Joe
Yeah, Joe, you're not beating a team. If you allow the team's bench to score 76 damn points, you're not beating them.
Ocho
Hey, will they do that again though? Will the bench be able to come out and have that kind of goddamn efficiency, man balling. The way they play, the way the bench played the other night, Joe and on.
Unc
Yeah.
Ocho
No other teams.
Joe
Yeah. But here. The problem that you have, Ocho, is that they outscored them by 32. They outscored them by 34. So even if they don't play like that, they're still outscoring them by 30. Plus. You give up 30 plus, you let the bench consistently outscore your team by 30, you're gonna lose. Yeah, you're gonna lose because your starters can't play but so much. And when you go to the bench, you find yourself coming back in. You're down 10, you're down 14. Okay. You cut it back. You go back to the bench, you find yourself back down them numbers again. So you're never playing from an advantageous situation. You're always playing catch up.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
And once they weather that storm, I gave you everything I had. And you know, she over there. I want some more, Daddy. Oh, no. What you mean? When do you expect this to happen? I mean Sunday. I'll see you Wednesday.
Unc
Yeah. I need a nap first.
Joe
I need a nap. I need a nap. About two or three meals in me to build back up. I got to recharge this battery. And so when you look at OKC and you look how they come at you in waves. McCain doing what he does. J Will doing what he does. Caruso has been there, done that. He's tried, true and tested.
Unc
So I. I guess the next step for the Thunder is who they start at the. At the. At the three. Since A.J. mitchell gonna be out. He out. You got Jalen Williams out. So there's two perimeter guys. You really plug him.
Joe
Caruso starting.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
Caruso gonna start.
Joe
Yeah. Caruso and Lou Dort along with Shay and the two bigs.
Unc
Yeah. Yeah.
Ocho
Hey, I'm glad you just said Crusoe's name. Hey, Joe, give me a better explanation. As great as he is, Caruso is defensively, hell, he do every goddamn thing.
Unc
Yeah.
Ocho
With the disadvantage in height, and they still put Caruso on goddamn Wimby. What's the reason for that?
Unc
It don't matter. It don't matter how big the dog is. It's how much fight he got in him. Yeah, Caruso got some fight. Oo.
Joe
Yes. And you got to look at. Look at. Wimby is not strong in his lower bodies, so he's at a disadvantage. Caruso is wiry strong. If you remember last year, they put Caruso on Jokic.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
And he did a great job of keeping him from getting where he wanted to go.
Unc
Yeah.
Ocho
Yogurt ain't got that kind of feet. He ain't got that kind of movement. So he. Damn. Now he not. Well, Listen, I don't want to be disrespectful like Wimby.
Unc
Listen, the. The smaller guys always, to some degree, has an advantage because he has lower leverage.
Joe
Right? He. Down here.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
He. You trying to push up top.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Down here.
Unc
It's hard, bro. And his feet is quicker than Wimby's, you know what I mean? So he can slide his feet. Stay in front of him. Keep him in front. And Wimby, yeah. Hell, he'll take a tough shot and make a tough shot over him. But you gonna live with that, bro.
Joe
Live with it?
Unc
Yeah. Versus. Versus him being out there winding Hardenstein up, driving by Hardenstein. And once he take off on that launch pad, what we gonna do with that? We can't do.
Joe
Not nothing. And. And as long as. And women haven't figured out consistently, once I get the ball up here, I don't need to bring it down here to Caruso sweet spot. I gotta just. Hey, I'm gonna keep it up here and turn and shoot over the top of you. Yeah. Every time he break it down, Caruso gonna get it.
Unc
Yeah. Yep. All he got. He still. He Obviously, at 22 years old, man, y' all know, he still got some maturity and policy.
Joe
So much to learn. Yeah. And he will be.
Unc
He will be great over the next 10 to 15, 20 years, however long he get a chance to play. You know, this is a learning curve for him, bro. But I know they want. They want to win in this learning process, but I just feel like with the experience that the Thunder have, understanding what they have to do now, you know, as far as the type of physicality that they have to bring to the game, there will be somebody else who will step up for the Thunder, I think, in order for them to win this game four.
Joe
I think the thing is, you gotta. You gotta try. I think if you go back and look, they did a great job for, like, the first half on Shea, and then he got going.
Unc
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
And when he got going now, like, damn, what do we do if we send the double. Guys are knocking down shot. Jay Will and knocking down shot. McCain is knocking down shots. Caruso is knocking down shots. Wallace is knocking down shots. So. Damn, man. I mean. And so. So what do I do, Joe? If I go one on one, I know Shay gonna Cook me if I help with Shay. Guys are knocking down shots. It's like, okay, we brought the double. It's like the Lakers. Lakers say, you know what, we gonna make sure give it up. Okay, he gave it up. But a Jay Mitchell. But A.J. mitchell couldn't miss.
Unc
Right? Right.
Joe
Caruso couldn't miss.
Unc
So now, I mean, you, hey, look, you. You got. But the spurs got defenders. It ain't like they've been playing bad defense. I think they've been playing in pretty damn good. I just think, yes, when you're a great player, you're gonna take and make tough shots.
Joe
Absolutely.
Unc
And that's what Shade. That's what Shea has been doing. He's been taking a lot of 17, 18, 19 foot jump shots right inside the three. Analytically they would say them are bad damn shots. But look, those shots are shots that he will be able to get every game, bro. He just has to make them.
Joe
But the problem is, Joe, that's a bad shot for most people. That is a sweet spot shot for him.
Unc
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
I'm saying like, ah, nah, nah, hey, this is where I want him. No, this is where he want to be.
Unc
Yeah, yeah. Listen, bro, I've been there, man. I'm talking about in the postseason to where it's so much attention on you if you get inside the damn paint. They sending the double so damn quick that you can't even turn your head fast enough to get off the ball. So you have to work on these long twos, long threes. And this is why you get guys like Dame Lillard and Steph Curry. They extended their range two, three, four steps beyond the three point line. So you have to respect them out there. Now if you come out here and guard me, I got all this real estate to come downhill and be able to work with. And I think for Shay, his three point game ain't like that yet. He'll make a three, but his two point game is so immaculate that he's able to get to his spots, pull up, and then he put him in that hucklebuck Ocho to where you start to go for these pump fakes. Okay, boom, I got you. Now let me get to the line, give me a couple free throws. Get a nice little rhythm. I done made two, three free throws in a row. Four free throws. Now this jump shot that opened up, now y' all at my mercy, you know what I mean? So now I done done done my job. Now if y' all started to bring the double team, okay, boom. Now you got check wide open for threes now you got the Wallace and the Carusos and J Dubs, you know what I mean? Now the floors opened up. So I, I think Shay understands that part.
