or wherever you get your podcast. I wonder what... It's hard for believe that LeBron, because you remember that Game 7, LeBron tore the sleeves of his jersey. Remember how it was hanging, Joe? Oh, Joe? Yeah. Oh, when they had them ugly jersey that came down to...

Yeah, I remember that. And he ended up tearing it, so it was too tight on his arms. Yeah. You don't like that. And I ain't like them jerseasas neither. Because in basketball, it was... restricts you, it restricts this part, you know, from the shoulders and the bicep.

You man, come on, man, I need some room. You know what I'm saying? I get it. And you with that thing smooth, hello. Hello, you already know, elbow butter eyebrow. Oh, show don't know nothing about that. Take nose on the Joe.

Oh, that's, hey, Joe, you know, I got a shot just like Ant Man. Your shot like Air Man? Yeah, the form, I'm a little bit more efficient than him from three, but we got to. Facts. Facts. Hey,

hey, that's one of my favorite movies, by the way, Blake, man. Oh, man. Hey, J-Five! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Dave, Dave, Dave, well,

hey, they do some unbelievable comedy, man. Oh, man. An anonymous NBA GM says

Donald McHontontract is too much for that guy that isn't generational talent, per Tim McMahon. One GM said in terms of the kind of money, you've got to be a generational talent

when you get $70 million range. There may be only a couple of players in the league that are worth that kind of money. Hey. Hey, is, you know what? Go ahead, Joe. That's y'all. We talk about timing is everything.

Okay, Ojo. It is. You know, hey, this is Donovan. His time is up. And damn it, this is what the, this is what a max contract is. This is the going rate. This is the going rate, bro.

Hey, and he's a hell of a player. And to some degree, I can kind of, you know, see what the owner is saying. But, hey, man, it's his time, bro. It's his time. It is. I mean, it used to be. I mean, there were the time that, you know, but they've always been a situation where guys,

because I remember when John Conk had got that big contract. The Hawke gave him that big contract, Joe. Yeah. And about like, what? Yeah. Jack was like, what? All the big was like, he got what? Yeah.

And so everybody, Donald is a phenomenal player. I wouldn't look, look, when you hear, when I hear generational, I'm thinking Magic Johnson. I'm thinking Kobe. I'm thinking Shaq. I'm thinking Jordan. I'm thinking Kevin Iran. I'm thinking Steph Curry, Yokic, LeBron. That's what, that's what, when I hear generational, now you got generational and then you got

transcendent. Yeah. transcend the sport. Yeah. You know, generation is, what, 25 years? Transcending. It's different, man. Guys that when they're done,

you won't be able to tell the story of the NBA without mention. Without them? Yeah. Yeah. And it just, it's a testament to how far the game of basketball has come. Yeah.

You know, think about it, man. When Shaq, what do he signed for when he left Orlando coming to LA, like a hundred or something. Yeah, yep. And then you get KG up. That's why they call him the big ticket, because he had one of the biggest contracts ever. It probably like, what, $115, something million like that?

Yeah, like $122. Yeah, and now, hell, man, that's, hell, you get that. Well, they're doubling that, Joe. Oh, Joe, you can get a $120 million contract right now. You ain't got to have no credentials behind it. Kristen Brown got five for $125. Come on, man. Woo, come on.

Look at what did Monsgov get? Timothy Monsgoth. Yeah, it's different, bro. It is. The game has advanced. They're making so much money nowadays. And when your time is up, and it's time for you to get paid,

the timing is right. Amen. Yeah. Beet, be it, beat, beat, beat. You just hit that damn brink. Hey, I can't begrudging. Hey, I told my mom, I tell my mom all the time, Ma, you could have waited another 10 years.

Hell, you're only 25 when you had me. My mama said, boy, I was done. They say, Mary, what you want? Boy or girl, my mama say it can be a lizard. I ain't having them all the damn kids. Game been good to me, fellas. I ain't going to last you before. Yeah.

I had a hell of a time. Ocho, Joe, they say these are the worst NBA contracts per bleacher report. Joel and B is about to start a three-year, $187 million contract. Tray Young, four years, uh, 212. So basically 2.13 because it's 212.9. Paul George has two years left though at 110.7.

Dearon Fox starts a four year 221.7. Devin Booker has four years, 250.6 remaining. Donald Mitchell, five years, 323 million. Patrick Williams, three years, 154 million. and Christian Brown, five years, 125. Damn. Hey, they don't boy getting to that money on, boy. They getting him, boy.

