Oh, Joe, Miami Hurricane, take down the number six fighting Irish in Notre Dame, 27-24.

This is Miami's first win against the top 10 team since beating Notre Dame in 2017.

Carson Beck, the guy they paid $4 million for, threw two touchdown passes.

He was 20 of 30, 205 yards, two touchdowns, clean game, no interceptions.

Irish may have found their quarterback, CJ Carr, but tonight's performance will leave

Marcus Freeman with plenty of other questions to answer.

Oh, Oh, yeah.

Carr had was 19 of 30, 221, two touchdowns, one interception.

The U was in control of this game.

Ocho, I thought they were like, gonna put it away 24 to 14.

And the next thing you know, you turn around and the score is 24-24.

But give the U credit.

They put the drive together late in the ball game, got a field goal, and then they turned it over to the defense.

And the defense did what they supposed to do.

Ocho, what did you like?

What did you like about what you saw from the U?

Listen, you look very good.

Obviously,

I was really worried about the quarterback position.

How was Carson Beck going to look?

How is his resurgence away from Georgia?

How is he going to look in that University of Miami uniform and keeping us?

No, excuse me, let me not say us, keeping University of Miami program where it needs to be, where Cam War left him.

They were in good hands.

So now, based on what I saw today, they're still in good hands.

Small sample size, weather a little bit.

I thought the European were going to run away with the game, Uncle, when it was 21-7.

Yep.

But Mr.

Freeman and Carr and that offense found a way to get themselves back in the game and make it a little bit more interesting.

Very interesting game.

It didn't have to be that close.

But for some reason, coaches always have a way of

calling a conservative game to allow the other team to get back in.

Well, I think they play good though, Joe.

In the third record towards the end, you don't want to do anything reckless.

I understand.

Because here's the thing.

Think about 28-3.

Kyle Shanahan called a game like he'd always been calling it.

Now people say, why you ain't running the ball?

Why you ain't getting conservative?

You get conservative and lose.

People are like, well, why you get conservative?

You stay aggressive and you lose.

People call you a bonehead.

It's a very fine line that you have to walk.

And if you do something and you turn the ball over, I called a game, but I didn't call no turnovers.

So you can't put that on me.

You know, somebody misses a block.

Somebody misses an assignment or something like that on your a drop pass on third down.

Now you're getting off the field.

I've always felt it's easier to play from behind than it is with a lead because you throw caution to the wind when you're behind.

What do I got to lose, Ocho?

I'm already down.

I'm down 14 points.

I'm down 17, 21 points.

I don't have a damn thing to lose.

Everybody's already written me off.

So I can throw caution to the wind.

I can run a triple reverse.

I can on sidekick you.

I can do whatever because.

there is no expectation at that point in time because I'm down by double digit scores.

And I understand to a certain extent, but I thought Miami tonight, I thought they made plays.

I thought the one-hand touchdown grab, Ocho would have got 38 interception.

And that's what you have to have.

If you're going to get to where you want to go, you're going to have to have guys to make plays on both sides of the ball.

I love what Bain Jr.

did at the defensive end.

He thought he had it one time.

He got the ball away on second down.

Bain said, Come here, I'm going to get you.

I'm going to get you again.

And got him again.

But as a quarterback, you know you can't take a sack in that situation.

You got no timeouts.

And all you receivers are way downfield.

So by the time you get them back, tig, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tig, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

Listen.

And also, as a quarterback, he's a young quarterback.

Very good, too.

Carr is very good.

He surprised me.

He surprised me tonight.

You also have to know in that situation, the defensive ends, they got their ears peering back.

Yeah, they're coming.

Ears pinned back.

They come.

They coming right away.

So you got to do

your two tackles some justice and being able to maneuver in that pocket right away, understanding that them boys coming straight upfield right away.

other than that margin freeman and that not a dame team they're gonna be all right they are gonna be going to be all right university miami them boys look good i know i know right now outside tonight onk even with the rain going on boy good old time they don't look like the hurricanes of the early 2000s but they look good they got that level of talent yeah exactly but but they look good they did look good

they look good yeah ain't no andre johnson running around there ain't no ain't no no no you know no Clinton Porterson, no Frank Gordon, no Willis McGehees, no Shockeys.

Who else was on that team?

When you look at that, Antrell Rowe, Ed Reed,

John Taylor,

William Bryant, and you do those two linebackers,

Vilma.

But I like what I saw.

Miami head coach Mario Christobal said on Kane's win.

Come on, look around.

I played in this rivalry.

Look at the way hard rock is rocking.

Miami Hurricane Football.

And he played, hey,

they're right.

I mean,

they were rocking.

You know, they had a lot of their former stars, their former great players there.

That's always great to see.

That's one of the, I like that tradition that a lot of these teams have, where they're great players, where they're great players, their former players come back, especially if they're able to.

You see homecoming week when guys have bye weeks.

You see them standing on the sideline at Ohio State.

You see them standing on the sideline in Michigan and Alabama and all that stuff.

It was always great great to see that.

I remember when I was, you know, when I was at Savannah State and the guys would come back, it made me feel good.

