Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. A.J. Brown's "Shade" at Jalen Hurts?

• (03:48–08:28)
  • A.J. Brown praised new quarterback Drake May, describing him as knowledgeable and a "true leader of men," which sparked debate over whether it was a subtle dig at former QB Jalen Hurts.
  • Ochocinco:
    • "Can he not give his quarterback…praise? He was asked a question. Allow him to…answer the quarterback and give his quarterback praise." (04:13)
    • Suggests Brown was just being honest, but media will "split, slice, right, dissected…" (05:34)
  • Sharpe (Unc):
    • "You got to be real careful…because when you…played with Tom, you knew that anything that you said to pray, you had to be very, very careful because it was going to be taken as a shot that you was taking at Carson." (06:25)
    • "We just having a conversation…everybody else going to take it [differently]." (08:05)
  • Takeaway: Athletes’ public praise can be “media-trapped,” spun into controversy. Even innocuous praise may be interpreted as disrespect toward former teammates.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

AJ Brown has been impressed by Drake May. I think what's most impressive to me is that he knows what he's doing. I really admire that he knows what he's talking about and he demands everyone else know as well. He's a true leader of men and

[Joe Johnson]

a little shot, little low key. I was about to ask.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Oh, because I know. Ocho, Ocho, what you thinking? Oh, tell me what you think.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, can he. Can. Can he not give his quarterback. Can he not. He was asked a question. Allow him to be able to answer the quarterback and give his quarterback praise. That's all.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

You know, say why he didn't get his other quarterback praise like that.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

Ain't got to be directed. Him and the other quarterback that won

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

the super bowl, you know, did he. Did he say he know what he

[Uncle Ocho]

doing and AJ hold on. Jalen hurts. Know what he doing? He got a ring.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey. So. So. So let's just say for the sake

[Uncle Ocho]

of argument, he talk about Drake May.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Hold on.

[Uncle Ocho]

Let me finish. Oh, Joe, focus.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Hey, so let's just say for the sake of argument, if we just do a hypothetical here. Oh, cowboy. You know you a cowboy. Y' all don't see eye to eye anymore. Yeah, she say to that guy, oh, I. Oh, him. Oh, he know what he doing. He a real man. Ah, don't shot at me hey. Oh, hey. He talking. Can she give up new man credit?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, no, Yeah, I think.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Hey, Joe, look at it, Joe. Don't look at it, Joe. I, I, I, I think it is what it is. It is. Look, it seems to me, oo, after peeling about some layers and allegedly what transpired, I don't know how true it is. And we got to say, allegedly, there is no love lost between. And everything that he's. Everything that he says is going to

[Uncle Ocho]

be split, Sliced, right, dissected. Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Autopsy.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

You know, from above. Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

He was asked a question about his quarterback, what his quarterback looks like. He's been there maybe a week, a week and a half now, maybe two weeks, and he wants, he wants to know how things look. And obviously, you know, we've seen Drake May play last year. He's a very, very good quarterback. I think he is.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

He is.

[Uncle Ocho]

If he continues to have another season like he had last year, we're gonna have to have conversations about him being in the top 10, which some might put him in right now with consistency. So, I mean, A.J. brown, he's working with a new quarterback, and he was asked what it's like playing with him. He just gave an honest answer, that's all.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Come on, man.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

But you know how it is, Ocho. You got to be real. Hey, you got to be real careful.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Because when you went, when you went and played with Tom, you knew that anything that you said to pray, you had to be very, very careful because it was going to be taken as a shot that you was taking at Carson.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Knew that.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

You know how the one thing. Let's see. Y' all let Ocho fool y'. All. Ocho play dub sometime on television. Yeah, he.

[Joe Johnson]

He know how to do that.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Oh, you come on now.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, hey. You gotta understand, I'm extremely media savvy when that camera.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Exactly.

[Uncle Ocho]

And I'm asked certain questions. I know how to play that game.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yes. Look, look, look. Hey, hey.

[Joe Johnson]

When I got traded from Atlanta and went to Brooklyn, I'm playing with Darren Williams. Jeff Teague even talked about it. I was like, damn, I'm getting a chance to play with a all star caliber point guard. A hell of a point guard. T took offense to that.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yes.

