Chief fans?
49er fans?
49ers fans?
49ers fans?
All right.
All right.
If you're a gambling man, bet on the Chiefs, 38-28.
Well, you made some wages. We're get in that a little later you made some wages of some things that you're gonna give
Up yeah, which I don't believe you could go up any of those things for like two days
Let alone for a whole year, but we'll talk about that a little later. You finally made your appearance on first take
How you pull that how you pull that off?
I just showed up.
Hey, can y'all, you know what?
I've been begging to go on first take
for about three, four months.
About three, four months?
Yes.
Something like that?
Yes.
Can y'all please give Shannon a round of applause
for letting his little brother come on first take, please?
And all I needed was to get my foot in the door.
To get my foot in the door,
because I know he had no idea what Ocho would show up.
But I know how to conduct myself.
Because that is Disney.
That's Disney.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know you can't curse.
You know, and I'm not going to embarrass you.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
I'm not going to embarrass us.
And I enjoyed it.
So that's like the first step.
The next step is get me on there part time.
Right.
Right.
So I'm working my way in the door.
I got one foot in. You want to be a contributor. No, no, no, no, no,. Right. Right, so I'm working my way into the door.
I got one foot in.
You want to be a contributor?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm trying, I'm trying.
Like it's like three amigos, me, you, and Steven Akin,
like take this shit over.
Yeah, I'm telling you.
The ratings gonna like just...
You see, so in other words,
you see I'm on two days, right?
Right.
So how do you feel that you gonna come on
and get five days and I got two? No, I don't want to be today that's why I say you
want to be a contributor that's what I'm doing okay okay too okay that's still
what a contributor is okay yes I won't long my foot in the dough so so so what
do you think I enjoyed it I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it.
I wasn't nervous because, you know, I'm used to talking.
Questions were good.
Obviously, it was very comfortable for me.
Right.
One of the problems that I probably would have is it was easy just to talk football.
I didn't have to be critical and analytical of anybody.
Right.
Now, that's something that I need to work on, something that you and Steven Ayer really
do that.
And I really hate chastising players.
You know how I am.
You get on too many all the time.
So if it's something that I want to do, I would have to get better in that area.
As far as talking basketball, talking football, talking players, I'm set.
You're good on that.
I'm good on that.
Now I'm just trying to figure out how you fool the media.
I mean, the media is so gullible.
You tweeted out something yesterday that you had signed with that you were going to sign
with.
You said you were going to sign with the media.
I'm not going to sign with the media.
I'm going to sign with the media.
I'm going to sign with the media.
I'm going to sign with the media.
I'm going to sign with the media.
I'm going to sign with the media. I'm going to sign with the media. I'm going to sign with the media. I'm going to sign with the media. I'm good on that. Now, I'm just trying to figure out how you fooled the media.
I mean, the media is so gullible.
You tweeted out something yesterday that you had signed with that you were going to be a coach for the Raiders.
I am.
And they bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Yeah.
Oh.
You losing me?
Yeah.
That's what she said.
So, how did you become a Raiders coach?
So what position are you coaching?
I'm interim coach.
You're interim coach.
I'm interim coach.
What position?
Assistant wide receiver head coach to the head coach.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So Marvin is the assistant head coach.
Right, right.
AP is the head coach.
Right.
So you're the assistant to Marvin.
I'm the assistant to the assistant of the head coach or the receiver coach. Oh, right. AP is the head coach. Right. So you're the assistant to Marvin. I'm the assistant to the assistant of the head coach of the receiver coach.
Oh.
Yeah.
A newly created position.
Yeah, they do that all the time.
They do that all the time.
It's called the buddy system.
Buddy system.
So I had dinner with Antonio Pierce and some other folks.
Some other folks.
And I talked to Antonio and I asked him like listen I have 38
jobs right now I'm looking to diversify my portfolio right build my resume and
will help me get other jobs based on what I'm doing so being a part of your
staff would only further help me get where I'm trying to go and he said no
problem so I tweeted out a picture with me and Antonio Pierce and I said I'm
finally out of position as a coach with the Raiders.
Right.
And he tweeted right behind me and said, I can't wait to have you coaching up 17, and that's Devontae Adams.
So because he retweeted it and basically made it true, I'm a coach.
Now, we haven't talked logistics and money and all that.
How do you take a job and not understand finance?
They might pay you a dollar a day.
Listen, that dollar's going to be worth it.
Opportunity.
As long as I get my foot in the door.
Like today, I was on first take.
I ain't worried about no money.
Once I get my foot in the door, I'm good.
How about this?
I was worried about you saying something crazy because like you said, you had your foot in
the door.
I was going to shut the door on your foot if you said something crazy.
No, no, no, no, no.
I ain't going to do that.
Listen, there's one thing about it like you consider me your
little brother if you give me an opportunity i'm not gonna embarrass you no i don't i think the
only reason you you wasn't trying to it wasn't me i was worried about it was rail right rail
was there you were gonna embarrass rail yeah that too see if rail ain't there could be like
sometime when rail in the bed sleeping yeah you and I be talking about still Rell don't know about. Yeah, she ain't.
Oh, my bad, my bad.
She here somewhere.
Where Rell at?
She here somewhere.
Yeah, there she go.
Where she at? I just playing Rell.
She ain't got no seat in the front?
Rell, you don't have a seat?
Hold on.
Oh, no.
I mean, maybe for the last 10, 15 minutes of the show,
you can sit over there on the couch.
You can join us up on the stage.
So check this out, Ocho.
Yeah.
You said you were so confident
that the Chiefs are going to win this game.
Absolutely.
You said if they don't win,
you'll give up eating McDonald's for one year.
That's easy.
You'll divorce Rale.
That's true.
And give up sex for the rest of the year.
I got a hand.
You got a hand?
