Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Joe, this is right up your alley. Anthony F. Edwards was clearly frustrated by the team's performance tonight. They lost 126, 102 to the Atlanta Hawks after head coach Chris Finch pull Wolf starter and left the bench. Went to the locker room with a little under eight minutes left in the game. The Hawks led at the time was 109 to 80. Finch called timeout after the called called him out after the game. Said obviously frustrated with the performance and rightfully so, but he needs to stay on the floor and root for his team. Today's game continued a frustrating stretch for the Wolves, who have lost three of their four games despite Ant man averaging 31.3 during that stretch. Minnesota sitting 21 and 13 this year, in sixth place in the west, according to ESPN. Ant man, an Atlanta native who played college ball at Georgia, had a number of old friends and family at tonight's game, including his grandfather. Damn, I get all that, bro. You down 30, Joe. You ain't coming back with eight minutes to go down. You ain't coming back.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
But you know, you got to control your emotions, bro. But I'm.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I'm.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
No, I'm saying that's why Finch took him out. Yeah, yeah, I get what you go ahead.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
But my thing is, here's what Ant man thinking. He thinking, man, I'm back home at the crib. I'm finna come out and show out. Cause he was ballin'. He was ballin'. He the only one was ballin'. The rest of them dudes act like they didn't even know they had a game. And I think, you know, he thinking to himself, man, I got all my people out here. Y' all come out, we put on this lackluster performance in front of my folks out here. Yeah, he got a little beside himself. He was pissed off, I could tell. But I thought his play was pretty good. Uncle Ocho, he was balling. He had 30, I think, like in the third quarter. Like they couldn't stop him. But nobody else was giving him anything on his team. Plus, the Hawks were, man, they was hitting on all cylinders. Ocho, they weren't missing. They moving that basketball, everybody touching it.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Didn't they have like 20 something threes?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Joe, here's. Here's the thing, because I've been hearing a lot of the rumblings about Trae Young, and when he's came back, you know, how the Hawks haven't been playing great. You can't game plan for the guys who's out there. Now, when Trey is not out there, it's hard to game plan for those guys. You know what I mean? Like, when Trey is out there, he's such a focal point of the offense that, you know, you put so much attention on him that, you know, I think it kind of creates a little havoc or whatnot throughout the team. But I think when Trey doesn't play, everybody just kind of plays freely. Nobody's really getting double team, triple team. Jalen Johnson has been spectacular throughout this.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Where the hell did he come from, Joe?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
He got hurt last year. He would have been an all star last year, but he got hurt this year. They got him in places on the court to where he's so effective. But he's the prototypical forward in today's game of basketball. I mean, he could do everything. He could shoot the 3, he rebound block shots, play defense. He can playmate. He has no weakness. And you can tell, look, if you look at the month of, I think December, he averaged a triple double in this whole month of December.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He been, he been balling.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
He's been balling.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He had 34 to nine on 15 to 22, three or six from the free three point line, one on one from the free throw line, 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
He's balling, man.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
But ant man, you said Joe, ant man had 30. He 10 of 18, 3 of 8 from 3, 7 of 8 from the free throw line. He played 33 minutes, man.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Listen, can you imagine, Unc, if you was playing, if you was playing and y' all came out here and you playing against the Falcons, Unc, you got, you know, you out here doing your thing, but y' all getting blew out and you got your whole family and friends out. Like, man, I, I totally un.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, I cut up on the Falcons. Yeah, we went down there 97. No, the devil went down to Georgia. You're looking for a soda steal. I did a number on them. I hit him up. I hit him up on show for like five for a buckle. A buckle. Three of the tub, 64 yards, second play of the game, third play of the game.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Come home and show up and show out.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, Yeah, I had 20 tickets. I haven't spent that. But they got to see me show up.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Like it didn't hit, you know.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
It just, it just wasn't a game, man. The Hawks was hitting on all cylinders and you know, I know he probably was like, man, we got to come out here and get a win. And it just didn't happen that way. They actually got embarrassed.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I mean, the 24. But the game really wasn't that close.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
It wasn't.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
It wasn't that close, Joe, at all.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, speaking of basketball, you know, I'm. I'm down here in the Bahamas, right?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yeah.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I'm at the cigar bar at Baja Mar, right?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I'm sitting there.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I'm sitting there with the Mrs. Sitting there smoking my cigar, and I'm looking down on my phone and I see somebody sitting in front of me. I can see him on my peripheral. He said, what's up, Ocho? And, you know, I only really look. I say, hey, how you doing? Happy New Year, sir. You say, oh, so this is John. I look up and goddamn, John. Stars, man.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)

Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
The Hawks oh Joe. The Hawks may look to trade Trey Young this season before he makes the decision on his 2026 player option. But that's if there's a trade market for him. An anonymous exec. It's hard to think that a team trying to win this season, that Trey would help. Especially when you factor in what the team would be losing from players you would have to send back as matching salaries. He doesn't defend, he doesn't rebound, and guys hate playing with him. Damn. NBA insider Mark Stein also reported there is a growing belief league wide that the Hawks are more open a trading trade away than they've ever been. But it doesn't seem like there's interest that's being met with a bidding war. Joe, you're in Atlanta. You know this team. You play with this team for a number of years. Can you see a scenario in which the Hawks do induce d in fact trade Trey Young?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I don't see. I don't see them. I don't see them trading them. Oo I think that I can see them playing it out. I think me personally, yep, we got guys on the squad. When Trey's not playing, we can win some games. But man, if you talking about winning a playoff series or advancing trying to get to a finals, just to even get close, you gonna need a game changer like Trey. I know we got Jalen Johnson, but you gonna need two guys, man. Y' all know in this game, bro, you need at least two or three guys to be able to get you over the hump. So I think with him spraying his McLaren, you know, early in this season, you know, obviously it's taking him a little while to kind of get back in ref form. I think offensively he's been playing pretty great. The wins just hasn't been there when he's been playing as of late. But if you ask me, I don't think they should trade him right now. I think they got to fine tune on what they have. The east isn't that tough. It is a few teams that's pretty good, but I think the Hawks still have a pretty good chance. You have to be clicking at the right time. And you got to hope when March and April come around, you know, you playing high level basketball.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
You know, the worst thing that can happen, Joe, and you know this firsthand, Ocho, is that getting hurt and the team get an opportunity to look at other guys is Jalen Johnson, because Trey's going to demand the ball. Gonna, gonna command the ball. Yes. Jalen Johnson, this. Are we going to see Nikhil Alexander Walker do what he does. So now him being removed, Joe, other guys Got an opportunity. Jalen Johnson's gonna be an all star. There's like. And he's six, seven, six, eight. You is hard to win with a six foot two. Unless you're Steph Curry, who's transcendent. Isaiah. But more times than not, you gotta be a big guard. You gotta be Kobe, you gotta be Michael Jordan. As great as Allen Iverson was, he couldn't get them over. You gotta be a big guard. And he's not. I don't know if he's six foot, so. And the thing is, like they said, well, he doesn't rebound, he doesn't play defense. And we're seeing that happen to Luca. Luca, 6, 7. But it's like his feet nailed to the floor.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
So while he might light you up on other. What happens. See, the problem is, is that when Luca has an off night, his guy is never gonna have an off night because he can always get to the ball, get to the rim on Luca. Same thing with Trey. Trey is so small and he doesn't play defense. He's not a pesky. You know, sometimes guys are small, Joe. They're pesky defenders like Caruso.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
You're right.
