Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and Degree listened and that doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back.
Shannon Sharp
And it's exactly how you remember it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason why it's the number one men's antiperspirant and it's back in.

Jeremy Pargo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Real life. I've been looking for you, too. I've been looking for you, too. Cause you like to talk I like it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Let's say one thing about it. I ain't hard to find Now I can come. Where you at?
Jeremy Pargo
Hey, listen, Chad. We had an encounter in Miami at the stoplight. We just had to stop. Like, you tried to borrow my car. I told you, you can have whenever you wanted, actually. Whenever you wanted, actually.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Because I know you would bring it back. Oh, absolutely.
Shannon Sharp
Absolutely.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It's good to see you, boy.
Shannon Sharp
Let's talk about. There's a movie. You movie. A movie that you star in. You co wrote this film, the Final Play. The feature is about to debut. The Final Play is available today on all major digital and on demand platforms. We have a snippet of the film. Let's take a look at it right now.
Jeremy Pargo
Let's do it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Men love to be in control.
Shannon Sharp
See, that emoji got him thinking access granted.
Joe Johnson
Arms over, too.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I know men like Braylon boy chopped.
Joe Johnson
Up a. Yeah, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
When are you free? Don't be so available. Don't be so unavailable.
Joe Johnson
Man, tell his ass next month.
Shannon Sharp
Next month. So, Jeff, when did you start. When did you start thinking like, you know what? I want to get into the film industry? I want to write. I want to write scripts. I want to act, I want to direct. I want to be a part of this. What made you decide to say, you know what? This is part two. This is act two of my professional career.
Jeremy Pargo
My good friend, he plays Corey in the film. By the way, his name's Jarrod. He had me do something back in like, 2016. Something smaller than movie. And I'M like, man, I ain't no actor at all. He's like, now just come do it. So based on that, I ended up getting auditioned for Chicago pd, But I was overseas playing ball, couldn't do the audition. And to be honest, we athletes, we ain't got the confidence to walk in nobody audition room and think we about to read and get a role. So I was like, you know what? I'm gonna write something myself, and I'm just gonna surround this thing with a bunch of people that want to be involved in the film world that are also athletes or people trying to do things. So I wrote it that way, man. During the pandemic, I just sat down with note cards and just was writing, writing, writing. And about my sister, Valentina Barton, who was big on everything. She's a producer on the film. And this. This is what we got. And fortunately, I was able to get Joe to show up.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I had one question also. When it comes to writing, I'm a. I'm a movie head. I'm a buff. I'm an enthusiastic. When it comes to the art of acting in general, I can't produce, I can't write. I can't do none of that. I'm just. I love the finished product of it. I'm excited to check yours out. But when it comes. When it comes to writing, do you. Do you. Do you write from start to finish, or do you do it in parts separately?
Joe Johnson
Oh.
Jeremy Pargo
So I had a co writer on this because, like you said, I didn't like to write in school. I was a math guy. So when I started writing, I probably got maybe 30 pages out. And this was kind of easier to write because I was telling the story that I pretty much seen. I lived. Some of these come from a real place, and I think this is relatable to all of us athletes. So when I was able to get about 30 pages, I hired a co writer by the name of Barsha. And he came in and he helped me build this thing to where it is today. And next thing you know, we're at 90 pages.
Shannon Sharp
Wow.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look, one thing about me, I ain't gonna tell no lie to you. Cause it sound fly to you. Okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I gotta write that down.
Joe Johnson
Listen, listen, listen. It's a Roko, a romantic comedy, okay? You gonna laugh from start to finish and all of that. It's got some sentimental moments in there, you know, to where you may shed a tip, but it kind of puts you in the likes of, like a best man.
Shannon Sharp
Okay.
Joe Johnson
You know, Something like that. So it's, It's, It's. It's a hell of a movie, man. I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have did the 12 if I didn't think it was worth it. You know what I mean?
Shannon Sharp
Right? Yeah, yeah. If I'm not mistaken, I think you have an all female production team. How important was that for you to have an all female production team?
Jeremy Pargo
So coming into this thing, like I said, Valentina has been with me from jump. So my good friend Ernestine, Ernestine Morrison, she lives in Atlanta and we shot this in Atlanta. She's. She's connected. So we went through her for other actors and actresses. We went to locations and then to Leah Brian, who's another producer as well as director who led everything. She was amazing in terms of being a director and because this is the first thing I've ever done. So taking her guidance was, you know, like having a coach and just try to deliver what she did. And then it was. It was crazy, man, because these women knew what they wanted, they knew how to get it, and they were really bulldogs in making sure we got what we needed.
Shannon Sharp
So was it a situation? I mean, you say it comes from a very personal point of view. Did you always. Did you know what you wanted, the direction kind of that you wanted to go and you sit down and you sat down and talked to them and.
Joe Johnson
They said, this is kind of.
Shannon Sharp
This is kind of the direction that I see it in my head. Because what you see in your head and being able to put it down on paper might be entirely different. But having these women obviously enjoy. It's a romantic comedy and having women, point of view on one side of it to merge with your. What you. What your vision is and get that to come together.
Jeremy Pargo
