joe cool said about the 18 game season now 18 games is definitely a big ask that's that's not
easy i feel like adding that that bi-week was pretty critical for for our bodies you know some
teams have the bi week five, week six,
and then you're going 12, 13 games in a row.
That's not easy.
Probably a Thursday night game thrown in there too.
Maybe you could do something like the first bye is kind of how we have it now and the second bye everybody has it at once and you make it like the Pro Bowl week
or something like an all-star break for the NBA.
I don't know.
We'll see how it plays out.
You know, I kind of like that. Did I tell you it plays out. You know, I kind of like that.
Did I tell you that was coming, Ocho?
I kind of like that.
I told you.
I said, Ocho, they're coming with 18 games.
I did not tell you that was coming.
Every time.
The first thing the NFL always talks about,
player safety.
We're doing, we're changing the rules
for the betterment of the players
and their safety.
When you know,
I wish the NFL would just stop playing,
just come out and say it.
We understand what your bottom line is.
We know that. And the bottom line has always
been the same. It's about making
as much money as possible.
So if adding another game is going
to create revenue, just say that.
It's okay.
I think early
on, I think they might have had two bye weeks.
The problem is that
I remember the Chargers one year, weeks. The problem is that I remember the
Chargers one year, they bye week was
the first week of the season.
For real?
Yeah.
If I'm not mistaken,
the league was crazy back
then because one year we played
the Patriots, who's not
in our division, twice.
Played them home and away.
That's weird.
I think it might have been
94 where we had two.
Look that up, Chap.
I think we had two bye weeks in 94.
I think we did.
I like that idea by Joey, though.
That double bye week, if you're going to add another game,
and then have a week where literally everybody's off,
similar to an all-star break in the NBA in between seasons.
I like that idea.
Allowing players' bodies to recover, you know,
allowing the body to reset, allowing the mind to reset,
and any injuries that are going on,
depending on when other teams, I mean, this would be hard to structure
because everyone's bye week at times is at different times.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they got to do that.
They got to do that.
I like that idea a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah, look, but here's the thing, Ocho.
The record's about to get so skewed.
The receiving record, the passing record, the sack record.
Because think about it now.
Do they add a game?
Yes!
Yeah.
Yes!
Yeah, you're right.
Can you imagine another game?
Yeah, they'll take into account that...
No, they don't.
I mean, we... They don't take into account that... No, they don't. I mean, we...
They don't take into account?
We can.
You know, the players.
How?
The ones that have played
because in understanding
there's two added games
or there's an added game.
So when you reach a certain
amount of numbers
after what we played,
what, 16 weeks or was it 17?
Yeah.
We had 16.
So, they're saying in 93 they had two bye weeks.
I remember, like I said, I remember the two bye weeks.
I know we had two bye weeks.
I just, I was off a year.
They reversed it in 94.
But yeah, we used to have two bye weeks, Socho.
With 16 games.
Dang. Dang.
Yeah.
That 18 games sound good, though.
That's going to be a nice check.
But they got to have an answer
for the body.
They got to have an answer
for the mental.
If they have an answer
and a plan for that stuff,
you know, for the players,
if we're always preaching
player safety,
if they have a plan for that,
I think it'd be a good thing.
It'd be a good thing.
Look, look, there's only so much,
there's only so many ways you can create revenue
without increasing the number of games.
Right.
I mean, where are you going to put it?
I mean, I understand YouTube, Amazon.
I mean, you got CBS, Fox, NBC.
I mean, ESPN. But without adding games, remember, I mean, you got CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN.
But without adding games, remember, Ocho, they went to a set.
They did away with one buy, added a separate team to the playoffs.
That's an extra game.
We added 17.
That's an extra 17 games.
So without adding games, where else are you going to create revenue?
Because as you lose advertisers,
obviously others want to get in.
Where does revenue going to come from
if you don't add games?
I mean, you see the NBA,
they're talking about decreasing games.
Baseball, baseball been playing 162
for a long time. So you can't add no more to that. Hell, they're talking about decreasing games. Baseball, baseball been playing 162 for a long time.
