Key Topics & Insights

1. Conor McGregor’s Anticlimactic UFC Return (08:12 – 20:01)

• McGregor’s Return Fight:
  McGregor squared off against Max Holloway in a welterweight rematch after a five-year layoff, but the bout was unexpectedly disappointing when McGregor suffered a knee injury almost immediately.

  “As far as selling a fight, promoting a fight, I would say Ali one, Conor McGregor might be two…But this was anticlimactic.” (Uncle Joe, 08:12)

• What Went Wrong:
  The team speculates whether McGregor’s injury happened during the fight or in training, noting his uncharacteristic flying kick and repeated slipping.

  “When you see that right knee give...I thought the ring was wet and that's why he kept slipping.” (Uncle Joe, 09:15)
  “It is hard when you kind of fat, full and that edge is gone.” (Ocho, 14:27)

• Big Fight Drawing Power:
  McGregor remains the biggest PPV draw in UFC history but may lack the hunger needed after his massive financial windfall (“300 million is life-altering…hard for you to get up and train when you got silk pajamas…”).

• Boxing & Life After the Big Payday:
  Comparison to Mayweather’s discipline and the difficulty elite athletes face returning after such high earnings.

  “Now, just think, in a matter of six months, I got $300 million at my disposal. Now it's hard for you to get up and train when you got silk pajamas…” (Uncle Joe, 10:42)

• Relatable Athletic Letdowns:
  Joe Johnson likens the anticlimax to losing a star to injury early in a playoff game.

  “Imagine that's the Super Bowl. The first player of the game and the best player is out.” (Uncle Joe, 13:33)

---

2. Who’s the Next Giant UFC Draw? Jon Jones, Ngannou, and Fight Hype (17:10 – 27:09)

• Conor’s Charisma vs. Others:
  Speculating if Jon Jones had McGregor’s charisma, he’d be “the biggest draw in combat sports.”

• The Match Fans Want:
  Discussion centers on whether Jon Jones vs. Francis Ngannou will ever happen, with money and promotion being the deciding factors.

  “Jon Jones and the Cameroonian assassin, Francis Ngannou. That's the only fight that matters.” (Uncle Joe, 21:19)

• Jon Jones’ Legacy:
  Even with long layoffs, the crew doubts anyone can beat Jones:

  “Until I see somebody beat that man with my own two eyes, I can't pick against Johnny Jones even with a two year layoff.” (Uncle Joe, 24:34)

• “Would You Fight Jon Jones?” Banter:
  Light-hearted trash talk about what it would take to get one of them into the Octagon, with Ocho vowing, “I'll choke your little ass out,” (Ocho, 26:32) and everyone laughing about how quickly things can end in MMA.

3. Patty Pimblett Chokes Out Saint Denis – The Rise of a New Star (35:22 – 39:28)

• Paddy’s Blitz:
  Paddy Pimblett scores a statement win over Benoît Saint Denis, needing just 52 seconds to secure the second-fastest D’Arce choke in UFC history. Paddy, with his crowd-pleasing style, is acknowledged as UFC’s next big draw.

  “Pimblett transitioned to a D’Arce choke and ended the fight with 52 seconds, the second fastest D’Arce choke submission…” (Uncle Joe, 35:24)

• Quick Finishes vs. Grinding It Out:
  Uncle Joe jokes he’d “try to get up out of there” too, rather than “go 15, 20 minutes.”

• Ground Game Banter:
  Crew riffs about wrestling backgrounds and who could choke whom out.

  “All I'm saying is you might be good, but you can't mess with me. That's all I'm saying.” (Ocho, 37:56)

• Other Fight Fallout:
  Discussion of injuries and time needed before other UFC fighters, including Justin Gaethje’s conquered opponent, are back in action.

England vs. Norway Recap

• England Advances:
  England defeats Norway 2–1 in extra time, led by Jude Bellingham’s two goals. Praise for his knack for game-changing moments and positioning.

  “Bellingham, Jude Bellingham, that is. He scored twice for the second time...He always somewhere that ball car him.” (Uncle Joe, 43:52 & 45:01)

• Norway’s Wastefulness:
  Norwegian striker Haaland is left to “empty the tank,” subbed out after not finding the net for the first time in a World Cup knockout match.

  “I don’t know how to say dude’s name. But…he could have made it 2-0…he wanted to take it on himself. He gonna be hated for a little while…” (Joe, 52:10 & Ocho, 52:56)

[Uncle Joe]

bad for him though, at least let's get into it. Returning out the five year layoff, Conor McGregor squared off against Max Holloway in the welterweight rematch of their featherweight bout in August of 2013 and the results were disappointing. Ocho, I think the thing is, look, cover the sport alone, not mma. But I've been around sports and as far as selling a fight, promoting a fight, I would say Ali one, Conor McGregor might be two.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Now as far as fight draws, you got, yes, Tyson is the king, then you got money May. And I'm not so sure this kid, young man right here, Conor McGregor ain't number three as far as drawing in the paper. In the pay per view era, he could promote a fight, he can sell a fight. But this was anti climatic. I don't know, I don't know because this is not him. He don't normally come out throwing flying kicks, so I don't know if he heard it in the staging area, the warmup area, I don't know. Did he heard it in training? I don't know what it was, but when he threw that first, when you see that right knee give.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

And I was like, I thought the wet, the ring was wet and that's why he kept slipping. But after going back and looking at the replays, I can see that knee. Kel Buckley, go ahead.

[Joe]

Oo I think obviously I forgot who, what, what fight it was. I'm sure people in the chat that watch combat sports, especially the ufc, on a consistent basis. I remember seeing him come out one fight, I can't remember who he was fighting, but as soon as, as soon as ref said get it on, he flew out and threw a punch or he threw a flying kick or a flying knee, something like that. So I haven't seen him do it since then. But I think the fact that he has such a long layoff, Uncle Joe, you know, five years and the adrenaline rush and, and then there was no calmness to him. And I just don't think the knee was able to hold up and withstand with him exerting that much energy right off jump. That's the only thing I could think of. Unky blew his knee out. Yeah, if, if you watch the replay

[Uncle Joe]

in slow motion, that's what it looks like.

[Ocho]

Oh, here, here's my question. Ooh. Well, damn. Ain't you been training for the past, what, two months or so, you know, ain't you been kicking? Ain't you been boxing? Huh?

[Uncle Joe]

He's been trading longer than that, I'm

[Ocho]

saying, for him to listen, listen though. But for him to start to fight the way that he did, hell, I was like, damn, what the hell kind of out here doing. He must got some new, some new tricks up his sleeve.

