Joining us now, the founder of London Entertainment, a management and production company shaping the sound and direction of modern hip hop. Here he is, London, bro. Hold on. Where is it at, Dre? Okay, here it is right here. Dre, what's going on, bro?
Dre London
Yo, what's going on, Shay? What's going on?
Chad Ochocinco
My guy?
Shannon Sharpe
You good?
Chad Ochocinco
I'm great. How are you?
Dre London
I'm doing wonderful, man. Can't complain. We're alive. We woke up this morning, you know. A lot of people didn't wake up this morning, you know?
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, yeah.
Dre London
Wake up this morning, shout out to my guy, Ocho, Cinco.
Chad Ochocinco
How are you, bro?
Shannon Sharpe
I'm good.
Dre London
Both.
Shannon Sharpe
How's everything?
Dre London
Beautiful. Can't complain, man. I woke up this morning, I got a chance to hustle another day, you know.
Shannon Sharpe
There we go. I like it.
Chad Ochocinco
So hold on. You. You grew up in Brixton, uk, made your way to nyc, no connections, you built you up. When people say I'm self made, that's you. You are self made. You came here. I don't know how many people you could share your story. How many people did you know? Anybody in New York where you have family, have friends, you had loved ones. So how did you. How did you get from there to here?
Dre London
So my family are of Jamaican origin. I came from Brixton, South London, where during an era called the Windrush era, my grandparents came over on the boats. I can't even. I don't even know what type of boat it was at that era. But my grandparents came over in the 60s to the UK after World War II.
Chad Ochocinco
Okay.
Dre London
Enough to clean up the streets and do the jobs that the people who lived there didn't want to do after that. My mom was born and then I was born. So I came from uk. Bricks in a. I wouldn't want to say. Let's just say today it might be gentrified, but it was like Harlem of the world, if that makes sense.
Chad Ochocinco
Yes, it does.
Dre London
Private was like the Harlem of the UK came up and I just wanted to get out of there. I know this sounds crazy. Harlem's nice because Harlem's in Manhattan. It's at the top. I'm not saying Harlem's nice for anyone. There's different sides to Harlem, but like, if you could picture that kind of thing in London, grits, grime, horrible. How the hell you getting out of there? I just. I don't know. I just had a. Had a thing in my head that I couldn't. I didn't want to be hitting the ceiling back in the day in the uk. Like, I couldn't even name black millionaires. That might sound crazy to you guys. Yes. Today, of course, years later, the world has changed. But back in the day, though, I couldn't. If you name me one, I notice you guys, none of you can name me one. Black British born billionaire. So it's still going on today, if that makes sense. You can name black billionaires in America, but you can't name me a British black born billionaire. So, like, I felt like I was hitting the ceiling when I was there. And I felt like it's a bigger world. So I left in 2008, moved to New York. I had a family there, of course, had some small family. My family from the Jamaican connection, Wagon Rule Boy, they played Jamaica music. And my cousin Colin had a sound called Puma. He had a sound called LP International. And when I moved to this, to New York, that was more what I had, if that makes sense. That was more like where I was, my foundation. And it weren't to say that I didn't have a connection, but I didn't have no connection in hip hop or anything like that. I came with an open book. Zero. I remember having like a black book and having names written down and the people that I wanted to meet and the people that I thought could help me on my journey. It's so crazy. But by the time. We'll get onto that later. But by the time my journey began, by the time my journey was in the middle, I started meeting these guys. I didn't even want to meet them at the time because I was already where I was, I was already moving. But like, shout out to friends of mine today, like Steve Stout and whole of whole load.
Chad Ochocinco
Oh yes, Steve and friend. I know Steve. A whole load of guys like that.
Dre London
I had on my list, like, yo, when I get to the States, these are the people I need to meet that's making things happen. And now I'm around these guys, now they're my peers, now they're friends of mine. And now they're like. We have conversations all the time about different stuff and just building. But you're right, it's definitely was a self made thing. I came to America with zero telephone numbers in terms of help. I remember one day I was in the park in Brooklyn and my cousin and them were slapping Domos and I said, I've been in this park two days in a row. I can't be a pair with my cousins and them playing dominoes and guys hustling, guys running down the street selling what they're selling. And coming back to the park, I was like, no, no, no, no. I came from too far in my life to be sitting in the park for two days in a row. And I think that was like my last str. I was like, all right, that was.
Chad Ochocinco
Your wake up moment.
Dre London
Yeah, I'm leaving Brooklyn, I'm going to Manhattan, and I'm gonna go every day until I make this shit happen. Doesn't matter how I make it happen, I'm gonna make it happen. And after that, lo and behold, I started helping some of the years. Like a couple of years after that, not too long, I started helping some of the biggest careers in hip hop. Like at that time, I met a guy called French Montana. At the time, no one really knew who he was. Unless you watch smack DVD or cocain silly DVDs. And you remember the DVD era, yeah, he was doing that. And I came around him and started learning how he did the hustle, how he did all of that. And Then. Then I moved from there. I. I got my own place in Edgewater, New Jersey. I had him and Max B always around. I started. See, that was the first time I saw what Make It Clap really was. You know, Like, I didn't even know what Making It Clap was until that era. But that's when it started from there. And I started picking up a lot of different things. And even though he said in Drink Champs he wanted to say he made me London, Dre London. I'm. I might have to give him a piece of that, because I don't. I just remember people used to say, london, Dre or Dre. You know, Dre from London. And, yeah, he used to just keep spitting. Dre London. I don't know. And it just. Just happened and it's stuck. Yeah, but like I said, introduce him to producers and a few people. That got him his first. I'm not saying his first hit record, but to me, it was a first hit record, because his first record that he ever got on the radio was after he met me, not before he met me. So when I heard Funk Flex doing them bombs, I started thinking, like, okay, you actually got something, bro. You came to America, you met people, you've put people together, you've pieced people. People together, and now you've got records being played on the radio. I didn't earn no money from it. I think that was my biggest lesson in the music industry at that time. In the beginning, like, you put two people together and I didn't earn. I didn't earn. I'm sure you guys have got experience of that, putting things together, and you didn't earn nothing. And you don't. Some people could weep and be sad, but I was really happy about it because years later, it taught me a lot. It told me where I needed to go. But that was, like, my first. Not really. I remember working with him and Jada Kiss before that. Like, there was a lot of things I was doing in New York that was. People didn't know where I was going or know where I could be going, but they just knew this guy was a hustler. And I came with the same hustling mentality. Don't expect nothing. It's not personal. It's always business. And just keep grinding. And the more you grind and the more you stay consistent is, the more people are going to start believing you and start making things happen. So that's kind of the way the beginning of the grind when you. When you say, came from zero to hero. And then after That I left New York, everyone thought I was crazy. I remember shout out to Nori, the rapper Noriega, he was like, you're going where? I left 2014, I left New York, said I was gonna go to la. And everyone thought I was crazy, but they didn't know that I discovered this talent at the time it was called Austin Post, but I discovered this talent called Post Malone.
