People don't really know that but his first year is with the Steelers and then he went to the Patriots and I think he finished in Kansas City if I'm not mistaken. But when it came to sitting the edge, the one thing you do and you play with a Bill Belichick team, you can set the edge. Every linebacker I've ever played when he was coaching in Cleveland, when he coached at the jets, when he coached in New England, they're gonna hold the edge.

Coach Belichick believes you can't stop the run. You can't win. Go back and look at his linebackers when he played when he coached the Jets. Look at lt. Look at Carl Banks, Pepper Johnson.

ISO Joe Johnson
You know, they're all capable, but they
Chad Ochocinco Johnson

ISO Joe Johnson
I'm simply leaning towards Mahone because he has three. Jalen wouldn't have been a bad choice as well, being that he's won one as well. But I'm, I'm, I'm going my own way.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
For me, this for me,
Uncle Joe
man, I ain't gonna lie. I would have loved to play with Kobe, bro. Kobe Bryant. Yeah, playing for the Lakers. Like I done been to many Lakers games, even when I wasn't even, even right before I got drafted because I, I trained and worked out of LA before the draft. That was in June. So I was out there in LA for like three months. So I had went to plenty of Lakers games and the atmosphere was just like no other, bro. You know what I mean? It's just gray weather, fanatics of fans. And it was at a time where the Lakers were at the top, bro. They were the best team. I think they were working on like a, I don't know if it was a 2 Pete or 3 Pete in 01. What was that?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That was 33 Pete, bro.
Uncle Joe
I never seen nothing like that. I never seen nothing like that. It was amazing.

