Nightcap Hour 2: Tyreek Hill TRADE RUMORS + Jerry Jones excited over Joe Milton

Speaker 1 Everybody knows Shaq, but off camera, he's just a regular guy.

Speaker 3 People never believe me when I say I'm just like them. I take out the trash, do dishes, and I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea or OSA.

Speaker 3 And a lot of adults with obesity also struggle with moderate to severe OSA. You know those scary breathing interruptions during sleep? The loud snoring, choking, and daytime fatigue?

Speaker 3 I knew I had to talk to my doctor. Don't sleep on the symptoms.

Speaker 6 Hey, I'm Lindsay.

Speaker 8 Hydrodonitis superativa, HS, caused bumps and abscesses that made me feel embarrassed. I talked to my dermatologist and started a treatment that works for me, Cosentix.
I found relief.

Speaker 10 Cosentix secukinumab is prescribed for adults with moderate to severe hydrodonitis superativa, HS.

Speaker 12 Don't use if allergic to Cosentix.

Speaker 13 Get checked for TB before starting.

Speaker 16 Increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur, occur, like TB or other serious bacterial, fungal, or viral infections.

Speaker 15 Some are fatal.

Speaker 10 Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, like fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches, or cough, had a vaccine or planned to, or if IBD symptoms develop or worsen.

Speaker 33 Jerry Jones says he has to pinch myself that we were able to get quarterback Joe Milton on their team. I really have to pinch myself that we got him.

Speaker 33 After last game, he ended up there starting for the New England. I'm just excited we had a chance to get him, and he hasn't disappointed.

Speaker 33 He's actually, we're more than just more and more encouraged by what we're seeing. Jerry's comment preceded the quarterback's preseason debut with Dallas, which didn't go too well.

Speaker 33 Milton completed 19 of

Speaker 33 17 of 29 passes, 143 yards, one touchdown, and an interception to go along with a 68.6 passer rating and 22 rushing yards.

Speaker 34 Hey, was it that bad? I mean, based on the numbers you just told me, it didn't seem like

Speaker 33 normally,

Speaker 33 normally, you got a starting quarterback that you're playing $60 million.

Speaker 33 How many times have you ever heard somebody hype a guy that you can only play one

Speaker 33 at a given time, hype up another guy that you got on your roster this year for certain.

Speaker 33 Is that normal?

Speaker 34 I mean, what does anything Jerry do? Is it normal based on all the crazy things that he said? No, so I mean, we can take what he said with a grain of salt.

Speaker 34 You know, you talk about my talk about CD. Now you talk about Joe Milton and how he looked.
And

Speaker 34 we're lucky I got to pitch myself again. And listen, every Jerry says some of the things that continue.

Speaker 33 Everything is hyperbole with Jeremy Jerry.

Speaker 34 Saying all the right things to continue to keep us Dallas Cowboys in the airways.

Speaker 34 That's all.

Speaker 33 I just

Speaker 6 look,

Speaker 33 I mean, Milton, he does have

Speaker 33 an arm. He has a cannon for an arm.

Speaker 33 But I don't know how much you think you're going to see him this year. You better hope you don't see Joe Milton.

Speaker 33 You better hope Dak stays healthy.

Speaker 33 You better hope.

Speaker 33 Because then you're going to be able to tell. I mean, Dak got two years left.
This one in one more year. Okay, he gets hurts again.
Lord, please don't let that man get hurt again. Knock on wood.

Speaker 33 But

Speaker 33 you need that in order for you to get to where you want ultimately want to be, Jerry, the word you really want to be, which is NFC Championship Games Super Bowl. That got to be healthy.

Speaker 33 You ain't getting there no other way.

Speaker 34 did you hear what you just said

Speaker 34 yes if that's what jerry really want had jerry shown you that's what he really wants

Speaker 33 okay

Speaker 33 but i just i i'm taking the pun myself now that's what i really want okay i got you i like it too

Speaker 33 because that's the that's the that's the that's the only chance you got i mean who's equipped i mean i mean let's be all the way 1000

Speaker 33 Who's really equipped if they lose their starting quarterback

Speaker 33 can still say, you know what?

Speaker 33 They can still get to work.

Speaker 34 But that's impossible. That's impossible because everyone has a number two for a reason.

Speaker 34 You lose your number one. Hell,

Speaker 34 throw your goddamn playbook out the window.

Speaker 33 Because the number one can do things. Look, I understand because the number one can do things the number two just can't do.

Speaker 34 That's the point of him actually being a number one. There's always a drop-off.

Speaker 34 There's always a drop-off. Hell, you think Josh Allen goes down? The number two can come in and do exactly what Josh Allen do?

Speaker 34 Lamar goes down. You think the number two on the broadball?

Speaker 33 Absolutely not.

Speaker 33 Because most of these quarterbacks are one-on-one.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 33 So Dak, Dak needs to be healthy. Yeah, he's gotten nicked over the last couple of years.

Speaker 33 But we know this. They're better when he's in the lineup.
Now,

Speaker 33 they tried to pull this thing out with,

Speaker 33 who was the quarterback? What was the quarterback name that everybody loves so much with the red hair the backup the dak

Speaker 33 Cooper Rush oh Cooper Rush I love Cooper Rush they need to let that go and stick with Cooper Rush

Speaker 33 really

Speaker 33 please

Speaker 33 I say are y'all are y'all serious with this I say are y'all serious with this yeah man look at the offense look what I said okay

Speaker 33 I said,

Speaker 33 the offseason is going to tell you everything you need to know about Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush was a free agent with no tag, no nothing.

Speaker 33 He went back to Dallas.

Speaker 33 Now, if everybody thought he was what they said at that position.

Speaker 34 Listen, they don't let things go that they value.

Speaker 34 If it's as good as you think it is, it wouldn't be available.

Speaker 34 It wouldn't be available.

Speaker 33 Jerry said he had to pinch himself. This can't be true.
Better got a chance to get Joe Milton.

Speaker 33 If he said,

Speaker 33 I can't believe we got Lamar Jackson. I can't believe we got Patrick Mahomes.
I had to pinch himself.

Speaker 34 You know what he should have been? He should have been saying, I can't believe we got Derrick Henry. I can't believe he was available.
That's what you should have been saying.

Speaker 33 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 33 He could have said that. That man lives in Dallas.

Speaker 33 And you ain't even call him?

Speaker 34 Man, Jerry don't know what he's doing, man. Well, but let me stop.
He said no one else can run that team better than he can. So

Speaker 33 I mean,

Speaker 33 he once said 500 people can coach that team.

Speaker 33 I think they're probably about 25 people.

Speaker 33 Every team's

Speaker 33 most untouchable asset is

Speaker 33 here. It is, Ocho.
You see the list right there. Whoa, whoa.

Speaker 34 Hold on. Ash, Ash, send that to me.
Now, you know, you only got one good eye. I can't see that.

Speaker 33 She already texted to me. Okay, okay.

Speaker 34 Oh, there it is, right? Oh, but Ash on point. Okay, now we're talking.
Now we're talking.

Speaker 34 Okay.