How many cards you got?
Huh?
You playing spades?
No, I ain't playing spades.
I'm just saying I got a hand.
I don't believe you're giving up any of that, first of all.
Actually, I think the hardest thing for you to give up would be McDonald's.
I can do it. You can's. I can do it.
You can't. I can do it. You cannot.
There's something I have that's called discipline.
Discipline, and that's the best
trait, the best asset I do have, so if I
had to give up McDonald's. Listen, for one,
the chief's not losing. Let's start there.
I know. I've seen the
script. Ash, put it in the poll. How many
people believe Ocho could give up McDonald's
for one year? Put it in the poll. We're going to put a poll. Okay, forget McDonald's. What about
sex? I believe you have a better chance of giving up sex than McDonald's. That's how I know you
don't know me. Real. You addicted to both of them. No, no. Watch this. Real. I made her wait two
years before she even got none. I promise. I made her wait two years. she even got none. I promise.
I made her wait two years.
That's my point.
Right.
You ever waited two years before you ate McDonald's?
No, but.
Exactly.
But we, it was three things.
It was three different things.
No, you got to give up.
Hold on.
You said you'll give up eating McDonald's.
And I'll give up sex.
And give up sex for the rest of your life.
That's three things.
Right.
But I've done all three before.
Not in the same year.
Actually, it was.
Man, you ain't gone three days without eating McDonald's.
I'm telling you, man.
I'm telling you.
What's the longest you've ever gone without McDonald's?
For real?
No, for play.
Yeah, for real.
I tried to be Muslim once.
So I was Muslim.
I was reading the Quran.
They have fish filet at McDonald's
French fries
Milkshakes
I couldn't, I had to change my diet
Because I was Muslim
Muslims eat fish
Not that kind of fish
What you mean with that kind of fish
No, Muslims eat salmon
They eat fish
That ain't what Farrakhan told me.
I'm
telling you. I did it for six months, but I couldn't take it.
I couldn't take it no more. So, hold on.
You couldn't take that, but you're going to take giving them McDonald's
for a whole year. You couldn't take that.
You couldn't do that for a year, but you're going to give them six.
The Chiefs are not losing.
And the fact that you're even betting
against Patrick Mahomes is asinine.
You bet against Patrick Mahomes against the Ravens.
Remember?
No, that's because I believe in Lamar.
And that's because it's home team.
You know, Lamar from down the street in Pompano.
So I'm like, I'm a root for home team.
But I had my heart was with Lamar.
Logically, I was with the Chiefs.
Well, you should have said that.
You should have said my heart is with Lamar.
I didn't want to say that.
I wanted to say it how I said it.
And you were wrong.
And you're going to be wrong with this.
Oh, let's bet.
Put your money where your mouth is.
Real, what do you think you could give up?
McDonald's.
You think you could give up McDonald's?
Thank you.
God damn, Real, you in trouble then.
I'm telling you, I could do it.
I could do it. I don't believe it, Ocho.
I'm just saying I don't believe it. You didn't believe I could go on first take and do what I did.
You already had to put on first take, Ocho.
That was 10 years ago. But you were on
first take. Nah, I'm on that now,
though. I'm on that now.
I'm a foot in the door. That's all I needed.
NFL honors.
We have some awards passed out.
Lamar Jackson was the MVP.
Christian McCaffrey.
Go ahead and applaud.
Christian McCaffrey was Offensive Player of the Year.
Miles Garrett won Defensive Player of the Year.
CJ Stroud, the Houston Texan, was Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Will Anderson Jr., Defensive Rookie of the Year, also from the Texans.
The Coach of the Year was Kevin Stefanski.
And Comeback Player of the Year was Joe Flacco.
Of all the awards, what's your biggest surprise?
Biggest surprise.
Joe Flacco.
Comeback Player of the Year.
Yeah, Comeback Player of the Year.
Obviously, Joe, he came in and replaced of injured Deshaun Watson.
He only came back from being old.
It wasn't nothing wrong with him.
That too.
He came back.
He played good football.
He played good football.
He made the Cleveland Browns look different.
It looked different.
But all year long, I kept hearing DeMar Hamlin.
Yes.
DeMar Hamlin.
DeMar Hamlin.
And, you know, there were some games where he didn't play,
but I just thought comeback player of the year would have been him.
Someone that almost passed away.
The man almost died.
Almost died.
So being able to even play this year.
Just to put a helmet on.
Put a helmet on.
He's the one comeback player of the year.
Yeah.
For me, I'm going to go Kevin Stefanski.
Why?
Because the Cleveland Browns were picked to be a playoff team
even though
Deshaun went out
and they played
with probably
three or four quarterbacks.
But what D'Amico Ryan did
with the Houston Texans,
a rookie head coach,
a rookie quarterback,
win 10 games,
win the division,
for me,
I think that's
the biggest surprise.
And a playoff game.
And won a playoff game,
absolutely.
If you want to say
defensive play, I was a little surprised that Miles Garrett,
considering he finished seventh in sacks, I thought probably T.J. Watt.
Because he's the first player to leave the league in sacks three times.
Three times, yeah.
But I think there might have been some other factors and other variables
that they considered when it came to picking the defensive player of the year.
I don't know what they are.
Obviously, I'm sure it's more than just obviously sack total,
which is why he won it.
Right.
Yeah, Cleveland's defense, I think defensive efficiency,
they were number one.
But Miles had an outstanding year.
Congratulations to all the guys that won.
It's a huge honor.
Lamar Jackson, a two-time league MVP,
a all-pro player, three-time Pro Bowl player, and he's only 27 years of age.
I have a question.
Are you going to hold Lamar Jackson to an even higher standard
now that he's a two-time MVP?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And everybody should.
You can't say this.
