The guy that's down below, number 85, route runner extraordinaire. Liberty City legend. Bingo. Ring of Fame honoree. The Pro Bowler, the All Pro. That's Chad Ochocinko Johnson. The guy that said the very, very bottom man. He done shout out. Cause he a Raider fan, y'all, and y'all know how that go. He ain't had a whole lot to cheer about, so hopefully he's in a better mood. He was just immortalized in the TC Man's Chinese Theater. He has a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an inductee in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame, an inductee into the Basketball hall of Fame, the CEO of the Big Three, one of the Laker. He is he a bigger Laker fan than I am. But let's. Before we get into all that Q, let's get into what we just saw. The warriors beat the Grizzlies 121, 116. Jimmy Butler 38 points. Steph Curry 37 points. And they held off a very valiant and game Memphis Grizzly team by the score of 121 to 126. This game was really, really close. So now the warriors advance. They're the seventh seed, and they take on the Rockets. That game probably will start Sunday. Q. Watching this game, what did you like about what you saw from the Warriors?
- [07:12]
Chad Ochocinco
Damn that man. I heard that Raider shot. You know, I'm the president of the Raider nation. Always remember that.
- [07:21]
Ice Cube
Okay.
- [07:22]
Chad Ochocinco
All right, now. Now getting to this game, we knew what was going to happen. It was close, but we know, you know, Stephen is, you know, the man and proved it once again, hitting big shots Big moments, Warriors advance. You know, we knew what was going to happen.
- [07:44]
Ice Cube
I thought the game would have been a lot. You know what, it'd have been interesting to see Cube or Ocho had Jon not tweaked that ankle. You know, he goes up for the shot, he comes down on the guy's ankle and he came back in the game late. But he wasn't Ja. Desmond Bane was unbelievable. He kept him close. Big threes stealing the ball, doing a lot of good things. Triple J played an outstanding game. But I just thought if JA had stayed in there would have been interesting to see. We never know. Who knows, maybe Steph goes crazy and he goes instead of 37, 38, he goes for 50. But it was a good game. It's what we expect it to be. This is the first time the warriors have actually gotten out of the play end. There had been zero or three. So now they're 14 in the, in, in the play in tournament. Oo what what you like about what you saw?
- [08:29]
Unnamed Host
Listen, I, I enjoyed the game to his fullest. I probably thought that the warriors were going to come out and, and, and be victorious in the win obviously. Playoff. Playoff. Jimmy as, as we, as he's known to be called.
- [08:39]
Ice Cube
Show up Jimmy.
- [08:40]
Unnamed Host
Play in my. Okay, you right, play, play in Jimmy. Listen, he had 21 and a half. He came, he came up and he showed out. Steph Curry did what he did, ending the game with 37. But I think the game might have been different even though it was close, if we got a jaw that wasn't injured and didn't mess up his ankle toward the end of the game. Now Desmond Bain did what he did to keep him close, but obviously Steph Curry coming in clutch towards the end of the game and it is what it is.
- [09:05]
Ice Cube
Yeah, I mean look, this is the warriors time of year. We know what they're capable of doing. It's, it's amazing to me that they haven't gotten out of the playing Cube, considering all that championship game pedigree all the time. They've been in NBA finals, they've been in Western Conference finals. They've had tough or fault ball games but for whatever reason it's hard for them to get out of the play in. If I'm not mistaken, I think they lost to the Lakers. A couple of lost to the Lakers, lost to the Grizz, but they haven't been what we thought they would be, especially when they're playing. So now they get an opportunity to, to advance. They're the number seven Seed, they take on the Houston Rockets, the second best record in the, in the Western Conference. But this is a young team that's not really battle tested. Q. How do you see this matchup shaping out between the Rockets and the Warriors?
- [09:51]
Chad Ochocinco
Well, you know, the, the warriors got that pedigree. They, they know what it takes. You know, Rockets are scrappy. You know, they defense, they all over the, the court. You know what I mean? They, yeah, running, they gunning, dunking, they shooting, they, they kind of doing it all. But, you know, they all different animal. You know, you playing the same team over and over again, they get a chance to lock in on you. You get a chance to lock in on them. And you know, in basketball, by the third game, you know all the moves they got. They know all the moves you got. And it's a will to win. And so the warriors are battle tested. They got that will to win. Even though I like the Rockets young scrap the team, I, I just think the warriors got everything it takes with Draymond and Jimmy is hungry as ever. So I, I expect the warriors to come out of that.
- [10:55]
Ice Cube
Well, you mentioned you're the, you're the, when you say the godfather of the.
- [11:00]
Chad Ochocinco
President.
- [11:03]
Ice Cube
Of the Raider Nation. So, so what are you with the Lakers? Are you the godfather? The Lakers? What are you for? The Lakers?
- [11:09]
Chad Ochocinco
Oh, man, you know, the Lakers. I mean, I haven't put, put a name on it. You know, it's something greater than love with the lake.
- [11:19]
Ice Cube
You the mayor of Lakerville.
- [11:22]
Chad Ochocinco
But, you know, I've been a big fan, man, since I was knee high to a horse fly. And so it's just really all about seeing them jail. You know, do they have enough time to jail to, to go all the way? We'll see. You know, they got a nice, a nice squad. You know, I like all, I like the size of all the role players. You know, they all damn near the same size with the same athletic ability. And so it's, it's pretty cool to see them, you know, teamed up with, with LeBron Luca and AR15 Cube.
- [12:03]
Ice Cube
Let me ask you this. Where were you when you heard the news the Lakers were trading Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic? And did you believe it when you heard it?
- [12:15]
Chad Ochocinco
