The Bengals beat the Jags in overtime.
Ocho Browning, Jake Browning, 32-37.
354, a touchdown.
Trevor Lawrence suffers a nasty ankle injury.
And it's just not about this game.
It's about the ramifications moving forward.
Because the Texans are right there nipping tuck on their heels in the AFC South.
And if he's down for any substantial amount of time,
this could be the opportunity that Texas need to overtake
the Jags. But let's talk about your Bengals
get a hard-fought victory on the road
to keep their playoff hopes alive.
34-31, Jake Browning,
32-37, 354 to touchdown.
What'd you like about your Bengals tonight? I love it.
They had a balanced tack. They had a
healthy dose of not just the run, but also
play action. A little RPO a little bit. Not full a healthy dose of not just the run, but also play action. A little
RPO a little bit. Not
full RPO because Browning is not one
that's like Lamar Jackson to be able to run the ball.
A nice dose of
passes to Tee, to Tyler.
Chase has some big catches tonight.
Big clutch catches.
We look good.
We look very efficient. I think
Browning look exactly
like I expect him to look
outside of how he looked last week.
Okay, now you got two weeks
under your belt.
You got receivers
that make your job somewhat easy.
All you have to do
is put the ball in a vicinity.
You don't have to do much.
You don't have to play hero ball.
Let them take everything else.
And this is what you got today.
You had a quarterback
that all we need you to do
is be efficient.
Don't turn the ball over. Don't throw any picks.
Take what the defense gives you and make sure we have a chance to win the game towards the end.
And that's exactly what we got from him.
Yeah, I think T. Higgins coming back was a big boost for them.
Obviously, now you got a guy that can also be one on one coverage when they start rolling coverage towards Chase.
But Chase made some big time catches. He had a big touchdown run.
That third, I think it was a third down when he caught it.
He bobbled it and still somehow secured the catch before he went down.
And I think that ended up leading to a field goal.
It's those type of plays that really sets him apart from some of the other receivers.
And that's what you expect from a 1A receiver. Guys make tough plays in tough situations.
But you're right.
The Bengals played really well last night.
I mean, tonight.
Well, last night.
Well, last night.
Last night, yeah.
It's past midnight.
Yeah, you're right.
They played well last night.
But they needed this Ocho.
They really needed this victory to keep their playoff hopes alive.
They couldn't afford to lose any more
games because the Texans, like I said,
but the Texans had already gone
and beaten them. So the Texans do own
the head-to-head matchup.
But now your situation where
you get a little closer to Jacksonville because we don't
know their situation. I think
also the Broncos are
also 6-6. And so
you know you got the four division winners
that get automatic berth, and
then you have three wild cards. So
every game matters.
But I, you know,
Trevor Lawrence, man, that was
Parker Washington.
The reason why this happened is because
Trevor wanted to throw the ball
and he over there bulljjiving in the route.
Bro, get your head around.
I was looking at number two on the replay, like
what was he doing? Number 11.
You mean the two receiver,
but number 11, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It seemed
like he thought it was like a run
the way he came off the ball. You saw that too?
Yeah, like he wanted to block somebody.
I don't know where the miscommunication was at,
but he was right there.
All he had to do was just turn.
Turn around.
But there was a miscommunication between him and the quarterback.
And it's unfortunate.
I know what Trevor got just based on what happened.
It's a high ankle sprain.
Mm-hmm.
Because he's planning, and the guy, the left tackle.
Stepped on his ankle.
Hendricks bulls him back.
So now he's trying to brace, trying to catch him.
And now he steps on Trevor's ankle, rolls it over.
All that weight, man.
All that weight.
All that weight.
All that weight.
Yeah.
And you know, when you see a guy slam the ground, he knows he's injured.
He takes his helmet off on the field.
He slams it to the turf.
He knows he's injured.
This ain't something like, okay, just let me get to the sideline, re-tape it, I'll be okay.
No, I'm injured, guys.
I'm injured.
I ain't going to spring in on the joke.
Let's get to this, Ochoa.
This is what I want you to do.
Your boy, Zach Wilson.
Yeah, that's my – hey, Zach, that's my boy.
I'm going to make sure you steal your boy after this.
The Jets reportedly want to make the switch at quarterback.
The team is leaning towards Zach Wilson to take back over, but he's reluctant to stepping back in.
Hold on. Aaron Rodgers reached out to Zach in an effort to advise him to resume the role as
starter, but Wilson remained apprehensive due to the perceived injury risk. Hell no. And I don't blame him.
And I don't blame him.
I mean, I don't, man, listen, that's like, stay with me a little bit now.
Stay with me, baby.
The people that are watching, stay with me.
Let's say you have a girlfriend in high school, right?
And y'all are dating.
And all of a sudden, you know what?
She say, you know what she say you know what
this ain't really working out
I don't even want to be
with you no more
and she gone and deal
with somebody else
and you know what
she don't really like him
because he ain't nothing like you
you know what
I'ma come on
you know what I messed up
I ain't really mean that
I think we should
I think we should rekindle things
and get back together.
Right.
Man, if you don't get up out my face, man, there's the disrespect.
Yeah.
The disrespect of what the Jets are trying to do, similar to what they're doing to Mac Jones over there.
Oh, bench you.
Put somebody else in.
Bench you.
Man, Zach said, I ain't going for that.
I ain't going for that.
Do you see what happened?
Do you see what happened with Trepacemian?
Did you see what he had to deal with?
And you think I'm going to go back in the game and deal with that?
When you tried to put the onus and the blame of the struggles of our team on me
and use me as a scapegoat?
Man, please.
I don't blame him.
You played in the league a long time.
So you tell me what you think the other 31 teams are thinking.
Are you done with the NFL?
Or you want to go somewhere?
So I want you to tell me, what are the other teams thinking?
You tell me what his teammates are thinking.
See, I told you from the jump, he wasn't a guy.
But go ahead.
Tell me what you think the other 31 teams are thinking.
I'm not sure.
You are sure. Okay.
Hold on. The reports are coming out.
A player, they want to put a player
back in the game, but he's reluctant
or apprehensive. They get him
killed? What, you want to get him killed?
