Have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and Degree listened. That doesn't happen often.
Colin Cowherd
They admitted that they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and and fresh. There's a reason it's the number one Manzani Purse Sprint and is back in Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4.
Chad Johnson
So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local stores to try the OG Cool Rush for yourself.

Shannon Sharpe
Oo. Before we get into our first topic.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Something happened yesterday, and you wanted an opportunity to respond, so the floor is yours.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, absolutely. Listen, listen, Cam. Cam has some. Some stuff to say, and I had to think about it and I had to listen to it and think about some stuff that was brought up from two years ago where I said, cam, you my mans, and I'm coming for your spot. Now, I'm not sure how that's taken as hate, when all you have to do is understand that. I'm saying I'm coming for your spot because I see you as the standard that is setting the bar in that specific space. So you took that as an insult, which is weird to me. I'm not sure how you. How you can do that. But if you check the Motherfucker. If you check the numbers, what I said I was gonna do, I've already done and surpassed that in this specific space. Now, he said. He asked me to come join them, you know, to do something with them. And I. I told him, you know, okay, you got to check with my people. You got to reach out to my people.
Unknown
Who.
Ocho Cinco
When I. When it was time for me to work with you, what did I ask you to do? Reach out to who?
Shannon Sharpe
I talked to Doug.
Ocho Cinco
You talked to Doug? So, boom, we did. You know, like that, right? That's the way I handle business, you know, I don't run nothing through me. So I guess that was seen as a sign of disrespect because I chose to come over here with you. Boom. Okay, now, we brought up the issue with. He talking about money and bags and how much you pay. Guest feature. You know how much we pay our guest features, buddy. I ain't no guest feature, boy. I'm the main attraction. What is you talk. What is you talking about? I always been the main attraction. There's a. There's a difference. In your lane, you do what you do. I'm in. I'm in completely different lanes and completely different rooms from you, despite me always playing around and joking different. For one, you wouldn't have been able to afford me to begin with. Let's start there. And I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I think because I do everything in entertaining, fun, laughing way, you kind of forget and don't really understand what's being done over here and how special what we have is. And that's no disrespect to them because. Cause I like. They show. I love it is what it is. Cause it's different than what we do. Their views, they got some high ones, but it's mainly about going at people and jigging at people, you know, over here, it's about having fun, entertaining. And the stories.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Ocho Cinco
Completely different. Two different shows. I love them, though. Then, you know Cam, He's a Harlem dude. I've been to Harlem. My face is clean in Harlem most of the time. Those that I know from Harlem, you know, they don't act like that. You getting a little emotional for nothing. Especially about stuff.
Shannon Sharpe
That allegedly happened two years ago.
Ocho Cinco
Two years ago. And it was. It was a sign of respect because I see you as the standard of what it is to be the best at in this space.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Ocho Cinco
Then the Stephen a. The Stephen a thing. You talk about weird, and I don't like. You don't like my vibes. Listen, for one, the whole world know I'm joking and trolling. It's a is. It's a funny story that wasn't even true to begin with. And you took that serious. So then, now you're getting personal with the words and the talking. I post my location, where I'm at every day. What you tell me to stop doing. Stop catching rides from the airport, right?
Shannon Sharpe
Yep.
Ocho Cinco
Everybody know where I am every single day. No matter what city I travel to, I'm outside all the time. If it was really an issue or you really didn't like me and it was a problem, I'm easy to find, especially in Miami, if I'm not mistaken, you'll be here. Y' all film here. If I'm not mistaken, I show everybody respect. Huh? I show everybody love. What's one problem that you've always gotten on me about doing a show like this? I don't do enough. What? When it comes to talking about players.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. You don't critique enough.
Ocho Cinco
I don't critique enough because I'm always showing love. I'm always showing respect. No matter what. I never get out of line with nobody.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Ocho Cinco
But the words that were displayed as if it was. It's a personal issue now. If it's a personal issue, which I've never had with anybody because I always show everybody love and respect. I'm easy to find because I'm outside always in Harlem, too. That's your stomping grounds, right? I be at Ricardo's all the time. Matter of Fact, I'm gonna be in New York Monday, and I'm gonna be at Ricardo's at five o', clock, to be exact. But it's. It's always. Always love, no, never disrespect. And that's it.
Shannon Sharpe
And I love you.
Ocho Cinco
And I love. And I love you. Unless you want to go another route.
Shannon Sharpe
The way I look at it, Ocho, I think you explained too much. You did what you did. You don't. You're not. You don't represent yourself. Most people, that's why you hire representation. If you didn't want representation, you could have done it on yourself. And, yeah, you could save 3, 5, 10%, but you chose to have a representative that funnels everything through. I reached out to Doug because I knew Doug was your representative. I didn't reach out to you first. I reached out to Doug. I said, hey, man, what's up with Ocho? Where I want to run something about Ocho. Funny. Ocho in town. Hey, can we meet at the Palm and such and such. Such and such a time you showed up. I made the pitch to you. You say, uncle, I'm good. I said, well, listen, don't even worry about the money. I trust you. So that's how we handle that. I don't.
Unknown
Like.
Shannon Sharpe
I said, look, people like, man, you don't. I say, bro, y' all gotta know what Ocho serious. And y' all gotta know what Ocho joking. Y' all don't seem to know which is which. So that's on y'. All. I know when he's joking. I know when he's being serious. But for me, Ocho, and we had this conversation. You hit me up yesterday. I say, for me, I just let it rock. I felt just. Then you explained too much.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I did listen. Sometimes. Sometimes you got to clear the air, right? You got to clear the air. Cause then you have an issue, right?
Shannon Sharpe
Well, he could have called you, Ojo, if that was the case. If he had an issue with you, he could have reached out the phone and he could have called you.
Ocho Cinco
That's how I know it wasn't an issue. It wasn't no issue. For real. You have a show to do. You have a. He has a show to do. He has a show to do. And I understand that. I understand that. But the disrespect. You don't have to like me. I don't care about that part. Get in line. It's a lot of them, right? But the disrespect like that and Then you got the wrong people hearing it, and it's ruffling feathers. It really shouldn't be ruffling because I don't move like that. Never have.
Shannon Sharpe
But I think the thing is.
Ocho Cinco
Anyway. And then.
Shannon Sharpe
Hold on.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, and this is another thing.
Shannon Sharpe
What?
Ocho Cinco
Hold on. Didn't talk about the money and the pocket watching Unc. I do. I have a question. Do they understand how many jobs I have? I'm just curious. I got 50, 11 jobs, UNC. Then you being slick in the mouth, talking about, if you need a job, I ain't hiring no more, Unc, this me.
Shannon Sharpe
What did you talk.
Ocho Cinco
What are we talking about? There's levels to everything. You in one lane. I got about 50 level of them. There's a difference. But because I play around and have fun with it, for some reason, you think we on the same level. It ain't never been that even you was in your prime. There's a difference.
Shannon Sharpe
I wouldn't.
Ocho Cinco
I'm humble.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, see. Nah, nah. I am glad. But see, when everybody was coming for Unc, you like Unc, baby, I tried to tell you then I'm coming for you.
Ocho Cinco
What did I tell you? What did I tell you? I was your enforcer, right?
Shannon Sharpe
I just let that ish go.
Ocho Cinco
I said I was your enforcer. I'm not saying anything wrong. I'm just addressing what was addressed towards me in a respectful way. In a respectful way still, right?
Shannon Sharpe
As a small reminder for me, Ocho, the reason why I stopped and I said, I'm not going back and forth with nobody. And there have been a couple of guys still taking shots. They got too much money at stake. I'm not.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, hey, say it again one more time. We got too much money.
Shannon Sharpe
There's too much money at stake. Too much money at stake. And as Master P. Master P and Gilly say, boy, say, if you ain't careful, they'll trick you out your spot. Oh, they're not gonna get me out this spot.
Ocho Cinco
No, no, no. That ain't. That ain't even happen because that ain't gonna happen.
Shannon Sharpe
So I wish. Hey, whatever issue y' all may or may not have, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know anything about this. All I know is that, Ocho, you and I, hey, we do nightcap. We do what we do, and we keep it moving. We don't talk about. We don't talk about anybody else on their podcast, no matter what they say about us, no matter what they do, whatever their numbers are, whatever their views. Whatever their downloads, whatever advertiser or sponsorship they have, congratulations. Because what I know, 80% of the money that's in circulation was printed in 2020. Moving forward. So guess what? If the government runs out of money, they'll print more. There's enough for everybody that choose to do this.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Nightcap, all the smoke, the pivot. It is what it is. Whomever a podcast p. Whoever have a podcast, there ain't no reason for us to be beefing. Joe Rogan ain't beefing with Call or Daddy. They're not beefing with Caleb. They're not beefing with Theo Vaughn. I don't know why. We got issues.
Ocho Cinco
I know. Listen, we don't have no issues, but you.
Shannon Sharpe
Why we gotta address. Why we gotta address it?
Ocho Cinco
Listen, listen. This.
Shannon Sharpe
We gotta call you.
Ocho Cinco
Wait, listen to me. This is what you got. This is what you gotta do. You know, if somebody says something, then it's our right to respond.
Shannon Sharpe
It is.
Ocho Cinco
And listen to me. Let me finish now, in a respectful way. In a respectful way. What? There's a misunderstanding? Because for one, like I said, what was said in that tweet out two years ago, it was a sign of respect. Boy, I'm coming for your spot because I see you as that boy.
Shannon Sharpe
You should have addressed it then. Why address it now?
Ocho Cinco
Because it's good. It's good. It's not a bad thing.
Shannon Sharpe
Huh?
Ocho Cinco
You know, but again, I always show love and respect to everybody. Always. Now, you don't have to like me, but you will respect me. And if they listen, if there is an issue, I post everywhere I'm at and will never change that. Everywhere.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, can we move on now? Because I think we've given them 17 minutes too much of our time.
Ocho Cinco
No, wait a minute. That's what it's about. That's what it's about. It is what it is. You know, we love what they do. I love what they do. You feel me? It's a funny show. Them boys. Funny. You know, we got our own. We got our own thing. We do our thing in our lane. Like you say, it's enough room for everybody. We ain't let nobody trick us out our spot, especially about that money. Because I got 50, 11 kids to raise and I got a goddamn new house I got to decorate. Now, where we at?
Shannon Sharpe
We good?
Ocho Cinco
Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
We good? We done with this topic? We done with this? So Chat, don't jump in there and somebody. Did you see what he said? I don't care. They can talk about me all they want to. Hey, I Don't Ocho. Hopefully Ocho is done with this. They come to, hey, he said what he said. Ocho responded, hopefully we can move on. But for me, I ain't got no issue with nobody. Like I said, I refuse to go back and forth. I don't see really a need to, whether or not they like us or like me or dislike Ocho or whatever the case may be. I wish you guys nothing but the best. But I do know there's enough room for everybody to get to get a piece of this pie. And so that's the way I'm gonna approach it. So I wish you guys.
Ocho Cinco
Hold on, hold on. Come on with that humble shit. There's enough room for everybody to get a piece of the piece, but you know who gonna get the bigger piece, man? Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho, let's.
Ocho Cinco
There's enough room for the pie, but you know who gonna get the bigger piece?
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho, there's something I want to address just came to brought to my attention is that Ocho. Everyone's spamming. Okay, Shaq, about the comments that I said last night.
Chad Johnson
Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do. You know a Degree Cool Rush deodorant? Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans.
Colin Cowherd
Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does, because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition and Degree listened.
Chad Johnson
They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush sent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4.
Colin Cowherd
There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about.
Chad Johnson
Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG Degree Cool Rush for yourself.