I really never got an opportunity to get back, Ocho, because, you know, we during our bye week,

I think I went to one homecoming, but for the most part, I didn't, you know, it wasn't a homecoming or there's playing an away game.

But it's always great to see it.

And as you said, Ocho, Miami Hurricane Football looked good.

Carson Bank played really well, 20 of 30, 205, two touchdowns.

Clean game.

He didn't turn it over.

But there's still a lot of football to go.

I don't know if it's Clemson on their schedule.

Florida State, that's the ACC.

Let me tell you something.

It's been a very long time.

Chat, everybody in the chat, it's been a very long time since we got two

really good teams with a UM and Florida State meeting up.

Now that's going to be, now that is going to be a goddamn game.

Boy, what Florida State put on film yesterday and what UM put on film tonight, man, stop playing, man.

And obviously, listen, you're only going to get better as the season goes on, especially from an offensive standpoint.

Right.

Because the offense always starts a little slower.

Yeah.

They're a little behind the eighth ball as opposed to defense.

Who, again, who would all they have to do is just read and react.

Once they get themselves into a rhythm, man, please.

CJ Daniels didn't catch a touchdown pass last season at LSU, but he scored his first touchdown since 2023 with a one-handed grab in the ring.

And, you know, I thought the

ball security was fairly well.

I mean, considering the inclement weather, it seemed like the turf gave a little bit.

You know, you're below sea level.

So once things get saturated, the turf is going to give.

If I'm not mistaken, Ocho, I think they had a black college football.

I think Howard played somebody on that in that same stadium yesterday.

Played the illustrious, the one and the only.

Didn't y'all get beat?

Of all time.

They played Fam You.

Didn't y'all get beat?

Huh?

Didn't y'all get beat?

It was 10 to 9.

It was 10 to 9.

So which team had 10?

All I need to know who had 10.

Who?

Who had 10?

Oh, Howard.

Oh, so who had the nine?

The greatest

HBCU of all time, family.

So they lost.

Can I tell you something?

Yes.

Can I tell you?

Yes, you can tell me something.

Florida A ⁇ M Marching 100.

They won the halftime show.

So technically, we

want to see.

I want to see them go

the human jukebox.

Southern?

Yeah, bad.

See, I can't even say nothing bad because I love Southern.

I can't even say nothing bad.

Hey, they showed out for us at the Super Bowl.

They did.

They showed up for us.

I love Southern, especially what they did for us down there in New Orleans.

I love you to death, but you know, my allegiance, my life.

If I cut myself right now, well, I bleed orange and green.

You bleed, you bleed orange and brown, Oregon State Beavers.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I bleed, I bleed.

all right

you have to understand remember how bad i was in high school coming out of high school no i'm finna see i'm finna see i'm finna google oh

listen to me i was supposed to be at fam you i was supposed to be at fam you i'm telling you listen a young let me tell you something real quick a chat let me give you a small example right when i was in high school i wanted to be like a receiver that played for miami edison high school Y'all could Google this, Google this.

I looked up to these boys.

His name was Jaque nunley somebody i i don't know if i have anybody in the chat that's from miami you might remember jaqua nunley went to miami edison played receiver if i'm not mistaken i think he might have wore number three he went to famu

me as a high me coming out of high school oh shoot i want to be like jaque nunley but i want to go to famu so that was part of my love for fam you right there outside of my grandma and my mama always having me at the classic every year as a little kid.

I went to the Florida Classic Unks in 1984.

My mama and my grandma went to Cookman.

They went to Cookman.

But I just, that orange and green, but they came out.

They were margin on.

I was like, oh, I got to go there.

But they might be there.

Well,

I had to go to the only place I can get in.

I had to go to the only place that would accept me.

I had to go to the only place that was willing to give me a one-for-one

with no eligibility left.

Hey, thank you to Dennis erickson who remembered me from the little camps when he was with the hurricanes

that's that's why he gave me a shot well you could after you got after you went to samo you could have went to fam you

huh after you went to samo you could have went back to fam you but i was i was already on the i was already on the west coast i didn't want to navigate and come all the way back here because i had to get out of florida you know to really get to modestly exactly that's why it worked out where you wasn't supposed to go to fam you because you still been in miami and you go home to Fam You.

But listen, the funny thing about it is when I get some time, right now I have like, I got like 273 jobs.

Yes.

When the football season ends, I'm enrolling myself back in school at Fam U to

finish everything and get my degree.

Uncle I ain't even got my degree yet.

I just got a whole bunch of jobs with no degree.

So I'm looking to get my master's.

How close are you to getting your degree?

Hey, Unc Boy, listen, don't let me tell you.

Don't let let me lie to you

so you father so in other words you spent two or a couple of years in college and you further away from getting a degree than you when when you went but hey hey listen god is good but you want to take online classes take online classes i'm i'm going to school now your big rusted ass ain't gonna be sitting up in no classroom who not fam you tallahassee right down the street i know what fam you is but i'm saying but listen i would have the time to go to class and get that hbcu experience because once football season ends

all the jobs I'm doing, it comes down to

a halt a little bit.

