Lyons cornerback, Terran Arnold, is facing multiple felony charges after he was arrested in Tampa, Florida, in connection with a robbery in kidnapping early in February. Police say Arnold reportedly orchestrated an armed robbery and kidnapping after believing several people had stolen property from an Airbnb he rented, even though investigators later determined
Starting point is 00:03:06 the victims had nothing to do with the theft. According to police, two women allegedly lured the victim to a Tampa apartment where two armed suspects hiding in the closet jumped out, held them at gunpoint, beat them, and robbed them. Investigators said it said
Starting point is 00:03:22 the attack was live streamed to Arnold, who allegedly gave directions through a group chat before arriving at the apartment while the robbery was still underway. wait. Police say the victims later forth were forced into their own vehicles at gunpoint before being released. Oh, man, what? Hey, they took some from T8, but Tia to turn into John Goddy right there, huh? Oh, Joe, let's just say for the sake of argument, Joe,
Starting point is 00:03:50 for this discussion, let's just say they had taken it. It's insured. Well, we're not sure if it's insured. Because if it wasn't sure, it should be stolen. If you got $250,000 worth of anything, Ocho, and it's not insured. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:12 If it's jewelry, if it's necklaces, watches, rings, automobiles, whatever the case is, you'll bigger them. That's a bigger problem.
Starting point is 00:04:24 But let's just say for the sake of argument. Yeah, go ahead. You're in the NFL, guys. Joe, you're a professional. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:34 See, this is the problem. Keeping it real. Stop keeping it real. You cannot keep it real anymore. When you make millions of dollars, you work your entire life to get in this situation. Why do you need to keep it real? Listen.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Oh, my goodness. Some cats being disrespected and violated, bro. They don't know no other way. you know what I mean I understand what you're saying but some cats there's just a reaction it's like damn hold on those folks on stole from me they didn't disrespect to me they didn't violate me to the utmost degree
Starting point is 00:05:15 some cats bro they don't rationalize like that like you know what I mean they think straight hey boom let me make this play real quick because they got me bent you feel me yes authority said Joe Ocho yeah the authorities say the people that he tied up and beat didn't even do it Hey, you know what?
Starting point is 00:05:38 Also, when it comes to NFL players, you know, I love TA man, the death. And I'm, you know, upset at him. I'm disappointed at him for even putting himself in this situation. But if he doesn't have a level head, if there's something that got stolen from him, the people around him, his entourage, somebody got to be the brains. somebody else has to be the brains. Because when the thought or the motion is high, the solution.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Logic is low. When the solution was to even think about doing this, whoever came with the master plan, that should be like, nah, we ain't doing that. Hell, that was him. Joe, oh, Joe, this is how I'm thinking. If I got homeboys that are willing to do that,
Starting point is 00:06:27 I got to let them go. Because it's only a matter of time. I ain't going to be able to control them because if they'll do that, they'll do that without being prompted by me. And if they're in my circle, who's getting charged? The people like that, they're around you. Joe, you're responsible for them. Oh, Joe, you're responsible for them.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yeah. If somebody, I can't have somebody around me that'll do stuff. But to go get the strap and to rob somebody and to tie him up, if what's being reported is true. Yeah. They say this happened in February. So this was a long investigation. Remember, March, April, May, here we are in late June.
Starting point is 00:07:05 So basically four months. They've done their due diligence, but here's the thing, Ocho. Yeah. When you got the most to lose, you've got to be the most logical. Because when they get pinched, I tell you what, of all those people in that gambling incident, who did they walk out? They named a lot of names. Yeah. Who did they walk out?
Starting point is 00:07:32 the ones we know so when the rubber needs to meet the road they don't want to how many times you have seen somebody hold up a perch
Starting point is 00:07:44 a blue gill a crappy they hold up trophy fishes so in this situation who the trophy T8 I just
Starting point is 00:07:58 I hate that you know look we make mistakes we all you know we put ourselves in a situation and like Lord
Starting point is 00:08:06 I just hope I hope for the sake of argument this isn't true. Through his PR person, they said he categorically denies this. And I hope this is a big misunderstanding. Lord, I hope this young man with so much promise in front of him, I just, I just, I just, I mean,
Starting point is 00:08:28 when did this, Joe, I'm a show, a professional athlete order somebody to get tired, or allegedly order somebody to get tied up and robbed? Hey. And they potentially live streamed it so he could see it and then he came. They don't tell me but one thing.
Starting point is 00:08:48 He's young. He ain't know no better, bro. You know, I'm telling you, he's looking at it from a standpoint that, man, I don't put X, Y, Z amount of money up in this Airbnb. You mean to tell me they then came and stole it? Oh, hell not. Hell not.
Starting point is 00:09:04 He's trying to get his stuff back. He wasn't trying to hear all that. It's crazy. That was a very similar situation. So OJ did the same thing out in Vegas. Remember, allegedly, he was told that they had memorabilia of his and they were trying to sell it. And he ran in there.
Starting point is 00:09:23 And what happened? They ran, they told on him. Yeah. The only difference is he happened to be, he showed up with the food. He up there. They got him listening. Hey, hey, don't let him out of here. Hold it.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I just, man, I hate this young man put himself in this situation if this is true. I really do. Guys, bro, get that stuff in short. If you want to have, you look, everybody wants to, you know, guys want to have nice change, Ocho and jewelry. Yeah. I've been there, had my stuff, you know, and got it taken. And you feel violated, Joe.
