Joe Burrow made some noise this week by indicating he'll play a role in helping push the Bengals to resign. T. Higgins, the franchise tag wide receiver who has been viewed as a like, is likely to leave in 2025.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Has said he would like to stay, but did not offer much confidence. He resigned. Jamar Chase chimed in, said t deserves to be here. He wants to be here. It's all about how they want to play it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

T has parted ways with his agent, David Mugletta. Yeah, I don't know who he's who he signed with ojo, you know, Joe had a situation where after the during the game his home was invaded. Joe, as someone that's been through that. Yes, you feel like your privacy has been invaded by the worst way somebody came into your Home uninvited, went through, ramble through. I don't know if they took anything. And like you said, Joe, you know, you know, you play. You asked to be a professional athlete to be in this role, but it doesn't make it easier.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

And it seems to be something that's reoccurring. Ocho that. And they said it's a gang that came up from South America and they're targeting athletes while they play. Cause if you play, you clearly you're not home.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

And the likelihood of somebody being there because, hey, family, friends and loved ones, they're gonna be at the game watching you. So this is the best time. And you know, it's a. It's a coordinated attack.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

But I don't wish bad on nobody, but I'm gonna tell you, like my grandma used to say, but I don't wish bad on nobody, but I don't wish good on them either. So if. And I saw two of the day at his press conference, he's had armed security.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right?

[Chad Johnson]

They. Y'all might need to think. Y'all might need to think twice. Joe Burrow issued a statement addressing the burglary that occurred at his Cincinnati area home while the Bengals were on the road to face the Cowboys. I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one and is already out there, and I want. I would want out there, and that's more than I care to share. We live a public life. One of the least favorite parts of that is the lack of privacy. I agree. And that's been difficult for me to deal with my entire career. Tua announced that he has hired armed security to guard his house. Just let it be known they are armed. And I hope if you decide to go to my house, you think twice.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, man, that's. That's. That's. That's. It's crazy, huh? It's crazy. We are in different times. We're. We're in different times as people. We're in different times economically. And, you know, people are doing what's necessary to. I don't even know. I don't even know the way to put it. They're taking chances, they're taking life. They're taking life altering chances to take from others and their hard work, you know, and they willing to do whatever.

[Chad Johnson]

And I'm willing to do whatever to protect.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, listen, eye for eye, you know, but man, that's unfortunate. And back to the situation with, obviously, contractually, from a business standpoint, uh, it's impossible. I love the words that all the players are saying about T.1 to stay. And I'm sure we have a lot of Bengal fans in the chat. I think it would be unfair to T. It would be unfair to Jamar Chase, who is. Is. Is due a hefty. A hefty deal, you know?

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I think it's. I think it's also knowing from a business standpoint, it's impossible to pay Chase, and T. Is impossible to pay Chase what he's worth and pay T. What he is worth as well and still have them the same. At some point. The person that would be getting the shit into the stick is T. Higgins. I think T. Higgins deserves to go to a team where he can be the number one guy. It could be his show, and he get the money that he deserves as a number one receiver, which I see him as. I love the thought of T. Steele being there, but the way the business works, you can't afford both of them. You just can. I know Joe. Joe Burrow is saying all the right things, and I would love to see both of them stay there, but it's just impossible. It's just impossible. It's just impossible because of the type of receiver that T. Higgins is. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't take a hometown discount. You don't take a pay cut because you only get so many chances. You'll.

[Chad Johnson]

Not the first O. Not the first coach. You want to take one down the road, you done stack some chip, and we want to try to keep this thing together, win a championship. But not the first one.

[Norton Representative]

No, the first one.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm trying to get every dime I possibly can't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got to. You got to. Because you listen, with this game, with this game of football, you need your security, and you're getting older. You don't get younger. It's not going based. Not going backwards. So you listen, as much as I love the thought of T. Stand there like he deserves his money, the right money, not just anything. Now we're just gonna throw you this and, man, see if you're gonna be happy. Come on. No, man, you can't. You can't do him like that. You can't do them like that.

[Chad Johnson]

No. Hey, so. And Joe's like, hey, my privacy been invaded. Hey. Because I think little shorty wanted to call the police. Jody want y'all to know about that shout.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, we had a little shorty over there.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. You know, a little something over there. You know, come home, you know, okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Early in the morning. Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Honey, I'm home.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

You know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, Joe. Joe gonna have me something. Joe gonna have a nice one.