So a lot of it was just like you said, what we experienced, some wants in there, what I desire. I just. I was watching you guys talk about marriage and all of those things. So those are things that I desire. So it was easy to find a way to work that into film and having leaders in my life that has gone down that path in terms of having long term relationships with women, like my brother, like Joe has always been great to see and continue to build in that aspect in a movie came together and I can't wait till you guys see it.
Joe Johnson
Okay. Ocho, his brother, Gennaro park, he's the assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers.
Shannon Sharp
Right? Okay. Yeah.
Joe Johnson
Me and his brother, Me and his older brother played college ball together at the University of Arkansas.
Shannon Sharp
Oh, okay.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
So that's. So that's how y' all know each other? Yeah.
Jeremy Pargo
Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
20 years strong.
Joe Johnson
Been a while. Been a long ride.
Shannon Sharp
Wow. So when. When a. When the. A family. When a guy and his gal or, you know, whomever goes and sit down and they watch this movie, you know, hey, they chilling at the crib because it's on all digital and streaming platforms. What. I mean, what just. Joe, you said. I think you said best man. I was thinking like hell, you know, par. Maybe it's love and basketball. I'm thinking something like. So what can the fans expect?
Jeremy Pargo
It's a piece of all of them, man. It's a hard story that comes from a real place. It's relatable. I wrote it with the hopes of starting conversations between men and women in terms of their relationships and building better relationships going forward. But every classic romantic comedy for our community that you can think of, it's a piece of it in there. Jones, the Wood is my favorite movie.
Shannon Sharp
Okay?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The Wood is classic.
Jeremy Pargo
That is my favorite movie. So when I was writing, I made that their connecting point. They both love the Wood and that's how they connected and built their relationship going forward. So man, anything you can think of. That was a black romantic comedy growing up. It was amazing. Like, no joke.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah. All right, go ahead, Ocho.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Please tell me I can watch this tonight when the show is over. Or do we have. Do we have to. We have to wait a little bit?
Jeremy Pargo
No, you ain't got to wait at all. You can put it on right now and have it running on your TV.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So you know you can't see it.
Shannon Sharp
Cause his TV not centered so you ain't gonna be able to see it. Cause his head blocking it now. I don't know how he got all that other stuff on the wall center. And then he got it. He got it obtruse on his damn wall. Well, I mean, who. And he got that. He got a. He got a 50 foot wall with a 12 inch TV. I got a TV in my back seat of my car. Bigger than that.
Jeremy Pargo
Look like you got the big back on the tv, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But you have to understand, this, this, this. This place here, it's about me being a min. Minimalist. It's about everything is all white. Everything white. So I don't need what they got.
Shannon Sharp
To do with that small ass tv.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Why would I? Because I want everything small. That's the whole point. I don't need that biggest room.
Jeremy Pargo
You can still center it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It is.
Shannon Sharp
It is not centered.
Joe Johnson
No, come on.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, because I can't say. The piano's over there.
Joe Johnson
So. Hold on.
Shannon Sharp
Are you watching TV in that room? If you got a room with a piano, you don't need to be watching TV in the room.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You not gonna tell me how to. How to do my decor? This is exactly how I designed it to be.
Shannon Sharp
That man bottled an iPad on his wall.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, hey, hey. Jay the funny, he telling me about Senator tv. My last name wasn't even spelled correctly.
Shannon Sharp
Who you talking about?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, I changed my last name to a number. You really think I care about my TV being centered?
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, clearly. Clearly not clearly. You got an iPad mounted. I mean, I guess you can just go over there and just plug it in.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Actually. Actually, that's a 60 inch. That is just that far.
Shannon Sharp
That is not no 60 inch TV.
Joe Johnson
How you gonna.
Jeremy Pargo
I bought it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I paid for.
Shannon Sharp
You mean six drop a zero.
Joe Johnson
Six.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't think you understand how far away that is. You know this.
Shannon Sharp
I don't give a damn. I don't give a damn if I'm looking at it from the moon.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hold on. Let me tell you something. You do understand, right? This is 15,000 square feet. So it would look.
Shannon Sharp
That wall ain't 15,000 square feet. I don't know.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, I'm trying to explain to you because you don't understand how big the establishment, I mean, is.
Shannon Sharp
I understand that, but that ain't got nothing to do with that small ass TV on that big ass wall. That's not centered.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, hey, Chad.
Jeremy Pargo
I think I can break down what Unc is saying. He's saying when you put the movie on the tv, make sure you push the couch a lot closer.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, no, no, I don' that, boy, that's. That's white alpaca. I don't see no mat. That's alpaca.
Jeremy Pargo
I don't own the kitchen.
Shannon Sharp
Why you put a t. Why you put a TV in the room that you don't sit at?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, it's just for aesthetics. When people. When people, normal people come here, when my baby walk in, when kids walk in, they know. Go straight to your room. Don't even sit. Don't even come down here.
Shannon Sharp
Well, they can't watch tv. Cable. One person at a time watch TV on that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Why you say that?
Joe Johnson

