of my Honda Odyssey with all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they hit a bogo. Well, then you got it. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Anthony Edwards has been cleared for on-court activities

and is questionable for game one versus the Spurs on Monday night. Uh-oh. Edwards released a YouTube video on his personal page Sunday morning that included clips of him running on the underwater treadmill. Joe, is this good enough? does ant man coming back does that help does that give Minnesota at advantage

can't can even with ant man back do they have enough to upset the number two seed spurs yeah they got enough if you ask me yeah but with him running on their underwater treadmill they don't give me no good sense of hope that he coming back right now like the first game or second game

you know I think the thing the thing that Minnesota has that they can kind of play with is that, you know, he don't have to play the first two games if you just want to keep it 100, Uncle Ocho, because, you know, you can go in there hopefully hope to try and steal a game in San Antonio. Right. But have Ant Man 100% healthy for games three and four when you're at home, bro. I think that's the most pivotal point.

That'll be the most pivotal point of the season. But can he hit, can they, can they upset the Spurs? I think it's possible, bro. I like what I've seen from the Timberwolves. You know, gritty, hungry team. If McDaniels can stay assertive, you know, continue to play like that offensively and guard defensively. Yeah.

Well, hey, this will be a hell of a series because they both got a bunch of guys who they can throw at you in many different forms and fastest. So I'm looking forward to this. The thing that I agree with you, Joe, the underwater treadmill don't tell me anything because there's no buoyancy. There you go.

You see, the thing is the problem, that ain't running on the wood because you got the water, Ocho, and so you really don't have your body weight running on that. That's why a lot of time they do aquatic training because you're able to do things because you don't have your natural body weight that's pounding. So you're a lot more buoyant than what you would be. Now, if he was jogging on a regular treadmill,

I was like, okay, Joe, I like the size. It is. Yeah, yeah. But that underwater treadmill, we've all been on them. Well, I know you ain't been on Ocho because I ain't got that in Cincinnati. Hey. Ohio, you ain't never ran on no underwater treadmill, Ojo? I ain't never been hurt to get on there, but we had one.

You didn't have to be hurt. You do it for recovery. Now, my recovery, I get in a cold tub, Joe. No, bro. It's active recovery. Me-in- Joe. What?

I like the cold tub from the neck down, Joe. I'm talking about active recovery, bro. I'm talking about, you know, something that keeps the blood flow, keeps you moving. I ain't saying where you're just sitting still in the cold tub. I understand that part. But they're underwater, that underwater treadmill, boy. Yeah. That thing will beaths.

Yeah, we had one. It lower itself down. Yeah. Yeah, I seen some of the ones on it. That's the big joint. Yeah, it was big. You know, it had some of the fellas. And they also had the current that pushed back.

It pushed back on you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I ain't, I never got in there, Joe. Well, I used to lug it. And I thought I was, I thought I was on the beach someday and where I'd be up in there swimming, having a good old time. But it's going to be, it's going to be,

It'd be very interesting to see Rudy and his countrymen going at it. Oh, yeah. Ooh. Okay, hey, the question is, can Rudy slow him down? I ain't saying stop him. Can he slow him down? You saw what he did of Yonkers, didn't you? This is a different.

They too slowly. They got two totally different. Two different. Two different body types, Ocho, two different. Man, listen. Hey, Rudy. Hey, Rudy and cat, I want you, I want to make. Make sure you all hear what Uncle Joe talk about on the show, what y'all can't do because

you're facing Wemby and you got to go see me and B. Show them something different in this series. Cat, I know you're going to see this. Somebody that know you're going to clip it. They tell him you can't go down in the block and give him beating and drumming that work. Show them different. Rudy, I just see you give Yogic hell. Huh?

Every night. And they're telling me not. telling me not because you're going to play the alien now all of a sudden you ain't nobody i should i tell you what if you ask the nix i don't know if they'll be honest who they'd rather play boston or philly it wouldn't have been philly anybody won't put nobody won't see philly right now bro not with imb no son all right oh the same in b that that y'all would talk about he would hurt and he missed 200,000 games huh that in b he was hurt yeah Hey, hold on. The NB that I told you, the reason they paid him, but they paid him because the high

specialty was once he get on the court. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that one. Hey, a cat. A cat. And go bear. Listen to your boy. I'm locked in with you. I believe in you. Let's go. I might be new to this basketball shit, but I'm catching on. I'm catching on. Man, Kat going to have got them V dying in that lobe. So me that thing, bro. Hey, Joe. We won.

What? By my Friday line up, how we said, Cade would need to have more than 29 and a half. Yeah. One. Desmond Bain would make more than two and a half threes. One. Brandon Ingle would score less than 19. Didn't play at all.

That definitely helps. Scotty Barnes would have at least 34, 35, 34.5 points. And what? Rebounds and assists, 34 and a half. He had 46. And Ruy had more than 11.5. 21. Man, what you're talking about?

So if you bet what, hey, if you put down your money with him, guess what? You got your nice little stuff. Got your nice little come up. Hello. Night look come up. Hello. Hello. Nice.

Hey, um, hey, um, hey, y'all got me hype in that, man. What's up? Hey, hey, hey, hey. You know anybody over in New York who worked for the next? Joe, you know anybody? Nah, would you? Yeah, I know some people. What you need?

I'm going to a game because, see, now y'all, see, y'all got me hype. Y'all got me hype. Y'all talk about, y'all talk about that damn. You ain't going to go to no next game. You try to buy your ticket. You ain't, you ain't getting a ticket less than 50 bands. Yes. To sit court side.

