You probably think of Michelin as a tire company, and I mean, it is, but it's really an innovation company, and that's why their tires are as good as they are.
It started in the 1800s making brake pads for horse-drawn carriages.
Later, Michelin basically invented the modern tire with the first steel belted design.
That innovation has never slowed.
In fact, it's only accelerated.
See what I did there?
These days, through its Michelin in motion vision, the company is expanding into healthcare, energy, and even aerospace.
Seriously.
For instance, They're developing an airless wheel for lunar exploration.
It's got to deal with vast temperature swings, radiation, and the rough terrain on the moon, and maybe one day on Mars.
I mean, this is more than just some sort of vanity project.
It showcases Michelin's broader shift from tire manufacturing to high-tech, durable mobility solutions.
It's about the same exact thing that led to those horse-drawn carriage brake pads well over a hundred years ago.
It's about innovation.

Don't get into it.
Russell Wilson, he clapped back at his former coach, John Payton, after post-game comments praising Jackson Dart.
Yeah, let's take a listen to what Payton had to say.
You know, they found a little spark with that quarterback.
I was talking to John Maron not too long ago, and I said we were hoping that that change would have happened long after our game.
russ tweeted back classless but not surprised didn't realize you're still bounty honey bounty hunting 15 plus years uh through the media let's ride
now sean payton later resp uh responded today that he was just talking about you know he was praising jackson dart now he mentioned that he had talked to John Mara several weeks earlier before they even played, before they had even made this switch.
God, y'all know I'm Bronco through and through, like Sean Payton.
I know Sean Payton.
We had a very, very close mutual friend, Mike Ornstein.
Mike Ornstein passed away.
Rest in peace.
Yes, I know Sean very well.
No, you didn't have to.
Everybody knows how you feel.
Yeah.
About Russ.
Yeah.
Russ probably feel the same way, but would never say anything.
I'm a little surprised Russ even responded to this.
I like it.
Ocho, but here's the thing.
You're going to only be able to take so much.
Absolutely.
Because what you see is just like they keep going and keep going and keep going.
And then they'll be like, oh, you weak.
You weak.
So Russ responded.
I don't have a problem with Russ saying, but
come on now.
Ocho,
are you surprised Russ responded?
And
are you surprised this thing has really taken, uh, got legs and kind of like started running on its own?
I like the fact that it has legs.
I like the fact that it has legs.
Sean Payton, he already tried Russ on the sideline.
He tried Russ on the sideline, berating him and talking trash to him, actually provoking Russ, hoping he would break character, hoping he would show a different side than who he actually is.
He kept calm, mild mannered.
Now he takes shots at him again yeah for no reason at all and i love russell choir boy wilson but i love the fact that he stood he stood up for himself russell wilson matthew 5 39 in the bible it says turn the other cheek well this time russ say he i done ran out of cheeks i'm finna clap back i'm finna fire back at you i'm gonna stand up for myself and i like him showing some some enthusiasm and and and and getting in the fire for a change instead of just
let it be watered off a duck's back.
Man, talk your shit, Russ.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Guess what?
What?
Ain't no person named Shannon in the Bible.
I ain't in there.
You keep talking back, taking your cheap shots at me.
I'm going to put something on you.
Come on, now.
Talk your shit.
Talk what Russ did.
Remember, Ocho.
Come on, Russ.
At some point in time, enough has to be enough.
You made your point.
You didn't want me.
You moved on.
You have a quarterback in Bo Knicks that seems to be that he's the guy for the Broncos' future.
I've gone this two.
This is my second team since I've left the Broncos.
I ain't bothering nobody.
Russ, you can like or dislike Russ, but the one thing that you can't say that he's not bothering anybody.
He's not talking down.
He's not saying anything negative about anybody.
So my thing is, why?
Hey, let me say, Uncle Joe, Russell Wilson, if you want to talk about quarterbacks and the way to conduct yourself as a professional athlete on and off the field, he's a consummate pro.
He is the ultimate pro when it comes to doing your job, going to work, being a family man, being a husband, doing everything the right way.
The fact that he finally got outside of his character for a change is exciting for me.
I like it.
I enjoy it because now, listen, at some point,
you got to put a nail in the coffin because if you don't put a nail in the coffin, they're going to keep digging your grave.
I agree.
They're going to keep on digging your grave and keep digging at you for no reason.
There's no reason for, and I know Sean Payton as well.
There's no reason for you to do that, but you understood.
Listen, I got to sit in duck.
I got an easy duck.
He ain't going to say nothing.
He ain't going to fire back.
But finally, we get a new Russell Wilson.
I love this.
I love this Russell Wilson.
And Russell, I know you're going to see this.
Anybody else say something?
You better fire off of their ass too.
Go ahead, Joe.
Hey, I agree with both of y'all.
I think, you know, I think Russ is more so like, you know, enough is enough, man.
He ain't said nothing.
He's been going about his way, you know, tending to his business and they still taking cheap shots at him.
I'm with him, man.
I'm glad he responded.
I'm glad he said something.
Be petty, Betty.
Go back at him.
It doesn't matter how mild-mannered a person is.
Eventually,
eventually, you look at, I mean, you look at any animal.
It might be even, even the dog might, you see, but after a while, he's going to lash out at you.
