Nightcap - Hour 2: Russell Westbrook gets wrist surgery + Caleb Williams making improvements

The volume.

All right, we gotta bring Joe. We're gonna bring one of your teammates.

Uh.

He played fifteen seasons both in the NBA and International Games. He's also a teammate of Joe's in the Big Three of the Detroit Amps.

Here he is Jeremy Pargo. Jeremy, how you doing, bro? What's up? Unc? I'm good man? Thanks for joining us tonight. What up, Chad? What's going on with fellas? Hey, mister Pargo? Yeah? They play me one on one?

Hey, I kid you now.

I told my people I got a white boy right here while I write scripts, and I said I should write on this chat.

I will give you.

Forty that word, hold on, hold on, you'll give me forty? And what about playing NBA two?

K No, I don't even play that game. You talk about real life?

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, real life. I've been looking for you too. I've been looking for you too because you like to talk. I like it.

Listen, what ain't this ain't hard to find that I can come with you at hey?

Listen, chat.

We had to encounter in Miami at the stop, like we just had to stop, like you try to borrow my car?

Told you you have whenever you wanted, whenever you wanted.

Because I know you will bring you back. Absolutely. It's good to see you. Boy.

Let's talk. Let's talk about their movie. You movie, a movie that you start in. You co wrote this film, the final play. Uh, the feature is about the debut. The Final Play is available today on all digit on all major digital and on demand platforms.

We have a significit of the film. Let's take a look at it right now. Let's do it. Men love to be in control.

See that Elo got him thinking access? I know men like chopped up man.

Yeah, yeah, when are you free? Uh? Uh, don't be so aveded so unavailable? Man, tell us ass next month, next month.

So when did you start? Where did you start thinking? Like, you know what, I want to get into the film industry. I want to write. I want to write scripts. I want to I want to act, I want to direct. I want to be a part of this. What made you decide to say, you know what? This is this is my this is part too, this is act too.

From my good friend. He plays Corey in the film. By the way, his name is Shirrod. He had me do something back in like twenty sixteen. Some I'm smaller than movie. I'm like, man, I ain't no act at all. He's like, now, just come do it. So based on that, I ended up getting auditioned for uh Chicago PD but I was overseas playing ball. Couldn't do the audition, and to be honest, we athletes, we ain't got the confidence to walk in nobody audition room and think me about

So I wrote it that way.

Man, during the pandemic, I just sat down with no cards and just was right writing, writing, and uh, my sister Valentina Barton, who was big on everything, she's a producer on the film, and this this is what we got.

And uh, fortunately I was able to get you to show up.

I have one question also when it when it comes to writing, I'm I'm a movie head, I'm a buff, I'm an enthusiastic when it comes to the art of acting in general, I can't produce that can't write. I can't do none of that. I'm just I love the finished product. I'm excited to check yours out. But when it comes when it comes to writing, do you do you do you write from start to finish or do you do it in parts separately?

So I had a co writer on this because, like you said, I didn't like to write in school.

I was a math guy.

So when I was writing, I probably got maybe thirty pages out, and this was this was kind of easy to write. Easier to write because I was telling the story from that I that I've pretty much seen I lived, come from a real place.

And I think this is relatable to all of us athletes.

Uh So, when I was able to get about thirty pages, I hired a co write about a name of Barshe and he came in and he helped me build this thing to where it is today.

And next thing you know, we're in ninety pages.

Wow, yeah, hey, hey, hey, oh Joe, Hey, look one thing about me.

I ain't gonna tell no lie to you because it sounds fly to you.

Okay, I gotta write that down. Listen, listen, It's a roco a romantic comedy. Okay, you're gonna laugh from start to finish and all that. It's got some sentimental moments in there, you know, to where you may share a tip, but it kind of pushed you in the likes of like a best man, okay, you know something like that.

So it's it's it's it's a hell of a movie. Man.

I wouldn't have I wouldn't have did the one too if I ain't think it was worth it, you know what I mean?

Right, yeah, yep, if I'm.

Not mistaken, I think you have an all female production team. How important was that for you to have an all female production team?

