Now that's a lie. That that's a lie. That's that's a habit, that's that's hard to break. But that thing, my first one was workout more right, Yes, and I went quit smoking for my second one.

Yes, my my next one? Who up? You up? I'm up? You? Oh?

Okay? You know what? Yes, sir, I think me and you both need to do this. We're gonna be a better people.

You ain't volunteer?

Uh?

Well I just said that. I said volunteering.

Get back.

No volunteer. You volunteering or you giving? Are you giving charity? Are you giving them money? Volunteer time? You ain't volunteering?

No money.

Volunteering and giving back is two different things. I'm talking about donating charity. Okay, you talk about your time, okay, right, yeah, or.

You want to you want to give some money up. You ain't giving no money about.

Your nah, absolutely not. This is a good one because people always do this when in the New Year's Resolutions twenty twenty five, I'm gonna be a.

New meed, I'm okay, I'm gonna learn a new skill. I'm gonna learn a new hobby. And that last.

That last for maybe a month or two.

All these last for a month or two. But it looked good written out of paper. You know, ye what I'm gonna do. Yo, I'm gonna spend more time with family and friends.

You know, I'm gonna be more positive, knowing damn, knowing damn where you're not. We we thrive off negativity in general. I think you lost this one too.

Honestly, now I think I got this one.

Joe Jamal Adam is good man. Look especially ryning god damn box inside the box. He was, he was read, he was very.

Yes, yes at the quarterback grated run. I mean, look, it a little stiffer than empty great in past coverage. But that's okay. Every everybody is not everybody is not gonna be ed reed. Everybody gonna be Troy Polamalo. Everybody gonna be that Ronnie Lot, everybody gonna be a Woody Rod or Charles as they transition from corner to safety.

And that's okay.

But that's why I'm saying, sometimes, don't, Joe and I've got to do a better job of this sometimes.

Hard car part.

Listen, listen, being being able to make a decision and then compartmentalized, separating the two emotions. Boom you over here, decision. Most decisions are made based on emunction. Hey, what happened with the motion of the high That's another.

That's another, that's afar, that's a bar? Where is my dad painted? Pad Man? Again?

Every every what emotion is high, logic is low.

Every look every decision.

Trust me, I've analyzed everything that I've done, and I

Out of it.

Sometimes people that are saying these things they're saying just to get the reaction. Look, I got Shannon Sharp to say this, I got Unked to say that.

And they they.

They don't, they don't root for you and that's the thing that you have to understand, Ojo.

Everybody that show up on your timeline isn't for Ocho. Everybody that's on my timeline isn't for Shannon Sharp. And you have to like, you know what.

A lot of times now, like I said, y'all, they say stuff, I see it.

I'm gonna let y'all rock. I'm gonna let y'all have it.

Make y'all, y'all win, y'all want a response, I respond to the one like, look, this is what I saw. This is why I said this, This is why I said that. But I'm not going back with no negativity. Life is true. God has put me in this position right here, in a position that I didn't think I would be in as fast as I am.

And I'm not so sure. Like I got to know, I got a prayer in so I know my grandmother said.

Stayed up a many a night on her knee, and God heard prayers I didn't even know he was listening to. I'm not fit to go back and forth with people that don't have Shanna shar Our best interest in mine. I know who they are. That's my team. I'm surrounded myself with some really good people. Everybody moving forward has gotten vetted.

Ash.

Hey, she knows that's her responsibility. She does the hiring. CJ has that. I let them run what they're supposed to run. I'm normally the third of the fourth smartest guy in the room, and I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. But they know they have the responsibility. I trust them. I sincerely trust them. I said out here for a reason. I said, you're my.

First high hell, I had asked. She's like, what shall on?

What we're gonna do? I said, I don't know. He said, well, if you don't know, I'm still going. He had a job at Fox and she left to come with me. I'm paying out my pocket. I held out my pocket. CJ the same thing, he said. He said, all I needed, you're gonna give me benefits, c J.

I got you. DJ left. I told Jordan, He's like, hey, boss, I don't know.

I said, Look, you can't take no damn pictures from the Cincinnati, So you come to l A. I'll have to find somebody else. Oh, come on my way. I don't know how you got there. You drover, you hauled you. Oh you have your stuff? He had stuff ship, but we put this team together and hey, it's been on and utworth since it's been own with and upworth, since we've hired a lot of people. We've hired a lot of people for Nightcap. We have a lot of people

Hey, they know, and especially in relationships is more so the women.