Chad Ochocinco
Oh, wow. Yeah, that's why I wanted him. Like, hold up, how did you. So, yeah, tell us, how did. How did you and Post end up linking up and this. This perfect storm?
Dre London
Yeah, it's crazy. Cause when you're on the run, you don't really know you're on this run of a perfect storm. Like you're saying, because it's a rugged road. It's like when you're playing sports, you gotta keep training. Like when you guys was both playing sports, you was training. And the more training you did, the more people say you were lucky. But Ocho, you wasn't lucky. Like, how was you lucky? You was between being prepared for the opportunity and luck is in the middle, if that makes sense. It's not luck. You prepared for the opportunity. I call luck being aware. I don't really say people are lucky. I say you are aware. Because if you aren't prepared for the opportunity, how can you be lucky? So I was prepared for the opportunity at the time and I really. I moved. I didn't move to la. I went for the Grammys. I just wanted to see a Grammy for the first time. It was the most boring show I ever seen, ever. Sat down there for all these hours and was like, oh, my God, this isn't what it's made out to be. And then during that time, a friend of mine, which is crazy, from the uk, introduced me to a different friend from the UK that lived in the States. And he brought me to this house in Encino. And at the time there was gamers there. And even from coming from New York, you might think this is normal today, saying the word Gamers, but in 2014, most people didn't know what a gamer was, right? Like, I didn't see no one in New York making money off of playing video games. And I went there and his boy was. His name was Minecraft Universe at the time. He used to wear a headset and be commentating on Minecraft. This guy was 18, I want to say a kid at the time. He was 18 years old with an Aston Martin, brand new Aston Martin outside. I was like, they're doing something right there. Was in this big mansion. Even though everyone didn't have money, they were earning money in this big mansion. And he bought his best friend over there to seek out his career because he was invited from Dallas to go and play video games in his house or to play games and earn money. And then he had an agent. And all of this was brand new to me. Can you imagine coming from New York, the hustle and bustle of New York, and then coming into LA and seeing guys playing video games and earning big money, right? I'm like, what the what? And his best friend, what happened to be Austin Post, who today is Post Malone? He brought him over with him to seek out his career. Didn't have no big money or nothing. Was just about living above water.
Chad Ochocinco
Was it you that recommended he change his name?
Dre London
No.
Chad Ochocinco
From Austin Post to Post Malone.
Dre London
Austin Post is his actual government name. And he. We're gonna laugh at this. He put his name into this thing online called the rap name Generator. He put Austin Post in there and it came back and said Post Malone. He said, I like that. And because of Carl Malone, I don't know, like, at the time he was just like, oh, this is a good name. He put it into a rap generator, a rap name generator. And that's how he came up with the name Post. We all thought it was cool. But at the time he would rap in the day and like say he's a rapper, but then at night he would start playing this guitar and the ladies used to come around, you know, like in that you have the island in the kitchen. And like, we'd always have little parties. Not little parties in LA in 2014 were nice. We'd have parties in the house in Encino and I would just watch the way people's reaction was to him playing guitar. He was like 18, almost 19, but he was singing to me and I was like, this guy sounds like he's 38 instead of 18, if that makes sense. And like, I just saw a lot of things that other people might have thought they saw, but not everyone had the business mind frame to take it to where it needed to go to. And I kind of like just put my arm around and was like, listen, I'm going to make you the biggest star in the world. And he looked at me crazy. I said it even crazier than that. But like I said, I'm going to make you the next biggest white star in the world. And he looked at me like, there's a black guy from London telling me you're going to make me the biggest here.
Chad Ochocinco
Black guy from London is going to make the white guy from.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
That's what you got for Moo.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, listen, I, I, I was getting ready to say, I mean, listen, that, that story, obviously the one thing that everyone always sees a finished product most of the time. I'm glad that you told the story and understanding that a lot of people give up because you could have gave up so many times based on that story you just told. But obviously you were self motivated. The second part that I noticed in the story that you just told is people that you were surrounded by were doing a certain thing, but that's not what you want to do most of the time. Everybody else falls in that trap and being sheep and doing what everybody else is doing, but you understood what you want to do. You had a vision, you had end goal, and you had the. Discipline is always the key word in anything, especially when it comes to success. Discipline. Yeah. Knowing you could fail, knowing it's going to be hard, but if you stick to the plan, which is what you did, and you went and got what you wanted to get, you went to three different places from the UK to New York. Okay, New York. I see something else. I got to go down to LA all of a sudden. Post Malone.
Dre London
Correct.
Shannon Sharpe
I, I love the story, but also the fact that I like what you just said about Post Malone, but I also, you know, think you could manage me and make me the biggest black star in the world, you know, to go from sports, to go from podcasting, because I play the guitar and piano, too.
Dre London
Stop it.
Shannon Sharpe
No, I, I do.
Chad Ochocinco
So I'm. Yeah, I wish you would. I wish you would. Drink. Yeah, I wish you. I wish you would. I can't say it like you. Dre, stop it. Stop it. O.J. stop it.
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, no, I'm serious. Hey, Dre, I' ma send you, I'm gonna send you some clips, and I think me and Post Malone on tour would do numbers.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Crazy.
Dre London
That's crazy.
Chad Ochocinco
Dre, you're building one of the fastest growing tequila brands. How do you pronounce it? Don Lourdes.
Dre London
Don Laundress.
Chad Ochocinco
Don Laundress.
Dre London
Yeah, just Don Laundress. Like, it's behind me. You see it right here.
Chad Ochocinco
So, so, so tell us about it.
