but the super bowl is before valentine's day that's really a holiday it sure is so we got we
got we got super bowl we got valentine's day so i what so i what i'm thinking is i have a question before we even
start the show is valentine day is that a day for where men should express gifts as well or is it
just strictly for women no valentine be my valentine it don't say be my valentine uh men
uh women only men get to be valentine's too, so women are supposed to get men gifts as well.
And I'm trying to,
I'm trying to understand where have women got the perceived notion that
Valentine's day is strictly just for them.
Cause we've been dumb enough to make them believe that and only get gifts
and never receive gifts.
So that's where that came from.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I just want to make sure i just want
i just want to clarify to make sure when the 14 rolled around i had me a gift as well okay bet
i'm gonna get something i'm gonna get something i'm gonna get something
uh oh so let's get right into it yes sir if keeping mike mccarthy in dallas jerry said i
believe this team is very close and capable of achieving our ultimate goals.
The best step forward for us will be with Mike McCarthy as our head coach.
Jerry detailed there are many layers of success and progress.
McCarthy has overseen three straight postseason eligible seasons.
He also praised McCarthy's relationship with the players.
Ocho, what's Jerry saying? season eligible seasons. He also praised McCarthy relationship with the players. Oh, Joe,
what's Jerry saying?
Jerry saying is,
is he is comfortable with mediocrity in the regular season because we're at all
counts is in the post season.
Correct.
Your head coach is supposed to be a leader of men that is able to get them to get over the hump at some point for one with teaching.
I'm trying to think of a better word without me having to be rude in the way that I speak it.
But if Mike McCarthy can't get them over the hump, pass the first round, pass the divisional
round, what does that tell you? The record looks good. You're not playing the game of football
for regular season and going 12 and three or 13 and two or whatever it might be.
If your standard is wanting to win a championship, wanting to win a Super Bowl title,
then you have to make the certain changes. And the changes for winning that starts with a championship, wanting to win a Super Bowl title, then you have to make the certain changes.
And the changes for winning that
starts with a quarterback, not a quarterback,
excuse me, starts with your head coach.
If everything else is working
or you feel everything else is
working and you're so close,
then what's the problem?
How do you miss it?
How do you miss it?
Why not go get, you got Jim Harbaugh out there.
You got Bill Belichick out there.
You have, there's one more coach.
There's one more coach out there that I can't think of.
Mike Vrabel?
Vrabel, yeah.
You know, I like Vrabel.
There's somebody else though.
Somebody else that has a winning resume, has a winning pedigree.
But again, the funny thing about it,
the names that I'm naming
are names where all the attention
would be off of Jerry Jones.
All the attention would be,
it would be about Jim Harbaugh
or it would be about Billy Belichick.
That's why I think he didn't go after
a coach of that magnitude
so he could retain that attention
and always be front and center
as he's done consistently throughout the years.
And I'm hoping the results aren't the same, but he keeps doing it his way.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results.
And I'm assuming I don't want it to be that way, but I'm assuming that's what's going to happen this year as well.
Do what you've always done. You'll get what you've always gotten.
You see, the fact of the matter is that 12-5,
because here's the thing, Ocho, where's the downside?
The game was a blowout, and it drew 40 million viewers.
Okay, the last three years they
made the playoffs, they've gone out of
the playoffs unceremoniously.
So, what
changes?
What changes? Jerry's okay
with that because Ocho, he doesn't lose
any money. It's not
predicated. Him getting millions and millions
of dollars to make the Super Bowl, Jerry's
going to get his money regardless. So, there's no who is he who is he fooling in why why is this way oh i say
all this stuff at the beginning oh i i want to be a super bowl contender i can't wait till we get
back to those though that that era of the 90s and understanding what it takes to get there for one
getting a coach that can do it outside of just the regular season.
Mike McCarthy has a great resume.
He has a Super Bowl resume.
But again, I saw a graphic.
There are other coaches that have the same resume as him.
He's a Super Bowl champion.
Oh, you're talking about Pete Carroll.
That's the other coach you were talking about, Pete Carroll.
Yeah, you're right.
Pete Carroll as well.
Mike McCarthy has had Brett Favre.
He's had Aaron Rodgers.
And he's had Dak Prescott.
There might be someone else I'm missing there somewhere.
No.
No?
No.
I mean, he had a quarterback when Dak got hurt for a couple of games.
I forget his name.
Yeah.
I think maybe a 16-year tenure, maybe 16, 17, maybe 15. He had a quarterback when Dak got hurt for a couple of games. I forget his name. Yeah.
I think maybe a 16-year tenure, maybe 16, 17, maybe 15.
I'm not sure the exact number.
And you have one Super Bowl, one Super Bowl to show for it. And you're trying to get back to that pinnacle of reaching it again.
And I don't know if he's the guy for the job.
I would think he'd be really serious about it. I think he would consider as a GM, as a Hick, as a GM, as the owner, as really every goddamn title.
You make a change.
But I guess he didn't see fit.
No.
Jerry wants to do.
Here's the thing.
Ocho, I would rather lose my way than win some other way.
Right.
So in other words, I'm going to lose.
But if I bring in a Belichick, if I bring in somebody else and they win, now I'm not going to get the credit.
What does it matter?
But that's why you think he got rid of Jimmy.
If it didn't matter, he would have kept Jimmy.
It does matter.
Can I get a little context on this?
Do you know the reason why it didn't work with Jimmy,
with Jimmy and he had just won a Superbowl?
Do you know the reason why?
No,
it wasn't just a Superbowl.
It was back to back Superbowls because Jimmy,
because when he won,
he wanted to be a part of it.
And Jimmy wouldn't,
wouldn't,
didn't include him.
So that's what made him feel a certain type of way he was like hold on this is my ish
and then you treat me like I'm an outsider like I'm a fan and I'm not a fan I'm the owner
if you don't I don't understand no other owner no other owner is at the forefront
no none every blue moon they'll say something you know if the only time you see him sometimes I don't understand. No other owner. No other owner is at the forefront. No. None.
Every blue moon, they'll say something.
You know, the only time you see them sometimes when they come on the sideline before the game, when they come down the sideline after the game, any other time, you get a clip of them in the skybox.
Right.
That's it.
Short clip.
ESPN might talk about them.
Amazon.
That's it.
Right. Jerry wants to's it. Right.
Jerry wants to be front and center.
Dude, you make the most revenue of any team.
Yes.
You are their richest team.
What more do you need?
We know who you are.
Credit for winning a Super Bowl.
Because who was the owner that he gravitated to when he first bought the team when he was in the league?
Al Davis.
When you think of the Raiders, who do you think of al davis al davis so when jerry is the only other owner is that you think of it if you go back to the modern era if you go back to any
sport right he's like george steinbrenner when you think of the yankees it was george steinbrenner
right mr cyber that's that's who it was there were a lot of other owners but it was him
so when you think of the
cowboys and they've had great players
it's Jerry
and that's what he loves
he loved that attention, Jerry is like
a rock star
there are a lot of billionaires
that have way more
money than Jerry
but they don't garner the
attention that Jerry does. That's what he likes. That's what he craves. So maybe that's the issue.
Maybe that's the issue. At what point, how can somebody not close to Jerry get him to understand?
Maybe we're not getting there because of you always being front and center.
Maybe that's the issue. How do you not see that? How does someone close to him?
You know, when you have too many yes men around you, you have too many yes men around you.
They don't they don't tell you the issues because they don't want to mess up the flow of income or whatever it is that you're receiving.
It makes no sense. Listen, a blind man can see what the issue is.
No.
Some people say, oh, some people say, oh, it's the players.
Well, God damn, it's been 30 years.
You blame the players every year.
They've had they've had different coaches.
Are you going to blame the coaches every year?
Oh, Joe.
When it comes to winning, if I'm not mistaken, it always starts at the top, right?
Right.
It does.
It always starts at the top, right? And it it does. It always starts at the top, right?
And it trickles down from that point on.
Yes.
It ain't rocket science.
Ocho, the blindest man isn't the man that cannot see.
It's the man that chooses not to see.
Hmm.
That is why I carry his problem.
Wait a minute.
Hold on. He's not not blind stay right there for me
well because you done started early you done started early with the coast boy
yeah let me get that one yes you're gonna use that on rail huh you're gonna use that on rail
i ain't gonna use it on her ain't going to use it on her.
I ain't going to use it on her.
Yes, sir.
Well, I like that one.
Now, the blindest man is the one that cannot see.
Who drew it?
Did the kid draw it in your book?
Yeah, man.
The baby.
The blindest man is the one that cannot see.
Is the one that chooses not to see.
Is the one
that chooses
not to see.
And that's Gary's problem.
Yeah.
I mean, think about this here.
So, okay,
you got rid of,
you said you got rid of
old Jason Garrett because Jason
Garrett was mediocre. He was 8-8.
Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy
in the playoffs, 1-3.
Jason Garrett and
Dak Prescott was 1-2.
Tony Romo and Jason Garrett
was 1-1. Wade Phillips
and Tony Romo was
1-2. So tell me what's the difference?
What's the difference between
and all I hear is
how great the talent is.
This team reminds me of those 90
Super Bowl teams. I'm as proud
of this team as I've ever
been around any Cowboys team
and I'll include those Super Bowl winning
teams of the 90. That's what Jerry said
on Thanksgiving after beating the Commanders.
Stop.
Why?
Why do that?
That's unnecessary.
12-5.
12-5.
12-5.
So that's 36-15.
1-3 in the postseason.
It's still a winning record,, it's, it's still,
it's still a winning record,
but it's not the standard.
It's not the standard that you're talking about or trying to set.
No.
So you're,
you're basically selling settling for mediocrity.
I don't even know if I can say that.
Mediocrity.
That's what they are.
Yeah.
They're not,
they look,
they have great,
they have very good to great regular seasons.
Yeah.
But when it matters.
Okay.
Now the postseason is an entirely different season.
Now, what do we got to show for it?
We got one in three.
We got one in two with Jason Garrett.
We got one in one with Garrett and Romo.
We got one in two with Wade and Romo.
So you won one, two, three, four.
