Travis Hunter Travis Hunter is reportedly leaning towards ending the NFL draft as a cornerback and working out as a cornerback at the NFL Combine. Some NFL scouts reportedly believe Hunter will come close to running between 425-430-1040s. Many scouts also reportedly believe Hunter should be the first overall draft pick in the 2025 draft. A heavy amount of NFL executive reported will use Hunter as a full time corner and a part time receiver if he's on their roster. Is Hunter the best unicorn? Ocho yeah, everybody tried. That's all we've ever said. Yes sir all we've ever said. Oo you and I and many that listen to us. He can play one full time position but he'll play a part time other position. How you Gonna tell that man what he gonna do because I know the game. If you played the game, we understand how hard it is to play one position full game. You not playing two positions every single snap. You're just not. I said they'll have packages for him where he comes in and he does what he does.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

What people need to understand. I'm gonna let you finish on people need to understand. Once you get to the next level. I don't think people are taking into account on how elite the talent is once you hit the NFL level.

[Travis Hunter]

They don't.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Week to week, you know, team to team. Think about it. Can you imagine you play for. I'm trying to think of a good. Let's say you play for the Broncos and you got Patrick Sertain on one side, and then you gonna. You gonna play receiver and take away some of Cortland Sutton snaps like. Like you. You have to. Maybe I'm using a bad analogy and using the wrong team. You know, it's.

[Travis Hunter]

I think the thing is Ocho, because here's the thing, because, okay, he's gonna go against. Let's just say for the sake of argument, he goes against T. Higgins. He got Jamar Chase.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Right. Well, he would always be against the number one. So let's say he's covering Ja'marr Chase.

[Travis Hunter]

Okay, now you got your hands full. Now you gonna go over there and play wide receiver.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I like it. I like it.

[Travis Hunter]

Every snap. Every snap.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

All we said. Look, I'm not saying that he can't do it, but the greatest athlete. I saw two great athletes. I saw Bo Jackson and I saw Tyler.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

And I'm old enough. Like I said, I'm only. I think I'm a year younger than time. And I saw time at his apex. He played full time corner and he had packages at wide receiver, which is.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Why I think that's how they're going to use trappers.

[Travis Hunter]

And that's all we've ever seen. But people got upset with me talking about, no, he gonna play every snap at DB and every snap at corner. And I say, no, he's not.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I don't. I don't. You know. You know, it's funny. I don't even think an NFL exec or a team or owner or a head coach would even allow that.

[Travis Hunter]

No, I'm not, bro.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I don't even think they would allow that.

[Travis Hunter]

Now I get diminishing returns. Because, okay, if you go, how you gonna give me 100% at DB and 100% because, look, college is college. That's one thing. We've seen great college players not be able to handle it in the NFL, regardless of position, offensive line, defensive line, wide receiver, db, quarterback, whatever the case, running back, whatever the case may be, and to play at that level every game. And you know, I never, I never thought it was a possibility. I always thought he could be a full time. And I told Ocho. What did I tell you? I said, ocho, he gonna be a db, and then they'll put packages in it for him. Like, okay, we come in with our nickel package or I spread our spread formation. Ocho, you know, we go five wise, something like that.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You know what? And when I sat back and I thought about it, right? And I sit back and think about it, there's always a special individual. There's always a person, there's always a unicorn that changes a narrative and does some of the things that we say they can't do, where they're so good at what they do. A team, if going to the right situation, finds a way to utilize them a little bit more than often, as opposed to what we're used to seeing, being that it's never been done before. The fact that we've seen Travis do things at the collegiate level that have never been done before because he's such a special, unique talent. What happens if a team, he goes to the right situation, even as a full time db, and then he plays more steps, more snaps than normal on the offensive side of the ball. Because he is that special. He is that dynamic with the ball in his hands.

[Travis Hunter]

Them legs, like you said, those guys are really, really good.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

Even. Even the third and fourth receivers, they were number one and two at the other place they were at. Yeah. Because guess what? A lot of those guys look. And I think he's a phenomenal talent.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

But a lot of the guys that he's going against at db, a lot of guys that he's going against at wide receiver, they ain't gonna be in the NFL. Every guy that he go against on Sunday, guess where he's at, Ocho, in the NFL?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

And boy, look here. When all I hear about. If they talk about how good you are. Oh, you best believe I'm gonna be on my best behavior. You will absolutely get Shannon Sharp's best game.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Listen, when it comes to competing in practice, huh? And you coming in as a number one or that number two pick, I.

[Travis Hunter]

Got to see why.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, you got to show me.

[Travis Hunter]

I got to see why.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You got to show me. Matter of fact, I did the Madden broadcast on Peacock Day. And me and Trav, we was talking a little trash, right? I told. He's talking about let's lace him up. I said, okay, well, let's lace him up for that Heisman. You get 10 routes. If I get open one time, I get to hold your Heisman for a whole year. Say, no problem. No problem.

