This week, on a very special episode of Health Discovered, we take a closer look at MS.

Every week in the U.S., approximately 200 people are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

I grew up with parents that were divorced, and so when it was time for me to find care for these symptoms, it kind of just fell on me.

We'll also address the deeper challenges patients face, like health disparities that delay diagnosis in underserved communities.

Ah, with a chance to win the game, Caden Salter threw a pick with 50 seconds remaining, and BYU wins the game of

24-21.

Look. Damn.
The buffs are one in seven. Hold on, let me, hold on.

Let me pour this game up.

Because,

again,

I don't know what's going on.

They're going to have to go get some lineman. They're going to have to go get some D-linemen, Ocho.
Because guess what? Again, they can't stop the damn run.

You live and die. You live and die in the trenches.
You live and die in the trenches. That is the only thing that separates the power five schools from everybody else is the fact that...

In them trenches, offensively and defensively, you got some hogs that can really go and can really play. If you can't stop the run, you're dead in the water.
You're going to lose every game.

It doesn't matter who you're playing. You can be playing the Sisters of the North.
If you ain't got nothing up front,

they're going to beat you.

36 rushes, 206 yards giving up, a touchdown. Hell,

they ran like a handoff to the wide receiver, and then nobody touched him with 32-yard touchdown, and nobody touched him till he got to the two.

Hold up, didn't know, didn't be why you got a quarterback number 47.

That should be illegal. Ain't no way.

What number is the quarterback? Wasn't he number 47?

He playing wearing 47 at quarterback? I think so. I saw 47 throw a pass.
Maybe it was a halfback pass or something. What's the quarter? What number is.

Yeah.

He's a quarterback. 47, 90.
I think he had a 27 for 179 and two touchdowns.

Ain't no way I'm losing to a guy wearing 47.

Listen, when they can't stop a job,

and the tissue don't work, it's been the same game year after year.

They got it. If the 1920s and 30s, quarterbacks had 60 numbers, they had all kinds of numbers.
Yeah. In today's game, this man got 47.

Yeah. Hey, listen, it's significance behind that.
We just don't know what it is. He went for John Lynch.

We got John Lynch playing quarterback.

Lynch.

Lynch is a hell of a player.

But come on, Colorado, y'all gotta

what we doing, Ocho.

We ain't got the players, huh? They don't have the players.

You don't have the players to compete.

That's it. And the ones that are there, they're making mistakes that you can't make.
You can't overcome the mistakes that they're making.

The decision-making, especially at the quarterback position, that's very important. The question is,

does he got to get out of there? Because it's going to take a lot, a lot of money, a couple years to get guys in the program to be able to compete in the trenches like that.

Because the talent you're playing and the teams you're playing aren't SEC caliber. What happens when you get into the playoff and you play one of these top dogs? It ain't going to go very well.

So it poses a question.

He got to go.

Yeah.

You're not going to ever get into the college football playoffs if you cannot cannot stop the run. You giving up 200-plus rush yards a game.

We just talked, hold on, who did they play the other time, the other night? And they gave up damn near 300 rush yards, oh cho. And we came on here and said the exact same thing.

It was the exact same thing last year. They couldn't stop the run.
The previous year, they couldn't stop the run.

And here we are in year three, and they still haven't gotten better at stopping the run. Yeah,

damn.

Tough.

You know, you can see you could you could coach till you're blue in the face. You can scheme up.
You can know about tendencies. You can study.
You can watch film.

Unless you have the personnel to get out there and execute whatever it is you need to execute, especially in them trenches,

you're going to get steamrolled every goddamn week. Well, they did something to stop him.
They had a 14-3 lead. And then they had a 21-17 lead.
So they did something. So

what happened after that? 11 of 16, 119 yards. He plays good in the spurs, and then he forgets that.

I don't know. They ran the ball well tonight.
They had 37 rush attempts, 172 yards. These are the type of guys, Ocho,

because everybody said, well,

this was an opportunity for the Buffs at home to be the ranked team that was undefeated.

This is the opportunity. These are the moments that you seize upon

and they squander this. Now, we remember last year what happened on Jordan.
And remember in the bowl game, what VYU did to him?

Yeah.

Hey,

you got to have the personnel to capture those moments you're talking about.

Johnny, you got to have the personnel. You got to have them dogs.
At least two of us. We wouldn't be talking about Colorado at Prime Wasn't there.

We wouldn't even be talking about Colorado at Prime wasn't there. They wouldn't even be nowhere on the radar.
This ain't the Colorado, the 2000s or the 90s, or whatever.

90s.

It's not McCartney, Coach McCartney. West is sold.
No, they had players. They had first, a bunch of first-round draft picks.

Look at Charlie. Look at

Alfred Williams, Kenabis McGee. They had

Cordell was there, and they had Rashawn Salam and they had Deion Figures.

They had Chad Brown. No, they had players.
They had players. They had Eric B.
Enemy, J.J. Flanagan.
No,

Westbrook, Michael Westbrook.

Yes, Ray Caruth. They had first, they had, they were loaded.
Go back and look at the offensive linemen that they had.

They were loaded. There's a reason why they won a national championship.

There's a reason why they put foots in Nebraska when Nebraska was really, really good on Thanksgiving or the day after Thanksgiving, excuse me. No, they don't have that level of talent.

And they're not going to get that level of talent because you don't have the resources to get, you know what I'm saying? If you can't do it with Prime, you can't do do it with no one.

No,

they don't have them. Look, when you go into the grocery store, all the stuff that they want you to get is eye level.

The really cheap stuff is on the bottom or on the top. Everything that they want you to purchase is right there in your eye level.
You can just reach and grab it. Right.

We got a lot of bottom of the barrel over there.

The really top players are at the top, and they don't have a stepladder to reach up there and get it.

I don't know if y'all been in the grocery store lately, but go in the grocery store and look our level and see they got all the main brand stuff.

Not the stuff that's in paper, the cereal that's in cellophane bags. They got the box, the Kellogg, the post, the good stuff.
You'll see right, you walk in, it's outlapped.

Damn, let me get rabbits right here. I'm gonna get this right here.
All the cookie sauces, all the oils, right there, right there. All the good soda, right there, right there.
All the good water.

Yeah. Right there, right there.
In arms reach.

It's not like that in football. The really good players are up there.

You have to reach up. You have to have reach up to get them.
Yeah. Or you have, excuse me.
Can you hand me that, son? You know, I'm in the grocery store and the old lady.

Excuse me, son. Yes, ma'am.
Can you hand me that? Sure.

Hey, but the funny thing about it, too, about those things that are not in arms' reach,

you know who it would take for Colorado to change their program around? Who?

