Nightcap Hour 2: Lamont Roach Jr. joins NIGHTCAP + Chip Kelly was MESSING UP play calls + Justin Fields SPEAKS on GETTING BENCHED + D-Wade LEBRON vs MJ

22:24Shannon Sharpe:Yes, sir. Ocho Joe, new reports have come out saying Chip Kelly was messing up his own play calls and calling plays not installed. According to Tom Pelissero, there are all kinds of different stories that just came to function. of the Raiders offense. There were times I was told that Chip Kelly was repeating botching the plays called. So Geno Smith was going to the line of script and saying, this doesn't look right, and they're not having a run play. Reports also indicate it was Tom Brady's idea to hire Chip Kelly as OC and possibly potential successor to head coach Pete Carroll. Well, we know normally great players, they don't make the best head coaches and talent evaluators.

23:06Now, I don't know if this is true.

23:09Shannon Sharpe:That's what's being reported. So we just take this with a grain of salt. But Ocho, if this is true. Yeah, and that's bad. Also, that is reported that Brady didn't want Shadour. Like I said, those are reports. That's not Ocho and I and Joe, and that's not us. Chat, you guys have read the reports also.

23:32Shannon Sharpe:But to hire a first-year coordinator and him be terminated before the season, that is a terrible look.

23:41Chad Johnson:Yes, sir.

23:42Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And I think the thing is for the Raiders, and this is probably a lot that has to do with why the Raiders have so much dysfunction, because they don't have and they haven't had stability in a very long time. Right. they don't have a coach longer than a couple of years. They don't have a GM longer than a couple of years. They can't find a quarterback. They keep thinking that they're going to find that everybody is not meant to be Mahomes or Lamar or Josh Allen or Joe Burrow. Sometimes you're going to have to win with, say, a lesser, maybe not a tier one quarterback, but maybe he might need to be in that tier two, and then you get better pieces around him, Ocho.

24:22Shannon Sharpe:But this notion that everybody from the beginning of time has always had a number one quarterback is just not true no but this is this is the thing if you don't have a quarterback that's not like brady or not like mahomes or or your joe burrows your lamars then your drafting prowess has to be that much better and being able to build around them so you have to hit on the on your draft picks and the supporting cast you know around your quarterback in order to have success if you don't catch one of the big fish like a damn mahomes or Josh Allen. Yes. That comes down to, that's on the organization as well.

24:58But it's very difficult. It's very difficult to hit not only on draft picks, but to make sure they're going to stick, you know, for 10 years or more. Unless you get a quarterback, it's up in the air.

25:15Shannon Sharpe:It's just hard for me to see, Ocho. A guy as great as Tom Brady being able to pick another Tom Brady.

25:25that's tough there

25:27Shannon Sharpe:it is now I'm not saying that if a free agent becomes available like John did with Peyton but to draft one it's hard for great most of the great evaluators they weren't look at the guys that's picking those NBA players look at RC Buford look at the guy that's in OKC

25:50Chad Johnson:Preston

25:50Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Sam Preston. Ain't playing liquor ball.

25:56Shannon Sharpe:The only basket they had was Easter basket. Ain't had nothing about no basketball, no basketball. So it's just hard. And look, I get it. A guy that's well accomplished is Brady, but it's going to be hard for him to hit on players because he was so great. Yeah, but you don't think – And he thinking – because what came easy to him, Ocho, is hard to everybody else. and he's like man I could do that in my sleep yeah you Tom Brady that's right yes don't you think he might have success simply because he knows what it's supposed to look like and hit the eye test every everyone has to know no I don't I think it's even harder okay because I had a conversation with magic and magic said it's hard he said because it was easy for me and I'm like why can't you do that and people say well because he's not magic Johnson Think about when you great You basically think everybody else should be great Because and I'm not saying it's easy Because there are some things that came easy But you worked at it Right So now things that came like second nature to you It's like Damn son How many times we got to go over this

27:10Chad Johnson:That's why you ain't got no patience to coach

27:15Shannon Sharpe:I think the only thing that can help Tom, he suit up for one year to show him how it's done.

27:22Chad Johnson:Nah. Nah. Because you got to have weapons too, Uncle. You got to have some weapons. You just can't have no good quarterback and you ain't got no weapons out there.

