Key Segments & Insights

1. The LeBron Sweepstakes & Rich Paul's Whiteboard (02:36–14:38, 20:40–26:01)

Rich Paul's Strategy & Speculation

• Rich Paul’s whiteboard listing various LeBron destinations sparks debate: Warriors, Mavs, Celtics, Sixers, Cavs, Heat, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Spurs, Knicks.
• Joe Johnson: “The PowerPoint presentation on the erase board, you know, that’s just to confuse people, to get people thinking, to get people talking” (04:25).
• The panel agrees Paul and LeBron “are playing chess,” already knowing the destination, but drumming up media intrigue (10:18).

Most Likely Teams

• Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers identified as the frontrunners. Miami is seen as a better fit due to its supporting cast and reduced scoring burden for LeBron at age 42.
• Joe Johnson: “The best thing for him to do is come on down to Miami because … it just doesn’t make sense at 42 years, 42 years old, in year 24” (05:36).
• Ocho: Raises concerns about Cleveland’s insufficient perimeter defenders versus top-heavy Eastern Conference guards (06:12).

LeBron’s Priorities

• LeBron does not want to play “second or third fiddle,” and the crew isolates that as a key driver in his upcoming “last move.” They debate whether he'll opt for a “one plus one” deal or fully commit to a squad for what is likely the swan song of his career (09:35).
• Chad: “It’s got to be your final destination, right? The last stop to Cucamonga” (09:59).

Notable Quotes

• “He realized the Lakers really didn’t want him.” — Chad (11:32)
• “You won’t miss him until he gone … he gonna make you remember, too.” — Ocho on LeBron leaving Los Angeles (34:02)

---

2. Cavs Willing to Sign Bronny to Lure LeBron? (31:02–33:31)

• Cleveland Cavaliers’ x-factor: Rumors swirl they’d open roster spots for both LeBron and his son, Bronny.
• Ocho: “If the Cavs trade for Bronny, I think it’s a no brainer … Braun is going.” (32:12)
• Joe Johnson is skeptical: “You’re letting people play with you like that. … I’m just trying to lure you in to see what I can get at you ... They just want a favor.” (31:49)
• Chad compares it to “candy from a stranger,” warning not to “fall for that” trick (33:00).

---

3. Draymond Green on LeBron's Influence (33:31–36:05)

• Draymond Green’s take: People underestimate LeBron’s economic and basketball impact.
• Chad quoting Draymond: “I still don’t think people understand the force, the weight that the guy carries … the economics he brings to a team, the economic impact he may have on a city, and then also the basketball.” (33:31)
• Lakers are expected to feel LeBron’s absence deeply in both leadership and production. The discussion pivots to how LeBron “puts fuel in his tank” after such rejection (34:28).

---

4. Rivalries and Modern Free Agency (35:15–37:32)

• Modern realities: Player rivalries matter little in today's NBA and pro sports compared to big contracts and freedom of movement.
• “Owners and the league walked into these meetings with killers … with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy and real foresight. The owners and league … continue to run circles around us.” — Citing Kyle Kuzma’s remarks (38:24)
• Joe Johnson: “Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp ... as prepared ... as aggressive.” (38:31)

---

5. Kyle Kuzma, NBA CBA Critiques & the Business of Basketball (32:34–49:51)

Kuzma’s CBA Rant

• Kuzma slams the new CBA for favoring owners and shrinking player security, team continuity, and fan loyalty (40:05).
• Chad: “Kyle Kuzma in his nine-year career has made $107 million. Michael Jordan, in his 17 year career made $93 million.” (40:26)
• The panel agrees the business side will “always favor billionaires.”

History Lesson

• Chad and Joe dive into why MLB’s union is strongest, and why NFL/NBA players’ unions often fold in labor disputes (45:11–49:51). Economics, player solidarity, and desperation for income are crucial.

---

6. NBA Free Agency, Player Movement, and League Changes (20:40–26:01, 49:51–51:04)

• The Sixers, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Heat, Warriors, Cavs are identified as active in the LeBron chase.
• The cap structure (“aprons”), superstar team-ups, and financial pressure to offload good players for tax reasons all play a factor in changes across the league.

---

7. Big3 Basketball Update (55:04–57:21)

• Big3 Week 3 in Miami: Preview of upcoming matchups, including Miami 305 vs. the Triplets and Detroit Amps vs. Dallas Power.
• Player suspensions: Lance Stephenson returns, Beasley suspended. The crew is excited for the product and local energy.

---

Morocco and France Results

Tactics and Standings

• France, though stacked, struggled to score in open play against a physical, dogged Paraguay side.
• The discussion highlights the tactics (“making it ugly”/brawling) and the importance of composure.

Mbappé & Messi Golden Boot Race

• Tied at seven goals; Mbappé ahead by assists.
• “Mbappé has a game in hand ... he gonna win it … as the games get tougher, the more Mbappé gonna score.” — Joe (64:52)

---

• Panel banters about planning a Bahamas trip, traveling on yachts, and possibly doing a Nightcap live show in Cape Verde.
• Chad & Ocho joke about who “needs a permission slip” from their partners to go.
• Light-hearted ribbing and discussion about past failed meetups and future party plans.

---

10. Q&A, Personal Stories, and Closing Moments (83:00–98:40)

• Fans ask about handling heartbreak and grieving the loss of loved ones.
• Chad: “It doesn’t get any easier … you get better at dealing with it over time. … The more time you put into something, the more invested you are, the more it hurts.” (87:25–92:08)
• Heartfelt responses about using memories to cope, and keeping busy during heartbreak.
• Unique question on using Viagra for sports performance (93:11), and banter about who “robbed the NBA most” with big contracts.
• Audience love: Tributes to fan’s late mother, advice on love and loss.

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Chad (on LeBron’s status): “He did it at 41. So it’s nice to be wanted.” (09:04)
• Joe (on Draymond/LeBron): “Anytime LeBron James is on the floor, A, your team has a chance to win, B, you have to account for him in a major way.” (33:31)
• Kyle Kuzma’s CBA critique (read aloud): “Too often it feels like players are informed after the fact, instead of truly being educated and empowered before the decisions are made. That cannot continue.” (38:24)
• Ocho (about France’s ugly win): “Sometimes you got a pretty fighter … Don’t box. Make it a brawl. And that’s exactly what Paraguay did.” (61:08)

a whiteboard outlining Lebron James realistic potential destinations as you can see the Warriors, Mavericks, Celtics, Sixers, Cavs, Heat, Wolves, Nuggets, Spurs, Knicks. As you can see, he got four guys. And then LeBron in the mix. You see Maxi, Edgam, Brown and be LeBron. And you got Cleveland, you got Mitchell Wiggins. Excuse me, that's Miami, Davion, Davian, Mitchell, Andrew Wiggins, Giannis, Bam Braun. And then you got ant, mellow, McDaniel, go bear, and you got Murray, Johnson, Gooden Yic. And then you got Mitchell Harden, Mobley Allen, and then you got the spurs, you got the Knicks and so forth and so on. Joe, you see warriors, math, core, Sixers, he, Wolves, Nuggets, Calves, predominantly featured. And then you got the auxiliary on the edges. You got the warriors, math Ceft experts next. And then Mavs most likely listed as a non, non basketball reason. Cavs assisted GM Brandon Weems, a big X factor in Cleveland. He's basically LeBron's brother. Speaking of, here's LeBron with St. Vincent, St. Mary's including Cavs, GM Brandon, Wings, and Akron last night.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, I think LeBron, if, if, if the Knicks wouldn't have won it, Uncle Oo, I think he would have gladly went to the Knicks.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hell yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

I, I think with, with that New York market and his brand, he, it would have took him to a whole another strategy. Especially if they, if they didn't win it and he got there and they won it, oh, man, it would have been something else. But anyway, for whatever reason, I told y', all, man, it's a lot of scenarios up here that look great, but to me, I think he's going. I think he's going either to Miami or Cleveland, bro.

[Joe Johnson]

Listen, listen, hey, I, I appreciate Rich Paul. I appreciate Rich Paul and everything he done. I, I'm, I'm excited. I like that. The PowerPoint presentation on the erase board, you know, that's just to confuse people, to get people thinking, to get people talking. I understand the dialogue, I understand the content that you created with doing such, but one of the few people that you won't be able to confuse is the person that knows, knows ball. And I'm someone that knows ball. I think I might know better ball, better ball than Rich Paul. Now, even though he represents LeBron James, they've been together for a multitude of years and had great success in the relationship that they do have. But obviously during this time on the back end of his career, you want to make this last dance your best dance. You don't want to go anywhere in any of these scenarios where you can't be functioning like the king that you are. You're not taking a back seat and having a similar situation to what you just left in la. So the best place, the best opportunity for that. We can also contend for a title when they add other pieces around you to go with Bam and Giannis is Miami. Now. It was very cute. I like what Rich Paul did with the, with the, with the presentation on the race board, but none of that is happening. LeBron James is not going to the goddamn west and dealing with them young bulls. He's not dealing with the young guns.

[Uncle Ocho]

I agree.

[Joe Johnson]

Easiest way to have a chance at another title, you know, and, and have get number five would be down in Miami. It just would be. I know. And we talk about, you know, going to the Knicks enough and some of the things that would have, that would have made much more sense as far as his brand, you know, being grown globally. He doesn't need help with that. He doesn't need to help with that. Not at this point in his career. He is who he is. He's a global phenomenon. And the best thing for him to do is come on down to Miami because as, as, as pretty as some of the other things look, it just doesn't make sense at 42 years, 42 years old in year 24, 23 year career.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, listen, go ahead, Joe. I kind of, I kind of understand where Ocho is coming from, considering the fact that Cleveland doesn't have the perimeter defenders to be able to deal with some of these top heavy guards that's in the Eastern Conference, you know what I mean? I, I think, I think that's going to play a part and I think, I just think Miami has a, a nice, very attractive team to where he's probably looking like, damn like. You gotta understand the pressure wouldn't be on him to score 25 a night. You know what I mean? He could just be cerebral throughout the entire season. And bro, and I think, I think it'll help they got guys who can defend. And look, Davion Mitchell at the point know he gonna be a piss against some of these top guards. Man, I just think they got what it's shooting.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You're three point shooting though, Joe.

[Uncle Ocho]

They gonna ask some guys, though. They gonna see. The thing is, you know, I love, I know a lot of these cats out here when you look at Klay Thompson and you know, people probably been down them for the season that he had last year. But bro, when you play again, when you play with guys who really know how to play and know how to use you and get you shots and make you look better than what you really are. I think if you put Klay Thompson in a system like that, he'll thrive. I just think there's so many different options for him. If I'm LeBron, bro, I'm just kind of sitting back seeing who making changes to their roster and where I could just fit right in and we can take off.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No Darius Garland listed as a negative for the Cavs. Brian loves Garden like he loves Maxi. Rich says LeBron would have signed with the Knicks had they not won the NBA championship. If the Knicks hadn't won, there would be no board. He'd be going to the Knicks. Rich says every team has reached out outside of one or two.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

According to Sean's, LeBron would choose between the following six NBA teams. The Cavaliers, the Heat, the Nuggets, Sixers, Timberwolves, or Warriors. Minnesota Timberwolves are aggressively pursuing LeBron and a confidant they're in the hunt to acquire him, per John Krasinski.

[Uncle Ocho]

Who is this, you say? The Sixers.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Timberwolves.

[Uncle Ocho]

Timberwolves. The Sixers. I forgot the Sixers look good too, though, Uncle Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, hey. But if I'm Brian, if I'm run, I'm calling MB right now. Hey, hey, look, look. Let me know what's going on, big fella. Which. How many games you got for me? Do you think we really, really got a chance? Because I don't want to come down that night. You gonna be half. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's what I. He in a great spot, bro. You know, at 41, about to be 42, you still get a chance to pick where you can go and play and still make good money.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Somebody still wants you at that age, man.

[Uncle Ocho]

Come on, man.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean, if you think about it, there not a whole lot of guys. How many guys average 215 and 5 or 21? 6 and 6.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hell, it ain't many who done that in their career.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He did it at 41.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

So it's nice to be wanted. He's just not a guy that can do what he once could consistently gaming and game out. Yeah, he'll have a monster game. Oh, Joe. I still believe he'll have a game, one or two games next year where he gives you a damn near triple double or a triple double with 30 points. Oh, yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He just can't summons it up like he once could routinely.

[Uncle Ocho]

Right, right.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But the question is, like you said, Ocho, this is his last Move. It's got to be his mess. Move. Because the thing you don't want to do is like, okay, is it a one or is it a one plus one? One year and then a player option for year two, because you don't want to be in a situation where, guess what, the player option, I opt out and I want to go somewhere else. If you play one year or you play two years, this has got to be your final destination, right?

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The last stop to Cucamonga.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah. Yeah. Hey, and you know, he doing extensive work. Him. Him and Rich Paul, they going. They going to take their time with this process, and it may drag out a little bit, but I'm here for it because I want to see where you going to go. And I know you're going to change the landscape of the game, especially if you go to somewhere in the Eastern Conference.

[Joe Johnson]

It's the funny. The funny thing about it, too, Uncle Joe, is, is they playing chess. They playing chess. They already know where you're going.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Huh?

[Joe Johnson]

But obviously the build up and the excitement of it, you know, and Rich Paul saying all the right things. Oh, my client LeBron James, you know, doesn't know where he's going. He's probably not going to know for. For a few days. But they. They've always been two steps ahead of everybody else. Always. Especially when it comes to business and making important decisions like they've always made throughout their career.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Everything has been methodical. Everything's been methodical. And it's planned out strategically so they know exactly where they're going. I know exactly where they're going. Are they going to say it? No, they're going to play the game the way the game is supposed to be played and have everyone else on eggshells wondering and talking and creating conversations about what it's going to be. I know where you're going.

[Uncle Ocho]

You said. So you basically saying he going to Miami. No doubt.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Of course, Joe would have ever been wrong when it comes to my basketball knowledge, huh?

[Uncle Ocho]

Well, I'm just saying it's a lot of intriguing, you know, spots out there.

[Joe Johnson]

I know, I know, I know. That's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it exciting because there's so many different intriguing options, you know, especially some that are very beautiful to most. But we have to understand what LeBron doesn't want. He doesn't want to be second fiddle. He doesn't want to be third fiddle. So you have to be careful about where you're going, because you're just going to Be back in the same situation you just left. Okay.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Huh?

[Joe Johnson]

Still be the main man. You can still be the main man down here in Miami.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Look, the days of him being, you know, that guy and getting that's over wherever you go, Ocho, he's gonna have to, he's Gonna, he's still LeBron, but he's not gonna be, I mean, wherever. Because if that's the case, he might as well have stayed with, took the 3.5 million dollar whatever the Lakers had. I think that the biggest thing for him, he realized this. He realized the Lakers really didn't want him. Yeah, he knew that.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. I mean, why stay with. Why stay in la? Why stay in la? Think about it, huh? They got, they got all that cream and just one piece of heated, heated coffee.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey. Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Nah, nah, nah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And that's what it was. Joe, he, the thing is, Joe, you

[Ad Read Announcer 2]

know,

[Chad Ochocinco]

he knew they didn't want him. He knew this was Lucas team, everything. When he said he wanted this, okay, they got him that. But he wanted to mar de Rosen. They didn't get DeMar DeRozan. They didn't. They weren't going to be. He wouldn't give him the three. The third year. Chicago ended up giving the third year. That's why he went to Chicago. You got a guy like a DeMar DeRozan that could get a bucket with AD and LeBron, but that's neither here nor there. They, they, they settle. And he looked at basically everything that Lucas asked for. You're getting it. Look, it's like LeBron, bro. You, you, you, you 40 years old. We, we've got to move on. Hey, and I, and I, I can't, I can't say, Joe. We can't say we blame him.

[Uncle Ocho]

Nah, we can't. But with that, I think that's gonna fuel Braun to come out and prove and prove them wrong. Whether he said or not, he gonna let his play do the talking. And don't let him go to a situation to where he really has a chance to win a title. That's probably what he's figuring out right now as we speak. You feel me?

[Chad Ochocinco]

That best opportunity.

[Uncle Ocho]

Because think about it, okay? The Lakers didn't want me cool. Long as somebody do and I still got a chance. I'm gonna come out and prove their ass wrong. I'm gonna come out here and win a title with Miami again or Philly with what they got or. You know what I mean? I just feel like he has so many options. And this is a rare situation, bro, to where we See a cat in his. In his early 40s, 41, still being recruited or coded by a lot of these teams. Yes, and arguably the greatest player to ever play the game. Man, listen.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, and when you think about it too, Uncle Joe, does he really have anything to prove? Huh? He shouldn't be having to prove anything else at this point. Not yet. You shouldn't have to prove yourself at 41, 42 years old. You shouldn't have to. The proof is in the pudding. We know what you've done when you ride off into the sunset. You supposed to ride off into the sunset. Peace with that monkey off your back, no burdens.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Let me ask you.

[Joe Johnson]

I think about. I think about the situations that can lessen the burden. Would also give you the chance. You know what? I can. I can get me another ring, I can get me another title if I can go to. If I can go. If I go to this specific team that fits me just well, where I can still contribute. The best option is Miami.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Ojo.

[Joe Johnson]

Talk to me.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Have you ever blocked one of your exes?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, they. They sent me an email after that.

Wait, wait, wait. Hey, Uncle Joe, I'm. I'm talking about this how it was 20 years ago. I ain't talking about right now.

[Uncle Ocho]

I know what you're talking about.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm not like that no more. Yeah, this is when I was in my teens, huh?

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, he worse now, ain't it?

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, you gotta.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, hey, Joe. I used to go to a club back in the days, Joe, down here in Miami on 54th Street. Called the Pack Jam. Yeah, yeah, Call the Pack.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn.

[Joe Johnson]

The DJ man, recipes, dj, Uncle Al.

[Uncle Ocho]

It used to be jumping.

[Ad Read Announcer 3]

What?

[Joe Johnson]

You know, I was. I was a shaker booty back then, Joe. You know, I used to. Hey, I used to be getting it. Yeah, well, you get your little piece out of there, man. Joe, we ain't got time to, you know, be going to shower and all that. Joe, you do that little test.

[Uncle Ocho]

[Joe Johnson]

Nah, Joe, you take that finger, man. Put it down there.

[Chad Ochocinco]

So you take that, man.

[Uncle Ocho]

You got. You gotta get in the shower quick, Joe, you gotta make it. Get in the shower, Joe.

[Joe Johnson]

We'll be going, man. We're in my grandma house. I ain't got time for that.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, no.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, you hold up. You had sex with your grandma's house before?

[Joe Johnson]

No, I was in. Nah, I used the card. Huh? I used the car. I ain't had nowhere to go. I had no money for no room. Hey, I used to. I used to. You know, they had. They had a little plane before. I got a little change on me, right?

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

In Okeechobee, right? It's called the Executive Palace. They got the room with the garage. You pull in, walk up the stairs, you got the pole. It got a little Jacuzzi in there.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

And called Executive Palace. So you got to try it. They be called the Chobee.

[Uncle Ocho]

What do you mean, I gotta try it?

[Chad Ochocinco]

What you mean?

[Joe Johnson]

I mean, just in case you want. You want to, you know. You know, try something different, man. Try something different instead of that fancy shit, go to the chobe down here in Miami.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean. Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

I mean, look.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean, you could just pull in. You could just pull in your driveway and just get. Hey, just hit the car. That's still an option?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah. You gotta think, Joe, this. Hey, this. When I was a little jit, bro, I was young.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Don't worry about the hips. Did the hip just fine get on in that back seat? I grew up in a Chevette in a Fiero I grew up in small compact cars.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

And you made. Hey, you made it work, did you? Man, I already know it. I already know it. I already know.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey, hey. Had to roll. Hey. The mosquitoes tearing my back up.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, don't stop it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Ain't no stop it, man. Y' all all what? So Minnesota's in the mix. So the Cavaliers, Heat Nuggets, 76ers, Timberwolves, and the Warriors.

[Uncle Ocho]

What you thinking, Unc? What you got?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Ooh.

[Uncle Ocho]

Realistically, I think it's three teams out there that he probably juggling Right now.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I do, too. I think. I really do think the Nuggets are in play because he got a guard. He got a big. They don't really. I think I agree with you. I think the Sixers became. Became eligible when they got Jaylen Brown. But the uncertainty of Embiid.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Causes him some concern.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

So for me, I would put Heat 1, Cavaliers 2, Nuggets 3, Timberwolves 4.

[Uncle Ocho]

You don't got Philly in there at all.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Philly would be at it. Because it's too much uncertainty with Embiid.

[Uncle Ocho]

I just. I just.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Based on his history, Joe, what. What if. If we get 55 games, that is the absolute best we could hope for. That's.

[Uncle Ocho]

That ain't gonna be enough.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Here's the thing. What do we see in the postseason? He played one series, and then what? Yeah,

[Uncle Ocho]

that's why if I'm Brian, I'm on the phone with him, you know, hey, I'm letting y' all know, boy. Hey, y' all one of the front runners, but damn, I need to know what type. I need to know when B mind at, bro.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What.

[Uncle Ocho]

What he got going like. That's a real chance, Uncle Ocho. Boy, they would be. You talking about having perimeter defenders in JB and Edgecombe? Yeah, man, please. So we gonna see. I wonder how long this could split.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I would split. I would split Max and bronze time. Even though I would let you know, start them out together, I would always fit them. So I always got one of them on the court. Yeah. So always got a ball handler on the court. So you would do it.

[Uncle Ocho]

So you'll probably take Brian out about the six minute mark in the first quarter. Let Maxi play the whole first quarter.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

Then you start Braun in that second quarter.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, you're right.

[Joe Johnson]

And you really think about what you just said? You really think Braun want to. Want to go through that? No. That's why Philly is not an option. He don't want to do that. He don't want to do that. Where you can go to goddamn Miami and control the ball, huh? I ain't got to do that much. I don't have to be the king. I don't have to be the chosen one. I got them two young Bulls down there that gonna do all the work. I got Giannis. I ain't got to do nothing but facilitate when I want to shoot, I can shoot. When I need to get to it, I know I can get to it. I don't want to have to shoulder the load, put me in position. Oh, now you got me on the bench. I got. I got to come out at the six minutes so Maxi can come in. I got to sit there for what

[Chad Ochocinco]

they said I can go down to Miami. That's kind of. That's kind of how he did it. If you go. Go back and look at it. That's kind of how he did it with Lake. He would go. He'd come out for the six minute mark, and then he would stay out for four minutes, and then he'd come back for the final two minutes. That's why they kept his numbers around. Somewhere between 32 and 34 minutes a night. And give or take, he might play a little less just in case we needed a little. A little. A little extra in the fourth quarter, so. But the Minnesota Timberwolves are aggressively pursuing him, and they are confident they're in the hunt to acquire him. He loves Ant Man. He. Look, he knows Ant man is going to bring it every single night. He knows he has a elite wing defender in McDaniels. He got a rim protector and go, Bear Mello.

[Uncle Ocho]

That's. That, that's, that's. That's probably. One concerning thing is that I've never really seen Lamelo play off the ball like that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Nope, nope.

[Uncle Ocho]

So, you know, I know he's going to be a ball dominant guard, and he's very unselfish. He made guys around him better, there's no question about that. But those minutes when LeBron come in late game situations, under six minutes, under four minutes when he gonna want that ball in his hand, is Lamelo gonna be a guy who can spot up and take and make shots?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, that ain't happening.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Some of those shots that he be

[Joe Johnson]

taking from 30, 40ft out, having fun.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, listen, it's gonna be. It's gonna be a difference now. Hey, whatever team Braun go to, y' all know it's. It's gonna. Everything is gonna change once he shows up. Like, I know we talk about he ain't gonna be one a this, that, and the third, but you talk about a guy who understands pace and know how to dictate and manipulate a game, bro. He's. He's one of the best at that. So I'm. I'm glued, bro. I wanna, I want to see. I want to see where you're gonna land, because it's gonna. It's gonna shape up the whole NBA.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, well, I. I told you what the shape gonna look like. And the shape is gonna start back

[Chad Ochocinco]

here in the East.

[Joe Johnson]

He's not going anywhere. Not dealing with that great thing. Listen, the whole Ant man and Lamelo thing. Yeah. If you playing NBA 2K and you add the addition of LeBron on the video game. Yes. That's phenomenal. In real life. Absolutely not.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I just hope in real life before I go on vacation.

[Joe Johnson]

Huh?

[Chad Ochocinco]

I said I hope. Hope he makes this decision before I go on vacation. Oh, okay.

[Joe Johnson]

Wait, vacate. When you go on vacation?

[Chad Ochocinco]

After the World Cup? The 20th.

[Joe Johnson]

[Chad Ochocinco]

According to Mark Stein, the Cavs are willing to acquire Bronny James in order to lure LeBron back to Cleveland. Brian's contract with the Lakers this season just became guaranteed. Cleveland will be open to two roster spots for LeBron and Bronny Joe. Is this a smart move to sweeten the pot, to entice LeBron to come back to Cleveland?

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, yeah. What we talking about, Uncle Ocho? Look, we got. They had. The Cavs got to find a way to have an upper hand. This is how they had an upper hand, Ocho. I'm sorry. Y' all probably gonna miss this one, partner. I'll just keep it 100 if he can. Hey, if he can continue to play with his son. Bronnie, you, man, please.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Nah, hey, nah, we ain't doing that. We like it, huh? Yeah, like it. We ain't gonna do that. We ain't trading it.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, that.

[Ad Read Announcer 1]

That.

[Joe Johnson]

That ain't. That ain't sweetening the pot for me. Uncle Joe, you gotta understand, the game. All it is just an organization trying to play the game like it's like a girl say. A girl say. You know what? I'm gonna give you my number, but I ain't gonna let you hit. I'm gonna give you access, but I'm not gonna give you all you want. I'm just trying to lure. I'm trying to lure you in to see what I can get at you. Ocho, they just want a favor.

[Uncle Ocho]

You gotta take your emotion. You gotta take your emotions out of this. I understand. I know what you want. I get it. I get it. I understand it. You hear me? If Atlanta was in the hunt, hell, I'd be the same damn way. But listen, if the Cavs trade for Brian, I think it's a no brainer on What?

[Chad Ochocinco]

What?

[Uncle Ocho]

Braun is going. What are we talking about, bro?

[Joe Johnson]

No, it's. No, no, it's not.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Joe. Yo, man, Joe be at every game it brought in Atlanta, man.

[Uncle Ocho]

What? Hey, he had his thing turned up to the maggots.

[Joe Johnson]

What y' all not understanding, man? You letting people play with you like that. Oh, we gonna bring your son over here and, you know, to lure you to come, man. That's like. That's like your kids on Halloween, man. They tell you, hey, when a car pull up and they offer you candy, don't take it. No, don't fall for that. Hell, nah, man.

[Uncle Ocho]

Please. That. Man.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What type of candy is it, huh? Is it Skittles? Kit Kat?

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, hey, hey. They finna do the decision part two, and this time, it's gonna be going back to Cleveland. It ain't gonna hurt. It ain't gonna hurt the Cleveland hearts this time.

[Joe Johnson]

Nah. Come on, Joe. See, hey, I'm starting to question your ball knowledge, Joe.

[Uncle Ocho]

All right, all right.

[Joe Johnson]

Only one has been right all year, so.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, man. Come on.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm just saying.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Draymond says people don't understand the weight that LeBron carries, and the Lakers are going to feel that next season. I still don't think people understand the force, the weight that the guy carries, you know, from an overall standpoint, you know, the economics that he bring to a team, the economic impact that he may have on a city, and then also the basketball. Like, anytime LeBron James is on the floor, A, your team has a chance to win, B, you have to account for him in a major way. And I think, personally, the Lakers are going to feel that next year.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, you won't. You won't miss him until he gone. I think that the fact that he's gone and you talking about probably your best playmaker that you have on the team.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

I thought he made AR and Lucas job a lot easier considering the road that he came in and he played this last. This past season.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

So, yeah, you definitely gonna feel the weight of him being gone, and he gonna make you, and he gonna make you remember, too.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Watch.

[Uncle Ocho]

He's. He's another guy. We talk about Jalen Brown, how he's gonna come out and try to be one of the best players in the NBA. Braun gonna be the same way, bro. When you get that type of rejection from a team, man, you know what to do. It put a fuel in you. It put a little fuel in your Uncle Ocho to where you want to come out here and prove to yourself. Yeah, that man. Look, I Knew they was tripping.

[Joe Johnson]

Damn.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Draymond also say if rivalries matter in trade or free agency in the NBA, I tell you, they mean something sometimes, but nothing when guys are trying to get their money. Because if that were we getting the real money from, it is what it is. And these teams don't really give a damn about players, most of these teams. So I'm not mad at players going like, oh, the rival. Like it ain't college.

[Uncle Ocho]

No. And it ain't, it ain't.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It's not. And, and the rival, Carolina, this ain't Ohio State. Michigan, this ain't Alabama. Auburn.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. And the rivalries aren't the same as they used to be in the NBA at one point, you know, Lakers, Celtics was a, was a, a huge rivalry, if I'm not mistaken. Uhuh.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, it was.

[Joe Johnson]

Who was it?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Back in the days, but there was no free agency.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay, so now. Yeah, so basically if you played the Lake, you play for the Lakers, you play for the Boston Celtics. For the most part, you stayed at Boston, you stayed at the Lakers.

[Joe Johnson]

Right.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But it ain't like that anymore. It's for, it's free agency now.

[Joe Johnson]

Right.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And guys are moving who got the most money.

[Joe Johnson]

I'll let you.

[Uncle Ocho]

Boy, there you go.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I'm going to where the money is.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, hey. That's what they doing in college. Hell, for sure. Same thing.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Look, the one thing about baseball, Baseball has always been that way. Baseball don't care nothing about rivalries. That's why they, that's why they signed Johnny Damon. The Yankees signed Johnny Damon from Boston.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Nothing about that. And I'm trying to win. Yeah, man, I don't care. Hey, Dodgers and, and, and, and the, the Giants are better. I don't care anything about that. I am trying to win. And if this guy's a free agent and I can get him and he can help me get him.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And they're always going to go to the biggest dollar. If you go and Juan Soto took a little, took a little more money, he's like, Nah, 700, let's see, I'll take 500 million. Yankees had a little less, little less years. But he's like, nah, that's how you keep. They say, no, we trying to keep these numbers up. So no, it's not the same. NBA, even the NFL, it is not the same. Because you have free agency now. Guys can move around.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Mean Joe Green couldn't, couldn't, couldn't leave Pittsburgh. Bob Lilly couldn't leave the Cowboys. Randy White, they couldn't leave now. When you got free agency, you could only keep so many guys. You got a salary cap. It's not the same.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, it's big difference.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Who Kyle Kuzman went off on the NBA's current collective bargain agreement tweeting after sitting here watching NBA free agency this year. Overall, the NBA movement over the past two years, somebody has to say it. The new CBA has sold as per parody. But it's the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap and player value. Team continuity and the player's movement and a player's movement. Excuse me. Teams are no longer making purely basketball decision. They're making fear based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan favorite teams lose their identity and overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place. This isn't about players not understanding business. It's the opposite. We understand the NBA is a business. That's why the NBA Pennsylvania has to operate like an UP with a elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy and real foresight. The owners and the league walked into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economics cap experts, media strategists and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared and just as aggressive about protecting our upside. Too often it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of truly being educated and empowered before the decisions are made that cannot continue. The next CBA is do or die for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We, we need transparency, accountability and a serious reevaluation of who's representing us and how they are representing us. This is not an anti parody. This is pro player, fan and product. The league is the strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together and people are representing us are operating at the same level of the people sitting across the table. Joe seemed like Kyle Kuzma is is complaining. Well I mean car like the NBA players ocho. I mean excuse the owners are running

[Uncle Ocho]

circle around the NBA pa. Oh yeah, he ain't lying. He ain't lying man. You gotta look, you gotta look at what's happening. I mean look at JB when you talk about they, they avoid going into their second that second April because yep, they don't want to have to pay all this damn money man. So look, you're gonna have to get off some of your key guys. You know what I mean, I just think that's what Boston ran into. You look at okc. They had to get.

[Chad Ochocinco]

It's coming.

[Uncle Ocho]

They get rid of some of their depth. It's just part of case of Wallace

[Chad Ochocinco]

say that, you know, I'm like, hey, hey, let your boy go. Yeah, he want to get paid.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, you want to get paid. Look, I don't want a championship already. What we doing? It's time to show me the money. But he right. These owners, man, they running circles around us, bro.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Kyle Kuzma in his nine year career has made $107 million. Michael Jordan, in his 17 year in NBA career made 93 million. Considering he made 63 million in the final two years of his deal.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean, so the other 15 years, Michael made 30. What? $30 million.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, but you gotta understand now, we gotta.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The economics back then was a little different. Yeah, look, M. Mike was like, put me the best team together. Nike and Gatorade and Hanes and all the stuff. They, they gonna keep me afloat.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Put the best team around me. But this is what you. Look, this is what you guys signed up for. And you know, only certain level of guys are gonna get paid.

[Joe Johnson]

Right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

And this is why it's so hard to beat the. In the NFL, the owners in any league. Because guess what? They're already billionaires. Your money is based on whether or not you play. Most of these guys have other businesses that they're going to generate income.

[Joe Johnson]

Yes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Even if you don't take your ass out there.

[Uncle Ocho]

It's a play play for them. Yeah, yeah, it's for play play.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, we, they see it as a toy. Yeah, we have toys, uncle. You know, we like cars. We have hobbies, you know, owners especially sometimes NFL, NBA, you know, hockey, baseball, those. That's they hobby.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

If, if, if Matt Stafford don't play a. Don't throw a pass. He got the Avalanche, he got the Nuggets and he got Arsenal.

[Uncle Ocho]

Damn.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He still got. But so money still coming.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, crazy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You can't stop that. Progress. Must progress. So when and, and, and, and you got, you know, you got these owners, the Waltons. What do you care about the Bronco player? That man worth 120 billion. Let's just say he getting 8% on that probably get. Y' all know how much money that is? 10% on 128. 150 billion. That's 15. Let's just say he conservative. He gonna get 6 to 8%. So now he only getting 8 billion a year, y' all can't win because they know y'. All. Y' all gotta have that money. See, they waited until they got billions and billions and billions and billions before they started getting a yacht plane flying.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And see, see, they know you got. Hey, you mess around and go through a divorce, she gonna get some of that. Hey, you got kids? Let's just say for the sake of argument, all your kids ain't under one roof, right? You know, I had two of them in California. That's somewhere between. That's somewhere between 25 and 50,000. A child.

[Joe Johnson]

What?

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah,

[Chad Ochocinco]

boy, I'm just. I'm just gonna keep it stack with you. That's how they. Oo. Didn't you say they know everything that you going through? So they know what?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They know how much your mortgage is. They know how much your kids tuition is.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And they about to know if you having a problem.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hello.

[Chad Ochocinco]

With your wife.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hello.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey. Just the thought of that, boy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

So that's why you can't. That's why you can't beat him.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey. Because, hey, the guy that's at the

[Chad Ochocinco]

top, okay, they might can wait. So you get a LeBron guy like LeBron or Shay, somebody like that, second, third year Joe, and he ain't. He wasn't no high draft pick. He on. He making 3 to 5 million dollars a year.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But he's spending like he made 10, 12 million a year.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hello? Hello? Yeah, I don't seen it. I haven't seen it. And you're right, that's. Those are the guys that's not gonna wait. They gonna sign on the dotted line asap.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Asap?

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And half of the guys don't sign Ocho because think about it, how many times we broke and have the guy, hey, man, go ahead and fill out my ballot for me. Even for the Pro bowl, they don't take stuff serious. They don't want to. They don't want to take the time. And when we had those NFLPA meetings, all they wanted to do was, ocho, go get that check and dip.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, you know.

[Joe Johnson]

You know what's funny too, also, uncle, you got to understand there, there. There's small, very small percentage of players and let's say NBA in general, even if the. In the. In NBA. What is the NBA?

[Chad Ochocinco]

NBA, Pennsylvania.

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, NBA, Pennsylvania.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

The fact that you won't be able to get all the players aboard because all the players don't make enough money to be able to weather the storm, to say, you know what? We. We ain't Doing that, we not budget until we get what we think is fair. We're not budging till we think we get what's fair. Not enough players that make the kind of money to be able to do that, to withstand. Are we gonna miss some games?

[Uncle Ocho]

We're gonna miss games.

[Joe Johnson]

They gonna have the fold at some point, which would be very difficult because they can hold off. The owners can hold off longer than they can.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The strongest union is mlb. Oh, yeah, they shut the season down. Hey, there'll be no playoff. They gonna be no World Series. Now what y' all gonna do?

[Joe Johnson]

Them boys ain't play, boy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And if you go back and look at them, don't nobody give no team no discount. Everybody. Okay? You got 400 million, he got 425. I'm going to the 425. And I keep trying to make the salaries go higher and higher and higher.

[Joe Johnson]

And them boys don't play, boy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They shut it down.

[Joe Johnson]

Well, how come, how come, how come what's. So why is it so difficult for NFL?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Because I know you don't remember, but they had a strike in 82 and they had a strike in 87.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I ain't gonna call nobody name. But you go back and look at 87 and look at the guys that crossed the picket line, you'd be surprised, Ocho. So if a guy that's a Pro Bowler, if a guy that's an all, all, all Pro, an mvp, a dpoy, if he crossed the picket line and go play, what you think a six rounder gonna do?

[Joe Johnson]

I got you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He got no choice, right? Do your homework, chat. Go back and look at 1987. Look who crossed the picket line. You'll be disappointed. Because you know why they crossed the picket line? Because they put the scat. That's what they call them. They call them replacements. But they were calling them scabs, right?

[Joe Johnson]

Damn, that's a fan.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Still showed up. Because I root for a team, not a player. Because he still had that cowboy star on his helmet. He still had that black and gold Steeler. So those are Steelers. Whether or not they're this or that, it does not matter.

[Joe Johnson]

All right, that made it make sense.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They had no choice in 2011 when the strike happened. What? The players didn't strike. The NFL owners locked them out. Well, if you got to get treatment, go get somewhere. Treatment down the road.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, we ain't get.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You ain't getting it here.

[Uncle Ocho]

Damn.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They locked the buildings. You couldn't work out, you couldn't get treatment. Now y' all was getting a bigger piece, a bigger slice of the pie. Now, I ain't telling you nothing. You know, you can look it. You can go look it up. The NFL players had a bigger slice. They used to get 52%. I want to say no. Y' all getting too much. We'll lock y' all ass out. We'll see how long you can wait. Look it up, Chat. If you think I'm lying. But, see, that's the luxury of being 58. I know a thing or two. But you know what? You know what? We tried to get back. We tried to get back into good graces. I'm gonna leave that alone. Y' all just disregard everything that I said. But I'm just saying this. Just go back and look up history. Not just who played and did what, but you go back and study when the strike happened in 82, and there was another one in 87, and there was a. This wasn't a strike in 2011. This was a lockout.

[Joe Johnson]

Right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

The owners locked the players out. Do your homework. Do your homework. Now, what would y' all like to know, Chat? Cause you know how I know? Because they took a guy from our team at Savannah State, and he went. He got a ring. Cause the. Washington won the Super bowl in 87. The Giants won in 86. They struck. They came back. That was also the year Jerry had 22 touchdowns. Ocho. In 12 games.

[Joe Johnson]

12 games. Oh, so he was playing against replacement players.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He's the first four. He was out. Let's leave that. I would. I. I would have told. I would have talked. No, but I would. I would disparage anybody, but I will say this. Washington won the Super bowl in 87.

[Joe Johnson]

Right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

A teammate. Former teammate of mine, he got called up. When the players came back, he still got a ring. 88. The 49ers wanted. 89. The 49ers wanted. And then the Giants, and then the Cowboys. Into the Cowboys. Hey, no. Yeah. 99. No, 91. Washington won it again. And then the Cowboys went back to back. Then the 49ers, then the Cowboys, then the packers, then the Broncos. Broncos, then the Rams, then the. But you know them. You get what I'm getting.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But anyway, go back and study your history, guys. Go back and study the history. I don't want to put nobody out there. But, see, y' all don't do enough of studying. And then when y' all get mad at me because I try to tell you guys stuff, and you like, oh, oh, you don't know what you're talking about, but I know more than you think. I just gotta. You know, I. I'm trying to do right. I'm trying to do right. We trying to go places. And I understand that sometimes there'll be barriers. I can't say what I really want to say, Chad. I mean, damn.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hello?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Y' all want. Y' all want to try to get Taking the Nightcap up the air?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Y' all looking. I see y' all looking up these names, huh?

[Joe Johnson]

Huh?

[Chad Ochocinco]

They looking up some names, Ocho.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Mm, dang.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I tell you what you never get again. You know, in 82, there was a kicker that wasn't. What, the MVP.

Oh, it's gonna be here. Hey, where they playing at tomorrow, Joe?

[Chad Ochocinco]

I'm going.

[Uncle Ocho]

They at the. The Merit Bank Arena. Is that. Is that the Miami Arena?

[Joe Johnson]

Nah, that's where the. The Florida Panthers play.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The who?

[Joe Johnson]

The Florida Panthers.

[Uncle Ocho]

What's that, a arena team or something?

[Joe Johnson]

The hockey team, Joe. We just won in that. The. The Stanley Cup.

[Ad Read Announcer 1]

2.

[Joe Johnson]

Two years in a row.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, my bad, Ocho. I ain't. I ain't.

[Joe Johnson]

I mean, we ain't winning this year. Carolina won it this year, but we won. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Y' all lost.

[Joe Johnson]

Y'.

[Chad Ochocinco]

All. Goalie, Bobberowski, he left.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, it's all good. We gonna be all right.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's gonna be lit down there, man.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Hey, I'm gonna slide down there. Hey, what time the Miami team play?

[Uncle Ocho]

They play if. 3:30.

[Joe Johnson]

Okay. Yeah, I'm shoot down there, man. That's right down the street, too.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, is it?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, right. Right over there. Like. Like. Like sunrise.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, it's getting good in the big three, bro. I think they gonna play without. I think. I don't think Beasley playing in this game. I think Lance playing. I don't think Suspended.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Lance was suspended last game, so they alternated just to make sure they have enough players.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Lance was suspended last week. He comes back. Beasley suspended this week.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, but it's some good matchups. I'm looking forward to this. I think the trips in the 305. That's going to be a great game. Obviously, Detroit, my Detroit Amps team playing against Power. I don't even know if Power lost the game. Power been pretty good. It's some good ones out there. It's some good ones. I'll be tuned in.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Scored twice in the second half as Morocco beat Canada 30 to book their place in the World Cup's Quarterfinals. Canada star Alfonso Davies again on the bench. Davies missed all three of Canada group matches as he recovered from an injury he suffered in May. Morocco. Look good, guys.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah, yeah, they look good. Canada was the first host nation to exit. You know, we. Mexico still got games. Do they still have. I think they got what, one more game in Mexico. The U.S. got a game. U.S. don't hold on. The U.S. play. Where did you guys play in Seattle. Seattle again?

[Joe Johnson]

Yep, they in Seattle.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And then if they win, they would come to Atlanta.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm not sure. I'm not sure exactly.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, really?

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, it's so funny. I. I love the World Cup. It's been so exciting. I'm glad that a lot of people that don't really watch soccer are now paying attention to how fun and unpredictable, you know, the beautiful game is. France has played well all. All the entire World Cup. They dominated everybody. They play Paraguay today and they struggle.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But they said, People told me, because when Americans beat Paraguay, they said about Paraguay ain't that good.

[Joe Johnson]

I mean.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Cause we got three goals against them, and now all of a sudden, they give up one goal against France. And now all of a sudden, remember,

[Joe Johnson]

we beat them 4:1. We beat Paraguay 4:1.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay, 4:1. My bad, my bad.

[Joe Johnson]

And then they play France today, and it seemed like France can't even score. Well, obviously Paraguay couldn't score either. But France looked like. I. I don't. I don't know. I don't know what it was or what it is about games like this, Joe. Yeah, France is stacked, boy. Hey, they are so to me, in my mind, going to this game, I'm thinking, man, I wouldn't be surprised if France go four, five goals.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey.

[Joe Johnson]

And they could barely get one. And they got that one off a penalty. It was the pk. Yeah. Ain't really scoring open play.

[Uncle Ocho]

But you know why Paraguay, They. They. They made the game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They.

[Uncle Ocho]

They made the game dirty, bro. Yeah, you know, they.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They.

[Uncle Ocho]

They made it ugly. You know, they made a. Friends want an ugly game, bro. And I think they really got a chance, Uncle Ocho, to. To. To make it to the finals. Considering coming out of the game like this, man, this was. This was a tough game, bro.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Looking at the way the US Played, obviously we love to have Balagun tomorrow. Obviously, we're not. I mean, on Monday, we're not going to have him. But we could beat the Belgians.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, absolutely.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What we got? We should beat the Belgiums.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, Belgium. Oh, I mean, no disrespect to them, but they're a very old team. Very old team. Lukaku, obviously somebody you have to deal with, you know, at the nine position, real, you know, real strong. But outside of that, I mean, de Bruyne, eh.

[Uncle Ocho]

I don't know.

[Joe Johnson]

Straight. We should, we should, Joe. We gonna be fine.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The best of me is Argentina.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And Ocho, I know. Last. But they kept so much pressure on Verdict.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They can't, I mean, birdie couldn't get the. Couldn't clear the ball.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, they could.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They stayed on their end and if the goalie doesn't stand on his head.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, they would have stolen. They would score by three or four.

[Ad Read Announcer 2]

What?

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean, look, look, look at the two saves that he made on the free kick by Messi.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

And he was, he was directing traffic.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Knowing if I put him over here, he got to bring the ball.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean, he, I mean, he was still standing on his head.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, he was nice. He played real well.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Mbappe PK leads France pass Paraguay 10 in the World Cup Round of 16 in Philly on Saturday, Diego Gomez knee collided with Desiree. How you say his last name? Dewey.

[Joe Johnson]

Dewey. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And aid of VR. The referee awarded a PK. Mbappe converted it to opening scoring on the 70th minute. Ocho, are you disappointed with France performance?

[Joe Johnson]

Ah, not, not really. Because I understand how the game goes. You can't dominate everybody. Every game is not going to be beautiful. Obviously it's called a beautiful game, but every game won't be that way. Sometimes you're going to have games like this where they make it ugly. Like in boxing, sometimes you got a pretty, you got a pretty fighter that's, that's better than you. What's the one way to keep it, Keep it fight, keep it close, make it ugly. Hey, don't, don't box. Make it a brawl. And that's exactly what Paraguay did. They made it a brawl. They were physical. They had. Hey, listen, they would, they would. Joe. They were about to fight every goddamn five minutes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah. Hey, I think France deserves credit too for the composure that they play with.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, they had to.

[Uncle Ocho]

Cause, man, listen, it was a lot of times I, hell, I thought, I thought Paraguay could have got some penalties. I'm like, damn. You know, hey, man, I'm watching the game. I'm like, damn. You know, it's physical out here. It's a lot of clipping, tripping. But I tell you the theatrics that's in the World cup, the way these dudes be acting, man, come on, Bro.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, but they, you know, they go.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They let. They buy it less and less. The further you go, the less and less they buy them fall autumn balls. You roll it.