Jeremy Pargo
You ain't ever getting that money.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You ain't never getting that.
Shannon Sharp
Hey, I'm Tracking it. Hey, Joe, I'm going to there that white alpaca with some mud on these tims.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, no, no, no, no. I'm for real. Hey, you know, hey, Unc, this is. This is custom made, all white alpaca.
Shannon Sharp
I'm not Ocho. That TV is not centered. And that TV is not 60 inches. Now, I don't give a damn what they got. It could be ch.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Listen, I don't want to center because the piano is on the other side.
Shannon Sharp
Okay, I'll tell you what.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Let me finish.
Shannon Sharp
Go back. I tell you what. Go back there and do this with your hand. And I bet you cover the whole screen.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson

Shannon Sharp
Yep.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's the 60 inch. I got that from Walmart.
Shannon Sharp
Okay, go. I don't give a damn where you got it from. Go back there and do this with your hands. I guarantee you you'll block the screen.
Jeremy Pargo
Hey, Joe, he feeling the pressure.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
His eyes done got tightened up.
Joe Johnson
Damn.
Jeremy Pargo
Oh, yeah, that's about 60.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
Cause the chair.
Shannon Sharp
What? God. Why are you watching it from outside? He gotta drive in, but damn. Won't you just open the door and let the neighbors watch?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You saw how big that was? You see what I'm talking about?
Shannon Sharp
You see how far it is?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. I just told you how big the house is. You're not listening.
Shannon Sharp
So why don't you just open the door and just charge $5 and let your neighbors watch TV?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, no, no, no. My neighbor. I don't even have neighbors. The next house is like two miles down. But I'm in a castle.
Shannon Sharp
What they got to do with you having that TV centered?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't want it centered because I want it exactly how they. Cause the piano's on that side. It's a stairwell. You see the stair? You can't. You see the stairwell? I can't.
Shannon Sharp
I can't center it, but yes.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, let me. Let me do this.

Shannon Sharp
Oh, Jojo, come on, Joe.
Joe Johnson
I'm just saying. I'm just saying, you know, I jumped in this thing. Listen, 2019 was a. Was probably my toughest year in life. I lost my mother. 2019 due to cancer. And if it wasn't for his brother Gennaro, I probably wouldn't have played in the Big three.
Shannon Sharp
Wow.
Joe Johnson
I just. Really mentally, I just wasn't there. And he talked me into playing. He was like, man, just come out here and have some fun on the weekend and, you know, during the week, you know, we'll work out. And it just kind of, you know, worked out for you. Yeah, it just kind of clicked. So ever since. Not just been going, yeah, wow. But, yeah, it's time. It's time we. It's time for us to get back to the mountaintop, baby.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Wow.
Joe Johnson

So you think this. You think this is going to be the toughest year to win a championship because of the. Because of the parody that's in the league, probably.
Joe Johnson
So, you know, we. We gotta. We. We got a pretty good roster ourselves, you know what I mean?
Shannon Sharp

Shannon Sharp
I don't know.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
When I gave Tracy McGrady 12. I gave him 12. And he got upset and he got frustrated. Yeah, that game got dropped 12 on him.
Jeremy Pargo
I only saw the clip. When you lost the ball out of bounds. I only saw that clip.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, yeah, that was after I already scored and he was frustrated, man.
Joe Johnson
Well, good and terrible.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
All right.
Jeremy Pargo