[Uncle Joe]

I think the fight you're talking about, Ocho, is the fight he had with Jose Aldo. Is that Aldo charged him, he backed up, caught him with a left, and then finished him with hammer fist. I think that's the fight that it was quick. Yeah, but when I look at, when I look at this, Joe, you're absolutely right. And he said it before, it's like his life changed. First of all, he got life altering money when he fought Ford Mayweather in 2017. Then he starts a whiskey brand, he sells 50, 60 of that for 300 million. So now I got $300 million, Ocho. One day I'm getting food, I'm fighting in the ufc, and, and I'm making good money, don't get me wrong. But 300 million is life altering. Even if you making 10, 15 million dollars a fight per fight, you're only fighting at most twice a year. So now just think, in a matter of six months, I got $300 million at my disposal. Now it's hard for you to get up and train when you got silk pajamas and milk sleep slippers and you live in an ivory tower because all of a sudden getting punched and kicked and choked, it don't seem as appealing as it once did.

[Ocho]

It, hey, it takes, it takes.

[Uncle Joe]

That's why you gotta take you. When guys start. Think about it, Mayweather was making all this money, 20, 30, 40 million, and he still trained like he was broke. Yeah, it's not like the old days, Ocho, when I said guys used to fight three, four times a year, if a guy didn't get knocked out, Ocho, that joke was, even if he got knocked out, he was still fighting two, three times a year. If you won and didn't get no bruise, you fighting four times times of the year because the money wasn't like it is. So now all of a sudden you get life altering money in a span of six weeks, six months, it changes your perception. Are you still as hungry? Can you still fight like you broke, like you destitute. Now, look, he's not the most skilled. He, look, he's a striker. And if you go look at anybody, when they get him on the mat, they keep him there for the rain the remainder of the round and they gas him out. Look at Khabib did it, everybody. That's how they beat him. Now, if you stand up there and try to trade blows with him, you probably, probably gonna knock you out. So he's not versatile. And the one thing that you got, you don't got to be great at any one thing. In ufc, you got to be good at a lot of disciplines. You got to be able to wrestle, you got to be able to strike, you got to be able to snuff a takedown. You got to be able to get up, you got to be good, good, not great. Now, you get a guy like Jon Jones and he's damn near great at everything, or you get a guy like a St. Pierre, great. But this is, man, this is so anticlimactic. It's almost, you know, to be like Joe Ocho if the super bowl and the quarterback, the first player of the game gets the injury, gets a, gets the injured. He's out for the game.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Hey, I'm glad you just said that, Uncle Joe. 2005.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Yeah, Joe. First playoff game, Cincinnati. Carson Palmer dropped back. Those are 50 yard bomb. First play of the game to Chris Henry.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

I look back, first play, he out, torn acl.

[Uncle Joe]

So just, just, just think about how you felt in a playoff game. And now imagine that's the Super Bowl. You'd have been crack. It's like, you know, the first player of the game and the best player in the basketball game.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

And he's out for the remainder of the game. So basically, he's gonna be out for the remainder of the series. In your situation, Joe, it's the remainder of the series if it happened games one or if it gave. If it's game seven, man.

[Joe]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Ocho]

I agree with you, though. I think it is hard when, you know, when you kind of fat, full and that edge is gone a little bit.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

You know what I mean? So, so, so your training regimen may not be as strict as normal. Maybe he took Buddy for granted, but I think, hey, Holloway took it easy on him because, hell, he could have really, he really could have put his lights out quick.

[Uncle Joe]

Quick.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

I mean, sportsmanship.

[Uncle Joe]

I think he kind of knew something wasn't right. They got history because I, I, I thought I Tweeted. I was like, man, why does man keep slipping? Hey, bro, I'm thinking the floor. I'm thinking. Because I. Look, I know I don't been to. I don't been to a UFC fight. They go in the ring and they dried up there. I mean, look, obviously there's blood on the. And sweat especially, but I'm like, I ain't never seen them. And then, you see, they white. They dry their feet off when. Before they get into the ring.

[Ocho]

And.

[Uncle Joe]

And so I was like, why is this man slipping like that? Because you can't see it in real time. I mean, you. They had to go back and slow show it down in slow motion for you to see what actually happened. But I was just like, but, damn, he slipped again. I was like, why is this man slipping so much?

[Ocho]

Listen, man, that's why it's so important, bro, to have to stay composed, be calm in big situations, mean any type of sporting event. Because once you get in there, bro, like, how the hell he start off with a flying kick? I'm like, damn. You know what I mean?

[Uncle Joe]

That's normally not him.

[Ocho]

Huh?

[Uncle Joe]

That's normally not him.

[Ocho]

That's what I'm saying. So, like, he didn't come in there, like, you know, just. Just, you know, probably a little bit more relaxed. Like, you come flying out your corner

[Uncle Joe]

with a kick, bro.

[Ocho]

Come on.

[Joe]

You know what? That's my bad. You know who did that? Started right off with that flow with a flying knee. That was.

[Uncle Joe]

Did that to be an asker.

[Joe]

My bad.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, yeah, you talking about Ben Asker when he flew and called him and knocked him out with a flying knee?

[Joe]

Yeah, that's my bad. My bad. Sorry about that.

[Uncle Joe]

No, and when.

[Ocho]

And when you had that type of injury that he had, you can't play through that, bro.

[Zepbound Medication Announcer]

You.

[Boost Mobile Announcer]

You can't.

[Uncle Joe]

No, no, no, no.

[Ocho]

You can't play that off.

[Uncle Joe]

You got no stability, and you can't fight with him. I mean. No, it's over. It's over. It's over. After that. Yeah, I just. Oh, my God. Look. And I feel bad. I feel bad because there were some great matches tonight. Gable Stevenson, he won his ufc. He won. Did a great job on his guy, but so many people, this is what they paid to see. Yeah. Conor McGregor.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Conor McGregor is the biggest draw in UFC history, and it's not close.

[Joe]

Yeah, easily.

[Uncle Joe]

It's not close. I'm not saying he the best fighter. I said he's the biggest draw. Nobody moves the needle in the history of the UFC like Conor McGregor. Go ahead.

[Joe]

I got one. Hey, Joe. And I'll think about this. Think if you take Conor McGregor's personality, right, with his personality, his cachet, his presence, his aura, his word play, his mannerisms, his charisma, and you put into a Jon Jones, what the hell you think would happen? Can you imagine John Jones? Not only does he fight the way he fights, but he had all those intangibles that come.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, John is a guy. John got a switch.

[Ocho]

Yeah, I know.

[Uncle Joe]

He different that that. No, no, he. He's.

[Zepbound Medication Announcer]

He.

[Uncle Joe]

He's a serial killer. For real. Yeah, I know.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

For real.

[Joe]

If he had that other dynamic, I

[Uncle Joe]

mean, to go along with it, I mean, that's like, well, I'm gonna give. I'm gonna give Ali Mike Tyson's tenacity.

[Joe]

Exactly.