Starting point is 00:10:01 You know, Joe, you had the stuff to be broken to your house. You feel violent. You really do. You really, really do. And I can, I was like, man, if I knew who did this, I probably, woo, I want to do something bad to him. Man. Because that's a, man, you worked so hard. And when you come up like a lot of us came up, not having, and to work so hard to get something, and just somebody just come take it.
Starting point is 00:10:27 I'm telling you, bro. Hey, hey, you really don't know how you react, especially if you do know who the people are who's done. You really don't, bro. Real talk, man. I'm talking about, hey, man. I mean, that's violation to the worst degree, bro. Imagine you come home. I'm talking about every mattress in your house flipped over.
Starting point is 00:10:50 You know, it's mattresses in the hallway. You're like, what the hell? Somebody refurnishing it. I'm talking about, I'm talking about that type of break in, you. It's hard to sleep at night behind. Hey, Joe, I came home and I looked, I was like, and I saw stuff out. I was like, well, damn, was it an earthquake? I mean, but I was in the area.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I would have felt an earthquake because earthquake did the same thing. Knocked stuff over and stuff was broken. Yeah. And I'm like, and then I looked. I was like, what damn? Where are my watches? Oh, damn. My heart just started beating fat.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Yeah. Because at first, I didn't know. At first, I went upstairs. I got Titus. No, was it Titus? Yeah, Titus. I had, because I had got Titus. I let him out.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I got the little ones. I let them out. So I'm just letting them out. I'm not even thinking anything about it. Everything is normal downstairs because I had the little ones downstairs in the kennels. So I'm not thinking. I'm not thinking anything. Everything looks normal when I get in the house.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Man, and I remember going up to my bedroom and I'm like, where all this glass come from? Watch is. I had a Christopher backpack. I was like, well, damn, what my backpack? Well, now I go back down to the truck because I'm thinking, well, maybe I left it in my truck. But I know I never leave it in the truck
Starting point is 00:12:22 because that's the last thing. I want somebody to be able to just, you know, ease access to stuff. So I'm like, you know, if you think you lost something, you're looking for stuff, well, you know you, man, what am I watch? Let me look in the refrigerator. Let me look at the oven.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Man, you don't know damn well. You didn't even a watch. You don't have a refrigerator in the oven. Got you looking at your place. You know you ain't left you. I like, then it dawned on me. Yeah. I said, man, I've been robbed.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah. That's crazy. I call, I'll try to call Shelly. I just called, I was like, call 911, 911, 911, what is your emergency? I'm like, man, I like the report a break in. You see, they're like, are they still there? I'm like, no, I'll be having a very different. call if they were. This would be a very different
Starting point is 00:13:16 call if they were still here, ma'am. I was like, my jury's gone. Man, I waited, bad. I waited, like, it took of like two hours because if it's not an injury, it's not an, they don't deem a robbery as an emergency. So they're not, it's not like, if, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:36 is anybody injured or something like that? I started lied and said, yeah, but then they end up getting me for life. So, I was like, nah, nobody's injured, ma'am.

Starting point is 00:23:56 You never know. I just, I don't know, man. I don't have B.A.'s number personally because I would have been one to reach out to him. And though there's other ways to go about this. Let's not do it that way. That's, I hope you. I'm a firm believer in that. I've always tried to treat people well
Starting point is 00:24:19 because every coach that's on your team, they're not going to be on your team always. No. What if they go somewhere else? Then that's an opportunity. Won't that? You see a lot of times coaches, when they get jobs,
Starting point is 00:24:33 they'll always bring one or two players from the team that they came from. Yep. Hey, that could be me. That could be me. Hello. That's how I look at it. And I've had great relationships.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Look, we already know that Mike Shanahan. They talk about the Shaw McVey. But Shaw McVey was on the staff with Kyle and Mike when he was in Washington. Rahim Morris was on that staff. Mike McDaniel was on that staff. Go back and look at all that staff. They spread out through the lead. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:05 You never know. The guy that runs the whole Broncos organization, what they eat, when they eat, obviously the coaches said, where they're going to stay? Chip Conway. Chip Conway started out in the mail room. in 1993. Now he runs the entire Broncos. Yeah.

First thing, as soon as I call it, you see my name pop up. Sharpie, what you need. I said, Chip, how do you know I need something? He said, Sharper, you only call me when you need some,
Starting point is 00:25:43 what you need? But it was always, you know, when it came Christmas time, always tip the guys. Always gave a night's bonus. I mean, I end up giving, you know, with the video crew, the training staff, the equipment crew,
Starting point is 00:26:00 the mail crew. I mean, I probably was giving $15,000, $20,000 bonuses. Ooh. Yeah. What made for money back then? Now he's running, now he's running the whole Bronco thing. Same thing with

Starting point is 00:26:38 Edo, Edo used to be the equipment ground and you brought him more. But when he was there, same thing, man. You got to treat, you don't know. Just because you hear the date, that don't mean you're going to be here tomorrow. Oh, no. Right. You might be here. And the person that was here, when you was here and he was here and you treated him bad, he might,
Starting point is 00:27:01 who see? Yep. Yeah, no, you might need him one day. That's just, that's how I am. I just, like I said, I just, hopefully, you know, somebody can get to him, Ocho and Joe put a bug in there and say, man, this is not the way to have a situation. I understand that you're not happy with the 49ers and you want to get out. Excuse me.