Jeremy Pargo
Appreciate your time, fellas.
Shannon Sharp
Peace.
Joe Johnson
All right, man.
Shannon Sharp
No problem.
Jeremy Pargo
Yep.
Joe Johnson
Ocho, Appreciate that, man. That was.
Shannon Sharp
No, no problem, bro.
Joe Johnson
Cool, man.
Shannon Sharp
Appreciate that. The Nuggets announced that Russell Westbrook had surgery to repair multiple ligament tears. Nothing. He is expected to resume full off season activity training this summer. Russ gave his own update saying this morning I'm undergoing surgery on my right hand to fix two breaks that happened during the season. I'm grateful for everyone's support all year and I can't wait to be back out there 100% soon. The comeback is already in motion. Hashtag, why not? Now knowing that he had damaged ligaments in his hand, does that change? That was, you know, look, we know the roller coaster Russ is going to be on. He gonna make some great plays. He's gonna give you hustle, he's gonna rebound, he's gonna turn the ball over, he's gonna miss some shots. But does that change anything about how we see Russ right now? Now knowing that he had this damage in his. In two breaks in his. In his right hand, his shooting hand?
Joe Johnson
Maybe to some degree. To some degree. You know, it could have bothered his shot.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
Okay. Ocho. When I was playing, I knocked. I knocked the ligament loose in my right wrist. This was like latter in my career, but it was in my right hand. And as a shooter now, I think I'm more of a shooter than Russ, you know, it bothers you and it has. They can guess it. You know what I mean? As you second guessing. So I can kind of see it. But I'm just happy they ain't a lower extremity.
Shannon Sharp
Right.
Joe Johnson
Due to his age and lower extremity. And I think he can ultimately, you know, get back to playing the game that he love at a high level.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah. Because you gotta realize he shoots the ball right handed. But Russ is left handed. Ocho.
Joe Johnson
What?
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, he writes with his left hand. He does everything. He does everything with his left hand except shoot a basketball. Same thing with LeBron.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, I'm gonna say I know LeBron like that.
Shannon Sharp
LeBron does everything with his left hand except shoot a basketball.
Joe Johnson
I think that's crazy.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You start like that very early, right? That nothing.
Joe Johnson
You. You.
Shannon Sharp
Okay.
Joe Johnson
Okay.
Shannon Sharp
Well, LeBron said. LeBron said, you know, being lefty, not a whole lot of people was lefty. Michael Jordan shot right handed, so he wanted to be like Mike. But the only thing that LeBron does with his right hand is shoot a basketball. Everything else is done with his left hand.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay?
Shannon Sharp
That's how I know that wasn't the ball that he gave you, because that's a right handed person that wrote that on that ball. LeBron is left handed.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, no, no.
Shannon Sharp
That.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
LeBron gave me that ball. It's just the view with you sitting at home looking at it from. From the. From the camera angle looking at me. Just like you thought that TV was small. You thought it was an iPad. See, that's the difference.
Joe Johnson
So when I.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
When I turn the ball to you, it looks like it's written with someone with a right hand, but it's really a left hand, left handed penmanship, I'm telling you. Notice I haven't had the ball with me the last few episodes, right? We talked about basketball.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Where's that now? I got it in glass, in the casing.
Joe Johnson
You gotta stop it, bro. What, are you gonna stop it? Hey, listen, we talk about accountability on here and all that, right?
Shannon Sharp
Right?
Joe Johnson
Look, you. Yeah. Hey, come on now. You got it. Come on.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I got it.
Joe Johnson
Okay. All right.

We get company on here. You go to line. Come on, now. Come on, man. Come on, come on. Come on now. You got to cut it out. You got to stop it. Hey, look, you talking about jumping the broom and all this and all that. Come on.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hold that. I ain't playing about that, boy. Hey, let me. Let me say, baby boy, you got me crying, Joe. You got me crying, boy. Hey, I'm gonna jump that broom, boy. You hear me? If I don't jump the broom, the broom gonna jump me. One to yellow, boy, you laughing, boy. I ain't playing about that, boy. I'm seeing. I'm seeing. It ain't coincidence. I'm seeing the.
Joe Johnson
The.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What's the word? How do I say it?
Shannon Sharp
What you see.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
All those. That jumped the broom. That finally. That found that. That find that foundation.
Shannon Sharp
That found that person. They found their foundation. Yes, that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That stability in how everything else seems to flow and go correctly in life after that. Oh, Joe. Boy, I need some of that, Joe.
Joe Johnson
You say you want to be a part of some of that?
Shannon Sharp
Cool.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, Joe. I need some of that, Joe. Hey, I tell you. Well, you got me over here crying.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Joe. Hey, hey, listen, man, I didn't. I'd have had my run, but I hung my jersey. I hung my jersey in the raffles. I done waved a white flag, Joe. Oh, man needs some of that, bro.
Joe Johnson
Because, see, the one thing you know, it, ain't nothing out here, man. Don't go and jump that broom, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson

Yeah.