[Chad Johnson]

I don't blame it. But he don't want people to know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right? Right. Privacy. That's the bingo.

[Chad Johnson]

Because guess what? They Sports Illustrated or somebody model.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

Called the police. Oh, why they had to put that. Just say somebody called the police.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right, Right. Oh, they did. That's all y'all had to do or they did. Oh, they. You know, you got to leave your name now. You know, when you call 91 1, you got to say, who am I? Who am I speaking to?

[Chad Johnson]

Your big neck Mammy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. And, hey, that. That's how I got out. But listen, that's the light. That's the life you live, man. That's the life you live. It's the price. It's the price you pay for fame and being who you are.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Derek Henry dropped the dreads for braids. Twitter said he was like Omar on the wire. Fans have said he lost all his aura. What you think, Ocho?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, we gonna see. We gonna see if he lost his aura come Sunday.

[Chad Johnson]

We are Samson. I don't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I was just gonna say, is he like Samson? We gonna find out. I highly doubt it, because I don't think him running the ball and being as good as he is has anything to do with them dreads. It might be a good thing. He might be lighter.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Ain't got to worry about nobody tackling because, you know, guys tag you. Because it used to be devil's appeal. If you tackle somebody now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If it's hanging out, you got them helmet. It's part of your uniform. You could pull it.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, I know that's painful. You running one way. If somebody pull you. Hey, hey. You jump on. Hey, Ojo. You jump on one fight. What you want to do, bro? That's you. I. I grab your jersey. I was trying to grab your jersey.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

But I don't know how them guys. I mean, some of that stuff. Ocho, they. That. That their hair covered his name. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, most of the time, I think the.

[Chad Johnson]

The.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's a larger percentage of players with dreads that's covering their name. That play on the defensive side of the ball.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Johnson]

Is it?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I like. I like it.

[Chad Johnson]

I think somebody tackled Troy Palamalu by his.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Remember that? I remember that.

[Chad Johnson]

He.

[Shannon Sharpe]

On the interception. He got an interception or picked up a fumble or something. They pulled his hair. Yep, I remember that.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. So Quinn Ewers is reportedly Debating on returning to college football or. And. And foregoing the NFL draft yet again. However, Texas is reportedly ready to move on to Arch Manning next season.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Which replant yours to enter the transfer portal. Many NFL scouts reportedly believe yours could benefit from another year college. Yours has one more year of eligibility left on it, and most likely it will be spent on another top 10 team. The Longhorns quarterback has a decision to make.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, they moving on. He.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He know good and well he might as well go into the portal because Texas is arch managed team from now on. So I'm not sure where he can go. There'll be many, many suitors for him, especially with the nil money where he can come and try to help lead them to a national championship.

[Chad Johnson]

But go to Ohio State.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, you got to be careful now.

[Chad Johnson]

You got.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got to be careful. If you go to Ohio State, you have to understand who the quarterbacks are that are already there. Are you able to beat them out? Are you better than what they already have at Ohio State? You know, isn't Dylan Gabriel. Isn't he a senior?

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, go to Oregon.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, go take. Take ass Oregon. They. They put it in there, but you got to be. You got to make sure. You got to make sure you can beat out whoever's already there. If you can't, well, you're gonna be stuck.

[Chad Johnson]

Well, he ain't gonna be stuck. He ain't gonna be stuck at what you call him in Texas.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No.

[Chad Johnson]

No. Because they're going to Arch. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, he knows that it might.

[Chad Johnson]

Be a situation where they encourage him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

To enter the portal.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I think. I think he can read the room. He could read the room.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Oh, Joe. Travis Hunter is the Associate AP College Football Player of the Year, rightfully so. Received 26 of 2043 votes on a panel of AP Top 25 voters. Hunter kept piling up the hardware. He also won the Walter Kemp Player of the Year award along with the Chuck McNair as top receiver and the Balintnikov Award. Yeah, no, the Chuck McNair as a top defensive player and the Balitnikov Award as the top receiver. And he should have won the Thorpe Award.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah, but they didn't want.

[Chad Johnson]

Because if he'd won that, nobody else. I don't believe another player would have ever won these.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. Well, that's not. That's not the only one. He got one more coming too, now.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. He got.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He got one more. He got one more coming. That's some good hardware too. Before the Draft.