It's going to lash out because it's only going to take so much.
So he, Russ felt that, okay, former teammates have been taking shots at him, you know, X, Y, and Z and said all these things.
And now he's like, bro, how much, how much more, how much more crap do y'all want to dump on me and say, man, y'all just pouring perfume on me?
Because at some point in time, Ocho, enough is enough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You made your point.
Okay.
Okay, I'm fine.
I get it.
I get it.
I didn't live up to the the expectations that I had, the coaching staff, the organization, or the fan base of Denver.
I didn't meet those expectations.
I accept that, but I'm gone.
There's no need.
There's no reason for you to mention you can praise Jackson Dart
without taking a dump on me.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Hey, look.
Praise your guy.
But why would you tap to take a shot at me?
And you, like I said, he said that he was just afraid to Jackson Dart, but you said that you had talked to John Mara, who's one half of the owner of the Giants weeks ago.
Even if he had done that, he could have kept that to himself.
He didn't have to share that.
Well, he didn't have to share that, Ocho.
He could have just said what he said, like, you know, and maybe with his coaching staff or with his close buddies when he's having a drink.
I told John, I was like, man, I hope y'all make that change after us because it's just a matter of time right cool and nobody the way jackson dart is playing i don't think anybody's upset that they made this move i told ocho i said oh ocho over under eight weeks i said i'm looking like i'm taking the under oh just said now i said i'm taking the under yeah because i had seen enough in i seen enough in the preseason i said oh cho they gonna make this this make this change sooner than later yeah yeah but i i just don't i don't i don't you know this the continuation of beating down Russ is
unnecessary.
And what does that mean?
I know you're excited.
Oh, Joe, you know, we win a game, Ocho.
We win a game.
Yeah, we beat them sorry.
Yeah, we beat them sorry, Raffles.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But we thought y'all had us getting 33 in the fourth.
33.
I get all that.
But come on now.
Winners enough enough, Ocho.
How much am I supposed to take?
I like it.
Hey, matter of fact, he should have cursed in the tweet.
He should have cursed.
Go go all the way there.
It wasn't enough for you.
Nah, listen, I like it.
He, listen, he fired back, but he fired back in a professional manner.
Absolutely.
Man, come on, man.
Hey, Russ, next time, man, man, man, what?
Let me put the tweet together.
I'll put the tweet together for you.
Hell, dog.
Hey, listen.
But what was it about?
Why was Sean Payton bring that up?
Honestly, like, what did that have to do with anything?
Listen,
this is all about the the privileges that was bestowed upon Russ before Sean Payton got there.
I said some things and everybody called me a lie.
I was talking, me and Ocho and I was having a conversation and everybody wanted to tell me, Shannon, you don't know what's going on because you're not there.
I say, you do realize I'm still held in very, very high regard in Denver.
You actually think I would say something like this?
And it not be the gospel?
I say, hey, I'm Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
When I speak about something coming out of Denver or Baltimore, it's the gospel.
I don't really talk too much about it because y'all, they know, but they try to undermine me and try to say, you're not in the locker room or you don't know what I'm talking about.
But y'all don't realize how often I call around the league.
And a lot of things that's going on that's get reported, that ain't my job.
I ain't Adam Schefter.
I don't try to be.
I'm not Jake Lazer.
I don't try to be.
But I know a lot more than what I say.
And when it comes out, like,
they got mad.
I said it.
Sean got there.
When they were explaining the privileges that Russ got,
Sean, like, are you hitting me?
Are you kidding me?
It's like, no, you're like, we thought that he's like, no, that is not normal protocol.
Nobody in the history had ever had a situation like that.
And from that point on, once he heard that, it was over.
He would have needed to throw for 50 touchdowns, 4,000 yards, and get him to the AFC championship.
Other than that, it wasn't going to work.
So instead of trying to listen to what I was trying to say, try to explain what was transpiring and why so many people were out on Russ in Denver.
They wanted to talk about, oh, you're talking bad about a black man.
You wouldn't say that about a white guy.
When I had called Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and Tony Romo and Aaron Rodgers and all these other quarterbacks.
But see, long as I'm talking about them, it's fine.
All I was saying, I didn't say Russ was a bad person.
I said he got privileges.
And it made his teammates feel a certain type of way.
Sort of
itself.
Ocho, we know who makes the money.
Yeah.
But just because you make more money, we don't want you getting privileges.
We don't want you having offices that none of us, like, hold on, really?
Yeah.
So from that point on, Sean felt some type of way.
He felt some type of of way.
And I get it.
I get it.
But that man has been gone for two years now.
It's time to let that go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Joe,
you know what it is?
What's that?
It's the same thing with Mello and George Carl.
George Carl keeps on poking Mellow.
Mellow don't mention George Carl, but every chance he gets, he tries to poke Mello.
Mellow's going to have to, look,
Mellow's going to have to draw a line in the sand and say, Mofo, if you step across this line again,
I'm going to have to unleash.
You know, he ain't got no problem doing that.
You know, Mello ain't got no problem drawing that line.
He's going to have to, because
every time he's always speaking negative.
Oh, they couldn't win no championship with that guy.
He wouldn't play defense.
He wouldn't do this.
