The Buccaneers waived Desmond Watson, the former Gator Rookie listed at 449 pounds with the Bucs. He weighed 464 at the school's pro day and lost 25 to 30 pounds before the draft, but he didn't get a chance to practice with the team because he didn't lose enough weight. He spent training camp on the non football injury list. Are the Bucks giving up with Big dez too soon. Oo.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
You know, I. I don't. I don't know what's going on with that situation, but obviously you drafted a player in hopes that he can contribute to your offense. I thought he would contribute to the offense. I would have loved to see big DEZ Watson sitting there next to Vita Vea and they got them. And I got them a gap. You know, N. I'm just being honest, you know, being stuff in the run game, being able to. Being able to help that defense. Obviously, I'm not sure what happened. Why would you draft a player like that and then think he going to lose the amount of weight that you want him to lose in such a short amount of time that have there especially coming. Coming in training camp. I would like for him to allow him to play and see how he plays at the size he's at now. But I think also the NFL and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers also were. Protect themselves. They were protecting themselves. But he played at that size at Florida. He played at that size at Florida. So I understand what you guys are trying to do for safety reasons, but it's how he played in Florida. So why draft him if you're not going to allow him to play the game of football? Why not let him finish out his childhood dream? Why even put it. Why didn't put him through the ringer like that? It. It confuses me. I'm hoping. I'm hoping they bring him back. That the chance they might bring him back. I don't. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how that works. But bringing him back, allowing him to continue. Continue to try to find ways to lose weight and hopefully I'm hoping he's. He's a big fella, huh? He's always been big. He's played for a very long time. So why you get to the NFL and you know what you got before you got it and then you get him there and then you want him.
Shannon Sharpe
To, you know, like he can't lose no weight doing what he's doing. Yeah. They got the man walking the field.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
That's not gonna do nothing.
Shannon Sharpe
They got the man moving the dummies and stuff like that. He might need to get on that. Serena, get that, that row. Glp.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Serena who? Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
That. That. That. Hey, he might have to take the shot Ocho, but then you take. Then you take away from what? His power. He's Ocho. He's 6 foot 5.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah. Big boy.
Shannon Sharpe
That is a big Ocho. I don't Care. He not gonna, he only gonna get so small through diet and exercise. He's, I mean, 6, 5. How small he not gonna be? You're not gonna get him to 350. Because if you give him 350, he can't play football because you, you take it all. The strength.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
If he's, hold on. If he's. How much Vita Veil weight, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
VITA VAN Probably 350.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
So he what? He's 365. Destiny Washington.
Shannon Sharpe
What?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
365?
Shannon Sharpe
450.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes. He was 500 when he got to Florida. They got to what? They got him down. He was 464 at his pro day. He's 449 right now.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Damn. Huh.
Shannon Sharpe
So he's 450 pounds, Ocho.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
You only gonna lose so much weight.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Can he get the 350, though? At 6 5, you get 350? No.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but he don't want the, the way that he would have to get to 350. He don't want either one of them.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
What, Ozempic or. You can't do that. Huh? Is that illegal? That's not illegal. That's not legal for NFL players, is it? I mean, take Ozempic and then hit the weight room and turn, turn the fat, turn the fat into muscle. Is that possible?
Shannon Sharpe
Exempt. Exempt. Eats your muscle. Ah, that's why they look like that.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
God, man, I don't like that, man.
Shannon Sharpe
That's what. And it. And it doesn't. And it's not coming back once you strip that muscle. You use that, those drugs. Ozempic, right? What do they call, what do they call them? What is example? Majoro? Tri? Zepatide. They're, they're, I guess that's the name. That muscle's not coming back once you strip that muscle away. It ain't coming, man.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
That bothers me, though. That bothers me like I'm like almost, almost a tears like this is my brother or something, you know? Like how you.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, because he seems so happy. We had him on Ocho. He seemed so happy. Like, man, I'll do whatever it takes, you know, whatever they want me to get down to Ocho, he only gonna get down so small. He's six foot five. He is not. I can see Ocho if he was 6 foot 450. He's a ginormous man.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah. I, I, I don't get it. Why did you draft him? What did you think was going to happen? A goddamn mini. A miracle. A miracle in that, that short amount of time from April to drafting him now, before the season, you. How much weight did you expect him to lose in such a short amount of time, especially if you're not allowing to play, if you're on the field practicing, you're going to lose weight, running and doing some of the things that include football activities. I mean, man, I, I, I hope, I hope, I hope they bring him back. I hope they bring him back. I hope they bring him back and put him on some type of program to continue helping him lose weight to where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers see fit to allow him to get on the field and be contributing help.
Shannon Sharpe
It's just, I don't know. I don't, Like I said, I don't know. That'll be something that his team doctor or the NFL medical staff. Whether or not you can take those type of drugs, those inpics, the Majorano, the Tri, Zepatide, something of that nature, I don't know if you can or can't, but look at the people that's on those drugs. Look at the women and look at the men and look at their musculature. Look at their muscle tone. If you don't think it strips the muscle, go look and see.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
And once you strip that muscle, too, it ain't no way to build that back up, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
No, look, look, go look at people that's on those drugs. You could tell. You can tell. There is no, there is no texture to the muscle. It's kind of like Ochoa, you know, as we age, a lot of people, as you age, you lose, not only do you lose elasticity, but you lose that texture. Right? It's like sometimes, like when people, like, eat vegan, when they become vegan or vegetarian, they don't look right. That that animal protein is what give you that.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
