It's Jeff C from Club 520 podcast here to share my latest fresh take on the 2025 NCAA tournament. Brought to you by Wendy's the official Hamburger of March Madness. This past weekend was a great round 32. I had the best game of the year. Had to be the Maryland versus Colorado State game. It ended with a game winner. It was exciting. Derrick Queen Good shot. Looking ahead to the Sweet 16. I'm really looking forward to watching Arkansas versus Texas Tech. I'm looking forward to it because it's similar styles. They both play hard defense, they both greedy teams and they play in the post. It should be a battle for the ages. I'm also looking forward to the Duke vs. Arizona game. Both elite programs. Legendary status. It should be a battle that we all looking forward to. Probably be the game of the night. And when it comes to the Final Four, I'm all in on Duke and Houston. Two great coaches, two legendary programs. Should be exciting for their road to the Final Four. More from me soon. But while you're watching the games, remember the freshest deal in fast foods.

Currently, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the US and it's on the rise in people under the age of 50. But when caught at early stages, colon cancer is survivable in 90% of the people. So screening and early detection are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths. And a great one of a kind way to feel more in control of your colon cancer screening is through the Cologuard Test, a prescription based test with none of the prep that's required for colonoscopy. The Cologuard test is the only FDA approved non invasive option that looks for both altered DNA and blood in your stool which can indicate the presence of abnormal cells. This test offers convenience and ease of use and the kit is delivered right to your door. Once you complete the kit, it is returned to the lab and results are available within two weeks. Plus, it's affordable. Most insured patients pay $0 and if you do need a colonoscopy as a follow up, most insurance plans cover that as well. So if you're 45 or and at average risk, ask your healthcare provider about screening for colon cancer with the Cologuard test. You can 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 the Cologuard test if you've had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease or certain hereditary syndromes, or personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The Cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopy in high risk patients. Cologuard test performs in adults age 45 to 49 is estimated and based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older, false positives and false negatives can occur. Cologuard is available by prescription only. What else we got video of Dak Prescott has gone viral for looking like he's in the best shape of his life. Report says he's down 33 pounds. He's sitting at 205, down from 238. Hamstring is solid. Expect to see Lamar Jackson level of athleticism this year from Dak. He's also considering rocking a single sleeve. Hold on. First of all, Dak has never had Lamar Jackson's athletic system. So you can't talk about. You're gonna have something that you never had. Guys, don't be cut. Ocho. Athleticism is something that you're born with.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Now listen. Also listen, him being down however many pounds he's down, the smaller you are, the better you move. The smaller. The smaller you are, the better you're going to be able to move. Maybe extending plays, you might. You might not be.
Shannon Sharpe
You need that weight to take them out. That hit them. Hit.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, that too.
Shannon Sharpe
So Bryce, he never taken the NFL hit at 205. That's a big difference.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, you right. But I still think it can be. It can. I think being smaller for that can be advantageous for him in his game and being able to obviously extend plays, move around a little bit better, be a little bit quicker, lighter on his feet. It could be cool.
Shannon Sharpe
But also, oh, you have to factor in he broke his leg. Dak was never the most athletic. But why we got to go to the. Arguably, you talk about one of the two or three most athletic quarterbacks in the history of the game, right? So you go to that comparison.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's a good one. That's a good one.
Shannon Sharpe
Why you got to go all the way to the top?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, if you fall short, guess what? If you fall. If. If you fall short.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm not as athletic as Lamar. I'm athletic as Dak Prescott, okay?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, ain't no in between.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't know. He didn't give me no in between. He went straight to the top, but he didn't give me no in between. What am I supposed to work with?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, that's. That's funny. That's funny. I know one. I know one thing. Jerry better get Dax some goddamn. Excuse me. Some help. We need. I'm talking about. We. My bad. I'm tripping. They need a number two receiver. They need a good number two. A solid number two. Yeah, hold on, hold on.
Shannon Sharpe
Went to New Orleans.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It just dawned on me.
Shannon Sharpe
What?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What if Jerry go get Tyreek.
Shannon Sharpe
And play have two receivers making 30 million, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, shoot, we got two making 30 million. Cincinnati. I mean, was. It was not. Talk to me.
Shannon Sharpe
When did Jerry. When did Jerry done that?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He'd never done it. And that's the problem.
Shannon Sharpe
When is, when is the top $20, 15. When?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You heard me. When have the Bengals ever made a historic deal like that with two receivers? Never. If you want things to change, you got to do things you've never done before. Maybe Jerry might do something he's never done before. Tyreek Hill, from the Dolphins to the Cowboys, who says no?
Shannon Sharpe
Jerry. And that's the only person. That's the only person. That's the only person that really matters. I mean, if you look at it, Ocho, he normally does one year deals somewhere in the range of 2 to 8 million dollars.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Whoa. This ain't, this ain't no. Huh? Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Ocho, that man wouldn't go spend $8 million for Derrick Henry.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Derrick Henry?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. You think he gonna spend $30 million for Tyreek? Hey, the man said, you know, Derek Henry, you know, he, he probably would have done that when considering. Derrick Henry has done that every year he's been in the league. Except the year he got hurt. And he had 1100 yards in about.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
8, 9 games when he got hurt.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but if you look at him, he's rushed for 2000. He's rushed for 15. He has what, the second most 1500 yard rush season behind Barry.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't. I don't.