Now, really, you have to hold him to the standards that you hold
a Patrick Mahomes, that you hold an Aaron Rodgers,
that you hold a Tom Brady, a Peyton Manning, those guys.
Because there are not very many guys that can say, I have two MVPs.
He has two.
He's led the league in passing.
He's been an all-pro.
So why should we hold him to any different standard than we held the all-time greats?
Because that's the class that he's in now currently.
Ocho?
Okay, I got you.
I'm just curious.
I'm just making a show, so I'll be ready for next year.
No, the question is not whether I'm going to.
The question is whether are you going to.
Yeah, of course I'm going to.
But a quarterback is only good at supporting cast.
So as long as those pieces are around, I'm just telling you.
You see what we're doing now?
You see what we already started.
No, no, no.
I'm just saying.
It is true.
A quarterback is only good at supporting cast.
So who had the better supporting cast?
The better supporting cast.
Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes?
Patrick Mahomes.
So that's not what you said.
That's not what you said on night camp.
For real?
You said offensively.
Oh, you forget?
What about Zay Flowers?
And Bateman.
And likely.
And that running game.
And that offense last.
We talk about Patrick Mahomes.
You definitely cannot compete with two quarterbacks.
I thought we was holding Lamar to the same standard we're holding Patrick Mahomes.
We are.
We are.
He just wasn't able to come to shortcomings.
I just asked you a simple question.
Okay.
And see, now you're waffling already.
So you're not going to hold Lamar to that same standard.
I'm holding him to the same standard.
Can we start that next year?
When the next season starts.
He had that talent this year.
We knew he was going to win the MVP going into that game.
Did we not?
You said he's going to be the MVP.
Why did they lose the game?
Huh?
Why did they lose the playoff game?
Lamar didn't play well, and it's okay to say that.
Okay.
Did he play well?
He had some mistakes.
He had some mistakes. I'm well? He had some mistakes. He had some mistakes.
I'm just saying he had some mistakes.
Did he play well?
He didn't play well, but there was some.
That's all you have to say.
Wait, let me finish.
Okay.
There was some other factors that went into them losing that game.
There was a fumble.
Who fumbled the ball?
There was a strip sack.
Who did that?
Zay trying to cross the line.
Okay, who had that strip sack?
Left tackle got beat.
Who had the ball?
He held the ball a little bit too long.
Okay, the interception and the triple coverage.
Who threw that one?
To likely, he threw that.
Who is he?
I don't know who he is.
Lamar.
Okay, well, who lost the ball in the strip sack?
The left tackle's fault.
Oh, now we...
It's the left tackle.
Listen, we can't blame it on one person.
For one, the play call was bad.
We did with Dak.
When the Cowboys lose, we blame Dak.
When Buffalo lose, we blame Josh Allen.
But now, I noticed this with you and a lot of fans out there,
that every time the Ravens lose, we blame everybody else except Lamar.
Now, actually, when any team loses,
I place the blame on everybody that's responsible for it.
Well, who gets the most
of the credit when they win?
Everybody or the quarterback?
The head coach.
Don't do that.
The head coach.
Don't do that.
You don't think so?
Don't do that.
You don't think?
I'm just asking.
When a team wins,
who gets the credit?
The head coach?
The quarterback gets the credit.
All right.
Why you do that?
I'm just telling you.
From what I saw, from what I see on TV, when teams win, they talk about the quarterback,
but it's also the head coach and what he's done for the team.
Really?
The Houston Texans.
CJ Stroud had a great year.
Who gets all the credit?
CJ Stroud.
D'Amico Ryans.
CJ.
All right.
You watching a different TV.
You know, first of all, without a quarterback, it doesn't matter who the quarterback is.
Okay, Coach Belichick.
How much credit did he get this year?
Who?
If it's all about the head coach, if Belichick got six championships.
Yeah.
Okay, so why didn't he win this year?
He didn't have a quarterback.
He didn't have a quarterback.
He didn't have a quarterback.
But you just said it's the head coach.
Let me ask you a question. Ask me one. If you got a car, right? Yes. But she ain't got a quarterback But you just said it's the head coach Let me ask you a question
If you got a car right
But you ain't got no goddamn steering wheel
Where you going?
If you got a car
But you ain't got no motherfucking steering wheel
Where you going?
What kind of car I'm driving?
Come on man
If I got a smart car I can go anywhere I want to
Cause I'm using my feet anyway
Don't do that You got a smart car, I can go anywhere I want to because I'm using my feet anyway.
Don't do that.
Oh, my bad.
You got a smart car.
My bad.
My bad, Ocho.
No, but you know what I'm saying.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying.
I hate the fact that quarterbacks obviously get held to a different standard.
Yes. It's not fair because, again, a quarterback is only good as a supporting cast.
Can I ask you?
Some quarterbacks are really great, and they can overcome having a lack of talent around them.
Right.
One of those being Patrick Mahomes.
They were fucking—oh, I'm sorry.
I curse.
My bad.
They were horrible all year.
Yes.
The receivers led the NFL in drops.
Yes.
What happened?
Patrick Mahomes found a way to overcome the lack of—
He stopped turning the ball over, too, because remember, in three playoff games, he doesn't have a turnover. Yeah. So he of turning the ball over too because remember in three playoff games he doesn't have a turnover yeah so he stopped turning the ball over also yeah so we can't just
say the receivers were dropping the ball Patrick Mahomes played at a level that we weren't accustomed
to seeing him play at either which was very poor but now we got to judge Patrick Mahomes on Patrick
Mahomes right not against anybody else because if you judge him against anybody else in the league
you're gonna say man he had a pretty good season right but if you judge him Against anybody else In the league You're going to say Man he had a pretty good season Right
But when you judge him
Against Patrick Mahomes
That's how you got to
Judge Lamar now
Right
You got to judge Lamar
Against Lamar Jackson
Not against other quarterbacks
You got to judge him
As a two time league MVP
A two time all pro player
Right
Okay
I got you
I'm with you
We on the same page
Okay
We on the same page
I just want to make sure
We on the same page
In the same book though Yeah Same book same page. Okay. We on the same page. I just want to make sure we on the same page in the same book, though.