Speaker 34 Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yes.
Yes.

Speaker 34 Oh, that's a good one.

Speaker 34 I'm trying to think where I would.

Speaker 34 Yes.

Speaker 33 Man,

Speaker 33 the Eagles got every offensive lineman.

Speaker 34 I didn't even get to them yet. Let me see.

Speaker 34 Is that O-line? No, that's every, is that O-line or D-line?

Speaker 33 O-line.

Speaker 34 That's a good one.

Speaker 33 The Rams, most

Speaker 33 untouchable asset of Sean McVay. The Dolphins got Tyreek Hill.
They got Tyreek as the...

Speaker 34 Of course.

Speaker 34 of course that's why i don't know that's why the the conversation and just the the conversation of even being brought up is ridiculous despite the examples you gave me with with moss and teal yes but still we talk about one of the best in the game still to this day

Speaker 33 the mere fact that they got fred warner over a 50 plus million dollar quarterback tells you what you need to know we talk about fred warner We ain't just winning.

Speaker 33 Let me ask you a question.

Speaker 33 If Fred Warner was on Baltimore, would he be? If Fred Warner was on Kansas City, if Fred Warner was on Buffalo, if Fred Warner was on Cincinnati,

Speaker 33 is he their most untouchable asset?

Speaker 33 If he's on Philly, if he's on Green Bay.

Speaker 33 That's my point.

Speaker 33 How you get 50 plus million and you're not the most valuable commodity on said team.

Speaker 34 timing

Speaker 33 and

Speaker 34 timing and there were no other options

Speaker 34 timing and there were no other options

Speaker 34 shanahan

Speaker 34 who gives us our best our best chance to win

Speaker 34 he's not lamar jackson he's not josh allen he's not joe burrow but he fits the system that we run very very well

Speaker 33 i would have thought I thought, what you call it, I thought it would have been Christian McCaffrey if you're not going to say, oh, oh, what you call it.

Speaker 34 Christian McCaffrey is hurt every three days, huh?

Speaker 34 I mean, no disrespect to him.

Speaker 34 No disrespect.

Speaker 33 You got a point. You got a point.
Touche, touche.

Speaker 34 Hey,

Speaker 33 they got

Speaker 33 CeeDee Lamb for the Cowboys.

Speaker 34 That's a short team for the Broncos.

Speaker 33 Okay, and your point, you said that like surprise. Get the surprise out of the shit.

Speaker 34 You said CD Lamb. CeeDee Lamb, but he's their best player.

Speaker 33 He's better than Micah.

Speaker 33 Fold your arms. I don't know why you got your arms folded.
I knew I walked into that train.

Speaker 34 I knew you got me. Listen, wait, who, who? Hey, wait a minute.
Now, that's a conversation to be had.

Speaker 33 Oh, well, let's have a conversation.

Speaker 34 Hey, chat, talk to me. Who's the better player? Is it Micah Parsons or is it CeeDee Lamb? Because CeeDee Lamb is top five in his position.
Micah Parsons is also top top five at his position.

Speaker 34 But who's more valuable?

Speaker 34 That's a great question.

Speaker 34 And how do you determine the factor and who's more valuable to that franchise when both are top five at their position?

Speaker 33 CeeDee plays a dependent position. You can just line Micah up and just go.

Speaker 33 Ain't nobody got to get him the ball. Ain't nobody got to snatch.
Ain't nobody got to do nothing. He just go beat the guy.

Speaker 34 Oh, that's a good one. That's a good, that's a good one, right there.
That is a good one.

Speaker 33 I'm not, I don't see a whole lot. I don't see a whole lot of surprises.
The Jets with Sauce Gardner, I'm not surprised. Uh,

Speaker 33 Malik neighbors, okay. The Saints first-round pick, Drake May, Justin Jetta.

Speaker 34 But you went by that real, you went by that too fast now. The Lace first-round pick was

Speaker 33 no, they got to keep it.

Speaker 33 They didn't have no first round pick this year, did they? Who was the same first round pick?

Speaker 33 Who was that first round pick? Did I miss something?

Speaker 33 Yeah, I don't. What position did he play?

Speaker 34 Who was it, huh?

Speaker 33 Yeah. A first offensive tackle.

Speaker 33 They don't have

Speaker 33 a whole lot, Ocho. They got Olave.
They got Shaheed.

Speaker 33 They got Cam, but Cam's in year 15. Kamara.

Speaker 33 Yeah, Kamara.

Speaker 34 Damn.

Speaker 33 I'm surprised they got Panay Su. They got Panay Su for the

Speaker 34 absolutely.

Speaker 34 Well, he's a random.

Speaker 33 what about Jerry Goff?

Speaker 33 What about what about uh Gibbs?

Speaker 34 A running back?

Speaker 33 What about Alan Ra?

Speaker 34 Panay Seol

Speaker 33 Aiden Hutchinson, Panay Seol.

Speaker 6 Okay

Speaker 33 TJ, no surprise there.

Speaker 33 Um

Speaker 33 see how

Speaker 33 the Bucks is Tristan Worth.

Speaker 34 Yeah, Tristan Worth. Oh, Tristan Worth is the real deal.
He's the real deal. And I think if

Speaker 34 honestly, when you think about the Bucks, Tristan Worth, as great as he is, I would have went Mike Evans.

Speaker 33 As the most

Speaker 33 untradable?

Speaker 34 Untouchable?

Speaker 34 I would have picked Mike Evans.

Speaker 33 Oh, no.

Speaker 33 Over 26-year-old Tristan. How old is Tristan Worth? 25, 26, 26.

Speaker 34 That's what we're talking about, most valuable.

Speaker 33 No, untouchable.

Speaker 33 Look here, I like Aston Genty.

Speaker 33 He's 26.

Speaker 33 And he's already in the running for

Speaker 33 best office left tackle. Now, been Big Trent.
Now, when Big Trent is healthy,

Speaker 33 you taking Genty over Max Crosby?

Speaker 33 Well,

Speaker 34 not right now. So how did they put him already? Just because he was picked six?

Speaker 33 I guess that's how they did it.

Speaker 33 Ah.

Speaker 34 Damn.

Speaker 33 Damn, they took Marvin Harrison Jr. over Coller.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 34 I'm not. Well,

Speaker 34 you can, that's tough.

Speaker 34 That's tough. Most of the time, you would think the quarterback, quarterback number one, would be the most valuable, untouchable asset.

Speaker 33 Because he ain't just, I mean, like I said, he was rookie of the year. He's been been a Pro Bowl player, he's taken to the playoffs, so he ain't just some arbitrary quarterback.

Speaker 33 Eagles' three-time Pro Bowl guard, Landon Dickerson, um, was carted off the practice field today with a leg injury, unable to put any weight on it.

Speaker 34 That's not good,

Speaker 34 no, that's not good, especially not being able to put weight. I'm hoping, maybe, hoping if you can't put weight, I don't want to think the worst.
Let's say I'm hoping a high ankle sprain.

Speaker 34 Damn.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 33 But them linemen, they heal quick.

