Argentina came from behind, scores twice in six minutes against England to reach the World cup trailing one nothing going into the 85th minute. Enzo Fernandez substituted for Lotado, Lutado, Martinez both scored. Messi had largely kept quiet until he fed Fernandez to equalize from outside the box in the 85th minute. And with two minutes of stoppage time, Messi said across to Martinez winner. Completing two assists in the 21 victory. Guess what, Ocho?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yes sir.

[Uncle Joe]

He just won the Golden Boot.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, I mean, listen.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh yeah, because he got eight goals and what, four assists now?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah. Hey, hey, can I tell you something just to talk about this real quick. For those of you in the chat that didn't watch the game, Joe and Unc, I mean obviously you watch the game. England dominated the first. Hey, listen, let me finish the first 58 minutes of the game. And Joe, they dominate the game. Upon that domination and attacking effort from them, they happen to score a goal, right?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

They score a goal, you know what their head coach decided to do?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

What's that?

[Uncle Joe]

Park it.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

We gonna park the bus. Change the formation, change the tactics and just play defense. They changed the formations to a five, four, one up top, by himself, five people in the back, another layer, four players. And that's what they decided to do. So what we're going to do is we're not going to play to Win the game. We're not going to keep attacking. We're going to sit back and hope we can withstand whatever pressure they apply. And lo and behold, look what happens.

[Uncle Joe]

That's too early to go into prevent defense.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Thank you.

[Uncle Joe]

We understand that, you know, prevent. A lot of times it prevents you from winning the game. But I understand you don't want to give up anything, guys. You don't want to give up anything. We have a saying, Joe, in football. Nothing cheap, nothing deep, right? We get a lead. Nothing cheap, nothing deep. But you can't play like that. The second damn quarter,

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

you know how much time left on the clock at the 58 minutes? 60 minutes.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

How much time left in the game?

[Uncle Joe]

You still got damn near 40 minutes. Because if stoppage, you got to feel you're going to have somewhere between four and eight minutes of stoppage time.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

So you figure you got at least 40 plus minutes to go with. With 58 minutes on the clock, you got at least 40 minutes.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

They.

[Uncle Joe]

I don't know why they did what they did. Argentina has eliminated England from the World cup in dramatic fashion. Once again. Add 20, 26 to the 1986 Hand of God Ball from Diego Maradona.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Maradona.

[Uncle Joe]

The 1998 David Beckham Red card game. Joe. You go to the game, Joey, right there in your neighborhood.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

No, I didn't go. I didn't go, Uncle Ocho. But man, Argentina has been exciting to watch, you know what I mean? They. I mean, because they're very good at scoring, you know, in opportune times, Uncle Ojo. And this was a classic game of that, bro. Hey, just when you think you can count their ass out, boy, they come through some way somehow. I'm like, how in the hell. Hey, Ocho.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, the goat.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Debate that shit out the window, partner. I mean.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hey, Joe, you hear me? Listen, listen. I mean, that, that's for you. I mean, listen, the goat.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

No, no, no, no, no, Listen, listen, I want you to understand something. I want you to understand something, Ocho. I'm watching Messi, bro. He pretty much played on that right side pretty much the whole game. Yeah, and you know, when we talk about grace, Uncle Ocho, we talk about guys who can make the game easier for the guys around them. Yeah, because of all the attention and attraction that he causes in the game, bro, he ain't score a damn goal. But them two damn passes he made, especially that second one where Buddy got the header.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah,

[Uncle Joe]

it's just like he thought, hey, there you go.

[Tab Ramos]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey, had the ball into the net.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hey, he put it where only his man can get to it. Listen, he's one of the best, Uncle Joe. I understand how great he is, Joe. I, I get it, I get it. Now again, as great as Messi is, and I, I, I say it all the time, Many, many, you know, say he's the goat. But I, I, I, I would never move off of my preference of style of play and what crime years, you know, he's still the preference for me. But Messi is undeniable. He's undeniable. And I never say anything bad about him. I understand his greatness. I, I get it.

[Uncle Joe]

I don't know what you could say if you wanted to say something bad. Yeah. In order to get a decent height.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

That's really the only thing you can't say to back he, he was going to be, he was going to be really undecided. I think they said his height, had he not did what they did, right. Kind of gonna be like 410. And I think he ended up getting what, five, six, right? Five, seven.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah. So, hey, Joe, he's short, Joe. Hey, when he on that, when he on that pitch.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah. I mean, I mean, when you think about it, bro, it's like, it's like something just happens for Argentina, like the last 10, 15 minutes of the game, last three games.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hey, hey, I think they doing that shit on purpose, honestly.

[Uncle Joe]

What, you think they can.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

I think Argentina, they purposely say, you know what? In the first half against England, they was out there playing football.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

They was out there talking about physical knocking people over. They were knocking, you know, junk up out each other. It's like it wasn't even a soccer game, like damn near WWE second half come. I think Argentina purposely plays football. Like not meaningful football. Not meaningful football. You know what? And they sit back and say, messi go say, you know what? Okay, now it's in the 80th minute. We gave Egypt a two, a two zero lead. Two nil lead. We gave England a one nil lead. And for some reason in all these games. All right, now, you know what? We gonna play ball now. We're gonna play ball. I think they do it on purpose, man.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I, hey, hey, I don't know, bro, but I know.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean, the game against Cape Verde, Joe, was unbelievable.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, man.