So you're four and five, six, eight.
I think I'm trying to think,
I'm trying to understand
and think when it comes
to a head coach,
you always want a head coach.
What you do in the regular season
is awesome.
But having a head coach
that can get more out of you when it really counts.
Yes.
He can pull everything there is out of you and help players reach their full potential where it matters most.
And that's in those moments in the postseason.
Yes.
That's the type of coaching they need. the way they played that last game against the Cowboys, even though the Packers got the ball first, fine.
They went down and scored.
They were supposed to come back and answer.
And answer.
The Packers set the tone.
They were supposed to come back and answer and set the tone.
And they didn't.
And then the Packers get the ball again
and score again.
They scored six of their first seven possessions.
They scored touchdowns on six of their
first seven possessions.
Unheard of.
You're playing
in, obviously, regular season
and you're scoring
30-some points a game at home.
Right.
So everybody, Cowboys fans, even me,
okay, you know what?
Dallas is probably going to win this game today
based on their record at home,
the number of points they scored at home.
All of a sudden, you get to the postseason.
What happened?
Everybody flat.
There was a disconnection.
I'm not sure what was wrong with the Wi-Fi
between DAC and CD. I could see it from a disconnection. I'm not sure what was wrong with the Wi-Fi between DAC and CD.
I could see it from the first pass.
The first pass, something was
off. The body language is off.
No enthusiasm.
You could just tell.
I don't
know. But we say this
every year with the Cowboys.
Remember when they lost to the
49ers at home?
They weren't ready to play.
And remember last year?
They went on the road to San Fran.
They weren't ready to play.
And then you get a can of whip ass opened up on you at home,
48 to 16 with under six minutes to play.
We judge players.
We say, okay, he's great in the regular season,
but what about the postseason?
Okay, same for coaches.
Okay, Mike McCarthy is a great regular season coach,
but what about the postseason?
That's where the ultimate grade
or the ultimate validation
is where you ultimately judge that.
Right.
And based on that, he hadn't gotten it done,
and he hadn't come close.
Can't come close.
That's not fair.
Because you just said something
that just hurt my feelings.
What?
We judge players
based on what they do
in the postseason.
Man, I ain't really get to see
the postseason.
That's not fair.
Well, mainly it's quarterbacks.
Because that's the guy
that really controls everything.
You know, you and I, we play
dependent positions.
Right. Okay.
How about this, Ocho? This is how they do it.
If I want you to go to the Hall of Fame,
I'm going to tell you, even though you didn't
play the quarterback position, I'm going to tell you
about the playoff games that you won. I'm going to tell you about
the Super Bowl that you were in and you won. If I don't, I'm going to tell you about the playoff games that you won. I'm going to tell you about the Super Bowl that you win and you won.
If I don't,
I'm going to say,
well, you didn't win.
That's the argument
I use against you.
I got you.
I can make an argument
for or against
according to where I stay,
where I am
in your corner.
Right.
If I'm with you,
hey,
there wasn't nothing
Ocho can do.
Ocho had a team. The quarterbacks weren't with you, hey, there wasn't nothing Ocho can do. Ocho had a team,
the quarterbacks
weren't very good,
blah, blah, blah.
But if I want Ocho
to get in,
look at what Ocho was doing.
He went to the Pro Bowl,
wasn't all pro.
Even though he didn't have
a playoff success,
it wasn't for him.
Look at 1,500,
1,600 yards.
Look at leading the league
and receiving look
yeah yeah i'll make the argument for you what i want you to get in yeah i appreciate that i like
i like the way you stand on 10 for your boy now but see mike mccarthy what argument can i use
everybody tells you at the beginning of the year how talented the cowboys are
nobody has so that's even more of an indictment you're that talented and get whitewashed how talented the Cowboys are. Nobody has drafted more.
So that's even more of an indictment.
You're that talented and get whitewashed like you got done.
That's even more of an indictment, Ocho.
Right.
All those Pro Bowl players, we know they got three guys. We know they got two guys that's got the offensive line.
The left tackle and the right guard going to the hall as soon as they're done.
They got five years and they're done.
Tyra Smith and Zach Martin.
Oh, yeah.
Zach Martin, yeah.
So you got your left tackle that's an all-pro.
You got your left guard.
He was an all-pro.
Your right guard was an all-pro.
Your quarterback was an all-pro.
CD was an all-pro.
Deron Lamb, Deron Bland, excuse me, was an all-pro.
So you got six guys
of your 22 starters
that were first or second team
all pro. And Micah Parsons
I don't think Micah
was an all pro.
He's been an all pro.
But I don't think he was this year.
Right.
So with that being said,
you got six of your 22 starters starters either first or second team all pro
right but you also all those guys that i named made the pro bowl so you got seven guys that
made the pro bowl and you get some time you find yourself down 48-16 at home?
Who you putting that on?
I'm trying to wrap my head around that.
I really don't understand.
I just, there was something going on internal.
There was something going on internal offensively because nothing seemed to be working.
Nothing seemed to be working at all seemed to be working. At all.
At all.
I mean, I watched the game twice.
I even watched it back again a second time.
And just, oh, the body language, the stuff on the sideline, the faces, the facial expressions on the sidelines, sitting on the bench.
You know, McCarthy coming over, having to say something to CD.
What was that?
Maybe the first or second series of the game.
Something was off.
That's what happens when you're at home, Ocho.
See, when you're at home and things don't go your way,
you look, you kind of expect to have a little adversity on the road.
Yeah.
Especially come playoff time.
But when you're at home, there is no crowd noise.
You can hear everything.
So there is no reason for us can hear everything so there is no reason for you for us to look up
at the board and we find ourselves down 20 nothing before we blink an eye and then the next possession
come out they get a big six and all of a sudden now the score is 27 nothing so now yes absolutely
i'm looking around to see what's going on because here's the thing at the end of the day the Cowboys has consistently filled
good teams but they're
unwilling to do what's necessary to
have a great team
right there's good
and then there's great
and you can't talk
about it oh I know this
I know that it doesn't matter what you say
because at the end of the day you got to go out there and play
and prove
so Jerry talk about oh this team reminds me of those superbowl what because a lot
of some of the guys have the same numbers that those guys okay cd1 number 88 there's not a 8
there's not a 22 but so all the other numbers are occupied by the guys that wore in the 90s
so what's the similarities you can't run the ball like they could in the 90s. So what's the similarities? You can't run the ball like they could in the 90s.
What about
Derrick Henry going to the Cowboys?
And having him
and Paula have a combination between him and Paula
like thunder and lightning. I like that.
They didn't realize how much they were going to miss
Zeke on short yardage
and goal line. Short yardage, yeah.
That's what they didn't realize.
And so now, because everything that went wrong last
year, it was Zeke. Because Zeke was making
$15 million a year. They blamed Zeke
for everything. Okay, Zeke wasn't there.
So what's your problem now? Why you couldn't run the ball?
You see, Mike McCarthy told that lie.
He said he wanted to get back to a more
balanced offense. Kellen Moore
had gotten away. Now they
throw the ball more than they did with Kellen Moore had gotten away. Now they throw the ball more than they did
with Kellen Moore. So he lied
instead of just saying, hey, Kellen, we want to
move in a different direction. But don't go
tell Jerry that lie. That
Kellen Moore had gotten away from what
you wanted to do, the West Coast offense,
which is more balanced 50-50
because you throw the ball more
than he ever did.
It's crazy.
Dirty business.
It is.
Dirty business.
So, but they got time.
They got time to think about what could have been,
what should have been.
All those great stats, Dak, second team, all-point quarterback,
CD Lamb, first team, all-pro, wide receiver,
all that for what?
To get handled in the first round at home.
And it wasn't close.
At least, I mean, look, there's no moral victories.
But what can the Cowboys say?
Oh, man, if we'd have got the ball one more time,
we'd have had a chance.
Man, if that guy didn't make no 60-yard field goal,
we had a chance.
What for that fluke play, we had a chance.
What can the Cowboys fans say?
You were never in the game.
The game was never close.
Zach had a hundred, when they were down 48-16,
Dak had 193 passing yards, a touchdown and two picks.
He ended up with over 400.
Dang.
So the
200, so the 207 yards that he got?
Yes, exactly.
Same thing with
CD. Everybody
got empty calories.
So the loss, McCarthy calls the plays, right? Yes! He called the plays. Everybody got empty calories.
So the loss, McCarthy calls the plays, right?
Yes.
He called the plays.
Yeah.
That's definitely on him.
That's definitely on him.
I thought we was chasing the big play.
What you mean? What you called a game?
Because you can't run the ball?
Because you haven't put an emphasis on running the ball all year?
That's what you wanted to do.
You wanted to highlight, oh, my great mind.
Let me show you how I call these plays up.
And Dak had a phenomenal season.
So did CD.
But you didn't run the ball like you ran it the previous years.
And your defense, the defense,
the only thing that was worse than Dak was the defense.
They were awful.
They were atrocious.
Yeah, it was bad.
It was bad.
It was bad.
You can't talk about being great.
I mean, they were great at the time when they did say that they were great.
They were playing just like that.
No, they played the Giants.
At the time, it was said.
They played the Giants.
They played the Jets.
They played the Giants. At the time, it was said. They played the Giants. They played the Jets. They played the Patriots.
Do we think, when we think offense, do we think anything?
What comes to your mind when you think of Jets?
Are you thinking offense or you play the Commanders?
Are you thinking offense?
You play the Giants.
You thinking offense?
You play the Patriots. You thinking offense?
No.
No.
I mean, it's really cliche i would say it is the nfl it is the one percentage
of the world playing at the highest level but i i get what you're going because there are levels to
it yeah there are levels to it when it comes to team and structure and the way it's put together
and some teams just well the cowboys can speak to that firsthand because what happened when
they play team that that's a that's a step up if everybody if everybody's the same you should have
been able to do to the 49ers what you did to the jets you should have been able to do to the packers
what you did to the commanders or what you did to the patriots yeah i don't know but they them 49ers
put together a little different, boy.
It take a different type of defense.
The Green Bay made them look worse than the 49ers did.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, man, they put that thing on them.
You can't talk about Ocho.
You got to be about it.
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, last 50 games.
What do you make of this, Ocho?
In the last 50 games, Josh Allen is completing 64% of his passes.
Patrick Mahomes a tick under 67.
Josh Allen has passed for 15,045 yards.
Patrick Mahomes has passed for 15,406 yards.
Josh Allen has 128 total touchdowns.
Patrick Mahomes has 111.
Josh has 47 INTs.
Mahomes has 39 INTs.
Josh Allen's record is 35 and 15.
Mahome boy is 36 and 14.
Boy, them numbers look damn near identical, huh?
There's only one thing really separating
them two. You know that?
A ring!
A ring!
Yes.
And this is one of the first times, obviously,
when I think of Josh Allen, when I think
of Patrick Mahomes, we talk about top five,
top three, obviously, with Mahomes
being one. Josh is somewhere, depending
on where you want to put him, despite the turnovers. But with the way you just said it held my home's turning the ball over
just as much as he is yeah 39 ints you know the josh is what the game 47 i mean shit i mean i'm
not saying a neck and neck but it got them the same thing i think i think obviously my home is
held at a higher standard based on what he's been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time
obviously it's all about super bowls and having two already in what a six year span it's only
year six ain't it yep year seven six years the year six as a starter yeah man listen listen
he has a lot of leeway he has a lot of leash for some of the things that he's doing because he's
wanted and obviously the first thing we
harp on, the first thing we talk about when it comes to Josh
and how do you beat the Bills?
Well, Josh Allen likes to give
the ball up. He likes to get the ball away.
And these
are the times where
if you give the ball away, you're not going to be able
to come in. Not in the playoff. You're
going home. So will he be able
to protect the ball when they play? That
is going to be a great game.
Ladarius Sneed,
he follows, right? He follows,
doesn't he? He does sometimes.
He does sometimes. He does.
Do they put him on Gabe Davis?
Do they put him on Stephon Diggs? I'm not
sure.
That's going to be a very, very big game. You just have to be careful,
Ochocho because playing
22 man with Josh Allen he take off the gauge your back turn yeah everybody back turn yep yeah but
listen how many that you can only do you can only do that so many times though exactly and you're
worried about it because you saw the Steelers yeah oh yeah he was gone he went he hit his head
on the goal post uh-huh yeah and um when I think about it, I think that's going to be a good game.
But to me, the more interesting game this weekend coming up is that Packers.
That Packers are 49.
Yeah, man.
I'm trying to see what happens.
The Packers are going to be in rhythm.
The Packers are going to have the confidence.
They just played a game last week.
The 49ers coming off a bye.
What happens if they got a stink?
Ocho, the thing is, the Packers been in playoff mode.
They had to win the last game to even get into the playoffs.
So they've been in playoff mode for the last two weeks.
The 49ers took off.
They've been off the last week of the season.
They didn't play.
They were off last week. So
they're probably the same thing with the Ravens.
There might be a little rust.
Rust, yeah.
But when I look at the past 50 games,
I mean, look, and I think
Josh Allen's fabulous. But even
with these numbers, I'm not taking Josh Allen over
Patrick Mahomes.
Am I supposed to not believe what I've
seen over the last three years?
Because 50 games
is basically three years.
A little over three years
considering they added
the 17th game down.
So we're talking about
a little over three years.
So I'm just going to disregard.
So what about the playoffs?
So let's take
the last three years
of playoffs.
Right.
So what am I supposed
to do about that?
I think if you were to ask people, I mean, hell, I think even if you ask Buffalo fans, who do you take?
What do you think they would say?
My homeboy.
Because here's the thing.
If that's the case, look at Mike McCarthy. Look at Mike McCarthy's numbers over the last three years.
And then take Andy Reid's number over the last three years. And then take, and then take Andy Reed's number over the last three years.
He probably neck and neck right there with it.
Right.
Yeah.
Yep.
But ain't nobody taking,
ain't nobody taking Mike McCarthy over to Andy Reed because we know what
Andy Reed body of work is in those last three years come playoff time.
Right.
Where it counts.
Where it counts. Where it counts.
So, all I know is two of the last three years in this 50 game,
Mahomes didn't been in the Super Bowl.
That's all I know.
Two of the last three years, two of the last three, he's been in the Super Bowl.
He's won an MVP.
A Super Bowl MVP and a regular season MVP.
You know what's funny, too?
When I think about the Chiefs, I thought they were down and out.
Obviously with the receiver struggles.
Obviously with the stuff with Kadarius Toney.
The stuff with Marquez. My MV, I would just say
MVS.
They've emerged.
Rashidi Rice coming out of nowhere
like this.
Coming out of nowhere like this
at the right time.
Perfect timing when things weren't going well.
And I was sitting here lobbying for,
they have to trade for somebody.
They gotta,
they gotta,
they gotta do something.
And Lord,
look what happened.
He just,
he just emerged as,
okay,
I am the guy and he's proving himself.
He took the game over.
I mean,
right.
So basically took the game.
He took the game.
He took the game over Ojo I mean Rice basically took the game he took the game over Saturday
yeah literally
I mean Trav made a few plays
Trav was kind of struggling because he
dropped he had a couple drops
two or three huh? three
yeah but Rice
made every play got his ankle
tweaked went to the side came back
in there and still made a couple big catches at the end
of the day.
They moved him around, too.
They moved him around.
He's doing real well.
He's doing real well.
I think they need one more piece.
They need somebody else to step up.
Yes, yes.
They need one more person to step up. I think now when they play the Bills,
I think the focal point will be on Rice and where he is,
unless they want to continue to give Kelsey the respect
because there is Kelsey and his resume speaks for itself.
But they need one more person, one more offensive person.
I forget his last name, Justin.
He made some big plays, 84 for the Chiefs.
Remember, he was at Tampa a couple years ago,
made plays here and there for Tom Brady.
But he stepped up and made some big-time third-down catches.
And that's what you do.
You know what?
Maybe he's not going to have a sixth catch for 85 yards,
but sometimes it's the third-down catch.
It's one or two third-down catches that keep you on the feet.
It keeps the drive going.
It's able to keep Mahomes in a rhythm.
Right.
In the playoff game, that's what it's all about,
is that keeping drives alive, staying in rhythm.
And the more, the longer, hey, seven, eight, nine, ten,
the longer plays, hey, I'm on the field.
I like my chances.
Yeah.
Got them right.
But see,
but see,
that's,
that's how numbers,
Justin Watson,
but see,
that's how numbers,
because when you just look at this,
like,
Oh my God,
man,
Josh Allen has been just as good as Patrick Mahomes.
Really?
Oh yeah.
Really?
That's what you're saying.
You see,
that's why numbers don't tell you the entirety of the story, Ocho.
You see how I cook them numbers up to make them say whatever they want to say?
Mm-hmm.
And that's the thing.
I like that.
Numbers don't tell the whole story.
No, don't tell it.
You got to context.
Oh, in the last 50 regular season games, these are the numbers.
Okay, let's do the last 10 playoff games.
Right.
What you mean?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You put a stat up there that had numbers that was favorable for your guy.
Now I want to put numbers up there that's favorable
because isn't that ultimately where the quarterback is judged?
Ultimately, it's playoff time.
Because we beat Peyton Manning up.
And Peyton Manning, all they talked about, oh, he a great regular season quarterback.
Oh, he's one and done.
They beat him up.
Same thing with Aaron Rodgers.
So, for me, I get it.
It's all nice.
Oh, 15,000.
So, Mahomes is slightly, you know, a little over 300 yards, 300 more passing yards.
But not for me.
And I think Josh Allen is fabulous.
I'm not taking Josh Allen no day over Patrick Mahomes.
He is really fabulous.
I'm not.
Check this out, Ocho. The average ticket price
for the Bucks-Lion divisional matchup
is $1,186.
The highest priced divisional game ever.
How much would you pay
to watch the Lions-Bucks?
Shoot.
For $1,186?
I'm going to watch that bitch at home. What? Oh, shoot. My bad. I cursed again. That's $5 in the pot. I'm going to watch that bitch at home.
Oh, shoot.
My bad.
I cursed again.
That's $5 in the pot.
I'm going to watch it at home.
I ain't paying $1,100 nothing.
I could be a diehard fan.
I can be a diehard fan.
I know it's the playoffs.
All of a sudden, after 32 years, we make the playoffs.
And now you're going to skyrocket the tickets up in this economy?
You're going to do that to me?
Hard-working blue-collar
fans? I mean, listen.
Ocho, it's not them.
Life is hard enough as it is.
Ocho, it's not them. It's the
resellers.
What?
It said the average ticket price.
Yes. Oh, so the resellers have done that. Yes. Oh, okay. what it said the average ticket price yes
oh so the resellers have done that
yes
oh okay okay
they done bought up all the tickets
thank you
okay
and you wanna go
so guess what
you gotta make
oh they mocked it up
yes
okay the way you
the way you had
I need a little bit more context
you had me thinking
that the goddamn
Detroit Lions
had the ticket prices
starting at
$11.86 no okay okay okay okay but you You had me thinking that the goddamn Detroit Lions had the ticket prices starting at 1186.
No.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
But you, they didn't price me out.
They didn't price me out.
As much as I love the game, as much as I love the Lions, if I'm a Lion fan, I can't do that.
Yeah.
I can't put myself in a hole.
Hey, take that label off that bottle.
Somebody tried to capitalize.
My bad, my bad, my bad, my bad.
I keep forgetting about that.
Hey, you be quick with it too.
Oh, yeah.
What you got in that cup tonight?
Ain't nothing but some water.
Ain't nothing free but salvation.
And the minister's not in charge for that.
Ain't no
no.
What's the most
I would pay for a sporting event?
I mean, I done spent big money. I done went to
NBA Finals game, so
I break bread.
That's one thing about you.
That's one thing I know about you, and that's what
I've come to learn when it comes to spending, but you're going to spend. You're going to spend that bag. Especially about you. That's one thing I know about you. And that's what I've come to learn when it comes to spinning,
but you're going to spin,
you're going to spin that bag,
especially you're going to spin the bag on things you like and you want to do
experiences.
That's what life is all about.
Life is,
life is about experiencing.
And what I know about you is you're going to spin for experiences and
memories.
Yep.
Not me.
I'm good.
There's certain things I ain't doing.
I spend when it comes to soccer.
Exactly.
Listen, going to Europe, going to Paris, going to Italy.
Oh, I'm spending.

I ain't doing it.
Every day.
I ain't doing it.
Listen, I did the Maldives one time.
You went to the Maldives?
Yeah, man, for her birthday.

The underwater villa is like if you have...
What's the thing where...
Claustrophobic.
Claustrophobic.
If you're claustrophobic, you ain't going to like it.
You know what I mean?
Because it's nervous. You know, you go up under there, obviously, um, all,

So the fish is going to be watching. They're going to be watching. They're going to be watching.

Fish is going to be telling on me. It was nice.
It was nice. It's just a tad bit
expensive though. A tad bit
expensive for that underwater villa.
But it was an enjoyable trip, man.
A great experience. The fact that
it's in the middle of the ocean and in the middle of nowhere
and everything is run off

off diesel fuel.
Something like that. Some type of gas. How's the food? Oh is run off diesel fuel. Something like that. Gas, some type of gas.
How's the food?
Oh, the food was good.
And you know, I'm not picky,
but I stay within my routine
and never go outside the box
of what I normally eat.
Obviously, being over in the Maldives,
I had to try new stuff.
Yeah, you got to have...
There's probably a lot of fish on.
Yeah, yeah.
How you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot, man.. Yeah, yeah, how you know? Yeah. Yeah, and I enjoyed it.

What you got?
I don't know.
I wash.
I mean, I get to... I mean, sometimes I would get...
I mean, a lot of times...
Occasionally.
I would take a shower
once I got to work.
I definitely took a shower
before I went to practice.
I took a shower
before I went to practice every day.
Right.
And then I took a shower
after practice, obviously. Yeah. Wait, you took a shower to go went to practice. I took a shower before I went to practice every day. And then I took a shower after practice, obviously.
Yeah. Wait, you took a
shower to go out and get dirty?
Yeah.
Nah, I didn't do that.
Oh, absolutely.
Sometimes I used to go
the most I would do before practice
I sometimes used to get in the
cold tub. Oh, I did all that too.
I had to take a shower. I can't. Nah, I ain't doing all that too yeah I had to take a shower
yeah nah I ain't doing all that
all my team to tell you
I was bringing my own
shower on face cloth way way
before team started
even before team started issuing I was always
that guy had my own stuff
you know
you got OCD
yeah every Tuesday my own stuff you know yeah yeah you got you got ocd yeah you have my lockout every tuesday
every tuesday after i work out i'll clean my locker i get my saw spread down knock i'll get
all the dust vacuum it out straighten everything up and all the labels facing forward everything
hung up nicely needed my locker yeah and then i made the guy that was beside me i said y'all driving the property value down clean this issue clean this yeah absolutely you're not
finna drive my property value down because you got shoes and dirt everything nah clean this
crazy yeah absolutely god i miss them days man that camaraderie the fun the jokes that's what
happened yeah oh. That was some
good days, man. Good days. And there's
nothing in life you can do to replicate or duplicate
it. No. Nothing.
No. Even though I talk to Bucket,
I talk to Burns, it's not the same.
Nah, it's not the same. It's not the same.
Because I'm used to having like
six or seven guys around
and we just going in. We just
going in on somebody right
that's what you miss mike thomas says his fire for the job has intensified and that he expects
to get a contract extension this offseason thomas also says kenny pickett will be qb1
heading into the 2024 season but they'll bring in competition.
I just
don't get what incentive
what was so
why did he feel
he need to say Kenny Pickett is the
quarterback one heading into 2024 season?
I don't know. I don't know why he did it.
I don't know what he did. I'm
curious. I would love to know how Steeler fans feel about that. I like Kenny Pickett. The small sample size of what I've had to see from Kenny. I'm not sure he's answer. He's he's he's he's OK. He's good. But I think for that position, they can do better based on what's available in free agency. Yeah. For me, as I'm not a Steeler fan, obviously,
but just for the organization in itself,
an organization that has won many Lombardi trophies.
If you're serious, obviously, with Mike Tomlin getting an extension,
listen, Russell Wilson is out on the market.
Russell Wilson is out on the market and and will be available he is the one
you need to go get yeah i think the pairing with russell wilson you like that offense with
deontay johnson nige harris i think they will be on fire yeah perfect yeah perfect
playoff coach play, playoff quarterback.
Super Bowl coach, Super Bowl quarterback.
Man, George Pickens is going to love that.
George Pickens is going to love that.
I mean, it just makes too much sense to me to pass up an opportunity like that if you're serious about contending in AFC North.
I just don't get why here we are.
The season just ended for them last week
and we already got to know who
QB1
is heading into 2024
season. I don't know why.
There's been no free agency.
There's been no draft.
There's been no OTAs.
There's been no training camp.
I don't understand why
almost 8 months
we didn't know who QB1
is for the Steelers
I don't think he meant it, maybe he didn't mean it
that way, well maybe he did because he actually
said he would quarterback number 1 but then
he did say
we're bringing in competition
the competition could be
can you ask me this though?
he said his
fire for the job has intensified.
What's different now?
Why would it be intense?
Why wasn't it always intensified?
Because we always ask players to have that same intensity,
that level of intensity, that fire, that passion.
So what's intensified?
What's different now than what it was?
Listen. now than what it was. Listen, I...
Man, listen, Mike Tomlin got 17
straight non-losing seasons.
So what do I got to do?
I want to win. So how many
Super Bowls did that?
He ain't won a playoff game
since 2016. So what is it now, Ocho?
It's 2024. So 17 is it now, Ocho? It's 2024.
So 17, 18,
19, 20, 21,
22, 23.
So we eight years. Mike Tomlin didn't have a playoff
win in eight years.
Shoot.
That's the Steelers now. You do realize
that's the Steelers.
That's not the Jets. That's not some other that's the Steelers now. You do realize that's the Steelers. That's not the Jets.
That's not some other
that's the Steelers.
Six Lombardis
with the greats.
Yeah, you know what the answer is?
What? One position.
One position
that needs to be filled.
What's that?
One position. I'm telling you. Quarterback.
That's it. They need to go get them.
They need,
that's it.
They need to go get number three.
They have,
they have okay.
They have good quarterbacks.
I don't want to say,
okay, they have good quarterbacks,
but if you're trying to get back playoff contention and taking,
running the Superbowl,
having a seventh Lombardi,
you go get a quarterback that's done it before.
You go get one that season.
The Steelers are the first team in NFL history
to allow 30 points in five straight playoff games.
It's not to say the Steelers defense
we're used to seeing
definitely ain't that
it definitely
it didn't help
that TJ was out
to deal with
well I think
the thing
the thing is
is that they held on
to Ben Roethlisberger
Ben Roethlisberger
didn't do it in many favors
you think they held on
too long
way too long
way too long way well if you let him go there
was still no answer though that's the problem that you held on to him and you weren't trying
to develop anybody so you didn't take a quarterback until you absolutely had to
right
okay i see what you're saying but you know
quarterbacks don't like that
you see how Aaron Rodgers acted
when they brought Jordan Love in
and you see the situation
Green Bay's in
that they did it
you see how Green Bay looking
hey that's lucky though
how many times
how many times
is that going to happen though
how many times
you're going to have Alex Smith
and you draft goddamn
Patrick Holmes
and all of a sudden
oh shit
now I got the next one.
But let me ask you a question. They did it with
Brent Favre.
You see? That's right. That's luck.
If I wait till I
run out of food before I buy bread
and milk, it's too damn late, don't you?
Right. You see, you
like, oh man, we get
low on bread. Okay, pick up a couple of loaves of bread.
We almost out of milk.
Get some milk.
Or do you wait till you're completely out?
Right.
I mean, some people do wait till they're completely out.
And then when you go to make a sandwich,
or you're going to get some milk,
put milk in your coffee,
or eat cereal,
you ain't got no milk and not your man.
Why didn't somebody tell me
we was almost out of milk
and we was out of bread?
Hell, you looked in the refrigerator
and saw you was almost out also.
Somebody just beat you to drinking the last bit or making the last sandwich.
Damn.
Because here's the thing, Ocho.
When you're building a team, you can't worry about feelings.
You can't worry about, oh, the quarterback.
I got to do what's in the best interest.
Because a lot of times, if you wait to the quarterback,
they did that with Dan.
They did that with Jim Kelly.
They did that with – and so when you have that big gap,
if you look at it, you did it with Terry Bradshaw.
It wasn't until you got Ben Roethlisberger.
You had a couple of good years with Neil O'Donnell
and Slash Cordell,
but once you got that one guy,
you weren't fluctuating
in and out.
The Steelers, they became
basically Super Bowl contenders every year.
That's tough,
though. You don't want to upset your quarterback. You don't want to
upset your starting veteran quarterback at that. Obviously, you don't want to upset your quarterback you don't want to upset your starting veteran
quarterback at that obviously you draft
you draft the player
so when that mofo leave what am I going to do
so let's just say for the sake of argument
the Packers don't upset Aaron Rodgers
and he's acting a fool
now you see what he's doing he basically
even after they gave 50 million a year he was still
giving them the butt to kiss now they don't have
joy and love he's in the Jets. Now
what do I do? Well, at least we didn't take
Aaron Rodgers off.
Them quarterbacks don't give a damn about nobody but
themselves. So if I'm a general manager
and an owner, I got to think what's in the best interest
of my team.
My team, yeah. But listen, they
finding diamonds in the rough though, man.
That decision
to Alex Smith-Patrick Mahomes, diamond in the rough though, man. That decision, the Alex Smith-Patrick Mahomes,
diamond in the rough.
They got that...
God, Lee, what was the other example?
Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers.
Oh, yeah.
The Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love, man.
That's that diamond in the rough.
The chances of that happening
is so slim and seldom.
It's the luck of the draw.
Right.
It's the luck of the draw.
They might not pan out.
You never know.
But at least
you got to plan.
Nobody plans to fail.
We just fail to plan.
Yeah.
So at least,
at least,
look,
he might not,
but at least I've made,
I've tried to make a a situation
where i do have a quarterback in place now he might not be it but when you wait to ben
roethlisberger on his last leg and then he retired oh now go get me a quarterback quarterback yeah
that's tough and listen it's it's the way it's always been.
I mean, the situation where it happened is with Aaron Rodgers.
That's the only one I could think of. I'm not sure if they just don't want to upset their quarterback.
Well, yeah, but the thing is, they did it with Brett Favre. They drafted Aaron Rodgers.
Oh, that's right. Yeah. They did it with him.
I wonder how do they know when it's time, though? How do you know when it's time at the quarterback position?
Well. I mean, look, everybody think they're going to be a Tom Brady and even Coach Belichick made some. I mean, he drafted Jimmy Garoppolo. He was wrong in his assessment. The difference is between Brady and Rodgers and Favre. Favre and Rodgers want to retire every year. Brady loved everything about the game of football. He loved the meetings. He loved the preparation. He loved the practices. He loved the OTAs. He loved everything about the game.
Rodgers and Favre didn't.
Oh, they want to retire.
Oh, you took a quarterback.
Oh, you don't love me no more.
Oh, my goodness.
Poor me.
Poor me.
Bruh.
You don't think they love the game?
Huh?
You don't think they love the game?
See, Favre just wanted to show up but once once training camp was over he just wanted to show up and play right and they're like bro
you know he and they just got tired at some point in time they're gonna hold you to that right oh
i don't know what i'm gonna do i don't know might be my last year. I got to go to some cold, dark place.
And, you know, I got to think about what I want to do.
Teams are not going to tolerate you until they can replace you.
Remember, I told you that on the show.
They will tolerate you until they can replace you.
When they can replace Brad Favre, what do they do?
They traded him.
Yeah. Was it Minnesota or New York do? They traded him. Yeah.
Was it Minnesota or New York first?
They traded him to the Jets.
He ended up going to Minnesota.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's right.
They tolerated Aaron Rodgers until what?
Jordan Love's ready.
Okay.
We traded you.
You got to go.
Yeah.
And he good too, boy.
In any relationship, no matter how,
no matter how your situation is,
that person will tolerate you
until they can replace you.
Man or woman.
So if you think you're going to treat somebody
like you know what,
for perpetuity,
you're fooling yourself.
Damn. For perpetuity, you fooling yourself.
Damn.
Hey, well, that make you think right there too now.
Hey.
That's not to say that.
Ego and pride, they make a fool of us all.
For sure.
Especially when you say it like that.
Now, that's not to say, look, that's not to say somebody won't replace you, even if things are ideal.
Because, look, things happen. But I'm just saying.
People, hey.
Yeah.
They lost.
They're the last playoff games for the Steelers.
They lost 36-17 to the Patriots.
They lost 45-42 to the Jaguars.
They lost 48-37 to the Browns.
They lost 42-21 to Kansas City.
They lost 31-17 to Buffalo.
I mean, they give it a big number.
They give it a big numbers.
Big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big numbers.

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small
ways. Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding,

will specifically curated in mind in my mind to have R&B take the main stage.
Usher explained not just R&B music, but R&B performance, R&B connection, R&B spirit.
It will be my homage, he hoped, to the black performers that paved the way for him, including Michael Jackson and Prince.
Listen, what are you expecting?
I mean, you saw his show,
right? I saw him two
weeks before you went, I think.
I think it was two weeks before you went. Yes.
Man,
honestly,
I love Usher. I've
seen all his...
I've listened to all his music.
I'm not one that really enjoys
concerts. I didn't one that really enjoys concerts.
I didn't want to go.
This one back here.
I want to go to the Usher concert.
I want to go to the Usher concert.
I'm not really, eh, whatever.

