Search 40s and free agents and listen now. Quentin Richardson doesn't like Victor Wimbi Yama trying to politic his way to an MVP. I like everything about Wembe, but I didn't like that. Bigfeller, your game is doing all the talking. I don't feel he should have had to go up there in politics to prove why he's the MVP. Now, I also say he's not the MVP this year, SGA is. My era really wasn't like that. We wouldn't go up there and say, I should be the MVP.

why we would be like in the locker room, what is he doing? Right, right. It's a different times, bro. It is. But I definitely agree with Q. You got to let your game do all of talking. Let your game do all of talking. I don't, I ain't with that neither, Uncle Ocho.

You know, you out here politicking for yourself. Man, your job is to put your skills and talent on display. And then you let the, let the fans, let the voters do the rest. You know what I mean? But, yeah, he ain't going to be MVP this year. But I promise y'all, boy, in the next five years, I wouldn't be surprised he had two or three of them things. Yeah.

Hey, Joe, you don't like that, Joe? Him politician. I don't, I wouldn't even, I mean, obviously it is politicking, but you just said it. Putting your game and your skill on display, he'd do it every night. Every time he'd out there. So just throwing that out there just a little bit, you know, to add a little season on the flavor, you know,

based on his game and what he's already doing, he's showing what he can do on the office and end, on the divans' end, hell, he he hell to deal with. Yeah, I don't hear it. No doubt about it. Let me, let me tell you about it a little bit, huh? Let me tell you about a little bit. Should you politic?

Hold up a sign. Vote for me. I'm the candidate. A vote for Sharp is a vote for success. Right. Hey, hey, you know, you know, Ocho, he played a wide receiver position, man. You know, they divals. Well, Uncle Luh, Uncle Lund,

um, might be considered a little wide receiver too, huh? Yeah, Uncle Deva, I don't like the word that they use. I hate that, I hate that moniker, but I mean, anytime, Joe, you got any type of personality, any type of individualism, you know, you outlandish, you know, you express yourself in the way that they don't see fit. They use the word diva. I don't like the word. Because it's when it's connected, it's a negative connotation that's attached to it. When it's a team sport. Now, if you're a boxer or golf or somebody, I mean, right, right, right, you know, it may.

you know, it may be a little different, especially for a boxer. Yeah, you got a campaign for yourself. But when you play in a team sport, I think it's just a little different because I don't care what you say, you need your teammates. Yeah, absolutely. But I think that's why, you know, it kind of gets a, it gets frowned upon. Yes, it's a, it's a bad rap. I don't like the word.

They make it seem like wide receivers on the own one that need their teammates. The quarterback needs a teammate too, but when he fired it, oh, that's passion. And we do it as a problem. I get it. Ocho could have said less effing go all the time. What is he doing over there? That's a mild content. He's trying to fire his teammate up.

One is frowned upon. One is smiled upon. Yeah. Yeah. But I get it. I get it. Ocho, this is going to be right up your alley. John Lynch said the 49 is dug deeper into the NFLPA report card

in which team training staff grades were relatively poor. The 49 is found that players wanted more 101 attention. So guess what they're doing, Ocho? hiring three more PTs, invested $9 million in hydro areas, clode punch and pools, which had graded low at the team facility. Okay.

This is why that's what I want them out, because they don't want that report out there. Yeah. Instead of like, oh, man, I can't believe they did this. They did something about it. What the NFL do? See, NFL don't want no negative grades,

so they suppress that. Yeah. Whoa, whoa. So we're getting real of pro football focus grades. That's an independent party. But you know what? Ocho, I want to get, I want us to get back in good graces with the NFL. Right.

I'm shut up. Right. Listen, I'm picking up what you put down, but obviously this is a good thing. This is a good thing for the players. Obviously, you know, when it comes to the 49ers, they already have a bad rep. You know, when it comes to injuries, they've had a bad injury history over the years. Obviously, I like what Fred Warner said when he came on the show, we were down there in San Francisco and debunking the fact that it had anything to do with the power plant.

The fire plant that is sitting adjacent. He just said, obviously, it's football. It's a barbaric sport. Injuries do happen. But where the 49ers are choosing to do and adding, you know, three PTs and, and, and. Cold plunge and things like that, yes. Improvement of some of those things to see if they can,

they can help reduce some of these injuries that they are having, you know, in season is a great thing. It's a good thing. My bad, they don't already have all this, Uncle Ocho. They have it, but they're adding more. Yeah, I would have thought they did. Hey, that goddamn Bengals facility, you hear me? I don't know how much money they pumped into that.