It would take for one of the Saudis to be interested in Colorado for some reason and go buy after all the players that come there and transfer. Yeah.

That's that's about it.

That is about it.

There's only so much you can do coaching-wise. There's only so much you could do.
So they're just screwed forever.

Man,

you know, when you rub your hands,

hey, yeah.

Yeah, look, it's hard when I mean, Colorado might have what, three, four million dollars in IL, and then you got other teams like Ohio State got 25-30, and you got teams that got 15-20, and you got teams got 20-25,

and you got 10, got teams that got 10 to 15. You can't compete.

It's just like racing. NASCAR.

Look at the teams that got the money.

You look at Pinskey. You look at

Joe Gibbs. Yeah.

And you notice that.

You look at Jack Roush.

Hey, Uncle, I'm glad you just said that.

You notice when it comes to NASCAR or it comes to F1, the teams that have the most money, you do notice that they always consistently winning or always in the top, always in first.

Yes.

I tell you what.

Every year. Oh, Joe.

You know how you know who got the good cars? Go look at their cars. When you go see a car that got like two or three decals on it, they're going to be in the back.

You go to the track and you see decals everywhere on the hood, on the bumper, everywhere.

The cars even sound different.

I don't know if anybody's ever been to a NASCAR race. Go listen to

a Chase Elliott car. Listen to Danny Hamlin's car.
Listen to Bubba Wallace's car. Now go listen to somebody that's not with Jordan, that's not with Rouse, that's not with Joe Gibbs, that's not with

Rick Hendrix. Yeah, it's different.
Listen to Rick Hendrix

cars, how they sound. Look at, listen to Joe Gibbs drivers, cars, how they sound.
Look at.

We always said, and we always knew there would be perils of the NIL and the changes that came with it.

There would be casualties of war in the changes that were made just based off what your bankroll is. If I walk into a casino and I got two grand, my options are limited for what I can, what I can win.

Yeah, yeah. If I walk in and my bankroll is 24 million, I got some fuck around money to go on.
There are casualties of war in this game. with the current structure of what NIL is.

Now, will that change? To be determined.

However, right now as we sit currently in this present day there are casualties yeah and unfortunately colorado is one of them and there are many more out there

damn um

you people talking about what it's the drivers i tell you what you let them drivers you let them drivers go drive a car they got three decals on it and let me know how that feels let that go how it goes no they won't they won't be able to do nothing i ain't telling what somebody i'm telling you what i know won't be able to do nothing If you don't have the car with the stuff inside to perform at the highest level, it's not happening.

No,

you got the best engineers. You got the best mechanics.
You got the best spotter. You got the best team that money can buy.
There's a reason why Rick Hinton.

Go back and look and see who drivers win the chase.

I forgot about Richard Childress.

Go back and see how many, how many, it used to be, it used to be, hold on, Sprint, and then it was uh uh

a winston cup and now it's i don't know what they call it now but go back and look at rick hendrix children joe gift go back and look at their drivers go back and look

at how many cups they've won right

it's bro it's just it'll be just like ocho and i we going out there we getting on the bass circuit and what it is the no it's not me and ocho we got a little trolling motor and we had a we had a we had a 18-foot, and

we ain't got no outboards. We ain't got no every rule to no mercury.
We ain't got no jolly.

Let me catch you and Ocho on the bass circuit. I'm asking

the whole person.

Hey,

I'm Kate. I'm Van Dam.
I'm Kevin Van Dam. Why y'all bumping?

You out there.

Hey, fuck your hat. Hey, I'm catching Mike Academia.

I'm gonna never catch Mike Academy on the wall.

But it johnny you look in and in big time college football and it's always mattered people like oh all the nil deal is legal instead of giving it to you under the table because see what people were doing some teams

was buying gas the other team was buying the car for you to put gas in Somebody bought a refrigerator and a microwave, and then somebody built the house around the refrigerator and the microwave.

now ain't none of that hey we call the name image and likeness we call it whatever you want to but all i know there are some guys making three four million dollars

and and now it ain't enough nobody cares nothing about no scat pack don't nobody care nothing hey ain't nobody caring nothing about no challenger ain't nobody caring nothing about no charger

ain't nobody caring nothing about that hey you ain't got mclaren money you ain't got ferrari culling and money man why you in my why you in my grandma house no i went to uh like like I said earlier, I went to dinner with Pavia tonight.

And as I like got up towards the end of the Georgia game, I went to the to the waiter and I go, um, yo, let me uh get the check. I'm gonna take care of it for my young buck real quick.

He came back, he's like, Yo, the owner's already, uh, already took care of this whole thing. I sat there, I'm like, damn,

I would have got slapped with a two-game suspension for this back in my day. Now he's here, yeah, living the life, yeah.

I'm about to go out with him right now, and I'm gonna wrap my credit card up because I know I could get him a tweet deal tomorrow or something, get it right back.

Johnny,

had you been in NIL, Johnny, you'd have been 10 million. I wouldn't have gone to the league.
I would have taken a pay cut.

Oh, Johnny, I mean, think of, hold on. Think about what Arch Manning is making.

Now, think about Johnny, and he's playing like he's playing. He wins the Heisman, and he brings his ass back.

What is a Heisman trophy worth to a college?

and the guy's back for another season? Go look at that stadium now. Go look at what that program is now and those facilities and what AM looks like now.

What?

I look at it now as a blessing for the program, a blessing as the whole look. I got to set it off in such a positive way for A ⁇ M.
Now it's time to take it home. You did.
I can have that.

I have that forever. I go back to my grandma's house on Thanksgiving.
I walk in that house. The first thing that stares me in the face is that trophy.
I go back for Christmas, the same thing.

That is a forever thing that nobody can ever take take away from me.

I go to December every single year with my coat on and walk to Times Square and go see my boys who have all won that trophy and been there. It's a family.
It's a fraternity. It's special.
Sport.

And if you win that, you are forever badass. Forever.

Forever, forever.

It's Big Loan from It's Up There Podcast. On this episode, we're unpacking the difference between toxic love and a real bond.
How so many of us were taught to survive love instead of experiencing it.

A lot of men think being solid means being silent. I'm good.
I got it. That's the script we memorize before we even know ourselves.
Because somewhere along the line, expression got labeled weakness.

So now we perform composure while we're falling apart. You'll share your body, but not a conversation, and that's not intimacy.
But what if being a man really means you care enough to communicate?

Real love isn't loud, it's consistent. It's the small things, the small check-ins, the shared accountability, the honesty that feels awkward but keeps everyone safe.

Stop confusing numbness with dependability. We got to break the cycle and break the pattern.

