Oh Joe.

Bryce also found out his nickname from fans, Carolina Reaper. Oh Yo raised the nickname on a scale of one to ten.

You know what, based on the way he's playing ever since being benched and coming back, and his resurgence and his stellar play to this part, even as some of the losses, the fact that they're competing and he's playing really really good football.

I like the Carolina Reaper.

I like it. I like it.

Now they could probably come up with a different moniker, you know, for him, being that he's a god fearing.

You know, young fellow. You know he's a Christian fellow.

They got to close with.

Something better than Reaper.

He Christian.

Yeah, yeah, he don't, don't. He don't play by the Lord bro man.

Probably probably that you know, listen, it all started with Adam and Eve.

So but I mean, when you think about the Reaper, KD got slim reaper. So I think, mmmm, I don't see, but KD, KD doesn't doesn't isn't. When I when I think of Bryce Young, I think of I don't want to say Kirk Franklin because that's that's that's that's not not the right way to go. He's very okay, I got the perfect I got the perfect example. When I think of Bryce Young, I think of Tyler Lockett.

The receiver from the Seawks.

Yes, very god fearing, just you know, straight line, no, no, just you know yeah, very very very into into the word. I don't know what I'm trying to forget the right words to to to to say without it being offensive to anyone.

In Prime.

Once you call got a greade with two. Paul Piers the Truth, the Truth, Yeah, Alan Iverson the answer.

That's another good one. Uh kg the big ticket. That's a good one, all right.

Colorado has has secured what is said to be a record insurance coverage for quarterbacks dr Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. They've opted to compete with their college complete their college careers in the Alamo Bow rather than set out and prepare for the NFL Draft. Colorado did not did not disclose the amount of insurance coverage each received, citing privacy law. Coach Prime and athletic director Rick George said it is the largest in college football history.

Oh, show you like this? Absolutely? Yeah?

I like.

I like the fact that they're going out with a bang. We're going to showcase our talents for Colorado and represent our team and not leave our teammates hanging and show off. In this last game after Alimo, we're gonna we're gonna have one last walk, We're gonna have one last dance.

We'll be taken to the tango and I'm finna dance.

I like, I'm gonna change my mind. What the greatest nickname Magic? Don't nobody call him Irvy? I don't even know if people really know his name is Irby have.

Don't nobody even call Don't nobody call.

Me Chad, hrail, don't call you, O Joe. I don't better ride at you, but on all the road trip you Chad? Now you know what Cookie back call him Irvin. I haven't been around her. I've never been, you know,

See, greatest greatest nickname of all time and it don't even make no sense.

Yeah, I like it too, o yo, because how my name is gonna be eight? What a what an eight?

Uh?

Huh?

See greatest nickname of all time? Well, eighty is theoretically. I mean it's like you said your name is eight five, because o cho it's eight and Sinko is five. All right, so you said eight five or eighty five eight five?

Okay, A lot of people if it was eighty five, it be o chin thaisenko.

You know how to speak Spanish? No, yep I benter could speak English? No oh I agree with you.

I like it because if I'm most set foot on there, if there's a risk, they gotta be reward because I have to have something to offset the potential loss of earnings if I work knocking. Would I hope both of these guys are praying both in the fourth quarter walk off the field healthy. I would like to see Colorado win. But if both of these guys walks off the field healthy, that is a win.

Yeah. But for the.

For Prime, you know, look Prime. The thing about Prime is that he understands it. He goes to the athletic director said, look, and they know because a lot of time when these guys lead, they lead. These are the two best players. They're not winning without the two best players. And we've seen a lot of times when the best players opt out, right, unless they're playing for the national champions national champions, your college football playoffs, they opt out

You know what this might might and this would also probably set a precedent going forward when it comes to some of the team's college's best players not having to afford for these games and sitting out waiting for the draft, but also taking the lane of getting an insurance policy to ensure yourself in case there is an injury.

He'll I get one at the beginning of the season. Damn the end of the season, man, please and look.

And I know, especially if I got first of all, o Joe, if if you one of those players, I know you got a little nil money, and so you might want to put somebody out aside and say that I'm gonna take out me a Lord's.

Of London policy, right, so.

You know I had little self. So all right, Oh Joe, now it's time for rough draft. Christmas movies.

Christmas movies. Yes, oh Joe, you go first.

Out you don't even you don't even have to put it in the check.

I ain't taking your word for it, all right, guys, Now it's time for our final segment. It's time for Q and A. We ain't got no graphics, go joke. So I don't know if you was leaning back for you leaning back like you about to hear something you about here. That's what I was waiting on, Joe David said, Mary Christmas from Hawaii. Legends with both of your contributions to the in the NFL, what keeps you from being an offense or defensive coach when it's obvious the sports

Showing up late? I mean really, and that's like every day.