Hey, Joe, the locker rooms. I ain't never seen nothing like that, Joe. Man, I ain't never seen nothing like that, boy. It looked like, I don't even know how to explain it. I don't even know how to explain it. I just, I've never, because what I'm used to when I walked in the locker room, Joe, Yeah. You know? And when I went into Bengals locker room now, like today, I'm like, man, it's almost unfair. Oh, Joe. It's almost unfair. Hey, Uncle, you ever been to the Hawks practice facility, the one they got next to Emory?

Yeah. I haven't been to it, but I saw it. I went, I went and looked at it. I was like, okay, y'all, y'all, y'all did it, not? It's nice, Joe? Oh, man, Ocho, every time I go in there, because I do a lot of work with the Hawks, I get, I get pissed off every time I walk in there. Well, y'all had it when I was here. Man, when I was playing here, we got one, listen, at the arena, at State Farm Arena, it was called Phillips Arena back in the day. It's one small practice court inside the arena. That's what we practice at every day, bro.

Like when I walk into their practice facility now, Ocho, I'm talking about a state of the art, partner. You hear me? I'm talking about everything, the bells and whistles, they got it. I'm talking about, man, listen. I'm thinking about getting me an intern with the strength and conditioning coach, man, just so I can go in there and work out. You know what I mean?

And keep the guys right. Yeah. What? Hey, I want to be nosy. I should have asked somebody how much, you know, Mr. Brown and the Brown family poured into the training room, the locker room, the weight room, the nutrition, the cafeteria. Hey, Joe, it's like walking in some five-star hotel.

When you talk about the bells and whistles with all the lightning, hey, all the charging stations and all that stuff. Hey, my man. A, a, uh-un, the player's lockers. Yeah. Everything all lit up with the name. And I'm like, yeah. Oh, big old comfy chairs.

Oh, man, they got a good. Hey, Joe, unbelievable. Like, did that, the training room with the, with the pools and the, I mean, listen, I didn't spend no time in the training room. The only time I went in there was it, you know, at halftime, nigga the IV, you know, when it was hot because I would always cramping my calf muscles.

Yeah. I mean, I was jealous. I was jealous. I am too. I am too, Joe. I ain't going on lie. I been to, yeah. Yeah, it's a man, look here.

They got all these dip tanks and infrared and bio. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they got cryo. Yeah, they got all that. They got the Broncos got like two or three cryo tanks. They got all these infrared sonnals and infrared beds and stuff to put on it. I still don't understand that. Those cold plunges, they got like three, four cold plunges. They got sonnels, steam room.

Hey, you understand that? What, they got three of those infrared, what you call it? Infrared sunnals. Yeah. They got the band and the songs. Yeah. What the hell? What is that for?

It's to help to, it's to help your, like, red blood cells for recovery. Okay, Ocho. So it's like giving your red blood cells a shot of espresso. You know what I mean, to kind of wake them up. It speeds up healing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And recovery. Yeah.

Hey, my favorite one is that, that hydro tub when they got the treadmill inside that, uh, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. You get that water. You can get on that treadmill. Man. They take all the, and all boys. So ain't no pressure.

Ain't nothing on the knees, the ankles, the joints. Hey, I can run on that thing all day. You hear me. Hey, Joe, that's for when you hurt, right? When you hurt and you're coming back from injuries? Well, it ain't necessarily when you hurt. You can do it for recovery because, you know, just being in the water, it's recovery. So they should make us get in the pool.

Like, we're on the road. They'll wake you up early in the morning, make you go to the pool and just walk around and, like, five feet of water for, like, 20 minutes. That's an act of recovery. Okay. So to have a treadmill under the water, like, I mean, that was everything, bro. Hey, look, I was always fascinated.

I hated that thing. Did you? Because, you know, the way it was set up, because you had a current. So, you know, you had a current going to get you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Man, look and turn that thing down. Let me. Hey. Hey, Joe, did you like the cold tub, Joe? I ain't like it, but I used to do. I used to do the hot and cold contrast, oh, Joe. Yeah.

Hey, Joe, I love that cold tub, boy. You know, my crazy ass, I would wait to people be in the cold tub, and I wait to the all in there, and I go jump in. I go, I cannonball in there. Hey, they used to hate that, Joe. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't get in his splash and out of that water, man. You need to sit down and be still.

Because when we first started, you know, our cold tub was a trash cans. Huh? The chattrofts. Yeah. Yeah, no, no cold plunge, no taintling. Sit your ass on a big ass on whatever rubber made trash cans. You serious? Yeah.

Yeah. I remember that. Damn. At home, that's what I did. I went to a farm, I went to a farm store, a feeder store, and got me a cow trough. Yeah. That's what I had. Yeah.