50 ban what? Yeah. You know. The sit courtside of the next game. Hey, hey, you had your chance to sit court. side you had it you had it all on time out time out hey that's the hawks nobody want to see the hawks i'm talking about me okay hey we talk about hey we talk about hey we we talk about going to the garden we talk about mad city wings right now do you see who be sitting at the garden

nah i ain't i ain't never seen jerry signfield you see those people to be sitting at the garden yes sir yes sir yeah yeah they're front road I mean, and they play in the sixers? Yeah. So you're all saying, I can't get a ticket because it's me. You can. How much you're talking about to pay for it? You, like I said, you're going to pay at least 50.

Who the owner? Who the owner? Dole. What is that? Dolan? Chris, Chris Dolan? No. James Dolan.

Hey, James Dolan. What's up? It's Ocho, the third half of nightcap. If you could do me a favor, I know tickets expensive. I know somebody going to clip this and send it to you if you can do me a favor when the Knicks play in the garden

I would love to be a guess of yours your plus one. I just want to put my feet on the wood because they told me cat can't do something and I want to witness cat do it. That ain't going to happen. You ain't going to be there part. Don't worry.

Dolan ain't even getting back to you. I'm just going to keep it 100. You don't think so? No, no. You see Spike Lee? Yeah. I mean, you need to see who on the front row at the garden.

Hey, what you're acting like, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Y'all, you're acting like, oh, you can't be front on the wood at the garden, nah, this is me. Yeah. We need to talk about no sloughs, now. You talk about one of the greatest of all time, huh? Okay. What we talk about? Mr. Dolan, prove them wrong for me, baby.

And the real fact, did you say you're the third half? You're like, nah, we're good. Well, I'm only the third half because when it comes to talking this sport, ain't no three half. I come last. It's two. You're a third. you can be a third but you can't be the third half

all right all right look here come on now Professor Professor Sharp I just saying Mr. Dolan holl at your boy All right

it's time for our final segment to the evening It's time for Q and A Come on Mr. Dolan come through for your boy A cat Don't forget what they said about us boy We get to our super chat.

We got six video voice mails from my Discord. Let's take a listen to one of them. Lakers win. I don't know why y'all thought this was going to seven games. Hey, listen, we got gold games. It ain't nothing you got worried about. All right. But listen, no, I got a question for y'all three.

All right will tell us, never accept anything in the win. You win. You win in the loss, right? So has it ever been a time in your careers? Big game, playoff game, maybe a really hard-fought regular season game, where y'all won the game and y'all celebrating the locker room and coach come in and just bust it all up on that

I know it's happened with me I just can't pinpoint a game it's like you know you come in you'll have you've been to won a game but hell a game y'all are supposed to have won by like 15 or 20 and maybe you only won it by two or three because you're messing around bulljaving so I know that doesn't have numerous of times

I just can't pinpoint not one I can't pinpoint one game. But I know that that happens on Wednesday. We always celebrate. He would always say, you know, we win the game. He's like, look, we know we can play, play better, but we'll take, we'll take this win. We'll look at the, you know, look at the tape on Monday.

And when you come in on Tuesday, hey, we can assess it. Yeah. So after the game, after we won, now it's really not too much said. We celebrate the win. Obviously, you lose the ballgame. Everybody's down. Really quiet, really somber. It's Wednesday when you get back.

and they've had an opportunity to look at the film. Yeah. And see what could have been to see all the mistakes that we did make. A lot of the mistakes that we made of stuff that we covered. That's what makes coaches upset. It's things that we got beat on things that we had talked about. We knew they were going to do. And then we knew it in the area they were going to do it.

We knew it at the down there was going to do it. And they did it. And we got beat with it. Yeah. That's when he would get upset. So no, not after the game per se, but come Wednesday, Oh, you're going to hear about it. Ocho, them didn't win too much in Cincinnati,

so they were always disappointed. I won. Hey, Joe, I won. Let's take a listen to this one. Ocho, Joe, you know, I'm always reprim. But let me ask you all this. If SGA win another title, where do we have to put him as far as guard?

all guards let me know you mean it like in this era I think he probably he said all time oh no he ain't going in front of magic and stuff so let's start there you said he not hell no no not not with just two to two MVP two two two two championships but damage you raising your eyebrow up you hear me yes I bra because rate he's on with the efficiency that he plays with. And this might be the toughest run for him, Uncle Ocho, if y'all just want to keep it 100, the fact that I can't see J. Dubb really coming back

and being that guy who they really going to need due to that hamstring. I mean, hell, we all don't have them hamstring injuries. We know how tough they ought to come back from and to be able to play and push off and exert. But I think this will probably be as tough as one. And considering the fact that the spurs are, such a complete team, bro. It's going to be, he got a tough mountain climb.

But, yeah, he's definitely going to raise some eyebrows. If he win a MVP this year and a title, we're going to be like, hold on. That'll be back to back. Oh. And a whole lot of guys have gone back to back, went back to back MVP's and back to back, you know. Titles. LeBron did.

He won't back. He won't back. He won't. He won't. 13. With the heat. Yep. LeBron was the last to do it.

Yeah. Steph won back-to-back MVP's, but remember he lost the unanimous one. He didn't win finals MVP, though. No, no, no, no, no. So LeBron was the last, LeBron was the last to do it. Probably Jordan before LeBron

when, I'm trying to think, when Bird, Bird won MVP in 84, 85, 86, but they didn't win They never won back-to-back titles. They won in 81, they won an 84, they won in 86. They didn't win in 85. The Lakers won in 85.

As a matter of fact, and Kareem was the finals MVP in 85. That was also the year of the Memorial Day massacre. You remember that Joe, they ended up losing. I think they lost by about 30 plus points. They got blown out 148 to 114 or 14th or something like that. They got crushed. Damn. And Kareem ended up winning the final.

if my memory serves me correct, I feel very comfortable saying that. But Bird won MVP, 84, 85, 86. He's the last guy to win three consecutive MVPs. He was the finals MVP in 84 and 86 because Cornbread won it in 81. 85, Corrine was the finals MVP. 87 was Magic.