Hey. And how old was Donald Mitchell? Donald Mitchell might not even be 30. He might get an opportunity to get another contract, Joe. Yeah, he already ain't had a couple big ones already. Yeah, I mean, he'd get another big one. Yeah. Hey, hey, the one thing about it, man, look, real talk.

If you keep yourself in great shape and you want to the top guys, boy, you can come. you can circle a block at least two, three times. I'm talking about healthy, you know what I mean? Yes. And C. Joe, you say that. Don't they see that? If you keep yourself in shape, Ocho, you can make money for a long period of time. You can extend it.

You might can get it even a couple of years. And as we used to say, hey, man, I'm going to steal me a couple of years. They don't know for me. I'm going to steal me two or three. I'm telling you. Hey, that's how you got to look at it. But you also got to, man, you got to have. that wise people in your corner,

Unc and Ocho, and I say that because when I got drafted to Boston in 01, the assistant coach that I had, Lester Connor, he played the NBA for like 12, 13, 13 years. Unk might know him. I know Ocho probably don't know.

Yeah. But, bro, if it wasn't for him, Ocho, giving me the game, showing me the ropes, you know, showing me how to eat. Look, man, look, you're going to have an appetizer, which is your rookie deal.

Then after your rookie deal, shit, that when you go up for your main course. You know, you hit them cross the head. Bing, Bing. You hear me? Then, because back then, Ocho, you know, they were doing five and seven-year deals.

It wasn't really no four, it wasn't no four and five and three-year deals. Right. So you'll be locked, you'd be locked into your deal for quite some time. So you had to get it. Yeah, so after that main course, he was like, then you come back for a little dessert,

you know, hit them across the head again. But you got to take care of yourself the whole entire time. I'm like, I'm locked in. I'm locked in. Hey, mama ain't never got to work again. We're good. Yeah. Hey, Joe, now you get these guys, they're doing these three, four year deals every three to four years.

So a guy coming out, he, he's 18, 19. By the time he's 26, he done two deals. Now by the time he's 30, he's going to get ready to do a fourth deal. Yeah. So it's like Joe said, they were tied to guys up six, seven years. Now they got these guys, he got a three year like Joel and B, three year 188. Yeah. Or you got four years, 112.

I mean, 212. Or you got, Donovan Mitchell, 5 for 3, uh, uh, uh, uh, for 323. That's 60, yeah. That's filthy, boy. Hey, hey, hey, it,

it wouldn't be nothing that, that would be able to deter me from reaching some of those goals that I would want to reach personally. I'll be working so damn hard. I'm telling you, man, listen, that's all I can think of. I'll think about the next contract.

Like, okay, cool. I ain't never got satisfied. And when I did get paid, That's how I was, Joe. Man, that's how I was, Joe. Because, look, I ain't thinking about this. I already got this. I'm thinking about the next one.

Hey, hey. I'm going to go, Joe. We already are signing the dotted line. This one coming. Hello. Hello? Now, let me see three years. Hey, three years.

Hey, I'm 20, I'm 20, 24, 25. Can I get a three year deal? Hey, hey, you're doing the numbers. You know black folks don't play, boy. Yeah, yeah. Black folk won't do them numbers, boy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and most of the time, it takes a certain type of player, Uncle Joe,

to get that main course and still had that same hunger. Ignore the money. I ain't worried about how much I'm making, but I still want to be that same player. I continue to prove myself. A lot of people get that big bag, Uncle, you've seen it, you've seen it, Joe, you've seen an uncle, a player that get paid that good one time.

Shut it out. And they fall off the faith, they shut it down. I love guys. They get that big money, but they play like they broke. Yes, sir. Yes. They play like they broke. Yes.

I was like, bro. I mean, if you don't admire anything else about talking Brady, all he had an accomplish, all the money he had done made, you'd swear that dude was still trying to make the damn team for the first time, Ocho. Because in his mind, he still was that sixth round draft pick that everybody overlooked.

And every time he went out there, he tried to prove every team that passed over him, he tried to make him pay. He did. He did. And they're respect and passion. And that's how you got to do it. You got to go out of it like you're not.

Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges that she never saw coming. 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. 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 IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Declaration, which is full of these beautifully rendered sentences and paragraphs about enlightenment ideals, does also have this darker history to it.