I think things would be much easier if they chose their battles wisely.

Everything, if if everything.

Don't have to have to address everything, not every damn thing.

Come on.

Sometimes, sometimes even in the relationship, the individual, the female or the male can be paralyzed because they're so afraid that somebody might not out there.

What am I gonna do? Yeah?

I know he don't pay for I know he beat on me, I know she cheat on me. I know this, But am I gonna be able to find somebody else?

Yes?

S you get paralyzed by that because you overthink said situation. I refuse to be in a situation like that. I refuse to I am not going to let you hold me hostage. Come on, I don't see it right now. Something on the other side, because the Jets cannot see. Well, who's the quarterback right now that we can definitively say? Are you saying that there's somebody out there that gonna be worse? I mean, are you telling me you mean to tell me you can't find somebody out there that can go

I am not. I am not chasing a lie. So I let y'all say what all y'all say? I see it? Do I see it? If I don't see it, somebody send it to me. Lie, Lie, Lie, I ain't chasing it, though I'm not gonna respond to it.

Go ahead on My New Year's resolution is is to to not curse as much.

You know, I'm in therapy. I'm in counseling right now. For my cursing.

I like.

I like cursing. Chat you have to listen to me.

Or why I like cursing. I feel that cursing is a a sentence enhancer.

You know.

It's no different than when you cook and you add seasoning. It gives it flavor. So if I say, un, you know what, unc man, you're a dog man, I.

Love you man?

You see that sound good? But if I say, hey, you know what, man, I fucking love you.

It's it's a difference in meaning and delivery and the way you say things.

That's why I think Kurz World is so important. But I think I'm gonna try to trim back on it a little bit. I'm gonna trim back on a little bit.

And that's yeah, good luck with that resolution, all right, good luck with that. We're gonna get a lot of money. We Harbard is doing a grub believable job. I think that answered your question coach of the year. I mean he's gonna be in the look. I think he's gonna be in the running. I think you gotta put keviital Collin in the running.

Who else? Obviously, uh Campbell, he's in the running.

But this team, for what they've been able to do, Uh, they got ten wins, could possibly get eleven. I don't think anybody'll be surprised if Jim Harbaugh one coach of the Year. But there are some other worthy candidates. Like I said, you meant you look at a Dan Campbell, you look at a Kevin O'Connell, Uh, Mike Matt Lafleur. Uh.

Yeah. I think Sean.

Payne deserves to get some credit also for the job that he's done with the Broncos. But man, Jim Harbor his ability to coach there, you can't deny his ability to coach.

You might not. Uh, and harr it's time.

Bro, you got that you got that help replacement or knee replacement walk. You see how you Hey see, I ain't tell you what I'm telling you because I had that walk.

My brother had that walk. I saw Sam.

You know that walk if you had replacement me or hill replace, you know the walk when you see it.

He he gonna have to get one of them.

He gonna have to get one of them done soon, because I know, I know here in the game and all that standard. Boy, everything hurt when I hit my help and I'm standing walking sleeping.

I mean like, I'm like with damn, anything I can do that.

Don't put that I'm not you know that you could do really to relate that.

Now, anytime you have horizontal wuctivity, you can take a talentnoll take through tleanos. Now relieve I did three milligram Okay, that's okay, Yeah, yeah.

I don't know how many milligrams it was, because boy, I was in extreme pain, and I remember thinking myself, Man, I can see how people get hooked on with the pain that I'm in right now. Oh boy, I'm talking about when you know you go to the dono and then ask you say, okay, what's your level of pain on the scale of one to ten? It's a teen, it's a twelve. I'm boy, oh Joe, I'm talking about

B I go, yeah.

Yeah, hey, make make make a touch everybody.

From the corner in the house.

Now you hear me, he'll need something hit me and come up from there. Oh oh oh you still shame that you still sha I have to play that in my head. And do you know who you are? Let

And and that's the same thing, right But how we talk about younger, the things we could do when we're younger.

On they when you get older in yeah, yeah, but you just can't. You just can't execute.

It the right way when you get older.

The same same concept.

No, I mean, I'm still as adventurous, but I think the world got smaller for me.

You know what I'm saying.

I think that I think that what it is I still see beyond the rising.

It's funny how that ever.