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, no, they ain't tripping. But, Joe, you know what they trying to do? Joe, when you roll around like that, not only is I call it a tactical timeout, but also some of those players that's falling are trying to get the other player to get him on a yellow card.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Remember, if I can get you in that yellow card, that mean you got to play cautious all game long because you get one more yellow, you out of there.

[Uncle Ocho]

But hold on.

[Joe Johnson]

You can't be aggressive no more.

[Uncle Ocho]

But hold on.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

You don't get penalized for all this damn flopping and faking and all that, man.

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, sometimes if you. If you dive inside the box.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Trying to get yourself a pk.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. The refugee yellow card for flopping, for diving.

[Uncle Ocho]

I mean, somebody do act like they getting knocked out. Oh, Joe. Damn. And they showing the replay up. I was like, oh, man, they didn't touch it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Do a touchy dude. Do the flyby. He flopped. I said, man, get you.

[Uncle Ocho]

I said, damn.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, that was. That was. That was funny.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, they'd be like, what you call him in the store? What's the dude name? When he fell in Friday, he fell in the stove.

[Uncle Ocho]

My neck.

[Joe Johnson]

When they were stealing clothes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He said, man, get your.

[Uncle Ocho]

It ain't even went over here.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. France plays Morocco on Thursday. Ocho, who you got?

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, hey, that's.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, that's gonna be tough. Morocco dominated today.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, obviously.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But they look good.

[Joe Johnson]

They did look. They look real good. They look real good, man. I feel bad. I feel bad for Canada, obviously. Alfonso Davies probably being their best player not being able to play because of injury since May. Hey, I got friends. They probably gonna rise to the occasion. I know it isn't look like the France we've used to seeing, you know, throughout the, you know, most of the tournament. But they gonna rise to the occasion. Against Morocco. They gonna rise to the occasion. And listen, if Morocco can keep it close, if Morocco can score, it's gonna get interesting. It's gonna get really interesting.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Mbappe has tied Messi with seven goals. Mbappe has a game in hand. Messi has seven goals. Mbappe has seven goals with two assists. Holland from Norway has five goals. Came from England, has five. In the belly from France has four goals with two assists. And I guess the golden boot is right now because he has two assists. He has a two point Lead over Messi.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, I told you he was gonna win it. He gonna. He gonna win it. He definitely gonna win it because the. The tougher the games get, the more they're gonna. The more Mbappe gonna score, the more they're have to rely on him to get goals. I mean, listen, everybody else on this team can score as well, but. Oh, you know who, you know, it's the pecking order. You know who get. You know who get first dibs.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

And Bob ain't nice.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Joe, your guy bad. Ocho. They. I was watching somebody that was diagnosed. They was talking about Messi.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They say Messi walks 62 of the time.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, he does. He does, huh? Like, no, I'm. When they say walk, Joe, I'm not exaggerating.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

I'm talking about literally walking. Literally.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm watching him. And he get a little first pass ahead.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That little joker gone out of there. He ate like Speedy Gonzalez.

[Uncle Ocho]

Super. He's super deceptive out there. It look. Hey, I bet you he a lot faster if you out there with him, though.

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, yeah? Yeah, probably. You gotta think not only now, right? Is. He's not as fast as he once was, but he's still fast enough. But the fact is, is whatever's in front of him, he can get by it.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

It don't matter. One person, two people. He knows how to use his faints and body faints and manipulate. Oh, Joe, he's unbelievable. And mind you, he 39, 38 now.

[Joe Johnson]

Imagine back then.

[Uncle Ocho]

[Chad Ochocinco]

Like I said, if that cake bozinha he doesn't stand on his head yesterday, that man might have had four goals. Ocho, easy. He literally might have had four goals. I was like, oh, my goodness, man, I hate. Man, I was pulling so hard for Kate Birdie, man. I was like, man, damn.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, them K Bird. Hey. They've been out in full force.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, it's so funny. Even in defeat, what Kate Birdie did, not just for the World cup and. And making their name known globally on the. On the stage, what they've done for their country and what Cape Verde have done for their fans. Their legacy is cemented in history with the way they played.

[Uncle Ocho]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

In this tournament. No, even in defeat, it still feels like a win. I mean, I became a fan, obviously, at the beginning of the tournament. Especially with that first game where they played Spain and they tied Spain 00, when nobody in the world gave them a chance. And then the goalie playing as well as he did.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yes, sir.

[Joe Johnson]

Balls out the back of the net. In that first game, he. He put me on. I said, well, well, damn. Who is this? He became a fan favorite in the tournament himself.

[Joe Johnson]

It ain't that far, boy.

[Joe Johnson]

[Uncle Ocho]

Let me see. Lazy. Hold on.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What about 14 hours?

[Joe Johnson]

Nah. Okay, 14 hours ain't no 14 hours. Come on now, Chad. How long is the flight from Miami to Cape Verde? Cafe Verde

[Uncle Ocho]

from Atlanta. It said typical non stop or multi stop journey ranges from 14 to 24 hours.

[Joe Johnson]

Cab.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, I don't know. What the hell you think that's Africa?

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, Wait, hold on. 16 hours a boy. You on your own. Yeah, you on your own, bro.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, you talk about. That's, that's. That's a West Africa.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, okay. The hell. Hey, I just. I. Yeah, well, 16 hours, but I can't do that, boy.

[Uncle Ocho]

What.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, you want to see Cape Verdeans, we'll go. We'll go to Boston.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, hey, I tell you what, they got them.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What's it called? Like three stops. That take you 42 hours. 42 hours? Hey, two stops is 44. Oh, no, I need to get direct KAD.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, we could do a show on Cape Verie next year.

[Chad Ochocinco]

We.

[Joe Johnson]

We could, you know, cuz, you know, they, they, they showed much love. They appreciate, you know.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey, hey. They.

[Uncle Ocho]

They.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They be. They been loving what we did.

[Joe Johnson]

O. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Showing much love, you know, so we could do a show in Cape Verie next year live. You know, one of our guests, we can have. We can have the know. Had a place as one of the guests. I like it.

[Uncle Ocho]

All right, now,

[Chad Ochocinco]

there's no direct flight, so normally A flight from LA to Cape Verde typically takes somewhere between 22 and 24 hours in total because there's no direct flights in the journey. LA International Airport, you a layover in Lisbon. Lisbon, which is Portugal.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And then you arrive. So, yeah, it's basically a day y' all talking about going right now.

[Joe Johnson]

My bad. Hey, listen, I ain't even realized, you know, me and geography, we don't get along like that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's Africa. I told you. That's West Africa.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah. Let me tell you, boy, beautiful people, boy. I can tell you that, boy.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yes, sir.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But Africa is not close, Ocho.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, I know.

[Uncle Ocho]

I met.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean, you get a direct flight to Joburg or something or maybe a. A Akra, Ghana, or, you know, maybe Lagos, Nigeria.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, I know, I know I'm not close. I didn't. I didn't been there. Now we got to do something, man.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Man, I'm have today. They have to give me some medicine, knock me out. Well, for that flight, I get impatient, I get bored, I get anxious. Yeah, boys, I'll be out think about. Take me something for my nerves.

[Uncle Ocho]

It's storming hard As I don't know what I hear.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, so y' all have no fireworks tonight then, huh?

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, man, them boy been shooting guns since 10 o' clock, and we got on here, here.

[Chad Ochocinco]

So we gotta put some time. We gotta put some thought into something. We gotta go somewhere.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, I'm telling you, that. That'd be a good one, huh? Something nobody.

[Uncle Ocho]

Did y' all hear that?

[Chad Ochocinco]

You hear that, Joe?

[Joe Johnson]

What?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, y' all can't hear the fight up here?

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, that's what that was. Yeah, yeah, I heard it.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah. Yeah. Y' all ain't busting no gun or nothing tonight. Y' all ain't getting one off.