[Chad Johnson]

That's a real hardware, Ocho. Does the Thorpe understand how that looks? I'm not saying. Let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho, he doesn't win the award, Right? But do you know how that looks when you don't have him as a finalist and he just won the. Chuck McNair as the top defensive player? Is DB not on the defensive side of the football?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen, they don't know what they doing. They don't know what they're doing, okay? We can't give him everything. We can't. I mean, because they didn't.

[Chad Johnson]

You. You. You.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know. You know how they are. You know, you know how the people are. The people that are in positions of power. You know, we. We gonna find a way. We're gonna find a way around it. We're gonna find some type of excuse. And I would love. I would love to hear the reasoning behind whoever makes the decision on whether he wins it or not. Why wouldn't you give it to him? What's the gripe? Did you watch him play? Do you actually understand the game of football and what he was able to do this season as a defensive back? No. Oh, come on now. It's always personal. It's always personal.

[Chad Johnson]

He had a phenomenal season. He had a phenomenal season. An Ohio politician has seen enough of flag planning by visitors for visiting sports team Republican state. Josh Williams said Wednesday on social media he introducing a bill to make flag planning in sports a felony in the state. His proposal comes after November 30th. Fight. Fight. @ the Michigan Ohio State rivalry football game when the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes 13:10 and then attempted to plant the flag at midfield. Guys, I don't know. Would this be considered like a snowflake? I'm just kind of. So. So I. Hey, Chad, y'all help me out. What would this be considered? Snowflakeism.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's a good one. That's a good one.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm just curious. I mean, Ocho and I, we don't do politics here. But I'm just. I just. I'm just trying to figure out. I mean, you will introduce a bill, a bill that if a visiting player were to plant their team flag on your logo at midfield, it is a felony.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah. They folk. Hey, listen, they focus on the wrong.

[Chad Johnson]

Stuff, win the game, and they won't play in it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, it's simple. It's simple. Simple. And they. They. They make. They making rules. They making rules for about the wrong kind of stuff.

[Chad Johnson]

Man, they better Be glad I wasn't doing that when I was there. I might have pulled my pants off and planted some seeds myself.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Wait. Hey. You see? You see how. You see?

[Chad Johnson]

I won't plant no flag. I was planning something else.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You see how fast. You see how fast? They created a bill for something that really has no meaning, it ain't harming nobody, but don't want to create a bill for. Never mind. I'm gonna leave that alone. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not in the policy. I'm not a politician, But I'm just.

[Chad Johnson]

Saying I should be in politics.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You see how fast they move? You see how fast they move? Huh? Yeah. It depends on what it is.

[Chad Johnson]

What are you gonna do? No, I work for a certain group of people. Y'all put me in office. That's who I'm working for. Because everybody ain't putting me in office.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right? Right.

[Chad Johnson]

So put me in office. I'm gonna do exactly what I say. What about the budget? What about it? What? Hey, I look at everything as unlimited, right? Yeah. Yeah. We worry about it down the road. We kick the can down the road. Shit.

It. It wasn't. It wasn't that bad. It wasn't that bad. But I. I like the fact that KD engages with the fans. Someone. Someone that polarizing, a figure of that magnitude, one of the best in the world has ever played, probably the greatest score of all time, sits there and he interacts with us regular folk. I like that. Yeah, I like that. And I think more.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I understand you have a responsibility, but it ain't nothing wrong with flying back every blue moon. Every moon. You ain't gotta do it all the time. Just every so often somebody say something slick in the lip, you just hit him real quick. Just hit him real quick.

[Chad Johnson]

You know, Ocho, I used to, I used to be like this before I became a CEO.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right, right, right, right.

[Chad Johnson]

See, and you know, when I, you know, when I was the CEO, you know, I could do something like that. Now I'm gonna let them. Let them have their moment.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh Joe Beyonce and Mariah Carey both will perform in at NFL Christmas Day game. Mariah's performance on Christmas game day will air ahead of the live games. Beyonce will perform in her hometown of Houston during the Ravens Texans game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, that's going to be live. What? That's going to be live. What platform is this on? Do you know?

