Currently, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and is on on the rise in people under the age of 50.
But when caught at early stages, colon cancer is survivable in 90% of the people, so screening and early detection are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths. And a great one-of-a-kind way to feel more in control of your colon cancer screening is through the Cologuard test, a prescription-based test with none of the prep that's required for colonoscopy.
The Cologuard test is the only FDA-approved, non-invasive option that looks for both altered DNA and blood in your stool, which can indicate the presence of abnormal cells. This test offers convenience and ease of use, and the kit is delivered right to your door.
Once you complete the kit, it is returned to the lab and results are available within two weeks. Plus, it's affordable.
Most insured patients pay $0. And if you do need a colonoscopy, as a follow-up, most insurance plans cover that as well.
So if you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your health care provider about screening for colon cancer with the Cologuard test. You can can request a ColoGuard prescription today at coloGuard.com slash podcast.

The ColoGuard test is intended to screen adults 45 and older at average risk for colorectal

cancer.

Do not use the ColoGuard test if you've had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease

or certain hereditary syndromes or personal or family history of colorectal cancer.

The ColoGuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopy in high-risk patients.

Coligard test performs in adults age 45 to 49, it's estimated,

and based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older,

false positives and false negatives can occur.

Coligard is available by prescription only. Okay, joining us, we'll get back to this, Ocho.
Joining us right now is one of the funny men got his start on social media and here he is blowing up. Tony Baker.
Great comedian. Voice over.
Tony, what's going on, bro? What's up, y'all? Can y'all hear me and see me? Yeah, I can see you. I can see you.
Thanks for having me, y'all. Hey, boy, you got the light in there, right? I mean, it looks like you got a flip phone, but it's okay.
The light is right. I got the space shovel.
I got the beam me up, the helium joints, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, man. I can dim it if you need me.
Nah, you good, you good, you good, bro. How's everything? Everything good, though? Man, I ain't got no complaints, man.
I'm golden. I'm back on tour, so, you know, getting my pockets replenished.

Just bought a house.

There you go.

There you go.

Hey, listen, every morning, ask the man upstairs, man, to make sure that cup continue to run

it over.

You're going to be all right.

Come on, man.

I bought my first house, though.

I need every dollar.

Oh, did you?

I like that.

Yeah, man.

I just bought my first house, Southern California, so you know they're going to charge you $8 million for one and a half bedroom, zero bath.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Joe.

Tony, did you always want to be a comedian?

Were you a class clown?

Were you funny always?

When did you decide to say, you know what, I'm going to be a stand-up?

You know what, man?

I was always funny and didn't realize it because I'm the youngest of three boys. So I'm trying to crack jokes at the house, but my brothers would never laugh.
They gave me nothing, man. So I was going to school thinking I wasn't funny, so I'm making the kids laugh, but it didn't even register because I was like, man, I ain't funny at home though.
And then, you know when we young and we teens and we

in the girls, you don't want to be funny.

You trying to be all smooth and

cool. You know what I'm saying?

You got the Yodesty boots on. You just like,

yeah, girl. They'd be like,

you funny. I'd be like, no, no.

I ain't trying to be funny. You know what I'm saying?

And so, I

never really paid attention to my funny until I got to college. And then that's when it clicked.
Right. But you know women like guys that are funny.
But Tony, you know women like guys that are funny. One of the things that they say are sense of humor.
Yeah, I found that out later. I found that out later.
Let me ask you this. When did you get into the voiceover? Because that's kind of how I stumbled upon you.
You were doing voiceover, cats, dogs. I forget.
What's the? Scotty. Scotty.
Curtis and Scotty, man. Yeah, Curtis and Scotty.
How did you get into the voiceover? You know what it was? We always had pets growing up. So, you know, I never lived without an animal in the house somewhere until I went to college.
And so I was always wondering what they were thinking about, just looking at cats and dogs and like, what y'all thinking about? And so I did this, I did two videos. It was one of this goat in Brazil, just harassing the hell out of everybody, man.
Just cramming people on the motorcycle. Oh, Cramleton.
Cramleton, man. He just knocked this lady over.
He had grocery bags and this dude tried to save him. So that was the very first one I did.
And then I did the second one. This raccoon was eating out of a cat food dish and the cats was surrounding him, looking at him like he crazy, like, yo, man, who's the man right here? And he's looking at them and then he'd dip off and then come back for one last scoop and then he'd run off.
So, that's the one that went viral and stuff. I was like, let me just do these for real.
And I just kept doing them ever since. That's live.
Hey, you had a comedy special, Scaredy Cat. Yeah.
Can you walk us through the creative process and the prep you had behind the special and how everything came about? Okay, so I started doing stand-up in 2008. So really, my voice note was just a vehicle to get you to come to me live.
So I've been doing stand-up since then.

So, you know, I'm just doing,

when I started doing stand-up,

I'm doing everything I can get my hands on, man.

Every show, every competition,

every bringer show,

I'm just doing whatever.

And so I'm just accumulating all this material.

I'm getting up every night, dog.

I'm like doing multiple stages a night.

