Coach O, according to reports, Coach Prime expresses interest in the Raiders' head coaching position. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, associates of Coach Prime have reached out to the franchise to express Sanders' interest in the opening, Tom Brady is spearheading the search for a coach and general manager after the dismissal of Tom Telesco, general manager and head coach Antonio Pierce.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Brady will have a significant voice in the Raiders decision. Hmm. What you thinking, Ochoa? I like it. It sound good. It sound real good. But I understand and Prime knows Prime knows best. Prime has been around the game of football for a very long time.
Starting point is 00:03:46 You also know, even if you do have interest in that quarterback job, even if you do have interest in that head coaching job, you will also have a short leash unless you have a goddamn quarterback. True. Unless you have a quarterback. You, the greatest, the GOAT, Prime Time, will have a very short lease and mark davis will also fire you as well even with the
Starting point is 00:04:09 understanding you have nothing to work with if you have no quarterback true now if he if the if the situation revolved i mean if the situation is resolved and they have a if they have a veteran presence or maybe
Starting point is 00:04:24 just so happen the raiders find a way to go all the way up and get your door now we talking now we talking now now i understand okay maybe with prime playing that seat out there to put it out there maybe he didn't say it the way it's being reported i would love to coach my sons. You know, you never know how the draft may happen. But, you know, seeing Prime at the NFL level and him always saying, I would never want to coach NFL players. Yeah. You know, it would change, you know, because he had Prime had a song.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Must be the money. And the money will be what it should be. And I think I think it would be great for him. You know, everywhere he's gone. High school in Dallas. Jackson State. Colorado. He has turned those programs around. And I'm sure he can do the same thing at the NFL level,
Starting point is 00:05:30 giving time, giving time. You're not bringing prime in there and saying he can't have the power to make the decisions, to build the type of team he needs to build, to be able to compete week to week, especially in that division, against the Chiefs, against the Chargers. You got to get in against the Broncos. You got to have a quarterback.
Starting point is 00:05:51 You got to have a quarterback. Because those teams have quarterbacks. They find their quarterbacks. You got to have a quarterback. In order to compete in a quarterback league, you got to have a quarterback. It's really that simple. it's not it's you know let's not make it more complicated uh complex than what it needs to be it's a
Starting point is 00:06:11 quarterback driven league and you need a quarterback to compete yeah yeah hold on i i didn't drink too much water chad give me a minute. I got a pee-pee. What y'all think, guys? Y'all like Coach Prime to in Vegas? Or y'all want him to stay at CU? Green Blade play Philly tomorrow, right? Is that the early game?
Starting point is 00:06:46 Oh, yeah, the Broncos. The Broncos, Buffalo's at one, and they're going to play. Oh, wow. So they got three games tomorrow, huh? Wow. So game starts at one. Oh, so it's going to be like a regular Sunday, one, four, and then eight, you know, 8 o'clock game, 8.30 game.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Okay? Everybody want him to stay at CU? I think, for me personally, I think the only reason, I mean, this is consideration that he gets an opportunity to coach his son. It'd be interesting to see because I don't think Shador has, the only voice that he's ever heard as a head coach is his dad. That's time.
Starting point is 00:07:30 And so it'd be interesting. I know that that's something that he would want. And maybe the only position, the only team that's in position to make that happen, the Giants kept Brian Dayball. It seemed like for all intents and purposes, the ink is about to be dry on that deal with Mike Brable in New England, even though Gerard Mayo's wife had a lot to say on IG today. Did we hear?
Starting point is 00:08:01 Did you see that? I guess she's not she's not happy with her husband losing his job after one season. But I think that's the only way I think that's the only thing
Starting point is 00:08:17 that that's the only reason he would have considered this job Ocho is that they're in position. But you don't know the Raiders choose what six man to go up to go up that high is that they're in position. But you don't know. The Raiders choose, what, six? Man, to go up that high?
Starting point is 00:08:30 Yeah. Listen, they're going to have to, huh? They're going to have to. They have a need. They have a need. There are two quarterbacks that are good that are coming out. Ham Ward and Shandor Sanders,
Starting point is 00:08:43 then there's everybody else. Yep. This is not a good draft class this out. Pam Ward and Shandor Sanders, then there's everybody else. Yep. This is not a good draft class this year. It's just not. It's not a good draft class. You've got to go and gamble and get what your team needs, and the Raiders need a quarterback. There might be a situation where they might pull in a situation where
Starting point is 00:09:05 they might pull it at what Atlanta did draft a quarterback bring a veteran in and hope to have him for a year or two right and then the understudy could step in and go to work
Starting point is 00:09:20 I like it I like it O I like it. Oh, Joe. George Pickens had a lot to say after the post game. If we're playing it, it's probably not good.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Let's take a listen to what he had to say. What have you done with this offense now for three years? Have you seen the sign of the relationship moments
Starting point is 00:09:42 in the organization still in the offense? Yeah, I've seen signs of growth girl for sure. From past, you know, the first year I've been here, just way more girl for sure. Does that make you optimistic going forward?