Joe
Joe, God ain't finna give Shay the ability to shoot the three like goddamn Stephen. What the hell? Six, seven, and be able the way they could. Cause you gotta understand they, they two or three times through the leg and pull up in your face. That ain't really Shay's game. Shay's looking to sidestep. Yeah, and they all both off. Dame and, and Steph can sidestep, but the ability, the ability to handle the ball and shoot it like that from out there, man, he went like he'll win eight MVPs in a row. You can't let that man be able to. Cause just think about it. If you gave Dame, if you gave Dame Lillard with his ability to shoot the ball, if, if you gave him Shade's height.
Unc
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
If you gave Steph Curry his ability to shoot the ball, you gave him Shade height.
Unc
I can't say God ain't gonna give you anything.
Joe
Hell no. I mean, so you want, so you won't. You want Shaq, with his size and his dominance to be able to shoot 90% from the three, I mean from the free throw line and to be able to shoot a three point just, let's just say a 15 foot shot.
Ocho
That's not fair.
Joe
Shaq Davage, 50 easy. I can't give, you can't, I can't give him everything. I gotta take something. It's like AI. Just imagine if AI was 68, can handle the ball like he handling Cat quick like he was and play ball. God had to make him 6 foot, a buck 65. That ain't fair. Yeah, yeah, got, I got, look, he got to take something.
Unc
Yeah,
Joe
but I, I, the thing is, is that, you know, I've got to be able to live with something. I got to be able to live with something. So if I shut his water off, I got to be living, I got to be able to live with holes popping up elsewhere.
Unc
Too good of a team.
Joe
I got a leak somewhere.
Unc
They too.
Joe
But I know Shay is the main, Shay is the main source. I want to neutralize that as much as I possibly can. Because if I don't neutralize that, I ain't got no chance. I don't, I have no chance to be.
Unc
I, I think even though Shea is great, obviously two time mvp, one time champ, they just too good of a damn team. As good as he is I mean, you. You look at the guys who they. They've been having a different guy pretty much every game outside of him to step up and really help win games since game one. Like, they have a plethora of guys so they can throw at you and everybody. I mean, from top to bottom, bro, they know they roll. Do y' all know how many games have went by to where the big J Dub hadn't played? And you mean to tell me you throw his ass in there like this? Game three, hostile environment, and that man give you 18 points for what? Five for six from three. Come on, man.
Joe
And that's the thing. Joe, he came in out the rip. As soon as he came in, they left him open. He hit a shot. I'm like, well, damn. And I know they said, hey, let's see if he can make a couple, right? Well, he make a couple of those, he gonna get in the rhythm. And now you got hell on your hands. And then guess what? Jerry McCain come in. He's knocking it down. Wallace. Knocking it down. I think Caruso started 3 for 3 from the 3.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Caruso has been basically their second best player.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Because he's been the second most. Because he's. Shay's been the guy, but Caruso's been right there.
Unc
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
Because I said, joe, ain't no way he gonna make. He gonna keep stay this hot. He stayed that hot. From the three point, like, what. What's Caruso shooting from the three? He probably shooting 60 plus damn percent.
Unc
He probably. Yeah, yeah. He been hot. He been hot. He been hot. I'm looking. I'm looking for.
Joe
That's Ghost Pepper hot.
Unc
Yeah, yeah. I'm looking for check homer to step up, though, in game four. You know, I'm looking for him to be a little more assertive, you know, put his stamp on this series because he's an all star. He's a hell of a player. And hell, we acting like Chick ain't seven one, seven two.
Joe
Hell, well, he damn sure don't want to deal with that 7 5. Cause they got Caruso, they got everybody else dealing with it. And you first team, all the NBA. Ocho, how that look?
Ocho
Hey, you.
Joe
You the number. You are. You defensive player. You're a defensive player of the year candidate. You are all NBA. I mean, you are NFL defensive player, and all of a sudden, n. I ain't gonna deal with oo you. Hey, you go get n. Hell, nah. You get it.
Unc
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
Wow. Caruso shooting better from the three than he is from the two.
Unc
Hey, look for the thunder, though. An oo. Yeah, you don't want, you don't want check guarding right off dump.
Ocho
You.
Unc
I, I want Hardenstein guarding him off dump just so he can lean on and wear him down a little bit. Then, you know, in the second half, you'll start to see. Check on him a little more after, you know, you didn't kind of took some of his legs. I, I think that's the strategy that OKC is going with. And obviously, hell, since game one, you know, it's been pretty effective if you ask me.
Joe
Yeah, but I mean, Caruso shooting 61 from the three.
Unc
Hey, man, that's scorching, bro.
Joe
And, and, and, and, and, and a, a championship. I mean, think about it. I mean, the guy might have a game or two, but that's the regular season. He's shooting 61% from the 3 in a conference finals.
Unc
Listen, they have, they have a bunch of unselfish guys. Yeah, they have a bunch of guys who understand how to get the spots on the floor, meaning get inside that paint. We always talk about guys in basketball like you got guards who always can find a way and maneuver and finagle the defense to where they can always get inside the teeth of the defense. Man, you're gonna be pretty damn good because if you don't score, you're always gonna be able to create opportunities because the defense is always going to collapse and you'll be able to kick out for wide open threes and, and Caruso and Wallace and those guys, they've been recipients of a lot of that. That them great passes, bro. All they got to continue to do is keep making shots here.
Ocho
Hey, Uncle Joe.
Joe
Yes.
Ocho
Look at, look at how valuable Crusoe is, huh?
Unc
Yes.
Ocho
Give me a better understanding of what goes in coach's mind, what goes on in the mind of a gm and understanding how valuable this player is, especially the way he's playing in okc. What the hell was Polinka think about. What the hell do they think about when he was over there in Chicago? What would he do, huh?
Joe
Money.
Unc
Money.
Joe
Because you think he's showing you his value.
Ocho
Money shouldn't be a problem.
Joe
But they think. They think they can find the next guy. Well, we find. I think Caruso was undrafted free agent, wasn't he? So. Yeah, I. They feel. Ocho, we. We get this guys like this. You got you a nice little young lady. She nice. Coca Cola. Not the 2 liter either. Coke figure, you know, that's the slim bottle. Hard bottle. Yeah. Hey, got a. Got A nice head on the shoulders. Hey, do. Hey, whatever you need. Got you what we think. I found her. I found me another one.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Women think the silent thing. Yeah, I got you. I'll get me another one.