Shipt Spokesperson
And.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
And Gia Caruso, like six, five. He is, yeah.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Why he looks so small on tv?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Cause everybody else. Six, eight, six, nine, six, seven foot. Hey, but.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
But it goes back. It goes back to what I was saying, Ocho. When Trey's on the floor, you know, he's game playing for. He's in the scouting report. People are gonna try to go at him when he's not in the lineup. It's. It's harder to game plan for the Atlanta Hawks because you really don't know who gonna beat you outside of Jalen Johnson. Yeah, he gonna do his thing, but outside of him, you really don't know who gonna be right. So they have a multitude of dudes who stepping up, man, and just playing high level basketball at this point. Right. So. Yeah, it's tough. It's unfortunate.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Man.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Man. Hey, Joe. Hey. I don't. I don't like the part where they say and players don't want to play with him. Where they come up with that? Where they get that from?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I don't know, man. I don't know, Joe. I don't know where they get it.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
From, but they be trying to. Hey, as a matter of fact, excuse me for a minute. Happy New Year, y'.

Right.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
How you gonna go to the single? Hey, hey, hey, man. Hey. I'm just gonna. See, I'm just cheering Joel at the blackjack table. Sooner or later, I'm gonna go in my pocket and put some money down. Hey, I want to get some of this action, too.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Well, you got to think about it, you know, to give you better context and give you better perspective. If you're an addict and you're a drinker, right? And. And. And you got to stay out the bar with a whole goddamn plate. All of Houston is the bar.

Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Draymond wants Adam Silver to find a way to put LeBron in the All Star Game. I know a lot of people like, oh, man, he should be an All Star.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Shut up.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yes, he should. He's been in the face of the NBA for 20 years. Figured out. And the first fan vote, Lamar LeBron is ninth in voting in the West. You know, he missed the first month of the season.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
We'll see the next. What is the next vote?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, hold up, though.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
When they.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
They implement them rules to where you have to play, what, 65 games? LeBron, he. He can't.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
He.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
He can't play 65.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He can't. Wait. He close. He can't. He might not be eligible to win any awards. All NBA mvp, things like that. See, yo gonna run into that problem and see it now. You look at the rule. I see. I said, but. No, but y' all was. Y' all was loafing. Y' all was low, managing and missing all those games. Now somebody that's legitimately injured is gonna miss out on the MVP because of the rule when y' all majorly messed it up.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah. Huh?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
January 7th. So they got a new January 7th, which is a Wednesday. A week from. Yeah, a week from Wednesday.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
A week from today. Today is Wednesday. You and you on the West Coast. I don't know why you trying to come back. Like, you on the east coast, you right here on the west. It is 9:12 west coast time. Luca is the leading boat getter. Nicola Jokic is second in the West. Steph Curry is third. Shay Gilgames is fourth. Vic. Women. Yami. Ant man. Wow. The Portland guys in front of LeBron and KD. I do thank LeBron. The second vote. I think LeBron will probably be in the top five. Thinking and in the east is Giannis Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brunson, K. Cunningham, Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Brown, Carl Anthony Towns, Jalen Johnson, Pascal siakam, Michael Porter, Jr. They round out the top 10.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I don't think Brian. I'm gonna be honest with y'.
CarMax Representative
All.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I don't think Brian really cared about playing an All Star game. If y' all just want me to be 100. I think he wants to do whatever he can for the Lakers to make a. A nice playoff run.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yeah, not with that defense. They ain't making nothing.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I mean, they probably got to make a few changes on, but I'm sure he'd much rather go deep into the playoffs versus I don't think he really cares about playing an All Star Game, but, you know, from a fan's perspective, I can. I can understand and see why, you know, people would want to see him in the All Star Game. He's done so much for the game, man. He's. He's been. Yeah, I mean, he's been unbelievable.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Well, good luck to the guy. I mean, look, he'd been 21 straight times. 21 start. 21. 21 times starting. So good luck to somebody breaking that record. When we got hurt tonight, we'll see the extent of that injury. Nicola Jokic is injured. He's gonna miss. They say they'll reevaluate him in a month. We'll see how that plays out. So he could. He could rise. He could easily rise up the rankings, and we'll see how that goes. Probably. If he. If this was his last year, if he told Adam Silver this wasn't last year, oh, he gonna be an All Star Game, it'd be just like the D. Wade situation.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
So that's where we are on that. I. I don't. Look, he's averaging. What's he averaging now? What do you have? About 19.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I think he had about.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I think he's a little. I think he's about 19, 20.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
About like 22, huh? I think he had about like 20 point, 3.3. Okay, man, listen, for this to be his, what, 21st season?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
23Rd.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
He's gonna turn 41.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yo, he turned 41 yesterday.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
That's impressive, bro. That's impressive.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Very. And if he was somewhere where he had the ball in his hand, oh, he'd average 24, 25 again. But he's off the ball now, so he doesn't have the ball as much as Luca. He doesn't have the ball because he can play off the ball now. He's not as. It's not his strong suit. Yeah, yeah, but Luca can't play off the ball. Luca gotta have the ball in his hand in order to be effective.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
And I think.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
But I think instead of just sticking LeBron in the corner, I think he and Lucas should play more picky role. Sticking LeBron in the corner. That ain't that in it.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