[Uncle Joe]

So you. I mean, but if you look at Conor and what he's done, nobody's a bigger draw. And, you know, maybe, yeah, they could have had him on the. You on the White House card, but for what? It's kind of like, look, I understand that the Cowboys are grandfathered in because in the Thanksgiving, anybody that plays on Thanksgiving is going to do a huge number because guess what? Everybody's off from work, for the most part. Off from work. And they're sitting around watching television.

[Ocho]

Yep.

[Uncle Joe]

So you can put anybody there and they're going to do a big number. They're like, you know what? We gonna save him and let him do his own thing in Vegas. And you see the buzz that it created. Everybody's talking about it. Connor's back, Conor's back, Conor's back. Everybody wanted to see. But it's hard. And we talked about this all the time. Ocho, you got to continue to sharpen that knife. You take. Think about this. You take five, tell me the profession that you can take five years off and be as sharp as you were when you left. Look how Jordan. As great as Jordan was. Jordan wasn't the Jordan that left. When he came back the first time.

[Ocho]

Facts.

[Uncle Joe]

He was not. It took him. He had a game or two, but. But that was a year and a half. Now imagine taking five years off. Yeah, you're five years older. Your skills. Because it's not like he. Look here, it wasn't like he was training. He was enjoying himself. He's driving lambos, he's on yachts, he's jet setting, going from place to place to place. But I, I, I, I. And it's hard to say. Now, Chad, I know y' all are like, it's hard to Feel sorry, but I do, because, you know, you come back, if you get beat, I get beat. I can live with that.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

But, damn. A minute into the fight and it's over because I. I suffer a knee injury that is so. That is so anticlimactic. And I. And Dana, I know Dana's just like, damn, what kind of luck I had tonight with this.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Joe]

I mean, that sucks. But. But. But as an athlete. As an athlete, I think you can. You can kind of understand there's certain things that out of your control. You know, it's put all the work in, and then it's time to play. Or in. In this instance tonight, it's time to actually fight, and all that work you put in is down the drain because of an injury that's really out of your control. I mean, it sucks for the people, especially those that. That were excited, like myself, excited to watch him fight. It sucks for those that actually paid to go to Vegas, you know, to. To watch the fight. But outside of that, listen, I. I remember that. I remember the memories. I remember all the good memories.

[Uncle Joe]

Unbelievable.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

That bad day, he was at the deos and at the desk, and they had all the fighters. He was, like, at the bottom row, and they had people behind him, and he was talking to somebody. Started talking. He turned around. Who the are you, man? He just had a way. Him and Floyd, I do think some of the things that he and Floyd was saying kind of crossed the line, so you have to be careful with that.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

But hey, to Joe Frazier, he probably thought Ali crossed the line with some of the things that he said to him.

[Ocho]

Absolutely.

[Uncle Joe]

Absolutely. With that being said, there's one fight to be made that'll be the biggest fight in UFC history. Was that.

[Ocho]

Who?

[Uncle Joe]

Jon Jones and the Cameroonian assassin, Francis Ngannou. That's the only fight that matters. Now, Chad, let me know what y' all think.

[Ocho]

Hey, hey, hey, hold on. Hold up. Do y' all think realistically that's gonna happen?

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, if. If they want it to happen? Because you see.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, Mayweather fault Conor McGregor. Why? Because they wanted it to happen. There's too much money involved for it not. And they've been going back and forth. Francis and John been going back and forth.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

For instance, Nganu tweeted something, somebody, he's the baddest man. Jon Jones tweeted back, the baddest man from across the street, Francis tweeted back, said, we'll cross the street. You know what I'm saying?

[Ocho]

Okay.

[Uncle Joe]

I say I'm the baddest man. I'm on one side. You say you the baddest man on the other side. Cross the street and we'll settle it.

[Ocho]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Dana, that's the only fight that you can be. That's. That's the only fight that can happen.

[Joe]

This is the funny thing. This is the only fight that can happen. Obviously, this is the fight that all the people want to see. Heavyweights, Jon Jones, Francis. But the money for Jon Jones, it has to make sense. It has to be right. That's been the issue with, with Dana White, if I'm not mistaken. You can correct me if I'm wrong with him. And the, the, the disconnect between him and Jon Jones is him to come back and fight in the ufc, the money has to make sense for what he's done, not only for the sport, but also being undefeated.

[Uncle Joe]

Yes. Look, I get it, everybody talking about Tom Aspinall, but Tom Aspinall did not look good against Cyril Gan. And just because he didn't. And I get this, I understand Styles may fight and just because someone didn't look good against Garne, that doesn't mean. But just think about what Cyril gone just did, and just think about what Jon Jones did to him after being away from the game. Yeah, Jon Jones is a different type of animal. Now, we all know Ngannou is heavy handed. Very heavy handed. That is a ginormous ass, man.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean, I sat down and interviewed with him, Ocho and Joe. Yeah, he a. He265 and he is he lucky. I tell you what, he built like Miles Garrett.

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Uncle Joe]

That's what he, that's what he, that's what he looks like up close. Miles Garrett.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah,

[Uncle Joe]

he not technically, he not technical. He's a striker. But you got to be great to beat John. You got to be. Hey, you got to be on your game because, look, he ain't really a strike when he. Look, we striking. He looking to set something up. Yeah, he looking to take you down. He used to hit you, eat you. He gonna kick, he gonna get you with a kick. He gonna get closer to you. You're gonna get you with a spinning elbow. He gonna elbow you in your face. That's what he's. That's what all he's doing. He's just doing that to loosen you up. He ain't, he ain't trying to do no damage.

[Joe]

I got a question for you though. Huh? You think about this though, right? When's the last time Jon Jones been in the ring?

[Uncle Joe]

Last Time he fought. He fought Cyril Gone probably two years ago.

[Joe]

Okay, two years ago, you think the inactivity for two years and he comes back and it just so happened he gets the opportunity to fight Francis. Who you going for?

[Uncle Joe]

Who am I going for? Until I see somebody beat that man with my own two eyes, I can't pick against Johnny Jones even with a two year layoff. He's been office for 40 months. I'm not picking against that man, Ocho. Okay, listen, what about you, Ocho?

[Ocho]

Who you got?

[Joe]

I mean, obviously I'm gonna go with the person that's undefeated. I'm gonna go. I'll be just curious to hear what Unc's answer would be because most of the time, you know, Unc would, Would favor. Wouldn't be in to favor someone that's been laid off or had.

[Uncle Joe]

I watched him be laid off and do what he did to Serial Gone. Yeah, he ran through Serial Gone. I. I watched him. And, and, and people say, well, Stipe was old. I don't know how old he was. Jon Jones beat his ass. I don't know how old he was, but he was old enough to get in the ring and fight. And John's whipped him.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

And I saw. And everybody saw what Zero. What? What? What? How Cyril Gone looked this last fight. And everybody saw what Jon Jones did to him after a layoff. I ain't betting against Jon Jones. I'm not, I'm not.