27:30Shannon Sharpe:Well, they traded their best receiver. I mean, the best player on the opposite side of football is Brock Bowers. But they traded their best receiver, which was Jacoby Myers. Well, if you trade your best receiver, What are you telling the team, Bocho? Hey, that's basically a reset button. That's basically a reset button. Hey, let's say, how about this, Joe? And Unk, hypothetically speaking, you know, but F it. Brady say, you know what? I'm leaving the booth. I'm coming back to play quarterback for the Raiders. In the offseason, Mark Davis goes and get number three from the Cowboys, brings him on over there to Las Vegas.

28:12I'm just throwing that out there.

28:14Shannon Sharpe:Let me ask you a question. You tell me where a guy can make September, October, November, December, January, and when they have the Super Bowl, work six months out of the year and make$37.5 million. Now, when you're leaving your job where you make $37.5 million to work five months and two weeks,

28:34Chad Johnson:it ain't happening.

28:35Shannon Sharpe:I'm asking you I'm asking Ocho would you do that is there a job that you make that you would leave your job you work five months and two weeks when you have the Super Bowl 37 and a half million dollars would you do that no hey I don't hey Joe I know a job you can make 37 million in a week though I don't think you want to do it because the chances yeah and i know a place they'll send you to turn big rocks into little rocks

29:13Chad Johnson:hey ocho and why you always trying to give pick away to somebody man why we just can't keep him in dallas why you trying to come on i want what's best i want what's best for pickings man joe i'm saying listen what's best is he looks so good i know i know what he looks like joe why you want to send him out there to oakland somewhere and the man getting double and triple team now he ain't getting okay now he acting like a man to get his money Joe and I know how you own a play Joe I know how you own a play Joe no disrespect to the Cowboys you know I just I just know how you play you know and and and and his agent you know brother Mugletta he ain't going for that man we ain't playing them games like he played with Micah man come on man come on Joe he done did it he didn't did with everybody Joe all of a sudden all of a sudden now cutting the pickings everything's supposed to be so much more different so anybody got time for that Joe you never know we got to see how thing play out Ocho we done seen him play out with everybody else we're supposed to make him any different it played out with it damn it played out with Dak what the hell you think gonna make it different with pick that you gotta fight you gotta fight you gotta fight like Joe you gotta fight tooth and nail for your money Joe every time yeah I'm saying I'm saying he gonna he gonna fight Ocho but you gotta be patient have some patience you know they say patience is a virtue but sometimes patient how you looking like a fool how you looking like a fool because i remember back in elementary uh and joe i was patient this little girl little girl named tammy you know yeah my pe coach told me just be patient with her i was patient joe the whole summer went along joe and she picked me yeah she picked some little ugly some little ugly dude man named corey and he wore loafers to school with the penny in the front yeah they call a penny loafer come on man how you gonna he got on loafers with a penny in the front yeah like how you don't see the potential and who i was gonna be look how it turned out easy because you came to school barefoot yeah now when i wonder where she at now ah tammy now look at the lord don't hate on tabby tell me what i would a why huh don't hit on tammy yeah she probably she probably married cory and

Nah. Mm-hmm. Shoot. Mm-hmm. That's fine. My baby. Nasty rascal. I ain't nasty. I'm just doing what God put me on earth. God ain't do that. Don't put that on God. Don't do that on you. He did. Don't do that. Don't do that. God put me here to be a blessing and I'm blessing in all ways I can. Ocho, all I'm saying, Ocho, is that you can't eat off everybody's plate. Well, I don't eat it. It's like, Joe, Joe, every house you go to, you don't eat at everybody's house, right, Joe?

32:13I don't go to everybody's house.

32:16Shannon Sharpe:You eat off everybody's plate. I don't even leave my house. I don't even go nowhere. You know that's a figure of speech, right? I know it was a figure of speech, but I'm giving you a figure of my speech too. But Ocho, see, them things, what you be getting, oh, I already know you got to do all that. Nah, not really. Not really. Hey, listen, you got to remember, this is me. I ain't really got to do nothing, honestly. Yeah, you do. No, no. Yeah, you do. Hold on, let's not be fooled. This is me. Okay, go ahead. I ain't got to do nothing. now I might choose to bless you in that manner if I feel like it but I ain't gotta do nothing Ocho there was once upon a time let me tell you why talk to me because they got people out there they got just as much money as Ocho that got named just as big as Ocho because what Ocho want another will hey hold on but if something ain't nobody you don't build your you don't build dandy right yeah the word out it's it's something that nobody else got but me they say ocho got the best got the best jaws in town that's what the word is on the screen hey you know hey that's what i'm sure that's what's up hey hey i got something nobody else got nobody it's only me Joe, everybody know there was just one that was in college.