Ojo CJ Carr matched the Notre Dame freshman record with four touchdown passes, and Jeremiah Love caught two of those passes and rushed for two more scores as the fighting Irish beat Arkansas 56-13.

Carr, 22-30, 354, matched the touchdown passing record slipped by Ron Paulus and threw four scores in the first career game against Northwestern in 1994.

Carr, a red shirt freshman, threw for 294 and the four touchdowns in the first half, leading the scoring drives 75, 73, 75, 70, 75, and 45 yards.

He didn't play the fourth quarter as Notre Dame led by 36 points.

Ojo, you're impressed with the Fighting Irish?

Yeah.

They had a bad loss. Was it last week, Ocho, that they lost?

This was a good bounce back based on what happened last week.

The group got themselves together, dusted yourself off, come back. make a statement, have a statement game.
This was their statement game. This was their statement game.

Now, what you want to do as far as for the Fighter Irish, you don't want to lose any more games.

No, lose any more games. You can't.
You can't. You're done.
You lose another game. You're done.
You're not going anywhere.

I don't believe there'll be a team to make the college football playoffs.

Now, maybe, Ocho, if they expand it, we're too long. Yeah.
No.

I mean, you look at what they did. They had 431 yards passing.
They had 210 yards rushing. That's

641 yards.

Arkansas had 17. Damn, Joe.
Joe might need to get back out there. Joe might, you need to invest some money, Joe, in this program.
Y'all want to, you know, keep stuff like this from happening.

30 rushes, 158 yards for Arkansas, 17 to 32, 207. No touchdowns, one interception.
But Notre Dame got it going early and often. They scored 14 in the first quarter, 28 in the second quarter.

So they had 40, it was 42, 13 at the half. They got seven in the third.

And so Carr didn't play in the fourth quarter, but there was no need for him to play.

But they look good. They look, look,

they played an inferior team. And when you play an inferior team, you're killing that with a slate.
That's what it should look like. You're absolutely right, Ocho.

But this is what we need to see when you play the big boys.

Well,

maybe, maybe you're not going to see 56-13, but you need to see a little bit.

Ocho, hold on. Who did they lose to? Was it Northern Illinois last year that they ended up losing to? I think they lost to Texas AM.
They're like, hold on. I'm like, come on, man.

What are you doing? Right, right.

I think that's who they might have lost to Texas AM this year.

They've lost a couple of games this year. But

Texas AM. Texas AM.
And then they lose to Northern Illinois last year also.

Yes.

Yeah, that was the game that.

Right. That was the game that, you know,

I think he reached out to the coach, and the coach told him how they beat him and some of the tendencies, some of the things that were going on.

But this is a big way to get a nasty taste out of your mouth when losing is to go on the road and thump somebody by the score of 56 to 13.

Number 15, Tennessee beats Mississippi State 41-34 in overtime. The volunteers finished with 466 total yards of offense.

Mississippi State

had this game, and then the quarterback all of a sudden he couldn't keep his feet. He rolled out,

feet go out from under him.

I just don't, sometimes I don't understand these teams.

They be playing so good and just methodically just moving the ball up and down the field, short stuff, intermediate stuff, sprinkle some runs in, a little screen here and there.

And then all of a sudden, they forget what they did to get them to lead. Or, you know, they get conservative, ocho.

Listen, it's always getting conservative.

You throw everything in the kitchen sink at them, then you run out of play to call. So, when you run out of plays to call, what's the first thing you do? You go in your safe box,

your safe box and get you beat every time.

You're right. Um,

Tennessee got a heck of a schedule. They still got uh

they still got Alabama on their schedule. Uh,

What's Tennessee schedule looking like? Because

they lost to, I think, Georgia in overtime last week.

Oh, here it is, right here. Got it in the game right here.

Oh, they got Oklahoma still on the schedule. They got Bama in Bama.

Aguilar threw for 2440. 335 with touchdowns, two interceptions.
They ran the ball 32 times for 131 yards. Had two receivers go over 100 yards receiving.
Mississippi State

Shaping, 18 to 29, 180, one touchdown, one interception. They ran the ball 57 times.
Damn.

57 rush attempts for 198 yards. 57.
God damn. That's what I said.

But Tennessee, they found a way to get it done.

Stopped them on fourth down in overtime, and they get a much needed hard-fought victory on the road against an SEC opponent. Tennessee escapes 41-34 for Mississippi State in overtime.

Louisville student manager got into a scuffle with Pitt defensive back over football after Pitt said, you see that L Joe?

For those unaware, each team brings their own balls to the game. After the pick six, the ball boy job is to retrieve the ball back, but the guys weren't playing fair.

Oh, Joe, have you ever seen a situation like that before? Nah, that was my first, that was my first time seeing something like that.

And obviously, he, the ball boy, won the ball back because it was the other team's ball. So, it was his team's ball, it was, it was the uh, it was West Virginia's ball, right?

Because that game was at West Virginia, right? Ash,

Louisville,

so Louisville Pitt picked it off, yeah, yeah. So, so it was,

So the game was at home on the road. But either way, it was their ball.
Because it was the opposing team's ball. His job is to get the ball back.

He wanted to keep it. He wanted to keep the interception ball.
Yeah, yeah. So

he was playing with, I guess he was going to throw it up in the stands and give it to the opposing team. I mean, to the fans.
Right.

Now, normally we see the ball boy Ocho running, you know, keeping up. He likes the guys running, he keeping up with him.
We see that from time to time.

But I don't know if I've ever seen a situation like this. You're like, hey, they're like, bro, back up, man.

He wasn't playing by the ball,

he was not playing by trying to get that ball back.

But that was Louisville ball boy, though, right? Yeah,

bro, back up, man. You're doing too much.
You take the job way too serious, bro.

They'll probably tell him, say, hey, look, I understand

you're doing your job, but if a situation like that, just let it go. Let it go yeah

yeah

hey hey you're hard work he a he's a hard worker ojo he go for a he's a guy hey he followed he followed he followed instructions and you know listen it ain't only the players that's getting paid now you know

everybody get a little check out there i need that Now, I think that I don't know a ball boy yet, but he get to travel to Ocho. You know what I'm saying? I get to travel.
Ocho, think about it now.

If you're a college student,

now a lot of times the ball boy might be one of the coaches' sons or something like that. Because a lot of times the ball boys were coaches' kids.

You know, somebody that worked, that worked for the Broncos or worked for the Ravens. You know, Kyle, Kyle,

Coobe's son, Clint, he got two sons, Clint and Klein. I think he got three boys, but two of them off his coordinator.
Clint called plays for Seattle.

