[Brad]

Well, was anything gonna happen? Because you guys are football people. And I gotta ask both of you, what's gonna happen up here with Draybo up in Boston, in New England?

[Uncle Sports]

Lord have mercy. You weren't asking that question. Damn, I hope. We should have briefed you, Brad. Talking about. You can't ask that, Ocho. We should have told Brad. We should have gave Brad a list of things. Hey, and he can't ask.

[Ocho]

Listen, it's not.

[Joe]

It's not the first.

[Ocho]

Right, Brett? It's not the first, and it won't be the last.

[Joe]

It happens all the time.

[Uncle Sports]

What happened is people are looking at it and they say, well, Shannon, what about Sharon Moore in Michigan? What about IME in Boston? I say, guys, those are subordinates. Ms. Rossini is not an employee of the Patriots. Mike Vrabel is not a. Is a. Not an employee of the Athletic. Yeah, in that situation, it's different. So I get it. It's morally wrong. Both are married. They're gonna have to deal with that with their spouses. But now, hey, maybe it gets so hot that Mr. Kraft doesn't have a choice. But if the reports are true, he tried to catch and kill the story. So he knew about it before the world knew about it.

[Brad]

Well, the thing about. There were picture. He said that I wasn't involved with this woman, but then they went back and found pictures about six or seven years ago, he was kissing. Yeah, he was kissing. Kissing this woman at the bar. So I mean, that. That to me. And I'm not saying. I'm not saying, you know, I'm definitely not saying he should be fired or anything like that, but our society right now is really kind of different when we talk about stepping on toes and all this stuff. And he told the story saying, well, you know, you guys are crazy if you think it was a story. Well, you can't say that kind of stuff if it was a story.

[Uncle Sports]

But see, here's the thing. Because of your coach and your wife is really not visible, if they were out in public, you would think, okay, he's married, she's married. That's the couple. You don't know Mike Vos. You people probably have never seen his wife. You now the likelihood. Guess what? They're in different locations. They're not in New York. They're not in New England, so ain't nobody for the wiser. Ain't nobody know.

[Brad]

Well, we know.

[Shay]

Well, we.

[Uncle Sports]

Well, we know now. We know. Now, the thing is, Br, if you got a wife and nobody has ever seen her and you're out with somebody else, people going to naturally assume that's his wife.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

And so now guess what? We get this out. You know what? I saw them in the casino one time. I saw them in a bar, as a matter of fact. Let me go. Let me go through my. Let me go through my. My phone log. Let me see if the photos. See, I got a picture of them, too.

[Ocho]

Hey, you know what? And another part, I think maybe because I've been. Well, Joe, I mean, bread. You. You as well, Uncle. We've been in a lifestyle so much where we've seen so many. So many situations, so many cases, even some that weren't made public or we know about it behind closed doors, but we've seen situations like this so much. Like, so often over the years. It's like to others, the regular folk, like, oh, my God, look what's going on.

[Shay]

But it's normal.

[Joe]

He talked about.

[Ocho]

And I'm thinking back to myself.

[Shay]

I'm like, is normal.

[Ocho]

It's normal. Like in. In that world, like, y' all going crazy and acting like I'm like. And to me, I have to. I have to reset, and I have to think like, okay, you know what? They're not used to this. They're not used to seeing this, and they.

[Joe]

They.

[Ocho]

They use the words. What about, you know, morals and integrity? I'm like, oh, my goodness. I just wish you were part of this world for just a year, you know? And I mean, like, it.

[Joe]

It's different.

[Ocho]

And I think it's hard for. For people on the outside that aren't in that lifestyle. I don't live in that world to where it's like. It's. I'm almost numb to it because I see it all the time. All the time. That's like. I mean, I got in trouble for cursing at somebody about, like, why did y' all talk about this on Nightcap, Right?

[Joe]

This is a huge story.

[Ocho]

And I'm like, like, what the.

[Uncle Sports]

No, it's not.

[Ocho]

This shit happens all the time.

[Uncle Sports]

I had to remember, like, go ahead, Ocho, finish.