39:43Shannon Sharpe:Justin Fields spoke to reporters for the first time since being benched for Tyrod Taylor. Fields admitted the decision to remove him from the starting role wasn't one he was anticipating. Fields made it clear he's expected to be starting quarterback in the NFL again in the future. The Jets signed Fields to a two-year$40 million contract with$30 million of the money coming guaranteed, leaving the door open for the two sides to part ways after the season. Now that he's been demoted to a backup role, it appears likely that Fields would not be the quarterback in 2026. Damn. Hello, Ocho. What do you mean you weren't anticipating this?

40:21Shannon Sharpe:bro you got four or five games in which you throw for less than 100 yards you've got a couple of games you throw for less than 60 what do you mean yeah i mean listen obviously when he says what what what do you mean maybe he's surprised because what do i have to work with there's a reason why i haven't been successful as a quarterback hell before i got here there were no other quarterbacks that was successful, you know, before I got here. So maybe I'm not the problem. But they're going to say you weren't that successful in other places that you were either. Remember, it was you that allowed them to get the number one pick.

41:00Hey, I mean, listen, you're right. I'm with you when you're right, but they haven't found that quarterback yet. I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's a Jets organization. I don't know if they did something bad to somebody in the past. they just had they just having bad luck all all the way around and i really thought really honestly honestly joe i really thought this was justin field's time this was i did too i can't i can't lie i agree this is his team he doesn't have to worry about anybody no quarterbacks you don't have to look over his shoulder he can play with the free mind and just go out there and do what he our guy.

41:39They gave him the keys and things just, I don't know what was wrong, Joe.

41:45Chad Johnson:Hey, listen, kind of like we were just talking about, I know they got Gary Wilson over there. But man, he need weapons. Okay, Ocho, we putting these quarterbacks in these positions thinking they just supposed to come out here and light it up. Damn, if you ain't got no elite receivers, how you supposed to do all that? That's what I'm saying. Ocho,

42:04Shannon Sharpe:all things being equal. Joe, Ocho, Justin Fields, your starting quarterback. You a free agent. Are you going to the Jets? If I'm a wide receiver. No, you're not. You're looking at the quarterback situation. Oh, you can go to the Rams or I can go to the Jets. I can go to Kansas City. I can go. No, Ocho, you're not. I'm going to Chicago. I'm not going to no. I'm just not. And nobody, no receiver, because we know the receivers want the ball, and that's how you're not going there. If I got a choice, if I get traded there, I get drafted there, they've removed that from me. But if I got a choice in free agency there, no.

42:50No. I'm not.

42:53Shannon Sharpe:Just not.

42:58Shannon Sharpe:So Sam Darnold, Geno Baker rebuilt their careers elsewhere. so let's see but it have been a few places Chicago, Pittsburgh not a Jets but here's the thing is that all those guys are different because most of those guys are really drop back quarterbacks can throw the ball from the pocket that's really not Phil's strength so he's going to have to go somewhere Ocho So a great place for him, but I don't, they don't look, they got Purdy and they got Matt Jones. Now would be San Francisco. I mean, hold on. What would be the difference in Trey Lance and Justin Fields? Cause now you're putting the break back in the same situation.

43:47They've already had a quarterback already like that.

43:51Shannon Sharpe:The difference between Trey Lance, they had expectations. You're the third pick in the draft. You're on your third. You'll just be your 14. You don't have the same level of expectations. And guess what? he's not going to be a starter. You're getting the same quarterback, though. It's still the same thing. You don't think Justin Fields is a better thrower to football than Trey Lance? Because here's the thing with Trey Lance, Ocho. He basically played 17 games in his collegiate career. Because remember, he had that great season and then COVID happened.