Why is it important for the darker part of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution? Why is it important that Americans know about it? Well, if we don't understand the full context in which our nation was founded, we won't understand the full context in which our nation now finds itself. I'm Rebecca Nagel.

This longevity obsession is all about, and what it really means to live forever, for all of us. I learned about some rad science. I can make a brain for you, and then we can test what draw is the best for your brain, as opposed to his brain. Here are some hard truths.

I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five-year acceleration. and get myself into a world of trouble. I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. To make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive,

All right, so imagine old sheds on the Cowboys in the 90s, man. He'd be eating groceries and doing cocaine. Oh, man, come on. Yeah, yeah.

You've been right with them. Da, da, them. Them 90s was wild. Boy, they were out there. Yeah, no, no, I don't see, I don't see, I don't see him partaking. He knows Mary Porter, she wasn't going to be having it. No hell no. Hey, Mike, my boy.

But he'd have to tell me that, he had to tell me about that at practice. All right, yeah. Because I damn sure he was going to be, yeah. Hey, hey, he wouldn't have no problem in telling you neither. Oh, oh, say, oh, last night. Dude, dude, dude. To be like the off season, we would see it like the Super Bowl,

you see him, and, hey, we, you know, we go out a little wet bit. Yeah. I say, but to be with this man, September, October, November, December. Oh, let me take that back. July, because when you come back to camp. Yeah.

So end of July, August, September, October, November, December, December, January. No way. I don't know how they do it. I don't know how they do. I don't know how they go out like that, but hey, more power to him. Can I get a shout out for my hubby?

Who do you think was the better dunker? The Go, MJ, or LeBron? I think it's LeBron. In game? Yeah. I think, no, MJ more creative, though. It just looks better when a smaller guy dunks. It just does.

And he can fly. Yeah. I mean, but both of them got some posters. Oh, no, no, no, yeah. Yeah. You can't, I can't refute that. Hey, but, hey, when I think of, when I think of best dunkers, I also,

I don't think of just power in general. I think of creativity. I think of their creativity and what they're able to do while in the air. And, uh, I mean, hell, we talk about going for power. Hell, I like Russell Westbrook when he was young. Because I'm like, well, damn, who piss you off? Every dunk, it seemed like he's angry.

What you mad at the rim for? He wore that chip on his shoulder, but, but, uh, when he come to dunker, go ahead, Joe. When they come to Duncan, though, hey, man, Brun and MJ got some, they got some classics, but man, that damn MJ, man. And Cic, I mean, the way he get up.

They got those two-handed, the one he dunked on Matumbo, the one he dunked on Patrick Ewing. What that, Brun? I mean, in Nebraska, I mean, in New Orleans, I mean, in Portland. Yeah. He got Duncan. I mean, you know what?

You probably have to, you know what it is. it probably have to be like a versus. You take their 20 best. Yeah, yeah. And put them up against each other. You're absolutely right. Well, that'll be a good one, boy. Uh-oh,

acting pinky from Friday, both are loud and scared. Biggie say, sail again. Play it again. Right, Clifford and Powell on that one little episode, that one little part was that classic, boy. That was classic. Man, we had Baca Blaksa. Backe Blaksa brought that CD back in there.

That thing had a whole chunk out of it. He said, man, what happened to? But I don't know, motherfucker. Give me my money. Hell no. Tell him. Tell him to watch his mouth. He might get hit with as hard as God would let him go put G.A.

on the map being. Bad bitch, you go out a great time. I'm going to see him. No, real talk. I think I'm going to call the guy tomorrow and get Joe and our ticket. Probably Jordan, too, Jordan got to go. I have to drag Jordan alone.

But no, man, man, bro, it was great. I mean, look, I understand what he said. But I didn't diminish him. I mean, you could like, I mean, it's like, some people like Kobe style. Some people like Jordan. Some people like stuff. And it all, it's subjective.

It's subjective is what you like I like I like I like I like hey I'm gonna see somebody hit the flow And I understand the objective is like look Is the hit not get hit But sometimes to make a fight entertaining You got to dance You can't say the bad at this party was banging

And you ain't even get on the dance flow Yeah but you know what the funny thing about it is When you talk about liking some of the fighters From the old days that took chances They had more action They were willing to exchange right And you think about the fighters today that don't want to take those chances

because it's a chance of them losing as opposed to, okay, my fans want me to take chance, but when I lose, that loss is on me. Not on them because they want me to entertain them, but then I lose a fight. And now that loss is on my record, not the fans. So, I mean, I kind of get it. I kind of get both sides,

especially when it comes to you, who has watched some of the greats fight back in the 80s and 90s, and now today, you don't have fighters with that kind of power that is just laying people out. Tyson spoiled us. Roy Jones spoiled us. Hagler, Hearns, they spoiled us. Yeah.