Ocho
Hey,
Joe
yeah.
Ocho
Hey, hey, hey. Joe and Unc, a lot of us have a problem overestimating our value and thinking we'll be able to find equal or better than.
Joe
Yeah,
Ocho
but that's guilty.
Joe
Guilty
Unc
by.
Joe
Hey, my grandma tell me all the time, boy, your eyes bigger than your stomach. Oh, hey, yeah, that's me. That used to be me.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Not realizing. Yes, sir. Is that when you find somebody and you with them for a period of time, they know you. Now, you would have to have somebody relearn you. You're gonna have to relearn them.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
All the things that, you know, maybe she overlooked. Now she might not overlook it.
Unc
Right?
Joe
Because guess what? The worst mistake we guys and gals can make is to believe that we're someone's only option.
Ocho
Hey, do me a favor, say that one more time for the people in the back that ain't hear you.
Joe
That is the biggest mistake that we can make, guys and gals, is that we believe that we are their only option.
Unc
Hey, hey, hey. Thinking. Thinking you ain't the only one trying to be the only one. Huh? Huh? Yeah.
Joe
Huh?
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
And you know, we got very similar taste when it come to women. Women that like, look like that got very similar taste when it come to men.
Ocho
Come on now, take your time. It ain't even Sunday. But go ahead and preach,
Joe
okay? You keep think you the only one, right? You know, you looking on.
Unc
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe
Okay.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
So Rob looking at, man, and he was unbelievable with LeBron. Look at. Go back and look at the Lakers when Caruso and LeBron was on the court along with AD go look at those plus minuses. Look at the a boy they get. Not in transition. Caruso could defend at a high level. Lebron could run the offense. Hey, they come to trap LeBron. LeBron kicking the. Caruso. Caruso knock it down. AD was back there.
Unc
Hey, but what starts to happen is with these championship caliber teams like okc and we talk about being dynasties, y' all know what happens. These other teams come in, they start to take a lot of your good role players. You know, you may have to overpay them a little bit, but that's okay. We gotta get them off your damn hands. You know what I mean?
Joe
Exactly.
Unc
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe
I tell you what, but that's the thing. We get that a lot. Teams do that all the time. Well, we found him. We'll find somebody else. I found her, I'll find me another her. I found him. I'll find me another him. But that process of relearning someone over again, man, and the thing that. What you spell like, man, I. I ain't gonna never put my. In the things that he or she will put up with in one relationship, that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to put up with it in another one.
Ocho
Hey, you know. You know what? The. The more options you have, Uncle Joe, the less tolerance you are for the man.
Joe
Yes.
Ocho
Well, you're gonna keep playing the game, hoping or thinking because of who you are or what you have going on that they ain't gonna put you through the same. And statistically, if you look at it, you can keep picking and keep picking and keep picking and think you're getting better and better and better. Well, it's just the same. It's covered up in gold.
Joe
Yeah, yeah, same.
Ocho
Just covered up.
Unc
Same one.
Joe
It might. It's either baked, it's fried, it's roasted, but it's still food.
Ocho
Same thing. And only the only people that have that, that are experienced in those areas that have done it over time throughout the years will understand what I'm talking about.
Joe
Ocho, the mistake is you. I got me. Hey, ain't nobody, oh, nobody know about this one, okay?
Unc
Right, right.
Joe
Because you hadn't seen her with that. But don't think you ain't found the gold mine. She might have been a gold mine, but I guarantee you somebody extracted some of that gold from that.
Unc
Yes, sir.
Joe
I'm. Stop. I'm going. I ain't going. That's it. Joe, don't you. I'm done. That's all. That's it. That's it. That's it. I'mma keep it. I'm keeping it real with you because
Ocho
I know how to hit you in church. You know how to hit the preacher in church when you preach.
Unc
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
Joe
I'm telling you, because when you sit down and talk to.
Unc
Hey, hey.
Joe
You know, hey, we gonna take this thing a little serious, okay? I mean, what. You ever talk. You talk to anybody that, you know, play professional sports?
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Well, one time, you know, I had y'. All. I'm walking. Hold on, hold on. How long ago was this time? Yeah, I'm telling you.
Unc
Yeah, man. You see it a lot, bro. You see it a lot. You see. I mean, I've seen so much, man, from teammates having girlfriends Who. Whom I've already seen was somebody else. But, you know, you keep a closed mind. They ain't got nothing to do with me.
Joe
They ain't nothing to do with me.
Unc
Ain't none of my damn business.
Joe
They got nothing to do with me.
Unc
Yeah, it ain't got nothing. Ain't none of my business.
Ocho
Hey, you know, it's funny, too, Joe, when you think about it. You know, there's a saying. They always say, regardless. Regardless of sport you play, it seemed like all the athletes date the same 35 girls. Same ones, the same.
Joe
Because you know why?
Ocho
Always seem to always keep someone in the roster that plays a sport, whether it's basketball, you know, whether it's NFL. It's just. They mlb, same ones.
Joe
Y' all sleep right now. Because y' all don't. Y' all don't. I'm telling you, you sleep on the MLB players don't do that.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Don't do
Ocho
mlb.
Joe
Look here, man. Okay. Hey, look here. And you. You say, man, why is it about the end of the player they date the same 3550? Because those same 3550 are in the same places that those MLB, NFL, and NBA players are in the mix. Yeah. So they have access. The reason why you can go pull out 30, 40, $50,000 out your account, because you have access to that. They have access to that. So when they're at Harriet's or Delilah's or that these top live. Who you think's in there?
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
And who let the doorman. Who they letting in there? God. Going in there, baby.
Unc
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
Get on up in there.
Unc
Yeah. They just got to be in the vicinity. They got to be. They in the place.
Ocho
That's all they take on, Joe.
Joe
That's it, man.
Unc
Stop playing. You already know what's going on.
Ocho
Come on, Joe.
Joe
You know, I don't got to. I don't got too old, but it was upon a time I was a lead dog.
Unc
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
I'm just on the porch up. Hey. I'm like my old man, my grandfather, Grandma. Grandpa, grandfather, Grandma. They on the porch. Hey.
Ocho
Rocking back and forth like you in the color.
Unc
Hey, hey. And in basketball, we sit over there on that bench, you know, five minutes left in the game. Let's say we up 20, 30. Hey, hey. Cats. Go to picking. Go to picking your girl off, man. You see shorty up there? Six row up there? Don't look right now, but she in the sixth row up there. She up there.
Joe