Yeah, same book, same page.
Mahomes said, she's okay being the villains. It's a price of winning.
Mahomes says, I think just like winning, if you win a lot and that causes you to be a villain, then I'm okay with it.
But at the end of the day, I'm going to enjoy playing the game and try to win as much as possible.
You agree with what he said?
Absolutely.
People hate
consistency. People hate
consistency when it comes to
teams that you don't like and not a fan
of and they constantly win all the time.
The Patriots went through the same thing.
Small example. I'm going to just take boxing
for instance. Floyd.
Everybody loved when Floyd was winning early
in his career. But when he kept winning
he became the villain. And then everybody paying in and early in his career. Yes. But when he kept winning, he became the villain.
Yes.
And then everybody paying in and tuning in to see him lose.
Right.
That's it.
He became the villain, not that he wanted to, but it's the fact that he kept winning consistently.
Now the Chiefs are in the same boat.
Yes, that's how it happens because we love Tom Brady.
Oh!
T-Pain, what's up, bro?
No, no, no. Come on, up, bro? No, no, no.
Come on, have a seat.
No, no, no.
Have a seat.
Have a seat.

So, okay, we ask everybody, I mean, we kind of 50-50 Chiefs, 49ers.
Who do you like for the season?
You know what, man?
You know, everybody always asks me who my favorite team is,
and I've done a lot of halftime shows,
so it's kind of whoever paying me for the week.
I mean, at this juncture, man, you know,
I hate to base it off of my relationships,
but I do know Taylor Swift personally, so I got to kind of...
You go with the Chiefs?
I don't want to, but it's, you know, all that money in them boxes up there.
You want to stick around the checks, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
I just don't want to weigh my own.
I don't want to outweigh my chances.
Right.
But, you know, hey, man, good luck to everybody,
but at the same time, only one of them have paid me so far.
What happened?
I'm going to ask you this.
There have been a lot of fans are upset.
They say they show Taylor too much and not focus on what's going on the field.
What do you think about that?
Are they showing Taylor too much?
I think they show celebrities the same amount.
I think they show Jack Nicholson a lot.
They used to.
I think they show Spike Lee a lot. Anybody that show up, I think they show Jack Nicholson a lot. They used to. I think they show Spike Lee a lot.
Yeah, yeah.
Anybody that show up, I think they show Lil Wayne a lot.
I think, you know, but you know, it's a white lady.
So, you know, everybody goes.
You're going to get noticed a little easier.
So are you doing, are you performing or are you in town for the Super Bowl?
Well, I'll start my residency tonight at Zouk right there, right next door.
So I was just coming to say what's up.
I still ain't took a shower today, so I'm going to go ahead and do that.
I want to ask you this.
Let me ask you this.
I've heard you sing, and I've heard you sing songs, and you didn't have auto-tunes.
What made you decide to use auto-tune what made you decide to
use auto-tune when your voice is as good as anything we have uh because if I would have
came out singing I would have just sounded like everybody else no you don't sound like everybody
it's just been another voice right you know what I mean so there's nothing special about it like
there's people in this crowd that can sing that. Don't it not? I'm sure there is. Not in this? Cinco. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You heard that new Toby and Cinco?
Boy, that thing,
that thing crazy.
No, but no,
I mean,
I would have just been
another voice,
you know what I mean?
Especially, you know.
In the rap game.
Dark skin, dreads,
wasn't a lot of space for me,
you know what I mean?
When I came out,
had to be light skin,
low haircut,
it was a lot going on.
I had to be able to dance, I was fat fat it was a lot going on it was a lot going against me wasn't really working out for me but no i made it through because there was something different
about my voice you know what i mean so i needed something to break through the fog i heard the
other day you talking about how you wrote a lot of songs or you've been writing songs for country
musicians and the credits was kind of getting you in trouble because you was getting some blowback talking about how you wrote a lot of songs or you've been writing songs for country musicians.
And the credits was kind of getting you in trouble because you was getting some blowback.
And you was like, man, if that just got me to check,
don't put my name in the credits.
Yeah, no, it wasn't really blowback.
It was just like, I don't know what we can say on the show.
You good, you good, you good.
We rated R.
The comments on there was just like-
With an N word?
It was a lot of N word.
It was a lot of it.
It was a bunch.
That was primarily the word that I saw a lot.
Anytime somebody said I had anything to do with this song,
I was like, what's this nigga doing on this song?
Why you got anything to do with him?
I thought you were a patriot.
It was just a lot of that.
It was just...
It was a lot.
But did the check clear?
Oh, the check always cleared.
And it cleared on time.
That's the crazy thing.
Country music is very punctual.
Very punctual with the checks.
You deal with some of these darker companies,
they give you that 90 days.
The contract says 90 days.
We're going to send it to 91.
Babe, do you remember when you was growing up
And they ask you
They post date of the check
Oh absolutely
Don't pass this
I put a Friday on it
Don't you take your ass
To the bank on Thursday
You can just not cash this
For me real quick
I'm going to come back on Tuesday
I'm going to let you know
If you can cash it then
But probably don't do it then
If it's Wednesday
I'm going to just cut you another check
I'm going to come pay you another one
Because I'm going to move banks
You see Bank of America
They messing me up
See what I'm saying
So I'm going to move to Chase And I'm going to move banks. You see, Bank of America, they're messing me up. See what I'm saying? So I'm going to move to Chase
and I'm going to come right to a Chase one.