They used to be out there shagging balls. They used to do all kinds of stuff.
So that was the thing. You know, the coaches' kids, you know, position coaches, DB coaches, whatever, they shag balls.

Right. Now, everybody didn't get to go, but, you know, a lot of times, coach's son,

before they had the cordless mic coaching, remember they used to have the cord. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so the coach's son or somebody had to carry the coach's son because they didn't want people stepping on it. Right.

And I remember, hey, I remember Jeffrey Gebbers

was supposed to be going into the game and

he didn't see the cord. And by this time, they had pulled a cord.

Yeah, so

Jumping was going. He's getting ready just to step over it.
Yeah.

They snatched the cord. So Jumpy getting ready to step over it.
It caught his foot.

Man, Jumpy like,

going out.

Man, the stuff that happened on the sideline, Ocho, I used to be laughing. Hey, some of the fucking

coaches get run over. Yeah.
Get ran over.

You gotta make sure you're okay, Ocho. Make sure you're okay.
Oh, he gets up, it's over. Yeah, you laughing.
What?

And don't hey, don't let us win the game and you got run over and you get your ass on that bus. Right.
Oh, you're gonna get it. You're gonna get it.
What? Forever.

Forever.

Oh, it'd be 10 years deep. Hey, man, you remember you got ran over in Indy?

Hey, that's that's one of them everlasting moments that ain't ever going to...

What a matchup we got, y'all. This is that classic HBCU vibe.
Non-stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lick.
Chants echo. Drum beating.
Everybody's showing that school pride. Game like this?

Yeah, it calls for an ice-cold Coca-Cola.

Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there.

Mmm, yeah. That taste always hits the right note, just like the band at halftime.

And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere, and an ice cold Coca-Cola, that's a winning combo.
No matter the sport, no matter the yard, everybody knows.

Fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca-Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

What's up, it's Big Loon from It's Up There Podcast. On this episode, we're unpacking the difference between toxic love and a real bond.

How so many of us were taught to survive love instead of experiencing it a lot of men think being solid means being silent i'm good i got it that's the script we memorize before we even know ourselves because somewhere along the line expression got labeled weakness so now we perform composure while we're falling apart you'll share your body but not a conversation and that's not intimacy but what if being a man really means you care enough to communicate real love isn't loud it's consistent.

It's the small things, the small check-ins, the shared accountability, the honesty that feels awkward but keeps everyone safe. Stop confusing numbness with dependability.

We got to break the cycle and break the pattern.

This special episode of It's Up Dead Podcast with Long brought to you by Healthy Sexual from Gilead Sciences on the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcast.

10 athletes will face the toughest job interview in fitness that will push past physical and mental breaking points.

Pressure is coming down.

Man, hey, that manager's like, look here, I wonder if they get scholarship. Oh, Joe, he might get partial scholarship for that.

Who that?

The student manager. He might get some books, some tuition off his tuition.
Probably, probably. Listen, I know he get a little chunk of change now.
I just know it.

Oh, Joe, Oklahoma State five veteran coach Mike Gundy earlier this week. This is what the greatest head coach in college football had to say about Gundy's firing.

Some people have a tougher time embracing the whole idea of paying players, especially some of us old-timers. It's a little bit more difficult.

Coaching is teaching, and teaching is the ability to inspire learning. For those of us who kind of get that, that's been our self-gratification for so many years.

Embracing paying the players has been a little bit harder. And I think ultimately, that's what got them at Oklahoma State.

It's going to get dabo too oh yeah absolutely because he was supposed to be gone dabbo supposed to have a mid left when he said the moment they start playing oh before you go dabo said the moment they start playing paying college players

yeah listen they that's that i call that small talk um it's when it's small when you're talking small talk you're just talking just to talk

You know good and well you're going to go on the web. And the fact that if you don't want to pay, now you're seeing

it might cost you you your job on the back end

because you got the plate, you got to pay to win. One thing you got to do in life,

no matter what you do, is you got to evolve with the times. Pay to play.
You got to evolve with the times. It's

a pay to win.

Hey,

this notion, hey, well, if you're tired of winning, no, the expectations are you just can't win, Dabo. No,

you can't.

And you know that.

I don't, Ocho,

I don't care if somebody else is getting paid as long as I'm getting paid. You think I, let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho,

I make $5 million. Yeah.
All of a sudden, I work for this company and they want to pay the janitor $700,000. Why I care? Right.
His $700,000 ain't coming out of my pay. Right.

Dabbo makes $11,000, $12 million a year.

Why do you care in order to still field a good competitive team and go to that and win national championships why do you care right if a player makes a million two million dollars it's not coming out of your salary

i i don't know just some you know he's an old old school coach y'all yes

you know

i think i've such and such making so i don't care what such and such make not one dime came out of Shannon's pocket. So guess what? I'm happy such and such making this.

As long as it don't come out of my pocket, as long as you don't take for me to pay somebody else, I don't give a damn who gets paid. Yeah.

I think also,

you know how it is too with kids, they already don't listen with no money. You add money, it's a whole different ballgame.
But you know that.

Oh, Joe, it's the same. Look, listen, a lot of kids now are like this.
Yeah. The more you give a kid, the more

you, it is what it is.

But guess what? It's It's on a one-year thing. College scholarship, you have to renew the college scholarship.

You don't get a scholarship for four years.

It gets renewed every year. Every year.

Okay.

He unruly. Move on.

Move on.

The ones that want to be there, the ones that have aspirations of going further,

will listen, do what they need to do, make their money, and move on. Yeah.

Those that won't, those that don't, you're going to have to move on without, oh, Joe, there have been good players in the NFL that teams have had to let go.

There have been good players

at any job sometimes that don't want to listen, that you have to let go. It is what it is.

But Coach Saban said it.

Some of us old-timers, that's why Coach Saban left. Yeah.

Everybody knows what I think of St. Nick, but that's why.
Yeah.

I mean, that was common sense yes but but but

had one of the biggest car dealerships in the country

damn i get listen i'm i'm i'm picking up what you're putting down i'm i'm picking up what you're putting down

did you see uh

uh

who is that ojo

texas When they had them recruits and they had all them Ferraris and Lambos and McClair's line up out in the stadium, front of the stadium, yes, absolutely.

Now, you know, all of a sudden, a demon don't look, and I like I got a challenge, I got the black ghost, right?

But all of a sudden, I'm seeing Ferrari and Lambos and McLaren's, right? You know what?

All of a sudden, that Hellcat and that demon and that oh, it ain't the same. That track halt don't look the same, oh, Joe.
I like track halts,

it ain't the same.

And Coach Sabin said, He said, we got a hard time. We're not used to players getting paid

that we knew about.