Joe
Hey, hey, hey, Joe, man, I saw her. She used to date, man. She used to date. Oh, I wonder. She still ask if she still would? Nah, she said they bit good enough. Yeah, I didn't know him like that.
Ocho
Hey, Joe, them boy be sniping from the bench, huh?
Unc
Man, what you talking about, Ocho? Hey, it ain't nothing to sit over there on the bench and just scan the arena. You just sitting over there, scan in and like. Yeah, you may.

Take your time. What we talking about?
Joe
Another dude doesn't move then. But anyway, we move it on. Ant man has also responded to the backlash of him dabbing up spurs players with eight minutes left. Let's take a listen to what Ant man had to say about this. They were trying to make, you know, a big deal. If you laughing them up at the 8 minute mark, tell us why you did that.
Ant Man
I mean, it was no reason why, like, everybody just. I feel like everybody just got their own opinion. Like, yes, eight minutes in the game, but we not going back in the game. When you win a playoff series, everybody's celebrating at the end of the game, like, so they gonna be smiling while we. Where I'm pissed off and we just lost. So I was just like, let me go and congratulate these boys because I ain't trying to be kiki with y' all after y' all don't whip my ass. I didn't want to go down at all. Like, then what they would have been saying about me, like, that would have been a whole nother conversation. So I gave them the respect they deserve, man. Like, I could have waited to the end of the game. That's what. That's other people perspective. But yeah, I did what I did.
Joe
Everybody knows Shaq, but off camera, he's just a regular guy.
Shaquille O'Neal
People never believe me when I say I'm just like them. I take out the trash, do dishes, and I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or osa. And a lot of adults with obesity also struggle with moderate to severe osa. You know, those scary breathing interruptions during sleep, the loud snoring, choking, and daytime fatigue. I knew I had to talk to my doctor. Don't sleep on the symptoms. Learn more more at don't sleep on