That ain't what I think what happened when he came back, because, you know, he missed the start of the season, and Luka and AR was so hot. They was hot as fish grease to start the Season, he didn't want to mess that up. So that's why he came out. You can see he had the one game where he didn't score 10 points, but for the most part, he came out as a facilitator. He was just trying to keep everything copacetic. I'm going to keep letting y' all be the superstars that y' all been this whole season and I'mma just fit in with the guys. I enjoy watching that part. But I think what has happened is it got him out of rhythm. You know, he's a really good timing guy. So if I'm out here, facility, he is absolutely. If I'm out here facilitating for three, three straight quarters, then on the fourth quarter get here, it's kind of, you know, it's a little hard for me to kind of get into my bag, you know what I mean? And I think that's kind of what he's dealt with to kind of start the season. Anyway, when he first came back, because he was facilitating so much, he wasn't in no rhythm offensively.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I agree, I agree. So it's going to be interesting. The only way he'll get it, he'll be get a special invite through Adam Silver. I don't know if he'll be, because if the top, they just take the top five guys now. So it might be five. So right now, as it says, it'll be Luca Nicola, Nicola, Steph Curry, Shay Gilgis and Victor Womenyama. That would be your starters. And then the easy be Yanis Tyrese, Maxey, Jalen Brunson, Kay Cunningham and Donovan McNabb. So one team would have three guards and two bigs and the other team will have one big and four and four guards.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
So it'd be Giannis, Tyrese Maxey, Jayla Brunson Cunningham and Donovan Mitchell against Luca. But remember this year, Ocho and Joe, they splitting it up.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
So it's gonna be three divided up and like the, the Europe, the European, the world take on the Americans. So I don't know how this thing will go, but it's not going to be a typical East West All Star game, which I think they should probably go back and start doing. A typical East west all star game. Yeah. Following the Lakers loss to The Pistons yesterday, LeBron was asked what advice would he give an 18 year old self. It's a lot, a lot of advice I would give him. I would just say keep the main thing. The main thing, work hard. There's no substitute for hard work. I think Hard work and dedication, if you want to be great, gonna pay off. Keep the blinders on. As much as you. As much as they praise you, even. It's even triple, quadruple people trying to bring you down, which is absolutely true, and they want to tear you down every single day. Protect your family, protect your mental space. It's a lot more. But that just goes to have fun and enjoy the ride. Because you never know when it comes to an end. It goes fast.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Very fast.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He's the most. He's the most loved player. He's the most talked about, but he's also the most vilified. And he understands that. He understands that. No matter what he does, LeBron could have won 10 championships. And he was never going to be loved like Jordan. He was never going to be beloved like Kobe. It is what it is.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, man.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Ain't nothing you can do about that. Just play your best. I don't know if you actually came into the game to be loved. You came to be the best you could possibly be. And then you willing to let the chips fall where you may, but Jordan just got such a head start. And he had the shoes, he had all those commercials. Yeah, Kobe, the same thing. He was 17 year old and he grew up, they watched the kid become a man, become a father, become a husband right before their eyes. Maybe if he could have accomplished everything he accomplished in Cleveland, maybe because Jordan. All the Jordan accolades came from Chicago. All the Kobe accolades came from the Lakers, LeBron. Some came from Cleveland, some came from Miami, some came from Cleveland. Again, some came from the Lakers.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
You saying that's why some people. Some people give him a little knock because he had. He traveled around. Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yep.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
But he's.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
But if he'd had a Jerry Krause or if he had a Jerry west that could put a team together, he wouldn't have left. But. And plus, now they've made ring culture. It didn't used to be like that, Ojo. Yeah, Joe. So guys were willing to stay, but now you call me a bum. If I ain't got no ring, I'm going to get that ring. And then what y' all say, and then y' all poop on me when I get a ring. Like Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant says, I do not want to be the best player without a ring. Because that y'. All. That was a title y' all bestowed. Carl Malone, that's the title y' all bestowed bestowed upon Charles Barkley. I don't want that moniker. And then they beat him up they said he didn't have a ring, he go get a rain. But you took the cheap way out.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Can't win.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He can't win for losing.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Can't win.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Kobe had Jerry West. Michael Jordan had Jerry Krause. So LeBron says, if I'd have had somebody as competent as those guys, guys that are in the hall of Fame. Jerry west is in the hall of Fame as a. As a player and a general manager, well, I probably would stay. I would have stayed. Probably would have stayed if I could have got somebody to come to Cleveland. It's hard to get somebody to come to Cleveland. That's not New York, that's not Miami, that's not la. Yanis is finding out that the hard way. Remember, y' all say, oh, I want to go join nobody. And then the thing that I don't like about Giannis, he talking about, that's between my agent. The agent works at the behest of the player. You see how he's trying to absolve himself, Joe? Yeah, but my agent, whatever conversation my agent is having, that's the conversation he's having. Really honest. You really expect us to believe that that agent is not working at the behest of you? Everybody don't want that. LeBron took. LeBron did what he did so everybody else could run. Kevin Durant could run the Golden State. Everybody else could do what they did. He took all those arrows. He was the first big, big main to move nice.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
It ain't nothing now, ring, coach.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Because you tell me I'm a bum if I ain't got no ring. I can average 30. I'm a first team all NBA selection for seven, eight, nine years, Joe. I've gone to the all star game 12, 13 times. But I'm a bum because I ain't got no ring. Some guy that just happened to be on the team, he the fourth guy on the team. He starts, but he's the fourth guy. He got a ring. And you said he better than me.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, that's how I go, man.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
That's how it is, bro. Good news first fans. Victor Wimanyama lived off the court in the fourth quarter of tonight's 134, 124, 32 win. Over the next after his left knee buckled as he tried to secure a rebound under the basket. Wimby said afterward he suffered a hyperextension and the initial test did not reveal any other issues. He said he would not have more testing done. He said he would have more testing done on Thursday. I'm very Confident. I was this close to coming back in the game. They had to hold me back. It was just what a hyperextension. So it should be minimal. We've got to do everything tomorrow to check. That's everything, that everything's okay. We'll be added. I expect to be back next game. He did Ocho Joe. He's all Ocho Joe because he's so tall. He's gonna have issues. Yeah, you're gonna have issues. I mean, he's 7 4. His quads are only so big. They're gonna only be able to, to take those shock absorbers. It's only going to be able to take so much pressure off of his joints.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
You know, hyperextension ain't. It ain't that bad. I know when you do hyperstinian knee, I hate that spaghetti feeling. It feels like it's not together. And you're really cautious, you know, but give them a few days, maybe a week or so.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, it'd be, man, listen, ocho, ocho the man. 75, man, all legs like. So I, I, I think this is something that, that you definitely got to worry about. I mean, this ain't no normal person like you at six one, six two.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, Joe, I'm six three. Joe, don't do that, all right?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