Can you imagine guys making mistakes over making mistakes over things that we've gone over like five ten times. I just don't how the patience. And I've never had the patience. I've never wanted to coach because I don't have the patience.

I know me.

I think the best part about knowing yourself is knowing who and what you are and what I am am not coaching material.

You can't put me in any kind of environment that is competitive when it comes to forget football, any type of coaching or anywhere where you have to compete or people are competing, because my dumb ass is any type of coach is going to be out there with cleats on going full speed instead of coaching thinking I still got it, trying to lead by example, showing how to get open, how to run routes, how I'd be more in the way and I do more harm than good as a coach until I can't, like all my lower

And then honestly, it ain't no money in.

That yeah at the head, Yeah, ain't no money in like low level position now unless you Spags. You know, I think Spags makes like three four million dollars. You're like the top, you know top. I think they paid Kingsbury like two three million dollars. But I know I don't have the patience. My payments work like one hundred million.

Oh you s two three four million. We I mean we were making that, we're making that, but all I got No, I'm just saying like, and Hu, I got two, I got three hundred and seven eleven goddamn jobs.

So three or four that's like, come on, now, that's like two two three months.

Of work worth the word? It ain't. It ain't worth it if not not for me. I just don't have the patience. They can't pay me enough my patience. You can't.

You know, time is money to me, and y'all ain't paying me enough money for these guys to be coaches. Players are disrespectful, They don't want to listen. They know that everybody thinks they know more than the coaches. Nah, I ain't got time for that. I wish them the best. Chris Guadaloupe just asking for Josh Allen, what's the criteria

He is.

He doesn't have the weapons that uh that Lamar has. But remember another quarterback to have this weapon and that hadn't looked like what Lamar is doing, rightty, had the party had these had he had weapons like that. He ain't throw for no. Thirty seven thirty nine touchdowns with four picks. He had Christian McCaffrey, who was offensive Rookie of the Year in his backfield. He had debo, he had a he had you winning, he had killed him. He had an outstanding offensive line. He ain't throw for

Be doing it. Yeah, it is difficult, very difficult. I think it's gonna be close.

It's I'll tell you what, Josh Allen cannot have another game like he played Sunday.

Hold on, they're playing another division on the part.

I don't care, damn who they played?

They playing the Jets right, yes, now now watch now, watch what happened?

Watch New York? Or did in Buffalo? They did in Buffalo.

Either way, the quarterback is used to playing in the cold weather. So that's that's not gonna be a factor. What if you get what if we get to Aaron Rodgers? What if we get to Aaron Rodgers?

We got last week the.

Win that lost, but they lost that game. Yeah, they in nineteen to nine, they scored nine point. They were the first team since nineteen forty to not punt and score fewer than ten points.

Oh so Devant, I mean Devant? You talk about the week before when they beat Jacksonville.

No, what week was that, Devonte Adams were crazy?

That was last week, two weeks ago against Jacksonville.

Okay okay, okay, okay, okay okay okay.

Damn, Hey, the them division game boys be crazy telling what the hell gonna happen?

Aaron Owen said, what's up? Were you guys for or against having hard knocks? When you guys were told before the old one training camp. It made no difference to us. I mean after a while. Your early on you noticed the cameras being there around you, But after a while you carry on. And I think once the Ravens got final control of what would be released and what was gonna be because we cussed, We cursed, guys cursed.

I don't.

I hate to break it to you. I know, you know sometimes we're a family oriented show and we thank football. But guys cursed a lot, and they say crude, crash things a lot.

Yeah, it is what it is.

Good thing hether. I mean, you try to be on your best behavior. You don't want to get in no fights. You know, you get some pushing and shoving and stuff like that, but nothing major. But the good thing if they're not in the locker room, imember and they might come get some foot in the training room. I mean rookie Hazen where we putting guys in the table up and put them in the cold tub, or we might you know, tape them to the gold post stuff like

I was like, what is this?

But you know, people like to know what it's like on a day to day basis for guys trying to make the team. We want to show the rookies what they're going through because a rookies approach and a veterans approach are totally different. I'm preparing my mind, I'm making sure my body, I'm making sure everything is ready to go. That guy tried to make the team unless you're a first round pick, but then he's trying to pick up the playbook. I mean, most veterans, they know the playbook.

Currently? I got Ladani and Thomas.