You take those shots, look at people, look at those celebrities. Or look at the women, look at the men that take those shots and you tell me, do you believe an NFL player can take those shots and be competitive on the football field? It curbs your appetite, okay? If it curves your appetite, you're not hungry. How do you build muscle? How do you build muscle if you have no appetite? Go ask the bodybuilders. How do you grow? People talk about elephant. He only eats grass. Yeah, but he eats 300 pounds of it. Elephant. I mean, a whale, it eats so much krill. Yes. Yeah, I don't, I get it. So if you're not eating, I want you guys in the chat to tell me, how do you build muscle if you're not eating if you have no appetite. And if you force yourself to eat, it makes you nauseous. If you overeat, it makes you nauseous. He's a big man. He's a giant. The. I think Gibson might have been the largest guy. The offensive lineman that played at Detroit, he might have been the largest man. He's the largest man that I've ever seen in the NFL. I think he's like 380. So he's 70 pounds heavier than the heaviest guy that's ever played in the NFL.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Give it Brown.
Shannon Sharpe
Gilbert Gibble wasn't big as Gibson. What's Aaron Gibson? I think he's from University of Wisconsin. They got me sound like a Wisconsinite. Wisconsin. How big was Gibson? Helly bigger than fridge. £100 bigger than fridge, man.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
The fridge was big too, boy.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, Aaron Gibson was 375. So he's 75 pounds heavier than the heaviest man that's ever played in the NFL.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Now it's, it's, it's, it's.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, G. And Gibson was 66, so he's an inch shorter, but almost 80 pounds heavier.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Hey, they got, they got to be a way though, huh? They got to be a weight. Technology is technology.
Shannon Sharpe
But, but, but here's the thing. Oo what is the weight that you can get him down to?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, I, I don't know.
Shannon Sharpe
Men. Oo you do realize men 400 less. They sumo wrestlers. Sumo wrestlers. Kanahana Achy Bono. But what are they doing? Ocho? They three, four seconds and it's over.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, well, well, hell, shoot D Tackle 3, 4 seconds to play and it's over.
Shannon Sharpe
How many plays he gonna be able to give you, though?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, that's. That sucks. That sucks. You knew, you knew. You knew. You knew. You knew. It was a project similar to Anthony. Anthony Richardson's situation with the Colts.
Shannon Sharpe
I agree.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
You understood what you were getting from him at Florida. You watched film. You gave him a chance. You gave him in, you brought him in, you gave him an opportunity. But you're giving up on the project too soon. I trust, I trust that Buccaneers organization is going to bring him back and do right by Young Bull. I guarantee you. I can feel it. I can feel it. They're going to do right by him. They're going to bring him back.
Shannon Sharpe
For all you people, I just Google yes, Ozempic semaglutide can lead to muscle loss as a side effect of significant weight loss. So all you calm down because everybody thinks they're a doctor. See, the thing Is with me, Ocho, before I really talk about stuff, I like to write.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Right, right.
Shannon Sharpe
You know, glue, tied the major node, the tri. Zepatide.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
You know your stuff.
Shannon Sharpe
Now, Ocho, in order for you to lose weight, that's the thing. Bodybuilders, what do they do? They get really big.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I do, I do.
Shannon Sharpe
And then they strip it down. But they have to lose some muscle. That's why you try to add as much muscle as you possibly can. So when you strip it down, there's still enough there and people can see it. Yeah, but y' all want to be so right, Shannon, you don't know. No, I don't know everything. But what I talk about, I like to research about, to have a general understanding. I've talked to a lot of people about these drugs and the side effects of these drugs. To ask a man that's been. He. He's like, I've been big all my life. Oh, Joe. He probably was. He probably was a 10, 11, 12 pound, 13 pound, baby.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Damn.
Shannon Sharpe
So with that being said, you're asking the man. Okay, he was at one point in time, ocho, he was £500. 500. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, you get him all the way down to three.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Okay, now we talking.
Shannon Sharpe
But you've taken away what he. What made him who he was. That strength.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Damn, man. Some. Some got to give something. Got to give.
Shannon Sharpe
And I hope, I would say I was sad too. And I. I normally. I try to stay. I try to stay out of my emotions when it comes to guys and try not to get detached. But I like the dude. I mean, I could see. I could see when we had him on Ocho, he was so excited. He was so excited, man. I'm gonna get an opportunity to live out my dream to play in the NFL. I said, so what? What did they told? They say they hadn't told me to wait, but I'll do whatever they asked me to do. And I believe he did. But at some point in time, Ocho, when you that size, you have to eat a certain amount of food just to be able to function.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
He gotta breathe, he gotta get up, he gotta. He gotta be alert. So you have to eat a certain amount of calories.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Damn, man.
Shannon Sharpe
Theoretically, you're supposed to be able to eat 10. 10, what is it? 10 calories per body pound and be functioning. And so me, I could eat 2500 calories. And if I don't do a whole lot, that's. I can function. Now just think if I were to do Cardio, I do 30 minutes, I do hour, hour cardio, I'm gonna have to increase that or I'm going to lose weight. So if he could eat 10 calves per body pound, Ocho, he could eat over 4,000 calories. Do you know what 4,000 calories do to the average man? First of all, if you eating nutritious, you couldn't eat it all. You'd have to eat around the clock. Now, see, I'm not, I'm not telling what somebody told you. You're talking to somebody that's actually eating around the clock, that set his alarm, that when I go to bed in two and a half hours, I'm gonna wake my black ass up and go in the kitchen and eat. And guess what, Ocho, after I eat, I'm gonna go back to bed and I'm gonna sit it again for another two and a half to three hours and get my black ass up again.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
And go, okay, we, we on the same, we on the same type of.
Shannon Sharpe
Regimen to eat that much, to eat that amount of. See, now if you eating burgers, are you eating fried food like that? It ain't nothing to get no calories. You get to get 3,000, 4,000 calories. But when you eating chicken, turkey, ground beef, lean cuts, you getting broccoli, you getting carrots, you getting rice, it is a be to eat that amount of food. I'm not telling you what somebody told me. I'm telling you what I know. I'm talking about from firsthand experience. When OO and I talk to you about football related stuff. We're not talking secondhand stuff. We're not talking about what somebody told us. We, we talk about what we telling you what we know, what we lived. So now I know everybody, everybody on the Internet now, they were a coach, they were a general manager, they were a professional athlete, they were a lawyer, they were a banker. They were something. Whatever you were, that's what you were. But I'm telling you what, this medicine and the people that I've talked to, and I know people that have taken it, and their bodies are not the same. Now you asking a man that's £450, I feel bad, and I don't normally feel bad because Ocho is not. It's it. And I hate using the term fair because everybody dream is not going to come. The gift that they want to give to themselves is not going to become a reality. It's not going to come to fruition. But it was something about him that Made me like, damn, I sure hope this kid can get his weight down. I was thinking if he got it down under 430. But Ocho, do you understand, like, it doesn't take much to lose? I mean, because a lot of it's water weight. Yes. Once you get past that initial water bait. And probably he got like 30, because that's why it was easy for him to go to from 500 to 4. I think he played 470, then he waited to combine it for his Pro Day at464, and now he's 449. Now you got to get to the nuts and bolts. That's a b.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