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

Shannon Sharp
Carmelo Anthony is slated to be inducted into the Basketball hall of Fame as a member of the 2025 class later this year. When Mello takes his place in the hall of Fame, he wants Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson and Dwyane Wade to introduce him into the hall. My life is impacted by more than one person. I need three. What you thinking, Joe?
Joe Johnson
Hey look, I think, hey man, this will be probably one of the most gratifying moments for him to have those dudes induct him because I think they all in the hall, right?
Shannon Sharp
Absolutely.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. I mean, hey, why not? Those are some of his closest buddies, dudes he's, you know, kind of rolled the wave with. And you know, he should be able to kind of hand pick, you know, who he want. I know you want MJ to come in there and induct him too, so.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah. Cause you know, he was a Brand Jordan and he's been with Brand Jordan basically his whole career.
Joe Johnson
Like the face, the face of Brand Jordan.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah. Yep. Yeah.
Joe Johnson
He's probably one of the first guys to have his own signature shoe.
Shannon Sharp
Yep.
Joe Johnson
I know guys like Mike Bibby, Ray Allen was there when the brand first started, but guys who came in and really had their own signature shoe. I think Mello was the first one. Right? Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
I think Dwight Howard said he want three guys to walk him out too. I know he said Shaq. I forget the other two, but I think Dwight Howard mentioned that Ash should look. Look for that. Ash who? Dwight Howard said he wanted to walk him out.
Joe Johnson
Hey, look. And I'm. I'm happy for Dwight and Shaq too, you know, for. Yeah, you know, selling the differences, man, and, you know, being grown, man, man, we got to put away the childish ways. And, you know, I mean, obviously, you know, Dwight looked up to him. He had to.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
We all looked up to Shaq. You know what I mean? So I'm happy for those guys, man, getting inducted. This, you know, that's gonna be a memorable moment.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah. He said he wanted Dwight Howard said he wanted Shaq, Kareem and kg.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, that'd be a good one.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
You know what? Yeah, he didn't kind of have fuel with. You know, he had him. Him and KG had. They looked back and forth when we played, you know, him and him and Shaq kind of. So, you know, this. This is. This is pretty cool to kind of have things come full circle.
Shannon Sharp
Yep.
Joe Johnson
Dudes who you competed with, competed against and, you know, for them to induct him into the hall of Fame, I think that would be cool.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, that'd be awesome. Yeah. A.J. brown was crying, going on a roller coaster for the first time in his life. I would run a slant across the middle against Ray Lewis and Cam Chancellor before I ride another roller coaster. You roller coaster guy, Joe.
Joe Johnson
Hey, I be telling my lady when we be taking the kids to Disney World. Hey, look, them rides ain't made for nobody. Six, eight, six, seven. Like, I don't feel like I'd be strapped in tight enough.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe Johnson
And look, you go to seeing all these different stories about these people falling out. Hey, look, I'll be sitting right down there at the finish line when they done, I'll be here holding everybody bags. Yeah, I'll get off. I'm gonna be sitting right at the bottom.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, hey. I. I don't think A.J. brown really understands. He said two of the hardest hitters that played. He said Ray Lewis and Cam Chancellor. I guarantee you, if you played in that era with that, with the Legion of Boom and Cam chance of coming downhill on you or. Or Ray caught you on one of them slants, you gonna choose that roller coaster instead?
Shannon Sharp
No, just like, he wouldn't run that. He didn't want to ride that roller coaster again. He ain't gonna run and run that slant again. And, you know, now. Oo, guys running one step slant Routes. Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, no, man, you getting the head start. You getting a head start. You gotta get in that full three step slant.
Shannon Sharp
Hey, yeah, and it's hey, and. And now. Hey, and see, back then, Ocho, it wasn't no defensive receiver.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, you going.
Shannon Sharp
It wasn't no blow to the head.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Exactly.
Joe Johnson
Hey, quite a bit, huh?
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, Hell yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I live. I live across.
Shannon Sharp
Because here's the thing though, Joe, you had to catch it. Because if you didn't catch it, they gonna knock hell out you. If you did, Cat. If you didn't catch it, they're gonna say you scared. That's why you didn't catch it. You get. They're gonna knock it out either way. So you might as well go ahead and catch it. You get. Cause they're gonna be standing over you talking crazy.
Joe Johnson
Oh, Joe, do you get alligator arms when you come across that middle?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, no, Joe, I'm jumping. I'm jumping bad, not jumping. I'm everything, Joe. That's why I got knocked out before reaching for everything. I don't care. Yeah, Ray got me good ball. Hey, Joe, I could. The Shaq wouldn't be able to catch that ball, but here go my ignorant ass. I still think I'm still. I'm still reaching for it. Anyway, boy, Ray caught me up under the chin and I got upset at Ray. How you hit me like that. We just prayed together before the game.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, I prayed I didn't kill you. You afraid? One prayer, I was praying, another pray. Lord, please don't let me kill this man out here. Cuz if he catch a sl.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So he caught me off guard, I would have put. I would have put his hands on Ray Jo. Hey, man, listen. Hey, boy.
Joe Johnson
Oh, man, I'm saying. I'm saying. You knew he was gonna hit you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming because in his drop and I knew I had to slant. And based on the coverage. Based on the coverage, I can't remember. No, it wasn't Fabian Washington, was it? Fabian Washington. He softened up, and once he softened up and I knew the safety. Go back. I knew Ray had dropped a little bit, so I knew he was gonna be right there.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, he had hooked the. He had. Ray had the hook.
Jeremy Pargo
Yep.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Bingo. Exactly. So I just slowed down right. I slowed down right in the hole. I'm not gonna run through there. I reached for it for no reason, knowing I couldn't get to it. And here you go.
Shannon Sharp
We got a clip. We got a snippet of AJ on the roller coaster. Watch this Ocho and Joe. Oh.
Joe Johnson
A.J.
Shannon Sharp
Got his glasses on. Hey, he got his glasses and jewelry, gold on.
Joe Johnson
Hey. So y' all roller coaster riders?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