Shannon Sharpe
And you think that man gonna spend $30 million on the receiver? I.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Listen, I'm just, I'm just saying if I was the owner, if I was an owner and I'm hearing speculation, I'm hearing rumors, and I know I could use the number two. A long. CD Lamb. I want to do everything I possibly can to make Dak's job even easier. Add another offensive weapon. Take some of the pressure not off, not only off of Dak, but take some of the pressure off CD Lamb. Give him some one on one opportunities for a change. I mean, it's just something I would do. I mean, Jerry Jones. Let's make a splash. Most valuable franchise. Let's make a splash. Yours in headlines. Let's make a splash.
Shannon Sharpe
As much as you. That sounds like a very good idea. I don't see that happening. O Joe.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I really don't see you. I'm just saying if I was the owner, that's what I asked, that's what I would do. I don't want to be in the Headline for what I say. I want to be in the headline for what I do, and I'm making a splash.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, the Cowboys ain't done that in 30 years, so.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They.
Shannon Sharpe
More. They're mainly in the headlines for what. What they say, not what they do. During an appearance on Built For More podcast, Brock Purdy said he thought fatigue played a big role in the 49ers dropped to 6 and 11 last season. Last year, man, guys were tired. That season is no joke. And when you go from July to training camp and everything and all the way to the end of February and then you really get five weeks off. So until you've got the report back and then you're going to go, you're going at it again. Guys are tired. They're still beat up their bodies. Is that a valid excuse or. Joe.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Now. They weren't tired. That wasn't. They weren't tired. I can tell you why. I can tell you why their record was what it was because of injuries. I can tell you that. That's why it looked the way it did last year. It had to do with being tired.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, Chiefs will be exhausted. I don't even know how to cheat. I don't even know how to cheat. Holding up. Hey, because they've been. They've been in five Super Bowls in the last six years. They go to the AFC Championship game every year.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Every year.
Shannon Sharpe
So if y'all are tired from.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So what are they.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I don't even know how to. I don't know how the Chiefs. I don't even know how the Chiefs holding up. Ocho.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't.
Shannon Sharpe
Honestly, I don't.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, I understand what Brock is saying, but. No, everybody's tired at that point, especially depending on how far you make it into the play, into the postseason. Everybody's tired. Everybody's injured.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't like Ocho. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, me and you and you and I, we're arguing. Why would you even say that? Do guys understand how. That when they say things, that seems like you're making excuses, do they understand how people look at it? Like you're making excuses?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right. But also. See, this is what I talked about, too. Also. You want players telling the truth now. Remember I said that?
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I wish players would be more honest on how they truly feel instead of always being goddamn politically correct. Now we're getting players that are telling the truth on how they truly feel, and we're chastising them for it.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't want players telling you correct. So you like McMillan saying that he don't like watching film and he doesn't study film.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, no, no, no, no.
Shannon Sharpe
That's what you just said. You said you want players telling the truth. You can't have it both ways. You just said you like players telling the truth. MacMillan told the truth. He doesn't like studying film. He doesn't watch film alone because he watches it as a group at practice.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
So you okay with that?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, I'm not.
Shannon Sharpe
Why not? He told the truth.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I think you. You asked me a question. Yeah, I answered the question. I want people to be a little bit more honest sometimes.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, he was honest. But you're not okay with that honesty.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I ain't like. I ain't like that honesty. No. I ain't like that one.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Lord.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You got. You got. You got to pick out. You got to pick and choose. What you. What you say now?
Shannon Sharpe
That's my pocho. You just made my point. Pick and choose. In this situation, why would you make an excuse? Hey, it didn't work. We didn't play our best football. That's on me. I've got to play better. Guys around me got to play better. So even when guys get injured, we lost some key players, but guys that come in, we're plenty good enough with the guys that we had to replace. Even if you don't believe that, because ain't no making up for Christian McCaffrey. You ain't got nobody. That guy's an offensive player of the year. Yeah, he was in the MVP discussion. See, hey, big trend, but, hey, guys have to come in and do their job when the starters go down. That's why you're in that position, bro. Don't give me that. We were tired. What the hell you think Kansas City was? Kansas City had gone. They went back to back Super Bowls and went to the third Super Bowl. So they should have been exhausted.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
And remember, oh, the year before they went to the championship game and the year before that, they went to the Super Bowl.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And you know what, though, man. Man, that. I don't know. Just everybody. Everybody sound like some damn robots. Everybody would sound like some robots. I mean, that's. That's basically what the NFL sounds like in general. You listen to quarterbacks talk, you listen to certain players talk, Everything is the same. It's the same thing. Same story, same answer, same, same everything.
