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. 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 fresh. There's a reason it's it's the number one men's antiperspirant and is back in Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about.

Ryan Seacrest
Jon Jones called us last night and retired.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Jon Jones was officially retired.
Shannon Sharpe
Tom Aspinall is the heavyweight champion of the UFC.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Really? That simple? He said Jon Jones called him last night and said he was officially retired. He says, okay, Jon Jones is officially retired. Tom Aspinall is now the new heavyweight champion of the UFC.
Shannon Sharpe
Damn.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I think John's what, 37, 38? He was the youngest. He was the youngest UFC heavyweight champion at 21. He's 37. In my book, he's the greatest UFC fighter in history. I know. Look, I know GSP George St. Pierre was phenomenal. Anderson Silva was phenomenal. Mighty Mouse Demetrius Johnson was phenomenal. But when the totality of it and the guys in which he beat.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Hey, I don't think anybody will argue that. I don't think anybody that, that. That is a fan of combat sports or just a casual fan in general will argue that Jon Jones is the greatest UFC fighter of all time. There's no way you can argue better. He had a great career, a great, great career. I'm sad to see him go. There's somebody that was talking trash. I can't think of their name. And the video from a year ago just came, came about that said, I'm gonna get Jon Jones to retire without him fighting.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That was Aspinall. He said that on Hawani.
Shannon Sharpe
You know what's funny is, I think at some point, I think knowing Jon Jones, knowing the competitor that he is, I think he gonna come back for one more fight. I think he gonna come back for one more fight just to put that young. That young individual that thinks he really wants that smoke.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
To give him exactly what he want. I. I can feel it. I can feel it, because every time a fighter says he's retiring, what's the one thing they come back and do fight with the money? The money gonna be right. I guarantee you. Watch. Book it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. I mean, Bones, man, he has no weakness. He could wrestle, he could strike, he could submit you. He was good on his feet. He was good. He was good on the ground. I mean, he's phenomenal. The. The matches that he had with Cromier, Gustafson, Lito Machida. I mean, hey, like I said, look, I don't follow it as much as I used to, but. And I know. I understand UFC. I know George St. Pierre, and I know Mighty Miles, Demetrius Johnson, and I know Anderson Silva. They had great runs. Nothing like this.
Shannon Sharpe
No.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Nothing like this, no.
Shannon Sharpe
At least his longevity. His longevity is that of LeBron James. I'm not comparing one years. I'm just in for combat sports in an octagon. That type of longevity. Longevity and being successful at it in.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The fight game, they don't have no long runs like this. O In the fight with anything.
Shannon Sharpe
He had a 20 win, a 20 win fight streak. Now a 20 win fight streak. You know how difficult that is in combat sports, MMA for that matter.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, think about it, how he ran through serial G in the heavyweight division, made miss meet a Stipe. Now, I know Stipe was a little older. He and Daniel Crier had had tremendous fights. But babe, man.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, that's crazy. Hey, shoot, man. This might be is, you know who f to get that work, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
N. You don't want that kind of work. Oo I ain't tell.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't there. I'm not.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, that, that, that, that cage, that cage this different than that square.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I, I feel you. I'm telling, I'm about. But. Well, I ain't heard from James Harrison in a minute. He doing all right? You talk to him?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, he doing fine.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. I'm just making sure he good, man. I hope he working. I've been, I've been working.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You know, Jim said, you know, Jim was saying something very interesting about and, and, and about with Nas. Say Nas, he got that 100 million. Yeah. I mean, look at Hov Ho you don't see Hov in the booth all the time. It's gotta mean something to him. When you get that kind of money, you. I mean, I would like to thank you. Trying to like get to a certain level, right. And now it's gotta, it's gotta really, I mean it's gotta really move. I mean, Hov ain't just getting in the could he do. He got his start with music, but you know, hold for so many other things other than music business.
Shannon Sharpe
He's a businessman.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
A businessman?
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So Nas, the investments. You read about the investments that Nas has made and like the desire to get in there and probably get into the studio, it probably doesn't exciting like it was dead. And that's okay. It's okay.