I didn't believe it. You know, I was at the house and, and, and you know, I was, you know, I know my son, he had a, you know, a podcast he had to do and he was just like freaking out on the podcast. He was reading the news at the same time. And so, you know, it Was hard to believe that was true. But the Lakers always pulled the rabbits out. They had, you know, I'm like, I felt the same way when they got Shaq. You know, I felt the same way when they got.
- [12:52]
Ice Cube
LeBron.
- [12:53]
Chad Ochocinco
You know, it was like, man, how did the Lakers pull this off? Great front office. You. I never count them out, no matter, you know, what, how, you know, how the team look from year to year. You know, I never count that front office out. Even bringing AD in was, was amazing.
- [13:12]
Ice Cube
Gave up a lot to get him, but it worked out. You got a championship out of the deal.
- [13:16]
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, without a doubt.
- [13:19]
Ice Cube
Cube, you're the co founder of the Big three. Last year was your most viewed season. How do you take it to the next level? And it's being reported that Dwight Howard said, my last year playing professional basketball, I' go play it in the Big three.
- [13:33]
Chad Ochocinco
There we go. You know, st. Star power. You know, the same thing, you know, that you guys got here, star power. So that's what we bringing in the league. That's what people want to see. But also the style of play. You know, I think people love the big three because, you know, there's still a place for the big man. You know, we still defense, you know, we let them trash talk. We let players be themselves, you know, you know, not penalized personality, you know what I mean? And so I think people, you know, love that fans want that. That's what's missing in some ways in, in the other professional league. And so in the comment and do his, you know, last, you know, go around the country in the Big three, it's gonna be a fun summer. But you know, we also got other players. That's great too. So, you know, now we're in cities now, you know, we got a team in la, team in Dallas, a team in Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Boston and the DMV and Miami. So it's going to be interesting to unlock those fan bases and start to grow the Big three from that model.
- [14:56]
Ice Cube
What, what made you decide to come up with the Big three? You're sitting around, I mean, look, you're busy, you, you know, you're in Hollywood, you back to doing music. And I seen, I think now, Cube, you back more into music now than you've ever been. Maybe you've taken a break from the acting thing, from writing. I know you got it. We're gonna get this a little later. But the Friday, the last, last installment of Friday and you probably sitting down writing that you dj, DJ Pooh. But in this situation, what made you decide to come up with the big three.
- [15:25]
Chad Ochocinco
I'm a fan. And, you know, after the finals, NBA Finals, man, I would hibernate until football season started. I mean, seriously, for people who love basketball and love football, those dog days of summer just got, you know, it was just brutal. And so I knew it was a lot of fans out there like me who wanted something, a real season. Could we fit a real season into that window between the NBA Finals and the start of the regular season in football? And so, you know, there was a great window. And three on three was sitting there kind of dormant. You know, it's kind of the little cousin of five on five. And I said, you know, why haven't it been professionalized? And there was no good reasons. I looked at what FEBA was doing and I said, hey, we could do better than that to professionalize the sport. And we came up with great wrinkles like the four point circles and bring the fire and, you know, first to 50 win. No, no game clock, but the shot clock. So the games are fast, they fun, and it's what basketball should be. And so, you know, we put all the great ingredients into it, and it was a great idea and we had the connections and the people to make it come true. And hall of Famers had blessed us. George Girvin, Dr. J, Clyde Drexler, Rick Barry. You know, these guys blessed the league and said, it's something they want to be a part of. And, and so I knew if the hall of Famers was into it, I was on to something because they wouldn't get behind something that wasn't pure.
- [17:27]
Ice Cube
Yeah.
- [17:27]
Chad Ochocinco
And so, you know, that's, that's, that's the, the way it started and it really happened. After I seen Kobe's last game, I was kind of upset that I couldn't see him play no more. And I said, man, why can't he play? And then I just was like, well, maybe it's just the 82 games, because if you could score 60 points in a damn game, you can play. I don't give a damn. You know, how old you are, you know what I'm saying? You can play. So then I said, okay, well then, you know, what if it was half court? What if it was, you know, 10 weeks, you know, first of 50 win, and it was kind of a sprint and not, you know, such a long marathon or a long grind and you get a week to recover. You know, I just tried to put all the good ingredients in to make sure players were at. Was at their best. I Kind of. We kind of looked at the NFL model, you know, an important game once a week. And you know, you use the week to get your body right and you come out and you give a thousand percent.
- [18:42]
Unnamed Host
Q. What's kept you going? You think about it, right? You've had an idea, you had ideas, you had a vision. Being able to execute that vision. Big three, obviously, just coming up, coming off his most viewed season, how does it feel to watch something you created grow massively and become a cultural phenot. I mean, phenomenon?
- [19:04]
Chad Ochocinco
It's amazing. You know, it's really the beauty of our minds. You know, we can manifest, you know, everything you see around you, you know, came out the back of somebody's mind.
- [19:19]
Ice Cube
Yeah.
- [19:19]
Chad Ochocinco
And they, and they work to make it a reality. And so I think that's our purpose is to, you know, to create, to always, you know, manifest, so to speak, our ideas and our thoughts, try to make them a reality. And then, you know, in, in what I do, it's all about really making it where people can enjoy it. So you bring a, you know, a comedy like Friday out the back of your mind and then people enjoy it all over the world.
- [19:53]
Ice Cube
Yeah.
- [19:54]
Chad Ochocinco
And it's gonna be here, you know, after I'm gone, it's gonna still be here making people laugh. People gonna be enjoying that stuff. So that's what keep me going. Knowing that what I'm doing today is gonna be enjoyed tomorrow.