And so by the time I started Scaredy Cat, and I these cats and I still worked with Brennan and Tony at Transit Pictures. And they was like, yo, let us shoot you a special.
And I was like, all right. And so they put it together because they do dynamite work.
And so we went to New Mexico State. That's where I went to college.
And we shot the special there. Low budget, guerrilla style, independent.
Just shot that move. And then...
So that's like a year's worth of material that we just culminated right there. Started...
Who are your inspiration? When you grow up, when you're like, okay, take a little bit of this, take a little bit of that. Who are your who is your inspiration when you grow up when you like you're like okay take a little bit of this take a little bit of that who are your who are some of your inspirations in the comedic space well when I was growing up I'm 47 so you know Delirious was the first comedy special that just blew my head off what you know about that man come on man oh Delirious, anybody that knows that was around at that time, that special just blew everybody's head off.
And so that's when I first took in a comedy special for real. And then as time went on, you know, I was called Raw, but then I started watching like comedy and I was like, Damon Wayans, Sinbad, and Jerry Steinfeld are my three influences with a sprinkle of Bernie Mac.
Those are my influences right there. I feel like I'm a combination of those three that I mentioned.
My mom don't like a lot of cussing, so we can watch Sinbad together. That's what I was about to ask you because I don't hear a lot of cursing

in your comedy.

Yeah. I try to keep it PG-13 for the most part.
Like, I don't want to get too clean because I don't want to get stuck in that box. Right.
You know, so I try to keep it PG-13 so my mom won't cringe up. So, but yeah, Sinbad, Damon Wayans, the way he would just like storytell it through the character act outs and then the way Seinfeld just, just details every like little basic human experience that we have.
Talking about socks for like 15 minutes, talking about toothpaste, talking about cereal. I could do that type of stuff too.
So those are my three influences right there.

That's dope.

I don't think people understand how difficult stand-up comedy is.

I think they think people are funny.

You just stand on stage

in front of a crowd

and it just works.

Not understanding that

the material has to hit.

You have to engage with the crowd.

You have to have stage presence.

There's so many factors

and variables that go in

for a comedian to be able

to stand up in front of people,

have said material, remember said material, and the delivery to be on point. Yes.
So my question is, how different is your approach when it comes to doing stand-up versus the content you put on social media? Or do you just approach both the same way? Well, the way I write is, like, of a premise like i'll be like i'll be at the grocery store tonight and i'll be like man look at this lady right here and then next time i get on stage i'll be like man i was in whole foods to see this lady right here and so i i write it in real time like that i keep the premise in mind all right i going to say this. Then I start, I keep doing

it the more I go up and then I edit,

add in stuff, and do

it like that.

Because the way my mind works,

I'll forget it if I don't

write it down or do it right away.

That's my approach to

stand up. My voiceovers and

the content, it'd be in the moment,

man. When people

used to send me, before, I

I'm going to kill you. So that's my approach to like stand up.
My voiceovers and like the content, it'd be in the moment, man. Like when people, people used to send me before I kind of stopped doing voiceovers because Instagram keep pulling them off my page.
I want to get my page deleted. But people would send me videos all day long.
They still do. And so they'd be like, hey, man, hey, so man, this.
And so I'll look at the video maybe once, twice, and then I'll just think of the whole scenario. Like I got a voiceover where it's these two cats.
There's one outside the window and one inside. Yeah, yeah, hey, Curtis.
Yeah, yeah. I'll let you right quick.
Yeah. Because the one outside looks like he's been about their life.
He in the streets. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He want Curtis

to come out by

so they can give him

these gibbity-paps.

Really?

Yeah.

And so,

when I'm looking at that,

I'm like,

oh, I got the conversation

right here.

He's like,

hey, Curtis, man,

why don't you step outside?

Let me holler at you

real quick.

And then he disappeared

for a little bit.

He like,

oh, I'm hurt. I'm like, oh, I'm hurt.

Remember, he failed. Oh, I'm hurt.

I failed it, man. I failed it.

Then you come back, why you ain't

healed me, Curtis?

So he just told me that quick.

You freaking me out. You freaking me out, Scotty.

You freaking me out.

Yeah, man.

And I like production value, too.

So if I do a voiceover of a giraffe running from a lion I'll be outside running when I record it that way so you get the effect like it's like it's really like that's what's really happening yep like you can hear me running outside and be like oh man it's not like he's really running so some people appreciate those little nuances right yeah that's dope that's dope Tony give me a Mount Rushmore comedian. Okay.
I'm going to give you two of the ones I just named. I'm going to give you Stimbad.
This is my personal. I can give you a comedy Mount Rushmore or I can give you my personal.
I want yours. Who are your Mount Rushmore comedians? Tony Baker's Mount Rushmore.

Gotcha. Damon

Wayne. I feel like

his HBO specials are underrated.

We know Damon is the legend,

but I feel like his comedy

specials don't get talked about enough, man.

It's crazy.

So I'm going to give you Damon Wayne.

I'm going to give you Sinbad

as well. I feel like Sinbad don't get talked about enough to be that funny and that clean and that consistent is crazy.

And his crowd work is bananas.

So I got them two on there.

I'm going to give you...

Dang, man.

Because I want to throw Eddie on there, but he only got two specials.

But they might be a good one. Dang, man.

Because I want to throw Eddie on there, but he only got two specials.

But they was monumental, though.

Eddie Griffin?

Eddie Murphy.

Oh, Murphy.

Okay, okay. He only got two of those.

I'm going to be like, I'm going to slide him off.

I'm going to put him on the legendary Mount Rushmore.