88, with James Word. that was the finals MVP. Asher real quiet, she's mad. Wow. Is you right? She's like, go to the next voice man. I don't know why. I'm just like off the top of my head. That's 40-some years ago. So that, so 85 was the Memorial Day massacre, right?

They lost 148, 114. And Kareem ended up, and they ended up, they ended up winning. I think they end up winning a series in like four or five or six games. But to win finals MVP, to win the MVP in the regular season, win back-to-back titles and be finals MVP, boy, that put him in some elite company, man. Owee, they do.

That put him in some elite company. They do. Break back what? Don't know. Oh, bro. To break back bread. bread coming back all right let's go

let's take a listen to our next one what's good uh-oh-o-iso yo yo yo yo I was I'm a baseball player

I got some I want some tips y'all want to get in that baton cage before y'all shoot that episode because I definitely need to see that you can't give me hype about baseball

and then we ain't going to play shit a man shout out shout out to Arkansas baby I'm Bluff native. Already.

I already know. I can not hit Joe and Ocho. You don't believe that. Keep it 100. Just keep it 100, man. It's okay. It's okay. Joe.

What last time you swung a bat? I swung a bat the other day with my four-year-old. Yeah. Yeah, hey, he'll jack all trade. He do a little bit of everything. We play baseball. We play soccer, football, basketball. Yeah, it's everything up.

Hey, I just look like this, huh? Hey, hey, I'm telling you, I know I can outbat you too. No, you bet out-a-o-oh-cham. Only one, there's funny, only one of us has a baseball background. So I'm not even going to indulge myself in this conversation. I'm going to let you two talk about it. I'm going to let you two talk about it. Because when it comes to that, I ain't any point to even talking.

That's like, Joe, you're telling me you better than me in football and soccer or ping pong or tennis. You already said, you already said that you can't hit no. baseball on Ocho, you said it came out of your job. I said 95 to 100 miles an hour in the batting cage and neither one of y'all can't even. You said 85. You could hit 80. You said I ain't even going to try. I can hit it. I mean, I haven't.

Joe, no, you can't. How many times? How many tries do you need? How many tries you need? You know, it's going to take you 30 minutes for your hand and I coordination to get together to see the goddamn ball. Man, everybody know you on swing at the first pitch, partner. Oh, here you go. Everybody know that.

Everybody knows. Hey, hey, all. Now he, now. Now he's acting like he in the middle of a goddamn game. Yeah, everybody knows. And now he's Tony Gwyn, huh, Ocho? Hey, hey, hey, set it up. I bet I outdo all these boys. These boy can't see me and nothing for real.

I got to be careful because you know my meniscus, so my knee, I got to get me a knee brace. There you go. Hey, hey, Joe, ain't nothing wrong with my knee, so I'm ready. Okay. All right. I ain't nothing wrong on my knee. Okay. Yeah, I got to, see, I bet left-headed.

Oh, do you really? I got to wait at my knee heel up. Let's take a listen to our next one. Yo, what's going on? Uncle Ocho, Iso. My name is Caleb. Today I'll be graduating with my master's degree in jazz performance from Florida State University.

Ocho, I know you love jazz. So next time you're in Tallahassee. Hit me up, hit me up. I just want to thank you guys for all the jokes and all the laughter and just get me through this degree, really, because sometimes I need a break in a breath of fresh air from all the studying I've been doing. So the past six years between bachelor's and master's degree, I've been watching nightcap and just watching you guys.

Get trust me gives me so much joy. Just the case y'all want to give me a little present for graduation, I got three walls that need some jerseys signed by you three. So if you guys feel in your heart to sign some jerseys and send them to me, I'll send you my contacts. And so I want to thank you guys again. All jokes aside. And yeah, keep doing your thing. Appreciate that, man. Congratulations.

Yes, sir. Congratulations. I'm glad you like, I glad you like jazz. You hear me, boy? Listen, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, man, Duke Ellington.

Man, I can take it back all the way back. Let's Theonist Monk, Billy Holiday, boy, don't get me started when we talk about jazz. Now you're talking about language. You hear me?

Yeah. Congratulations, young bull. Congratulations. And I'm going to catch you. I'm going to catch you out there in Tallahassee. Now I'm going to come up there to watch our family. You and March of 100. I need to take me to some jazz spots out there.

Yeah, yeah. All right, let's take a listen to the next one. What up? What's up? Oh, show. And still, whoopi. I got me some nice sausage and bacon right here. So, tell me why in a must-win game, Cid McCollum is dropping 11 points.

I put it in a parlay for him to get at least 21. Why I go bowling, right? I look up at the screen. I see, damn, they got a mixed-a-hawks game up here. It's the second court. I see Docson Daniels sitting. I'm like, what are he in for? He justified.

Why y'all lose the 77 to 22? But for the half? What? Man, it's going to be a rough couple months to you, Joe. I know it's already been rough. Raised and back, lost, half, lost. You probably done Ocho some money to Ocho for to lump you up by that.

And Oto open the game so fucking. Man, King Shee, man. That's what it is, man. Joe, be long money. Damn, that's what we on? Hey, you're right by that, young, boy. Hey, yo, boo, you're right, man. I'm going to lump him up.

I'm going to have him look like Martin on that goddamn episode, huh? Lumps everywhere, boy. This is why everybody going to have a hell to pay. My hogs lost, my hawks lost. Yeah, somebody got to pay for this, okay? Hey, hey, you know what? And we're going to continue that losing streak. It's going to start with you.

I ain't going. You're going to finish it out. I ain't going, pot. I guarantee you that, play, boy. I ain't going. I guarantee you that. I ain't going. Yeah, I ain't going.

I know you're an uncle over there trying to team up. up on me, but I got something for both of y'all, boy. Hey, I can't got nothing to do with this, what is me and you? I do got something to do with this. This is me and you. He got my Louis Vuitton basketball all over there. Okay. Oh, you're, that ain't gonna get it.