To where it's just not like that anymore. You remember the Hulk, Aaron Pryor? Did he come around? Man, from Cincinnati, man, what you talk about? Yeah. Yeah. That joke, hey, you remember your joke? Well, Aaron Pryor was a real deal, man.

Nah, I don't know. You got to watch him fight, Joe. Hey, Aaron Pryor, boy. He could go, that. What? That joke was relentless. Relentless. Oh man, them got, hey, back there, and you know, Sweet P,

but Sweet P had the head movement. He didn't really pair it like, like, like Floyd could catch a punch and shoot. But as far as movement, but Floyd, but Sweet P had offense too, man. Oh yeah, sweet P, man. You go back, that 84 boxing team, Ocho, Joe, is the greatest boxing team ever assembled.

It doesn't matter the country. It doesn't matter the year. That 84 U.S. team with Tyrell Biggs and Henry Tillman and, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, a band of Holyfield, Sweet Pete Whitaker, Mark Breeland. Go, they won like, of the 13 gold medals. They won like 11 of a mocho.

Damn. Mm-hmm. Think about it. You got 13. They won like 11. Go back and look at that 84 team. That is the greatest boxing team ever assembled. Some people say 76 with, uh,

with who was it? It was the Spinks Brothers. It was Sugar Ray, because that was in Montreal, and there was a, Davis. I think his last name is Davis, but it couldn't match the depth of what. And I understand Leon,

you know, Leon Spink won the heavyweight title. He took it from Ali, and Michael Spinks was the heavyweight champion and we know Sugar Ray. And Howard Davis, I think it's Howard. Y'all can look that up for him. I think it was Howard Davis on that 7016.

The Spinks brothers, Howard Davis, and Sugar Ray. But that 84 team? Oh, my God. Nah, uh-uh. Go look at, hey, somebody said, nah, that's 76 team. Go look at that 84 team. Mark Breeland, Henry Tillman, Tyrell Biggs, Evander Holyfield, Sweet P. Whitaker.

Who else was in that team on that team? That was crazy. They were crazy. That was, that was, as a matter of fact, that was the last time the Olympics was in the US. It was an 84-Oh in LA. And here did we are back 26, 42 years later, back in LA.

Oh, you gotta chill, man. Every boxers don't want to leave the game terminally ill in the head. I get it. But bro, look, my thing is, is all I'm saying, I never disparaged him and said he couldn't fight or he wasn't a good fighter.

I live with that, And Ocho, we know, me and Ocho was talking about. I led with that. I said, but it's just not entertaining to me. But I'm not the only one to say. And I get it. I get it. I wanted a few to have a microphone, Ocho.

And so somebody to have the microphone, their voice is a little louder. Louder, yes, especially coming from you. Yeah. So I don't want him. I hate that he think that I was like taking a shot at it, but, but it is what it is. But I get what you saying, bro. I get what you saying. The painter is it come.

forward fighter. He pushed the pace. That's why it was good. No, I didn't see that fight. Somebody said Jake Paul over Shakur, man. Jake Paul weigh over two hundred pounds, man. Damn. Hey, he'll get itself pieced up too. Hey, man. Man, they level the boxing, man. Taylor Bell says his style puts me to sleep. I'm not saying that, but you know, hey, but when you like, when you see, like, I mean, from time to time, they'll have championship fights. Oh, Cho, they'll have them on X, and you'll see them. Yes.

And you see, like, damn, they throw it leather. Yeah. Hey, hey, who was that the greatest first round ever? Oh, that was a Haglin-Herns? Boy, hey, Joe, if you see them, just the first round over the Haglin-Herns, you were like, ain't no way in hell they're going to have any gas left for the rest of the fight. Boy, they were going at it, boy. It was.

I mean, they were just standing toe-to-to-th throw a leather. Yeah, that's when they used to throw down back then, boy. And you could hear those punches. Yeah. That's when they had them light-ass gloves. That's when they had them eight-ounce gloves, Ocho. Oh, yeah. Letting them rip, boy.