[Joe]

Joe, how much. How much we could pay you to get in there with John Jones joke?

[Ocho]

Yeah, I know my limitations, Uncle Ocho.

[Uncle Joe]

Man, that man got an 84 inch reach. 84 inches. He's six four, 84 inches.

[Joe]

Joe got him. I know Joe will put him to sleep. Huh, Joe?

[Ocho]

I put your ass asleep for sure. I know I do that. Hey, stop trying to throw me off on Jon Jones, all that.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, you want that? Hey, I can set that up. I get Dana, I get Dana. We go to the apex. They got an octagon and everything over there. Got a boxing ring too.

[Ocho]

Hey, set it up for me.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, when you.

[Joe]

Hey, when you say put me to sleep, I mean. And you, you talk about like, see,

[Ocho]

see, for the chat. I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna lump you up. And for Uncle, I ain't gonna lump you up because I know you're gonna need. But I'm gonna choke your little ass out. That what I'm doing. I'm gonna grab it. I'm gonna grab it little ass and choke him out. That what we'll Do God damn. Oh, oh, you see the one dude got choked out. He looked up, he like, damn, it's over with. Yeah, man, that man choke you out here. What the hell you got going on down

[Uncle Joe]

that. Hey, that's what happens when you go unconscious. Hey, sometimes, Joe, they start fighting the referee. It's over.

[Ocho]

Hey, bro, UFC is a different sport, man.

[Uncle Joe]

They will literally put you to sleep.

[Ocho]

Partner, you out there playing.

[Uncle Joe]

That's.

[Joe]

Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad, you know, I'm glad. You know what we would do you what?

[Ocho]

Hey, man, I thought he broke dude neck, dude. Hey, they tapped dude.

[Uncle Joe]

He looked up like, damn, it's over with.

[Ocho]

Yeah, it's over, man. That man.

[Uncle Joe]

And they got so many different. Man, look here. They got so many different. I remember the first. I went to the very first ufc. It was held in Denver. The first two were held in Denver. That's with Horst Gracie. Because this Jiu jitsu, it came from that, the Gracie family. Because back then, Joe, there was no weight classes. You fought and you keep fighting until the end of the night. So you might have to fight three times in the night in order to get to the chip.

[Ocho]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

And there was no weight. So a guy 130 might be fighting the guy. 265.

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Uncle Joe]

And I was like, hey, man. And he had on his gi.

[Ocho]

Yeah, like, man.

[Uncle Joe]

And if I'm not mistaken, I think he fought Kim. Kim Shamrock. I think that's what he fought. Chad. Look it up. 1993 in Denver, Colorado, is a McNichols Arena. That's what the Nuggets used to play. Used to play called McNichols.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Then they changed the name to the Pepsi Center. I don't know what it's called now, but Chad, look it up. 1993, man. This little old dude joke. I was like, man, why he laying down like that? Hey. Next thing you know. Well, I got it. He got him. Little old dude. Little. Little. The Gracie family. I mean, all of it's got a henzo. I think he got a brother named. I'm trying to think all. But, hey, they started it. Yeah, all that jujitsu.

[Joe]

That.

[Uncle Joe]

That's them. Yeah, man, please.

[Ocho]

They serious with it?

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, yes, yes. Oh, it's called. It's called Ballerina now. Okay, but, man, I just. Hey, if I'm not mistaken, I think Drake bet a million dollars that Conor was gonna win.

[Ocho]

Get out of here. He lost that. So they look him gone. But he good. He good. He good, though. He good for it.

[Uncle Joe]

But see, that's the thing. You see how quick Ocho now look, if the man, if the thing go three, four, five rounds get beat. Okay, I can live with that. Yo, Ocho, 30 seconds on some bull job like that, man.

[Ocho]

I'm telling y', all, I'm thinking like, damn. Connor must got a different game plan. He must want to wrestle tonight or something.

[Uncle Joe]

No, no, no, no. It's hard to change up. That's why guys, if you see a lot of these guys going to Dagestan, they go into fight with Khabib group over there because they just a different animal. What you call them thinking about? I was like, I asked Daniel if he think about sending his son, but his son's a football player and he's

[Ocho]

a wrestler over there wrestling grizzlies and all that.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah. That's where they go. That's all they do. That's all you do, wrestle.

[Ocho]

And we should do that, man. We should go.

[Uncle Joe]

Yes.

[Ocho]

What y' all think we go rap, we go over there and wrestle a grizzly with Khabib now?

[Uncle Joe]

No, I'm good.

[Joe]

[Uncle Joe]

Patty the baddie earned a statement victory over get back into the win column, beating St. Denis in the first round submission in less than a minute. St. Denis shot for a takedown in the opening seconds of the fight, giving Pimblett an opening to lock a guillotine choke. Moments later, during the scramble on the mat, Pimlet transitioned to a the arch choke and ended the fight with 52 seconds, the second fastest the arts choke submission in UFC history. He needed this because he was supposed to fight Peoria. Yeah, no, he was supposed to fight. What's the guy name? Justin Gaethje. He was supposed to. Ilia Tempor. He was supposed to fight temporary because ended up because Gaethje beat Patty and then because the winner of that. I guess the winner of that was supposed to fight on the. Two of the. On the. The 250. The. The. The u. The. The White House.

[Joe]

White House.

[Uncle Joe]

But Gaethje won and so he ended up fighting. So Patty needed this. Patty was on the road, though. I. I like him. I. Look, he can sell a fight too. Maybe it's something. I don't know. I. I think he's Irish as well, but it's just something about those guys, he come to fight, he give you everything he got. And this was. This. This was quick. That's what I be doing. I'll be trying to get up out of there. I ain't trying to go. I ain't trying to go. Five minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, I'm trying to get it up out of there.

[Ocho]

Hey, penny roll, buddy boy. He put him in. I don't know what type of move he had him in, but he put him to sleep.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, but see, that's. That's the thing that you got to be careful of, Joe. You shoot, and all of a sudden, they get you in a. They get you in a.

[Ocho]

A, a.

[Uncle Joe]

A front choke or a rear naked choke or a triangle choke. Man, they got all kind of joke. Hold on.

[Ocho]

But, hell, hey, ain't you trained to get about all that?

[Uncle Joe]

Not when they get that thing locked in, you ain't. Hey, when they get the feet locked in and clutch on your joke, yeah. You know how you be locked. You know what I'm saying, Joe? You know, you be locked in. That's what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? You ain't be locked in, Joe.

[Ocho]

I don't know. I don't know. I don't be locked in.

[Uncle Joe]

He don't know now. He don't know. Hey, Patty's English.