Listen, I ain't got after that place yet I have, I haven't got to that place yet, And I thank God and I pray, I pray as I have a birthday coming up in a week and a half. Hey, listen as a keep I know my time is coming, and I know I know it's coming.

You know, where things don't work the way they used to. I'm not able to to uh to.

What's the word.

I'm not able to hit the intersection the way I used to hit the intersection.

Sometimes I might have to use him a blinker before I never used to use him blinker.

I just go.

Yeah, hey, sometimes, won't Joe, Look here, you're just getting that slow lane, the right lane, and just stay there. Go ahead and put your blink on when you leave the house. You just know at some point in time, won't, Joe, you're gonna have to turn right. Just go ahead and put your blink on. You in the slow lange, Come on by, come on by. Hey, Hey, I had I had an odd shit. Hey, you put that blank on as soon as you get on the road there that right lane, like damn, we ain't gonna ever get there.

Hey, get you out of the way.

But sometimes when it comes to that guy that that position is then tangibles, yeah, is what is what you cannot see. I know he has the arm, I know he has legs. I know he can make plays in and out of the pocket. But that's not where Tom Brady was measured. That's not where a lot of the greats are measured. It's the intangibles is what you cannot measure because you cannot see it.

I ain't tell it what.

Somebody tell you because I'm really good friends with guys that picked players for a living and do a damn good job. I don't know if y'all notice this guy named Ozzie Newsom. Y'all might have heard of it. His first draft pick ever was the first ballot Hall of Famer. His second draft pick ever was the first ballot Hall of Famer. I don't know if y'all Jonathan og.

Din Yeah, yeah, and guess what airy first ballot this year?

Yes, and guess what, Marshall Yonder, He's all he's a finalist this year. He drafted Lamar Jackson. I'm telling you now, Ozzy's a little bit is Look, Ozzy understands the environment of a raven and what it's like to be a raven. Ozzy is one of the few guys that he really doesn't hold like a lot of teams o Jo hold like you have something like you gotta you gotta.

Oh he got a thing. What Ozzie do.

I'm telling you how Ozzie knew some mills. Oz said, you know what we get to be. You just be you go play football, be you win, try to get you to conform to anything. We play hard, we play tough. Yeah, we we We come to work every day. That's why they got the phrase play like a raven. But for me, it was a bad look. It's gonna be very interesting when they get him in the room and they ask him,

So uh uh so? Who is such a you know? And the first thing you're saying, I already.

Know who's such and such? Are who? Wait? Let me see?

Oh oh but listen, there's two things you don't want to get from your leg your hard drop is who is this? And we need to talk?

Who is this?

And we need to talk?

You get the You get the backtracking and thinking about, well, damn, I ain't doing did.

I mm hmm?

You started thinking, well, how much does she really know? Does she really knows? She's speculating because you know, women got great tuitiones, not me.

I got. I got four words I don't want, you know, talk to me. I heard it.

I heard it like three times, Shannon. Oh I'm pregnant. Yo,

Better? I heard the three words though you say, Lord have mer.

Man Listen when I when I look back at it, When I look back at it.

What did tell? Yo?

So?

Where were you when first time you heard you know what?

There was a method to my madness?

I was it was.

Yeah, because they.

You know, and people might it might be frowned upon based on the way I did things is I wanted to have kids not only with women that were athletic, but I also wanted to make sure that the women that that I knew before I even made it. I need people from where I come from, from my struggle,

Am I making sense?

Yeah?

So I mean, listen, I want to I want to athletic baby. So if if, if, if we were going to.

Lay down in any way, horizontally or vertically, I need to I need to see some high school footage.

Can you run?

Are you athletic? I take it to David Busses. Can you roller skate? Did you play volleyball where you're a cheerleader? Did you run track? Did you do anything athletic? If you did, that gives me the advantage with my DNA and yours. That gives my child a competitive advantage right away.

Well, well I guess, I guess I should have did that, but they was quick to cut them lights off, so that worked for me.

I don't know. I don't know they can run around the track on your I ain't know if.

They can hit a soft balls to the basketball, play kickball, friends, mee whatever else.

Cheer leaders. I don't know what they did, but they were real quick cutting them lights off.

So help feeling like, yeah, he don't tell you twelve hundred, So add another eighteen hundred and shoot me in my free.

Now now I know you got it.