And I got a little bit of room to maneuver.

So I want that experience.

And then also, not only am I going to enroll and go back to school, I'm also going to enjoy the band because you know how much I love the band.

You know, I play saxophone, I can play drum, I play tuba.

And then Shelby Chipman.

Shelby Chipman, who's the band, the band director at Famu, boom, ready.

Now I can, I can probably, probably see if I can, I can try and beat a drum major or something.

Okay.

yeah i'm i'm listening i'm taking it my second half this is my second half of life huh i got to do something with it i got a small window opportunity ain't no telling when i'm going ain't no telling yeah i'm on the other side of the mountain i feel once you hit your fit once you're over your 50s you're on the other side of the mountain so i'm going downhill now so i'm trying to get everything out the way and check everything off my bucket list it all depends on how much you did coming up on the other side of the mountain wait but it will determine how how how how long it's going to take you to get down on the other side of the mountain that's a good question

I don't mean to be, what's the word I'm looking for?

I don't mean to sound ignorant.

Yeah.

But I've been out of school so long.

Yes.

How the hell do I find out how many more credits I need for one to get a diploma to graduate?

Well,

you'll have to get your

thing from Oregon State.

Transcripts?

Yes.

Get your transcripts.

Yeah.

And they still got all that?

Yeah, hell yeah.

They still got it.

Okay.

Okay.

You know, one when you're...

Let's hope you got some credits.

I know I got something.

I don't know, Ocho, because

I think you measured in eligibility.

I don't think you was trying to, I don't think you was trying to get no degree.

I think you were just trying to stay eligible.

Hey, that's it.

I probably was.

I probably was.

Listen, the funny thing about it is I'm one of the smartest, sharpest pupils in the classroom.

I just had a problem not wanting to go to class.

Yeah, I think the thing is, do you have a problem now, Ocho, is that you being being your age and you, your mind turning your mind off about those jobs that you got.

Right.

You know what I'm saying?

So now because you got to focus, I mean, I don't know if like you said, you want to go to class to sit in that classroom and you sitting there, because I remember when I went back at Ocho, I was a 20.

I was 22.

And I'm sitting in the classroom and I'm like,

I got more money than everybody in here.

Make more money than the teacher.

I say, man, I got to get up out of here.

I said, ain't no way.

There's no way, Ocho, I could have waited.

And i'm always impressed by guys that do it that wait three four five years and then go back to school right now if you're gonna do it online away okay that's fine but to go sit in those classrooms i see i couldn't do it you see why you can't do it you understand why you can't do it hello it is ryan and we could all use an extra bright spot in our day couldn't we just to make up for things like sitting in traffic doing the dishes counting your steps you know all the mundane stuff that is why i'm such a big fan of chumba casino chumba casino has all your favorite social casino style games that you can play for free anytime, anywhere with daily bonuses.

Dunk, you had that experience.

You've been to HBCU.

I did.

I have.

I did.

I've always wanted my dream was to go to Florida A ⁇ M.

That was my dream.

I never got to relive that, you know?

So I had the cars I was dealt, I did the best I could with them.

but now i have the opportunity you know what i can finish off that childhood dream no matter how old i am you got to understand but going to class i think on i mean going to class actually going to school if i'm not mistaken a class ain't nothing but an hour long i see

it all depends i mean it all depends we were on the quarter system ocho so you're right we only went to a class for like 50 minutes but it was five days a week if you're on the semester system you might only have to go to class once to twice a week So it all depends.

And then, you know, you might have class, you might have labs.

I mean, it's been 30 plus years.

I mean, I graduated in 91.

So

Laura,

I couldn't even tell you.

I just know how my attention span is.

Is that to be able to turn, yeah.

Look at Ash laughing.

I said, man, me and meetings.

Me and meetings don't get along.

Me and the meetings don't get along, man.

See, that's, that's, that's the difference.

The difference with me, you have to understand, I can sit there and you, you'll be like, man, what you doing?

I can sit there and play Madden for nine hours straight in one chair and not move.

Not move.

I can play FIFA for eight, nine hours straight.

I can stream

for seven, six hours straight without moving.

So imagine me going to school and being excited because it's an experience I never got to do before.

What about the class?

What about the curriculum?

Are you going to be excited about every class that you take?

Oh, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Because I understand what the end goal is.

In order to get to the end goal, I got to put the work in.

They ain't finna just hand me no damn diploma.

I'm trying to walk across the stage throwing them fangs.

What you talking about?

Yeah.

That's the best part about it, to walk across the stage and have your family scream your name and everything like that.

Family?

Man, it ain't.

Boy, y'all is my family.

My mama gone, my grandma gone.

Oh, but I'm saying, you got Johnson.

You got the kids.

I mean, the kids going to be there.

Yeah.

Okay, listen, gonna be the Nightcap family.

It's gonna be you and Ash and Jordan and everybody else

in the background.

I show up.

All my kids.

You know.

Let me know how many of you graduate class.

I'm gonna come where they get to Johnson so I can be a little late.

Listen, I'm going to come.

You know how they do the new graduation?

I'm in the down middle.

A, B, C.