Shannon Sharpe
So you like the excuse making.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, I didn't know. I'm just saying. I'm just.
Shannon Sharpe
So, what was that? So tell me what that Was.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, that was the excuse about being tired.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't get. I don't want to listen.
Shannon Sharpe
No, that's what he said. So you okay with excuse making?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's. That's how he felt. I didn't listen. Damn. He's telling the truth on how he felt. Okay. I felt we went 6, 11 or whatever it may have been because we were tired. Well, I. To me, based on what I saw, it had nothing to do with me and tired. I saw how happy goddamn team depleted. Are you Out. Trent Williams, out. Christian McCaffrey, out. Okay, there you go. Three goddamn stars out. That's why you have six and 11. I can tell you that.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't. I just don't get these guys, man. Everything. Everything shouldn't. You don't have to say everything.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Hey, sometimes you got to be real Unc, man. Oh, my goodness. Hey, Brock. Say, boy, was we. Was t. Oh, man, I used to. Hey, listen, when I used to go to school, man, you want to know what tired is? Huh? I used to walk 12 miles uphill both ways to go to school. Somebody was tired, man. Shoot. Well, football is recreation. That's fun.
Shannon Sharpe
Man. I just. Look, there. There are ways that you can say things and to get your point across and with these guys now. But look, see, I can tell the people that's in the chat. Ocho, that's never been a part of a team because they want to say anything because they don't care. Because at the end of the day, when you're a part of a team, you just can't say anything. You just can't do anything because it's for the betterment of the team when you're an individual. Now, Serena, we want to say she was tired, okay? That's Serena. She ain't got nobody feeling in for.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Tiger woods wanted to say he was tired. Well, that's fine. But when you are part of a team, you understand, right? A lot of times people have never been a part of a team or part of a winning team. There's a difference between the two.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Go back and study my track record.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Talk to him, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
I know. Curv. Asian dollar. I know. That's why I'm single. I'm okay with being single. It seemed like you're not okay with being single.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hold on. What was her name?
Shannon Sharpe
Elcho. Hold on. It seemed like Elcho. You know what it seemed like? It seemed like everybody got a problem with me being single but me. And who said I was single?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You got you somebody.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't remember. I don't remember saying anything.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hold on. You got you somebody and ain't tell nobody.
Shannon Sharpe
I've never told anybody anything. I don't say yay or nay. Okay? I just let people talk.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, let me.
Shannon Sharpe
Let me know that way. Because I like what people. I like when people say, well, I thought this was this, okay?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right?
Shannon Sharpe
Man, I ain't know you. I didn't know I supposed to make an announcement. I just try to figure out. So what I mean, was I supposed to tell people, make an announcement?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, I would. Listen, I've been trying to hook you up with somebody for damn near three years now.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't got no flat tie. Why you trying to hook me up? You told Trump.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, boy. Hey. Hey. You shot when I sent you earlier today. I saw that, man. Boy, listen, you know I don't go nowhere. But I told you 220. I told you 20, 25. I'm not playing. I'm going out. I'm stepping.
Shannon Sharpe
You need to get back. You need to get. You need to get back. You need to get your ass back inside.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Why? What happened?
Shannon Sharpe
You just need to be inside.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, we still got. How many. How many more months we got before 2025 is up?
Shannon Sharpe
9.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So we got nine more months of me being outside and nine more months of me putting on clothes. But listen, let me finish, though.
Shannon Sharpe
Go ahead.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I went out Saturday. I went to a little place, a nice little lounge. I don't really go nowhere, so I'm excited. I'm like a little kid lounge in Broward called Seashore. They were very nice. You know, they played some good music. Good. Good oldies, too.
Shannon Sharpe
I like that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, they played Mint Condition. I ain't heard this song from mint condition since 1994. Please tell you. Please tell me. Remember the song? So Fine, so Fine. Yeah. Oh, hey. I was so rude. I told the DJ I had him running back three times.
Shannon Sharpe
Damn.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I. I swear, I had him running back three times. I ain't heard it in so long, and it sounded so good. Then the day. The day I went to, I went to something in. In Broward called BB Sundays. They was in there cutting up. You hear me? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
You need me to come down there and make a guest appearance?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Man, they told me, man. Dog, they told me to ask you. Slim Cat, I know you're gonna see this. He told me, mantel, come on down here. Cause what I sent you, it's, like all over this. It looks just like that. Oh.
Shannon Sharpe
So I'm trying to be Good. Oh, so I'm just trying to. I'm trying to look.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, you gotta.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, you gotta come to Miami. Let the people in Miami see y'all. Yeah, it's okay. Come on. Hey, I could take it to tootsies. You hear me?
Shannon Sharpe
I'm going to place like that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, I can say okay. Let me take you to booby trap. Well, what are you gonna cut it back? No, booby trap.
Shannon Sharpe
Booty.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, that's where you get it from. You go to booby trap, you get the booty.