44:23Shannon Sharpe:But he's going to have to go somewhere. and if you go if they're having an influx of talent at the at the wide receiver in the tight end position right they're not looking for justin fields oh joe oh man i i i hate that for young bull honestly man i hate that just that that has to do something to your confidence everything's in work out in chicago hell you go to goddamn pittsburgh you're playing well then they bench you once Russell Wilson gets healthy. You leave there. You come to New York. You put all this work in the offseason. Finally, I got my turn. I got my team. I got my opportunity. And things don't work out.

45:03I just... I'm not even him. And I feel bad. So I can understand what it's probably doing for him mentally. That has to be crushing, man. What about Baltimore? Can he go back up Lamar? Yeah. Yeah, I like that. That's a good one.

45:21Chad Johnson:that's a good one i like it because i i don't think it's a bad idea to kind of have to sit and watch sometime you know what i mean and i'm sure it's opportunity to come again but uh i wouldn't mind seeing him sitting behind lamar and uh just kind of watching you never know what what may happen i don't know damn man that's what is nfl crazy boy but you go you go to a bad team man how you losing all your confidence thinking there's something really wrong with you when there's really nothing wrong with you and just your surroundings. Now, as much as you want to adapt to your surroundings, when you're in a losing environment, there's not much you can do unless you're special.

46:00You got to be special to go to an environment like New York and change everything. Yeah.

46:08Shannon Sharpe:You got to be, man. And he's not that, I mean, Aaron Rodgers couldn't change it. And Aaron Rodgers had Garrett Wilson and Devontae Adams, and he couldn't change it with Brees Hall. Look at Devontae at the Rams. Cutting. Balling. Garrett Wilson was offensive rookie of the year. Was it Sam Darnold or was it, what's the guy's name? Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson. Maybe one of those guys. He has not looked the same since his rookie year. Yeah. And I know he can play because based on what I saw his rookie season, and they were supposed to be bringing in better quarterbacks than what he had as a rookie. Right.

46:59Chad Johnson:That is crazy.

47:04Shannon Sharpe:Yes. I don't know. Like I said, he might need to go somewhere. He might need to just go somewhere and sit for a year or so.

47:15Chad Johnson:and wait for his opportunity to come back

47:17Shannon Sharpe:because you can't keep ocho you can't keep going places you get a starting job in five six weeks into the season they bench you yeah you you lose all your confidence yeah not not only do you lose all confidence then you're hesitant and don't you can't play freely if you cannot play the game of football with a free mind and play fast you're gonna oh man it just that's not gonna be a good thing.

47:44Chad Johnson:I agree. Kind of similar to basketball. Read and react. You know what I mean? If you're out there thinking, overthinking, thinking too much, the game's going to be tough for you. You have to go out there and read and react and make plays, bro. You'd be one step behind.

48:01Shannon Sharpe:Steph Curry has reportedly parted ways with Under Armour after they failed to sign Kaitlyn Clark. According to reports, one sore point for Curry was he attempted last year to recruit Kaitlyn Clark to join his brand he and the company pursued the phenom but Under Armor offer failed offer excuse me trailed the total value of Nike's pitch Curry and his advisors became frustrated by what they viewed was an underinvestment in the brand meanwhile the division sales weren't meeting the company's or Curry's expectation Joe yeah that's that's kind Well, that's what I thought when I first seen that he's getting away from Under Armour.

48:46Chad Johnson:I was thinking that the sales probably wasn't what he predicted. But it is, man. It's funny seeing him in any other suit. I'm going to be honest with y 'all. I've been seeing him in Nike, Joy, and I'm like, it just don't look right. It's going to look right after a while because I'm going to be having him on.

49:05Shannon Sharpe:What you got?

49:07Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I know they're going to write him a big check. I know they're going to write him a big check. So I'm sure he's probably enjoying this moment, though, Uncle Ocho being a free agent.

49:16Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, he gets some cool stuff. I saw him in some Tinker Hatfields. He getting old stuff. I mean, he gets some really, really, really cool stuff. He had Travis Scott's on tonight, the mochas.

49:26Chad Johnson:Yeah, for real. He been, man, the man been wearing under armor for, what, 13 years? Yeah. Yeah, it's been that long? Oh, man, over a decade, Ocho, he couldn't be caught in nothing else. You know what I mean? so yeah he's definitely enjoying this moment but yeah it is a little weird to see him in anything else but I'm curious to see who he's gonna ultimately you know go with to kinda start to support the Curry brand but man if he the guy Caitlin what's that you got

49:54Shannon Sharpe:Steph Curry

49:57Chad Johnson:did he sign him

49:59Shannon Sharpe:yep

50:00Chad Johnson:hey um them thing gonna be worrisome one day boy

50:05Shannon Sharpe:Boy, hey, I might put these on because I think they're my size. I might put these on and go drop 20.