I get it.
You don't like Mellow.
Everybody is not going to like everybody.
But, bro, you hadn't coached Mello in damn near two decades.
What is the issue now?
Can we just move on?
I mean, obviously at that point, it'd be better if coaches come out, especially when they continue to do this and they have things to say years removed from dealing or coaching a certain individual.
Why don't you just come out and say, you know what, I don't even like this individual.
And it's personal.
It had nothing to do with the sport.
It had nothing to do with basketball.
It had nothing to do with football.
Nothing to do with him playing quarterback or whatever it may be.
I just don't like him.
And that's okay.
It would be better suited for us as a public and fans of these sports to come out and have Sean Pay say, you know what?
I just don't like Russell Wilson.
I don't know what it is about him.
I just don't like him.
Or George Carl, you know what?
I don't like Carmelo.
Whatever it may be.
What's understood don't need to be spoken.
Yeah.
You know.
Yeah.
Man, I don't, I don't.
Well, if say
if somebody continues to cheating on the other party,
what does he need to say?
What does she need to say?
You keep doing what you're doing when you know it's wrong.
Yes.
I don't need, I don't need no
Harvard attorney to try to read between the lines.
Yes, sir.
You're telling me the mere fact that you keep taking shots at me publicly is one thing if it's getting back to me, Ocho.
But the mere fact that you're putting it in print, the mere fact that you keep saying it publicly, I can read it for myself.
I can see it for myself tells me that how you feel about me.
But I didn't, I already knew that.
I'm like, I've been trying to take the high road, try to remain, remain professional.
I'm trying to build a brand.
I don't want to do anything to tarnish that, but hey, bro, I understand.
That's not what you are.
You don't try to build a brand.
You're not really on television.
People go to you when
they want to get clicks, they want to get a rage bait material.
They'll come to you and you'll say something.
Mellow is one of the 75 greatest players to ever play in the NBA.
We understand what Mello is.
Now he's a Hall of Famer.
So automatically, if somebody says something negative,
that's going to get picked up.
That is Mellow.
That's his former coach.
I just don't get it.
We don't have to like all of our teammates.
We don't have to like all of our coaches.
I had a great relationship with
all the coaches.
Maybe one or two I didn't really drive with.
It's okay, but I would never say anything publicly.
Absolutely.
Hey, look, you're a teammate.
It's only so much, bro.
It's only so much.
Yeah, bro.
Bro, I'm 57 i got grands now but i'm what i'm talking about what happened 25 30 years ago
yeah what what purpose does that serve in a negative light yes yeah none at all none at all i mean listen i i get along with everybody i i'd assume i try to i i'd assume everybody loves me the same way i show love there's only one person i don't get along with and uh if if i ever see him it's it's on site and um
huh
What'd you say, Joe?
Who is that?
You don't want to say?
You don't want to say?
Oh, James Harrison.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, it's personal.
It's personal.
And I say it every day.
And I let him know.
I can't wait to see him.
Obviously, he doesn't live here in Miami, but the only place I probably see him on, what, maybe Super Bowl?
Yeah.
I'm sure we'll probably cross paths.
Maybe,
you know, Radio Road or some shit like that.
And either he's going to have security or it's just going to be a thumping session.
Oh, Joe, I don't know if you want to climb that tree, man.
Hey, one thing, one thing about me.
Hey, hey, let me tell you something.
Hey, Joe, in high school, they called me Paul Bunyan.
You hear me?
I used to, hey, I'm chopping every
down.
Hey, all the trees.
Hey, hey, hey, as your player partner, man, I'm trying to listen.
You might want your pass on that one, bro.
Hey, hey, hey, Joe, brush up on your NFL knowledge.
What you want to know?
I seen.
No, I'm just saying, because I might need a new partner.
Okay, okay, say less.
Say less.
Say less.

Hey, hey, hey, listen, the king bed costs so goddamn much.
I just got, I got the cheapest one.
And then you know how much a mattress is?
Yeah.
And this is.
Ocho, you don't have to buy no mattress.
You don't have to buy no mattress, but once every 10 years.
Yeah.
They made apostrapedic mattress, man, with like $4,000 for a king bed.
I was like, oh, that's cool.
Give me the twin.
I got one of the mattresses, Ocho, that read it.
It'll tell you how long you slept, how long you was in a deep sleep, how long you was in a rim.
If your bed get hot, it'll cool it down for you.
You make adjustments.
You got one of the memory phones.
You got one of the memory phones over there.

You snore 50% less than normal.
Yeah, yeah.
It'll tell you what time you fell asleep.
I have a question.
Even if that bed has all those features and has all those amenities that it comes with, I'm sure it costs a pretty penny.
What are you going to do with that information?
$5,900.
That's how much the bed costs.
$5,900.
That's a whole lot.
What you mean, Ocho, what you mean?
What I'm going to do with that information, it'll tell me.
Guess what?
It says your best time to work out is between the hours of one and five.
You don't take it in the morning.
Your body will tell you that.
Your body is going to be.
That's what it's telling me.
It's the same reason they put all that stuff in your shoulder pads and they track everything that you do at practice now.
Right.
You dehydrated.
You need the more hydrated.
See?
The more information you have.
Hey, you want to tell you?