Starting point is 00:09:55 Uh, no. No. but listen listen hey hey chat chat listen to me now i'm sure y'all just heard just heard what pickens had to say but would you be optimistic if you were him would you be optimistic okay you know you can't say that i know i know i know you should be optimistic but you're like hey i say i said look we're getting better i've seen growth from my first year to my second year to my third year right hopefully this is something that we can build on but in the back of my mind well we good and terrible yeah yeah and then listen um you got you got to get the young bull involved i know he's had his issues i know he's had his issues. I know he's had his problems.
Starting point is 00:10:47 You know, the effort, the being lazy, the loafing, you know, the not blocking, the penalties. I know that. I know that. But he has no reason to be optimistic with understanding what you just saw tonight. This is the biggest game. Why are you allowing the Ravens to dictate you getting your best offensive weapon involved in the game and when you do get involved
Starting point is 00:11:10 it's too late you're already down two scores that doesn't make me optimistic there's no reason why they can't the same way they use Ladd-McConkie the same way they use Cooper Cup or the way they use Puginacua or the way they use Jamar Chase or the way they use Cooper Cup or the way they use Puka Nakua or the way they use Jamar Chase
Starting point is 00:11:25 or the way they use Justin Jefferson. He has the exact same type of talent. But he don't give you the same type of effort. Oh, come on. Oh, Joe, you see it. That's the first thing
Starting point is 00:11:41 I just talked about. Yes. I didn't talk about it, but I'm understanding what he's capable of doing. When he wants to do it. That's why he's not optimistic. You think Jamar Chase don't loaf because they throw the ball to T. Higgins?
Starting point is 00:11:56 Puka Nakua doesn't loaf because they're throwing the ball to Cooper Cub? Hold on. Do you know everybody you just named know the ball is coming? They know the ball is coming. George Spens go two quarters with no goddamn ball. No catches, no opportunities. Part of being professional is like, sometimes you got to just like, Hey, you got to bite your tongue. You don't always, you don't always have to tell the truth. Considering, considering your past record and what you've been doing on the field.
Starting point is 00:12:36 You're right. He's the wrong guy. He's the wrong guy. I'm not saying he's wrong. What he said, I'm just saying he's the wrong message. How about this? Right message, wrong messenger. How about this? Right message,
Starting point is 00:12:47 wrong messenger. Okay. True. We're leaving it at that. Yes. Yes. But I kind of like what players are now
Starting point is 00:12:55 starting to tell the truth instead of being PC. I kind of like it. So I guess, so I guess, you know, the Dolphins should come out and tell the truth about the guys
Starting point is 00:13:06 that have been late for practice and not missing meetings, huh? Well, no, no, no, no, no way out. You say you like to tell the truth, so we just can't tell the truth on one side and not tell the truth on the other. No, what I did say,
Starting point is 00:13:20 I say I like the fact that players now at times are starting to just be honest instead of being... So can teams be honest also? So can Mike Tomlin be honest about George Pickens? Can Russell Wilson be honest about George Pickens and his effort? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you don't see the hair of the fan.
Starting point is 00:13:38 We address it, though. We address it ourselves. No, no, no. We. I'm talking about team. You say the player i want players to be honest you say you want players to be honest so i want to be honest i don't want russell to say i have the utmost confidence in him when he quit on the ball when he quit on the ball and it caused me to get an interception i don't want him to be honest with that i want him to say george pickett's quit on the ball had he not quit on that ball the safety would have got wide and i could have had a hole shot.