Shannon Sharpe
Nah, nah, I'm done with you, man. Let me live, Ocho.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, hey, listen. Let me tell you. You talk about living. I'm having a good time, boy. You hear me? I'm listening. The things that I'm doing are out of character. It just feels good to be outside for a change. It feels good to look good for a change and not repeat the same outfit for seven, eight days in a row. And it's. I'm just. I'm just happy. I'm at peace. It feels good. It looks good on me. Hey. Hey, Chad.
Shannon Sharpe
Cam, an interesting debate happened on X this weekend. All in their prime. Which wide receiver are you cutting? There was four wide receivers. Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Chad Ochocinko Johnson, Reggie Wayne.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Cheer. I'm cutting me.
Shannon Sharpe
Who y'all cutting? Chat Fitz, Reggie Wayne. What you think of Ocho? Who you got?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Shoot, I'm cut. I'm cutting me.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, we got two. Two Florida boys. You and Reggie submitted from Cali and Fist is from Minnesota. Seemed like Richard Wayne getting cut. Somebody talking about Smitty.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, and you know, it's so difficult. It's so difficult, man. You look at those dudes, man. Legend. Legend. I'm talking about legends. Oh, yeah, Larry. Hey, that. That run. That was. That 2009 in the Super Bowl? No, that playoff run. Larry Fjer.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Steve Smith that year, that's really had a run, too.
Shannon Sharpe
When he put like. He put like 200 something on Chicago, 200 something on the Rams and overtime.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The triple crown year. That was the triple crown year, wasn't it? 05, man, stop playing. He was cutting up. And you know, Reggie was. Reggie. Reggie was a perfectionist on the. On the other side of Marvin Harrison, man. Legendary, man. All them boys.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to Alden neighbors.
Brendan Patrick Hughes
And said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century and the God damnedest love story you've ever heard.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I picked up the phone and my thought was this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.
Shannon Sharpe

Justin Fields will start the 2025 season as a team starter. General manager Darren Mug I guess that's just how you say it. The Jazz G We believe Justin is the starter. We believe in Justin. We believe we can win with Justin. We're excited about Justin's potential. Fields, 26, will follow Aaron Rodgers who went 6 and 12 in two years as the starter feels went 4 and 2 and his six starts last season throwing five touchdowns with an interception. The jets signed Fields to a two year deal hoping he can prove their long can prove their long term starter. You like what? The gym? You like the gym? Showing confidence.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I love that he came out and said this song. Justin has done. He's had to deal with enough. He had to deal with enough when he was in Chicago. Them letting him go, not believing in him, him going to the Steelers, him getting the job because Russell got injured, right? Then when Russell gets back, the job is taken away from him. So to hear the GM over the jets say, you are our starter and now you have nothing to worry about. You don't have to look over your shoulder so you can just go play football.
Shannon Sharpe
Agree.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The main thing is, the main thing now the ball is in your court. You have a chance to solidify yourself as a starting quarterback for the New York jets based on your play. And if it doesn't work out the way it should, it's nobody else's fault except your own.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I don't know who the OC is, Ocho. I think the thing is people looking at the jets like look at the team, look at the players that have left the jets in the success they've had. Look at Gino, look at Sam Darnold. Now the difference is look at what Geno was throwing to in Seattle, right? Look at what Sam Donald was throwing to. Now are y'all going to give him, are y'all going to give Justin Field those type of weapons?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean they need, they need one more if they want to add one because you already have One in Garrett Wilson, who was able to win. He had a hell of a hell of a goddamn rookie season and things kind of tapered off after that. But we know what he can do. If you're able to give him the ball and you put him in positions to make some of the plays that other players are getting opportunities to make around the league, you know what you can do with that. So we had the draft coming up. I mean, I think all off season acquisitions or moves have been made to date so far. So.
Shannon Sharpe
Much malice in the palace. Oh, oh. From the, from the lions. Oh, okay. Okay. So AG brought passing game coordinate. Okay. Okay. I hope, I hope Fields figures this thing out because he is a. He is Tanner Egg Strand. I mean these guys got these last long and these crazy ass name in Strand, England. In Strand. In Strand. Tanner. Good luck, bro. Hey.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey.
Shannon Sharpe
They just gonna call him coach. You know, a lot of times they call people.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey.
Shannon Sharpe
They call people by their last name. Nah. Hey, Tanner. Coach Ocho. The new Torpedo bats drew attention when the New York Yankees hit A team record nine home runs that traveled a combined 3,695ft on Saturday. The bats are using a strikingly different model in the wood is moved lower down the barrel after the label and the shapes end up looking like a bowling pin. Paul Goldsmith, Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells, Anthony Blow. Jazz Chisholm homer in New York's 29 route of Milwaukee Brewers. Also, Aaron Judge hit three home runs. The Yankees hit four more homers today on a 12, 3 win Sunday. Fifteen homers through the first three games match the most in a single series. The first three games of the season. Detroit Tigers for the most in major league history. They're technically legal. What do you think about these bats, Ocho? Have you seen them?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, I haven't seen them. I haven't seen them.