But now

we know about it, it's harder for them to adjust, Ocho. That's just the side of the times, Ocho.
Guess what? It used to be a situation that players didn't make more than coaches.

So you had some level of control.

Now the players are making 10 times what the coach makes.

Oh, yeah.

At least double.

Except the big coaches. Well, I mean, just think about it.
Probably the highest paid coach now might be Andy Reid. Let's just say Andy Reed makes 18 million.

How many players in the NFL making more than 18 million?

300, 400?

I mean, how many quarterbacks? Oh, yo, think about how far you got to go down before you find a quarterback that's making 20 million. I mean, because it started 60,

and now you got receivers making 40

you got edge rushers making 40 you got corners making 20. yeah

hell you got a tight end making 19 running backs making 20.

so

you probably got at least 100 players

at least 100 i'd say a hundred at least making $20 million a year, Ocho.

At least 100 NFL players.

Man, you won't believe what I just did, man. What'd you just do?

I just went to drink the bowl.

It's covered with ants.

Oh, you must have lifted it out. It's right here in front of me.
You just opened it? No, it's been sitting there. I've been, you know, sipping.
But when I just drank just now,

I'm like, what the hell is all this on my lips? It's covered with ants. So I done drank some of the ants by accident.

You say you tried, you say you like chocolate-covered ads, so they just didn't have any chocolate on them

now.

Damn,

well, you all right, it won't kill you. You ate what you'd have ate worse things than that,

like what? No, no,

I'm on probation.

I've been taught probation.

Russell Wilson could be on the trade block for several teams.

Despite Wilson publicly stating that he's not going to request a trade from the Giants, he's expected to emerge as a major trade candidate prior to the November 4th deadline.

Quarterback injuries have already hit the Commanders, Vikings, 49ers, and Bengals. Ocho, which team could you see shooting their shot at Russ?

I mean, look at the situation for the teams. You just made, you said commanders, Jayden Daniels will be back.

Viking, JJ McCarthy, how long JJ out? JL's not out that long.

They didn't say. I think they said maybe two weeks.
Yeah, so JJ will be back.

If anything, the only team that makes sense whose quarterback is going to be out for a substantial amount of time is the Bengals.

So, I mean, Russell Wilson to the Bengals, if anything, I mean, I like it being that Russell Wilson to throw out the ball and he goes to a situation that's a little bit better for him because you have players around you where you don't have to elevate them.

They're going to elevate your play,

being at what he has at his disposal as far as weaponry is concerned. Joe Burrow doesn't come back to December.

And the funny thing, depending on how we play this year, if we're not doing well, Monday night is going to be a tall tale for that.

Depending on how that game goes, there's a chance Russell Wilson might be in the building next week.

I think the thing is, the problem is, OJO,

he'll be going to a team that his offensive line isn't much better than what he's leaving in New York. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Now,

he does have, he does, but we've seen at the end of the day, it's hard to throw back, get completions on your back. Yeah, yeah, most definitely.
Most definitely. Most definitely.

But it's sure going to be sweet having one in five to throw to, though.

Yeah, for sure. It's going to be sweet having one in five to throw to.
I know. I can tell you that.
Jake Brownie got one in five to throw to. But you see him running for his life

and he gonna be running for his life again because guess what yeah the broncos could rush the passer oh man we ain't paying the broncos no mad man you gotta rush the passer bronze no man because i'm telling you when we come on the show monday when you come on no sunday night oh it's over for you monday monday monday monday it's a monday night game

do me a favor don't come on here sad don't come on here with no excuses i ain't gonna be sad

sean payton did this and bonics didn't do that i don't i don't want to hear nothing.

One thing I know about Jake Browning, he has never lost a Monday night game. He ain't never played one either.

Does that matter?

Does that matter? All right, you'll see.

Okay, you'll see.

Lance Briggs apparently gave one of the worst halftime speeches ever. Take a listen to this, Ocho.
Wait, Briggs.

He has read the worst speech I've ever heard in my entire

career like high school college and pro was the worst

we were losing to cincinnati lance was in charge of the huddle that week because i think black was out i think lack was hurt that year

so lance gets everybody together he said i usually don't say nothing

I usually don't speak out when original matters like this. But everybody broke it and the same man i got something to say and i usually don't do this

man we we gotta win read in man

the worst

speech i've ever had

that was it

that was it and everyone when he said it was like

he didn't motivate Nothing. He didn't motivate off this.
But man, we lost worse after that. I felt like Queen.
He came out and scored five more touchdowns after that speech.

Lance Briggs, you're one of the worst motivational speakers I ever heard in my life. You still

just not for motivational speeches.

Hey, but that's funny, man. I was waiting on something deep.
I was waiting on something deep and philosophical.

When it comes to speeches,

the best person I know,

when I think about giving speeches,

and

I ain't even play with Ray.

I ain't even play with Ray.

But when it comes to, you know, motivating and

the right things, man, Ray's special, boy. Man, I was tired.
Man, would you tell me about breaking up? Any dogs in the house? Right. I did that the first week.
Right. I was out of breath.

I moved to the back. Hey, Ocho, I ride that there with him.
Hit a dog in the house.

Hit a dog to the house. I ride that with him, Ocho.

The next week, I'll be the back.

Yep, I'm here.

Hey, boy, hey, them boy used to be. Hey, y'all, y'all used to be in turn.
Oh, we'd be hype. Hey,

the greatest intro Shug

had,

still has the greatest intro

in sports history. Nobody will ever top that entry.
Easily.

Nobody. Nobody will ever top Shug's entry.
Yeah. Nobody.
So don't try.

Look,

if you want, John Wall Dougie,

you never had an entry, an intro. Nobody.
Michael Jordan's bull and that guard, 6'6 from North Carolina. Yeah.

Hey, and from at 6'8 from St. Benz and St.
Mary. Yeah.
Ain't nobody touching Shul.

Ain't nothing like Ray Boy.

It wasn't none like Ray.

Yeah, but I couldn't do it, man. I had done got old ocho i had to i had to get to the back i ain't had them kind of lungs on me no more man

you hey because i was already i'm already like see me and you a lot of light see i'm already an emotional player i already get hype oh yeah so the last thing i need

man i end up took man

i let them boys talk me up ocho yeah you know i used to give you these these uh uh these pills to get you to get you you know get you get you going yeah

so they're like man i said man

man give me give me one of the things. So I took two of them, Mocho.
Two?

Before the game?

Like, 30 minutes before the game, Mocho.

Now, as a matter of fact, Ocho,

like,

we're coming off the field. So I get to get to the locker room.
Right.