If that don't work, I'm going to go
to Western Union and we're Dixie
and then we can probably just make it work from there.
It don't work. It's just too many steps.
What do you want to say, Ocho?
I want to have a sing-off.
I want to have a sing-off.
I got to sing tonight.
You coming to the residency?
Wait, I could...
Matter of fact, let me perform with you.
Come on up there.
No, I'm serious.
You have the shortest residency in Vegas.
That's going to be one night only

What you think? What you think? I'll take that. That was... One to ten. Sure. Yeah. What you think?
What you think?
I'll take that.
That was a one to 10, one to 10.
Be honest.
Be honest.
Cause my vocal coach ain't here.
She in Miami.
I will say this on one to 10.
That's a hot four.
You did good.
I said a hot four.
That's almost a five.
I'm telling you.
See, that's, that's a good, that's good.
A hot four.
I'm telling you.
You did a hot four.
If you playing gay, you more than what I was going to give you.
What you gave me?
It wasn't on the scale that you put it in,
between one and ten.
I needed to be lower than one.
That's messed up.
I needed a negative energy.
Listen, you gave me something to work with.
I got, see, I can throw a bunch of auto-tune on that
and make something happen.
Auto-tune, I sound like a ten.
Man, you can use auto-tunes, cartoons and make something happen. Huh? Auto-tune, I sound like a 10. Man,
you can use auto-tunes,
cartoons,
ain't enough tunes,
looney tunes,
ain't enough tunes
to make that boy sound good.
T-Base,
stop, please.
I'm telling you,
I done heard a lot
of real bad singers
get turned into
real good singers
because it's a little
bit engineered.
They sound like him?
I mean,
a little bit worse, actually.
Oh, my goodness.
There we go.
Some critically-explanatory artists, I'm telling you. Really? Yeah, some of these artists, a little bit worse, actually. Oh, my goodness. Here we go. Some critically acclaimed artists.
Really?
Yeah, some of these artists, y'all think.
So, other tours can do that?
Oh, man, let me tell you.
That's why everybody thought I was fake winning.
They didn't know how talented you actually were because you had that.
Yeah, now, you got to be able to make it sound good.
You got to sing in some kind of capacity to make it sound good.
But with the right engineer and a bunch of money behind you,
absolutely.
You can hear that.
Well, he need an engineer

Let me ask you a question.
When you was growing up and you was thinking about making money and getting out, so what
did you want to do?
So you wanted to make money to stay the exact same?
You don't dress the same you did when you was in Liberty City.
I look just like this.
No, you don't.
You had a Cuban?
Yes.
Man, stop lying.
I had a Cuban at 14.
Boy, you was born in Church, Mice.

Boy, a robber broke in your house in Liberty City.
Y'all robbed him.

Tied him up and everything.
I have a question.
Y'all saw Griselda?

This man talking about a runner.
He ain't running track.
I wasn't running track.
I don't know what's going on.

Yeah, I worked for Big Ike.
I'm telling you.

All I know is baby be dressing.
Baby be spending that money.
So I don't know what you're doing,

So you don't spend the money
Real's spending
She spend her own money
No that's you spending your money
Shit me

Prenup

So she can continue
To spend her money
That's right
I ain't signing
And you can't spend none of it
I'm not signing it
That's okay
If she decides to leave me
I'm leaving with something
You ain't leaving with nothing
Leave what you came with
That's it. The McDonald's
coupons. You got to sign it. Take them all with you.
You got to sign it. You got to sign it.
You got to sign it. Well, you hear T-Pain?
You got to sign it. You got to sign it.
It's like the Apple terms and conditions.
You got to sign it. What you going to do? Not use it?
Yeah, you got to sign it.
That's what it is. It's like insurance.
I ain't really trying to go out there and hit
somebody, but if I do, I need to know it's taken care of.
Absolutely.
L.A. says she's trying to divorce you,
but just in case, she need all what she can.
You need security.
You need that insurance.
It's not happening.
I need security.
The same lifestyle that she...
Well, go hard.
No, no, no.
Go hard.
Listen, you got to understand.
The same lifestyle that she's provided me since she, no. It ain't even... Listen, you got to understand. The same lifestyle that she's provided me
since she came into my life,
I'm leaving with that.
I don't...
You got to understand.
If we didn't have these lights up here,
the people that's the color of us,
if we didn't have these lights,
we'd be just teeth and eyes up here.
You know what I mean?
We got to have some kind of backup plan or something.
It's some lighter-hued people out here. They ain't got no problems. We got to have some kind of backup plan or something. It's some lighter-hued people out here.
They ain't got no problems.
We got the problems.
We can't be seen like that.
We can't have tinted windows.
You got to have that insurance.
You got to be ready to crash.
You got to have it.
All right, you're right.
You're right.
I'm just protecting myself.
I get it.
I get it.
Tonight is your first night.
Tonight is the first night.
What time?
How long are you here?
I'm here until I'm leaving Sunday.
So it's only like a one or two night.
I'm getting out of here before y'all niggas go crazy.
I'm getting out.
So if they came, if the NFL, Jay-Z, I think Jay-Z is responsible for the halftime show.
They came to T-Pain and said, T-Pain, we want you to do the halftime show.
You in?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Why would I not do that?
That's a no-brainer.
Is that a dream?
Is that a lifelong dream?
It's not a lifelong dream because I figured out sometimes you got to pay to perform and
everything.
I don't want to do that.
Right.
I don't want to lose money coming to the Super Bowl.
That's terrible.
Right.
I got to come here to make money.
Unless I go push Usher off the stage and some shit.
Then I'll do that.
That'd be cool as hell.
I think that'll make some headlines.
Trip Usher real quick.
Get your ass off that motherfucking stage.
Go ahead.
We got it.