You say my bad, you six three. Yeah, okay. My bad, my bad. So, you know, your bounce back is a lot different for somebody who's 7 5, you feel what I'm saying? So, yeah, I think the spurs need to take, you know, precautionary with this, man. Don't rush, big fella, because see what, what's been happening, Our stars in the NBA, bro, getting hurt and it's killing the game. Yeah, game, bro. We, you know, we, we, we want to see the best out there competing on a night, night to night basis. And you know, when your best players get hurt. Look, Yoki's gonna be out for a month. I love watching jokers play out there killing them boys. Boy can't jump over a phone book.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
You hear me, man?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I'm talking about he's the mvp, right?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He's the mvp, but he's not gonna be able to win it because he's gonna, he's not gonna be able to make the get the quote of the game.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
That's what I'm saying. It's hurting. It's killing the game, bro. It's killing the game. I hate, I hate that for you because it didn't even look like nothing really happened to him.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He got, somebody stepped on me like he. He hyperextended his knee. He dodged the bullet for sure. He dodged the bullet for sure. But I'm glad to see Wimby's okay. Everything checks. It look like it's going to check out and he's gonna be fine. He's gonna be able to go the next game or at least the sex. Ocho Joe Burrow discussed the mindset when facing miles Garrett and Weed 18. As Garrett closed in on the NFL sack record. Burrow said, I'm certainly not going to overcompensate either way. I'm not going to go out of my way to not let him get the record and I'm not going to go out of my way to let him get the record. Either way, I'm going to play football.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
There's going to be a situation that a sack is the best of the bad outcomes of that play and maybe I take one. There's going to be other situations that I'm about to get sacked and I need to throw it away in that situation. I love his mindset.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, I like it too.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Huh?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I like it too. But obviously the person that need to be asking that question to is the offensive line. That's should have been asked to. Obviously reporters don't want to go there. They probably don't want to ask that to them. But listen, I was. I was very hesitant in saying I don't want Miles Garrett to get the sack record, you know, against the Bengals. But the fact that I'm gonna be at the game and I asked him for the jersey that he gets a second sack record with, I'm gonna allow him to get one sack. I'm going to allow him to get one sack. But now I'll be in the building, Joe, to be able to collect that jersey I asked for. So you know what? Congratulations.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
You do realize hall of Fame gonna be on the hand too often.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I can tell you what, I tell you what. There's one thing is it. Listen, Miles, Gary could do two things. He can get the sack record on Sunday and he can give that jersey to the hall of Fame after you already promised me, or you can get that sack record and hand the jersey over to me like I asked, like he promised me first. So two things can happen. You get a hand to me and go ahead and live your life after making history or you can get your ass.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I think he gonna take the second one. I think he going to.
Vizio Spokesperson
Yeah.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I would hate. Hey, Joe. Hey. Hey, Joe. I would hate to have to beat the up out of Miles Garrett for choosing to give that damn jersey after I already asked for it. I would hate. I would hate to do that. That's my book.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
That's going down in history, man. That.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
That.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Man, get that sack record. You think you finna get that jersey?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, Joe. I asked for it, Joe, man. I asked for it. I'm telling you, Joe, I think you.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Get two sacks on Sunday.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I said one. I. We'll give him one. We'll give him one, huh? We gonna give him two.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I think he breaks the record. A two bracelet.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah. Oh, two breaks it. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
One breaks it.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Breaks it.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He has 22. Want to give him 23? The record is 22 and a half.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Joe. Hey, he can give him another jersey. Let them put that in there. But give. Give me the original one. I want to frame it. I want to put it up in my game room.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
No, they're gonna take that one because that. That's the jersey gonna have the dirt on it. That's. The jury's gonna have the stains on it.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Worry about it. They could put some most. They could put some stains on the other one. Ain't it Ain't nothing to go outside and rub that. Rub that goddamn.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Well, they got to be trouble. They got some people's guests or people got some.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Hold on, hold on. So. So he can't keep his jersey for himself.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He can if he want to, but the hall of Fame is going to request it, and it's an honor to have that jersey in the hall of Fame. That's why a lot of the Tom Tom stuff is in the hall.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
And it's an honor. It's an honor for Ocho to have the jersey, too.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
No, because it's gonna probably end up at somebody auction house with Ocho again.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
That ain't gonna happen because it's gonna be no reason for me.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, you ain't gonna be here forever.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Okay.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Like my kids, what. What they do, what I do with it, how I cherish it. That don't mean they gonna cherish it the same way, man.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Oh, my God.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, I know. Listen, I. I love Miles Gary, man.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Miles.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
He. He promised me. And one thing, one thing, one thing about a man. All we have is our word. If you promise me that jersey and you choose not to give it to me, two things gonna happen. Karma and Imma beat your ass.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Well, I'm sure he's like, if I get that sack record, whatever karma comes with that. I mean, because he's so young and he's so far ahead of the pace. Yeah. There's a chance he can get Bruce's record of 200 sacks. Two hundred and a half sacks, or 202, whatever that case may be. There's a chance. Miles Garrett, I mean, he got a. How many sacks? Miles got 120. He's way ahead of the pace. I mean, he's blistering.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Now, the problem is the sack didn't become official stat until 1982. They were sacking a quarterback in the 30s, 40s and 50. He got 124 and a half. He's not even 10 years in the league. What is the eighth is the eighth year. He. Nine years in the league, so he's averaging 12 and a half, 13 sacks a season.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Damn, that's crazy.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
What did Brucey play 20? 19. Bruce came in at 85. Bruce came in at 85 and he left it. Oh, I think he left it. Oh. Oh, three. So Bruce prayed 19.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Man. Get miles Garrett up out of there, man. Reggie played.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I think Reggie played like 16 or 17 and got 198 and a half.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Joe, where you wanting to go, Joe?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Man, come Ocho, I wanna.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