Dre London
So while going on this journey, and like, kind of as short as possible, while going on the same journey, I built so many other brands. I did so many things for so many brands. Like, I told bud light at 22 years old that we was. When post was 21 years old that we were selling so much more Bud Light to the youth and why they needed to pay attention to what we was doing. What I could see. I told them that he would be the first person's face on a Bud Light can. Couple of years later, he was the first person on the face on a Bud Light can. There was so many brands like, I was the first to chase after crocs. I'm part of the reason why so many people are wearing Crocs today. I could say it just because I lived it and I did it. No one was wearing Crocs apart from doctors and nurses. And then one day, Post was going on the stage to go do a performance and I was like, are you getting dressed like you go into the green room together? And he looked at me like what I'm dressed? And I was looking. I'm like, what? He had a black. The black Adidas tracksuit with a white T shirt and white Crocs on. I thought he was crazy. The next day, Jody Gerson, who is the president of Universal Publishing, she called me the next day with her daughter telling me that it was our fault that she'd be driving around all day with her daughter Daisy looking for crocs. That's when it hit me. Ding, ding, ding, ding. There was like obviously a picture going viral of him jumping and performing. Was at Golf ball New York. It might have been our first ever golf ball festival. And that's when it hit me like, hold on. He was wearing crocs. She didn't know the story of me making telling them that you dressed. Then I saw her asking her mom for crocs the next day. Immediately the next week, I was going to crocs and crocs. Didn't even know who Post Malone was. I was going to Crocs begging them for a deal back. This is how long ago it was like. And we got the shittiest royalty deal. It was the worst. But you know when I knew that my brain had some form of power was when I was getting calls from New York that there was lines outside Crocs store. No one ever seen lines outside a croc store before. There was lines and lines. And then after Crocs. I'm not going to say it did me dirty. I should have been smart enough myself. If I was as smart as I was today, I would have went and got the stock. I would have bought a lot of croc stock, right? Crocs then started going to some of our friends and our peers. They started to went To Justin Bieber. Bieber then had a drew this one, that one till like even down to like nine months ago or maybe less than that, they was doing Crocs with Bad Bunny. So I've seen. I opened them up to this whole other world that they wasn't in doing giblets, doing this, doing that. And they can't come and sue me even for this conversation because I know 100 I was the first to bring Crocs into culture, into hip hop, into culture, making it cool. No one was wearing Crocs. So when, when I started looking at all these type of things, Chad and, and Shay, it was like, I'm building all these brands and I'm doing all these things for all these brands, but what about my own?
Chad Ochocinco
Doing for myself?
Dre London
Yeah, what about my own? So when, when the pandemic hit and everyone had to stay home, when it got to that moment when everyone had to stay home, I'm the kind of guy just, if you listen to my story, I can't sit still. I'm not going to sit still. So while everyone was sitting still, that's when there's 2020. I was like, okay, we've been going around the world. I now drink this great tequila. I don't drink vodka anymore. This is years since I'm drinking vodka. And I wanted to like, how do I do this? So I made a connection with someone while I was also managing Tiger at the time. I made a connection with someone on the way to Tiger's house in Palm Springs. And he then introduced me to Robert, who was a lawyer. And Robert knew the family that made Don Julio. And then I went and took the most craziest chance during the pandemic. I charted a jet and went with him at 6 in the morning. I only knew this guy a week. Yeah, I took a chance.
Chad Ochocinco
Sometimes you got to take a chance.
Dre London
Yeah, it's exactly what Chad was saying. I'm like a risk take. I took a chance and jumped on. On a jet with this guy I only met a couple of times or maybe once or twice and hadn't been longer than a week just because he said he knew today we could act like a salsa, but the salsa of tequila. And I went and it was really true. It was the family who, his great grandfather was the first, not the first, but made tequila. And the guy I was meeting was the first ever to make premium tequila. And I went on this journey and during the pandemic, like, I went and I was just doing crazy things, man. I had like, people laughed at me for having a house office today. It might sound normal having a house office, but no one had a house office. I was building a home and turning into my office. By the time pandemic came, I had everyone over there because no one could go and work anymore in the office. So I would have all these kids, all these nerds like that. I love that room full of them, laptops open, everyone working. While everyone was doing all that, I was building this shout out to Jacob, one of my guys. I didn't know the numbers, but I knew that I needed a 3D printing machine because I had this shape in my mind. If you could see that today.
Chad Ochocinco
Yes.
Dre London
Oh, like, I fully designed this. No one can take any claim and say I took it from anyone else. Like, I fully designed the bottle. We got a 3D machine, and I started doing the circumference of what I wanted it to look like. This is before I even had the liquid. I had the bottle in my head because I thought about women. And no one makes tequila for women at that time. No one. I don't know if they do now, but no one makes tequila for women. So I thought, whatever the women like, the men love. So why don't we make something where a bottle was intriguing for women intriguing. Now people are telling me, like, shout out to Danny in Miami. He was telling me just the other day, like, do you know how many people go crazy for this bottle? They want to hold it, they want to put flowers in it, they want to put candles in it after.
Shannon Sharpe
Wow.
Dre London
That was the whole point of making this bottle. So I then went down to Mexico. Took me a year to do. To get the loi to do the deal, because look how I look. Me and a Mexican talking about doing a deal and doing big business. It's. It's not.
Chad Ochocinco
It might seem normal now, right?
Dre London
In 2020, 2021. It wasn't a normal thing. And I went down there and I convinced him after a year. Finally got the loi, then started. He put me through the whole rigmarole of learning making my own liquid. How you have to do this while all this is going on. Celebs are now catching on. There was no celeb tequila when I started.
Chad Ochocinco
Because, you know, you got. You got LeBron with Lobos, you got Kevin Hart with Grand Cormino. I think one of the General Girls got 808 the Rock.