Up. After this, no more Y-Ns on the show. This dude's doing too much on here. He's going to get dealt with the ring, also, Ocho, stop eating booty. Oh. No, man. Hey, no, look, we appreciate the guys coming on

because we want to highlight the sports. because I love boxing. And I think it took a dip because guys weren't willing to fight. Guys became too consumed with the undefeated record and they weren't fighting. And like he said, Chikour said, look, Turkey controls everything now.

So the money right, and hopefully the money right, guys don't want to fight. Even though it's not a deal. They said it's about the money now and they're not going to have to fight like these guys. Look at it. Man, look at the Rams record, Ocho.

These guys had 100 and something fights. These guys fighting 70, 80, 90 times. You're not going to find a guy to fight like that no more anymore. Hey, the money's going to be right, but they ain't going to be fighting for no damn belts. I would want to see them fight for the belt, Jocho, but if the two best men get in there, I'll take that. Right, right.

I'll take that. Considering it's been so long that, because a lot of times when the heavyweights fall, they don't have no damn belts. Yeah. Because normally you had to fight somebody to move up the picket order to get in line to be able to fight somebody

to have a belt. Yeah. Bro, go fight tank, and then we can talk. He's talking about you talk about the Shakur. He said that's who he wanted to fight. He listed fighters. He listed Tank. He listed Haney. He listed Russell, and he listed Lamont Roach.

He said those are the four fights that he would like to make. And one of those guys he would like to fight before the years out. He fought earlier, he fought, uh, Tiofimo, Ocho, I think it's January that he fought Tiofimo. And so that's plenty enough time. Yeah. To recover, to be able to recover and to go fight,

because he didn't take no damage. He put it, he put it on to you people. Yeah, that was crazy. But Ocho, you said you like to see him fight Lamont Roach. Joe, you said you like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Simply because, yeah. And you just don't know, he liked to see him fight Haney.

Haney, yeah. I didn't want to see him fight. If long, if long, listen, As long as Haney ain't on his bicycle. He don't, you, what, I don't like, I don't like, would he be on that bicycle, you know, backing up, backing up, backing up, backing up, backing up,

backing up, backing up, backing up, back and up, back and back and up, throwing up, bow punch, backing up, backing up, you know, I understand, I understand fighting smart and being strategic in the way you fight. Somebody say, this is the most fighting I've ever seen Shakur do. Taylor Bell said, here, boy, it's all big fight.

Well, look, he has a, he's in the Zuffa, Zuffa, and he says, you know, hey, fights can be made. Yeah. We're going to see. We've heard this before, Ocho and Joe. Yeah. We'll see if they're going to make the fights the people want to see. Don't seem like belts are important anymore.

But I think the thing is, you tell me, look, you can fight for a belt for seven, eight million, or you can fight for without a belt for 15, 20. I think they're going to take the 15-20. All day long. What? You need to be in Tank Corner to promote that fight with Shakur. Look, that'll be a huge, I mean, all these guys, but Tank Shakur, you think that'll be the biggest, the biggest of the four?

What? Man, hell, yeah. I think people have to understand, listen, even with Tank troubles. Tank is, it will still be considered to face the boxing. Even with him getting in trouble. Some people might say it, Canello. Some people might say it's Bud. Well, Bud, no.

Tank can still out an arena by himself. Bud, Bud with the phase and retired. Yeah. Tank can sell out a stadium by itself, Joe. Huh? Man, he could be fighting a teddy bear. He's going to sell the arena out. Let me ask you a question, Joe.

Ocho. What do people like about Tank so much? That goddamn power you got. and somebody going to sleep nine times out of 10. Hey, hey, you're going to sleep if you go out there, wow. But if you like roach and you stay technical sound from the middle sound, you can take his ass in distance. Yeah, hey, styles win fights, Joe.

Because you definitely got to watch that, because he got dynamite in that left hand and he catch you with that uppercut or that hook. Yeah. Mm-hmm, yeah. Like he called Garcia. Man, who did he, pit bull? He caught pit bull in that club.

with that uppercut, oh no, he caught Frank Martin. Frank Martin. He's like, man, Frank Martin, that head like Rock'em's Salkin'Robot. Y'all remember that Rock'em Sarkin'Robot that red, that blue? Yep. Once you got his head loose, man, that joke could barely judge you the head could. Like, damn. Well, you got some power, boy.