Hey, what?

Shoot.

Man,

my daughter's done graduated, man.

My daughter done graduated from Prairie View AM, man.

Yeah.

And I ain't graduated yet.

How they done beat me?

My oldest daughter done graduated.

My son done graduated from Arizona State.

I'm the one with no department.

My kids doing better than me.

Yeah.

But that's what you want.

You want your kids to do better than you.

That's the whole purpose of why you did what you did.

So they wouldn't have to go through, so they wouldn't have the struggle.

Now, look, I don't want, I don't, I didn't want to absorb all my kids from struggle because sometimes people, I don't want my, no, no, no, no, you want your kids to struggle somewhat because you want them to understand life is not a bed of roses.

So you want some struggle, but you don't want them to have to go through what you

went through when basically your entire life was a struggle.

But some struggle for a kid

build calluses and help and help them

navigate this thing called life.

Because at some point in time, there will be a struggle.

There will be some hardship.

There will be some adversity.

And you don't want them to have such a smooth ride that

they don't know how to handle or navigate

that obstacle or that roadblock.

that's been placed in front of them.

But yeah, you want your kids,

you did what you had to do to make sure you put your kids in a better situation than what you came up in.

And this is the funny thing about it.

And one thing I won't do up here and get up there, Panama, like the reason for my kids' success and the reason they're doing so well in life at their age now, at their big age right now, is because of me.

Because they're, oh, wait, oh, it's not.

Oh, uncle, it's not.

Those I have kids from.

Yeah.

did a hell of a job and they still doing a hell of a job that's why that's why i can't wait and this goes for everyone and they they'll probably see this they probably not reading the chat but when i win this Powerball, right?

You laughing?

I'm not even playing.

I'm finna win the Powerball, right?

You gonna win that 1.1 billion?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm finna split it in three halves.

Half going to those I have kids from for a job where I'm motherfucking done.

Okay.

One half going to Nightcap, because we're going to do some wild stuff.

Ain't never been done.

Oh, yeah.

Look, I'm skydive.

I'm good.

I'm going to let you do that.

I'm going to be on the ground.

Feel me.

Listen.

And the other half going to the Nightcap followers.

See, the subscribers.

subscribers, yeah.

So, if 1.8, whatever it is, we're going to break down a huge portion of all of them for always supporting.

Hey, hey, young.

That's the kind of gospel I'm looking for.

Now, I don't know if I can find that in the kind of churches we have today.

Yeah.

I mean, that was that was that.

All I want to do is when they sing before the prayer and after the prayer, when they start singing, we had a lady that would come to our church.

She wasn't a member.

I'll never forget her name was Miss Margie Bird.

Man, that lady could sing.

Hey, Chad, if you're from Glenville, Reedsville, or from the surrounding kind of classy, you know who Miss Margie Bird was.

Lord, that woman had a voice.

Boy, ain't nothing like you see that woman walk in.

didn't fail, Miss Margie.

Miss, you want to do a solo?

Lord, that woman get up there, Lord.

Hey, listen, I had that.

Those days, Ocho.

Those were the days.

Hey.

Excuse me for that.

Oh, man, I just matter of fact,

I just every time I talk about gospel, I hear something about gospel, we get to talk about the church.

Or you tell me anything when it comes to dogs or animals, I get to get to getting emotional for no reason at all.

Man, I tweeted something earlier today.

Oh, that goddamn Kiki Wyatt,

I've retweeted, like, I didn't tweet that must a day.

So if it's still on my timeline right now, and she was singing, and I just put the goat at the top of it, and I listened to it.

And she got a voice, boy.

She's so ranky.

She, hey, she, she was in there.

Let's transition back to Miami Hurricanes 2025 schedule Ocho they beat no today in 2724 next week they're at home against Bethune Cookman then

then they're at home against South Florida then they're at home against Florida then October 4th they're on the road against Florida State home against Louisville home against Stanford at SMU home against Syracuse home against NC State on the road against Virginia Tech on the road against Pittsburgh.

No, no, no, no.

FSU is October 4th.

Hey, they got a good chance to run the table.

But you see they got the answer.

I don't really see it either.

Oh, yeah, they got a chance.

You know, they got South Florida, Florida, Florida State.

Most of the tough, the Florida State game ain't going to be easy now.

Oh, no.

Not based on what I saw yesterday, especially from that Florida, that Florida State defense.

Yep,

they look good, boy.

Oh, Joe, the number 13 South Carolina Gamecocks beat Vartec 24 to 11.

The Gamecocks opened the season with a win over its coach Shane Beamers, Alma Mater.

His dad coached there for almost 30 days, 30 years.

Frank

is Frank Beamer, right?

Isn't that his dad's name?

Right.

Carolina looked good.

Carolina looked really good.

That big receiver they got,

Nick.

What's his name?

Hold on.

Man, they got a receiver, Ocho, like 6'4 by 230.

He can fly.

Carolina.

South Carolina.

Yeah, man.

He run 10, 10, 100 meters, 20, 20 in the 200 meters.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

He looked good.

He caught a bomb.

Caught a bomb.