I'm gonna keep it 100. Hey, as a matter of fact, Ocho, I'm gonna take that cue off off him. Oh yeah. I'll take that cue off. Hey, hey, hey, if you beat me, I give you my cue, but that ain't happening. That ain't happening.

That ain't have me. Hey, man, take that Michael Jackson glove off his ass, too. Let's take a listen to the next one. Also, And still, can we talk about how there's more of an expectation for a 41-year-old basketball player to beat the Rockets without his stars

than it is for a three-time MVP and Yokic to get bouncing the first since one with the expectations that lopsided. Anyways, peace out.

I mean, I can answer that. I don't even watch basketball like that. You say what? It's, it's different. I mean, I understand the comparison with Yokch and LeBron, but that's, we talk about the chosen one.

We talk about King James. We talk about the one that was anointed when he was born. me. We talk about Gloria James, son, right? That one? Yeah. Savannah husband. He's held to a different expectation. He chooses to play this long in his career. Yeah. You know, so therefore, we're expecting him to look like, you say it all the time, huh? We don't judge LeBron on how he looks right now. We're judging LeBron on what he looked like before in his prime throughout. So we're expecting him to always play at that level

Regardless of how old he is. I glad you said that. So why didn't they judge Jordan like that when he was in Washington? Huh? Yeah. Why didn't they judge Michael Jordan to the standard that he was playing at in Chicago when he was in Washington? Well, you just asked me a question, uncle, I don't know the answer to.

Hold on. I said they don't compare great players to other great players. They compare players to the older selves. Yes, sir. Why wasn't Michael Jordan? because everybody said, everybody knows he was going to go. He's supposed to win with anybody.

Yeah. Yokic, Yokic is not 35, Yokic is 29. If LeBron James, LeBron James coming off three MVP's in four years, had lost in the first round

to a team without their best player. They had crucified him. Yeah. He's held to a different standard. I just want to know that. Huh? They say he, hold on. How the guy held to a different standard

when everybody say he ain't the top 10? Some people got him at 9. Some people got him at 11. Some people got him at 13. So why would you hold a guy? That's the 9th best player. The 11th, the 13th best player. He's a choke.

He's this. Why would you hold him to a standard that you don't hold any of other great players to? Hey, because they like, they like the conversation. They like the dialogue going back and forth, knowing absolutely how great he, is knowing when it comes to

want to come to picking who's the goat and who's the best, it only comes down to two people and it's based on preference. Now, if you want to nickpick, you run down accolades and resume and how long someone played and what they did in a short amount of time in their careers. It's always comparable, but it's always going to be one and two. It's either going to be Jordan

or can be LeBron. And everyone would have a dialogue on the conversation on why they support whoever it is that they choose. Okay. Why didn't they hold Kobe? In your 17, 18, your 19, you're 20, Why didn't they hold him to the standard that would he play that in his prime? Kobe's a better than LeBron.

That's what they tell me. Michael's better than LeBron. That's what they tell me. So why weren't they held to the same standard that we're holding LeBron to? Kobe played 20 years. So why in year 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, why wasn't he held to the standard that we hold LeBron? Why wasn't Jordan when he went to Washington? Those two years, why wasn't he held to the standard?

That's all I want to know. You can say, I don't care, Shannon. They're still better than LeBron. Why weren't they held to the standard? Why weren't they expected to not only make the playoffs, but I want to hear them Laker fans. We're the Laker fans that with all this like LeBron need to get traded. I'd be glad.

Be Scott. I'm going to need you to come on nightcap and explain because you say you wish you was gone. You do realize if LeBron wasn't on that, when Luke and AR got hurt, there'd have been no playoffs. You wouldn't even made it in the play in. So I need all of them Lake of Farrant to talk about he need to go, he need to go,

now look at you. So again, this is for you, Joe, this is not for you. Ocho. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kobe played 20 seasons. So why in year 15, you're 16, you're 17, you're 18, you're 19, you're 20,

why was he not expected to get to the NBA finals and win? See, that's not fair. you're not expected to win a championship in Washington. I need somebody explain that to me. Hey, I like that you asked me that. See, that's a handicapped question for somebody who didn't watch the game back then. That's not fair.

I understand. I understand how great Michael Jordan was. I understand how great Kobe was. But I ain't start watching basketball until I had to come on nightcap. Chad, I need y'all to explain to me. Chad, y'all know. Y'all, some of the foremost authorities, y'all been watching the game of basketball a lot longer than I have. I need you to explain why was Kobe never held in your 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20

to the standard which y'all held, LeBron. Why was Jordan? Did anybody like, hold on, Jordan, he played two years. Yeah. People said, oh, that was your ceremony. So it didn't even matter. So if he'd won a championship, would it have mattered? Yeah, yeah.

Would it? Of course. Yeah. I saw people say, oh, what, when my, hell, I was in my early 30. I was in my 30s, late mid 30s, 34, 35 when Jordan was in Washington. I heard people say LeBron James are never going to be able to play like this at age 40. What Michael's doing right now in 40, LeBron will never be able to do. Are y'all sure about that?

I got time. We got about 15 more minutes. I think it's the hate that LeBron gets. gets is from his longevity in the game fellas you know he they they they crucify him for their uncle ojo because he got because he got all the records oh he ain't he ain't the best score that shit he got the most points yeah he top what three four and assists when he's done he's gonna probably gonna have them to every record in the book so So when they watch him, when they watch him compete and play Uncle Ocho, the standard that the fans hold him to is a lot higher than what they held MJ and Kobe too.

It is. I have a question. What's up? When things went bad for Jordan, did he ever leave? You remember he retired? He retired twice. He retired twice. You remember that, right?

I said, did he ever leave? He left. He left the game of basketball, yes. I'm just saying. He left the game of basketball. Did he go to another team? He went to the game of basketball. He went, yes, he left the team.