And don't say Dallas.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Why not?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
See?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yeah.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Can he get out to the quarterback? Hell yeah, he can.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Hell, yeah. He one of the best to do it. One of the best to ever do.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Get him up out of there, man. Let him go play some meaningful football now.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I like. I like the way it sound.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I think he might be two or three years away from that.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
You think so?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I don't think Cleveland just read. I don't think Cleveland's ready to give him up just yet.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
How many years he in on that deal? I know he got a big deal. How many years?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He. He signed a four year deal, but he had two years left, so he got another five years on it.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, I know one thing, Joe. He might not see them years. He only give me that goddamn jersey. I tell you that.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Oh, so you can cancel that, brother.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, hey. It's gonna be some things canceling gonna be me.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
But the problem is, Ocho, I mean, Joe, is that they got. They got a lot of, you know, it's gonna be a lot of suitors. Now, the Cowboys do have the capital because they got two first rounds next year and they got another two first rounders the year after.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
So they got the. They got the arsenal to go get him.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
If Cleveland's willing to let him go.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
And this would be the. This would be the good time to let him Go, Unc. If the Cleveland Browns are serious about building something, because they can get the most value for him right now, not later. You can get the most value, the. The most pieces form if you're serious about building and changing the culture over there in Cleveland, because you didn't win with him. You didn't win with him. So you know what you need to do. You know what you need.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
He can really help some team.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
One.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, big time.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Man. Look at this. Michael Irving took his belt off. Crazy.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
He was whooping. He was whooping the trash can.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yeah, man, that dude.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, Ojo, why you ain't go to, um. Why you ain't go to University of Miami?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
What? Joanne.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
With that joke of grades. Joe. He couldn't get a prison with them grades.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Joe. I ain't had no grades to go there. Joe. Joe. I couldn't even get in the goddamn famu.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Joe.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Joe. He couldn't get in prison with them grades.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. Wasn't high school, but I was a knucklehead, Joe. And I'm not talking about the knucklehead like, you know, in the street or just. Joe, I wasn't going to come to school.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
When you want to leave when you want to.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
All right, Joe. Hey, Joe. I went to school on Miami Beach, Joe. Miami beach.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
In a high.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I was on south beach for high school. That's why my grandma ain't want me in the inner city where I grew up going to school with them boys. It would. It would have even. It would have been even worse. So if I ain't do right over there, you know, with them folk, imagine me in the city with all my homeboys. Joe. I was bad.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
If you get Chad. If you get an opportunity to party with one guy in your lifetime, let it be Mike. If you get an opportunity to party with any athlete, any superstar, any podcaster, any person, let it be Mike.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
It go hard like that, huh?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Let it be Mike.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
He be having fun.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Let it be Mike. Mike is the greatest. Mike is the greatest. One day I'm going to tell y' all the story. How Mike and I stole Gary Sheffield Winnebago. I started bringing that up during the interview. Oo, right. But Mike and I stole Gary Sheffield Winnebago at the super bowl in Atlanta back in 99. I believe in that. What a time. What a time, what a time. I think he breaks the record, though, Ocho. You think he gets the record? You said he does get the record, Joe. You think he gets the record?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I know, I know. I Know, I see him talking, you know, trying to support my team, but Miles Garrett is probably. He wasn't able to get it last week. I'm not sure the Bengals will go away from doing what the Steelers did, where they were so worried about him getting the record. They didn't even. They weren't able to play their game offensively.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Exactly.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
It took away from the. Them offensively.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
So, yeah, you doing. I mean, you running booze and you running rollout. You got the guys chipping and they can't get in routes real quick. People like why Gary Sheffield had a Winnebago Super Bowl. I'm like, hey, what up, Shelby? Like, hey, what up, Shelby? How you doing, Mike? I'm like, mike, yeah, what up? You know how Mike is. You know, Mike. Mike animated. What you doing? Sharp. I want whatever you own. Let's just say Sheffield went a. We took the Winnebago. I called a cab to come get me the next morning. I couldn't drive to Winnebago. I could try to Winnebago home. Lord have mercy. Boy might go hard in the paint. Boy. Hey, that was a great time. A great time was had. Chat. Great time was had. Y' all know that Dan Landing continues his crusade this week against the current College Football Playoff schedule. There's clearly a better way. Every playoff game should be played every single weekend until you finish the season. The season needs to end January 1st. We've given up some of our days to the NFL. Saturday should be sacred for college football. Every Saturday through the month of December should belong to college football, in my opinion. Lanning also said earlier this week that he believes all game leading up to the Natty should be played at the higher seed stadium, effectively calling for the end of bowl games. Man, since the College Football Playoff, I would be honest. Joe Ocho. Yeah. I only watch the bowl games no more.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
No, no.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, we used to look forward to the bowl games. Meant something. The Orange bowl, the Sugar bowl, the Peach bowl, the Blue Bonnet bowl, all these bowls, they meant something. Oh, yo, man, don't nobody care. Cause they ain't playing for nothing but some. But. But some headphones and a swag bag, right? I'm being. I'm being honest, Chad. I ain't trying to be disrespectful. Congratulations to all the teams. Excuse me. That made a bowl game. But now with the College Football Playoff, that's all people care about.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah. And if. If your team is not in the playoffs, the only people that are watching the bowl game are fans of that Specific team. I, I get you, I get you. I'm with you. I'm with you. When you're right again.