Speaker 33 Abdul Carter only played six snaps, OJo, during the team's preseason open against the Bills, but he made them count. He generated three quarterback pressures on his three pass rushes.

Speaker 33 He also held his own against Deion Dawkins in a couple of one-on-one matchups. Micah had high praise for Abdul Carter.
They asked me if Abdul could be another great.

Speaker 33 I told them he could could be the best one.

Speaker 34 Hey, listen, I saw those six plays too. And every move was completely different than each one.

Speaker 34 Every move, boy, hey, boy, he got a toolbox on him, boy.

Speaker 34 He got a toolbox on him. And then he popped out on film.
He's moving. Man,

Speaker 34 I knew he was nice, obviously. He wore the 11 for a reason.

Speaker 34 He asked to wear that 56 for a reason.

Speaker 34 Very promising. Very, very promising based on what I saw.
And again, it's only six snaps, but them six was nice.

Speaker 34 Inside, rib, hands.

Speaker 33 He's bendy, twitchy,

Speaker 33 have that Gumby-like flexibility.

Speaker 33 The Derrick Thomases, the Von Millers,

Speaker 33 TJ Watts, those guys that, you know,

Speaker 33 like, bro,

Speaker 33 how low to the ground can you get

Speaker 33 been

Speaker 33 running that circle? But that's a bare high praise. Told him he could be the best one.

Speaker 1 And now, superhuman Shaq.

Speaker 3 I keep telling them not to say that. I'm no superhuman.
Believe it or not, I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA.

Speaker 3 In adults with obesity, moderate to severe OSA is a condition where breathing is interrupted during sleep with loud snoring, choking, gasping for air, and even daytime fatigue.

Speaker 35 Hello, hello, this is Malcolm Glabel from Smart Talks with IBM.

Speaker 36 Today we're diving into a fascinating conversation with Stefano Pallard, head of fan development for Scuderia Ferrari HP.

Speaker 38 Your pronunciation is strongly American. It's more Scuderia Ferrari.

Speaker 36 I'm still working on rolling my R's, but what I was able to learn from Stefano was the importance of engaging the Tefosi, the Ferrari super fans in the digital age.

Speaker 38 Ferrari fans and super fans want to be part of something, want to belong to something. So they want to be part of a community and ultimately they want to be part of a winning team.

Speaker 39 You've got Ferrari, which has a long history, design history. And now you're interacting in a kind of digital space.

Speaker 35 I'm curious how you balance those two traditions.

Speaker 38 When it comes to fan engagement, it's really digital technology and digital channels are being able to create a deeper connection with our fans.

Speaker 37 To learn more about how Ferrari and IBM are using technology to build deeper connections with fans, visit ibm.com slash Ferrari.

Speaker 33 Tarren

Speaker 33 Armstead voices concern for Caleb's Williams' ability to read the game. Let's take a listen to what T had to say, Ocho.

Speaker 41 Caleb's process, as we talked about quarterback processes, Caleb, Caleb's process playing that quarterback position has to improve fast and pretty fast, in my opinion.

Speaker 41 On a consistent basis, Caleb was not able to recognize where he was in danger.

Speaker 41 He wasn't feeling pressure. He wasn't feeling blitzes.
He wasn't seeing blitzes and threats pre-snap.

Speaker 41 anthony weaver the dolphins defensive coordinator was able to send guys from from all different spots on the field and man a lot of those got home a lot of those would have been sacks

Speaker 34 you got a point on i mean in a sense he does in a sense he does obviously caleb rookie year last year so some of the things that

Speaker 34 He wasn't able to recognize right away. I mean, there's a reason why.
Because being a rookie, what do you want to to do in game as a defensive coordinator? You want to confuse him.

Speaker 34 What's the best way to confuse him? With movement and blitzes, things that he's not used to seeing. Different looks.
Things that he's not used to seeing.

Speaker 34 You know, I mean, it becomes very difficult disguising things and make him think it's one thing and at the snap of the ball, well, where the hell he comes from?

Speaker 34 But as time goes on and he gets used to seeing some of the things and being able to process things and pre-snap, being able to know what's coming before it even happens, okay, he bluff and he coming down but he really not doing that based on down and distance and based on what i've seen on film i'm gonna be i already know what's coming yeah right here tom brady and payton manning beat you up here

Speaker 34 they knew everything you were getting ready to do it didn't matter what you do blitzing coming down you know disguising it didn't matter It didn't matter because they already pre-planned and understanding what you're going to do based on down and distance, where they were on the field.

Speaker 34 They've seen that look before. You know what? I saw that with him.

Speaker 33 Yep.

Speaker 34 He's down in the box. You know, I know they're going to rotate this way at the snap of the ball.
So I know exactly where I'm going.

Speaker 33 Yep.

Speaker 34 But it takes time to get to that point. So I understand what T is saying.
But listen, that's what you do. That's what you do to a rookie to throw him off his throw him off his pivot.
You confuse him.

Speaker 34 Shoot. I mean, I shoot, man.

Speaker 34 Show us playing quarterback. Well, tell you.

Speaker 34 Blue 80.

Speaker 34 Blue 80.

Speaker 34 Uncle I just put my foot up, man. Uncle go in motion.

Speaker 33 No.

Speaker 33 Timeout. Our quarterback don't know what the hell he's doing.

Speaker 33 I'll call it timeout. Time out.
Timeout. Time out.

Speaker 34 I'm hoping to get you the ball, man.

Speaker 34 Run that corner route.

Speaker 33 Run that corner route.

Speaker 34 I'm hoping to get you the ball, man.

Speaker 33 Oh, Joe. Anthony Richardson having the best camp ever, says Colts captain Quentin Nelson.
Anthony is having the best camp ever.

Speaker 33 His energy going into year three, maturity, accuracy, spreading the ball around.

Speaker 33 Daniel Jones will start against Green Bay, but Richardson will see extended action and get the bulk of the work in the Colts' second preseason game.

Speaker 33 After completing just 47% of his passes last season, Richardson's priority this offseason was being being more accurate.

Speaker 34 Wait, what happened to the dislocated finger, huh?

Speaker 33 They probably popped it back in place.

Speaker 34 Okay, so they popped it back in place. And I guarantee you, when he does play, when he does get reps, I guarantee you these two, I bet they taped together.

Speaker 34 I guarantee you, because it's impossible to have a dislocated finger, it's going to have to be taped together because there's no way.

Speaker 33 No, it's all it's good. He's good.
You think so?

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 33 No.

Speaker 34 Hey, that's exciting. That's exciting for him, especially with that coming out of camp.
You know, him improving on some of the things that

Speaker 34 he needed to work on that we all saw.

Speaker 34 That's very promising. That's very promising.
And

Speaker 34 who started the first preseason game?

Speaker 34 So now Daniel Jones is starting this one, right?

Speaker 33 Yes, but they said he's going to get a bulk of the would see extended action and get the bulk of the work.

Speaker 34 Damn, but that's

Speaker 34 oh, I hope he has a good showing, huh? I hope he has a good showing.

Speaker 34 I really do.

Speaker 33 Now, Green Bay can get out to the quarterback now.