Dre London
I wasn't going to say the name, but, yeah, that's probably the one that made me, like. I just stopped putting out episodes of me in Mexico a year before everybody else was doing it, so people could start following it. And, like, it really caught on because I started using the leverage of the music business. And I spoke to Michael Rapinoe from Live Nation, and I told him what I was doing, and he really respected it, and he really thought that I had a lot of. A lot of balls going into the business I was going into. And he said he would support me, and he did. We started getting into all the Live Nation venues. We went on tours. I was making sure that everyone had it. And up to this day, it's still the same thing. I. I just leveraged everything. If I know you and you don't have done laundries, that means you don't respect me. That means you don't understand what we're about. Because I have the best, smoothest sipping tequila in the world. Women can drink this without no chaser. Most people would, you know, meet them and they'll have a tequila, or they'll have, like, not most people, because most people have a tequila, but every other tequila out there, they're selling you a cocktail. I'm saying it's best sipped on ice.
Shannon Sharpe
Wow.
Dre London
You don't need.
Chad Ochocinco
No.
Dre London
Of course it tastes good with margarita and it tastes good in a cocktail drink, but you don't need none of that with this. This is so smooth. I can truly say, best served on the rocks.
Chad Ochocinco
Tell the chat where they can find you on social media.
Dre London
You'll find me on social media at D R E L O N. D O N at Dre London. Mostly on Instagram. I try to keep up to date with so much other stuff, but it's really hard. My head's down, man. I find it hard enough. Even post it on Instagram every week, right? It's tough enough. I don't know how you guys do. I mean, yeah, you have to have a team. And I keep rebuilding my team and having a team around me that can help me do that. But I really am one of them people where on social media, I want to be able to people to feel it's me, right? Not generated. Like, not just some generated caption, like. All right, you know.

Chad Ochocinco
But I want to know who's laughing. Are you going to the gym?
Shannon Sharpe
Listen, the people that. The people that are laughing are the ones who don't work out consistently. So they really don't, you know, and.

That work, that works for him. Maybe that doesn't work for you for what he's training, you know, look like he's. It's. It's a w. It's a wide grip. It's like he's sitting in, like, almost a sumo stance, but he's doing a wide grip, like it's a deadlift because look how wide his grip is. Yeah, it's. He's dropping down.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he's. He's working on. He's working on a particular area. I just don't know what area it is. I'm. I'm not good with.
Chad Ochocinco
Well, anytime, Anytime, Anytime you do deadlifts, it's gonna help the glutes, it's gonna help your chain muscles, which are your spinal erectors, which run down your back. So it's gonna. It's gonna help all those muscles. It's gonna get into your glutes, it's gonna get into your chain muscles. Your core, you gotta keep your core tight because you never wanna get into your back. Not with that. That's why a lot of people, a lot of trainers don't do deadlifts because of. If you don't have good form, you can. But clearly he and Mike Macias has been working together for going on 23, 24 seasons, and it's worked. Nobody has played this long, been this good. Yeah. So I don't know if I just saw him sitting on the bed eating chocolate. I was like, damn, that's a new workout right there. Cause tell me the last time you saw somebody play that long at that level in any sport, consistently. You gotta go back. What, Brady?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, but you're talking about. Brady's just on one side of the ball when LeBron don't get to score, scored a bucket and then run to the bench.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Hey. Huh?

Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but, hey, he in there, obviously. Jeff Green, dude from the Bucks and the dude from the Knicks. They so tall, man. That's like, everybody look the same to me once you pass six fold. Everybody look the same to me.
Chad Ochocinco
The Lakers to honor hall of Famer Pat Riley with a statue on February 22nd. Riley will become the eighth Laker luminary to be honored with a statue in Star Plaza. The others are Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Shaquille o'. Neal. Did I mention Kobe Bryant? Yeah, I did. And the legendary broadcaster Chick Hearn.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Ojo.
Chad Ochocinco
We've seen Tom Brady, we've seen Dwayne Wade, and now Pat gets a statue. Who's the next athlete you want to see honored from any sport?
Shannon Sharpe
Ah, the next athlete I would like to see honor that actually deserves it in any sport would probably be. That is a great question. Huh?
Chad Ochocinco
Okay, give us a great answer.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, man. The next athlete that deserves to be honored. Oh, that's a tough one because they're so.
Chad Ochocinco
Alexander Beckin, ovi.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, he's still active. Did he pass Wayne Gretzky yet in goals?
Chad Ochocinco
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
I think that that would be a great statue. That would be a great statue to have. To have.
Chad Ochocinco
Probably said the Kid Crosby from Pittsburgh.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Because the. The baseball players judge still got years to go. Shohei Otani got years to go.
Shannon Sharpe
You know. You know who deserves a statue?
Chad Ochocinco
Who? That.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't know. It might not sit well with. With people. You know, I'm Barry Bond. Yep. How did you know that's where I was going?
Chad Ochocinco
Because you said it might not sit well. That's.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. I mean, Barry and what he was able to do, I'm sure.
Chad Ochocinco
I mean, statue out in San Francisco. You do Barry Bond.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. I mean, football wise, obviously Tom is. Is well deserving of his.
Chad Ochocinco
When? Next year.
Shannon Sharpe
But what about LeBron?
Chad Ochocinco
When he retired? I mean, that's going to be him and Dan Gilbert. I don't know if Pat Riley gonna put one out.
Shannon Sharpe
There ain't. Matter of fact, you know, you know what people. And I'm. I'm sure the people that be, the powers that be that actually see this. For everybody that is getting statues, everyone who is getting statues, can we please go to the same person? Whoever did Ed Reed's bus. Whoever did Ed Reed's bus.
Chad Ochocinco
Blair Buxton. I think he's the guy that did my bus.
Shannon Sharpe
Everybody needs to go to Blair. When it comes to statues. I don't care if it's the head. I don't care if it's the. They need to go to him.
Chad Ochocinco
Blair Buxton. Blair Boswell. Who's the hall of fame. I think his name. His name is Blair because he did my bus and he did my brothers, but he also did Ed Reeds too.
Shannon Sharpe
Who? Well, him brother Blair. Everybody needs to go to you. Everybody.
Chad Ochocinco
Buzzwell. Yeah. Okay.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Yeah. He's.
Dre London
Hey, his.
Shannon Sharpe
His. His work is phenomenal. His work is for.
Chad Ochocinco
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. He's really good. Ocho Michael Porter Jr. Went on one night with Steiny Steiny, right. Podcast. And this is what he had to say. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Chad Ochocinco
The sports gambling stuff can affect that a lot. 100%. Think about it. There you go. You get mad at these dudes, like, like the sports betting. But think about if you could get all your homies rich by telling him, yo, no shit, $10,000 on my under. You know, this one game, I'm going to act like I got an injury and. And I'mma.