That's a damn, man.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, you would literally. I mean, you literally have to starve him. You literally have to starve him, Ocho. And he couldn't play. Couldn't.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I'm optimistic. I think they're gonna bring you back.
Shannon Sharpe
Huh? I'm not. I'm not saying they won't. Normally, I like to see guys get to at least the last cut that they're more apt to bring him. You know, I'm saying Ocho and he made it to the last cut. But the thing is. Oo. He didn't. He didn't play in any games. But. And this is why I agree with you, it's like, bro, you know, he was a project. You know, he was huge. What made you think you're going to be. How much. What you thought you was going to be? Normally when people lose 100 pounds, it takes them a year or 50 pounds or 75 pounds, it takes them a year. Not no damn six weeks. Yeah. I mean, you lose. You lose. You lose 50, 60, 70 pounds in six weeks. You either on crack or you got AIDS. I'm sorry, but I'm not trying to be funny, guys, but I'm just saying to lose that kind of weight in that amount of time, there's something seriously wrong. And there's nothing wrong with him. He's just a big man. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with him, Ocho. He's a big man. And we understand the risk of somebody his size in the sun in Tampa. We understand that.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, Joe, it's hot, boy.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes. And I'm glad now, because back when you and I was growing up, they had their ass out there running gases and suicides.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, they gonna. They gonna get that weight up off of him. They gonna get it up off of them. But now, obviously, the NFL protecting themselves after being sued a few times, The Tampa B Buccaneers obviously protecting Themselves as well as, as well. Not wanting any issue.
Shannon Sharpe
No, you don't want that. You don't want that. Oo, but I just don't, I just don't know. In the amount of time that they gave him, how much weight did they think he was going to lose? That's the, that's, that's my, that's my only thing. I appreciate them giving him the opportunity, but how much weight a man his size. And let's say they went to camp in the middle of July and here we are damn near at the end of August, so let's just say five weeks. How much weight did you. He lost 15 pounds. I think that's good.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
It is hell.
Shannon Sharpe
Normally they say if you can lose a pound. What is a pound a week, Jordan? I think you lose a pound a week.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
That's great.
Shannon Sharpe
He lost three pounds a week.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
He'd be back. Yeah, he'd be back.
Shannon Sharpe
But Ocho, he has to eat so much to. Just to live.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, you gotta fight.
Shannon Sharpe
He has to drink a certain amount of water just to live. He's not, he's not a normal man. He's not a normal man that's walking around £200, £185 or whatever you, whatever the size of normal man is. He's twice the size of an average man.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
You gotta find a happy medium. You gotta.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, but, but how, but, but, but that. Okay, what's the medium?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, I don't know.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, so. Because in order to get the weight off, you got to do a certain, A certain level of exercise, you got to do a certain level of weight training, and you have to eat. Obviously you have to be on a caloric deficit. So if it's 10 calories per body, pounds, theoretically, he could eat 4, 600 pounds. Well, obviously you got to keep him way up under that, but you got to gradually back him down. You can't say, okay, you can't eat with 3,000 calories.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
And I, I think you'll be able to do it. He'll be able to do it because he wants his bad. He wants his.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, you're gonna have to give, you're gonna have to give him a year. Which is why I like that.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Which is why.
Shannon Sharpe
But I like the fact if he's there, because remember, Ocho, when they used, they used to suspend, suspend players and they wouldn't let you come to the facility, they wouldn't let you be around the players. But what they found out, that drove them further and further away. Now you force them into even Worse habits. If they had a habit, they're not. Can't be around their teammates now. They do more destructive things. So in order for them to get him in the kind of shape that they want, they feel that he can help them, they would literally need to have him around or. And says, okay, or send him to the Duke Medical Clinic. I think they have a weight loss center up there. Send him somewhere and says, okay, son, we're gonna give you a year. You need to get to X number. I don't. Whatever number is, but I'm saying that's the only way I think it's gonna happen.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
And I. I hope this. I hope this doesn't discourage him either. I hope he sees this, you know, and some of the. Some of the stuff that we've been. We've been. We've been saying tonight and I. Please, brother Desmond, don't allow this to discourage you, but only make you stronger. Give you a little bit of motivation. Give you a little bit of motivation, you know? Damn, man. It's crazy.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he's a big Eljo. He's a big man. Big man. I mean. I mean, I'm. I used to. Could eat Ocho. I used to eat a lot. I can't eat like I used to.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
No.
Shannon Sharpe
But I'm also damn near 60. He. 23, 24. Do you know how much you could eat when you were in your 20s?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Young?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, man, I take down the whole buffet. You don't come here no more. You said buffet. You say $20. I can eat as much as I want.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
You eat up all the people.
Shannon Sharpe
It's. Man, that's tough. Come on, dance. You can do it, bro. You can do it. How bad do you want to be on an NFL team? How bad do you want to put that uniform on and go out there on that field and make a tackle? I don't. I don't care. Dance. I would love for you to have a long career, but if you can just put that uniform on one time and go out there and have them call your name because you made a tackle. Come on, dance. Nightcap. We rooting for you.