Starting point is 00:27:26 But this is not the right way. No, sir. Because, you know, Ocho, hey, first of all, they already boarded the guarantee, all the guarantee money that he was going to be a get get. That he was supposed to get moving forward. They boarded that. And look, and what I was telling you are,
Starting point is 00:27:43 you and Ocho, oh, man, if I'm another team, I mean, damn, do I want to deal with this, bro? Like, think about that. Like, I'm not sure if, I'm not sure if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, Ayuke was thinking about that, bro. Like, any team that's willing to invest in you, they're probably going to be thinking like, damn, man, at some point,
Starting point is 00:28:03 he probably going to be like that. What else? Hey, I don't know how y'all think about this, but if I don't care how I find a lady is, if you call the cops, if I know that you called the cops on somebody, you think I'm about to deal with you? Yeah, or not.
Starting point is 00:28:17 You call the cops. You get mad at him and call the cops. What's going to stop if you get mad at me doing the same thing? I'm good. No, just me. Hey, hey, somebody's like, Hey, that was an isolated. It's not, I'm not saying.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Obviously, there are certain times that women, because y'all know how y'all like the twist thing. Let me, let me clarify this. There are times that women should call the cops. But there are times in situations that sometimes this, emotions get the best of you, and you call the cops out of frustration. And then you sit back and you analyze,
Starting point is 00:28:51 you're like, man, I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry, I put you in a bad spot. But it's too late. somebody might lose their job, somebody get cut, somebody, you know, X, Y, Z. There are times that the cops should be called. And I'm not saying women that if you feel like you've been threatened, but you make sure you understand the ramifications that comes along with action because every action there is a reaction.
Starting point is 00:29:15 So let me just clarify that because I know social media, how y'all just take everything and just take it out of context and just run with it. because we got we have to be very specific now we have to be because a lot of people understand what I'm talking about but there'll be one or two that a clip it and won't provide context to what I'm saying I'm saying in a certain in certain situation that sometimes you just well he did X Y and Z and it it wasn't that situation where he didn't come home late at night you man or you find out he got a new girl yeah it's a foolishness like that obviously, like I said,
Starting point is 00:29:53 that's the type of situation I'm saying that doesn't warrant the cops being called because you find out he's seeing somebody else or he went out of the country with somebody else or he sent somebody else some money who bought somebody a car. Not any reason to call the cops. Now it's time to play or fade
Starting point is 00:30:08 presented by prize picks. All right, Joe, we got Jordan Crawford, guard for the riot, 17 and a half points, more or less than 17 and a half. I'm going to say more. Last week, y'all know that the L.A. ride played against the 305,
Starting point is 00:30:37 the little braw they had to stop the game. So it was more so of a, obviously L.A. ride won, but they didn't finish the game. Jordan had, I think he had like 12 or 13 points in, but the score was like 39, 31. Anyway, Jordan Crawf was one of the best scores in the big three, bro. He going to get that 17.

From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great.
Starting point is 00:34:06 A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I took an elbow to my head which cracked my skull. It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like that? Nobody likes that.
Starting point is 00:34:22 As we get ready for the Men's World Cup this summer, listen to American Football as part of the My Coutura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And that was more difficult.
Starting point is 00:35:12 There's a lot of people who understand postpartum depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice but to be a gymnast. There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us. We just have to find it. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed.
Starting point is 00:35:44 And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Ely Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit.

Starting point is 00:37:38 Time to play his last time for our final segment. the evening is time for Q. Hey. What you doing that for, Ocho? What are you doing that for? I'm working on my shot for the big three celebrity game. Before we get to our SuperChats, we got three video voicemail from our Discord.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Let's take a listen to the first one. Uh-oh. Ocho, Iso. What's up with y'all fellas, man? This message here is for Ocho. See! Now, that's how you answer to the critics. That's how you answer to the critics, man.
Starting point is 00:38:22 The goat. The goat. Shout out Garrett Bell, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, sir. Hey, hey, Uncle Joe, boy, I've been fighting for my life, man, on all social platforms. I'm talking about they kill me.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Listen, I got a whole new fan base. They didn't follow me in all, man, especially a lot of people from Argentina. with all the respect. I made friends with one today. Actually, he's the last person I followed on on X, and he's a huge messy fan. That's about he got like 400,000 follows. And I just,
Starting point is 00:39:00 just, just debating going back and forth and understanding, obviously, how great both players are. Obviously, Messi is great in his own right, as is Cristano. Now, one of the players is still able to dictate games. He's able to control games, you know.
Starting point is 00:39:15 And Chrisano's not in a place we has the skill set or the ability to do so like he used to and he was younger. So obviously, messy, messy is at an extreme advantage based on his side, the skill set, and what he can do. But man, both those dudes are just, just, just, let me listen. It's also. It's LeBron Jordan. It's all preference.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Right, right. Here's our second one. Let's take a listen. Unk, also, I so. Quick question for y'all. At one point in y'all careers, did y'all know it was time to get off the court and hang up the cleats? Like, what exact moment made y'all think like, damn, it's really time for me to retire. But as always, love to show.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Keep up the good word. Shoot, I ain't had no choice. I mean, the whole world knows my story. So. Why you laugh, huh? Shit. Well, you go play to the wheels fall up. You laugh too much.