Speaker 34 Yes, they can. You know,

Speaker 34 it's one way to slow that down. Quick game.
Get the ball in and out. Let your quarterback get in the rhythm.
Let the quarterback get in the rhythm.

Speaker 34 You know, you're playing against a team like Green Bay. I'd like to consider them undersized and very fast.
Get the ball out. Get the ball out.
Allow your quarterback to get in the rhythm.

Speaker 34 You think Jonathan Taylor will play? No, probably not, huh?

Speaker 33 Nah.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 33 Don't nobody play. Right.

Speaker 33 I mean, if

Speaker 33 either one of these guys, if

Speaker 33 Anthony Richards had already proved himself, he wouldn't be playing either.

Speaker 33 Or he'd play one series.

Speaker 33 What I need to look at.

Speaker 33 Now, Andy, like Andy, old school, Andy, Andy, gonna get the reps in.

Speaker 33 But I think, Ocho, I could be wrong, but I think this year we are seeing more starters play than normal.

Speaker 34 Hey, I wonder, do you think, did we start that in Cincinnati? Do you think we started that? The fact that we need to play because we start so goddamn slow?

Speaker 34 Because it's funny that we haven't seen starters playing for a very long time in the preseason, huh?

Speaker 34 Until, well, hell, listen, if Jamar Chase playing, if Joe Burrow playing, if T. Higgins is playing, well, what the hell are we doing? And their team is much better than us offensively.

Speaker 34 Shit, we need to get our ass out there too.

Speaker 33 Well, you know, look, if you're starting, you're starting skill guys going, you're starting O-line going.

Speaker 33 That's the way how that works. You're not putting Joe Burrow out there behind the backups.

Speaker 34 No,

Speaker 33 that ain't happening.

Speaker 33 Exactly.

Speaker 33 So that's where you're like, hey, man, how long are you going? And

Speaker 33 I got into the second. I was like, okay, well, I got into the second too.

Speaker 33 Because as long as you out there, I'm going to be out there.

Speaker 33 Because I definitely don't want to come out. And then, hey, sharp.

Speaker 33 Because my mind go to a whole different place once I come out of the game.

Speaker 33 I'm pretty in preseason. You know what I'm saying? You don't come, you know, you know, you're not coming out.
You know, you might get a blow or something in the regular season game.

Speaker 33 But in the preseason game, all right, sharp, you down. Once you say sharp down,

Speaker 33 let me go ahead and take these pads off before y'all change your mind because y'all pull some quick, y'all try to pull some quick issue on me. I come up out of them pads quick

Speaker 33 and guess what, what? Get my sneakers.

Speaker 33 Cut my tape off.

Speaker 34 What if they tell you to get back in?

Speaker 33 All right,

Speaker 33 with sneakers,

Speaker 33 uh-uh.

Speaker 33 They already know. I was like, hey,

Speaker 33 I'll get confirmation. Y'all, sure.
We done?

Speaker 33 Yeah, yeah, we done. Hey, 84.

Speaker 34 Okay, okay.

Speaker 34 You're making sure.

Speaker 33 Yeah, yeah, man. Come on, Joe.
You go to a different place, man.

Speaker 33 Hey, you done? Man, I start taking off my tape. Nah, nah, ones, ones, one.

Speaker 33 Hold on, coach. Let me go.
Let me go find you somebody. Hey, you need to get in there.

Speaker 34 Hey, that's funny.

Speaker 34 Hell nah.

Speaker 33 The popular restaurant chain Houston's has rolled out stricter summer dress code, citing concerns over customers' increasingly casual attire.

Speaker 33 A notice shared by the restaurants asked patrons to please respect our summer attire standards, outlining specific clothing items that are no longer acceptable.

Speaker 33 For men, the updated policy bans hats, hoodies, sleeveless shirts, gym attire, t-shirts with large graphics such as team logos or concert designs.

Speaker 33 Footwear like plastic rubber or foam slides and flip-flops are also prohibited. Women are asked to avoid overly revealing clothing, lingerie, swimwear, large graphic tees.

Speaker 33 The same restriction on casual footwear apply.

Speaker 33 The policy has sparked discussion online with supporting the move as a way to maintain the restaurant's upscale atmosphere while others feel it limits personal style. Yeah,

Speaker 33 they ain't lying. I get the first hand.

Speaker 34 Hold on, first hand, which part? Which part? Are you for it or are you against it?

Speaker 33 Oh,

Speaker 33 I wasn't for it, but

Speaker 33 I had a situation where

Speaker 33 they took one of the coats off the ladies that actually worked there.

Speaker 33 Can you put this on?

Speaker 33 No.

Speaker 33 No, I didn't put it on. I was dressed.
I was dressed. I was dressed rather dabbled down.

Speaker 33 Now that I think about it.

Speaker 34 I think I've been to Houston maybe once.

Speaker 34 I don't frequent restaurants.

Speaker 33 Well,

Speaker 33 they have like Houston's. They have South Beverly Grill.
They have R ⁇ D Kitchen. So they have substances, Hillstones.

Speaker 33 So they have, it might not be known as Houston's, but they have, it's kind of like the similar mix.

Speaker 34 So if you've been if you've been to uh la south beverly grill is really houston what type what type of restaurants are these these are places you go in the evening right

Speaker 33 yeah i mean no they they open up at 11 you know you go sit to the bar they got i love the spinach dip they know they know when i come i like the spinach dip uh i'll normally get the burger or i get the dean's crispy chicken sandwich

Speaker 33 but you know they i used to love it when they had they had they used to have a chicken sandwich called the builtmore they no longer have that they used to have the the crispy uh uh the chicken tenders i used to love that they don't have that no more um

Speaker 33 now they have the cheese i think i don't know if they still have the cheese toast uh chat i know y'all know atlanta um i know if y'all know if they still have the cheese toast but they used to have the cheese toast because every time i would come back in town oak and i uh would always go there and we get the cheese toast but

Speaker 34 so yeah

Speaker 33 I get it, Ocho. Ocho, because sometimes these women, they be, come on now, Ocho.

Speaker 34 Oh, so they're changing the the dress code based on what people are coming in there wearing, looking appropriate, inappropriate.

Speaker 33 Yes,

Speaker 33 yeah, they're coming in there with slides on, flip-flops. Okay, you know, come on.

Speaker 34 Understandable, understandable.

Speaker 34 Houston's, they want you to come in and they want to cater to a certain crowd.

Speaker 34 They don't want that crowd to remain a certain level of, I don't want to say professionalism, but a certain level of cost.

Speaker 34 You know, be presentable, you know. But sometimes you have women that go dressed, they go to these restaurants and they're trying to catch.
So, how do you catch? You catch by revealing.

Speaker 34 You reveal men, men, we are visual creatures, we see, then we want to get to know.

Speaker 34 That's just that's the name of the game, that's the game in general that's played. So, I understand.
Good thing on you, Houstons.

Speaker 34 Good thing I don't frequent your restaurant often, but uh, that's good for you.

Speaker 34 I do, yeah, but you know, listen, for the men, for the men, we we go dressed appropriately.