So coming into this thing, like I said, Valentina has been with me from Joe. So my good friend Ernestine Ernestin Morrison. She lives in Atlanta, and we shot this in Atlanta. She's she's connected, so we went through her for other actors and actresses. We went to locations and then to live breonn who's another producer as well as director,

So was it a situation? I mean, you say it comes from a very personal point of view? Did you always? Did you know what you wanted? The direction kind of that you wanted to go, and you sit down and you sat down and talked to them and they said, this is kind of this is kind of the direction that I see it in my head. Because what you see in your head and being able to put it

So a lot of.

It was just like you said, what we experienced some wants in there. What I desired.

I just watched I was watching you guys talk about marriage and all of those things. So those are the things that I desire. So it was easy to find a way to work that into film. And having leaders in my life that that has has borne down that path in terms of having a long term relationship with women like my brother, like Joe, has always been great to see and continue to building that in that aspect.

In the movie came together and I can't wait till you guys see it.

Okay o Joe his brother Gennero Pargo, he's the assistant coach for the Indiana Paces. Right, Okay, yeah, me and his brother, Me and his older brother played college ball together at the University of Arkansas. Okay, yeah, so that's so that's how y'all know each other.

Yeah, yeah, twenty years wrong been? Why been?

A right?

Wow? So when when when when the family?

When a guy in his gal or you know whomever, goes and sit down and they watched this movie. You know, hey, they chilling at the crib because it's on all digital and straightening platforms.

What I mean? Uh? What? Just uh?

Joe you said? I think you said best man. I was thinking, like, hell, you know, part of the baby, it's loving basketball. Think it's something like so it's what can the fans expect. It's a it's a piece of all of them. Man.

It's a hard story that comes from a real place, is relatable.

I wrote it with the host of starting conversations between men and women in terms of their relationships and building better relationships going forward. With every classic romantic comedy for our community that you can think of, it's a piece of it. In the love Jones, The Wood is my favorite movie. Okay, so that The Wood is classic. That is my favorite movie. So when I was writing, I

So mane, anything you can.

Think of that was a black romantic calmly growing up, it was amazing, Like no joke, Yeah.

All right, than please tell me I can watch this to night when the show is over, or do we have do we have to we have to wait a little bit.

No, you ain't got to wait it all. You can put it on right now, have it running on your TV.

So you can't see it because it's is TV not centered, so you ain't gonna be able to see it because his head blocking it. Now, I don't know how he got all the other stuff on the wall center and then he got it. He got it a truce on his damn wall who and he got got fifty he got a he got a fifty foot wall with a twelve is TV.

I got a TV in at my bank. Seeing my car bigger than.

That, you look like you got the big back on the TV man.

But you have to understand this, this, this, this place here, it's about me being a minimalist. It's about everything is all white white. So I don't what they got to do with that small ass TV. Why would I? Because I want everything small. That's the whole point. I don't room.

You can still center it? Yees no, because it got case said. The piano's over there?

But that ain't got nothing to do with that small ass TV on that big ass wall.

That's not centered.

Congratulations on the film and good luck at the Big Three. Appreciate your time. Fell's page. All right, no problem, yep Ojo,

The comeback is already in motion. Hashtag why not now?

Knowing that he had damaged ligaments in his hand, does that change that? Because you know, look, we know the roller coaster. Russ is gonna be on. He's gonna make some great plays, he's gonna give you a hustle, he's gonna rebound, he's gonna turn the ball over, he's gonna miss some shots. But does that change anything about how we see Russ right now that were knowing that he had this damage in his and the two breaks in

Yeah, because you got to realize he shoots the ball right handed, but Russ is left handed, don't yo what Yeah, he writes with his left hand. Does he does everything? He does everything with his left hand except shoot the basketball.

The same thing with Lebron, Say, I know Lebron like that. Lebron does everything with his left hand except shoot the basketball.

I think that's crazy. Great that you start you started like that very early, right that nothing.

You Okay, well, Lebron said, Lebron said, you know, being left it. Not a whole lot of people was left it. Michael Jordan shop right handed, so he wanted to be like Mike. But the only thing that Lebron does with his right hand is shoot the basketball. Everything else is done with his left hand. Okay, that's how I know that wasn't the ball that he gave you, because that's the right handed person that wrote that on that ball.