harmony some journeys invite you to see a place. Others invite you to see yourself differently. On Wayfinder Life changing travel, we chase the kind of destinations that pull you all the way in. In a special episode sponsored by Reef, a trip to Morocco invites Preeti to wander widely and experience it all.
Wayfinder Travel Host
There are people who want to go to Tahiti because they just want to lay on the beach and that's great. And then there are some people who feel really bored with that. For those people, I would recommend a destination like Morocco because you can do so many different things from ATVs to sandboarding to hiking to a hot air balloon to a cooking class to a traditional hammam. Every destination that we were going to within Morocco, we were experiencing something new.

Unc
Yeah, it ain't. You know,
Joe
there's no easy way when somebody kicking your ass to accept things, to. To accept defeat. Ain't no easy way other than to go do it. Now. Football is different. Yes, obviously, you know, in basketball, Joe, y' all right there because a lot of times, hey, we just gone. I mean a lot of times guys know each other, but like you said, I Ain't want to be Kiki kid bro. Because if I'm, if I'm smiling, they're gonna say, well, I ain't taking that serious. Yeah, yeah, I did what I did. He already accepted defeat, bro. We down 30 with eight minutes to go. Ain't no coming back from that. So there's no, there's no, there's no easy way for Ant man to. I guess they didn't want the, the situation with Isaiah where he doesn't shake the guy's hand and things of that nature.
Ocho
Hey, that's, hey, that's one of those situation, Uncle Joe. Damn if you do. Damn if you don't.
Joe
Yep.
Ocho
Then obviously all the, all the, all the talking heads, all the ponants, all the analysts say, oh, it's a sign of weakness to have your, your leader, you know, eight minutes before a game, shaking your opponent's hand and just get it out the way. But obviously Ant had his explanation for it. And you know how he feel. He don't really care. He gonna continue to do it his way and march by march to the beat of his own drum.
Unc
Yeah, he. I, I think it ain't that.
Joe
I don't.
Unc
I wouldn't say that he don't care. I think he has so much respect for the spurs and how they competed against them and basically how they whoop their ass. If you just want me to keep it 100 that, you know, after them series, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a key, key thing after they done beat you. Yeah, they happy, they celebrating, they moving on. You know, you just wanna. As soon as the buzzer in Ant man thinking, man, I just want to get my ass up out of here. I mean, so I'm gonna take the initiative to just go and dap these boys up now. But, yeah, I know, man. Old school cats. It was never like that, bro.
Joe
You know, you ain't.
Unc
As a matter of fact, damn old school. You ain't never seen nobody go dab Nobody up with 7, 8 minutes left on no clock, you know what I mean? So I can see the drawback that he's getting from it. I can understand that part, but I can see it from his perspective as well.
Joe
The thing is, you bet. If you up like that, you better get your ass out the game. Stay still, be in the game. And y' all up 30 points and see what happened to you. See what happens.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Oh, oh, you still in here, huh? Y' all ain't winning by enough. Okay, okay. Hey, and it's different. Ocho, you know us. I mean, look, I'm coming to the A. Whoever I know. Hey, man, good game. Good luck. Hey, stay healthy, y'. All. Go win this thing. I'm out.
Unc
Yeah, I'm out. He wanna hit me.
Joe
Hey, I ain't all that. You don't beat. Hold on. You don't beat me, even if you my friend, you don't beat me
Unc
because it's hard. It's hard in the moment when emotions are high. You know what I mean? Like, damn, bro, we didn't got our ass kicked on our home floor like this. Like, I ain't really got no worries when this buzzer go off, man. Just let me get in that shower, get my ass up out of here, and get home.
Joe
Yeah, y', all, definitely that's the best thing for you to do. Because if you play my team and you've been talking. Cause I'm on the field. Hey, I need to go out there for the. Kneel down for the meal now. I need to be out there. Ocho. Whoa, whoa, whoa. All that talking. Oh, oh, big mouth Sharp ain't gonna get nothing. No, man, shut up, man. Hey, I. I tell you what. Whoa, whoa. Ain't no. No more fighting. You had 59 minutes and 50 seconds to fight. Now you want to fight after the game?
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Nah, nah. I'm gonna talk now. Now, what you got to say? See, I'm gonna rub it in. I'm that type. I'm a sore loser. I'll be the first to admit that. But I'm a worse winner. Oh, boy. Don't you let me win. Don't you let me win. And you've been talking. Craving.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Oh, man. Yes. You're gonna want to fight me, and I ain't stopping, punk. Oh, I'm asking.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
I'm telling you, don't let me win.
Unc
Hey, that's why you got cats. I'm saying. Wait. I mean, as far as the winning part, I ain't like that. But I'm a damn sore loser. That's why I work hard as. I don't know what. Because I hate losing, bro. Yeah.
Joe
Yo, if you think about. If you hate losing, I'm worse at winning. I'm worse at that. Oh, yes. Cause I'm gonna talk. I'm gonna make it hurt.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Cause you shouldn't have been running your mouth. You have so much to say at the start of the game. Why you not talking now? You mad? Oh, ask the boys about the Steelers. We beat them in the championship game in Three Rivers. Man, shut up, boy, I swear. You ain't finished. Swing nothing. You finish. Swing your ass off this field. Yeah, look, we need to celebrate. We need the whole field to celebrate. And we need y' all out so we can bring our little five. Little, you know, 5,000 fans to celebrate with us. Now get your ass off this field. Man, please, man, I don't. I. I don't know how. Joe, I'm gonna be honest. I'm trying to think playoff game. What's the worst. Oh, we beat. We got be. Oh, man. Lord have mercy. My last game I ever played, man. Andy beat us so bad.