Starting point is 00:14:05 That's what I want. You see, Knight, you're going to the extreme with it. You just said you want players to be honest, but not when it's honest with another player. No, he was asked a question about his personal belief. Is he optimistic about the offense? No. Why is he not optimistic about the offense? Because they don't use the motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Well, I'm not optimistic that he's going to ever be anything but a pouting diva that doesn't give effort on every play. So can I be honest? Yeah, you have every right to say that based on what we've seen. You have every right to say that. I'm just making sure because I don't want it to be one-sided that the players get to tell the truth, but the team and other players don't get to tell the truth about said player. Right, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I just think the thing is, in that situation, it would have showed a lot of growth and a lot of maturity. He'd have just framed it and said, yeah, oh, yeah, I see. From my first year to my second year, you know, we get Russ in here. We got a proven guy, a guy that's won a lot of games in this league that's won a super bowl that's been to a super bowl that's been a start
Starting point is 00:15:09 of his entire career so i see the growth in this offense and hey i'm a young player myself there's some things that i need to do better but i'm growing right along with it all the while in the back of my mind this offense ain't really for me it doesn't really showcase what i do right you can think that also we all think a lot of things that we don't say yeah we're not supposed to say it yeah i understand that's just like i'm saying but like i said i just think the thing is is that somebody just needs to get with george sit down and talk to him, and explain to him, like George, is that you make it really hard for fans to put their arms around you
Starting point is 00:15:52 when they see you quit on plays, when they see you give a lackadaisical effort, when they see you're not hustling, when you're not getting the ball. It's really hard to embrace you because the one thing, look, Steve has a hard hat and lunch pad. They want guys to give effort. That's why they love
Starting point is 00:16:10 Hines Ward might be their favorite receiver. Of all of them, Swan, Star Wars, all of them, Hines Ward might be their favorite. Whoa, no. Their favorite receiver wears 84 and he's from Dade County. No way.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I guarantee you, I guarantee you, if you talk a poll with Steelers fans, I guarantee you. Take a poll right now in the chat. No, no. I said we need to take a span with Steelers, with the Steelers fans. I guarantee you, I guarantee you, Hines Ward is their favorite player. They're picking 84. I guarantee you, I guarantee you Hines Ward is their favorite player. They're picking 84, boy. I guarantee you that. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I'm not telling you what I heard. I'm telling you what I know. I'm telling you what I know. Because you know why? Yes, A.B. had way more talent. But the one thing you know about Hines, Hines gave you everything he had when he was on the field and he was a model citizen.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Whoa, and so, and so, listen, we're not talking about model citizens and stuff. We ain't talking about that. We're he was on the field and he was a model citizen. And so, listen, we're not talking about model citizens and stuff. We ain't talking about that. We're talking about on the field. Ocho, did you not see the man throw the trash can on the field? Did you not see the man come late to practice? Did you not see? Mike Tomlin bitched in his last game, Ocho. Come on,
Starting point is 00:17:19 man. I'm not saying AB wasn't talented. I'm saying the fans. Pittsburgh is a blue collar town I know what Pittsburgh is I had to deal with them twice a year I know what they were but you know that's a conversation
Starting point is 00:17:37 for another day and that joker gave you effort the blocking hey he was mean And, hey, that Joker gave you effort. The blocking. Oh, hey, he was mean, that blocking boy. Hey, when he used to go out to everybody. He went out to everybody.
Starting point is 00:17:56 It wasn't just everybody. Granted, Ocho, you know, hey, there's no love lost between the Steelers and the Ravens. Yeah. We saw the intro with Big Ben and Sugar did that. But boy, Hyde went after everybody. Oh, yeah, always. Oh, Hyde's looking to get you now. That's why they changed the rules.
Starting point is 00:18:14 That's why they can't... Keith Rivers. Remember when he booked... What's his name, John? Keith Rivers. Keith Rivers, yeah. Yeah, Cincinnati. I remember that.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yes. And they changed the rules. He is the reason why you can't do the blindside block anymore. Crackback. You can't crackback anymore. Yes, he's the reason. He was absolutely the reason. But like I said, Ocho, George is a young player.
Starting point is 00:18:40 But at some point in time, we got to stop using age as an excuse. He has to mature. He has to be an adult he has to do the right things a part of doing the right things is saying the right things when to say what to say how to say it it's like I said Ocho we think a lot of things
Starting point is 00:18:56 but we know we can't say everything that comes up comes out especially after the week that he just had last week that's the last thing that he should want to like no i ain't i ain't got nothing to say i i ain't got i ain't got absolutely nothing to say but but he was doing so good yes he's seen growth in the offense year one year two year three different quarterback russ pro bowl quarterback super bowl quarterback
Starting point is 00:19:26 a lot of stars up on his belt a lot of touchdowns on his belt and hey this is my first year playing with a proven quarterback like a russ that understands i understand him he understands me oh this was hey there's a lot of i see it i see the growth but there's a lot of I see it. I see the growth, but there's a lot more room for improvement. Right. Oh, everybody's like, man, you hear Pick? Man, he growing. Hey, he matured right before our eyes. And he's like, nah.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Hey, he's going to be all right, though. He's going to be all though you're going to be alright I hope they have the choice yeah does he have to stay there after this year pick was the same round pick so this is his third year right yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:20:33 so he's got a three year deal so yeah he's in line for a contract yeah I think it'd be good for him to probably go somewhere else. They could transition. They could franchise it.