But since he only got two, I'm going to slide him off.

And then I want to put George Carlin on there because, yeah.

I'm going to put him on the legendary Mount Rushmore but since he only got two I'm going to slide him off and then I want to put George Carlin on there because that's my boy George Carlin man I could listen to him all day and the way he breaks up down is just I got all his specials all got, you got, he, there are very few comedians that you go and see where you have to think. Yeah.
He makes you think. He forces you to think.
Yeah. And then not only that, not only thinking, you gonna walk away having lunch and stuff.
It's just like, no, yeah. Yes.
He's very socially conscious. Yes.
Married. He's very socially conscious.
He's gonna talk about things the real, the real life. Yes.
He's very socially conscious. He's very socially conscious.
He's going to talk about things in real life that you're dealing with and you're thinking like, damn, he put that in perspective. You know who I think one of the greatest storytellers, especially of this generation? Who that? Chappelle.
Oh yeah, for sure. Man, that Joker.
And he can take the way he can diffuse our audience and talk about things that you shouldn't be talking about. And before you know it, his SNL when he did SNL a couple years ago at Bank, it might have been the greatest monologue in Saturday Night Live history.
If you haven't seen it,

go back and look at his monologue.

You know what's dope about Spatel? The way his comedy

transformed. If you go back and look

at Killing Them Softly or Early Specials,

there was more rapid fires,

more jokes, but then he developed into

this monumental

storyteller where he's just like, listen, he's just like,

man, this dude bringing it all the way down to where the jokes sneak up on you now. It's like, yes.
It's like, I don't know if success made it more comfortable in his approach to where he could just be like, y'all gonna rock with me anyway so let me just sit down, smoke this cigarette. And take my time.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying? But his transition is just crazy. Patrice O'Neal is another dude that I feel like...
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Classic.
If he didn't pass away, oh, man. No telling where he would have went.
But what about Pryor? What do you think about Pryor? You know what I feel about Pryor? I would put him on the Mount Rushmore of the best comedians that ever exists

because when you look at

Def Comedy Jam,

it was 27, 35

Richard Pryor's on that thing.

He birthed so many

comedians that if you were

young and didn't catch Richard Pryor

and his pride, you would go back

and look at the Richard Pryor special and be like,

yo, this reminds me of Def Jam.

That's because they were born from

hell. So it's like, you know, his style of comedy is just essential to the whole game because it changed everything.
So I would put him right on the Mount Rushmore of, you know, the best comedians to ever do it. I think he's the most important comedian that ever exists.
You see a lot of these stand-up, and he was probably one of the first that did stand-up and transitioned to movies. And then you got Gene Wilder, and you got Murphy, and you got Kevin Hart.
You got a lot of these guys. Rock, Chris Rock.
You get a lot of these guys that started off as stand-up, and it seemed like, is that a natural transition to go from stand-up to going to the big screen? I feel like a lot of times, because what happened was with Richard and Eddie, you had that blueprint of like, all right, I'm going to do stand-up, and then I'm going to do movies like Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy. Cause that's, that's what happened to me.
Like I always wanted to act. And so I was like, yo, let me try stand up as a way to get exposure.
But then what happened to me was I fell in love with stand up as soon as I did it. So now when I get an acting role, I'd be like, cool, cool.
But I don't be like excited excited like developing like a dope set. Because, you know, when you act, so much other stuff is out of your control.
With stand-up, I control everything. You know what I'm saying? If I'm in a movie, I'm at the mercy of the casting director.
Then once I get past that, you know, I got to work with the director, the writers, the producers. They might edit my thing out.
So you never know. And then before stand-up, I'm in more control of everything.
Like, it's me. Right.
So as far as the transitions go, that was the move. It was like, it turned into the move where it was just like, alright, man, this stand-up comedian is so popular and so large.
Let's throw him in a movie or two, man, because he's funny and he might stand out. And then the next thing you know, you just got this wave of cats that, like, started on stage and then we're going to get him in movies and stuff like that.
Now, mind you, everything ain't going to click. Like, when they do get movies, they be tanking and you only get a few tanks before they be like, all right, man, look out.
But if you look at Bernie Mac, Bernie Mac is the only guy that you watch his mannerisms in the movie, that's just his mannerisms on stage. The way he did Blue, don't make me raise up, he's gonna be trouble.
You know what I'm saying? If you watch him in House Party, you watch him in Friday, his mannerisms on the screen is his mannerisms on stage. He was one of the few guys that when you watch him, you're like, he doing stand-up, he acting.
Yes. Yeah.
He was able to do that transition on his terms. Like, you know, we had already seen him.
If he was in the know, you already seen him at like House Party and like these movies before. Yeah.
The Real Comedians. comedians came out and a lot of people saw him doing stand-up for the first time they just like oh my god that's when he got his tv show and he got like higher profile gigs like ocean's 11 and stuff like that and so yeah it was like because every time he was there something before he was still in scenes all.
Everything he was in, he was still in the show every time. Right.
I know I knew you. I know I knew you.
They used to call you Jones. They used to call you Jones.
You know what I'm talking about. He was all the right.
House Party 3, man. I'm telling you, every time he showed up, for him to be able to stand out in life, that movie had a dope ensemble.
Oh, yeah. Oh, Jekyll and Laird, Jekyll and Laird.
Jekyll and Laird. And you go back and look at Harlem Nights, when they had the smorgasbord.
You had the OGs, you had Red Fox, you had Richard, you had Ernie, you had Ronaldo Ray Ronaldo Ray I mean you had all of them everybody and the same thing as life I don't know if we'll ever see another cast like what we had in life I like that it was great hey you know when you talk about cast right and movies that are classics based on the people that were casted. Life of Harlem

Night could be on. It don't matter

where you watch it or where you catch it on TV.

You're going to stop and watch it.

You're going to stop and watch it. And there's one more movie.

You stop and watch it. Absolutely.

There's one more movie where it was casted perfectly

and they would never be able

to replicate it. They tried, but

there was nothing close to it and that was Coming to America.

I knew you was going to stay there, man. Coming to America.
Man, Coming to America is like one of the best comedies ever made. Top to bottom.
You can't replicate it. They tried.
I'm not saying they failed, but it wasn't close. They failed.

I think, what's the guy you said past Robin Harris? You get all of those guys. That's the...
That's the cream of the crop. I don't know if we'll never get another...
I hate to say never, because never is always, but I don't know if we're going to ever get a cast like that again, Tony with a smorgasbord We could, like once we get like, you know, once we get a Dave Taffer together, Kevin Hart together like the Giants of now if we can get them in the right project, that's the thing though, like now we're oversaturated with movies and TV shows and stuff like that. So it's harder for us to get that classic because we're so oversaturated.
When Harlem Nights came out, that was a movement, man. I remember going to, I remember I was in Chicago.
It was Evergreen Plaza, opening weekend. That movie theater was packed.
And what I'm talking about, when them jokes was hidden, you couldn't even hear what they said after the joke because that theater was so loud. You had to go back and watch it because you missed the jokes because people were still laughing and they were going on.
That's how it was with life. I ended up having to buy the DVD because I couldn't hear anything because everybody laughing in the theater.
And I'm like, damn. And when you go back and listen to it, you realize what you actually missed.
And like Ocho said, there are some things like, there are classics. Even Friday, when you go back and look at the cast that was in Friday, the OG Friday? Yeah, for real.
And it's hard, man. I wish, comedy sequels are the toughest sequels to make, man, because, yeah cause yeah like an action sequel all you gotta do is ramp up the action and you good to go but like with comedy sequels they be trying to relive the magic and then they just be feeling forced now it's the once once I feel like you trying to make me laugh I'll be losing the will to do it I'll be like nah you kind, you're kind of forcing it now.
And the funny thing about it, you can tell. You can tell when they're trying to make you laugh.
When someone is authentic and organically funny, they're not even trying. The funniest people are not even trying.
There's a certain if factor that you're just born with. You can't teach it.
You't coach it you know, it's just either you got it or you don't Bill Bake, you know the problem is, is that when the first one does so well and it makes so much money you got to bring it back just cause for no other reason you got to bring it back, when you see these like, man, that's a good old movie. A movie did five half a billion.
A movie does a billion. You're getting a two, a three, and maybe a damn four.
It's like the Fast and the Furious. We done got 10.

Okay. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.

Yep, Dominique. Yeah, DC got some fire comedians.
Chico from DC, ain't it? Chico Bean? Yeah, I think he's from DC too. I think he is.
Yeah, man. I'm rocking with DC heavy.
This is a city as a whole, but those shows will be fun out there. Hey, when you guys started heavy, have you ever gotten booed? I got booed one time.
I was at a casino. This was a casino in Southern California.
And it was a casino. The last fact we used the book and Tiffany Haddish was the host.
So we out there. I make the drive out there.
Tiffany hosting, doing her thing. I get up there.
I'm on stage for probably about 15 minutes. And one dude was like, boo! I was like, dog, man.
Boo! So it was one boo. I didn't get the community boo But it was one strong boo That he sat in And so that's my only actual boo though But that's a boo though How you get boo Dude playing the slot And booing you from my playing the slot Boo It was a strong boo.
I felt like he had his spirit off when he did it, man. I felt like his chest was out.
I was like, man, you gonna boom me? Then he was like, boom! He doubled down. I thought you were a sports fan.
Let me ask you this. Who you go? Basketball go.
MJ, LeBron, Kobe, where you want to go? Who you go?

You know,

I'm from Chicago.

Oh, man. You already knew this door.

MJ? I got to give it to MJ,

man, because he just changed

everything. He did.

He did. He changed the whole

he shifted the whole

thing. So

I'm going to go with MJ.

Not only for that, not only because he played for the Bulls, but the stuff they was doing was just monumental. And I feel like, you know, the what if is, like what if he never went to play baseball and, you know what I'm saying, the what if on that.
We could have got seven, you know. Maybe not eight, but we could have got seven because then Houston Rockets was cold.
I'm gonna go MJ I feel like LeBron is one of the best to ever do it I don't like how people hate on him all the time and I feel like I feel like LeBron is the best player with the cleanest image of all time yeah because when you think about LeBron's image to be that great, it ain't been no scandals, man. He a family man, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.
He stayed out of trouble. He ain't got no DUI.
He ain't no guy. He ain't got nothing.
He ain't got nothing. He ain't got nothing.
He ain't got nothing. He ain't got nothing.
He ain't got nothing. He ain't got nothing.
He ain't got nothing. He ain't got nothing.
He ain't got nothing. He ain't got nothing.
He ain't got nothing. He ain't got nothing.
He ain't got nothing. He ain't got nothing.

He ain't got nothing. He ain't got nothing.
He ain't got nothing. He ain't got nothing.
yo, man, this is a good dude right here, man. Because he ain't got no Elf in college.
He ain't got no Elf in college. He ain't even going to college.
He could have been a mess in the game. But he was like, nah, man, my family, me, and I'm going to be doing stuff on the side.
You know what I'm saying? I'm going to be good with my money. I'm going to take care of my body, man.
He is like the blueprint I feel like the youth should follow in terms of how to manage being an athlete and whatever else you want to be at a high level and still keep your head on straight and I feel like what Kobe is Kobe is the Terminator like you know he out there Jordan Claus was just like I'm gonna fast and my job is to kill meet John Wick on the court he like yo like, yo, man. Y'all kill my puppet before the game.
And then he going to go in there and make sure the job's not done. So, yeah.
We got a fight coming up next year. It's going to be in San Francisco.
James Harrison in an MMA fight taking on Ocho. Who you got? What, you really doing this, Ocho? Man, I'm finna beat the brakes off him, man.
I feel like Ocho been waiting to fight somebody for a long time, man. He has.
He has. Listen, hey, Tony, I just want to show my skill set, man.
I want to show my skill set. I want to show all the work I've been doing behind the scenes.
Everybody sees me as a jokester. They see the entertainment.
They see the laughs and, you know, the hee-hee, ha-ha-ha. But there's another side that nobody gets to see.
Okay. And I'm waiting to preview that, you know, on whatever night we do have this bout.
And I need people of smaller size and stature to understand you don't have to be scared. Yeah.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. And at times, if you stand up to those that you think are intimidating, you will see that.
Hey, anybody can get knocked out, man. Anybody can get it.
You know what I'm saying? Thank you. What's your record off the court, out the ring? What's your record? Right now, in the ring, 1-0.
On the street, 5-2. Okay.
I respect that. I lost twice.
I ain't going to say I lost twice. I respect it.
Now let me ask you this. Did you lose the first two and then come back with the five straight? Or was the two losses in the mix of the five, in the seven? Yeah, I lost the first one.
No. And I went on like a winning streak.
Yeah. And then I got caught on the back end.
On the back end? So your last three fight was an L? Yeah. Oh, man, you had to go to sleep on that L looking at the ceiling fan.
Yeah, it's all good. It's all good.
I'm going to redeem myself. I'm going to redeem myself, though.
You going to take it out on Debo? Yeah, you can't listen. You came with them all.
I don't care who y'all. Yeah, that's right.
Nah, hey, if you fight them up, you ain't going to get you. Then eventually they'll get you.
They'll get you. Hey, they going going to get you.
That's why I quit when I was ahead. I'm like 3-0.
I'm good. Oh, you're 3-0 on the street? I'm 3-0.
Hey, I'm 3-0. I'm done.
I done got too old to fight now. That's how you trap out.
You know what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I ain't had a fight since I was 25.
But this is what I tell people. Big, this is what I tell people.
I say, I don't even know if I can fight anymore. But you probably don't want to find out.
Hell no, man. That's a long way to happen.
But if you do lose the shot, you can be like, it was Shadden, though. That's a good one.
That's funny. Hey, Big, we appreciate it, man.
Best of luck, man. Congratulations on all your success.
Hey, anytime your success I'm going to catch you I'm going to catch you at one of these shows hopefully we somewhere in the same area and I can get out to one of your shows man because I really love what you're doing man and so congratulations thanks for joining us and we're going to check you out down the road alright man I appreciate y'all man thank you man thanks for the shout out a long time ago. Thank you, bro.
A long time ago, too, bro. Yes, sir.
Hey, plug your podcast. You want to plug your pod? Oh, absolutely.
So I got two podcasts. I got two podcasts.
I got a solo joint called Verbal Cardio. You can catch that wherever you get your podcasts or Tony Baker Comedy on YouTube.
And I got my other podcast, the Ball Brothers podcast that I do with my bro Kev on stage. And we do together.
We drop those every Tuesday and that's everywhere you get your podcast from as well. Y'all should have Kev on here, man.
He was killing on here too, man. Bet.
We're going to look to do that. All right, y'all.
Appreciate it, bro. All right, for sure.
I don't know how to get off of here, Leave the chat Okay, alright Yeah Hey, that was dope I mean, the guests that we had TJ and Bake They were unbelievable But back to this LeBron and Pat McAfee Like you said,cho, we're not used to seeing LeBron James sit down for an extended period of time. Normally, when he's in the finals or he's in the playoff, he would sit down.
That's like 10 minutes. And it's always basketball related too, huh? It's always basketball related.
He's literally talking about other stuff going on in life. He's being vulnerable, letting people in, something he's never, never, ever done before.
Players like that of his magnitude, of his status, that allows the world and the public to see what he wants you to, to actually sit down for a change. I guarantee you, if they were to do the numbers on how many people watch that Pat Pat Bakker show I bet it's astronomical crazy because it's something he's never done right and uh you know and to see like you said to see him but that just lets you know that he and for me looking at him considering that he had ever ever done anything like this, the thing about how many people have criticized him.
Yeah. And he's never, ever done it before.
So that lets you know he had gotten to a place that he's like, I've had it up to here. Yeah.
And I don't know if he knew. I don't think he knew Stephen A was going to come to the game, but he had had it in his mind if he ever saw Stephen A., he was going to step to him.