I hadn't rolled one a long time once. My kids got big and they didn't want to go anymore. But I haven't rolled one in a long ass time. Joe.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, Joe. I never missed Dade County Youth Fair. Come here to Miami. Come here. Come here to Miami every March, and I think, at least in April, I don't miss it. I don't miss it. Now, what I don't like is they got rid of the double loop, which was the big roller coaster used to have right in the corner when you go over the bridge. It's been going for a minute, but outside, everything. Outside of that, I'm getting on everything.
Shannon Sharp
I used to ride the Batman, the Superman, the ten story free fall. I used to ride on Universal Studios.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Not very far. I'm riding everything. I'm pushing kids out the way.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
The finish line.
Shannon Sharp
And, you know, now they keep creating bigger ones. You know, I think they got Millennium Force. They got one In Ohio that's 300ft high and get up to speeds of like 70, 80, 90 miles an hour.
Joe Johnson
I'm cool. I'm cool. I'm a wife. I ain't gonna lie. I'm a watch. I'm gonna be there. I'm a watcher. Have you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, Joe, you ever rolled roller coasters before at all?
Joe Johnson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It's just uncomfortable, huh?
Joe Johnson
Yeah, man. I just feel so vulnerable. I can't control nothing. I ain't, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharp
No, you can't. Nah, you're absolutely right, Joe. You can't control nothing.
Joe Johnson
But, boy, they got that. That Six Flags, I think. What was it? The Superman. Yeah, the. The Mummy. They got this thing called the Bummy at the Universal.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Studio. Yeah, That's a good one.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, I got on that Ocho a couple years ago.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That was it.
Joe Johnson
Look, I told my kid, boy, y' all gonna pay. I'm gonna be at the finish line on the next one. I'll be waiting for y' all. Yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah. I. I hadn't been. Like I said, because the last time I was there, you, like. It's like, hard for me to, like, click my. To hear that thing click. Like, you know, you gotta hear that thing click, Ocho. And you know, that thing ain't made for big people.
Joe Johnson
That's what I be trying to tell them, man. Why they think I be playing. They think I'd be trying to Come up with all kind of excuses. Oh, you just scared. You, man, Please.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I understand.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. I can't do old Joe. You know, I feel like the old. I didn't get, the. The scary I done got good, boy.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, but like I said, I'm. That's. That's me. I'm frozen for some reason. Y' all can hear me? Can you hear me, Ojo?
Joe Johnson
Yeah, I can. We can hear you.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, that's that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, that's that dial up WI fi you using in there.
Shannon Sharp
Nah, we ain't got. We ain't got a dunk on uncle tonight, so I ain't dial up. No, I ain't dial up that, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, uncle, you done went out.
Joe Johnson
Oh, there you go.
Shannon Sharp
I'm back now.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Back.
Shannon Sharp
Jamar chase, not really 100% on playing flag football in the 2028 Olympics.
Joe Johnson
I don't know.
Shannon Sharp
I want to hear more information about it. I want to know the timing for us. Off season, end of season. I want to know if we're getting paid. I want to know where we're traveling every week, every other day, every day, like all parts of it. Because we have an off season, we have a life. How long would it be? I don't know. There's a lot of questions to it. I think it's pretty cool, but I'm not really 100% on it yet.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, I mean, I like it. I like it, and I like. Also, I heard one of the reporters ask him how he felt about those that love and play the game of flag football professionally and making sure they're incorporated in some way. He said, obviously he says he needs to do his homework on it. But listen, Doucet, who, obviously the quarterback who's very, very good, and he did. He plays flag. Flag at the highest level. You know, he spoke out and said how he felt it wasn't fair that the game they love is being taken over by NFL players.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah, for sure.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Anyone is going to represent our country in a flag football format, it should be them. So, Doucette, I'm sure you're going to see this, and I hope y' all get the due justice that you guys deserve for the game that you guys love to play. And it's not taken over by those that play NFL football. They can come help contribute and get a better understanding of the game. But actually, them just going from NFL football with a certain set of rules and thinking they're going to learn and dominate the game of flag football. And just asinine to think, yeah, flag tough man.
Joe Johnson
Hey, look, I know we all athletes and y' all played the game of football. I didn't play no other sport outside of basketball. But just this.
Shannon Sharp
What?
Joe Johnson
About a year ago, we got a flag football team out here, Hammond Park.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
And guess what? It's Co Ed. Man, we getting our ass steamrolled out here. You hear me? I'm talking about. Listen, I'm talking about the girls can throw catch. I'm talking about they got all type of little nuances in the game that if you ain't never played it, you lost. You hear me?
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. Hey, that game different now. I thought for some NFL guys, I'm like, oh, man, it'd probably be all right, but y' all saying, ain't no way. Yeah. It's hard. It's tough.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ain't no way. Hey, Joe, it's too many. It's too. It's too many tricks. There's too many nuances, Right? They're going on the knee and, oh, they can manipulate the game in ways that NFL players aren't used to. I don't care how fast and quick you are having those attributes, you know, to apply to your game. Now, that's all nice and dandy in the NFL, but flag man.
Joe Johnson
Like he said.
Shannon Sharp
Okay, how much time are they going to have to devote? Because it's not like. It's like, oh, your. Like basketball, but basketball, you know, when the. When the pros came, you know, came back in 92, when they went to Barcelona, they had practice.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
So what are you going to do? You just go have these guys out there. Hey, okay, you want to play? Okay. Okay. Lamar, you could be the quarterback. Hey, Jetta. Tyreek, you want to play? No, they're gonna have to. They're gonna have to go practice. And like he said, that's their off season.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. They ain't trying to get.
Shannon Sharp
And just like the guys in basketball, they got to give up a large part of the off season. Joe. Yeah, What? She comes over with and then you got, you know, like, in basketball, they got the worlds and they got all the USAs, and they got all this other stuff, but it's. It's gonna be different. It ain't just. Okay, you. Hey, y' all just show up, right?