Starting point is 00:20:50 For real? Yeah. Damn. Yeah. But they own his rights. Right. Okay. They just can't give him that fifth year option because he wasn't a first round pick. Right. right, right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:21:06 So he's in the same situation as Brock Purdy. A later draft pick, signed the deal. He probably signed a three-year deal. Did he sign a three-year or a four-year deal? He signed a four-year? So they got it for another year, Ocho. They're going nowhere and they're probably
Starting point is 00:21:26 they're going to probably offer up a contract yeah I just read today I think he's in line for a contract somewhere around 27 to 28 million dollars a year
Starting point is 00:21:36 yes sir what you think I mean listen getting 27, 28 I would hope you use it the way it-28 I would hope you use it the way it should be I would hope you would do that you know
Starting point is 00:21:50 and I'm not going to say it again I'm not going to repeat myself I don't want to be redundant but you know despite the flaws and the red flags what he can be his full potential man The flaws and the red flags. What he can be.
Starting point is 00:22:07 His full potential. Mesh. He can play with the best. He can play with the best of them. Yeah. Oh, he can play with the best of them. One thing we can't do is deny his ability. Yeah. He's the only playmaker that they got on that side of the ball.
Starting point is 00:22:24 He's the only onemaker that they got on that side of the ball. He's the only one. And you the night. But that's neither here nor there. But. Well. I'm sure. Coach Tom is going to talk to him like he has every year after the season.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Tell him some of the things that he needs and want him to improve upon. And we'll see if it resonates.

Starting point is 00:25:15 Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. 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,
Starting point is 00:25:39 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
Starting point is 00:26:25 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.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. Ocho. Yeah. Dan tries to bring a crocodile skull onto his flight. Indian Customs stopped a 32-year-old at security check-in
Starting point is 00:27:42 before a flight to Canada. The Department of Forest and Wildlife conducted a forensic examination of the skull and confirmed it was a baby crocodile. The animal is a protected species under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. Ocho, what's the wildest thing you've tried to bring into your carry-on?
Starting point is 00:28:04 Hey, that's a good question. I'm trying to think. The wildest thing I've tried to bring into my carry-on. I ain't really had nothing like this. I'm just going to be honest with you, too, because I travel real light. I travel real light now. I know people might laugh at me and make fun of me, but I purposely pack light when I'm traveling. One of the things that I always
Starting point is 00:28:30 do, and I mean no disrespect, and I'm getting better with time as I get older, but I always steal hotel towels when I come back home. When I travel and I go places, I take two sets of hotel towels.
Starting point is 00:28:47 To build up my collection. At my place here. And that would be the way. I don't know. I don't even know if you think. You would consider that really being weird. But. I mean that's something I do.
Starting point is 00:28:55 I've never had any. Any type of memorabilia. Or. Or. Or artifacts. Or anything of that. Of that. Of that nature.
Starting point is 00:29:02 But that. That's. That's. That's the only thing i can think of that i do especially when traveling you know i pack i pack one outfit no i pack one pair of shoes when i go places for maybe more than two or three days and i just have multiple pairs of t-shirts socks and underwear to be able to change but i just rotate the same outfit over and over but the weirdest thing i do is i I still set the hotel towers.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I'm trying to think. Maybe $100,000. Well, if you got $100,000, what do I got to pay you that $4,000 for? That's what you owe. The bank got a lot of money. They still want the money that you owe them. Now, run me that. And that was a long time ago. And they're like, excuse excuse me whose bag is this I'm like why
Starting point is 00:29:47 can we go through it yeah but I will be looking at you while you do yeah that's the damn joke hold on I thought you can't you can't
Starting point is 00:29:57 I thought you can't go through TSA with that kind of money though isn't there a limit no there ain't no limit look when they when they nab people,
Starting point is 00:30:05 somebody done tipped them off. Right. Because look, sometimes you go through there, you got a full tube of toothpaste. Sometimes you got mouthwash and don't nothing. I've seen people like, oh my gosh, I got through here with this bottle of water. It happened.