You want me to tell you why they track everything now?
Because they understand.
See, their pros and their cons of that, and them tracking everything.
They understand when you get to a certain amount of mileage.
Yeah, this car, he ain't no more good.
That's all it is.
Well, that man, he's tracking that upstairs.
Yeah,
they try to make it seem like it's a good thing, but they're tracking all this stuff where his speed ain't what it used to be.
Yeah, we might need to watch him.
It's about we might want to get rid of him and get some good for well, they get they put it in your pads, Ocho, huh they putting that in your shoulder pads yeah i'm and and the catapult you know the catapult thing yeah yeah man that's

So it might start at 72 and it'll say, you know, we made 34 adjustments last night to your bed.
Be it my feet, be it my back, be it if I'm on my side, be it if I'm laying on my stomach.
It doesn't matter.
It'll automatically adjust.

Well, you're good.

Oh, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, I was up to a Joe.
It was three.

I wasn't tripping on.
I was feeling good too because I took a nap early in the day.
Yeah.
I took a nap early.
No, I can say, I had to cut them naps out because you can't sleep at night.
I can't sleep at night.
Hey, see, that's perfect.
You see, this is why I'm trying to get you a partner now.
It's perfect right there.

Yeah, we back.
We back.
You ain't probably watching.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.

i'll get you i'm picking out i'm picking up what you're putting down i got you yeah you see what i'm saying joe joe we know it yes you feel me now it's time oh joe it's time to come on it's time to come on yeah yeah come on it's about that time hey
we not we not getting no younger no
hey joe i tried to explain to unk i say the older we get
The older we get,
the chances of getting what we want, it becomes slim.
Because what's available out there right now, don't nobody else want.
Because that's why it's available.
You hear me?
You get to a certain age, you know.
Hey, you get what you can, not what you want to.
Hey, the pickings are slim now.
Hey, it's a tough time to be dating now, boy.
Hey, what?
Hey, boy,
I waved my white flag a long time ago.
I remember back.
Hey, we always, hey, we got back to school closed.
It was like a week before school.
Everything done been picked over.
hey it wasn't no early we
get the last two weeks everything done been picked over everybody else that tried the jeans on or tried the shirt on that had their feet in the shoe
that's where they came up because i remember when i was coming up joe people be trying the shoes on just their barefoot yeah you ain't have no socks you know they they just started
you laughing oh joe i ain't lying they they they you people had their bra like damn hey let me let me get them what he just had.
But that was back in the day.
So, but I'm going to, hey, it's time to come on in, Ocho.
It's time to come on home.
Man.
It just, it is what it is.
And
I'm at fault too.
I'm at fault too.
Yeah, for sure.
As I've gotten older, I've tried.
I struck out, huh?
I've tried.
I've tried.
I've struck out.
But, you know,
I'm back at the plate.
That's the one thing I love about baseball is at some point,
as much as you strike out, you're going to get your opportunity to be at the plate again.
And right now, boy, Uncle, I'm about to hit a home run.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what my problem was, Ocho?
Call me
Vigaro.
Joey Otani.
No, not Otani.
What's up?
Aaron Judge?
No, play for the Blue Jays.
Oh, Vlad Guerrero Jr.
I'm Guerrero Jr.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, man.
It's a the thing was, you know, my problem was, Ocho, talk to me.
Looking for perfection.
Ooh, take your time.
It ain't out.
One, was she the perfect height?
She was the perfect complexion.
Come on now.
She had the perfect build.
She had the perfect.
Uh-huh.
Bro, you're not going to find all that
in one.
You just listen.
I've come to the realization.
Uh-huh.
I've got to find a woman that have enough of the qualities that I'm looking for that I'm willing to overlook the ones that she don't have.
It took me 57 years to realize that there is no such thing as perfection, although we constantly try to achieve it.
Talk to them.
So now I'm like, okay, that's enough.
You're enough.
You're tall enough.
You fine enough.
The complexion is enough.
Everything is enough.
Come on now.
And it took me a while to realize that because I'm like, I'm trying to be perfect.
Hell, I want the perfect person.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why I ate the way I ate.
That's why I trained because I was trying to be perfect.
Shannon.
And my sister just say, Shannon, you realize you're not going to be perfect, right?
You realize you, you flawed.
You are flawed.
I don't know why.
We all are.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm like, listen.
I would love to be a therapist.
I would love to be a counselor
for my sisters because they have expectations.
and I love I love people having expectations and and and having wants and needs and wanting requirements for people that they date to meet those qualifications
what y'all laughing at I'm listening bro yeah but here's the thing though Ocho yeah but but but say with me quick on I want to hear this one what are the chances if you if you ask a woman Joe if you ask a woman what is she looking for in a man you feel me and she'll run down a list of all the qualities and all the requirements that
she wants.
And it's almost a build-a-bear.
It's not real.
The expectations aren't realistic.
So everyone is looking for this, this,
not imaginary, but you'll meet a guy that'll meet half of what you want.
And oh, you know what?
Nah, he ain't no good.
No, he, he,
where he works at Sears.
Oh, he works at Macy's.
I can't do nothing with that.
Oh, Joe.
Yeah.
The easiest thing you'll do
is to get with a person.