I would go to a convenience store, get me 10 bags of ice. Ice? Okay. Yep. And then I was like, you know what? Then I bought me an ice maker. that made 200 pounds of ice. There you go.

With that in there, yeah. Now you're cooking with grease, boy. Yeah, yeah. I had everything. I got the Norma Tech boots and I got a game ready. Yeah. You had all that stuff. Yeah.

I had a laser. I let somebody barred and then never gave it back to me. Tony Banks. Oh, man. I got that, hey, I got that infrared son in my yoga studio. God damn, too. I have a couple. I have a cup now.

You got one in the studio? Yeah, I got cryotherapy in the studio. studio, Ocho, we ain't playing. You're going to come out of that glowing, baby. Eyes going to be like this here. Yeah. You got, Joe, you got money. What? Here we go. I'm just saying, I only seen stuff like that,

you know, in the movie. It ain't about having no money, Ocho. You know, it's just being, it's about being intentional. Being proactive. Hey, well, hey, you know how you be intentional and proactive, Joe? By having money. What are you talking about?

What are you getting to do? from man who raises through? Hey. Hey, Hey, a, a, check this out real quick, right?

What's up? What do you call friends that eat together? Like, you know, friends, like, you know, what do you call friends

that eat together? Friends that eat together. Yeah. Hmm. Friends. Friends to eat together. Friends to eat together. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever?

That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court,

we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas.

S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments of the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you.

Hey, Ojo. Ojo, they say you laugh like Kermit the Frog. The man got taste buds. Oh, that was a good one. You wait, do you find out what the NFL trying to do about these players' contract? Ocho, you ain't going to be laughing. Well, we'll talk about that tomorrow. All right, it's time for our final segment of the evening.

It's time for Q and A. A. They're trying to get rid of the contracts or something? Try to put a cap on how much players can make, not let the market set the value. Oh, man. Oh, here we go with the bull drive. Here we go.

Before we get to the super chat, we got some video voicemail for my day. Discord. The first one, here it is. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Oh, Joe. Iso, man. Been watching y'all boys for a long time, man. Watching y'all tonight, man. Y'all always made me laugh, man. Shout out to your boys. Keep on doing y'all thing, man. Shout out. Already, already. Appreciate that. Here's the look at the, here's the second one. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Hey, it's the famous Never Bust again, bro, and the nightcap discord. But, hey, let me talk my stuff real quick.

kind of nervous but um no i'm just kidding never nervous uh check this out though for you guys tour in san francisco would you guys return and would you guys have la russell perform again i felt like he really put on and to be honest man like the bay area we have a lot of undiscovered talent out here i'm from sacramento but i want to shout out my boy who i just met yesterday susso 916 man Hey Put on for Sack put on for NorCal, bro That's how we do it out here You see that bro

I know you guys are shave smooth as butter man Because you guys have risked people money So you guys don't have an inch of hair on you And I know like Ocho, he said he's going bald I know Sharpe's got his beard Isos got his facial going on But hey man Hey I'll be honest with you

The best way to go I don't even know what the hell I'm talking about Man Hey, he just like me, Joe, just be talking. Hey, your man, he's making no sense. It's not a good to him, though. Here's the last one. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

Yeah, family. I want to appreciate y'all to respond to my video and putting it up for the show last night. What are some pointers and tips you can give, you know, a young man like me? trying to figure out, you know, myself, trying to find my identity. Other than working, you know, my full-time job, but figuring out some side hustles that I could maybe, you know, do to potentially figure out more income strategies and different things like

that. And who helped y'all get to that journey as far as figuring that stuff out, too, you know? But yeah, that's my question to you guys. It's a small world I know people that know you guys Or have You know played against you guys Or whatever the case may be

But Yeah I appreciate y'all for real Yeah that's right up my alley Unkin Joe You talk about identity You know For one you got to figure out what your purpose is He won other side hustles

Other jobs you know to create revenue What are you passionate about? What do you like? What is it that you can do Where it doesn't feel like work there got to be some other things outside of your immediate job that you're nine and five that you go to there has to be something you like you know pour into that because when you pour into it you're going to get you're going to get you're going to get your return back on you know you're on your investment so

it's all about you understanding you know what that is for me I broke 237 jobs but all 237 are things that I'm very passionate about things that I like you know so you got to figure out what that is you know and when you create and find that purpose that becomes your identity Yeah. Yeah, me. If you build, Bill, come. What movie that was?

Build a dream. Like Ojo said, what are you good at? I knew early on what I want to do. I want to be a professional football player. So everything I did, how could I become better at that? How could I get faster, bigger, stronger? How could I get better at my craft? Once I was done with football, you transition.