Starting point is 00:40:17 They would have to tell you. They would have to tell you not to come back. No, I was going to play one more year, but when CBS came with that deal that was going to pay me the equivalent money that I was making in the NFL and I wasn't going to have to get hit anymore. And then I just, you know what, guys, I just realized. I said, me going to another Pro Bowl,
Starting point is 00:40:37 me having another 50 catch season, another 10 touchdown season, that wasn't going to change people's perception of me. And once you realize that playing another year doesn't change the perception of what people think of you, some people are going to like you, some people go, wasn't going to like you. And it was just easy for me to, it was just easy for me to go, especially because I had, you know,
Starting point is 00:40:56 I had, you know, like, gave it, giving it my all. Yeah. But long as I can remember, I've always wanted to play football. And when I went to interview for the job at CBS, it was the first time I thought about doing something else other than playing football.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Yeah, I got to go. It's really that stuff for me, guys. It's really that simple. Yeah. For me, it was probably when, you know, like, because in basketball, you have back-to-back, back-to-back. You can play four games in five nights. And on them back-to-backs, I'm talking about one,
Starting point is 00:41:33 I'm talking about horrible. Okay, Ocho, ooh, I would, oh, oh, I would horrible. Damn, back-to-backs, I couldn't get you nothing, bro. I'm talking about it was hard just to even get up and down the damn. The knees of the hip, the back, hurt. That you. And I'm saying, what hurt, boy? On the back to back?
Starting point is 00:41:52 Okay, Ocho, I ain't going to lie. I was so bad on the back to the back to the end of my career, bro. That's when I knew because it's like I can have a decent game, but it'll take me four, five days just to recover from that decent game to have another decent game. To have another damn decent game. But that's true, Joe. Because as you get older, it gets harder and harder to put those games back together.
Starting point is 00:42:15 That's what Ocho and I, we talked about. That's the thing. You can have a game. But where you should have a game, oh, I give you 100, get your 95, get your 80, get you 115, get your 75, 60, 125. Now I give you 100.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Now they're going to be some 30s in there, some 40s. Be a long time when you get another 100 out of your boy. Hey, hey, pegs, no lie. I swear. Because for me, that was it, bro. It was like, damn, it was nice. I was like, damn, I feel good tonight. a good game.
Starting point is 00:42:49 I'm talking about the next few nights. I'm talking about I can't even get out the damn first block. I'm like, damn. Let's take and listen to our third one. What a nightcare fan? Got a question for y'all. I had just got them watching the 30, 30, about the Lakers and Celtics,
Starting point is 00:43:07 and they got a question. How do you think, who had the worst finals, Blumnder? Matt Johnson in 84 or LeBron in 2011? He said had the worst one. But see, Magic just had that magic. And you got to realize, magic was a two-time finals MVP.
Starting point is 00:43:29 And what happened was it was late in the ball game. It was a tie ball game, and he dribbled out the clock and didn't get a shot off. It was almost like a J.R. Smith situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They called him tragic, Johnson. Mind you now, he's a two-time finals MVP. he had never lost the finals
Starting point is 00:43:51 well he had lost the year before because think about it they went in 80 the Celtics went in 81 they went in 82 they got swept by the sixes in 80 in 83 so they're back again
Starting point is 00:44:04 so think about it Magic Johnson first 80 he's in the finals 82 he's in the finals 83 he's in the finals 84 he's in the finals 85 he's in the finals so five of his first six years
Starting point is 00:44:16 Magic's in the finals they got swept in 83, 84, he dribbles out the clock. They lose that one. They call him tracking. Fast forward the next year, 85, they get blown out. 148, 114. They call it the Memorial Day Massacre.
Starting point is 00:44:39 So now there's a potential. Kareem looked old and slow. Kareem bounces back, has a monster game, gives Paris the business. Yeah. Kareem goes on and win finals MVP at 38, the oldest guy to ever win the finals MVP. LeBron played bad that series.
Starting point is 00:45:04 It wasn't a blunder. He just had a bad series. Magic had that bad moment that they didn't recover from. So overall, I think it was, I think it was LeBron for the Civil Fact 2011 against the Mavericks, he was bad. Ain't nowhere around it.
Starting point is 00:45:24 And y'all know I fake the world. He by guy, that's my goal. Yeah. But he was awful. Yeah. I just, I thought in 2011, D. Wade was so assertive
Starting point is 00:45:38 in their final series, Uncle Ocho, to, you know what I mean? That's why, that's why after their season, after their finals, Dway was like, look, I'm giving the keys to you.
Starting point is 00:45:51 You know what I mean? Because I thought D. Wade was ultra-aggressive in that finals. He was like, damn, LeBron. I'm going out. I'm going to win another MVP. You know what I mean? If we do win, that's how it seemed. So I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:46:03 I think Brian didn't want to, I don't know. I don't want to say not step on his toes, but he wasn't aggressive. You know, the Mavs had a great game playing. But he took a great lesson from there, bro. He took a great lesson from that. They bounced back from that. And that was the problem is that, guess what, Joe? Back then, if you remember the next year, what did he do?