Man, I had a time in my life.
I had a time in my life.
Man, the theatrics, the art, the skating had the time of my life man the theatrics the art the art the the skating
the the the the change of clothes and the the music you hadn't heard in so long and then all
of a sudden you know it sounded a little different when you hear it in person you know with the band
oh that shit was amazing it was amazing he's awesome so if's awesome. So if the concert was that good
or the, what do you call those?
Residency.
If the residency was that good,
imagine what he's going to put together
for Super Bowl.
Imagine.
I don't know if he's going to be able
to do some of the stuff
that he was doing
because you know we had the dancers.
You can't do that.
I mean, he could push the envelope
a little bit.
Yeah.
He could push the envelope a little bit.
That dancer?
That light-skinned with the short hair?
Yeah.
With the long leg?
Yeah.
She danced from Atlanta.
I don't know where she's from,
but I'm just saying
after the concert,
after the residency,
they had a little room where you can go meet and mingle some of the concert, after the residency, they had a little room
where you can go meet
and mingle some of the guys.
Some of the usher
and the dancers came in there.
And a lot of the celebs
that were in attendance,
they were in the room.
Right.
Ah, man.
That got them.
Man, usher the real deal, boy.
Yeah.
Usher is the real deal.
One of the greats.
One of the greats of our time.
But, oh, the dancers.
When they was on skates.
When they was on skates.

Rough.
I think they be going.
I think they be getting them dancing.
I'm like, okay.
We want the finest ones.
Can you dance?
Because we can teach you how to dance.
It's one thing of being able to dance, right?
But we talk about a residency.
Can you dance, but do you have stage presence?
You have to be able to draw the audience in and be captivating and keep their attention.
There's an art to that.
It's more than just dancing.
In the club, if you're a dancer,
it's different.
We've got eyes.
Our audience is a different ballgame.
There's an art to that.
A lot of people can't do that.
A lot of people can't do that.
Damn.
Now I'm thinking about that. Damn, now I'm thinking about that. Damn. Now I'm thinking about that. Damn, now I'm thinking about that. That goddamn
usher concert, boy, that shit was nice.
Oh, that thing was like that. It was like that. Like I said, my daughter still talk
about it. And I saw Adele that same weekend.
Oh, I was meaning to go see Adele, man. You were telling me about it too.
But Adele is a storyteller.
So she's not just going to sing.
If you just expected her to sing,
that ain't what she's going to do.
Oh, wait.
She's like Bobby Womack.
She's like Bobby Womack.
She's going to tell you
where she was
when this song came about
and what she was thinking
when she wrote this song.
Yeah.
And you can just hear the passion in which she sings
the song. And like I
said, she is just like so down
to earth. I mean, you wouldn't think
somebody like her.
I mean, she's going to come out of there
in that black mermaid dress. Right.
Probably not going to have any shoes on.
She's going to sit down on
the stage and then that British accent.
Man, when she opened her mouth.
She could blow, huh?
Man, they better start playing with Adele.
Man, I want to see her.

No, I think she's still there.
I think she's still there. First of all, I'm already see her. It's done, huh? I mean, her residency is open. I think she's still there. First of all,
I'm already expecting, if you go by
one name, you've got to be able to sing.
Aretha. Whitney.
Mariah.
Beyonce.
Adele.
There are certain
people that I'm
expecting, if you go by one name, you'll be right.
Stop playing now.
I got three more.
I would add in there.
I'm not sure how the chat feels.
I think more so the women could could attest to this and let me know if you agree with me when it comes to women.
Women that have voices.
I'm talking about real voices that can project and have range.
Right.
I like you said Mariah.
You said Whitney.
Whitney probably is at the top of them all. And Mariah right there with her. I like range. Right. I like, you said Mariah, you said Whitney. Whitney probably is at the top of them all.
And Mariah right there with her.
I like range and voice.
I like Christina Aguilera as well.
Oh, she got a voice.
Yeah.
Christina Aguilera to be so small.
She projects like she's a bigger,
a woman of size.
Excuse me.
I'm trying to make sure I say it the right way.

Stephanie Mills got a set of lungs on her.
Yeah, Stephanie nice with it.
Anita Baker got a set of lungs on her.
But like I said, when you hear like, when you hear Aretha, everybody know you're talking about Aretha Flay.

And the voice, their voices, the people we name, their voice is distinctive.
Oh, Patty too.
They can just, oh, why don't Patty,

But,

I'm anxious to see the Superbowl performance.
I'm seeing how far,
how close to the edge is he going to be able to go?
Right, right.
You don't want to piss nobody off.
No, no.
You don't want to piss nobody off because this is a great opportunity, you know, diversifying your portfolio, which is already extensive as is.
Yes, yes, yes.
Nice to add to your resume.
Snoop Dogg reveals he turned out a 100 million
OnlyFans deal.
All he had to do was pull that thing out.
I'm like, I got a black wife.
Ain't no way in the world
she gonna allow me to go out there
and pull that thing out for no amount of money.
But listen,
how much they want to see?
How many inches they want to see?
Yeah. But listen, how much do they want to see? How many inches do they want to see? A hundred million?
A hundred?
Listen.
A hundred million?
Huh?
If you was married,
are you going to address that with your partner
if you was married?
That's tough, man.
I would say, baby, here's the thing.
I'm married. I would say, here's $25 million.
That's a good one.
What if she say no?
And let that baby arm hit the table.
Hee hee hee hee hee.
Hee hee hee hee hee. That's what I got for her, Mojo.
Well, what if she say no?
What if she hit you with that moral compass, you know,
integrity and all that, you know, when they hit you
with that integrity.
Hey, 50 million.
Buy some more morals.
I wouldn't do it.
At that point,
at that point,
when she says,
I was like, hey, trade us out.
I got this deal. Let me know what you think about it.
Right. She said, what's up, baby?
I said,
the only fan said he gonna give me a hundred million yeah
so what all the fans gonna give you a hundred million for
I gotta take the baby
on my
she probably gonna look at me like I'm crazy
I think I think most I mean when you think
about it you think
about most women and and and with with understanding that the amount of money we're talking about here
but then obviously your man is out there he's exposed that's forever when you're exposed like
that that's forever that's never going anywhere on a forever too shit me not with the way these people spend if you ain't got no discipline that that'll be gone nah you blow 100 million
uh we could name so many athletes that have gone through 100 million oh yeah
but i'm talking about me and you though i ain't talking about deal yeah i don't even need you i
don't even need you i don't even need 100 I don't even need a hundred million because I ain't going through,
I'd never get through that.
Shit.
It's hard to get through
goddamn 5,000 in a year.
A hundred million?
Nigga.
Oh, man, I'm up.
Damn, man, I go again.
My bad.
God forgive me.
I don't even got pre-check.
I don't,
I ain't even got pre-check
because I'm not paying no $8,500.
You know what I can do with $8,500?
You telling me to get, you telling me to got pre-check because I'm not paying no $8,500. You know what I can do with $8,500? You telling me to get...
You telling me to get pre-check
when even if you do go through the gate before me
because you got pre-check,
we still getting on the flight at the same time.
Yeah, I think the thing is now
that it's different, Ocho,
because I got kids.
Yeah.
Right, right.
I got kids.
And so,
I already know how my daughters
are gonna think they're gonna feel some type of way
right right
my son be like dad really
I mean he'll probably be like dad really
after his son hit me
he's like hey
they wanna see a father son
but the girl
my two daughters
they have that issue
and I know my partner
ain't gonna rock with that
eyes of soul
listen but
100 million is life changing
this ain't no
life changing
but here's the thing
what about
would you let your partner
show a hoo-ha
for a hundred million
nah
I can't do it
as a matter of fact
I mean
if you have a great understanding of who you are who you're dealing
with or who you who you're dating they wouldn't do it any they wouldn't do it anyway and i have
no problem with those that have their their sexual liberation their sexual freedom and
and um want to wear whatever it is they they they choose to do you want to be naked show you show
your nipples man do whatever i support it all right but you have great understanding if that's somebody you deal
with you know for opportunity like this presented itself they will be willingly ready to bear all
i mean they you know some of them come out some of them naked anyway or show what they be having
on they damn they're naked yeah yeah you're right. You're right.
You're right.
So you think they OnlyFans off a real 100 million, she going to go out there and...
Nah.
Nah, it ain't happening.
It ain't happening, Captain.
You don't have to ask me.
I'm just a journal based on who she is and how she's moving.
Yeah.
She got kids.
I mean, I think it's a lot different if the person
doesn't have kids.
Yeah.
Because now
you're bringing the kids into it.
And then they
got to deal with the friends at school
talking and
how they go. But they don't play.
Once they start and they get around and
yeah well i'm still thinking about 100 million but that's that's different too bro
hold on you got to understand to the average person, a million dollars.
It's like a million, a $1 million.
Some people don't even think, some people don't even think it's a lot. Some people,
people that don't even have a million dollars. Don't think a million dollars is a lot.
Unless you have, I don't know why they do that. I don't know why they do that i don't know why they do that i
don't think they understand how much money that is what you have to do to attain that much money
outside outside forget football forget playing sports you know how hard it is to make a million
dollars just in general yeah when you when you talk about when you talk about, like, let's just say somebody makes $150,000 a year. Right.
Even after taxes.
So now you got the same because you got, I'm assuming you got a mortgage, you got a car payment, and you got to eat.
So that's going to eat until after the taxes.
So it's still going to take you a good eight years to get a million dollars. Just to get there.
If somebody just offers you this
million dollars cash right now, boom.
And let alone
not a hundred million.
I don't know, but we got to
take that one to the
pastor.
Got to take that one to the pastor.
Pastor or father.
What you call in the Catholic church
Catholic church when you go
father
yeah I'm going to end a little boo you're going to
a little booth and you close the door
confessional get confessional
yeah I got to go into confessional as father
first
all you got to do is just pull it out
damn hey All they got to do is just pull it out.
Damn.
Hey.
I couldn't do it, man.
I couldn't do it.
I wouldn't be able to live.
I wouldn't be able to make my kids.
Nah.
I could hear my son that.
Come on, dad.
Yeah, you tripping.
Let me get a meal. It on, dad. Yeah, you tripping. Let me get a meal.
It's the daughters. That's the
thing. Like I said, my son,
them girls gonna feel some type
of way.
I wouldn't do it, especially in the position
I'm in now, no.
Exactly. If things were different,
if things were different...
Ocho, a million cash?
Who?
I don't know.
Hey, we got to put that up in the poll.
Put that in the poll.
A million cash?
Hell no.
I said a hundred million.
A hundred million cash.
Cash?
So what are they saying?
What did the polls say?
Hey.
Hey, that's...
77% say they would.
They lying.
23% say no.
I think they're telling the truth.
100 million?
I'm thinking about it now too.
I had to take my glasses off.
That's how you know I'm serious.
78% said yes.
I mean, I got a decent little chunk of change.
I've been very good with my money.
I got a decent little chunk of change.
I ain't got no hundred million.
I don't know, Ocho.
I may have to put the baby arm out on the table.
The baby arm might got to come out, Ocho. I ain't gonna lie.
Hey, there's certain
things, even
if your moral compass is at its highest, you might be staying on integrity and all this stuff that people preach about living right and doing right.
A hundred million cash.
Everything in life comes with a price.
Hey, that's what I tell my pastor.
I say, you know, I'm donating 10% to you guys.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
Oh, that's not.
You know, I donate 10%.
Because you remember that,
what was that movie?
Which one?
Million Dollar, was it Million Dollar?
Somebody,
Robert Redford was playing somebody,
I think Demi Moore.
He played her husband,
a million dollars to spend the night with her.
Oh, that was,
what was the name of that movie?
Indecent Proposal.
Indecent Proposal, yes.
Indecent Proposal, yeah.
So, that's for a million.
Right.
For potentially somebody, you know, to sleep with your wife.
For one, for, shit, man, please.
A million?
Hey, gee.
He probably thinking, hey, somebody probably done taxed him for free.
Let me go to get this bread.
Somebody applied pressure
for free.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Listen,
when you think about
that situation,
81% said yes,
Ocho,
19% said no.

