run after catch very good so find ways to get it toss it to him hand it to him bubble screen jailbreak screen whatever you want to say hey yeah he can run occasionally he can run an occasional day he's good on the over routes.

But you've got to find a way. You've got to have an OC that's creative and understands what he's dealing with. He's not Jamar Chase. He's not Jetta. He's not a guy that really works really well, can work exclusively outside, like those two guys can.

But you can bump those guys inside. He's mainly a slot receiver. Yeah. But he can give you value in those guys inside. He's mainly a slot receiver. Yeah. But he can give you value in the kick return. He can give you value occasionally on the punt return. He can give you the value in a handoff or a toss, a jet sweep, things of that nature. But you got to understand how to use him.

Because if you think he's just going to be a conventional receiver, you're wasting him and you're wasting your time and money. Yeah, that's true that's true tom brady's been recruiting matthew stafford to come to las vegas stafford met brady in montana per the report they spent time together and went skiing brady has been actively trying to convince stafford to join the raider and discussion is ongoing i don't know. I mean, look. Stafford wants $45-$50 million.

Even though he's 36-37 on Joe, the guy played well. Oh yeah, very well. And he still has an arm for a cannon now. Yes, yes. I think me, personally, I think Matt wants to go somewhere where he can contend.

I don't think the Raiders are quarterback away. I could be wrong, but I think they need more than just a quarterback. But if you think about it, Ocho, who is a quarterback away that has room for him? You think the Steelers are just a quarterback away? Hey, that's a good one. The Steelers are just a quarterback away? Hey, that's a good one. The Steelers are just a quarterback away if the defense could play Steeler defense like we're used to seeing them do.

Okay. I think they're a quarterback away. If the defense can get back to playing Steeler football that we're used to seeing. Do they need another guy outside of George Pickens? That would be nice. That would be nice because

it takes some of the pressure off of Stafford. I'm just saying if Stafford was a quarterback. And obviously you know what it would do. And if you have another dynamic player outside of Pickens, then it takes some of the pressure not only off of Stafford, but then obviously Najee Harris as well.

Well, Najee's not back. Yeah. Doesn't look like he's going to be back. You don't think so? Like I said, with this situation, Ocho, like I said, the Raiders, I don't think the Raiders are quarterback away. Do I think he'll improve them? Yes, because you look at what's in that division, Ocho.

You got Mahone Boy, you got Justin herbert and you got bo nicks so in order for you to compete you're gonna have to get a quarterback right you're not gonna be able it's the same thing in the afc north you got joe you got joe burrow and you got lamar so i don't know what cleveland's gonna do i don't know what the steel is gonna do but if you want to compete in that division, you better go get your quarterback to compete with. You got to have one. You got to have one. Especially Nick.

You got Daniels. You got Jalen Hurts. Dak to a degree. Jack, if you want to compete, you better go get your quarterback. You got to get a quarterback. Yeah. Even in NFC North. Jerry Goff. quarterback um yeah even in nfc nor jerry golf you got minnesota situation you got caleb williams so what you gonna do and you got jordan love

you gotta have quarterbacks to compete where the where the division is quarterback heavy right um i would like to see stafford stay in in in in la but i don't know ocho if at 50 million they're going to be able to put more pieces around him in order to be successful. I love Kyron Williams. Ooh, he nice. Puka. Look, they're going to move up. They're looking to move Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup, yeah. Offensive line, maybe you can get an offensive line,

but defense is solid. Defense stack. I love that defense. So that's going to be a very, very, very interesting situation. Ocho, the Jersey, Victor Wimby Nyama gave a child sales for $73,000. The Jersey Wimby gifted a fan after the December game sold for $73,000 days after the Spurs star season ended. The decision to sell the jersey so quickly raised the possibility

that the child's parents had planned to sell the jersey all alone. Golden declined to go into specifics of the seller or how long the company had been in discussion to sell the item. Despite the injury news, his memorabilia market has been impacted by the short term. A rookie card of his sold for $860,100, a record price Saturday night on Golden in addition to the jersey. Ocho, you like this? I mean, listen, I'm sure it was a fan that, like you said before when we talked about this, a fan that was sitting courtside. In order to sit courtside, I'm sure the family, obviously, you have to have some kind of good money. Yes.

You got to have some kind of good money, man. Yeah. But obviously, a huge spike in chunk of cash like that, not knowing their financial status, I'm assuming they felt that was more important or more valuable than actually having the jersey itself. But you know what this does? Now guys are not going to want to get fans. This stuff? Yeah.