Starting point is 00:46:24 He went down that summer and he worked with Dream. Developed that post because he wouldn't play in the post. That's why J.J. Barreya, that's why Jason Terry could guard it. Just play off him. Make him shoot. We'll live with that. He didn't have the post game. He goes, he gets for Kareem, he develops the post.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Now, he's, he's, he. getting people that work. Yeah. But I, hey, it's, it's good. You know, sometimes it's a blessing and the curse to be about 58 years old because I remember, I remember all of that. And that's actually, I had magic. And I asked him out there, he's like, Brad, he's like, Sean, man, it was tough.
Starting point is 00:47:03 He's like, I'm a two-time finals MVP. Yeah. And they call me tragic. Not magic Johnson, tragic Johnson. Yeah. People don't realize, you do realize. Magic didn't win, he wouldn't win rookie of the year. Bird did.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Bird was rookie of the year. Even though Magic led the team was finals MVP. And if I'm not mistaken, I think it was a 33 to three boat. Bird got 30 votes. Magic got three. I wonder what the numbers was. I know Bird was probably.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Burr was unbelievable. His rookie year? What? You got to realize, I think Burr and him, I think, Byrd them, I think Burdenham, they increased like 30 something games.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Let me see. Bird numbers, I mean, he was like a double-double. As a matter of fact, if I'm not mistaken, Byrd might have finished second. Yeah, yeah, he was. He was. He averaged 21 and 10. I think Byrd might have finished second or third in the MVP vote that year. Corrine won it.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Corrine was the final, was MVP of the lead. But I think Byrd might have been second, Might have been second or third. Because Byrd, like, Bird's first five, six years in the league, I don't think he finished out of the top three for MVP. Because 84, 85, 86, he won a consecutive. He's the last guy to win three consecutive MVP. I think he finished second or third, Joe.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Damn. And, uh... As you look at that up right quick, uh, uh, uh, Byrd's rookie year. That boy went playing. I thought the bird was a bad boy. That was my guy. I was a bird guy.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Birds. Man, I had posters. I had t-shirts with lab birds sitting in the nest. When they played the rockets, birds fly higher than rockets. Because in 81, they beat Moses Malone and Robert Reed now. And then in 86, it was Elijah won and Ralph Sampson that they beat. Oh, bird. The winner was Kareem, 147 votes.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Second place with Dr. J, third place, George Gorman. Larry Bird finished fourth in the MVP voting as a rookie. Damn. As a rookie. You got to be a bad boy. Yep. Ice man. Mm.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Dr. Frank L. Bellamy says, happy early birthday. I hope you enjoy your day tomorrow. Thank you, Doc. I'm going to enjoy. There you go. There you go. I can't enjoy my birthday, Joe. Now I'm saying you rub your hands together like bird, man.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I'm going to enjoy my day. Lord bless me to open my eyes, put my feet on the ground. Great day to be alive. Oh, man, no. Man, come on. Like, I wasn't all that. Come on, Joe. I can't make it more than what it is.
Starting point is 00:50:19 But you know it's the, but you know it's the, takeover. Every birthday, love the birthday. Shout out. Now let's fix the scouting report. Cardier is a 49ers fan. Niners by five. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Appreciate that, man. Appreciate that. His son, he's taking his son to the Atlanta. Remember the Atlanta 49ers game? He's a 49th fan. I think the table was got worse with that trade.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Got worse. I think the thing is, Melo's going to have to change his game, he can't, I mean, Joe, he just can't come jacking down. Shoggi, you got realized not.
Starting point is 00:51:01 And the expectations are going to be a lot different in Minnesota. than they were in Charlotte. Charlotte. Yeah. Hey, I understand that, but I do think timing is everything, too. I think the timing is right for Lamello
Starting point is 00:51:16 in his career for this change to happen. I think he's a more mature player. I think he'll be even better player. I think him and Anthony Edwards will compliment one another. The problem is, because you gave up two of your best bigs, one which was a stretch for, and one was more of a power ISO guy,
Starting point is 00:51:37 when you got to find something to fit, you got to feel that void, you know what I mean? You got to feel that void, whether it's coming off the bench or not, you have to feel that voice. So outside of that, I think they're going to be heavily perimeter-oriented, which I don't have a problem with that.
Starting point is 00:51:52 That's today's game, you know, knowing and understanding that. But I think those guys are really going to take some pressure off one another, but you're right. I think with him being a past first point guard who can't score, ball who has a lot of pizzazz to his game, I think he's only going to help,
Starting point is 00:52:07 I think he knows and understands the opportunity that he has, and I think he's going to maximize it. Ocho, thank you for taking a picture with my lady today. I guess in Soho or SoFi? But anyway, she's beautiful, ain't she? Yeah, Soho out here in New York where I was doing the Drap King stuff for the game. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Oh, yeah, Ocho ain't liked that. He don't be looking at people, girls. He don't do that. I don't paying no attention. Yeah. Yeah. I got them shades on, boy. Y'all think Lamello trade makes job market go up,
Starting point is 00:52:45 and do you think Horners go after him? How does this play out? I really don't know about the job situation. I mean, from reports, it sounds like he doesn't have a lot of value. Oh, Joe. Hey, Joe, that made me, that hurt me so bad, man. When they broke it down, why he doesn't have the value, you know, and then they're showing the graph, the graphic on his numbers
Starting point is 00:53:16 and how everything continues to decline year in a year out. I'm like, yeah. You see? He's a paint guy. I mean, yeah, he developed and worked on his shot and the three point in the three point shot did get a little better, Joe. but he ain't got no many, and he's not in the paint as much as he once was.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Nah, and hopefully, and hopefully Josh sees this meaning like the reports about him, and he's able to, you know, prove people wrong, bro. Get back to who he used to be. But that, you know, with this being a point guard-driven league now, man, your point guard got to be able to shoot on that Ojo. And I just think his three-point percentage is kind of plummeted over the years,
Starting point is 00:54:00 And it's got to get better because if his three point percentage gets better, then it'll open up the rest of his game. So hopefully he's working. Hopefully he works. I'm going on everything. Yeah, yeah, all day long. Yeah, twice on Sunday. Your Uncle Joe Iso is 12 a.m.