ISO Joe Johnson
You know, basketball court, you know, hands. I mean, have. You want to do it?
Uncle Joe
Yeah. He said you repping that shot time.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But, you know, Z came up in the 80s where they threw hands in.
ISO Joe Johnson
Back in basketball 2000, we threw hands, too.
Uncle Joe
Yeah. Okay.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay, the next one comes from Tyler Hamilton. Let's take a listen to what Tyler from South Carolina. My question to y' all is, who is a loved one y' all lost? You know, that has impacted y' all in your life or a friend or, you know, family member? I recently lost my college teammate, my brother.
ISO Joe Johnson
You know, we used to be in
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
the same receiver room in college and played together. Rondell Moore. So RIP Rondell. I just want to hear y' all thoughts on that.
ISO Joe Johnson
I mean, people. People I've lost that were close to me outside of family, obviously. Losing Chris Henry. Losing Chris Henry. What was he. I forgot what. What year that was. Losing Chris Henry out of that receiver room, that. That was. That. That impacted me a little bit, that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That.
ISO Joe Johnson
That bothered me a lot. To have someone that I see every day, training camp, going through practice and.
Uncle Joe
And.
ISO Joe Johnson
And having him pass away suddenly was unfortunate, but obviously, immediate family. Losing my grandma and my mama, you know, losing my grandma in 2018, losing my mama in 2021, you know, in. In a very short span was. Was. It was difficult. It was. It was. It was difficult, obviously. So now immediate family is just me and my brother, me and my brothers. And so that's. That's. That's really. You know, the head of. Of the family now is me.
Uncle Joe
Yeah, I think. Not think. But for me, I lost my pops last July. I lost my mother 2019, due to cancer. I'm only child. I got two sisters on my dad's side, Ashlyn, Tamika. I'm in the middle, but I'm my mother's only child. I didn't come up, you know, like my sisters, Ashley and Tamika. They know I love them, but we didn't. We wasn't raised together. You feel what I'm saying? I was raised an only child. So losing your parents, it does something to you? I don't know. You know, I know y' all got siblings that y' all can kind of lean on. I. And in my case, I mean, my dad, you know, me and my sisters, we all were together. But for my mother, who was probably not even probably, but she was the best thing that ever happened to me, bro. Like, I'm still dealing with that today. It never goes away, bro. Each and every day, the only thing they can help you is time. So, you know.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yep.
Uncle Joe
I. I deal with it how I deal with it, but it's tough.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I agree with you, Joe. It's my grandmother, and, you know, you. You don't get over it. But as Joe said, time you get better.
Uncle Joe
There you go.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That you don't get over it. I know. I remember exactly what I was doing. I remember when my sister called me. I remember when she was dealing with it the last two years, and knowing that, she's like, son, I got an appointment. And she would always say, I got an appointment. It's okay. You know, hey, we all got to do it. Death comes at night, but joy comes in the morning. And, boy, look here, you don't get. Like you said, Joe, you. Like I said, you get better at dealing with it, but you don't get
Uncle Joe
it because it leaves an imprint in your brain. You know what I mean? Like, just to give y' all some real context, like, you know, my mom had multiple myeloma, so it just kind of breaks the body down. You feel what I'm saying? So she go from walking and talking normal to being on bed rest that couldn't even do nothing but talk. And then she couldn't even move her lips. She could only see to the point like her heart just stopped. You feel what I'm saying? So, like, to have.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
To.
Uncle Joe
Have. To have to sit there and call my family to come see her right after she passed, after her heart stopped, like, that was the toughest thing. And then having, you know, the. The corner people come zip up in a bag, bro. Like those. Those.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You gotta make audio.
Uncle Joe
Yeah, yeah. Those are the memories that stuck in my head. I can't get them out. You feel what I'm saying? So I use that. I use that pain that I have, and I put it toward, you know, whether it's me training, doing yoga, keeping myself busy, you know, things of that sort. But it's. I mean, it's tough. It's every day. Not a day go by that I don't Think about it. For sure.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It is something that you said, Joe. You said that the process of her dealing with multiple times. So she's up and moving around. Yeah, she's up, moving around, and then she's bed ready. And, you know, my grandmother had congestive heart failure. Everything was starting to shut down. And I remember the doctor telling my sister. Now, she's like. She was like, it's not too many more times that I'm gonna call you. You know, you say your grandmother. You know, your grandmother is just make.
Uncle Joe
Yes with it.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Come to grips and all right. Stuff. It's tough. I remember, you know what? My grandmother had a. She had. Had a blood clot, and she ended up having to have her leg amputated just right above the knee. And in the process of having a leg amputated, she had a heart attack. So I remember she had the heart attack. And it's like, well, your grandma. The surgery was going well, but your grandmother had a heart attack. I was like, oh, Lord have mercy. But she's tough. She pulled through. Say she. You know, she's. She's in the recovery room, and so we're gonna move her back to the
ISO Joe Johnson
room,
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