I'm going to take a shower.
Y'all niggas is up here.

the fence the way you was sitting there. Come on, I'll do that. You know I can hold a note now.
He said I'm a four. Scale of one to ten to four. A four is good. I ain't had no lessons in like
seven years. You know, I used to lead the choir back in the day. Ocho, you ain't set foot in the
church in 40 years. And you ain't but 43.
No, I'm 56.
But I learned,
I'm just saying,
when my grandma,
my grandma had me in church,
I led the choir all the time.
You don't even drive by a church.
I do.
The only church you been to
is Church's Chicken.
I used to lead the choir.
You want to see?
No, I do not.
Near the cross.
No, you ain't been near no cross
No river
You ain't been near nothing
Why you do that
I know how to sing man
You know what happened honestly
Once I hit puberty

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 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
catch the podcast the nfl daily with greg rosenthal every day subscribe today and you'll
immediately be smarter and funnier than your friends and who doesn't want that listen now
on the iheart radio apps, or wherever you get
your podcasts.
The guy that's coming to the stage
has been an all-pro. He's been a Super Bowl
Orlando Brown Jr.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Appreciate y'all, man.
Who they, dog?
Yeah.
I already know, man. Appreciate y'all having me on. Oh, I appreciate you stopping by. Yeah, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Appreciate y'all, man. Who they, dog? Yeah. I already know, man.
Appreciate y'all having me on.
I appreciate you stopping by.
Yeah.
Your former team is in the Super Bowl again.
Yeah, hell yeah.
What are your thoughts? What are you feeling? You're like, damn, I really left a great situation.
Yeah. I mean, honestly, I already knew that, though.
Did you? Yeah. I mean, honestly, I already knew that, though. You know, I yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I think oftentimes, man, especially in our position, our profession in the NFL, it's easy to put pleasure over business. And man, the relationships that I build over there, the people that I knew, my coaches, my O-line coach, Pat Trav, everything that they built, they built and still building.
I knew what I was leaving but uh at
the end of the day man i feel like i ended up in a great situation and i mean i definitely think
the cheese gonna win the super bowl you know just because that's what they do man right you know
so what what happened because like as you mentioned you had a great situation you got the best
quarterback you got a historically great tight end or offense that's that's flowing like a well
oil machine it seems like there was a situation where you wanted X
and they were willing to pay you like R or S.
Yeah, yeah.
And that's exactly kind of how it went, I would say.
You know, the thing about the sport and the organizations,
y'all were top dogs, y'all understand,
is it's only so many that get the big plate.
You know what I mean?
Like it's a lot of guys at the table,
but it's only three that's going to really get that big plate.
Get that bag.
Yeah, to where, you know, you live in how you live in
and you got the respect and all that different stuff.
So I just felt like it was a situation, man,
where my role was somewhat, you know what I mean,
minimized just because of where I am in my career.
Go ahead, Ochoa.
The biggest threat to the Chiefs in the AFC is our bangles.
Absolutely.
You heard that, huh?
The biggest threat to the Chiefs in the AFC is our bangles
with the healthy Joe Burrow.
Yeah, everybody know that.
What do you think about us next year yeah when we get joe back
healthy do are we we get t back as t you think t higgins coming back because i'm sure they're
probably gonna franchise him right yeah i imagine that's that's probably how to go down so with a
healthy with a healthy joe i think we are right back in contention or probably in the playoffs
and we'll probably be in this position next year.
Your thoughts?
I agree, dog, because I feel like, man, at the end of the day, a lot of our losses, you know,
not taking any credit away from my man Jake, you know,
it came down to quarterback playing a few situations here and there.
And, I mean, Joe Burrow is top two, top three quarterback in this league.
Right.
And has proven that, you know what I'm saying?
And getting him back, our defense and i think the best thing that we really have going is we got a strong
front office dog like they like they love the game they know ball they go get the guys that they want
and you know when you have that type of mindset up up front upstairs you know and ownership and
front office i mean dog the sky's the limit you know what i mean and and i think having like you
said all them names you dropped off,
bro, getting them back, like, that's important.
And I think everybody, everybody know that in the league.
Kansas City, too.
What's the biggest difference?
And I'm not talking about play, but what's the biggest difference
because you played with Patrick Mahomes for a number of years.
You only played one year with Joe Burrow.
What is the biggest difference in the style of, like, leadership,
what they're like in the huddle, what they're like in the locker room?
Yeah. What is the biggest difference that you can share with us between those two guys yeah um man pat mahomes is like a michael jordan-esque approach you know
where hey if you're not on if you're not singular focus hey if you if you're not on 10 yeah hey
he he on your ass straight up if if mahomes has mean? If Mahomes has that Michael Jordan-type approach,
then what would Joe be in comparison to?
Larry Bird?
Larry?
Okay, okay, okay.
I feel like, you know, the thing about Pat, man,
is he always did a tremendous job.
And just like Joe, really any of the top quarterbacks
getting the most out of their guys.
I think John Elway, you know what I mean?
He going to get the most out of his guys.
He going to relate to everybody in the locker room.
You know, he mixed, so that helps a lot.
Yes.
And, you know, I think that's one thing to me that always stood out about Pat, too,
was his work ethic, man.
He's such a hard worker.
His attention to detail was crazy.
How involved he is with that organization.
How involved he is with the game plans on the weekly.
The daily focus.
It's special.
And then I'll take you to my man Joe Shiesty. Joe Shiesty got it figured out. Joe Shiesty is different. And I think the thing that he's really mastered is timing. And he's so emotional, but you
would never know that just seeing him. You know what I'm saying? You would never know that listening
to his interviews or seeing him talk, but he's so emotional. He's hitting his helmet after scrambling for a first down on third down.
You know, I remember we lost to the Titans.
Zach didn't even have to bring us up.