Okay. I'm just saying, you want to get
him killed? The
other 31 teams, listen, stay with me.
Let me finish. The other 31 teams,
the management, the GMs, the people in the front office,
and the other 53 players on the other 31 teams, they can see, they watch film.
They play the Jets.
They can see what's happening.
They can see what's happening to the quarterback position at the Jets.
What are they going to say?
He ain't going to lead them.
He ain't going to lead them.
Ain't nobody want him in the team.
Ain't nobody want him on their team.
He ain't going to lead them.
The eye in the sky don't lie.
Oh, Joe.
So let me ask you a question.
I ain't rolling with that one.
I want you to hear me out.
So Zach Wilson will be the first guy that got benched and been asked to go back and
resume his starting role.
Are you telling me in the 105-year history of the NFL NFL Zach Wilson would be the first guy regardless of position
to lose his job
and then been asked to
go resume his job
you want him to get killed? I'm just asking
I want him to do his effing job
he tried to do it, how you gonna do it?
running for your life, how the fuck he gonna do his job
running for his life, getting his head knocked off
he can't even do a god damn three step drop how is he gonna do in job running for his life? Getting his head knocked off. He can't even do a goddamn
three-step drop.
How is he gonna do in job?
Read this thing to me.
He got benched.
He wasn't reading the coverages.
Even when it wasn't
a three-step drop.
Stay with me.
He got benched, right?
Yeah.
He got benched.
Yes.
He got benched because
he wasn't able to do in job.
He wasn't able to play
efficient football.
Okay.
He put Trevor Simeon in there.
Yeah.
What changed?
What happened different?
Nothing changed.
Nothing.
He got hurt.
Nothing at all. So why you
wanting to go back and do a job when he couldn't do it the first time?
Because that's his job as a football
player. You don't get to determine
well, since you benched me,
I'm going to sit on the sidelines and sulk.
Your job is on NFL football.
So let me ask you a question. So guess what?
So I don't have to pay it?
No. How in my ass do I
have to pay it?
Hey, listen.
I love you.
I love you to death.
I know exactly
what you're talking about.
I know exactly
where you're coming from,
but I'm standing
with Zach Wilson on this.
You ain't finna send me out there
with no goddamn collateral damage
to get my ass kicked.
Uh-uh.
I ain't got nothing to work with.
Well, guess what?
I ain't got nothing to work with. I ain't got nothing to work with.
If I'm the champ, I'm going to suspend it for conduct
detrimental. I'm going to suspend it for conduct
detrimental. Don't have me in
no wheelchair talk about, you don't want
to kick it? Nah, don't do me like
that. I'm going to have to suspend it for conduct detrimental
to the team. You ain't got to play.
I'll sit you down. You ain't
going to get no chance, though. Hey, listen, put me out
there like that, it's conduct detrimental to my mental listen. Putting me out there like that is conjugal detrimental to my mental health.
Putting me out there like that is conjugal detrimental.
What you think his teammates been thinking?
How you think they been living when he was out there been sucking for two and a half years?
Nah, it ain't him.
Well, who in the hell has been great at the quarterback position for the Jets since Joe Namath?
Since you want to blame Zach Wilson for the past
two years. What about the other 20 years?
Oh. What about the other 20?
Mark Sanchez. How far back do we need
to go? So, that's your question.
Is Mark Sanchez better than
Zach Wilson? Because he got him in two
AFC Championship games riding a top-notch
defense. So, I'm going to ask you again.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who got him there? A top-notch what. So I'm going to ask you again. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who got him there?
A top-notch what?
Defense.
Okay, thank you.
Whoa!
So now you, hold on.
Now I want you to know,
hey, Chad, y'all chime in.
Chad Ochocinco told me
the Jets defense like that.
When Robert Sondland was talking-
The Jets defense is like,
they are like that.
Oh, they are!
Yeah.
And you know what?
The Jets offense is like that because they got Alan Lazar and they got motherfucking Gary Wilson.
You want to know who the problem is?
Oh.
Can I tell you who the problem is?
Yeah.
Who?
The play calling.
The play calling.
I don't know.
I want to trust you, but I don't know if I can trust you because I know you told me Chase Claypool just needed a change of scenery
from Pittsburgh, from Chicago,
and when the last time you heard Chase Claypool
name called in Miami?
Well, goddamn. They got
goddamn Tyreek, goddamn Hill, and
goddamn Waddle. You told me Chase Claypool
is a
vending machine.
What is a vending machine? You know what a vending
machine is, don't you? You know what a vending machine is, don't you?
You know what a vending machine is?
They got a whole lot of things.
Sometimes they got sodas.
Sometimes they got chips.
Sometimes they got a gum.
You know, I've seen vending machines that have cell phone cameras.
You just give me all these analogies
with the cell phone.
But hold on, hold on, hold on.
When you got a vending machine,
if ain't nobody put no goddamn quarters in,
you ain't nobody buying shit.
So what you want to do?
Because everybody know the material in there defected. Vending machine just sit on the side. no goddamn quarters in you, ain't nobody buying shit. So what you want to do? Because everybody know the material
in there defective. Old ass
soda. Who breaking, drinking soda that's been
in there half the can because it done evaporated?
Nah. Nah, that ain't got nothing to do
with it. That ain't got nothing to do with it. But listen,
I understand what you're saying, and the people
in the chat, I want you to
listen and stay
with me and have a better understanding
and really think about what's
going on over there in New York. You're not going to use Zach Wilson as this scapegoat and understand
the troubles and the struggles that we are having offensively. And then you're going to bench me
and say, well, damn, okay, I'm the issue. We're struggling. And then put somebody else in for me
and you see him get killed as well. And obviously Aaron Rodgers, when he, you know, the few plays he did play,
he was having to run for his life in just a short amount of time.
And nothing has changed.
Nothing has changed.
And now to tell me, oh, now we know we want you to go back in there.
Hell no.
You got me fucked up.
Oh, you know, excuse me.
I almost cursed.
I apologize.
You ain't got to go in there.
We ain't got to worry about paying you either.
I mean, you're going to get that check for all that bullshit y'all putting him through.
Y'all going to give him that.