Odoo Representative
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I mean, you look at any game like, bro, I'm like, and this is what you happen. And, and so, and they talking about What? Increase the 16. Joe, Ocho and Joe, if you crease in 16, you might as well just do away with the bowl game because you ain't got but 42 people. All the only people in the bowl game watching now, family members from both teams, basically.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I'm just.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I, I, I, I don't know what college is going to do.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
They got all this money.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
They got to do something. They got to do something because these bowl games and, and kids, if you, if, and the thing is, Joe and Ocho, if you're a college kid and you got a high grade on you, are you really playing in the ball game? That's not, that's not going to lead to a national championship. Really?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Absolutely not. Oh, especially you have opportunity going into going to the draft. Nah, you're not taking that chance.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Well, it depends on what the type of money you making. These professional athletes now, these ain't, these ain't just regular college students no more, man. These dudes make money.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Absolutely. But I agree, they need to go ahead and get. Because if you complete with NFL, you're not gonna win. Nobody that competes with the NFL, not NCAA basketball, not NBA basketball. If you go look at the college games, the NFL did three, four times the ratings that NBA did. Oh, ain't no competing. And I get Charles Barkley. And everybody's saying, who won?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Who won Christmas, huh?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
The NFL. It ain't even close. Okay, three to four to one. And I get, I get it. The NBA used to be. Christmas used to belong to the NBA. Yes, but not no more. Y' all know how the NFL, the NFL by that dollar was it. Because the thing is the same thing, the NBA. Everybody at home, Joe, ain't nobody working on Christmas for the most part. I mean, obviously you got convenience stored in certain situations that people open, but for the most part, people at home watching.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Everybody say, I wonder if they'll watch us. Let me sprinkle a game in. Oh, they really watched us. To the 220 plus million, let's add another one. Let's see if they watch. To the 220/something million, add a third one. So if you think about, if you combine all the games that play basketball, games that were played on, they might beat one NFL game. Yeah.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
See, they started playing at 12 o' clock noon.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, and that. That all depend on the scheduling too, and who's actually playing.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
And think about it. And look at the games that we had. We had Dallas and the commanders. And these are team going anywhere. 20 something million. Then we got the Lions and the Vikes. 27 million. We got Kansas City with no mahomes, no starting corners. 20 something million. Yeah. You got Luca, you got KD, you got LeBron. 5 million. That's it.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Damn.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I think, I mean, look at the games now. You got the Broncos in Kansas City. Kansas City ain't going nowhere. You got the Dallas Cowboys and Commanders not going anywhere. You got. Now, I mean, Detroit was struck with Minnesota not going anywhere. Detroit was on life support. And the top NBA game, Minnesota and Detroit did four times the numbers. It ain't NBA. Y' all can complain all y' all want to, Charles. It ain't never going back.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Then y' all here to stay with it.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
When the NFL see they got Thursday game, y' all might as well just cat a Saturday games. If the Saturday, if the NFL pops up, say, let's see what the NFL playing now. We don't want no part of that. Y' all go ahead. Y' all can have it. Y' all already know Sunday is a no go. Yeah, nothing should be. Nothing should be. The only thing you should do on Sunday is go to church and everybody try to get going to early service to get their ass home so they can catch the one o', clock, one o' clock game. Yeah, that's the only thing you should do on Sunday is go to church. If you talk about going to another sporting event, it's a wrap if the NFL zone. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So I agree with Dan Landing this thing should be over because you don't really. You ain't really trying to go head to head with the NFL. Oh, Joe enjoys time to prize pick. Flair fade presented by prize pick. All right, we got Elijah Surat. More than 0.5 rush or receiving touchdowns. I'm assuming he's from Indiana.

Are going back on tour. And there's a great chance there's a better than 85, 90, 95% chance we're gonna go back to Houston. Aaron Owens. If Reuben Baines Jr. Is somehow still on the board when the Bengals pick, they gotta take him. I don't know if he's gonna be on the board when they pick.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Disruptive man ain't gonna be on the board. AD scouts about. Oh, his arms ain't long enough, man. It's the scouts say some of the dumbest stuff. Turn on the goddamn film.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Thank you.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Turn on the film.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
That's the mistake that they made with Aaron Donald. Well, he ain't big enough. He only weighed 270 pounds. He's 5 11. He's 6 foot. Okay, defensive player of the year. Excuse me? Off the defensive. Rookie of the year, three time. Defensive player of the year, eight time first team all pro, 10 promos for a guy that's not big enough, not tall enough, not fast enough. Now, how dumb do y' all look? Did you watch him at pit? If you watched him at pit, he did the exact same thing for the Rams that he did at pit.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yep.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He didn't do anything different. He cut ass at pit. He could ass at the Rams. That's what it feel about the more. Happy New Year's, brother. Your show helped bring so much happiness. Enjoy your living. Proof that we're never out, just down. Here's to 2026 and success moving forward. God bless, Philip. Thank you for your support. You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right, everybody. You either entering the storm, you're in the storm, or you leave the storm. And no, ma, no matter how bad you think you got it, somebody got it worse than you. Pick your head up, keep your head up.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
You can't see where you're going with.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
It down, and keep walking straight ahead. Big Mike. Happy New Year's, everyone. Oh, probation should be over now. We close, Big Mike. We close.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
We close. Hey, nah, it's over. It's over. We ain't got time for that. Matter of fact, because of good behavior, they let you cut your ankle monitor off sooner. Yeah, we good now. We good to go. Okay, we good to go.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Koda, can we get Ash enjoying cameo appearance to bring in 26? Thanks for producing the best podcast on the Internet. Can you tell us what it's like behind the scenes? Trying to keep organized. That's the easy problem. Look, all we have is a rundown. Everything else is. Ocho and I, we off the cuff. Every all we have is a rundown and Ocho don't know what I'm gonna say. I have no idea what Ocho's gonna say. You know, Ocho comes back with one liners, I come back with a one liner. Joe do what he does. We don't, hey, we have a rundown that's as organized as we are. We. We need to have some sequence in which things are going to happen, right? Sean Montgomery. What's up, fellas? Why can't a receiver win the Heisman in college as the best player but the nf. But a receiver can't win the MVP in the NFL. That's a very good question.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Very good.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Very good question. I don't know because it's just hard. Because college, they said he's the most. They said he's the best college player. That's what the Heisman signifies. But in the NFL, the MVP signifies the most valuable player Value. That's the question. Value. If a receiver. How was, how was Randy Moss going to win the MVP with 23 touchdowns when Tom Brady threw 50 touchdowns? You know that that's the problem. Yeah, Calvin, when Megatron, he had. He broke the record. Because it's going to take. I think you can might get a running back, but he's going to need to break Ed's record and Ladanian Thomason record in the same season in order for him to be the quarterback. Because these quarterbacks now with the league, the way the quarterback is protected, the way that the receiver, they call the pass interference, these quarterbacks will throw for 40, 50 touchdowns every year. So it's going to take somebody, a running back to break Ed's record and break Ladalian Thomas's record. And I think that would be. I think that's going to be. Then you have a. No, like, hold on. He broke Ed's record. A record that's been in place for 30 for 40 years. So a record that's been in place for 40 years and break Ladan Thomas a record. That guy, that running back will win the mvp. Quino. I'm usually listening to Spotify, but I can tune in live tonight. Love y', all, man. Keep doing y'. All. Bear down, baby. Bears look good. They got a chance to clinch. They gotta still got a chance. They still got a chance for. They can't get the number one seed Candy because it'd be Seattle or, or San Fran because San Fran beat them head to head and Seattle has a better record right now. So they can't get the number one seed. So it's Seattle or the Rams? I mean, it's Seattle of the Rams, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mr. International. Bill Parcel told Bill a check. Why are you starting meeting without Lawrence Taylor? There's a perfect example. Didn't Lawrence tell y' all he was driving around? He said, man, why the stadium lights on? Oh, we got a game. I need to go. He go in there, get two sacks. When you're the greatest. When you're the greatest at something. The man was late. The man was late for the flight. He flipped his keys to the ballet, say, I'll be back Sunday, Meet me here. And the guy met him there with his car.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Oh, man, the rules are different. The rules are different.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yeah, but listen, everybody ain't Lawrence Taylor. And that was. That was. That was. And a lot of the stuff that LT did back then, you can't get away with that now. There's too many cameras. Nah, like Jordan. Like Jordan gambling the casino. You can't do that stuff that Jordan did and everybody. And plus reporters turned. It used to be when I first got in the league, if the reporter saw you somewhere, Joe, they turned out they. They ain't got nothing to do with me right now. Everybody want story.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)

Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
But here's the thing, Ocho. I still got some time on my sentence, so I don't want him. I don't want to have to serve the rest of it out. I don't know if you know how the criminal justice system work, Ocho.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, I haven't been in there. I haven't been in there.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, well, listen. And plus, my mama told me I need to behave. She told me I need to shave. She sent me a picture of a razor.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)

Yeah, what's up with the naked face? Where you stash it?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, hey, hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. You know what?