Because I'm going to look up and I'm going to see it see it on google i'm gonna see it on one of these auction sites right right right if that's the case hell i keep it myself and sell it that's what i hate look like you said i don't know the financial decision uh decision of this situation but it's hard for me to believe that that young man could be sitting courtside and they need they hard up for money. Because like you said, courtside isn't cheap. Yeah. You're right. Wait, wait, wait. It depends

on the team now. Now, Lakers courtside seats? Lakers courtside seats? That's expensive. I don't even want to know the numbers. I think the Knicks would probably be expensive also. Yeah. So, San Antonio, want to know the numbers. I think the Knicks will probably be expensive also. Yeah. Maybe Boston. I mean, San Antonio, what you think?

No, I think they were, what were they at, Ash? Were they at the Lakers game or were they in San Antonio? I think they were at the Lakers. Well, hey, listen, Lakers court-sized seats, man, that's a down payment for a car man oh I can imagine what those tickets went for for Lucas first home game can you imagine what those went for

let alone the playoffs hey don't even tell me man please Ocho 29th it was a Nets game. Nets. They were at the Nets.

Ocho. A 29 year old man is seeking advice from Reddit community after ending a relationship with a woman who had not previously disclosed she was a mother. The man explained that he had been dating this 25 yearold Julia for about a month and was caught off guard when she mentioned having a seven-month-old baby. I was taken aback. I honestly thought I misheard her. I thought maybe she was talking about a younger sibling. But when I asked her, she casually confirmed she has a seven-month-old baby. He says he had been enjoying time with Julia up until that point. While he adds that he doesn't judge single mothers, he felt blindsided by the information

and uncomfortable with the prospect of becoming a step-parent. Yeah. Listen, women have to, there are certain things with certain men. Put it all on the table. Hey, listen, put it all on the table right away. Let them know.

There are some men having kids kids non-negotiable I can't do it I can't do it then there's some people like me if you don't have at least two kids I'm not even looking at you I ain't even

I'm not even looking at you if you ain't got at least two that's just me that's just my preference now everybody else they ain't rocking like that why do you want to date only want to date females that have kids? What is it about that?

Well, women that don't have kids most of the time, 98.9% of the time, they never have no goddamn food in the refrigerator. And they don't have no snacks in the pantry. And they always want to go out to eat. And they want to put on and give looks. I don't care about you dressing up. I don't care about you taking pictures of your food. Do you have snacks in the pantry?

Do you have Capri Suns in your refrigerator? Do you have oatmeal pies? Do you have Zingers? Like, I need nourishment at 3 in the morning when we have a little activity. Horizontal at that. There's a difference i dated women in my lifetime when i was younger way younger spending night and ain't no food but they always want to go out to eat what we gonna eat today what you mean you ain't got nothing

at home no going to refrigerator on refrigerator empty. Ain't no food. Every time I date a woman that has kids, there's a certain routine and structure of discipline because she always have to feed the child or feed the kids. Man, listen, boy.

3, 3, 3, 4 in the morning and you go up there and get one of the kids Lunchables and a Capri Sun? Man, stop playing with me, man. Stop playing with me. The mere fact that he says

it was uncomfortable with the prospect of becoming a step-parent lets me know that he dates with intention. Right. So do I. I date with intention too.

He's dating. If you got two, we're going to make it three. If you got three, we're going to make it four. If you got two Yeah If you got two We gonna make it three If you got three We gonna make it four If you got four We gonna make it five The hell you say

Why you laughing boy You laughing boy I ain't playing No but I'm just saying I'm like It sounds like He was genuinely hurt And he really liked this Yeah he was He was I'm just saying, I'm like, it sounds like he was genuinely hurt, and he really liked this. Yeah, he was.

He was. I mean, just put it out on the table. Hey, you have any kids? Yeah, three. Hey, you got kids? Yeah. How old are they? X, Y, boop, boop.

Because I'm going to put it all out there. And then you determine. I guess it's different, Ocho, because a lot of times when guys have kids, the kids don't necessarily, they don't have physical custody like 90, 95% of the women do. So I think that's the difference where women is like, and some women like, nah, you got kids. That's a no-no because I ain't dealing with no baby mama. I'm not dealing with no ex-wife. And I totally get that. But a lot of times women are willing to like go past that because a lot of times the men doesn't have physical custody. So the child is not there all the time.