Shannon Sharpe
And the funny thing about it, if Jay Z is one of those individuals, despite today's hip hop.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
In the sound of it, I think he can still come out and be successful. I think the one thing that's important because he's so good lyrically and he's a lyricist. The one thing that has to be very, very important, just hypothetically speaking, if Jay Z was to make album now, is the beat. The beats. The beats have to be captivated for today's sound.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Me personally, I think now he don't really have. He don't really have the desire to do a full album, he would prefer to jump on somebody else's. Like when DJ Khaled got him. Wayne and Ross. I think he's more apt to do something like that. Ocho as a problem as opposed to his own project. Maybe if Weezer say, hey bro, I need you on this track, something like that. But for him to just to take the time to get into the studio all on his own, I don't see that in him. And it's like Conor McGregor, once he had that fight, think about it, once he had that fight with Floyd Mayweather and he got 100 million, all of a sudden getting up and getting kicked in the face and getting elbowed in the head didn't seem appealing. He ain't really fought much and he didn't win a whole lot since.
Shannon Sharpe
And the funny thing about it is his businesses outside of the oxygongal. Well, he doesn't even need to come back and fight. He still, he still trains his ass off as if he's ready to fight. I'm not sure what's going on with that, but he's one of the greatest fighters of all time in being able to transition, in turning going from the Octagon to business into millions.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's why, you know, I take my hat off to Floyd Mayweather, because even though he was making 20 and 30 million a fight, he still trained like he was broke. And that's what I say that about Florida and I say that, but I say that about any athlete. You look at Lebron, you look at Brady, you look at Manning, you look at these guys, Jordan, Kobe, guys that's making millions, millions. I mean, you see the work now and you see the way they still go about it and they play and they train as if they were flat ass broke. Be it Ronaldo or Messi or Mbappe or Harlem. I mean, we talk about LeBron, but you look at Mahomes, look at Lamar Jackson, look at these guys that's making millions and they still like, bro, they, they, they, they train and they play as if they're broke, like they're trying, like they're trying to get in. And this is a, the ufc, that's a very unforgiving sport because you don't see guys, you know, hold on the belts for years and years and years because Dana White won't let you duck anybody. You don't chair, you don't cherry pick, they tell you who the hell you gonna fight. So it's not like in that division, like, nah, I'm gonna fight the number 10 contender. I'm gonna fight the number eight. Nah, Dana said you're gonna fight the number one contender, you're gonna fight the number two contender, right? That's why people, I think, really love the UFC is because ain't no ducking and dodging it. Ain't no, ain't no selection, you ain't picking nobody. Oh, I can beat him. Yeah. And Dana and his board, they know, nah, bro, you gonna get in here. And I give John credit. I mean, you know, people gonna say, well, he retired cause he didn't fight Aspinall. But I know for about a almost two decades, he fought everybody they put in front of him. Everybody they put in front of him, from Gustafson to Cormier to Sugar, all of them, it didn't matter.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, one thing about it is I've always hated, I've heard, always heard the gripes, I've always heard the rumblings about the pay in UFC not being that great, not being what it should be for, for what these, these guys are doing and putting their bodies and lives on the line every time they step in Octagon. But I'm telling you, mark my words, Jim Jones book. I mean, Jim Jones, not John. John Jones will come back and fight again against. What's his name again, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
John Bone Jones.
Shannon Sharpe
Yo, I know that, but what's the guy that said he was going to retire?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Tom Aspinall, brother.
Shannon Sharpe
Aspinall is going to get that fight he looking for. And Dana White's going to make it a payday. He's gonna make it a payday for Jon Jones to come out of retirement so that fight can happen. It's gonna be a, it's gonna be a mega fight. I'm guarant. Absolutely, absolutely. One last hurrah. One last hoorah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. I mean, who would you say? I mean, the guy's done done everything. I mean, what more? I mean, he a two division champ, light heavy and heavyweight. He dominated that division. I mean, I mean, people can say, well, Reyes beat him or this guy or that guy. Look, all I know is that he lost the fight, but he was disqualified because I think he elbowed somebody when they was down or he did something. But as far as like they beat him on the scorecards or something like that, without the dq, that's never happened.