He went to the Chicago Black Sox. He went to the White Sox, excuse me. Did Kobe ever leave a team? He tried. He asked to get traded to Chicago Bulls. He did. He did. He wanted to get traded.

He did. Asked for a trade. Something LeBron never did. Hmm. Okay. Anything else you want to know? I got a little time about it. I'm just asking questions to get a better understanding

on why people feel the way they do about LeBron. So you ask me a question I don't know because my knowledge of the game is not like that. I'm just started watching. Because in their heart of hearts, LeBron James is the only one that's ever been compared to Michael Jordan. Yeah. He's the only one.

Only one. We have never said in the history of sports, a guy with one regular season MVP was even considered the greatest. Right. They've always had more than one. Yes. More than one. They make it seem like LeBron got no titles.

Even before Jordan even won a title, they labeled him the greatest. Magic and Bird had all the titles in the 80s. They won eight of the 10 that was contested. Right. And they said Jordan was the greatest. With no rings. With no rings, they labeled him the greatest. because of his plate

so if that's all it takes then so why are we talking about rings then because they're so why did he mention the 6 and 0 because of the plate why we mention 6 and 0 hey you know they love to move the goalpost depending on who and what they're talking about

hey I'm just saying they move the goalpost depending on who and what they're talking about that's the only thing I can think of he played I mean look what he did I mean what he average 23 points 8 and 7 23 8 and 7 something like that The oldest player to lead a series in scoring. At 41?

And people say, when you break, no, it's the fact when you even the mere fact of the man is 41. Who picked the, hey, I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think Mark Spears was the only one to pick the Lakers to win the series. Everybody else said to the Rockets, ain't no way a 41 year old can lead a team to a victory to lead this team to a series win. Hey, but we can't do. We can't use the 41 excuse when things don't work out. Ocho, we use it when he's,

Ocho, he's 41. Let me ask you a question. Name the player in the NBA history that's never played at this level. We can't. Do we not give Jerry Rice credit for? catch a 40 to catch a thousand yards at age 40. 42, wasn't he? 42. No, he retired at 42, but he had a thousand yards receiving at age 40.

With Seattle. Yeah. Yeah. Damn. Why? Because he's doing something. What, Ocho? Nobody has ever done.

Speaking to your microphone. Something that's never ever been done before in the history of the game. Yes, sir. Okay. I was happy. Chad, I was happy about sometimes when I've been around with Ocho for three years now, sometimes I can finish your thoughts for it. Yeah.

I mean, I'm just, I'm just listening. I'm just listening. I'm just listening. Listen, I, I like, I like all of them. You know, I'm a LeBron. I'm a LeBron fan. I'm a Kobe fan. Hell, I'm a Jordan fan, you know.

So I mean, I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm liking to hear the differences on why people feel the way they do when it comes to LeBron or why they feel the way they do when it comes to Kobe. Why they feel the way they do when it comes to Michael George? I'm still, I'm still learning that stuff. The people in the change. chat, they know it all. They've been enjoying the game of basketball probably since birth.

Joe, I'm only in year two of this thing, Joe. Yeah. I'm only in year two. Yeah. Now, we're talking boxing, Joe. Boy, I can talk from A to Z, boy. We talking football? I can talk from A to Z.

Now, we're talking soccer? Hell, I can talk for 24 hours straight. You know, we're talking tennis. We talk a little track? I can give you something. Basketball? Ooh, that's my weak spot, Joe. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm, it's okay. I could admit that. You know, some people want to admit that. They try to act like they know it all. I don't know it all, especially when they come to this. If I'm learning on the fly.

I'll make a case for you. If I like you, there ain't nothing you. Look at it right now. Do we see what's going on? We see what's going on in the world. We see where our economy is. We see what the prices are. It was supposed to be no more war.

We jumped into another needless, endless war. And what? Because we, they like it. President Obama had a Starbucks coffee in his hand that's beneath the president he had a tan suit on

yes sir that's beneath the president oh yeah I remember that hey they went crazy by that tan suit but he would clean his hell that day wasn't he boy he was sharp that day you see

I like you Ocho you can't do no wrong in my eyes but if I don't you can do no good in my eyes that's just the way it is and you got to understand I think it's more difficult now. Even if you say, let's just say for the sake of argument,

the game is not more difficult. This May, IHeart Radio celebrates Asian Heritage Month. Discover powerful stories, vibrant cultures, and unforgettable music.

That was it. That was it. Omar Sadee. K will dominate. Scotty was the best player in this series with all due respect. You think you'll, you think K will dominate this series, Joe and Ocho? Shoot, he's been dominating.

He's one person you could always count on to get his, huh? Hold on against Cleveland. Yes. Yeah, he's going to dominate. Meaning, I think he know exactly what we've been talking about. Mm-hmm. It's Detroit going to have a hard time winning if he's not putting up special performances. Period. Point Blaine.

You know, you just got to hope that Tobias Harris can stay consistent. That's it. I think he's the key. That's the biggest key. I think he's the key, Joe. I honestly do. Yeah. The man's own killer, Uncle Ocho, y'all.

hype these NBA playoffs. Let me find out y'all like it more than NFL. Now, I'm joking. I know football still y'all first love. But you have to, the thing is is that we had game sevens. You do realize the NFL playoffs, every game is a game seven.

Yeah. Ain't no series on Joe and Joe. You're right. Every game is a game seven in the NFL postseason. Yeah. That's why the people love it so much. Because you can be the best team and not, the best team will probably,

it's hard for the best team to lose four times. Yeah. But one time... That's why the series. I don't know if you remember this joke. The series used to be the best two out of three. The first round was the best two out of three.

Yeah. The second round was the best three out of five. It was only the conference finals and the finals were the best four out of seven, oh, Joe. So you know why they moved them all to seven games? Hello? Hello?