[Uncle Joe]

The game against Egypt, the game against England.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

The team that's looked the best against Spain happened to be Cape Verde.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

The first game. Now, obviously, teams get better and better as they play. I don't know if they played again, it would be a very similar outcome where it's a Neil, Neil tie. But Argentina, it's just something. You know what it's like when you have that great quarterback, Joe, you know, no matter how bad the situation is, you know, if you just can make one play, you can flip the momentum and you got that guy and it's not a hope. We know, we believe we can win, right? As long as that little 10 is on the field, Argentina believe they gonna win. Ocho.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Absolutely. Absolutely. He's magical, huh? He's magical. He can change, he can, he can flip the game upside down at any moment. And that's what he's always been great at. He's always been great at having those special moments. Now the thing about it is those moments he has in important games, he has them at a much higher rate than everybody else. Yes, much higher rate than everybody else. So, I mean, those moments are never too big for him, man. And it's just, it's unbelievable to see. Unbelievable.

[Uncle Joe]

That's what, that's what makes the great. That's what. Because when you, you look at people, look at Jordan and you look at Brady and you look at all the Reggie Jackson's, you look at the guys when the lights are at their brightest and the stage is at its biggest, you look at the moments in which they did. It just seemed like Derek Jeter always found a way to get a big ass hit for the Yankees when they were in the World Series. Yeah, Tom Brady found a way to get a first down, get a game winning, getting, get a game winning field goal, get a game winning touchdown. He always seemed to find a way. How, bro, y' all been losing the whole damn game. Hey, I told y' all to stop playing with this man and put 50 on the board. But y' all kept bull jabbing and

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

here it is laying around.

[Uncle Joe]

You give him a chance to beat you.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

And England did the same thing. I don't understand, why not keep attacking? Why not keep taking your chances offensively trying to get, trying to get another goal, make it that much, Put the pressure on Argentina. They didn't put any pressure on Argentina. They folded the lawn chair and said, we gonna sit back and just, we're gonna play defense and just hope they don't score, bro.

[Uncle Joe]

No, hey, hey, hey. Well, it's a team who just refuses

[ISO Joe Johnson]

to break when the momentum shifts. You know what I mean? Argentina is, bro. It's like. Because they get scored on early, but it never, they never, they never waver, bro. And they come Through. I'm talking about an opportune times. You, you best damn believe it.

[Uncle Joe]

You know what? It reminds you of you. I don't know how much you guys watch college football in the 80s and 90s with them teams that ran the wishbone and, and they would fall down by 714 points. And guess what? They still running that bone. They we not pay. No, we gonna do what we do and we gonna get back in this game doing what we do. We ain't f to start tossing the ball. That ain't what we do. Right. Cuz if we end up doing that, we're gonna end up falling further behind. I love when a team, if you look and you said this Argentina, they fall behind early. They do what they do.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

They don't, they don't deviate for who they are.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Oh yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

They're like, you know what? And when you've done it before, anytime you've been in a situation before and you've overcome it, you feel you can overcome it again.

[Commercial Announcer 2]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

And you feel you could overcome it again. And you don't feel there. You, there is not a situation that you can be placed in that you don't feel comfortable that. Man, I haven't been here before. We were just down two goes to Egypt.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

With 15 minutes to play. We were just, hey, we were back and forth with Kate Birdie. Yeah, man, this ain't nothing. And plus they England, they don't even believe they can beat us. Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

And the fact that we saw it so much in the tournament, especially the last two games they had to play against Cape Birdie, against Egypt. And I remember when England scored, I tweeted it's only a matter of time before Messi answers. And I only said and tweeted that simply because I've seen what he's done in the previous two games.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

And lo and behold, even if he wasn't the one that actually scored, him assisting resulting in the scores not once but twice.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, Ocho. Ocho, he. He not only leading the World cup in, in goals now, I think, but I think he leading it in assist too.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

He done won the golden boot because him and Mbappe was tied. But Mbappe had two. Mbappe had one assist and eight goals. And he had eight goals and two and two assists. No, he was tied. They were tied. Cuz Mbappe got another goal. So they were tied, Ocho. So now Messi goes ahead because he has two more assists.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Because it goes okay. We got the same number of goals. Who has the most assists. So with that being said, he's about to win his second Golden Boot.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Man.

[Uncle Joe]

Look, there are very few people on the short list when you talk about who's the greatest. Obviously Pele winning back to back World Cups. He's won three. No other players won three World Cups. And the number of goals that he scored over the course, obviously they ain't have all the league that they have now with Messi and Ronaldo and some in Holland and all these other guys playing in oo. But he gets a goal, he wins another World cup with the the pool because you got more countries playing, you get guys that are more specialized now playing. It's kind of like basketball, it's kind of like football. I mean, that's not to take away anybody, but if you win a championship and there's only six teams in the league at the time, it's a lot easier to win with six teams. As opposed to the 30 team, right?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Absolutely.

[Uncle Joe]

It's a lot easier. NFL, we got 32 teams now. Once upon a time it was like eight.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

mobile.com he wins another world cup. Man. I mean those Balandor balls with all the golden boots ball and everything that boots and all the things that he's done and. And you know, in the league that, you know, you wait for, it's just. It's just gonna be hard.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, I don't think it changes anything, Uncle Joe. Even. Even if he doesn't win this game against Spain, his legacy is cemented. What he's done game in general is cemented. If he happens to win it, let's say he doesn't win it. It doesn't change the fact that most 98% of the population still believe he's the goat.