50:16Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. It just looks. It's tough. It's tough to beat Nike, Adidas that have been at this for so long. Yeah. See, I mean, had Jordan never went to Nike, you might have had a chance. Yeah. But ain't no shoe company gonna beat. Not when it come to them. Not when it come to athletic. They just got too much for our research and development. Right. I mean, you remember they came, they had the Sharks, and they had the Air Maxes, and they just on the cutting edge, and their apparel is just like, and I get it, but I just don't think even with Curry, they were gonna never be able to get a foothold because they had UCLA.

51:05Shannon Sharpe:They had to get out of that contract. They had a couple of others. They had to get out of those contracts. They just...

51:13Shannon Sharpe:Curry, just go ahead and go to the highest bidder. Nike is going to give you some good, solid money. Yeah. And ride it out for the next four or five years or however long you want to play.

51:25Chad Johnson:You're right. Because I wonder what Under Armour are trying to do. If they lose Steph Curry, I'm sure he was their biggest draw.

51:33Shannon Sharpe:He had on Onescu's, they sold out. Yeah. What's Onescu? Sabrina Onescu, the point guard for the Liberty. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay. Sold out. So he can, His influence. Yeah!

51:50Chad Johnson:Yeah, his influence is gonna be huge wherever he goes. So, I mean, this is a cool moment, man.

51:56Shannon Sharpe:Nike going to give him about 15 million, Go and forgive him somewhere 15, 20 million a year for a hundred million dollar deal for the next five years. Give him a look, give him a three logo. That's kinda low. Give him a three logo, huh? That's kinda low, huh?

52:13Chad Johnson:Nike, Nike got some, they got some hitters over there. They got some hitters over there.

52:18Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, you ain't got no job. Man, that's low ball, okay. You just keep giving us free advertising, okay. We talking about Steph Curry, now you talking about a hundred million. a goddamn gear. Gearwood Arenas made$100 million back then when he was playing. Ocho, he don't have a shoe deal. So you're going to keep wearing people's stuff, giving them free promotion? Well, it ain't really free promotion because everything he's wearing, obviously, you know, it's... It's selling out and he's not getting a dime from it. What you think? I just told you. I just, I mean... I'm going to tell you what I think, Joe.

52:55Go ahead. That's low balling.

52:56Chad Johnson:I think he's going by February he's going to find a brand that he's going to sign with and probably like All-Star Weekend he's probably going to debut the shoot. He's coming out. Yeah. I like that.

53:16Shannon Sharpe:At that point you're not really trying to get market share. You know you're trying to get 2 % because you're never going to put a big enough then into Nike or Adidas or something like that. And then really he was really the only under armor. At least if you look at Puma, Puma got a bunch. They got LaMelo Ball and I think they got a Halliburton.

53:43Chad Johnson:They got a nice little rock. It ain't the same though. I guarantee you Nike can come up with something nice for the next four or five years. Their creative team could have a new shoe a new model that would be really really dope that can rival some of the other players that are with Nike they can get creative with it they got the resources I think Adidas can too Adidas got some nice I like Ant-Man Ant-Man, James Harden maybe New Balance they got some guys over there no No No No Not New Balance No Not New Balance basketball shoes Absolutely not Adidas yes Nike

54:31Shannon Sharpe:You don't like the Kawhi Littles Where they got Kawhi They got what you call them too They got Cooper flag Nah

54:46Hey Joe I been working on my shot Joe

54:50Chad Johnson:You been working on your shot shot right here at home joe hey i'm i'm waiting i'm waiting on it uh when uh um who is that teddy Thanos which one is that Thanos hey Thanos look like a bear cub

55:10hey you gotta cut his hair uncle's hair getting big

55:14Shannon Sharpe:yeah it's getting cold out here Dwayne Wade provided a take on Michael Jordan LeBron James goat debate Dwayne said I'm going to say Michael Jordan is the greatest player I've ever watched He's the greatest player I've ever watched LeBron James is the greatest player I've ever seen You feeling me? I never saw Michael Jordan I watched Michael Jordan I saw, I've seen LeBron James up close and in person I played against, I played with I personally have not seen a greater basketball player but I've watched a great basketball player. Joe, what's your take?