Getting with is the easy part.
Staying is what's hard.
Man.
Basketball came easy to Joe.
Football came easy to you and I.
But guess what we had to do?
We had to practice.
We had to study.
We had to lift weights.
We had to train.
All that goes towards work.
Working.
You see, everybody gets to the relationship and then that's it.
You've got to work every single day
because the person that you met yesterday is not the person today.
The person that you go to bed with tonight, gonna wake up.
And so now, instead of finding a reason to break up, can I find a reason to stay?
In the words of Earth Winning Five, can I find a reason?
Just one, can I find one reason to stay?
The reasons.
The reason that we.
Love games been played.
All of our reasons were the.
Come on now.
Take your time.
Right.
so now
it took me a while because i i ocho man you age
damn
damn
nah
shanna
because at the end of the day the way she look today she ain't gonna look like that 10 years from now
from 20 years from now and that and that that booty that's up on her shoulders yeah it's gonna be down by knees and you're gonna need to pick it up and walk with her and walk behind her the camera because you know what is she walking in a silhouette that you can see.
Now, when she gets about 55, 60, it's going to be dragging in the sand on the beach.
You're going to know what she was.
Hey, what my girl?
Okay, I see a trail.
You know what I'm saying?
And
you got to accept that, Ocho.
Yeah.
Because I really, you know what?
I walked by the mirror the other day and I was like, damn.
I ain't the same guy no more, Ocho.
Hold on, you lost it?
Ocho, I'm telling you i used to i used to hey i used to compete in a booth from 25 feet away
that's how you was oh cho hey i ain't that no more what happened hey you say you ain't got it like you used to i ain't got it like i used to i'm like well damn
i'm like i you know i i'm not terrible right
but I'm looking at how I once was.
Right.
And so if I were, if women were to judge me by what i used to be as opposed to what i currently am right i ain't gonna get nobody
i know i used to hey i walked around at two i walked around at 235 with five percent body fat okay three percent four percent body fat for years right
we and so i was like you know what i need to give people grace like i'm asking people to give me grace Hey,
hold on, what you saying?
You fat now?
Nah, he's no, I ain't fat.
Oh, no, ain't by no stretch of the imagination.
Okay, okay.
Hey, hey, I'm saying his bounce back ain't like it used to be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, his bounce back ain't, yeah, yeah, oh Joe,
damn, I'm just saying the baby arm ain't what it used to be.
That's all I'm saying, oh, Joe, that's all.
All right, but that's it.
We ain't going no further.
26, 26.
I'm going to be back.
Chat, stay with me till 26.
My bad, Thetos.
My bad, Thetos.
Yeah.
But
you just, you have to come to the realization, man.
And I've come to the realization that, hey,
I'm,
it is what it is.
Hey, I ain't, I ain't 27.
I ain't 37.
Hey,
just got to keep kicking.
Hey, hey,

Well, we back.
We all, we all the way back.

No, no, no, no.
We all went back, but you better believe 26 is going to be all the cracking.

You probably think of Michelin as a tire company, and I mean, it is, but it's really really an innovation company, and that's why their tires are as good as they are.
It started in the 1800s making brake pads for horse-drawn carriages.
Later, Michelin basically invented the modern tire with the first steel-belted design.
That innovation has never slowed.
In fact, it's only accelerated.
See what I did there?
These days, through its Michelin in motion vision, the company is expanding into healthcare, energy, and even aerospace.
Seriously.
For instance, they're developing an an airless wheel for lunar exploration.
It's got to deal with vast temperature swings, radiation, and the rough terrain on the moon, and maybe one day on Mars.
I mean, this is more than just some sort of vanity project.
It showcases Michelin's broader shift from tire manufacturing to high-tech, durable mobility solutions.
It's about the same exact thing that led to those horse-drawn carriage brake pads well over a hundred years ago.
It's about innovation.

This week, on a very special episode of Health Discovered, we're taking a closer look at a condition that affects hundreds of thousands of men each year, prostate cancer.
I first found out about my cancer on my birthday at the age of 45.
Found out my cancer has spread to my pelvic bone.
And from there, life just changed.
About one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime and the risk increases with age.
Anything with cancer you just think death sentence and the only thing I could think about was who's gonna take care of my family.
You have to go out there and build your support system.
You gotta build your team.
In this episode, we'll explore the science behind detection along with the practical steps men can take to protect their health.

You say somebody, everybody going through something, son.
Yeah,
come on now.
Boy.
And when you in that storm, when you in the eye of the storm, the eye of the storm dropped down in New Orleans, Katrina.
That was the eye.
Yeah.
Boy, you don't think, you don't know if it's ever,
ever.
Like, when is this going to be over?
How much longer?
Man, hello.
Where do I go?
When does it end?
What the?
Yeah.
Hey.
But I,
the iron storm could be i ojo i read a quote many many years ago
it said a lesson that's not learned in blood is destined to be repeated
i had a conversation with my brother probably about two months ago
and he called me
And I said, well, you know, he obviously he knew what was going on because I called him and told him or heard a time.
And then something else came out.
And then something else came out.
And then something else came out.
And then ESPN came out.
He said, Shannon,
there's a lesson in here somewhere.