Starting point is 00:54:17 about to start the celebration. I turned 40 today. And I'd also like to give a shout at the unks. It's a birthday also. Thank you, bro. I appreciate that. You know, boy, be the big three eight. With that that, Cap, crew, happy birthday up.
Starting point is 00:54:37 I'm also celebrating my birthday turning 24-Ocho. I'm going to Fan Fest in Miami for the Portugal game with the fam. Pull up. Love the show, fellow, Luis. Yeah, Fan Fest is going to be nice. I'm hosting something at Bayside. I'm not sure if it's part of the Fan Fest, but I'm hosting them at Bayside early in the day before the game start.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Start, bench, cut. Zeke, Todd Gurley, Labia. John Bell. Ooh. I'm starting to, I'm starting Todd Gurley. Uh, I'm benching,
Starting point is 00:55:08 uh, Zeke and got to let Labion go. I'm sorry. Damn. As patient as Levion is back down. Y'all, but you look at Todd Gurley's numbers. Man,
Starting point is 00:55:24 Todd Gurley had like, Todd Gurley had like 70 plus touchdowns in like five years. Yeah. Oh, you're right. Hey, you're right. But I,
Starting point is 00:55:33 I love how Lavion, hey, look, you hand that ball to Lavia, it's like he's walking back there. He's like, he'd take a couple of days. Next thing, he don't pee- You know what, Joe? Some patient, boy. But when he went, man, he stepped off a cliff when he went to the Jets. I mean, he was not existing.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Yeah, everybody on stepped off a cliff when he, they, they really is fault. He stepped up a cliff, Joe. Well, who you, who you take it, Joe? Who you take it, Joe? Give me the three again. Zeke, Todd Gurley, Levyon. I don't think people, because Todd Gurley career was so short,
Starting point is 00:56:13 I don't think people realize how good he was. Yeah, yeah, they don't understand. So based on longevity, I got- Rukki of the year, offensive player the year. I know, no, no. He will meet, hey, he puts some numbers up. TG had it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:28 He gave out on it. You like, yeah. Damn. I'm going to go Zeke. I'm going to go Zeke. You start in Zeke? Yeah. There we go, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Zeke first. I'm gonna... I like Gurley. I like what he did, but I like Leveon better. So I'm a Vince Laveeon. I'm gonna cut off. All right, what you got, Joe? Yeah, I'm gonna...

I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer. And that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression.
Starting point is 01:00:56 I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice. but to be a gymnast. There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me. It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us.
Starting point is 01:01:11 We just have to find it. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is. Getting a racist statue removed. And here's something
Starting point is 01:01:27 that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Ely Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House

This kid, Jafar Jackson, is as good as Rami Malik as Freddie Mercury, and it's as good as
Starting point is 01:02:47 Timothy Shamaulay as Bob Dylan. And I say that with love and respect for both of those actors. And I don't know how many Oscar nominations they give out, I don't know if it's five, six for best actor, 150% this kid Jafar Jackson should absolutely positively get nominated for his portrayal as Michael Jackson. Listen to I Am Rap Report on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I Am Rapaport Podcast. No, he played, so he played, Leveon played about from 13 to 2021 and had 14. 32 touchdown. What's it called him had? Oh, yeah, he had games started touchdown.
Starting point is 01:03:54 He had 35, 3. He played nine years and had 42 touchdowns. Who ladies are? Tar Gherly played six years, had 80. I got to say, man, people don't realize how good Todd Gurley was, man. No, he was nice. He was nice.
Starting point is 01:04:28 He was sensational. how many years Zeke played? Zeke played nine years, had 74 touchdowns. Todd Gurley played six years, had 80. I'd be thinking about it. That man played 10 years on show.
Starting point is 01:04:58 That may go have 100 touchdowns. He's basically averaging 13 touchdowns a season. I so help me out. If a player averages 25 points a game on 45% shooting, 37% from the 3,000. of the player average 22 points a game on 50% field goal shooting, 40% for 3, who's a better score?
Starting point is 01:05:24 Whose average more points on the one or the one who's more efficient? Who's the better average more points or the one that's better efficient? So 25 points on 45% shooting and 35% 3 or 22 points on 50% field goal shooting and 40% 3. That's 22. Oh, 50%? Come on, man. Their percentages don't lie, bro. What's up, Nightcare, fam?
Starting point is 01:06:01 Happy birthday, unc. Today is my sixth year anniversary with my loving and beautiful wife. Can you please give my wife, Keira, a special shout out for redefining gravity and letting this fall last forever with me. Sparks, Loportier equals Dima time. Absolutely. Kiera, hubby, one.