21 + terms and conditions apply. Gatorade is the number one proven electrolyte blend designed to hydrate better than water so you can lose more sweat and raise your game. Gatorade? Is it in you? Shaq said you took me sticking up for Shay as jealousy of joker. Shows how smart you are and how you say anything to get clicked. That's not what I did. But anyway, so here's the clickbait for you. If I ain't ranked in the top 10 in your profession, then you can't speak. Don't forget I know what you did to get where you're at. Me jealous? Sounds like you jealous. I know you're trying to stay relevant by gossiping on your podcast. We don't. We don't believe you. You need more people. In case you forgot. Four rings, three Finals MVPs, top 50, top 75 and to be quite frank, all this success you got still under me. You don't know my work ethic but according I work less but not blah blah blah. But anyway, love. Love you. Love you too. If you need help making money, it's better ways than gossiping. I'm too old for this. Ish love. Always the most dominating big man ever. Never took it serious. Remember I know you and you know words of skip better. So I'm better than you. Hashtag G14 classification. I have it. You don't. Not in my profession. Wait, when that happened he just about 10 minutes ago.
Ocho Cinco
Checking the chat.
Shannon Sharpe
No, he. On IG. I've never professed I'm. I've never professed that I was his greatest shot. But what I will say, yes, sir, I got what I got because I worked my ass off. Now, Shaq has been the one that said that he didn't work as hard, he didn't train as hard, he didn't eat as well as he should have.
Ocho Cinco
Right? Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Shaq is the one that anytime someone wins an mvp, he talks about how he should have been the MVP over Steve Nash. Now, you guys have heard me speak glowingly. I say Travis Kelsey is better tight than I was. So was Gronk, so was my guy. What's his name for the charges? Antonio Gates. Gonzo. Big. Winslow. I'm cool. I got no problem. You know why I got no problem, Ocho, with giving people credit?
Ocho Cinco
Right?
Shannon Sharpe
Because I got everything out of my God given ability. God gave me the ability to do what I could do, but he gave me discipline. He gave me dedication. The way I trained, the way I ate, the way I slept. So this was all I could get.
Ocho Cinco
Right?
Shannon Sharpe
I now I would have felt some type of way. And if I'd have got these numbers and I half asked it, but I never half asked it every. I mean, Kobe said Shaq should have won and they should have won.
Ocho Cinco
Right?
Shannon Sharpe
But he took. But my thing is, is that you can't. And it said greatest characters. Shaq, I'm the greatest character? No. Am I a top 100 player? No. Am I the equivalent as a football player as Shaq was as a basketball player? No. But what I did do is that I maximize that. In my question, if Shaq and. Yeah, because it's rough on the back. My question is, do you believe that you gave everything you possibly could in basketball? Did you train the way you should have? Did you eat the way you should have? Did you? That just goes to show you how great you was, is that you didn't. You allowed your weight to get out of control. You. The injury started to creep up and you got four rings and you got three finals mvp.
Ocho Cinco
See, I'm mad, man. I wish I understood because I wish I understood goddamn basketball. So when you talking about Shaq, especially during that time, think about this. If I don't know basketball now the way I should, the way you do, like what you telling me right now, it's like I'm trying to process the shit.
Shannon Sharpe
Think about it.
Ocho Cinco
But I can't because I wasn't watching back then.
Shannon Sharpe
Think about it, Ocho. He's the most dominant big man in the history of the game.
Ocho Cinco
I know that. Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
And he got one mvp, so.
Ocho Cinco
Ah, but think about this. Think about how they just. I'm not going to say Rob. I don't want to use the word rob.
Shannon Sharpe
How they.
Ocho Cinco
Rob, how they took. They robbed Shay. 30 points, number one seed.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, doesn't get it.
Ocho Cinco
What's the criteria. What's the criteria for mvp? If you just gave it to Joker.
Shannon Sharpe
Again, but I don't think they gave it because Joker was top 10 in points, top 10 in rebounds, top 10 on assist, and they basically had the same record. They just had a. OkC just had a better division record. So you're talking about you. So it's not like Shay, they were the number one seed and Joker was number ten.
Ocho Cinco
Right. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
If you took what I said as a slight, okay, I can get it. And people say, well, see, my thing is, is that I'm not saying that I would. I've never said I was acquitted. And I'm quick to say that. When I said. When I talk about Kevin Durant or I talk about any player, I said I'm not the equivalent basketball player, but all I can do is maximize my ability.
Ocho Cinco
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Shaq know deep down he could take all the shots.
Unknown
You.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. You got more money. Yeah. You're more famous than me. Yeah. You're more well known. You're gonna have way more money than I ever have. But nobody will ever say that I was lazy or I cheated myself. That's all I got for you, big boy. I ain't got nothing else for you. I ain't got no. I ain't here to argue with you. I'm not here to debate with you. It is what it is. I can't do any more on the football field. You can't do any more on the basketball court. Yes, you were great. Yes, you were great. But you know, deep down, you should be in the top five, not top 10, because you just said, who else was the most dominant? You said you were the most dominant. Most people agree you were the most dominant.
Ocho Cinco
So I have a question now.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Ocho Cinco
Here we go. Here we go again with my lack of. Of basketball knowledge. If Shaq was the most dominant to ever play at his position, right, the five, the center, how is he not in the goddamn top five?
Shannon Sharpe
Ask him. Ask the people that say, is Shaq in the top five? Ask them.
Ocho Cinco
But I'm assuming people, I'm okay. I need to take a fucking course or something. If he's top five. If he's the best big man of all time, then he has to be in everyone's top five. You got Jordan, you got Kobe, Lebron, I'm assuming. I don't. I don't know how the.
Shannon Sharpe
What I've done. I've told people my criteria for the top five. I say for me, for you to be in the top five, you have to have at least. You have to have more than one regular season mvp. That's my criteria. Now, some people say, well, Shannon, as long as you got this or as long as you got that, that's their criteria. Like you said, what is the criteria for the mvp?
Ocho Cinco
Wait, I have a question. Why do. Why does the individual award matter to be included in the top five or something in general? If you. If you were the. He was the most dominant at that, you the most.
Shannon Sharpe
You got Most dominant MVP matter, though, you got. You're the most dominant and you only won one mvp. So how dominant were you? I believe he's the most dominant. I do, because I watched him play. Now, I didn't see Wilt. I'm not going to say I didn't see Wilt. I just saw. Just see Wilt's numbers, but for the guy. And I started falling basketball back in the late 70s. So as far as dominant, Shaq was it. Shaq was it. Shaq is the most dominant player, which means he should have more than one regular season mvp.
Ocho Cinco
So when he was playing and he was dominant during these years, who the hell was winning the damn MVPs?
Shannon Sharpe
Jordans. LeBron won some MVPs. Shaq came in in 92, right? So Jordan, Carl Malone, Charles Barkley. Hey, Barkley one. David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, hold on, hold on. Barkley won mvp hump.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, hey. When I look at Charles. When I look at Charles.
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, no. See, people. People laugh at Charles and all that. No. What? Hell, yeah.
Ocho Cinco
Hey. What? Charles, he was the foe. He was the foe.
Shannon Sharpe
He was a power forward. Yeah, but he look.
Ocho Cinco
He look undersized, though.
Shannon Sharpe
He look very undersized. Yes, okay.