Every morning brings a fresh new energy. This is today. And no matter what the day holds, we come to the Today show for all of it.
- [21:53]
Chad Ochocinco
When things are tough, we talk about it.
- [21:56]
Ice Cube
When there's something to figure out, we dig into it. And when there's joy, we celebrate it. Because today is where it's all happening. We get the best start to every morning because we started together. Watch the Today show with Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin, weekdays at 7am on NBC. How, how do you come up with the Friday concept? I mean, I mean that Friday 1, that's look, we got classic. There are certain movies that's going to be in our household, in our community, that's a classic. It's hard if you say, I got five, give me your five black classics. It's hard to say life isn't in there. I would say probably Harlem Nights, Coming.
- [22:42]

You know, things like that. Penitentiary, Cuba, I don't know if you remember Penitentiary.
- [22:49]
Chad Ochocinco
I love Come on now. Yeah, man. Leon Isaac Kennedy, man. Come on. Yeah.
- [22:56]
Ice Cube
Yeah. But to come up with that idea, you said a lot of times you'd have an idea, you put pen to paper in this. And did you know when you, when you were writing this and when it came out and you finished shooting you rap because if I'm not mistaken, you finished Friday in 21 days. Correct?
- [23:14]
Chad Ochocinco
We finished shooting it in 20 days.
- [23:17]
Ice Cube
We shoot it in 20 days. Did you know it was going to do this? Did you know it would be this? 30 plus years later, people are still talking about Friday Classic.
- [23:28]
Chad Ochocinco
Well, you know, me and DJ Pooh, we make music but we laugh a lot and, and you know, we love the classics. You know, you mentioned some of them and we wanted to have one. And we was, you know, watching people like Robert Townsend, who, who he had amazing specials and Hollywood an amazing shuffled that. That's brilliant. We were saying, you know, what they was doing with A Living Color and it was like, yo, you know, it was so many hard movies coming out about our neighborhood, you know, from the hood to minister society. And we was like, yo, you know, it's hard around here. But we have, we had fun too. And we laugh a lot. So, you know, that's kind of missing in what we don't and what was being put out there. So we wanted to do a movie about the neighborhood and, and kind of turn things on their ear and laugh, you know, about some of the things that was happening instead of crying about it. And, and so, you know, when you grow up in a neighborhood like Gardens, you got. Everybody got a dark sense of humor, you know, so, yeah, easy to turn some fun, you know, something that, you know, could be considered a tragedy. You know, people figure out a way to make, to make, you know, to make light of it and laugh about it and not always cry about it. So, you know, that's, that's what we was doing. We was taking real situations that we had grew up with and, and you know, we squoze it into one movie and, and you know, we, we, we set out to make a hood classic and that's what we did. So it was mission accomplished. And. But we couldn't have got it done without people like F. Gary Gray, who this was, it was his first movie, you know, of course, you know, funny people like Chris Tucker and Bernie Mac. And you know, that's the thing, because.
- [25:42]
Ice Cube
A lot of these people, this is the first time you put, you put Chris Tucker, you put Q, you put Ronaldo Ray, you put Bernie Mac, you put Ezel. When, when you go to shoot this movie. And like we, we talked about earlier, we just saw Friday is moving forward to development. If you don't mind, can you give us a little insight? Because a lot of these, a lot of the original people that was in Friday is gone on you. D.C. curry was another comedian that's been in some more, has been in, in, in. In your movies. You like to get. Especially comedians that might not be household names. And we go back and like, man, man, Bernie Mac with the. Bernie Mac with the preacher coming over there, Ms. Parker's house.
- [26:27]
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah. You know, the thing is, to me, there's a lot of funny people out there.
- [26:33]
Ice Cube
Yes.
- [26:34]
Chad Ochocinco
And a lot of funny people came in audition for these movies. You know, some of them didn't get the parts. And that's not because they wasn't funny. It was, it was because they wasn't perfect for that character. These are still characters in a movie and we all know the neighborhood and all the different types of people that we run across. And so you want to have somebody that really embodies the character more than just a guy who can make you laugh. And so I'm looking for something, you know, a little different than most people. That's why I'm able to pick people that, you know, are not so called household names. And I could see them as these characters and able to put them in a situation where they can win. And, you know, so we're gonna do the same thing. You know, there's still a lot of you, you know, from the movie characters that's. That's here with us. You know, hopefully, you know, a lot of them want to part of the movie. We're gonna have a funny movie full of funny characters. Don't be some old characters, but it's always. It's also going to be some new characters, right? New situations.