[Travis Hunter]

I believe you can get up. I believe. I believe you better get up on that. I believe. I believe you better get up on that first route. Because after that, your legs, your leg, your knee, your hips, your ankle. Listen, they gonna be aching so bad.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

My mind. My mind know what to do. Now, I don't know if my body on my brain gonna register, my body gonna operate like it's supposed to, like goddamn 20 years ago. But oh, man, it was a good time. I'm happy. I'm happy for Young Bull, though, man.

[Travis Hunter]

I am too.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I'm happy.

[Travis Hunter]

But like I said, I think it's contingent. Do I believe he's the best player in the draft? Absolutely.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Absolutely.

[Travis Hunter]

But here's the thing. If I need a quarterback, I'm not taking the best player in the draft.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Well, listen, number one. The number one. The number one. The team that is drafting number one and drafting number one because they don't have a quarterback at the helm. And it's going to be Shador. It's going to be. And number two is going to be Travis Hunter. I'm telling you, they're going one and two. They're going one and two unless something drastic happens. But those are the two talents that you can't pass up. Because the number one team, whoever picking first, they need a quarterback. You're right, they do. It has to be the ideal situation. So I'm out either going to the Giants or the Raiders doing something to hop up to number one and snatch him up. And I'm not sure who has the number two pick.

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah. But I'm glad I got an opportunity to see it. Like I said, I remember when Champ came out and Champ was a db. And Champ was an outstanding db. He's an All American. Um, and I saw him on the offensive side of football. Champ had like four or five touchdowns. But we've never seen a guy be this good on the offensive side. Even Woody Charles, Woodson Charles ran back punts. He got a couple of plays on offense, but Charles wasn't this good on offense. Now maybe they were a little bit more polished as a db. Yeah. Cause Champ footwork was second to none. That hey, my homeboy. Hey. From Charlton County. Hey, man, he get in and out of that break, boy. Hey, he has some feet on him.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Very nice. Very nice.

[Travis Hunter]

He has some feet. He has some feet on him.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Great, great ball still too.

[Travis Hunter]

But, but Trav, when you talk, when you talk about the combination of offense and defense, I haven't seen anything like it. Now, I didn't see time in college. You know, time was a db, obviously. Time won the Thorpe Award. Time ran back punts. I don't know if time played. I, I hadn't talked to him in a minute. I ain't bothered because I know he getting ready for the bowl. When they play the bowl game, the 28th. When time to play.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Wait, who is, who is Colorado playing in their bowl game again?

[Travis Hunter]

BYU.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh. Oh, yeah. BYU ain't no slouch, boy.

[Travis Hunter]

They play the 20th.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah. Okay. Okay.

[Travis Hunter]

The 28th. Okay. They do play the 20th. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

BYU ain't no Slouch. They nice.

[Travis Hunter]

No, no, no, no. They not.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

They nice. That's going to be a good game. Very good game, Ocho.

[Travis Hunter]

The Falcons are expected to cut Kirk Cousins.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Uh huh.

[Travis Hunter]

Before the $10 million roster bonus due. This will reportedly cancel the rest of the $180 million that included the hundred million dollar guarantee. Huge. What you think? Huge error. But hold on. How much of the money is he's still gonna have? He don't. He got. Wow.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Hey, listen.

[Travis Hunter]

Well, it canceled the last 80, so he's still getting 100 million because he made 62 this year and he's gonna make 38 next year.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, I mean, listen, they gonna say they gonna save face.

[Travis Hunter]

They.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

They gonna, they.

[Travis Hunter]

You can't save face. And that was my Ocho. We had this conversation. I said Ocho. It doesn't make sense.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

I say at best case scenario, you're gonna get one year out of Cousins. You billing him? Tell me he's not. There's only, there's only one quarterback that I'm paying $100 million, and that's Patrick Mahomes.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

If he ain't getting no $100 million, I damn sure ain't giving Kirk Cousins no $100 million.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You have to understand, you know how the business works. You understand the importance of having a quarterback. Quarterback. The said quarterback in question right now has only one. One playoff game. You know what you get from it in the season? You know what's that?

[Travis Hunter]

It's the Zipper. Oh, you.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You cold?

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah. Hey, cold? I'm cool.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, okay. Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, so you, you, you, you understand? Yeah. I got mine. Don't worry about it. You're gonna see me in mine every day from now on, whenever it's time to travel. Yeah, but you understand why, you know, teams pay for the quarterback position like that? Because in order for your team to function, you got to have a quarterback. And you know what you got?

[Travis Hunter]

Well, the Falcons are malfunctioning, so what am I paying for?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

But, hey, listen, it is the Michael Pennick Jr. Show from now on. I know. Lucky, lucky lefty. What's that? What size is that? Double it look like a robe almost.