Shannon Sharpe
They look like a bowling pin.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They look like a bowling pin.
Shannon Sharpe
Aaron Judge does not use the bat. He said the reason why he's not using the bat, he said, did you see the season I had last year? Why would I change? I like led the league at homers, led the league in RBIs and I finished third in batting average. So almost won the triple crown. I won my second MVP in three seasons. Why would I change my bat now? The other guys, hey, I get it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They can do their thing.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
If it's not broke, don't fix it. So obviously, Aaron, that's exactly what he said. Hey, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Which I don't blame him. I mean, I'm putting up those numbers And I got a four. I got a $360 million contract that's paying me $40 million a year change. And do what?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, you're right.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, listen.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
This is what the people want, though, huh? You heard me, huh? This is what the people want when it comes to baseball.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, they want.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They want. They want. They want. They want. They want home runs. They want dingers.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And they getting dingers.
Shannon Sharpe
Early chicks dig the long ball.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Hey, they love it. They love it, Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
That's with anything in football, what do they want? Points. In basketball, what do they want? Points.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Baseball. They want home runs. Those purest games, Ocho, where it's a one nothing or two one. Nobody want that. Those games worth 10, 7 in football. Ain't nobody trying to see that, right? 35, 31. Somebody walk it off.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I remember them days, man. I remember them days. Them good days. My, but my baseball days.
Shannon Sharpe
Keep it going, Yankees. Keep it going, Ocho. The Malice in The Palace, Part 2. Did you see the fight earlier tonight? Fight broke out between the Timberwolves Pistons. Naz Reed and Juan Holland exchanged words, leading to a scrapping between almost everyone in the court. Yeah, seven players were ejected. Who was ejected? Who was. Do we know who ejected?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I wouldn't.
Shannon Sharpe
I guarantee you. Isaiah Stewart got ejected. You heard me, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I wouldn't equate this to the Malice in the Palace. That's.
Shannon Sharpe
That's Head coaches even got into it, okay? You had Holland, Isaiah Stewart, Marcus Sasser, head coach J.B. bickerstaff were ejected on Detroit side. Naz Reed, Dante DiVincenzio, Pablo Priggioni from the Wolves were also tossed. Damn. Coach Squabbing.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I ain't see no. I ain't see no punches or nothing. I just see a little tussling, you know, a little wrestling. Now, Malice in the palace, that was Royal Rumble. Yeah, I mean, punches going everywhere. I mean, listen. I wonder. I wonder. Wonder what started that. That had to be a constant buildup throughout that game.
Shannon Sharpe
Damn.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, get off me, boy.
Shannon Sharpe
Man, Adam Silver ain't gonna like this. Adam Silver say, hey, the Raiders are down, but we don't want to get them back like this.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, but listen, something like that, even as small as it may. It might have been little fisticuffs, but that'll get some. That'll get some viewership now.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, they call some dollars out your pocket. David Stern cleaned that bull job up. I don't know you before your time, but the 70s, O Joe, in the 80s, early 80s, they squab I mean, they think it wasn't no pushing and shoving. They were throwing things. They let the ads go. Yeah. David St. Said, oh, no, ain't no more. Ain't no more. And see, after the malice of the palace, when David Stern put that. Put that pain on metal world peace, I think Stephen Jackson got fined, got suspended. Jermaine O'Neill, Jermaine O'Neal. I think they ended up. Big Ben Wallace got suspended. Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
So they made it so cost prohibitive, Ocho, they suspect. I mean, Ronald Chess got suspended 56 games. That's damn near the whole check. You making 10, $12 million. That's gone. I ain't trying to game. Hey, I catch your ass in the off season, bro. Hey, hey, Ocho. Hey, I catch you in Aussie, and you better have a pamph on, because when I see, I'm gonna slap the at you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, that's. That's crazy.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Hey, make sure you got some baby wipes. Yeah, we got this, dude. Hey, where did I read at? Oh, we're read, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You said, baby, you talk about dude?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I said. No, I'm just saying, you know. Oh, hey, I can't get. I can't give him that kind of money, Ocho. And that's why, you see, guys, they making 50, 60 million, and they. Somebody, hey, I'd have punched him. No, you wouldn't. And lose $40 million. Can you punch somebody, y'all? Hey, if you want to. You want to make. Give up $40 million, you need to go to boxing. Bud is available. Benavidez, you know, better be up somebody like that. I ain't punching nobody for no $40 million. They had their damn mind.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Nuh. At all.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, it's. It's. It sounds good in theory, but like I say, guys just go, you know, look, you shove somebody, you know, your guy gonna run grab you, their guy gonna run grab him. Ain't nobody really tried to wallow. Yeah, and I ain't trying to give him that kind of money.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Just. Hey, just a little tussling, that's all. No, no. No big deal.
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, no.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No big deal. No punches thrown, nobody injured, nobody hurt. All this fair and love and war, man, tensions got a little high sometimes. That's what it comes to.