Unc
Yeah.
Ocho
Who the quarterback was Peyton, man.
Joe
Marvin Harrison probably had, like 150. Brandon Stoke. Go look up the wild card game. Broncos against the Colts, 2004. It was like Dallas Clark was there, huh? Boy, they beat us so bad. Perfect. Peyton might have had a perfect quarterback rating. I mean, Joe Ocho, man, when I say they beat the brakes off us, I don't know if I've ever got beat that bad. That's what I knew. That's what I knew. I was like, oh, yeah, Peyton probably had, like, 380, 350, 380, like four touchdowns. Cause I think Brandon Stokely had two. Oh, he had 377. See?
Unc
Damn.
Joe
Five touchdowns. Damn. Marvin Harrison, how many.
Ocho
Seven catches for 133 and two touchdowns.
Joe
Marvin had seven for 133 and two touchdowns. Brandon Stoker might have had more than that. Brandon Stokely had four, 444 and. And two touchdowns.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Oh, they cooked. Hey, but I'm tell you what I did, y'. All. I knew this gonna be my last game. I said, you know what? I might have never get another chance to shake Peyton hand. Dabbed him up. I was out.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Probably had, like, three.
Ocho
Five for 31.
Joe
Five for 31. Man. At my back, man. Look here. And I ended up having to get two epidurals, man, my back was so jacked up. Oo.
Ocho
And Joe, well, you. You. Your back was messed up from lifting heavy, huh?
Joe
No, my back was. My back was messed up because I was getting old. That was. My back was messed up for. Nah, I slept. I slept wrong with something, and it just would. It just would. It just would not. It spasmed up, and it just would not let go. I mean, I don't know if anybody ever had back spasm, but it. That's it. It ran into my sciatic sciatica,
Unc
man. That's sciatica. Ain't nothing to play with.
Joe
I was driving like this here Ocho
Ocho
sitting sideways like that.
Joe
But hey, somebody. But we. I didn't pick up something in back and have to lay on the floor, man. But I end up having to have two epidurals for that.
Ocho
Hey, how you. How you got rid of your cicadas?
Joe
I got epidural. Had two epidurals. I had ended up having to go to a doctor, and they injected me twice. First time it didn't. It didn't do because it had gotten so bad. And then they come back in there, they put. Put you under that machine, pinpoint it, a big needle, sciatica. I told you, it's sciatica. Circadias are an insect that comes every so often. Sometimes you have a 17 year cicada and. But a sciatic is a nerve. No, you said circadian.
Ocho
Hey, Joe, you. You had us.
Unc
Nah, sciatica. Nah, nah, I ain't had Ocho. Nah, nah. Yes, but I had. I had a. I got a. I had a homeboy who had it. And it would be times he couldn't even play like, you know, he walk in like he's just a sharp shooting pain down his leg.
Joe
Yes.
Unc
Yeah. He said he couldn't. He couldn't even play. Who had it?
Joe
Bron missed all that time.
Unc
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Joe
Bron missed 15 games to start the season with.
Unc
Yeah. That's what Braun had to start the season.
Ocho
This. This season. That's what it was.
Joe
Yes.
Ocho
Hell, no.
Joe
When he was in Miami, he missed those two, three weeks. Yes. Man, that thing will tell you. Whoa. Have you. Have you walking sideways.
Unc
Ain't no worse than that.
Ocho
I wonder what that. What that's from, huh? They got to be a. A reason.
Joe
You have a pinch, you have an impingement on a nerve, and sometimes you can't. You can't control body function. You pee on yourself, you poop on yourself. What? What? Yeah, absolutely.
Unc
That must be a severe case.
Joe
Yes, yes.
Unc
Damn. But you know what, what's funny is I have a lot of people who come to my yoga studio who have sciatica and they come in there to put, you know, put their heat on there. Heat it up, stretch it out.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
You try to do. You try to open. You try to open it up.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
And that's why you try to keep your core tight.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Try to keep that prayer, you know, keep. Because everything, your body is like an automobile and it works in unison. And when everything is working harmonious, everything goes good. But if the rear end, you get a flat tire and you keep driving around on that flat tire, or you put the donut on there, you're only supposed to go X amount of miles on that donut, but you keep going. And now all of a sudden, it's going to mess up your front end.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Then all of a sudden, your rear end is going to be messed up. That's how your body function. If everything is not an ankle or knee or hip, it's gonna throw something out, and the next thing you know, you effed up.
Unc
Gotta take maintenance on that body, bro. Yeah. You start overcompensating, next thing you know, here, you're gonna hurt something else.
Ocho
Hey, Joe, you ain't give me the little vitamins you told me to take, right?
Unc
Oh, you trying to get you some vitamins.
Ocho
And, I mean, y'. All. I mean, listen, I. I ain't never had no issue with my body or none, but I'm gonna. I'm test it out.
Unc
Well, I mean, if it ain't. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You know, you. You seem to be doing pretty damn good.
Ocho
Yeah.
Joe
Yeah.
Ocho
Yeah. I'm just. I'm just trying to beat it to the point just in case something creep up on me. Joe.
Unc
Hey, how'd it go today?
Joe
Then you.
Unc
Then you have a.
Ocho
Hey, Joe. Hey. Hey, Joe. Hey, boy. Your boy had eight today, boy.