So you can't add no more to that.
Hell, they already playing
from late March all the way to October.
So you can't add
any more. But you
see what they did. They added a play-in
game. They added a wild card.
So they've increased it. What
did the NBA do? They had the play-in tournament.
Added games.
7-8, 7-8 play.
The winner is the 7th seed.
Then the 8th seed played a winner, 9-10.
That's the 8th seed.
So we got three games out of that, Ocho.
Look at that.
See what we did?
Hey, I want to know.
I want to know what them numbers looking like, though.
The numbers looking good.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
The NFL is probably doing $20 billion a year.
Woo!
And everybody get a piece of that pie.
You can go.
All you got to do is look and see.
You add another game.
Everybody getting a piece of that little pie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, you can look and see.
You see what you're going to play 20 plus billion YouTube.
Yeah.
You see what ESPN plays, Pace, Fox, CBS, NBC, Amazon paid a billion dollars for the Thursday night package.
They paid $100 million for the Black Friday game.
Where all that money go?
Where all that money go, huh?
They split up between who?
The owners?
The owners, The owners get...
The owners,
just with the TV revenue,
they get a check
for about $300 million.
Yeah.
Now, that's not talking
about local...
That's not talking local TV.
Right.
That's not talking about
tickets,
suites,
merchandise,
parking.
Mm-hmm.
Concession.
So?
So, so,
look,
I'm all for it.
As long as the players,
as long as the players
are getting their fair share,
it is what it is.
I mean,
there's really nothing
you can do about it.
As long as the players
are getting
their fair share,
it is what it is.
It's going to happen.
It's going to happen.
Because here,
Ocho,
they justcho they just
they just did the deal
the collective bargaining deal
three years ago
it ain't been that long
the deal doesn't run out
until 2030
they're already talking
about 18 games
six years left
on this deal
so they already tell you
what's gonna happen
get your mind right fellas
it's coming
it's coming get your mind right, fellas. It's coming. It's coming.
Get your mind right.
So,
that's where they all at.
Ocho, check this out.
There's a pizza rat
on the loose, Ocho.
Watch this video
and what would you...
Check this video out.
Pizza rat?
Look at that.
He eating the toppings
on the delivery man
is eating the toppings.
Oh, man, buddy.
Tripping, what?
See?
How they courting?
How they courting?
There's cameras on the elevator.
I know, but I'm just saying.
Man, buddy.
Man, buddy.
Tripping, man.
Stop playing with me, man.
You eating the toppings
off my pizza?
Matter of fact,
depending on...
If I eat Pizza Hut,
when I order Pizza Hut,
I get sausage
as my topping.
That's easy to pick off.
Yeah, it's easy to pick off.
And I also don't know
if you've been picking off
my goddamn sausage, too.
Because when I open my pizza,
and you know it's
the way the layout is
of a pizza.
Yeah.
And you got sausages missing.
I'd be able to notice that.
Man, buddy, man,
run me my money back, please.
Nah, nah, run this ass with me.
Nah, run this ass with me.
Nah, I ain't finna,
I ain't finna put my hands on you.
Oh, Joe, man, you know,
oh, first of all.
I ain't finna put my hands on you.
Oh, Joe, you already know
you hungry
because you ordered it
and you've been waiting
30 minutes anyway.
Right, right, right. You're like, ooh,
I can't wait to get this pizza. Ooh, ooh.
It's kind of like when you get
the order, you're ready to get
home and eat and guess what
happened? Somebody that made them
mess your order up. So now you're mad.
Now you done waited all this time.
And this mofo, he
pick it. He done put his nasty ass
in. First of all, why you open the box?
Hey, you know what?
I would like, I know his camera's on the elevator.
I'm trying to get down to how did they actually catch him
and let the people know that he was taking
the goddamn food off the people pizza.
I'm sure, I mean, look, the camera probably did that.
I don't know if they let the people know.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Golly, man.
You going to let your customer know that you got a nasty mofo in there?
No.
Listen, if the goddamn people who he delivered that pizza to see that video
and realize, well, wait a minute now.