For you to be going through what you're going through, there is a lesson.
It's on you to figure it out.
Yeah.
I said, man, I sure wish I would.
He said, you know what?
He said, no.
that's not the that's not the plan he said if you knew what it was you would circumvent the lesson Right.
He said, no, but you'll figure it out.
He said, you'll figure it out.
And
people, when y'all see me, I don't,
I don't want y'all to have the wrong impression,
but I'm just very guarded now.
I'm very, very guarded.
I was always on alert.
But I'm on high alert
because I really don't know who I can really trust.
Because what I've seen over the, over the over the last six months, there are very few people that you can actually trust.
Yeah.
Come on, man.
Yeah.
Very, very, very few.
And there are, there are people that said some things and it's gotten back to me.
But I was like, wow.
And you had this conversation, Ocho, about being down and then people feel like they can pile on.
Yeah.
But.
I'm just very,
I'm, I'm very matter of fact.
I'm very, hey, how you doing?
It's nice to meet you.
And I'm going about,
I'm on my way.
Yeah.
I'm on my way because I don't, I don't want people.
Yeah, I had a conversation and Jeff, because if you stay too long,
Ocho, the more people,
and this is what I had to learn.
And somebody told me this.
They say, Shanna, the more people you become involved with, the more stories there is to be told.
Circle got to be crazy small.
The more people you're involved with, Shanna, the more stories there are to be told.
Okay.
I like that.
I didn't know
what was going to happen.
I appreciate you, Ocho, because you're like, hey, when you text me, Uncle, I'm with you.
Yeah.
Whatever we got to go through, we going through it.
You ain't by yourself.
To the wheels fall the fuck off.
Shit, you gave me the opportunity.
There are so many people, OJo and joe where i'm going that used to call that used to text yeah i ain't heard from them since this happened
but that's all right though
that's all right though man please yeah keep it moving baby
maybe this is what i don't wish this on anybody
but what it did do
is it really showed me who's really, really there.
Right.
There are a lot of people on the
peripherial when things were going well.
We were at the apex and
getting invited to everything.
Yeah.
I'm talking about ain't called.
Ain't called.
And I'm talking about we were talking once a month, twice a month.
Right.
Are we going to come back?
But I see.
Yeah.
And you you know what?
I think about too, Uncle Joe.
You had to think about, you know, Uncle, what you had to go through.
You know, I've been in the Iodass storm too now.
Big time in front of the world.
Yeah.
So I had to take my licks.
I had to, I had to take it.
You got it.
And I had, hey, Joe, what them calls stop.
Ain't hurting nobody.
My circle was always small.
So my same, my same circle was right there, you know, to lift me up, but I already knew I was going to sit for a minute.
Yeah.
For a long time, Joe, I had a, it was quiet up for maybe six years.
Yeah.
Well, you know how long
six years is?
Hell yeah.
Nothing coming, no, nothing.
You just, I'm, I'm,
and then here we go.
You give me an opportunity, you know, while everything is
back going, motion, and going, it's going good.
Yeah.
And then
you think I had a nerve to jump ship just because you going through what I had to go through years ago.
What the fuck am I going?
I know it.
I know what it's like.
Yeah.
And I'm looking at the chat.
Everybody say Stephen A.
No, I will say this.
Stephen A has called me and been there every step of the way.
I will say that.
I will say Stephen A have reached out.
He's called, asked me anything.
Juvie, he's like, man, Juvie just wanted to say, hey,
that's his boy.
He just wanted to say, hey, you good?
Hey,
you good?
I'm good.
I'm good.
Look, I know a lot of people say a lot of things about Stephen A.
All I can attest to is the way Stephen A is with Shannon.
And he's been great because when I went through what I was going through at Fox, he was there.
When I was going through this, he was calling anything I can do.
What can I do?
I won't get into private conversations that we have because that's between he and I.
Right.
But there are a lot of other people, a lot.
Well, I shouldn't say a lot, a lot of the parcel of land.
There were a few,
quite a few.
But you know what?
I was,
I've been down before.
This public lashing and ridicule and scorn and humiliation.
Been down.
Thank you, lumps.
But
it took me a while to realize, like, hold on.
You call the people that you're closest to,
brother, mom, sister, kids, best friend, Bucket, Burns.
You explain to them what
they say, bro.
We good
once I got once I got to that.
Oh, Joe, you and I talked about this.
The man, look, it is what it is.
I'm gonna be all right.
I ain't, hey, I didn't even want to hear it.
We good.
Sunshine follows rain.
What, what, what time?
What time the next show?
Hey, Joe, that's all I want to know.
What time is the next show?
That is exactly what he said.
He did,
I know what that's like.
Okay, okay, uh,
yeah, we will get back to that, but our very, very special guest is joining us, Cleveland Browns rookie sensation running back, Quinshawn Judkins joins us.
Q, what's going on, bro?
What's up?
up?
What's up?
What's up?
How are you doing?
Nah, he good.
He good.
Now, what's up?
You're housing that thing this week.
Well, you've been housing it since you got back, but you was really housing that thing.
Hey, house call.
I had to.
Yeah.
How you feeling?
How's your experience so far in the NFL been?
Has it been everything you expected it to be as opposed to, you know, the transition from college to?