[Ocho]

Don't tell him what?

[Joe]

Ocho, I was telling. Don't tell Joe nothing about the ground game because he's steadily doing all that talking, not understanding. You know, I was. I was a 6A, you know, wrestling champ my junior year in high school. Yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

So you think you got good technique?

[Joe]

Hey, Joe, I got great ground game. I was. I was like khabib before Khabib.

[Ocho]

Joe, all I'm saying is you might be good, but you can't mess with me. That's all I'm saying.

[Joe]

You know, the funny thing is, is, like, my game is well rounded because I'm, like, good at everything, but I'm probably the best striker you'll ever like.

[Boost Mobile Announcer]

You.

[Uncle Joe]

You.

[Ocho]

You're a good boxer, but you can wrap everything.

[Uncle Joe]

You got a great chance in the ufc, because that's what you got to be. You got to be good at a lot of different disciplines.

[Joe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, Joe, you might want to take back everything you don't say to me before I see you in public.

[Ocho]

Man. Listen, I want you to take this as a threat. I'm gonna choke your little ass out, and you'll keep my name out your mouth. I promise you that matter of fact.

[Joe]

Hey, hey, Joe, I'm in New York.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got something.

[Uncle Joe]

But now this. Look, Patty. Patty look good. I don't know what Gaethje's gonna do. He had that outstanding win over Ilia Tempora, so I don't know what he's gonna do. Ilya gonna take some time. He gonna take some time to cover Fractured Orbital, all that stuff.

[Zepbound Medication Announcer]

He.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

He.

[Uncle Joe]

He's out.

[Ocho]

[Ocho]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

The one that got beat. Justin Gates. You beat the brain. He ended up on the stool.

[Ocho]

[Ocho]

What you mean you got it redone?

[Joe]

What's wrong with it?

[Uncle Joe]

I ended up getting an infection. Listen to my sister. I was using the neti Pot.

[Ocho]

[Uncle Joe]

For sinuses. And I ended up pushing the infection, and it got trapped inside that plate.

[Ocho]

Oh, man.

[Uncle Joe]

So the net depart over for. And then I got to be careful blowing my nose, because if I blow my nose too hard, my nose will start bleeding. Then I got that problem. You know what I'm saying? So I have to be real careful. That's why. You know, a lot of times when people say, well, man, what you doing? You must be taking a bump of cocaine. When I go off camera, I said, no, I'm just wiping my nose. I can't blow it. Because the last thing I need to do is just. Now I got a nosebleed. The whole thing. And I got. Got to put, what you call them up my nose.

[Ocho]

Yeah, I. When I broke mine, it was kind of. It had my skin bulging out like that.

[Joe]

Hey, what a graphic. Hey, what a graphic team at. I know they can see this, man. Y' all gotta make that easy.

[Uncle Joe]

I tell you what, if they like their job at Nightcap, they won't be making a graphic like that.

[Joe]

I make it, then I make it.

[Uncle Joe]

If they like their job. England defeated Norway 2 to 1, an extra time. Bellingham. Jude Bellingham scored twice for the second time in the tournament to lead England to the semifinals. Man, that guy don't go on. Norway Goalie man, that Joe got hands like deandre Ayton. Twice he. Twice he had the ball right. His head, Joe.

He trying to catch the ball versus just hitting it out of play. When you're trying to catch it, you don't catch anybody. Oh, man, we in trouble.

[Uncle Joe]

He was in trouble

[Joe]

again.

[Uncle Joe]

Bellingham. Jude Bellingham, that is. He scored twice for the second time. Ocho. The question is, did England's first goal hit the. The sky cam wire?

[Joe]

You know, what they. You know, I heard somebody say he hit the sky cam wire, but I don't.

[Ocho]

I don't think.

[Joe]

Even if it didn't, I don't think it would have affected anything, you know? No. In general, hitting, hitting the sky cam wire, and that goal have nothing to

[Uncle Joe]

do with each other.

[Ocho]

Part of the game, ain't it?

[Joe]

I mean, not really part of the game, but most of the time, they can say, oh. Because it make. They can say, oh. It was an advantage on why you scored the goal. But the damn. Damn Skywire ain't had nothing to do with that. But I know. I got one question. I don't know what the hell. Jewel Bellingham. I know he's good.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

I know he's in the mid, you know, for real Madrid, but I don't know what he ate before this goddamn World Cup. But he's been playing all world. Like the top player that we already know he is. I mean, dude. I mean, he's balling. He sees he saved them last game. He saved him again today.

[Uncle Joe]

He'd be looking at that. That ricochet. The Ocho. Damn. He always. He always somewhere that ball car him. That ball always in the right place,

[Ocho]

right spots at the right time, or

[Uncle Joe]

he find the ball. Whatever the case is, he find the damn ball. I'm like, damn. And I know Norway's gonna be saying, hold on. Norway had a goal, but they said Holland shoved the guy that went back to. To the bar, I guess. Bar video, you know, assisted replay or something like that. Is that what it is?

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. And so. But he. The guy wasn't in no hurry to get his ass up, Ocho, because Holland did shove it, and he just laid down. I let. Man, get your ass up. They still playing. He like, nah. Cause I want him to go back and look at this. If they do score, he didn't make no attempt to get his ass up off that ground.

[Joe]

Hey, this is. I mean, Jew first goal. That first goal was so. It was so Dope, man. Joe, man, he had a perfect touch. I mean, the touch. In order to even score the goal, he had to touch it the right way. He got that ball off his left

[Uncle Joe]

foot, man, Right through the wickets.

[Joe]

Yeah, man, he been balling. He's been playing really well.

[Ocho]

Yeah, great. Great World cup run for Holland, bro. In Norway.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Wait, so, hey, that mean. Don't that mean in England? England gotta face, what, Argentina now? No.

[Uncle Joe]

France plays. Yes, England and Argentina,

[Joe]

man. Hey, this might be. This might be England.

[Ocho]

I think so.

[Joe]

You have been saying it's coming home since 1960.

[Uncle Joe]

Guess what, Ocho, huh? NBA.

[Joe]

You like who?

[Uncle Joe]

I. I like Messi. But guess what? I'm NBA now. Anybody but Argentina.

[Joe]

Why? What.

[Uncle Joe]

What you.

[Joe]

What's wrong with Argentina? But I'm asking why. Why the change of heart? Cause you was arguing me down about Messi being.

[Uncle Joe]

That don't change anything. But I don't want them to celebrate no more. I want heartbreak for them.

[Ocho]

Damn. Damn.

[Joe]

Okay. Why the change of heart, though? I'm just curious.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, I had a John Q moment.

[Ocho]

I think fr. Friends gonna get him, huh?

[Uncle Joe]

I hope so. Hold on. France play Argentina or. Or Argentina play England?