[Ocho]

No, I just had to think, like, I had to reset and remember, like, okay, everybody doesn't live in that world. They kind of understand it. So it's like, I get it now, in a sense.

[Uncle Sports]

And the thing Is Brad, you know, when you was in the league and when I got into the league, reporters would see things.

[Brad]

Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

And it never got out. You wouldn't. Hey, like, bro, that's because I just

[Brad]

saw your wife were hanging with you and they were doing some of the things. Same things you were doing.

[Uncle Sports]

They tried to get you to double swagma.

[Brad]

But Ocho can say. Ocho can say right now that, yeah, he's numb to it. But our world has changed from when we were in the league at one time. It's not like it was when we were all in the league. Even Joe, who's been more recently than us. The fact that the world has changed so much. The NBA, the standards, all the stuff around it. It's easier now to get women and all those things that happen. But at the same time, you owe a lot more. Aren't you, Joe? This situation.

[Shay]

It's easy for your ass to get caught too, with all these phones. Everybody gotta.

[Uncle Sports]

This right here. Yeah, this was the greatest invention.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

The worst invention. At the same time, with more relationships.

[Ocho]

Right.

[Uncle Sports]

Hold on a phone and that.

[Brad]

And this is this.

[Ocho]

This is this.

[Joe]

Hey.

[Ocho]

This is. Hey, this is the funny thing about it too. You think about technology, right? And how. And how far advanced we've come with. With cameras everywhere and camera phones and everybody having a phone out. Is all the things that are happening, happening today. They've been going on for years. They were happening before we were here. They were happening before my grandma was here.

[Joe]

It's just the fact that everything is

[Ocho]

magnified now because of technology, because of social media. So nothing is new in just being brought to light at a much more higher rate. That's it.

[Uncle Sports]

Yeah. Everything changed.

[Brad]

I remember Joe, I remember Joe Johnson said something to me and I. I love this. Yeah, Joe, I'm putting. Stepping on your toes a little bit. I remember when you got to Brooklyn and I saw you at the game one time. You like, man, I never see so many damn pretty women in my life in damn New York City. I said, you in Atlanta. Joe said, man, he said, new York City is on a whole nother level.

[Uncle Sports]

And you were playing with them.

[Brad]

Brooklyn, you weren't playing with them. The next.

[Shay]

Hey, man, New York different, bro. I was telling. Okay, Ocho. That. But, you know, it's just. I think it's just. It's just because we're. We. We have access to so much and we've seen so much, you know, the good, the bad, the ugly, that nothing really surprises us, bro. Like, it's. It's hard. It's hard to throw. To throw a fastball at me. And I. You know what I mean? I'm like, well, I done seen this movie before, you know what I mean? But it's like now. It's like now when you think your ass low, you ain't low. Somebody see your ass here.

[Uncle Sports]

Ain't no thousand eyes.

[Brad]

Ain't no down low no more.

[Shay]

Hell, no. You better keep your nose clean, boy.

[Uncle Sports]

I see guys. I mean, I see people all the time. I just pretend. Hey, how you doing? Nice to meet you. Hey, hey, hey, how you doing? It's nice to see you. I ain't never seen you before in my life, but it's nice to see you.

[Brad]

But here's the thing I think was really different about it was. And I was single at the time, but I didn't know that women invested in men the way we invested in them until I got traded to another team. Then I found out about.

[Uncle Sports]

Yeah, yeah, wait a minute.

[Brad]

I thought she was with. But no, she was with. No, but she was with. And you found out when you go to another team, it's all of a sudden, damn. Well, these women are working this thing. And now even more so when I think about the money and how big it is and all this stuff, I'm just. I'm just flabbergasted. I. I look at the.

[Ocho]

Who is your guy?

[Brad]

That. His wife is an actor and his wife is an actress and she got all that money.

[Uncle Sports]

He.

[Brad]

Former basketball player, played with the Knicks. Yeah, he played with the Knicks. He played with Cleveland also. He had to give us. His wife is famous right now. What's her name?

[Shay]

Chris? You talking about Tristan Thompson?