[Uncle Joe]

I think it's going to be a 99.999999. The only holdout. The only holdout is going to be you. Yeah, Ronaldo is speed. Hey, we gonna be.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

You know what else? Just. Just a small tidbit on. Let's say they add more. Add more teams or they like next year they're thinking about going to 16,

[Uncle Joe]

16 to 30 to go to third, go to six, add 16 more teams. So they'll go to 64 instead of 48 for 20, 30, if I'm not mistaken. Go ahead, Ocho.

[Commercial Announcer 2]

Even.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Even if they do do that, Uncle Joe. Right. You still have to remember, just like the NFL, it's the same participants every time. When it matters most, when. When it gets to it. Maybe you have one or two teams that may surprise you getting out the group stage and getting out the round of 32, getting into the round of 16. But the cream always rides to the cr. The cream always riding to the top when it comes to the most important games. And it's always the same teams. Your France, your England, your Netherlands, you know, your Spains. Morocco's always going to be there. France is going to be there. So even if they do go to 40, 64 games, you know, ahead of the. The 48 or the 42 or whatever teams you mean, it's going to be this. It's going to, you know, the same cope is going to be there in the end.

[Uncle Joe]

The question is, will you get an outlier? Like we got Indiana? Because like you said normally before, Ocho.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

We get Georgia, we get Alabama, Ohio State, we get the true blue bloods. Yes, sir. Or a situation in basketball where it's normally all the blue bloods and every every once in a while you. You get this outlier. If it. Could it. Could it possibly be. Could you get an outlier in soccer like that?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

It's hard, huh? Is hard. Even if you do get that outlier, right. And they happen to make it, let's say they get past around the 16 and then they have to play one of those juggernauts.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Like a Spain, like a Portugal. They have so much quality on their team and the individual skill and quality of each player at each position is just that much better than that outlier team. And you won't understand until they actually get on the pitch. And they share the pitch together. When the USA played Belgium, immediately. As great as the USA looked the first three games, Joe.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

They got out that group stage once they get out that round of 32, and they saw elite competition, in a sense.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

What did we look like?

[Uncle Joe]

But hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Like what?

[Uncle Joe]

Stir fry?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey. Hey, Ocho, I got a question.

[Uncle Joe]

Me off.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yes, sir. With Messi being 39, bro.

[Uncle Joe]

Will he.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Will he play in another one? He done.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, he done. This is last World Cup. This was his last World Cup. This is Cristiano's last World Cup. Yeah, yeah, they done.

[Uncle Joe]

He's like, you know what, Joe? But hey, he stayed right there in Miami. Make by 50 mil. All the. All the subs and all the attendance records that they break. They win championships. He like, nah, I don't need to change, like, to. To do what I need. I can make 50 million and do this. Ain't gotta travel no more. I mean, I don't know. He pro. I don't know if he'll stay here or he'll go back to Argentina, go everywhere, wherever he choose to live at, but he's like, no, I'm good.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

He got two more years with us down here in Miami.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

How they finish. How they finish this past year?

[Uncle Joe]

They won it.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Didn't they win? They won.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Did they?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, they won the MLS Cup.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Damn.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, they want it. And you know, he got a sweet. He got a great deal, man. I was watching them, Ocho. You see them guys, man, they're getting. Adding 10, 15, 20 million followers to the IG, the soccer players. Holland added 23 million. Virginia added like 29 million. Yeah. Cristiano Ronaldo, he had a little. He ain't have a little 10. Listen, so he going to. He going to like 675 now.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey. Is. Is. Is this the biggest sport, but the biggest.

[Uncle Joe]

Not even close. It's 10 times. It's 10 times the people watching this. As opposed to the Super Bowl?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, way, way more.

[Uncle Joe]

Damn. Yeah, it's crazy because if you think, yeah, people watch. People watch. Watch the Super Bowl. They like it. They. They. You know, but think about it. Your country is in this. You're probably getting up, Joe, four, five in the morning, six in the morning to watch this. Yeah, this is my country. Unless you got somebody got that background in them, somebody got Argentinian background or some more in background or something like that, and that's a relative, but the whole country, man. You see how Bueno Cyrus was acting?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

They like, bruh, I ain't gonna even hold you for the most part. I can't do it. I'm not getting up in no. 6 in the morning, five in the morning watching nothing.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Uncle Joe]

When they have NFL Europe overseas.

[Tab Ramos]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

And the game come out at six in the morning.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Don't get up.

[Uncle Joe]

I. I wish I might.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, that means you ain't no real fan, huh?

[Uncle Joe]

I ain't no real fan, Joe. I ain't gonna hold you. I have not get up in that early to watch no football game. I catch him when I get up. I walk. Titus, it'll be halftime. I catch the second half.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Nah, hell no. And to get up, like I said, they get up at 5 in the morning. At least football, for the most part, you're probably going to get some scoring the light. It ain't really, really often that the teams go to the half.00.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

You go get something. Joe Ocho. You, Joe Ocho, you get a field goal, you get a touchdown, it's seven, three, it's ten, seven, something like that. There's a great chance I'm going to. You going at the half is 00 in a soccer match.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah. And you know.