You're going on the headline tour your truth to power four decades of attitude. This tour celebrates your 40 year legacy as a rapper, producer, filmmaker, entrepreneur and a cultural icon. It kicks off September 4th. What made you decide to say, you know what, it's time for Cuba hit the road again to her now?
- [30:08]
Chad Ochocinco
I've always been torn, you know, I've always, you know, done dates, but, you know, to do a fully production, a full production, so to speak, is something I haven't done, you know. And after being in the game for four decades, you know, it's time to really just focus on the career. You know, not only celebrate the music, but also show the influences what made me write this kind of music, you know, growing up, coming up, the events, you know, we're gonna cover the 80s, the 90s, 2000s, and you know, up until the 2000s. So it's, you know, it's just, you know, for Ice Cube fan, you know, this is, you know, a way to get closer to me as an artist, to understand me as an artist, understand some of the songs that I've done throughout my career and then jam out, you know what I mean? I got a lot of hits over these 40 years and we all that and you know, do some of the songs that, you know, sometimes I don't get to on some of these other shows, but now we going to have.
- [31:27]
Ice Cube
It.
- [31:40]
Chad Ochocinco
In the production. It's going to be cool.
- [31:44]
Ice Cube
I. I don't know, I don't hold, but I don't know which is worse, the Raiders or that Wi Fi, but they're both pretty awful.
- [31:53]
Chad Ochocinco
Man. Don't be saying it's my Wi Fi, man.
- [31:59]
Ice Cube
Who Wi Fi you think it is?
- [32:02]
Chad Ochocinco
Y'all, y'all in two different places. Y'all ain't in the same spot. It's a thousand people.
- [32:07]
Ice Cube
I know that we got. And we got no issues. You mentioned that this tour is going to be about spanning your career 40 years. You probably are part of one of the most influential, if not the most influential groups because you ushered in something. The gangster rap era. You nwa, you Dre, Eazy, the doc, Yellow. At the time when y'all put this together, did y'all realize that damn near 40 years from now that people was gonna pay, give you your due and pay you homage to what you guys had done? Did you think about that when you guys were putting this group together?
- [32:48]
Chad Ochocinco
Not at all. You know, we didn't even think about, you know, so called ushering in the gangster rap era. Because at the time when we did our music, all rappers had their own styles. It wasn't a follow the leader type of deal. It was either you create your own style or you're not gonna rise to the top. Right. So, you know, we created our own style out here on the west coast. And we had no idea that the whole rap game would start to do the kind of music we were doing, you know?
- [33:29]
Ice Cube
Yes.
- [33:30]
Chad Ochocinco
There was, you know, all kind of groups out when we first started in 19, in 85, 86, 87, 88, 80, it was so many different styles of rap, you know, from the Daisy Age to, you know, you. You had, you know, Jungle Brothers, you know, you had Fat Boys, Grandmaster, Flashing the Furious.
- [33:58]
Ice Cube
You had Big Daddy Kane, you had Cool Modi, you had LL, you had KRS1.
- [34:04]
Chad Ochocinco
You had. Had so many different flavors. Yeah. Nowhere in the world did we think once we do this, all the flavors would turn into this flavor, you know, because that was actually considered a. No, no. You couldn't bite nobody's style. And. And so, you know, it was kind of a domino effect after the music came out. But it was no way for us to say, hey, it's time for this now. Because we were fans of all that other music, too. We was fans of Big Daddy Kane and epmd. And I'm saying, yeah, you know, so we was fans on all that music. Run DMC was king.
- [34:54]
Ice Cube
Yep.
- [34:55]
Chad Ochocinco
You know, so Houdini. Yeah. You know, it was like. It was. It was a great time for hip hop, for sure.
- [35:05]
Unnamed Host
Hey, Cube, man, you. You. You are a legend, man. You're a legend. You're an icon. And when I think about. And I sit back and I think about everything you've done, which about 40 years, you know, between Hollywood Walk of Fame star, Rock and Roll hall of Fame induction, Basketball hall of Fame recognition, do any of these accolades hold a particular special place for you? And, like. Well, which one would mean the most to you? Or collectively, do all of them kind of equal the same? Are they all equally yoked?
- [35:36]
Chad Ochocinco
No. We started off in music, so Rock and Roll hall of Fame is big.
- [35:42]
Ice Cube
Yeah.
- [35:43]
Chad Ochocinco
Because.
- [35:44]
Ice Cube
Okay. That's the crescendo.
- [35:46]
Chad Ochocinco
No, that's where it all started.
- [35:48]
Unnamed Host
Yes, sir.
- [35:50]
Chad Ochocinco
The Walk of Fame is cool if they keep it clean. You gotta go up there, rub it down a little bit here and there. Yeah. And look, you know, having an award in the Basketball hall of Fame is something that, you know, you cannot even. That couldn't even be in my dreams, because I had no cause.
- [36:12]
Ice Cube
You can't hoop. Yeah. How you get in the hall of Fame?
- [36:15]
Chad Ochocinco
You know, I can around get a triple double on with you.
- [36:18]
Ice Cube
Whatever.
- [36:19]
Chad Ochocinco
Any day.
- [36:20]
Ice Cube
Whatever.
- [36:20]
Chad Ochocinco
Any day. You know what I'm saying? You know, being in that, you know, it's kind of like a pleasant surprise. But hall of Fame, you know, something every artist, you know, looks to achieve as far as recognition from the industry and the music industry. A lot of mavericks, you know, a lot of. A lot of people on their own page. So, you know, when they all come together, say, you know, you wanted all those top artists in history, you know, that means a lot.
- [37:03]
Ice Cube