Oh, here it is right here.

But I like Carolina.

I like the way they got out the the field.

I like them uniforms.

The quarterback, Lenora Sellers.

Sellers, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He played he played well today.

And

he has that ability.

He's a true dual threat.

He has a nice, lively arm.

Obviously, he can run out, can get outside, get out the pocket and make plays.

I thought they did a great job of, and Mike Schuler's calling the plays.

Mike Schuler called plays in the NFL.

And so

Sellers was 12 of 19, 209, one touchdown, clean game interception, no interceptions.

They had 37 carries for a buck 19, one touchdown.

But

the defense played well.

Carolina defense played well.

Very, very well.

A safety and three field goals.

You can live with that.

You can live with that.

But

I like those uniforms.

Carolina got some nice uniforms, yeah.

I like the all-black.

I like that all-black.

All right.

It's all right.

You ain't like Virginia tech all orange no

yeah

maybe they had mike vick out there running around and i might have liked him okay okay okay okay okay

uh florida state quarterback tommy costellano mocks alabama with merch uh after opener upset prior to fsu game costellano stated they don't have nick saber to save them i just don't see them stopping me costellano not only backed up by uh beating balm at 31 17 but now is profiting offices he's selling on shirt website taunting Alabama merch.

Nick, can't save them.

What's the pettiest thing you've ever done after backing up your trash talk on the field, Locho?

Hey, that's a funny thing.

Wait, excuse my ignorance.

As a collegiate kid, are you allowed to sell merch like that and profit from it outside of NIL?

You can do that?

Yeah, I guess so.

Oh, that's dope.

I like that.

For one, the fact that Castellono, the fact that Castellanos.

said that before week one against a game like Alabama and then went out there and backed it up.

And did it.

Man, please alumni all that alumni and all them students probably bought all that stuff up right

of course of course it's it's only up from here yeah absolutely up from here all right just keep winning hey keep winning and and your pockets gonna get fatter and fatter young man oh yeah oh yeah absolutely he was nine to 14 above 52 uh 16 rushes 78 yards but he was the quarterback of note His team won.

He played really, really well.

He didn't have stats to blow you away.

The most impressive stat that that a quarterback can have is a win.

W.

Because at the end of the day,

that's how we're supposed to measure quarterbacks.

And he's one more, and he beat Alabama.

And we know what Florida State has been over the last couple of years.

There are a lot of people that was calling for their head coach's job,

but the alumni and the...

They stayed the booster.

And the president, they stayed true.

We believe in this guy.

Because they had just went, what?

Didn't they go to the, I think?

Nah, they had lost.

They lost their quarterback.

They didn't make the college football playoff.

They lost their quarterback.

Yeah.

But came back, and here they are, open the season with a big-time win.

They weren't ranked, but they will be when the rankings come out on Tuesday.

Yeah, absolutely.

But that's what you have to do, Ocho.

You have to go out there.

He said what he said, and he went out there and backed it out.

He backed it up, and he's right.

Coach Sabin couldn't save him.

Kaylin DeBoer, you got to get on, you got to

get in on the action, bro.

It's time to go.

In April, Nico Amaleva decided to walk away from Tennessee balls after feeling that he wasn't being paid what he deserved.

At Tennessee, I'm a Leva NIO deal was around $2 million mark, but he wanted a bump to approximately $4 million.

And increased Tennessee was unwilling to grant.

However, at UCLA, I'm a Leva took a pay cut, earning only $1.2 million.

And then when you factor into state laws at California, 50%, he makes $600,000.

That's not your

UCLA open the season on Saturday against Utah.

And they lost 43 to 10.

He finished with 11 completions on 22 pass attempts, 50%,

136 passing yards, one touchdown, one interception.

Hey, sometimes you got to be careful.

Yes.

Sometimes you got to be careful.

Now, this is just not a message for him.

This is message.

in life in general.

Sometimes you're in situations.

Sometimes you're in situations where you want more and you think the grass is green on the other side when you got stability right there in your backyard

you got comfortability right there in your backyard and tennessee is a no no state not to cut you off your but if i'm not mistaken i think tennessee is a no state income tax yes come on now tax state you got you got the under you got to understand that then you're trying to be greedy your play on the field is going to take care of itself if you want more money in nil it's going to you take care of that in between the lines

with your play they will have no problem bumping you up they let you go for a reason, they let you go seek out what you're looking for, which is more elsewhere.

And then you go somewhere where you make

less and they tax you more

and they tax more, and you lost your first game against Utah.

Come on, man, that's a life lesson in itself, too.

Uncle, so that's a life lesson in itself.

So, uh,

making a million dollars, so you at 30, what is it, 36% tax rate?

So every million dollars, you get 630,000.

So he could have made 1.260.

Now he's making 600,000.

So he left 600,000 on the table.

That's money in his pocket.

Come on,

you got to do better.

Understand the situation you're in.

Because California is, I think, a 13%.

Yeah.

13% state income tax.

So you figure 36% plus 13, that's 49%.