Malcolm Gladwell
Malcolm Gladwell here. I recently recorded the first episode of Smart Talks with IBM where I learned how AI agents are joining AI assistance as a major productivity tool. Let's start with AI agents. AI agents can reason, plan and collaborate with other AI tools to autonomously perform tasks for a user. Brian Bitzel, an expert from IBM, gave me an example of how a college freshman might use an AI agent As a new student.
IBM Expert
You may not know how do I deal with my health and wellness issue? How many credits am I going to get for this given class? You could talk to someone and find out some of that, but maybe it's a little bit sensitive and you don't.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Want to do that.
Malcolm Gladwell
Bissell told me you could build an AI agent, a resource for new students that helps them navigate a new campus, register for classes, access the services they need, and even schedule appointments on their behalf, which in turn buys them more time to focus on their actual schoolwork.
IBM Expert
We can see patterns of how agents and assistants can help employees and customers and end users be more productive, automate workflows so they're not doing certain types of repetitive work, work over and over again and streamlining their lives and making data more accessible to them 24 hours a day.

Absolutely. You got to understand the connection that's down there. That Florida connection is down in Las Vegas right now. You got Geno Smith, Miramar Patriot quarterback. You got Amari Cooper, superstar, legendary Dade County, Miami, Northwestern with Teddy Bridgewater. Went on Teddy Bridgewater. I mean listen, legendary wide receivers from Miami, Northwestern, that Florida connection, they gonna do, they gonna work magic. Obviously you have Brock Bowers who's gonna probably get the bulk of the.
Shannon Sharpe
I think he went to img.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Who? Brock Bowers.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he did, I think. Isn't he from Florida?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, I. I don't know. I don't know. I know one thing. Gino gonna get that ball he's from Cali Napa.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, he from Cal.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Okay, you heard me. I say Gino Smith gonna get cooped that goddamn ball. I know that.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, hell, if. If Jacoby Myers is unhappy that play, he ain't got no choice. It's either Cooper, Brock Bauer.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, but, but I, I think, you know, I understand Jacobe's frustration.
Shannon Sharpe
Frustration.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I, I totally. I totally get it. But the way you value yourself, the way you see and value yourself, the teams don't see you like that because you see as soon as the headlines hit about you want to trade. You see how fast they made that call? You see how fast they made that call? Oh, that's what you want to do? Okay. Bet. Hold my be.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, they already. Hey, they already got about four or five receivers lined up because they say okay in case this goes sideways.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, yeah. And they bringing in a good one now. They be coup ain't no goddamn slouch. Amari Cooper was at one time one of the better rock runners in the NFL. I'm talking about top five. I ain't talking about no slouch. I'm talking about up there with devonte. Up there with devonte Adams, with the Hunter windows. Oh, yeah, up there. What? Well, he could put them up and put them down like no other now, man.
Shannon Sharpe
Man, I can't even believe, man. Dude been in the league for like, 11 years old. Cool.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
A.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
A good 11, too. I don't know why Jerry let him go. Jerry, we're tripping.
Shannon Sharpe
I, I, I like this deal. I like this deal for Coop. I'm surprised that he was available this long. Maybe the asking price was a little higher than what teams wanted to play. Plus, Ocho, you know, you get 30, man, they'd be looking at you funny. I don't care what type of numbers you put up, because I remember them having the same conversation about devonte Adams. Man, he done slow, man. The man just had a hundred damn catches. But you know, he ain't breaking away like he once did, bro. Stop it. 30 is not. 30 is. You're not over the heel. But they've convinced. They've convinced. They have convinced themselves. They convinced their fan base that if it once a guy reaches 30, unless he's a quarterback, his best years are behind him. Yeah, only the quarterback will. They say his best years are in front of him once he reaches the age of 30. Everybody else.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, that's how they do you, huh? That's how they do you. That is how they do you. It's gonna be some nice magic over there in Vegas, though, bro. I can see it now. Touchdown Gino Smith to Amari Cooper for 72 yards. Oh, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Day county connection.
Shannon Sharpe
Texas running back Joe Mixon won't be activated from non football injury list by Tuesday's deadline, making him ineligible to play at least the first four weeks of the season. Ocho, due to an ankle injury mixing who had an ankle injury will be moved to the reserve non football injury list. Did he hurt the ankle in practice or this was something coming off the off season?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, that's a good question. Did I. Did he have surgery? Did he have surgery or no. Or just he got hurt early in camp?
Shannon Sharpe
Must have got hurt in camp.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Well, hey, listen, you know they got brother Chubb over there too now. They got brother Chubb over there too now. They. They not gonna miss a beat at that position they're not gonna miss a beat at that position depending on how. How much better Nick Chubb is feeling after reconstructive surgery of that knee. Gonna tote that thing.
Shannon Sharpe
Damn.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
What happened?
Shannon Sharpe
He said he. He hasn't practiced during training camp and he's been battling in this off season. Why didn't he have surgery? Was it not. Was it still from that hip drop tackle? Because remember Ocho, he got hip drop tackle last year.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I don't know. I don't know if it's from that. But Chub, Nikki, Chubby, let's go, boy. You gotta carry load.
Shannon Sharpe
I'll be here. I mean, I hear some. Some reports say he doesn't look the same. He ain't cutting. He not the burst is not there. Then others says that he looks fine. So I don't know what to say. Hey, without us being there, Ocho, to see it for our own eyes, it's hard to know what.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
What's real and what's what's not unless you get. Unless you're able to see it. Because every. They report any goddamn thing.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I definitely, I definitely would. I definitely need to see for myself to get up like. Okay, well, three year Ghost Chubb, he got through that. He got through that crack. I mean, obviously you're gonna have somewhere in terror. I mean, you're running back.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Absolutely.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, maybe one of the best thing to happen to Saquon is that he got injured that year. He was able not to have 300 hits on his damn body. Today. Dak told repair told reporters that the team's offense will provide some fireworks and they've been saving Their best stuff for the regular season. An exciting offense. We've kept it vanilla for a reason. Excited about getting out there and putting it all on display next Thursday. Ocho, are you expecting fireworks from the. From the Cowboys? Off.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I told you that. That's the only exciting thing to watch. That is the only exciting thing to watch come, what, nine days from now, eight, seven days from now, whatever it may be. I'm holding in to see the Dallas Cowboys offense, mainly George Pickens. They gonna put up numbers that can. Gonna put up numbers. He's going to put up numbers through the air. That's not the problem. That's never been the problem. The problem is on the other side of the ball. That's the problem. And not only that, you ain't got your best player on your team. The owner don't even want to pay him. But if there's anything. As a Cowboy fan, I know I have some of y' all in the chat. If you're a football fan in general, even if you're not a fan of the Cowboys, hell, you're gonna be tuned in Thursday night. I want to see CG Lamb and George Picking go crazy, you know, and then AJ Brown and devontae Smith on the other side of the ball go crazy. We already know what Saquon gonna do. The goddamn. The goddamn Cowboys ain't got no defense. He might go for goddamn 200 esp. Especially if sticks ain't playing. If Sticks ain't playing, ain't no telling. Saquan might have 300 to open the season.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, who gonna guard. Who gonna guard them receivers? Because I. I don't know. Is Diggs. Is Diggs gonna be able to start the season?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Well, that's a good question. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Damn. I'm. I'm not sure.
Shannon Sharpe
Cause that offensive line. Good luck.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Hey.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, Dickerson. Look, we don't know the extent of Dickerson. He said he was going to try. Landon was going to try to get back. We don't know if he's going to make it all the way back. But, boy, them tackles. My Lotta and Lane Johnson, they ain't to be f. With. You better be on your best behavior.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
It gonna take heaven and hell.
Shannon Sharpe
Lane come out there. He coming. That thing.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Hey, it's gonna take Heaven down on it. Trying to get rid of boys.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah. My lot of what, 6, 8, 3, 40?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Stupid.
Shannon Sharpe
Lane Johnson is. Is. Is angular. He. He's not. He's not a whole lot of bricks in his back pocket. But boy, would that joke a kick out there. And he locked down.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
And don't. And don't listen. Don't let him get hands on you first.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah. Trayvon Digg doesn't feel he has any limitations. After training on his own, pushing for week one return, he did pass his physical, so hopefully they gave me 500 bands back.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Give it, man. We talk about Jerry, man. He don't care, man. Hey, listen, that game is gonna be exciting. I'm just. A lot think about it.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, he's gonna do. It's gonna do a crazy number. It's gonna do. I can see that game doing 30, 30, 35.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I mean, we talk. We talk about number. I'm talking about. I'm talking about the players. Keon Mitchell, CD Lamb, Kuba Dejon, George Pickins. I mean. I mean. Oh, man, that's. It's gonna be fireworks. It definitely gonna be fireworks. And I like the words that Dakot used. You know, the firework gonna be. You know, offensively, I don't know if they're going to win the game.
Shannon Sharpe
Boy, look here, Kel, quarterbacks don't be saying nothing. How many times, how many times we'd have heard Dax say this about this offense?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Well, often they always put up numbers. Now.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. For the other team, them pick sixes. We gonna see. I see better than I hear. We gonna see because the Eagles ain't no slouch. And I. I don't think Fangio. I don't think Fangio gonna let that defense have a hangover. Talk about what they did to the super bowl and all that other stuff. Cause that ain't got nothing to do. That's not what we did in the Super Bowl. Ain't gonna help us win opening night. And guess what, Ocho, we went over tonight. We got 10 days before we play another game. Hey, I see you boys. Hey, you know what?