Study your ass off. Learn as much as it. Because obviously, I can't just talk. football all the time. If I'm going to be on television and do a debate format, you're going to have to be able to talk about other things. Or when you go on someone's podcast,

they're going to ask you about a lot of different topics. And you're going to have to be able to seem like you're intelligent enough to have a conversation about a lot of different things. Right. So for me, that's why I've studied as much as I possibly could. I love sports. So obviously, things that I wanted to do kind of wanted to be

sitting around that. But you've got to find, like Ocho said, you got to find something that you're passionate about, something that you It doesn't feel like work, something that you want to spend time. And bro, I don't know what you do in your off time, but you're going to have to spend more time doing things that you want to get good at. And you want to, like, you say you want to make money at, that's going to have to be a part of it. Because you can't like, or I want to go to the club with the homies and I want to kick it. I want to do this, X, Y, Z.

You're going to have to become very focused and very centralized. Sacrifices, man. Got to make some sacrifices. And I agree with both of y'all. You definitely have to find something that you enjoy doing. You know what I mean? And I'm talking about I put your head down and get to work, bro. Put your head down and get to work.

Eliminate all distractions and focus on you and what it is you're trying to accomplish. For sure. Yeah, I mean, we come here. We do this. Tomorrow be six straight nights. Six straight. For real? Hey, hey, hey, but it's fun, though.

And that's it. I didn't realize them. And you build something, you know, you're passionate about it. And, you know, when I talk about it, when I talk about, for the most part, I like to think that we talk about things that we all three of us are passionate about it. Right. It ain't no man, man, Joe don't really want to talk about this. Or chill don't want to talk about that.

Okay, we don't want to talk about it. If we can't be passionate about it, let's not talk about it. Right, right. Because if we're not passionate about it, the people that's listening to it, they're not going to be passionate about it. They're not going to have an opinion one way or another. Right. Exactly.

And so we want to create content that people like, man, you heard, I don't know if I agree with Ocho on this one. I don't know if I agree with Uncle that one. I think I'm agree with Joe. I think, and that's what you, that's what you want to have. Yeah. If people are not talking about you or talking about the conversations that you had, but still, even if they're talking about you, you got to be somebody for somebody to talk about you. Yeah.

Yeah. So just keep grinding, bro. Since the kid 19, what's up, Uncle, Ocho, King, ISO. for you guys. Which city in the league did you enjoy playing in as an opponent? Ocho, who was your favorite teammate you ever played with? Shoot. What city do you like playing in, Joe and Ocho?

Oh, you say favorite city? Yeah, as an opponent, what in what city in the league did you enjoy playing in as an opponent? I got a couple, man. Yeah. Go ahead, Joe. I would probably say I enjoy playing it. LA, you know, stars always come out in LA.

You never knew who you was going to see on the sideline. I enjoy playing in Dallas, Memphis, because it's close to Lurap. Right. In those states, there's a lot of people from Arkansas that I know that live in those states. So I get a chance to really, to, I get a chance to really, when I go to Dallas or when I go to Memphis, I get a chance to really hang with guys who I genuinely grew up with. I'm talking about I've been knowing since I was six, seven years old. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? So we get a chance to catch up, you know, talk hoops or the things that we're going through. And I just feel like that's always cool, man, because growing up, I ain't going to lie to y'all. Like, I was always inspired to be an NBA player. But, you know, when you 11, 12 years old, 13 years old, it takes a while before you can actually really see that big picture. You feel what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. So to be able to have these moments, bro, to be able to make it and be a professional for 18 years and get a chance to, you know, my best friend.

live with me for 12, 13, 14 years, you know, for them to be able to experience it as well. That's probably some of the coolest stuff. So I enjoy going to those cities. And also playing in New York. New York is fun, as always, to make a basketball. And, man, even playing in Brooklyn was super fun for me. But playing in Madison Square Garden, same thing again. Stars come out, bright lights, big stage, nothing better than that.

Kansas City, San Diego, and in Oakland. Mm. Not a field, because, you know, Oakland had that baseball field. Yeah. Actually, so did San Diego. Yeah, I played on both of those. I remember. How is that?

How is that playing on fields like that? What a face is damn hard, Joe? It's hard, Joe. Man, I used to hate with it, brother. You slip in the slide because you can't cut the kids are not going to go into the hard-ass, the hard ass feel. Yeah. Hey, let me run this right.

Let me run this stick right on the other side on the grass. I remember that. You don't want to get tackled on it because it's going to scar your ass up. You ain't want to get tackling that dirt. You ain't want to get tackled because that's a hard. Hey, a,

Uncle Joe, I played against Jerry Rice and Tim Brown on, in Oakland on that, on that baseball field. And I played against Ryan McNeil and Junior Seah when they had the baseball field in San Diego.