Shannon Sharpe
I'mma.
Chad Ochocinco
I'mma sit out, I'mma come out after three minutes and they all get a little bad because you did it one game. Like that is so not okay.
Shannon Sharpe
But the.
Chad Ochocinco
Some people probably think like that they come from nothing, and all their homies have nothing. And they're like, bro, if I. If I come out of this game after three minutes and y' all all hit on my under, we're all getting a little bag. Yeah. Oh, Lord have mercy. Oo, he can't go on no more podcast.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, I think if you got the right homies, if you got the right homies, you know what they gonna tell you? Nah, bro, don't do that. If you got the right people around you, they gonna tell you, no, don't do that, bro.
Chad Ochocinco
This man got this man making $150 million, and he said, if I could get the homies the bag, even.
Shannon Sharpe
Even a hypothetical, go ahead and break.
Chad Ochocinco
Them off out of your pocket and keep your 150 and keep your ass out of jail.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, even as a hypothetical, that's something that you, you, you. You think to yourself, but you never.
Chad Ochocinco
Say out loud, no, sir, no, no, no, you can't. God. Oh, my goodness, man.
Shannon Sharpe
I. Listen, I. He coming, he come. It's coming from a good place. It's coming from the heart and want to look out for your homeboys, but at the expense of your career and all it took for you to get there.
Dre London
No.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, man, come on, Joe.
Chad Ochocinco
Do you know how many. Hey, you know how many homeboys you. We play ball now. You know, people want to pick betting a betting, picking football game. Hey, man, I know you know.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Who. Who you like in this game? Yo, I don't do that, man. Come on, Sean, man, you. I know you know. Yeah, because the first thing happened, they get jammed up. Who they giving up? Ocho?
Shannon Sharpe
Him. Michael Porter Jr. And the funny thing about it is people are people that hear him saying this. And the first Thing people to say. Oh, he's a real one. It's the first thing I would say. Oh, yeah, he. Well, he. He real.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. Yeah, okay.
Chad Ochocinco
You're right. I'm with. Hey, you know, I'm with you. When you write, I just like you, man. You just got to be careful, man. No, no, you can't. You can't do that. And like I said, bro, they know, right? All of a sudden, this man playing two minutes, they betting, they see a pattern, right? They see a gambling pattern, bro. It's not like you, LeBron, bro. You this arbitrary guy. You the 13th guy, and you come in for three minutes and you out and nobody saw you got hurt, and you don't come back in. And we've seen this happen 15 times.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Why they betting on. Why are they betting on him? Somebody bet on Luca. You won't. Won't raise an eye. Somebody bet on KD. Somebody bet on LeBron. Somebody bet on somebody like that. You're not going to raise the eye. You're betting on an arbitrary guy, a random. Yeah, why.
Shannon Sharpe
But, hey, listen, the hypothetical in itself, you can only make so much doing anyway. Let's say you do. You do get your homeboys a little bag. The bag is so small, it would make no significance anyway. It's not. Not life changing money. Why are you risking your career? Even though it was a hypothetical, he said it as a hypothetical. What if I could get my homies a bag?
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, correct.
Shannon Sharpe
What about your career?
Chad Ochocinco
And. And the thing is, Ocho, inevitably, your homeboy's gonna want a bigger bag.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah, Always.
Chad Ochocinco
So they gotta make. So they gotta bet more.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
In order to bet more now, you.
Shannon Sharpe
Gotta do something again. Come on.
Chad Ochocinco
The game and that how it used to be the mall get the hooks in. You bet one time and they get you stuck. Now they got you stuck.
Shannon Sharpe
That's. That's the way the game goes.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
If you. Homie, if your homies was real ones. If there was real ones. What real is, is if you even thought about doing that. And if they ask you to do that, they ain't your real friends, no way.
Chad Ochocinco
Correct.
Shannon Sharpe
What are we talking about.
Dre London
Now?
Chad Ochocinco
I don't. I don't. I don't get that with Michael Porter jr. Just like that hypothetical. You just keep that one to yourself. Yeah, you don't say that out loud because, you know, like I said, the NBA gonna have a. They're gonna have a watch. Why? Look. And I get. Look. Parlays. You know, you got draftkings and we be doing parlays during football season and all. I get it. It started with fantasy. I mean, gambling is. You go way, way back. Gambling has always been prevalent in sports.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Chad Ochocinco
And then, you know, you had fantasy and you know, draft teams and I get. And now you got these parlays and you bet, you know, hey, you bet 500 bucks. With DraftKings, you get 200 bucks instantly. I get it. And you know, you could bet a, a five or 10 or 15, 20, 30, play, parlay and you know, bet 20, 30, 40, 50 bucks, $100 and win whatever you can win. So I get it, I get the lore. Cause we like winning. We like winning. We do, but. And I agree with everything you said for him to put his career at risk. Yeah, your homies ain't got no day. I mean, they ain't got no skin in the game, bro. Now if you wanted to do something on your own to put your career at risk, okay, that's you. But to put that at risk for someone else. Ocho, for what? Okay, let's just say ocho, What? They win 5000, they bet the under. They bet enough money, win 5000 with what? 2500, 1500.
Shannon Sharpe
That money, they gonna blow that money by about a week. Huh?
Chad Ochocinco
That ain't no bag. I don't know, I mean, I mean, I don't think anybody think no 2500 a bag.
Shannon Sharpe
You can't bet enough to make the kind of money that's going to be life changing. To be risking your entire career in the millions of dollars that you are making to go on it right into a game for three minutes and act like you hurt and come out.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, no, I mean to make life changing money, you got to bet life change. You gotta bet like Drake, you gotta bet like Floyd Mayweather. You see them gambling slips they be having, betting $3 million, betting 4 million, $5 million. That's life changing money. Yeah, but y' all ain't got that kind of money.
Shannon Sharpe
Mm.