[Travis Hunter]

It's big. You know what I'm saying, don't you?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Okay, okay, I see you. Yeah, I can't. I can't wait till I get home to mine. Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

Oh, this me right here, Cook.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah. Hey, you know what? Hey, listen, people. People in the chat, you need to understand when you order, when you order, you know, the cotton and you feel the material. This ain't just any kind of cotton. This is a hundred thousand sheep Egypt.

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

This is the kind of cotton that the pharaoh slept on. You hear me? This ain't.

[Travis Hunter]

We get in some ish.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

Deep cover on the incognito tip.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You look like 87. You look like Nino Brown.

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

You know, hey, boy, do it right here.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, you know. You know what time it is?

[Travis Hunter]

Something about that. Hey, what it do? Hey, you better not be no op about to run down.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

But Ocho, I, I, I, we talk. Ocho, when we talked about this, I said, ocho, let's just say for the, at, at the best case scenario, you get two years. Yeah. Worst case, you get one year. Yeah. Ocho, you about to pay this man a hundred million. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I mean, listen, for us, you know, for, for the casual fan not understanding, you understand how teams work. You understand how owners work and how bad they need a quarterback. And sometimes I wish somebody made that.

[Travis Hunter]

Kind of mistake on me.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Sometimes you have to overpay. Now, that's the one, Ocho.

[Travis Hunter]

You.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

That's the one position.

[Travis Hunter]

You remember what happened when guys used to get paid and they like, oh, we made a mistake? I like, why can't nobody, no team make a mistake on me like that? Give me, give me, give me 12 million, give me 14 million and send me on my damn weight. Hey, it's only one Ocho, actually. And I said this, I said this on first take. I said, they got President Trump as time. As Time Person of the year. Time magazine person of the year. That's Kirk Cousins agent. Kirk Cousin agent should be Time magazine person of the year.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

Do you know how much Cousins is made?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, yeah. He done made a grip for one playoff win. Yeah, he done made a grip. He didn't.

[Travis Hunter]

I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about getting hit, but I love my team, so I'm just playing Josh, but. And Marvin, but, man, you see the kind of. Lord have mercy.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

And listen, you got to understand, he bet on himself twice. He bet on himself twice. And then it's all about.

[Travis Hunter]

He got the franchise tag twice. And then he goes to Minnesota Ocho. They fully guaranteed the contract for the first time in NFL history. They fully guaranteed. And guess what? They did. He played so well. You know, Kirk can light you up. You ain't gonna win nothing, but you can gonna light you up. Yeah, they fully guaranteed the next contract. So you think about this. Franchise tag. Fully guaranteed. Franchise tag, fully guaranteed. He got three years fully guaranteed. He got another three years fully guaranteed. And then Burke Cousins got eight years of fully guaranteed money.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah. See, they. And one thing about Kirk, too, you know, he's a child of God, too now. He's a child of God. And one thing about it, your cup will runneth over if you continue to put that man at the forefront. So no, regardless. Regardless of how his play has been, whether it's stellar or whether it's been bad. Huh? The most high has always had his back, babe.

[Travis Hunter]

[e-mail] okay, bacon lovers, let me tell you something amazing about Oscar Mayer's thick cut bacon. Now, I don't know if you've used a smoker before, but it's a real labor of love. You've got to put time in to get that rich, smoky flavor. Now think about this. Oscar Meyer smoked their bacon for 12 hours. That's half a day. Twice as long as most bacon is smoked. So for that savory, smoky thick cut bacon, keep it Oscar.

You know, T, you work your ass off, T. To get where you at. To get to Clemson, to get to the NFL. All the hard work you put in, you deserve to be paid as the receiver that you are. You are a fucking number one receiver. You hear me? And we wanted the two team. One of the few teams in the NFL that has been fortunate to have two number one receivers. Now it's time for you to be paid as such. You know, I would love to see you stay with the Bengals. I would love it. Me as a Bengal. But then I'm able to separate my love for the team and understanding what you deserve as.

[Travis Hunter]

And be real hard work you've put in.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

This is me. And you know how I am. I'm Bengals, everything. So I just. I love the idea, though, man. I love Joe. And what Joe would be willing to do, I'm not sure how they can. They can work it kind of contractually where they can make it happen. Defensively, we need help. Defensively, we need help. We need pieces in certain places that will allow us to compete in that North Division because everybody else is getting big. But you got. Come on, man. I understand you love the city, you love your boys. But me personally, I want what's best for you. And this is coming from. If I cut myself right now, I bleed black and orange. But I want you to get what you deserve, boy. Cause you done put the work you.

[Travis Hunter]

Deserve it Ain't nothing orange.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Come again?