I played on both times. But my favorite stadium to ever play in Kansas City. Because they're nothing like those fans. Yeah. They fan. 80,000 fan and all red. And it's loud. Home of the cheese.

Yeah, my favorite. Man, look here. When they used to come out, man, they introduced the defense. Yeah. And they let D.T. come out of that thing last. You couldn't hear nothing. Boy, that joke is working. That joke could come running, run and run. Because the Chile, the thing, the way they had it,

man, that joke come around that goal post. And they get the rocket, because back then, they weren't an offensive team like they are now. And like when you had preached homes, and they had Tread Green. They weren't an offensive team. They were defense. Yeah.

Boy, they get you backed up. And DT walked back there to the end zone where you backed up at. And he's talking about, y'all want that? Boy, what? Buckle up. He's coming. Vocal up, he's coming.

Joshua's petition, 5957. Shout out from the ghouls. Ocho, where's the ghoul? That's in Miami? Yeah, that down south. Okay, Celtics hyenas. I ain't worried about Shea and his dogs. What?

You need to worry about the Celtics either. Y'all need to worry about who over there? Y'all, y'all ain't got nobody worried about in the East. If they're selling to sell to. Yeah, I don't know, though. Hey, hold up. You like Detroit? You like a Detroit?

Hold on. They ain't got enough firepower over there, Unk. Can Philly, if Philly can keep, if they can stay. But the thing is, Joe, can imbid play every other day. What then? The other day. That's something he's going to have to think about, I mean, if they got him on the floor, he ain't got to give you 30 every night.

Man, his presence alone, his presence alone. it's going to be a distraction. It's going to be able to free guys up like Maxie and Edgecom and Paul George. Because he's going to demand a double. I don't care what nobody's saying. Oh, for sure. We'd hustle, love, respect. I so heard you talk about George Gerber last night.

How do you feel about Caleb Williams trying to copyright the name Iceman? I guess it's fair game. But damn, Caleb. Yeah, I did see something about that. I don't really, I guess they both filed kind of like at the same time for the trademark. I thought, Joe, he'd already had it. Talking about Gervin. Go Irving, your ice.

Yeah, I did too. I think it's a lot going on with that because I know Iceman, George Gurvin, you know, him and Drake. I think they was about to really do something big with that because, you know, Drake, I think he was going to come out. Or if not, he probably still coming out with an album called Iceman, yeah. So I think they really got some real affiliate and he was probably trying to trademark and knowing that, you know, that name really going to be worth something. but Caleb, I ain't even know why they called Caleb Iceman. Because he got ice in his vein, all the clutch throws who come from behind victories.

This postseason. Man, he's got to come up with something else. I got with Joe. Hey, he better come up with Sub-Zero or something. Hey, able to one, hey, sub-zero. Hey, they're talking about, well, I thought Chuck Ladell. Man, George Gerber was Iceman before George, Chuck Liddle was born. You hear me?

Hey. What, Sub-Zero? Yeah, he better run. Go with sub-zero. He's number 13. Caleb, you can take sub-zero. If he were a number zero, he probably would. But he, what he, 13?

No, what is Caleb? Caleb. What number he were? What number Caleb where? Is it 13? He might be 13. I think he's 18. 18.

Oh, 18. Yeah, man. And. Yeah, I thought ICE probably would have been getting paid off that already. Because the first time I was, I knew who he was, that pitcher. I remember I went to a shoe store. Yeah.

And he was sitting on, he was sitting on blocks of ice and he had the balls. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He had ice man. Yeah. Yeah. You ever had a conversation with him? No, my brother played golf with him a lot. Oh, man, he funny is all get out.

You hear me? I'm talking about boy, hey, I spent a lot of time with him last year, bro. Like, super cool dude. Dr. Franklin L. Bellamy, all right, fellas, rank these basketball movies. Loving basketball, above the rim, he got game, space jam. Damn.

Damn. He got game, loving basketball above the rim, space jam. Nah, that ain't me. I got a board of rim one. I got love. That's what I just said, above the real. Oh, he got game. I got he got game.

I got a board of rim one. I got loving basketball. two. I got, he got game three. And what was the last one? Space Jam. Yeah, Space Jam. Four. Boy, that'll be able to rim do something to me. I watched that still to this day. I just watched that last week, no lie. I don't want the soundtrack for Loving Basketball, Michelle and Dego Chello. Oh, here you go. I remember when you feel my heart with joy was a blind to the truth. Yeah. You better feel the space because now you have no interest. in anything

that I have to say I've allowed you to make me feel I feel so dumb what kind of fool am I you so easily bad that's hard that's hard I ain't gonna like to tell it if she come close

I probably seen that woman in concert probably seven, eight times anytime she come close I'll go see her I go see her Man, I went to see it one time. I think I was about to be the only straight guy and there wasn't up and women up in that thing.