Starting point is 00:30:22 But they just ask you know where you going I'm going home right I ain't know I ain't know that huh yes yeah I ain't know you guys go through the airport

Starting point is 00:33:27 Hines Ward or AB right now Hines Ward is winning 55% to 45% hold on wait a minute wait wait
Starting point is 00:33:37 wait a minute hold on now first off I need to understand how many Steelers fans we have in the chat. You went and said, put it to the chat.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I told you let's have Steelers fans. But you said, no, we have a multitude of fan bases in the chat. So it might not be enough. Ocho, see, you looking at it from a different lens. You think I'm saying who's the better player. I said who's your favorite player, Hines Ward or AB? And I guarantee you, if you took a poll of just Steelers fans,
Starting point is 00:34:10 I guarantee you Hines Ward will win. Okay. Listen, there's one thing about Steelers fans. Matter of fact, if you ask Steelers fans who their favorite receiver between AB, Hines Ward, and Ocho,
Starting point is 00:34:21 they're going to pick Ocho. You know why? Because they love me and and I love them, and I've always been respectful, and I gave them entertainment. Look, they love Hines, boy. Because Hines is the embodiment of a stealer. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:35 He had to be a fan. Yeah. He'll be hardworking. Yeah. Everything, lunch, wear a hard hat, go to work, work long hours. That's him. And he lunch, wear a hard hat, go to work, work long hours. That's him.
Starting point is 00:34:47 And he did everything with a smile. He did, he did everything with that goddamn smile. With that two little ass helmet on his head. Squeezing the shit,
Starting point is 00:34:57 squeezing the you know what out of his face. But I tell you what, boy, I would thump the hell out of you right knock you clean out I don't know
Starting point is 00:35:09 hold up bro did he not think Ocho that you put this thing they not gonna see that crocodile thing in his back
Starting point is 00:35:17 the whole skull in the backpack but when you think about it we just talk about we talk about what do you call that when you have the deer and the antelope, the stuff? Yeah. What do you call that?
Starting point is 00:35:31 Yeah. I mean, is there anything wrong with traveling with something like this? Yes, because that's an endangered species and it's protected and you shouldn't have it. They sell those in stores. Yeah, but that's not so that was a live gator that he probably killed and chopped his head off and he's protected and you don't they don't have endangered species in the store okay well i i didn't know that i don't i didn't know it's like certain birds it's certain mammals. It's certain things that are endangered and protected
Starting point is 00:36:08 and normal and a regular civilian can't possess it. I wonder where this was at. I wonder where this is at. Because, listen, I could walk outside right now. Oh, okay. You were going to Canada. Or India. Oh, it was in India.
Starting point is 00:36:25 So, you know, they got an abundance of crocodiles. Okay, now that's understandable. That's understandable. Now, I'm thinking about here in Miami, alligators. I'm not sure what we have here. Alligators or crocodiles. Oh, they're everywhere. Yeah, but alligators used to be on the endangered species list.
Starting point is 00:36:39 And they protected them. And see, now they have an abundance of them. Yeah, now they're everywhere. The reason why they're not everywhere is because as you expand the land, you expand it encroaching on the habitat. Where the hell are they going to go? Y'all keep building on marshland
Starting point is 00:36:54 and keep building and building and building. That's why they're in your swimming pool. That's why they're in your front yard eating your pets and doing all that other stuff. They ain't got no choice. What'd you say, eating your pets? Yes, if if you keep if you keep it's just like anything if i build keep building further and further in the woods eventually i'm gonna run into bear and bobcat and all that other kind of
Starting point is 00:37:16 stuff it's just i would love that man love what i would i think i think one time be you should allow me to experience what it's like to be in the country i think you and i we should we should take some take a video and go out in the woods and record you and i out in the woods you know with with dangerous animals bears and coyotes lions all that i grew up in the country and saw Bobcats and saw all that stuff and rattlesnakes. I'm good, Ocho. I'm good on that. No, I'm just saying that would be great content for us.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Like, Unc and Ocho take on the wilderness. Like, I'm going to give you a camera and I'll let you do it. And then Ocho, and then Unc edits Ocho in the wilderness. You got to live, man. You gotta live, man. You not living, man.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Up, you alive, but you ain't living. Chat, when y'all tell this, man, I grew up in... See, here's the thing. You want me to do stuff I've already done for the first 20 years of my life.
