[Joe Johnson]

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Shh.

[Joe Johnson]

I don't know about contenders. You think they contenders?

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

I don't know. I think they can beat everybody in the West. I don't know if they can. I don't really think they can beat San Antonio or. Or Golden.

[Joe Johnson]

Okay, see.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Okay, see, but I've seen Luca.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Take down OKC by himself. Him and Kyrie. I saw that.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, I saw that.

[Joe Johnson]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

See?

[Joe Johnson]

Grow.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

So I know what Luke can do.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

The question is, he's gonna need Austin because Kyrie was able to have some big games. He's gonna need LeBron. Yeah. Efficient. Yes. Somebody told my book. Yeah, they got. They got a couple of bullet wounds. They got some little exit wounds. Yeah, they do. Little stab marks, people. Somebody don't put out a cigarette or something on them, but it's okay. It's okay. We going. Steph Curry teased the idea of possibly joining the Charlotte Hornets after his father's Dale jersey was retired by the franchise earlier this week. Always Keep your options open. Like you said, I know what that means. When you get your jersey retired, it's immortalized. Nobody should ever be able to touch it. But I'm sure he would make an exception for. He would make a special exception if that were the case.

[Joe Johnson]

Joe, you saying if Steph. Steph Curry go to Charlotte and. And get his dad jersey after rafters, I don't see that.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

They definitely be sold out every night.

[Joe Johnson]

I know he's from now. I know that's home for him, but. Wow, I can't see that. I can't. I'm sorry. I can't see it either.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

I don't see him playing anywhere but Golden State.

[Uncle Ocho]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Steph is in an era where everybody's kind of moving around. Is a. Is a. It's a one jersey team.

[Uncle Ocho]

One jersey guy.

[Joe Johnson]

I don't know about that neither. Fellas,

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

you think still might be able to dip?

[Joe Johnson]

I don't know. I think it might be possible. I mean, I think the warriors probably. If they ain't making a play in Uncle Ocho, they ain't in the playoffs. It's like, man, don't, Don't. Don't let him go out. Don't let him go out like that. Like, I think you can trade him and he can still contend for a title. You put him on the right team.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah,

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

absolutely.

[Joe Johnson]

I just think that course is kind of ran when it comes to Golden State. Talking about, yeah, they ain't getting back there. I don't see that.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Nope.

[Uncle Ocho]

Before we get to our super chats, we got some video voicemails from our Discord. Make sure you join our Discord to submit videos for us to possibly show. This One comes from Arkansas 15. Checking back in with us and letting us know he's for sure high. Take a listen.

[Joe Johnson]

What's good with a nightcap? Yes, definitely smoking. Good. Hop back on here and say woo pig.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Suey baby.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah. Hey, that one, Cloud nine over there. I know.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, just make sure there's no confusion.

[Joe Johnson]

That boy sparked up over there. Look at it. Yeah, Woo pig.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

This one comes from Xavier. Let's take a listen. What Xavier had to say.

[Discord Viewer]

I have two questions for you. And Joe, I have one question for you. First question, Unk. When you worked with Skip in la, how did you stay disciplined with the breakfast you would post every morning, you know, to keep your body in tip top shape? And the second question is, how much different is it working with Skip versus your old colleagues like Stephen A. Smith and the other people over at ESPN that you worked with? And Joe, my question I have for you is the night you made Paul Pierce touch earth going forward, how did the opposing team and players, like, how did they, how did they defend you? And like what did they draw up to defend you after you made Paul Pierce, like after you embarrassed him?

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Well, go ahead, Joe, I'll let you start.

[Joe Johnson]

For me, it wasn't that, you know, teams did anything different. Obviously it was a great dribble move and obviously I finished the shot. But I mean, yeah. Was everybody talking about it? Yeah, but I don't think people were. I don't think teams were just coming in looking to defend me differently. You know, I probably had about 21 points. That game, it wasn't like I would. I have 55, and I made him fall. You feel what I'm saying? But, but, but nonetheless, it was. It felt great. It felt great. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Well, the first question is, you know, how do you stay disciplined? It's very easy because I had been eating egg whites and oatmeal since 93, so. And I ate egg whites and oatmeal until the pandemic happened. So that just goes to show I had. I had eaten that for like 27 years straight, egg whites and oatmeal every morning for breakfast.

[Joe Johnson]

But 27 straight years?

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yep, from 1993 until late February of

[Shannon Sharpe]

2020, when the pandemic happened.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

So it was nothing for me. And plus, because I was like, you know, because we had to be there before the pandemic happened, Joe. We had to be there. We had production meeting at 4:30 in the morning. Yes. So it got hard.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So it was easy when LeBron was on the East coast because they playing 4:30 ball games, right? I'm out.