[Travis Hunter]

Just black. Ain't nothing orange. Oh, Joe. What's up, Chase? Talk to me, Joe. You see your offense, even though y'all putting up these numbers. Look at your. Look at y'all losing. You not gonna win. Look at. Go back and look. Even the greatest show of turf of 2001. They got beat.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

The Broncos scored the most points in NFL history. They got beat. The. The Patriots. They got beat. The Washington football team before they became that the. You know, the Indian name. They got beat. If you cannot stop somebody, you can't score enough points to do it to win. You just can't. The NFL history has shown that. I just gave you the four highest scoring teams in NFL history. Minnesota. Think about Minnesota Vikings. They got beat before they got to the Super Bowl. Go back and look at the 83 Washington team. They got beat. Go back and look at the 2007 Patriots. They got beat. Go back and look at the 2013 Broncos. They got beat. Hey, I want everybody to get their money.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

But I'm afraid t's gonna probably have to go somewhere else to get that money. Because if the Bengals are serious, they've got to upgrade their defense. Ocho, it's really that simple.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah. And I hate it. I hate it for T. I hate it for Joe. I hate it for Chase. I hate it for the fans of Cincinnati. I mean, everybody loves. Everybody loves T. Hell, I love T. I like him. I love what he brings to that offense and what he's able to do. Him and Chase are completely different to me. Again, Like, I see, I view them as two number one receivers, both of them that get the job done in a different way. Listen, it's multiple ways to skin a cat, but at the end of the day, they play the receiver position, and they do it very well in two totally different styles.

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah. I just don't see how you can have two. A $40 million receiver and a $30 million receiver and a $55 million quarterback, and your defense is hemorrhaging.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Damn, man. I would love to see it, though. And listen, I don't know how to do numbers. I'm not good at that. That's not something that I do do. And just trying to see, is it even possible? Is it even feasible for them to do anything and just. You can't. You can't. Now, if this was Madden, we can make it work.

[Travis Hunter]

We can make it work.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

We can move some things around. We can make it work. But in real life, no understanding and knowing what T deserves, man, don't do my dog like that.

[Travis Hunter]

Miles Garrett wants to be a part of the Browns, but he doesn't want to be a part of the Browns if they're in a rebuild mode. Gary said, I'm not trying to rebuild. I'm trying to win right now. And I want that to be apparent when the season is over and we have those discussions. I want them to be able to illuminate or illustrate that for me so that I can see something I can see in the near future, because that's all I want to do. I want to stay loyal to the team that show loyalty to me and faith in me by drafting me. But we have to do, at the end of the day what's best for us. Garrett, a five time Pro Bowler, a three time All Pro, has played in just three postseason games. Two of them came in 2020 when the Browns earned their first playoff win since 1994 and again last season in a lopsided 45 to 14 loss to the Houston Texans. Ocho, where are you on this?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Hey, listen, I like the ultimatum. I like the ultimatum. Basically, that's all it is at this point. If we're in a rebuilding stage, if we don't find a, a resolution at the quarterback position, please do right by me so I can have a chance to compete at a, at the playoffs and for a Lombardi Trophy. Allow me to go to a team that, that's going to be in contention. Where would that be?

[Travis Hunter]

I should have had my name on the back. Why ain't getting the name on the back of my shirt?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

What.

[Travis Hunter]

I needed back. I need my name. Oh, Joe, you remember, we was in school, used to have the name on the back of your.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, yeah. Back in the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Back in the day. Yeah, absolutely. You get your name, get your name stitched on there.

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah, I would get my name on the back. They might not. They might not recognize who I am. If I don't got my name on it.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

They're gonna know who you are.

[Travis Hunter]

I understand. I understand this frustration. But let me ask you a question, Ojo. Yes, sir. How close. How close do you think the. The Bingo Bingles? The Browns are to be in a legitimate team that can ultimately reach the destination that Miles want them to get there?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You know what? Can I be honest with you?

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

The Browns have a very good defense. They have a very, very good defense.

[Travis Hunter]

You don't win with defense.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I know I left.

[Travis Hunter]

You win. But you better be able to put points on the board.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

They're a quarterback away. And they've been a quarterback away for what, the past 30, 40 years? They are. They are a quarterback away. I'm not just talking about any quarterback. I'm talking about a CJ Stroud. I'm talking about a Jaden Daniels. You know, Patrick Mahomes coming along. No time. He stopped right there. But, yeah, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, a Josh Allen away from competing, you know, for. For a championship or at least contending year in and year out at a playoff spot. They're a quarterback away and have been for years. And if you look at what the Browns have been through for however long it's been, when it's been trying to find a quarterback, it lets you know how important that position is. You can't start. You can't start a franchise. You can't build a team, you know, in any way. You can have pieces and great players. You know, you have your Miles Garrett, you have your Denzel wars, but you'll never be able to compete in the AFC north in the playoffs. Goddamn Lombardi Trophy unless you have a goddamn quarterback. What happened? What y'all laughing at?