Hey, man, let me get, hey, let me get everybody. I see everybody else taking a mocho.
I'm rookie. Hey, man, give me that.
Right.

Good lord.

Man,

my

be fast.

I said, damn.

I said, well, you know what?

You know, hey, and I'm literally, you know, everybody got headphones all over, so I got me some headphones. You know, I have a headphones, so I would get right to it.
I would be, yeah.

My heart's like, okay, let me take the headphones off. Hey, maybe that's maybe it's the music.

She gotta take them deep breaths?

My heart ain't slowing down, though, Ocho.

Ocho,

we win the kick and we deferred. So I gotta run.
So, Ocho, I gotta run down.

No, no, no, no, no. We lost the kick.
I'm on kick return. Right.
So, you know, I gotta go. So, you know, Ocho, I gotta run back.

Hey,

hey, they called 12 personnel.

I ain't gonna be able to go in there. What happened?

I couldn't catch my breath, Ocho.

I had to go.

Oh, you had to go get on oxygen.

What the hell they gave you?

I think they gave me Fin Fin.

ocho

i swear i swear my heart beat my heart had to be racing about 200 about 205 210 beats a minute minute

ocho i thought i was gonna have a heart attack man

because i'm already because i'm already i already get pumped yeah

man i like to die

Because I, because, because I, ocho, I had, I really, this is why I stopped listening, but I had to listen to something like slow music. I needed something to slow me down.

So I needed a Maxwell. I needed a Michelle Ndangiocello.
I needed Sade.

I needed something to slow me down. Ocho, I would literally run one play and have to come out the game and get on oxygen.
Oh, Joe, I'll be, oh, I'll be so hyped.

I would be so excited.

Man, ocho, I mean, I run down there because the the kickoff back then, see, it's not like it is now. Oh, Joe, they let you get as far as you want to.
Ocho, I line up at 15 yards. Right.

And Treadwell was our first kicker. He would look to the left.
You good? Look to the right. I was on the left-hand side.
He looked, I'm good. But I way back there, Ocho.

Man, when I joke with, hey, would I joke with drop his head? Ocho, you gone.

When he kicked the ball, Ocho, I'm in a full spirit.

By the time the guy said

to turn around, you're probably going by him. I pushed him in his chest.
He's done. He's gone.

Hey, and you run it. So, you know, I was a three.
So

I'm right there on the numbers.

I'm the three.

I'm knifing it. Go away from him if you want to.

I'm knifing

right away. But I'm going straight to the oxygen team.
Just so you know. Just so you know.
Hell no. Hey, that's funny.

That's funny. If you notice, Ocho, I wasn't one of those guys that, like, when my teammate scored, Ocho, if I wasn't in the end zone, I'd get you on the sideline.

I'm out of gas, Ocho. I ain't got nothing for you.
I need to be in the end zone when you score or close by. Other than that, I'm blowed.
Catch you on the sideline? Yeah, I catch them on the sideline.

Ocho, we're back with our newest segment, Play or Fade, presented by PrizeFix, High It Works. The Nightcalf staff have made lineups for the picks.

Either you play the lineup or or make some changes, choosing more or less. I'm going to get this right.
Promo Square, Jalen Hurts, more than 0.5 passing yards. That's an easy one.
I got that.

Daniel Jones, who they play?

More than 1.5 touchdown passes. Who are they playing? The Rams.

In LA?

I don't think they're going to lose.

They're playing NLA. That don't mean nothing.

Daniel Jones looked like a whole different quarterback. I'm going under.

Less.

Michael Parsons, more than 0.75 sacks in his return. More.

He's going to get at least one.

Two.

All he needs is one. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, man, where are these little motherfuckers coming from?

Man, and you're talking about come visit you. You got ants.
Man, I wish I might. You don't got no ants? No, I ain't got no ants.

80, 80, hey, um, these sugar ants. I had ants because somebody thought this was a dinner table.

Who?

Because what?

No, because you eat. Because you eat it.
I'm like, well, damn.

I got a bar. They got

four chairs. I got a breakfast thing that got five chairs.
And I got another seating area to hold 12 people.

Jordan eating here.

And then throw the stuff in the trash.

And left it there. And you know, what you call the energy drink queen over here.
That's all she do. And throw everything in the trash.

You heard me, huh? Huh? It's them little sugar ants.

Okay, the ants.

And how they, you know what I always be confused about?

Like, ain't nothing here.

How the hell they get in the house? Easy.

They got a key.

Nah, I'm for real. I'm just, I'm just curious.
Oh, Joe, you see how small ants are?

You may see me an elephant.

They just walk right up under the door.

Did y'all have rain?

Had it rained in Miami? All day today, man.

When you want to get out the rain?

All right. That's how it works, Ocho.
Okay, I got you. I ain't really had no problem with ants or infestation before, so it's kind of new to me.

How it works, Ocho?

Animals want to get out the rain.

So guess what? They're going to go someplace where it's dry. Ocho, A.
I heard Ocho place

is nice and dry. Okay, let's meet over there.

Yeah. Ta-da.

I know how to kill them, though. They got a little thing at Walmart.
It's like a little circle, and they go to it, and they all die. I'm going to go get that in the morning.

So that's what you're thinking, huh? Yeah,

combat. It's called combat.

I don't know what it's called.

But I know if

you don't get somebody to come out there, they're going to be back.

Yeah, mean i'm just i'm i'm mad because i drunk them by accident

you okay oh joe it ain't gonna kill you

like i say you don't ate worse stuff

not not really i mean what like

you know

i'm on conversation probation until 26

and my parole officer is watching the show

Oh, Lord.

Ocho. The bleeding continue at the U.S.
team at the Ryder, the 45th Ryder Cup. Americans lost three of four foresome matches and trailed the Europeans 8-5 in what quickly becoming a

Beth Page Black blowout. But third straight session, very little went right for the U.S.
team only to

only one of its three losses, reached the 17th hole. Barring a miraculous comeback to the U.S.

team in danger of losing the Ryder Club for the 11th time in the past 15 matches to the Europeans on American soil for the first time since 2012.

Man, look here.

I follow golf a little bit. Right.
Some of these guys, Ocho, I ain't heard of it, and they're kicking a mess out of guys that I know. Right.

But you know what? We shouldn't be surprised. Tiger Woods, many believe is the greatest golfer.
He was terrible at Ryder Cup.

Phil Mickelson was terrible at Ryder Cup.

And it's a lot of the guys

that you don't think of, I don't know, maybe the Europeans, maybe they just get up for it.

Maybe that's everything to them. But all I know is they put foots to Americans, you know what, when it comes to this.
Yeah.