I ordered a pizza that happened to look like the same person that I tipped
when they brought my pizza in.
I just don't look. I ordered a pizza that happened to look like the same person that I tipped when they brought my pizza in. Oh,
I just don't,
I just don't look.
The first thing they doing,
they going straight to court.
My biggest problem,
and I've had to learn
and I'm getting better at this,
is that I expect people
to behave like I would behave.
And that's,
and my therapist told me, said say shannon that's your biggest problem
is that you expect people to act in a manner in which you would act i wouldn't eat nobody's pizza
i wouldn't put you know you see people spitting in people's stuff and putting their hand in people's
stuff doing because you wouldn't do that so why, why, why take a job,
why take a job and do,
and do people stuff like that?
Why would you do people like that?
That's what I don't get.
Don't make no sense.
That's what irks me.
Yeah.
I,
I just don't,
that,
that,
that,
that bothers me,
Ocho.
It really does.
And you know what they got me thinking about
in high school too.
Remember I told you how
if you got some food in your home
and they walk by, you slap it out your hand real quick?
Yeah.
Hold on.
What about the other one, though?
When you got food in your hand or you got a plate or just something,
they be like, you going to eat that?
And literally touch it?
Oh, yeah.
But see, here's the thing, Ocho.
We already know we playing those.
You remember that?
Yes.
We'll eat that, and then they literally touch it.
All right, dog.
That used to be so, so funny.
Ocho, let me tell you what we used to do.
Even in camp, we grown, we grown-ass men.
I used to go by and take all the peppers and loosen them up.
When they pull the pepper, all the pepper going in.
And all the pepper fall out.
Man, I get it.
They already know.
Hey, you better take that
you better take that
pepper

yeah
I mean how you think
that make me feel Ocho
man but uh You're the culprit. Yeah. I mean, how you think that make me feel, Ocho?
Man. But like I said, man, people, Ocho, people be doing too much.
They really do.
Now, if somebody beat the brakes off you for messing
with their food, because everybody don't play.
That's what I tell people.
Everybody don't play like they play.
Especially food and money. Food and money and people. Food don't play like you play. Especially food and money.
Food and money and people.
Food and money and people, kids.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Man, that ain't nothing but a little bit of money.
But it's mine.
It's mine.
And I don't care if it ain't nothing but a quarter.
Four quarters. That whole dollar. It belong to me. Yeah, that's all mine. And I don't care if it ain't nothing but a quarter, four quarters.
That whole dollar,

Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle. This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that
mountain move without actually diving into that. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to
conquer the things that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best version of yourself
to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being,
and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you to love you fully
if all you're doing is living to please people.
Your mountain is that.

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways.

the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg Businessweek. I'm Max
Chavkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving into the biggest stories in
business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday
lives. But guests like Businessweek editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall
Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull will take you inside the boardrooms,

Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that
they're doing. So listen to Everybody's Business on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming,
how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that
there's 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. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

typing the answer in the chat,
then you like, you look up. No, but
here's the thing.
No, you get, I swear, I put that on my credit.
When you say legacy franchises,
there are only a handful of them.
You got to realize the Lakers started out in Minneapolis.
They were the Minneapolis Lakers.
So now, when you think the Warriors,
they're not a legacy franchise,
although they won a lot, but they moved.
So for me,
the Knicks,
the Knickerbockers,
and like the Celtics.
Right.
So.
All right.
All right.
Then I was going to go with the Bulls,
but I was like,
Knicks, Celtics.
All right.
Here we go.
Three NBA teams
had opposing players
score 60 or more points against them twice.
Three NBA teams had opposing players score 60 or more points against them twice.
Who are these three teams?
This year or in their history?
That's a good question.
That's a good question. That's a good question.
Let's say recently, this year.
Oh, Lord.
Uh. 3 points
60 points
60 points or more
damn damn that's a lot
that is
oh man
I'm seeing
uh
man
this year
this year
I know the Hawks
gave up 73
okay 73 who scored 73 points this year. I know the Hawks gave up 73.
Okay.
73?
Who scored 73 points?
Luka.
Remember after that game,
Joel Embiid scored 70?