and probably in about another 30 minutes, you'll be able to go back and see her. When me, Spanky and Libby walked in that room, you wouldn't have known anything happening. Mother. She looked, she said, there go my grands. She said, I didn't think I'd ever see y' all again. She was so happy. Living prop. I was young. You got to realize my mom. My grandmother got on the train and came and got me from Chicago. I was three months old. That's context. My grandmother got on the train by herself. Never had been on the train before in her life. Came from Georgia all the way to Chicago. And when she was leaving, when they dropped her off at the train station, my grandfather yelled, don't forget to bring Spade back. That was my brother. I come back. They brought me back. I was three months. My dad comes and gets me, takes me back. I'm seven months. I come back for good. I'm two. So from 1970 until 1980, summer of 83, I slept in the bed with my grandmother every night playing football. Ocho. I scored two, three touchdowns. I dropped 30. I go home because my grandmother alone. It was my grandmother and my nephew. So that closeness, that. And that's what's tough. And I've asked. I've often asked myself, and I pray God, will I ever love a woman like I love that Woman, never.
Uncle Joe
That's unconditional.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's. That's. That's that. Because, Ocho, because that's. That's the thing. I say, God, I just. Just. If it's not to that degree, let me love somebody half as much as I love Mary Porter. That's it. I say, God, if you give me that, I'm good.
Uncle Joe
Because, you know, you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You like Joe. You Joe, you right. Man, they're boy. To go through what I went through to get to where I got. The only thing I could see was my grandmother like. Son, this is all.
Uncle Joe
This.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
This the best granny could do. This all granny got. Son, this ain't much. We. We spraying water on the floor. Because if you ever been in a warehouse in the cement floors again in the summer, and we spraying water on the floor so the dust she's. Son, this all we got. This ain't. This ain't much, son, but let's try to get it clean. Man, I drove me to the point of obsession and people like, well, Shannon, why you like? Cause I didn't have nothing. I'm. I was. I was poured and poured. Man, please.
Uncle Joe
Well, I know you.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
If I can love somebody is half as I much love. As half as I love as much as I love Mary Porter. Ocho, if you love somebody as much as you love.
ISO Joe Johnson
Love Paul, it's different. It's different. We would never, you know, uncle and Joe, we'd never be able to fill that void.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And.
ISO Joe Johnson
And. And what they gave us, ever.
Uncle Joe
It was unconditional, bro. Unconditional.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They didn't want anything in return.
ISO Joe Johnson
You're not gonna find that again.
Uncle Joe
I know that feeling.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Boy. That last time. The last time I held my grandmother, my arm when she was crying uncontrollably. That guy did the story on me. Mike Cliff. He remembered. And he was getting ready to come in the room, and my grandmother was crying. And I told him to stop because I didn't want him to see my grandmother like that. And I got in my arms and she just cried uncontrollably. And I just say, granny, I got it. I said, granny, I got it. I said, don't worry about Libby. Don't worry about Spanky, and don't worry about Mama. I told her. And when I talked to. She always called me as I got. As she got older, she stopped. I mean, she really never could. She called us boy, a son. She called me a baby. I said, granny, your baby got it. I said, go rest. I said, I got it. My grandmother had. Because Libby. Libby was because when Libby came in 1970, Libby never left. Libby never left my grandma's home. So when me. When Spanky went to school, it was me, you know, obviously my aunts and them started out. You know, they started getting married and moved out and did all their own thing. So it was Libby, Granny, my nephew Dietrich, they moved to the. My brother, they moved to the new house. It's my brother, it's Libby, Granny and Dietrich. Now. My nephew passed away. Is Libby and Granny. It's Libby and Granny. Libby and Granny. Libby didn't really like to do a whole lot if she coming. Libby coming on a Friday. She come to a game back, she got to get back. Got to get back to Granny, you know, when you coming back, you know, go to the Pro Bowl. You know, Libby I like, you know, she went to the Pro bowl two years. She called. She called and check on Granny. She worked. She was. She excited to go. But after the first day, you might not see Libby. Libby might not come down. Libby would come down like we get there on that Sunday. Libby would come down Monday, hang out, everybody laughing and talking. She might not come down out of her room until we got to go to the game Sunday. Then we on the red. I coming back. That's how she was. She wanted to be home. Boy, when I told my grandma I got it, that your baby got it, and you can go rest. Grant, I promise you, I got him probably a week. Probably a week. Libby told me, say she got Shannon, she gone. I said, for real, Libby? Yep. Then everything that you thought, all the things that you thought, everything. Like I said, y' all think I got a good memory when it come to sport. I can tell you every time my grandmother's ever been upset at me. I can tell you every time that she whipped me. I can tell you every word my grandfather said. My grandfather died in February of 1977. I would have been nine that June. I can tell you every word my grandfather said in front of me, verbatim. Verbatim. But situation like that, Ocho, like you said, is different. It's different. But I can't give up, Ocho. We can't give up, Ocho. Oh, there's somebody.
ISO Joe Johnson
I feel that voice. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No.
ISO Joe Johnson
You know the problem?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Huh? What's that?
ISO Joe Johnson
What the problem is is that love that we have for them, you know, and. And you happen to. To try to find those same values and expectations, and you put that pressure on somebody else, even though they don't
Uncle Joe
know it, you ain't trying to do
ISO Joe Johnson
that bro down every time.
Uncle Joe
Joe, no, you ain't trying to put that on nobody.
ISO Joe Johnson
Hey, I mean, just. You heard what you heard what you just said.
Uncle Joe
Yeah.
ISO Joe Johnson
Find someone to love the same way you love. It's almost impossible.
Uncle Joe
Yeah,
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
well, I know I ain't gonna find nobody to love me like, man.
Uncle Joe
Hello?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Love me. Because she gave. She gave. She took her. She raised her nine and then took my mom's three. She gave. Mary Porter gave me everything but life.
ISO Joe Johnson
You don't think you'll find anybody to love you the way Mary Porter loves you?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No. Hell, no.
Uncle Joe
No.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
God, no.
Uncle Joe
No.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'm not that. I'm not that naive enough to believe that. Do I? Do I. Somebody love me? Yes. They'll love me.
ISO Joe Johnson
Not to that extent, no.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ain't no sense of me fooling myself, but I do believe the person loved me. Yeah, for sure. And all because you gotta look, because, Ocho, you gotta love somebody even with their imperfections, even with their scars, even with the trauma. Because, see, here's the thing. You. You just don't love that person. You got to love that person and their past and the trauma that's associated with said past. But I think that understanding that nobody is perfect, man.
Uncle Joe
Damn.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It's a lot easier said than done.
ISO Joe Johnson
I was just getting ready to say that. Because every. Everybody. Everybody insinuates love. When everything is going good, when the sunshine, everybody happy, you're living well, money flowing. He's easy to love. Then.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What the devil told. Told the Lord about Job. He said, you gave him everything. Why would he not serve you? He said, no, no, you got the wrong one. You got Joel messed up. He said, you do everything you want to, but you can't touch a hair on his head. Took his family, took all his kids, took all his livestock. Even his friends came by. Say, you ain't telling us, but you did something. Ain't no way that man demand that you. You serve. Put this on you. And you ain't did. You ain't got to tell us. God said, okay, y' all playing with me. I'mma do something for y', all, too. But don't worry about it. Job held in there. Job, old lady told him, say, just go ahead and curse this man. All them blisters on his bodies. Say, man, won't you go on and curse him and get out of this misery? Job looked at the woman and said, is he not God good and in bad? Woman, hush. So as you said, Ocho love somebody in good and in bad. Not when it's just going good. Not when the money rolling in, not when you at the top. Not with everything is. Because they're going to be hardships. They're going to be bumps in the road.
ISO Joe Johnson
Hey, let me ask you a question, huh? You've been around a long time. How many stay around for them bumps in the road?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Come on, now.
ISO Joe Johnson
I mean, it ain't. It ain't Sunday, and we need to preach.
Uncle Joe
It depends on. Hey, it depends on what type of bumps in the road now.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It is there.
Uncle Joe
It is where it is. Yeah.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, it all. Hey, Joe. Like you were before. I'm gonna let. I'm go ahead and say this. It all depends on what type of hol. You know what I'm saying? Did you run into a ditch? You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying.
Uncle Joe
Hey, hey, listen.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They.
Uncle Joe
They.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They ain't gonna let you play in
Uncle Joe
their face now, all right? Yeah. No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
We.
Uncle Joe
We got a lot of fault that. That we got to take blame for, too. Now, you know?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I ain't got no problem with that.
Public Investing/Redfin Advertiser
You.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's me. That's on me.
Uncle Joe
Yeah, we probably all. We probably all done let a few get by.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I ain't never told nobody. Look, I messed up. I messed it up. I ain't gonna sit here and hold nobody. Somebody. Oh, no. I've been good, right? I ain't. I ain't. And I'm a work in progress. I try to do better. I try to do better today than here we are. And tomorrow, try to be better.
Uncle Joe
We all are.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's all I got.
Uncle Joe
We all are, bro.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I. I'm. I'm not perfect.
ISO Joe Johnson
None of us are.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But I just want somebody to love me and all these scars.
ISO Joe Johnson
Depending on how many you got, huh?
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
We got a bunch. I got a bunch. I've been through a lot, man. I've been through a lot.
ISO Joe Johnson
Hold on now. We in the same boat now.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Don't.
ISO Joe Johnson
Don't do that.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
We went through our bit. We've been through a lot of. Joe. But I guess that's why God gave me these shoulders. He's like, bro, you can handle it. Don't think that it get. It doesn't get hard sometimes. You're like, damn sure. But I wouldn't change my life. I wouldn't change. I wouldn't change anything about it because I'm not who I am without marrying Barney Porter. I'm not who I am without the upbringing that I have. I'm not who I am. A lot of this is a blessing and a curse because maybe I'm too. I'm too structured. Maybe I'm too hard. Maybe I. Because I want. Because, oh, y' all was so small, and I just want. I wanted. I wanted to please everybody. That's my. My biggest fault is that I try to please everybody. And when I please everybody, the one person that I let down is me every time.
Uncle Joe
So you have to learn that the hard way.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You do, man.
Uncle Joe
Learn that the hard way, bro. You try and help people, and what you get in return is. Is just bs, bro.
ISO Joe Johnson
Sometimes you get to the point where you try to make people happy, and no matter what you do, for some reason, there always seems to be a problem that arises. And then at that point, for me, I've been. I'm known to. I don't want to be combative anymore. I just rescind on the doing part.
Uncle Joe
Right.
ISO Joe Johnson
I just stopped doing.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Absolutely.
ISO Joe Johnson
I'm on the other side of the mountain, if that makes sense.