The Ryder Cup. Yes.
And

yeah,

I'm not much of a golfer, let alone a golf fan in general. But, I mean, I'm assuming they've been dominating us for a very long time.

Well, if they win this one, oh, Joe, they ain't even, oh, Joe, they beating us 5-4.

That means they up five holes with four holes to play. There's nothing you can do.
Right. They're beating us six, five.
They're beating us four-three.

Come on, man. Damn.

It's times like that.

It's times like that where they could use my expertise

and my skill.

Man, this is ridiculous, man.

I mean,

I can't remember big time last time. Big John Ron won something.
He out there putting foots in everybody.

Scotty Sheffler is the best golfer in the world by far. Yeah, Scotty, that's my dog.

Well, well, you need to call your dog and tell him he needs to do something.

That's my dog.

Cause everybody putting foots in us.

I mean, it's the rider cup.

I don't give a damn what it's called.

We kind of dominate every other thing, especially individually.

Well, I tell you what,

they're going to need to win probably about 15 of these matches. What's the likelihood? Man, we down 11.
What we down?

11 to 4.5?

Yeah.

11 and a half to four and a half.

Really?

Man, this thing.

Do something, fight.

At least pinch him. Man, this is man, this is ridiculous.
Man, look here, Ocho. This thing ain't even close.

My sister in here watching, I said, why are you watching it?

Man, somebody won't nothing fall for us.

I mean, she all lit, she all lit it.

Oh, man, that's funny. Yeah, she all lit it.
Obviously, my brother, he had surgery yesterday, so he don't, he listening to it, but he ain't, he can't watch it. How you feeling? He good?

Yeah, yeah. He uh,

he has to spend um

basically, he's spending probably about 16 of his hours face down.

16.

Yep.

Oh, he gets. No, he gotta be gotta be in that face cradle, right? Like the massage table, basically.

Yep, yeah,

yep.

Damn,

yeah, it's tough.

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

Let me throw this can out there.

Well, hell, you done drunk most of them. Now you might as well finish them off.

He talking about, he talked about maybe throw the can away. He done drunk a whole can full of.

Yeah.

Bring them back, Ocho.

I mean, them cousins and friends that you're throwing in the trash. The rest of them want to join your rest of their family in your belly.
Nah.

I only swallowed like three, huh?

That's three more to your shoulder. Aaron Jones said the Ryder Cup is embarrassing.
Whoever coaches the team needs to be gone. We have the best in the world.
We don't.

I think Keegan Bradley is the captain. Isn't Keegan Bradley the captain?

I'm almost certain it is.

Look, you got, I think the thing is, Ocho, is that you have to understand. I heard

the guy talking the other day.

Keegan Bradley is the captain. And then, you know,

but he was saying is that

according to the course, the Europeans, They pick guys. Let's just say it's a dog leg this way.
They pick guys that can play the dog legs well, right?

The first hole is kind of set up like the last hole, and boom, boom, boom. And there's a 60% chance if you win the first hole, you're probably going to win the match, so forth, and so on.

So they get guys accordingly, they're just not necessarily taking the best player.

We're taking the best players that might not fit the golf course. Oh, so I mean, listen, it's golf.
It's golf. You mean you have you have golfers that play better on certain courses? Yes.

Well, I mean, if it, yes, if it's that easy and that strategic, then we should be able to do the same thing. Well, we not.

So, we not.

That's nice. That's nice.
If there's a chord that you need to draw, you need to fade, you get stingers. It all depends.
Right.

And it seems like they push all the right effing buttons every effing time.

I mean, if I was a golf, you know, if, boy, if I was, ooh.

Boy, if I was really a golf

fanatic, we're getting the dole blow. I'm like, man, please.

Ugh.

Talking may him podcast said Deion Sanders needs to actually recruit, LOL, sitting these players' homes and recruit, overhauling your team every year via portal. Does it work, bud?

Maybe, maybe.

Maybe.

It's going to be hard for you to recruit. I mean, I look at it like this if coach saban coach bryant joe paternal barry swifter dr tom osbourne

if they went to players houses right

i understand your time

hold on you don't you don't think time went to players houses

uh that's it's to my understanding he doesn't

I guess he beat them when they, when the, on the official, when the visit, right?

See if we can get confirmation of that, Ash.

I see Prime as a coach that would want to meet the parents face to face, though.

Well, we're about to find out.

Look, obviously, he can't travel. You know, look, he really has some limitations now dealing with that bladder issue.
He had the surgery.

How soon could he fly after the surgery? You know,

he does not do in-home visits.

Oh, shit. Okay, that's different.
And coaches are going to look, players are going to look at that like, oh, you're too good to come to us. Because as I said, I'm, oh, Joe, let me ask you a question.

Let's just say for the sake of argument,

you wanted your girlfriend to meet your family. And she said, nah, I don't meet family.

Tell me what you're thinking.

Why?

Matter of fact.

I don't do that. That's not what I do.
But matter of fact,

if you don't want to be my family and you don't do that, just saying, you ain't really the one for me. Okay.

I'm going to make it easy. Okay.

Yeah.

Hey, could you imagine Prime

walking to your house, flying? Yes, I could. The same thing I imagine if Coach Saban walked into my home, if Barry Switzer, a Dr.
tom osbourne

absolutely or or coach bear bryant walks into my living room walks into my grandmother's house dean smith walks into my grandmother's house john wooden coach wooden walks into my grandmother's house absolutely i know what that means hey hold on can you imagine

You know what's going to happen, right? You know, that's going to be a whole fiasco. Boy, y'all boy won't believe who come into the house to sit down with me and moms and pops with day.
absolutely.

And everybody, the whole family doesn't show up. Whole neighborhood.
Whole neighborhood outside of Waving. Yep.

Yes. I could imagine.
Yes.

That lets me know they really want. Look here, Ocho.
If Coach Saban shows up, what's that telling you?

If Coach Wooden, Coach Dean Smith, if they show up to you, because come on, Ocho, a lot of these, not everybody ain't going to be middle class, but everybody ain't got no screen door that's hanging off and everybody don't live in the projects.

But for

Coach Sabin or one of these big-time coaches to come sit their ass on my,

I got duct tape, electric tape. I got a, we got phone books and Sears and Roebuck books and JCPenney books that's holding up the coffee table for him to come sit down.

Oh man, please.

That'd be a huge honor.

An unbelievable honor. But you know what? It's so funny these days.
You ain't got to do that.

You just open up your checkbook.

They still coming. Yeah.

Them parents want to see you.

How are you going to make my son a better player? How are you going to make my son a better man? And how you going to get him to the NFL?

Because I want to hear you tell me that in my home. Right.