Odoo Representative
I was.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, N. Jo. You know, when I was growing up, they called me Baby face. You know, I don't look made. I seen somebody today, you know, they, they. I saw them and they like, well, God damn. Oo, but you. You look. You look much younger in person. I said, yeah, I'm. I'm. I'm. You know, I'm 57, but I look young. Say, yeah. In person, you look more refined. I ain't never heard nobody describe me like that.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
That.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
That was, you know, and I think that's because I keep such a clean look.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
I got you.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, yeah, but I can grow. I can grow something out like. Like Rick Ross, you know, I can.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
No, like Freeway. Nah, I got. You know, they gave me. They gave me. They gave me a ten year probation. I'm on parole right now, Joe.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Damn. Ten years. Probation. I'll see y' all soon.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, look, 26, man. We're gonna get out here and have a little fun now.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yeah, I don't know. We are. Oh, we gonna be having some fun though, Joe. All right, Joe, we go. We're gonna have fun.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
All right? Okay.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
But ain't gonna be nothing like, compared to 2727. I'm in heaven. Philosophical truth and wisdom. Unfortunately, so many learn sports in the ESPN era.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Era.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Because the real greatest quarterback of all time is John Elway. He was Rogers and Peyton Manning, one. The thing that those guys in the 80s and 70s had to go through. You saw those hits.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
And you in this documentary.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, man.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Can you imagine? They hit a quarterback like that. Now Joe Ocho, he's.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
He'll be suspended for two, three, one or two games.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I was fortunate enough to come up in the early 90s, man. It wasn't no defensive receiver they didn't call. No helmet. The helmet. They attacked the quarterback. They dropped their weight on the quarterback. I mean, you go back and look at Goose and what he did to Rich gannon. He dropped 345 pounds on his shoulder and separated his shoulder. But you can't do that now. You can't attack the quarterback like that now, Dom, y' all be saved them streets or the crib for the night. New Year's Eve. Yeah, we. We said. I mean, I ain't got nothing.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I'm getting ready to head out. I mean, the area where I'm gonna be at is nice and safe. Going to go, hey, Joe, I'm going to enjoy this. Go to enjoy this parade. You know, it's all family and friends and. And fun.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
You know what? I'm sure I might join you next year. I might be a little junkanoo.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Come on.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
That's what I'm talking.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)

Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
We might be able to. We could do a show out here and fill an arena now. Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)

Vizio Spokesperson

Unc (Co-host/Commentator)

Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I can't tell you.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Well, hey, you need to let somebody know where you at, so if anything happen, we know where to find you.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I'mma let my. I. I'mma let. I'mma let a few people know.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Okay?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)

Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
You gonna have.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
You.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
You gonna have a hostage with you.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Me on somebody balcony with a ski. If y' all see somebody with a ski bag with a shy skill on the balcony. Yeah, it's me.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Okay. Okay.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, it's midnight in Houston. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I'm staying out of Houston. I ain't never gonna be in Houston on New Year's. Even if I. If I were to live in Houston, I got to leave that joke.
Odoo Representative
Yeah.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, no, sir.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Nick Valentin sleep on us again. Remember what you said, Who I slept on? Architect. Nice tv. Question. Is Caleb Downs the best safety prospect since Sean Taylor? Respect, Eric Barry. No.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He's good. He's good. He's the best right now in this era. But not. Not like. Not like Sean Taylor.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
No, he said since Sean Taylor.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Oh, since. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
You know who I really. You know who I really liked as a safety? That he reminded me of Ed Reed when he was in Alabama.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Who?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Xavier McKinney.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Oh.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
His range, his ball hawking skills.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
He reminded you of Ed. Now, Sean Taylor had range, but not like air. But Sean was a thumper.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah, he come down here, but you.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
6, 3, 2, 25, you supposed to be able to thumper. Yeah, you supposed to be able to bump.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
But Ed Reed. I mean, when you start talking to Ed Reed, it's like playing out. It's like saying outside linebackers look like ltd. I get leery when I hear that. I hear. When I hear LT comparisons, I get real. I get real scary.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
They can't do that. They can't do that.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Nick Mars. Don't catch this live often, but thank you guys for getting me through the a rough 2025. Here's the 2026. The year Ocho pays, unc. I sure hope so. But you know, Nick, it was. It was rough for a lot of people. A lot of people went through worse things than what I went through. Or maybe what you went through. There's a lot of death. There's a lot of destruction. But you know what? I still believe in the higher power. And everything's gonna work out for everybody. So just stay prayed up. Make sure you tell people that you love, that you love them on a regular basis because you ain't promised tomorrow. Now, nobody is promised tomorrow. It ain't written down. Nowhere will you get to see tomorrow. Yes, sir. But, Nick, thanks for your support and thanks for watching. DT Jeremiah Smith, number one overall in 2027. The only two receivers I can remember going number one overall. I think Irving Fry went number one overall in 84. And Keyshawn with number one overall in 96. Oh, bad.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
That boy got some talent, man.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, he unbelievable.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
He good now.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
But it's gonna be hard to be number one overall, Ocho. Especially with quarterback. Cause Arch man ain't coming out next year. And he's gotten better and better. I'm telling you, Ocho.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
All right.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Because, you know. Because here's the thing, Ocho. A receiver plays what a dependent position. If I give you the best receiver and I give you the fifth best quarterback in NFL, which one you taking? I give you the best receiver in all NFL, but I'm gonna give you the fifth. I tell you what. I give you the seventh best quarterback. Which one you taking? Forget Forget Stafford, forget Lamar, forget Joe Burrow, forget Patrick Mahomes. I'm gonna give you the six. I'm gonna take the six best, seventh best quarterback and give you the best receiver. Which one you taking? You could have. You could have Chase, you can have Jetta, you can have Puka, you can have Jackson and Jigba, you could have Pickens, you could have CD which one you want? Give me the six best quarterback and I give you the best receiver. And I'll beat your ass.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Oh, that's. That's tough.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