[Chad Johnson]

Netflix.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's on Netflix. Whoa, wait a minute now. Now listen, I wonder, are the servers going to be able to handle the amount of people that are going to be watching? Because obviously when it was the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight there were some issues with the service because NFL.

[Chad Johnson]

Gonna lose their damn mind if them servers don't handle it. I'm telling you. Yeah, you know how the NFL is about that problem.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh yeah, they don't play so, obviously, whatever problems there was, there were. When Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fought, where it was kind of buffering. It was kind of messed up a little bit. I'm sure those had been rectified, understanding that you have Mariah Carey and goddamn Beyonce coming, you know, for the Texans Ravens game. So I'm assuming those issues are going to be fixed, but that's going to be dope. That's gonna be dope because a lot of people that ain't even tuning in to watch no goddamn football are gonna be tuned in. Yeah, they're gonna be tuned in. Cause I'm gonna be tuned in.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. They want to see, you know, game on Christmas. Yeah. And they obviously want to see Beyonce. NFL, man. Leave Beyonce alone. Let that woman have a break.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But listen, that's. That's what you need, huh? That's what you need, you know, And BB Is the real DID at all. She does. I told you. Remember I told you I was a backup dancer on the. On the tour, right? Yeah, One of the. One of the girls, one of the backup dancer, male dudes, toys Achilles. He told. And I. I filled in for the back half of the tour. It was a great experience. Beyonce was cool. She was cool as hell. And, you know, she treated. She treated as well. I was hoping to work with her again, but now, you know, I got too many damn jobs now.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, but look, I mean, I guess the best part about having Jay. Jay Z in the fold is, you know, you get access to Beyonce and it's kind of hard. Like, babe, I need you to do me this solid.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Because normally when they ask, she doesn't tell them no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

But Mariah and Beyonce will be performing at Christmas Day game. Mariah will perform. Her performance will air ahead of the game, and then Beyonce will perform at the halftime of the Ravens Texans game. All right, Ocho, now it's time for Q and a. Q and A.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, damn, we got a Q and A. Too fast. I'm feeling good tonight. Right. And we can stay on another two hours. I took me a nap.

[Chad Johnson]

Ocho, before we get started, we got a shout out at Scentsy Kid 19. Check this out, Ocho. Yeah. @ Sissy Kid 19. He's watched 13,000, 623 minutes of the Nightcap podcast this year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he on. He on the night. You think he on the night?

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, what's up? What's up, Cincy kid? I'm assuming he's From Cincinnati. Right.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, probably. I mean, he could. Theoretically. I mean, he could be from Pittsburgh, but really, I don't know if the Cynthia kid. Then again, it might be Jordan, so.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, Cincinnati kid, if you watching tonight, man, I salute you. I salute you. I appreciate the support, homie. If you are from Cincinnati, you already know what it is.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, he from Scentsy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I appreciate it, man. That's love, man. That's love.

[Chad Johnson]

It absolutely is. We appreciate your support, man. Appreciate you always tuning in and checking us out. The Scentsy kid has watched the grand total of 13,623 minutes since the kid 19. We salute you, bro. Terrence G. Said. Hey, guys, another poor season for my Bears. What do you think about hiring Brian Flores? I love him. I love it because the only thing that matters to him is winning. I think he was going to get another opportunity. I think most coaches, it's the second time around. Every once in a while, you get coaches that figure it out the first time. But if you look at a lot of times, the first coaches, Coach Billy. I mean, Coach Belichick, first time. Cleveland, okay. But not so well.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

So that Mike Shanahan, his first job in. In Cincinnati, in Oakland, Denver, figured it out. You look at Pete Carroll, Pete Carroll had two stops. People don't realize before he went to Seattle, he was at the jets and the Patriots, not so much.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Now you look at Bill Parcels, look at the success he had. First stop, boom. Jimmy Johnson, first stop, boom. But a lot of times, guys, it takes a couple of stops, at least one stop before they figure it out. And I think he learned by some of the things that he did well, some of the things that at the end of the day, you got to be you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Y'all gotta stop trying to be Coach Belichick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

And that's what I think. That's why a lot of his disciples, guys that came from Coach Belichick, they tried too hard to be like him. Ocho. And they don't be themselves.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

There's only one Coach Belichick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. And you know what else is important, too? For these coaches that get these stops, maybe be 1, 2, 3. Now, how many stops it is. But normally it's all about situation and where you go. Because if you. If you go to the right team with the right personnel and the right players, that it can be one stop. It can be one stop depending on where you go. So we think about Brian Flores getting another opportunity. Hell, he can go any goddamn way. If you kick, if you take the Same personality got with the goddamn Vikings. You take the Viking defense with you, but you go to another team that doesn't have the same type of players or the same type of skill set at certain positions that allow you to do some of the things you do in Minnesota, it's gonna be a problem.