Shannon Sharpe
Right.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He's special. Like I said, the most complete fighter, because he has no weakness, he can do it all. He could wrestle you, he could strike you on his feet, he could submit you, he was great on the ground. He was, I mean, he was an all around fighter, had great defense and when he needed to dig deep, he could dig deep. He could dig. He could absolutely dig deep. And there's, there's a reason why, Dana, when they say, well, who's the, the greatest fighter in ufc, there's no hesitation. Jon Jones. Most complete fighter. Jon Jones. And GSP Special. You know, Usman had a great run. Gsp, like I said, Anderson, Silver, there have been some guys that had 10, you know, 10, 13 match win streaks. I like John. No, he's just, he's phenomenal.
Shannon Sharpe
That, that 20, that 20, 20 fight win streak is going, it's going to stand, it's going to stand for a while. It's going to stand for a while.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Special, special fighter. But breaking news, Dana White announces that Jon Jones called, phoned him last night and said he was officially retiring from the, the ufc. And in that motion, Dana White did the only thing that he could do, declare Tom Aspinall the UFC Heavyweight champion. So, and, and like I said, Johnny probably only fought what, two times in the last three years. I mean, he beat Cyril Gone and he beat Stipe, but those fights was probably a year, you know, 380, 400 days apart. So he hadn't fought a whole lot in the last three to four years. But that just goes to show you just how great he is. Think about that, Ocho, the amount of time that he took off and he ran through Cyril Gone.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he did, he did.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And then he did a spinning back kick to deliver of, of Stipe and got him out of there.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And many believe Stipe is the greatest heavyweight champion ever. And he made mincemeat of it. Legend. Well, we can also say he went out on top.
Shannon Sharpe
He did, he did. And he gonna do what every other fighter has done. I'm telling you, I'm retiring a little bit down the line. I'm coming back.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
All right. Does Mike McCarthy deserve way more respect? We look at Mike McCarthy and Mike Tomlin, we're going to put the graph up there. Ocho. Both have coached 18 season, both have 12 playoff appearances. Eight division titles for McCarthy, seven for Tomlin. 1111 playoff record for McCarthy, eight and 11 playoff record for Tomlinson.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, it's funny, it's funny when you put that graphic up there, put that graphic up there like that. Most of McCarthy success was where? Over there. Over there in Green Bay. Yeah, over there.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Probably win what he won like two, two titles or two division titles in Green Bay.
Shannon Sharpe
But obviously it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough what he was able to do in Green Bay. It didn't transition over in Dallas the way it should have.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, bro.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, you didn't have number 12 either.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, he coached Brett Favre too. So he had. He coached guys. That one, you know. Well, at the time that he coached him, they won five MVPs.
Shannon Sharpe
Right?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, he didn't want all he did. He coached Brett Favre. But Brett won those MVPs under HomeGrid. But he had them. He did coach Brett Favre. He did Coach Aaron Rodgers. Two MVPs, won a Super bowl with him. He just. I just think he underachieved. I mean, because he had some really good teams at. At. At Dallas, and for whatever reason, they couldn't get past the divisional round of the playoffs. They. They flamed out his first year there. They had the best, had the number one seed, and Green Bay came in and beat him. As a matter of fact, Green Bay, it beat him four, three times.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Damn, that defense. That defense let him down every time. Every time. Hi, Zoe Saldana. Welcome to T Mobile. Here's your new iPhone 16 Pro on us.

VGW Group void where prohibited by law. 21/ Terms and Conditions apply. Titans cornerback Jarvis Brownlee takes shot at coach quarterback Anthony Richardson. Responding to a video of Richardson rapping, Brownlee tweeted, ending on the clock for this B.S. aFC got I guess, I guess he rapped while he was at the University of Florida. He had a name and everything. I don't know anything about it.
Shannon Sharpe
Like I said, I didn't know anything about that either.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, he just released the rap video Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh he did?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, I'm gonna listen. Ain't nothing wrong with that, you know. You know, ain't nothing wrong with that. Now, now listen, when you have other hobbies that you like to do, you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Better be good at the main the thing they pay you for.
Shannon Sharpe
How was I just getting ready to say that? But hey, you took the words right out of my mouth. You took the words right out my mouth. Now they got Brother Daniel Jones over there, right? You hear me? They got Brother Daniel Jones over there who they just paid $14 million for one year. Most of the time. Now you got a player that is making way More than you. And you supposed to be the starter, which lets me know you need to be on your P's and Q's, all your ads need to be dotted and all your T's need to be crossed. This is the make it break a year for Anthony Richardson.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Absolutely.
Shannon Sharpe
This is the make it break a year.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Anthony Richardson goes by the name gvo, which stands for Gainesville Own. He released a song called Villain.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ain't nothing wrong with the villain. You know, the villain, the villain make history.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Like I said, you can have a lot of hobbies, but the thing that you get paid for, you better be good at that.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. At all times. And that go for everybody in the chat. Whatever you decide to do outside of your. Your job, you got to keep the main thing. The main thing. The main thing, main thing. The main thing at all times.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Because you know, sometimes like guys, you got to realize, bro, you a football player. You keep on thinking you're a celebrity. You not, you're not in no movies, you're not in no TV shows. You ain't got none of that. You are a football player.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, hey, you know, one thing they will do, one thing they do. And one of the problems that I do have with, with this era in, in players having social media, they more focused on their brands. They focus on their brands first before it come time to play, you know, play football. Your brand, take care of yourself. You handle your business in between them white lines and that green grass.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
The brand is. You have itself. You want to maximize, you want to maximize your potential off the field. Cut a fool on it. Watch what happened.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's how you, that's how it works. But I, look, I just want a young man. I think he has some talent.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You know, he has a great arm, but he needs to take it a little bit more serious. He need to work on his craft. But it was hard to, you know, you look at his, you know, six, four and a half, six, five, two, 40. Could run like he could run. Had the arm talent. But it's more to this being a physical specimen. Ocho quarterback is a lot more than that. That he could be the least athletic guy. And they mostly tie them off. Now obviously, you know, they're the situation where you get a Lamar. Right. But for the most part here and here, what you got.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. And the funny thing about it is you heard what you just said. It was very interesting what you just said. The most non athletic guy, most of the time they have to work extra, extra. Hard in other areas.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yep.
Shannon Sharpe
To make up for what they lack in athleticism, in speed, they got to beat you here.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yep.
Shannon Sharpe
And with the arm, as opposed to.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Everything else, guys that have the most. Think about guys that have the most passing yards. Brady, he ain't got no big arm. Drew Reese ain't got no big arm. Peyton Manning ain't got no big arm.
Shannon Sharpe
It can't run worth a Damn.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Nope. Nope. LeBron debuts his limited edition Richard Millennial. Ocho, you getting one of the LeBron's Richard Mill.
Shannon Sharpe
Let me see. Let me see. Let me see what that thing look like. Let me see. Let me see what that thing look like. Nah, that's too big. That's too big. I like the RM7101.72. 7201.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It looked like it got his. If I'm not mistaken, look, I guess got his king logo, his crown.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It's a nice piece.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I think he said. I think I saw. He said it was one of 150. Because I know they did. They did some things. They did. They got one. A collab with Travis Scott, the Cactus Jack one with the strap. I think they did. Bubba Watson did one. I think Raphael Nadal. Right. Those are some of the guys that I think off the top of my head, I think they did a. I think another Formula one driver might have did a collab with him. I'm not sure. I mean, it's a nice piece.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, it is. It is. I am. I don't. I don't. Not. Not really a fan of the. The loud yellow, but. Yeah, I mean, it's cool. It's cool. I stick to. I stick to my RM6701. I like the thin. Thin. Very, very thin. Look like you ain't really wearing nothing.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ocho, you said, I met DeAndre Jordan today. I'm not as tall as I thought I was, and that was quite upsetting. Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Damn, man. You on your tiptoes, and you still barely to the man chin.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't on my tiptoes.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
There you are. I can see him. You know, we can see down at the bottom, right?