With women, more times than not, I'm not saying all, so don't jump on that. I'm saying a lot of the majority of the time, the women have custody, physical custody. Not to say the child doesn't have he can go to his parents maybe i mean the mom or the dad like on the weekends or maybe they alternate every other week but more times than not the mother have physical custody so yeah that's you know you got to think especially when you're young some of the young some of the young bulls you know just starting out that might want to start their own family don't want to deal with a woman that already has kids he probably knew that which is why she didn't bring it to the forefront and say it in the beginning there are some women that are

very assertive and and intensely let you know well listen this is what i got this we we are a package deal so if you're not willing to take me and and little ray ray and cc we're going about your business right you know going going about your business there's some women that don't care and feel they will find a man that meets their standards and check some of the boxes that will be able to accept their kids i mean i i'm i'm one of those i don't care i i don't care you know know, especially if they're older. Oh, man. Come on, man. Come on, man.

Yeah. So, bro, I don't know if the Reddit community can help you. That's a decision you're going to have to make on your own. And it seems like you're convinced. I mean, for me, I mean, if she was as good. I mean, the mere fact that you thought about becoming a stepfather, that lets you know where your head is. Like, man, you really like this woman.

Yeah. Yeah, most definitely. Most definitely. But that's a lot too, Uncle. Because everybody ain't dating with intention, don't you? Yeah. But listen, now. You got to think about it. That's a lot, Uncle, to come in and have the mindset.

You know, some people see it as, oh, no, I ain't doing that. And have to take care of or raise someone else's child yeah yeah that that that's tough my um you got him you got to be built different you got to be wired mentally different you hear me yeah yeah that's a that's that's a that's a that's a tough that's a tough task it's a tall task it is what i'm willing to it's what i'm willing to take i climb any ladder well i think the thing is for me, the kids, but the other co-parent, how is he? Because you got to realize, if she got kids, there's somebody on the other side that also has kids. What's he like?

Is he going to just be popping up and, oh, you think you got this in? He think he all that? I can't do that now. I can't do the drama. I can't be out somewhere and he pop up. I can't take the kids to go get a haircut. Why you let this motherfucker get my son

a haircut? Yeah. I ain't never had no problem. No, but I'm just saying. Right, right, right. Because I saw the thing the dude, the boy had,

I guess the guy, maybe it was his stepdad, or maybe it was the guy she was dating he had the little boy to get a haircut it put the barber in an uncomfortable spot oh why you got my son i ain't telling him he can get no oh lord yeah that that's a lot there yeah all that all that has to be discussed beforehand right it has to be discussed beforehand. Right. All that has to be discussed beforehand. If you have a child with someone and you're getting ready to date someone and the child is not his, therefore, I think the father should meet. So there's an understanding. Mm-hmm.

You know? Now, when you do it your way and you're vindictive with the father of your child and you date anyway, even if you do have intent and you don't respectfully let him know, okay, this is who I'm dating. This is who I'm going to be dealing with. You can come and meet him, whatever, whatever. So he's comfortable with that if he doesn't decide

because you have to treat my son as if it's your own. Correct. Yeah. You're absolutely right, though, Joe. I mean, I've been in that situation a lot. Y'all happy with this? Y'all happy with this guy?

Y'all trust him? I'm going to trust y'all judgment. Yeah. I'm going to trust your judgment. Yeah. Everybody ain't built for that. But as long as my kids don't come back with no report, we're going to be good.

Now, y'all know me. Yeah, yeah. Okay? Yeah. Okay. I'll tell you one thing. The more kids, don't know i don't know what they don't know what they be talking about on twitter no but my pockets can't stand that i'm michael casson 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.

Sheldon Pope said, Uncle Nocho, I hear former NBA player Vernon Maxwell say rather, he'd rather have the money now over the rings. What would you prefer in today's society have the money now over the rings what would you prefer today's society the money or the championship ring well you can't eat them rings no them rings are great for conversational pieces right them rings when it's time to talk about stats and accolades and what you've done and how many rings you've won you know in comparison especially when

it comes to sports debate oh that's beautiful that's lovely you know that's great to have but that money is different huh you can't eat them rings and most of the time if you think statistically when it comes to athletes that aren't good with their money when they are playing two years removed from the game you know 98 70 80 whatever it may be there is no more money because they try to maintain a lifestyle that you can't keep up with once you stop playing but what they got to do with them rings huh they got to do what yeah you got to for me ocho i don't know vernon uh i don't know max financial status i don't know how I don't know Max financial status

I don't know how much he made when he played yes sir I get asked that a lot I'm glad I don't have to make that decision because I took care

of my money and I still got my rent yes sir yes everybody like you. Everybody. You're fortunate. You're one of the few. Statistically, you in the 15%.

Excuse me. You're right, Ocho. You're absolutely right. I didn't make a whole lot of money, Ocho. I mean, you got to realize I came came in as a seventh-round draft pick. I made $63,000 my first year, $73,000, $225,000, $325,000. I was the first team all pro.

Made $325,000. Made the Pro Bowl for the second time. It is what it is. I just realized I was already starting behind the eight ball so I need to go into overdrive as far as saving

but in the process of me trying to go overdrive I got three kids yeah yeah I'm with you now I'm kicking up

what you put down I'm gonna take the little bit of money I got I did good with my money I'm gonna take the money I got I didn't make

50 million I didn't make 70 million right I made a decent living I was going to take the money I got. I didn't make $50 million. I didn't make $70 million. Right. I made a decent living. I was able to keep it. This is what you got to understand. You didn't make $50 million.

You didn't make $70 million. But what you did make, you know what to do with it. See, if you got $20 and you can't budget $20, you ain't going to be able to budget $200. Right. If you got $200 and you can't budget $200, you ain't going to be able to budget $200,000 and you can't budge to $200,000, you ain't be able to budge to $2,000. If you got $2,000 and you can't budge to $2,000, what you think you're going to do with $20 million? If you have no structure of financial discipline, it doesn't matter how much money they give you. You're going to run through it regardless because you're never going to know when to stop. When you're playing a game of football, the money's coming in so goddamn...

I'm sorry The money's coming in so fast That you don't realize how much you're spending Until you're done playing You don't realize It goes fast It does And you look at the numbers today Look at the numbers today

10 years from now Anybody go broke with the kind of money they make it in pro sports now you need your ass whip it ain't how much you make is how much you keep uh you're not listening though if you getting this much money in today's game but you don't have the structure of financial discipline and what to do with it and you try to you try to maintain a certain lifestyle long after you're done playing, it's going to go. But you don't need five houses.

You don't need 15 cars. I got two houses. I got two. It's about the image, Unc. But damn the image. I know another image when you broke. Yeah. But Unc, listen, they get caught up in it. They get caught up in the

Hopefully you did something fun today. First of all, they're going to probably need to get Brock Purdy re-signed. Get healthy. Get Christian McCaffrey back healthy. Get Brandon Ayuk healthy. That's going to help. They're going to have to show up to defense. I mean, Ward, I think Ward is free.

Ray Ward is back. You still have Bosa. You have Leonard Floyd. You have pieces. I think the biggest thing for them, Ochoa, is to get healthy. Yeah.

Get Christian McCaffrey back. Get Brandon Ayuk back. That's definitely going to help get Brock Purdy signed how far were the Warriors going in the playoffs? we're right now there in the 10th spot it's all about matchups

do I think they can get to the Western Conference Finals? no, because I don't believe they can beat OKC, I don't believe they can beat the Nuggets I don't believe they can beat the Lakers but we'll see. Dangerous Al, if your son asked you which sport should you start playing at an early age,

what sport would you tell him? Baseball. Soccer. Baseball. Soccer. Baseball. How many American born soccer players? Listen, you said, listen, I'm not telling him to play baseball. I'm telling them to play soccer simply for the foundation of having your footwork together.

If you able, when you get a little older, but if you start soccer early, if you start soccer early, like I did, I still have the greatest feet of all time. That's another story. But if you start soccer early, it creates a certain fundamental, a certain fundamentally discipline that other sports can't teach. Every sport is from the waist down. Hockey, footwork. Soccer, footwork. Football, footwork. Basketball, footwork. It all starts with the lower extremities. If you play soccer, your feet move at a different, it's just, it's different. So when you transition to something else, you're always moving two steps ahead of anybody in that sport.

Baseball. Because if you don't start playing at a young age and you see that curveball, you see that slider, you ain't doing it. So, baseball. Listen to me. Can I ask you a question? Yes. Think about all the kids that played baseball early and the small percentage that make it

to the big leagues. Yeah, even smaller percentage plays soccer. How many football players you think play soccer coming up? How many you think play basketball coming up? You forgot what I just said. I was just saying soccer, simply speaking on what it can do for the footwork

once you transition into the sport you actually want to play. Well, if you don't play baseball soon enough, I don't care what your feet look like. You ain't hitting that curveball. And you ain't hitting no 105-mile-an-hour fastball. Who ain't? You. That concludes this edition of episode. Aw, man. We leaving? You. That concludes this edition of...