But, um, he got Stephen A. number.

He got a text or call him.

If there was an issue, you got a text or call him.

They communicate with each other.

Obviously, they have some sort of relationship.

No, they don't.

You don't think so? No. Okay.
Well, my bad. No.
But, like you said, I mean... What do you mean, no, they don't now, as opposed to before? I don't think they've ever had an relationship where they pick up the phone and they talk to each other like that.

I don't think they've ever had that type of relationship.

Do I think they've been cordial to each other?

I remember I think I saw something on an old clip,

maybe with YouTube where Stephen A actually sat down and he interviewed LeBron,

but I don't think they're in a situation where they like pick up the phone,

they have each other, they can call each other like that.

I don't know if LeBron is maybe teammates.

And it could.

I could be wrong.

All right. where they like pick up the phone, they have each other, they can call each other like that.
I don't know if LeBron is maybe teammates.

And it could.

I could be wrong.

I could be wrong.

I could be totally wrong. But I don't know if LeBron has his number or he has LeBron's number.

LeBron is, you know, very, very, very – LeBron rocked with who he rocked with.

And I think once you get to this level, if you haven't developed a friend by now, LeBron James ain't who he rocked with and I think once you get to this level if you haven't

developed a friend by now, LeBron James

ain't letting you in his circle.

It's really that simple.

He got his friends.

Rich is his agent. Maverick is his

chief of staff.

Mav is one of his business partners.

I'm trying to think who else

he rocks. Chris Paul.

He's very close to Chris Paul. I think he's the grand godfather to run a CP3.
I think Vice Burson, same thing with CP. But other than that, I don't think LeBron has a whole lot of what we call I look at those guys like I look at Bucket like I look at Bucket and Burns.
He ain got a whole lot of Bucket and Burns in his life you ain't got a whole

lot of you know TJ your boy

you rock with TJ

you ain't got a whole lot of them

and I look at LeBron

and I think LeBron is kind of like that

but hopefully

hopefully

everybody's made their point

LeBron was upset what he said Thank you. hopefully, hopefully everybody's made their point.

Yeah.

LeBron was upset what he said.

Steve and they said what I was trying to say. Sometimes

things get lost in translation.

It is what it is. But at the end of the day,

I think

we've got a lot of juice.

I think both have

kind of squeezed that orange O-Joe.

Yeah.

And got a lot of juice out of it have kind of squeezed that orange ocho yeah and got a lot of juice out of and then lebron took a uh aim at wendy brian windhorn said this guy says he's my best effing friend these guys are just weird i don't know if wendy's ever said i think wendy went to the same school he went to ocho i don't think i've never heard i could be wrong never heard, and I could be wrong. Guys, hell, I was on Undisputed for seven years.
I didn't hear everything Wendy said. As a matter of fact, I didn't watch anything on Anywhere.
All I watched was the games that were on ESPN. I don't watch any other debate shows.
I don't watch any other shows that do what I do, and I'm going to be talking about something, because I don't want what they say to creep in what I'm going to say. So I don't want you.
So Wendy, Chad, if he said that he was LeBron's best friend, I apologize. But I don't recall.
And if I misspeak, I apologize to you guys. But I don't believe Wendy has said that he's LeBron's best friend.
I think because he's covered LeBron for so long, and I think they went to the same school, St. Vincent St.
Mary, he said, I think he said, I might probably know him better than anyone else. But I don't get why, I mean, he would say that about Wendy.
Man, you never know. I think, like I said, LeBron is probably, LeBron is fed up.
He's on, I'm not saying he's on the way out the door, but he's on the tail end of everything. And now he's opening up a little bit more, doing things out of character that he normally wouldn't do, which is giving the people what they want.
Letting us in. You know, giving us a glimpse of what's inside the world and mind of LeBron King James.

And I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it.

I hope he does more of it.

I hope other athletes do more of it.

You know what?

I wish LeBron would like Jeff T.

Have you ever sat in this room?

Jeff T.

Tell stories?

Yeah.

LeBron, it would be an honor for him to take a page out of Jeff Teague's book and be that bone open and open and just give it to stories. I would love that.
Yeah. LeBron talked about his relationship with MJ.
While he still has a misrespect for Jordan, the pair don't talk much these days. I think that would change when he retires from NBA, saying Jordan and Tim's competitive spirit is why the two don't talk much now.
We all know MJ. Even if you don't know him personally, he's one of the most ruthless competitors there is.
And until I'm done and he doesn't have to look at me run up and down that court wearing the 23, every time my name is mentioned, it's mentioned with his. He's like, I don't want to effing talk to you.
Do you agree, Ocho? I mean, that's dope. That's dope.
Listen, that's the competitor, the competitive nature in MJ. I think it's understandable, especially when it comes to him.
I think he's not closed off, but MJ and Kobe are alike, in a sense. MJ and Kobe are alike, in a sense.
I think their relationship will be much better and a lot closer once LeBron is done playing. Yeah.
They go play golf together, smoke cigars, have a little wine, whatever it is that they do. But right now, while LeBron is actively playing, I don't think him and MJ, just outside of playing the game of basketball and being successful businessmen, there's not much for them to talk about right now.
The only friend I know Jordan got is Oak. I mean, Oak is his guy.
Now, I've been around Jordan a little bit, and he is ultra, ultra competitive. First thing I've been, I mean, I want, hey, you want to play cards play cards no I don't want to play cards

because you know Jordan game you got to come down with at least 100 100 100 grand 200 grand in cash oh yeah he don't play he do not play no I said bro you're not gonna have me you're not gonna have me living on the streets I love my house it ain't it ain't short but I ain't trying to keep with you? No, no. I don't

play no $5,000 or $50,000

a hand. Hell no.