Ocho Cinco
Yes. Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Ocho Cinco
And that's crazy. I can't. I can't. I can't see. I can't see Chuck outside of TNT or see. I can't see him outside of golf dominating on the basketball court.
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He was the real deal.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
He was the real. He was the real deal.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, that's. Liar. That's live.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, man, but I put it like this. Here. If Shaq. If Shaq. Let's just say shaq came in 92, and he stayed at 325. Ain't no way he doesn't have four or five. MVP. There's not no way he doesn't have four. He doesn't have five. Six finals.
Ocho Cinco
Wait, when he was in Orlando, he. You say he was 325.
Shannon Sharpe
When he came out, he was 713-25.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, that's. Hey, that's a big human boy.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Ocho Cinco
Golly.
Shannon Sharpe
And that's why I say you're never. We're never gonna see a Shaquille o' Neal again. People talk about, we're not going to see a Jordan, we're not going to see a LeBron, we're not going to see a Kobe.
Ocho Cinco
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
We're never going to see a guy.
Ocho Cinco
His size to be able to move like that.
Shannon Sharpe
That can move.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, you know the little clip? Remember the little clip with him and Jordan playing around at the All Star Game?
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Ocho Cinco
And he hit the. Hey, yeah, boy. Buddy. Footwork. What? Shaq Footwork.
Shannon Sharpe
They used to have. They used to have a show on. I forget the name of the show where, like, Shaq would, like. Shaq would like. He would, like, go play flag football and he did other sport activities.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, yeah, I remember that. I remember that.
Shannon Sharpe
Did you watch Shaq. You see Shaq run?
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, I remember the episode.
Shannon Sharpe
Nobody had that size. You're never gonna see a guy that size with that kind of athleticism. You're not. But maybe this. Okay, this is my opinion, I believe. Has Shaq taken it as serious as Kobe, as serious as Jordan, as serious as LeBron?
Ocho Cinco
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
With what he know and the access that he had. So. Because as you get to that level, you have access to the best trainers. You have the access to the best nutritionists, the best chefs.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
That's just my personal opinion.
Ocho Cinco
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
So.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, man, y', all, you know what?
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't got no beef with Shaq.
Ocho Cinco
I know. No, we can. We can't have no beef with Shaq. We ain't had no beef with Shaq because I don't want to have to jump on him, you know? I love. Now you laughing. I love Shaq now. I told you, we ain't doing no more beefs. We ain't doing.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't got no beef with nobody. My thing is, what we can do.
Ocho Cinco
What we can do is we can have a healthy dialogue.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Ocho Cinco
Based on how we feel about, you know, individuals and their respective crafts and. And. And. And that's it. Sometimes they might take offense to it. Shaq, we love you. Shaq, you. You know I love you. You know how I feel about you. You know, you. You my dog. And there were no issues. There were no problem. We were just talking about a subject matter in which I don't know much about. And. But here's the thing.
Shannon Sharpe
If Shaq. But see, Shaq. Shaq is looking at what I'm saying in a vacuum because Shaq is the most dominant and nobody. They've never bestowed that title on another five other than.
Ocho Cinco
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
So Jokic is not more dominant, but he has more regular season MVPs. Yeah, but guys are not more dominant.
Ocho Cinco
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
But he has. He. And so that's what I'm saying. I believe me personally and chat. Y' all can disagree or just agree or disagree, right? But Shaq said he didn't take practice here. He said I was gonna get beat up in the game, so why was I gonna get beat up in practice? You can't think, Ocho. Well, I'm gonna run it. Ocho, think about this. Think about what he said. Now, he said he didn't go hard in practice because he didn't want to get beat up in practice because he's gonna get beat up in the game. What if you said, you know what? I didn't read no routes full speed in practice because I was gonna run a full speed in the game.
Ocho Cinco
Dang.
Shannon Sharpe
He said on numerous occasions he wish he had taken it more, he had trained harder and kept his weight under control. But I guess me pointing that out, what he said, I guess he, you know, I'm where I am because, you know, Ocho, you know, I was able to walk away from the game and never, ever look back because I got everything I could right out of this seventh round draft selection, out of this body. Nobody will ever say, did people have more talent than Shannon.
Ocho Cinco
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
God gave him that. But you ain't gonna find nobody to say they outworked it.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
And that's all I had. So eight, 15, 10,060, 62 touchdowns, eight Pro Bowls, fourth first team all pros, five total, three Super Bowls. That's all I got, Ocho. That's all. That's all I could get.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Out of what God gave me, I couldn't get anything else I like. And. And by my podcast. My podcast is what it is.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Some people like it, some people don't. More people like it than don't.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
The numbers speak for itself. So I wish you the best on your podcast. And your. Your platform. But I ain't got nothing. I ain't. I. I ain't. I ain't here to bag Shaq or go back and forth.
Ocho Cinco
No, no, no. We ain't. We ain't gonna do that. We ain't gonna do that. But what we can do is we have a nightcap versus TNT Royal Rumble. Like, if them boys won't smoke, we could. We can get it on.
Shannon Sharpe
Huh?
Ocho Cinco
Like, listen, you get Sha. I hit. I hit Kenny. I hit Kenny. And I push Kenny over.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Ocho Cinco
And me and Chuck, we'll go. Me and Chuck, we can go. We can go. We can go toe to toe to nightcap versus tnt. I'm ready. It's.
Shannon Sharpe
I.
Ocho Cinco
It. It don't make me none. And we could be friends right after and go eat it.
Shannon Sharpe
Look, it is what it. Look, man. It is what it is. I mean, look, and here's the thing. And this. This. We're all wired like this, Ocho. We really are. All of us. We really are. Somebody can say a thousand times, shannon's great, but it's the one time that they say, I'm not. Is that. Do you fixate on, right? How many times have I lauded Shaq? But it's the one time what he fixate on, and that's okay. That's okay.
Ocho Cinco
Listen, we all love each other, Shaq. We love you, baby.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't got no beef with Shaq. I ain't never had no beef with Shot.
Ocho Cinco
No, no, no, no, no, you don't. Wait, listen, you vegan anyway. You don't eat beef.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but to each. To each. Shaq, I wish you nothing but the best, bro. Hey. Continue success. Keep doing your thing on tnt. Keep doing your thing on the podcast. Hey, I ain't got no. I ain't got no beef with you, bro. That was just my opinion. We were talking. We were talking about it last night because of what you said. Stick up for shade. Whomever. Whomever. That's your opinion. That's your opinion, Shaq, I love you.
Ocho Cinco
You want to go a few rounds, let me know.
Shannon Sharpe
I was just sticking up for him in the chat, but we good, Shaq. We good. Hey, you know how to get in touch with me. You want to talk, bro? Hey, you want to talk off the. Off the air on there? Whatever you want to do, bro. We good. I'm good. I ain't got no problem with you. I never had no problem with you, Shaq.

Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah.
Ocho Cinco
Oh, that's too bad. That's too bad. That's too bad. That's too bad. Cause we gonna tussle for the simple fact that you even let him say Chad. You let him say Ocho. The word ocean even came out his mouth. You should have. Hey, you ain't finna talk about my co host like that.
Shannon Sharpe

Shannon Sharpe
LeBron three with 855 left in the third quarter was his 2451st career three. Breaking the towel with Kyle Corver for number seven all time. You talk about he got his number one in points, top five in assist up there in steals up there, the top 10 in three point shots and three point field goals made. I mean what, what, what do we. And it's like we expect the man to play like LeBron to play until he 50. They still expect him to put up the numbers like he did when he was 30. That's just know how let you know how great he is. When you have the same level of expectation for someone, you don't have the same level expect. Think about it, Swish. We don't have the same level of expectations for our parents or our grandparents as they start to age because we know physically it's just impossible to do. But because LeBron, we still expect him to go out there and sometimes give us a virtuoso performance where he gives us 50 or he gives us a 30 point triple double, or he gives us a 4010 type of a ball game. And he might can do that, but as we get older, and I just believe this, as we get older, it just gets difficult even as an athlete to do it with the ease that we once did and to rip and repeat said act.
Unknown
Yeah, for me it's like, for honestly, because it's different when you have the God given ability to do it, which he does have, but also the mind to know how to do it, which he also has.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Unknown
So then once one starts, like because your mind is going like, especially for him, his mind gonna stay sharp, it's gonna keep getting sharper and seeing defenses and seeing stuff that he's been seeing over the years. But at the end of the day it's, you ain't gonna be able to get to that spot like you used to get to that spot. So then you gotta come up with more counters and everything else.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Unknown
Or rely on your teammates and being able to rely on my teammates when I got to go out there and get 20 instead of getting 27 or trying to push it to go get 30 every night. Like, that's what it's gonna have to be because, again, when you see that spot and I can get to that spot, that's how you. You know, I mean, like, look at cold when covered in New Orleans. He pulled that thought somebody kicked him from behind. Like, that's when you start getting hurt. Like, you started to kid, like, because you trying to get somewhere where you think you can physically get to, especially him, is where I need the extra burst.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, you need the extra burst to.
Unknown
Try to get there. Yes, sir. And there's.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Unknown
And I don't want to put that on him. Knock on the Goodwood, but that's just. That's just how it is. And. And on the body, like, he takes. Obviously takes amazing care of his body. He's probably the most. He's definitely the most best fit athlete I've ever been around consistently.
Shannon Sharpe
And even, like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Unknown
No, no, no. You ain't got no chance, dog. Gonna lie to you. I ain't gonna lie. I ain't even gonna lie to you. O. It's not even close.
Ocho Cinco
Let me take this off.
Unknown
Hey, do what you got to do. You can do whatever you gotta do.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, man, the.
Shannon Sharpe
The. The. The. The.
Ocho Cinco
The most fit athlete is sitting right here. Everybody keep disrespecting me. Now you telling me LeBron in better shape than me? Nobody look like this, B.
Unknown
But, hey, that ain't Pop Tarts Ultra.
Ocho Cinco
You see this?
Unknown
That ain't no Pop Tarts. That ain't. That the. You've been eating salad.
Ocho Cinco
That ain't about, man. Girl, this is what I do, man. This is what I do.
Shannon Sharpe

Ocho Cinco

Shannon Sharpe
Swish. He. Well, buck 80.