[Joe Johnson]

He said he took offense to that, Ocho. That, that I said that I was going to play with a hell of a pg. Yeah, he took offense to it. And this is my man's. Yeah. You feel me? So y' all can say what y' all want. Jalen Hurst gonna take offense to that bro. Now, he may not come out publicly and say it. Say it, but it's human nature, bro.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yeah. What? Hey, when they ask me a quarterback, what I always say, Oo what quarterback would I say? Who? The top quarterback. What I say ain't no damn food. Hey, they. They tell me what I had. They tell me the plays I had to run. They throw me no touchdown. I ain't catch one pass from them.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

I wish I might put somebody in front of seven. I don't give a damn what they say. I don't care what their numbers are. Somebody can have a thousand touchdown passes.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

In a hundred passing yards.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

A hundred thousand passing yards. Excuse me. Nope. That's why you have to be very, very careful of what you say you do, because you listen. We and I just having a conversation. You know how everybody else going to take it. Y' all can say I'm messy all you want to, but I'm telling you, Joe said it, I said it. OO said it.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

That you have to be careful.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

It's. It's a slippery slope. And. It's a slippery slope. Some of the players, when you ask them questions, they don't understand that slope. Nope, they don't understand it. They just answering or question the question harmlessly not understanding how media pundits and those that. That hear the way it's answered and are going to intertwine it and say, well, hell, you take. Are you taking a shot at your old quarterback?

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

That's exactly what they gonna say, Ocho. Yeah. They said the same thing as a. Look, man, look, I. I appreciate Dan Reed. Dan Reed's drafted me, but if y' all want me to say something bad about Dan, that ain't gonna happen. That man gave me an opportunity.

[Joe Johnson]

Right. Fact.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

I said, hey, he was smart enough to draft me, but somehow he forgot to cut me. I wish I might say something. Kick rocks.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

If one. If I ain't nothing else, I'm. Be loyal to people that gave me an opportunity, man. Man, that goes without saying.

[Joe Johnson]

Everybody don't operate like that though, huh?

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yeah, that's. That's. That's the problem though, Joe. I know that's always. That's all that's been my problem.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Because I try to see the good in everybody. And I. And I do believe that there is good in everybody. But. But that good might be so far down and that bad so far up by the time you get to the good. Hey, don't do the number on you.

[Joe Johnson]

I know what you mean, boy? Experiences, boy. I'm talking about them. Been there. I'm talking about dealing with some people. I swear, I wish I'd never even talked to them. You hear me?

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yes.

[Joe Johnson]

Yes.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yes.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yes.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

But you know what, Joe? No good deed goes unpunished.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, you ain't never lied about that.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

No good deed goes unpunished, man. But I just. It's just. It's just. It's just hard for me in a situation, Ocho, when I've had such great success. Yes, sir. With an individual. It's just. It's just hard for me to just. No matter how it ends. And I give the Skip bro proud of me. Nobody, no athlete had ever done a debate. They had segments. A basketball guy come talk basketball.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Football guy would come talk football. They'd bring somebody in to talk golf. They bring somebody in to talk this 10 or X, Y, and Z. I was the only one to sit across from a journalist five days a week, two and a half hours a day. Even when Fox said, no, we want to get a journalist, Skip says, no, he can do it. I want him to sit across from me.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yeah. It's hard for me to let a few bad episodes of him and I letting our emotions get the best of us ruin seven years.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

That's just me. You might ask him. He might feel a totally different way. But I'm talking about me. That man believed in me. That man rolled for me. And that man wasn't going to take the job until they said, hey, I want him.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

And he wanted me. After one time, I did one show across from Skip. One show, that first take with no producers, no runners. And it's just. It's like, well, you. You need to think. I said, no, I'm good. What you want to talk about? Whatever he want to talk about.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

We end up going through production meetings. I'm giving my feedback. He's like, you gonna say that on there? I say, I absolutely gonna say it on there, too. Might add a little bit more to it. Absolutely. So I'm forever, forever grateful for the opportunity because I'm not here. I don't have this. If Skip doesn't get allow me on his platform and allowed me to be me, because that was the thing. He says, I'll be you. Be you. I don't think he thought me what really came with me.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Until it was too late. And everybody was too late. Everybody loved it.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah, he did.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