Lebron is left handed. No, no, no, that Lebron gave me that ball.

And it's just a view with you sitting at home looking at it from from the from the camera angle looking at me is just like you thought that TV was small.

He thought it was an iPad.

See, that's a different And so when I when I turned the ball to you, it looks like it's written with someone with the right hand, but it's really a left hand.

Let's left handed penmanship. I'm telling you, you.

Know, Like you notice I haven't had the ball with me in the last few episodes, right, we talked about basketball.

You're Worre's at now I got it in glass in the case.

Oh you gotta chill, you gotta stop it, bro, what you gotta stop it? Hey, listen you we talked about accountability on here and all that, right you yay, hey, come on now you got Come on.

I got it, okay, all right, I got that ball in the glass case. Though Joe said, oh you gotta stop it.

Say look, I didn't keep sitting on here hanging out with y'all and this man come on here lying like this no more.

I'm sorry.

Found that, that found that person that found the foundation.

Yes, the match that that stability, and how everything else seems to flow and go correctly in life after that.

Oh Joe, boy, I need I need some of that. Joke you say you want to be a part of some of their cools.

Hey, Joe, I need some of that. Joe, Hey, I tell you what you got me over here crying? Yeah, go hey, hey, listen, man, I didn't I'd have had my run by the Hummer jersey, hunger jersey and the rafts out the.

Carmelo Anthter is slated to be inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the twenty twenty five class Later this year, we'll Mellow Texas place in the Hall of Fame. He wants Michael Jordan, Alan Iverson, and Dwayne Wade to introduce him into the Hall.

My life is impacted by more than one person. I need three. Well, thank you, Joe, Hey Love.

Because you know, he was a Brand Jordan and he's been with Brand Jordan basically his whole career, like the face the Face of Bran Yeah Jordan, Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's probably one of the first guys to have his own signature. Shoot yep, I know the guys like Mike Bibi Ray Allen was there when the brand first started, but guys who came in and really had their own signature.

Shoot, I think Mellow was the first one. Yeah.

Uh, I think dwhite House said he want three guys to walk him out too. I know he said Shack. I forget the other two, but I think Dwight Howard Uh.

Mentioned that.

Actually, look look for that Ashual who D white House said he wanted to walk him out. Hey, look, and I'm I'm I'm I'm happy for uh, DWIGHTE and Shaq too, you know, for yeah, you know, selling the differences man and you know, being grown man man. We got to put away the child as ways and you get up. I mean obviously you know Dwight looked up to him.

He had to. Hell, we all looked up to Shack, you know what I mean.

So I'm happy for those guys man getting inducted this you know, it's gonna be a memorable moment. Yeah, he said he wanted Dwight House said he wanted Shack, Kareem and KG.

Yeah, that'd be a good one. Yeah you know what, Yeah, he.

Didn't kind of have few. You know, he had him and him and Casey had they look back and forth when we played uh, you know, him and him in shock kind of so you know this, this is this is pretty cool to kind of have things come for a circle. Yeah, dude, so you competed with, competed against, and uh, you know, for them to induct him into the Hall of Fame, I.

Think they'll be cool. Yeah, that'd be awesome. Yeah. A J. Brown was crying going on the roller coaster for the first time in his life.

Hey, I don't. I don't think A J. Brown really understands, he said. Two of the hardest hitters that played it. He said, ray Lewis and Cam Chancellor, I guarantee you if you played in that era with the with the lesion of boom and cam Chancer coming downhill on you, or Ray caught you on one of them slants, he's gonna choose that roller coaster instead.

Just like he wouldn't run that. He didn't want to ride that roller coast again. He ain't gonna run and run that slam again. And you know now your guys running one step slant route.

Yeah, oh no, you're getting the head start. You getting the head start, got to get in there a full three step slam.

Yeah. Hell yeah, I live. I live. Because here's the thing, though, Joe.

You had to catch it because if you didn't catch it, they gonna knock hell out you if you did. If you didn't catch it, they're gonna say you're scared, that's why you didn't catch it. You get either way, so you might as well go ahead and catch it. You get, they're gonna be standing over your talking crazy. Oh Joe, you get call when you come pron that metal.