Shannon Sharpe
It does. But I look, when they say Detroit, I already knew Isaiah Stewart was going to be a part of it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He. He be. He be in the mix, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Everyone. Every time. There's not one incident that has happened in Detroit since he's been there.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He hadn't been a part of getting part of it.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, they call him Beef Stu.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He didn't force it in.
Shannon Sharpe
Yep. He go. He's gonna be a part of it.

Brendan Patrick Hughes
My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans?
Brendan Patrick Hughes
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the God damnedest love story you've ever heard.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.
Shannon Sharpe
I couldn't believe it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Brendan Patrick Hughes

Shannon Sharpe
DDG says he spent 15,000 on a designer bag for a girl but won't cover her rent. He said, I'd rather buy a girl a $15,000 designer bag but wouldn't give her 2,000 to pay her rent. He said, a girl asked me to pay her rent. I probably never talk to her again after that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, listen, I mean, if the girl is smart, right? If you buy a $15,000 bag, you know what she can do with that bag, right?
Shannon Sharpe
No. Tell me that. Don't buy me no bag. Tell me you give me the money.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, it don't make no sense. He already said he ain't paying the rent. So if he buy you that bag, ain't no point of walking around with a 15,000. $15,000 bag and you got no money in it.
Shannon Sharpe
Selling it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, bingo. That's. That's. That was my whole point. That's what I was getting ready to.
Shannon Sharpe
Say, but see, Ocho, that's why I like to ask people what they want. Oh, I really like the bag, but okay. Can you. Boom.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
You know, Biggie, you're not getting both. You ain't getting both.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You got to pick and choose. Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Pick one, pick. I don't care.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
One or the other.
Shannon Sharpe
One or the other.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Whatever it is. That's why I like to ask people what they want. Because I want to give you. I want you to have what you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Want, exactly what you want.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes. And at the end of the day, on your left. I've never, like. I've been in relationships and I give somebody something, I've never asked for it back. Didn't ask for it back. Man, what she gonna. I don't care. She went. She ain't. What I'm gonna do. What I'm gonna do with the bag, get into my sister.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
Shannon Sharpe
No, now I have. Was potentially going to give somebody a bag.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right?
Shannon Sharpe
But it did, you know, I ended up.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, you really. Hold on. That is a great topic. If you do buy something for somebody specifically for that individual and you know it's something that they like, if they mess up before receiving it. You're not gonna give it to em?
Shannon Sharpe
Hell no. It'll be a damn fool too.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Damn.
Shannon Sharpe
If you buy something. If you buy something for a young lady and she behaves in a manner that. That's undeserving of said things. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hold on. I don't reward bad behavior.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. You're not gonna give her the bag. Right?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay. Okay. Yeah, I was just. I was just. I was just curious how your angle, you know, I was curious what you do because you're. You're a given person and you. You seem like you're a good dude. You seem like the type of dude that will give a woman grace if she messes up.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but I'm not. You not getting a bag.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay. Understandable.
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho said, dg. Ddg later said I'm an emotional trick to the point like, say I wake up in the morning. Now I like you fuck around and we wake up on some eggs. They ain't even gotta be good. Or say I leave the room and go downstairs and come back in the bed made. I might go ahead and go to Chanel for you. It's a little thing. Cause, you know, I don't get gifts. I don't get tricked on.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Who is this talking like this ddg.
Shannon Sharpe
You know, he had the baby with Haley Bailey, right? It's Haley.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, these little kids, man.
Shannon Sharpe
Is it Haley or Halle? Which one is it? Chat. Y'all know.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You heard me, huh? These little kids, man. They just.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. Halle Bailey.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, they. They little kids, man. They just. They doing what they. They doing what they do at that age.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, hell no. Make me know. You ain't getting no designer bag after that. You got to do more than that to get a designer bag up out of me.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay? Hey, ladies, you want to design a bag? Ask. What do you got, what you need to do.
Shannon Sharpe
You can't ask. You just got to do it. Because if you're doing it when you're doing what I ask you to do. No, figure it out.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, hold on, hold on. How they gonna know what to do if they don't ask you what it is you need them to do?
Shannon Sharpe
Figure it out.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You gotta ask what you want. See, now, there you go. You're being difficult. Don't be difficult, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Look, the one thing, once you get to a certain age, let's just say a young lady, she. Let's just say between the ages of 30 and 50, she know what a man like. She know what she need to do to make him happy.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, okay. Yeah, we know all minute. That's funny.
Shannon Sharpe

And this. This was one, two, three. What day was this? It was about three weeks ago.
Shannon Sharpe
Must be nice.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, it feels good to be appreciated. That's ain't hard. It ain't simple. I mean, for us, it's all about choosing who chooses you.
Shannon Sharpe
That's. That's what you got to do. And people like. Well, you don't like this. No, I like who like me. They like me. It's easy for me to like them because a lot of times when I like somebody, they ain't really feeling me like that. So I'm gonna see early on you if you like me.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It's so easy. I'm not. I'm not sure when we. When I hate. I hear women always say, I need. I need you to apply pressure. There should be no pleasure. There should be no pressure, no pressures that need to be applied. Everything should be reciprocated.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Like, it's such a. It's such a dumb game. I gotta prove to you. In order for me to prove to you that I like you, I gotta spend money to get you to like me back, bitch. Oh, my bad. What are we talking about?