[Brad]

I'm talking about his wife right now is doing all these. These. These movies he does. He's on espn. Got real dark lips. You know who I'm talking about? The money he had to give up to his wife.

[Uncle Sports]

Ex. Wife. Yeah, he. Yes. Ex what?

[Brad]

The money he had to give up. I don't give a damn what the ex is. And that was the money he had to give up. He gave up four houses. I'm sorry. I'm up here.

[Uncle Sports]

You.

[Brad]

I might not be on the show ever again, but I'm preaching this thing right now.

[Uncle Sports]

I'm sorry.

[Brad]

I'm really sorry.

[Uncle Sports]

When. Go get us, man.

[Ocho]

Come on.

[Uncle Sports]

One night. Come on, man.

[Brad]

Come on.

[Uncle Sports]

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[Shay]

Like Martin say on thin line between love. Hey. She broke me down to my damn.

[Uncle Sports]

In front of the damn police station. Hey, hey.

[Brad]

I don't. I don't understand. I don't understand it. And I know we're in an era where we see players and we see. And celebrities cross together, but when I see some of the finances now, it's like. It's like Ant man gave his baby mama, gave her a million dollars, and she wanted to come back and said, no, no, no, no, homes. You ain't give me enough. He signed a new contract. I'm like, God damn, what is going

[Uncle Sports]

on in this world?

[Shay]

It's a scary. It's a scary. We're in scary times, man. For real. We really in scary times, bro.

[Uncle Sports]

You got to really be careful.

[Brad]

I think you should just go. I'll just go down to tootsies and give my money way down there.

[Uncle Sports]

I'm good.

[Fallout Media]

Oh.

[Uncle Sports]

Sean Watson has emerged from minicamp last week with the early lead over Shador in the quarterback competition and has the inside track to be named QB1. According to Mary K. Cabot, head coach Todd Monkin hopes to declare or at least identify as his starting quarterback by the end of mandatory minicaps June 9th through the 11th. Oo, I know it's early. Yeah, we were talking about this. Y. We looked at the $46 million salary.

[Joe]

Yes, sir.

[Uncle Sports]

It's hard for a guy to be a $46 million and be on the bench. Either he gonna start or you gonna release. Trade him or release him. But he wasn't gonna be there. Talk, take us away. Oo.

[Joe]

What.

[Uncle Sports]

What gave you the conviction that you say, you know what? Look, I understand Shador. He closed out. They got a new head coach, but DeShawn Watson gonna be the starter.

[Joe]

Yeah, I understood Desan Washington just understanding the business in general. Uncle and Joe especially the money that they invested in him, money that they can't get back. There's really nothing can do about it this year. What he's making is what he's making. So if he's making that and he's actually healthy this time and there's nothing wrong with him, Uncle Joe, he's gonna be in there as a starting quarterback. This is. I mean, people should know that from the outside looking in, you know what? Very well, maybe. Goddamn young. God damn it. Slipping my goddamn mind.

[Uncle Sports]

Shador.

[Joe]

Shador probably will be the quarterback of the future, but we won't know until DeSean plays this season and things aren't going well. That'll be the only time Shador unseats him as a starting quarterback. They gonna give desean Watson every ample opportunity to not only win this battle to justify the money that he's making. But to also put on film and audition for other teams after this season is up because obviously he won't be with Cleveland next year, Joe.

[Shay]

You know, and unless. Unless he have a hell of a year.

[Uncle Sports]

But that's what I would be afraid of, Joe. What I would be afraid of that Ocho. He has a hell of a year his injury history. Then what? I gave him another. I gave him another three year, four year deal. 150, $200 million.

[Shay]

They ain't gonna want to do that.

[Joe]

No, I. I don't think they.

[Uncle Sports]

That's the go. That's the going rate. How old Desh? Des not that old. Yeah, but what he 32 if he's bad.

[Joe]

But they still not gonna do that though. They still not gonna do that. Yeah, this. This is opportunity for him to be able to. To show what he can do for other teams that may still be 30 years old.