Starting point is 00:38:17 That's what you not understand. It is you can go back to what you know. You can pass on your expertise to me and your experience when we are in the wood we're in the wilderness like me and you we could be perched up in a tree we can see a grizzly bear you realize bears can climb trees right right that's the exciting part about it ain't nothing exciting about that listen we in a tree and a grizzly bear can get up there
Starting point is 00:38:45 so what do we do next well I'm going to have a gun I'm going to shoot him that's what I'm going to do that's the whole point that is great content look if you are threatened I mean a lot of places the bear is protected
Starting point is 00:39:00 now they do have places where you can hunt you have a certain time of year I think that you can hunt but nah I ain't really trying to I ain't really trying to go back oh man you not man that we could have a whole we could have a whole nature show man think about it uncle no joke it takes on the will i'm like i'm telling you man, that'd be crazy gold. You teach me how to fish. Okay, now we can do that. I can do that. No, you teach me how to skin it.
Starting point is 00:39:31 And, you know, we hunt squirrels and raccoons and stuff like that. And then we work our way up to bigger animals. Right. Well, all you got to do, look, all you got to do if you're going to dress the animal, you hang the animal upside down. I mean, look, ain't nobody casing out no squirrel. So you basically you split him down the back and you pull. Just like you're taking off your shirt and you pull your
Starting point is 00:39:52 pants down, you take your shirt off. That's how you do a squirrel down the back. Now, if you casing out an animal... And it's the capture. Not only are we stuck in the woods, we don't get to eat unless we catch it. You are not the person I want to be stuck in the woods we don't get to eat unless we catch it we got it you are not the person i want to be stuck in the woods because you don't know ish so i don't want to be stuck
Starting point is 00:40:10 in the woods with you you just said you have 20 years of experience being in the country but you don't know how to make a fire you don't know how to build nothing whoa whoa time out i smoke cigars i don't need to know how to make a fire if I have my goddamn lighter on me.

Starting point is 00:48:55 a case of them. Dab Smith said, I believe Ravens are going to the Super Bowl with this version of Lamar and because they have a close in Henry, he can win a game by himself.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Absolutely. Absolutely. Look, they get the last four minutes of the ball game, this is what you got Derrick Henry for. Don't let him get the ball back. He can run the air out of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:23 And when they start gearing up putting eight men on the line of scrimmage lamar kevin and come out the back side so we got a counter to your counter we're just gonna see how y'all playing it okay lamar read it. They crashed, take Derek Henry away to the backside for that inside zone read, pull it. You saw them, they read it like four times in a row.
Starting point is 00:49:50 They pulled it each time because the end kept crashing. And when they hesitated, Henry hit his head on the goalpost right up the middle. Isaiah Lancaster said, Uncle Nocho, where would you rank all time if you won a third MVP and a Super Bowl
Starting point is 00:50:11 with Super Bowl MVP and for the media labor Herbert as elite and he was never and he was off for the day three MVPs Super Bowl MVP high five He was off for the day. Three MVPs. Super Bowl MVP.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Top five. Top five. Probably so. Yeah. Top five. Probably so, Ocho. It's going to be nothing else. It's going to be close to five because you'd have Brady.
Starting point is 00:50:44 You'd have Montana. You'd have Mahomes. you'd have Payton, you'd have Rodgers. So I don't know if he'd be six. I don't know if you'd put him in the top five because you got Manny with five MVPs, two Super Bowls, and a Seabull MVP. You got Rodgers with four MVPs, a Super Bowl MVP. You got Joe with three and three.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Brady's seven. And you got Mahomes. So he knocking at the door. Oh, yeah. He goes from maybe 10, 11, all the way to right near the top five quarterbacks of all time. Yeah. And he's 28 years of age. With more to do.
Starting point is 00:51:28 That's great. Jones was saying, can we talk about the Texas where beating the Chiefs is going to happen? Possible. You're going to have to play better than you played. I mean, if you played like you played the second half, you got chance it'll make a good game that's a different animal now yeah different animal different defense that's a the playoff chiefs are different than the chiefs that you

Starting point is 00:56:58 I move on from Tomlin. Enough is enough. Ocho. That's tough. That's tough that's tough I mean 17-18 years of consistency of winning seasons that's tough
Starting point is 00:57:15 and listen a situation like that when it comes to the police and what Mike Tomlin has done and been for the Steelers in general I would let him make that decision I would let Mike Tomlin make done and been for the Steelers in general, I would let him make that decision. You know, I would,
Starting point is 00:57:26 I would let Mike Tomlin make that decision. Yeah. I mean, I just, just, just based on the question, the question that was asked, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:36 Oh, can I ask you a question? Yes, sir. Uh, is there, is there Henry Raven? He's a Tennessee tightener.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Okay. You check it. I know he's having a phenomenal season. He's having, I'm just checking. I'm just checking. When he, when he, when he, when he hangs it up, he's a Tennessee type. So that man go there, he run for 1900 yards, all pro, uh, help get a team to the Superbowl. He could easily be, he on the bar.