[Chad Johnson]

You right? Myrtle land 88. Ask Dan. Oh, next time. First take why the Rams play so poorly even though they're more healthy than the 49ers.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It rain.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, I want to ask him. Brock Purdy still, you know, still a top five quarterback, still elite.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They said he was that.

[Chad Johnson]

What do you say? Every time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They said he was serious. But. But normally, you know, when you're a top five quarterback, right, despite the injuries, despite the players that are out, you know what they continue to do? Uplift their. What?

[Chad Johnson]

I'm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm just saying. Now, I could be wrong. I just been watching the game of football for 20, 25 years. But I'm just saying, if you're a top five quarterback, once you're in that category, in that tier, regardless of who's hurt or who's around you, you continue to uplift. What did Josh Allen done? Okay, I'm just curious. I'm just curious. I'm. Okay, I'm gonna let that go because I don't really like talking about people too much. I didn't. Got a little better at it, but yeah, you get the point.

[Chad Johnson]

Odie Pope 2. Hey, Uncle Joe, as a Seahawks fan, do you think we have any chance to win these next game and win the division? You got that, right. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What you talking about, man? We got Geno Smith. What? You know what Geno Smith from, boy from the 305. Anytime you got somebody with that type of background, based on where they from and what he's done, you know what Gino Smith been through to get to the point where. Man, don't get me started, man. Y'all good. You got. You got opportunity. And listen, that goddamn. That damn. That conference, that nfc, that's up for grabs. That nfc, NFC west, right?

[Chad Johnson]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, that's up for grabs. What you talking about? And if there's anybody that's gonna do it, it's gonna be goddamn Geno.

[Chad Johnson]

I agree. I like them. I like them. Red Hood said, ocho, Ocho, you and Vic gotta retire from Madden. Just cause y'all ambassadors don't make y'all good. Y'all go into. Hold on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Time out. Time out. Time out. Time out, young boy. Time out, young boy. Listen, for one, I'm the best player in Madden in the world. The problem is, is the fact that I haven't been able to play Madden the way I used to because I got 57, 11,000 goddamn jobs. So I haven't been able to be on Madden as much as I like to. Which is why you saw me lose tonight. The sketch. That's it.

[Chad Johnson]

We'll get your ass off there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's it. That's it. That's it. I haven't had the time, I haven't had the adequate time to put the time in like I used to. I used to win the Madden bowls. I used to win the Madden bowls. That's how great I was. But the fact that the past five, six years like I've been stacking job after job and I ain't really had time to focus on gaming the way I used to.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay, well stay off it because you've been stacking L after L. Just like you stacking jobs, you stacking L's now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right, right. We see. You see, you see, that's what happens. And because of my job, that, that, that is also, it has also ruined my romantic interests as well. You see, I've had, I've had a single. I prayed on stuff like this, I prayed on opportunities like this and just everything seemed to be falling by the wayside because God has given me what I prayed for.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, a bunch of als, 4k t say okay. You ever heard of the story Junior Bridgeman, former bug flare, 70s and 80s, made 2.95 a little less than $3 million playing brought winners and Chili's franchises after his career. I absolutely have turned those into he's just American success story. One of the first African American American players to take the small money that he made invested off time he learned the business invested and now he's worth 7,800 million dollars. Yeah, but absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And he's one of the few too. Think about all the horror stories with that small amount of money that he took a chance with. Think about all the horror stories that people have had that had more money than that. Investment after investment after investment and they failed. I think a lot of people always hear the good stories about people investing their money. And every time you hear somebody about getting a lump sum of money, the first thing they say oh, I'm going to invest it. Not realizing nine times out of ten you're going to lose before you hit. So you have to have the money to continue to keep investing because you're going to take loss after loss after loss every time you invest in something it ain't going to hit.