Y'all going to give him that.
Let me ask you a question.
If the Bengals told Ocho Cinco to go, huh?
Suspend him for what?
Hold on.
They need to suspend the goddamn front office who got the goddamn team so goddamn incompetent
the past two goddamn 30 years
and not building the right team
for the goddamn fans of New York goddamn city.
That's what they need to suspend.
Yeah, you suspend the goddamn draft of Zach Wilson.
Who made the calls?
Who do the goddamn drafting?
Who do the drafting with the Jets?
Whoever drafted Zach Wilson made a huge mistake.
Yeah, well, shit.
But it was the same guy that drafted Quentin Williams.
Whoever been doing the drafting for the J of the past 20, 30 years,
they need –
I don't know about 20, 30 years,
but I know a guy, that same guy that drafted Zach Wilson,
drafted Quentin Williams.
That pretty good.
He drafted Sal Salzgardner.
That pretty good.
Pretty good, yeah.
Oh, he drafted Gary Wilson.
That pretty good.
That's very good.
Oh, okay.
That's very good.
Okay. Yeah's very good. Oh, okay. That's very good. Okay.
Yeah, very good.
But there's a certain position that matters in sports,
especially when it comes to the NFL.
When it comes to the NFL, you're only as good as your quarterback.
You're only going to go as far as your quarterback and his supporting cast.
What's up here?
What's in here, Ocho?
What's up here?
What's in here, Ocho?
You already know what the deal is out there. Yeah, Ocho. What's up here? What's in here, Ocho? You already know
what the deal is.
I know.
Y'all not finna use that
cause no goddamn...
Talk about some...
Come on.
Come on.
That's like...
And you know good and well
if some chick left you
and things didn't go well
with the next one,
she came back
trying to holler at you again.
You better kick rock.
Ocho, you gotta look at
a situation like this.
Don't even play at my top like that. Ocho, you got to look at a situation like this. Don't even play
at my top like that. Ocho, but you got to look
at it like this is like a job.
I mean, you might get demoted
on a job. Now, you can either leave
the job or they say, okay, it didn't
work out. We want you to resume your role.
You can say, hell no.
And they say, I'm going to fire you or I'm going
to suspend you for conduct detrimental.
The choices are yours.
What? Where's the conduct detrimental?
Ocho, if they try to put you back into your case.
Putting him in harm's way?
Have you been watching the Jets this season?
I've been watching the Jets.
That's conduct detrimental.
Ocho, anytime you play in a football game, Jack, I'm at a risk.
Zach Wilson's at a risk. You were at
a risk. Everybody was at a risk.
But the objective, but the problem
is, is that when they, I
couldn't, if Mike and them tried to put me in,
if Brian Billy and them tried to put me in,
nah, y'all ain't been
rocking with me this long. Y'all go
be at home. Come on, you ain't built like
that. That's different. You ain't built like that. That's different.
You ain't built like that.
And listen, in the onus of the team,
the franchise is not on your shoulders.
That's completely different.
Now, the quarterback position,
especially quarterbacks in general,
they're very fragile.
They're very fragile, obviously,
based on... Yes, sir.
Ocho, how you gonna look at your quarterback
and you know what we
Going through as a team
Regardless of position
And he said, we out there fighting
Yeah, fighting what?
Fighting what?
The Jets still think they got
The Jets are playing
You don't think that defense playing hard?
You don't think Garrett Wilson out there
Busting his ass?
The defense is playing extremely well.
They are still playing extremely well, even though the
offense at this point in the season,
they've been up and down.
They've been up and down. Zach Wilson tried
to do the best that he could with what
he had to work with. I still,
honestly, no bullshit, I still
think it's the play calling because there's too much talent
offensively with Brees Hall, Gary Wilson,
and Alan Zard and creativity that they can have
offensively,
whereas you look the way it does.
That's all I've been saying.
That's all I've been saying.
But here's the thing.
I'm not saying that's not the case.
But just because I got a crappy boss,
that does not excuse me
from doing my job.
That's the problem
that he's running into.
Let's just say for the sake of
argument, I agree with everything that you
said, that Nathaniel Hackett, we saw
how he looked miserably in
Denver, and we see how he's looking
now. All those things may
be true, but that does not
exalt me of my
responsibility of going out there
and playing to the best of my ability.
You just told me.
I remember I told you about the quarterback
and having confidence and a belief.
You was like, I don't give a damn if I don't believe.
I got a responsibility to do my
job. I got to go out there and be my own.
What happened to your responsibility to go
and do your job?
I was talking about coming from
a place of me being me
and me going to do it.
So you want a guy like that leading you?
That guy right there?
Well, listen, if that guy would lead me, he wouldn't be going through the issues he's going through right now.
He wouldn't be going through them issues.
Man, stop.
He wouldn't be going through them issues.
Man, listen, why you better check my resume?
Don't play on me.
So hold on.
So it's not the play callers.
So you say- Come first? Okay. I wouldn't care what the play at me. So, hold up. So, it's not the play call. So, you say Gary.
Come first.
I wouldn't care what the play call.
I don't care.
Nathaniel Hackett can call what he want.
When I break that huddle, I say, Zach, if the safety's in the middle of the field,
I don't care what the play call.
Let that bitch come my way.
Oh, Joe.
I'm going to make your job easy.
You got the right one.
I'm going to make your job easy.
Yeah.
I mean, look at how it looked last year when the other quarterback was in there
with Gary Wilson.
He won Offensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year.
He didn't have to be Einstein.
He just had to have marginal competence.
That's it.
That's it.
But again, who's calling the plays again?
Nathaniel Hackett.
Okay. Listen, I'm not one to talk about people, but I mean, let's talk about the elephant in the room before we get to blaming Zach Wilson.
But anyway, let's go.
Well, the poll, we got 3,000 votes so far. 57%, we agree with Unk. 43% agree with you.
Come on, man.
57%, what y'all doing, man?
Think about your job.
Think about your workplace.
If your boss played with your head like that,
you know what?
I don't even really think you the one for the job.
Where you working at?
So, we're going to move on to Larry.
Wait, we're going to move on to Larry
and let Larry do it.