The same reason they add. more playoff game. The same reason they're trying to add another NFL football game, oh, Joe. Hello. The bottom line has always been the bottom line. Huh?

The bonus in the five, and the penalties, you got three shots to make two. So you used to shoot three free throws to try to make two. So if you made the first two, it was all it was done and boy. You're good.

But if you miss the first one, you got two more to try to make another that try to make two. Yes, sir. But that's before y'all time. Y'all don't remember that. Flat attendant. Defense and grid.

Cade is in the mix, Pistons and Six. Kade could have definitely played with the bad boy Pistons. He got the right demeanor. He got it. He got it. He got the right demeanor. He went to the right team. He got it.

Definitely got it. Pat Dove, don't forget, fellas, Detroit players know the next series is personal for J.B. Bickerstow. Oh yeah, because that's where he, that's where he come from. Oh, yeah. You don't think, hey, hey, he for sure put that on them boys, mine. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They got them up out of their prematurely.

Yeah. Hey, guys, I want to see this fishing tournament. Maybe Prime can host it. What are you guys' personal best? I ain't used to catch fish to put on the wall. I can't, we used to catch fish to put the damn pan. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. My grandma, I think she got a an eight pound, ten ounce on the wall, maybe nine pounds or something. Damn. Yeah, I think she caught, she caught him. And she had called my aunt when my sister picked up from the pond

because my sister used to take her and drop off and she'd go fish, she fish by herself. My sister came, my sister come back to pick her up. She said, ooh, let me look what I caught. She said, Carl Topp, that's my aunt, her daughter Jane, said, called Topping and hug Rex to come

get him, they can cook him and eat him. Sleepy said, no, Granny, that's going to go on the water. She said, no, they can eat this. She said, no, Granny. She said, well, they're bigger fish in there than that. Sleep and said, Granny, you ain't never caught one, though. She was going to give it to my uncle and aunt

to eat it. I'm not supposed to say, nah. It's going on the wall, granted. To this day, it's it's is the delivery room on the wall. Damn. But I don't know how big it's called. I know I can beat these two just on my screen right now.

That's what I do know. I don't think, you don't say that. You ain't saying that with enough confidence for me. I don't think. I know for show. For show you could beat Ocho. These two guys that's on the screen with me, I'll beat hell out of them fishing.

Now, we can fish, we can fish with bait. We can fish with Shonnas. We can fish with cut bait. We can fish with brokeback, jigs, whatever. I don't care what kind of bait you got. I don't bet you name it all this goddamn bait. That ain't going to change the end result. You still going to lose.

You still going to lose. Do you know what cut bait is? I don't need. You still going to lose. I'm going to use earthworms. How about that? That's all I'm going to use. You're going to use red wigglers or losing.

Hey, listen, I'm going to use earthworms. I'm going to use nothing else. And I'm going to still beat you. You don't know what. to throw that goddamn line. I know what to throw that line. You don't know what to throw that line. Huh?

You ain't never been fishing. You ain't never been fishing. Since 80s, man, what you're talking about? Hey, Joe, what do you talk about, Joe? He ain't the only fish, huh? Hey, hey, hey. Man, you know what? Hey, look at the wrong.

Look at it. You see it? Ain't it. Ain't it. Ain't it. Hey. Hey. Hey.

Hey. He had told off. You got a bad boy. Hey, Ocho, you cast like this, Ocho. Ocho, you cast. Huh? Just a little flick of the wrist. Oh, no, that's how you cast.

I cast my elbow. Better go catch a damn thing, Joe. Hey, this is an easy win for me. I'm just keeping 100. Easy win for me. I can fish. That's what I do know. Okay.

First of all, are we fishing for anything in particular? we fishing for anything that bite. Just let me know, Joe, what we're fishing for. We fished for small, long, hold on, we're fishing for. We're fishing for. Where we fishing at?

That's the most important part. We worry about what we fishing for. Where are we fishing at? Then we can talk about what we fishing for. If we're all the pins, if we deep sea fishing, I mean, we're going to catch, we're going to catch what? Catching, what? What you're fishing for?

Grupper, sniper. Hey, I want a Goli, I want a Goli grouper. Oh, man. Man, you know, why I want a big ass fish for what? just to say I called it? And then put him back, yeah. We go, we go sheep hair, drum, spot. What we, what we're fishing for, Joe, Joe.

Hey. We're fishing for wall out. I mean, I'm just trying to tell me whatever you want to fish for, Joe. How about, how about we make it easy? How about we do this? How about we don't eat that day? And we don't eat unless we catch something. I'm all for that.

Now, yeah. I'm all for that. Yeah, I bet, I bet you get serious about it then. you don't eat unless you catch something. Lord have mercy. I'm all for it. Listen, Lord, Lord can't help you here. Lord can't help you here.

He walked on water, but he can't help you here. Hey, hey, boy, this is going to be a sight to see. I already know, I already know you. They want to take some live groupers. Well, catch a black grouper. Hey, hey. I'm from Miami, huh?

I grew up on the water. at the water, round the water. I did everything except walk on water. I didn't tell you about fishing. Hey, tell her, hey, tell you, a wade in the water. Huh? You was wade in the water, wait.

Man, been doing this. Only person got baptized, only person got baptized three times because the shit keep wearing off. Exactly. On joke. And K. Fish and lick. Born by the water, born in Miami.

You could walk out of his house and stepped right into the ocean. And K fish and lick. Right. Right. As a matter of fact, Joe, we can set deadlines. How do you want to fish, Joe? Whatever you want to do? Man, listen, that's why I'm saying.

Y'all steady coming up with all these differences. It don't make me no different, baby. Let's you get out there and throw that thing out there. I bet you I catch more than y'all, and I bet you I catch the biggest one. Hey, whatever. You use a cane pole if you want to. Whatever, Joe. We can use a 33, Zepko 33, 8, 2, 8.