[Joe]

Well, I thought the two gay. I thought outside for the two games tonight.

[Uncle Joe]

Aba. Anybody but Argentina.

[Joe]

Chat.

[Uncle Joe]

What? Who played?

[Joe]

No, Chat.

[Uncle Joe]

Holland. Oh, Holland picked up 20 million. 20 million. Subs, too.

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Uncle Joe]

He did 20 million. What you call him is almost at 29 million now, boy.

[Ocho]

International superstar. Now, any man

[Joe]

who that. Well, he was already a superstar, Boy, he been cutting the food over there, man.

[Ocho]

He's international now, but he got two.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean, think about it. Ocho, he got 20. He picked up 20 million since the start of the World Cup.

[Joe]

It may depend. What. What was he. What was he at?

[Uncle Joe]

Already he had like 43 million. Now he had 63. Oh, boy. Was at 46, 000. Now he's almost at 29 million.

[Ocho]

Oh, he having a good time, too.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, Messy. Messy. Got 1 million. He picked up a million. But he got 511 million. He got there.

[Joe]

You know who has the most?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, Ronaldo, 670.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Oh, look, Here you go. Yeah, here you go.

[Joe]

Oh, man. Ain't no game tomorrow.

[Uncle Joe]

No, it's Ocho. That was the last. This was the last for the semifinals here.

[Joe]

I'm mad. Okay, so a Tuesday. Oh, Tuesday. We got France and Spain at three.

[Uncle Joe]

No, they got.

[Ocho]

They.

[Uncle Joe]

They got a tournament. They got one game in. In Atlanta on Wednesday, I think.

[Joe]

What game?

[Uncle Joe]

Either. Argentina.

[Joe]

Well, it got to be Argentina and England.

[Uncle Joe]

No, Fred. Somebody Somebody played in Atlanta, if I'm not mistaken, on Wednesday.

[Joe]

I just told you. Argentina.

[Uncle Joe]

England in Atlanta, right?

[Joe]

Yeah. Say yeah. On July 16th.

[Uncle Joe]

No, Argentina's in Atlanta. Yes.

[Joe]

Yeah. July 15th, 3 o'.

[Ocho]

Clock.

[Joe]

Mercedes Benz.

[Uncle Joe]

I want friend. I want Mbappe. I want Mbappe to get the outstanding player. I want him to get the Golden Boot. I want him to get everything.

[Ocho]

And he probably gonna get it, too. He got a great chance. So they gonna probably play. They gonna probably end up playing. Who, Who y' all think? Argentina in the finals?

[Joe]

I think. I think England gonna be Argentina. I. I just. I. I think as long as Argentina

[Uncle Joe]

don't win it on five, Mexican score five goals. As long as the teams go six and beat them. Good, good.

[Ocho]

That's why they gonna win again. That's why they gonna win. I probably bet my money on Argentina now.

[Uncle Joe]

Don't do that, Joe. Just before the half, Norway had a prime opportunity to break with striker. Alexander failed to deliver a clear pass to an open Holland. Later, the team was down 2 1. Holland had to play the final 15 minutes of the match. After Holland was subbed out, coach confirmed after the match he knew Holland was finished, indicating the replacement was mainly down to him emptying the tank and having dead legs. Holland did not score against England, with it being the first World cup knockout match in which he failed to find the net. Because I wonder why I'm trying to think of, you know, because I. I look at everything through the sports lens. I'm like, okay, right, A top player that's not injured. Oo, you coming out the game? The last 15 minutes of the game, Joe, you coming out the game? The last 15 minutes of the game.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

But you say he have. Hey, he have nothing done, huh? He's on. He's on. He's on fumes.

[Joe]

Yeah. By the time they get to the 70th, the 70, the 70th minute, 5th minute, or 76, this is normally when those subs start happening, especially for somebody like Holland, who's running and battling as much as much as he is against those center backs. Yeah, yeah, that. That was about right. That's about time, because he's just out there on fumes and he really not giving you enough. So you got to get somebody in

[Uncle Joe]

there with fresh legs because he went, he go. He went. 90 minutes plus an extra seven, eight. Then he goes another 15.

[Ocho]

Yeah, you gotta be in some real shape, boy, to play soccer. Boy, I'm tired. I was tired just watching their ass.

[Joe]

I. I don't. I don't know how to say dude's name. But he was very selfish when he had. When he. They were up. They were up 1 0, and they could have. They could have made it 2 0. And instead he tried to take a shot himself and tried to take it on.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Why he wide open, Joe to his left. And I see a lot of people saying, oh, well, there was John Stones, who was the center back at the time, was in a good position. No, nobody's ever in a good position. You know, obviously, when you're attacking, you got to use your mind.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe]

You got to use your iq. If anything, go wide and force him to open up a little bit. If you open up a little bit, it creates more space for Holland to be able to. To do something else. I mean, he understands the movement based on what you do as a. As an attacker. But, man, dude, really, he wanted to take it on himself. He could have made the game.

[Ocho]

He gonna be hated for a little while. Ocho behind that boy.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, he hogged the ball.

[Joe]

I mean, what is you doing the World Cup?

[Uncle Joe]

I'm trying to give me a goal, too. I want to tell my kids I score.

[Ocho]

You don't wanna. You don't want to win so we can continue to keep playing.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, I get this goal. We gonna win.

[Ocho]

Hey, he did.

[Uncle Joe]

He did. O Joe. He did. He damn sure did.

[Ocho]

Hey, we talk about the bas. Football guys, the soccer guys, they don't like that man himself in the man get. Damn, why you get up and he

[Uncle Joe]

your best player anytime normally. If that's your best player. If that's. If Holland is their best player. Yeah, if that. If that's Messi, if that's Ronaldo, if that's somebody, man, kick that ball head and let him get that shot up.

[Ocho]

That ain't you. Come on, bro.

[Joe]

Funny thing about it too, is you got the dude dribbling. I don't know how to say his last name. And you have Jon Stones. He's in a really good position. He's in between the person dribbling the ball. And in Holland, all you got to do is take him away from. Take him away from Holland. Dribble to the near post, and it opens up the space for Holland to give you a chance to get.

[Uncle Joe]

You know, I was trying to open up the space for me.

[Joe]

You got to think, man, we trying.

[Uncle Joe]

We trying to do.

[Ocho]

We trying to do something for our country. This is how we have to talk to you, uncle. We trying to do something for the country, man. Come on, make the right play, man.

[Uncle Joe]

So we can keep playing Bingo.

[Joe]

There you go, Joe. Make the. Make the right play.

[Uncle Joe]

That was it. Me doing what I did. That was the right play for me.

[Ocho]

It got blocked.

[Joe]

They got you.

[Uncle Joe]

See? Now, if I'd have made the shot, y' all to say, man, that was a hell of a play by Shay. Absolutely.