A hundred X that.
Man.
Yes.

and Jay Alexander's.
Jay Alexander's out here in Cincinnati.
I've ridden corporate twice. I've written corporate twice.
I've written corporate.
What did you ask him for?
The honey butter croissants that he used to sell when I was with the Bengals during my tenure.
After every home game, so it's 16-game season, eight games out the year, including lunch and dinner during and throughout the week, I ate at J. Alexander's simply for the honey butter croissants.
It's been 12 years.
I've ridden corporate twice, and they still haven't bought the honey butter croissants out.
Back, back again.
They're probably going to bring them back, Ojo.
Huh?
They're probably going to bring them back.
I mean, listen.
You might be the only one requesting them.
You know what? It's all good. There's a place here called Cheddar's.
I don't know what Cheddar's is. I've never had Cheddar's.
And the people in Cincinnati continue to tweet me and send me messages on Instagram that Cheddar's has a honey butter croissants.
So tomorrow I'm going to go try Cheddar's and see what it's all about.
I just missed those damn croissants before my meal.
Awesome appetizer.
And I hope, I hope,
I hope the people
from Jay Alexander see this
so we can get the ball rolling
on bringing those croissants back
because I miss them.
Please.
Yes.

It's funny. The Cowboys
moved the needle when they winning and they move the needle when they losing.
Good, bad, or indifferent.

What's up, Uncle Ocho?
Question, if Houston, Texas beat Baltimore this weekend,
would that not be enough to put CJ?
I know you say MVP frontrunner.
RDR Food, the MVP has already been voted on.
So there's nothing that anybody can do come playoff time.
There's nothing anybody can do.
The MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, nothing that anybody can do come playoff time there's nothing anybody can do the mvp defensive
player of the year rookie of the year coach of the year all the awards that have been voted on
yes all the awards have been voted on he's uh he played he's had an unbelievable season
you can make the case he had the greatest rookie season for a quarterback
based on his numbers,
based on what he was
able to do in the postseason
thus far, he's had the
greatest rookie season. But I
don't believe what he's done in
the regular season is enough to
overtake Lamar. Lamar is going to win
the award. The question is
is it going to be unanimously?
So hopefully I answered your question.
49 to 1.
You know, they always going to do that.
They're always one idiot.
Comedian Cody Bean,
hey, I got a new job
at the NFL Jersey warehouse,

they be killing Dak they be killing Dak
they be killing Dak
hey there was
there was some type of
there was a meme I saw
it was a meme I saw that was so funny
I think even if Dak's you know even as
a player
you wear this cologne when you don't
nah
nah that wasn't it when you don't? Nah, nah, that wasn't it.
When you don't want to score?
I can't remember what it was, but it was so funny.
I say if Dak saw this, I think even Dak would laugh.
And sometimes as a player, you know, when they make a fun of you,
some things be really funny though, Unc.
Yeah.
Sometimes they be funny as hell, even though they make them funny.

I mean, he had done gave up uh probably a couple touchdowns ocho
three four you know four five six catches right and the man just went in the halftime it's like
hey i'm done i'm done i i don't honestly ocho i really i really don't know because here's the
thing people have often asked like when you do a segment,
do you know? No, I don't.
I don't. Because a lot of times
I didn't know where Skip was going to go.
Right. So,
and he had no idea where I was going to go.
And so, no,
I don't. I don't know. I don't know.
I mean, I have a general idea
what I'm going to say,
but sometimes you get up there and you just freestyle it.
You just go.
You just go.
You just go in and and the words come out and and you're never sure.
Oh, Joe, you really never sure, because there have been times I've done segments and I think, oh, this is going to kill them and nothing.
And then there have been times that it's like it goes viral.
So you really don't know.
You just try to be as honest and as forthcoming as you possibly can.
You know, sometimes things you can be.
Some things require you to be a little bit more serious than others right and then some things
you know you can make you know you can have be light-hearted with about but you don't know you
don't know you i'm trying to think
how did he how did he think how did he
how did he word

Great comedian.
Obviously, we're booking up with Club Che Che,
but it was brought to my attention what she said.
Vet Tran says,
Ocho, how did you come up with your child please catchphrase?
What would up catchphrase be if he had one?
My child please catchphrase was one that I used a long time ago while I was still playing that I really wanted people to use in the corporate world when people upset you, depending on what they say to you and it gave you an outlet to say fuck you honestly because
I talk about it on on our own hard knocks back in the day child please is a nice way of saying
f you and say it when someone says something you disrespect for something that you don't like
so it's all about the delivery and the way you say child please it's the same as you saying
f you in general so your delivery important, especially in the corporate world.
And people will piss you off saying child, please.
And delivering it with the right tone.
It gives you the same feeling and they have no clue what you're talking about.
What would yours be?
You're saying if you had one.
I don't even know.
You got to have
something that resonates with you.
That child plea. People still
using child plea still to this day.
Just randomly.
You know, I'm a big bet. I'll be like, you won't bet nothing.
Because everybody always talking about this or that.
I'm probably big.
You won't bet nothing.
What else I got?
Don't play with me.
That's it?
You know, people like to be, yeah.
I'm really, Ocho,
I'm very, very matter-of-fact.
And the one thing, look,
the one thing that throughout my life