People forgot Derek uh Henry went twenty thirty six and seventeen touchdown and lost to a rod for MVP.

Also Merry Christmas. Yeah, like I said, unless.

It's gonna be hard for a running back O Joe to get that award because the quarterback the numbers you see aeron Rodgers numbers forty five and six. What somebody supposed to do with forty five and six. How you mean that unless you rush for twenty one fifty two hundred yards of the running back.

Yeah, it gotta be something crazy.

You gotta be staggering that catches everybody's attention.

Or like LT LT had thirty one total touchdown, twenty eight rushing three receiver.

Well, now now we can have a real, real DISCUSSIONJO conversation. Yeah.

Yeah, but with the quarterback, the quarterback, the two quarterbacks right now in the MVP conversation, even with what Sequon has done, even with what Derek Henry has done, they not touching Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen when it comes to the MVP race.

Right And so that's yeah, that's the thing that you're up against, is that quarterbacks putting up the numbers. Patrick Mahons throws fifty touchdowns in ten of the seption, in five thousand yards.

What could a running back possibly do rush for twenty three hundred yards?

I mean, think about it, fifty touchdowns, five thousand yards and they go forth and they go thirteen and three. What is the running back gotta do? The top back fifty touchdowns five thousand yards.

And that was in the sixteen game season.

So if a running back, a running back literally is gonna have to break Arion Dickerson record, and he's gonna probably have to have more than twenty twenty touchdowns somewhere around twenty two to twenty five to get consideration, because you see, if Joe Burrow had a better record, he would be even in consideration because he's got he's gonna be like forty six forty seven hundred yards maybe even

Win the MVP in twenty twenty twelve?

Yeah, twenty twelve. That was Peyton Manning's first year in Denver. Ap Ran for twoenty ninety seven yards and what thirteen fourteen touchdowns in twenty thirteen thirteen touchdowns. Yeah, so it's gonna take something his story like that. But Manning Manny threw for thirty seven touchdowns. That was a full season. Lamar got thirty two, I mean thirty nine with a game left. Yeah, it's just, oh Joe, it's just really hard. I think maybe a running back gets Offensive Player of

Deck Henry, I think it's gotten that.

Christian McCaffrey's gotten it, and so they kind of think that's kind of where they're headed, like, Okay, we're not gonna give me MVP, but we got to give him something for an outstanding year. Kirby Kirk said, you've seen Andy after a by what do you think the Chiefs can do with three and a half weeks. Look, they don't need nobody that's added. Look they got the I still believe he's not having the best season, but I'm still not taking a quarterback over Mahomes. With that being said,

You know what, The bye is good for them too. You know everybody has bumps. Everybody has bumps and bruises. Chris Jones can have some time to get that calf strained, get that together so he's able to play h in the second week of the playoffs.

They gonna be all right. The buye for them can can be more, can be better.

As the in seven years it started, My homeboy is eighty nine and twenty three. He has in seven years, he's only lost twenty three games.

That's crazy. So he's damn near winning on average twelve and a half games a season. That's crazy.

I mean, he tied Peyton Manning for the most touchdown through his first eight seasons. But when they say first eight, he's been in the league eight years. He didn't start his rookie season, so he has two forty four and seven seasons.

That's crazy work, it is, man, Yeah, that buye is good for him.

Man, yes, it is.

Just get some people healthy, Get some people healthy. You know that's bumped up, that's bruised up. Come back, come back, fresh legs.

Doctor Frankie L. Bellamy says, hey, guys, mayor Christmas, I hurt the best quarter of the day. Made me think of y'all phustling so hard until your haters ask if you're hiring.

I love that. Yeah, we get that. Well, I mean Nicki.

Nicki was hustling so hard, but she was never hating. Nicki was one of our first ones, and uh I was like, hell, you got all these catching things to say, Hey, won't you say them for Shasha Media.

And Lloyd?

And behold, what's the other guy name? We got Adrian with another guy. He he ran my parents. It wasn't my hiss his account, but it was a parody of my of me. Hey, you want to work, come on. I believe in giving people opportunities, especially if there if there's a place and uh and uh, well, Ash, she brings it to me, it's on her. If it doesn't work out, it's on her. So so so don't don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't ask me. It's it's Ash, Ash. I let ask you to hire whoa whoa?

Well, speaking of yes, I just want to make sure Ash she like what you want. Can I get the smoke in New Orleans this time? Can I get the smoke? Uh?

Just I'm coming in the front door. That's my entrance. You know what I'm saying.

When they listen, when they introduce us. You gotta think about it now.

This this is a moment.