Shannon Sharpe
I get out your. You ain't you preaching to the choir. You know how I feel.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Listen. You preaching. You listen.
Shannon Sharpe
That same time, that thing just, you know, how you dance. And somebody hit the. And hit the. The DJ table. When you was growing up, what happened? Did your chip say you bought three Chanel last week? George, go get that thing. And I just thought about that. I was like, hold on. Wait a minute, Chad. Y'all heard this man? This man told me. Yeah, hey, I went out there. Yeah, I went out. I bought three of them about three weeks ago. Oh, wait a minute, honey. This man owe me money, and he ain't paying my money off if he out there buying Chanel's.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And you know what's. And you know what's funny? You know what's funny? I forgot all about that money I owe you.

Yeah, I forgot about it. But listen, this is what we gonna do.
Shannon Sharpe

Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What we gonna do. Now, I know everybody in the chat. They've been here for a very long time. Ever since I lost that bet. I don't even remember why I owe you 5,200. You do. Listen to me. When I offered to pay you and I said, can you please find a method of payment and download the app on your phone? I said, paypal. I said, zelle Venmo. Apple Pay or cash app. You chose not to do any of the above, and now you still complain about not getting your money. When I offered many times okay.
Shannon Sharpe
You know what? I know I can get it. What about. What If I take 3200 out of the nightcap check? I mean.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson

Matter of fact, hold on. I ain't use your money. I use some other money. That ain't had nothing to do with that one. No, that wasn't no nightcap funding.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, how about you. How about you use some of your money to give me my money, right? I don't care what I told you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I told you. I told you. As long as I owe you, you're never being. You're never being in no issues.

Brendan Patrick Hughes
My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their.
Brendan Patrick Hughes
Neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the God damnedest love story you've ever heard.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.
Shannon Sharpe
I couldn't believe it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, Brendan it was divine intervention.
Brendan Patrick Hughes
Listen to Divine intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Ocho. All right, Ocho. Time for our final segment of the evening. Danny Little. Oh, it's time for Q and a. Q A.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Let me use the bathroom real quick. Hold on.
Shannon Sharpe
Danny Little. John said. Ungonocho. Is it fair for the Memphis Grizzly fired their coach similar to Bucks fired Adrian Griffin? At the time, both teams were top four. Fair or not, I mean, the expectations were the Memphis Grizzlies were going to be better than what they are now. You read the reports that said Ja wasn't happy with the offense. Ja was kind of nicked. He had a hamstring injury, had a shoulder injury. Remember last year he had a nick. Missed some time with the. A couple of years ago with the gun stuff. And so it's kind of been, you know, their best player hadn't been there a whole lot, and they haven't been where a lot of people thought they were going to be. So whether it's fair or not, teams are not giving people a whole lot. Joe, then you got to win. You got to win.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Now, wait, what are we talking about? What are we talking about?
Shannon Sharpe
The Memphis Grizzlies fired the head coach, and they were the fifth seed last year. Got fired. And there were. Well, I think they were like three or three or four.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right, right. You got, you got, you got, you got. Listen, basketball. That's not fair, man. That's not fair. How many years did they give him to turn things around, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, they got to get.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They got to give coaches grace. And regardless of sport, you understand what you have. But one, it's hard to attract people to come to Memphis in the first place.
Shannon Sharpe
True.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Let's. Let's start there. You know, you got to give coaches grace. You knew you weren't going to win no games based on your roster and what you got, no coach is going to be able to come there and change the outcome of that because the players are still going to be the same. So you bring a new coach in, what the hell's supposed to change next? It's going to be the same thing. He's not going to win either. What you going to give him another two years, three, then let him go. And the cycle continues to repeat itself.