[Joe Johnson]

This man.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Come to LA. They play at 7:30. So now I'm up 10, and I got to get right back up at 4, shower, get to the place.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I only live two miles from the plate. So it only took me about. If I caught the lights just right, it would. I could get to work in three minutes. And so it was easy for me to stay disciplined. I could eat the same thing if somebody said, well, okay, Shannon, you can only eat this. For the rest, it easy. I could eat turkey, rice, broccoli. I could eat egg whites, toast, oatmeal. I can eat that every day for the rest of my life. Debating with Skip versus debating Stephen A.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

When we.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was when. When I debated Skip on Undisputed, it was a real debate show.

[Joe Johnson]

It's me versus him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sometimes he's the defense, I'm the prosecution. Sometimes he's the prosecution. I mean, I'm the defense.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, prosecution.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I'm really. We're literally trying to. I'm literally trying to win. I'm building my case to beat him, and if I can't beat him, I'm gonna punch holes in his argument and then have his fall flat. Stephen A. Is more conversational. It's not. I'm trying to beat Stephen A. I'm not trying to beat them guys. I do what. I throw a fact and it's like, okay, boom. But it was totally different because at first take, it really wasn't the debate. It was more of a. It was more of a Conversation. Ocho, what do you think about this, Joe? What do you think about this, Shannon?

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

What do you think about this, Stephen

[Shannon Sharpe]

A. I mean, Skip, I'm planting my flag right here, and I'm not moving off this. And now you, Bill, you build your case, you build your argument to support what you're saying.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

So.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And that's why. That's what you learn, is that you never. You never bring something into the argument that doesn't help your case. If you bring it in, it better help your case, because if it doesn't, all you've done is strengthen his argument, and you don't want to strengthen his argument. My strongest point is I lead out with it. My next strongest, I let. I go with that. Then I'm gonna flip it over to him. But the pro. The thing is that you got to

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

do when you're in a real, real

[Shannon Sharpe]

debate format is that you got to keep your train of thought all the while. I keep. Keep it.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, he says.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So now I'm like, okay, I'm writing it down. I'm listening. Now, before I get to my point, I'm gonna say, now, this is what you said. You said this right here. You said LeBron didn't play that well. Now, mind you, you do realize they scored 30 points in the fourth quarter, right? You do LeBron realize LeBron scored 16 points and he assisted on another six. So that's 22 or 30 points. LeBron had a key hand in. But you say LeBron didn't play well. I would say that's pretty good if somebody get 22 or 30.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

So if anybody.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If another player. Team scores 30 points and another player has 22 of those, have a hand in 22 of those. 30, did he play well? So that's how you have to build your argument. But it's just different with first take. You know me, I had a bunch of shenanigans. I'm coming with a goat mask. I got a crown on. I got a cloak on. I got a scepter. Ocho, I'm the only guy. When did you ever see a guy? I got Hennessy.

[Joe Johnson]

I got weed. I got black and mild.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I got a hot plate.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

I got. I got all that up there. They let me do a. I was like, okay, let's see how far we can push the envelope. So it's just different. Obviously, they're not letting me. They weren't gonna let me bring no cognac, no gummies, no weed. I had actual weed. Yeah, I had actually gummies with THC in them on the desk. I'm drinking at 6:30 in the morning. I got pancakes, I got sausage, I got eggs. I got a sign say Club Shay Shay featuring Coke James. So I. And when I did this, I had no, I had no idea that it was going to take off because you don't know. I'm just having a good time. Cowboy. The Broncos beat the Cowboys. I want to celebrate. Ain't no cigar, ain't anything open but convenience store at 3:30, at 4 o' clock in the morning, man, you know what? So I get some black and mild, I get some Swisher Sweets, I grab a bottle of liquor and next thing you know I got my, I got my.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

It's gone. And from that day on I've been on ever since, ever since. Aaron Wilson. What do you think about Daryl Green trying to make the Olympic flag team? I'm rooting for him. Oh, DG. I came in at 90. DG came in at 83. So DG like 65. He got to be 65.

[Joe Johnson]

He trying to make the what team?

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Flag team for the Olympics. So that's, that's two years away. So he'll be 67.68.

[Joe Johnson]

Hold on. The flag football team.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Johnson]

I seen Tom out there throwing that thing. Boy.

[Uncle Ocho]

Man, they got their head whooped. Joe.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, you see boy? Molly Wall.

[Uncle Ocho]

Hey, remember we talked about that on the show?