Starting point is 01:06:23 to give you a shout-up. You guys have been married for six years, and he said, you know what? Only great things have happened in his life since he's met you. And I want to congratulate you in the entire team at nightcap, one of which you guys, a happy sixth anniversary, wedding anniversary. And continue, continue, continue this happiness. Still can't believe Ocho spent 17 hours in Atlanta, and I so can't even do ish, and even give my boy your address, all that trash talking.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Man. Boy, please. Don't you win in Atlanta, 15-no hours? Hey. Hey, John Long, I was there, Joe. I wasn't even at 24 hours. I was there short. I don't know, but the porch light been on for four months. I sure we ain't seen that address.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Yeah. Big three, my name is Javier. I wanted to tell you guys these past two years. You guys have really helped me since my mom passed from cancer at 62 years age. Sorry, man. Sorry to hear it for you. Sorry for your loss. You guys have made me laugh and have mentally helped me.
Starting point is 01:07:28 So thank you so much. No, thank you, Javier. Thank you for supporting us. Sorry to hear about the passing of your mom at 62 years young, but we greatly, greatly appreciate your support. It's things like that that make this worthwhile because we get a lot of this that sometimes people are going through things and they say, you know, listen to the nightcap with Ocho, myself,
Starting point is 01:07:47 and Joe, that it gives them, you know, something to smile about, something to laugh about and take their lines off of things that are going on. in their life that's kind of hard to deal with. So we greatly appreciate that. Yes, sir. Yeah. Iso, what's Clyde's responsibility as the Big Three Commission and who's winning a chess match between y'all?
Starting point is 01:08:09 Clyde responsibility is to, you know, make sure the Big Three is ran smoothly, bro. Keep these guys in check. You know what I'm saying? When, you know, when guys get out of line like it did their first week, the first guy who they probably going to see in here, hear from is Clyde. He's going to be back there. He's going to be back there talking crap too.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Hey, shut you out. Yeah. Yeah, that's how it goes. Hey, this thing here, let me tell you all something. I love a big three. I love playing in the big three. And I love, and I enjoy how it's ran. But yeah, it's ran with an iron fish, bro. Clyde going to be the first one. He's going to talk to you like you're somebody out of the street, too.
Starting point is 01:08:46 Hey, man. Hey, man. Hey, man, y'all need to go on. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's Clyde. Yeah. need to make a t-shirt for ISO that says that don't make y'all no bad brother it don't we already know though oh cho soccer has so much flopping it's hard to enjoy every play player
Starting point is 01:09:09 looking like rickie getting in the boys in the hood iso welcome to free cap number one podcast hands down listen it looked like flopping but you wouldn't understand unless you right there getting kicked, they're getting stepped on. You know, sometimes them boys, they'd be hurt for real. Other times, I call it a tactical, a tactical timeout, jok. You know the boys have got no timeouts. No. Yeah, they get a little break.
Starting point is 01:09:35 They get themselves a little break. I call it a tactical timeout. You know, let everybody get some rest. Also, it's a slow down the momentum. Right. Yeah. Yeah. The question we all should be asking,
Starting point is 01:09:50 we all should be asking, and he should be asking himself, is why is J.B. always on the trading block? I think dude is toxic in the locker room. I don't know. This is what I do know. Is that the Celtics do not value Jalen Brown like they value Jason Tatum.
Starting point is 01:10:09 We can come up with speculation, conjecture, and innuendo. Because this is what we do know that has been factual. Jason Tatum name has never come up in a trade discussion. Every year, multiple times, some years, Jalen Brown name has come up in a trade discussion. Yeah. It's really that simple. And I don't know why he's upset at us for covering it or us for talking about it when
Starting point is 01:10:39 his organization has put it out there. And remember, he was in the trade for Yonis, but Jimmy Hasam said, so it had to be true because Jimmy Haslam said he just felt that it might be a situation where he might be unhappy in a year and we're right back in a situation we find ourselves in now. Now, he could have just been making it up, but I don't know why he would make it up. They had the scenarios. They said it's between two teams, Yon is going,
Starting point is 01:11:09 Boston and Miami. Now you hear some reports being reported that Boston is still looking to find a potential trade partner for Jalen Brown. That's not us. We're not making that up. Right. More time. And it says, well, ESPN was talking about,
Starting point is 01:11:30 you know, I put my house on the market. Did you? It would be the same thing. Let's just say for the sake of argument, if Miles Garrett had put his condo or his house on the market, you don't think that would have been new? You don't think we'd have talked about that, Joe?
Starting point is 01:11:45 Yes, sir. Ocho, you think we'd have talked about that? Yeah. When LeBron was a click, they talked about, well, LeBron was looking for a house in Philly. LeBron was looking for a house in L.A. It's going to be news, bro.
Starting point is 01:12:00 You're a top player in the NBA. It is what it is. Ocho 305 represented that versus with Pretty Ricky putting BTA to B2K Yeah I watched a little bit of that I don't know who won I watched a little bit of like the start of it
Starting point is 01:12:22 I didn't I'm trying to watch I'm trying to watch the versus B2K and Pretty Ricky and I'm trying to watch soccer I can't keep over it all this come on man Every birthday up What's your guy's favorite birthday memory
Starting point is 01:12:38 Well, I don't even celebrate my birthday I'm the wrong one to ask I don't celebrate mine either And hey, I say a prayer at 1159 I'm good, I tell my kid Don't ask me to go nowhere Bring me a cigar, bring me some coffee and I'm good
Starting point is 01:12:54 Yeah, I'm normally pretty chill I mean outside of probably my 25th birthday Like I told you I had Who was that? Jaggedy came performing in my 25th birthday. Oh, Jagged, boy, you got money, Joe. Yeah, back up, baby.