Shannon Sharpe
Their success is predicated on Ja. Ja being able to stay healthy. And it's hard because he's a hot flyer and he's not that big.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
So he's up in the air and he's hitting that floor. But I think the thing is that, yeah, I don't agree with that decision because I thought he was a really good coach. But they're not getting the results and they're looking at like, hey, Houston, young team, up and coming. The average age of the OKC's thunder is 24, is less than 25 years old. So they say we need to get somebody in here that we feel that can get us done and get us over the hump. So Taylor is out. Taylor Jenkins is out. Tyron said, what's up, Uncle Nocho? Which team is the man's final four with a national championship mean more to probably Houston or Auburn. Florida's one two. They won back to back. Duke has won what, five?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Five. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Houston is trying to get the one that they lost on that last second put back at NC State in 83 when I think it was Wittenberg that shot the shot and then Lorenzo Charles dunked it with no time on the clock and beat him. And then they lost again in 84 to Georgetown. So I would probably say Houston, Auburn, Florida, Duke. But Duke said, hey, Shire, first chance. I mean, this is only what, his second year. I think it's second year, second year being head coach and he's already in the Final Four. Nate B. Said it can be Fantastic for Connect 4. Four Horsemen, a figure four leg lock. It doesn't matter. Oh, say Duke in the final four. No. Dr. Frank L. Bellamy said, since you're doing work to prepare for your future wife, OO says you're marrying somebody soon. I gotta ask, what are your top three songs and artists that absolutely have to be played at your wedding reception? Michelle and Deggy Ocello. Maxwell Sade.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Case. Happily Ever after from. I think. Did I say that right? Is it Happily ever after? Brian McKnight. I can't. What song was the Brian McKnight saying on Martin when he proposed? When he proposed to Gina? I can't remember what song it was he sang. Well, that song, Happily Ever after by case Brad McKnight song. And the third one. Oh, you know what? And I'm mad. I ain't heard the songs in 94 that I heard the other night. And it's really not a wedding song. But it's so fitting though. That's so fine for men condition. Oh my. Just. Just to be able to hear that again after so many years of not hearing it. And the first thing I thought. And I even went up to the dj. I don't even drink alcohol. I went up to the DJ and asked, dj, why don't they make music like this anymore? This is R B, no chat. If you if old, listen to the song by Mint Condition, so fine. And turn the radio up loud. That's real music. The drum, the guitar, the bass, all the. Oh, man. Remember, they remember they song. Keep you Keep it swinging. Keep me swinging. Main Condition.
Shannon Sharpe
I like Men Condition. But like you said, you love to talk about those 90s grooves. Those early. Those late 80s, early 90s. They don't make it like that. They ain't singing like that. First of all, the group. You're not gonna get groups anymore because you gotta split the money three, four ways. So everybody wants to be single. Cause if I'm gonna get 100,000, I ain't trying to split it four ways. I'm trying to keep all for myself. So that's why the likelihood of you seeing groups. It ain't gonna happen. No, Joe, it's not gonna happen. And for the most part, if the guy is really good, can sing, you know, he gonna leave. You know Teddy Pendergrass when he was at Harold Mellon. The Blue Notes, he left. Jeffrey Osborne when he was at ltd. Or you go back and look at. Go. I mean, just Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake. Yeah, yeah, go back and look. I mean, just go back and study. Diana Ross.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, the Supremes. Yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, bro, splitting it three ways. Splitting it four ways. Splitting it six ways. Everybody in New Edition. Bobby went solo. Ralph Transvan went solo. The others performed bell bib, DeVoe. That's just the way it is, Ocho. The days of groups. I don't think we'll ever see another group. Even Destiny's Child. Beyonce.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, you know. You know what's funny is there's always the lead singer that goes solo. Because I'm assuming, are they, what, the most talented? They have the best voice, they have the most range.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, well, if you think about it, Ralph did a lot of the song lead on most songs. Ralph Transfer.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Sting of the Police, Peter Gabriel with Genesis. And then Phil Collins went. Phil originally was the drums. Yeah. Peter Gabriel was the original lead singer.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay, okay, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
And then Phil Collins. And then Phil went.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Oh, that's crazy how that works.
Shannon Sharpe
Jamal. The singer said, what's up? Oh, Joe, quick question. What's scarier? Steph Curry on a hot streak? Calvin Johnson in Single coverage or offering time with Marvin Sapp in the church? Ocho. People got mad at us, guys.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
All I'm saying is, why they mad at us?
Shannon Sharpe
Because you don't understand churches. Okay, fine. But I'm not gonna let somebody tell me what I should give. I will give what I want to give. Nobody's gonna tell me, give me $20, give me $40. I might, you know, I might not give nothing this time and the next time give a thousand, but you not gonna dictate what I give when I give it. Plus and plus. I might just hold on all my money and don't give nothing. And then when I see God, I say, I was saving it for you. You know I was saving it for you. I wanted to see you myself and turn it over to you. Here's all my tithe.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey. God said God loved the cheerful giver.
Shannon Sharpe
A cheerful giver. If I'm you telling me what I should. And close the door. I say close the door. I say closing doors. When I said Malachi, I said, it's a. He's talking about, literally, you can't rob God. He said, you're robbing me in tithe and offering when you don't offer, when you don't tithe. I understand, but that's the. Hold on. He understands that sometime in some situation, you're not able to give 10%.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right?
Shannon Sharpe
But I don't know how you fly in the private jet that I can't get on, you riding the Rolls Royce or a Bentley that I can't get in.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Wait, I just.
Shannon Sharpe
When people be sick in the church and they can't get no money, they can't get nothing. And you don't go by and see all the members, just the members that let me. Please.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Don'T, don't, don't do it.
Shannon Sharpe
I know it's all nightcap. I finally did it. After three years, eight marathons of coming up short, I finally hit my goal sub 240 on Saturday. I ran 2. 39, 24. I was locked in training, but tune in on long runs. You guys got me through trainings. Tough training sessions. Patterson, Congratulations.