It's Joe Burrow.
You know what I mean?
Letting the team know that, hey, this is what we got to do.
And spoke to the team before training camp and all those different things.
Man, I admire that about Shiesty, man.
It's just really his timing.
Yeah.
You already know.
You was in Kansas City. And obviously eric bnm was the
offensive coordinator why do you feel eb hasn't got a job as a head coach yeah it's really
unfortunate man because uh you know i hate to put it like this but this is just the real uh oftentimes
ownership i think ends up in a situation where they're looking for the guy that they can relate to.
And they're looking for the guy that they feel comfortable with.
And, you know, if you own the business and you were hiring someone in that prime of position, you're looking for that as well.
And I think too often, man, EB has gotten caught in the wing of that.
And in terms of how he is as a coach, his how is he as a coach?
An amazing coach. But he, but he's old school.
You know what I mean?
He going to let you know.
That's one of the problems.
When you're wrong, he going to let you know you're wrong,
regardless of who you are.
Absolutely.
He going to let you know.
I've seen him get into it with 15, 87, Coach Reed.
You know what I mean?
Wow.
You know what I mean?
So he the real deal, man.
And that's what I appreciated about him as a coach was, man, his focus.
Like that attention to detail that he came with on a daily basis, the energy.
Like that's, you know what I mean?
I don't want to take too much credit away from players,
but it was one of the things that kept the engine rolling.
Yeah, see, that's one of the problems, though.
Did you hear how you noticed he said that old school playing style?
Yeah.
That's one of the reasons why I think personally that Bill Belichick doesn't have a head coaching job right now.
Because you have these younger players, younger generation, and that old school philosophy, that old school style is not going to resonate with these young boys.
Not at all.
They're going to shut down.
They're going to talk back.
You know what I'm trying to say.
And I think that's why the NFL owners are going more towards younger coaches that are players' coaches
and can relate to the younger generation a little bit better.
Yeah, you've also got to think, too, a lot of times with these coaches,
some of their biggest fear is losing the quarterback guy, losing the QB coach,
losing the offensive coordinator.
So now what they're doing, they're going to hire that young QB mind,
knowing and stirring that up for long term while going out and dealing with the rotation of a defensive coordinator or something like that.
Right. So, you know, it's weird how the game is going.
But it seems to me and I know he'd be a little bit.
I'm a couple of years older than he is, but it seems like he's big on accountability.
Huge. There's a level of expectation that he has for every player.
And he wants you to come with that singular focus every single day to get better.
And then come game time, I expect you to be where you're supposed to be, do what you're supposed to do.
And if you're not that, I'm going to be on you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, you know, the standard in Kansas City is so high.
The standard is so high.
We finish every play up front.
We finish with a burst.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
And that's the standard as a Kansas City Chief. And so when you have that kind of standard mixed with an old school approach like Coach EB, you're going to get the most out of a lot of guys.
Right.
And that's why you see so many young men, I feel like, coming to there because of the structure.
You know how properly structured it is.
It's somewhat different from college but very similar in terms of the structure, man.
But, I mean, EB was just, that's what he was.
When you talk about standard, right?
I think about the time I played with the Bengals, 11 years.
There's been a huge shift in culture, a huge shift in discipline.
Even me as a fan now, and even Bengal fans in Cincinnati, no matter what happens,
you already know you're going to be in contention every single season, no matter what, as long as nine is in place.
What do you think is the reason for that shift in culture? Yeah. It starts to a front, I mean,
in the front office. And when you have a front office that is bringing in the right guys,
that is going out and finding the Joe Burrow personalities,
finding the T. Higgins, the Jamar Chases.
You know, all those type of things are so important.
And it starts with ownership in front office,
trickles down to coaches, the standard that Zach sets, how he is.
And then on top of that, the players, man.
It's on us as players, you know what I mean, to do our job at a high level week to week.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, you you know what I mean, to do our job at a high level week to week. What happened?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, you almost there.
Hey, we do, hey.
Yeah, you almost there now.
Hey, we almost there.
Oh, big O, we almost there.
999-940.
Yeah.
999-940.
Yeah.
You follow?
Ask you this question.
You watched, I'm sure you watched Chiefs and studied them.
What was the biggest shift?
Because you're talking about a team that was the most penalized offense.
Their offensive line wasn't very good.
They had Patrick Mahomes probably got sacked more than he had gotten sacked at any point in time.
And then you see the 180 that happened in the playoffs.
What do you think was the cause of that?
Yeah, well, at times, man, I think, you know, sometimes as coaches,
it's easy to get caught up in last year and our identity.
Last year's identity.
You know what I mean?
As an offensive play caller.
And so I imagine like –
New left tackle, new right tackle.
It's chemistry.
Because playing with Pat Mahomes,
I had to learn to have an understanding for the feel of the game.
I had to understand that he's taking this deep drop
because of the way that he sees coverage.
Right.
990.
Oh!
Ocho!
Ocho!
Oh, shit.
Pop the pot.
You got to pop the other one.
The other one.
Get some champagne.
Who in?
Who in?
Ocho.
Oh, there you go.
There you go.
There you go.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!

Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Let's go, Ocho!
Hey, I'm playing it.
Hey, now.
I'll hold it.
I'll hold it, y'all.
You know what?
You got more than that?
Hit me better.
I appreciate y'all.
Oh, yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Ocho, put it.
You can put the whole thing.
Oh, shit.
Oh, hey, that's me.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Man, thank you so much.
Oh, my goodness.
Guys, you don't even really know how much this means to us.
When Ocho and I put this thing together, when I called Doug, he was his agent,
and I said, Doug, I got this idea.
Get your mic.
I said, Doug, I got this idea.
I called his agent.