Trying to tell them. Man, Why do they think i'd be playing? They think I'd be trying to come up with all kind of excuses. Are you just scared? You know?

Man? Please I understand.

Yeah, I can't do it old Joe. You know, I feel like the old I don't got the scary I didn't got.

Mm hmm boy.

Yeah, But like I said, that's uh, that's me. I'm frozen for some reason. Y'all can hear me?

Can you hear me?

We can hear you.

That's that that's that dialar wi fi you using it? There? No, we ain't got we ain't got a dunk un the nights. I ain't. I ain't e dial uped that. Oh you knowne went out? Oh there you go. I'm back now, I'm back, Yeah back.

Jamar Chase not really one hundred percent on playing flag football in the twenty twenty eight Olympics.

I don't know.

I want to hear more information about it. I want to know the timing for US off season, end of season. I want to know if we're getting paid. I want to know where we're traveling every week, every other day, every day, like all parts of it.

Because we have an off season, we have a life. How long would it be. I don't know.

There's a lot of questions to it. I think it's pretty cool, but I'm not really one hundred percent on it yet.

Yeah, I mean I like it.

I like it and I like also After heard one of the reporters ask him how he felt about those that love and play the game of flag football professionally and making sure they're incorporated in some way, he said, obviously, he says he needs to do his homework on it, but listen, du Set who obviously the quarterback, who's very very good and he plays flag flag at the highest level. You know, he spoke out and said, Hi, he felt it wasn't fair that the game they love is being

NFL football.

They can they can come help contribute and get a better understanding of the game. But actually them just going from NFL football with a certain set of rules and thinking they're going to learn and dominate the game of flag football, and just acidinine to think.

Yeah, flag tough man. Hey, look, I know we all, at least and y'all played the game of football. I played no other sport outside of basketball. But justic, what about a year ago we got a flag football team out here hamming part all.

Yeah, and guess what it's co ed man, We're getting our steamrolled out here.

I'm talking about Listen, I'm talking about the girls can throw catch. I'm talking about they got all type of little nuances in the game that if you ain't never played it, you're lost.

You hear me? Yeah, yeah, Hey, they game different.

Now. I thought for some NFL guys, I'm like, oh man, they'll probably be all right. But y'all saying, ain't no way. Yeah, it's hard, it's tough.

Hey Joe, it's too many, it's too it's too many tricks, there's too many nuances, it's too lide going on the knee. And they can manipulate the game in ways that NFL players aren't used to. I don't care how fast and quick you are, having those attributes you know, to apply to your game.

Now, that's all nice and dandy in the NFL.

But flag man, like you said, okay, how much time a they're gonna have to devote because it's not like it's like, oh, Joe, you might like basketball, but basketball, you know, when the when the pros came, you know, came back in ninety two when they went to Barcelona, bad practice. So what are you gonna do? You should

Yeah, ain't trying to get it. And just like the guys in basketball, Joe, they got to give up a large part of the off season.

Joe, you got through the uh what she comes over with, and then you got you know, like in basketball, they got the world and they got all the usas and they got all this other stuff. But it's it's gonna be different. It ain't just okay you Hey, y'all just show up. He's don't have to put I understand what Chase is talking about. Chemistry and continuity. Man, you can't cheat that. You know, you can't cheat. You think you can have the most talented guys and just go out

That's where you don't know the know the rules and you haven't been doing it for a very long time.

Yeah, I agree.

The Bears are reportedly looking for Caleb Williams to improve his body language and other fine finer nuances.

Per Abbert Brear.

While the coaches understood the beating they that he took, they showed faim to emphasize how he'd been slow to pull himself off the ground. Williams reportedly is eagerly to make these changes. I agree, body language is everything. Show you you know, ideas.

Yeah, yeah, But listen, we talked about Chicago. We talked about Chicago Bears. We talk about the same team that had Jake Cutler, who showed no emotion.

The whole time.