Oh, yeah, most definitely.
I feel like it's been more so surreal, not only for myself, but for my family to get to experience everything, you know, get to meet a lot of the players.
And that whole nine yards, man, just getting to finally touch down, you know, been through, going through so much,
a slow start to the beginning of the season, and shoot, just everything taking off when I landed.
Man, that's what's up.
You from Ohio State?
I'm from Alabama.
I'm from Montgomery.
Oh, you from?
Oh, man.
How did that you get out of?
How did you get out of?
How did you get way to Ohio State from Bama?
NIL.
That's the way to keep it stacked.
Seriously.
Oh, man.
I think for myself, just in college, man, I ended up going to Old Miss for two years.
I played there in the SEC.
Had a lot of success.
And then my last year of college, for my junior year, I was like, man, I want to go somewhere I can compete for a national championship.
So I ended up at Ohio State.
I felt like that was a great situation.
Coach Day was a great tight program, a lot of talented players there.
So I was like, you know, it's no better place to go than Ohio State.
So I ended up there.
Hey, Q, tell me something.
You were SEC
freshman of the year, right?
I was like
nominee for it or something like that.
But yeah, I think I was a freshman of the year.
I can't even remember.
So you left the SEC to go to Ohio State, huh?
Yep.
Hey, that bag different, ain't it, man?
For me, it wasn't about that, though.
You know, like for many different people, like in the game, it's about the money, the car, different for me.
It was like in the day, bro.
I'm a competitor.
I'm trying to go out and you know, kill it.
Like, I'm trying to go out and you know, win games as much as possible.
Because at O Miss, I was putting up 1500 yards.
I'm getting 15 touchdowns a year.
So, I'm like, man,
no, I'm doing all that, but that's not what fulfills me.
That's that don't make me happy.
So, that wasn't what I was chasing.
You wanted that title?
Hey, Q, Q.
Hey, don't give me that political.
Nah, For real, not for real.
Come on, hey, it's your boy.
Come on, don't, don't, don't do me like that.
For real, hey, okay, okay, okay,
let me let you have it.
Hey, one thing, I want to talk about
the Caitlin Browns, and I want, I want to, from the outside, looking,
I don't think you quite understand.
Obviously, you, you in position, but me on the outside looking in, because
there's been controversy at the quarterback position, do you understand that you are the bail cow, cow that you are the offense that offense goes as you go most of the times it's a star player a star quarterback or a star receiver but you are the nucleus of that offense and as you go the rest of the team goes do you do you quite understand that just yet i think
just because it's so early on in my career i quite don't get it yet but at the same time
i understand like the situation like in coach the fansky's his offense and if you go back to nick chubb and kareem hunt and different guys playing in this offense it's always been able to to lean on the run game and i think that's what's very beneficial about playing this offense um
so i think you know just with my mindset man like my mentality regardless of who we playing that week um what plays we're installing just had that same determination bro to just go out there and like just leave it all out on the field but knowing the particular like
situation, like, yeah, for sure.
Knowing that this is a run-first offense, I'm already going.
Yeah, you're in the West Coast system.
In the West Coast system, that's all.
You put your foot in the dirt and you get downhill.
And then everything comes after that.
Because now we're going to boot, we're going to play action.
Yeah.
Because, look,
I played in this offense.
Now, a lot of it's maybe changed.
The wording of the verbiage has changed.
But you go back and look at the Broncos offense with TD and Clinton Portis and Mike Anderson and Ruben Drones.
And you look at the way the team run this offense, when you got a running back, when you got a guy, Kristen McCaffrey in San Francisco, Kyron Williams with the Rams, you look at Josh Jacobs with the Packers, when you look, when the run game is efficient, this offense is almost impossible.
Almost, almost, literally, because I feel like that's when we're in our best.
When we're clicking in the run game, like.
I feel like as a team, man, we're unstoppable.
And that's where
we continue to get better at and consistently try to go out there on Sundays and put it all together.
Because I feel like, like you said, man, that run game is what really helps us.
What was your expectations?
What was your goals when you came in?
You was dealing with what you did.
You was dealing with what you was dealing with that offseason.
I think you got uninvited to
the draft, but you was going through what you was going through.
You was like, okay, this is going to be behind me.
And I'm going to have to put
what this is.
I got to put that behind.
And I got to go somewhere.
And I got to perform at an elite level.
I got to play like I know I can play.
What were your expectations for
your rookie season?
I think for myself, it was more so a testament to
what I'm doing when nobody was looking.
Because when I wasn't in the building,
like.
I didn't have
a strength staff.
I didn't have a coach to talk to to go over plays.
I didn't have every resource that I had while I'm here in Cleveland now.
So it was like the amount of dedication that it took for me to give everything I had and try to perfect my craft when I wasn't around
and then come back and like it like it was nothing and try to get on that same page with no training camp,
no, no football for what, three months.
So
not having those things and just training, making sure I'm mentally sharp.
So when I get that call and I go back, I'm ready.
I think that was my things that I really harped the most.
Also, other than like physical activity was really just making sure, you know, like I'm mentally sharp just because you go through so much, man.
And a lot of people don't understand.
They'll never know what it's like, you know, especially being an athlete and the thing that we deal with.