You got one right.
Luka scored.
You got one right.
The Spurs gave up 70 to Joel Embiid.
There you go.
That's two right. There'siid. There you got, that's two, right?
There's one more.
That's crazy.
They can have a night like that and then just go right,
right back to being normal again
Whoo we follow
Three ah
Let's go
Oh Oh, my God.
Oh, I don't know the team.
I know Carl Anthony Towns scored 60, and they lost.
I think it was against the Bulls.
Yeah, that wasn't one of the answers.
Okay.
But you want it or?
Yeah, I mean, because I'm trying to think.
I mean, I know Carl Anthony's child scored 60 because he had 60 the same night that Joel Embiid had 70.
Might have scored 62.
I don't know.
Did he do it against the Raptors?
I don't know.
I give up.
All right.
The answer is against the Indiana Pacers, Devin Booker and Giannis.
I took a capunco.
Yeah, Giannis had 60 when they kept the ball from him.
And Devin Booker, I'm assuming he had 60-plus as well against the Pacers.
What you call him?
What you call him?
Who did Carl Anthony Towns score the points against?
Okay, I feel pretty good.
I got three, right?
Listen, you did way better than me because I got the half of my face.
I got one right, right?

No.
Yeah, I went over five?
Over.

Just pledged, just went over, yeah. Yeah, boy, she can go.
She can go. My daughter, Mo she can go. She can go.
My daughter, Mocha, can dance.
My oldest went to New World School of Arts,
so obviously she has a dance background.
She can dance as well.
More traditional, modern jazz dancing.
I think I'm sure she can do hip-hop,
but I'm still the better dancer of everyone,
of everyone.
Definitely me, of everyone. Definitely me.
Definitely me.
Yeah, there ain't no dancers in my family.
I don't know if my kids can dance, I don't think.
I mean, maybe my oldest daughter.
I know me and my brother and my sister.
Whoa.
Now that, you know, I hate to go off topic,
now that you talk about dance and a dream of mine that I wish it could have came into fruition. Obviously,
I love the arts. I love theater. A lot of people might not know this about me,
but my grandmother. My grandmother is one of the reasons why I'm so cultured as far as when it
comes to music, genres of music that I like to listen to, and my love for dance as well.
I'll never forget, 1988, my grandmother took me to the Gussman Theater to see Alvin Ailey Dance Company.
From 1988 up until this point, I have yet.
Obviously, COVID messed everything up when COVID hit.
I've never missed Alvin Ailey once they come to town in Miami. I have a huge, huge fascination with what Judith Jamison put together.
Now I think the director is Robert, wait, is it Robert Bailey?
I might have the name wrong.
It's slipping my mind, but I love.
If you ever get the opportunity to see Revelations, to see them do that piece revelations, or if you want to, you want to YouTube it.
Oh, one of the best. And I've always wanted to perform.
I've always wanted to perform with them.
And just obviously I'm old now.
The moves are still there, but just.
Oh, man, I could I could almost cry.
That's how that's how that's how passionate I am about dance
Lord Day said
Ocho you look like Dobie from Harry Potter
you a Harry Potter fan?
nah I don't know who Dobie is
is he
and don't start me lying hell I don't know who
it is either I ain't watch Harry Potter
here you think I look like Dobie?
man I told you I don't
watch Harry Potter
whoever Dobie is Man, I told you I don't watch Harry Potter.
Whoever Dobie is, he must be some type of
fascinating, sexy
specimen.
If not, it makes no sense on what she's talking about.
I have an uncle we used to call
Uncle Dobie.
DeJuan
Hein said, Uncle Nocho
name one guy
at each of you guys
respective positions
that you feel are underrated
for me
it's Jeremy Shockey
at tight end
Herman Moore
at wide receiver
let me see
underrated
doesn't get the credit
that they deserve
you know what I'm going to go I'm going to go with my fellow my fellow teammate Doesn't get the credit that they deserve.
You know what?
I'm going to go with my fellow teammate,
Taraj.
Houshman Zada.
Houshman Zada doesn't get the credit that he deserves.