You. Every year we have this. There is this. The top 30 greatest dissolves. And normally within the top five, top 10. No Vaseline. Yeah, we just had a guy had. I don't know, people saying Drake might have. Excuse me, Katie Dot might have had the greatest dis song considering who it went up against. When you look at what, you know, Vaseline, you look at hit him up. You look at Ether, you look at not like us, Sheath or Remy Ma and Nikki going at it. Where would you. Where would you rank no Vaseline as far as diss tracks and did you know it was going to. It was going to land like, I mean, it was a bullseye. They didn't just land. It was a bullseye. Perfect.
- [37:49]
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, you know, you can't take nothing from. Not like us. You know, won a Grammy is that super bowl is huge when it comes to a few. What's the most vicious feud you can get into? Vicious view you can get into is a family feud. Yeah, so when it's a family feud, I can get more vicious than that, so. Oh, yeah, just because the fact that it was a family feud and we were in close proximity and we ran in the same circles and knew the same people. No, Vaseline is hard to beat because.
- [38:33]
Ice Cube
You know, you did your thing on it now.
- [38:35]
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah. You know, this is somebody that's far away from you is one thing, but, you know, this is somebody you could run into the next day or any day is another thing. So I just, I gotta. I got. You know what I'mma say, man. Come on now, Chad, baby. You know how I go.
- [38:56]
Ice Cube
It is. Hey, it is. Hey, I ain't gonna fight you because like I said, no Vaseline hit him up with Tupac going at Biggie Classic, Nas with Ether. But you transitioned you trans, I mean, to be in the music. And not only were you at the top of the rap game, you say, you know what? I'm going to act. Not only am I going to act, I'm a write too, bro. I mean, how. What was that transition? Did you always want to be in movies? Because it seemed like you came up, you wanted to be, you know, you wanted to be a rapper. That's what it was. And next thing you know, hey, Cube on the set and doing a hell of a job at that.
- [39:34]
Chad Ochocinco
No, I never thought about movies. I was discovered by John Singleton, Rest in peace. He. He saw something in me, you know, he saw when he was writing a movie and he saw yo from the videos from my interviews that, that I could do it and, and he convinced me that I can do it and I trusted him. And in the process of making the movie, you know, John Singleton would keep, he would keep like picture frames of all his rejection letters.
- [40:15]
Ice Cube
Wow.
- [40:16]
Chad Ochocinco
He sent Boyz n the Hood the script to a lot of studios and they all rejected him for whatever reason until Columbia picked it up. But he would keep those letters saying why the movie would never work. And he kept him as motivation. One day I was in his house and he was, he asked me when was I going to write a movie. He said, he said, you'll never get another movie like Boys in the Hood unless you write it. And so that just opened my brain to. I left that day, you know, me and you know, my wife Kim, she was my girlfriend. Then we went to the Mac store and bought a computer, bought final draft, and started trying to figure out what was my, what was the script I was gonna write. And I wrote a few, you know, he helped me do it. The first two scripts wasn't that tight, but the third script, Pride, you know, third script was Friday, and me and DJ Pooh wrote that together.
- [41:29]
Ice Cube
So it took you longer to write the script than it did to film the script because you said it took you 20 days to film the whole thing. And it probably took you six months to a year to write.
- [41:37]
Chad Ochocinco
It took me a while to write it just because I was a new writer and I went to school for. So I was kind of self teaching myself the format from the other scripts that I had. And, and I didn't, you know, know a lot about structure yet. Secondary dairy stories, how to, how to, how to bring them to a conclusion, kind of, you know, first act, second act, third act, you know, the structure of movies. And, and I learned that through, you know, I got a lot of help from Pat Charbonnet, who was my manager at the time. She would help me, you know, proofreading structure, refining the character, you know, just making it more movie worthy and less amateurish. And so, you know, we came up with the movie, we had 20 days to shoot it, you know, so we shot. And it's not 20 straight days. Like it's five days a week, weekends off.
- [42:44]
Ice Cube
So it's over a month, basically.
- [42:47]
Chad Ochocinco
A month, yeah, that's dope.
- [42:50]
Ice Cube
But you know, when you shoot a movie, when you shoot a movie like that in such little time, everybody got to hit the marks. Q. Ain't a whole lot, ain't a whole lot of retakes and a whole aq, I bet. Look out of bid on sets. I've been on commercial, not a movie, but commercials. And when people, when you, when you work around that time, because a lot of times they give you two days, they bull driving around, they, there's like, okay, we'll go send you back to your trailer. But when you want a time crunch, when you say, hey, we got a month to shoot this, you come here. If you don't know your line, hey, you left behind. It's really that simple.
- [43:24]
Chad Ochocinco
Exactly. We, we replace. There's a lot of people standing around to replace you on the spot. I mean, but look, we was, we were hungry, you know, like I said, f. Gary Gray, it was his first movie. We had done a lot of videos together.
- [43:47]
Ice Cube
Yep.
- [43:48]
Chad Ochocinco
You know, I fought hard for him to, to get the movie because I thought he was ready. I thought he knew the LA culture. He grew up right there. We, we filmed it on his street as ev. Gary Gray's street that we filmed the movie on. Oh he's from the neighborhood and he knew all the nuances and so we needed somebody. I didn't want to sit there and have to teach a director. Why do we need the 6 folder drop when.
- [44:21]
Unnamed Host
When right.
- [44:22]
Chad Ochocinco
Pull up and need to understand.
- [44:24]
Ice Cube
Yes.
- [44:24]
Chad Ochocinco
I don't need to have to do all that. I need somebody who already know.