Hey, them boy begins the money. We played against, obviously, here in Knoxville. I'm assuming it's like an AAU team and some of the players, you know, some going to Tennessee. Joe. It wasn't nobody on the court maybe about three people shorter than. Goddamn. Six, six, six, six, seven, three. And obviously, I'm one of them.
Joe
Eight turnovers, three rebounds, Joe. That's the. That's the 80 head.
Unc

Ocho
That's Unc making up numbers, Joe.

Yeah, I'm gonna tell, I'm gonna tell Teach. I'm gonna tell me that thing, they record everything.
Joe

Ocho
Hey, hey, don't be, don't be hating on my little eight.
Joe
Send the video because you, you hit me earlier.
Unc
I hit you back, but you ain't answer.
Ocho
Oh, I would hit you when I was in front of everybody so they could tell you what I would get. I would get to the money on what?
Joe

Unc
Hey, yeah, well, I'm waiting for the footage. I'm waiting.

Ocho
Hey.
Joe
Huh?
Ocho
I know I'll be on here talking trash, but it's a different ball game when you got somebody in front of you. Six, eight, six, seven. Yeah, get around that way, man. Listen here. Yeah, hey, but I had to hit a U turn a few times.
Joe
How tall you think Joe is?
Ocho
Oh, I mean, in front of me. Joe by six one.
Unc
Okay. Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. I'm gonna make his ass respect me.
Joe
You go, hey, hey.
Unc
You gonna keep my name out your damn mouth. That's what you gonna do.
Ocho
Hey, everybody tell you something. The world gonna call me the ISO Stopper boy when we done, boy, you hit me.
Joe
The ISO Stopper.
Unc
The ISO Stopper man, please.
Ocho
But, but all jokes aside, it is put the game just in general because you know, I don't, I don't who. I don't play basketball. But being on that court with them damn trees like that, I already know how in the hell Jalen Brunson and all the dudes that are. That, you know, whether you play above the rim or not. But if you six, three and under,
Joe
the hell you play with these dudes?
Unc
Hey, you know them dudes? Them guys six, three and under Ocho, they. They know how to use their bodies, you know? Hey, hey, when we talk, when me, you and Unc talk about football, you know, you, you. You a footwork guy. You ain't really trying to let nobody get their hands on you. You ain't trying to let nobody touch you.
Joe
Oh, no. And.
Unc
And in basketball, you at your size, you're gonna have to be a little physical. You gotta take some contact to be able to finish over them big guys. It's just part of it.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's me, that's me. That's me. Yeah. I like, I like it, I like it. I had a good time. I had a good time. That was fun, though. Hey, Knox. Hey. You knew Knoxville was small Tennessee. Yeah, small, small little town, boy.
Joe