But yeah, bro, just really just making sure I'm mentally there all the way sharp, 100%.
I love that, what you said, what you were doing when no one was watching, because discipline is doing what you should do versus what you want to do.
I'm sure you wanted to, hey, the boys kicking it.
They doing.
They pay.
Hey, let me go over here.
Let me part.
Let me kick it.
But the discipline, stay true because I got bigger issues.
You're the first Browns player with three rushing touchdowns in the game since Nick Chubb did it, September 18th, 2022.
You had 84 yards rushing, three touchdowns, and you're rookie of the week nominee.
When you see things like you've done, doing things that hadn't been done by a Browns player in three years you're doing you know being nominated for rookie of the year look we all want validation we put that kind of time in we put that kind of work in in the offseason and to see you plant a tree you want it to bear fruit yeah
you're bearing fruit yes
how pleasing how gratifying how satisfying is it for like okay everything that i did in the offseason everything that i went through
This is more gratifying.
It makes it even more like I know I was doing the right thing.
For me,
it more so.
Like I'm just one of those people where it's like, man, I'm just trying to chop wood.
I'm just trying to chop wood.
You know, what I'm doing is, that's cool.
But at the same time, like,
you know, I got bigger goals.
I know how I view myself as a competitor, how good I want to be.
So I don't really think about it, but at the same time, when I look up and knowing what I've been through, knowing like how I persevered, knowing what like different challenges I faced.
And then you see the light at the end of the tunnel, it motivates me personally to like, you know, keep going and
strive to be better.
So I think just that motivation you get from it and the hunger.
Hey, Q, man, as a rookie in the NFL, bro, living the American dream.
Tell me, tell me what it's like.
Because when I look back, when I was a rookie playing in the NBA, bro,
I couldn't sleep, man.
I couldn't sleep.
I was so geeked for the moment because I'm coming.
Because when I came in the NBA in 01, it's when Jordan came back you know t-mac cole vince card all them dudes was you know they was at the apex so i couldn't sleep nights before games because i was so geeked up for the moment i man i'm not playing so what is it like as a rookie living the american dream you probably been you know wishing for this moment since you was a kid and now that you're actually in it what is it like
Oh, man, I think for me, man, like just finally being here, this is something you think about your whole life.
Like, you worked your whole life for this like you worked since you was this big like to get to this to this moment so it's like you're finally here and but what I realized was it's like okay
it's not how fast you can get here it's how long you can stay so so so my thing is you know doing everything in my power to you know be able to go out there and do this have the same amount of success not only for this year but for a long time and keep that same discipline so that that's one thing i did learn i would say is that you know just having so many good vets too you got a lot of good vets in the locker room and you meet a lot of good players around the league too you develop a lot of relationships i think in college it's more so very
uh compared to the nfl i would say it's kind of individualized just because guys aren't in locker rooms as long as they are at different organizations in the league So I think in the league, man, you always have people that you can lean on, get advice from, because like coming into this, you know, a lot of stuff moves super fast so having somebody that you can ask different questions to so you're not just hit by the blind for real for real right
hey how's the body holding up good i feel i feel good you know i used to get i got a lot of carries when i was at old men so i used to get a lot of carries and then last year at ohio state i think i had like maybe 300 255 so i was used to being the bail cow guy you know right so i feel good though okay
how is the quarterback look he started out and you know you know gabriel gets drafted and shadur comes in and we know what shadure we know what that last name brings you got uh uh joe flacco and you got picket and they okay we're gonna move on we go in this direction and now has that the quarterback the situation with gabriel and shadur is he gonna get reps is he gonna start is he gonna play has that impacted the locker room in any way no i think
With our team, we also close and we got a lot of, we got so many young guys, man.
It's like in our locker room, we genuinely it's almost like you in college again it feels like for real for real like damn like locker room full of young guys but
Man, it's just like the energy there, regardless of who playing, those two guys, they always support each other, man.
Like, it was a clip I seen on the internet the other day, and it was like them walking down the sideline and just talking, laughing about, I think we had just scored a touchdown or something, but that's who they genuinely are.
That's who they truly are.
They are competitive, but at the same time, they want what's best for each other.
And I don't think it's ever been turmoil or any word said by anybody on our team like about who's the starting quarterback.
We all 100% support Dylan.
I even played him when I was at Ohio State twice.
I played him at Oregon once, and then I played him again in Pasadena, California at DeRose Bowl.
So I got to see him and how he is as a quarterback.
He's super talented, bro.
He's like super smart.
He processes really fast and he's a great player.
So I'm excited to see how he develop in his career.
That's amazing, man.
Q, thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for giving some time.
Congratulations on your early success.
Continue success.
Stay healthy.
And, you know, when it's all said and done, at the end of the year, you go over a thousand yards.
Come back and tell us how to do it.
Appreciate y'all.
Appreciate you, man.
All right.
Later.
Yo.
Hey, tell Denzel Ward, he can't stop me.
Hey, look, I be telling that practice,
he be getting mad.
I'd be like, bro, I've been that corner on your ass, boy.
I'm 220.
I still do it.
You feel me?
Yeah, I'm like that.
I'm going to hit him, though.
I'm going to let him know.
I appreciate that, man.