All right, but I told I totally understand I totally understand them. But keep your quarterback up right, keep your quarterback up right the best way you can. He wouldn't have to be slow to get up off the ground because he's tired of get up tied to get him up from there. He's tired. I understand him. That's why he's getting up slowed. The fast, the faster you get up, the QUICKI you're gonna be back back down there.

M Well, I think you're just like, you know, like the quarterbacks normally they normally spring up. Because now you make it seem like it's the offensive line. And you know you don't want to show anybody up, so you know, just just pop on back up, like hey, yeah we know a we know you take.

Yeah, we know you get.

And like you said, the coaches understood the beating that he took. But hey, I ain't finna show the defense.

Y'all.

Ain't finna know. Somebody might get a clean shot on me, o Joe, but you ain't gonna know it. If I can get up, I'm gonna get my ass up. I don't have some stuff broken. I laid right there, y'all come on to get me. Well, I wrote my collar bone fracted by oy socker joke up. I laid right there. But other than that, I touch some TuS of mean shots. Yeah, don't remember a whole lot, but that orbital bone.

Yeah, hey, he laid out. I was laid out for a minute too, man. That's that hurt.

It made it feelt like the whole side of my face exploded. Man, listen, when I did, they took me to the back. Man, I thought somebody was hitting in the back of my head with a hammer. That thing hurting, so baby just was ringing. Yeah, what what I'm talking they wasn't going away, o Joe, Damn, I'm talking about ringing ringing.

That ain't hurt. It definitely hurt.

The Falcons posted this picture today before promptly promptly deleting it. We're out here three twenty eight. What's wrong with it? Why they delete it? Huh yeah, what we miss her? Twenty eighty three Patriots Falcus Oh.

Man, Oh okay, okay, oh soy they got there, somebody the jokes, the jokes went flying.

Uh yep okay, I understandable. But that's the past. That's the past. Deleted for that. Man. Look here, and now they're gonna ever forget that.

Joe. You better tell it, man, listen, o joy, it's so happened. I was playing for the Brooklyn Nets at the time, but I was here in Atlanta. We was finna play the Hawks, right a couple of days, so you know, I had a little shin dig at the crib. My partner came over here, he had his wife and

What I tell you, Hey, I'm not not even trying to be funny. When the twenty eighty three on them, I honestly thought the game was over. I had jumped on the video game. I started playing FIFA because I'm just thinking about it. And you know, as playing the game as long as I played it, especially two teams that are as good as they are to get to the super Bowl, to be down twenty eight three, there's really no way you can come back from that.

Run the ball.

They made a mistake. They would not run the football. How you How you up twenty eight three and you have fewer rushes in the second half that the team that's down twenty eight three. Matt Ryan, No, damn well, he can't take a sack because the in field goal range, and he took a sack.

And the play that changed it is when Tevin Campbell got hurt.

They brought the back up back in I forget it, I forget his name, and he whiffed and Hot Tower they had the gout open for a touchdown and Matt Ryan was fine to throw it and in the process, High Tower hit him.

He fumbled. M rot.

That that fourth down catch from Edelman two, that ain't Oh yeah, that ain't number Well it was almost picked off. Yeah, that was number of the football guys, right, but think about it. Lay the ball gave oh Joe the fourth quarter. I think it was like inside of two minutes. Julio made that great toe touch. Yeah in field goal.

Yeah, ass line.

Oh that was beautiful you and field goal range. Now just run the football? Yeah, why would you? Why would you? And Matt Ryan had been played long enough. He knows he can't take a sack in that situation. Oh Joe, he can't.

You just can't.

Hey, look, they built that beautiful, that beautiful stadium right

Get right back to that, and uh, it's hard to get back both.

Listen, man, you think you gotta think about it, hold on. They went They played us in ninety eight, so it was almost twenty years before they went back again.

All right, boy, Hey, I think people people have been spoiled by the Patriots consistently going back over and over. No Oria, in Kansas City, in Kansas City. Now recently it's hard, man, And it's a testament to how great twelve and fifteen are.

Yep, there's a reason they make. Man, You get the point. I don't need to I don't need to get into that.