Then you got FICA, and then you you got all these other because hey California hit you over your head oh they coming to get there boy California hit you over your head they get there well they get all that

all that they need to use that goddamn money to expand the goddamn 405 and make it 200

traffic

uh well if that's the case they need to make it to 810.

No, they don't need it.

They don't need to expand nothing.

They need to look.

I mean, California, they be taxing.

They got what, probably the fourth or fifth largest GDP of anywhere in the world.

And we talk about a state.

We ain't talking about the United States.

We talk about a state within the United States.

That's how much money that they make.

It's just that

you can't take care of every single person.

Yeah.

You know,

and Cali

Try to take care of every single person.

I think they waste a lot of money.

Oh, Joe, Michael Parsons was reportedly viewed by some Cowboys teammates as egotistical and self-centered.

Hold on.

Sports Illustrated Albert Breer reports Martin, Lamb, and Prescott are very popular in the locker room.

That's Zach Martin, CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott.

That's not the case with Parsons, who has rankled teammates in different ways.

seen by some as egotistical and self-centered.

His podcast, which we knew, Ocho, has created issues too, and they go all the way up to the quarterback Dak Prescott.

We said that we would start hearing negative comments about Michael.

Oh, Joe, what did I tell you?

We just had this, we had this conversation.

I said, oh, Ocho, die, pretty soon, you're going to start hearing negative comments about Marcus

Michael Seepin.

I said, come on, Ocho.

I know it's coming.

But

I always felt, because here's the thing, Ocho.

You do a podcast.

Yes, sir.

You lose the first thing they're going to say, if you get your ass off the podcast and practice and study your play, you win games.

In order for your podcast, you got to be interested, you got to be entertaining.

So you got to take shots at other people.

And, you know, I think there was a situation, wasn't it talking about quarterbacks and he didn't have Dak in his top five or something like that?

Yeah.

I remember that.

So, yeah,

I get it.

I don't have a problem.

I think the thing is, Ocho, a lot of people want to get on the media, going to get in the media space, and they're trying to create that medium now.

But you have to be careful.

You really have to be careful.

I tell guys, look, if CBS or Fox or NBC calls you and they ask you, go do it on your bye week.

Right.

Go to your local news station.

Talk sports.

Talk to the guy that does sports.

That's what I did when I was in Denver.

I had a local radio show.

But when they called me, hey, I would go do highlights.

Do something.

But this podcast, I mean,

you have to be careful.

And plus, and I'm going to turn it over to you, Ocho.

Everybody is not going to be liked in a locker room.

I don't care how great you are.

There are going to be some people that you're going to rub the wrong way.

You don't talk too much.

You standoffish.

You don't talk enough.

You don't ingratiate yourself to the locker room.

So everybody is not going to be beloved.

And that's okay.

That's okay.

But I knew this podcast would cause an issue.

Go ahead, Ocho.

It shouldn't have.

There's no reason it should cause issues.

Anything Micah decides to do outside of the game of football when he's not playing, when he's not in meetings, when he's not playing a game, you know, it's all for it.

I'm all for it.

If you know Micah, if you met him personally, you understand he's a very playful, fun-loving guy.

He's a likable person.

He's not in the type of player that

you can not like, you know, or one of those people who come to work and it's strictly business.

He doesn't associate with you.

No, he's friendly.

So again, when things like this come out, of course, those who might not like him are those who probably don't do their goddamn job on Sundays at one o'clock.

I bet you that those who don't like him are the ones who don't show up like he showed up the past four years and doing what he's supposed to do and being one of the few who's had 12 sacks in the last four years at his position.

I guarantee you that.

Let's pull up the stats for the people or the person that's in that locker room that claims they don't like him.

And I guarantee you he doesn't live up to the standard at their position that he lives up to it.

Here's.

I bet you that.

It's always some hate nasty shit.

I'm sorry.

It's always someone that's not frowned upon.

Someone else who's doing something outside of the building, but they handles their business inside of the building, especially in between the lines.

That's it.

It is.

But I'm not, look, I'm not surprised.

I'm sure there are a lot of people that like me in Denver.

Some didn't.

Some people like me in Baltimore.

Some didn't.

I guess some a little more now than others, but hey, that's neither here nor there.

Ocho, you know, since it is.

Hey, that threw me for a loop.

That threw me for a loop.

I mean,

I know, I know, I don't know, but I'm just, yeah.

It threw a lot of people for a loop, Ocho.

But I looked, it's over with now.

And let's go to the, right here, because this, just add, just add some layers to it.

Just a week ago, Dak said he was confident Parsons would be on the field for the Cowboys matchup week one.

Well, Dak

has a new tune since Michael got dealt.

I definitely think he was going to get,

I definitely didn't think he was going to get to trade, get traded, but just the way their negotiations went down, obviously to

some extent, hell, y'all were asking me questions.

Remember, I said that's how it becomes a distraction because you're not asking me about the game, you're asking me about Michael's contract.

Hell, y'all was asking me questions.

It seemed like it had gotten personal, which we said that it had become personal.

And so that's why I wasn't surprised.

Yeah, I told you.

Jerry's Eagle.

Now,

it came out today that Deron Bland got a contract extension.

But did you hold on?