Yeah, it's just, it's just,

it's too many, too many,

too many discrepancies. And

I don't know. It's different.

I'm just saying, Ocho. Yeah, I know.
I know what you mean. I know what you mean.
But we do have to understand this is prime. We're talking about, you know,

homes. And

you need to have, but you have to understand.

This ain't just no anybody. Ocho, he embarked.
He embarked into a job that this is what's required. See, I can't, oh Joe, I can't say, man, I don't really like blood if I'm a veterinarian.

Man, I don't like blood, but I'm gonna be a doctor. Doctor, right, right, right, right.
You're a coach now. Yeah,

you're prime, and I understand you're coach prime, but there are certain aspects that come along with coaching, yeah, that's above the individual. Yeah,

I don't know. Yeah, listen, I hear like I said, all I'm saying is this.
I know two coaches, and I know

Ozzie Newsom, who was my former boss, general manager. Bear Bryant came and sat down in his house.

Coach Bryant won six national championships.

Those top players,

Coach Sabin, won seven national championships.

He came in the people's grandmother's home,

moms' homes, uncles, aunts. Yeah.
Sat on the couch, sat at a dinner table, saw the cross, and told him what he was going to do for their young, for their sons, their grandsons, their nephews.

That goes a long way. That means something.
Because I want a man to look.

Ocho, you know how we think. Oh, you think you too, oh, you think you're too good to come to my house, huh?

Oh, that was okay.

That's fine. Jakore said, what up? What's with Deion Sanders? Time to have a conversation about him.

Or is it Pat, the former Trash Bingles coordinator? Sorry, you know what, Bingles.

Look.

The first couple of drives, I thought, like, man, man, see, you look real, the man, the buffs look really good. Yeah, really good.
But man, damn, the defense, man, can't stop anybody.

And then on third down, it's a struggle to get third and one, third and four. I was just like,

oh.

I don't know.

Maybe they need, maybe they need an offensive coordinator with more imagination.

I don't know, Joe. Hey, huh? Imagination, no imagination.

What you need to execute the plays on the field?

Jims and Joe's. There you go.

And that's no disrespect to them young bulls out there.

You're right. You got to have the players.
But how do you get said players to go to Colorado?

Money talks in this day and age. Everybody has a price.

Everybody.

Okay.

Shakur said they need Turkey and Jesus in Boulder.

I guess they need your Royal Highness.

Hey, he was talking trash?

SMB, I think that's his name, Ben Salman. The Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty, the name that he goes by.
Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, well, if you had that kind of money, you definitely probably could get some players.

You had that kind of money, Colorado would be undefeated because they have every player they want, offense and defense. Yeah.

Yeah, you definitely, they did.

Absolutely.

Jolie said, more importantly, Georgia Tech won with former

TMU. Texas A ⁇ M, I guess, Hayes King, and Georgia lost, so it's a great day.

Yes, Georgia stopped a two-point conversion at Wake Forest in order to win the game. They were behind pretty much the whole day.
Came back and found a way to win. So, yep, if you're a Tech fan,

I'm trying to figure out. That's another team that got two names, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket and the Rambling Wreck.
How do you get two names in college football?

Auburn Tigers and the War Eagle.

The Rambling Wreck, the Yellow Jackets. Man, that's a good question that I don't know the answer to.

Christian Phil said, glad y'all lost money picking against Bamboo, fools.

Who lost money?

You bet with Bamboo?

I don't bet.

Oh.

I mean,

I probably would have lost.

I probably would have gave up. I'd have gave up those two and a half.
Yeah. Because it wasn't like a whole bunch.
And then, you know,

I mean, we saw Georgia on a neutral. We saw Georgia, Florida State.
And then, yeah, they blew the doors. They blew the doors off somebody 73, 77 or nothing.
And then they beat Wisconsin at home.

And I think they had a bye week.

And then they come to, you know, beat Georgia. So I probably, had I had I bet, which I don't,

I probably would have lost OJo. I ain't gonna even lie.

Kimber Dorwood Jr. said, uh, I'm ready for Night Cal Bowl on Monday.
Oh, yeah. I'm ready to.
It's going down, Kimper. It's going down.
Make sure you have some tissue with you, huh?

All right. See how you talking?

I'm talking real quick. Who they,

who they, who they think they're going to beat them bangles. Yeah, you know.
When they.

When they. When they gonna win a game.
And let me tell you, let me tell you what.

Let me tell you what goddamn Uno gonna do to patrick sertain jr what are you gonna do let me tell you what uno gonna do to man take him to the cleaners

okay

and and sertain better hope he better hope he ain't got to deal with goddamn t higgins

i just hope you better hope he can get it off

but need to coming who bonito

man we ain't worried about jet

he'd be coming up he be flying off the edge ale whoa. He cool.

Mim's going to lock him up. Orlando Brown going to lock him up.
Mim's going to go, oh, man. Watch Bonito just dip up on him.
Go.

I thought Bonito probably had like two, probably two, two and a half.

Two and a half, what? Sacks.

You don't even believe that. Two and a half.

Lee demands, will Jamar Chase have have over under 13 touchdowns this season?

How many he got right now? He got one right now, right, Ocho? How many touchdowns does Chase got?

That's a good question. I'm not sure.
We're in week four.

I'm not sure.

He got one.

He had 17 last year.

But he had a couple of games where he had like three or two. I mean, all it takes, you know, look.

You take one game to catch fire, huh?

Yeah,

and touchdowns like sacks, they come in bunches.

You go a stretch, Ocho, where you have four or five games, and you'll have a touchdown every game. And then one game will be thrown in there, you'll have two.

And next thing you know, you looked up, like, damn, I ain't have no touchdowns. Now I got six.
Yeah, that's how it happened, too. That's exactly how it happens.

Non-stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lick.

Everybody's showing that school pride. Game like this?

She'd throw things, wander, and started hoarding. Mom's Alzheimer's was already so hard.

But then we found out she had something called agitation that may happen with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. And that was a different kind of difficult.
So we asked her doctor for more help.

Seeing symptoms like these in a loved one, it could be time to ask their doctor about Rexulti, Rexpiprazole 2 milligrams, the only FDA-approved treatment proven to reduce the symptoms of this condition.

Rexulte should not be used as an as-needed treatment.

Elderly people with dementia-related psychosis have increased risk of death or stroke, report fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, which can be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent.

High blood sugar can lead to coma or death. Weight gain, increased cholesterol, unusual urges, dizziness on standing, falls, seizures, trouble swallowing, or sleepiness may occur.

I'm glad her doctor recommended Rick Sulti. Talk to your loved ones, doctor.