They can't help you. I like it. He talked.

Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, man, oh, man.
Shannon Sharpe
But I, I, I, I think for me, Ocho, I miss college more Than I miss the pros because of the intimacy of it. Because they're like. The fans are, like, right there on, you know, those small, black hbcu. They right there on you. And, you know, they talking reckless, the fans. Talking reckless. Like what? Nothing. Nothing today. Sharp. I'm leaving with more catches than I came with. That's all I know.

I wish I had my grades together coming out of high school because I would have been that fam. There's a reason I had to go to Langston. Huh? I couldn't even get into fam. Langston was one of the few schools that actually accepted me with them badass grades I had growing up. There's a reason, fam. You made me an ambassador. Because I've been showing love to the school since got 19. Since 19 goddamn 92. I just never had the opportunity to go there. But my love and passion for the school is still there because that's where I always wanted to be, you know? So just if I. If. Hypothetically speaking, if I can go back and had eligibility.

Malcolm Gladwell
Malcolm Gladwell here. I recently recorded the first episode of Smart Talks with IBM where I learned how AI agents are joining AI assistants as a major productivity tool. Let's start with AI agents. AI agents can reason, plan and collaborate with other AI tools to autonomously perform tasks for a user. Brian Bitzel, an expert from IBM, gave me an example of how a college freshman might use an AI agent.
IBM Expert
As a new student, you may not know how do I deal with my health and wellness issue? How do I How many credits am I going to get for this given class? You could talk to someone and find out some of that, but maybe it's a little bit sensitive and you don't.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Want to do that.
Malcolm Gladwell
Bissell told me. You could build an AI Agent, a resource for new students that helps them navigate a new campus, register for classes, access the services they need, and even schedule appointments on their behalf, which in turn buys them more time to focus on their actual schoolwork.
IBM Expert
We can see patterns of how agents and assistants can help employees and customers and end users be more productive. Automate workflows so they're not doing certain types of repetitive work over and over again and streamlining their lives and making data more accessible to them 24 hours a day.

We start school when? When, Ben? Tomorrow. No slides. If I see you with. I'm gonna send people to campus tomorrow. If I see you with slides on campus, it's gonna be a problem. If I see you with a hoodie on in class or some headphones on in class, it's gonna be a problem. If I see you sitting in the back of the classroom, it's gonna be a problem. Do we understand that? And if you're online and you have online classes and you don't have a shirt on or you got a wife beat on, or you have something stupid on that causes a distraction, or you walk around during that online session, it's gonna be a problem. We good with that, guys?

You're gonna have to conduct yourself like this in the real world. Why not start now? Why not start now? If you don't make it to the NFL, whatever corporation, whatever entity you work for, you're not gonna be able to go in there with no goddamn.
Shannon Sharpe

But everybody that's in that meeting room ain't gonna be in an NFL meeting room where you can wear hoodies, where.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
You can wear slides, wear your earphones, everything prime is teaching them young fellas right now, it all comes down to one thing. Discipline. Yep, discipline. The one thing that's going to carry you in life forever, regardless of what you try to do, whether you make it to the NFL, whether it's the corporate world or whatever respective craft you choose and are passionate about. If you have discipline, you're going to succeed no matter what it is you decide to do.

I ain't know that.
Shannon Sharpe
I know you did okay, but that. That whole. See that old country country secret Curry Cleaners on 1310 Easter Ren Avenue, as a matter of fact, they had a little alteration shop. It'd be about five black ladies in there. Oh, sure, I used to go there. I dropped my clothes off. I would go over there and just talk to them ladies for hours.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Damn, man.
Shannon Sharpe
Even. Even when I went to the league and came back, my first three years I stayed in Savannah. Then I was like, man, I need. I got to get up out of Savannah. I gotta. I gotta move. I gotta go somewhere a little bigger. But I would go. I would drop my clothes off. I was still there with Them ladies and talk to them ladies for hours.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, man.
Shannon Sharpe
All right, Gotta go. You, you just got here. Just got here. I've been here for an hour. Two hours. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, I was, you know, I, I, my brother say, man, dude, anybody. I, I never wore Swartz sweats to class. Always jeans eyes on shirt. Polo. Always crease jeans. Friday always collar shirt. Always.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)

Shannon Sharpe

Shannon Sharpe
They had Jabot. They had, they had Calvin Klein, they had Lee, they had Levi's, they had Sergey. Rigoletto was kind of like when I was in high school. Yeah, but they had Jabot was like, kind of like I was in the league.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Okay, you was in the league, Man. Listen, at Langston, there's a, a huge community of, of, of students from Chicago. They had every color of Jabot's. Man, I, I'd never forget. Oh, man, it was a time. It was the time.
Shannon Sharpe
And you know what had just came out when I got to college like my sophomore year? Tommy Hilfiger.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, Tommy. Hey, Tommy. And Polo says here in Miami was big boy the little obsessed with the shorts with a little polo with a three button shirt.
Shannon Sharpe
Yep. But I was young. I was sharp. Sharp that, hey, no pun intended, but your boy was sharp.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Damn, I remember that.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Joe Gilly called you out for being a glizzy gladiator. He wrote one thing Ocho gonna do is he gonna be a glizzy gladiator everywhere. Check this out.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
What do you got? What do you got? He got me eating hot dog.
Shannon Sharpe
Man. Gilly crazy. Hey.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, he put me with the hot dogs in my pocket.
Shannon Sharpe
That's a cu, isn't it?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Hey, one thing I do like. I know, listen, the times and the errors we in now. They said about, oh, glizzies, who eating hot dogs? And man, I don't care nothing about that. But wherever I go, I go to any sporting event. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer games. I'm getting my two hot dogs, a small popcorn and a Coke with no ice. I don't care who see me eating my hot dogs. I'm eating my two hot dogs.
Shannon Sharpe
You act like that was dry. Did you have ketchup?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I don't need no condiments on. I eat everything. I eat everything plain because I don't put nothing on. You know what? When I eat. So I don't need nothing on my hot dog. You hear me? Yeah. Listen, I. I eat everything plain as is. All the condiments I need. They come within my system. Yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
I had no. I. Look, it's not that I had no glizzy, all that stuff. I just haven't eaten a hot dog in probably two days.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I'm. I tell you, no lie. You don't know what you're missing. And sometimes, you know what? Sometimes if it's too many people around, I break the hot dog off, right? And I shake it like some dice. Then I just throw it in my mouth real quick, you know?
Shannon Sharpe
I want some. Now. You know, now you got me thinking, I want some nachos. I might go to the movie just to get some nachos.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Did you see Higher Thing?
Shannon Sharpe
My. I saw Michael walking into the eating nachos.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Hold on. The new movie. Well.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, you talk about lowest.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I saw it, man. It was good. You saw it? Yeah. Listen, I went. I went to the movie theater with. With. With the missus, had two hot dogs and a small popcorn in my Coke. Lowe's was good. It was good.
Shannon Sharpe
How much. How much popcorn cost at the movies now?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, that's a good question. Huh? That's a good question. I was treated to the movie, so I'm not sure what the price is. That's a good question. It shouldn't be that much, though, because I normally get.
Shannon Sharpe
I normally get, like. I get. I get like, a Diet Coke or an icy popcorn. And Twizzlers.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Twizzlers? Oh, man, you tripping, man. Listen, you. You could at least said Raisinets.
Shannon Sharpe
Twizzler, man, don't be no damn rais.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
No Rais. Man, you. Man, you ain't. You ain't living right, man. You ain't living right. What's the point of going to the movies and you and. And getting Twizzlers? Nobody eats.
Shannon Sharpe
If I will, if I go, if I was gonna get. If I gonna get, like, candy. Candy, it'll probably be Reese's Pieces.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Okay, Okay. I can live with that. I can live with that. I can live with that. But not no Twizzler. Swizzle is nasty. It's like eating candle wax.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm trying to think. I'm trying. I think last time I went to the movies, is popcorn more than $7, $6, 5.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
It ain't that bad. You just got to go to the matinee. Go to the matinee.
Shannon Sharpe
Because I think our last time I went, I think popcorn was like, $5. $6 is more than that. 12. For who?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
For what? You got to go to the matinee, Uncle. The price is not the same at the matinee. And even, you know, you.
Shannon Sharpe
They still have. Do hold up. They still have dollar matinee.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
No, I don't know about dollar, but you can use your AARP card.
Shannon Sharpe
I do?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah. Use your arp.
Shannon Sharpe
How much. How much is a matinee now?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I mean, for me, I use my ARP card. So it was like. It was like. Like $10.
Shannon Sharpe
Because I used to go to. What's that? I pick. Oh, that movie was like 22.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Now, see, you going to. I pick. Of course, you're gonna have to pay for the amenities and what you're about to get. That's different. I go right. I go right here off of Sheridan. I go right here off of Sheridan. Or I go right here by Pembroke Lakes Mall. It's an amc right there.

Listen, I think I probably won't. I could. I'm tell you what. I'm gonna tell you what. What I'm doing with my winnings. I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do with my winnings.
Shannon Sharpe
What you gonna do first if you want. 750 million. Oh, yeah. How much is that? If you take a lump sum in Florida? Because it varies. Because if you. In California, you got to pay state tax. Some states have state tax. So if you took a lump sum, 750 million in Florida.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do with mine right now. How much it is? It's probably four and some change. Watch.
Shannon Sharpe

Nice. Four.
Shannon Sharpe
390.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
390.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Boom. That's perfect. So, boom, let's say, hypothetically speaking, well, I'm probably gonna win anyway, so I didn't check my numbers yet, but the first. My first thing is I'm gonna be minority owner and player for Napoli, my favorite team in Italy. Right? Then I'm gonna buy into the Dolphins as well. Minority, A huge stake in the Dolphins.
Shannon Sharpe
You're not gonna buy no huge steak in the Dolphins?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, the owner.
Shannon Sharpe
No, how much? How much? What percentage? The Dolphins are valued at about like 67 billion, so 10% is 700 million.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I don't Know, I'm So.
Shannon Sharpe
You must be gonna talk about a minority. You must be talking about a 2%.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
That's fine. That's fine. Just so I can walk through it like. Like I'm part of it. And then for those. For those I have kids from, I'm gonna give them a huge chunk. Right, right. Give them a huge chunk. Those that have kids from, then they gone.
Shannon Sharpe
They grown now. What about the ones that's grown?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)

Listen, y', all, boom. Y' all done a hell of a job. Y' all go out there, enjoy yourself, have you some fun. Beam. Me and the kids, we gonna start a show with just me and the kids. We gonna start our own show. And that's. That's pretty much it. Yeah, I think. I think that's a great idea. And then, you know. You know how I'm. I'm a philanthropist, and I. I love. I love to get back. Obviously, I'm gonna get back. I'm not. I'm not gonna announce it. I think my tips. You know how I tip. I tip a thousand dollars every month ago.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
So I'm gonna add a zero to all my tips.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get me and my financial people make sure we all.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yes, sir.
Shannon Sharpe
Then I got an endowment for Savannah Steen. Then all the kids, my brother. I'm gonna go ahead and break him off, because, like, when I. When I. When I. When I. When I. When it's time for me to go ahead and meet the maker, I don't want to have to give nothing away. Everything gonna be already taken care of way before then, so nobody ain't gonna be griping about nothing about this. Everybody gonna be done had. Got what they're gonna get. Then I say, you know what, Ocho? Ocho, we had a great run. Ocho leaving, but it's time. It's time for me to hand it off to you. It's the Ocho, and it's the Ocho and Joe show. Come on, man.

Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
No.
Shannon Sharpe
That's the only thing I really hate about being out here, Ocho. Dick, you can't buy no lottery, no playing, no power stuff. No.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Oh, oh, oh. I know why. I know why. I know why. Yeah. Damn. Oh, that was good. That was funny.
Shannon Sharpe
All right, Ocho, Time flew by. It's time for our final segment. It's time for Q Tonight was good.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
But God damn, that was good. You know what's funny? Hey, Chad, watch. I'm gonna check the numbers because I played. No, I don't. I don't. I don't really gamble or play, but I took a chance. I'm telling you, when I check these numbers tonight, I guarantee I won that Powerball. Watch.
Shannon Sharpe
I sure hope you won.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm telling you now.
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho, they posed. Somebody posed a great question. Nick Mars says, who gets paid first? Micah from Jerry or Unc from Ocho? Micah. Micah. Go get paid for Unc.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Listen, as long as I owe you, just know you never go broke. You never go broke. Long as I owe you.
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho. Jamal, the singer said, ocho, when you get that money, said Marvin Sapp, 40,000 so he can let us out this church. We still in here.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Hey, I forgot all about that. That's a good one.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Oh, I forgot. Yeah. My uncle. My uncle. I got an uncle that's a pastor. So I'm gonna break it. Break the church up.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. Aaron or Jayla Hurst is too low in the NFL top 100. He should have been at least no lower than 12, in my opinion. I didn't see it. So they had the top. So what are they, 15? So you looking at Saquon Lamar? Oh, well, that's what. That's what his. His peers voted about. I mean, happens. Y' all say y' all want peers to vote. The peers vote. Then you say, that's too low. You say play when. When the media does it. The media don't know what they talking about. So I. I don't know. Vin Hoffman. Tyreek is still best receiver in the NFL. Revenge coming.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah, I can see that. As long as Tua stays upright, as long as tour stays up. Right. Tyreek is going to pick up exactly where he left off before Tua got hurt in the previous two seasons when Tua was healthy. I can see that happen because Tyreek is not slowing down anytime soon.
Shannon Sharpe
English bank says, I watch you consistently. Deshawn's not playing like you sharp stradamas, but he's already running full speed and throwing love. Y' all keep rocking. I still don't believe he playing this year. That boy, whatever your name is, bro, I know about billable hours, too. Just finished buying my wife's Kendra Tickets to Colorado vs. Georgia Tech game for her birthday. That passed yesterday. And paying for my daughter's first preschool tuition. Yeah, that ad. They add up. They add up. I mean, tuition and this and that, but you're doing a great job. She's gonna love you that she gets to go to Colorado. Georgia Tech Rose TV one say, how is it going through Baltimore and Lamar never been to the bowl.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
All I know is let him know.
Shannon Sharpe
Lamar is 7 and 1 against the Bengals.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Let him know.
Shannon Sharpe
All I know is Lamar is 7 to 1 against the Bengals. I don't know. I didn't know the bangles.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
I know that.
Shannon Sharpe
What y' all do. Y' all were excited.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
We've been. We've been there. Y' all Ain't been there. Y' all ain't been there.
Shannon Sharpe
The Ravens went twice.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
And we talk about. We talk about. We talk about now. We talk about now.
Shannon Sharpe
Now.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm a flat. Says Ocho won't eat Twizzles, but eat feet. True.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Yes. And. And whoever that is, you just said that the fact that you don't partake in sucking of the feet. Not eating sucking of the feet. Using ice, whipped cream, hot syrup. Like what? I mean, how are you living. How are you living if you're not using all the. All the amenities that you have at your disposal in the kitchen, huh? Come on, man. Hey, by my tutorial. By my tutorial on YouTube on how to, you know, have some fun and spice it up.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, put it on Patreon and get it. Get it off here. Dulo Gante, glad Trey got his money. But, Ocho, that defense is cooked. The bingo's gonna be on Galveston beach in February. Like Charles Barkley say.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Y' all see, y' all to see.
Shannon Sharpe
Tyler Hamilton. You and my pops played one another. I guess that's what he said. Millard Hob Milton. I'm trying to think. Millard Hamilton. That's his name. Tyler Hamilton. Tyler Hamilton. Name doesn't sound familiar. Joe X. Black, to your point about eating to build muscle. My powerlifting coach, Ben told me, you gotta to get big. You do. That's how you grow. Pat Dubs, when you gonna have Leo on Nightcap? Man, I don't even know, man. Look, I don't even know if Leo's still alive, man. But I'm, you know.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Hey, that story was funny as hell.
Shannon Sharpe
Boy, I need to get high seat on here. One of my teammates, they were from the same hometown. Sandersville High seat. High C would know where he's at. Where he's at. Maybe. Big Daddy might. Ford might know. I'm gonna call. I'm gonna call. I'm gonna get in touch with him. Leah ain't got no equipment. I don't even know if he got a phone, but I don't even know if he got a phone. But I tell you what, I'm gonna find him. I'm gonna find him. If he's alive and well, I'll find it. Hurrah. Kiffle. Will you ever consider Ocho as a Hall of Famer? Players gotten with less. Check the numbers and put some respect on it. I don't decide. Ain't got no vote.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Okay, Got no vote. I decide. That's why I put my own jacket on. I decided I inducted Myself, one on one.
Shannon Sharpe
Deshaun Allen says, what's up, Uncle Nocho? My question is which game? Whether you realize it's time to hang the cleats up. I was going to come back and play year 15. I was in some of the best. And I know people say this all the time, Ocho, but I was in phenomenal shape. I took a picture. It's on my wall. But I was. I'm talking about. I was peeled. I was too. I was going. I was going to probably report the camp because as a matter of fact, they had camp. They started camping that Wednesday. I did the photo shoot that Friday. So I was about 2:27. I was 227. Ish. I'm talking about. Look here, like a Clinton email waste disappeared. Go joke. So I was going to come back for year 15 until, you know, CBS asked me would I be interested in being on the panel around the desk.
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
And.
Shannon Sharpe
But Even in year 14, Ocho, what I started to notice, I couldn't do it like I once could. I could have that monster game, but then the next two to three games gonna be so. So I just couldn't put it together back to back to back like I once could. And I was like, damn. I mean, I bet I felt fine. I really did, Ocho. And I looked fine, but the body, man, it just wouldn't respond like I needed it to. And then once you come to the realization, is there anything that I could do to change people's perception of Shannon? Someone's gonna like me. Some weren't. I had all the accomplishment. I had Pro Bowls, had all pros, had Super Bowls. I was all decade first. So. So what? So if I called another 50 passes, if I caught another 800 yards, if I had another 10 touchdowns, if I wanted not super bowl, that wasn't gonna change anybody. They weren't gonna think I was any better because I had four Super Bowls instead of three. I had another. I had 11, 50 catch seasons, which was a record at the time. So if I had another one 12. They think I was better now because I had 12 instead of 11? No. Then once you start looking at it like that, Ocho, for me, that was good. That was good. And it just. It just got, you know, they, you know, I just got tired of. Man. Hey, come on. Get in here. Study. Come on, guys. Come on, man. Let's practice. It started. I had started to phase out. Guys started to tune you out. They didn't take it serious enough for me. Oh, so I'm. Man, you know when it comes to the job, the work at hand. Look, play. Hey, I like to play, too. But. But when it comes to work, Ocho, we got to get to work. Understand why we here? Why are we here? Why are we here?
Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)
Got to keep the main thing. The main thing.
Shannon Sharpe
That's it, bro. What? You what? Let me ask you a question. Why do you think you here? And it just. Just my time to let it go, Ocho. Just my time to let it go. And that's okay.