They get Larry and that motherfucker for a week
and your boss come back to you, you know what? Larry wasn't it, man. let Larry do it. They get Larry and that motherfucker for a week, and then your boss
come back to you, you know what? Larry wasn't it,
man. Larry wasn't it. Yeah, you think you
could come on back? Hell nah.
Oh, Joe. Don't play me like that. You just,
hold on. Didn't you just tell me
as hard as the economy is right now
and these godforsaken times
that people can just turn down jobs
and the holidays right around the corner?
Yeah, holidays around the corner now.
Exactly.
So guess what?
When Larry didn't pay it out
and your boss come back and say,
hey, you think you can fill back in?
What you think they're going to say
when the holidays right around the corner?
I sure can.
That's exactly what they're going to say.
Okay, that was a horrible analogy.
I'm hoping people understand where I'm coming from.
But I understand.
I'm going to empathize with Zach because he's done all he can.
You think about training camp and off-season program and all the work you put in.
And things aren't panning out.
And they sit you down.
And all of a sudden, they try another quarterback.
And you're on the bench.
You're like, damn, they tried me.
Look at the fucking bullshit I got to deal with.
And then, oh, now you want me
to come back and...
Man, don't get me started.
Ocho, I got Nathaniel High Voltage 52
donated to $20.
Another show, Ocho.
Another $20.
Hey, Ocho,
just because my job
causes me stress,
I still got to show up
if I want to get paid
in this damn economy.
Everyone thinks I'm a cowboy hater because of my
critiques. Objective cowboy fan.
Hey, Nathan
52. Didn't I tell you
there's no such thing as objective
and cowboy fans
merged together?
But I appreciate you, man. I really appreciate you, Nathan,
watching the show, man. It means a lot
to us that we have so many regular
people that tune in on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays. And sometimes we're going to have coming up in the very, man, it means a lot to us that we have so many regular people that tune in on
Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. And sometimes we're going to have, coming up in the very near
future, we're going to have some Saturday night game. So we really appreciate it. But we understand
you're absolutely right. Just because your boss stresses you out, if you want to get paid in this
economy, mortgage, car note, utilities, grocery. Listen, I like where you're going with it.
I like where you're going with it,
but I don't like the,
it's not a fair assessment
to really compare the NFL athlete
with us working people, you know?
You got a job, show your ass up
and do your job.
Ocho, there have been a lot of times
coaches have said something,
have done things.
I still got to do
my job. It does not absorb
me of doing my job because
they piss me off.
Man, y'all ain't calling no plays
for me, lad. I ain't running no routes.
Right, right.
I'm with you.
I'm with you right and
you're wrong at the same time. Can I say that?
Okay.
Listen, two things can be true.
Two things can be true,
but I'm still sad with Zach
for the disrespect of what they're doing
and understanding what...
They're disrespecting the Jets with that play!
Alright, I ain't going to say it now. You're right.
I'm going to agree with you. You're right. dumb hot takes here. Just smart hot takes. We'll talk every single game every single week, but I can't do it alone
so I'm bringing in the big guns from NFL
media. That's Patrick Claiborne,
Steve Weiss, Nick Shook,
Jordan Rodrigue from The Athletic, and of
course, Colleen Wolfe. This is their
window right now. This is their Super
Bowl window. Why would
they trade him away?
Because he would be a pivotal part
of them winning that Super Bowl.
I don't know why, Colleen.

Come on, Ocho
You know, what's funny is that
I have a better understanding
You know, when you're younger
When you're younger
You're in your 20s
You know, you're a teenager
I understand the waiting
And understanding the process
And the process of getting to know
But as you get older
You understand, you know,
the gray area, the in-between
and the understanding that
when you meet somebody,
you're meeting a representative
of themselves.
You don't see their true colors
until you've been together
for three or six months
or if they've already gotten
what they wanted to attain from you,
which normally nine times out of ten
if the sex is good,
they're going to be around anyway.
So why not get it out of the way?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, Unc, why not
get it out? Just get it out of the way. As you get older, you don't
want to play that game no more, Unc. I
ain't want to play that game. Real, listen,

Where we going to go to? You want to go eat?
We went to eight. Boom, man, you know,

executive palace. I ain't really trying to spend no money like that. What you trying to do? Sweetie, they got some nice rooms over here in Hialeah, man. $30 rooms, man. At the Executive Palace.

And wash your hands for you
You know, like you're a little kid
You know how the mama
Wash the hand with the little kid

No, you don't have to do that.
I got to do that.
You got to give your...
Listen, I want you to be healthy, baby.
I want you to be around to see 90.
You got to give your immune system practice.
You don't need to...
You can't...
It's okay to be dirty sometimes.
Give your immune system time to practice.
If you always cleaning yourself,
your body ain't getting no practice on the inside.
Come on, now. I don't know
about that one, Ocho. I'm gonna have to get
that one some thought. Hey, I'm, hey,
listen, I'm feeling good. We gonna be on this motherfucker
three hours a night because I'm feeling good.
Ocho, check this out.
Rail's friend, the doctor, just
donated $500 again.
She said, happy holidays.
I'd like to invite you as my plus one to an event hosted by one of your fellow Hall of Fame brethren.
I'm on the board.
I will apprise Rell of the details.
Cheers.
Yes, sir.
That's $2,000.
That's $2,000, boy.
Hey, listen here, Unc.
I ain't never seen nothing like this.
I ain't never, this is what I'm talking about.
Ladies, take notes.
In life, it's okay to be assertive.
When you see something you want, you go for it.
You drop little hints, you drop little dimes,
you do things that get you in the dough.
So in other words, I'm listening to you.
So you like, you like sex on the first date,
the first night,
you good with that?
Huh?
You good with sex on the first date?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting,
if you grown,
what you waiting for?
See, this is the problem.
Now, you sit around here,
wait, let's stay with me now, baby.
You sit around here
and you go through
all these motherfucking
traditional motherfucking values
and morals and all that shit.
You do your little three months and all of a sudden you do it and it's bad.
Then what you going to do?
Now you done wasted three months of your goddamn time.
Waited three months of your goddamn time and now you don't want no more of that bullshit.