This is this ain't just no anything, This ain't just this is Nightcap Live Show, New Orleans, super Bowl Week again live from Is it that?

What's the name of the place, The Mahelia Mahela Jackson.

Yeah, the Magican singer that was my grandfather's favorite and my grandmother's favorite singer. Listen in the upper room. What you talk about, man? I know, I'm tell you, oyo, what we're trying to do. We're trying to increase revenue and decrease expenses. That's an expense that's really unnecessary.

Hey, it don't cost nothing for those smoke I could I could get a smoke machine. Cost a smoke machine on Amazon.

It's a o jo. It's a dry ice machine. Right that That ain't nothing.

That's that's cheap.

That's about thirty dollars.

No, it's not thirty dollars. I'm telling you it's not. We looked into it for real.

Yes, Okay, fuck it, Okay, fucking no smoke. Okay, how about confetti huh?

Then we get We'll get a confetti canon. Okay, the road say mad Christmas? Back hered fucking ot Yoe, what is the most memorable moment with your family and the holiday season if you could relive that moment, would you.

Wait, Chris Christmas, Christmas back in the eighties. Man, Yeah, we we just told We just told them about that now, not long ago. How things once once, once Grandma is gone, you know, the important people of the family, Big Mama, that kept everybody together, you know, once once she left on family gatherings ain't been the same.

No, no, no, no, It's never the same, Joe.

No matter how much you try, it's just not the same. The cooking ain't the same, the energy, the aura, you know, the the excitement of knowing you're finishing your cousins and you know, your uncles, and just it ain't it ain't the same.

And I just remember, you know, sitting around all my uncle's, uh my uncle and everybody would come over back to the house on yoa and you know kids, yea we got back then. I don't know, I don't look, I don't know. I just speak to how we ate. Kids ate out of pie pans. You ain't getting no plate. Kids ate out of pie plans. You ate Thanksgiving, you ate holiday meals out of a pie pan. Grown ups

That's it. Obviously. My dad, my dad, my dad wasn't around. He would call.

And people after n ask, well you don't really talk about your dad, said like, I love my dad. Hell I named my son after my dad, and I know my dad. My dad loved me, my brother, my sister. But I think my dad was embarrassed because I don't think he became what he thought he could become, and he thought that we would be embarrassed of him. My dad drank a lot, and my dad died at the age of thirty nine, and he had brothers that two

And so I think for me.

To see, I would I would want to take my dad to the game, because he wasn't a part of that that celebration, but I would want my dad to go to a game.

I would like for him to go to a game.

When I became the player that I became O joke, even though that's not a family moment, I would like for him to go to a game and be on the sidelines to see his son, this baby boy who looks like I look exactly like my dad.

To see let him see that, but for.

My grandfather to be there, to that raised and instill what he instilled my brother and myself and to and to like I could just imagine, I can just imagine. Now, don't think he gonna treat this different because we got some money on you, because that ain't. Yeah, Now Barney Party doesn't care. He didn't care about no money. He ain't care about nothing. He was he was built on respect. Yeah, he was built on that. And you know, hey, he called you, hey boy, Yes, sir, Hey, come cut, Come

But I missed that on Yoe. I missed that. I do.

I had that opportunity.

It's so funny now that you mentioned having an opportunity to have him come to a game. My old boy did twenty three years in the face. So he was never there when I was a child, never there in a child. And you know the chat is social media is really good. I remember what he went in for a chat, if y'all can refresh my memory because I was a child. My father's name Sam Brown Senior. I think he got out maybe if I'm not mistaken, maybe two thousand and nine. And my grandma and my mama

It just wasn't in me.

It wasn't in me because I was so curious, you know, I was so curious as to who my father was. Man he got he got out of pre he got out the fairs, man had an opportunity to meet him, had an opportunity to sit down with him. I learned that he likes cigars, he liked tobacco, like spoken out of pipe. He came and he came and watched me, and UH watched me in New England when I was in New England. I think that was twenty eleven, and uh he passed away. He passed away from UH prostate cancer.

It is one of the most it's one of the most curable.

Yeah, when detected early, I got diagnosed with prostate cancer in twenty sixteen, O Joe, Yeah, did a routine going in like, hey, I was going to take the job at uh Fox.

Yes, it was my time.

I started getting I started getting checked in my thirties, oh Joe, because of my family history. Like I said, my dad died at thirty nine. Two of my dad's brothers barely made the age of fifty one. Dinass forties. One of the diners late early mid forties, and the other diners late boardies maybe made fifty one, fifty fifty to fifty one. And so I started getting checked. And

You seem healthy.