- [49:02]
Chad Ochocinco
Running back would be nice, but you know, I'm always in the defensive side of the ball because, you know, look at the quarterbacks and look at the, the people we got to go against in that division.
- [49:16]
Ice Cube
Yep.
- [49:18]
Chad Ochocinco
You know, some cats gotta go put.
- [49:19]
Ice Cube
Them on the back.

Chad Ochocinco
Yeah. You know, the guy, even the young kid that, that Denver Bo Nix. Yeah. You know, so, you know, even he, he's not bad. You know, so we, we, you know, defense is needed to stop Mahomes and, you know, stinking Chargers. So we, we, we. We need defense, man. You know, that's, that's, that's where I'm. I'm gonna go first. Secondary corners. Saf. Somebody tried to stop. Stop the horn slot.

- [50:22]
Unnamed Host

No.

Unnamed Host
I got 5200 though.

Ice Cube

- [51:02]
Chad Ochocinco
Okay, see, I ain't got nothing to do with that right there.
- [51:04]
Ice Cube
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm have to offer him Cube. I got to do something bad to him.
- [51:09]
Chad Ochocinco
Hey, man, you know you've been recorded, man. So watch what you say, man.
- [51:13]
Ice Cube
It will be recorded. This man owed me 5,200. He went by a $700,000 Lambo, a new house and furniture, and told me, hey, let me get my food, my pool done in the backyard, and then I'll pay you your money. Oh, you mean where they do that.
- [51:31]
Chad Ochocinco
At, Q. Chad, you didn't do that, yo. I mean, you can't false in front of the man when you owe him some money.
- [51:40]
Unnamed Host
I'm not. Thank you. The money. Listen, I put his 5200 to the side. I told him, download Apple pay.
- [51:46]
Ice Cube
Put it beside me. Don't put it to the. I put it this B side.
- [51:50]
Unnamed Host
He don't want to. He don't want to download no app. So I could transfer the money. He want me to bring it to him. Cash. I don't carry cash.