I waited three months for this shit.
This whack.
She all off rhythm and you know, she's doing this and like, come on, huh?
It's in people in the chat don't be laughing I know some
of you laughing because you've been through it and you know exactly
what I'm talking about I'm about the first day
I'm about the first night I'm about the first hour
that's too long I ain't got that kind
of time like you said
I'm 55 I don't know how much time
I need to go to get out of here
listen sometimes listen different strokes for different folks right I'm just telling you me I don't know how much time. I need to go to get out of here. Listen, sometimes, listen,
different strokes for different folks.
Right.
I'm just telling you me.
I mean, what's worked for me
as I've gotten old in life
and understanding all that waiting
and all that, you know,
going through all the rigmarole,
it doesn't change the end result
no matter what you do.
It doesn't change the end.
The end result going to be
the end result no matter what.
If I rock with you, it could be the first night, the second night.
If I ain't going to rock with you, I can wait a week.
I can wait a month.
I can make six months.
Yeah.
It is what it is.
Yep.
There's nothing in ladies.
Look, I'm not saying there's anything wrong.
If you want to wait, that's a personal preference.
I'm not here to judge what you do or what you and your partner, the agreement that you guys have or whatever it is.
Like, hey, I need 30 days.
I need 45 days.
I need 60 days.
Right.
Uh-uh.
Listen, you can wait two years.
You can wait one day yeah whatever his intentions are
regards to how long you wait he is going to be there if you are that one real talk real talk
oh oh joe oh joe bc ubc you may see like you may you may you may you make things happen for real
see i was in a situation like I made reservations.
And the place that I made reservations to, it caught fire.
So it was closed.
So I called her.
It caught fire?
Yes.
The restaurant had closed.
So I called her and tell her, say, hey, look, we're not going to be able to go out to eat because the restaurant closed.
Because she's like, why'd they close?
I said, it burned down.
You know what she said to me?
You was lying.
She said, what the F that got to do with me?
She said, you that in, right?
You Shannon Sharp.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
She talk to you like that for real?
She said, you that in, right?
She said, you Shannon Sharp.
You Big Balls McGee.
Nah, that's a liability.
Make it happen.
I'm like, oh, really?
She say, you told me you was that boy dog.
I had to get on the phone.
Because Ocho, I don't like, for me, I don't really like to call establishments and tell people who I am.
I'll go through the proper
channels. I'll call. Can I get a
reservation? If they're booked
up, I'll call.
I'll call and I'll get in another time.
I don't really like to call and
say who I am to try to get in.
I don't really do that.
But, you know, I know a few people.
I made it happen.
Yeah. Good thing I did. Yeah, I don't like people. I made it happen. Yeah.
Good thing I did.
Yeah, I don't like the way she came at you, though.
I like that. I don't like the way she talked to you.
I don't like that.
I like that.
You did?
Yeah.
That was aggressive, though.
Hey, Ocho, you know what I'm telling you?
If it ain't rough, it ain't me.
Okay. Talk to me in a term that I can understand
That passive
Don't be passive aggressive
Tell me what you want
And if I can do it, I'm going to make it happen
If I can't, I'm going to tell you that I can't make it happen
And I ain't got no problem
Telling you what I can or can't do
Right Because I'm a type
of guy, promises are like pie crust, thin and
easily broken. I'm going to make a commitment.
So if I can do it...
Hold on now. Let me write that down.
Now, woman, let me give a pen and paper.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, if you think, boy, if you think
I ain't going to use that one on real,
boy, pie crust... Promises are like pie crust, thin and easily broken. Promises are like pie crust. Yeah, if you think I ain't going to use that one on real. What?
Pie crust?
Promises like pie crust.
Promises like pie crust.
So if I tell you something, I have every intention on being able to deliver that.
Right, right.
So, like I said, talk to me.
I'm not saying be disrespectful.
I like that. I said, talk to me. I'm not saying be disrespectful. But what he was saying is that if you are what you said you were,
what you claim to be,
you got to stand on that.
Yes, I know you can
make it happen.
Right, I like that.
I'm glad
you just said that because the doctor
you listening,
he tell me what you need to do.
Be a little aggressive.
Be a little aggressive. Yeah, there you go.
I like that. I like that
old joke. Despite being married
for 15 years, Cheryl Lee
Ralph is finally moving in with
her husband, Vincent.
At 15 years, the two
have been in a bi-cultural relationship
for 15 years.
Cheryl worked on Abbott Elementary and kept her anchored in L.A.,
while Vincent's responsibilities had him tied to Philadelphia.
But according to a source, regular visits every two weeks is no longer enough.
Cheryl is moving to Philly.
She will travel to L.A. to work.
But the moment the camera stops rolling, she's heading home
to her husband.
Wow.
Wow.
Traditional values
on the way things work
ain't for everybody.
No.
Miss Cheryl Lee Ralph
has been smiling
for 20 plus years.
No issues, no problems.
So she did what works for her.
I think one of the problems that we always have is the traditional values in the way we are constructed to believe things are supposed to go in life.
What society says normally is. It says the socially constructed things,
you try to abide by a certain set of rules
that don't really fit who you are.
Right.
Sometimes they don't fit who you are.
You have to do what works for you.
And I think that's where people make the mistake
in trying to abide by those rules
when they really don't align
with your traditional values
or whatever your values may be.
Right.
And that is,
this is a prime example.
Well, fuck what they talk about
how it should go.
We going to do what work for us.
And I think that's why
she's been so happy for so long.
And the timing of when
they decided to move in,
it works for them.
We need more time with each other.
Yeah.
Every two,
the once every other week,
either I come to,
either I come to Philly or you come to L.A., that's no longer sustainable.
You need more.
I need more.
So now we have a meeting of the mind. You know, a contract used to be a meeting of the minds.
Ocho, you know what?
There was no contract where you signed something.
We had a meeting of the mind.
Okay, Ocho, I tell you what.
contract when you sign something, we have a meeting of the mind. Okay, so I tell you what,
I'm going to deliver you a dozen eggs and two pounds of cheese. And when you slaughter your hog, you're going to give me a shoulder or you're going to give me some grain. Okay,
that was the contract. Somewhere along the lines, you got what you were supposed to get,
but didn't give me what I was supposed to get. And so now there was no longer a meeting of the minds.