Speaker 34 We go dressed appropriately, you know, put on some nice slacks, you know, some little loafers, you know, nice shirt, button up.

Speaker 33 Yeah, man, sometimes, man, they be coming there with tank top, coming there with tank tops. Tank tops.
Man, they say no hat.

Speaker 33 They say no hats, bro. When they say no hats, that means no hats.

Speaker 34 Hey, they, listen, they doing a little too much now. Is this the five-star restaurant? Is Houston the five-star restaurant?

Speaker 33 No, it ain't no five-star restaurant, OJo, but people don't want to come there and see your butt hanging out. People don't want to see you.
People don't want to see your pecks and your traps.

Speaker 33 your armpits

Speaker 34 it's hard to have my crap now so

Speaker 34 but understandable understandable

Speaker 33 yeah i i i look i get it i i totally get it uh

Speaker 33 damn i can't go no more i guess i can't because you know i'm athleisia dad right right yeah i mean i wonder if they got houstons in miami

Speaker 33 uh Atlanta, they got it, but Arizona, like I said, they call it it something else in California. They call it South Beverly Grill.
They call it R ⁇ D Kitchen. They call it Hillstone.

Speaker 33 Hillstone is the parent company.

Speaker 33 I'm trying to think. They got them anywhere else.
I don't know.

Speaker 34 Yeah, you know, when I think about it, too,

Speaker 34 when I think of restaurants that have a dress code that extreme, like that's really not a place for me anyway. That's not a place for me.
You know, I love, listen, I.

Speaker 34 I love wearing my baggy sweats, my baggy hoodies, a pair of sunglasses, and some flip-flops. Like, I need to be able to go to establishments like that that accept that kind of attire.

Speaker 34 I just want to go in there. I want to smoke a cigar.
I want to order. You know, so that's the

Speaker 34 I can chill. They got a patio.
You know, I love my Twin Peaks. I love my Bahama Breeze.
You know, I love my Cuban spots here. I love ball and chain.
Just simple stuff. Over in, I got to take you.

Speaker 34 I got to take you to the Jamaican spot. I got to take you to the Jamaican spot in Wynnewood by the name of Dukanu.

Speaker 34 You would love that. You know, I just.

Speaker 33 They got some good jerk chicken. What?

Speaker 34 Oh,

Speaker 34 my goodness. It's a little spicy, though, honk.
You like hot food? Can't you like spicy?

Speaker 33 No, I don't.

Speaker 34 No. But hey, I tell him, tell him to make sure no spices.
Allow him to get that jerk chicken pasta. Man, they got everything, all type of drinks.

Speaker 34 It's nice. So I like restaurants like that where I can be myself, dress myself.
And just relax, have a good time. All that dress code and putting on nice stuff.

Speaker 33 I ain't got time for that i oh joe you ain't got to be in no three piece you ain't got to be no you know

Speaker 34 you know i listen i like listen i i i like to put that shit on every blue boom

Speaker 34 but you're not going to tell me in order to enjoy the food at your establishment that i'm coming to I got to be dressed to the T and dressed to the nine. Like, come on.

Speaker 33 Nah, it's not really like that, but it's about the others too. You know, a lot of times we go places and we just think about us, ourselves, and we're not thinking about the others that's also there.

Speaker 33 And, you know,

Speaker 33 everybody, you know, while you might have an outstanding young lady accompany you, you know, everybody doesn't want to see her

Speaker 33 body

Speaker 33 like that. So I get it.
I totally get it. And, you know, and I'm cool with it.
I'm cool with it. You know, I've been places that, you know, I didn't know at the time.

Speaker 33 And it's like, well, we don't lie. Okay.
Okay. I ain't finna argue.
I ain't finna go back and forth with you. That's your culture.
Right. Right.

Speaker 33 I ain't finna argue back and forth with you. You know, you say that's what, you know, you don't, you don't allow that.
Okay. I'm cool with it.
I'll find someplace else to eat.

Speaker 34 I don't know. I don't know.
I don't ever seen.

Speaker 33 No, no, no.

Speaker 33 It ain't that type of part of the meeting. Hey,

Speaker 33 you know, but that's why. I can always go to old reliable chops,

Speaker 33 call them. They're going to have, you know, a going to have what I want on the, what I need, you know, my guy, go, okay.

Speaker 33 You know, they're gonna have a plate, a dry plate, no sauce on the plate. I want no, nothing on there.
I just want my steak on a dry plate. They're gonna bring it to.

Speaker 34 Hey, they know you. It ain't nothing like going to a restaurant that you frequent, you know, and I

Speaker 34 know you know what you like. And, you know, I don't understand people that are foodies, people that are foodies that continue to go to restaurants and try different things.

Speaker 34 It would make me so upset to go to a restaurant I've never been to before because I'm a foodie and try something and it'd be disappointing.

Speaker 34 That has to be one of the worst feelings in the world to go somewhere and you try something that looks good on the menu and it's not up to par. So then what do you do? You order something else?

Speaker 34 Do you send it back? Like I'm not one that likes to send food back.

Speaker 33 I'll sit in back here with it. Well, like you said, Ocho,

Speaker 33 I frequent pretty much the same restaurants. So they kind of know when they see me that a cranberry ginger ale, Mr.
Shark,

Speaker 33 Burger, meat and bun, medium, fries.

Speaker 34 Yeah, that's me.

Speaker 33 So they kind of, they kind of, they kind of, like, when I go, like, I kind of go, pretty much go to the same places. So they kind of pretty much know what I want.

Speaker 33 Mr. Sharp, you know, Chef said that, you know, he knew you was coming and they have the Kobe

Speaker 33 eight all the way to 16 ounces. Would you like, you know? He said,

Speaker 33 yeah, let me get that eight. Let me get that eight ounce.
Medium.

Speaker 33 So they're familiar with me because I kind of go to the, I'm like you, Ojo. I like knowing.
Now, you know, sometimes, you know, hey, somebody wants to go to a different place. I'm cool with that, too.

Speaker 33 I'll try. Because if worst come to worst, most places got a burger.
And it's hard to mess up a burger. It's really hard to mess up a burger.

Speaker 34 It is.

Speaker 33 If you just, hey, medium, meat and bun. Now don't bring it out there with no lettuce, tomato, onions, and ketchup.

Speaker 33 I just told you, meat and bun

Speaker 34 that's what i want i mean listen though i mean

Speaker 34 like and those those nice five-star restaurants are cool especially they're time of the place for all especially down here in miami you know they got they got fish sexy and and tks and and chris ruth and barbon s tk you mean huh

Speaker 34 s tk that's what i just said that huh i talked about five

Speaker 34 no that ain't what you said but i'm just saying stuff like that i mean it's cool oh yeah yeah okay i i thought i i thought that's what you meant but i was like is there a different type of restaurant with those same initials just misplaced i think i think that's what i said poppy steak like that like at times i have to frequent those when i go on dates with with with with the missus it's really not something that i like or enjoy but to appease her you know and wanting to put clothes on and and get dressed and and look nice but i always get the same thing everywhere they're gonna have salmon they're gonna have steak they're gonna have mat potatoes they're gonna have a green they're gonna have broccoli or they're gonna have spinach one or the other, cream spinach.