Unnamed Host

Chad Ochocinco
He wants you to work, man. You owe him money, man. He wants to see you work for that. Count that out.
- [52:12]
Ice Cube
He posted everything on social media. This man out there buying a new Lambo for 700 bands.
- [52:18]
Chad Ochocinco
Wow.
- [52:19]
Ice Cube
That what I. Thank you. That's exactly what I said.
- [52:22]
Unnamed Host
Wow, Cube, I be scamming, though. Don't, don't, don't. I be scamming.
- [52:28]
Chad Ochocinco
I know.
- [52:28]
Unnamed Host
So. Yeah.
- [52:31]
Ice Cube
Bright buying chrome hard jeans.
- [52:33]
Chad Ochocinco
Cube, I don't even know what that is, man.
- [52:37]
Ice Cube
They cost 10, 15 band thousand dollars for a pair of jeans. 10,000 for a pair of jeans. 15,000 for a pair of jeans.
- [52:45]
Unnamed Host
I'm too old for that kind of stuff. I'm 57 years old.
- [52:49]
Ice Cube
He'd be out here sitting on. He's smoking the cigar. Sitting on a Ferrari.
- [52:54]
Chad Ochocinco
Must be nice.
- [53:02]
Ice Cube
Thank you. Thanks for joining us, man. Appreciate it, man. Continue success. Hey, y'all, get out there and check out the tour. Cube is on tour with Heavy production. Truth to Power. Four Decades of Attitude. Ice Cube, bro. Thanks for joining us.
- [53:16]
Chad Ochocinco
Anytime. Every time, man. Much love, much respect. Take it easy. Love.
- [53:20]
Ice Cube
Appreciate it. Oh, man. Q with that bootleg, y'all know that was his Internet. I want to say that. But that is Ocho. The Magic are the number seven seed, and they will face the Boston Celtics. They took down in the 78 matchup. They took down the Hawks. As usual, the Hawks leaned heavily on Trey Young. And he was on pace to play. Damn pace to play almost the entire game. But he was ejected late in the fourth quarter. Yeah. And went to come and did a number on him.
- [53:56]
Unnamed Host
Yeah, he threw. He threw the ball a little hard at the ref. Now, it was a. It had a little. Hey, it had a little pace on it.
- [54:01]
Ice Cube
It had a little pace on it.
- [54:05]
Unnamed Host
Hey, that ref dropped that ball so goddamn fast, man, what the crap?
- [54:11]
Ice Cube
But he had, at the time, he played 40 minutes, so he was 811 or 12. He had 28 points. Didn't get a whole lot of help from anybody else. But hey, the Magic are good. Barry Carroll and Franz Wagner did not play well. It was Cole Anthony off the bench that gave him 26. Black played well off the bench. And when you get that kind of production, what they have, 42, 45, 47, 51. They got 57 points from their bench. You get 57 points on your bench, you're gonna win a lot of games. Yeah, you know, you got. Ben Carroll had 17, Wagner had 13, Wendell Carter Jr. Had 19. So they got great top end scoring, but the bench is what came in. Cole Anthony came off the bench 10 or 17, four, nine from the three. Anthony Black was six or seven from the field, three or three from the three, and that was the difference in the ball game. But it's not all lost yet.
- [55:08]
Unnamed Host
No.
- [55:09]
Ice Cube
Hawks get an opportunity at the 78 matchup. The loser gets to take on the 910 winner. Whoever wins that game, they will face the Hawks for a chance to be the number eight seed and face the Cleveland Cavaliers.
- [55:23]
Unnamed Host
That ain't pretty. That ain't.
- [55:25]
Ice Cube
That ain't.
- [55:25]
Unnamed Host
That ain't gonna be pretty at all.
- [55:28]
Ice Cube
No, it's gonna be a good game. I like Orlando. Orlando, Orlando. Better than people think. I know. If you're not with, oh, Trey Young throwing the ball and then he. Then he. When they teed him up, he had the ball. He dribbled and spiked it, didn't he? What'd he do? Hey, boy.
- [55:50]
Unnamed Host
He. He's funny, man. He is funny.
- [55:53]
Ice Cube
I don't think we did eject him for that.
- [56:01]
Unnamed Host
And you eject him for throwing that goddamn. Throwing the ball too hard.
- [56:04]
Ice Cube
He throwed a little hard. He threw a little hard. Oh, he did. Oh. There's been one constant during the entire. Luka Doncic trade fiasco is that Nico Harrison and the Mavs continue to make some worst PR decision imaginable. Nico said he has no regret in the Luca trade. When you look at this trade, we targeted AD with our philosophy of defense wins championships. We wanted a two way player that could lead our team and that was Anthony Davis. Everyone's going to have the criticism and I'm not sure what Mark Cuban said but that's a better question left for him. But we got what we wanted. My obligation is to the Dallas Mavericks is what's best interest of the Dallas Mavericks and that's what's the most important thing. Some of these decisions are going to be unpopular, maybe to Durkin, maybe to some fans, but my obligation is to the Dallas Mavericks.
- [56:58]
Unnamed Host
Is he trolling at this point?
- [57:01]
Ice Cube
No. But as you stop talking about it.
- [57:04]
Unnamed Host
He'S making it worse. I'm not sure what his angle is. I'm not sure what it is. For the betterment of the future of the Dallas Mavericks, you want to make the right decisions long term. Letting Luka Doncic go to the Lakers is not making the right decision by the fans or the Dallas Mavericks owners organization. Now I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with AD but I mean look, when you talk about longevity and wanting to keep your job based on the decisions that you make for the betterment of the team, it would have been keeping Luka there.