So now we got to put things on an eight by 10.
We got to have a contract that says,
okay,
you're going to deliver the pound of cheese and you're going to deliver the
egg and shit.
And in return,
you're going to get this.
So the contract that they had with each other and you know what,
Ocho,
it was able to be amended
on the fly.
Because when you go into, what am I getting
into?
Who is this person? Well, you know
she was an actress.
You know he had responsibilities in Philly,
but you decided to tie the knot.
Okay. And before that,
they had it like, okay, so what's going to be
the agreement? Am I going to stay in LA? You stay in Philly. We commute. And that worked for them for 15 years.
Right. Right.
Hell, I know people get married and they don't, I mean, they don't sleep in the same bed.
Yeah.
But that worked for them.
I wonder, you know, I should try that. What do you think about...
Nah, because you and Real done been living together
because she's going to think something up
because anytime you change,
that sets off a person's antenna.
Right, right, right.
I can't change my routine, huh?
You start wearing different colognes.
She starts wearing different colognes.
All of a sudden, she start wearing, you know,
she normally wear, you know,
nice French cuck boy shorts and all of a sudden, she starts wearing, you know, she normally wears, you know, nice French cut boy
shorts, and all of a sudden, she's wearing thong
underwear. Oh, shit.
She ain't wearing no one. Hold on.
Hold on, honey. All of a sudden,
she starts working out. My grandfather
used to say, my grandfather used to say,
hey, boy, if a woman starts working out all of a sudden,
she's getting the body ready for somebody
else to feel naked. I'm just saying,
that's what he's saying. Oh, shit.
That's all I'm saying.
Uh-huh, but let me call her right now.
I ain't got, I don't like the way that sounds.
She wants somebody else to see what her body look like
without them clothes.
Oh, well, that right there make me sick.
That make me sick to my stomach.
No, Ocho, but the thing is that you know,
you know you've been with her long enough and just that
that's that's why women that's why you know women can catch a guy because all of a sudden
you start doing something different than what you've done from the day she met you
and she's gonna see pattern right right right right right right it's hard that's why we are
animals we're instinctive and we'll do the same thing that's why elephants are animals. We're instinctive. And we'll do the same thing.
That's why elephants know they know where to go to the water.
Yeah, that too.
Humans, you try to break it,
but you have a modus operandi.
You have a method in which you operate.
Operate, yeah.
And mine has never changed for years.
For years.
So you already know when I'm acting a fool,
when my routine changes.
I do the same things
over and over and over.
And if that pattern changes
or it sways just a little bit,
I'm up to no good.
And she knows that.
That's good.
But really quick
before you even finish,
a lot of the people,
a lot of the women,
especially a lot of the fellas too,
the context of the Shirley, the lot of the women, especially a lot of the fellas too, the context of the Shirley,
the Shirley,
Shirley Ralph,
Shirley Ralph,
and them doing what works for them.
I need most of you,
all of you that are watching and listening,
stop trying to abide by the rules
that they have.
I'm not going to say brainwashed,
that they have constructed for us to live by.
Because sometimes that might not work for you.
It might not work for you. It might not work for you.
You find a final partner,
find your one,
or find somebody
you're willing to spend time with,
even if it ain't for the long haul,
whoever you're spending your time with.
Do what works for you.
Right.
Do what works for you
because obviously
the way they tell us
it should be done,
it ain't working
because if you look at statistics,
it ain't looking too good.
Well, considering the average marriage in the U.S., they said a study, I think it was 2022 or 2023, the average marriage is about seven to eight years.
So they've already doubled that with 15.
So, but Ed, keep people out your business.
Stop telling your girlfriends everything.
Stop telling your family everything.

Oxford pick Riz as the word of the year.
Oxford University Press now has named Riz as its word of the year,
highlighting the popularity of the term used by Generation Z
to describe someone's ability to attract or seduce another person.
Oh, so you got that Riz, huh?
You got that Riz, huh? You got that Riz, huh?
Riz?
R-I-Z-Z.
What that mean?
That something new?
It's the ability to attract
or seduce another person.
Okay.
Okay, I like that.
The ability to seduce
or attract another person.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought that was swag.
Yeah.
Well, you know, that was a...
What are they called?
Hold on.
What did you talk about?
Charm.
Charm.
Let me see.
Fridge.
The ability to attract.
Yeah, mostly.
I mean, when it comes to women,
women like a guy that carries himself
a certain way.
They like confidence.
They like a sense of humor.
Yeah, that's swag.
That's all a part of...
Women like...
Women like...
Women like men
that can make them laugh.
Like a confident man
that can make them laugh.
If you confident
and can make a man laugh
or make a woman laugh...
Make a woman laugh.
Yeah.
Yeah, laugh right up
at them clothes.
Laugh right up at them.... Laughing right up at them clothes.
Easy.
Boy, you so crazy.
Boy, you funny.
Okay.
Yeah.
You know, I keep my five or six over Ocho.
I just keep five or six handy just in case.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, keep them coming.
Fan questions.
Uncultured Jazz.
Hey, Uncle Ocho, outside of normal things,
what are some of the more unrecognized things
you guys go through throughout the season?
Throughout the season?
Unrecognized?
Yeah.
Shoot, I don't really go through nothing
throughout the season.
I just think it's just the normal responsibility i i think the thing is for me is that the amount of responsibility as the of the head of everything you know right my family
i'm in charge okay when they need something i'm the guy and that's why i work so hard excuse me because i
have so many people counting on me and i don't want to let anybody down damn i'm good but i got
i got kids i got my brother my sister my mom i've got other people other responsibilities now i got
a team that's counting on me right to show up and to do what I need to do to make sure they get their paychecks twice a month, that everybody's bills are taken care of.
So I just think the thing for me is that, and it's something that I relish, is that I think every person that I've been with probably over the last 15 years have pretty much told me the same thing.
I don't know if a relationship is the most important thing to you. I think work and your
responsibility that comes along with that is the most important. So I've tried to try to like,
okay, yeah, work is important. People are counting on me. But let me, because I'm not good at multitasking.