Speaker 34 So, I just go, I go to these nine places, but I never change what I eat because I know. Listen, I know if I get salmon, I know if I get steak, medium well, boom, butterfly, I'm gonna be all right.

Speaker 34 I'm gonna be all right.

Speaker 33 What kind of steak you getting? You got to get it, butterfly, look, eight ounce, look, eight ounce.

Speaker 34 I don't do nothing, I don't do nothing outside of eight ounces.

Speaker 33 Boom, oh, Joe, just get it. Just get it medium.

He says, Bring me my steak.

Speaker 33 A good vet could have saved it.

Speaker 34 Whoa.

Speaker 33 I didn't know I'm God.

Speaker 34 I said, when you think about meeting him, I don't want to cut mistake, and I got blood flowing. Like,

Speaker 33 he want he wanted red, he want a

Speaker 33 cool pink, a cool center, not no warm, cool. Oh, no,

Speaker 34 no, absolutely not.

Speaker 33 I don't know.

Speaker 33 I need to get down to Miami on your so we can go out

Speaker 34 listen what i'm

Speaker 34 on the presentation the aesthetics when you order the tomahawk steak

Speaker 34 yeah man i ain't paying no thousand no no no you you good we good we good you ain't got to pay for it you ain't got to pay for it see when i go to poppy steak i don't frequent it often i don't frequent often but when i do everything free is on the house it's on the house Yeah, yeah, yeah, you good.

Speaker 34 You good. You good.
I got you.

Speaker 33 Let me try to let me see if I can give me a flight down there.

Speaker 34 The experience in itself the aesthetics the presentation

Speaker 34 the service the hospitality um when i now now now that i put on the suit because i know what i'm getting

Speaker 34 i i go there maybe once a year maybe once a year that's it because it's it's too much yeah it's too much like right you know oh my goodness

Speaker 34 yeah just just think about it

Speaker 34 Oh my goodness, man. Uncle's name.

Speaker 33 But I love, but I like, but look, look, I've been going to Houston since

Speaker 33 I moved to Atlanta in 1994. One of the first restaurants I went to, the old one that was on Lenox Road, which was really close to the house, they closed that one down.

Speaker 33 There was one in Dunwoody that they closed down also. So now they just have the one on Peach Tree and the one over there on 41, Northside, Northside Park, Northside Drive.

Speaker 33 But I don't have no problem with it. I mean, look,

Speaker 33 because, you know, sometimes you just want to keep, you want to keep the clientele high-end.

Speaker 33 You know, I ain't saying you got to have a three-piece suit and everybody make $100,000 or $500,000, but you know, when you start letting certain things in, you know, certain types of dress code.

Speaker 34 Yeah, it thing changes. And it's always us, huh?

Speaker 34 It's always us, you know.

Speaker 34 It's unfortunate. It's unfortunate that restaurants have to change their dress code to keep a certain type of individual out, you know, and they have to spend money just like everybody else.

Speaker 34 They end up spending money just like everybody else. And I hate when it comes to that, but hey, it is what it is.

Speaker 33 Oh, yo, Bahama Breeze closing down.

Speaker 34 Bahama Breeze is still open right down Pines Boulevard. They ain't closed down yet.
Now, I heard they're closing some stores. I'm hoping they're not closing the one right here on Pines.

Speaker 33 They're closing all Bahama Breezes. Oh,

Speaker 34 you serious?

Speaker 33 Capital A-L-L.

Speaker 34 Wait a minute.

Speaker 34 Why when you say all, is there a

Speaker 33 you the spelling beach app?

Speaker 34 So not when when is there a certain date? Is there a date they be closed by this date and then no more?

Speaker 33 Will you take your colored self there and the door is locked?

Speaker 34 I'm just saying, you just said it. I'm saying, do you see somewhere with a date saying, okay, this is our last day?

Speaker 33 When the official, when is the official?

Speaker 34 Oh, man.

Speaker 34 Oh, that sucks, man.

Speaker 33 You find a new spot.

Speaker 34 I mean, but listen, you got to think. When I go to Bahama Breeze, I get the jerk chicken pasta.

Speaker 34 I love it. When I get a side of side of

Speaker 33 is that the place that you go take me?

Speaker 34 No, no, no, that's Bahama Breeze. I'm going to take it to Dukanu.
Now, that's the original Jamaican restaurant. I can get jerk chicken pasta there too.

Speaker 34 You know, and but they make it spicy, dog. They make they make it real spicy.

Speaker 34 I get my sweet plant there, but then you can sit outside on the patio and you can smoke your cigar, kick your feet up, relax, you know, and just chill.

Speaker 34 Yeah, like this.

Speaker 33 well they left the highest performing restaurant open so that might be the one that you'd be going

Speaker 33 yeah but they're trying but they're trying to find a buyer well how much they looking for how much they want

Speaker 33 don't start me to lying okay and now superhuman shack

Speaker 3 I keep telling them not to say that. I'm no superhuman.

Speaker 35 Hello, hello, this is Malcolm Glabel from Smart Talks with IBM.

Speaker 36 Today we're diving into a fascinating conversation with Stefano Stefano Pallard, head of fan development for Scuderia Ferrari HP.

Speaker 38 Your pronunciation is strongly American. It's more Scuderia Ferrari.

Speaker 37 I'm still working on rolling my R's.

Speaker 36 But what I was able to learn from Stefano was the importance of engaging the Tefosi, the Ferrari super fans in the digital age.

Speaker 38 Ferrari fans and super fans want to be part of something, want to belong to something. So they want to be part of a community and ultimately they want to be part of a winning team.

Speaker 39 You've got Ferrari, which has a long history, design history, and now you're interacting in a kind of digital space.

Speaker 35 I'm curious how you balance those two traditions.

Speaker 38 When it comes to fan engagement, it's really digital technology and digital channels are being able to create a deeper connection with our fans.

Speaker 37 To learn more about how Ferrari and IBM are using technology to build deeper connections with fans, visit ibm.com

Speaker 6 Ferrari.

Speaker 33 Oh, Joe, check this out. You're going to find this very, very interesting.
A recent survey reveals that 91% of people are no longer friends with someone they once called their best friend.

Speaker 33 The main reasons are life changes like personal growth, moving to a new place, shifts in work or studies, making it harder to maintain the same bond.

Speaker 33 Experts emphasize that drifting apart doesn't imply anything negative. It's often a natural result of evolving priorities.
Many still cherish the memories, even if

Speaker 33 the emotional closeness fades.

Speaker 34 That's a good thing too, huh?

Speaker 34 That's a good thing.

Speaker 34 Listen, it's not just friendships. It's not just friendships.
Relationships are like this as well, because over time, there's always growth. There's always growth on both parts.

Speaker 34 But sometimes when you do grow.

Speaker 33 But if we don't grow together, together, we'll grow back.

Speaker 34 Exactly. And then the funny thing about it is when it comes to growth over time, listen, the honeymoon phase is beautiful.
Year two is beautiful.