It ain't tough.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
That's tough.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
That's why they make the big bucks.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
So who we think? Okay, listen. We say Joe Burrow. No order. I'm gonna say top five. So we say Joe Burrow. We say Lamar, we say Mahomes. We say Josh Allen.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
We say Drake. May. We say Matthew Stafford. Okay, now we start getting into Dak Prescott's. We start heading into. Who else? Jalen Hurts, Jayla hurst, Sam Darnold, C.J.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Strouds.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yeah, you're not taking. You not taking any of them. You're not taking no DB I mean, you're not taking no wide receiver over. And you damn sure ain't taking no wide receiver over the five guys that I mentioned. The six guys that I mentioned. Absolutely not.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
So everybody you name is now proven and shown what they can do at the highest level.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
So if I give you. If I give you. If I give you Chase, I give you Jetta, I give you Smith and Jigba. I give you Puka. They're proven. You taking them over? Any of those quarterbacks I name? No.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
No.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
No. Oh, Justin?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Herbert.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Oh, yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
You taking. You taking a wide receiver over Herbert?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
You might well throw Trevor Lawrence in the picture too, then.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Okay, there you go. Do you guys think Reuben Bang should go number one overall draft pick. He's playing like it. He's playing unbelievable. He definitely helped this stock tonight. He played incredible tonight. If we thought he was a top. A top interior lineman. He can rush inside, he can rush outside. Speed to power. He's quicker than you think. I like him. He's gonna. I can see a scenario. He's a top 10 pick.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I say top five. And the fact that he's top five, that they already talked about him going top, number one. But what he did tonight and to the team he did it against.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yep, he did it against.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
On the biggest stage against Ohio State, where the world is watching. So I like it.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
I agree, King. Grade 48, UNC Ocho game seven on seven. Ravens all time versus Bengals all time. You both included.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Who win?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Also number 82, the greatest tight end in Ravens history. Seven on seven. Man, we beat the brakes off them. Of who?
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Yo, who gonna stop me?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Man, look here. We got air back there safety. So they're gonna have Christmas.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hold on. When he was there, he didn't stop me. So again, who gonna stop me?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Chris McAllister. So they got Chris McAllister. Probably Marlon Humphreys and Ray maybe beat the brakes up, y'.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
All.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
All them names you just named. Ain't none of them was able to stop me. So I'm gonna ask you one more time. 1. Who gonna stop me? And then they. Everybody else. What is this? Well, you know who you're talking to over here? What?
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yeah. Y' all didn't stop me. And y' all caught me. And y' all caught me. I was on the back end. Y' all didn't catch me in my prime.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hold on, y'.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
All.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
We got somebody to stop you. We ain't worried about that.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Man, y' all ain't got enough stop signs and traffic signs to stop me.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
All right, all right. Don't forget. Don't forget I was a two way player.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
That's okay. Oh, I. Boy.
Odoo Representative
Hey.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. I would have locked on. What's up, man? Man. Man, I'm talking about. I would have been right in his face. Hey, Joe. I would have been right in his face just like this, talking to him. Where you going?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
In the back pockets.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Do it, Ocho. Joe, the first play, I ain't even trying to get open. I'm running dead over the top of it.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Hey, Joe, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm doing like. Like they do. You know how to manage through the bull? Man, I ain't got Time to play with you. That ain't my game.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, you go. Oh, you open the gate. Hey, my girls say, boy, open the door. Flies come in your house. I appreciate you opening the gate. You see what happened when dbs opened the gate? What happened, Ocho?
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
You gone.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
You heard.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
You out.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Hey, but, hey, listen, smell the deodorant.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
I know, I know, I know. I know it's a run play, so I know what you're doing. I can tell if it's a pass or not.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Oh, I would. I'm gonna do the same way. And we got. Oh, and we got Jamal and we got Lamar. Bro, we gonna tear y' all up.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
It ain't happening. It ain't happening.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Man, look here. Our best. Our best 11 defensive players against y' all best 11 offensive players. Our best 11 offensive players against y' all best 11 defensive players. Ain't no chance.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Well, you would have been on the island, stranger, playing with me.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
True enough. Of the 73 said, Ohio State didn't face any real competition during the regular season. Except Texas. Texas in week one. Look at what happened to them versus Indiana and tonight. Well, I can't disagree with you right now, Earl C. Ryan Day had no business losing that game. Defense couldn't stop when they needed the offense. Didn't do enough. Offense couldn't score. Ryan Day will have questions again. Well, guess what. The whole year, I think Brian Hartline called the plays. I don't know why you would change it up tonight, Ocho. Yeah, if he called plays, all year long, he been had the job. Now, you invite yourself. You invite questions on yourself that you wouldn't even have to answer had you let him call the place. Oh, well, Jason. Go can go. Canes, baby. Everyone doubted this team, but we turn it up tonight. Oh, and it's great to be a Miami Hurricane. Yeah, you got a. To the victor goes the spoils. Vans all the host. At what point does the desire to be the best become toxic? Obsession. It is healthy to chase perfection. Where do we draw the line? See, lazy people say it's obsess. Obsession. We call it dedication.
Ocho (Co-host/Commentator)
Yeah.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Somebody that has a nice body. Oh, they obsess. They up. They selfish. Well, just because you're not motivated to take your ass to the gym and be disciplined enough to eat what you're supposed to eat. Now I'm obsessed. No, you just lazy because I want to be the best. And you chose to be okay or. No, I don't look at it like that.
Unc (Co-host/Commentator)
Mediocre.
Joe (Sports Analyst/Host)
Yes. Some people demand perfection of themselves. Look, I'm reaching for the stars, but if I land on the moon, I'm pretty damn high. Trey Bell. This is going to turn Jeremiah Smith into a monster next season. He's already a monster. He can only do so much. He had 7 for above, 57 in the tub. What more could he have done? Hell, he couldn't get in the ball from his back. Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy. Hey, fam. Happy New Year. Thank you for the laughs and the energy. They've carried me more than you know.