[Ocho]

But there you go.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, it just. Hey, hey, hey.

[Ocho]

I always tell cats, man, take that shot with confidence. Hell, if you miss, he may say something. But if you make it, hell, he ain't gonna say nothing.

[Uncle Joe]

But, see, yeah, that's what I'm saying right there. Y' all don't want me to greet. See, Y' all don't want me to be great. Y' all don't want me to get that hero's welcome when I get back. Y' all want that for the. Hey, I want my own float. Hey, hey, hey, you.

[Ocho]

You got. Your man's over here going hollering.

[Angela Yee]

He.

[Ocho]

He been. He been kicking, you know? I mean, go. Go feed your man, man. Let him eat. You gonna eat, too.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, y' all don't. Y' all don't want me on my own.

[Joe]

Not everybody going.

[Uncle Joe]

[Ocho]

All.

[Uncle Joe]

I want to be on my own car, see?

[Ocho]

Hey, hey, but listen, if we keep playing, hell, we get to the finals, and you. You never know. Maybe you will be the hero.

[Uncle Joe]

But damn, we won't know. Y' all gonna want me to pass it to Holland?

[Ocho]

Nah, nah, we won't know now. Cause now we gotta take our ass back to our own country.

[Uncle Joe]

We gotta go all the way back. All that food that they packed up. Cause they bought like £2,000 of food. Y' all about what y' all about. Take that to the local shell to get at the deal.

[Ocho]

Yeah, they. They say our food is no good.

[Joe]

Ac. Hey, hey, he unc like, like, mellow and mellow, mellow, mellow for the next miller at 43 points, no assist.

[Ocho]

But he got.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey.

[Ocho]

But he got heels. Did it.

[Joe]

He got his.

[Uncle Joe]

No, but I. I totally understand what you're saying. I mean, in a situation like that, your best player, you got to reward your best player, man. They did a situation like that. Hey, 20 before the half.

[Joe]

Oh, man, listen, you in the opposition.

[Uncle Joe]

I'm really in the catbird seat, man.

[Ocho]

What?

[Joe]

And the funny thing about it, I can't remember do. I don't know how to pronounce dude's last name and I don't want to butcher it. But boy, he good too. He good too Joe, but he not Holland. He's good too. And his club season, I think he had 13, maybe 20 some goals. But still in that situation, in that moment, you understand the game. Take the space. Take the space and create more space for you to be able to pass facilitate the Holland and let them score the goal.

[Uncle Joe]

So we go up to now too

[Ocho]

nil or you wouldn't be hey, now they gotta roll. They gotta roll their ass back to Norway now.

[Uncle Joe]

They gotta oh, that's what I wanted because I love them. They fast. They fast be able to stand be Roy. They got the best celebration though. I don't care what y' all saw. They fans when they score and they be in the stands.

[Zepbound Medication Announcer]

All?

[Ocho]

Who caught y' all the season?

[Uncle Joe]

I a call the name. He know he's a defensive back from Ohio State. That's all I'm g say.

[Ocho]

Oh, okay.

[Joe]

Was worse than that. Is playing for NFL team and having a fan base and let them down is one thing.

[Uncle Joe]

Let the country.

[Joe]

Yeah. Hey, but represent your country, Joe. And having one of the best players in the World cup wide open. You choose to take a shot and try to take on a player, knowing you have no space, no angle, because you hogging the goddamn ball is way worse. And you lost the game.

[Ocho]

Hey, hey, if we speak in hypotheticals, think about it. You know when Curry got hot for USA and he had Duran and Braun to his left and they were wide open. Yeah. It's just like that. If he don't make that shot, they gonna be talking crap. Like, damn, they talking crap. Hell, and he made it.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey. See what you call. You hear Steph explaining it. He say, well, I gave the cabal to KD. I thought he was gonna swing at LeBron, but KD gave it back to me. He's like, well, he gave back to me. I guess he won't. He gets me. I'm supposed to do what I'm supposed to do. Hey, what else am I supposed to do? I gave it to him. He gave it back to me. That's what AI say, right? Man, I gave it to him. He gave it back to me. Clearly, he didn't want to do nothing with it. I know what to do with it. They seen the rhythm, okay? Y' all did. Katie, you ain't want it. I got it from here.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, I'm gonna let it go from 29ft in the front, in front of Batoon and. And Fort North. Yeah, they.

[Ocho]

Hey, hey. But they knew.

[Uncle Joe]

They knew the rhythm he was in, too.

[Ocho]

They was.

[Uncle Joe]

They was looking sure. They was feeding him.

[Ocho]

He had it going. He had it going.

[Uncle Joe]

I'd have been just. Honestly, I'd have been disappointed if anybody else would have shot the ball

[Ocho]

and. But hold on. He had Braun and KD wide open to his left. I'm talking.

[Uncle Joe]

I'd have been dipped. You just said that man hadn't missed. He hadn't missed, Joe. He had missed. Okay? He missed one. Okay, now y' all do that. Do what y' all do, bro. Man, that joker, man, that joker done had got.

[Ocho]

He shot that thing to the moon, huh? Yes, Ocho, he shot that thing so high, bro. I'm like, ain't no way that's going

[Uncle Joe]

in cash, man, look here. That joke was so hot. I saw the Devil on the sideline with Flip Flops and a tank top, that's how hot he was. No, sir. Don't you pass that ball. Step. Curry told you ever. No, no, no. I don't care who the greatest shooters are. If Steph Curry get hot like that, unless the whole team on him, shoot it. You remember Jordan got that double nickel? I don't know how old you were, Joe, when Jordan got that double nickel at the Garden.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

And he had been shooting everything. And then they put four guys on him. He passed the ball down to build it. Where did. Unless it's a situation like that, shoot it, stiff.

[Ocho]

Yeah, damn.

[Uncle Joe]

Shoot it. You're the greatest shooter of all time for a reason. I believe in you. I believe in you.

[Ocho]

That's why, Brian, you know, they've been linked up. That's all I'm gonna say.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, for sure. And you see. And you see how that thing was, how that thing was, how he was passing behind his back and Steph was like. And he comes down that thing, he spin and he kicked the step in the car. Because, you know, LeBron kicked with that spin. Hey, he gonna hit that speed. Now he come down the lane, he gonna hit you with that spin.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

He either gonna lay it up, kick that thing to the corner or shelf step. They fly it. He stepped to the side.

[Zepbound Medication Announcer]

Ah.

[Uncle Joe]

Take that with you.

[Ocho]

Yeah. You know, hey, hey, at this late. At this late in his career, he don't want to have to deal with no damn double and triple teams no more, man, let me go ahead and play free and have fun, bro.

