00:00When you're playing in a high-level game,
00:02and a thing that you always do lets you down,
00:05what's going through your head as an athlete?
00:07Because at home, players are just screaming at you going,
00:10yo, you didn't catch that, yo, Ocho, you idiot,
00:13a simple touch.
00:14What is happening in your head as an athlete?
00:16I can't even hear the outside noise.
00:18No, but I'm saying what's happening in your head.
00:20Oh, damn.
00:21And I know I messed up, like when you drop a ball.
00:23Okay.
00:23Third down.
00:24Yeah.
00:25You know they come into you on third down,
00:26and you drop it, oh, like, oh, man.
00:29I let everybody down.
00:30That's how you feel.
00:31That's one of the worst feelings in the world.
00:33And you want to hope your team, your offensive coordinator,
00:37your quarterback come back to you sooner.
00:38So you can get it out.
00:40But now, are there some players who don't want the ball too soon
00:42because they take long to get out of their heads?
00:45Because I feel like some players, when I watch the game,
00:49whether it's soccer, whether it's football, whether it's basketball,
00:51I feel like some players think about a play that went wrong
00:55a few plays later, and then they linger.
00:58And then some players, they just wipe it from their memory.
01:00You've got to have a short memory.
01:01Yeah.
01:02You've got to have a short memory, especially if you play defensive back.
01:05Yeah.
01:05You're going to get beat by some of the best receivers in the NFL.
01:07Okay.
01:08You've got to forget it.
01:09Next play.
01:09You've got to go.
01:09You drop a ball, forget it.
01:11You've got to let it go.
01:12Because if you think about it, the next ball is going to beat you up again.
01:16But now, let me add to his question.
01:18So he asked what's going through your mind.
01:20When you drop a ball, because I'm assuming at that level,
01:22it's muscle memory.
01:24Do you feel like your body has let you down?
01:26No.
01:26No.
01:27Anytime you drop a ball, it's because you took your eye off the ball too soon.
01:30Always.
01:30Oh, that's it.
01:31It's always the same reason why you drop a ball.
01:34Damn.
01:34Okay.
01:34I didn't know that at that level, it's the same mistake that we're making at our level.
01:38You've got to keep your eye on the ball all the time.
01:40At our level.
01:41Yeah.
01:42Yeah, yeah.
01:42That's the thing that, like, Trevor always, when we speak about sports,
01:45Trevor's always, like, not under, or asking the question he's got to ask you now,
01:49because you've got a world-class athlete here, is, like, a simple, like, a five-yard pass.
01:53Yeah.
01:53Trevor's like, I don't understand how, if they can make 40-yard passes.
01:59They can miss, yeah.
01:59Why do they, how is it possible to miss a five-yard pass?
02:02When it's, like, your job is what I'm saying.
02:05It's, sometimes you mess up.
02:07Yeah.
02:07Sometimes you mess up.
02:08Especially, you think, some of the passes that are throwing a receiver so easy, like, five yards.
02:13Yeah.
02:13And if you ever slow it down, if you have the opportunity to slow it down,
02:16you'll notice, before the ball gets there, they start looking away.
02:20Oh.
02:20If people are coming at you.
02:21Okay.
02:22They're focused on what's coming at them instead of locking down the ball.
02:24Okay.
02:25That makes a lot of sense.
02:26They say, Eugene, please share your, your theory about all sports being rigged with a professional athlete.
02:31Uh-huh.
02:31Yes.
02:32And now he has no words.
02:34Look at you, man.
02:35Now he has no words.
02:36Two things can be true at the same time.
02:39One, I have no words.
02:40Two, I have many words.
02:41No.
02:41You're not getting out of this.
02:42My conspiracy is, professional sport is called organized sport for a reason.
02:47Yes.
02:48First, it's a business.
02:49Mm-hmm.
02:49And secondly, it's entertainment.
02:51I think the business trumps entertainment.
02:54Yes.
02:54So when it's good for the franchise to do well, and for the sponsors to commit commercially,
03:00if things need to be done, they will be done.
03:03But how are they done?
03:04He means on the field, too.
03:05I thought you'll never ask.
03:08LAUGHTER
03:09I made the trap, and you walked into it.
03:12Let's, let's, let's take, let's make a hypothetical example.
03:17Yes.
03:18There's two basketball franchises.
03:20Yes.
03:20Game five is coming up.
03:21I don't know.
03:22I don't know.
03:23I'm just saying hypothetically.
03:24Yes.
03:25Game five is coming up, right?
03:26One is up, one is down.
03:29But if the other one wins, the series is over.
03:32The championship goes this way.
03:33Yes.
03:33But if the other one loses, the one that's leading, I mean, we can go game six.
03:38Right?
03:38Isn't that more money for the, for the franchises?
03:41Yes.
03:41More publicity for the sport, more eyes.
03:44Um, the fans get more value for money.
03:47So in my head, I think, if I was sitting there in the federation, why don't we just go one
03:52more?
03:52But how are we going to go one more?
03:54Because you can't control the players.
03:57No one's going to agree to throw in a game.
03:59That's where this theory comes in.
04:01And that was influenced by a friend of mine, which I wouldn't name.
04:03Trevor.
04:06But you start to influence the officials that are officiating the game to be more favorable
04:11to a certain team.
04:12Mm-hmm.
04:13Mostly, it's always the home team.
04:16Oh, that's an interesting idea.
04:18Tell us more, Chad.
04:19No, I'm just saying most of the time.
04:21For this one, you'll be Chad.
04:22You're not Ocho.
04:22Yeah.
04:23Until you bring the fire.
04:26Chad brings the facts.
04:28Ocho brings the fire.
04:29Listen, most of the time when you watch games, teams get more calls favorable in those situations.
04:36Those who are playing at home.
04:37But I think if the crowd is affecting the situation.
04:39When it comes to basketball, it happens all the time.
04:41So with that theory, don't you think that the Spurs will get a favorable result?
04:46Because they're playing in San Antonio tomorrow?
04:48Yeah, yeah.
04:48No, because the Knicks are going to win.
04:50I'm telling you ahead of time.
04:51Knicks in five.
04:52Yeah, Knicks in five.
04:53I had a Knicks in six.
04:55But the way the Spurs playing...
04:56I am Knicks in six.
04:57Oh.
04:57Oh, you said Pope on my side, Knicks in five.
05:00Yeah, but that was the chant.
05:01Until I realized that I wanted to go longer.
05:04Oh, so I had them losing the way the Spurs were supposed to last.
05:07That's the right.
05:07You guys, in general, before the series...
05:09The first hydration break, let's see if they go to the end.
05:11No, they're not going anywhere.
05:12They're not going anywhere.
05:13Knicks in six, grab your Twix.
05:14I said it.
05:15Oh.
05:16Get in a lot.
05:18Knicks in six, grab your Twix.
05:20All right?
05:20Oh, man.
05:21Can I tell you what I love about...
05:23I mean, I don't watch basketball.
05:24Yeah.
05:25I don't.
05:25So I've been guessing the entire time during the playoff series,
05:28and I've been right every single day.
05:28You've been guessing right all along?
05:29Guessing all the whole time.
05:31So you think it's Knicks in five now?
05:32Just gone down further.
05:33The Knicks aren't losing.
05:34They're not losing back home.
05:35In.
05:36They're not losing.