You know, like a lot of women can do a hundred things.
They can have the baby.
They can be on the computer ordering this.
They can be doing the stuff that you've asked them to do.
I can't do any of that.
I got a singular focus.
Right.
Now that you've answered that and given me better context
on the question that he asked
because it was it was kind of just really wasn't enough context in it but the way you answered it
i mean it's similar to the same as far as in season things i have to do but it's such a routine
that i do out of season as well right and i don't even count it you know you know i mean it ain't
no season it ain't no season. It ain't no season.
It's something that,
it's a yearly thing.
It's a year-round thing and it has been for years
because I'm used to it,
obviously,
kids being important,
kids, tuition,
those that are in school,
the little ones,
obviously,
you know,
kids in high school.
So, it's kind of different.
So, that's why I said,
as soon as the question was asked,
what else do you have to go through
during, you know,
you know, end season? I'm like, shit, nothing do you have to go through during, you know, end season?
Like, shit, nothing.
Because all I got to do is, you know, just be prepared for work.
Because everything else outside of that is something that goes on year round for me.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, and when I had the surgery, you know, I had back-to-back hip replacement surgeries.
And so now I got to focus, you know, hey, you got to get back on your feet ASAP.
And to make sure that you're
still able to do what you need to do because i i'm not an excuse guy either hey you do what you
i i got responsibilities i don't do excuses and i think my grandmother my grandfather that's how
they raised me we don't make excuses you get the job done yeah and then you don't complain about
that you had to do it and so for me that's what i've always done i've always you don't complain about that you had to do it. And so for me, that's what
I've always done. I've always, you know,
and I have a
special fondness to people
that have such responsibility
and do it every day
with a smile on their face.
Yeah.
Third, I woke ass. Ocho
and Shannon, what are your thoughts on Vontaze
Burfik? How he played the game and the ending of his career.
And also, Ocho, can you tell us about the character behind the closed doors
and who he was as a person?
I was gone when Vontaze got into the league.
So I was long gone.
So all I can tell you from what I saw from a distance,
you can explain to him because you were on the roster when he got there.
No, no, no.
I was gone too going to yeah Vontaze is the AJ Green Andy Dalton era oh okay okay okay listen but he he's supposed
to been playing during your era he would have been Vontaze Burfield was perfect for your era
right you know or more so the era I played in where you could actually
play like that.
Right.
You know,
it's football.
Right.
Originally,
you think about football,
you think about middle linebackers
and
playing no games
when it came to playing
the game of football.
That is,
that's who Vontaze Burford was.
It wasn't accepted,
obviously,
once the rules came into place,
came into play
and protecting players
and head injuries
and CT and all that stuff.
But I like him.
I like him.
I like the way he played the game.
Barnboy asked me, your knee was down at the one-yard line on 11-16-03 against the Chargers.
How many touchdowns do you think would have been overturned if today's replay was in effect when you played?
They had replay when I played.
The Chargers could have challenged it and said it wasn't a touchdown.
I mean, I don't know what you want me to do.
I was supposed to jump up to the official.
Hey, man, you know I'm on the one yard line.
There ain't no touchdown.
Mark me down at the one.
If they didn't think it was a touchdown, they could have challenged it.
Right.
If they didn't think it was a touchdown,
they could have challenged it.
Right.
So I,
I, I,
I look,
I know when I say I played in the nineties,
but there was replay.
I don't know.
It wasn't y'all make it seem like I played with,
with a black and white TV.
Like they will feel me.
Like they will feel me on the sideline.
Like this.
Oh,
Joe. What? I understand. I mean, I understand. Like they would feel me on the sideline like this. Oh, Joe, what the hell?
I mean, I understand.
I'm 55, but I
did play. I would be considered
a modern day player.
Any player that happened
after the common draft, which
I think is like 1966,
is considered a modern player.
So I think they would consider me a modern player.
Uncle Ocho,
Jared asked,
Uncle Ocho, love the show.
Uncle, do you think you could do 225
for more refs than Ocho could do 185?
Do you think you could do 225 on the bench
for more refs than Ocho could do 185?
Yes.
Why would he discredit me and put me at 185 when I could do 185. Why would he discredit me
and put me at 185
when I could do 225 as well?
What is he trying to say?
But you're only going to do it for one rep.
So he's trying to give you an advantage.
225?
I could do 225 27 times.
What are you talking about?
Ocho, I tell you what I'd be willing to do.
I put up a million dollars
and say you can't do 25 to 227.
Oh, you're going to run me my money Oh, you going to run me my money?
You going to run me my money?
No chance.
This is what people fail to do.
People always have an eye test.
People always use the visual.
Listen to me.
Stay with me now, baby.
People always use the visual
and look at something
and say...
You got a t-shirt on?
You got a t-shirt on?
You got a t-shirt on
up under that?
Because his frame is small.
You got a t-shirt...
He shouldn't be able to do this.
You got a t-shirt on up under that? Because his frame is small. You got a t-shirt. He shouldn't be able to do this. You got a t-shirt on up under that?
Yeah.
Take that off.
Let me show the people.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, y'all ladies don't be looking at me now.
Yeah.
Yeah, let me come up out this thing.
Let me come up out this thing. Let me come up out this thing.
Yeah, you see that?
Look at that.
I do.
Look at that.
I do.
I just look like this.
I just look like this.
I have a small frame, but I'm strong.
You ain't doing no 225, no 27 reps.
How you going to tell me that I've done it?
I've done 225 27 times.
No.
I just look like this.
Pull up, Ocho.
I'll tell you what we can do.
We can pull up what you did at the Combine.
Pull up Ocho.
What is the Combine?
What the Combine ain't got nothing to do with it.
You talking about right now.
Ocho, first of all,
this is how I know you can't do 227.
Because when you went to the Combine,
that was your...
Hold on.
I didn't even lift.
Let me finish.
Let me finish.
The Combine was when you're on the job interview.
You're going to be at your absolute best.
You're going to be at your fastest.
You're going to be at your best because that's the job interview.
You don't even lift like that anymore.