What the f***? it ain't showing but I ain't trying to keep up with you no no I don't play no $5,000 $50,000 a hand hell nah no bro bro guess what as long as they make shoes with that logo you got money coming in I ain't in the NFL no more I ain't got no more money coming in you know I was 35 then I can draw my pension at 62 so I got another 5 years before I can get that old chope before I take a penalty. Hell, no, I ain't gambling with you.
As a matter of fact, I'm mad you asked me that. You know damn well I ain't got no money.
No, I'm going to let you in. I'm going to let you in.
Because I think they play guts. It's kind of like Boo Ray.

You ever play Boo Ray?

No, sir.

No, sir.

No, sir.

Or in between.

But nah, hell nah.

He also, LeBron talked about Giannis on PMAC.

You trying to tell me Giannis wouldn't be able to play in the NBA games in the 70s.

Giannis would have had 250 points in a game in the 70s.

But let me ask you. See, you're transporting Giannis today back then.

Right.

Do y'all really know what they did?

Did y'all see those fights?

How many people got to go down the lane?

See, the stuff that they called foul now, there wasn't no foul.

There was nobody getting suspended for slapping an ish out of somebody.

There was no, I mean, there was no, I mean, what did, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Karl Malone put 44 stitches in Nazeel here? You still think you want to come down the lane? Do y'all remember, uh, the, uh, the finals in 84? When Larry, when, uh, um, Larry Burke, when, uh, who was that? Kevin McHale snatched Kurt Rambis' ass out the sky? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it and nobody was suspended you can't take the modern play because Ocho, you're talking about technology and you're talking about the modernization yes, if you transform Giannis today and put him back then looking like what player couldn't what player

if I take you today

you know what you know in the technology

that you've been able to develop

and put you back in the 70s

man Ocho will kill it

yes

modernization

that's unfair

I think from

just like it's unfair

just like it's unfair to say oh man if Jordan played today he averaged 50 how about this let's leave everybody in the era in which they played in Giannis plays in the 2010s and 2020s LeBron has been in the 2000s the 2010s and, and now the 2020s. Let's leave everybody that because it's unfair.
Yeah. It's unfair.
Look, I get it. And it's a conversation, but come on, because we're not being fair to the guys that played in that era.
That was great. Right.
Because it's almost like if you talk about these guys,

like you're trying to minimize them.

And I get mad at the old guys for trying to minimize the current players.

Guys, you were great.

Nobody's trying to rob you of that.

You were great.

These guys are great.

The guys in the 60s, that were great.

The guys in the 70s were great. Guys in the 80s.
Right. But it's unfair, Ocho.
Yeah, it is. I mean, listen, I understand what LeBron was saying.
Obviously, he is exaggerated a little bit. But if you look at the players from back then, I know, just being honest, from a technical standpoint, from a physical standpoint, I know what they did

in between the lane

and being physical

and, you know,

slapping and punching

and all that.

But are you thinking about Giannis

and Giannis today?

It, it, it,

oh my goodness.

That letter...

It's called technology, Ocho.

You got an opportunity

to work on things.

Guys didn't have,

didn't have modern medicine.

They didn't have technology.

Think about

when you ruptured Achilles.

You were done.

You tore a knee. You were done.
You had that big-ass bulky knee brace, that big Dunjoy on. It's different now.
We got modern medicine. We know how to eat.
We know how to train. We have personal trainers and physio.
Those guys in the 60s and 70s and 80s didn't have the money to have all of this stuff. But Brian, when you're making $50 million in basketball and another $75, $80 million off the court, you can have a chef that prepares every meal to your specifications.
You can have a physio. You can have a Mike Macias.
As LeBron, excuse me, as Jordan had Tim Grover. Tim and I, we still, we text a lot now.
But it's different. It's not fair that you try to compare this era to that era or that era to this era.
You're right. You're right.
Oh, boy. Damian Lillard was diagnosed with blood clots in his right calf.
He's the third player this year to have blood clot issues. In 2022, the playoffs, no Chris Middleton.
In 2023, Giannis plays two out of five games. In 2024, Dame and Giannis both were injured.
Dame is out indefinitely. Should the Bucs be thankful that Giannis had all-time finals run in 2022.
I mean, 2021.

Because it seemed like ever since then, at some point in time,

a key player has been injured.

Chris Middleton was injured.

Then there was a couple of years that Giannis was injured,

and then you had Giannis and Dame both injured,

and now Dame is injured.

And the Bucs are not going anywhere with just Giannis.

First of all, he's not going to be at the Cavs without him,

and he's not going to be able to beat the Celtics.