Someone built the worst franchise, the worst NFL franchises, building the worst NFL franchises. Logo Washington, Jersey, the Browns Stadium, Commanders, Offense, Browns Defense, Jags coaching, Cowboys City Las Vegas Fans, Chargers, mascot raiders. Hold on, y'all think, oh, y'all got the Weekend Jersey. Who the Browns? They got the Weekend Jersey? Yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on, huh what you seen?

When you think of the Browns, you think of that jersey that's in that picture. Okay, yeah, you're right, And look at the helmet. Ain't got no detail. Yeah, right, stadium. Now, I hadn't played in that stadium in oh my goodness, almost twenty almost thirty years, so I don't know what it was. It was fairly new when we played in it, so it seemed. But obviously they're looking to build a

I was wrong with Vegas. I don't know. I didn't understand that one fans.

Charges ain't got no fan they should what this should what the Charges should have done? O Joe was renovated that stadium. I do on the first of all, you don't have the fan base that's gonna follow you. If I'm a Chargers fan, I'm not driving. I'm not driving that. I'm not driving.

No.

Two hours, Well it's only like ninety minutes, that's says, everything is perfect. If the interstate opens up, it's ninety minutes. But it's probably about three year and a half four hours. Man, Chargers ain't got no fan base like that.

They don't. I'm being I'm being honest.

They should have just read the money that they put to go into so far so they could be second class to the Rams. They should have just put that money into that stadium and built that right there. And the mascot what the rated and the red used to have. I don't know if that's what it used to be, the black guy, the pirty guy with the shoulder pass. Hey, hold on, do the Chargers and the Rams had the

Now.

Well, it's a different game now, okay it is. You know when I came into the league. You have two traditional bigs. Your four man was not shooting three.

Yo.

Your five man was not shooting three.

Nope. You played inside out. Yeah yeah, that's how you play nowadays.

If you need a scoring point guard, and that's what we're gonna play through you're scoring point guard or scoring two or scoring three. They don't got through the bigs no more. No, the bigs gotta get it how they live. Get that thing let go with it.

Yeah.

The only big that they played through is Yoke that's it him and MB that's it n B yep. But they're probably the only true centers that we have left in the game. They can play with the back to the basket and face up. Yeah, because at the time, Joe, there's only one guy that can shoot the ball at the three. The big that was Dirk. Yeah, it wasn't. He was the only stretch. Yeah, because you look at it. Uh, even Tim dunkin KG. None of them dudes are shooting three. Hell,

You still want to go to Jamaica. I can see you that I do. I wouldn't go to Jamaica so bad. Yeah, oh okay, Sir Kate said my guys. Two questions I sold Joe, is Tim's on the hot seat after this season playoff run up? And O Joe was an earlier analysis on Josh Allen finally getting over the hump Josh Allen and Lamar finally getting over the hump this year. Joe, your first is Tim's on the hot seat. I don't think he's gonna be on the hot seat. I don't

Uh, maybe they need to add a little more.

Depth to the bench, yep, because I think running these dudes in the ground as they as they age, you get a little older, you know, man, it takes a couple of years off of you.

Okay, yeah, you know what I mean. Yep.

And he playing those guys heavy minutes during the regular season. Yeah, so it's gonna be I don't think. Look, they knocked off the defending champs. They did it in five games. Yeah, so I think that bought him another year.

I do too. I think he's gonna be all right. They gotta get some help, though.

They gotta get them bought some help off their bench because it's just too much pressure on Brunton and Cat to perform at the level that they need to perform in for them to be every night. Yeah, they too hard, man, it's too it's too challenging. Oh yo, Josh Allen and Lamar getting over the hump this year.

Uh man, listen, if anybody get over the hump is gonna be my goddamn Bengals.

Now, if there's anybody else that's gonna be in.

The hunt to actually get over the hump as well. It would be Lamar and it'd be goddamn Josh Allen. It's gonna come down to those three on the back end of things too. You know, Yeah, who plays mistake free football, whoever plays mistake free football when it matters most, they they're gonna get over there.

I'm just hoping it's us. I'm hoping. Yeah.

Well, Chase, think you guys might need to play a little bit more in the preseason.

Oh so you don't start us. I like him when he said that. I like when you did that.