Well deserved.

Well deserved.

But they had been working with his representative since offseason.

Jake Ferguson got a deal.

They had been working with his representative all offseason.

They're trying to get Tyler Smith done.

They're working with his representative.

You see here, Ocho?

You see how Jerry's ego?

Jerry's ego wouldn't let him work with Micah's agent because i'm gonna show you i do what i want to do and if you want to do a deal here you're going to do it my way so if you work with all of those guys representative he worked with cd's representative he worked with dagg's representative i just listed three guys represented that he worked with but for some reason he was unwilling to work with micah's representative yeah i he he he he took that friendship and those conversations to heart He took those friendship, those conversations and that friendship to heart.

And Micah split that right down the middle.

Listen, I play for your team.

You sign my checks.

But when it comes to conducting business, you're going to have to talk to my representation, even after whatever handshake, whatever words might have been exchanged.

That's not the way contracts work.

That's not the way business works.

You were trying to undermine Micah Parsons.

You were trying to pay him not what he's worth.

Obviously, because he mentioned about what he was offering, but the offering that he was paying Micah to make him the highest paid was before TJ Watt got paid.

It was before Miles Garrett got paid.

And plus, he said, I will make you the highest paid, but

you added years.

You added a year to it.

Trying to be slick.

Trying to be slick.

Miles Garrett.

Miles Garrett got four years, 160.

No, bro, I'm not going to let you do that.

I shook your hand, but I told you, call my agent.

Call my representative.

You won't call the representative back?

No.

you try, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

They told you, no, we don't, you want to do a five-year plus the option.

That's six years.

Most agents want to keep that thing for plus the one because I want another bite at this.

Now, because what once Micah contracts, once his uh, that 3136 guaranteed money, so within the first three years, he's not going to have any more guaranteed money the back end, Ojo.

So now, and plus, that means his uh

his uh cap number is going to be extremely extremely high because I get to pro rate that 120 over a five-year period

so I try to try try to div it up equally but at the back end those last those last couple years old that thing gonna be high the giraffe head oh yeah oh yeah so now I come back to the table well you know hey you know six years now michael says hey i'm 26 i can get another body this apple at 30.

y'all ever see your boy at 30 30 come on now.

But

that's what I'm looking at.

I'm like, hold on.

What do you mean

they talked to Deron Bland's representative?

What do you mean they talked to Jake Ferguson's representative?

What do you mean they're looking to talk to Tyler Smith representative?

Micah just asked to talk to my representative.

No, we had a deal.

No, we didn't.

I shook your head and told you.

Call my agent.

Right.

He knew what the agent was going to say.

Oh, he know.

No.

Hey, wait, the supposedly the best agent in the game?

Oh, you knew exactly what he was going to say.

You knew exactly.

You can't pull a fast one on the agent.

Right.

Pull a fast one on the player.

Yeah, because he's looking at the mic is looking at the Ocho.

He's looking at that.

Man, 200 million, Ocho?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

See, it looked good.

It looked good.

But the agent, the agent got a magnifying glass.

Let me peel back some of these layers to this 200 million you're talking about.

You know, I got light on, ocho.

I got light on.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, it was dark in the room oh i can't feed i need it yeah you know you're going to be restaurants ojo and they hand you the menu i pull out my phone right quick putting that light on and

pricing damn hey it never it never ever

seems what they say it is never

That's why you need representation.

That's it.

I'm not, oh, Joe, I'm not saying we've seen guys, we've seen Lamar and his mom, and with the help of an NFL PA lawyer, do the contract themselves.

But they made it abundantly clear.

We're not hiring hiring representation.

We'll do something hourly.

We'll get an NFL PA.

We saw Bobby Wagner do that.

We saw Sherm do his own contract.

Okay, if the guy says I'm doing my own contract, I got no problem with that.

You can, the owner, the general manager, can work directly with the player.

You see Shea Gilgis.

Now, it's a lot easier in basketball because you're either getting a max or damn near close to a max deal.

So Shea says, I'm not going to hand over 3%, 4% when I already know I'm going to get the max.

Right.

Got it.

Got it.

But in the NFL,

hey, Lamarck says, I feel I can go it alone.

That 3%, I can keep that in my pocket.

And when you're dealing with that kind of money, 3% don't seem like much.

When you start dealing $100, $200, $300 million, 3% is a damn lot of money.

A lot of money.

A whole lot of money.

So with that being said, he knew Michael had representation.

Now, he worked with everybody else's representation.

Now, if that's what

I read was correct, it said he worked.

They've been working with Deron Bland's representation all offseason.

Same thing with Jake Ferguson, and they're working with Tyler Smith, trying to get something done now.

We know they work with Dak Prescott.

He's the highest paid.

He didn't do a deal directly with Dak.

He worked with Todd France, who's the CD's agent.

He worked with that.

But for some reason, I just need to know why was he so unwilling to work with David Mugaletta?

I just need somebody to explain that to me.

Also, probably understand, maybe he didn't want to pay Mike all along.