I saw that home boy that be quiet when he gets shaky, but he got that fire on him. Yeah, yeah. Hey, in the cut, just checking it, just checking it out. Just seeing what you're going on. You know what I'm talking about? Hey, damn. Yeah.

Yeah. Shakur, my favorite fighter, but he's been having animosity to the war for almost a year or nine, and you can tell he still feels that way. Yeah. Yeah. Because the thing was, all I said was, it's not entertaining.

He brought up my situation. What that got to do with my opinion of you're not entertaining to me? You might be entertaining to 15,000, 15 million people. I'm one person. Hey, you know what? When it comes, regards to boxing, not even Shakur. When it comes to sports, we all have an opinion on everybody we watch. Everybody's not going to like you.

Some people are, some people are, but everybody's going to have an opinion. Hey, honestly, that was, that made the show tonight to me. Hey, listen, y'all, I don't know if you're going to be able to kill two hours with the topics we had, guys. And I didn't, I didn't expect him to stay on that. long but I kind of you know yeah in talking kind he where he kind of wanted to go yeah you want to get to that point about me you can hear it in his voice like I could tell he was ready to get you know what I mean yeah yeah and so I was like okay oh you know I swat through it to Ocho and you know yeah I was like well damn you got it

it's back to me I said oh look here we go and you like let me ask you that was that was that was let me ask you something Joe and Ocho you know you know You already know. You already know what's coming. That was good. When they say that's good for TV, that's good. That was great for what we do.

What's up, Nightcap, fam, MMA, UFC is way better than simple fact, the best fight the best. I'm still waiting on Fury versus Joshua and boxing. I think they're supposed to fight. Don't they got a fight coming up, Joe? Oh, Joe. Tyson, if you're Anthony Joshua,

I think they got a fight coming up. Yeah, not scheduled. But I think they agreed to fight. Yeah, hey, but it would have been a lot better if this was about two, three years ago, though. Listen. And you're there for heart-wrenching knockouts. The world's biggest stage.

Okay, if you know me, you know this. I'm always searching for inspiration, for support, and useful tools to help maximize joy. So this podcast lets us uncover all of that together. We're going to have these meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people, like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges that she never saw coming. 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. 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 IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Declaration, which is full of these beautifully rendered sentences and paragraphs about enlightenment ideals, does also have this darker history to it. Why is it important for the darker part of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution?

Why is it important that Americans know about it? Well, if we don't understand the full context in which our nation was founded, we won't understand the full context in which our nation now finds itself. I'm Rebecca Nagel. Gohin, Taoadol, Julyette, Lee, Ge'Lean, citizen of Cherokee Nation. Are you guys big Chiefs fans? Hell yeah. This is First America, the true story of how the United States came to be,

and how we got to this present moment. Listen to First America on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Munga Shat Together and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about and what it really means to live forever for all of us. I learned about some rad science. I can make a brain for you, and then we can test what draw is the best for your brain, as opposed to his brain. Here's some hard truths. I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five-year acceleration.

And get myself into a world of trouble. I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive How to Live Forever on the IHeart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. They say they're supposed to fight late 26th, potentially November. But it also hinges on both fighters winning their tune-up matches in July. Yeah. So, more, that'll be, they're going to win them tune-ups.

That's going to be, that'd be a little. a monster fight, but I think, but I think, Ocho and Joe, I do think that's why the UFC, because Dana White not gonna let you duck, you can't have no belt, you ain't ducking nobody. You're not. Yeah. And you hold that belt for,

if you can hold onto a belt for a period of three years, because man, anything can turn the lights out of a fight. Yep, quick guys be winning the whole, and then boom, get caught with something and it's over. The whole power of Short circuit So but I do think

I do think that has a lot to do With the rise of the UFC And the fall of boxing Hopefully boxing is coming back Because we did get we got bud and canello It's the same thing we said about Pachial Mayweather We probably got that about five years too late

We take it But what could have been Or maybe what should have been? Or maybe what should have being right on gain respect he told Mel it made with a 2.0 he felt like he didn't walk it back Shakur ain't like that tea tank getting him out of here look I think it's gonna be a great fight I want to see it I'm we gonna be there yeah oh yeah they fight we are going to be there definitely going to that because uh I saw I saw bud and uh well Ocho you and I went to the

the uh the bud uh Canello fight Canelo can I went to the uh bud spitz fight right oh you was there for that yeah yeah man I'm I feel I feel bad that fight man he did ooh I feel man it was worse in person oh cho yeah you ain't boy listen you got to tell me I wasn't as close as we were for the bud canello fight because oh cho you know we about eight rows about six rows back oh yeah And he's in the fight, though? Who? Yeah, he fight, he fight Tim Zhu.