[Uncle Joe]

You mean to tell me I've been up for a whole hour and a half and y' all ain't scored nothing?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah. You, you know, you know when. Let me see. Even when the World cup ends this week, Joe, them boys got about two or three weeks off, and it's preseason in August. In August. I'm sure they probably having the. The tours, but they do the U.S. the u. S. Tour.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Teams come down here to play.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

They're gonna be right back in the States. Because soccer season starts, if I'm not mistaken, when football season starts, a preseason start for football, they start back. Club play, two or three weeks off.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

That's about, like, mid September or something like that. Early September.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Regular season, normally, the team that win the World cup, don't they come play. Don't they come play like some of the MLS teams or something? Like Ocho?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Nah. All right. Because once the World cup is over, you go back to your club.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, okay.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah. Because your season, Your season getting ready to start. Okay, so Mbappe goes back to Real Madrid. Holland goes back to Man City. Jude Bellingham back to Real Madrid, Vinnie Jr back to Real Madrid. And they already training the players that didn't make their World cup teams.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Yes.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Back at the club training.

[Uncle Joe]

Right. Man. But what they be making, Joe, hell, I Train year round, too.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hell, oh, yeah. Hey, hey, they guaped up now.

[Uncle Joe]

And Ronaldo, Ronaldo, I mean, Ronaldo making 300 million a year, Joe. And a staff. And he got a full time staff, and he got a full time security detail, and he got. They gave him a private jet.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hey, he making different money, boy.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, that's how you do it.

[Uncle Joe]

They offered. They offered a message. A billion. A billion. They offered him over a billion. You're like, nah, I'm good.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Uncle Joe]

Do you know how good you got to be, Joe, to turn down a bill?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Wait, no. They offered him 1.1 now. 1.

[Tab Ramos]

Yeah.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Who offered him that?

[Uncle Joe]

In Saudi.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

And he said no.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, it's white.

[Uncle Joe]

I guarantee to play with Ocho team down there in Miami.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, I guarantee his wife what they

[ISO Joe Johnson]

gave him in Miami.

[Uncle Joe]

They get that. He get a part of the subscription. He probably make about 50, 75.

[Commercial Announcer 3]

What?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Joe, you got to understand. Messi doesn't live like that. So therefore, he's already worth 3,400 million.

[Uncle Joe]

Now, I think he's saying he worth a billion.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Worth a billion now. So, I mean, there's really no need. But I'm gonna get an extra billion. For what?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

What you mean? Yeah. What's better than 1 billion?

[Commercial Announcer 2]

2 billion?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah. Messi lives a very simplistic lifestyle.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, can you turn it down?

[Uncle Joe]

1.1.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

1.1 billion.

[Uncle Joe]

Keep it.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Keep it 100.

[Uncle Joe]

I ain't gonna be able to do it, Joe.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, hey, where I signed at here? Cause that what I'll be asking, Joe.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

You going away to Saudi Arabia, huh?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah. For 1.1 billion. Ocho, no.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

What about your kids? Your wife say, listen, they come in,

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I got 1.1 billion, they finna learn Mandarin and all that. What you mean?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

But then you already have that kind of money. What more do you need?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

We finna experience life.

[Uncle Joe]

He might be the only person, Joe, that ever. Because when have you ever heard a person, you are the person, say, I got, man, I got too many shoes. Women say, I got too many purses, right? I got too many clothes, I got too many cars. I got too many homes. Last person you heard say, man, Ocho, I got too much money.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, man, when you ever heard somebody say that? You ain't never heard nobody say that.

[Uncle Joe]

Elon Musk was worth a trillion. Now he worth about 800 billion. Now, he ain't. Ain't nobody ever been worth that kind of money. And he's still trying to get more money. So I would take my hat off to him. Look, he's a family man and it was very important to him. Like you said, Ocho, his wife probably said. And she's probably saying, look, look, we've sacrificed enough now.

[Tab Ramos]

Yes.

[Uncle Joe]

Because at some point in time it comes a point where how much more am I going to have to sacrifice? We sacrificed so we could get to the point where we are now.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Right.

[Uncle Joe]

We don't really need to sacrifice anymore because what can we do with another billion that we cannot do with the billion that we've already accumulated? And so I think, Joe, that's how they're looking at it. They have me and you looking at it because, hey, I know my sister, my brother go put my, put their foot by ass. If I turned out to be, they

[ISO Joe Johnson]

gonna say, boy, what's wrong with you?

[Uncle Joe]

Exactly. You know, my mama said, well, hey, you can put a slot machine in my house. It steals your money. Even if the sloppy in your house is your money that you put you winning your money. So my mom told me, tell me she want a slot machine in the house. I said, mama, you do realize that would be your money, right?

[Tab Ramos]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

It's not like somebody gonna come in there and put money in there for you to win. That's your money.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

But no, that is a special type of person to get to that point where you can say no to that kind of zeros. Do you know? I mean, that's a lot of zeros, man.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean, 300 million a year. And I mean, just when you get a chance, yo, Google Ronaldo's contract. 20. I mean a full time staff, full time security detail. Big, he be flying on that, that big jumbo, that one that President Trump just got to take over Air Force One. He be flying on that.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You talking about that one. You can do cartwheels down now.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, that one.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Okay, okay. All right. That what I'm talking about. Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

As a matter of fact, we just saw one, Joe. Remember that big old jumbo jet we saw parked out there? We saw, we saw some print. Some Saudi prince or I forget where he was from. That jet is so, so ginormous. Yeah, that thing probably called. I know they charge you a hundred thousand an hour for that one.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hey, they got it. They have a unlimited amount of money that is constantly rotating this.