[Shay]

Guys, hold on, hold on, hold on. Oo hold on. You mean to tell me if this man goes out, gets the Browns to the playoffs, let's say they make it. Let's say they make it to the second round.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Shay]

You said y'.

[Fallout Media]

All.

[Shay]

Y' all don't think they'll bring him back.

[Joe]

No, that's not your quarterback for the next 10 years. Your quarterback for the next 10 years is probably sitting behind him.

[Shay]

I get that.

[Joe]

Yeah. No, no, I think they will move on. I just say he's starting this year just based on the salary and the amount of money he's making. They not going to have him on the bench, especially when he's healthy.

[Shay]

Has the schedule came out yet? NFL schedule came out yet?

[Uncle Sports]

No, I don't think I want to

[Shay]

see w. Them first six, seven games against.

[Uncle Sports]

We know. We know who the opponents are. We know like the NFC east is going to play the AFC west or something like that, but we don't know when they're going to actually play.

[Shay]

Okay.

[Ocho]

And that's.

[Joe]

That's gonna. That's gonna be interesting to know. This is. And you know, in a way it's a. It's a. It's a. It's a good thing, you know, for, for desean, you know, Joker. This gives him opportunity to show that he can still play at a very high level. And it probably won't be in Cleveland after this season, but it'll probably be somewhere else and showing that you can still get it done. You know, they put. They got the white reps around you. They had a very, very good draft.

[Shay]

Yeah, I agree. So I Agree.

[Joe]

I mean, I'm excited to see what they do. And Shadow will have his opportunity. He gonna get his chance. He'll get a chance where the team is actually his.

[Ocho]

He doesn't have to look over his shoulder.

[Joe]

You know, if things don't go right for desean this season, should do will step up. And once you step in, you got. Once you step in at that position, you got to close that door behind you.

[Uncle Sports]

Yeah, part of me agree with you, Joe, because I think desean can make it very, very interesting.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

Very difficult for the Brown. He goes out there and plays like we know he can play like what we last saw him. Now, we haven't seen this in a long time. It's been many, many years removed since we lost last saw desean. And many had him as a top three, top four quarterback in all the football.

[Shay]

Right.

[Uncle Sports]

We haven't seen that guy in a while. I don't know if he can get back to that. Injuries, shoulder injuries, Achilles, things like that kind of robbed him of some of his ability. But. But if he can get back to that, let's just say he's only 30. Yeah, he gets back to that. Ocho. He makes it very difficult. Now the question is, would the Browns be willing to invest another 150, $200 million in him? That's the question.

[Joe]

No, they allow that to be on someone else's books. They're bill around Shador for another two years until he's up. And that. That would make. That would make more sense to me than investing. I already paid a boatload of money guaranteed to him. You know, I'm allowed. I'm gonna let. Let that money go on somebody else's books that needs it. I'm gonna go young with Shador. Give me a good two, three years. That's all I'm gonna say Before. Before I, you know, before you had to. You got to pay him.

[Shay]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

McVeigh opened tonight's press conference saying he got so many texts about last night post draft news conference and wanted to clarify that he and GM Les Knee couldn't be more lockstep in every decision that we make. The Rams drafted Ty Simpson at number 13 and on McVeigh's brief response to the question and overall body language led some to speculate that he was unhappy with the Rams pick. Ocho, do you believe Sean McVay?

[Ocho]

Absolutely not. You know he was unhappy. He didn't like it. That came from upstairs.

[Shay]

He didn't want that big.

[Ocho]

That pick came from upstairs. Listen, I like Ty Simpson. I like what he did, you know, at Alabama it was cool. But he's not the one. Excuse me, let me take this back. He's not one that's going to be the successor to goddamn Matt Stafford. He's just not. Most of the time you see quarterback come in, are they gonna allow him to develop? Well, you just drafted a quarterback not long ago and Stetson Bennett, who you thought was going to be the one to be the successor, obviously he's not the answer and you're going on now you draft another quarterback. That position, Joe, is one of the hardest unknown. Find someone to evaluate because you don't know what you're getting until you put him in that situation under the goddamn fire. It's very, very, very, very difficult. Very difficult. That's why so many teams struggle to find one. So you have no choice but to pick someone that early. You have no choice because you don't want to wait, Joe. You don't want to be in. You don't want to be in quarterback purgatory like the Steelers are. You know, everyone's not going to be lucky. Like the Green Bay Packers. You're not going to be able to go from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love. It doesn't happen like that. They just, they got lucky.