Speaker 34 Year three, some of the interests, some of the things you like, you tend to change as time goes on.

Speaker 34 And most of the time, as you grow and you evolve, as you get older and things change, most of the time you grow is this way. No matter what.

Speaker 34 Or sometimes you have to lose a sense of self, depending on how much you love the individual where sacrifice comes into play huh i'm gonna sacrifice you know what i might like this but i'm gonna sacrifice because i don't want to lose you

Speaker 33 right

Speaker 33 and did i

Speaker 33 and first of all did i only like these things to begin with because of you

Speaker 33 Because a lot of times, look, sometimes, Lojo, you'll go places and you'll do things because that's what she likes. But this is what I tell people.
Now,

Speaker 33 if that's not sustainable, if that's not something you want, you're going to continue to do, it's going to cause a problem.

Speaker 33 It just is because she's going to say you changed, or you're going to say she's changed.

Speaker 33 It's not always the guy. Sometimes it's the ladies that will do things just to appease the guy.
When in actuality, that's not what you want.

Speaker 34 Most of the time, you know who's at fault though, Uncle You think about it? You know who's at fault most of the time? Most of the time, it's us, Uncle when we meet somebody new.

Speaker 34 Or when we meet somebody new, well, we go head over heels

Speaker 34 above our means we do and we set a precedent and the funny thing about it when you set that precedent depending on who you are depending on your revenue and your financial status you go crazy in the beginning and she's expecting well hell if he's doing it now i'm thinking i can just imagine with once he gets to know me and you know we get locked we get really locked in oh right no it it listen you reel him in And when you reel him in, there's a certain level of comfort that comes along when time sets in and what he did to get you.

Speaker 34 It normally doesn't stay like that for a very long time.

Speaker 34 It normally does.

Speaker 34 That's life in general. So we kind of set ourselves up in the beginning because we do all this extra stuff trying to do your ring.

Speaker 34 And then once you get, once you catch what you got, you rarely continue to do the things you did to get it. Rarely.

Speaker 33 What you do to get and what you do to keep are entirely two different things.

Speaker 33 So that's, you know, that's kind of how it has to play out. It's

Speaker 33 that's, and that's what makes dating, that's what makes relationships because you change.

Speaker 33 The person that you meet the very first time is not the person you're going to be six months, a year, a year and a half, two years, three years from now. That's not the same person.

Speaker 33 You grow, you change, you evolve.

Speaker 33 Also,

Speaker 33 expectations

Speaker 33 evolve. Expectations change.

Speaker 33 I met you. I really didn't have a whole lot of expectations.
Hey, I'm just having a good time. We're going to go out to eat.
We're going to talk. I'm going to learn a little bit about him.

Speaker 33 I'm going to learn a little bit about her. Ex-Y.
Wait a minute, hold on.

Speaker 34 First of all, when you meet people, whether it be women, whether it be men, when you meet people, the first thing you do is you put your best foot forward.

Speaker 34 Never truly your real self. It's your representative.
It has to be your representative.

Speaker 33 Yeah, not by Asia. You talking about Asia.

Speaker 34 That's it. Because the first thing women say, well,

Speaker 34 he's not the same person I met. Well,

Speaker 34 obviously, because if he was actually your true self, the chance of getting you would have been out the goddamn window.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 34 You know, so you always

Speaker 34 need someone's representative. Always.

Speaker 34 Every time. And depending on who the woman is, the guy don't even have to lie.
She'll lie to herself, depending on who you are.

Speaker 34 Hey, that was a bar. That was a bar, too.

Speaker 33 Yeah, y'all write that down.

Speaker 34 Y'all write that down. Ooh, I'm feeling good tonight.

Speaker 33 So, yeah, it does. I mean, because a lot of, oh,

Speaker 33 best friends in college, okay,

Speaker 33 y'all don't stand, because you're in college, Ocho, you in close proximity. You see them in the dorm, you see them in the student center.
You might share same classes.

Speaker 33 You on the football team, blah, blah, blah, boom, boom, boom. But then, okay, let's just say for the sake of argument, I went to the league.

Speaker 33 They finished up school. I came back.
Hey, we picked right up where we left off. But then I left.
And all of a sudden, I didn't come back as much.

Speaker 33 And now a year, not five years, not 10 years, not 15, 20, it's not the same. The same thing in high school.

Speaker 33 Okay, if we don't go to the same college, when I come, maybe my break is different than when your break is. Maybe they went to the military.

Speaker 33 Now, all of a sudden, class reunion, I didn't go to the five-year. I went to the 10.
I missed the 15, missed the 20, missed the 25. Now next year, we got 40.
So it's been 25.

Speaker 33 It's been 35, 30 years since I last last saw some of these people.

Speaker 33 So my best friend when I was 18, there's a good chance it's not going to be my best friend when I'm 25 or my best friend when I'm 30, 35, 40. We're different people.
They're different people.

Speaker 33 Some of us got grands. Some of us got great grands.

Speaker 34 I don't like that. I don't like everything, everything you're just saying.
It put things into perspective and reality sets in. So how? What's the answer? What's the answer?

Speaker 34 Now, you got to be therapist for everybody in the chat that's listening right now. Will relationships over time

Speaker 33 people grow. No, it's not always a bad thing.
Because sometimes, Ocho, you just move.

Speaker 33 You remember the movie in life, how they started spanning and everybody started getting gray and everybody started dying off?

Speaker 33 That's what happens, Ocho. You just move away.

Speaker 34 Yeah, but listen, how do we fix that? What if you don't?

Speaker 34 But I'm tired of shit drifting apart. I'm tired of things falling apart.

Speaker 33 What if the partner is not going to keep it together?

Speaker 33 I want to grow here.

Speaker 33 Oh, you talk about, oh, you talk about with your friends or a partner.

Speaker 34 That's some old.

Speaker 33 Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay, yeah. Well, you got to work at it.
Oh, Joe, oh Joe.

Speaker 33 It's easier to grow apart than it is to grow together

Speaker 33 because

Speaker 33 it's easy for you to say effort. It's easier for her to say eff it.

Speaker 33 People like our grandparents and our great-grandparents, and how they worked at it, they worked to stay together because now

Speaker 33 people ain't working like that to stay together.

Speaker 34 You have to understand our grandparents, obviously, they didn't have very many options. There was really nowhere else you can go back then.

Speaker 34 Yeah, so now you got social media. People think they have all these wonderful options.

Speaker 34 Come on, now.

Speaker 33 And at the end of the day, no, it's not what you're thinking.