You won't find a woman that's dated me in the last 30 years that ever tell you they saw me put on cologne.
They won't even tell you they seen it in my house.
Damn.
You don't want no smell good?
No little potpourri?
You know what my favorite cologne is?
What?
Listerine.
I'm going to get them swishers in.
Wait, you
shout out. You and that Listerine and brushing
your teeth.
I put the pearly white
on him. It's over.
It's over.
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
You're right. You're right. You's over. Yeah. Okay. Okay. You right. You right.
You right.
Eduardo Lopez,
Uncle Nocho,
with a diamond in your system,
are you treated tonight
like a 40-yard dash
or a marathon?
Shoot.
What?
Woo.
Man,
I got a,
I got a 40-yard dash,
you know?
40-yard dash, you know? you know 3 minute intervals I don't know
if you begin to track and feel
in track and feel now I don't know if you notice
everything is a sprint
the 10k is a sprint
the 5k
the 3k the steeplechase
everything is a sprint it used to be the 3K, the steeplechase, everything is a sprint.
It used to be the 100 meters and the 200
meters, but the way they're running now,
everything is a sprint.
I like that.
The diamond on me.
Woo!
Diamonds on you.
It's a different animal.
There's something about
with that diamond on me
I felt like I had
the Ravens defense behind me
you know what I'm saying
when I was in Baltimore
back in 2000
I could talk as bad
as I want to
because I had backup
with that diamond on me
if I'm talking crazy to you
you better believe
that thing in my system
you better believe
that thing in my system
don't play with me play with me if you want to I'm going to in my system. You better believe that thing in my system now. Don't play with me.
Play with me if you want to. I'm going to try
that. I'm going to try that.
I don't know when. I don't know how.
But I'm going to try that.
I'm going to tell you about it.
I'm going to come back and tell you
about it. You hear me
talking crazy to you, girl, but
do something.
It's on me. It's in me in me you know it ain't on me it's in me yeah
i don't took it i already took it
oh yeah
what we got oh and you should hire me as
a mod i'm loyal i'm honest always on
time plus i'm
a drill brick and choking stick for Ocho and you.
I don't know.
I ain't in charge of the mods.
I don't even know what they is, but Ash handled that.
So that's on you and Ash.
Mark, though, how often do you run into a situation like when that guy recorded you at the airport?
Do things like that happen a lot?
It doesn't happen a lot. I mean, here at the airport. Do things like that happen a lot? Uh, it doesn't happen a lot.
I mean,
here's the thing.
What makes me upset is that when people try to do it on the sneak,
I'm getting on the plane and all of a sudden they pretend like they got,
and they like,
come on,
bro,
bro.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
I was like,
bro,
for real. That's what you're going to do. Right., bro, really? Yeah. Really? I'm like, bro, for real?
That's what you're going to do?
Right.
Just ask.
Can you take a picture?
Hmm.
So it happens.
Sometimes you might not look welcoming, though.
Like, I would like to think I have a welcoming nature, even if you don't know me.
Like, I just look happy all the damn time.
Yeah.
I think you look like, okay, you see me, you know I want to be bothered.
So it forces people to have to take a picture from afar.
I just get on the plane.
I just sit down and I mind my business.
I don't say anything.
You know, a lot of times the flight attendants
ask my dad or my brother,
my husband, my son,
you mind if I take a picture? You mind if I sign an autograph?
Sure. But for the most part,
I'm sitting in my seat. I don't care on the conversation.
That's how I am.
I just
prefer to just sit down,
keep my mouth shut, and just plain land, get up and go about my business.
Because I don't want people to say, well, he said this or he was like this or like that.
Most of the time, I don't say anything to nobody.
So I just go about my business.
We need to work on you being a little bit more sociable, being a little bit more of a people person, getting to know, listen, I have a problem. Whoever's sitting next to me on a flight,
we are going to talk. We're going to hold a conversation. And by the time we land,
I'm going to know everything about you from the time you were born until the moment we sat next
to each other on that plane. I love engaging in conversations about any and everything with
people I've never met?
I mean, for the most part, I think the last time I had a conversation with somebody on the plane,
I was flying back from, I think I was flying back from Essence Fest. And, uh, this young lady,
she did a song with Busta Rhymes. I think her name is Bia. And her and I had a conversation.
BIA. I think that's her name. Don't, don't, don't. BIA, I think that's her name.
Don't quote me, but I think that was her name.
And her and I was having a conversation.
You know, she was telling me about the song she did with Busta.
And, you know, she was talking about she was learning how to cook.
I think she wanted to learn how to cook etouffee.
I said, good luck with that.
Let me know how that turned out for you.
Yeah, you try to cook etouffee. I say good luck with that. Let me know how that turned out for you. Yeah, you try to cook etouffee.
What's that?
It's a New Orleans dish.
A New Orleans dish?
Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah.
I don't know about
how that's going to
turn out for you,
but okay.
Geraldine Carly says,
Shay and Chad,
please give me a birthday
shout out for my 55th.
Geraldine,
happy 55th birthday.
Enjoy today,
if it's today, and many, many more
to come. Happy birthday, Geraldine.
Happy birthday. I would
sing it, but we're not allowed to sing no more.
I apologize. Michael
Cena said, Night, Unc, and Ocho
always enjoy, as
always. Ocho,
is that a Nakata Japan jersey?
I guess it is.
He was that boy.
Can you retell the story from Hard Knocks with Tony Saragusa?
Goose.
Goose locked me in that Locked me in that In that trailer
You know what
Obviously me being a bad player
Wade Harmon
Who was our position coach
He was like hey

Cool boom
So I'm like alright
Goose is I'm ready to get up out of there
Turn the door Door lock Boom. So I'm like, all right, deuces. I'm ready to get up out of there.
Turn the door.
Door lock.
Turn the door.
Door lock.
At that point in time, the only thing going through my mind is Goose.
Goose fat ass did this.
Right.
Because ain't nobody else.
Don't nobody else joke like that.
For the most part, we left everybody alone.
Everybody left everybody alone.
I mean, we know who to bother.
Goose was the only one
that didn't really care.
He bothered.
He effed with everybody.
And so,
once I got out of there,
I said,
I'm going to get this fat ass back.
Because I knew he was in meetings.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Man.
How are you going to get him back
if he's in meetings, though?
Because he left his keys in the truck
i drove and i drove it
uh and i drove across to the parking lot he knew it was me just like i knew it was him
he came into my room and talk about it talk sorry. Well, I'm not sorry. He
was sorry. And I was sorry that
I drove his truck to the parking lot.
But man, I missed that dude.
I got an opportunity to see him
probably a month before he passed
for the filming of the documentary
that we did on the
2000 Ravens, the Bullies
of Baltimore.
Man, he looked great.
He was goose as always joking.
Sam, his daughter was there.
Man, that thing,
that thing broke my heart.
Because the goose and I came in,
well, goose was a free agent,
but we was in the same,
you know, same year in 1990.
So I miss you, goose.
Lady Ray asked, Shannon Nocho, if you were to do an interview with someone them interviewing you who would it be and why so you could sit down and someone
would interview ocho who would it be somebody interviewing me who would it be? Somebody interviewing me. Who would it be?
Damn, that's a good one.
You know what?
Don Lemon.
Okay.
I know it's a weird one.
I pulled that really out of nowhere.
But I like the way Don Lemon conducts himself in a no-tolerance type manner.
You know, he'll get you together when you need to.
He'll read you if you need to.
You know, he can take...
I just like the way he conducted himself, especially on when he was on CNN.
He was he was on that.
Probably.
Yeah, probably done.
Probably he's not alive anymore.
Ed Bradley would be first.
60 Minutes, Ed Bradley.
Mike Wallace
also 60 Minutes would be second
and because I grew up watching him I remember
when Walter Cronkite signed off the air
and Dan Rather took over I think it was
1981 Dan Rather
well hell you mentioned somebody that passed
away already if I could just get someone
to interview me from the past, mine would be.
Why is it slipping my mind, man?
Just that fast.
Him and Muhammad Ali used to go at it all the time.
It would just.
Oh, Howard Cosell.
Howard Cosell.
Now, that would be an interview.
Now, he was.
I like.
Oh, OK.
Dr. Frankie, Dr. Frankie, Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy came back.
I don't do one night stands.
I'm just saying I'm too grown for small talk.
If that's all you want is a one night stand.
I'm not your lady.
Simple.
I get it.
I'm in a place that I'm not good for no one night stand either.
I just can't run the risk.
So I'm going to need to know more.
I'm going to need to know more than some colors.
I'm going to need to know your tag number on your car.
How long you had it.
How much you pay a month.
Your residence.
Yeah, your boss?
I'm going to be no more than the way.
Nah, hell nah.
That's where I am, Mocho.
To each his own.
Like I said, I ain't got no problem with nobody.
I don't stand in judgment of nobody.
You can have a one night stand, a tree stand, a kickstand.
I don't care.
That ain't got nothing to do with shame.
But I'm just saying
where I am in my life now.
Right. Yeah.
Depending on who you are, you know, it just
is circumstance matters.
Circumstance matters. For sure.
As most people love using
the word vibe, that matters.
It just, to me,
I mean, we all grown.