Joe Johnson
You're gonna have to put.
Shannon Sharp
So I. I understand what Chase is talking about.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, yeah. Chemistry and continuity, man, you can't cheat that.
Shannon Sharp
Nope.
Joe Johnson
Oh, you can't cheat. You think you can have the most talented guys and just go out there and beat up on folks? But, man, listen, if Y' all ain't on the same page. You should rap, especially.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You don't know the. Know the rules, and you. You haven't been doing it for a very long time.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, I agree.
Shannon Sharp
The Bears are reportedly looking for Caleb Williams to improve his body language and other finer nuances, per Albert Brer. While the coaches understood the beating that he took, they showed fam to emphasize how he'd been slow to pull himself off the ground. Williams reportedly is eagerly to make these changes. I agree. Body language is everything, Ocho. You know how it is.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, we talk about Chicago. We talk about the Chicago Bears. We talk about the same team that had Jay Cutler, who showed no emotion the whole time. I totally understand. I totally understand them, but keep. Keep your quarterback upright. Keep your quarterback up right? The best way you can. He wouldn't have to be slow to get up off the ground because he's tired of getting up, tired of getting up from there. He's tired. I understand him. That's why he's getting up slow. The fan. The faster you get up, the quicker you're gonna get back. Back down there.
Shannon Sharp
Well, I think it's just like, you know, like, the quarterbacks normally. They. They normally spring up because now you make it seem like it's the offensive line, and, you know, you don't want to show anybody up, so just, you know, just. Just pop on back up like, hey, yeah, we know. Hey, we know you take. Yeah, we know you get. And. And like you said, the coaches understood the beating that he took.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
But, hey, I ain't finna show the defense. Y' all ain't finna know. Somebody might get a clean shot on me, Ocho, but you ain't gonna know it. Yeah, if I can get up, I'm gonna get my ass up. Yeah. Now, I had some stuff broken. I laid right there. Y' all come on to get me when I. I broke my collarbone, fractured my eye socket, Joe. I lay right there. But other than that, I done took some. Took some mean shots.
Joe Johnson
Yeah. Don't remember a whole lot, but that orbital bone. Yeah, the hell you laid out. I would lay it out for a minute, too.
Shannon Sharp
Man, that thing hurt. It made it feel like the whole side of my face exploded.
Joe Johnson
Man, Listen, when I did mine, they took me to the back, man. I thought somebody was hitting in the back of my head with a hammer. That thing was hurting so bad, it just was ringing. Yeah, what. What I'm talking. It wouldn't go away, Ocho.
Shannon Sharp
Damn.
Joe Johnson
I'm talking about Ringing.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ringing.
Shannon Sharp
That thing hurt. It definitely hurt. The Falcons posted this picture today before promptly, promptly deleting it. We're out here 3:28.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What's wrong with it? Why they deleted.
Shannon Sharp
Huh? Yeah.
Joe Johnson
What we missing?
Shannon Sharp
2083. Patriots, Falcons.
Joe Johnson
Oh, man.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, okay. Okay, okay, okay. Oh, so they got somebody. The jokes. The jokes went flying, huh?
Joe Johnson
Yep.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay, I understandable. But that's the pass song. That's the past. You have to delete it for that.
Shannon Sharp
Man, look here. Atlanta ain't gonna ever forget that. Joe, you better tell him, man.
Joe Johnson
Listen, Ocho. Yeah, it so happened. I was playing for the Brooklyn Nets at the time, but I was here in Atlanta. We was gonna play the Hawks, right, A couple days. So, you know, I had a little shindig at the crib. My partner came over here. He had his wife and his son decked out in Atlanta gear. I'm talking about, boy, they going crazy at halftime. You hear me? Throwing a hole, running of the Bulls in my kitchen going crazy. You hear me? Yeah, Ocho. Boy, when that lead started trickling down, you should have seen that, man. Hey, he lost it. He lost. He couldn't believe it. Lost.
Shannon Sharp
Joe, they was already in the streets, man. My homeboy Ben, they sent me pictures. They parted in the street with super bowl coming to Atlanta. What I tell you?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, I'm not even trying to be funny. When a 28 3, huh? I honestly thought the game was over. I had jumped on the video game. I started playing FIFA. I'm just thinking about it and, you know, as playing the game, as long as I played it, especially two teams that are as good as they are to get to the super bowl, to be down 28 3. There's really no way you can come back from that. Run the ball.
Shannon Sharp
They made every mistake. They would not run the football. How you up 28 3. And you have fewer rushes in the second half than the team that's down 28 3. Matt Ryan know damn well he can't take a sack. Cause they're in field goal range. And he took a sack. And the play that changed it is when Tevin Campbell got hurt. They brought the backup back in. I forget his name. And he whiffed. And Hightower, they had the guy open for a touchdown. And Matt Ryan was fitting to throw it. And in the process, Hightower hit him. He fumbled.
Joe Johnson
Mm. That's all she wrote.
Shannon Sharp
That was all she wrote.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That fourth down catch from Edelman. Two. That ain't nothing. Oh, yeah, that ain't number.
Shannon Sharp
Well, it was almost picked off.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, that was number the football guards right there.
Shannon Sharp
But think about it. Late in the ball game, ojo the fourth quarter, I think it was like inside of two minutes. Julio made that great toe touch. Yeah. You in field goal. Yes.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, that was beautiful.
Shannon Sharp
You in field goal range now. Just run the football.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
Why would you? Why would you? And Matt Ryan had been playing long enough. He knows he can't take a sack in that situation. Ocho. He can't. You just can't.
Joe Johnson
Hey, look, they built that beautiful stadium right after that, thinking they was going to get right back to there.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And, man, it's hard to get back, bro.
Joe Johnson
Listen, man, it is. You got to think about it. Hold on.
Shannon Sharp
They went. They played us in 98, so it was almost 20 years before they went back again.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
All right, boy. Hey, I think people have been spoiled by the Patriots consistently going back over and over and over again in Kansas City. In Kansas City now, recently. It's hard, man. It's a testament to how great 12 and 15 are.
Shannon Sharp
Yep.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
There's a reason they make. Man, you get the point. I don't need to. I don't need to get into that.