I just. You. That's how I am, Ocho. You know what? I won't. I want gratitude. I want somebody to appreciate me. I don't want a whole lot what you want. I don't want nothing. I want appreciation. Thank you.
Uncle Joe

Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Appreciate that. That's all I want. I want gifts. I want appreciation. Shannon, I appreciate you.
Uncle Joe

Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I. I. The number one thing that I hate in an individual is ungratefulness, man. Hey, hey, that's the number. That's the number one thing.
Uncle Joe
Hey, make you stop talking to somebody, man. I'm talking about. I mean, I won't. I won't even look your way, man. You act ungrateful, man, for real.
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's. That's my number one thing. You don't preach because I'm. Because I'm thinking like, man, if it was me, I'm trying to get. I'm trying. And I try to go out of my way to get a person, whatever, especially that person in my life, whatever they. Whatever they want. Whatever. Whatever I think they want, and they could. They really gonna appreciate it. But if I spend X amount of dollars and you like, yeah, hey, it
Uncle Joe
could have been another color.
ISO Joe Johnson
Hey, being ungrateful and taking advantage of knowing. Knowing you're nice.
Uncle Joe
Hey, Ocho.

I do that in a heartbeat, Especially for somebody I care for. Use me just don't miss you. Me just don't. You know, because it's like once you get somebody some once, they gonna be looking for that.

They throw the grill, they get some alcohol, we have a good time. But I mean mainly, you know, if I talk, this homeboy on the phone is probably bucket burns. Occasionally I reach out to face, I'll talk to face, check on him, see how he doing. For the most part, my brother, my sister, kids, I'm just. There's a new term, it's called an ultrovert.

On choosing Mahomes over other QBs
"I’m taking my homeboy on simply because he’s been in that situation before. He has three. He has two Super Bowls already…”
—ISO Joe Johnson ([21:29])
On love and loss:
“If I can love somebody half as much as I love Mary Porter, I’m good.”
—Chad Ochocinco Johnson ([32:10])
On gratitude:
“The number one thing that I hate in an individual is ungratefulness, man.”
—Chad Ochocinco Johnson ([45:19])
On sports food excess:
“Absolutely no, sir. Zero chance. No, you...this right here, you will be in the bathroom.”
—Chad Ochocinco Johnson ([08:20])
This Nightcap episode moves deftly between comedic, brotherly energy and grounded, powerful reflection. The trio’s chemistry lets them pivot from roasting each other about food or sports to discussing how to deal with grief and the ongoing search for meaningful love and appreciation.
For listeners: If you love honest sports debate, stories of perseverance, and real talk about life outside the limelight, this episode of Nightcap offers it all.