Chad Ochocinco
So even for them, it's not life changing because they got it. They already got life changing money. It's the thrill for them. See, you're trying to. You're like, man, I'm a win, I'm gonna win the bag, blah, blah, blah. It's the thrill of them, it's the excitement for them. Right, Drake, you see drake got a 747 or whatever. That 767, he got a big, big ass plane.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Floyd is. Floyd probably hadn't flew commercial since 90 night. We fought in the 96 Olympics. So he probably hadn't flown commercial since 2000. Lloyd got his own plane.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
And all them. And all them watches, all them Birkin bags. So him, he likes the. He likes to like the. The. The excitement of it, the thrill of it. But nah, nah. Floyd wants to bet on himself. Have at it. The probably limit in which you can bet. Yeah, I don't. I don't. But I've never. I. It's really never crossed my mind, Ocho, to like to give anybody information. Right, man, you go play.
Dre London
I.
Chad Ochocinco
We'll see.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Because I don't know. I. I don't. I don't. I don't know. You know, they see the report, they see you in the barbershop, and they see you. So you playing this week? I don't know who you are. We'll see. What about such and such? Well, he was at practice. He got no chance of playing, right? He was at practice. Cause first thing they say, hey, just a casual conversation, get you linked into something. You don't, Ocho. You don't, man. You don't know. And so you know, I've always tried to stay away from that. Even today, man, you don't play. Hey, got with DraftKings. Since I got with DraftKings, I picked these parlays. That's it. That's all I got for you. Hey, play my parlay. That thing hit now. That thing good. Now give you, you know, give you. Give you one and a half times your money. Easy money, too. I'm gonna hit by how many parlays we got. So we have. How many we had last year? 25. We had 25. I'm gonna. I'm gonna hit at least 10 this year. That was my goal, to hit 10 of the 25.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. Okay.
Chad Ochocinco
I'm hit 10 or 25.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Chad Ochocinco
I mean 20, 25. Watch this.
Shannon Sharpe
All right, well, where you get that mean I'm. I can hold on to that 5,900, huh?
Chad Ochocinco
No, I don't mean that.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Chad Ochocinco
I mean, I need to get that. As a matter of fact, that's what I'm gonna bet the parlay with. That's what I bet the parlay with. Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Gotta hit you with that church finger real quick.
Chad Ochocinco
Go ahead. But. Yeah, look, I. I think Michael Porter, he meant well, but everybody's not going to take it like that. You have to be really, really careful when you're talking about the potential of influencing a ball game, because that is. That is taboo in any professional sport. They know you say steroids. And that's bad too. Obviously steroids in some sports are worse than others. But, but, but betting on a game that you, that you're a problem that you're in, that's the, that's, that's, that's bad that quitting. But I think he was trying to, you know, talk about his brother. His brother has had that addiction that, you know, gambling and X, Y and Z. So I think he was just trying to make the point that his brother was probably maybe looking out for someone. Maybe that's the point. Like I said, I just, I know the story about his brother. I didn't really listen to the podcast. I just saw the clip that you guys listened to. So I think that's the point that he was trying to make. The point he was trying to make like, hey, my brother probably trying to look out for somebody and you know, got him situation where he's probably banned for the rest of his life. You can make a difference in someone's.

The fans gonna run with that.
Chad Ochocinco
What happens. What happens when he plays bad? What's the meme that's gonna come up there? Ocho, he throw two picks and they lose a game, what they gonna have up under his name, Ocho?

Hold on. It's the away fans, huh? The signs they gonna have when they.
Chad Ochocinco

You think they'll do that?
Chad Ochocinco
Fan is short for. For what? Fanatic.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
Chad Ochocinco
They like you when you winning. They like you when you on top.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I, I. But, you know, even. Even though when it comes to the quarterback, I don't see them doing the quarterback like that. Not at home. Not in the Georgia Dome. Wait, Georgia Dome, right? Mercedes Benz.
Chad Ochocinco
Mercedes Benz.
Shannon Sharpe
Don't.
Chad Ochocinco
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They ain't gonna do it. What? You know, I'm saying they gonna. On Twitter. Oh, Twitter.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Twitter is bad.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
No, they're not gonna do. They know that'd be disrespectful to the whole team. I'm talking about fans on Twitter.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah. You know they don't care.
Chad Ochocinco
That ain't. That ain't got. That ain't got. No. No. Hey.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. You know they don't care.
Chad Ochocinco
Ocho. The Colorado Buffs finished their season 9 and 4, but according to the season, unranked. Do you think they deserve to be Right.
Shannon Sharpe
Based on. Based on what they did last year, 9 and 4.
Chad Ochocinco
You lost your quarterback and you lost the best player in the country.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
You lost Jimmy Horn Jr. Yeah. Probably didn't lose Webster. Webster, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Jahante.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah. The one that ran the point back for the Ravens. Right?
Shannon Sharpe
The Ravens. Yeah. Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
No, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, no. Absolutely not. They. Listen, they lost some very, very good players.
Chad Ochocinco
So.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, you build them back from scratch. You build it back.
Chad Ochocinco
Yes. You're going to be in. You're in a situation, Ocho, that you're going to have to replace what you lost. It's almost like you go in there for the first time.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
But look, just go in there and play, right? I mean, I ain't really look like, oh, they got us finished to win the AFC west or they got us finish to finish, you know, not make the playoffs. They ain't got no bearing on what. How I'm gonna play.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't. It don't at all. You gota. And listen, I think. I don't think prime even cares about being ranked. Understanding that I have to start over from scratch. You got, like you. Like you say, uncle all the time. You gotta update your resume.
Chad Ochocinco
Absolutely.
Shannon Sharpe
Now you gotta update your resume. You. You lost some players, you gained some players. Are those players as good as the ones you lost? We don't know. We will find out on Saturdays.
Chad Ochocinco
Well, you ain't got no Travis Hunter.
Shannon Sharpe
No.
Chad Ochocinco
Who you brought in.
Dre London
No.
Shannon Sharpe
You don't have that. Not that. No.
Chad Ochocinco
Up your sleep, Ocho. Check this out. A woman sues a company for signing no work, but paying her fully for 20 years. A woman in France is suing a telecom. Is suing telecom giant Orange. Claim, claim. Claiming she was kept on full salary for 20 years without being assigned any task, which she says left her feeling humiliated and professionally abandoned. According to her statement, she was paid around €5,000amonth for 20 years. That's what the reports are saying, that she's suing telecom giant Orange because they Paid her a monthly salary for 20 years, but gave her no assignment.
Shannon Sharpe
Wait, now that's the first. Now then that. Now that's the first.
Dre London
Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Now you see the mentality of someone on the other side of the bridge. You think someone here in the States that is getting paid $5,000 a month to do absolutely nothing.
Chad Ochocinco
How much is €5,000amonth? I think that's more than that. Ooh, it is.
Shannon Sharpe
How much? Yeah, I'm curious.
Chad Ochocinco
Yes. About is what you owe me $5,900.
Shannon Sharpe
That's what it mean. They were. She was getting 5,900amonth and we're complaining. Well, listen, whatever it is, whatever her job was at Orange. I thought Orange was a phone company, wasn't it?
Chad Ochocinco
It's telecom. It is.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah. See, I mean, she. She's really. She's really, really, really want some work. She loves. She loves what she does. She's very.
Chad Ochocinco
She quit. So after they paid you. After they paid you this salary for 20 years, now you complain. Not at one point in time did you complain, say, you know what? You know, I. I really would like to do a task. I really would like to do something.
Shannon Sharpe
So do you think.
Chad Ochocinco
I mean, if what's being reported is true, Ocho, the time to complain is not after 20 years. It's during the process is doing. It's actually happening.
Shannon Sharpe
Maybe. Did she wait long on purpose? Feeling that if I. If I let it go 20 years, I can actually have a chance to win the case, to get even.

Chad Ochocinco
It's been a while. It's been a while since I've been a baby, so, you know.
Shannon Sharpe

Chad Ochocinco
What they got to do with you? That's the kid. That's the kid. That belongs to the kid, not you.
Shannon Sharpe
It belongs to the kid. But sometimes me, as a inquiring adult, I would like to know what the child is tasting. So I like to. To make sure. Yeah.
Dre London
So, you know.
Chad Ochocinco
Well, I figured he stopped crying. It might got. He or she stopped crying, so I figured it was pretty good. Yeah, I think I take. I take their reaction.

Hey, you know what? It's so funny too when you think about it. The fact that it's, it's, it's outside of the potatoes.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
It might have a different taste to it depending on what they do to it. Now everybody's breast milk takes a taste a little different.
Chad Ochocinco

Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, I'll let you know how it is. I'll let you know how it is because I'm for one, I'm not gonna eat it. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna eat it cold either. So whatever I get from the store, I'm heat that up. I'm gonna eat that up. I need my breast milk body temperature.
Chad Ochocinco
Well, that, that's not how you supposed to eat. Well, okay, that's. You, you, you tell the chat.

Chad Ochocinco
So, bro, you the boy using your youth in the. What you call it, you were waking up. You. So let me ask you a question. So were you waking up at 3am when you stand at Brown at Cincinnati Stadium? The kids was in there with you.

Chad Ochocinco
Now, now. Let's have a. Now we can have a real conversation. Dr. Frank L. Bellamy said. Hey, fam, have you ever seen that show Amazing Race? Yes. If your hips were good, I think you and Ocho could pull it off. What do you think? Yes, I've seen the Amazing Race.
Shannon Sharpe
Hold on. Your hips don't got to be good for us to pull up. We could pull it off right now. That's the type of stuff we need to be doing.
Chad Ochocinco
Matter of fact, that's the kind of stuff you and Jordan need to be doing. I'll be cheering you guys on.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, that's fine. But I think it'd be dope to have you out there. Bad hips, bad knees, you know, and watch me carry you. I mean, it's teamwork. It's teamwork.
Chad Ochocinco
You want me to be like Mariano Rivera, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you. No.
Chad Ochocinco
No. Aaron, Aaron. Owen said, prime for Prime. Who you taking, a B or Tyreek?
Shannon Sharpe
That's a good one, boy.
Chad Ochocinco
That's on you, Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
You.
Chad Ochocinco
You the Madden Adjuster.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, that's a good one, boy. But AV had a six, seven year stretch going. Dumb. I mean, dumb dumb. I love Tyreek and what he brings to the game and what he's going to continue to do for the game. But AB Run was. Was, was. Was different.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah. That he had in Pittsburgh.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, my God.
Chad Ochocinco
79 Black Panther, Malibu. Have y' all ever played on a team with. Against any girls back in yalls days? And would you have cleaned their clock knowing their girl? Yes. My senior year, we played. We played a team. Tomb Central. They had a. I had a young lady on the team.
Shannon Sharpe
She was a kicker, huh?
Chad Ochocinco
Nah, she was on defense.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. My bad. Yeah. I've never had that opportunity. No.
Chad Ochocinco
And you know, Ocho.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
That was the only game all year I didn't score a touchdown.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, you got locked up by a girl, huh?
Chad Ochocinco
I think I caught, like, one pass.
Shannon Sharpe
Damn. Or she locked you up, right?
Chad Ochocinco
I guess.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, now that I think about it, too, when somebody mentioned American race. You know what I want to do?
Chad Ochocinco
Amazing Race.
Shannon Sharpe
Amazing Race. My bad. What did I say?
Chad Ochocinco
Not Amazing Race.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. I want to do American Ninja Warrior.
Chad Ochocinco
Okay, go ahead.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, I, I'm.
Chad Ochocinco
I'll call Akbar for you.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. Okay. Okay, I'm ready. I just want. I just wanna, you know, hit the monkey balls and I could do all type I all. All kind of crazy stuff.
Chad Ochocinco
Okay. Yeah. You want me to put a call in for you? Yeah, because they had some athletes on there the other day.
Shannon Sharpe
For real? Yeah. I go, you know, I win that, I win that easy. I like that.
Chad Ochocinco
Eagle fan, who are your top five quarterbacks that need to prove that they belong in the league this year? Is Burrow one that needs to get into the playoffs this year?
Shannon Sharpe
Man, if Burrow doesn't get in the playoffs this year, he's still going to be a top five quarterback.
Chad Ochocinco
Yeah, sure.
Shannon Sharpe
Staying there. There are five quarterbacks that, that only, Only two can make it. I got one out the afc, one out the nfc. But I know five quarterbacks are going to always be in the hunt and being contention every single year.
Chad Ochocinco
Right. You say the top five quarterbacks that need to prove. So basically he's like, okay, give me the five quarterbacks that need to prove. Cause the top five, I mean, Lamar, Josh Allen, they've got to prove they can beat Mahomes when it matters. Ocho. That's what they got to prove.