[Chad Johnson]

Nope. You're absolutely right. And so that's what you have to like, you know, hey, I'm going to take these singles because, you know, everybody. Everybody ain't going to be able to hit the Google and the door dash and the ride share and all that other stuff. Everybody gonna be able to hit out the park with that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm gonna take these little singles right here, Ocho. Just keep my little 7, 6, 7%.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

I would love to have a couple to hit. 25, 30, 10x.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's hard.

[Chad Johnson]

It's hard at this point in time now. It's hard because I can't to lose. I can't. I'll never make it up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, you can't. I mean, not. Not at this point in our life, though.

[Chad Johnson]

Nope. Adrian Macedo, Ocho, the River Dance. The top five celebrations of all times. What made you do it?

[Shannon Sharpe]

River Dance Saturday. The Lord of the Lord of the Something. Lord of the Dance. The commercial came on. We were playing Chicago. It was 2005. I never forget. And this is how the celebration came about. The Lord of the Dance was in Chicago at the time. And the commercial came on in the hotel room, and I was like, you know what? That is cool. It's funny. So I practiced in the hotel room, and I had no choice but to score. And so obviously, when I did score against the Bears, I tried to do what I saw the previous. The previous night in the hotel room, and that's where most of my celebrations came from. When I did the Tiger woods putt on Tiger, Tiger just won a major. And he did the. You know, he did the. Yeah, did the fist pump, and that's why I grabbed the pylon, and I just copied that. When I did the marriage. When I did the marriage proposal to the cheerleader on the sideline, my homeboy had just got married. I said, you know what, boy? I got one for you. You know? And I told the cheerleaders, I don't know who's going to be near me once I score, but when I come to you, just react as if I'm really proposing.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Every. Everything was a spur of the moment.

[Chad Johnson]

The last. The underscore. Last underscore philosopher said, if Drea text y'all, hey, at 12am what y'all doing? He ain't taxing me. I ain't got. She ain't got my number.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Dre. Who?

[Chad Johnson]

She got some. She got some. She has someone. I'm happy for her. I'm happy for him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look, who is Drake Dre? Who?

[Chad Johnson]

How many dreams you know, Ocho?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't even like that hypothetical.

[Chad Johnson]

But I'm just saying me first of all, let me tell you how I am. I got too old. And I never asked more than I'm willing to give. So you know what? I ain't gonna call you at 12am and you damn sure better not call me because I ain't coming. I ain't gonna ask you to come. I done got too old. I ain't getting up and unlocking no door and that. Cause I might. I ain't gonna be able to go back to sleep. I'm not finna interrupt my sleep pattern. And if you call me, my phone is set to a special ring. It better be. It better be Kayla, Kiari or Poo. It better be my brother, sister or my mom. Yeah, other than that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

No, don't. Don't call. Don't call me Ash. Because I already know you want some bullsh. No, no, I don't. I don't. I don't do that. I don't do that. No. Hell no. Waking somebody up, talking about what?

I was changing my alternator. What you think people be doing at 1:30 in the morning? Don't joke.

[Chad Johnson]

I am not. Boy, anybody that knows Shannon, they know Shannon do not like to be waking up, woken up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right, right, right, right, right.

[Chad Johnson]

And I definitely don't be wanting to be walking about no bullshit.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Matter of fact, just for you saying that, I'm going to call you every day when we all at 2 in the morning.

[Chad Johnson]

See, I'm a car. How about that? What you call me after police there's someone prank swatting me? Nah, man, don't be calling nobody. Look, teach his own. I mean, if that's the type of relationship y'all want people want to have, I ain't got no problem with it, Ocho. I just ain't one of those.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Never that. Because you.

[Chad Johnson]

The Rams got four field goals, but that was enough to beat the 49ers 12 to 6 in a very sloppy game. But the news out of the game was devondre Campbell told the team he did not want to play anymore and he left the game in the third quarter of tonight's game, Kyle Shanahan said. Trevarius Ward, who was a teammate, spoke about devondre Campbell leaving the team in the middle of the game. He's probably going to get cut. Kyle Shanahan ripped Campbell after the Niners loss. That's somebody who doesn't want to play the game. Plain and simple. Not a good look. I wish the young man all the best, but that was a horrible, horrible decision that he made. Thank you guys for joining us. I'm up. He's Ocho. Remember, we're off Saturday. Damn. We'll we'll see you Sunday after Sunday Night Football.