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yes.

[Uncle Ocho]

What did I say would happen? It doesn't matter.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

They can't play. Yeah. They can score, but they can't stop the other team.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah. You talking about how they dipping low and all that?

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Yeah. I mean they picked them off twice. They got two pick sixes.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Uncle Ocho]

And just the game in general. I mean, Joe, the nuances of flag football is completely different. It's completely different. And it just, we, we would, we would lose every time. And me and uncle had a conversation about this. Maybe, maybe it was last year, maybe the year before last. And I, I said, man, them boys will whoop us. We can get our best players in the NFL and play them in flag football and they will just win us every time. And that was a small example of it.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Anthony Bracken Jr. Who is your all time Duke starting five, Kristen Laitner and Grant Hill. That's two spots

[Joe Johnson]

you going, you going with her? You going with Hurley at the 1.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

You going Hurley or Kyrie?

[Joe Johnson]

Oh, no. Yeah. Either Kyrie or Jay Will.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Oh, Jason Williams. Jason Williams. Jason Williams. Oh, I forgot about Jason Williams. Jason Williams might be the second or third best player In Duke history. Why you bull jiving people? Listen, people don't realize how good Jay,

[Uncle Ocho]

huh, Before he got hurt, huh?

[Joe Johnson]

You were cold.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

He was a two time consensus All American. He was player of the year, Wooden Player of the year, AP Player of the Year. No, he was. He was phenomenal.

[Uncle Ocho]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Led him to a national championship. No. Hell no, Jason. Oh, he definitely. Okay, now we got two spots. We got two spots. J. Will, Grant Hill, Christian Laetner. That's three spots. Okay? You got Johnny Dawkins, you got Tommy Amaker, you got Kyrie, you got Bankero, you got Flag. You got Zion Williamson, you got Allah Abdanabi, you got Cherokee Park. You could have whomever, but there are three guys that's gonna be on there.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, Jay Will, he. He gotta be on there. Hey, man, he was so cold, bro. You know, me and him the same high school class, so I got a chance to play with him in a couple All Star games and he was cold, man.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

People don't realize how good he was because Ocho, he got on a motorcycle and, you know, he wrecked himself after his rookie year and he was never the same. And, you know, they moved on. But boy, in college, he was like that. Lord have mercy. He was absolutely like that. So who. Who else you got? Oh, we forgot about Elton Brand was the first guy. They had to go number one overall.

[Uncle Ocho]

Indeed.

[Joe Johnson]

Hold on. You ain't gonna. You ain't gonna put Tatum or, or, or, or, or, Or Zion or nobody in there. They ain't. They ain't making it.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

I'm saying. I'm talking about college. I'm talking about just college.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. College.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Cherokee, Crystal Laitner, J. Will and Grant Hill. Those three gonna be on there now if you want. Zion. Zion was college player of the year. Who else? College player. Cooper. Flag was Cooper player of the year. If you want to put Cooper flag, you want to put a bi. You want to put Tatum, you want to put.

[Uncle Ocho]

Who?

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Elton Brand. I don't care. But I don't think you can have a Duke starting five without J. Will, without Grant Hill, and without Chris.

[Joe Johnson]

What about J.J. reddick?

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

That's up. Hey, J.J. that was another. I think. Didn't J.J. win play of the year?

[Joe Johnson]

I think so. I know. He was a hell of a player. Duke boy, you. Hey, you put. Gotta put him on that team.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, and we forgot about Danny Ferry. People don't realize how good Danny Fairy was in college. I ain't talking about NBA. I'm not talking about the NBA. They said the starting five at Duke. So it's only based on what you did at Duke. Danny. I think Danny Fair was the number two overall draft pick. I think Purvis went number one.

[Joe Johnson]

Yeah, he's supposed to be like that, Man. That's a hard one, dude.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

Hey, Duke. Duke had a five. I mean, look at all the number one overall picks. They had Elton Brand, Kyrie Zion, Paulo Bankero.

[Joe Johnson]

What pick? Jay will go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Jay will with two.

[Joe Johnson]

Who went before him? I think they had to be the O2 draft. Who was it? So that was after. That was after us. That was after the high schoolers.

[Chad Ochocinco (Chad Johnson)]

The high school was still coming. That was before the high school because LeBron was 03, Dwight Howard was 04.

[Joe Johnson]

No, I'm saying. But no, my class 01 was Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry and Kwame Brown. Those, those three high schoolers were in the top five picks. So then O2 is when Jay Will came in. I don't know. I can't remember whether y' all mean O2.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look at, look at O2 draft.