I'll see you next time. injured and the Bucs are not going anywhere with just Giannis.
First of all, he's not going to be at the Cavs without him and he's not going to be able to beat the Celtics. Hell, he wasn't going to probably be able to beat the Celtics with Dane.
Let alone with him. I'm not so sure they can beat the Knicks without Dane.
The days of one guy dominating a series and winning the whole, that's over. You forget all about that.
It's unfortunate. It's unfortunate.
It's very, very serious. When Mayama has something similar to this, if I'm not mistaken, I don't know if the diagnosis is exactly the same, but obviously it's a blood clot.
I'm glad they were able to catch it. It sucks.
It sucks for the Bucks. It sucks for the organization.
And it most definitely sucks for Damien Litter and his family.

Uh, I'm hoping a speedy recovery for him.

Uh,

especially something like this is,

is very,

very serious,

especially when it comes to your blood thinners.

You probably go,

you'll build blood thinners the rest of his life.

Man.

Yeah.

That,

that,

that's,

that sucks,

man.

I hope,

I hope it gets better fast,

man.

You know,

buying a home used to be a huge headache.

You had to go to a bunch of different places for listings,

Ocho, you're going to be upset.

According to the full rules report set to the NFL team this week, this is now 15-yard penalty. What? It's being considered a violent gesture.
So every time you know how to CD and all the guys like the... What? You know what? I'm not, I'm not going to upset myself.
I'm not even going to upset myself because whatever the competition committee whoever's responsible for this and making the rules still they're all about control taking away the NFL NFL stands for no fun league and they continue to strike and continue to find ways to take fun away from the game and allow players not to be them individual selves. But, you know, attendance was down, right, if I'm not mistaken? But we all go ahead and do it your way.
Hey, Ocho, they give me $60 million, I'll go out there in a tuxedo. I mean, Ocho, I mean, you think about that money.
Hey, Ocho, you made good money. O Ojo them jokers making 6-7 times what you made oh yeah you think about what you made and not just 6-6 exit yeah hey Ojo I'm gonna have everything on nice for sure it is I don't no problems.
I don't want no problems in the NFL. I tell you one thing.
If I was playing in today's era, all the stuff I was doing back then, I'd still be doing it now. You still do it? Oh, man.
Plus something. I ain't going to get no penalty.
I ain't going to do nothing to get my team a penalty. But you know.
I never got my team no penalty. I'm going to talk ish to talk ish now.
But then now, you can't say the N-word, Ocho. Yeah, I know.
Can you imagine if we was playing during the social media era? We don't say the N-word on that field? Oh, yeah. You heard me? Can you imagine if we was playing during the social media era? Oh, Lord.
Man, listen.

Boy.

Oh, Lord.

Not me.

Mind you, I got in trouble for tweeting on the sideline.

We'll play Philly.

I got in trouble for tweeting on the sideline in the middle of a preseason game.

That was the beginning of social media era for me in 2009.

Can you imagine? Man, listen, I'll score a touchdown and go live on Instagram. Who? I told you.
I'm going to take that plan. But see, I did the celebration where I pretended like I had a phone.
Joe Horn actually went and hid a phone. Pulled a phone and pulled the phone out.
I said, pretty soon, somebody go, hey, I don't lie one time, I'm going to say, look here, I'm going to send $100,000. I'm going to call Uber Eats.
Uber Eats is going to bring me a pizza on the sideline. I ain't lie.
Hey, one thing about it. Hey, I would say, look here, I'm going to tell my agent, my financial people, I'm going to send $100,000 aside because sign because I know I'm going to get fined.
He's going to bring me a pizza. Hey, that's a good one right there.
Listen, today's game, I will push the envelope. I really, they allow everybody to celebrate.
They allow group celebrations. But everybody doing the same stuff.
Nothing is authentic. Nothing is organic.
They're doing stuff they see on TV. They're doing stuff they see on TikTok.
You get that. Oh, the NFL is all about fan engagement, right? Oh, this is what y'all want? You want the fans to enjoy the game and have fun? No, we tell y'all how to engage the fans.
Don't you try to come up with something OG. Oh, no, no.
Oh, I'm coming up with something. I'm going to push the envelope.
Oh, don't let me score in the north or south end zone. Don't let me be playing away.
Man, I'm pulling the fan out of the end zone, man. We're going to sit there and do the kid and play.
I'm going to put him right back in the stands. Can you imagine? Man, you're going to get the fan thrown out.
You know the fan can't step on the field, man. That is a memory.
That is a memory. I promise you, if I was playing today, whatever game I score, I'm telling you, I will pull a fan out the stands in the north or south end zone pull them down

and do the kid and play

that will be iconic because it's something that's never been done before

everybody's doing stuff

now that you can celebrate

they just repeating the same stuff over and over

somebody has to push the envelope

and make it fun

make it fun

alright Ocho

it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q&A.
Matthew Tessify asked, is it still the Lakers in five, though? Yeah. We ain't running.
We ain't dunking no smoke.

We got something for the Bulls, too.

We going to pay the Bulls back on, I think that's Friday night. Is it Friday night? When they pay the Bulls, Ash? Friday night or tomorrow night? I don't know when.
It's tomorrow? Oh, damn. Oh, maybe I spoke too quick.
No, got something for the bulls. We're going to play Kobe White back.
Man, Kobe White, Josh Getty, and Brazellas, man, they did something bad to us. We owe y'all.
We owe y'all, Boop. So we coming to the house at Jordanville.