[Joe]

[Joe]

No, no, no, no. You know, uncle, you Know I love Messi. I know, I know. I play around, but France is exciting to watch. France. It's like watching the Harlem Globetrotter, Joe.

Yeah, no, they tough. You know what I mean?

[Joe]

They. They planned.

[Uncle Joe]

They.

[Joe]

They. They're playing serious because it's the World cup, but some of the players play, like at the goddamn. The goddamn Harlem Globetrotters. It's just exciting to watch.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. So France, Spain, Jerry's World. England, Argentina. Atlantic. The winner. They advanced the. What is it? Metlife now? Yeah, I think it's called Metlife.

[Ocho]

Where is it? In Jersey.

[Uncle Joe]

Jersey. Yeah. Winner take all, Joe. Winner take all. Coming down to the wild, Argentina defeated Switzerland 31 in extra time to clinch a semifinal match against England. Switzerland was forced to play with 10 men beginning the 72nd minute as Brio Ebolo, already on a yellow car, was given another after a VAR review. Stimulation. Diving, flopping. Damn, Ocho. See, they got him, Joe.

[Joe]

Hey, they gotta stop doing that. Huh? You gotta stop doing that.

[Uncle Joe]

The.

[Joe]

The Argentina player, right, and got a yellow card because dude simulated in real time. Look like the dude, he tripped him, buddy. He fell. He flopped trying to get him on a yellow car. It worked, man. They went to VAR and saw that dude didn't touch him. And knowing he's already on a yellow card.

[Uncle Joe]

You can't do that if you already got a yellow card. If you ain't got no card, try your look, pressure. Look.

[Ocho]

Hey, it's been.

[Joe]

Oscar goes back to him and he already own the yellow. So now you got to go out. You around here, bull driving.

[Uncle Joe]

Just play the game.

[Ocho]

It's been Oscar worthy flopping in this World Cup. I have no. You can't even talk about basketball, man. Oh, man, Shade is. Say that, man, what I witnessed in soccer in this world. Yeah, come on, Uncle Ojo, come on.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean, every time they got their leg broke, I'm like, man, they got air. Well, here come the ambulance. And if you're going to the other end and they still. They still on the ground, Joe, the place. Oh, yo, the place still going on that joker rolling. Oh, hey, man, get up the ball come back the other way. He pop up and get in on the action.

[Ocho]

Hey, them jokes are tired, boy. They try to get. They.

[Uncle Joe]

They think they slick.

[Ocho]

I. I done caught on to their game now, though.

[Joe]

I told you, Joe, it ain't nothing but a tactic.

[Ocho]

Yeah, they just trying to get a little rest.

[Uncle Joe]

That's it.

[Joe]

Hey, sometimes them boys get kicked and stepped on over. That jump be hurting, boy.

[Uncle Joe]

Julian Alvarez scored an Absolute stunner. To take the 21 lead. Martinez scored with seconds left. Left the ceiling at 3:1. Argentina is the first nation to reach the tournament semifinals without facing a single team ranked in the FIFA top 15. They can to make sure Messi. Get back to that thing ain't the. Yo.

[Joe]

Hey, I. I don't. Listen, I'm. I'm not one to say that. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but again, group stage, it was easy for them. Everyone they faced. Round of 32, round of 16, the quarter. It's just. Well, I don't. I don't want to say it's easy, but I mean. I mean, they haven't had a challenge just yet. Now they.

[Ocho]

Man, they. Who was that?

[Joe]

Morocco?

[Uncle Joe]

No, Egypt. Egypt.

[Joe]

Egypt was really close. If anything, that game should have been three. Three going into extra time. Maybe PKs. But yeah, I'm not gonna say nothing because he. I'm not hating on Messi.

[Ocho]

Are you scared of him? Cause you know he gonna prove you. He gonna prove you wrong.

[Joe]

I mean, he been proving the world wrong, Joe. I mean, since. Man. Shoot, who knows how long. I. I don't. I don't doubt him at all. I don't doubt him at all.

[Uncle Joe]

You should doubt it.

[Joe]

Why?

[Uncle Joe]

Because he going home.

[Joe]

Damn what Messi did to you. Cause you was all. You was all for Messi the past two weeks.

[Uncle Joe]

I want Messi to score, but I don't want them to win.

[Ocho]

Hey. Hey.

[Uncle Joe]

Okay, Ocho. They've been playing the World cup almost. So this is the 96th year they played the World Cup. Argentina is the first team in 96 years to get to the semis without playing one team ranked in the top 15.

[Ocho]

Damn.

[Uncle Joe]

96 years. So almost a century. Daniel. Conspiracy theory.

[Ocho]

Hello. Yep.

[Joe]

But it's. It's. It's facts. Huh?

[Uncle Joe]

I'm just saying. It all. I'm saying, in 96 years, they're the first team to get as far as they've gotten without playing a team ranked in the FIFA top 15.

[Joe]

Yeah. That's crazy.

[Ocho]

Oh, yeah, I know, man.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean, a whole bunch where they see. Man, I see like what you call. Everybody started rooting against Archer Tudor. They try to do everything they can to get Argentina to met life.

[Ocho]

Hey, because you know how it is once you. When you start winning too damn much. Uncle Ocho, you know how. You know how it is. They want you to lose. But I.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey. Oh. Colombian Menfield midfielder Hamilton Compa Campaz did not return home following the nation's World cup exit. He refused to Fly home after getting death threats over the World Cup's miss. Concerns for campus safety comes 32 years after Colombian defender Andreas Escobar was murdered days after scoring an own goal in the 1994 World cup that helped seals Columbia's elimination. Oh, they take that stuff serious.

[Ocho]

Oh, yeah. Oh, they take.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, they take that serious.

[Ocho]

Wow.

[Joe]

There's certain countries that don't play. They don't play.

[Uncle Joe]

Columbia's one of them.

[Joe]

Yes, they take their soccer very serious. That's why I said the kind of pressure that's on you forget represent the team. Forget, you know, represent just the fans. When you have a whole country that's backing you and relying on you to, to, to, to pull through. Especially when money's on the line because, you know, they're young, you know, they betting heavy door. No, you know that because why would you be upset? Why would you be that upset? We have to send death threats.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

The people that's responsible. That probably was responsible for this, they probably bet some big bucks. I'm talking about big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big. Damn.

[Ocho]

But that's gonna cost me my life.

[Uncle Joe]

Hell, yeah.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

What?

[Joe]

No, it happened. It happened in. What year was that, huh? They kill Escobar for her own goal. Wow, Joe. They, they had.

[Boost Mobile Announcer]

[Joe]

I mean,

[Uncle Joe]

Damn.

[Joe]

Honestly. Honestly, no one wants to think about hiv, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it.

[Joe]

Things like prep.

[Boost Mobile Announcer]

PREP stands for pre exposure prophylaxis and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