[Joe Johnson]

Man, I'm going. I'm going out after the show, Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco]

All right, it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

[Joe Johnson]

Damn, man, my baby just texted me. Say, boy, that flight, 15 hours, boy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

From where?

[Joe Johnson]

Shoot, going to. Going to Cape Verde.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, boy, but ain't no direct flight, so it's gonna be longer than that.

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, no, it's direct flights for me in Miami, maybe. Not for you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, is it right for Miami?

[Joe Johnson]

You on the West Coast. Yeah, no, we know. We could. We could take a pj.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, no, we can't. Flight times from Miami to Cape Verde typically range between 15 and 20 hours, depending on your specific destination to the island and duration of your layover. Because there are no direct flights available from Miami, all itineraries require at least one connection. Like I said, maybe if you go to Joburg.

[Joe Johnson]

Dang.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Maybe if you go to Accra, or maybe you go to Lagos. But where Joe go?

[Joe Johnson]

Joe, where you at, Joe?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, it's storming.

[Joe Johnson]

Joe ain't paid his bill.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Joe said it was storming. Hey.

[Joe Johnson]

Nah, he set that up real quick so he can get off early.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, you know what? Joe didn't get a permission slip. Slide Ocho. So she done called him up.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey. Done got him up out of there.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay, they say LeBron definitely going to 76ers, Ocho. Like my grandma used to say, straighten your face up.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, come on, man. Come on, man. Again. Listen, my face is straight, but you're not being realistic. You're not being realistic realistic at all. All right? But I got. I got you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I like the Knicks drumming pickup. I do, too. They get a replacement. He's not the defensive presence that Mitchell Robinson was, but he's an off. He's a. He can rebound the basketball. He can set good, solid hard picks. So I like that pickup as well. Rob Pelinka finally gave AD a center no hand go.

[Joe Johnson]

Hey, that's a good one.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I don't think that. I don't think that's the center AD Was looking for. But if it helps, if it. If it helps, AD doesn't have to spend exert all of his energy dealing with those fives.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Playing with the fire.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, he'll take it. Who robbed the NBA more than Jonathan Isaac? I think he went back. I think he went back to Orlando. Argentina vs Cape Verde match was the greatest World cup match I've ever seen in my life. I don't know. I think that friend. I think France and Argentina last year in the World cup final was pretty damn good.

[Joe Johnson]

That was nice, boy. That was nice. That was a really good game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Ocho, how special was it to go against Reavis in 09? And why did Wilson win DPOY over Rebus?

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, man, Reevis is the real deal. He was the real deal. I've said it many of times. I don't think we'll ever see a season like that season that Darrell Reevas had with some of the receivers that he had to go against that year. And he ran the gauntlet. He ran the gauntlet and held everybody, if I'm not mistaken, maybe under 60, maybe 50 yards that season. That 2009 was special. It was special. And I don't think we will ever see it repeated in that manner with that amount of hall of Famers and great receivers under. Under. Under one DB's belt and holding them to absolutely nothing consistently. And I'm not talking about a scheme or a system. I'm talking about in your face, man to man. Yep, we going at it from quarter one to quarter four. Reevaluate was the real deal that year.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, guys. Don't know if you remember or not, but you guys shouted out my mom a couple of years ago. Her name was Miranda. Unfortunately, she passed away yesterday. I really want to thank you guys for taking time to pray out. Much love, Jalen. Any advice you got? Jalen, sorry about the passing of your mom. My thoughts and prayers from Nightcap go out to you and your family and all the loved ones that's impacted by this tragic passing. No, because everybody handles home going different. Yes, it doesn't get any easier. You get better at dealing with it over time. But you're never gonna forget your mom and the mere fact that you thought enough of her to ask her to shout us out lets us know the type of relationship that you had with your mom. So just take as much time as you need in order to. To pay your proper respects to her. Because it's gonna hurt for a while. Yeah, it's gonna hurt for a while.

[Joe Johnson]

Absolutely. Obviously, I lost Hurricane Paul in 2021. Memories. Memories. Allow those memories to jog and flow through the mind, man. Remember all the good times. Obviously, there are some bad times as well, especially with me. But the memories. The memories are the best thing. Pictures that you may have of your mom and you and you and her, you know, together, obviously, you know, look at those and just remember the good times, man. And it. It doesn't get any easy for me. It's still not easy. But I do. I remember the good times and the memories and the stories that we all tell my friends. And sometimes, obviously me, I. I try to make it my. My business, you know, to visit that grave site, man, every so often. I don't go as often as I should because I don't. I hate breaking down. I hate crying and being in that. Being in that mode in that moment. But, oh. Oh, man, that. That's one of the worst. One of the worst feelings in the world, man. But it's gonna. It's gonna get better over time.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Mr. Sharp, I recently sent my email to Shay Shay Media with a resume enclosed. I'd love to assist on your production team. I can carry equipment, run errands. I'm 39, single, no kids, can relocate.

[Joe Johnson]

Damn,

[Chad Ochocinco]

that's Ash in her team's department. But I have her take a look at it. Bro, the other night I said LeBron had a loaded bubble roster because you always compare LA era and LA before the Lakers had zero stars beside an injured Kobe. It's not. It's not hate. It's just facts. But when he had Powell, he. So you make it seem like Dwight Howard was Pete. Dwight Howard, he had Anthony Davis. Okay, so what are we doing? You said compare Russ. Zero. Besides the injured Kobe at 30, so we can compare Kobe at 30.

[Uncle Ocho]

At what?

[Chad Ochocinco]

How was Kobe when he retired? 36, 37. So let's compare. 32, 33, 34, 35, 36. Kobe. You just want to compare the years in which Kobe won. Kobe was still playing in 13, 14, 15 and 16. He was still playing. Ain't no hate. You make it seem like nobody else. Jamal Murray was on the. The Nuggets, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard.

[Joe Johnson]

The.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The Clippers were loaded. Everybody was loaded.

[Joe Johnson]

Right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

You make it seem like the Lakers were the only one that had their healthy players. Everybody else, with the exception of the Brooklyn Nets, had their healthy players. KD was still coming off an injury, so KD wasn't there. But everybody else had the healthy players. Bro, it's over. I get it. LeBron won the bubble. It didn't mean anything. Had someone else want it, it meant something. I get it. I get it. Going through a rough time tonight. Any advice how to deal with heartbreak, fellas? Especially with someone that you love so much.

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, whoa, whoa. Heartbreak? Wait a minute. What we doing? Tighten up. Pick your chin up. Hold your head up.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yes.

[Joe Johnson]

Heartbreak. What you talking about now? What happened? Take your time, huh? Who? Providing for who? Who was taking care of who? I understand you hurt, son, but put your pants up.

[Chad Ochocinco]

What?

[Joe Johnson]

Don't do. Don't do that. Don't do that. Now.

[Uncle Ocho]

What? You.

[Joe Johnson]

Is it your fault? Did you do something wrong?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Huh?

[Joe Johnson]

Now, if you messed up now, I understand.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

She left you. I need you to tighten up.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Gotta stay busy. Yeah, as busy as you can. It's never easy. Easy is. Look, I feel that easier is a lot. It's a lot easier breaking up when you're the one that wants to do the breaking up. If you're not the one that's ready to let it go, it gets become very, very difficult.

[Joe Johnson]

Shouldn't me? Hey, look at them expenses, huh? Think about how much money you're gonna save. She wanna go, go ahead.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And in a situation like that, you just gotta keep busy. I don't know why you guys decided to break ways. Maybe it was amicable. It doesn't seem like it was because you're heartbroken. But, bro, it doesn't get easier because you put tight. You. It seems to me. Listen, just reading what you said that you got. You put time in it. And the more time you put into something, the more invested you are in something, the more it hurts.

[Joe Johnson]

Shouldn't me? Hey, give me a call, boy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But be trying to stay as busy as you possibly can. And just remember, sunshine follows rain. It's not the end of the world, though it seems like it at times. But you're gonna be okay.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. You're gonna be all right. Send me a message. Well, send me your number. I'll make sure you're good. I bring you on down here to Miami. Bet you won't remember that no more, huh?