[Travis Hunter]

She made me a name plate. But that's. And unfortunately, the Browns might have to make a very difficult decision and trade their best player in order to rebuild and get what they need. Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

And listen, if trading Miles Garrett can get to the quarterback of your. Of your future, which I'm not sure how it would be, because the quarterback of your future would probably be in the draft.

[Travis Hunter]

Well, that means what you do is that you give up draft. Somebody might be. Have to give. You might have to give up two first rounders and a third rounder and.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Go for Miles Garrett. Absolutely, yes.

[Travis Hunter]

Because how old is Miles Garrett? 26, 27?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah. He's a Youngin. He's a Youngin now. He's a Youngin. But you got. Listen, you gotta. You gotta keep shooting. You gotta keep. Keep. You gotta keep shooting shooting for that quarterback. You gotta keep shooting because until you get one.

[Travis Hunter]

Somebody talking about Miles Garrett to the Ravens and Kirk Cousins to the Browns? Ah, hell no. I can tell you right now they ain't doing that deal. They'll never. They. The Ravens couldn't give up three first rounders to get Miles Garrett.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

That ain't happening.

[Travis Hunter]

Hell no.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

He definitely ain't going into the. Into division.

[Travis Hunter]

No, forget that. For the Steelers, the Ravens, the Bengals. Oh, no. Absolutely not. Huh? Okay. No. Check this out. The Saints had an unusual way of preparing rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler for the Monday night game against the packers in Wisconsin, where temperatures are expected to be 30 degrees or lower and potential snow is expected at Lambeau Field, quarterbacks coach Andy Janko. Jonoko took Rattler and the rest of the Saints quarterback into a walk in freezer in the team's cafeteria to run through plays.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You know what I like?

[Travis Hunter]

Django said he got the idea from watching Cool Runnings.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, I remember Cool Running. Hey, Cool Running was a good movie.

[Travis Hunter]

Good movie. Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yes, sir.

[Travis Hunter]

Let me ask you a question.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Talk to me now.

[Travis Hunter]

How long you think they stayed in that freezer?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Not long enough to. Not not long enough. Not. Not long.

[Travis Hunter]

Thank you. You need to be out there. So you need to stay in that freezer for at least an hour and a half.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

And then come back out there and then when you go through those plays, say, you know what? Hey. And go back in there for an hour. So at least three hours.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, Yeah. I like the idea, though. I like that.

[Travis Hunter]

I do, too.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I love the idea because inside a freezer, exactly what those temperatures are going to feel like out there. Exactly what they're going to feel like, you know. Now on the sideline, you're going to have your jacket on the sideline, you're going to have your heated benches, you're going to have your. You're going to have your. What you call the thing, the warmer.

[Travis Hunter]

Oh, yeah, yeah. The heater seat.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, you're going to have. You're going to have the heater. So you'll be fine. But it's on that field. On that field of play. 20 degrees and below, boy, it ain't no joke.

[Travis Hunter]

Hey, Ojo, it used to be so cold. You ever had them gators so cold that they had chicken broth on the sideline?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Nah, we can't have no food on the sideline.

[Travis Hunter]

Chicken. Just chicken. Man, look here, man, I was sloshing around, I said, man, I gotta stop drinking, man. I waterlogged like a bug.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Well, y'all had chicken broth on the sideline. For real?

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

How the hell you got it on the field?

[Travis Hunter]

The team broke it out. There was cold. You had to be hot.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Y'all might well have some goddamn hot chocolate, too, but what you eating?

[Travis Hunter]

Caramel corn.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You need to be eating some candy corn.

[Travis Hunter]

You know what, Oto, we talking about candy corn and we talking about back licorice. Yeah, but you know a candy that's flown under the radar, that need his ass kicked.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

What?

[Travis Hunter]

Those circus peanuts, Those orange ones? You know those orange. You know those. Those orange peanuts. You know what I'm talking about they re. They real spongy. What do they. What do they call?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I don't know.

[Travis Hunter]

Are they called. They call circus penises? Yeah, they about this big. Y'all know what I'm talking about?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Wait, you talking about regular peanuts you got when you crack the shell?

[Travis Hunter]

No, no, they're candy.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, I don't know.

[Travis Hunter]

They call circus. Yeah, yeah. Circus peanuts. They orange look like peanuts and they soft now. They don't. They don't. They done. They done been getting away with a lot of. We beating up on candy corn. We beating up on black licorice. Circus peanuts. Y'all going unscathed. But y'all some bull jive, too. I just want you to know.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what those are.

[Travis Hunter]

Well, you get off here. You Google it and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Let me Google it real quick.

[Travis Hunter]

Go ahead, Google it.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Circus peanuts.

[Travis Hunter]

But they don't. They don't. They don't. They don't go. They don't go. They don't got. They don't go unscathed for a long time. Ocho. Yeah, there you go.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Them look like cheese puffs. Hey, Honestly, I ain't never seen them before.

[Travis Hunter]

They're good and terrible.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I ain't never seen them before. Circus. Yeah, yeah. I definitely. I ain't never seen them.

[Travis Hunter]

But they don't go on the scale. While we beating up on candy corn and black licorice. Now, don't get me wrong. Candy corn and black licorice, y'all some bull job too. But circus peanuts. We gonna throw y'all in there. You the top three.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Hell, no.

[Travis Hunter]

I don't know who came out with them.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

And that bag look like it's old, too. Like that's back in the day.

[Travis Hunter]

They old.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, yeah. See, that's why I don't know nothing about that. I don't know. I don't know nothing about that. That got to be the 80s.

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yes, sir.

[Travis Hunter]

Thoughts and prayers go out to a major league or hall of famer. Ricky Henderson passed away today at the age of 65. Ricky obliterated the record book, owning the all time stolen bass record of 1406, which is 468 more stolen bases than the all time great of Lou Brock, who held the record at 938 for a dozen years before Henderson passed him in 1991. Henderson also holds the record for the most stolen bases in a single season of 130 in 1982. The most time leading the league in steals with 12. And the most consecutive league of leading the years of leading the league in steals with seven. And at 39 years of age in 1998, Ricky Henderson became the oldest player in history to lead the American League in steals with 66. He's the greatest leadoff hitter in the history of the game. Nobody could get on base and impact a game like Rickey Henderson. Oh, yeah, the stories that people tell about Ricky. So my thoughts and prayers go out to him, his family and all the loved ones and all those that are impacted by this loss.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Same.

[Travis Hunter]

I got an opportunity to see him play. He played a lot of team. I remember him with the A's, remember with the Yankees. But he was a phenomenal player. Tremendous speed on the base pad. But back then, that's when people actually stole bases. You had Willie McGee, you had all those guys, Tim Rock, Range, guys that could really, really run on the base pads. And that was a big thing. Get on base, still second, potentially steal third, and then a sacrifice fly gets you the home plate. But now everybody's just swinging for the fences. Get the ball over, but rest in peace, Ricky, man, you're going to be missed. Unbelievable talent. Obviously a Hall of Famer, but he is the greatest leadoff hitter. And it's not close. So y'all go ahead and debate with somebody else that actually care, because I don't. But Ricky Henderson is the greatest player. And that 1400 steals, that ain't gonna ever be broken. That's never gonna be broken. Cause they don't even. They don't even. They don't even steal. They don't even run like that. I mean, to think about it, the man hold 100. Think about. We talking about Shohei, who had 58 steals or 60 steals. Ricky had 130 steals.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

That's crazy.

[Travis Hunter]

He had wheels. But those guys back then, they could really, really run. Yeah. De La Cruz. La Cruz from the Cards?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

For the Reds. The Reds, yeah. Dread. He's a big. I mean, he's huge in stealing bases like that, but he got some wheels. But Ricky, man, Ricky was unbelievable.

Okay bacon lovers, let me tell you something amazing about Oscar Meyer's Big cup bacon. Now I don't know if you've used a smoker before, but it's a real labor of love. You've got to put time in to get that rich smoky flavor. Now think about this. Oscar Meyer smokes their bacon for 12 hours. That's half a day. Twice as long as most bacon is smoked. So for that savory, smoky thick cut bacon, keep it Oscar.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Listen, tired of tossing and turning all night on your old lumpy mattress? Then it's time to upgrade your sleep game with the Restoform mattress. This state of the art memory foam technology have you feeling like you're sleeping on a cloud for 12 hours or more. 12 hours.

[Travis Hunter]

That's the same amount of time Oscar Meyer smokes their delicious thick cut bacon. Yeah, while you're sleeping, Oscar Mayer is still smoking that bacon. Forget your mattress for thick cut bacon. You'll dream about keep it Oscar Thursday.

[Travis Hunter]

All right, O. Now it's time for Q and A.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Q and A. Q and A.

[Travis Hunter]

Need all that said prayers to Tank Dale. Second year in a row he got took out by a teammate after getting shot this off season. Yeah, that's tough. That was a tough one, man. It's always tough to. To obviously, injuries this late in the season. OO got a chance for the play. You go into the playoffs.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, that makes it even worse, too, huh? When you get injured, you know, if anything, I don't. You never want anybody to get injured, but if it's going to happen, let's let it happen early in the season so then you recovery.

[Travis Hunter]

Give me an opportunity to come back.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Exactly. So you're able to be ready for training camp or be ready for the. For the start of the season. Man. So I hate this for Tank, you know, two. Two years in a row, I'm not sure what the severity of the injury is. Did you hear anything yet?

[Travis Hunter]

I haven't heard anything. Do we got any reports? I mean, yeah, but if you think about it, Ojo, the amount of time that it took to get him up and how he left the field, we know this. We don't know where the injury is, but we know he not coming back this year.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

He's in the hospital. Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, man. That's crazy.

[Travis Hunter]

So that's not good. So, Tank, just want you to know we're praying for you, bro. Wish you a speedy recovery. Was having a real good season, and unfortunately that's happened to you, so. But just want you to know the Nightcap family here, we're definitely thinking about you, and our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Angie Carr said Josh division is his butt. Same way y'all downplay Lamar's performance against the Giants. Keep that same energy in Josh playing bum bum competition. I'm trying to think who made the playoffs last year when Lamar won the mvp, who went? Who in that division? So did Pittsburgh make the. Make the playoff last year? Did Cleveland make the playoff last year? Did Cincinnati make the playoff last year? Angie, I'm just asking. I mean, you feel free to jump back in the chat, let me know. In that division, who made the playoff last year? I. Because I'm interested to see.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I. I just. I just.

[Travis Hunter]

You do realize that they don't, you know, they play other teams too. I mean, it does. I mean, look, yes, I saw in. And, and I know Baltimore beat Buffalo, but what do I do when you lose to the Raiders? What am I supposed to do with that? Oo. That team got two wins.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

And one of them came against y'all. Yeah, I'm just looking. I'm just looking at. Objectively, Lamar had 25 touchdowns and five picks. You said it's not about stats, it's about wins.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Right?

[Travis Hunter]

Now when your guy has the stats, you say it's about stats. It's not about wins. I'm confused.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, the goal posts always move depending on who's at the topic of the discussion, you know, but it's. It's a hard argument too, you know, because we talk about two of the best. The best at the positions.

[Travis Hunter]

Well, we know it's a two horse race, Ocho. Yeah. And I believe, Look, I believe Josh might have a slight lead. Yeah. Okay. This is Josh, this is Lamar.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yes, sir.

[Travis Hunter]

He might have a slight lead. Now, we only got a couple. We only got a couple of lengths to go. Now, it ain't like. It ain't like we starting at the. We starting at the starting line. We go out to let them out, you know, let them out the gate. Ocho, they're right there. We're down the home stretch and as the guy would say, and down the stretch they come. So it's really, it's really that. It's really that simple. Look, Lamar is going to have an unbelievable season. But if we just going to take it on stats. So what are we going to do about Joe Burrow?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, come on now.

[Travis Hunter]

If we just base it on stats, what are we going to do about Joe?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Well, then in that case, then they're going to bring up the record, the team. See, I told you. The goal post move. The goal post will move depending on who it is said topic. Because we, if we, if we basing everything off stats and numbers, well, hell, Joe Burrow is running away with the goddamn mvp. Mm. What's the banger? What, four? Nine? Four and eight. I mean, what's.

[Travis Hunter]

No, no, no. They won five games.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Five. Five.

[Travis Hunter]

No, they won. They five or six.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Five.

[Travis Hunter]

And think they got six wins. Because if they went out and the Broncos lose out, they would make the playoffs.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Well, I could, I could see, I. I could tell you this right now. We are. We're winning out. That's going to happen. We gonna win out. And when we make the playoffs, we're Going to be a team that nobody wants to see.

[Travis Hunter]

I don't know what that defense. I think if I'm an offense, I want to see that defense. Because all I got to do is if I get one stop, I feel very comfortable against that defense.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Ocho, I like.

[Travis Hunter]

Especially if I get the ball into the red zone, I feel real good.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Okay. I like. I like how you feel. I like how you feel.

[Travis Hunter]

I'm just basing it off. I'm just basing on what's happened this year. I will concede this. They have played better.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yes. Yes, they have.

[Travis Hunter]

But now Joe didn't play particularly well last week. The defense played outstanding. They have. They should have had. They should have had two scooping scores. Yeah, because remember, the guy fumbled the ball as he's crossing the goal line. They got another pick six. They picked them off four times. They picked up what, two fumbles and see, but that's.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

That's the scary part. That's the scary part about the game of football. You can play bad all season long, and all of a sudden you get to a playoffs and it's one game, you get hot. Get hot. You get hot at the right and the right time, and that's what the defense has done. Maybe. I'm just saying, maybe they're getting hot at the right time. Mess around that. I done told you. Listen, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I don't believe in fairy tales. But if that goddamn Joe Burrow and Jamal Chase and the rest of that team happened to get their ass into the playoffs and shock the world when they end up, I tell you with the greatest story of all time. Joe Burrow back in New Orleans.

[Travis Hunter]

That would be a great story. I don't think it'll happen.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

I. I know it sound good.

[Travis Hunter]

You just want to go there, so you go to the game.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Oh, I. I don't never go to the game, no matter what, unless I have.

[Travis Hunter]

Oh, you go to. If the. If the Bengals in there. You going.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Well, the Bengals played. The Bengals played. Played the Rams. I didn't go to that game. I went home.

[Travis Hunter]

Well, you already knew what was gonna happen.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Nah, nah, nah, nah. I think that'd be a great story, though. Great story.

[Travis Hunter]

All right. Oh, King Jabon Funkin Ocho says my Bears are out of the playoff race. We going to beat the Lions tomorrow. You're not. And hopefully ruin their chances at the bye week. I'll be back tomorrow night to say foot and ball. Bear down. You're not.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

No.

[Travis Hunter]

Where was the. Where did they play? This game at. Is this the game in Chicago? Is it in?

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

It don't matter where it's at. It don't matter where it's at.

[Travis Hunter]

Okay.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

No, Montgomery.

[Travis Hunter]

They down like 16, 17 guys on defense, on IR. Ojo.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Hey, how many?

[Travis Hunter]

About 16 or 17. They struggle on that side of the ball.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Travis Hunter]

Dope. DG said. Cuzzo. What is the NFL institute of their make it take it rule? If the team's defense scores on a pick six or scooping score the offense get the ball back.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

That ain't fair. Mess around with some of these offenses, your ass might not touch the ball.

[Travis Hunter]

Yeah, you might not get the ball. You might not get the ball no more. Next time you get the ball, you down 24 nothing.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah, imagine playing. Playing Mahomes, you know, some of. Some of the elite decision makers with the ball that don't really turn it over a lot. Yeah, they keep going down, make it, take it. You kicking field goals and they getting the ball right back. Boy, I don't want no part of that. No, sir.

[Travis Hunter]

Did you say what's up? Question for ug. Do you have a favorite child in terms of your dog? Which one behaves the best? And can we see them more? Teddy's bad. You would think Teddy head is the hardest. Titus is the scariest. But he listens the best. Especially to me. Titus will listen, but you gotta, like, almost plead with his little. I don't know, it's just something about small dog. They got a personality of their own. And he and Titus, they get into it and Titus be trying to sleep. And then. Then Teddy will go stand on his head, he'll start biting his ears. Okay, Titus try to move him away. You know, he take his party, move him out the way, and then Titus will get tired of him and then he'll like. Actually, he'll. He'll step on him. That drives Teddy crazy. So now Teddy got a fight. Oh, he got a growl. He got. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He all in now. And he mad like, bro, if you'd have left him alone, he would sleep. He wasn't bothering you. But Teddy, Teddy. Teddy is like, I can't carry tighter. Titus. Titus big ass. Titus weigh like 177 pounds, so. But he wants to stand on me because he see Teddy in the bed. He want to get in the bed. He see me carry Teddy, he think I can carry him. I can't carry you, bro. I cannot. But Teddy is the one that is the baddest, behaves the least, and gets the most attention. So TS Car washing detail said, what's your favorite interview this year? Mine was Chris Brown. I think CB was last year. CB was a 2023. Oh, my goodness. Well, obviously, cab was special. I like the Terry Crews interview. T. Cruise was very forthcoming. Carlos Miller is a damn fool.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Yeah. My favorite was Tyrese.

[Travis Hunter]

You like Tyrese because he's unpredictable.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

You don't know what he's gonna say. So me sitting there, you know, being able to actually be there while y'all was filming, I didn't know what he was gonna say. So I'm locked in and tuned in, because he's one of the few people that will say any and everything, you know, that people. No, people think it, but they won't say it out publicly.

[Travis Hunter]

But if you will, probably. And Ms. Pat.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

And Ms. Pat was good.

[Travis Hunter]

Ms. Pat was off the chain.

[Chad Ochocinco Johnson]

Ms. Pat was good, man.

She was on my plane, sitting right next to me. Now, I didn't know. This was before she took off, right? And so she was talking, you know, she's like, I love myself some falcons. She said, my name is Pat. Blah, blah, blah. But it didn't. Diamond. I didn't know who she was. And so she's got a. A Louis Vuitton purse, but she got a Gucci backpack. So we getting off the plane, I said, next time, you might want to match your accessories. She said, well, next time, you might want to kiss my ass and buy it for me. I don't know what the f. You talking about, right? I ain't got money like that. And so. But, you know, all. All of them. Ocho. And the thing is that because I learned something, I didn't expect to get what I got from Kiki. She's very mature, very good for her age.

For me personally, I was one of those people who, like many of us, weren't taught about finances. You know, my parents didn't know, but now this is the time where I can become somebody who creates generational wealth. Or I just sort of end up being in the same hamster wheel that we've been in for generations. At this point, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