55:49Chad Johnson:I totally understand what he's saying. Ocho, I grew up watching Michael Jordan. That's my goat. He made the game sexy. He made it to where as a kid, bro, growing up in the 90s, I wanted to be like Mike. You know what I mean? But what D-Wade is saying, that's probably who D-Wade grew up watching as well. Yeah, for sure. He's from Chicago. Yeah, but he played with LeBron James, who obviously right now, every time he scores a bucket, it goes down in history. You know what I mean? Like he is, he's going to be the GOAT when it comes to all these records, man. So I understand what he's saying. You know, getting a chance to play with LeBron.

56:31Chad Johnson:I played with LeBron in 06 in the Olympics. Hell of a player, bro. Hell of a player. I mean, he has no weaknesses.

56:39Shannon Sharpe:You was on the 014, Joe?

56:42Chad Johnson:Nah, I was on the 06. the the redeemed team we ain't getting no gold neither okay oh oh and the world championship man mellow d-way braun they owe me bro they owe me well we went down there uh argentina got y 'all huh argentine argentina they were good like that yeah they had this big dude yeah they did but they had this big dude in the middle oh i'm telling we had the white and Howard and everything. I'm talking about Apex Dwight. Man, we couldn't do nothing with this big boy they had down there.

57:18Shannon Sharpe:One thing them bigs could do in Europe, they're going to be able to pass the ball and they got tremendous footwork.

57:24Chad Johnson:Hey, I'm talking, this was a big body, big body. He wasn't shooting no threes or nothing. In the paint? He was a bruiser. Oh, man. Like Shaq? Yeah, but he was a lot shorter. Damn. But he was wide-bodied, man. I'm talking about we couldn't stop him. Dang

57:43Shannon Sharpe:Did you see LeBron last night? That performance that Luka, AR, and Bron Easy 25-6-6 No stress on the bottom

57:55Chad Johnson:Okay Ocho Lakers got two of the bad white boys Austin Reeves Austin Reeves and Luka And I think the beauty About all this is that Bron just kind of plays the Swiss Army knife he brings to the game what's needed. He don't go out there trying to score no 30-40. He gonna be cool right around like about 22 a game when it all comes down. 22-7-7. He can do what he want, Ocho. You know what I mean? He can feel the game out and he can assess like, okay, boom. I ain't really got to do a lot of scoring right now. I can just facilitate these boys hot as fish grease out here. Man, the way Luka came, I said, this boy's gonna go for

58:35Shannon Sharpe:60 tonight. Did you see him in the first quarter, Joe? Oh my God. I definitely thought he was going to go for six. He had 32 at the half. He cooled out a lot in the second half. He ended up only having 11 points, but he was going crazy. That first quarter, I was like, damn.

58:51Chad Johnson:Yeah, I was too. Probably the most beautiful thing about it is when he got going, you can see A.R. and Bruin, they kind of just let him roll. You know what I mean? They were not my turn. They let that man go until he just kind of, you know, started to cool off a little bit. And that's what I appreciate the most. Because when you get a guy that's hot, man, you got to feed him. See how far can he maintain this. And Luka was special in that first quarter, bro. Man. All right. It's time. Ocho. Go ahead, Joe. Go ahead. My bad. Ocho, that boy shooting that thing. Effortless three, four feet behind the three, man.

59:28He nice.

59:29Chad Johnson:He had like three in a row.

59:30Shannon Sharpe:Four in a row. Like, bop, bop, bop.

59:33Chad Johnson:Oh, man. Hey, well, you know, we can make this, I mean, for me, we can make it a better experience, right? It's one thing to talk about it, but, man, let's go sit courtside at the game, man. In what game? Shoot. We can go to a Laker game. We got a Hawks game. We got a better chance at a Hawks game than a Laker game. Boy, you gonna play arm and leg. You don't know nobody over there get us free tickets? For the Hawks? For the Lakers? No. No, not no free ones. Damn. We got some free one for Atlanta? Yeah. Yeah. We better get, we better have, you better have your feet on the wood. Oh, Joe. Hey, Joe.