[Uncle Joe]

But now we have Spain. Excuse me. And Argentina for the World Cup.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Who you got? Uncle you got.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, I already told you, man, who I wanted to win,

[ISO Joe Johnson]

who he wanted.

[Uncle Joe]

Friends go to Spain. Oh, I go to Spain.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

You, you betting against Messi?

[Uncle Joe]

I'm Betting against. I'm betting against the people of Argentina. I like Messi. It's just. I just. It's hard for me to get over the. The history.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Okay, what about you, Joe?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Man, I like how Spain play, Coacho. Considering the fact, you know, that, you know, they. They. They got good midfielders and attackers. You know what I'm saying? It's like. And if you can control that midfield game, bro, you can really control the game of soccer. You know what I mean? Yeah, and they do a great job at that, but, boy.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

No, you right, Joe. You right.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, it's something about Messi, dog. Like, he got the magic.

[Uncle Joe]

He got it.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You know, when you. When you see a place like, man, he got it. I don't. I don't know what the hell it

[Uncle Joe]

is, but he got it.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You know what I mean? Yeah, he got it, Ocho. I ain't gonna lie. I'm nervous a bit against him. I ain't gonna lie. I don't know yet, bro. I don't know who I'm going for yet.

[Uncle Joe]

Give me.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Give me about a day or so.

[Uncle Joe]

Somebody.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hold on.

[Uncle Joe]

So if I'm not mistaken, somebody better gets France. Somebody bet a million dollars that Spain was gonna beat France and they won 2.5 million. Drake bet France. I mean, this is what I'm doing. I'm gonna start looking to see who Drake. Brett would, and I'm gonna go against him.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, but hold up, though. I ain't gonna lie now. It was moments throughout this World cup, boy, France look unbeatable.

[Uncle Joe]

They did.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hey, since the World cup started,

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I thought, hey, I ain't gonna lie. Hey, I didn't think it was gonna be a team that was gonna run through them boys like that, man.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hey, I'm. I'm. Dude, I'm. I'm at fault, too. I'm at fault because usa, France, the way they both look. I wasn't thinking France was gonna lose at all, Joe. They was. Since the start of the tournament. USA had me, fool. They had me fooled the first three games. I'm like, oh, we finna run circles around Belgium, man. They embarrass me, make me think like I don't know what I'm talking about.

[Uncle Joe]

Well, we already know y' all for Argentina, because both of y' all got blue and didn't tell me. But anyway, Golden Booth race. Lionel Messi has eight goal, four assists. Killian Mbappe, eight goals, three assists. Earl and Holland, he has seven goals. Everybody is done except Messi. Nobody can catch him. So you know what that means?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You know what it mean?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

What do you mean?

[Uncle Joe]

Man have another trophy on his mantle.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Hey, I got messy, bro.

[Uncle Joe]

Mikhail Oller Zabo is Spain's leading goal scorer with five. So in order to catch, he would need to score four goals. It's by age. It's possible. OO is four goals in the World cup possible? No, no.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Everybody in order to score 4, go 4 goals as an individual, maybe. Listen, maybe a hat trick, yes, but

[Uncle Joe]

four, but maybe in the early stages, not in the, not in the championship game.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Absolutely.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

They would have, they. They would have to lay down on the floor for you to get four.

[Uncle Joe]

That, that's like a. That's like a wide receiver having 250, 300 receiving yards.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hold on. In the first quarter,

[Uncle Joe]

we've seen. Brady had 500 yard passing. They had a 500 yard passing game in the super bowl and they lost, remember, to the Eagles. He had 500.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Jerry had over 200 receiving in the Super Bowl. They won 1988 against the Bingles in Miami. Ocho, your team, you didn't have.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

You had to bring that up, though.

[Uncle Joe]

I'm just saying.

[Commercial Announcer 1]

Oh, job.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Just come on, man.

[Tab Ramos]

Come on.

[Uncle Joe]

Well, you had a chance to win the game. The ball hit Lewis Billups in the. And he dropped it. And you already know. And Joe, you've seen this. When you have an opportunity, like to get a rebound or to get a loose ball and you don't get it, what happens? You drop it to. You have an opportunity to jump on a fumble, you have an opportunity to get an interception. You get an opportunity to make a play and you don't happen. What happened in football.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

OO as is a rap, right?

[Uncle Joe]

They come right back.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

They come back and it bite you next. You know what?

[Uncle Joe]

Yep, yep. So number one, Argentina. I mean, hey, it's only fitting the number one seed, Argentina, number two, number two seed, Spain will meet in the World Cup. It's also the first World cup final between the reigning champ, your Euro and South America, Copa America, Spain's favorite. You know that, Ocho. You know that. Oh, that's it right there. See that? Would he be flying on Joe and O Joe.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, that big boy.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, that's the one.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

As.

[Uncle Joe]

That's the one we took.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

[Uncle Joe]

[Uncle Joe]

The test of this power in the tongue.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

All right, now, here we go.

[Uncle Joe]

I'm Glenn Washington, host of Snap Judgment, the award winning storytelling podcast from kqed. Every week Snap deals a new card. Like jumping on Rihanna's private plane or the accidental bank robber or even the man who was swallowed by a hippo.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

What?

[Uncle Joe]

Pick a card, any card. Snap Judgment from kqed. New episodes every Thursday. Wherever you get your podcast. Oregon taxes Oregon's 9.9% state tax, 4% agent fees and 15 marketing. He lived off a small endorsement while facing jock taxes, union dues and other expenses common for young athletes. Uh, he told Forbes, let's say I'm making 2 million after taxes. Let's call it 950, 970 agent fees, 15% market. Those checks get chopped out. After living off energy drink deal. I had about a $12,000 deal just to come just to get some posts off and I lived off that. I had a fear and a paranoia that I was going to go broke. I always fear like everyone goes broke. So I'm not going to spend any money. I bought a six thousand dollar chain, a big cross. But that was really it. I was afraid the trip here I used points to come to New York points for a trip to stay. It gave me $400 in food and beverage cools.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Chime there.

[Uncle Joe]

Not gonna lie. I guess. Also hear an athlete breakdown how their millions aren't really millions after taxes. The fees 40. 40 million after taxes is still 40 million. The real issue is in the system. It's the lifestyle creep. Nobody told you to live like a king by five cars or move with a 10 person entourage. Modest is allowed.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, cool. A lot he didn't a lot of people. Uncle Joe when you make it a lot of people get caught up in the lifestyle. Having to look a certain way, having to drive a certain car. Now when it comes to driving a certain car they start buying multiple of said cars. Now it's okay to enjoy the fruits of your labor. I understand that you work your butt off to get to this point in life, but some people don't know when to scale back, and they get lost in the sauce, as I call it. Now I got to keep up with the Joneses. Now I have to dress a certain way. Now I have to drive a certain car. I have to buy multiple chains. When something new comes out, I. I got to keep up with the. It just. It's ridiculous to me. At the point, I was extremely smart, Uncle Joe. You know how I am in moderation. I do things in moderation. Now when I was playing, I live extremely below my means, extremely well below it. And now I'm able to enjoy some of the fruits of my labor. Now I'm starting to have a little fun things in moderation, you know, but doing some things that when I was playing, I definitely wouldn't do. I definitely wouldn't do it. Now I'm enjoying myself a little bit. Just a little bit.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, I lived a little now because. But after a while, you know, you know, I like T shirts. Anybody be. I know y' all be asking, like, man, where do you get. Where you get those T shirts from? Sheila's, like, I'm not buying you no more T shirts. Just getting out of hand. I'm like, shelly, they T shirts. You make it seem like I'm watching. Buying hundred thousand dollars watches. They $20 T shirts.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

So I get it. And I do. Look, that's one of the reasons I left the state of California. 13.3%, 13 and a half percent sale, state tax. I'm already. I'm at 37% federal tax. So before anything, before FICA, before Medicaid, before I do anything, I'm only getting 49 and a half percent of my money. Uncle Sam got it gone. Agent fees. I get it. So anytime I get somebody, let's just say you make. I get a hundred thousand, I go ahead and. I go ahead and slide, you know, 45, 48. I set that to the side.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

I only. That's. So now that means I only got 52.55 to deal with. Yeah, you don't got a hundred. Now, see, people make a number and think they got that number. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't got that number. Anything you do, you automatically say. You automatically. This is what my guy told me. Guy O. Joe. And Joe, he said, you in partnership with Uncle Sam. He Said, when your money grow, so does he. Is.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

If you understand that. Yeah.

[Commercial Announcer 1]

See you.

[Uncle Joe]

If you go buy mama Rolls Royce, who gonna have to pay? See, I gotta get mama something that I can get off of and she can take care of herself.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

If she need to go buy a tire, she can do that, Right. If I buy a 500,000car, Joe, who gonna have to pay to keep that upkeep? Me.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Right.

[Uncle Joe]

I buy mom a three million dollar house. Who's gonna have to pay to keep that upkeep? Me. Mama can't clean a three million dollar house. My sister can't clean a three million dollar house dot My sister can't cut the lawn at a three million dollar home. So you've got to be re. Be smart because you got to realize anything that you do for your family is greater than anything that's ever been done for them. And they know you're doing it out of love. Forget the fact that it's more than they ever thought is out of love. And if that's not enough, oh, I don't know what to tell you.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

And that's I could do.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hey, Uncle Joe, you know, family don't know when to stop now, right?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Yes, I do know. Yes, yes.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Family don't know when to stop asking. Now, that's hard. Especially, you know, for these young players. You're coming in the money young and you think about you, you got all these people come coming after you.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

And asking you for this, man, it's. It's difficult. It's difficult. I don't think people understand.

[Uncle Joe]

I'm.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

I'm personally, I never tweeted, I never say anything. When I see these clips about players saying, you know, a certain amount of money is not enough, and I know what's eating them up right style and trying to maintain the image. Because once you stop playing, Joe, it's impossible. Huh?

[Uncle Joe]

You still Ocho?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

The first thing. What is, man. Man, Ocho must be doing bad. He ain't got that big chain. I don't see that big chain. Hey, hey, Ocho used to be in the club popping bottles, man. I ain't seen Ocho in the club in a minute.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Then you start. You start hearing that now all of a sudden you got to go get something outside of your means. See, bro, Hell no.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

You've got to put limits on what you give, because takers will never put limits on what they take.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

You have to understand. And you buy something, you buying it just like, okay, I Give. Let's just say, for the sake of Joe and I, we homeboys.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Joe ain't make it. I made it. Me and Joe been cool. I know if Joe had made it, he'd do me the same way.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

I'mma shoot Joe some money. And I ain't gonna never ask about you, never gonna mention. I'm never gonna put him in a situation where he feel that he gotta pay me back.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Right.

[Uncle Joe]

But I already know I ain't asking for that money back. I only give money that I know I ain't gonna have. My homeboys ain't never got to worry about paying me back. That's with anybody.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Right, Right.

[Uncle Joe]

That's how I do it. Because you buy a car. If you gotta buy a car, Ocho, and I gotta pay the insurance on it, and I gotta pay the maintenance on it, and I gotta buy the upkeep. I gotta pay the upkeep on it. Well, damn. I thought this was. I thought this was like a robbery, in and out. Yeah, yeah, that's. I'm being real.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yes, sir.

[Uncle Joe]

And people like, oh, that's your family. I get it. You go broke with effing with your family, and then what? Let me tell you what happens when somebody goes broke. When they spend all that money, the first thing they're gonna say. We know what they're gonna say, Joe. And no joke.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

What's that, man?

[Uncle Joe]

I don't know how he. How he lost all that money. Effing with y'.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

All.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, that's how I lost it. Effing with y'.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

All. Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Because every time I couldn't say no because I felt bad. Every time you said, let me get 50,000, let me get 25. You had this great idea. I didn't say no.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Right, right.

[Uncle Joe]

Everybody's all gone, man. I don't know how he lost all that money. Oh, you don't, huh? You have no idea.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, and that's the hard part, okay, Ocho? Because these guys coming in so young now, bro. 18, 19 years old, money. Hell, you become a multi millionaire overnight, bro. So you gotta. You gotta hope you have somebody in your corner who can help you, because y' all are probably just coming into some money, you and your parents. And for the ones who. Who already know what it's like, and obviously, hopefully, you got some good help. But when you don't, bro, and everybody is new to everybody. Oh, mistakes gonna be made, partner. You're gonna make some mistakes, and then

[Uncle Joe]

you gotta watch people that you got counting on making your money because they're trying to get some off the top.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hello. Hello.

[Uncle Joe]

And you. Excuse me. Chat. Apologize. It gets to the point. Joe, Ocho and you guys, you know this because we, we're very. We're professional athletes. We've been successful. How many cars do I need, right? How many chrome? How many chrome. Hard pair of jeans. I just saw a guy, I just. I was going through my DMs and I looked at. And the guy has sent me, say he had a chrome heart. A Drake Chrome heart hoodie.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

What am I gonna do with that? The only time I really wear hoodies, I go to the gym. Yeah, man, I wish I might spend 40, $50,000 for a damn hoodie.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, yeah?

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. What?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, yeah, it's.

[Commercial Announcer 2]

It's.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, it's pricey out here nowadays.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

It is. And listen, and those that are in the fashion, those that are like really into fashion. Oh, man, they. Hey, they eat you up. They eat you up. They. They swear down when it comes to fashion. And, and then when you dissect and understand how stuff is made, what stuff really costs before they mark it up.

[Uncle Joe]

Yes, man.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Man, please. I ain't paying y' all no mind. And I know how it really gets done. I know what it costs to actually make. You're paying for the name anyway.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's it. That's absolutely. They had me like that, Ocho. I buy stuff. I bet I bought like. You remember the letterman jacket, Joe? The Louis Vuitton letterman jacket? I bet I had about four of the things.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yes, sir, man.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey, they don't saw this one. This one too designed, man. I said, huh? Y' all saw them leave out the LB pants I got. Y' all gonna see them again, y', all, if y'. All, Hey, I ain't got Beyonce and all them money that could wear an outfit one time and let it go to the wayside. That ain't me. But then I say, you know what? Let me get me some jeans. Shelly, get me like three pair of these in just different colors.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Light blue acid wash. You know what I'm saying?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, let me get that.

[Uncle Joe]

Let me get somebody give me some 150, 200 jeans, man. Jeans. I remember jeans with $30. Yeah, yeah. I remember Jean with $30 a pair. You ain't that. You can't even find Wranglers for $30 a pair of, man.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You can't get 30 a pair. No damn thrift store. It's high, bro.

[Uncle Joe]

I mean, jeans. I'm like, Shelly, be Telling me, hey, I found some great jeans. I said, how much are they? 250. I say 250. 300 for some jeans?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Damn.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

Do they got 200 in the back pocket?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hey, you know, you know what the funny thing about it, and when it comes to fashion, it's not about price, not about price point. It's what you wear and how you put it together.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hello.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

There you go.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

You know, and the clothes, the clothes never make you. You make the clothes, right. A lot of people confuse the two and feeling like, okay, I got on designer, I'm fashionable. No, fashionable is being able to get a, a 20 thrift shirt and some, and some, a 30 pair of jeans and being able to put it together and making it look like you paid a lot for it. Basically put things together. And another thing, another thing that got a lot of us, a lot of those players that come into money going broke is the women. The women.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

The women have expectations because you live a certain lifestyle and the value in which they bring to you is nothing but how they look. Yeah, that's the value. So in order to get access to what you got to do to get access, Uncle Joe, you got to pay. You got to pay to play. And to keep up with that access, you have to keep on paying to play to make sure she don't go deal with nobody else. Because you want that to feel like that's yours.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, if that's the case, then you. Hey, hey. It's best you be by your damn self going always.

[Uncle Joe]

Because there always somebody.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Unless.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Michael, say it again. Big what?

[Uncle Joe]

Big bank going to take little bank. There's always going to be somebody to make more than you every time.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Which is why all the ones that got the most money are all playing around with the same circle. No, I ain't, I ain't gonna preach.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, because I already know. Because guess what the hardest thing about LA is because you don't know who dealing with who she might be dealing with. An athlete, an entertainer, movie director, a music producer, a rapper. You don't know what she got going on. All you know if you see her in a 363 with a Birkin hello in four different colors, hello. And she dressed to the nine.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hello.

[Uncle Joe]

Every time you feel how you dress like this at 9 o' clock in the morning, 11 o' clock in the morning. What kind of job you got?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Somebody dropped that bag off in that man.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yes, sir. It's the only Way to get them. It's the only way to get their attention.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Damn.

[Uncle Joe]

It's only one way.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. So you mean to tell me that's what dating is now in 26.

[Uncle Joe]

Oh, then I drove the price sky high, Joe. What you mean, sky high?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

You just always been like that?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Just today, Ocho. Just for us to hang out. I got the.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Please, Joe.

[Uncle Joe]

I remember the time I came up with earlier. See, I hate going. I know y' all get tired of me saying, but I came up in there. Joe, you get a hair done and some nails. Boy, you in there like swimwear.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Good, Joe. You good, huh?

[Uncle Joe]

You was in there like swimwear, Joe.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Damn.

[Uncle Joe]

Catty Kona. Damn.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Hold on, hold on. Uncle Joe, I want to take you on a date. When you available. Well, I mean, I got to get my hair done and, you know, I got to get my nails and feet done. I need something to wear, something. And I need some shoe. Excuse me. Hey, you know, hey, don't worry about it, little mama.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, hey. I've been out the dating game for a while, but the price of who hida went up like that.

[Uncle Joe]

Hey, hey, look what Goody Bob say. Look up and see the sun.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Sky high.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Sky high.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I've been in it for the past few days.

[Uncle Joe]

Yeah. Yes.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

But I think the thing is, is that once guys realize, bro, at what point is enough, enough. Okay, you want to get.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

You.

[Uncle Joe]

Okay. If you want to get too expensive car. If you want to say, oh, Chuck, you know, cuz like when I was in Denver, you gotta have an issue. If you, like, if you in Texas, you'll probably can get away with one car. But if you in Cincinnati or you in Denver, you in place where it gets cold and it snows, you're probably going to get an suv, and you probably don't want your only vehicle to be an suv. So you're going to probably want a sedan, be it BMW, Rolls Royce or something like that. So if you want to get two cars, knock yourself out. You know, you're going to get mom something if you'll get dad something, if you got a brother and sister. Because most of us, we close with our brother and sister. Yes, we really are. You hear the way my brother talked? Like, I told him he was gonna be good. He was gonna have exactly what I had.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

So we gonna take care of. Make sure everybody taken care of. But at some point in time, bro, you got to stay. I got to put my feet down and say, no.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hello.

[Uncle Joe]

This 5,000 here, this. 10,000 there, that. 20,000 here, bro, that add up, man. And what you doing with that money?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Right?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

I would love to. I would love to ask athletes, right? And I know a lot of them will see this, you know, And I mean. I mean, this is. No, not. This is not a disrespectful thing. It's this. I mean, this is no disrespectful way, you know, to my sisters or whoever they're dating right now. But I want you to ask yourself this question, right? If you were to take sex out of the equation. Take sex out of the equation, right, Uncle Joe? What value, based on what you have going on, what value does that person bring to you? What value, outside of being one that takes money from you? Because that's. At the end of the day, that's all it is. It's just money continuously going out.

[Uncle Joe]

Right.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Upkeep, obviously, for lifestyle. What value? What. Just. Just think about it.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

It wouldn't be. It wouldn't be a lot of value in an Ocho for a lot of cast, bro.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

I mean, yes, but it. It takes for you to hear that question and then to sit back and think about it.

[Uncle Joe]

Okay?

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

What does this individual do for me outside of looking good, outside of me helping her maintain a lifestyle? What value does she bring to me? Because if you got a hundred dollars and she's taking 50 to 100 at some point, that. That. That, to me, that is nothing but a liability.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Because you make so much. You always think, all right, it's cool, I'm gonna make those. That's in the street. Oh, the next plate is always the next play.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

To re up. What happens when that next.

[Uncle Joe]

It don't all, but it always work like that. Everybody. Everybody love the story that I can't. How many stories have you heard? I came to LA with nothing in my pocket.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Joe]

I came to the United States with $40 in my pocket and I turned. But there's a lot of people that came with more than that in the damn pocket and. And ain't got nothing.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hello.

[Uncle Joe]

We don't hear those stories.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

No.

[Uncle Joe]

And it's every. Every. Look, everybody is not.

[Tab Ramos]

And.

[Uncle Joe]

And when you look at it, you see the. The income is like. I think the average income is probably 55, $60,000.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]

Not the way they acting on Instagram, it ain't.

[Uncle Joe]

I know, I know, I know.

[Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson]