Starting point is 00:58:04 That had nothing to do with the tenure that he had in Tennessee all those years. So if a guy works at one organization for 10 years and works at another organization so if I work at Apple for 10 years and then I go work at Google for three years, I'm not a Google employee.
Starting point is 00:58:22 I mean, do you really count that? No, you're an Apple employee okay AJ Zabor said Ocho is definitely my favorite receiver between Hyde and AB some people speculating if Pickens even knows what optimistic means lol
Starting point is 00:58:38 did the media ever use unfamiliar words with you as a player nah I mean obviously with the media I was the one using the big words unfamiliar words with you as a player? No. Obviously with the media, I was the one using the big words. If you haven't noticed, if you've seen my spelling, that was
Starting point is 00:58:58 my expertise. How many years will Saquon need to be at the Eagles to be considered an Eagle he's a New York Giant okay I'm just checking I'm just
Starting point is 00:59:10 I'm just making a show because I listen continuity he's a New York Giant they didn't want him though I mean listen I've been in situations where people didn't want me
Starting point is 00:59:24 okay Nate Harper said hey Uncle Nocho what do you think I mean, listen, I've been in situations where people didn't want me. Okay. Nate Harper said, hey, Elgin Ocho, what do you think of a wedding blueprint for the Eagles against the Packers tomorrow? Love you guys. It's going to be a good game, boy. Yeah. That's going to be. And the blueprint for the Eagles is put the ball in 26 belly.
Starting point is 00:59:44 And when you do throw the ball, get it to AJ Brown and get it to Devontae Smith. Allow the run game to open up the pass game. Now that's something you really wouldn't say in today's game because it's the pass-happy league. Take some of the pressure off Hurts. Let's say Kwon do what he does. At some point, they're going to have to bring that safety on down
Starting point is 01:00:04 and it's going to be one-on-one on the outside. You got two receivers that can be man-to-man, whether it's press or whether it's off. Just make throws. Make throws. That's it. Simple.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Filthy McNasty, your Uncle Nocho, grabs to the Texans and Ravens. Question, how did you deal with fear before a game? Also, any chance we can see Jordan and Ash? Thanks for all you and Ocho do. Fly, Eagles, fly. I don't think with fear. I mean, obviously, you'll have nerves.
Starting point is 01:00:38 I mean, you get a queezing in your stomach, and you're like, look. You're like, whoo. That's a big game. I mean, it happens. If you don't feel nerves, the game ain't big enough. Nah. Matter of fact, if you don't feel nerves at all,
Starting point is 01:00:55 that means your love for the game is gone. Yep. Those butterflies before kickoff. And I got them in preseason. Always. Always. Nerves as hell. And then I don't calm down until I touch the ball.
Starting point is 01:01:09 I don't calm down until I touch the ball. So there's a certain nervousness and ah, that's weird. It's such a crazy feeling that I haven't had since I left the game. Nothing replaces the game. Nothing replaces the game. There's nothing
Starting point is 01:01:25 that, I mean, you try, I mean, that's why guys, you know, they try to play golf. They gamble. They, you know, they pick up hobbies, but ain't nothing that competitive that you've been doing. Think about how long you played the sport. Right. I mean,
Starting point is 01:01:41 even if you only picked it up in high school, you didn't play like I played. I started playing when I was nine. I played competitive tackle football for 26 years. I retired at 35. What was I going to do? Think about it.
Starting point is 01:01:57 I had played football, damn it, as long as I've been alive. Five, yeah. What am I going to replace that with? Doing what? Nathaniel. No. five yeah what am i gonna replace that with doing what nathaniel no it even even if i'm playing golf it's competitive but that guy ain't trying to hit me over his head with his club he's not trying to block me my ball from going in the hole yeah in the football field that guy was stopping trying to stop me from doing my job right Right. So it's hard. You have to catch us
Starting point is 01:02:27 in the airport. And you got to be real fast because I have to be running. Cal Simpson said, Sup, Uncle Nocho. Been a fan since Uncle Goose I knew by restitution. Would y'all rather see my homeboy win the first ever three-peat or the amazing
Starting point is 01:02:45 win his first one? I'm pulling for Lamar. I'm pulling for Lamar, too. I've said it multiple times. I only want Lamar if he goes through my home to do it. I don't care who he go through. I just want to see him win. He got to go through the big dog.