I don't care. We can get 8. Whatever. Hey, you see how I, hey, A, Joe. You see our unk naming all the baits and all the rods and all the lines and stuff. Come on each, Joe, he the type to come hoop at the park and have on the whole joy in outfit with the shoes and all. What they call me Shannon Van Damien. If you don't think about fishing, they've only been a handful of guys that's run the classic at least four times.

KBD and Rick Klon. And, hey, and you saying you in that conversation? What? Yeah, okay. I got to see it. She ain't got nothing on me. KBD, Bill Dance, Roland, all of them. I got to see.

None of them. I got to see it. I'm him. I got to see it to believe it. It sounds good. I got to see it to believe it. You got to show me, man. I plan on it.

All right. Say less. Say you like. And I know, Ocho, you don't even know how to clean no fish. Oh, not a clean no fish. Boy, I scale a fish like a woman. Boy, don't play at me. Huh?

What you're talking about? Don't play, don't play it. Don't play any, don't play any, but I don't clean a fish. Well, I do a damn fish. Huh? From head to, I'm, from head to a toe. Why don't play at me?

You hear me? Hey, Joe, from the face to that, from the tail to the eyes, boy. Huh? I don't play no games. Okay. I do no feet. All right.

God bless night care, fam, I got a miracle question. What do we say if God, Go LeBron James, eliminate OKC. It'll be the biggest upset in the history of basketball. I agree, considering the fact what he's up against, without the leading score in the NBA on his team, hell yeah. T.S. Carwice Detail Service, my grandfather told me,

you want to mess with me. You better get a coat because it's going to be a cold on the floor. That's what I'm saying, Ocho. Y'all, look here, I don't even, like, when it comes to stuff like outdoors and stuff, I just eliminate Ocho. Right. I said my aim on you, Joe. Right, because I'm the one person, the unknown.

You don't know, you don't know what you're going to get. Well, I think of you from Arkansas, you might have did a little fishing. You might have did a little hunting. Oh, oh, man. Hey, hey, me and my partners, you know, shout out Mr. Greenwood. he used to, we should skip school, just go fishing the whole entire day, man. Yeah.

So, so I just want you all to know, bro. Hey, I ain't like it that much. I ain't for the lie. Yeah. That's, hey, man, I ain't trying to hear them old ass story from 1950, boy. All right. I ain't trying to hear all that, man. All right.

Well, we seen what happened last time we all got together. Ain't anybody trying to talk about that old stuff? Oh, now that's old. Hey, update your resume. Update your resume. What have you done? What have you done to me lately? Nothing except talk.

You ain't did a number of the, the last thing you did good was bet on the goddamn Hawks to beat the Knicks in the series and they lost. Yeah, and they ain't have to pay. I bet it. And you can keep that little $500.

I can't do that little change. Damn right. So he bragging about not having the pay. Yeah. You said the best thing he did with the last was bet on the Hawks and he said, yeah, I bet on them and I ain't got to pay.

Yeah. Damn. I told him he can keep that little chain. You keep that little chain. You said you ain't had no choice, but let me keep my little chain here. Yeah, you keep that little chain, man. Get you some gas, use that for some gas money. Thank you.

Yeah, use that for some gas. Yeah, I will. I will. Yeah, yeah, that's your best bet. But I tell you what, we go and fishing before we start next football season. Say lea. Say let, I'll be ready.

I'll be ready. Took my little bro game, took my little bro to game seven, the calves. with the electric loudest game I've ever been to. As a former player, how much does a way games truly affect you? I love a way game, boy. In the postseason, bro, listen, I played in a few games sevens on the road, Uncle Ocho, and, yeah, it's pretty intense, bro. Like, you can feel it, you can see it, you understand what it is,

and tonight was definitely electric. So it was fun to watch. But, yeah, I know the anxiety that it brings up. amongst you, you know, before the game, and after the game, after you get their win, well, that's a sign of relief. For sure. Yeah. I think there's less pressure playing on the road than there is playing at home.

No question. No question. Ill Magic. Y'all think Toronto would have beaten the calves if they had Pascal Seaccom. Man, Siakum been gone for so long, man. They had Bia. But B.I. hadn't played his best basketball in this series? They probably would have beat them all.

If they had B.I. Pascal. Pascal. I'm saying because he's not only a score, he's a great utility guy. He don't do, he don't just score, you know, solid defender. Yeah. Plays the right way. Plays hard as I don't know what.

So if they'd have had him, possibly. Big three. Love you guys. Broncos fire sale the Celtics team fire sale he's like are they going to be selling a look j b and j t are coming back the question is what are they going to do uh derrick white makes a lot of money i think they got preton pritchin tied up uh i don't know what quato situation is they re-signed houser he's back he'll be back but i don't really know the move the pieces that they can make. I mean, it'd be very interesting if J.T. had a play. Yeah.

Yeah. So I think by them getting healthy and coming back next year, I think that's the biggest key for them, bro. It's hell. Because if Jason Tatum would have played, yeah, you're right, Ocho. We don't know what the hell would have. All right. Kay, you mentioned and undisputed that you paid for your latest divorce. I know there's a back story. How about those sixes? you pay for her divorce the story was look this chick was getting

the divorce he found out she was dating someone he didn't know it was me but she found out she was dating someone and he wanted all the money that was in the bank account she wanted to split it yeah he wasn't on the sign

to the divorce papers until she gave him all the money I asked how much was in the account she said it was this much I said here. Damn. And he signed the divorce papers. Damn.

What that's some players. A boy. That's some players. That's some players stuff right there. Huh? I mean, and people like, oh,

I'm trying to figure out when guys are buy their girlfriend of G-wagon off the rip, get them a condo or place off the rip. I'm trying to see I mean, what's going on?