I said, Doug, I got an idea for a show his agent. I said, Doug, I got an idea for
a show. Me and Jamie Horowitz. Jamie's rolling right here somewhere. And we met with Doug and
Ocho. I said, Ocho, I got this idea. He said, I don't even want to hear no more about it. I'm with
you, huh? I said, let me tell you the idea. He said, no, we good. And so this thing has taken
off and been better than we ever, ever imagined.
And it's because of you.
Yeah, Ocho and I, we tell stories.
Yeah, we played the game of football. We played it
at a high level. And yeah, we tell
very interesting stories. I mean,
I probably told some stories I probably
shouldn't have told. I got a few more to tell
too. I'm sure I'm going to tell some tonight.
But it's because of you.
I mean, look at you guys that showed up. We want to thank
you for showing up. We want to thank all of you
guys that's in the live chat. So we really,
really appreciate it from the bottom of our
heart. Hey, listen.
First off,
success on the field, right?
Look at that. Look at that.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, we in the club, man.
Yeah. I like it.
Red tail. Yeah. But, we in the club, man. Yeah. I like it. Red tail.
Yeah.
But listen, I think about success on the field.
You know, Shannon was very successful.
I was okay on the field.
But without the fans, which I consider the meat and potatoes of success, we would be nothing.
So when it comes to us doing Nightcap, I want you all to give yourself a round of applause, too, for helping us reach this milestone, please.
I thank you. I really thank you from the bottom of my heart, because obviously he tried to give me the idea and tell me what this was all about.
I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to care. I just wanted something to do. I like to fucking talk. I talk a lot.
So listen, I had no idea it would come to this in such a short amount of time.
And I thank y'all.
I fucking love you.
And I really appreciate you.
And this is just the beginning because we just started.
We're only, what, three months?
Three months in?
We're four months.
We hit 1,000 subs in exactly four months.
Four months.
Man, that's dope, man.
Thank y'all, man.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Special, man.
That's special.
No, no.
I want to ask you this.
Your dad, Orlando Sr., played for the Browns.
Yep.
And I remember hearing you talking.
I mean, they had moved you to playing right tackle.
Yeah.
You say, but my dad envisioned me being a great left tackle.
Yep.
You weren't complacent.
You are a great right tackle.
Oh, yeah.
But something in your soul, something in your psyche just didn't sit right.
You said, Dad would be happy for me, but he would be much more happy if I was on the left side doing what I'm doing.
Why was that such a big deal for you to move to the left side from the right?
Yeah, it's somewhat of a long story, but we got time.
Yeah, we got time.
So my dad was an undrafted.
He was a rookie minicamp invitee.
Right.
And he ended up getting to invite the OTAs and minicamp and the training camp.
And Bill Belichick puts him on IR as a rookie.
Yes.
And he's hiding him. And my dad's the bully guy.
So he's coming from South Carolina State at HBCU.
Yep.
You know, he's got it rough.
Right.
And so he had to come in from the bottom and
scratch and claw his way to the top
while also seeing guys
like Jonathan Ogden be drafted in the first round.
Seeing guys like Orlando Pace
play really well at a
high level. Walter Jones. And so
growing up, he always emphasized
to me, always spoke to me, be a better man than I am
in every way, shape, form, and fashion.
And don't strive to beat me. Set higher standards for yourself go get Walter Jones go
get Jonathan Ogden go go see go go attain what they attain and so uh man it's crazy man you know
I get goosebumps uh you know when I think about it a little emotional but um when I was in Baltimore
I uh it was it was so hard for me to leave that situation because that was home for me.
You know, that was an organization that, you know, gave my family the opportunity, gave me the opportunity, man.
What was that?
That's tough.
That's tough, man.
But gave me the opportunity, you know, to to be to be an offensive tackle in this league.
Right. And, you know, taking you through the story in the transition.
One of the first things that we talked about in my exit meeting as a rookie was, hey, we don't know the plan to left tackle.
We know we have Ronnie Stanley, but we see you fit as a left tackle here as well in the future.
And it's a it's a business. I take everything with a grain of salt.
You know what I mean? Right. But that was spoken about.
Right.
And so, you know, in due time, Ronnie Stanley has a unanimous all-pro year.
I mean, lockdown, flawless, flawless, flawless fifth year.
And they extend him.
The following year, he goes out there.
He breaks his leg.
I get the opportunity to be a left tackle.
My mentor is in the crowd.
I remember talking to him. there he breaks his leg I get the opportunity to be a left tackle my mentor is in the crowd
I remember talking to him and you know something he said to me was you know your dad really would want you to maximize on this opportunity and he would really want you to chase your dreams and
aspirations and in Baltimore I would have Orlando Brown Jr. day at my elementary school because I'm
from there and they pull out a card from when I was seven years old, and the note card says, where will you be 20 years from now?
And I said I'll be, or 18 years from now,
I said I'll be the starting left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.
And, you know, that for me in itself was such a feat, man.
It was so hard to leave that situation.
But, you know, I had to do what I had to do because, man, for me,
it was bigger than
that. And the Baltimore Ravens organization, talking on the phone with the owner, Steve
Bishotti, Eric DaCosta, Ozzie Newsome, Coach Harbaugh, they all understood that, man. And
I can't believe they sent me to Kansas City. I couldn't believe it. But the owner, Steve Bishotti,
was like, man, you deserve this. You know, I don't want to see you nowhere in NFC North. I don't want
to see you in a shit situation. I want to see you. I want to see you in the right place, man, you deserve this. I don't want to see you nowhere in NFC North. I don't want to see you in a shit situation.
I want to see you.
I want to see you in the right place, man.
So forever indebted, you know what I mean, to that organization.
Thanks for stopping by, OB.
Orlando Brown Jr., ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Appreciate you.
Appreciate it.
I'm going to see you.
We're going to strip club tonight?