[Uncle Sports]

Look like they gonna of of quarterback. Great quarterback play. Damn, you're. You're right, you're right.

[Ocho]

I don't know.

[Uncle Sports]

I think the thing Sean McVeigh got. Look, they got to be lock stepping barrel cuz Sean McVeigh got final say. Got. Got a lot of say. Sean McVeigh is just not a guy just oh, he the coach and he ain't got no say. He got a lot of say.

[Ocho]

Yeah, so I just don't think that was, that was his body language, his mannerisms. When that. With that pick, you can tell that went over his head.

[Uncle Sports]

The Rams became the first team to have a quarterback win the MVP, then select the quarterback in the first round of the subsequent NFL Draft since the Green Bay packers did in 1967. The Bart star won the award in 1966. And then Green Bay drafted Don Horn 25th overall the following year.

[Ocho]

It don't make no sense to me that it's, it's a, it's a pick that makes no sense to me because Mass Stafford, with the way he's playing at MVP level at 30 years old, ain't no telling when he's gonna give up. Ain't no telling when he's gonna stop. And people say, oh, his back was hurt in training camp last year. The devil is a lie. What? Nothing wrong with him.

[Uncle Sports]

45 touchdowns. He threw 45 touchdowns.

[Ocho]

Hey, Unc. Now you know. You know good and well we got load management in the NBA, right? Okay, you know what? My back hurt. I don't really need training camp. I know what to do. We talk about Matt Stafford. He played a lot of football. Ain't nothing wrong with his back. I mean if you, if you know, you know, I know what you're doing. You don't want training camp. You don't want to.

[Uncle Sports]

No, I, when you look at it though, when you look at it, I understand. And I think the thing is that people said this is the problem Green Bay ran into because instead of drafting somebody that could help Aaron Rodgers right now, you drafted a quarterback that was going to be two, three years away from play. They see this is a very similar situation. I mean, what player that you thought they was going to be able to draft that was going to come in and says, okay, I mean, you got Devonte, you got Puka, you got Kyron, you got. I'm just trying to figure who they, I mean defense, they're loaded. They loaded up on two corners. The safeties are solid. The linebackers are really good. The D line is outstanding. You got verse, you got young, you took the, the. I forget where the line was from. From Florida State. Fisk. I, I'm, I'm just trying, I'm trying to figure out oo. I mean, who do you think they could have taken that's going to come in right now and be a key contributor to this team?

[Ocho]

You know what?

[Joe]

You know what?

[Ocho]

I do want to take some back too. I want to, I want to take some back because the supporting cast and the defense is so good with Puka and devonte Smith, you could probably, you probably could plug Ty Simpson in. Probably could. Because the supporting cast around him is so goddamn good. McVeigh is such a genius when it comes to play calling and being able to play to his player strength. So whatever weaknesses Ty Simpson may have, maybe he can go in there and be efficient and be good. He won't be Matt Stafford. No, but I'm saying he will have time to develop. No, he will have time to develop and get better playing behind an MVP caliber Super bowl winning quarterback. But I'm just, I'm just basing everything off what I saw in college. Joe, that's all you was, you was okay at Alabama, but the bottom dropped out towards, you know, you know, that's, that's all I'm saying. I don't, I don't know.

[Uncle Sports]

Check this out guys. Because he was drafted 57th overall, Logan Jones will receive a lifetime supply of ketchup from the Krav Heinz Company. Jones didn't know the incentive of the draft slot until he was informed on a zoom after being selected. I love it. I'll take as much as I can get. Let's go. Ketchup.

[Shay]

He was driving 57.

[Uncle Sports]

He was driving for highest 57. Yeah.

[Shay]

Yeah,

[Joe]

that's Dope.