Now that sold that back together. Oh that was a I gotta write that down. The only thing hurting is my heart now to sold that back together? Oh yeah, you know, you know, you know, you know you better than I mean. Hey, chat, there was a stretch right there. Boy, I thought I was good and I thought we lost you.

I'm good if I listen.

If it's something wrong with me, this is the place where I'm safe and me being someone who don't give a fuck about about what people say about me.

I have no problem being vulnerable, especially on this platform, especially with you.

I came, I thought, I put my aunt rabber boy and say, hey, what's the matter show?

But then then you gotta be careful. Now, this is what I'm very conscious because I'm seasoned year me. Huh, I'm seasoned. I got a little salt and pep on me. I got experience in the game. So what happens to you? I gotta stay woke. I gotta stay woke. I ain't no fool one thing about it. Sometime when you're beg right, really not who they want to be with. So when you beg your way back in there. Sometimes they'll play the long game.

Year me. Stay with me.

I'm not talking about my situation.

I'm just talking about it in general for anybody else out there that might be having problems and they begging the individual to come back.

Sometimes they'll come.

Back to you right simply because who they really won't ain't really ready. So they're like, well, fuck it, I'm gonna come back and go to him until the person I really want to ready.

They have to play the long game, so you got to be careful.

Yeah, uh chat, y'all. Stay with me now. Now, I got fifty I have fifty three years of horizontal experience and fifty six years updating experience. So I'm not telling you what I heard. I'm telling you what I know because I haven't been through it.

You know.

So tell you what the prostitute told me back in nineteen eighty seven. Yesterday's price ain't today. It went up,

Then I two days later and she knew how I got paid. So you know what she hit me with.

Yes, price, Yeah you could have got him for five, but I know you got money. Yeah look cool to cost you for twin dollars. Yeah, yeah, you got to think this nineteen eighty.

NFL viewership of Christmas Day game peaked at twenty seven million during the Beyonce halftime performance for the Texans Ravens. NFL game cast reads are record breaking sixty five million viewers in the US. I know Lebron said, Hey, I know, Lebron said he loved in Minfel football.

But Christmas is loan to basketball, know it? Don't know it? Don't.

You could take jackson You could take Jacksonville the Giants and put them on Thursday, and you put them on head to head against any NBA game and they all draw for one.

Is not for one with the NBA. It ain't got damn playoff time. Let's let's start.

I don't care if it's playoff time. Ain't nothing touching, Ain't nothing touch Who was.

The viewers when when Beyonce was performing.

Many seven million a half time? Oh remember?

Now, I used to be a backup dancing but Beyonce about ten years ago, so I already know what she could do.

So I understood what the performance is gonna look like.

Twenty seven million.

That ain't nothing for Beyonce, you hear me. We talked about the greatest performer.

We talked about the greatest live reformer since Michael Jackson, and anybody.

Want to argue left. We can argue about that.

Now there are other great performers and entertainers out there, but we talk about the greatest of all time outside of Michael Jackson, and I argue the fact.

But the thing is the thing that I love about Beyonce, oh jee is I know what I'm gonna get. I'm gonna get consistency. She gonna give me two hours and it's gonna be NonStop, and it's gonna gonna do what she do every That's that's all. That's all I can ask for. I don't care if you see it in Sweden. I don't care if you see it in the Staples. I don't what he can't do Staples. I don't care if you see her at so Far. I don't care if you see a Mercedes Ben's done. I don't care

Most of the time, it don't matter how much Beyonce tickets cost.

It don't matter because it's worth the price of fucking admission because you know what you're getting.

You ain't just getting Beyonce. You're getting it's all about an experience. It's an experience.

It's an experience that you're gonna be able to talk to years from that, you be able to tell your grandkids about when Michael Vick played in Atlanta.

It wasn't about no football game.

Man, talk about an experience, whexperience. It's an experience, and you don't understand it watching videos on Twitter.

You don't understand it watching videos.

You gotta be a person to understand what it's all about. And until you do that, you'll never get it.

Yeah, Yeah, I wish.

I wish, of all things I could have done, I could have seen Janet when she was at her height, because a lot of people tell me Janet did within her bag.

We know, Michael.

Look, and this is not a disrespect on anybody, But until somebody can come out on stage and don't move a muscle for thirteen to fifteen minutes and people start fainting.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't talk to me. Hey, you know I had I had a few faint over me in kindergarten. Now, yeah, don't put.