Starting point is 01:13:13 They came to Little Rock and tore it down. Boy, hey, hey, ain't gonna lie. It was nice. That was not. I don't really celebrate, but I'm hoping somebody going to do the meat, me, me, me, old, four home to the ball. How would I hope?
Starting point is 01:13:27 Man, let me stop, man. That ain't doing that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Big three, salute. Let's smell him again. and Unk, Nick's won the chip, so that means the Cowboys can win it all as well.
Starting point is 01:13:41 Let that sink in. Tolerance equal production. Hey, look, I know y'all don't want to hear that. I know you are Ocho, y'all don't want to hear that. But keep it real, that that happened, boy, to change the landscape of the NFL here. No, you want to change the landscape of a nightcap. You want to come over here. That's what he wanted to do, Joe, Ocho.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Now he thinks he's slick. Hold on, hold on. If Ocho could get lucky in basketball, You mean to tell me I can't man, believe. Let's go. Hold on. I got lucky. So I've been lucky all season long?
Starting point is 01:14:16 What are you talking about? First of all, Jim Dolan got out the way. Is Jerry Jones going to get out the way? Nope. Maybe. Never know. Never know. Ocho, Norway, and France play on Friday.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Who do you got winning? And how do you think France will defend Holland? And you know what? France's back line is so good they're going to have to be on point they're physical, they're strong they can match Holland strength for strength
Starting point is 01:14:51 face for face shoot how is Norway going to stop how they're going to deal with Mbapé and Duay and Dendebele and Barcola when he comes on so that's man Joe you've seen France play yet no I ain't seen him play
Starting point is 01:15:08 yet? I see a little bit of them yeah be good watch friends play Joe okay I'm gonna check watch the difference I love USA I love us but what's the difference
Starting point is 01:15:20 in skill and technique and quality of the players at every position when you watch friends play Joe it's almost unfair is that big of a difference it's almost unfair and I'm saying that
Starting point is 01:15:34 we didn't get so their players to defect to the USA so I'm saying it in a respectful away. Every position, them boys like that. You know how it track you feel like a lot of these countries, they'll go get the Kenyan runners or they try to get the Chinese table tennis players to come and, you know, you go get y'all to just come on over here. We did some of the soccer players like that.
Starting point is 01:15:58 I don't know why the chat wants to act like y'all playing sides on certain issues. Y'all just call it like y'all see it. Ain't nothing wrong with that. But it's their players, it's their favorite guys. See, people get back, oh, y'all don't like, hey, J.B. No, get mad at the Celtics. They put his ass on the trade block. Not us. Our job is to talk about it. Don't get mad because we're talking about a situation
Starting point is 01:16:18 be it, A, B, or Brandon, not you. We're discussing their behavior. I don't know what y'all. If we talk about something, we shouldn't talk about it. If we don't, y'all ain't talk about this. If we don't talk about something, Ocho and Joe, then you get mad about that. So I don't really know what y'all wanted to do.
Starting point is 01:16:37 You ain't talking about this. You ain't talked about that. man, I don't care about nobody, no extra marital affair. That ain't got nothing to do with nothing. Yeah. We don't talk about no extra marital affairs on here. I mean, we might pull up, we might pull up something with somebody having a conversation
Starting point is 01:16:53 where, well, the lady wouldn't let her kid go to Disney because the parent wouldn't take all the other kids. Or the lady through the food out, the lady, because we're having a conversation like, you didn't bring food for the other four kids. That's not yours. So I'm not going to let your child. out eat this burger because you could have bought food for everybody.
Starting point is 01:17:15 We would discuss stuff like that. But an extra marital affair, that ain't. Man, please. Hmm, hmm. Happy 58th birthday, up, 58 feeling great. If she ain't 280, you can't participate. Nah, bro, you know, up. Okay, what he used to be.

But, you know. Well, I showed looking forward to this old birthday. What's up, Big Three-Ocho? I'm just getting into soccer.
Starting point is 01:18:16 Can you speak on how good Ronald Dino was and why he isn't mentioned more in the goal conversation? I mean, Ronald Dio's career was short. His peak was the highest of all peaks, but it was really short. But he was a magician on the ball, man. He was a magician. He was a party, party, party, party guy.
Starting point is 01:18:38 You know, go to the club. come out lead a club eight in the morning, go to practice, train. Damn. Joe, he was unbelievable, Joe. Basically, the best way I could describe it in basketball terms is Kyrie with his handles.
Starting point is 01:18:55 It's Juan Antonio with the ball at his feet. A little bit more flair. Or he played with a smile. He did things that were just... I do remember that tail hanging down, Joe. Yeah, man. Like, Joe, it's just... If you get a chance, Joe,
Starting point is 01:19:10 just Google Ronald Deino highlights. Ronald Deano's highlights. Just watch what he do with the ball at his feet. It's stupid. It's stupid. Stupid, stupid. He does the kind of stuff you do in practice. Yeah. Get away with it in practice.