[Uncle Sports]

That's. That's mean. I mean, how much you. How much ketchup you. How many. How much ketchup you think you guys have eaten in the lifetime?

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Shay]

Y' all ain't never had ketchup on your chips like your lay's chips or nothing like that when I was younger. You gonna do it now?

[Ocho]

Ketchup? Ketchup on your chips?

[Shay]

[Uncle Sports]

On some lays, we used to put.

[Ocho]

I like Lays. I don't know. We used to put peanuts.

[Uncle Sports]

Remember? We put peanuts in the bottle? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You guess what? You drank all the Coca Cola. Peanuts stuck at the bottom. You never get them out. So. Hold on.

[Joe]

Wait.

[Ocho]

Where they do that at? Peanuts in your Coca Cola?

[Uncle Sports]

You have a Coke? You know Coke? Those bottles. So you put Peanut Filter?

[Shay]

Yeah, yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

You ain't never did that, what they do. Hey, hey, I know y' all did. I know Goodwill. Y' all put peanuts in y' all Coca Cola.

[Shay]

Hey, y' all ain't never. Y' all never mix popcorn with your chips. Yeah, Ocho. You never mix popcorn with your chips.

[Ocho]

I ain't never heard of that joke we had.

[Uncle Sports]

I ain't never heard of this. I forget. What is it called, Gorp. But they put popcorn, peanut and plain M M's and raisins.

[Brad]

We.

[Uncle Sports]

Me. We had that. We did. That was what you call them? That was. You know, that wasn't us. That was them, their parents.

[Shay]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

First of all, we wouldn't get no. You wouldn't get no M M's. You would get. You would get no popcorn. You damn sure would get no raises. You might get one of the three, but you damn sure wasn't getting all three.

[Shay]

Right, right, right.

[Uncle Sports]

I think it's called Gorp or something, but I don't know. But I'm saying, I think I was like the second or third grade and somebody. Parents brought that together. I think we're good. I was like, damn, y' all living it up over there, ain't it, man, Porter will get none of that. We got the wise. Hey, y' all remember the Wise potato chips. You weren't getting no lays. You weren't getting no ruffles. You weren't getting that good stuff.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

With the owl on the back.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

Huh? Yeah. That's what it's called. Yeah. But they.

[Shay]

They made.

[Uncle Sports]

It wasn't. It wasn't back then. I think they do it now, but it wasn't made. They made it so. Good old days. What?

[Shay]

What.

[Uncle Sports]

What you laughing at? At you. I'm saying that what it did. Yeah. See, y' all don't know. Y' all don't know about that. See, they gonna talk about. See, what they do. What, what. What people started doing is things that we started concocting. They started making it. They started.

[Shay]

There you go.

[Uncle Sports]

That what they started doing.

[Shay]

There you go.

[Uncle Sports]

We were doing that. They weren't even thinking about that. Stole our ideas. Ohio State wide receiver, Ocho and Joe just bought his dream car. He isn't even eligible for the NFL until the next draft. Just five months away from turning 21 years of age, Smith picked up a 2026 Lamborghini Urus starting at 250, a quarter of a million, which pocket change when you consider he's one of the highest paid nil athletes in the country. With a valuation of 4.2 million, thanks to deals with Adidas, Red Bull, Lululemon and Nintendo O. Jo Jo, if Nil were around when you was in college.

[Ocho]

Yes.

[Shay]

Hey, I ain't gonna lie. Let me tell you something. I'm gonna have me. Gonna have me some fly. See, when I was in college, y' all know what came out? What came out was some Expeditions and the Navigators. That's what came out when I was in college. They was the hottest day.

[Ocho]

Hey, Joe, remember, Remember excursions? Yeah.

[Shay]

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Shay]

Hey, get you a little Uris, a little Lambo or something, boy. Hey, I probably would have caught me something like that now. Yeah. I ain't gonna act like that. Hey, I'm just about to turn 21 and you mean, boy. Hey, hey. Ball out, Jeremiah.

[Joe]

Hey.

[Uncle Sports]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

[Shay]

You gonna put them things on there?