Speaker 33 You're going to have to, you're gonna have to do it if you don't do it for her you're gonna have to do it for this one if you don't do it for him you're gonna have to do it for that

Speaker 34 you're gonna have to you're gonna have to sacrifice something you do you're gonna have to you're gonna have to that's what you know what it i'm getting married tomorrow i ain't got time for this i'm going to courthouse how you laughing huh i listen i'm i'm listening i'm i'm i'm tired man i'm tired i could barely walk it take me five minutes to get up in the morning you hear me you mean it's like it's time it's it's time and i've been practicing i've been practicing so i'm going to the courthouse tomorrow i'm going to i'm going to call i ain't got time for this i ain't got time yeah i mean you may bro when i in the middle of the night oh you're sometimes i get my i sit at the edge of the bed have to think about it like damn do i really got to go to the bathroom

Speaker 33 man

Speaker 34 like sometimes like oh man just it's just having a having a having stability having a having a partner being hey listen being able to be vulnerable on it's it's such a beautiful it's such a beautiful thing it's such a beautiful thing but

Speaker 34 it's having and having the right person to be able to do that with is the hard part.

Speaker 34 That's the hard part, you know? Finding that individual, I can just let it all go, just be vulnerable. It's like having a therapist without having to pay the bill.

Speaker 34 You know,

Speaker 34 it's a joy to be able to have those uncomfortable conversations with someone that's not going to judge you. I'm not going to judge you.

Speaker 34 You know, being able to communicate,

Speaker 34 sometimes you have to be careful because the things you communicate with certain people, they use it back against you.

Speaker 33 That's why sometimes it's hard to be vulnerable.

Speaker 33 Man, throw it up in your face. Ocho,

Speaker 33 the end of an era. What happened

Speaker 33 on September 30th, 2025?

Speaker 33 You've got mail will no longer be

He think he's slick. But I told him, I keep telling you, you can't be slick to a a can of oil.

Speaker 33 And he thought we told me what time it is.

Speaker 34 Wait, hold up. I need to say that one more time.
Why you wear a watch?

Speaker 33 Because I want people to know how valuable my time is.

Speaker 33 Because most people, most people don't look at their watch to tell time.

Speaker 34 Come on now.

Speaker 33 So

Speaker 33 if you're not, so what is it? I mean, obviously, you know, you have collectors that value watches and, you know, they amass an amazing collection.

Speaker 33 But for the most part, people look at their phone to get the time. That's why they fall.
Hey,

Speaker 33 if they're working at a desk, they hit their phone, 903. Okay.

Speaker 33 Very few times people look down at their wrist to tell the time.

Speaker 34 God is good because those I have kids from,

Speaker 34 my goodness, but it was dropped down from the heavens above.

Speaker 33 Well, hopefully you dropped down that $5,900.

Speaker 34 I did because I got the $5,900 because of them. That's why I got it left over because of them.
So, you need to thank them. When I pay you, you need to thank them.

Speaker 33 gonna

Speaker 33 make it probably not gonna happen. Laney Ray said, Hey, fellas, who do you think will be the next bingo and next Bronco to join the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 33 I'm trying to think next Von Miller probably be the next Bronco.

Speaker 33 Bingo, Ocho.

Speaker 34 Oh, probably Jamar, whenever he's done.

Speaker 33 Yeah, it's definitely gonna be Bon.

Speaker 34 Hey, matter of fact, hey, you know what? I'm just on off topic. Please tell me, you ever heard an artist by the name of October London? You ever heard of him, Uncle?

Speaker 33 That name sounds familiar.

Speaker 34 Listen, I forgot. I was at the cigar bar and someone was listening to October London.
And I was like, man, who in the hell is that?

Speaker 34 I came out, he came out last year. Maybe he's been out before that.
Listen to a guy from last year, 2024. Uh, this MF is so

Speaker 34 nice.

Speaker 34 Not to be mainstream because he was mainstream, I would have known about him already. Oh, he, you're right, October A chat.
Y'all check him out. I don't know if y'all heard him before.

Speaker 34 Name is October London. He has an album called October Nights.

Speaker 33 Nice.

Speaker 33 I've heard of him, but I haven't heard it.

Speaker 34 That's about our kind of music.

Speaker 34 Our kind of music. Relax and chill.

Speaker 33 Yeah, yeah. Well, that's right on my alley.
That's what I'm looking for.

Speaker 33 Elijah Moses said: the fact that Shuck was a college teammate of Justin Herbert, and Herbert is ending his sixth season, and Shuck is in his rookie season. Shuck ain't the answer.

Speaker 33 Like Ocho said, we got to get got to go to the legacy in number 16 when he's available.

Speaker 34 That's crazy. So I'm assuming Shuck stayed back longer to, what, prove himself?

Speaker 33 Transfer. You know, them COVID years, man,

Speaker 33 guys getting seven, eight years.

Speaker 33 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 33 Yeah,

Speaker 33 they're professional students.

Speaker 33 Mike might have said, Uncle Ocho can't wait for Sanders to overcome all the hate and disadvantages and make Browns champions. Ocho challenged Jerry to a match in Madden.
Heck, we can have him, Cam,

Speaker 33 help him. Winner owns the Cowboys.
Love the pod. Keep it up.
It would be fun.

Speaker 33 Mr. Burrow Battle said there's a post on Instagram going around.

Speaker 33 Shadura Sanders has made the NFL $250 million in jersey sale, and he's received $14 million in commission due to the prime equity clause in his contract.

Speaker 33 I don't know anything about that. I don't know anything about that either.

Speaker 33 So for me...

Speaker 33 I'm glad you brought that up, but I don't even feel comfortable because, you know,

Speaker 33 people take what everything said on the internet and just take it and run with it. It's the gospel, it's the truth.
I don't know anything about that.

Speaker 33 Kiber Norwood Jr. said, Uh, my question is: Is one has to go

Speaker 33 Ray Lewis, Rod Wilson,

Speaker 33 Tony Gonzalez, Travis Kelsey?

Speaker 33 Hell, I ain't play with Tony or Travis, so I don't care which one of y'all keep him.

Speaker 33 I'm keeping Ray and Rod.

Speaker 33 I was only there two years with Woody and

Speaker 33 Suge. I knew Ray.
I knew Suge. Excuse me.
I knew Woody before I knew

Speaker 33 Ray for the simple fact we had gone to Pro Bowls before. So I had known Rod for a number of years, seen him at the Pro Bowl, knew his wife, Nikki.

Speaker 33 Now,

Speaker 33 sorry, Kemper.

Speaker 33 Tony and Trav, I don't even care about that.

Speaker 33 They were both great tight ends. It's very rare you find find two tight ends on one team, you know, that was that's like that, Ocho.
I mean, that's crazy. That's crazy.
That's the equivalent of

Speaker 33 Aaron Rodgers' father and Brett Barr.

Speaker 33 That's what you got in this situation right here.

Speaker 33 Prime card channel said, Uncle Ocho, they told me my bus down AP, perfect timing, got them baguettes up on my neck. I stay shining.
It's never hot around. My jury changed the climate.
Yeah.

Speaker 33 Everybody speaking with spoken word.

Speaker 34 I see him. I see him.
You see me with this good chain.

Speaker 33 Oh, that's your door. So.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 33 See, I don't. It shows you how much I look.

Speaker 34 It's $100.

Speaker 34 That's one number $20. It looks good, though.

Speaker 23 Honestly, honestly.

Speaker 43 Honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like PrEP.

Speaker 43 PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it.

Speaker 43 Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.

Speaker 43 Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention options, and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more.