Dre London
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
Joe Burrow has done it. I mean, he. He what? I think he's one in one. They're one and one against each other in the postseason. But those other two, they've got to prove that they can beat Mahomes when it matters the most. Josh Allen is 0 and 4. He has a winning record in the regular season, but a losing record come postseason. Yeah, Lamar. I think Lamar's beating him once in the regular season, but he hasn't beaten him in the postseason. That's what they got to prove that. You got to climb that. That's the mountain you got to get over. That's the hurdle you got to clear. Dak, he's been injured. He's got to prove he can do it.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco
I think Roger's gonna have to prove his. Aaron, they went, got DK Metcalf, they reset, they resigned. TJ Watt, Cam Hayward is upset, but I think they'll get whatever. Whatever situation, however that works out, I think they get that resolved. You know, they got. They got Calvin Austin iii, but hey, he got to do it. Cause it didn't go like he had hoped in New York. Got injured the first, you know, first. First year, what, three, four plays. He got injured last year. They missed the playoffs. He's got to prove it. He's a four time league mvp. And when you get a guy like that, the expectations goes through the roof. Regardless of his age. J is Cal. Did you know Roman Reigns was a Captain on the 06 Georgia Tech football team and was also a teammate with Megatron, AKA Calvin Johnson. I did know he played at Georgia Tech, but I did not know he was teammates of Calvin Johnson.
Shannon Sharpe
No, I ain't know that either. That's dope. That's dope.
Chad Ochocinco
Sean McVeigh beat Megatron out for player of the year in the state of Georgia in class.
Shannon Sharpe
Sean MC. What's Sean McVeigh?
Chad Ochocinco
The head coach of the Rams.
Shannon Sharpe
At what? What position?
Chad Ochocinco
He was a quarterback at Saint PI 6.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay, okay, okay.
Chad Ochocinco
And I think Megatron went to Sandy Creek.
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. That's dope. Goddamn Sean McZate.
Chad Ochocinco

Episode Title: Nightcap Hour 2: Unc & Ocho React to LeBron James Workout Video + Dre London Joins the Show!
Release Date: August 15, 2025
Host: Shannon Sharpe
Guests: Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, Dre London
Knowledge Cutoff: October 2023
At [02:07], Dre London, the founder of London Entertainment—a management and production company influential in modern hip-hop—joins Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco for an engaging conversation. Sharpe welcomes Dre, expressing enthusiasm about his appearance on the show.
Shannon Sharpe: "They have to go to him."
[02:33] Dre London shares his origins, detailing his upbringing in Brixton, South London, and his family's Jamaican heritage. He explains the challenges he faced growing up in an environment he likens to Harlem's intensity in New York, emphasizing the lack of black British billionaires as a ceiling he aimed to break.
Dre London: "I just had a thing in my head that I couldn't. I didn't want to be hitting the ceiling back in the day in the UK… I felt like I was hitting the ceiling when I was there."
In [03:05], Dre recounts his move to New York in 2008 with minimal connections, highlighting his determination and self-made ethos.
Chad Ochocinco: "You are self-made. You came here with zero telephone numbers in terms of help."
By [06:54], Dre reflects on his initial struggles and eventual success in New York, mentioning his interactions with emerging artists like French Montana and Max B. He emphasizes the importance of perseverance and strategic networking in building his career.
Dre London: "The more you grind and the more you stay consistent, the more people are going to start believing you and start making things happen."
[10:15] Dre delves into his pivotal role in Post Malone's rise to fame. He narrates how he discovered Austin Post (Post Malone) and recognized his unique talent, leading to significant collaborations that propelled Post into the spotlight.
Dre London: "I saw that this guy sounds like he's 38 instead of 18… I'm going to make you the next biggest white star in the world."
At [12:59], Dre discusses the organic growth of Post Malone's career, highlighting their strategic partnerships and the eventual mainstream success that followed their efforts.
In [16:30], Dre talks about his success in brand building, particularly his early advocacy for Crocs, which later became a viral fashion trend. He attributes the widespread popularity of Crocs in part to his and Post Malone's influence.
Dre London: "I was the first to bring Crocs into culture, into hip hop, into culture, making it cool."
He candidly shares the challenges of securing favorable royalty deals but remains proud of his role in making Crocs a cultural staple.
By [20:05], Dre shifts focus to his entrepreneurial venture—Don Laundress, a premium tequila brand. He narrates the inception of the brand during the pandemic, emphasizing his innovative approach to designing a bottle that appeals to women and stands out in the market.
Dre London: "I fully designed this bottle. We got a 3D machine, and I started doing the circumference of what I wanted it to look like."
He elaborates on the challenges of establishing the brand during unprecedented times and the strategic partnerships that helped Don Laundress gain traction in the market.
Dre London: "I convinced him after a year… he really respected it, and he really thought that I had a lot of balls going into the business."
Throughout the conversation, Dre underscores the significance of strategic vision, resilience, and the ability to foresee market trends. His initiatives not only advanced his career but also positively influenced the broader cultural and business landscapes.
Dre London: "I'm building all these brands and I'm doing all these things for all these brands, but what about my own?"
At [28:41], Shannon Sharpe initiates a discussion about LeBron James’ latest workout video, which has garnered online criticism. The trio analyzes the workout's intensity and LeBron’s dedication, defending his regimen as a testament to his sustained excellence in basketball.
Shannon Sharpe: "The people that are laughing are the ones who don't work out consistently."
Chad Ochocinco: "LeBron has been working together for going on 23, 24 seasons, and it's worked. Nobody has played this long, been this good."
They delve into the technical aspects of LeBron’s workout, discussing its benefits for muscle groups and overall performance, while also addressing the skepticism from the internet.
Later in the episode, the hosts engage in light-hearted banter about various topics, including athletes, sports betting, and unique cultural practices. This segment showcases the hosts' camaraderie and their ability to blend serious discussions with entertaining anecdotes.
Chad Ochocinco: "The sports gambling stuff can affect that a lot. 100%."
The episode concludes with the hosts reflecting on the conversations and teasing upcoming segments. They express gratitude to listeners and promote Dre London's ventures, encouraging the audience to follow his entrepreneurial journey.
Shannon Sharpe: "Thank you for having me."