Shannon Sharpe
I'm. I'm out of my. I'm on.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, you're on your tiptoes.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, no, no, I'm not on my. That's the way the floor. That's the way the floor is on.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, I know.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, that's the way the floor is. It just looked like that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Why? His feet ain't like that.
Shannon Sharpe
He got on Socks don't he.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He got on. Yeah, he got on flats. You're on your tiptoes and you still.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, I'm right there. I'm about. I'm about six, five. How. How tall you think he is?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Like 6:10. God.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Hey, them boys. Him boy. Tall man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Let me talk for real bad. I said, you got a pick with Mello.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw Mellow. I saw his toes there.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Damn. Ocho be okay with your height.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't on toe.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I ain't.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, you are.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Mocho people can feed.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, no, no. That's the shoe. That's the whatchamacallit.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Why mellow shoes ain't like that.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, I don't think. He don't use them orthopedics.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You got a picture with Draymond? You're on your toes again.
Shannon Sharpe
No, I'm not. Me and Draymond the same height.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Go put up. Put a one up with Draymond.
Shannon Sharpe
Me and Draymond the same height.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Look. Hey, go down. Scroll down to his feet. Go pull that down. Look at her on your toes again. You done been on three different surfaces.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm not on my toe. It's the orthopedics.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, them orthopedic shoes.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Normally, orthopedics. Only one normally. People that got the orthopedic shoe that's on one foot, it ain't on both.
Shannon Sharpe
Of them or not. It's on mine. It's on both.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, you got that Mr. McAfee. He got that McAfee going on. Oh, hey, let me run. So tell the chat about. About Sports beach and Can.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, but anyway, anyway, chat. I had the opportunity to go to Sport beach, go to Cannes, Khan Cans, all the. All the big brands, the CMOs, the CEOs. I had the opportunity to speak on panels about. About branding, about marketing, how the Ocho Cinco name came about. It was very, very interesting, I think. I think the chat. You guys might. Might not even know the story where Ocho single came about, but I'm going to just tell you real quick. The name change happened. I think it was 2007, if I'm not mistaken. We were playing the Atlanta Falcons. Carson Palmer. Carson Palmer had this idea, you should change your last name. This is how it all started. The Ocho Cinco thing didn't come for me. Carson Palmer said it would be really funny if you change your name to Ochenta a Cinco because the month of September is Spanish Heritage Month in the NFL. I'm like, ah, that don't make no sense. And it doesn't fit the nameplate. The name was too long. So I was like, you know what? I went to my equipment man, who was Rob Wrecker at the time, and I told Rob to put the Velcro over to C. Johnson, and I'm going to put Ochocinko on there and go out in pregame warm up, warm up, and then have Carson rip it off before kickoff. Boom. I do it. I go out there with the Ocho Cinco before we play Michael Vic diamond right before kickoff, Carson Palmer rips the nameplate off. Boom. We go back to watch the film. Monday morning, I have a FedEx envelope in my locker. I got fined by the NFL. NFL fined me $50,000 for altering the NFL uniform. So what do I do? Like any other player, I appeal the fine. The NFL upheld the fine, so they took $50,000 out my check. So to piss the NFL off, I said, you know what? I'm gonna wait till the season end, and I'm gonna change my name on purpose as a F you to the NFL to piss them off. Now put that last name on all my jerseys, since she wanted to take my 50 grand. And that is how the brand and the marketing strategy behind Ojo Single came about. I didn't really, really think about it long term, and I didn't really have a vision like. Like it turned into now, but it was more a jab back to the NFL, and it turned into something big that is still going very, very well to this day. And I just want to thank. I want to thank Roger Goodell for pissing me, you know, for pissing me off.