Ocho Cinco
Hey, I put that on every bodega in the Bronx. Nobody be. Son, I'm telling you. See, word to my mother, nobody's in better shape than me.
Shannon Sharpe
Joe Burrow says he bought a Tumblr Batmobile from the Dark Knight trilogy. Each were priced at about $3 million and. And are fully functional, but not street legal. Burrow told T. Higgins and Jamar Chase during practice last week. Have I told y' all I bought a Batmobile? I don't get it for like a year, but I bought one that's a flexible.
Unknown
That's a fucking flex.
Shannon Sharpe
It ain't street legal.
Ocho Cinco
I mean, listen, you collect cars, don't you? You love cars, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but they need to be street legal. I gotta be able to drive them on the street.
Ocho Cinco
I know, but something like that would be a collector's item. Something like, you know, Jay Leno, Rick Ross, some of those dudes that collect things where it's not street legal. You put it up and you save it. And later on down the road, you know, it's where you paid 3 million for it. Think about it. Maybe 10 years, 20 years from now, who knows what it might cost or might. What it might be worth for that matter how much it costs.
Shannon Sharpe
What you want to say? Sweet. Three bills. Three bill.
Colin Cowherd
Three million.
Shannon Sharpe
Three tickets.
Unknown
I don't know how much y' all making. Y' all killing it because I ain't spending. I ain't got it. I ain't got it.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, Daniel, that's Burrow. That's. That's a 250. $250 million.
Shannon Sharpe
You make 55 a year in football salary, possibly another 3 to 5 off the field. So he probably doing 60 a year after taxes.
Unknown
That's about 30, 28, 30.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah. I ain't spending that 3 million on one car.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, if I spend 3 million, it ain't moving nowhere because that's a house. And I ain't talking about no rv.
Unknown
No, I'm going down there to Cabo with my boys in them and go buy a building next to them. That's what I'm gonna do.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. I'm not.
Unknown
Not a Batmobile and I can't drive it.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Ocho Cinco
He must be. He must be a huge fan of Batman or something.
Unknown
I don't give a damn if he was Batman.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't want nothing.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Unknown
Hell no.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah. I mean, listen, wait. We all. We have. We all have a vice, a vice and certain things.
Unknown
What 3 million dollar vice you got?
Ocho Cinco
Well. Oh, me, you know, my cheap ass ain't got.
Unknown
That's what I was trying to figure out.
Shannon Sharpe
Shit, I ain't.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, but I mean, I mean, he probably does obviously, for a reason to spend three men on that. And I think the value of whatever. Whatever it is he purchased, the Batmobile, Tumblr, whatever the hell it might be years from now is gonna be worth 10, 15 times what he paid for.
Unknown
Better be a Babe Ruth car type value or something. It better give me something crazy.
Shannon Sharpe
Hold his Wagner. Honest. Wagner got the job.
Unknown
Car. Give me that something. 3 million for a car.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, no.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah. And listen, I can't even talk trash, huh? I think it was the 2009. 09 season. Hell, I leased the goddamn Bugatti for the season. For the year, like a damn idiot.
Unknown
What was that? Payment?
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, but you gotta understand, I was making. So this was money off the field. I was making so much off the field.
Shannon Sharpe

You know how people get in trouble with their old tweets? Like when they become famous or something and people go search up their old tweets? We were playing. We were playing Philly in the preseason, and I tweeted in the middle of the game on the sideline. After I got hit, I literally, literally on the sideline, I got hit, came to the sideline and tweeted. I'm okay, y'.
Shannon Sharpe
All.
Ocho Cinco
The NFL fined me 25 grand for tweeting in the middle of a game. And that's how I remember what my Bugatti payments was. Cause once they took it out my check, that was the tweet I sent out the next day.
Unknown
Oh, my God.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, Chad. Hey, Chad. If y' all know how to get on Twitter and go back to. I think I was still playing it. Probably 2009. I guarantee the tweet is still up.

Ocho Cinco
Stuff like that, you don't drive every day.

Unknown

Chad Johnson
Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do. You know a Degree Cool Rush deodorant? Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans.
Colin Cowherd
Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition and Degree listened.
Chad Johnson
They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4.
Colin Cowherd
There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about.
Chad Johnson
Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree cool rush for yourself.