Fabulous.
Fabulous.
Fabulous.
Fabulous.
You know who underrated?
Who?
B. Lloyd.
Brandon Lloyd.
Oh, yeah.
Brandon Lloyd. Massively. That's a good one. Massively underrated. I mean, there's so Lloyd. Oh, yeah. Brandon Lloyd.
That's a good one.
Massively underrated.
I mean, there's so many ways.
Think about Ocho if he'd have had the technology glove with the catch he was making back then
with no technology.
With the leather, yeah.
Yeah.
And Brandon probably wear a 2X goddamn glove
man he look like he gotta
wear a 3X yeah yeah he was
good he was good Shockey Shockey was
very he wasn't underrated
it was him is that
the injuries robbed him cause he made
Pro Bowls while he was healthy
it's just that he wasn't able to stay healthy
for an extended period of time
uh that he wasn't able to stay healthy for an extended period of time.
Man, that was a good question.
I like that.
For me, I think for me, Todd Christensen, rest his soul,
I think because he played, even though he went to Pro Bowls, Ocho,
is that he played in the era with Ozzy and Kelly. Right, right, right, right.
And, you know, sometimes it's like,
if you played in the era with Peyton and Brady,
hell, you're a quarterback.
It's like, what year did you play?
Right.
Because it's kind of like they overshadow you.
It's kind of like, you know,
when you play in an era with Jordan,
it's almost like ain't nobody else playing. Ain't nobody else playing. Because they're talking about Jordan, Jordan. Well, you know, when you play in an era with Jordan, it's almost like ain't nobody else playing.
Because they're talking about Jordan, Jordan.
You know, there were other players that played.
Hell, everybody in the 80s
and 90s, unless you magical bird,
is underrated because that was
Jordan. And so if you
play, if you want bird
magic,
in the 80s, people are like,
huh?
Because think about it.
Moses Malone won MVP.
He got three MVPs in the 80s.
Kareem
won an MVP in the 80s.
Won a finals MVP.
But Bird,
think about it. Bird and Magic,
they won six of the 10 MVPs
that, yeah. Moses won two. Bird and Magic. They won six of the 10 MVPs. Damn!
Moses won two.
Doc won one. Jordan.
Ta-da! The end.
So,
yeah, that was a great question.
Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy said,
if you could wake up tomorrow with a new skill or talent,
what would it be and how would you use it?
Ooh! If I could wake up with a new skill and a talent, what would it be and how would you use it?
If I could wake up with a new skill and a talent, it would be
the best. A skill or a talent.
You'll get to have both of them. Damn, Greedy.
Or a skill?
A skill or a talent.
Alright, the skill would be
the best boxer at 147 and 154
and 168.
Well, damn! Greedy! Yeah, because I want to fight but I want to fight Bud. I want to fight best boxer at 147 and 154 and 168. What? Damn!
Yeah, because I want to fight
Bud. I want to fight Boots.
Then I want to go up and wait. I want to fight Canelo.
Then I want to fight Caleb Plant. Then I want to fight
Benavidez. And I want to
beat all their ass.
And that's it.
Why are you laughing?
It's a hypothetical
that's what I want to do
that would be like
that would be like
that's like Mayweather
that's not
well Mayweather
well like
actually
Pacquiao was like
an eight division champ
I think Floyd
is a four division champ
I think Floyd went from
from what
35
40
47
54
Pacquiao went from like
120 to 154.
Roy went from 60, 68, 75.
Heavyweight.
To heavyweight.
Yeah.
Four or five.
Because Roy started at junior middleweight, which is 154.
Another.
Whew.
I don't know if you can go up that high, Ocho.
Wait.
The question was what skill.
If I get the skill that I want and need, I'll be just fine.
I don't know if you can gain that kind of weight.
It's easier to go from the lighter weights up to Pacquiao from 120 to go to 154
as opposed to going from
147 to 200.
My skill is going to be
so impeccable.
I'm going to just fight a heavyweight at
my weight.
Not that size.
You got to be at least...
I mean, not a...
This was the hypothetical.
But you're too small
What you gonna do with Fury?