Maybe he didn't want to pay Mike all along, understanding that he had other deals coming off the table, like the Ron Bland, or whatever he's getting ready to do with Jake Ferguson, or whoever else they might pay before the CAA.

Okay,

okay, they were CAA.

Yeah, but here's the thing, Ocho.

If that's the case, if you needed to stop the run, if you didn't like the way Micah was hurt, if you don't think Michael, so why would you negotiate?

So why would you want to do a deal with the guy?

If he's not what you think he is, or he's not the player, so why would you even enter why would you even try to work a deal with him why not just go ahead and trade it why not get a draft pick this year

because he was lying to himself or he was lying to us trying to make us believe that he's the reason yes trying to believe like okay now he's gone well we let him go because hey we need to get better at stopping the run child please

you hadn't been able to stop the run for four years so what you got all those defensive tackles for

you see the problem that i have is that your defense was not built to stop the run.

Your offense was.

And Shannon, what do you, and people, I know Chat, you ask me and say, well, Shannon, what do you mean by that?

His offense was bid to get the lead.

And so now his defense pinning the ears back.

They're an undersized defense.

And as long as you can keep the game close or you can get the lead, you can pound their ass.

Pause.

You can run the ball.

Because I know what y'all go.

I know y'all about to say some crazy stuff.

So in other words, you can run the ball on them because they're built to play with a lead lead and get pressure.

Now,

guess what?

They ain't got no lead.

They have to stand up in there.

And a lot of those guys ain't got a whole lot of bricks in their back pocket.

So, when you build your off, when you build your team a certain way,

well, you build your team with speed,

you need to be able to use it.

And if you got a team that wants to run the football, speed don't help you.

Nah.

At all.

So, uh,

that's one of the things.

And look, and people like, well, what Dak could have done.

No, if I'm Dak, I ain't doing nothing.

I'm getting all my money.

Oh, absolutely.

My job.

My job.

You tell us you're a player.

Oh, Joe, what they tell us?

He's a player.

Well, if I'm a player, my job ain't try to figure out the cap.

You figure out the cap.

You don't pay me actually to work on the cap.

You pay me a salary to do what I do on the football field.

All that other stuff, it ain't my job to worry about the cap.

Well, you know, they got a cap and you can only do so.

I ain't got nothing to do with me hey you know what else you know what else works in favor especially in quarterback positions especially in dak position there have been other quarterbacks that have been in great situations where the timing of when it's time for them to get paid there's nowhere else for that team to go right there's nowhere else for that team to go to get someone that's competent enough to come in come in and be quarterback number one so you ain't got no choice but to pay these young fellas what they owe at the time you ain't got no choice because there's no other there's no other option right and plus I'm not, first of all, I don't trust Jerry.

Jerry ain't built nothing in 30 years.

So why would I, why am I going to leave him money on the table?

Why am I going to, first of all, this is my really first big bite at the Apple.

Why am I going to give a guy that's worth 15 billion?

Why am I going to give him a discount?

Absolutely not.

Chad, let's just say for the sake of argument, you work for a company and that company is worth 20 billion.

And they say, you know what,

Charlene, we want to get Pam an HR, but it's going to cost us to go take 15,000 of your money.

Well, Charlene ain't going to be an HR because you ain't taking a dime of mine.

So, no, you don't give no billionaire, no discount.

You're a millionaire.

Now, if the next contract dat wants to be generous enough,

that's different.

That's on him.

But I feel no obligation to cut you a slack so you can.

No, no, no, no, no, that ain't got nothing to do with me.

Not that first one.

No, that first one.

No, sir.

Because what Jerry say, when CBS, I don't know if you watch this, CBS had had the broadcast right.

A lot of the other owners, CBS was losing money.

A lot of the other owners wanted to keep CBS as the broadcast partner.

Jerry said, no, we're not cutting them a deal.

We're not going to do it.

But see, Jerry refute,

go ask CBS, go ask NBC, go ask Fox, go ask Amazon, go ask Netflix.

Did y'all get a deal with these NFL rights?

They didn't get a deal, but they expect players.

Well, Shanna, there's a cap.

What did that got to do with me?

Ain't no cap on my bank account.

My bank account says as much money that'll pour in, we can take it.

That ain't got nothing to do with me

because teams will make as much money as they can.

Now, it's going to sound very, very interesting, Ocho.

Now, you watch with these next contracts, watch around 28.

Because these things come due.

They're coming due, Ocho, about 20, so 20, 20, about 10 years.

Watch around 28 when they start doing it.

YouTube is gonna say, hey, we want some of this.

Netflix is gonna say, hey, man, live programming.

We want some of this.

Amazon says,

ooh, man.

Oh, man.

I see what we do.

Hey, I see what we're doing with these Thursday night games.

I see what we do with these Black Friday games.

Just imagine we get a whole package.

So that 430, that 432 is going to probably be 650.

Come Come 2028, 2029.

Yeah, I'm gonna get me a little piece of that.

Hey, so I, man, please.

Yeah, we're gonna get me a little piece of that.

I need to holler at, I need to holler at Jeff.

I got an interview with Jeff Bezos for a position over at Amazon.

So

I'm excited to see how that's gonna go.