Gatorade is the number one proven electrolyte blend designed to hydrate better than water so you can lose more sweat and raise your game. Gatorade. Is it in you? Asante Samuel saw the clips of us debating him in prime and he responded to us Ocho. Yeah, that's your problem, pimp. You're also brainwashed. At Shannon Sharp. I'm not worried about what everyone perceives to be true. Like yourself. I stand on facts. You have yet to talk about the facts. You can easily be manipulated, just like everyone has because of marketing. I bet you won't debate me big facts. Oh, Shannon Sharp. Safety has a short. Safety has the short middle. Nobody's in the deep but me and the receiver. You don't know the truth, pimp. You just talking at your with no facts. Let's talk. Or you scared like everyone else, bro?
Ocho Cinco
Hey, I ain't. I didn't even know he answers. You like, okay, I like that. I like that.
Shannon Sharpe
Huh?
Ocho Cinco
Hey, y'. All. Hey, y'. All. Hey, listen. We can have a club Shay Shay, right? Listen to me now. Stay with me. You have a Club. Shay Shay DB Edition. A good conversation, PowerPoint presentation style film up there to support each of your opinions and facts that you might have.
Shannon Sharpe
It ain't no opinion. He's not time. What are we debating?
Ocho Cinco
Let me finish, baby. Let me finish. Listen. I'm giving you the ultimate content right now. Something that's never been done before. A format that's never been done before. Two players. Actually three, because you were part of it too. Three players. You got prime and Sonny Samuels. And you. You one that loves a breakdown film. He's also one that loves to break down film. Now Just picture this. You talking about you think Katt Williams did a whole bunch of numbers. What you think you and son sitting down, you know, going over. Okay, you want to prove it, Prove it. The eye in the sky don't lie. I'm just throwing the idea out there because the format has never been done before.
Shannon Sharpe
I've given coach time and myself have given Atlante Samuel more tension than since he's been retired than he's ever gotten. After tonight, I'm done with this. There's nothing to debate.
Ocho Cinco
My bad.
Shannon Sharpe
There is nobody, there is no one going to say he's in the realm of time. He's in the realm of Darrell Rebus. He's in the realm of Rod Woodson or Charles Woodson or Daryl Green or a Mel Blunt. He's not. I don't give a damn what he says about the film. He played. He played more. He played more. Look, bro, you had an unbelievable career. Congratulations. You're just not time. You're not time. You're not Rebus, you're. Hold on. Did he make an all decade team? Because Time made all decade and he's one of the hundred greatest players of all time. Let's see his resume. Let's see his body of work. I complimented. I said time. Don't believe in waste emotion. The T step worked well for Asante. I gave him a compliment. Let's see his resume. So he didn't make all decades. Four time Pro Bowler, one time All Pro. How many times with how many Pro Bowls did Tyon make? How many all team? Yes. Oh, same number of Super Bowls, but one guy was a defensive player of the year. One guy as a defensive back swung the balance of power. How many DBs can say swung the balance of power? He go to one team to keep the other team from going. He goes to the other team and keep that team from going. Bro, you had an unbelievable career. You went to a Pro bowl. You an all Pro. You're not time and there's no and that's not a knock. It's okay. It's okay. But I don't know why you getting mad at me. I tell you what. Find. Go find the gm. Go find the coach. Go find a player that says Asante Samuel is the equivalent or better than time. That's all you got to do. Hell, your son won't say you better than time and he a junior. Let's be real, man. You coming? I'm the wrong one. You.
Ocho Cinco
What you doing? Where you going?
Shannon Sharpe
I got that. I don't Know what you're talking about, bro. I don't know what you're talking about. I complimented you. I said you had an outstanding career. I say the T step served you well. I just said you weren't tired. That's okay. If somebody says, you know what, Shannon? You had an unbelievable career, Shannon. You went to eight pro boys, you're a first team all pro. You're an all decade player, you're in the hall of fame. But you ain't Gronk, okay? You ain't Travis Kelsey, okay? But you ain't gonna go no other tight end than me talking about you ain't that. If you want to say Gronk, if you want to say Kelsey, Shannon, you not that I ain't finna fight you, but you ain't gonna go no more. You ain't gonna go no more. Because when I left every record that a tight end could have, I had, it catches, yards, touchdowns, most yards of the game.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, so I. Hold on. I just. Now that, now that you mentioned that. When, when it come, when we factor in the numbers and statistics, does that play any factor in, in, in. In Asanti's case or it. It doesn't matter.
Unknown
Just.
Ocho Cinco
Just curious.
Shannon Sharpe
He had more pr, he had more pass breakups and fewer interceptions. How many pick fixes did he have? All I know is when I left the game, I had every record that a tight end could possibly have. Ain't nobody had them but me. Now they done came along and broke them. Gonzo broke him. And Gaze did this and Gronk and this and that. But I don't know why he mad at me. I gave him a compliment. Yeah. I said he had an outstanding career. I said the T step for him served him well. This episode of Nightcap is brought to you by Cologuard, a non invasive COLA cancer screening test. Did you know colon cancer is considered one of the most preventable, yet least prevented cancers? When caught in the early stages, colon cancer has a survival rate of 90%. So screening and early detections are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths. That's why the American Cancer Society recommends that if you're at average risk, you begin screening for colon cancer at age 45. And a convenient way to do that is with Cologuard test. The Cologuard test allows you to be in control of your COLA colon cancer screening through prescription based tests delivered to your door with none of the prep that's required for a colonoscopy. No liquid prep, no days off, no invasive procedures. Plus colard test is affordable. Most insured patients pay $0 and a follow up colonoscopy is needed after a positive cologuard test. This is usually covered by insurance also. So if you're 45 years of older and at average risk, you can ask your healthcare provider about screening for colon cancer with a cologuard test. You can also request a cologuard prescription today@cologuard.com podcast. The Cologuard test is intended to screen adults 45 and older at average risk for colorectal cancer. Do not use cologuard test if you have had adenima, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopies. High risk patients. Cologuard test in adults 45 to 49 is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older. False positive and false negatives can occur. Cologuard is available by prescription only.
Ocho Cinco
I like, I like the convo. I like the dialogue. I would, I would love, I would love, especially for. Not the casual fan, but for people that are fans of the game. I wish we could dive a little bit more. I'm obviously not here on the show.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm just, I'm just asking you find the general manager, find the head coach, find the receiver because he talking about. He talking like he was. That he might. I guarantee you when you find somebody that say he a top 10, a top 10 cornerback. If we go back and study history, top 10 corner. So we got time. We got Reavis, we got Mel Blunt, we got Rod Wilson, we got Daryl Green, we got a Niels Williams, we got Mel Blunt. Okay, that's seven right there. Where are we, where are we going to put him in the list of all time and the history of the NFL? Is he cracking the top 10? That's the only. I mean, that's your homeboy. He from Florida. I want you to tell me, you.

Shannon Sharpe
I'm asking this man. I just asked this man a simple question. I gave him seven, eight names. He told me, where would I rank him? I ask you. Yeah, because I get it. You gonna probably bump into him.
Ocho Cinco
Hold on, hold on.
Shannon Sharpe
But at some point in time.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, hold on. It don't matter who I bump into.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, well, you got it in front of the guys that I mentioned.
Ocho Cinco
But he addressed you. Where are you asking me the question. He addressed you, so I'm asking you, where do you rank?
Shannon Sharpe

He's not in front of Niels Williams. He's not in front of a Champ Bailey. That's seven, okay? That's seven guys.
Ocho Cinco