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

Stadium now. I hadn't played in that stadium in. Oh my goodness, almost 20. Oh, almost 30 years. So I don't know what it. It was. It was fairly new when we played in it. Right, so it seemed.

Fans. Chargers ain't got no fans. They should what they. What the Chargers should have done. Ocho was renovated that stadium. I don't.

Well, it's only like 90 minutes. That's if everything is perfect. If the. If the interstate opens up is 90 minutes.
Joe Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharp
But it's probably about four, three and a half, four hours, man. Chargers ain't got no fan base like that. They don't. I'm being honest. They should have just re the money that they put to go into Sofi. Right. So they could be second class to the Rams. They should have just put that money into that stadium and built that right there. And the mascot would have rated. And the Raiders used to have. I don't know if that's.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Who is the red mascot?
Shannon Sharp
It used to be the. The black guy, the pirate guy with the shoulder pads.

What's an earlier analysis on Josh Allen finally getting over the hump? Josh Allen and Lamar finally getting over the hump this year. Joe, you first. Is Tim's on the hot seat?
Joe Johnson
I don't think he gonna be on the hot seat.
Shannon Sharp
I don't think so either.
Joe Johnson
I think, you know, he's done a, you know, pretty good job in getting them to where they at right now. Maybe they need to add a little more depth to the bench.
Shannon Sharp
Yep.
Joe Johnson
Because I think running these dudes in the ground, as they. As they age, you get a little older, you know, man, it take a couple years off. You okay?
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
You know what I mean?
Shannon Sharp
Yeah. And he played those guys heavy minutes during the regular season.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
So it's gonna be. I don't think. Look, they knocked off the. The defending champs. They did it in five games.
Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
So I think that bought him another year.
Joe Johnson
I do, too. I think you're gonna be all right.
Shannon Sharp
Yeah.
Joe Johnson
They gotta get some help, though. They gotta get them boys some help off their bench. Cause it's just too much pressure on Brunson and Cat to perform at the level that they need to perform at.
Shannon Sharp
For them to be every night.
Joe Johnson
Yeah, it's too hard, man. It's too challenging.
Shannon Sharp
Ocho.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharp
Josh Allen and Lamar getting over the hump this year.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Man, listen, if anybody get over the hump, it's going to be my goddamn Bengals. Now, if there's anybody else that's going to be in the hunt to actually get over the hump as well, it would be Lamar and it'd be goddamn Josh Allen. It's going to come down to those three on. On the back end of things, too. You know, Whoever plays mistake free football. Whoever plays mistake free football when it matters most, they. They, they. They gonna. They gonna get over the.
Shannon Sharp
Huh? Yep.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'm just hoping it's us. I'm hoping we only.

Shannon welcomes Jeremy Pargo, a seasoned basketball player with 15 seasons in both the NBA and international leagues, who is also a teammate of Joe Johnson in the Detroit Amp's Big Three. Jeremy discusses his latest venture into the film industry with his co-written feature, "The Final Play."
Notable Quote:

Joe Johnson (21:43): "When I was playing, I knocked the ligament loose in my right wrist. This was later in my career, but it was in my right hand. And as a shooter now, I think I'm more of a shooter than Russ, you know, it bothers you and it has. They can guess it. You know what I mean?"

Body language is everything, Ocho. You know how it is."

Notable Quote:
