Ocho woman says a man giving low effort after after he sends money for a lunch. Good morning. Good morning. Cash out to $30. I know it ain't much but lunch on me. Honestly, I'm so over these low effort. Just keep effing. You don't have to do that. Thanks though See, that.
Chad Johnson
That's. See, that's the problem. Just ungrateful.
Shannon Sharpe
She sent it back to a mocho.
Chad Johnson
You send it back to him.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah.
Chad Johnson
So listen, that's. That's. That's $30 less that she had. She ain't even had 30. She had the money. Well, you know, she might have had money anyway. She might have had money anyway. But again, that come from the men. That come from the men that lead with money. It's easy to attract the woman to get what you want much faster when you leave with money. It's very. It's very, very easy. Very easy. That's why most of the men with the money getting all the goddamn women. You hear me? Because the situations like that, women don't appreciate a man's generosity. Listen, I don't have much, baby, but if you hungry, he go $30. He go $30 out my check. I don't make much every two weeks, but I'm gonna give you $30 because.
Shannon Sharpe
What about this tube steak, huh? What about this tube steak?
Chad Johnson
She can eat tooth steak. You can't do that. You can't do that. You can. You can't approach. You can't approach like that. You. You. That's.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't been approach with no money.
Chad Johnson
Oh, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
You think I'm gonna send you money off the rip for lunch?
Chad Johnson
Right? I see what you're saying. Well, I mean, you right.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean. I mean, come on, Ocho. I mean, that the. I mean, how you open up a conversation and like, send money.
Chad Johnson
Well, but you have to understand everything. You. You gonna pay indirectly anyway, so you might as well start off.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't got no cash app, so how am I gonna get you the money?
Chad Johnson
You. You tell her to come get it. Can I connect? I told you. I told you. Hey, listen, let me tell you something before you go. Remember what my bio on Twitter says, right?
Shannon Sharpe
What it say?
Chad Johnson
Let me read it to you one more time. Chat. Y'all listen to me. McDonald's is cheaper than therapy. And never forget, you're paying for sex indirectly. Keywords. Indirectly. But the word relationship or marriage changes the narrative, huh? Let. Let. Let that sink in. I'm not a therapist, I'm not a counselor, but I know what the hell I'm talking about through experience. Nothing in life is free.
Shannon Sharpe
No. Hell, no.
Chad Johnson
In love don't pay the bills. That was a good one right there. I need to write. I'm gonna write that down.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but don't you. I mean. I mean, the thing that ticks me off the most is being ungrateful. I don't care how big or how small it is.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Let me know that you appreciate my good gesture because I didn't have to. I did. I didn't have to do ish at all.
Chad Johnson
And. And it's with men also. Men. You got to understand, no matter how much you want to give. Stay within your financial lane. Stay within your financial lane. I don't care who it is. Don't allow these women to be a salary cap casualty. Stay within your financial lane. If you scroll through her Instagrams, look at her Instagrams. If you look at her pictures and you see that, you can't maintain the image that she's trying to portray. Keep scrolling.
Shannon Sharpe
Let it go. Yeah, if you can't afford it.
Chad Johnson
Look, don't even send no message.
Shannon Sharpe
Don't even know it's okay to win the shop. I mean, when I have no bread. Hey, I'm looking like, man, I sure wish one day I could go into the Harry Winston. Tiffany or X, Y, and Z.
Chad Johnson
Yes, sir.
Shannon Sharpe
You look at these women, bro. You know? You know, so she got a Birkin bag, which is more than you make in three months.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
What? She. Yeah, stop. Yeah.
Chad Johnson
And matter of fact, even if the Birkin bag ain't real, which it isn't half the time, because you have to. You have. There's a line. There's a line for Perkins. I'm not. Oh, you ain't just walking in no Birkin store anyway. So that's a whole nother story. But, fellas, learn to accurate wage. It's simple. Learn to accurate wage. It's okay. There are simple women out there that will enjoy and be happy and grateful that you send them $30 for lunch. Yeah, grateful. Now remember, stay in your financial lane. Don't allow these women to be a salary cap casualty. Okay. Acc your wage. Simple. Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
You ain't got it. I ain't got it, baby.
Chad Johnson
I'm sorry.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't got it.
Chad Johnson
I ain't got it.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, you. They go. They gonna guilt you. I thought. I thought you was old high roller. I thought you was a big baller.
Chad Johnson
I thought she was a real. A real ni. A real ninja. Oh, I thought provider, huh? Don't fall for that. Manipulation. Don't fall for that.
Shannon Sharpe
That ain't me. I ain't got it. My money jumped funny last week.
Chad Johnson
Matter of fact, I got it. I got it, and I ain't sending it.
Shannon Sharpe
You got to wait till the interest rate come down. Right now, the interest rate's a little high right now. The interest too high. I gotta wait till the interest rate drop down. Once you get under 3%, holla at your boy.
Chad Johnson
Hold on. I'm gonna write you a check, but don't cash it till this date.
Shannon Sharpe
I want you to cash this check too early. The money ain't gonna be there March 2nd, 20th. Never. That's what I'm a post date to check for. That's where you could cash it, man. I can honestly say I don't know when the last time I wrote a check. Oh, yo, check this one out.
Chad Johnson
That's funny.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, check this out. Hooters announced bankruptcy yesterday, much to the sadness of a few NBA players. Kevin Love posted on Instagram a photo of himself at Hooters when he was younger with the caption, as you can see, I was swimming. I was swimming in it back then. Sad to see the fall of an absolute institution. If anyone can save it, it's the two on the table. Next slide. Who do you got? Kevin Low. He got Kevin. He got Katie and Book.
Chad Johnson
Hey, that's.
Shannon Sharpe
That's a good one because Book. Book said Book. Please don't go. Who at Hooters, you ever. You ever had their wings?
Chad Johnson
Listen. Oh, yeah, yeah. I used to go to Hooters back in the days. Now I never forget now. Now, ever since twin pizzas came about. Obviously, when I'm in Miami, anytime, I don't frequent Atlanta often. But the few times I have been to Atlanta, which I can count on two hands, even after all these years, hey, I like Hooters, but I prefer Twin Peaks better. I don't know if it's the food, but the fact that I can sit on the patio, I can smoke. They always have my soccer games.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
You know how much I love soccer. They have my soccer games on at Twin Peaks and Pines. Twin Peaks in Doral. They make my coffee for me. You know, I get my cafe con leche. I get my latte. It just. It's something Hooters has never been able to. To. To. To do for me outside of going to eat the food, you know, that's.
Shannon Sharpe
Still got better wings. Wingstop or Hooters?
Chad Johnson
Probably Wingstop. Wingstop has a variety of wings you can choose from.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Different flavors.
Chad Johnson
Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
I said Wingstop got about 40 different flavors.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, they got. They got.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't want no sauce on my. I mean, if I were to get sauce, I'm probably gonna get lemon pepper, but for the most part, I don't want no sauce. I don't Want no buffalo sauce. I want no hot. I want anything. Just, Just give me wings.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Flats.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
If I'm getting a dozen wings, give me 10 flats and two drummets.
Chad Johnson
That's it. Two drums.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, okay.
Chad Johnson
That's about right.
Shannon Sharpe
It's too, it's too, it's too, too, too, too difficult.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, I like that.
Shannon Sharpe
Difficult. Oh, you gonna miss Hooters.
Chad Johnson
Listen, I'm not even gonna say a lot to you. I ain't been to Hooters in so long.
Shannon Sharpe
I told you, I ain't either.
Chad Johnson
Ever. Ever since I learned about Twin Peaks. But I ain't been to Hooters in years. I don't even listen. Hooters right there on 27th Avenue. 27th Avenue. Right, right off. Right. Yeah, right off. Wait, right off of Pines. Right off of Pines and Flamingo. I think something like that, man, I go right to Twin Peaks. I'm not, I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna let. Just, just Twin Peaks has more to offer aesthetically. No, I, I, I look straight ahead, but I use my peripheral vision, if you understand what I'm saying.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I think, I think Ocho, I think that's what it was. It was iconic. It was those T shirts.
Chad Johnson
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
Cropped. And there was no orange shorts.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
And I think that, that, that was the allure of it.
Chad Johnson
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
It's fast food. I mean, look, I. You're not going there expecting to get a five course meal, something that, oh, my God, this is the best. Whatever, whatever, whatever. But it was, it was, it was the view, it was the ambiance. You got to go with your buddies and you watch sporting events, things of that nature.
Chad Johnson
Yes, sir.
Shannon Sharpe
So if it is to close, I mean, how long would it open? They had to be open about 40 years. 50. 40, 50 years.
Chad Johnson
Oh, it's been nice.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, hell, it was when I was a kid. It was. Yeah.
Chad Johnson
Hey, uncle, you've been. When you down in Atlanta, you ain't been to the Twin Peaks in Atlanta.
Shannon Sharpe
And they got the game 1983, so 42 years.
Chad Johnson
Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
No, Ocho, man, look here, bro, check it out.
Chad Johnson
When sporting games on, boxing matches, mma, basketball, I, I enjoy it. I only go there for soccer. You know, they, they have me my EPL games on. You know, I want to watch La Liga, I want to watch Champions League. I go right in Pines or I go right there in Doral. Man. It's perfect. The food, phenomenal.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, the thing is, for me, I'm trying to watch because I'm probably gonna have to critique or analyze these games. I need to be able to focus.
Chad Johnson
Okay, okay. Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
And, you know, especially football, man. What do you think? Was that a holding? Should they have called it? You like that.
Chad Johnson
Man? I'm trying to watch the game, man.
Shannon Sharpe
But it's okay, Ocho.
Chad Johnson
Okay. Yeah, you're right. You're right. I got you. I got you.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, I stop. I don't stop wearing headphones. I'll be at the airport. They take my headphones. They take me. Ask me asking, did he just take your headphones? Yeah, he took them off and asked me a question.
Chad Johnson
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Somebody actually pull your headphones off?
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, they do it all the time. What you mean somebody all the time? So if it.
Chad Johnson
Hey, I can't imagine that, but I know you. You'd be ready to snap, huh? I like.
Shannon Sharpe
I. Oh. I mean. I mean, sometimes I do wish I get. Got the grace that other people that had headphones on were walking through the airport or wherever in the gym, and they didn't get tapped on the shoulder or they didn't get the headphones lifted off the earth. But, you know, in a situation like that, Ocho, you know, you have to be on all the time. I mean, celebs and entertainers and athletes, we never get to have an off day. We got to be on all the time.
Chad Johnson
Yes, sir.
Shannon Sharpe
That's. That's sad, because we are human. Money doesn't make you from. Doesn't exempt you from human experiences. Sadness, disappointment, anger, frustration, happiness. Yeah, but it is what it is, Ocho. You know, you. You keep it moving. And because I. I ain't spending no money on no private jet.
Chad Johnson
There we go. Now we get in places. Hey, speaking of jets and speaking of airplanes in general, you know, there have been a lot of situations, a lot of. A lot of airlines having unfortunate circumstances. You know, aerial. You know, I don't want to say it. You know, falling out the air, having incidents, you know, tumbling over, doing flips on the Runway. You know, what airline hasn't had any.
Shannon Sharpe
Issues on what airline?
Chad Johnson
Spirit.
Shannon Sharpe
They've been grounded.
Chad Johnson
You know, what airline hasn't had any issue in chat? None at all. Now, listen, now. Now, we might. We might fight. We might fight on the plane.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, you. What you mean, Mike?
Chad Johnson
Hey, stay. Stay with me. Now. We might fight on the plane. You might have our receptionist cuss you out. Yeah, that might happen. But one thing about it, we're gonna get you where you got to get to, and we're gonna get you back home safe. We ain't having no, no issues. We gonna get you. We might fight, you know, we might.
Shannon Sharpe
Talk a little bit.
Chad Johnson
That's all right.
Shannon Sharpe
You do realize that movie Soul Plane was based on spirit?
Chad Johnson
Hey, you know, you know the soul playing from point A to point B, right? Listen, it might, it might be a little chaos, it might be a little turmoil on the way to your trip, but we ain't falling out.

Make some noise for the greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry. We went live from All Star Weekend.
Shannon Sharpe
For a new podcast called Go Greatest.
Chad Johnson
Of Their Era and we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s. Peja 5 Dirk Ford. Peja is a okay, okay.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm mad him.
Chad Johnson
I left him off my list, but I still like my list.
Shannon Sharpe
You won't believe who Steph left off his list.
Chad Johnson
That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations. Yes, absolutely. Love it. Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters. When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you. There's a fear factor that's associated with anytime you're wide open. Like, you might as well just count that and get on back on defense. Listen to Goat G O T E greatest of their era on the iHeartRadio.
Shannon Sharpe
App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is what it been eating up the chat, and everybody been wanting to talk about it. Now, the red. Most requested topic of the night. Smith Sr. Was caught having an affair with another man's wife. First, a Facebook post appeared that was clearly written by the husband. I mean, you guys can see it. It's like, hey, I'm. I'm Nicole Martinez. Though I won't be Martinez much longer. You see, I've been cheating on my husband and have been doing so with the very famous Steve Smith Sr. Pick attached for reference. I had hidden under three, but that's been fixed. My husband bought me a house. He stood by my side after. I've been arrested twice for domestic violence, and this is how I repay him and our son, Threes. Plenty of messages here. Steve's crazy. The kind of revealing messages a celebrity will send. Baltimore Ravens. I'm also a member of your team band. I believe I violated some fraternization rules by hooking up with Steve at the training facility. Oh, Lord have mercy.
Chad Johnson
Damn. When. When this happened, I've been. Man, I've been out here in the Bahamas.
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't hear nothing about this. Hold on, Ocho. And then the husband called Smitty and posted the video. Now, I don't know if. If there's some kind of like, don't you have to have to record someone? Don't you have to have. It's state by state. In. In Vegas, it's only one party, so the party that's recording, they know it. The other party don't. California, if I think it's a two state. But anyway, Ocho, the husband called Smitty and posted the video. Let's take a listen to what. What was said.
Chad Johnson
Hey, yo, Steve.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, sir.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, you've been my wife, bro. What you got to say for yourself?
Shannon Sharpe
I'm sorry.
Chad Johnson
You're sorry? Well, listen, he said he's sorry. He said he's sorry, Unc. Now, listen, this. This is what you don't do. This is what as. As. As a. As a. As a man understanding, you know, that's my wife, girlfriend, someone you're seeing, someone you're talking to. You never confront the individual because Steve Smith senior owes you no loyalty.
Shannon Sharpe
Steve Smith ain't married to you, bro.
Chad Johnson
She's not married. Steve is not married to you. You talk to your wife. You check your wife. And that goes for any and everybody. I know a lot of people. You want to crash out about your woman and, and all this stuff. Man or your man or your man. Listen, it goes, it goes both ways. It always comes down to me. Again, understand who you're marrying. Understand. Understand human nature. Human nature is undefeated. I'm going to say that as well. I don't care how people come off. I don't care how innocent they may seem. I don't care how much they tell you they love you. When certain opportunities present themselves, they gonna go. When certain opportunities with certain individuals that are convenient and they feel they can get away with it, they're going to go. I don't care how much love there is. I don't care how much money you got, it doesn't matter. Understand who you're dealing with and move accordingly. I mean, I say, I say it all the time. I say it all the time. Listen, had a family, kids, husband. He doing everything. He's doing this. And you upset. There's no reason to call Steve. That's not doing nothing. You take that up with the. You take that up with the wife. You take it up with the Mrs.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, I think the thing is what the gentleman was doing is that like, okay, if I'm gonna get a divorce, I'm gonna try to mess your happy, your home up also. That's what this was about. I ain't answering. First of all, that ain't my mo. That's not me. You married? Oh, this ain't nothing. It's something. You know what your a. No, don't. Just keep it a buck with me. You married and I'm a firm believer in this. A man might not want his wife, but the moment another man shows interest, all of a sudden it gets rekindled. And like you just said at the top, people to crash out about certain situations that crime of passion. And juries are very sympathetic. They're very sympathetic in situations like this. Crime of passion. Leave it alone, guys. If you, if they're married, just let it go. Smitty, my guy. I know. I've known Smitty 20 years. Same great. Just saw a. He just was that. But he was just at my party at the Super Bowl. Had a great conversation with him. Had a great conversation with. I love the guy. Hard. No, the way he played X, Y and Z. But bro, you need to take that up with your wife.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Smitty owes you no loyalty. He's under no obligation. Now, he's going to have to deal with the issue at home, his own. On his home front, on his own situation. But this. This. I don't know. I don't know the gentleman name. That's the situation. You got to tandle with your wife. She. She has the loyalty clause. She's the one that has an obligation to you. To you. Go ahead, Ocho.
Chad Johnson
I gotta. Been around too long, man. Been around too long. Too much experience. It ain't even worth. Ain't even. It ain't even worth it. You know, I'm not. I'm not even talking about Smitty's part. You know, I. I love Smitty. You know, me and Smitty go way back to Santa Monica. I'm. Forget the Smitty part. I'm just talking about the individual who's married to the young lady. Man. You know what time it is. You see something like that, you going about your business. And this ain't the first time. The science had to be there. The science had to be there. Something like this done just happened. All of a sudden. Oh, my God. Oh, my goodness. I'm going through. I go through my wife home, and all of a sudden she's sleeping with somebody else. No, this has happened before.
Shannon Sharpe
They joke with releasing text, man. Bro, yes, that's. They be lame, man.
Chad Johnson
Cat, Cat, get. Pack your bag and start f over. You know what time it was. You know what you. You know what? You married. Understand what you're marrying. And even. And even if you got you a good girl, I'll never forget. I never forget. A very wise man once told me, depending on the circumstance and opportunity, whoever you're dealing with will take the chance if they know you won't find out. They will take the chance depending on who it is. It doesn't matter.
Shannon Sharpe
But you just can't. Ocho. But I'm. Listen, no matter what, I'm not calling no one about someone.
Chad Johnson
Hold on. You think I'm embarrassed about. You think I'm embarrassed?
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, because now he gonna be. Man, I had. I had. I bet I had, old boy. Because that. That's happened to me. That's happened to me. Dude confronted me, bro. You ain't got no issue with her. How you think I got here, right? How you think I knew where she stayed?
Chad Johnson
You ain't say that. You stand in your mind. You ain't say. You ain't say that. You just. You mean your mind. You saying, I understand what you mean? Hey, can you imagine?
Shannon Sharpe
I. I wanted. I wanted to whip him.
Chad Johnson
Now, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that.
Shannon Sharpe
But he was a teammate, okay?
Chad Johnson
God damn. Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
I didn't know, Ocho. I ain't. No. You ain't no. No, bro. If you was Burns, if, you know, demon time, boy, uncle, you like Ocho, No. If you weren't Keith Burns when you was with the Broncos, I didn't know what the hell you was doing. I didn't care. Once I found. Once I found out, right? I'm cool.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Because I don't want it to become an issue. Once I found out, I'm good. You good? You got me. Hey, you don't. Hey, bro, my bad. Okay, Once I find. Okay, Three times, Ocho, I had. You know what I'm saying, Ocho?
Chad Johnson
Three times.
Shannon Sharpe
You know what I'm saying, Ocho? Three times.
Chad Johnson
Well, you was an animal, boy. Golly. Okay, I see.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, I couldn't just leave, Ocho, you know, I said, ocho, when the club about to close, how many people say, okay, the club closes? They get up and start walking out. They linger around. They're like, hey, let me get another drink, bartender, you know? So I had to. I had to linger around.
Chad Johnson
Hey, right. I understand. Hey, that's. That's why, you know, when it happened once, when it happened. When it happened once, pack your bags and go. I don't know what you all. What you arguing for, what you fussing for, releasing text messages for, but one is not gonna stop because once you're gonna do it again. It ain't like a light switch hit on, and all of a sudden, you know what? Oh, I ain't gonna do this no more. Angle. Nah, that's. That's exactly who. Once someone shows you. Once somebody show you who they are. That's what it is.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. I mean, like I said, oo, I didn't know. I didn't know until he rolled up on it. I told you the story. Oo how to do. Rolled up on us.
Chad Johnson
Oh, yeah, yeah. You was on demon time, though, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Now. Now that I think about it, in order for him to find out where we were, he had. She had to have taken him there too.
Chad Johnson
Ah.
Shannon Sharpe
Because ain't no. Ain't no way. Ain't no way. I'm just gonna. You just gonna go somewhere, and all of a sudden, you know what? They might be here. Cause he wasn't from there, and I wasn't from there. And for him to go to that.
Chad Johnson
Spot, he had to know he had.
Shannon Sharpe
To have gone there before.
Chad Johnson
See, you know what? You know what?
Shannon Sharpe
That.
Chad Johnson
Tell me she done took more than just you two there, as well, too, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
They ain't got nothing to do with me.
Chad Johnson
I know.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm just.
Chad Johnson
I'm just saying.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, that song. I don't care about the mother, man. Just be good to me. That got nothing to do with me. What you did, what you did before Shannon, what you do after Shannon. Ain't got nothing to do with me.
Chad Johnson
But you know, it does have something to do with you. What you do while you wish in. That's what matters.
Shannon Sharpe
I would let that go. Hey, I ain't. Look, I ain't finna hold you. Clearly, that's what you want to be with. That's where you want to be at. I'll let you go ahead and do that.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, man, what's. Look, that's the. A lot of behavior is just like. Just like animals.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
What's. And I grew up on a farm once. We had a hog, and that joker got out.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
My grandfather wasn't gonna keep him much longer because he already knows what it's like on the outside. So no matter how much feed and slop you gave him on the inside, he knows it's something out there and he needs to get to it. So once they started getting out, it wasn't long before my grandfather load dads up in the truck and take him to the market once they get outside. Ocho. Just like. Just like a dog. Let a dog break out, Especially if he. He or she is intact.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
One or two things. You either go get that fixed.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Because you're not gonna be able to keep them in. Now, I ain't telling what somebody told you. I'm telling you what I know. You talk about somebody that grew up on a farm that had hogs, that had dogs. I'm telling you. And I. Look, I. Look, I'm not saying. I'm just saying the behavior. I ain't calling no woman, no dog and no hog or nothing like that. I'm just saying the behavior. Humans are animals. Yeah. And they have very, very similar behavior a lot of times. Territory. Animals mark their territory, then kick. If you notice the dog go poop, he'll kick. If he. He got scent glands in his paws in the back, he let them know, hey, big dog, here. Now, don't let me catch you over here. I'm gonna do something bad to you.
Chad Johnson
Hey, hey. You know what? I Think it's, it's funny when you think about the experience. I think that the chat, there's, there's a huge disconnect and not understanding the amount of. All right, how do I say this without getting in trouble? The chat has a huge disconnect. The amount of women we've dealt with during those days. I'm gonna say it. I don't give a. Who I get in trouble with, especially right now. You don't understand the amount of women I've dealt with during that day. You know, I'm talking about 20, 25 years worth. So I know what it looks like, what buddy going through. I've been on one end of the spectrum, and I've been on the other side of the spectrum.
Shannon Sharpe
Absolutely.
Chad Johnson
But I've been number two way more times than I've been number one. So I know the game, I know the tricks, I know the trade. And like, at that point, so you, you become numb to it. As soon as you see any signs, boom, okay, you know what time it is, you lock in and you move accordingly. It's really easy to experience over time. That's why that's that for me. I'm just saying. For me. That's why it's so easy. I always tell you. That's why I always tell you I see one thing wrong, boom. It's easy for me to be able to compartmentalize and know what's going on.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm dealing with it. Yeah. Look, I, and I think the thing is, a lot of times men and women are not as forthcoming as they, as they need to be.
Chad Johnson
Ever.
Shannon Sharpe
My grandfather used to always say, he said, boy, everybody has somebody. It's just. To what extent? A wife, a significant other, a girlfriend, maybe you see them casually. The, the, the, the likelihood of you finding somebody scot free. Now even if you find somebody, she or he seeing somebody and they might be willing to, it's easy for them to cut it off because it's not that extensive. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Chad Johnson
Wait a minute now. I told you this before. This is when I, when our earlier shows, when we first started.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
Like when you meet somebody, right. And, and, and the women, women in the chat, they, they can attest to this. You know, most of the time, the person you with right now is really not who you want to be with. 98 of marriages, the women that are married to certain men, you're not married to the man you really want to be with. You're married to your safe, you're married to Your safe place. And the one that made the most sense, women that have girl. I mean, men that have girlfriend. Girlfriends, right? Now, ask your girlfriend. Ask your girlfriend who's the dude that left that mark in her life that will always have access to her for the rest of her life. And see, if she tell you the truth. Everybody got one. Every woman has one. No matter who it is, always. They all got one. And if she tell you it isn't everybody. Everybody in my life, not one. Just had that one place in that one spot. My man. God, please. Yeah, it's a dirty game.
Shannon Sharpe
But that. The mentality. The mentality has changed, Ocho, because women have adopted a lot of the mentality that a man has.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
You know, man. Man have that mentality.
Chad Johnson
Oh, you do it. I'm gonna do it too. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Yep. And sometimes they go get the lick back. They go get your best friend. They go, you work. Whatever the case may be. That's your hoo. Ha.
Chad Johnson
Oh, no. Damn. I know it ain't.
Shannon Sharpe
No, I know that's hers. Oh, you think? Oh, you give. No, you. You can't give that. You. You. Hey, that follows you. That's on you. That follows you. I can't keep it.
Chad Johnson
One thing I think one of the things we confuse, especially when we get in relationships. We get in relationships. Yep. Hell, even marriages like this individual here, we have this. This feeling. This feeling or notion that, okay, that's my property ownership, you know, even. Even in relationships, once that title comes about, where men continue to crash out about is they feel as if they own that woman in her body and what she's doing with her body parts, at no point ever, no matter how much money you pour into the individual, at no point ever does she belong to you. Ever. I don't care what she say. Even though her horizontal activity, when she tell you this is your. You know what? It still ain't yours because at some point it belongs to somebody else.
Shannon Sharpe
It's yours right now.
Chad Johnson
Yeah. At that. At that very.
Shannon Sharpe
That's all I'm worried about. I don't know.
Chad Johnson
That's it.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, hey, Ocho, if you. If you spend a lot of time worried about. And remember I told you, like, when I went to work and I tell my. I used to tell my. I said, I can't worry about you. I say, I can't spend one moment while I'm at work worrying about what you're doing, because if I do, I gotta let you go. I gotta let you go. If I gotta think about what you're Doing where you are. If you're talking to someone, I gotta let you go.
Chad Johnson
It ain't. It'll make no sense. Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
It's ready to put him. I mean, I hate if Smitty got himself in a situation like this, knowing his situation, but Buddy was wrong for this, bro. Okay, let's just say for the sake of argument, you get.
Chad Johnson
Hold on. Time out. Just by the way he's moving. Just by the way he's moving. He ain't going nowhere. Let's start there. He ain't going nowhere. He ain't going nowhere. You don't think so? Oh, hell. Hell, no. He ain't even that type.
Shannon Sharpe
He don't got what you call him. He done got the woman to hack the woman account.
Chad Johnson
Listen, ain't nobody going through all that. That's leaving. Anybody going through all that is leaving. You ain't. You ain't do. You're not doing all that if you're leaving. You know what? You know, I'm gonna save myself an embarrassment.
Shannon Sharpe
There you go. Just walking. I'm gone. Just walk away and ain't nobody gonna know. Hey, two eight, three people gonna know. Me, her, and the good man upstairs.
Chad Johnson
That's it. Yeah. Hey, It's a dirty game, and it's been that way for a long time. That's why you got to learn to play it.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
Gotta learn to play it and bow out with grace.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, man, he hurt the Ocho. That. That's her. I mean, Ocho.
Chad Johnson

That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations. Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters. When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you. There's a fear factor that's associated with anytime you're wide open.

Chad Johnson
Oh, this is a good one this is a good one. You know what old person thing that I do probably go to bed early, you know, outside. At nights we have nightcap. Yeah, I'm sleep by 9:00. 9:00pm I'm up at 5:00am and I. I'm not sure if you would, you would. You would consider sitting on the porch and people watching an old person thing. Because everybody. People's watch, everyone watches in general. But I like, I make it a thing to actually do when I go places. Like it's. People watching is. Is a extreme sport. It passed by so much time depending on where you are. At the airport. Oh, amazing. At the mall, amazing. You can. You can pass by. You can kill a lot of time, people watching. I'm not sure if you consider that old people thing being that they love sitting out on the porch and just being nosy in general. I consider that a form of people watching as well.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't sit out on my porch. I don't do nothing, Ocho. I work out of my garage and people just walk up. Hey, I thought that was you. How you doing? If you don't get your ass out of my garage, okay? Oh, joke. Listen, people think I'm lying. People don't have no feel. They don't put up. They don't have no nothing. People just walk. I'm talking about, I'm in my garage working out and people are just walk up in the yard, walk up in the garage. I thought that was you. What you mean?
Chad Johnson
Well, you know, you're a good dude, man. You know, people feel that you're approachable.
Shannon Sharpe
Don't worry about. I am approachable. I got a. They work, they constructing offense. Right now I gotta get a fifth building encasing the whole property. Really? Y'all can't just walk up in people. Now, come on now.
Chad Johnson
You got to be accessible, man. You got to be a people's person, you know? No, brother, you gotta do like they used to do back in the days, you know, when you meet, you invite your neighbors in for tea, sit down.
Shannon Sharpe
It's a different. It's a different time now, Ocho. It's a different time. It ain't like it was when you and I grew up. It's different. You gotta move, you gotta move. Different.
Chad Johnson
But you live in it. You live in an area where you ain't got to worry about that.
Shannon Sharpe
No, I don't, bro. I ain't trusting nobody.
Chad Johnson
So if I walked in your driveway, you're not gonna trust me?
Shannon Sharpe
No. First of all, you better hurry up because the fence gonna be done in a couple of weeks. The gate's gonna be up in a couple of weeks.
Chad Johnson
I'm not even tripping because I hopped the gate. I'm not tripping.
Shannon Sharpe
Don't worry about it. Hey, you definitely be hopping, I promise. You be hopping. You definitely will be hopping, I promise you. Yeah.
Chad Johnson
Oh, you gonna shoot at me?
Shannon Sharpe
Oh yeah, you, you'll be, you'll be hopping. A Ninjas sent me $20 and told me to go shopping. I must be finna order shine card or something. Child, I don't know what the f. I'm gonna do with that.
Chad Johnson
What?
Shannon Sharpe
It's 200 enough to go shopping. Ocho.
Chad Johnson
200?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
You know how many, you know how many outfits a woman can get with 200 on shine on Fashion Nova? If you can dress you the key words. Do you know how many outfits you can get on shine a fashion Nova for 200? If you can dress, all you need is a pair of heels. All you need is a pair of heels and a person a clutch. That's it. That's it. For women, it don't take much. You don't have to have on designer. You don't have to have a nice thousand dollar outfit if you know how to piece things together. An outfit with 200 from Shine and Fashion Nova, you could kill them. You can kill them. I've seen, I've seen women do it.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, here's the piece they want to put. They want you to say 500. 500 to a thousand for shoes. They want you to send another 500 to a thousand for the hair. They want you to send another 250 for their nails and they want you to put another five, another 2,000 for the outfit. That's the piecing together they want you to do.
Chad Johnson
Certain women need to be self, you know, self aware. Self awareness is very important. You need to be self aware. Are you really that girl to be able to attract those type of men that are doing those type of things? If you know, you're not like, why even think about it? Why even think about it? You know, look, look in the mirror. Be honest with yourself.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, how y'all say that? What is it?
Chad Johnson
Oh yeah, she listen, am I really going to attract the kind of man that's going to change my lifestyle with one check? Am I going to attract one of those men that can change my life at the drop of a hat that, you know, probably not. There's a very small percentage of women that are going to meet those type of individuals. So get that out your head. It's okay. 200 is enough. It's enough to get what you need to do. It's enough, huh? I'm telling you, I didn't see. I didn't see women at five dollar dresses with heels in the clutch look like a million dollars.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I don't know. You're right. I don't know. Yeah, I don't. I don't know anything about no shopping where women shop at.

Episode Information:
[05:16 - 10:00]
Shannon Sharpe initiates a heated discussion with Chad Johnson about the dynamics of financial gestures in relationships, specifically addressing a viral scenario where a woman sends her partner $30 for lunch. The conversation centers around the perceived lack of gratitude and the implications of monetary exchanges in romantic contexts.
Shannon Sharpe: Expresses frustration over women not appreciating financial gestures, stating, “I mean, come on, Ocho. How you open up a conversation and like, send money.”
Chad Johnson: Emphasizes the importance of men staying within their financial means, advising, “Stay within your financial lane. Don’t allow these women to be a salary cap casualty.”
The hosts debate the balance between generosity and financial responsibility, highlighting societal expectations and personal boundaries. They discuss how women often expect more substantial financial support, leading to tensions and misunderstandings in relationships.
Shannon Sharpe: Adds, “I don't care how big or how small it is. Let me know that you appreciate my good gesture because I didn't have to. I did.”
Chad Johnson: Counters with practical advice, advocating for financial prudence and recognizing when to disengage emotionally, “Learn to accurate wage. There are simple women out there that will enjoy and be happy that you send them $30 for lunch.”
[10:41 - 15:00]
The conversation shifts to the recent bankruptcy announcement of Hooters, a beloved establishment among many sports fans. Both hosts reminisce about their experiences, comparing Hooters to its competitor, Twin Peaks.
Shannon Sharpe: Reflects on Hooters' legacy, mentioning, “Hooters announced bankruptcy yesterday, much to the sadness of a few NBA players.”
Chad Johnson: Shares his preference for Twin Peaks, citing better ambiance and offerings, “I prefer Twin Peaks better. They have my soccer games on at Twin Peaks and Pines. They make my coffee for me.”
The hosts discuss the decline of Hooters, attributing it to changing consumer preferences and competition from modern dining establishments that offer a more comprehensive experience beyond just wings. They also debate the quality and variety of wings, with Shannon favoring Wingstop's diverse flavors over Hooters.
Shannon Sharpe: States, “Wingstop got about 40 different flavors. I don't want no sauce on my wings. Just give me wings.”
Chad Johnson: Agrees, highlighting Wingstop's versatility, “They got a variety of wings you can choose from.”
[20:18 - 39:54]
The episode delves into a scandal involving NFL star Steve Smith Sr., who was caught having an affair with another man's wife. A Facebook post by the aggrieved husband surfaces, revealing turmoil and betrayal within their personal lives.
Shannon Sharpe: Introduces the topic, “Smith Sr. was caught having an affair with another man's wife. A Facebook post appeared that was clearly written by the husband.”
Chad Johnson: Offers a critique of the situation, emphasizing personal responsibility, “Understand who you're marrying. Human nature is undefeated.”
The hosts discuss the ethical and emotional complexities of affairs, focusing on loyalty, trust, and the repercussions of such actions. They provide advice on handling similar situations, advocating for personal accountability and the importance of confronting issues directly rather than engaging in manipulative behavior.
Chad Johnson: Advises, “You never confront the individual because Steve Smith senior owes you no loyalty. You talk to your wife. You check your wife.”
Shannon Sharpe: Reflects on personal impact, “I didn't know until he rolled up on it. I'm cool because I don't want it to become an issue.”
They further explore the societal pressures and personal insecurities that often lead to infidelity, stressing the importance of mutual respect and clear communication in relationships.
[30:02 - 38:37]
Towards the end of the episode, Shannon and Chad reflect on broader relationship dynamics, sharing personal anecdotes and philosophical insights about love, betrayal, and self-worth.
Shannon Sharpe: Shares a metaphor from farming to explain human behavior, “Humans are animals. They have very, very similar behavior a lot of times.”
Chad Johnson: Emphasizes self-awareness and resilience in relationships, “Sometimes that gets him, you'll be hopping. A Ninjas sent me $20 and told me to go shopping. I must be finna order shine card or something.”
The conversation highlights the necessity of maintaining personal boundaries, recognizing unhealthy patterns, and prioritizing self-respect over unhealthy dependencies. They discuss strategies for moving past betrayals and the importance of healing independently.
Chad Johnson: Advises, “It's easy to experience over time. That's why I always tell you, I see one thing wrong, boom. It's easy for me to compartmentalize and know what's going on.”