Ocho
Hey, hey. People nice as hell, boy. People real nice.
Joe

Ocho
Real nice.
Joe
Yeah, it's a college town. Kelsey Plum for the season high 38 points. Erica Wheeler had three point. I'll go ahead three point shot, three pointer. Late in the fourth quarter of the LA Sparks defeated the Las Vegas Aces, 101 to 95. Las Vegas, the reigning WNBA champ saw their four game winning streak in. The Aces had won 20 of their last 21 regular season games after finishing the 2025 regular season on a 16 game winning streak. Man, I showed. I show. Hate to see my girl go kp. Man, she nice that left it man, she'd be doing it. She be getting to the money.
Unc
They got. They had too many damn guards, huh?
Joe
They did. Well, you know you got, you got, you know you got Jackie, you got Chelsea. But Jackie, I don't know what's Jackie been on lately? This, I think this might be the second game. Jackie's going scoreless.
Unc
Yeah, but hold on, what's the new guard they got over there? A little light skinned girl.
Joe
Oh, Kennedy Carter. Oh, she'd be Kennedy Carter like that.
Unc
She been getting to it, boy.
Joe
Yeah, yeah. I don't know I don't know why Chicago let her, let her go, but oh yeah, she's been a godsend.
Unc
Yeah, she let him in scoring perfect
Joe
from the three point line. Joe, eight or 13, she had 23. Jewel Lord had 10. But Jack, I don't know what's going on with J. Anybody know what's going on? Is she injured? Cause I think Jackie, this might be the second game Jackie Young is going scoreless. Or she might have had one point or two points the last game. She ain't herself. Asia gave you 24 and 15. Melissa Smith gave you 22. Chelsea, Chelsea, grade the point. God, she gave you 12. But I don't know what's going on with Jackie Young.
Unc
Hold on. So the Carter, the Carter girl, she been coming off the bench getting money like that?
Joe
Okay, what you say?
Unc
Oo a Joe, The Carter girl, she been coming off the bench. I thought she was starring. She been coming off the bench the whole time?
Joe
No, she come out the bench.
Unc
She getting money, boy.
Joe
Yeah, yeah. I don't know what's up. She was out of the league last year, right? Ken Kennedy Carter. Yeah, she cuz she played. She played. She fights to not Joe, I mean. Yeah, she get after you. Yeah, you know, remember that? I think she had dusted when they had the hard file on Caitlyn. Right, she had the hard file on Caitlyn. Caitlin Clark and she went overseas, she came back, she's been a great pickup. Yeah, she leading all players off the bench this year in scoring.
Unc
Hold on, did they just, did they just get.
Joe
Yeah, they said Jackie is dealing with a death in the family. So that's why her, her play has been a little subpar because she's phenomenal.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
And that's, you know, that's why I said that. Is that because I'm looking at her numbers and I'm like, that ain't like her. She can defend, she could score the basketball. She's a phenomenal player. That explains it. She's got some things going on. That's right. Now that's bigger than basketball that's impacting her play.
Unc
Hey, hey, but if you. Kelsey Plum, boy, you loving, you loving giving them girls hell though. Give them 38. Your former team. Yeah, yeah. Cause I'm sure, I'm sure she probably wanted to stay in Vegas. I mean they had a nice squad.
Joe
But, but like you said, Joe, I mean the only. She's the, she's the, she's the, she's the guy now. Yeah, you know, I'm just.
Ocho
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe
Yeah, she's the guy. Now when you got Asia, when you got Chelsea, you the third option.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
She said I need to be a number one option. Yeah.
Unc
Yeah, because she.
Joe
Hey, she could flat out score because remember before Caitlyn Clark broke her, she had the most points in women's college basketball hil. History.
Unc
Sure did.
Joe
And that lefty, she can get to the money. She can get to it. She can shoot it. Hey, she got. She can shoot the three ball. She got a nice midi and you talking about put it on the floor and get to the rim.
Unc
Yeah.
Joe
Oh, absolutely.
Unc
Oh yeah. I watched her play in the. The rival league when they were playing one on ones.
Joe
Yeah.
Unc
And she. She. She was getting money. She. Obviously she didn't win it, but she held her own in there. Yeah, she nice.
Ocho
Hey, Joe, you were just at a game recently, huh?
Unc
Yeah, man. I wanted to watch the Dream. I took my daughter yesterday. We wanted to watch the Dream play. We left. We had to leave at halftime. Cause the, the. The game came on like right at half. I thought the. I thought the dream played at 6:30.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unc
And I thought the. The spurs and the Thunder was gonna play at 8:30. So that was a two hour. I was like two hours. We probably leave me and four quarter. Yeah, the Dream didn't play the 7:30. So we left at halftime. But it was right. They were kicking them girls butt. The Dream kicked they butt.
Joe
Yeah, but no but, but, but Plum is unbelievable. I hate to see a go too. I hate to see her go. She got. And she got a great personality. She's awesome. You know, being, you know, going to a game and talking to see it. Talking to her and Chelsea after the game and Asia, it's just. It's just great to see him. They still got a good team now. They got a good.
Unc
Oh yeah.
Joe
I mean I think they're going to be there. They're going to be there when it's all said and done. I think the Liberty they got sat to Saali. They brought her over Inescu's back. You know, Stewie is. Stewie Jean Quail coming off an injury. She's gonna. They're gonna. They're gonna be. They're gonna be where they need to be when it's all said and done. But I'm not. I'm not overly concerned with the Aces. They're four and two. The. The strange thing is that both of the games they've lost have been at home. Remember they got blown out by the Mercury the first game.
Unc
Yeah, yeah.
Joe
But I could Understand that. They got the ring ceremony. They all that bling in my eye. I can't see y' all go do what y' all gonna do. But this game right here, y' all know KP was gonna come back on a mission.
Unc
Oh, yeah.
Joe
KP was coming back on a mission, and she got the job done. So congratulations, K.P. sparks, but aces. Y' all be back.
Unc
Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
Olivia Miles is an elite company to start her rookie season. The number two overall pick is the fifth player in WNBA history to average 15 points and five assists through her first six career games. Obviously, Caitlin Clark did it in 2024. Sabrina Unescu did it in 2020. Candace Parker did it in 2008. Candace Parker also was defensive player of the year, and she was an MVP in a rookie season. Sue Bird did it way back in 2002, and now Olivia Miles done has done it. 15 points, five assists, five rebounds, 1.5 steals for the four and two links, who are tied for the third in the league standing. Hey, she was on that. She was at. Started out at Notre Dame, her and Hana Hgo. She ends up transferring, going, I think, going to tcu. But, no, she. She's. She's a phenomenal player. She can do it all.
Unc

Joe
She's the triple double waiting to happen.
Unc
Hey, hold on, Ocho. You talking about a bop bop, man, this girl here got some real game, bro. Oh, yeah, I'm talking about. She got a real handle, Ocho.
Ocho
She can.
Unc
Hey, she's super crafty. I enjoy watching the play. I enjoy watching her play. What, she was at TCU or something?
Joe
Tcu? Yeah, she started out at Notre Dame and ended up going to tcu.
Unc
Yes, yes. She. Hey, I watched her get money, bro. She looked good out there. I think when I. When I watch, you know, whether it's men or women's, I'm. I'm looking for, especially when you're a ball handler. Are you comfortable under pressure? And, man, when I tell y', all, she got that thing on the string, that girl out there handling that rock, getting to where she want to get to. She nice. She's nice.
Joe
But they beat the Link. Excuse me. The Links beat the sky 85, 75. Carmila Cardoza led the way for the sky, 17 points. Skylar Diggins had 13. Gabrielle Haquez, who's on the national championship team, she struggled a little bit today. One of four from the three, one of eight from the field. But, yeah, Miles. Miles like that. They got a nice little squad. Yeah, nice little squad. Minnesota does yeah yeah.
Unc
Minnesota do they gonna be they're gonna be pretty good.
Ocho

Ocho

Shaquille O'Neal
People never believe me when I say I'm just like them. I take out the trash, do dishes and I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or osa. And a lot of adults with obesity also struggle with moderate to severe osa. You know, those scary breathing interruptions during sleep, the loud snoring, choking and daytime fatigue. I knew I had to talk to my doctor. Don't sleep on the symptoms.