[Uncle Sports]

Hey, hey, you know, I had a little something. I had a little sub, bro hooked me up.

[Shay]

I had a.

[Uncle Sports]

A 300 ZX, you know what I'm saying? You know, this is T tops. You know anything. You know, I had a little thing. Then my senior had a 300 bins. You know,

[Shay]

but imagine if, imagine if you were making if you had 4 million though on your own. You making.

[Uncle Sports]

Oh, I had a sports car. Oh yeah, yeah. Hold on. You know, back then those big 560 Mercedes was out. Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

[Uncle Sports]

Probably something like that. Cuz I ain't really know. I ain't really know nothing about no little like ain't no. I ain't had. Never seen a Ferrari up close in person. Never have seen a Lamborghini. So I probably wouldn't even probably get, you know, what was out too. IRO Z, remember? No, IRO Z. Yeah, I remember Iroquois.

[Shay]

Yeah. I think nowadays you got so many of these young cats driving these Lambos and Rolls Royces here. You know, these kids see all that, they want that big. They want that.

[Uncle Sports]

Yeah, for sure.

[Shay]

Bentleys and all that.

[Ocho]

I still got that Miami mentality. And knowing me having that kind of money, the first thing I would, I would have did, being a little shorty, being legit, I would have got me a Chevy.

[Uncle Sports]

I was gonna say you get the don't or box.

[Ocho]

Hey, I'm getting, I'm getting a don't 73 convertible top, you know, on some

[Joe]

That's just the mindset. Especially when I'm that young out where I wouldn't be choosing, you know, nothing foreign, but my first car I would

[Joe]

want, I want, I want a damn Chevy.

[Ocho]

Yeah, yeah, boy.

[Uncle Sports]

Yeah, but I. I don't know. Hey, I might have to get me something with a passport. Hey, I ain't hold you. I might have to give me something with a passport. Hey, yeah, but hey, that ain't gonna be the first car. The first part we'll go. Hey, man, Porter. Definitely we're getting up out of there. She getting out of Route 4, Box 3. Well, listen, boy, these kids balling out of control, man.

Hey, hey, they need some real help and guidance too, bro.

[Uncle Sports]

Because you know, you get the stories that I hear about guys coming out had that nil and they seven figures to the tax man.

[Shay]

Think about it though, think about it. If you come from, you know, a family whose parents never had this type of money, hell it ain't just you spending. You know what I'm saying?

[Joe]

Yeah, but just to throw.

[Ocho]

I'm just, I'm just thinking about that boy being there.

I know. I'm. I'm just saying. But also, outside of being mad, you also. You also have to be realistic, you know, going into the series understanding, you know, there. There's a good chance, you know, we might not win a game. You're playing the best team.

[Uncle Sports]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Playing the best team out the goddamn West.

[Uncle Sports]

So I think what Joe said, and we talked about it. We didn't expect them to play this bad. I mean, think about it. Think about it. How many shots? Shay only went to the line three times.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

And look at all the threes. Look at all the turnovers they had.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

And they still beat you by 18.

[Shay]

And they only had 108 points. And you know they gonna have. They gonna have a couple of them games where they got 130, 140.

[Uncle Sports]

Yes. And you know, if they get. They get to that 130 week, the game need to be at 100.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Uncle Sports]

Because that's your best chance of winning. You not gonna outscore them.

[Ocho]

And the funny thing about it, too, Uncle Joe, you just said it too right. Shay didn't have a huge game, you know, offensively, one of the few games where he didn't score 20. Hell, he didn't score 30. But hell, everybody else contributed too.

[Joe]

Everybody else contributed too.

[Ocho]

So even if he does have off night, he. Hell, you still got to deal with everybody else.

[Uncle Sports]

That's the. That's the time that you like. Okay, Austin to think about it. LeBron took a back seat. To Austin. He took a back seat.

[Shay]

You know why? You know why? Because he didn't. He knew it was going to take him a little while to find his rhythm in time. And after missing the first, what, 15, 17 games. Yeah. He knew it was gonna take him a little while. The same with AR, bro. It takes a little.