I mean, he didn't think the gold, I didn't think the gold mass. I mean, when I showed up with the stocking cap and the black and miles and look, I'm like, this was a one time thing. It went viral, went crazy.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

And then I showed up with the goat mask.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

And it went crazy again, man. Look, like I said, we have, we had a couple of bad shows where we allowed our emotions to get the best of us, but two shows, three shows, four shows, bro. We doing 200 shows a year. Yeah, we did 200 shows a year. We took two weeks off. We got two weeks off. We're going five days a week. So at work, maybe we have, we went dark. They had something. They had World cup or they had nascar, but for the most part, we going every day. We did 250 shows a year. And minus the, Minus the week, minus the two weeks we got off, that's the. Minus the two weeks. Okay, there it is. So out of 250 shows a year, seven. So out of damn near 15, 1600 shows, we have about four bad days. But it gave me the platform and people got an opportunity to see me in a totally different light. Yeah, they got an opportunity to see what. Damn, he do know stuff. Yeah, man, he can talk about anything. Because I knew I had to succeed or they gonna say, well, hell, if he couldn't do it as much as they say, he studied, who can do it.

[Joe Johnson]

Right. Right.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

And then the Colin Kaepernick. Most people didn't want to touch it. Skip's like, hey, can you talk about this? I was like, absolutely. We have the Terence Crutcher. Can you talk about that? Can you have, talk about Eric Gardner? Can you, can you talk about Sandra Blair? Can you talk about George Floyd?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Absolute Walter Scott? Yes, yes, I can talk. I would love to. Glad that you asked. I'mma put this old history degree in this black college. I will put this, I will put it to use. I ain't think I was gonna have to put that to use. Joe and Ocho.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Oh, okay. Yeah, I bored y'.

[Joe Johnson]

All.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

I can make fun of you. I got, I got jokes, got that. That's a part of me.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

But when it comes time to get serious and we talk about a serious subject. Absolutely.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

Before we get to our super chats, we got four video voicemail from our discord. Let's take a listen to the first one. Great game from the boys today. A Tim Ram, the center back, Pulisic Balagun, obviously that last name, he's Nigerian, I believe, as well. It's a lot of players that could play for Nigeria, but Powers that Be. But Ulise in France, Saka Madueke, and I don't know if you know about a buddy from Ghana that can't play or whatever that be, but what you think about that? But I got Argentina winning the World Cup. I'm a big Messi fan. So who y' all got winning the World Cup?

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, man, that's tough. That's tough. I mean, hey, honestly, I. I would like for Portugal to win it. I want Portugal to win it. I want Cristiano, you know, to finally be able to hoist his trophy. So when the comparisons and then people talk about, you know, Messi and they talk about Cristiano. One of the few things that they, they go, they, they talk about is Messi obviously having a World cup, amongst other things that Messi does a little bit better than Cristiano, but I would love for Portugal to win this year. It's tough to be able to, to say who's going to win it, but it's probably going to be out of, out of the, out of the same teams, maybe England. This might be England's year. You know, they've been talking about it coming home for a very long time, only winning one World Cup. I forgot what year it was, but it could be them. So if anything, 1930.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

What, what was your did England win the World cup? Was it 1930?

[Joe Johnson]

Damn.

[Uncle Ocho]

I'm not sure what, what year, but I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm going with Portugal. I'm going with Portugal. 66.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

66oo. So I was. That's 60 years ago.

[Joe Johnson]

Damn.

[Uncle Ocho]

A long time.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

No, two years before I was born. Here's a look at our second one. I'm taking USA what's good Nightcap fam. Quick question here. Shout out to the chat.

[Uncle Ocho]

Quick question.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Ocho and ISO I know y' all

[Uncle Ocho]

say Fox is an 8, 9, 10

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

year vet and shouldn't make the mistakes he's been making in the playoffs.

[Uncle Ocho]

But can a moment be too big

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

for him as well due to his lack of experience in the playoffs or, you know, lack of championship basketball in the NBA? Can the moment also be too big for him? Although he is that 8, 9, 10 year vet, can it be a thing to where he just doesn't understand playoff basketball regardless of how long he's been in the NBA? Because we see OG won a championship with Toronto in 2019 and we see how he's balling. So I just wanted to know what y' all think about that. Y' all have nice day.

turned off news altogether.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything. It's the rage bait.

[Pharmaceutical Advertiser]

It feels like it's trying to divide people.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

We got clear facts. Maybe we can calm down a little.

[Commercial Announcer]

NBC News brings you clear reporting.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Let's meet at the facts.

[Narrator/Promoter]

Let's move forward from there. NBC News, reporting for America.

[Joe Johnson]

Me personally, I don't think the moment is too big for him, obviously, you know, with him making, you know, a few mistakes down the stretch. You know, maybe some will say that, but for me, I don't think so, bro. I'm not sure what he was thinking in some of those moments, especially the layup that he tried to take when you could just run the clock out. But like I've been telling y', all, Uncle Ocho, I don't think the man wanted to get up there on that line and shoot no damn, two free throws. I'm telling y'. All, y' all go look at Game 3, when they was back, when they was in New York and Castle made them two free throws down the stretch, Castle took the ball out. He threw it into Fox. Fox threw it back to Castle so fast, he like, hell no. I ain't gonna get up there and shoot these damn free throw. You shoot him. I'm telling you.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Go.

[Joe Johnson]

Look, man. So that's what made me think, like in game four, maybe he tried to hurry up and get the layup. He'd rather try to get the two points versus hold the ball and had to go to the line and make two shots.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

That's.

[Joe Johnson]

That's how I look at it.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yeah. Two things can be true. It's just that we've seen him make so many mistakes late in ball games. That's what's concerning, though, Ojo and Joe.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Is that he's a veteran player and he's making these kind of mistakes late in ball games. If it's not. If it's a one off. Yeah, you probably could, like. Okay.

[Joe Johnson]

But the thing is, even in game three, right before those free throws, he did make that big pull up in the paint. He did put that pull up jump shot. So it's not like he's just been horrible. It's just a couple bad decisions, bro. That's kind of that's been costly. That could have cost you the game. I mean, you could have won the damn game. So I think that's the biggest disappointment, bro.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

I think the thing also, Joe, is that when you got two evenly matched teams, it's gonna come down to a couple of places.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

I mean, for the most part, if you think about it, Joe, it ain't been no 20 point wins in either side. Even though I think the Knicks won the first game by 10. Yeah, that game was close until like the final 40, 30 seconds.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

And look at it was a what, A two point or one point win on game three. It was a, a one point win in game two. It was a, a what? A one point game. So the games have been close.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

And the funny part about it is too, Uncle Joe, everything is magnified. Everybody makes mistakes. Players make mistakes. Obviously now it's the grander. It's the grander stage, is the biggest stage. And obviously when you're playing in the finals, all about moments. And he's making, he's making the mistakes at the wrong moments.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yes.

[Uncle Ocho]

At the worst time, when you can make sad mistakes.

[Joe Johnson]

Right, right. They unfortunate, bro. I give them. They unfortunate. And they just was just heartbreaking mistakes. I mean, hell, I don't even feel like you should have even been in that position in the four in game four.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

You should not have.

[Joe Johnson]

They should have never been in that position.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Let's take a listen to the next one.

[Joe Johnson]

Unc, Ocho and ISO. You would not believe what happened during game four yesterday. So we were watching the game and our whole neighborhood electricity goes out. So we sitting there in the dark, we wonder. And I don't have the streaming on my phone, so I'm like, you know, I just refresh the scores on the website. So as I see the score goes down, I wonder what's going on. So, you know, eventually I found somebody who's trying to stream it on Tick Tock and I see what would happen at the end of the game, the last minute half of the game, and I seen the fox plays. But then guess what happened. By the time the end of the game happened, the electricity comes back on.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Maybe it wasn't meant for me to

[Joe Johnson]

watch in real time the second half of that whole game, but I couldn't sleep last night thinking about it and researching everything, figure out, see what went wrong. Oh, and by the way, we live in San Antonio. Oh, man. Hey, listen, listen, I'm not. Hey, look, I'm rooting for the spurs this series, but, man, Listen, spurs ain't my damn team. But, boy, I'm talking about. I feel. Hey, I hurt for him.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Oh, man, look, I could imagine. I mean, I. Joe, I empathize for you because I know how you felt with the. When they are the Falcons.

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, what you mean?

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

When they blew 28.

[Joe Johnson]

3.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

What you mean? What I mean?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, I'm saying, I. I was watching the game, but I. It wasn't like I'm a huge Falcons fan, you know, I root for them, but I. You know.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Oh, it was like when. When you watch the Cowboys losing the first round every year to the packers

[Joe Johnson]

and stuff like that. Okay, I get you. You got. You chill. You got chill. You got chill. I told you.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Joe Johnson]

Man came over here with his wife and kids, everybody dressed up in Atlanta Falcons gear, Julio Jones jersey. I'm talking about. They throwing a party in my house. Okay? OO Seen them folks in that second half.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

[Joe Johnson]

Man, that won't hurt, boy.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Here's our fourth one. Last one. Let's take a listen. What up, Joe?

[Uncle Ocho]

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, as Joe said, after I got

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

U. S walk into a top eight and anything can happen from there. The World cup gets wild. Gets wild. Expect the unexpected before the game. Paraguay is a great defensive team. This is going to be a grinder after the game. Paraguay is trash. They suck. This means nothing for the US the goal post moving is hilarious.

[Uncle Ocho]

I told you. Huh? What? What? I told you everybody would say because of who they playing. It don't mean not.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

These boys are playing some soccer. I'm amazed. American kids be slowly digesting this soccer shift over the years.

[Joe Johnson]

It's growing, it's growing.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

But you gotta understand. But I just think only a half they see American players in baseball, football and basketball, Ocho and they see the money that they making. Yes, Ronaldo and Messi. But you got. You probably got a hundred guys in the NFL or more making at least 10 million. Yeah, you probably got. You probably got 50 guys or more making 20 million in NBA.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, maybe 30. Yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

And in baseball. I don't even want to talk about those salary they got. Them guys got 700 million dollar contracts and 500 million dollar contracts and 400 million dollar contracts. Yeah, somebody say Ocho to 714 is the cheapest.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, see, that ain't bad, Joe. We can sit in the nosebleeds Hell, no.

[Joe Johnson]

I thought you said we were going to experience. I wonder what.

[Uncle Ocho]

No longer, Joe. It's gonna be experience no matter where you sit, boy. Haiti and Morocco, Why we got.

[Joe Johnson]

[Uncle Ocho]

Well, how much you want me to pay for the tickets, Joe?

[Joe Johnson]

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, Joe, you know how much I love soccer. Now, you know I ain't gonna play with that.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, all right. Okay.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Who makes it further, USA or Mexico?

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, that's a good question. Now, that, that. Now, that's a. That's a good. That's a great question.

[Joe Johnson]

Usa, Man. What are you talking about, bro?

[Uncle Ocho]

Damn.

[Joe Johnson]

You ain't got no faith in us, do you?

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, I. What are you talking about? Of course I got faith. Yeah, but I have dual citizenship. Hey, Joe, you hear me?

[Joe Johnson]

But you. You Mexican, you part Mexican.

[Uncle Ocho]

I have dual citizenship here, here, and, and in Mexico. So, you know, I. I root for both. You know, when they are playing, I'm kind of neutral. I'm on the fence when they play each other. But I think the usa, we have more quality, you know, at different positions. We have more players that can do more at different positions. If I'm not mistaken, I would. I would say Raul Jimenez is probably the best player. Who's. Who's the number nine? The striker from Mexico? They have some good quality around. They got a young. A young. I forgot the young boy name. About 17 years old. Played for Mexico.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

He got dudes still play for Mexico. He retired, huh? Yeah.

I'm Eddie Kane. You. You.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Oh. Yesterday's goal by rule Jimenez was an emotional one. He scored his first World cup goal, not only for after coming back from a fractured skull, but also his late father who passed recently.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, he's good. Very, very good striker. Very good striker. Played for Wolves. Right now he's playing in the Saudi league. He had a good season, so he's. He's an incredible form, and I'm glad to see him get his first goal today for the Mexican national team. Obviously, just losing his late father. It was emotional moment for him. First goal, especially on the biggest stage. So kudos to him and the Mexican team. I see you. I see you boys later. Later on down in. In the group stage.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah,

Messi is the goat, and it's not close. He's the most complete and won the most trophies. Pele never played against the best year in Europe, and Maradona Pete only lasted a couple of years. Ocho, you like Ronaldo? I mean, some people. I mean. I mean, it's 51.49. Sometimes it's 50, 50. Is it Ronaldo? Is it Messi?

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, hey. Honestly, when it comes to this conversation, Messi, Messy. Messy is the greatest song.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm just really, really.

[Uncle Ocho]

I know I play around a lot, and it's all about preference, but what Messi can do with that ball at his Feet, what he can do for. For the team that he's been on, whether it's Argentina, you know, whether it's down here, Inter, Miami now, or being able to see him at his peak and in his prime, even when he was young, you know, with Barcelona, you know, I seen him when he was a baby. He was a baby there when Eto' O and Ronaldinho were there. I watched him come up. I watched him, you know, on a national team. Argentini was wearing them, a 19. He wasn't even wearing the 10. So I've seen him from the beginning to where he is now, and, man, he's a sight to see. He's on the ball, being able to create, making everyone around him better, seeing everything two or three steps ahead, being through two or three steps ahead of everybody else, man, his visibility, his vision. I mean, it's unbelievable what he's able to do. But my preference is Cristiano, you know, as great as messages. And then it's no disrespect. I love the conversation, I love the banter, the debate, back and forth, forth. You know, I know he's won more trophies, he's won a World cup, but my preference, and knowing the game just as much as anyone else, you know, even if you watch soccer, even if you're on the other side of the world, and it's what you do and what you love. My preference is Cristiano, even though I understand how great Messi is.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Future performance tonight at the World cup was fire. I mean, they brought us some heavy hitters. They've been having some heavyweights perform.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, yeah.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Hey, you guys. Those hogs do it again. On the winning national championship track. Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Yes, sir.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Johnny Walkins, man, I don't know what happened to him in the 200. He slowed down. But the kid, Jaden reed ran. Ran 1963 in the 200. It was smoking. And the kid, Ja from Auburn, ran 970. It was two. Two plus two mile an hour wind, so it doesn't count.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, them boys. Hey, them people, them boys elite up there, boy.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Yeah. I mean, you got to think about, I mean, what Thorpe did at the 1275. The first collegiate to break a world record, to have a world record since the white stone, yeah, 50 years ago, and he broke the world. He went to set the world record in the hydro. This kid with 1275. This kid went 0.25 better than the world record. That's crazy. That is crazy. There's a reason why collegiates don't set world records. Because they run so much. If you notice, professionals, they pick their meats. They might run once every, you know, two, three weeks, so not to burn themselves out. And then a lot of times, they go specifically to try to set a world record. Yeah, this dude set a world record in the prelims. After all that running, indoor season, outdoor season, SEC meet, regional meet, national meets,

[Joe Johnson]

and, boy, be getting to it.

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Boy, they doing the thing. Yes. Look, I don't know. Coach McDonald, when he was at Arkansas Joe, I. I think he was there when you was there. And they. Look, they used to be. They had sprinters, obviously. They had a tight. The Tyson Gay. And they had a. What's the tall guy name? The guy. Forget his name. But anyway, they had him. But they had. They had distance runners. Yeah, that's what Arkansas get you. They'd have. Hey, they go, you know, get four guys that place in the 10,000 meters. Yeah, they cut you up. Wallace Spearman. That's the name. Wallace Spearman. But, hey, they back. They back. They back on top. They back on top of. Because for a second. Coach Holloway, kids in Florida, you know, Florida had a dominant track program.

[Joe Johnson]

I know. Hey, I'm telling y', all, I went to a few track meets when I was in college, bro. I never seen no atmosphere like that. Oh, my God. I'm talking about getting it.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, I be hype, man,

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

Hey, look, me and Joe. Me and Joe got the same.

[Joe Johnson]

No, no, no, hold on. But I'm saying, they. They ain't telling us nothing we ain't already know. We already know. Ocho was one, uncle's two. I already feel like y' all fighting for first.

[Uncle Ocho]

No, no, no. He talking about number one as far as shooting the basketball. When the time.

[Joe Johnson]

[Uncle Ocho]

[Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson]

[Uncle Ocho]

Don't listen to him, man. Joe. Joe is delusional. Just like he thought the Spirit first is gonna win the series.

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, here he go. They finna walk y' all ass down white.

[Uncle Ocho]