When, when, Ojo? Is it July? Hey, Chad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's coming up. It's coming up real soon, Joe. It might be July. Wait, I think July 25th or July 22nd.

I could be wrong. Yeah. But it's coming up. It's coming up. You play football, you play basketball, you play baseball. You don't play boxing. If you know, you know. No.

You don't play anything. You don't play any, what of that, combat sport. I mean, boxing, MMA, MUTI, or whatever the case may be, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And the thing is, that's one-on-one. Is it, ain't no, ain't no time out. Nope. Ain't no give me a break.

Ain't no resting when the ball on the other side of the field, ain't no, ain't no, none of that. Okay, check nobody. in for you. Hey, Ocho, hey, get in the O'A. Like wrestling, you, we tag in it? Ocho, hop over the top rope?

Hey, none of that. Hey, hey, you're talking about mental toughness, bro. You got to have it. You got to have it. That's a, I mean, you got to think about that, bro. I mean, think about it.

I mean, that's a fight. I mean, we're fighting in football, Locho, but you know, sometimes, hey, sometime, Ocho, we're just running off. I ain't blocking nobody. I'm just going to release outside. You just, you chase me. down the field. Now, sometimes I got,

hey, I got, Joe, I got to lock up. Yeah. Yeah. And this right here, you got to be laser focused for 36 minutes. One mistake. One mistake. And they'll change everything. Yeah, like, ugh. Nah,

court needs to respect his elders. Not bad. He's good, man. He good. We good. What a big three entertaining segment? Y'all going to have all three teams to fight your court. same time, night camp outside. Now, Ocho, Ocho say you want that sparring work.

Yeah, I'm gonna go on there. Y'all, yeah, we gotta film that too. Man, okay. Ocho, go ahead. Huh? He gonna get the best of me, Joe, but I mean, you, it's one thing for me to say it, but when you, when you see, you be like,

okay, now I see why you do all that. But Joe, Ocho, say he's doing that, so you get scared, you don't want none of this. That's what he doing that for. Again, who ain't gonna want none? none. Man, Ocho, Ocho, Ocho, knee high to a duck's ass. What are you going to do with me? Huh? It man can't do that with me? Okay. What, what, how you got to do with it? Your little bit of ass. You go, that's why I'm trying to take, man, listen.

And you know who else is big? You know who else is big? Goliath? And what happened? What David did to him? Oh, you were doing? God doesn't touch you. God told you what you're going to do, huh, Ocho? Well, yeah, I'm going to touch his ass. Hey, I got it all. Hey, I got it all. He got to worry about God, I'm going to touch his ass. That one need to worry about. Yeah.

That way he need to worry about. You're talking about God. You need to talk about Joe. Yeah. Hey, Joe. Hey, you keep on talking, but you're going to be on here with two black eyes, right?

All right. What's up, Nightcap, fam? Today was my wife's birthday. Portia Seals, Catledge. Give her a shout out. Please love you guys so much. Oh, number one, we all know it. Come on, bro.

Porsche. go. Hubby said he wanted his birthday. Happy birthday, Porsche. Happy birthday, Porsche. She was Cadillage. Today was her birthday guy. She celebrated birthday and a hubby wanted to give her a shout out.

Say, you know what? He said, look, ain't nobody going nowhere. He said, you going to be with her? She going to be with you? Or we're going to be together. Those are the only three choices we got. Now, which one is going to be? You be with her, she be with you, y'all be together.

Porsche, You got a keeper. Yes, sir. Would you say the fact a starter hasn't been named yet is proof your doer is a legitimate shot at winning the job? Forget the money. Todd coaching for his job. Yeah.

I didn't think, I didn't, me personally, Ocho, I didn't think they was going to name one until they get to the, until they get the training camp. Now, they might already, we know how that is. They already got the guy they won't start. Yeah. But they just play it. That's just me.

That's what I think. But why I've been hearing all these trade rumors what should do it though. I don't believe it. Ain't anything. He ain't going nowhere. That's just me. I don't believe it, Joe. I don't. I guess we're going to be back in the same sense.