I knew something O Joe was wrong because normally when I do this, he would call me, Hey, everything look great, your laugh came back, Your PSA is a fine, blah blah blah. This time he didn't call me. There was a lady called m Hm, and she asked if this mister sharp, so you know, like.

You red. Yeah.

Hello, yeah, see, like I want to talk to you about your labs with your uh you know, your colonoscopy. Like okay, uh, why didn't doctor Badmaquala call me. She's like, well, this is uh, this is my purview. Oh lord, now they're getting all scientific o Joe, now know this is your purview.

Hey, don't give me Hey, listen, don't give me the goddamn big words. Man, shoot it to me straight.

And now like we're on the corner that.

So, uh you got prostate you know, cancer. We're gonna monitor it. Uh you know it's in the early stages. We don't think uh, but we're just gonna monitor it. We'll check back with you in a couple of months. Go back in a couple of months. This was like I left in August, so I got this test in July. The results got back to the beginning of August. Uh, there was like, let's October November and it progress and uh there's like, well first chance you get well, hey,

Uh?

And so I had to get I had to get blood work drawn for like every every six months for like two years, and I've been in remission ever since. But uh, man, well you don't want that call oo. Man, it's just like, man, your heart dropped. Yeah, this lady be at all professional doctor batterquality. You know, he'd be like, you know, we we talked about things. You know, we got a family. You know, he watched sports, he knew who I was. I had thought up a rapport with him, and so I felt very comfortable.

This is a lady. I'm like, uh, why are you talking like this lady. But yeah, bad. But it's it's, it's, it's it's a very curable.

Uh. When when you get screened, talk to your doctor. You get screened early because a lot of times don't yo, man, look here, A lot of times we especially black men, I didn't been through it. Now, God got to be sitting at the foot of the bed before we go to the doctor.

Mm hmm. Man, you know God. I saw God in the foot of the bed last night. He told me to come in here.

Man, you doubled up. You call it man, But uh, now I go, Hey, all that money I pay for his shirts? Man, I sneeze.

I'm up in there. Your care Yeah, uh, it's maybe your allergies. I don't know.

Give me some of the allergies. I asked the dunct bulling premium my fan. Let me feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Zeta two nine nine seven. Hey uncle noo yo. Happy holidays to you both. My question is where in the world would you like to see an NFL international game. This does not include the one that we've seen recently in Mexico, UK, Brazil. My pick would be Japan. Now they have played a preseason game in Japan.

Right.

So uh yeah for me, I think I think Dubai. I would like to see a game in Dubai.

Yeah, that's a good one.

By is a good one as far as you know from a revenue and economic standpoint when it comes to the NFL and bottom line always being about making money, I think that would be a great move for them.

What about Africa.

Joe burd Kenya, Nigeria, mozam beaque Evopia the year.

It had a NFL.

Now it has to make sense here as it makes sense here as it makes his financially. If it doesn't make his financially.

Well, they have a game and in Africa, I'm going I'm gona I'm gonna tell, I'm gonna tell, I'm gonna tell commit I was saying, I need to be there. I need to be their commission. I said, I ain't never had, I said, I played a long time. I've been retired and I've never asked you for anything. But I'm gonna call it a fam I'm gonna call it another favor too early in uh in about another week or two.

But I want to go. I want to go to Africa. I want to be a liaison. Yeah, okay, not what I want to do.

So my vote is Dubai and Africa. Patterson yas, I said, Marry Christmas night cap unco choe. I got a night cab hood and a T shirt. I hope you got got I hope all you got what you wanted. I didn't make it to the Match of Majama stage. All I wanted was a Cowboys.

Uh.

All I wanted was for the Cowboys to pull through, but we didn't. Patterson, I tried to save you. I couldn't you you want I'm trying to help you, but you want you don't want help.

He wanted to pull it through after all this time.

Hey, he talk about let they don't life support. I was hoping they pulled through. They were and what's you called them? Pull the plug? The commanders pull the plug on them because once the Commander's won that one gave them ten wins. The Cowboys they went out, they can only get the nine. Yep, Blue Coop don't know what to tell her, what King Pickett says. Can y'all shout out my girlfriend doctor mean uh for buying me tickets to the New Orleans show for Christmas? He and we

Pat from you as they dominate the Steelers.

Twenty nine to ten, clinch home field throughout the AFC playoffs, and the number one seed they moved to fifteen and one is by my guestimation, knowing Andy how You was, that he will rest his starters next week as many of those starters as he possibly can, considering you can't rest everybody because you'll only probably have eight offensive linemen, so a lot of guys are gonna have to play for a period of time. And with that being said,