Starting point is 01:03:04 I don't want somebody to knock... I don't want my home go through. I just want to see him win. He got to go through the big dog. I don't want Mahomes to get knocked out before. And as they will see, he ain't have to face Mahomes because you know Mahomes is cripped tonight. Yeah. I mean, think about it. And all this time, the man knocked you out last year. That means you would have to go to get your revenge. You'd have to go to his house.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Right. I got to go to get your revenge. You'd have to go to his house. Right. I got to go to your house, Ocho. That's what that's what, uh, think about it. That's what my homeboy did. Lamar was the MVP last year. He went to his home. Did that.
Starting point is 01:03:42 That's what made Brady, think about Brady. Brady's going to people's home and did this he went to my home boy home and did that he went to Rogers home
Starting point is 01:03:50 and did that yeah yeah he did it's a little something special when you go to you and you take your show hey
Starting point is 01:04:00 we used to say they got to take this show on the road but oh man Hey, we used to say, they got to take this show on the road. Oh, man. Repeat. Probably won't ever see it again. I don't think you'll ever see it again, Ocho.
Starting point is 01:04:19 If it don't happen now, because like I said, the 49ers got the closest. They won back-to-back, lost an NFC Championship game to the Giants with Roger Craig fumbling the football, and they kick a field goal. You know what, Cal? I'm going to answer this when they play. If they lock horns in two weeks, I got your answer. Hey.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Hey. Yeah. I got something funny. Hey. Hey. Yeah. I got something funny. What's that? You want to hear it? Yeah. Hey, chat, y'all listening? Pay attention when I say this, okay? You ready, huh? Yeah. Y'all hear me, Jordan? Why is 69
Starting point is 01:04:59 afraid of 70? Why, Ocho? Because they fought in 71. Lord have mercy. Huh? Yeah, I can tell you got a nap today, huh? Hey, chat, don't let Ocho sleep no more y'all call
Starting point is 01:05:28 and wake his ass up Patterson Yanzi said Uncle Ocho it's been 10 years to the day since Dan's caught it we still haven't recovered Ocho did Dan catch it? That was a catch against the Cowboys. He made two steps, two steps,
Starting point is 01:05:53 and if anything, it would have been a fumble and a touchdown because he rolled into the end zone. By the letter of the law, that was the Megatron. Because remember, Megatron caught the same play against the Bears, and was the Megatron. Because remember, Megatron caught the same play against the Bears. And he tried to get up.
Starting point is 01:06:10 He caught it and tried to get up. And tried to get up using the ball. Using the ball. And they said no. So once they said, once he replayed it, and I saw, I said no,
Starting point is 01:06:18 because in the rule, the way the rule is written, don't you know, if you leave your feet and go to the ground right you must maintain possession of the ball through the entirety of the act in other words get your ass off the guy that had the ball to the rim they later reworked the rule because hold on hold on who caught the ball today oh durbin james James interception. Oh, Cho, I'm thinking, what's the
Starting point is 01:06:45 difference between that interception and the one the Rams had last week? I didn't see the ball hit the ground anyway. I didn't either. I didn't either. But, hey. So, Don Mines Mines
Starting point is 01:07:05 Hey Uncle Note, y'all heard the convo about Ed Reed and Troy as an Eagle fan, what do y'all rank B-Dog during that era? That's a good one I know Troy and Ed is 1A, 1B, depending on, you can switch it either way depending on what you want, whatever your preference
Starting point is 01:07:28 may be, but those two are at the top now I'm not sure that was a good era for football because you had John Lynch in that era, you had Darren Woodson in that era you had B-Dog, obviously you had Ed and Troy that was really a golden era for
Starting point is 01:07:44 for the safety position yeah I would put B-Dog behind like I said Ed for me is the greatest safety I've ever seen greatest safety I ever broke down but I would put him behind there. I wouldn't put B-Dog in front of Ronnie.
Starting point is 01:08:07 People forget about Ronnie Locke. Ronnie first year, Ronnie played corner. Ronnie played corner. Yeah. And I think he had, Ronnie might have had 10 picks. I think he was an all pro at corner. We have to look that up.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Because Ronnie came out in 81. Ronnie was in that draft with, uh, uh, uh, Kenny easily, uh, uh,
Starting point is 01:08:33 Dennis Smith, Lawrence Taylor, single Terry, all of them was in a Ricky Jack. All of them was in that 81 draft. Yeah. And that's crazy. So Singletary was defensive player
Starting point is 01:08:52 of the year. Kenny Eason was defensive player of the year. Ronnie was defensive player of the year. Obviously LT was three-time defensive player of the year. Right. You looking it up? Oh, you did. Q March 22nd. I just want to shout my wife out