I saw it at the tabernacle, Joe, in Atlanta. I saw the tabernacle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen in Denver. I've seen in L.A. And she come close, I'm going. What y'all know about plantation lullaby? Hey.

Dead End Boulevard. That's my girl there. Money Mall 87. My favorite sports movie is Any Given Sunday. Just one of y'all thoughts on the movie. I know y'all didn't play. a lot, but did, but do they party in the league

like they did in the movie? Actually, Al Pacino came, he followed Mike around. So we saw him a lot. Because he took a lot of what he was doing from Mike. So learning mannerisms and stuff. I don't know. I don't, I want

no party. I don't know what they do, Ocho. Hey, I hear the stories. Yes, they party just like that. Matter of fact, it's not exaggerated. They party more. Matter of fact, remember the show? What's the show with the Rock from back in the days? Ballers.

Ballers, yeah. It's just like that, maybe a little bit worse. You see the NFL, say, no, no, no, we don't want that no more. Oh, yeah. It's just like that, maybe a little worse. And you wouldn't understand. How they take that out, bro? I didn't miss an episode of that, bro.

What's Denzel watching? Do you understand how powerful the NFL is? Oh, yeah, they don't play. They don't play. They don't play. Do you want football or you don't want it? Hey, hey, that's exactly how it is. Some of the scenes would be exaggerated.

It's not exaggerated at all. And I love hearing the story, Joe, because even during that time, even when I was young, even when I was in my prime, I don't enjoy the nightlife. That's not what I do. I don't drink. I don't party. I don't want nobody stepping on my shoe. I'm very sociable, but not in that kind of environment.

It made no sense. But one thing, when the boys came back from the club, the next day, and I love hearing, the stories in the off season. I love it. I love it. Oh, man. Hey, hey, can you smell that look on them when they out there running? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the huddle. When they run it in the huddle, Joe. You feel like to go down there and sit in their mic going to be coming to their thing.

You just smell like a look of steel. Hey, smell it. Hey, right through their pores, especially when they start sweating up. Hey, hey, that's the funniest thing. You get to practice. I already two, three dudes sitting in the summer. Like, damn, what are all in here for? Man, we're trying to switch this alcohol.

Yep. I like that. Do you take a shower and look at this morning? Ain't no way. Ain't no way you drank that much and you still smelling like this right now. Man, what? Tommy G-16-05.

That's why I have a lot of respect for hockey players. They're tough as hell. Man, what? They're different. Yeah, them boys need different mentality to play hockey. Cam Scheisty. Oh, you being guarded by Ray

and Ocho being guarded by Revis. Why hasn't a woman formerly participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman,

and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds.

What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying.

So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments of the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you. Listen to Flakron and Funny with Carrie Champion

I think that's the guy from Tennessee. Now, I know exactly what he's talking about. Yeah, the guy from Tennessee here, a freshman, freshman feet, um, they had him project, projected as a lottery pick. He got off to a slow start of the season. I watched a lot of Tennessee play too. Then he picked it up.

And then he looked like, with that six nine frame being able to handle the rock, you know, go off the dribble, can shoot the three, shoot the middick, can get to the basket. I mean, the potential that he has, that's basically what they're going to be drafting on. Okay, Ocho.

Like his potential, like he'll be, he'll probably be, if not a lottery pick, he'll be in the teens. You know, just some raw talent that needs some work. I think he definitely got great upside, though. Stephen Johnson, Uncle Ocho, Joe. Y'all just got a shout out. Need a driver to take you to the hospital

in the next 10 minutes. Who are y'all choosing as your driver, lamello ball or Tiger Woods? Keep in mind, they must drive it out of the highway. No, I'm good. There's a good chance we're going to make it either way. Hey, that's funny. Damn.

Yeah, oh, do, Tiger. Tadah, Tadena definitely get in with a driver. Yeah, I think I'm going to have to roll with a mellow. I ain't going to lie to you. Yeah. Damn. Hey, Joe, you're all going to run into something.

I don't know what. But you're going to run into something. Yeah, Tadigna will flip the few cars. Uncle, Joe. You're going to run into something with Taga, too. You're going to probably end up on your side. Hey, if I messed up, I ain't going to be able to crawl out the window or the sunroo.

The one thing I was saying, I'm glad we can sit here and laugh about it because what Tiger done could have been a lot worse, fellas. Yeah, man. Tiger's going to definitely have to slow it down. Yeah. And like I said, whatever he has going on, you know,

he passed the sobriety test where, you know, he blew the breathalyzer and zero, but considering they want that wasn't good enough for them, they're probably assuming that he has something else in the system. There you go. I don't know. I didn't see any photos of him, so maybe they're in conversating with him.

Maybe he had slur his speech. That's what they said. Huh? That's what they said. They said when they was talking to him, he looked like he looked like he was under the influence or something. But they said it definitely wasn't alcohol. Oh, okay. T.S. Carwai's Detail Service.

Y'all think Christopher Zingas is a good fit for the warriors going forward. He can't stay healthy. He got, I mean, it can't stay healthy. And he got this thing that's going on now with him. He's with the Warriors or he would the Hawks, not Joe? No, he with the Warriors. I seen him play, I think I seen him play one game, and he looked decent. Hey, man, shout out to my guy, Moses Moody, man.

He tore his, uh, Patel Attender. Petal Attending, man. And it was bad. Did you see it? Because they showed up and he had that indention in his knee. Ah. They were playing in Dallas. I'm watching the game.

Yeah, he went up for a dunk. I saw it. I'm watching the game. He went up for a dunk, bro, and it gave out. And look, that's typically how you tell you're Patella. I'm fixing to explode. You don't tell your Patela how I tore mine somebody running into you.

You know what I mean? That's why I got to look at it. When I went in there and I got to look at, he was so puzzled when he found out how I tore mine. He was like, what you were trying to do? Explode go dunk? I was like, no. I said, man, a dude ran into me.

He need me in my quad and tore my Patel attendant. Damn. Damn. Yeah, so I hollered at Mosz. I sent him a message. He had surgery. He said, it went great. So hopefully he had a speed of real.

recovery. Go Birds 800. Hey, uh, can you tell us your best Jerome Brown story, true legend? I'd never played against Boogie. Um, unfortunately, uh, rest his soul, he passed the, the year that we're going to play them in 92. So he passed and they dedicated that season for, uh, to him. They got out to a great start, but they weren't able to sustain it. They had a really, really good defense. Um, they had Reggie, had Clyde, Seth Joyner, Byron Evans, uh, Eric, EA, They had muddy waters. They had a really good, they had a really good defensive team.

Mike Golick was on that team. But Buggy, man, he was, who, he was gonna be special. He was gonna be special. He was the one that started that tradition of great D-Lyman at the University of Miami.

After him, it came Tiz, and then you had SAP, and then you had all those other guys that came along out of there, but Buggy started it. Okay. Well, I mean, I guess you can say that. But I think Jack Youngblood went to the University of Miami also.

That was way before everybody's time. He played in the Super Bowl to broken leg, Ocho. Los Giano No. 7. Some fellas I watched Ocho training session on Insta the other day. You got to challenge Iso to a soccer session. Ocho, something got to give to you. Nah, I'm going to beat Iso at what he do. I'm going to be ISO what he's been doing since he was a child.

I'm going to be ISO and would he prefer to this crazy. at and played it the highest level and created the moniker ISO. Huh? Because when I beat you at your own thing, huh? You know what I, it's going to make you feel this small. You hear me? Yeah. It's going to make you feel small, Joe.

And one thing about it, you ain't never played against nobody that got the gift of gab that I do when it's time to compete, Joe. I'm going to be in your head, boy, Joe. I'm going to be your ears, Joe. I'm going to be in your nose, Joe. Hey, I'm going to have you so flustered. You ain't going to know what they do, Joe. You're going to want to fight me. And when you want to fight me,

Joe, that means I got you out your game, Joe. Hey, hey, Ocho, I'm way too composed for that, homie. I ain't no emotional dude. Like, you ain't going to, you know what I mean? You ain't going to trick me out of my spot. The shoulder, the forearm, the elbow, the hip. When you get through playing me, I promise you're going to feel like you've been a heavyweight fight, partner. Hey, hey, Joe.

Rills going to be hurting. Hey, Joe, can I tell you something? Go ahead. I put the ball on the flow every time. What do you mean? You know, hey, I play with my back to the basket, Joe. Huh? You hear me?

Ocho, Ocho, you're too small, man. Oh, here we go. Hey, hey, hey, hey, and I'm going to keep it real. I'm too tall to be playing small, home boy. And you know what I mean? I'm really tired of bumping guns with you. For real. For real.

I'm really ready. I'm really ready for this action. And see, you can see, as my tone started to pick up, that means you're starting to piss me out. And when I get pissed off, Ocho, You know how I get. Don't piss me off tonight, Ocho. Hey, I like that.

I like that. I want you pissed off because I know when you pissed off, that mean I'm in your head. And if I'm in your head, that means you're going to be dead. Joe, when I'm pissed off. Ocho, when I'm pissed off,

they just made me lock in a little more. You know what I mean? Joe, you locking in when I got the key. What's since that made? You locking in and I got the key, Joe? Huh? What are we talking about?

Joe, you're not going to out talk to me. You hear me? Hey, hey. No, no, that's not going to happen. Hey, what's wrong with you, bro? I'm good. I'm good. I ain't take my medicine.

Okay. All right. I'm a good to you then. B. More Cow, Big Three. What one thing you would change about the NFL or the NBA? Ocho, what you changing? About the NFL?

Yeah. I mean, I mean, honestly, even as an officer player, I would allow, I would love for the NFL to go back to high. it once was for the defensive players so they're not as handicapped as it once was. So they're allowed to play a little bit better. More so the defensive backs and safeties.

That's one small thing. One or two things. Either guaranteed contracts or lifetime health benefits if you play five years. I don't care about no doubt I'm going back the way it was. I'm talking about getting money for lifetime benefits. Yeah, well, I already said that if I was in

NFLPA, so I addressed that before a long time ago. What you're doing, Joe, What are you going to change about the NBA? What I'm going to change about the NBA? Honestly, I really don't know. I think the game is in a pretty good space and place right now with, you know, some of this young talent coming in. I'm not sure what I would change.

I like the pace in which, you know, the game is played now, the up and down pace. I'm honestly, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I can't think of nothing right out of back what I would change. Every day's deception. You said please subscribe or you'll make Ocho cry. I subscribe, Ocho, still crying.

What's up with that? Hallelo, just kidding, Ocho. I'm glad you picked the right animal mascot. Go blue. That's how I picked it. Clifford Buzzby, go a line out. Please, haters, just shut the hell up. Don't speak on Illinois if your team going to be at home

like you watching the Final Four. Oh, man. Oh, man, that's cold. That's cold. Shout out to Illinois, bro. Mike and Mike, what's up, Big Three? ISO, would you ever go coach your hogs? And still!

And still what? And still loss. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Huh? I'm going to get you by that and still. That's over and done with the man. Ask the question. Can I answer the question?

Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Man, look, look, I'm always in some form of capacity, Uncle Ocho. I'm always going to be there for my hogs. You know what I'm saying? Coach it, I don't know. But they know if any time, you know, they need me all,

they got to do it hit my phone. I don't mind going up to spend a little time hanging with the fellas, giving them, you know, teaching them the ropes, showing them how to be a pro because college is a professional sport now. And what better guy to have go back outside of, you know, former pros like myself or guys that still playing who went to the university, I think we have somewhat of an obligation to be able to come back, man, and have our presence around to where, you know, because as a kid, I don't know about

y'all, but when I was a kid, 16, 17, 18, 19, I had a lot of questions, bro. And if I could talk to a guy who played the professional sport that I'm trying to play, man, I'm taking that all day long. I'm taking that all day long. So I had guys like Corliss Williamson who played for the Razorback to won the National title played in the NBA won an NBA championship with Detroit Pistons. Like I've been

knowing him since I was in high school. So getting a chance just to rap with him, get some game from him. You know, it makes you want to work even harder. Alan Fletcher 23. What's up, guys? How's it feeling when you can't make a basket like Yukon missing threes tonight? They made the one that count.

Yeah? Yeah. It's demoralizing, bro. It's demoralizing, though. You know, because you work so hard to get to this point of the season, you know, to get in the postseason, to get in the NCAA tournament, and then you get that role and you can't make shots that you normally make on a day-to-day basis, I think that's the most frustrating part. Yes.

Various 117. Ocho is 23 too late to getting back into football, if not any advice where to start, trying to make it to the NFL. Did you even, do you play high school ball? Did you play college ball? Paulus. Yeah. You gotta, you gotta be special too. You hear me?

It got to be something special about you, too. But y'all know what it is, right? Huh. It's, you know, some cats don't know how to take the game series until it's taken away from them. And then they come back at like 22, 23, 24, and trying to go pro in whatever sport it is. And it's just a lot harder. It's a lot harder. I'm talking about way harder.

It's easier to get in and stay that it is to get out and get back in. Hello. Yeah. T-Loc 243. Stay blessed, Chad, family. Chase your dreams. Don't walk after them. Know that you are the one that you've been waiting for to make the difference.

Hope that everyone has an amazing week, much love, ISO, Ocho, and up. Appreciate that, man. Appreciate it, bro. Yes, sir. Chase them. And they should shock you. Because if your dreams don't shock you, it ain't big enough. Hello.