Same thing. Well, that's the same thing. Well, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's the one percentage that do that. That ain't, it ain't everybody. Right. No. It's a select few that's able to do that off the rip. But there is only a select few that would be able to say, well, you want a divorce.

I want to be with you. He's not, he's haggling over this. Okay, well, here you go. Okay. Okay. I like that. I was that percent. Hey, okay.

Oh, talk. Okay. Oh. I don't talk your shit, right? I'm not, I don't, I don't listen. I don't go back, look, I mean, I don't really go back and forth. If I like you, I don't care nobody. The simping and all that other stuff.

If I like somebody, I'm, I want to be with that person. Right. Yeah. I'm going to do for that person. It's really that simple. Yeah. All that other stuff, I don't let, I don't let what somebody else, well, I wouldn't do this. I wouldn't do that.

Okay, that's fine. That's you. You wouldn't. And I don't begrudged somebody. that won't do something for their lady. I don't begrudge somebody that does an enormous amount for the lady. My situation is my situation.

What you do and how you treat your lady, ain't got nothing to do with Shane. Hello. Hey, boy, you got that money, boy. But I don't got that money on, boy. How much in the count? When I like somebody, hey, it's been situations. Hey, it's been situations.

Hey, if somebody, look, I'm a type of guy if you look, if I rock with you, And if I can help, I'm gonna help. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel you on that. Yeah, that's me, that's me, that's me. But here's the thing.

Joe, the problem is that I know I'm not the only one, but everybody because guys are going to be, oh, man, you're sipping the X, Y, Z, they won't tell you the real story. Hello, hello. But I know the real story, because you've got to realize guys like myself and Joe and Ocho, we travel in circles. Yeah.

Yeah. We know some of the people. And I'm like, bro, come on now. Yeah. We know. We know, we know. We know, we know. How's she driving a G-wagon?

She ain't got that. I know that beauty salon ain't doing that. Yeah. Jay-G, Alan put BTA, K Cunningham is that dude, true game-changer. He absolutely is. He's phenomenal. He's better than I thought. He's better than I thought he would

because watching him at Oklahoma State, I thought he was a good player. I ain't see this, Joe. I ain't going to lie, Joe. Yeah, well, I think he's a lot more polished. He's always been, he's always been poised and patience. You know, with the ball in his hands, okay, oh, Joe, from the time I seen him play in high school. Yeah.

On to college and now to the pros, no difference, bro. He's a big guard who can get to his spots. Obviously, three level score can shoot the three, shoot the midi, get to the cup, bang on you. But he has a nice post game. and I think probably one of the best attributes of his game is getting others involved. Because when he has high assist totals, they're hard to beat. And it makes his job easier because now they can't keep him out of the lane. Now they got to stick to their man.

There you go. There you go. But he has to continue to assert himself, Arcan Ocho, and continue to put their pressure on the defense and make their all attention come to him. And that's how he's able to get those other guys easy shots, get him involved, Tobias Harris's, the Duncan Robbins, the Thompson's, you know, guys of that nature. I think the biggest thing because he always can handle the ball, he could always defend. But I think it's three-point shot, Joe, that's really expanded this game.

It is, bro. It is. It's pretty pure. You give them a good look at it? Yeah. You're going to knock it down. Oh, Joe, you need to take notes so you can dunk on ISO and then hit the two little. Hey, I'm, I'm, I'm, hey, I'm, hey, Joe, I'm a, I'm a, hey, Joe, I'm a catch like Derek Coleman caught Shaq, boy. Boy, please.

You hear me? Boy, please. Hey, Joe, you know I'm bouncy, huh? You ain't, you don't weigh enough, though. That's the problem you're going to have. Joe, I'm bouncy, Joe. You don't weigh enough. I'm a knee on your forehead, boy.

You don't weigh enough. It ain't about weight, boy. Yeah, it is. Joe, that's pretty high. He got his knee on your forehead, Joe. Hey, hey, punk, I'm going to knee him right in his forehead. Oh, I got a question. You think that man can't do all this with no basketball in his hand.

He ain't that damn good. If that's the case, you played the wrong damn sport, partner? No, that I played the right sport. Yeah. I played the right sport. Huh? Yeah, I'm on your ass. Pause.

Hey, Joe. Greedy Bow, damn, um. Uh, no, say, damn that, Ocho. Your ass still sick. Yeah, you got your boys back, but that caught tearing you up. That cop whooping your ass over there. That's what he telling. No, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.

I like Monopoly. Best defender you played against Iso. The best defender I played against,

I'll probably give it to Ron Artis. He's a guy you couldn't play with Uncle Ocho, meaning, you know, even if you had a bag, bro, just give him one move and gone get by his ass. You got to go, honcho. You know, since I'm out there trying to dance on, I'm telling you, you know, some guys just have a great

sense of awareness with their hands and can get deflections, and he's He was one of those dudes, bro. So I understood that early in my career. Yeah, he wasn't no guy I played with. I just, ha, ha, got right by him, got on to do what I would be. Yeah, yeah. Ain't no need to play.

Can we finally put Sam Donald in the top three quarterbacks the last two seasons? Super Bowl rang better. So with that being said, you would take, you would take Sam Donald over Mahomes, Burrow, Jackson, Allen. No, he ain't doing it. Man. I don't look, and I see this where his head at Ocho, that now the Super Bowl ring is the end all be all. Hell no.

Nobody, but when did this happen? Because nobody said Brad Johnson was a top three quarterback when he won a Super Bowl for Tampa Bay. They didn't say it. Nobody said that Trent Dillford was, nobody even said Russell Wilson was a top three quarterback when he won it. I'm, but this day, I guess not rings me.

Me, though, hey, it is what he'll say. Sir Cates, my guys, what matters more in building a champion? A system or a superstar that can break the system? See, you need a... Nowadays in the NBA, you need a star, bro. NFL, I'm going with the system. Mainly defense. Seahawks, defense.