Let's just say for the sake of argument, you do trade. Let's just say it came true. In that case, you're going to be looking for another quarterback next year. Because I don't think any of us believe that Deshaun is going to be there. So now, are you saying you got the quarterback? They got your guy, Joe from Arkansas. Oh, yeah, green.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you say that's your guy. I mean, at some point in time, at some point in time, we've got to stop the carousel and just and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, ride, ride it. At some point in time, we can't, I mean, you can't keep playing musical chairs at the quarterback was in, you know, Joe. Joe, you got to have stability there.

Yeah. part is finding somebody to be, you know, finding that quarterback to be stable. Yes. And you can't, okay, you go a couple of games and he doesn't play well and they booing and then you snatch him out. You got to ride, sometimes you got to ride through turbulent waters. Everything ain't going to be smooth sailing. I think sometimes we fall in love and they think everything's going to be smooth.

It wasn't smooth for Brady. It wasn't smooth for Manning. They were a run first team. The first couple of Super Bowls that Tom won, they were a run first team. They evolved to a throw team. Right. It's, hey, man, when the infrastructure ain't right, Ocho.

No. I'll give it the A, hey, it's hard to put a quarterback out there. Even if he is good, hell, you won't see it. No. No. I lie to New York Jets. Do you guys think LeBron wants to move his family back to the East Coast when he has a lot going on on the West Coast.

I'm not so sure that his family would move. Right. Zuri is in school. Savannah has what she has going on. I think LeBron's mom, she has a place, you know, she still has a place in Akron and she got to play. I think she has a place out in L.A.

I'm not sure. But I don't know if he would uproot his family. Yeah, I don't think so neither, man. I mean, considering the fact that. Zuri is in volleyball and she's in school. has her activity, she has her stuff. I don't think he would, but hey, we'll see. We'll see.

And wherever he goes, okay, Ocho, the state probably won't be no more than two years, if that. You know what I mean? Right. So I don't see that neither. Right. Yeah, because if you think about it, everywhere else, I mean, we knew he was going to be in, we knew he was going to be in Miami for four years. Yeah.

He went back to Cleveland, we know he's going to be there for four years. And then go to L.A. and, you know, he kept, you know, two plus one, two plus one, two plus one. So, you know, then it was one plus one. We want to thank you guys for joining us for another episode of Nightcap. We want to thank our very, very special guest,

a four division champ. Shakur Stevenson joins us. He joined the Zupa Boxing League. That's the league, Turkish Ali, Dana White, and Khan. So I'm going to thank you guys. I want to thank him for joining us. We really appreciate that. He mentioned that he wants to fight before this year is out.

He gave us four names, Devin Haney, Tank Davis, Lamont Roach, and Gary Russell. Those are the names that he wanted to fight.

Yes. I mean, I don't really listen to rap, but when his album comes out, I normally listen to it. Uncun Joe and Chat, Future just dropped. It is. Yeah, yeah, it just came out. I'm looking at the- Out of there right now. Yeah, all 22 songs just came out.

Oh, and you know, AJ Dobanskin, Darren Peterson played against each other tonight. Yeah, I saw what you called him. He went to the hole, DeBondon went to the hole and flushed it hard. Yeah, he had, he had 27, DeBosca had 27, Peterson had like 22, 23. Oh, look, it's going to be one of those where they go back and forth for years and years to come, Joe. It is. It's been great if they were in the best book in the Western Conference, so that no, we're going to get them up fourth time a year at least.

Right, right, right. But I think it's going to be a hell of a battle between them two for years come. You're right. I mean, two great young talents, bro. Like, I don't think they got it wrong. I know Peterson had them first couple games in the Summer League and everybody was talking about how he should have been the number one pick.

But, hell, you hadn't seen AJ. You know what I mean? Like these people. They saw him tonight. Them boy can go, man. Thank you for your support and your continue support.

So hopefully we'll get an opportunity to see him fight one of the big four guys that was on his list. Yeah, we like to see him fight tank, but if it's Devin Haney, if it's Lamont Roach, or if it's Gary Russell, we'll take any of those four. That's what we want to see. We want to see the best fight the best, and those are some of the best fighters that we have currently, and to see them going up against each other, that would be much, much appreciated. Again, thank you for tuning in for Nightcap. I'm Unc, he's Ocho, he's ISO. We're off tomorrow, but we'll see you.