But that's not his. But at the end of the day that's not his call. That's ownership's call. And the Dumont family said okay, Mark Cuban just tweeted. What did he tweet?

I guarantee you Dirk is a Dallas is the Dallas Maverick dead nine forever. No one should ever forget that. That statue will forever will will be here forever. Loyalty never fades. Tomorrow night 15 guys will put on a Mavericks uniform and they'll do everything they can to win for themselves, each other and the fans. Our squad busted their you know what fight through incredible adversity. They have my respect and support, should have everyone's. I'm a Mavs fan. I'll always love and cheer for everyone who puts on our uniform tomorrow night. And however many games we have left in this season and ever in the future, whether I'm in the stands or in front of the TV or following every play online, my heart and soul is committed to rooting for our Mavs to win. That will never change. I know fans are upset, but don't be upset at the players. Support them, root for them. Rally behind them. I don't know what. Mm. What is that? Okay, well, what I said, Mavs fans for life. Hashtag Mavs fan for life.

Man, that was. That was so PC. I thought he, I thought he gave some, you know, truth on. Based on the decisions that was made.

He called. He called. He's upset cause Nico called out Dirk. Maybe Dirk is upset. Maybe the fans are upset. And he's looking at like, bro, if you're a part of the, you know, Durk ages is kind of like. Ocho. It's kind of like if you were to call out somebody from Cincinnati. Yes, sir. Or when I call out somebody from the Broncos or the Ravens, it's a little different. We played there. People still remember, you know, your number 85 is up, my number 84 is up. People remember what I did in Baltimore. So it's a little different when it comes to. And somebody else criticizing a guy that played here.

Like you said, Dirk is a legend, right? 20, 20. 20 what? Dirt play 20 seasons. 20 seasons or 21? 20 season. Same uniform, never left. Have an opportunity to land, get. Get bigger paydays. He said, no, this is my home. And so Nico, my recommendation 21. My, my, my. Yes, Ocho, just let it go. Fans are going to be upset. Fans are going to be upset. And especially because it's still so fresh.

Let time, Let time pass and you know, you'll be okay. But don't mention anymore. You're not going. You can't. You're not going to make these people, these fans forget. And no matter how much you say you wanted Anthony Davis, you targeted Anthony Davis. And we want to be a two way team, defense, win championships. Fans ain't really trying to hear that.

Man, you gave a guy away when you traded a guy that was theirs. He came here at 18. Dallas was all he knew. Yeah, those fans, Luca is all they knew. And now they don't have him anymore. And.

I don't care nothing about all that other stuff. And you say at some point the fans will forget. They will never forget. Because it's the type of player that the Lakers got. They understand. Luca will always remind them, Dallas, Nico Collins and the owners on what they did based on his play in la. And they're going to always resent that because he going to be the superstar that they had. He going to always remind them, this is what you let go every single.

Year, in every game that he had. Like he had that game. When he went back, he dropped 45 acting a fool. That should have been that she should have been dropping that 45 on the Lakers for us. You saw the other night, he had 39 against the Houston, I think the Rockets, and he didn't play the fourth quarter. So when you see him go off of those type performances, you're like, what are we doing? And A.D. look, A.D. is a phenomenal player. A.D. is an all 75 player. He's been an all NBA selection. He's been an all star. He's been an All Star game mvp. He's won a title. He's not fettuccine, but he's not Luca, not the volume.