I'm not so sure you can do 225 five times.
I didn't even lift weights at the combine.
All I needed to do was run my 40
and run routes.
Once they saw my routes,
that was it.
That sealed the deal.
That's how I know
you can't do 225, 27 reps.
I'm talking about now.
I'm talking about now.
Now, if you said
you do 185 like 10 times,
I said,
Ocho, you might get that.
No, no, no.
You might get that.
I'm very strong
despite my frame.
I am extremely strong.
So,
if you want to put that million dollars,
make sure you stand on business
by that million dollars too.
I'm going to do a video
when I get back to Miami.
No, you're not doing no video.
I'm going to be there.
Bring your million with you.
I don't need no video.
I need to be there.
I don't need no video.
I don't need no video.
Wait, wait.
No, no.
What are you bringing here?
Huh?
I'm a video.
I don't need no video.
I don't need no video. I'm going to be right there in your presence. I'm going to video it. I don't need no video. I don't need no video.
I'm going to be right there in your presence.
I'm going to bring a million dollar cash.
You bring yours.
We put it right there.
Wait, what I'm taking a million out for?
Because you're going to put, you bet me a million.
Nah, you said you bet, you bet the money, you bet the money.
Put up.
I'm putting up a million, you put up a million.
So I'm walking away with two million.
You walking away with two million. You're walking away with two million.
You know what?
I'm a million for me and a million for Rel.
You know, we appreciate that.
Happy holidays.
Yeah.
Well, tell Rel to put up a million, too,
because I got to cover her, too.
So it's two million.
I like that.
Yeah, I like that, too.
It's cold in Philly, man.
I might find, hey, with two million, with two million dollars, I might find
me somebody then, Ocho.
You already got somebody. She done donated you $2,000.
Hey,
well, guess what? Her friend about to donate
me a million. Her friend in the hub about
to donate me two million.
So I'm about to have two million, two thousand.
Hey, it's cold. It's cold
It's cold
Hey I can turn the heat on in the room

At the front desk
Room truck incidentals

Oh, okay, okay.
Because, you know, in Philly, it's 40 degrees.
That's why I got the jacket on here.
But I ain't want to turn the heat on because I thought it charged my credit card.
No.
No.
It won't charge your credit card.
Okay, let me turn the heat on then so I can take the damn jacket off.

you don't know how much Ocho and I really
appreciate this because you've gotten us grown
a lot faster than we even expected.
We expected to be, excuse me,
we kind of expected to hit
the numbers that we are now
somewhere around March, April,
maybe even June.
But to be able to do this
in about two months time,
we greatly appreciate that.
It lets us know that we're heading
in the right direction.
But we still, wherever you listen to Nightcap at, wherever you watch us, leave your reviews.
Let us know what you think.
Would you like us to talk more about something else?
Would you like us not to do this?
Would you like us not to do that?
Because at the end of the day, it's about yeah, we try to come up with topics and obviously
the sports speak for themselves. The games
speak for themselves. We're going to offer you
our analysis of what we thought about the game.
But when you start going off
topic of sports,
it's kind of like what you guys want
to hear. What would you like for us to talk about?
What would you like to hear our opinions on?
And so how similar
are our opinions to yours?
And where do we differ?
You agree with Ocho, you agree with me,
you agree with both of us.
Maybe there's a combination.
I get what Ocho is saying,
but I kind of agree with Shannon.
I kind of get what Shannon was saying,
but I kind of agree with Ocho.
But that's what this is about.
This is about what you would like for us to talk about.
How would you like for us to go about this?
So make sure you click that like button
and hit that subscribe button
so anytime that Unc and Ocho go live,
you'll get a notification to know we're about to do this.
We've also pinned Shea by La Portia at the top of the link
with the holidays right around the corner.
We got Christmas, we got New Year,
and I know we got some birthdays.
So make sure you go get yourself one for someone
special. A bottle of Shea, bottle of Portier.
Ocho, what else you got to talk about? We got to get
ready. Ooh, man, it's 1 o'clock.
Yeah, I don't know. I got
inside the NFL tomorrow morning. What you got?
First take tomorrow? I got first take tomorrow.
I got first take. Okay. I'm trying
to think what else. And I got
a six-hour flight back to L.A.
Wait, where you at?
I'm in NYC.
Oh, you right down...
We could have did the show from the same room.
I'm in Jersey.
Man, I had a busy day today, Ocho.
I had a...
I did my podcast.
I did Club Shea Shea.
I shot somebody today up here.
Who you had?
Oh, you can't say who it was?
It's a secret.
But I think it's going to be a great one.
I got a couple. I got a couple
coming out over
the next month. It's going to blow some
people away because these people
hadn't done an interview in a very long time
and they shared some stories.
I'm not so sure anybody's ever heard.
So I'm anxious to hear
how
people receive the guys
that I'm having on. And still got i'm still i'm
still shooting but like i said i got three or four three or four people that people are gonna be
surprised like hey he on club shea shea oh dude yeah you know oh hey like that yeah man i'll be
trying to get that thing in so thank you for joining another episode of Club Shae Shae of Nightcap with Uncle Ocho.
I'm your favorite sports uncle, Shannon Sharp.
He's your favorite number 85.
He's so proud.
He's so happy his team went on the road without Joey B and got a hard-fought victory in overtime, 34-31.
Jake Browning was really, really good tonight, 32-37, 354 and a touchdown.
Trevor Lawrence suffers a nasty ankle injury.
We don't know the extent or if he
will, but it looks like he might
miss some time, Ocho, which will
be very, very costly for the Jags
because they have the lead in the
AFC South, but the
Texans are
right on their heels. And when the way
C.J. Stroud is playing and the way D'Amico Ryans
have them playing as a team,
I would not be surprised
if Trevor Lawrence is out
for any significant period of time
if the Houston Texans doesn't overtake them
and end up winning that division,
which would be a huge accomplishment,
which now D'Amico Ryans
must be a unanimous coach of the year
and C.J. Stroud,
even though Puka Nakua is having an unbelievable season.
But 20-5 with the numbers that he's putting up,
and I think C.J. might be in top five in passing yards.
Crazy.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