Who?
At 6'9", 270 and you 147
Yeah, what Fury at?
Don't play at me, man
Don't play at me
If I could have a skill or talent
I want to be able to play a musical instrument
Oh, that's a good one
Now that's a good one
I want to play a musical instrument
That's a good one
The first one, I want to play the musical instrument. That's a good one. The first one,
I want to play the trumpet.
And piano.
The piano.
I knew, yep.
Piano, yeah.
Saxophone.
Alto, tenor, or baritone.
And then the drums.
Well, God,
well, damn, Prince.
No, I'm just saying,
if I want to play,
that's the order.
You can't have all of them.
You totally want to be first. No, I just want to be able to play. If I can saying if I want to play, that's the order. You can't have all of them.
No, I just want to be able to play. If I can play, I want to be able to play a musical
instrument. And I just listed one
in the order. I know I ain't going to be able
to play them all. Right, right, right.
Like Dizzy Gillespie or Brandon
Marcellus.
But yeah,
that's what I do.
That's what I would want to play.
Because I can't fix I can't fix-ish I can't build nothing
I did build
a toolbox and a shot glass
I did make a shirt in home ec
made some
poached eggs
I mean you know
you had to take home
you know
girl couldn't cook a leg.
Miss Odom. Hey, shout out. Rest your soul, Miss Odom.
Miss Odom was my home, was my, uh, was my home ec teacher. Uh, uh, uh,
Wayne Sutton was my, uh, was my, uh, ag teacher, ag one and two,
ag shop. Um, but I, you know, obviously, you know, I was good in Ag because, hell, I worked on the farm.
So I knew all the hogs.
I knew all the cattle.
I knew the pre-emergence, post-emergence.
I knew crop, the rotation.
So, you know, I aced that.
But that's what I want.
If I can have a skill or talent, I want to be able to play a musical instrument.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yep.
Laney Ray said,
if you never played football and made the Olympic team back in the day,
in what event do you think you would have competed well in?
Well, I was a triple jumper.
I was an All-American triple jumper,
so that's what I'd have been good at.
Olympic event.
Knowing me.
I was three-time state champion in triple jumps,
so obviously I think that would have been what I'd have been good at.
Shoot it.
My daughter.
My daughter's good in the 400, 800. That is your daughter. Ain't running for you. You. What would you've been good at. Shoot it. My daughter is good in the 400, 800.
That is your daughter ain't running for you. You. What would
you have been good at? Slowpoke.
Child please. Probably the 200.
Probably the one.
200 or one.
Ain't no way. You running 4-6
coming out. You gonna run. You good at no
100 or 200. I mean it was a hypothetical.
No. Hypothetically
they said hold on. What event would you have competed well?
Right.
4.6, guys, don't run to 100 meters.
Can I ask you a question?
Yes.
You really think I ran a 4.6
just because the time says 4.6?
That's what the time said.
The time said,
have you seen me play before?
Yes.
You know damn good and well
I don't run no 4.6.
I slipped.
I slipped. Listen. I slipped.
Listen, I slipped,
got up, and kept running.
And guess what? And the second time you ran,
they said 4.6 again. I didn't run twice.
My next time running was in L.A. at
Dorsey where I ran 4.3, which is
what I normally run. You ain't run no 4.3.
You ain't run no 4.3.
Can somebody please pull up the footage
where I ran for the scouts
at Dorsey High School?
No.
I'm just telling you,
I ran again.
Okay, check this out.
Robert.
He just said 4.3.
You ain't running no 100 meters
in the Olympics.
Yes, I am.
Yes, I am.
And I'll probably win.
I'll probably be the one
to beat Bo.
Hypothetically speaking speaking if I was training
to run track
what kind of Bo
I'm talking about Bo
Usain
yeah I would have been
the one to bring it home
I'm just telling you
no
I'm just telling you

business out there that he did do one
I wonder how do you go about doing something like that
I don't know either I don't know I guess you have a story business out there that he did do one. I wonder how do you go about doing something like that?
I don't know either.

to put it.
I really don't know, Ocho,
but I'm sure.
Me too.