The guy that I list, he's at the front of the line. Time it. Mel Blunt, defensive player of the year. Charles Wilson, defensive player of the year. Rod Wilson, defensive player of the year. There have been a lot of guys, but number two, one is at the front of the line. He talking like he in that group. There are group. Look, we go into a room in the hall of Fame, okay? We go into a room, we all into a room. But there are certain guys at certain tables. We in the room, but we not at that table. He not even in the room. He on the outside. Hey, y' all know I played, right? Yeah, but this for Big Dog. Keep it a stack. So I will chat y'. All tell me of the guys that I listen, who he better than? I ain't mentioned Pat P. I ain't Richard Mitchell Sherman yet. I just. I just gave y' all a couple of names. I want you to tell me who he better than than the list I listed. Who y' all putting him in front of chat. Y' all putting him in front of Dion. Y' all put him in front of Revis. Y' all put him in front of Charles Wilson. Rod Woodson, y' all putting him in front of Mel Blunt. Who are y' all putting, Champ Bailey. Who are y' all putting him in front of? Asante Samuel? Who?
Ocho Cinco
Hold on, I'm. I'm trying. I'm trying to see. I'm trying to see what the chat talking about.
Shannon Sharpe
No, I want. No, I want you to see what the chat talking about. You played against him. What you talking about? You played against Charles Wilson. You played against Pat P. You played against Sherm. Who are you putting him in front of?
Ocho Cinco
I, I, I, I ain't, I ain't play against Sherm, but, you know, you know, I did, I did, I did. I did my thing everywhere I went. You hear me? It was like. It was like Halloween. If I knock on the door, I'm coming to get some candy.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm asking you a simple question. Of the guys that were mentioned, who is he in front of?
Ocho Cinco
And I wouldn't say in front of, because you mentioned, you know, the greats. But he has the numbers to be in the room. I know that much. And you base everything off numbers. When you talk about. Let me finish before you say anything. When you talk about mj, in comparison to Michael Jordan, when it comes to debates in any other sport, we always bring up the numbers, but all of a sudden the numbers are ignored. When it comes to. Now, talking about the two, ain't none of them.
Colin
Hold on.
Ocho Cinco
In comparison, he got four Pro Bowls.
Shannon Sharpe
Hold on. This dude got four Pro Bowls.
Ocho Cinco
Listen to me, I'm not finished. Okay, but again, now we understand. But when we do a comparison based on greatness, you know, I tell you what, Guess what?
Shannon Sharpe
Former coach, your former coach had three Pro Bowls and 62 picks. You taking Dick LeBeau?
Ocho Cinco
Oh, absolutely. Did you like what you know about. Hey, what you know about LeBeau? Why? What you know about date?
Shannon Sharpe
You just told me numbers.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, I mean that. Listen, that's what everything is based off of, right?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. No. Okay. Numbers. Okay. Let's go all Pros. Let's go Pro Bowls. Let's go all decade. Let's go Defensive player of the Year.
Ocho Cinco
Right, right.
Shannon Sharpe
That's part of numbers also. Just not picks.
Ocho Cinco
Okay, okay, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
See, I look at it like this. If you get six picks and you give up eight touchdowns, what have you done?
Ocho Cinco
Okay, I see what you're doing. I got it.
Shannon Sharpe
I thought the job of a corner is to take away more than you give up.
Ocho Cinco
That's a great combo.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm just waiting on this man to tell me, who is he Better than. Than the list I renamed. Now we gonna have. Guess what? Let's have the conversation. Hopefully, Lord, spare both of our lives, we're able to have a conversation another 10 to 15 years.
Ocho Cinco
We will.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm gonna. I'm gonna need to see a gold jacket on his back because all the guys that I mentioned now, hey, Jalen Ramsey is going to be coming up. Richard Sherman's going to be coming up. Pat P. Is going to be coming up. You see what he trying to do? Oh, it's all about marketing, bro. You played on the Patriots. Ty Law played on the Patriots. Ty Law got a red jacket and a gold jacket. So don't do that bull job about marketing. If you. Who was on TV more than the Patriots?
Ocho Cinco
Oh, oh, during. During that. During that. 20 years.
Shannon Sharpe
During that time. Who?
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, so now it's marketing time. Ain't no marketing, bro. Yeah, he marketed himself to know how to parlay that. But that man on the field. You better go check them tapes. Either you can or you can't.
Ocho Cinco
That's a great conversation. Boy, that's a. That's a good one there.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Willie Brown, Mike Haynes. Mike Haynes got nine, like, nine Pro Bowls. You better go check.
Ocho Cinco
That's a great combo. Oh, let me grab me a water.
Shannon Sharpe
Sante. Go ahead, bro. Sante, you had a great career, bro. You good player. You just say all I said. You weren't tired and you had to get personal. I don't know. I don't know why. I mean, if. If you wanted to come on Nightcap to get. To get your name out there, you could have did that.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Listen. That is a great combo, bro. You hear me? It's a great.
Shannon Sharpe
What? What's a great combo?
Ocho Cinco
This one. I like this. I just. Obviously, it's not me as the individual, but I'm just saying that's why in.
Shannon Sharpe
His prime, is he better than Stefan Gilmore? I mean, at some point. Hey, Chad, don't y' all want Ocho to chime in instead of just talking about this is a great combo. He ain't say nothing about the man.
Ocho Cinco
Listen to you.
Shannon Sharpe
You telling me this is Nightcap? Uncle Noo. We don't listen to each other. We go back and forth.
Ocho Cinco
I've been chiming in. I've been chiming in all.
Shannon Sharpe
No, you ain't saying nothing.
Ocho Cinco
I'm listening to you now.
Unknown
Listen.
Shannon Sharpe
You see What?
Ocho Cinco
He said chat.
Shannon Sharpe
He listening to me.
Ocho Cinco
He address. He addressed Shannon Sharp. He sent a long message to Shannon Sharpe. So I'm just listening. Hold on.
Shannon Sharpe
Where did he address Shannon Sharp? What was Shannon Sharp speaking on him on Nightcap, Nightcap, Unc and Ocho, right?
Ocho Cinco
So it's your job to answer back.
Shannon Sharpe
I get it, Chad. Y' all see, Ocho don't want to chime in. He from Florida. O might bump into it. Y' all know me. I don't give a damn.
Ocho Cinco
I mean, what is bumping and having.
Shannon Sharpe
See, here's the problem. Here's the thing with Shannon Shaw. Whatever Shannon Sharp say on Nightcap, Shannon Sharp with. He bumped into said player. Shannon Sharpe is mad enough to stand on that, bro. You not time. You not Charles Wilson. You not Rod Woodson. You not Darrell Revis. You not Mel Blunt. You not Mike Haynes. You not Daryl Green. You not facts. Now, of the 10 guys that I name, find a coach, find a receiver that say, Asante Samuel is better than any of those guys.
Ocho Cinco
See the way you make it sound? Oh, see, you being mean. How am I being, Ocho? Do you hear how you make it sound? You make it sound like Buddy was trash or something.
Shannon Sharpe
I didn't say he was trash, Ocho.
Ocho Cinco
I'm just saying the way you talking like you acting like we just sitting here talking about some old bum. I'm just curious, Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
Who can I say?
Ocho Cinco
Yeah, I mean, listen, I played the game. Listen, I played the game, right? Hold on. Wait. Stay with me. Stay with me. Stay with me real quick. I play the game on the other side of the ball, so I know I played against Prime. I played against Zonk. I have an understanding of both and how good they were at what they. Oh, hold on. Great as prime was and how good Zot was. So it's hard for me to sit here and say, you know, the. The way you doing. When I saw it with my own eyes, I understand how great prime is. But then I know what that young bull was doing as well when he was playing.
Shannon Sharpe
All I said. I said he was good. I said he was a very good player, had an unbelievable career. He used a technique. He used a technique that Time doesn't approve of. Two things can be true.
Ocho Cinco
Yes, sir.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. Some guys like to play, press and open the gate. Some guys like to press and put hands. Whatever technique works for you. But he was talking as if he was the equivalent because he posted his stats and time stats saying, look at our stats, right? So he's posting those stats as if he's the equivalent. And I said he's not. I didn't say he wasn't a good player. I said he went to Pro Bowls. I think he was an all Pro. I know he won Super Bowls in New England. That's what I said. Right. He took offense that I didn't co sign him. I don't need no marketing. I don't need to co sign. I think everybody's known. I didn't have an opportunity to critique time when he played, when he went back for those two years. Cause he was mainly a safety and he didn't start the game. Okay, that's fine.
Ocho Cinco
But.
Shannon Sharpe
But I've never had a problem critiquing any player I critique. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, you name a player. Ray Lewis, receivers to Randy. I've never had a problem critiquing because I'm basing it on my intimate knowledge of the game and film study. When I was at cbs, I would watch film how many times when I was at CBS or Fox when you ever heard a guy called, talk about Shannon Sharp? Don't know what the hell he talking about.
Ocho Cinco
Nah, that ain't gonna happen.
Shannon Sharpe
See what y' all trying to do? Well, you doing this. That's not what I said. Nope, nope. I never said I've never. See, the difference is Skip tried to say I said I was better than Tom Brady. I said Tom Brady wasn't playing. Well, why would I, as a tight end, compare myself to a quarterback?
Ocho Cinco
Okay, right, right, right.
Shannon Sharpe
I would need to compare myself to. To Gron, to Kelsey or a tight end. That's the only way you can get an equivalent. I said. I said.
Ocho Cinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Asante had a great career. Pro Bowl, Super Bowls. Now, guy, like I said, you want to say Shannon, you ain't Trav, you ain't Gronk. You right. You right. You got me, right? You got me. But I'm. I'm just confused. Hey, but look, bro, you. I gave how many. I gave you 15 minutes of fame. Fame that you never would have got had you not mentioned me or time. Enjoy it now. Go back to your solitary life. Nobody's gonna. Where was the last. I tell you what, Ocho, when was the last time? Prior to last night, when was the last time you heard somebody. Mitchell. Asante. Samuel. Take your time. I'm gonna get me. I'm gonna go get me some water. Take your time. Hey, Chad. Y' all keep all your interesting.
Ocho Cinco
Hey, anyway, Chat, we back a little upset. He's a little upset. Other than that, it's a great conversation. I like it. I like the dialogue. I like the back and forth. I like players also. What we always talk about having a belief, having not not only belief in what you can do and what you've already done and bringing it to the forefront, bring it to the forefront and supporting what it is you've done in comparison to someone else who is also great. And that's okay. Now, a lot of people won't see it that way as, as you can see, including them. But one thing I, I've always do see is if you were bad at what you do, then I will always come out and say that. But I played against both and I understand how good both were. I understand how great prime was. Obviously catching him on the tail end of his career and obviously playing against Asante during his prime and understanding how good he was, how much of a student of the game he was. And what I'm not going to do is diminish what I was able to see for years while I was playing and understanding watching film on him, understanding how good he was and how savvy he was technically, you know, so it's different coming from someone that actually played on the opposite side and understand how good he was, you know, so it's hard to see here to say, oh, he's not. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I had to go against this. I had to go against that for years. So it's different. It's different. You know, especially. And a lot of, a lot of people in the chat, obviously some of the comments on Twitter, on X, whatever it may be, their feelings are always different as well, because it's based off who you know and what they've done. Hey, Unc, that was good.
Shannon Sharpe
I just asked you a simple question.
Ocho Cinco
Which one?
Shannon Sharpe
Prior to last night and today, when was the last time you heard somebody mention Asante? Samuel.
Ocho Cinco
I'm supposed to know. I be on Nightcap every time a.
Shannon Sharpe
Tight end break a record. Who record? They fit up there the most 150 yard games, the most lost this, the most that every Sunday in the NFL season when the tight end does something, who name is up there when they have them named. He just passed this one. Who name is also up there?
Ocho Cinco
Ocho. Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
Don't worry about Ocho. Hey, hey, Chad. All I try to do, I try to, you know, try to go back and forth, but Ocho, you know, Ocho's.
Ocho Cinco
Like, hey, we did, we did go back and forth. That was, that was a good one, though. I know you, but you, you laughing. I'M saying for real. That was a good one. I don't that was a good one.

Club Shay Shay: Nightcap Best of Unc & Ocho Clap Backs Part 1: Shaq & Unc Beefin?
Release Date: July 20, 2025
In this electrifying episode of Club Shay Shay's "Nightcap Best of Unc & Ocho Clap Backs Part 1: Shaq & Unc Beefin?", NFL legend Shannon Sharpe engages in a heated and candid discussion with fellow podcaster Ocho Cinco. The episode delves deep into personal conflicts, professional respect, and the dynamics of podcasting within the sports entertainment landscape.
[02:36 – 02:43] Shannon Sharpe opens the conversation by addressing a recent incident where Ocho Cinco felt the need to respond, setting the tone for a no-holds-barred dialogue.
[02:43 – 05:16] Ocho Cinco takes the floor to clarify his stance on a previous remark made towards Cam (Asante Samuel). He emphasizes that his comment about "coming for Cam's spot" was meant as a sign of respect and admiration, not as an insult. Ocho states:
"[03:20] I see you as the standard that is setting the bar in that specific space."
"[05:17] I'm always showing love and respect. No matter what."
He asserts that his approach is to entertain and share stories rather than engage in trolling or negativity, contrasting his style with Cam's more confrontational podcasting approach.
[05:17 – 12:27] Shannon Sharpe responds by highlighting the importance of representation and the role of agents in managing podcast interactions. He points out that his approach involves direct communication through agents rather than personal confrontations, saying:
"[07:04] I reached out to Doug because I knew Doug was your representative."
"[12:27] I wish you guys nothing but the best, but there's enough room for everybody to get a piece of this pie."
Sharpe underscores the significance of maintaining professionalism and not letting personal issues interfere with their respective podcasts' growth and success.
[12:28 – 22:04] The discussion intensifies as both hosts delve into the specifics of their disagreements. Ocho Cinco defends his actions by explaining his multiple roles and responsibilities, dismissing any notion of disrespect. He states:
"[12:28] I got 50, 11 jobs, UNC."
"[22:04] I don't move like that. Never have."
Conversely, Sharpe emphasizes the high stakes involved and suggests that the financial and professional implications of their beef are substantial:
"[11:32] There's too much money at stake. They’re not gonna get me out this spot."
"[12:27] Nightcap, all the smoke, the pivot. It is what it is."
The conversation shifts towards a broader debate about athletic greatness, specifically focusing on Shaquille O'Neal (Shaq) and other sports legends. Sharpe passionately defends Shaq's legacy and athleticism, comparing him to other dominant athletes:
"[22:09] Shaq is the most dominant big man in the history of the game."
"[27:51] Shaq’s size and athleticism are unparalleled."
Ocho Cinco challenges Sharpe's assertions by questioning Shaq's work ethic and the number of MVPs he secured, leading to a spirited back-and-forth about what defines true greatness in sports.
Throughout the episode, both hosts highlight their achievements and express mutual respect despite their disagreements. Shannon Sharpe outlines his illustrious career stats, underscoring his contributions to football:
"[31:32] I got 50, 10,060, 62 touchdowns, eight Pro Bowls, four first team All-Pros, five total, three Super Bowls."
Ocho Cinco counters by sharing anecdotes from his playing days, emphasizing his versatility and understanding of the game from both offensive and defensive perspectives.
As the conversation progresses, both hosts acknowledge the intensity of their exchange but express a desire to move past the conflict. They touch upon the importance of focusing on their respective platforms and maintaining professionalism:
"[32:09] Ocho Cinco: We’ll have a healthy dialogue."
"[33:14] Shannon Sharpe: I ain't got no beef with Shaq. I ain't never had no beef with him."
Ultimately, they conclude that while differences exist, mutual respect and the acknowledgment of each other's achievements take precedence over personal disputes.
The episode wraps up with a commitment to maintaining their unique voices within the podcasting sphere, highlighting that there's ample room for both to thrive without ongoing conflict. They hint at potential future collaborations or discussions, emphasizing the value of diverse perspectives in sports commentary.
This episode of "Nightcap Best of Unc & Ocho Clap Backs Part 1: Shaq & Unc Beefin?" offers a raw and unfiltered look into the complexities of personal and professional relationships within the sports podcasting community. Shannon Sharpe and Ocho Cinco navigate their disagreements with a blend of passion, respect, and a commitment to their respective careers, providing listeners with an engaging and thought-provoking dialogue on fame, respect, and athletic legacy.
